Interview with Josh Daigrepont
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I am proud of the Ugly God "Bumps and Bruises" record. I was the mix engineer for the entire album. It didn't turn out how I would have personally wanted it to, but I am proud of the fact I was able to give Ugly God everything he asked for when working on the record.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am currently working with a few Independent artists as well as working on building my network up.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: I would recommend Darryl Thorp. Fellow CRAS alumni, He has done some amazing things with some of the best in music.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I would say digital ONLY because of the convenience factor. With the industry moving as fast paced as it is, recalling digital mixes is much easier than analog mixes. But I love the sound and workflow of analog because there is nothing like it.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I promise I will give my 110% on my work with them no matter how big or small the record/client may be. I give the same effort to someone just beginning their career as I would the biggest names in the industry. And I also promise to keep working until the client is fully satisfied.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I like fulfilling the artists wants and needs. There isn't too many better feelings than a happy client and hearing something that they created come to life above what they intended it to be.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Most common question is price. I will always ask what the budget is and we take it from there. I do my best to work with all budgets.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Biggest misconception I've come across is people tend to think what I do can be done easily and finished in minuets. They usually don't realize the time, effort and skill it takes to bring a record to life.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I ask what direction they are looking to go in, time frame for the project, any particular creative ideas they may have for the record, and if they have any references similar to the style and sound they are looking for.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: I would advise them to have the session/stems as clean as possible. I understand small studio and home recordings are the thing now days, so I would advise them to get the cleanest recordings possible and make sure nothing is clipping or has unwanted distortion.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: I would choose a loaded Macbook (equipped with DAW's and plugins), a SSL AWS console, a pair of Barefoot Monitors, a Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor, and my Kensington Mouse.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: My career path getting where I am today should be a book or mini movie because it's way too long to type here. But I have been Professionally doing this going on 6 years now. I have had the honor and pleasure of working with and meeting many of the best engineers in the industry. In all, I would like to be known as one of the great engineers who not only does a good job, but that artists love working with.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I would say my mixing style is unique. I like to experiment and try new techniques and gear to get the best sound possible.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would love to do studio work with Pharrell. His creativity and production is amazing and he seems like I could mesh well in the studio with him.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: One music production tip; approach every mix, tracking session, live gig, etc. different. We all have our "go to" plug ins and gear we like to use which is fine, but use your ears and not your habits to give the record what it needs because every record, instrument, sound and artist are different.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually work on hip-hop, country and some rock.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is attention to detail. It is highly important to me to be attentive to the artist or label to bring their vision to life on the record.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I feel as if I bring creativity to a song. I always do everything I can to meet the artists or labels need and wants and without getting too in to the producer roll, I like to add my small creative ideas to the mix if it happens to need a little spark.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: When mixing; I typically receive the mix session or stems and open it in my DAW. I'll take a listen to the tune once or twice and get a feel for the record (and listen to references if any). I will then note what edits, tuning and fixes I need to make before beginning the mix. I will the edit, tune and fix whats needed, then do my "blend mix" where I get a good starting balance before applying any EQ or Dynamics. From there I begin the mix.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My personal setup I operate mainly with Protools 12 and Logic Pro X. With my personal setup I mainly work in the box and will usually sum the mixes through a analog buss compressor when printing. The facility I work for (Dauphin Street Sound); I work on either a API 1608 or and SSL AWS 924. I have access to almost every highly recommended piece of outboard gear with brands such as Shadow Hills, API, Millennia, and many more.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Musicians: Alicia Keys, Snarky Puppy, Kayne West, Pharrell, Swizz Beats and many many more. Music Production Professionals: Trina Shoemaker, Mark Dearnly, Dave Pensado, Phil Tan and many more.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I mostly mix and/or master for clients. I do tracking sessions on occasions but mix for the most part.

* Alternative gas route to Germany seen as non-essential
* Strained Moscow-Berlin ties may lead to project being axed
* Western companies would suffer hard but Gazprom more
* Gas prices likely to rise but COVID-19 dampens demand
By Vera Eckert, Paul Carrel and Tom Käckenhoff
FRANKFURT/BERLIN/DUESSELDORF, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Abandoning the nearly complete Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to Germany could create a legal mess and nudge up energy costs for European households but Germany would cope with any disruption to supplies, economists say.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas at the weekend questioned the project -- thus far supported by Germany -- following the suspected poisoning of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.
Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman reinforced the shift in tone on Monday, saying she shared the view of Maas, who told newspaper Bild am Sonntag: "I certainly hope that the Russians will not force us to change our position on Nord Stream 2."
Their comments cast doubt over the future of a project that is more than 90% complete, scheduled to operate from early 2021 and which would double the capacity of the existing Nord Stream 1 pipeline from Russia to Germany, Europe's largest economy.
Knocking out that additional capacity would put upward pressure on gas prices. But reduced energy demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and slack in the German economy, would give Berlin time to work out alternative additional supply sources.
"Germany could easily afford it," Berenberg Bank economist Holger Schmieding said of the possibility of axing the pipeline, describing the impact on economic output as "negligible".
"We have time anyway, and now with GDP only to reach pre-pandemic levels in 2022, in a way we have more time to figure out how to grapple with it than we had before," he said.
Navalny was airlifted to Germany for hospital treatment after falling ill on a Russian domestic flight last month. The German government says he was poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent similar to the one used in an attempt to kill a former Russian spy in England two years ago.
Moscow says it has seen no evidence he was poisoned.
Merkel, who had until now been unwavering in her support for Nord Stream 2, wants to agree a response to the affair with Germany's European Union partners and is first awaiting an explanation from Russia.
Merkel and the EU face a trade-off between the economic benefits of the pipeline and the firm political message that abandoning it would send to Russia, analysts say.
"Merkel's perhaps deliberate opening of the domestic debate underlines that Berlin's support for pragmatic dialogue with Putin is not for free," said Carsten Nickel at Teneo, a consultancy.
Germany could use the threat of an exit from the project to try to get more engagement from Russian President Vladimir Putin on issues such as Ukraine or Belarus, he said.
But with 2,300 km of the 2,460 km twin-pipeline length completed, the commercial momentum behind the project may well carry it through.
A study undertaken in April by Cologne University's energy economics institute (EWI) showed that consumers would benefit from a 5% gas price discount if Nord Stream 2 materialised.
There is strong commercial resistance to axing the project. Oliver Hermes, chairman of the Ost-Ausschuss, which represents German business interests in Russia, said abandoning it would damage Germany's commercial reputation.
"This would place a considerable burden on the image of the EU and Germany as a safe investment location," he said.
German gas stocks were filled to 93.2% capacity on Saturday, data from European infrastructure group GIE showed, more than enough to cope with the immediate challenge of heating Germans' homes this winter.
But sourcing alternative energy supplies in the longer term - potentially from U.S. fracking gas, liquid gas from Russia and Qatar, or additional pipeline gas - would cost "billions of euros per year, which European consumers in particular would then have to pay," Hermes said.
The legal costs of abandoning Nord Stream 2 could also prove a major headache. The five Western partners in the 9.5 billion euro project led by Russia's Gazprom would suffer massive writedowns should it be axed.
Half a dozen people familiar with the industry said pulling the plug would provoke a backlash from among the 120 firms involved in the project. Two of the people, including a specialist energy lawyer, forecast a raft of lawsuits.

EHSQ leaders in the Middle East and Intelex innovators and partners met in Dubai to share best practices and opportunities for growth and innovation in 2020 and beyond.
Dubai is a melting pot; millions of people from different cultures, coming together to support a glowing city that has risen out of the desert like a phoenix. Everywhere you look, the city/state is expanding, from the world's tallest building – the towering, twinkling Burj Khalifa, reaching 2,722 ft into the air – to the suburbs that are stretching out around the city to accommodate workers and their families who have come to Dubai to support the city's main drivers: construction, energy and tourism.
Neil Berry, SVP and GM of Intelex's UK office, welcomed over 100 attendees to the 2019 Middle East Customer Forum, telling them, "The future is continuous innovation."
Berry quoted His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, and ruler of the Emirate of Dubai, who said, "Human beings, their ideas, innovations, dreams and connections, are the capital of the future. Because where great minds go today, great things will happen tomorrow."
So what better place than this city of innovation to meet with Intelex's growing number of Middle East customers to share best practices, learn about upcoming innovations and find out how employers can better use the massive amounts of data they collect to improve EHSQ?
Berry noted the Middle East has been an iconic leader in innovation, making special note of FIFA 2022 in Qatar and Dubai Expo 2020, revealing that both projects are Intelex customers. These world-class events require huge investments not only in infrastructure, but also in worker safety and health. The equivalent of building a city in a very short span of time, both projects will require thousands of workers who will accumulate millions of manhours of work and feature the necessity of logistical gymnastics to rival the largest shipping and receiving operations in the world. From the architects designing the projects to the truck drivers delivering goods and construction materials to the workers operating cranes, securing the foundations and guarding the perimeters of the sites, there is not a single part of the operations that are not reliant in some way on the digital innovations that are part of IIoT 4.0.
The first Intelex and Barik IT Middle East Customer Forum, which focused on the possibilities of Industry 4.0 and the need for companies to transition their data collection from silos to synergies, provided:
• A deep dive into Intelex future innovations and roadmap
• Live customer panels with shared insights from EHSQ leaders
• Disruptive trends that are driving the industry
• Strategies for harnessing the value of IIoT- enabled EHSQ
• Share knowledge and best practices with other Intelex customers
In her opening remarks, Roula Vrsic, SVP of Marketing for Intelex, noted that we are at "a new inflection point" in EHSQ. EHSQ 1.0 was notable for incident logs, air emissions and audits. EHSQ 2.0 featured web forms, workflows and task lists, while Industry 3.0 was known for system of record, analytics and BI and mobile apps. EHSQ 4.0, however, reflects how our entire lives have been transformed by the Internet of Things.
"I counted 40 connected devices in my home," Vrsic said. "I have become the CIO of my home." And, she added, the same is true of the workplace: "IoT is already here," said Vrsic. "And it is alive and well in your organization."
The real value of IoT is its data-gathering potential – connected wearables on workers, connected sensors in the workplace, proximity beacons in facilities, connected assets – and the value of all of that data to impact business for the better, she added. Surprisingly, she added, only one percent of IoT data is currently used. The purpose of the forum was to show attendees how they can use more of the data they gather to innovate in business and in EHSQ.
Vrsic pointed out that the Middle East is the leader for IIOT wearables for workers. This provides the potential for the Middle East to be a leader in the push toward the concept of connected workers; workers who are connected not only to sensors that track insights about their physical conditions – such as temperature and respiration and proximity to risks such as moving equipment and hazardous gases – and who are connected to systems that allow them to input and export insights about the workplace such as injuries, illnesses, near misses, training hours, behavioral observations and much more.
With more and more opportunities for IoT to impact EHSQ, it becomes "crucial for EHS professionals to fight for a seat at the table of the digital transformation and IoT," said Vrsic. This increasing knowledge about work and the worker – driven by the potential for IIoT – makes EHSQ "a key contributor" to the health of a business, she added.

Concerta Methylphenidate
Concerta Methylphenidate used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults, and children over 6. Stimulants influence the parts of the brain and central nervous system that control hyperactivity and impulses.
This medication is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder – ADHD. It works by changing the amounts of certain natural substances in the brain. Methylphenidate belongs to a class of drugs known as stimulants. It can help increase your ability to pay attention, stay focused on an activity, and control behavior problems.

It's getting hard to write longer posts these days, so here are some short thoughts that I wish I could develop further but haven't been able to get to:
- Re Ukraine: Joe Biden is doing a pretty good job, certainly better than either of his predecessors (especially Barack Obama, who wouldn't even sell antitank weapons to Ukraine after Russia annexed Crimea and invaded Donbas in 2014). But President Biden could be doing better. We need to sell/give the Ukrainians more weapons and more powerful weapons. The best, and quickest, way to end the war is for Ukraine to win. Let's help them do it – now.
- Given all the weapons we are shipping to Ukraine, we need to replenish, and build up, our own inventories. That means spending more money on defense – and committing to do it for an extended period of time.

With the advent of new technologies such as Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), we have also witnessed the swift emergence and even swifter rise of a new kind of professional profile: the data scientist. As recent market research by Gartner shows, this new breed of computer scientist also brings with him (or her) a new category of tools in the form of Data Science and Machine Learning (DSML) platforms.
Last year, LinkedIn labeled data scientist "the most promising job of 2019". And what's more, according to that professional network's founder, data science-based jobs actually grew 15 to 20 times over a three-year period. It clearly pays, therefore, to be a data scientist these days - literally as well as figuratively.
From a recruiting perspective, the main problem with data scientists is that they need to acquire high levels of advanced education in niche areas of math and computer science before they can even enter the field. The large majority of expert data scientists have at least a Master's degree, and nearly half of them have PhDs. Most common IT professionals simply do not have the skills to build the algorithms required to power predictive analytics, data mining, and other big data techniques that businesses need. So while there is currently a huge demand for people with such skillsets, there are not nearly enough applicants to meet that demand.
That leaves the actual hiring of an expert data scientist out of reach for many if not most businesses. Luckily, along with the growing demand for expert data scientists, the amount of business intelligence (BI) tools has also been steadily growing. And, as is often the case in our industry, combining the right software with the right employees has created another new and equally crucial role, namely that of the citizen data scientist.
A citizen data scientist is basically a software power user with above-average analytics skills, to the extent that he or she is adept at applying analytics to solve business problems. More specifically, a citizen data scientist should be tech-savvy enough to perform moderate data analysis tasks, using software features like drag-and-drop tools and prebuilt models to create analytical models without code.
But the truly great thing about citizen data scientists is that, unlike expert data scientists, you don't need to look for them outside of your organisation in order to recruit them: they are already a part of it. They could in fact be anyone from a web developer to a marketing director, provided that they can apply their industry experience and business knowledge to data analysis. It is important to keep in mind, though, that they cannot and do not replace expert data scientists. Instead, they complement them or, more to the point, they complement each other.
Just as both profiles work best when they work together, both profiles also work best when they have the right tools to support them. And this is where Gartner's Data Science and Machine Learning (DSML) platforms come in, supporting variously skilled data scientists in multiple tasks across the data and analytics spectrum. In my next post I will take a closer look at this emerging new market and share some of Gartner's main insights with you.

"The personal is political," said the feminist Carol Hanitsch more than 50 years ago.
Perhaps we know this concept today as "identity politics".
In Schenectady Civic Playhouse's excellent 85-minute production of "The Cake," a 2019 play by Bekah Brunstetter inspired by the famous Colorado lawsuit against a baker who refused to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple , you are in familiar cultural territory – a baker confirmed by the Supreme Court.
Brunstetter's screenplay reverses the genders of the baker and the plaintiffs from male to female, and instead of focusing on the logic of the controversy, we keep our focus on the beliefs, desires, and needs of the fictional characters.
Della (Josephine O'Connor) owns a bakery in a North Carolina town, but her ambitions extend beyond four walls: she becomes a contestant on a telecast national baking competition and chats with an unseen British judge during the play.
Jen (Elizabeth Sherwood Mack), Della's goddaughter, visits her hometown unannounced from New York City and asks Della to bake a wedding cake for her marriage to Macy (Monet Thompson), a young black woman. Stunned by Jen's announcement that she is a lesbian, Della declines her request because her October calendar is full.
Macy, a journalist, quickly sees through Della's lie, and it soon becomes clear that Della and her husband Tim (David Orr) do not condone gay relationships because of their religious beliefs.
The lines are drawn and the rest of the play, made up of numerous scenes, explores everyone's point of view. In the case of Tim and Macy, these diametrically opposed views are pretty much spelled out: "The Bible tells me so" versus "love is love."
But a real struggle for understanding occurs between Della and Jen, largely because of their shared history, and it is here that the play finds deep emotion and becomes more than just a framework for polemics.
Brunstetter also creates some humor and poignancy in Della's imaginative conversations with the contest judge; in the relationship between Tim and Della; and in the opening monologue, which ironically foreshadows all that Della will soon experience outside the kitchen, her clear recipe for life becomes a smorgasbord of missteps.
The staging (Jennifer Van Iderstyne, producer) is exemplary. Set design by David Zweirankin and lighting design by David Caso work together to reveal the action in four different locations. Laura Graver's costumes are vividly reminiscent of the four personalities. And the rest of the production staff lives up to SCP's high standards, which we've come to appreciate.
Sara Paupini (assisted by Cori Irwin) makes her directorial debut on the main stage. Its cheap! Each scene is a mini-drama, and she helped her cast find the point and tone of each scene. And the pace of delivery is reasonable.
Tim of Orr infuriates: A bigoted man, right? When Tim doesn't completely change his mind, he grows noticeably thanks to the sweetness Orr brings to a late scene with Della.
Thompson's Macy is not one to argue with. She has a quick comeback for everything, and she has the intellectual "right" on her side. we feel it She is stable. We need her, even if she's a bit exhausting. A finely etched depiction.
In a beautiful performance that grows from innocence to wisdom, Mack subtly reveals the many facets of Jens, a young woman able to stand up to bigotry but regrets having to do so, when it comes to people she loves.
From Della's light-hearted opening monologue to a series of rude awakenings, both professional and personal, O'Connor creates a woman we love and care about. O'Connor's lyrics and confident stage moves are seamless, heartfelt no matter how emotional he is. A terrific SCP debut.
And the uncredited voice of George the judge is top notch.

An online exhibition produced by art students of Suffolk New College, Ipswich.
TRANSITION (Noun) the process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another.)
TRANSITION is an online project providing young artists the tools to adapt and be resilient to change with the current climate.
For this project, students have worked independently within a varied range of media and workshop sessions including: printmaking, fine art, painting, fashion and textiles and photography. The resulting new work has been digitally documented to produce images and gifs of their work that are presented to the public through this virtual exhibition, giving the students exposure and live work experience.
For my transition project I have worked on becoming a more professional photographer. The reason I did this is because I want a career in nature photography. I thought how good this project would be for my future career as I could transition from a student photographer to a professional photographer by creating a photography brand for my work. I printed my brand onto garments.
The Kuleshov Effect is a method used in film editing. It was used by Lev Kuleshov to show meaning between two sequential shots. It shows transitions between one place to another and an object evolving into something else.

The figures have been reduced to their bare essentials: simply the punch and what drives it; the innate animal violence in conjunction with the authoritative force of emotion. A human without their animal tendencies nor their human emotions, is a mere shadow.
Examining liminal space and transitions in relationships. Taking influence from Emin and the Arte Porvera movement; I wanted to create my own physical liminal space that also represented the mental liminality, (in regards to relationships ending), whilst also exploring art and symbolism in everyday objects. I built the space and used text to attempt to convey a message and to create an unsettling feeling (associated with liminal space (both physical and non-physical).
The viewer is able to open the door and close themselves inside. There is a light in the top left corner, so the viewer can see the text and suitcase when the door is closed.

I have created this 3d version of myself to represent masks we use in society and as people to disguise who or what we really are inside. In everyday life we all have roles to play which involve disguising emotions in certain situations such as in working environments or putting on a brave face in front of family or friends.
The word mask is particularly prominent at this current time due to the ongoing pandemic which involves us wearing a physical mask as protection from an illness. Although the mask serves a purpose in covering our mouths, in many respects it serves as a symbol of the loss of communication and contact we are so used to. As a society we are using technology more to demonstrate our thoughts and feelings and certain signals/thoughts/emotions may be lost in translation through technology.
Using technology to communicate has changed the world, how we see it and how it sees us. Social media platforms offer an array of beautifying filters to enhance our looks and bring us closer to the perfect expectations of millions of viewers. The image many choose to show the world is often edited and perfected to fit a mould we have all come to accept as normal. This work is to demonstrate the emotions that may go on behind that facade and how easily our senses can be deceived.
These images were created to bring awareness to three different topics, which are NHS and care workers and the hard jobs they do, body positivity and giving second life to old clothes. The reason why I chose these topics is because of how we need to appreciate the NHS and care workers more for how important they are to our society. Also with the body positivity, I wanted to show every generation that there isn't a set body type that you have to be and that every body type is beautiful. Then the reason why I choose to use the topic of giving second life to old clothes is because how it will help the environment if we reuse clothes that people don't want and repurpose clothes that we don't want and sell on.

After researching migration I discovered that problems do not always end for refugees when entering the UK . Sometimes they find themselves or their loved ones in one of the UKs immigration detention removal centres. This is what happened to the young woman whose story inspired me to create my art works.
He was waiting in arrivals at Heathrow, she was 24 years old this was the first time she had left her native country. Her passport carried the 'Family Reunion' stamp from the British Embassy which would allow her to rejoin her refugee husband in the UK. Six months later in Yarl's Wood Immigration Removal Centre, she had six 'episodes of acutely severe mental distress' involving self-harm. She was frequently in isolation or handcuffed to prevent her self-harming.
The High Court found that she had been detained unlawfully for almost eleven months
Over the years men and women have transitioned into wearing clothes that were stereotypically thought of as mens or womenswear. I wanted to create this magazine cover to show that men and women can wear anything they feel comfortable in.
Many years ago, it was known that men had to stick to suits and women had to stick to dresses and skirts, which is now a stereotype that is starting to break.
I wanted to make my final piece look very sleek and minimalistic, which I feel I achieved.
For this project I wanted to improve my animation skills and I aimed to also create portfolio work as well. For this project, I was inspired by action movies of the 90s and I added a sci-fi twist to it. This scene acts as a prologue to a larger film.
War and peace has been an inevitable transitionary state throughout the history of mankind. These link print artworks are inspired by the pain and the hope represented by the poppy fields in Flanders with the poppy representative of the destructive nature of humans and the seed the representation of the transition to rebirth and a new chance for hope.

Attempting to mimic the isolation displayed by this subject, the symbol laden figure is placed centrally with areas of negative space surrounding, the artificiality of many of my aesthetic choices exacerbate its uncanny nature, along with the self-aware symbols of movement that defy the dynamics of the scene. I was particularly interested in exaggerating my palette in the areas which are tonally nuanced, as my inspiration for this painting was the work of George Bellows, particularly his boxing paintings.
Punch-in. 210 x 297mm. oil on canvas. 2021.
This piece is intended to evoke recognisable shapes from the collective subconscious, the abstractions are solid in form, as if from a dream, the function of this very definite object is vague. The symbolic connotations of corporatism match the reserved attitudes of the 1950's, which is where the primary aesthetic of this object has originated.

This painting attempts to subvert normal depictions of a space by intentionally misinterpreting the physics and the layering of objects, contrary to their expected placement in the scene and in frame.
I want to portray a fantasy style hero's journey in a series of watercolour paintings. In able to represent the force of transition within this journey, the tone and landscape of each painting will transition from the themes revolving around The Hero's Journey's Ordinary and Special worlds.
I wanted to use my own personal experiences growing up as a young artist to understand how I could educate society on the stigma around the creative arts. After understanding the value of self reflection it helped me deep dive and analyze my experiences to help see why perhaps so many artists tend to feel isolated and ashamed to want to study and pursue in the arts. After I figured how the negative comments shape myself and many others feeling this way I wanted to try and educate people on how this negative view on art as a career can actually make aspiring artists quit their passion as it is drummed into us it is unrealistic which could even lead to introverted behaviours. So I made an Instagram campaign post to raise awareness covering this topic. To think that over 30% of the worlds jobs are within the creative arts and we still have to deal with comments like "it isn't a real job" is dreadful and needs to change. Society is the biggest killer of artists.
The mixture of digital and traditional art to create in a style of the pre digital era that will stand time despite changing current trends. The use of halftone and handmade textured paper layers made from real paper, enhance the effect of the traditional style.

I decided to do my final outcomes as a series of posters on mental health. I have also created mockups on photoshop to showcase how I would have exhibited these posters as well as how I would have reached my target audience.
We all experience mental health, whether it's good or bad. We transition from one head space to another. Especially during this challenging time due to covid, we should all be aware that help is out there for us to access and that we are not alone
A sample from a collection of pages, using the transition of light through surfaces.
Personal growth allows you to develop the skills and discipline to all that's possible. Sometimes making successful changes in your practice requires making changes in yourself as well. I have created an illustration piece that represents personal growth of an individual through a plant growing in someone's hands. I think this is a great way to show personal growth as a plant growing can represent a fresh new start and progress in becoming a better, more skilled and stronger person.
A series of collages reflecting a transition of time using snapshots of events throughout my day.
"Looking Out" is a piece that I created around looking out the window. It is set around lockdown and not being able to go out, the perspective of someone looking out and noticing the changes while they acknowledge the changes in the world as they spectate.
Fast Fashion to Sustainable fashion has been an arising issue since big brands such as primark , boohoo and missguided launched. There needs to be a transition out of fast fashion if we have any chance left of protecting and saving the environment.
Within my pieces the main message has been to reduce , recycle and reuse when it came to making my fashion garments. I reduced the use of fast fashion from not buying and supporting the companies , recycled old unwanted materials and reused old garments to paint on creating my protest pieces. I needed this message to be bold within my work and was inspired by Phoebe English's nothing new collection when it came to creating. Using old family and friends clothes and reusing them represented a way to end fast fashion and if more people every day took a step in this direction it could be done.
I wanted my garments to look very rough around the edges and handmade. This then represents the message in a different way showing that creating your own clothing can also end fast fashion and anybody can give it a go. The protest pieces are loud , bold and unique as painted jackets are on trend. I thought I'd create my own. Researching into fast fashion protests gave me an insight into the anger surrounding the issue. So I captured this in strong messages and big bold red lettering on my garments.
Morpho and Friends is about a group of plasticine characters coming to life and finding out they are alive. This was all animated spontaneously, so there is no actual plot or summary to the storyline. It is just characters walking around and doing either nothing or just doing small things, such as presenting slapstick humour.
Some of the characters were either based on the robot characters from Portal 2, tribbles from Star Trek, skutters from Red Dwarf, Catdog, American TV show Big Mouth, James Huson's merry Christmas claymation and many other projects. I chose to do this, because they are my favourite kinds of TV shows, movies, video games, books and others, either as an adult now or when I was a child.
One of the characters is called Morpho. He is the orange shape-shifting character and he is based on British plasticine model Morph. Morpho has the ability to shape-shift into different shapes and sizes. He is also the main protagonist of the entire group, hence the title, Morpho and Friends.
I was trying to create an animation for young adults and older children, to expand on my audience range, because I sometimes have ideas just for young adults or older, but I was also trying to show I can have ideas both for adults and children, even if they are separate.
I hope you enjoy and/or enjoyed this project.
I also have a YouTube channel for animations and videos, where I create my own sort of shows, pilots, movies or drafts. I have a lot of past projects I did in college when I was working in Media and Art.

I also have another YouTube channel, where in the Comments, I create paragraphs called "In A Nutshells", where I use funny words and bad grammar to humourise any plot line of any movie, show, video game, book or other.

Creating work on the theme of TRANSITION these young artists have explored a new found reinvention of self within local, wider and global communities.
In this unique year artists have been unable to exhibit and share work in a physical space. One of the greatest challenges that the creative industries and artists have had to cope with during the pandemic is how to reach an audience. This means being adaptable and changing how we think and approach reaching them.

When comparing intellectual property and physical property, we have to keep in mind that while intellectual property is a creation of the mind, such as inventions and literary works, and physical property is more tangible like an object, they are both properties that we can own. There's no reason to provide less protection for intellectual properties just because we cannot physically own it. In fact, intellectual property should be afforded equal if not more protection than physical property from how valuable ideas and innovations are.
One protection that we have in place for intellectual property is patents. They are definitely necessary to have for society because we need a way to incentivize and reward people for their innovative ideas. If we did not have them in place, others could steal people's ideas, which could hurt the person who came up with the idea and discourage people from coming up with new ideas. So in that sense, patents are beneficial for providing protection towards innovation, but there are still issues that need to be dealt with the patent system. One such issue is the existence of patent trolls, who abuse the patent system by targeting companies that in the patent trolls' perspective are violating one or more of their many ambiguous patents. In order to deal with the disruption the patent trolls are causing, patents should be very specific in the invention that it is protecting, meaning that it should not overlap with inventions that have already been made and be very explicit in the details that make the idea warrant the patent. Furthermore, to prevent the patent trolls from collecting several patents to threaten vulnerable companies, having some kind of regulation that ensures that any buyers of patents must have a legitimate reason for acquiring one should be met.
Although we have a few intellectual property laws in place in society already, such as copyrights, people find ways to game the system through illegal means, like pirating. Of course, pirating copyrighted material is unethical, but if a consumer already purchased a copy of one but lost the copy somehow, then perhaps it would be justified to re-download the material rather than having to rebuy it again. In most cases, however, we should avoid having to pirate copyrighted works. Even if users want to "sample" or "test" copyrighted material, it does not justify pirating because it is difficult to determine whether the user is actually just trying out the material or intends to use the full version. In fact, we should stay away from pirating as it not only hurts the company producing the copyrighted material but also injures innovation since companies would be less inclined to produce quality products if users are not bringing in revenue for their copyrighted materials.
Currently, the laws that we have in place for intellectual property is sufficient to maintain innovation, but there are loopholes within the system that still need to be fixed. With stricter regulation on intellectual property, individuals and companies that we depend on to deliver useful products and services can thrive with better regulation and further improve the quality of innovation for society.

Negative Amortization
Mortgage Dictionary -> Negative Amortization
It seems hard to believe, but in some cases, the monthly payment on a bill may be such that it does not even take care of the interest that accrues monthly. If you've ever heard anything about negative amortization, then you probably understand this concept quite well. However, whether you do or you don't understand negative amortization, you'll want to read on.
What is Negative Amortization
Negative amortization is actually a rather rare occurrence in the repayment of loans, but it occurs nonetheless. When a loan payment for a particular period is less than the interest that has accrued during this same period, the balance grows rather than decreases. Anytime a balance grows after a payment rather than decreases, this is considered to be negative amortization.
Two Reasons Why Negative Amortization Occurs
1. Low Initial Payments. Particularly in the case of Adjusted Rate Mortgages, lenders will offer payments that sometimes do not even cover interest from month to month. This is done so as to attract borrowers who cannot afford minimum payments at first, yet still want a mortgage.
2. Mistake on Payments. In very rare cases, the lender screws up something in the contract and tells you to send in a payment that does not cover even the interest. Usually, this type of negative amortization is caught rather quickly and is corrected, but if neither party notices, it can go on.
Why is Negative Amortization a Bad Thing?
There are actually many reasons why negative amortization is a bad thing. The first is that it keeps you from repaying the loan and can add many years to the life of a loan. If you're hoping, for instance, to pay a mortgage off in 30 years, you might not like how negative amortization extends this to 35 years or more, depending on it.
The second is that it results in a higher amount of interest charges. No one likes paying back not only the loan money itself, but extra money to the lender, so most try to avoid extra interest charges at all costs. Negative amortization makes it difficult to avoid these interest charges.

With the increasing popularity and growing trend of e-bikes, bicycle system suppliers have set goals to optimise the power and performance of their drive systems. In order to support the driver in the best possible way, sensors are used to deliver the required data and thus adapt the engine's power support to the total speed.
The bicycle market is booming – whether with an electric drive or without. This is shown by a current study by the online portal Statista: 44% of the people surveyed in Germany get on the saddle at least a few times a week. The trend is clearly towards e-bikes with their highly technical drive systems. In particular, the central engine has established itself as an all-rounder among the different engine systems due to its well-balanced driving characteristics. The responsiveness of the engine needs to be optimised continuously to the environment and impact of driver`s riding behaviour. This can be realised with torque, inclination and speed sensors. The latter supplies the engine control unit with real-time data in order to support the driver depending on a specific riding situation. The speed sensor is needed to monitor the speed and to shut down the engine at a maximum speed of 25km/h for Pedelecs and 40km/h for S-Pedelecs. In addition, the speed and torque sensor has the task to adjust the power output of the engine according to the riding speed and pedal force.
Speed sensors for central engines
So far, two sensor technologies for speed measurement have become established in the e-bike industry. These are Reed and Hall technologies. Both sensor types are mounted on the bicycle frame of the rear wheel in order to measure the rotational speed.
Reed switches can be found in various industries and applications. The advantage is obvious: they are inexpensive and easy to operate. In addition, they don't need any additional energy source and the hermetic sealing enables the switch to become resistance against dust particles, oil and moisture. The reed switch in combination with an external magnet is the most common e-bike speed measurement system at the moment. The system shows high simplicity. A permanent magnet is mounted on a spoke on the rear wheel of the e-bike. The magnet passes the opposite reed switch per wheel revolution. The switch is attached on the bicycle frame and transmits an electrical signal via cable as soon as the magnet closes its circuit. The control unit in the engine recalculates the speed per wheel revolution.
In contrast to the reed switch, the Hall sensor requires a continuous current from an external power source, due to its physical principle. Therefore, Hall sensors can be categorised as active sensors since they need integrated electronics for signal processing. The advantages of Hall sensors are their compactness and reliability. They are immune to shocks up to 35g as well as to dirt and moisture. There are no moving parts inside the sensor so wear and friction can be avoided. This leads to an almost unlimited lifetime.
In contrast to the reed switch, the ZF Hall sensor is aimed directly at a speed disk instead of targeting an external magnet. This disc can be fixed either next to the brake disc, or the brake disc is modified and targeted directly. The angle of rotation and the air gap between sensor and disc needs to be coordinated. The disc needs to be made of ferromagnetic material with periodical arranged slots. In this way, a change of the magnetic field can be registered by the sensor which finally transmits electrical signals via cables to the control unit. The provision and the design of the speed disc are defined by the respective engine manufacturer itself based on specific layout requirements and level of resolution. By selecting an additional speed disc, this needs to be attached to the chain bearing next to the brake disc and only a few millimetres opposite to the Hall sensor. If the brake disc is targeted directly, it must also have periodical slots for triggering the signal.
The complete system of Hall sensor and disc offers significant advantages in terms of functional safety, improved manipulation resistance and responsiveness of the e-bike engine compared to the conventional system reed switch with an external magnet.
Functional safety
The improved functional safety can be attributed on the one hand to the characteristics of the Hall sensor and, on the other hand, to the overall system. The sensor operates completely wear-free and is immune to dirt and vibration. As a result, the sensor application is ideal for off-road riding and uneven ground. In addition, both the speed sensor and the speed disc are solidly integrated into the bicycle frame and wheel axle so that the speed can be measured reliably. External spoke magnets in conventional systems, however, are more susceptible to drift away from their original position which negatively affects the speed measurement.
Responsiveness of the engine
The main advantage and unique selling proposition of this speed system is the high resolution of speed measurement. In contrast to a reed switch which only sends out one signal per revolution, the Hall sensor with speed disc generates up to 30 or more. The number depends on the design of the disc and the requirements for the desired resolution. The sensor detects the slots in the disc and sends a signal per slot. Thus, the engine reacts much faster to speed changes and supports the driver more dynamically. Especially for hill starts or at low speeds, the sensor can detect slight accelerations and make the engine respond quicker. This results in improved inter-coordinated assistance.
Increased manipulation resistance
Looking at the accident statistics and comparing the years 2014 and 2017, one finding is that the number of injured and killed e-bike riders in Germany more than doubled from 2,213 to 5,115. According to estimations, every third e-bike in Germany is tuned up to increase the speed limit. Consequently, inexperienced drivers are facing longer braking distances and are overburdened in uphill and downhill as well as turning actions. The number of accidents continues to increase. The members of the German consortium "Fahrradwirtschaft" (AGF) deliberately take a stand against any kind of manipulation of e-bike drive systems in the international bicycle industry. The aim is to continuously work on drive systems to prevent manipulation.
To increase the speed limit, there are different approaches. One possibility is to filter every second sensor signal by attaching a tuning chip to the chainstay. This allows a doubling of the programmed motor assistance. Another alternative is tapping the sensor signal at another position. The most common one is the screw connection between pedal and pedal crank. In the conventional system, the external magnet on the spoke is removed and replaced by a magnetic screw on the pedal. The reed sensor is realigned and reacts to the magnetic field of the screw. The number of revolutions of the pedal is less than the ones of the wheel. As a result, fewer signals are transmitted to the control unit which in turn calculates a lower speed than the real value. The engine continues to support, although the maximum allowed speed has already been exceeded. This type of manipulation can be prevented with the Hall sensor in conjunction with speed disc.
Trend ABS
In addition to the numerous innovations in the areas of connectivity and electric drive engines in e-bikes, the ABS system also has an increasing significance in the market. The Hall sensor with an additional speed disk or modified brake disk is a preferred solution for this application. The high resolution makes it possible to accurately measure speed changes on both the front and rear wheel during brake application. The ABS control unit can decelerate the wheels due to the created speed values in a coordinated and controlled manner. In this way, a lift-off or rollover of the driver can be avoided during emergency braking. Due to increasing traffic in cities, emergency braking becomes more and more frequent. As a result, the need and demand for ABS systems increase, especially for city e-bikes, to ensure safe cycling in cities.

World War II in Catanduanes (Third of Four Parts)
The people of Catanduanes suffered not only from Japanese occupation, but also from the guerillas supposed to protect them. Such is the evil of war. But the guerillas would famously redeem themselves from such ignominious deeds, which to be sure were committed by a small minority. The next article of this series will tackle the glorious undertaking by local patriots, the Liberation of Catanduanes.

A Community Approach to Conferences
Ask any teacher their thoughts on conferences and you'll likely get a mixed response (even from just one individual). Conferences can be exhausting. Aside from the longer days as teachers stay after school to meet family, they can be mentally and emotionally tiring too. However, we learn so much about our students and their families, … Continue reading A Community Approach to Conferences

The Marlins signed Armando Benitez to a minor league contract.
The never-ending search for inexpensive relief help has brought the Marlins back to.......Armando Benitez.
The Marlins re-discovered Benitez in the independent Atlantic League. In 17 games for the Newark Bears, Benitez had an ERA of 1.00, striking out 27 and walking four in 18 innings. He had six saves.
Didn't the Marlins try this in 2007 and the results just stunk? One of the definitions of insanity is trying do the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Given that the front office has him getting ready to take over a slot in the Marlins pen, expect to see him in the future wearing a Marlins uniform. Granted, the bullpen needs middle relief help, but this is no way to go. Benitez hasn't pitched in the Major Leagues in about two years, and when he did, he sucked.
It is official now, the Marlins front office has gone insane.

AMD's Ryzen 5000 (Vermeer) processors aren't officially supported on AMD 300-series motherboards. However, motherboard manufacturers, including Asus and Gigabyte have deployed new firmwares for A320 motherboards to support the Zen 3 chips, some of the best CPUs for gaming that you can buy today.
Some users have gotten Zen 3 to work on X370 motherboards through the usage of bootleg firmwares. The problem with modified firmwares is that there is no guarantee of full system stability, and on many occasions, the firmwares are only available for a select number of models from a certain vendor. Official Zen 3 support on the A320 chipset opens the door for motherboard owners to upgrade to AMD's latest and greatest processors. More importantly, consumers can sleep better at night knowing that they're not running firmware that they downloaded from the Internet that has been altered by unknown entities.
Now that Asus and Gigabyte have released the first firmwares for A320 motherboards, we suspect that other brands will likely follow suit. Whether they have AMD's blessing to do so is another story. We've reached out to the chipmaker to inquire whether the company has changed its stance on Zen 3 and 300-series motherboards.
The AM4 socket is one of the most long-lived sockets on the market that houses multiple generations of AMD processors. A320 motherboards typically come with very limited capacity BIOS chips. Manufacturers have to drop support for some of the older Ryzen parts in order to usher in support for Zen 3. For example, the Asus and Gigabyte removed support for AMDs 7th Generation A-series and Athlon X4 series (Bristol Ridge) processors.
The compromise of not having support for five-year-old processors is one that many A320 owners should be able to live with. Once you go Zen 3, the odds are that you're never looking back.

text: 10.05.21 Multiple Labelling: Tried & Tested for Every Laboratory Elizabeth Salmon , Technical Inside Sales Joint webinar:- Wednesday 9th June 16.00 BST Register now! The need to get as much information from every tissue section to further our understanding of tissues and cells is crucial. Some multiplexing systems claim many targets can be stained per section, but in reality they still have several limitations. These include the availability of targets to stain and the complexity of methods requiring IHC outsourcing - making it time consuming and costly. Where smaller numbers of targets need to be imaged, many laboratories may have the resources to stain sections with 2-3 labels already, but do not have the confidence to multiple label in house. Why select validated antibodies - advantages of the HistoSure™ Range HistoSure™ validation How to select combinations of primary antibodies for multiple labelling. Considerations for multiple labelling Enzyme systems and substrate choice Detection reagents Counterstaining (or not) 2BScientific have teamed up with 2 of our suppliers to bring you this webinar discussing IHC multiple labelling with enzymatic ABC or polymer kits, and to help you expand your IHC applications. Synaptic Systems are a manufacturer and supplier of primary antibodies, who utilise the Vector Laboratories reagents in house for quality control purposes. Their HistoSure™ range of primary antibodies offer excellent and reliable results. Christel Bonnas is currently Director of the HistoSure™ brand at Synaptic Systems. Prior to joining Synaptic Systems, Christel obtained a Ph.D. in Medical Neurosciences from the Charité University Medicine Berlin, Germany. For her discovery and characterisation of unknown isoforms of erythropoietin she was honoured with the PhD thesis award of the BGW, Berlin, Germany. Subsequently, Christel joined the Roche Postdoc Fellowship Programme, where she developed Multiplex IHC-P assays to support the drug development process in cancer research in the Translational Research Sciences Histopathology group at Roche, Penzberg, Germany. Before joining Synaptic Systems in 2015, Christel worked as Project Coordinator at Epomedics GmbH in the preclinical development of erythropoietin variants. In her role as Director of the HistoSure™ brand she is responsible for the HistoSure™ product portfolio. Vector Laboratories have been manufacturing reagents for Immunohistochemistry for over 40 years and their reputation for reliability and reproducibility has made them the 'go to' reagents for many laboratories. Developed and manufactured in house, the VECTASTAIN® and ImmPRESS® reagents are well cited with thousands of references. Craig Pow is currently Director of Technical Services at Vector Laboratories. Prior to joining Vector Labs, Craig obtained a Ph.D. in Physiology from the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, where he first learnt histological techniques studying reproductive biology in bats. Subsequently, Craig undertook post-doctoral studies at the California Primate Research Center, that involved examining cellular migration and differentiation using tissue-based staining methods in early post-implantation primate embryos. In his role at Vector Laboratories, he leverages his deep technical expertise to help researchers optimise and troubleshoot their experiments. 2BScientific are proud to represent both companies for supply and distribution in the UK and Ireland. Aiming to support life science research in a sustainable way for a better world. Liz Salmon graduated from Newcastle University with a BSc in Medical Microbiology and went on to Vector Laboratories' Technical Services in the UK for over 20 years, in a parallel role supported by Dr Pow. She joined the 2BScientific team in 2020, offering technical support and product management, and is always happy to help. There will be a Q & A session at the end of this webinar. A recording will be made available after the event. Register now! Share Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on LinkedIn Share on Pinterest
