The Squeezed Middle.

A legacy item.

(*Dec 2013)
Thanks for that
especially this sentence:
"Claims last week that children from poorer backgrounds are to be given priority at a great many grammars comes as yet another setback. But it is one the Squeezed Middle will, as is their wont, find a way to cope with."
Is this like when the Daily Mail have a go at people on benefits
But in reverse land?
maybe they should move somewhere more in their price range.
and how they fuck is 120k the middle? that's about 4 or 5 times more than the middle.
"maybe they should move somewhere more in their price range."
Is this the same for people on minimum wage who want to live in zone 2?
*Is this the same for people on minimum wage who have lived for all their lives in zone 2
and who can't afford to travel to work and who the economy needs to function?
No, it's not.
In fairness to the poor dears
his meagre £120K isn't enough to put him in the top decile for a two adult + two children family.
But it does put him very firmly in the top 20% of similar households. If the middle is everything from (presumably) the second lowest 10% of incomes up to the second highest 10% then perhaps it needs a bit more squeezing.

"I earn more than most and feel like I'm struggling, the housing association family three doors down have a better quality of life than me, which i'm paying for."

what does this mean
"But the trickle-down economics central to wealth creation is only effective if benefits accrue to every stratum of society."
I love it when you weave in and out of a thread
sowing confusion and doubt. It's genius.
You're really struggling with this one, aren't you?
It's okay, you're allowed to say that the family in the article are entitled, divorced-from-reality jerks.
then I turn around...
and he's gone!
What benefits?
I don't think you've read the article, have you?
It's referring to benefits in the broad term, not as a welfare payment.
"I don't think you've read the article, have you?"
Need you ask?
From each according to their ability, to each according to their need innit
Don't think everyone NEEDS private schooling, etc
It means when you're at the top and piss downwards
you want enough of it to trickle onto the heads of those below you. Simply not enough of his piss is getting in everyone's mouths
no not enough piss from above is going into HIS mouth
is what he's saying. He probably thinks loads of his piss is getting into mouths below him.
I need a piss now.
As if I read the article
These threads are much more fun when you don't
Ha! I haven't read it either.
So we're both commenting on an article we haven't read.
Weird how the 'trickle down' concept has stuck around when society is obviously built on a trickle up model
Do you think that paying £45K a year on school fees might be the problem?
I do like the way they use the term 'basic salary' which means that we're led to believe that he doesn't get a bonus, and the fact that the possibility that his wife might earn is hilariously dismissed, but I mean, his take home pay would be c.£73K after tax. Imagine spending over 60% of your take home wage on your two sons private education.badmanreturns, monoshono, and umlaut_ampersand this'd this
Yeah but that only leaves 28,000 to spend on other stuff.
£2300 a month. After tax.
What a thunderscrote.
it isn't
i'm guessing he's got quite a big mortgage and stuff, so probably not a huge amount of disposable income. Obviously most of the problem is the ridiculous amount he's spending on schooling, but still.chris-budget this'd this
The middle class are known for their financial nous, but are also identifiable by their unwavering determination to buy things they don't have the money for?
I always assumed the 'squeezed middle' consisted primarily of people on average and slightly above average wages who were finding that wasn't enough for average comfort any more, not John D. Rockefellers who have to limit themselves to three broken monocles a week.
They've had to sack off their Ocado deliveries you monster.
Show some fucking sympathy.umlaut_ampersand this'd this
Hey, their cowardly retreat from high-end consumer spending
is fucking with GDP, which in term is fucking with me. I'm PAYING for them to sack off their Ocado deliveries.
^ He's right.
Once the reservoirs of the PPI claimants have run dry we're all absolutely FUCKED.
Haven't read the article
but I agree with the concept.
Myself and my thinly veiled are both from working class families. We both earn ok these days. Still can't afford to buy a house and don't qualify for help-to-buy as earn "too much".
Not crying into my craft beer, but there is a concept of a squeezed middle.
I also used to moan about this when I was much poorer too. When I was a single man in London, the price hikes on public transport screwed me. But families got a break as they're children got to travel for free.
So there is a squeezed / forgotten middle.
Still haven't read the article.
nobody has said there isn't a squeezed middle.
I suspect the gripe is with who is being portrayed as the squeezed middle. Dunno though as I, also, definitely haven't read the articlebadmanreturns and moker this'd this
The jist of the article is worth reporting I think.
Think it's significant that all families (even very wealthy ones) seemingly have less disposable income these days which makes the future (and their children's future) look a lot bleaker.
To frame it in terms of `the squeezed middle` though is pretty offensive in my view. For reasons DK nails more entertainingly above.
Also there's a debate as to whether or not there's a squeezed middle at all, but don't want to get into that.
- zxcvbnm- this'd this
I wish all these bellends would stop claiming to be middle class
*I'm* middle class. Teacher parents, comprehensive school, camping holidays in France, hummous etc. All these posh people are desperate to get in on the middle class action for some reason. They need a different name.plasticniki, NickDS, moker, and DaisyFlower this'd this
there's a few names in this thread that work
"thunderscrote class" will do nicely.
Are you trolling here?
I'd say that £120k for a family income for two adults and two children is definitely middle class (in terms of financial wealth at least). It's hardly the upper echelons.
nope, that's genuinely a ludicrously high amount of money to me
I guess the directors at my work probably earn £60,000 and are still pretty middle class, but that guy earns £120,000 on his own! I reckon we need some extra stratas (is that the right word?) of middle classness.NickDS this'd this
Upper middle class
Would be a nice fitIchor this'd this
To add extra strata to the class structure based on income would be a mistake.
It's true that this chap might earn £120k on his own, but if no one else in his family works it's not that much for an entire family.
A family where the mother and father both work and earn £60k each isn't that out of the ordinary.
The median of the top decile of earnings for UK adults
is £60,500 per year according to the treasury. Which makes it absolutely, and inherently, `out of the ordinary`.colinzealuk this'd this
i would guess my parents earn 120k combined, possibly less
they have got fucking loads of money.Royter-Hatfood this'd this
It's in the top 20% of family incomes for two adults and two children.
The median for the ninth decile is £91,100 (source HM Treasury - Busdget 2014).
Plus of course as the article states that's his income before bonuses and we don't know if his wife earns anything.
Not at all
Median pay in the UK is about £23,000, so if you earn more than £50k you are in the top 95% of the working population and in the top 1% of the global one. If you earn more than £100k, you are in the top 1% of the UK population and literally almost off the scale in the global context.
It's simply the gross inequality in this country that means the super rich dwarf this family in turn.
Nah nice_squirrel's right, there's no way £120 is middle
I'd say I'm middle class, decent education, went to university but only my dad worked, general office job, salary firmly in the national average (somewhere in the £20ks?) which meant we were certainly never rich or went on foreign holidays etc.
I'd say this lot are upper middle class at the very least and a world away from most peoples 'middle class' upbringing.kevbizarre and 1_234589 this'd this
but also, I felt well-off growing up
We had money for everything we wanted to do. And I feel well-off now! (earn £30k, my partner earns slightly more). That's why I find people like this to be so far from my idea of a middle class lifestyle.
Yeah, this.
Though my parents struggled at times (dad's a shipbuilder, my mum worked in factories but then had office jobs and stuff), but the time we were about 8 we had enough money to do everything we wanted, really.
Now my boyfriend and I have a joint income of far more than what my parents did but my life as a kid didn't feel working class in any way.

it's so embarrassing
However, while they are clearly not a good example of the 'middle' as most of us know it, and their expenditure seems frothy and alien to most sensible people, they quite clearly do feel that they are being affected by the economic situation. The amount they spend on school fees etc might seem ludicrous, but to them, the aalternativce would be to disrupt their children's academic lives, and having it made it a priority not to do that, they have decided instead to cut down on fripperies like eating out. It's not an unreasonable observatoin for them to make, based on their family life and their family's priorities. What on earth possessed them to talk to newspaper about it, however, is anybody's guess.
I for one have not read the article, obviously.
I can sympathise, on a human level, with the issues they outline. The seeming rising cost of living affects everyone and, when it comes at the expense of the dreams you have for your family, that can be draining and upsetting.
Their lack of self-awareness in spilling their supposed predicament across a national paper, which will doubtless be read by hundreds of thousands of people in worse positions than they are, is absolutely galling however.colinzealuk, PickledOeuf, and Hello_Sadness this'd this
I always enjoy news articles by people with names like 'Guy'
'I can't afford to keep on supporting them,' says Guy
Nothing against the name, Just because it sounds like really comically lazy journalism
also like this:
'Jobless Fella, from Callington, Cornwall'
Family wealth is always an important factor, not just personal income
Family wealth means you can buy a house or a half decent house, without years of saving for a 2 bed flat.
Family wealth means you can drive a car when you're 17 or 18 as you have a car bought for you and lessons paid for.
Family wealth means going to uni is an (easier) option.
Family wealth means you've been abroad on holidays, or - you've gone to a fee paying school so got a better education.
Family wealth means you can work in a shitty intern job in a good industry as you're parents subsidise you, rather than just taking the first job with an ok wage.
Family wealth means everything. If this guy earns £120k, good for him. But if he has a wife and two or three kids that don't work at all, he certainly starts to become a squeezed middle.
I know people who earn fuck all, but have a lifestyle and material goods (cars, houses, holidays) as if they earned 5 times what I earn. It's inherentence and family help. It counts for everything - and it also stops social mobility.
"Family wealth means everything. If this guy earns £120k, good for him. But if he has a wife and two or three kids that don't work at all, he certainly starts to become a squeezed middle."
Nope. Even if this is true they are still part of the top 20%.
And he has two kids.
Agreed it's still a lot of money
Totally. But the squeezed middle isn't about people being poor - It's about a group of people paying over the odds or getting taxed more in proportion to others.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing necessarily, I'm just saying £120k can mean you're in that bracket. Depends.
FFS the guy works in the city, lives in Farnham, spends £45K on school fees a year
and to top it all is called Guy and has a wood-burner in his kitchen.
Nobody's squeezing him, and he's not in the middle of anything except a social demographic named "entitled dickead".
He's squeezed in relation to farquar down the road
who works for a better bank, and has managed to funnel his earnings offshore, and that's all that matters to Guy right now.
he's squeezed in relation to his position a few years ago yeah?
so in 2010 his £120 k job gets him = private school education and ocado and some meals out
in 2014 his £120k job gets him = private school education and tescos and no meals out.
so yeha, he's squeezed in that respect - god knows why we need an article about it tho
but the 'top 20%'
doesn't take into account where you livein the country and therefore your cost of living. I earned more than 120k when i worked in London but I would have struggled to afford to support a spouse and private school kids.moker this'd this
Then you don't send your kids to private school.
It isn't a right (as you know with all your hotshot lawyer experience).
Anyone on £120K could afford to bring up two children comfortably within the outer London boundary, without having to sacrifice anything of significance.
"as you know
with all your hotshot lawyer experien ce" makes you sound like a rather pathetic and chippy little man. Embarrasssing. Stop it.
Of course private school isn't a right. I don't think they say it is? (sorry i haven't read the article). I think what they mean is that they are finding it a struggle now to do what they could do compfortably a few years ago. Is that what they mean? sorry i haven't read the article).
Regardless of whether that expenditure involves endless gak and whores (I for one would struggle to keep up my London levels of gak and whoring these days), a wardrobe full of red trousers, school fees, extravagant cars, or three holidays a year. They are feeling squeezed as compared to a standard of life that they once led comfortably. It's not that hard to understand, although of course, it's not exactly a tear jerker. (or is it? sorry i haven't read the article).
If you'd read the article, I don't think you'd be calling him chippy.
The article, and the interview that it's based around, are claiming that people in this 'squeezed middle' are suffering more than those at the bottom, and are fighting against a tide of unfair barriers.
Now, ignoring the fact that 'earning' £120Kp.a. (not including bonuses and not including his wife's wage, if she has one), pretty obviously does not make you part of the 'middle', it's the complete lack of self-awareness and empathy that really stands out in the article. The article seriously complains that grammar school entrance is going to be made less discriminatory, and that those on lower incomes are better able to cope with their change in circumstances because they're used to struggling.j0hn this'd this
`The article, and the interview that it's based around, are claiming that people in this 'squeezed middle' are suffering more than those at the bottom`
Where does the article claim that then?
Not only did I read it - I skimmed over the bit
marckee is doubtless referring to.
I expand on that in my second paragraph.
But if you haven't read the article, it's here: "the poorest are used to working to a budget. It is those in the middle that have seen the most painful drop in disposable income over the past five years."
I mean, seriously,
how can you write an article, or even think that, and not be an utter raging thundercunt?
Yeah the journalist is clearly a touch deranged to write that (very loosely sourced too).
Will follow her on twitter for larks.
Yep - found that on re-reading after missing it first time bizarrely.
`The poorest are used to working to a budget` is offensive.
Probably pretty true
in which case maybe Guy is feeling the squeeze more than his Housing Associatoin neighbours. The fact that Guy's idea of a 'squeeze' is so far off the 'breadline' that poorer people are up against is of course what people are getting annoyed about and rightly so. But that doesn't take away from the fact that he feels a squeeze and he feels it acutely.
That line was written by the journo
it wasn't said by £120k Guy. She's making a wider point rather than focussing on Guy. Might be true in his instance, who knows, but I doubt it's true as a whole.
Where's this 'Housing Association neighbours' thing come from?
It's nowhere in the article.
And I'm sorry, but what your saying is rubbish and, frankly, a bit offensive. The group least negatively affected by the changes to the economy since 2008, and in particular since 2010 are those in his income bracket - seeing the smallest rises in tax as a percentage of income, experiencing a rate of inflation below that of those on lower income groups, and a rate of increase in income above that experienced by those lower down.
I haven't read the article
(obvs) so I thought Guy had said this and was wonderiong whether he maybe genuinely believed taht he was feeling it more because he will see the, perhapd hundreds of pounds, that 'poor' people are worse off as nothign compared to thousands that he is worse off. What he won't realise ios that teh comparison is not linear and a hundred pound loss to one person can ahve a far more prfound and tragic effect than a ten thousand to another. It's about his percption of where they are being hit. I'm not going to read the article now though.
Only just seen this.
Sorry, the hotshot lawyer comment was just a light-hearted joke. Didn't mean to cause offence. Apologies for the tone.
I'm sorry too
It did come across a bit wrong to me, but I am right touchy today and have been a bit of a dick as this thread has gone on. (you still can't make me read the article.)
Still perpetually misunderstood
I'm a left wing, libertarian, working class hero who believes elites, that exist everywhere, ruin the world.
But whateves. Up the Farage.
you openly refer to yourself as a libertarian
but when someone compares you to Ayn Rand you get shirty and start implying they're calling you a racist opportunist?
yeah this reaction confused me as well
i always thought Ayn Rand was like libertarian number 1
I'm just presuming he doesn't get the connotations of describing yourself as a libertarian
or doesn't know who Ayn Rand is
No seriously, I can see the confusion in "libertarian". You can be left and a libertarian. I've had arguments like this before. If you really care, here goes: Basically, I believe in complete person freedom that seems to be missing from most politics. Right wing dicks will say that gay marriage is wrong as it undermines the church and hetro marriage. I say, for example, it doesn't and religion should not constrain anyone's life.
However left wing constraints also exist, economically, in terms of state intervention for health or how you should live. But I err more to this side in terms of taxation of the more wealthy to fund the vulnerable. Fucking hell, pretty difficult to explain this in a soundbite. Can't really explain properly. Perhaps I'm thick.
Well, think what you want, everyone does anyway baby. *plays slap bass*
Use the word "liberal", it means what I think you think "libertarian" means
and people won't ask you any more questions about it.brusma this'd this

He ain't middle class
his wife's called Shazza
I spotted that too.
Also we'd have to mark him down a social class or two if they have another kid and call it Dick to go with Tom and Harry.
The inverse snobbery
masquerading as snobbery is worse than anything else on this thread on in that article that I haven't read.
Look you specky twat
oh I forgot what I was about to say. oh yeah, straight up snobbery is fine. that was it. :) x
Me too. And personally I'd sneakily admire someone who calls their kids Tom Dick and Harry
Especially if they actually named Dick Dick and not Richard.
But there's nothing snobbish about laughing at people who bankrupt themselves sending their kids to private school. That's just straight up funny.
telegraph are pretty late to clickbait tbf
What with this and that Mirror bollocks in the footy thread it looks like people are trying to make up ground on the Mail.
they've missed a trick there
not having a comments section
45k seems aLOT of spend on school fees
i hope his kids decide to become noise musicians or something
My parents earn like £42,000 between them
and we go out for meals all the time.
Also it's so weird, like obviously I come from a family of below average earners, but I've always considered myself (lower) middle class- I had working class grandparents who certainly lived in different circumstances to me. It's just so strange that one person can earn literally three times what both my parents earn, and still supposedly be from the same class background as me!
Before anyone say "class is irrelevant wah wah"- it's massively relevant, just the old ways of defining certain class backgrounds isn't. That BBC class survey thing from last year was very interesting in that respect.
in what ways is it relevant?
i'm not convinced it is really
in any meaningful way
I think a better question is
in what way is class irrelevant? In a society where people accumulate cultural capital depending on where they shop, what food they eat, where their kids go to school, where they went to uni, what sort of hobbies and pastimes they have; where the vast majority of those wielding the power in politics and the media are privately or grammar school educated, despite only 7% of the population attending such schools; where people with jobs and interests deemed inferior are constantly patronised and demonised by both sides of the political spectrum; where families are forced out of the areas that they've lived for their entire lives because young, wealthy white people have opened some cool bars and cafes and shops for other young wealthy white people etc etc etc- how is class irrelevant in any of these situations?
There is not, and will never be, such a thing as a classless society.marckee this'd this
there's a bit too much stuff there for me to wade into properly
but i'd argue that wealth is the overriding factor in most of those issues - not class
The two are products of each other.
They're practically indivisible, even if they're not completely the same.calumlynn this'd this
i'm not having that
Yes, this exactly
I'd argue that class is the sum total of various amounts of capital- economic, social, cultural and political.marckee this'd this
if you take away the cash bit tho
what you're left with isn't really THAT useful, so the idea of class isn't all that relevant imo
I'm going to have to say it:
Check your privilege.
Don't assume that something isn't important or relevant just because you've not personally noticed it having an effect on you.
thanks marckee
don't think i'm actually doing that, but thanks anyway for the tip
are you saying you can't have a low income and be upper class?
Or at least appear to be of a different class to other people of the same income?
Some of the upper classes
or aristocracy, as that's what they are by definition, are quite hard up. Sounds ludicrous but they're left with massive manors and 30 bedroom houses to maintain that's been in the family for generations and have to work out how to maintain them no no-one works on the land and they've lost their general purpose.
Then again, a lot own great wacks of land so get rent and crops and alike from that, so it all works out nicely. But aristocracy doesn't mean cash rich necessarily.
Not sure who I'm talking to here.
Have you seen People by Alan Bennett?
It's a play about precisely this.
i'm not sure
i think they are of the opinion that class and money are more closely linked than i think.
No, we're not.
We're saying that class is still important and that someone's wealth or income isn't the only factor that determines their lifestyle or existence.
I'm sure it's been said with far more rage further up
but just to summarise without reading the article. Squeezed? Perhaps. Middle? Most certainly not.
Middle definately
What else would they be? Can't be upper. That's aristocracy.
Even Kate Middleton's family is middle class. Technically. (She's not herself now though).
doesn't squeezed middle refer to middle-income earners?
not middle class?justanothersheeldz this'd this
Ah maybe
If so, please disregard almost everything I've said in this thread.
Or perhaps everything ever, up to this post.
oh now that's an interesting point
I had never considered that before. Always assumed that it meant middle class. Obviously 'middle earners' is a much narrower bracket (and one which the family in the article don't fit in to).
just looked it up a bit more
and it looks like it's a pretty ambiguous term really, being employed in both uses.
so... dunno
The journalist is referring to middle class
Mentions it multiple times in the article.
I know people who earn £12k and eat at restaurants 3 or 4 times a week.
Admittedly they're not London restaurants...but they're not chippies or McD's either.
Sending your kids to private school with annual fees greater than 10k is what crosses the line
from middle-class to upper-middle class, in my opinion.
I've always considered myself middle-class. My parents earn £25,000 between them, and I have quite a comfortable life in their detached house in the countryside. I think me being their only child and us living in near-isolation is one of the reasons why we cope better financially and live in a nicer house and than other families earning a similar amount. :/
I don't really believe the class system exists, tbh, or at least think the boundaries have been blurred so much between working and middle class that they're one big lump...but i know of 18-year-olds who work in sales jobs and pull £25k. Not doubting your story or owt, i'm sure lot of people live comfortably in the nicer parts of Britain not needing huge amounts of money to get by, but i do wonder how they paid their houses off.
We are guilty in that a little bit of pre-existing wealth is involved...
I don't think the social classes are as distinctive as they were decades ago, but there are still some people who reek of them. But yeah, I think most people now are just upper-lower-middle class.
We're also pretty frugal, but you have to be if you're not rich and live somewhere nice-ish.
It just means we haven't got Sky, or ever buy that nice brand of toilet paper.
do you mean £25,000 each?
£25,000 between them would be like, 12k each which is way below average (which is 26k supposedly), I don't think anyone could get a detached house in the country earning that.. unless by 'countryside' you mean abandoned wasteland near Middlesborough.
no, £25,000 between us
I live in a 3-bedroom detached house which in a relatively remote village with a small population. The house itself isn't THAT nice or huge or anything but it's quite good for 3 people, a bit nicer than what you'd find in suburbia under our budget. And my granddad was a banker so a bit of pre-existing wealth is involved. We moved there quite a while a go, mind. Not sure whether or not that makes much of a difference, probably does.
well that's fair enough
plus, if you go to uni you'll get a huge grant! I already get quite a bit of grant money, and my parents earn about 15k more than yours I think, so you should be sorted (unless they take the savings into account).
£3.4k a year if your household income is under 25,000
I also get a bursary of £2k, but that might change next year.
yeah I get that and a bursary.
Although my mum might be getting a proper job soon, so I might get less next year :/

This bundle includes our popular Metal source material library and ALL future derived sound design libraries from Metal Hits, Scrapes & Squeaks. The first derived library is Metal Souls.
The Metal Forge ensemble included is a simplified version of our Forge ensemble. It comes pre-loaded with various Metal samples for the ability to quickly create new sounds from the provided material.
Metal Souls
I spent a great deal of time exploring pitch manipulation with this library. Much of it relied on rendered processing to acquire the aesthetic that I wanted. My vision was to make something ethereal and vocal but also a bit vague.
Metal Hits, Scrapes & Squeaks
Props include objects such as sheet metal, sledgehammers, paint cans, metal buckets, metal grating, metal marbles, cups, pots and pans, dry ice (contributing squeaks and squeals), metal bars, metal stands, chains and more.
Metamorphosis is a huge collection of recorded source, synthesized material and hybrid sounds. The library was created to cover a wide range of themes, with rich textures, aggressive impacts and a large selection of pass bys, bass drops, pyrotechnics and many more types of material.
All of the Recorded Section was captured at 384KHz with microphones capable of recording up to 200KHz among with more conventional mics. The resulting assets are sounds that can be stretched to new extremes for greater sound design opportunities.
In many cases I took the liberty to slow down the assets while editing the sounds to deliver what I thought was the most useful version of a given recording though in most cases I have also included other takes at the original 384KHz sample rate to get the best of both worlds.
All of the Synthesized Content was created in Serum while the Hybrid Section was created by manipulating the Recorded and Synthesized sounds.
Techniques such as morphing were used to blur the lines in between the nature of the two sources, making for ambiguous yet extremely versatile material that can be employed on both realistic and abstract designs.
Fully loaded with over 8 GB of sound material in a single package, this library brings you all you need to dive into the digital, virtual and interactive world. Whether you are looking for futuristic Sci-Fi sounds, high-tech sonifications, casual game UI elements or simple device / system user feedback, this versatile, ready-to-use collection has you covered.
In many applications of any kind, users encounter various levels or stages of interaction. MODERN UI features different sound sizes / priorities to meaningfully set apart sounds within the same category, giving you an immense head start in terms of flexibility.
Due to their modern and clean characteristics, MODERN UI sounds come with the added benefit of being both formidable in their own right as well as good starting points for your own design. All sounds are neatly tied into 13 unique categories; one-shots come with the established six variations while all textures are looped.
The possible uses and applications of this library extend far beyond the game and film domain. Whether you are an app or interactive media developer, working in the automobile or high-tech industry, a product designer or shaping user experiences in any other way – get inspired by and equipped abundantly with MODERN UI.
As opposed to Cinematic Elements: Fire & Water, no microphones were harmed in the production of this library. In fact, it has been crafted almost entirely using synthesis and elaborate effect chains through which any resemblance of the original recording was transformed into the edgy, unique and identifiable sounds that made it into the package.
A new BOOM library usually is born when we feel that the current supply on the market falls short of our own needs and quality standards. Especially game sound designers require a large pool of available intensities, moods, stages and variations when working on anything UI-related. Focusing purely on the virtual / artificial world, MODERN UI perfectly complements the first, more organic library The Interface.
Modulated Movement is a cohesive and potent collection of the sounds things make when in motion. Be it mechanical, organic, tech, sci-fi, futuristic, articulated or ambient, this collection plays the perfect compliment to characters, machines, objects or any graphic assets that are flying, creeping, crawling, crashing, sliding, swinging, swiping or displaying any kind of transitions or motions in the real world or even closer to home, in the unreal world of your projects. + Includes embedded Soundminer meta data.
This collection is a great fit for creative audio settings like movie trailers, explainer videos, animations, multimedia, game and movie sound design or straightforward video productions.
The Modulated Movement collection includes more than 500 dynamic, unique, trade craft movement and transition sounds including morphs, whooshes, swishes, transitions, projectile throws, mechanical movement sounds. Modulate the motion in your next audio soundscape with Epic Sounds and FX Modulated Movement.
You can never have enough whooshes in your collection, but MOTION is a great start! It's a rich sound palette of movement samples for (explainer) animation, motion graphics, IoT devices and apps.
Just like every SONIC BOOST pack, each sample in MOTION has been mastered and tagged to fit seamlessly into your workflow.
Introducing MOTION GRAPHICS, a complete Motion Graphics sound effects library from SoundMorph!
Motion Graphics focuses on all the elements you might need for sound design on a trailer, a cinematic scene or a visual that is heavy with motion graphics, whether it be abstract or straight forward, Motion Graphics has all the elements and textures you could think of. Motion Graphics are something all of us sound designers run into at one point or another, so this library is an excellent addition to your sound effects tool box.
Motion Graphics was created by and in collaboration with sound designer Rostislav Trifonov (SoundMorph Elemental library contributor).
Motion Graphics features 650 24bit/96 kHz .wav files, all meticulously embedded with Soundminer & Basehead metadata.
Welcome to "MOTION MODE", an intense collection of sounds to induce movement and evoke excitement in your production.
You will find whooshes, transitions, noises, granular textures, movements, stutters and hits with a powerful Sci-fi feel.
Special attention was put in the dynamics of the sounds to ensure the creation of an energetic pack aimed to enhance atmospheres, add movement and enrich musical compositions.
If you liked some of my previous libraries like "Dodge this" and "The Transition" you are gonna love this one.
Motion Texures is a broad library with a narrow purpose: to draw sonic lines and create gently moving sonic textures.
The concept is that consistent sound of friction will translate well to visual design elements that have CG and text movement on screen.
We recorded the friction sounds of dozens of small to medium sized props in constant motion. Major categories include metal, plastic, cloth, wood and skin. Some of the most interesting sounds came from the props that had small cavities such as the spray can lid and the water bottle. The constant changing of the cavity state relative to the mics creates strange vocal sounds.
Once the sounds were recorded we employed a proprietary smoothing process as a second pass to the sounds and provided them in addition to the original textures. These smoothed out sounds still have the organic quality of the original recordings, but with far fewer transient events. The end result are sounds that feel straighter than the more circular sounding original textures.
Inside of the Kontakt instruments we stacked layers and effects to create a broad base of deep and interesting textures. Many of the Kontakt presets mangle the sounds far beyond recognition of the original recordings.
'Mountain Dweller – Orc Sound Effects' from Bluezone Corporation is a collection of 184 carefully designed fantasy sound effects. Built around the theme of orcs and goblins, this original and massive sound library contains a wide selection of sounds from legendary creatures but also their universes.
Perfect for all kinds of fantasy movie and video game projects, this pack contains a wide variety of designed intimidating orc sounds like grunts and crunches, various types of footsteps to quickly build slow or fast step sequences, as well as sounds of attacks, violent blows and aggressive combat.
Unlock a whole universe of possible scenarios: A horde of goblins living in the mountains, building wooden bridges, digging with shovels and picks in underground mines, blowing up stone walls. Trolls cutting wood with their axes in the forest or wading in the mud. All these sounds are intuitive and ready to use, or can be edited to create your world. The background ambience in the demo is not part of the product but is added free of charge.
'Mountain Dweller – Orc Sound Effects' is the perfect source of inspiration to create movies such as 'The Lord of the Rings' and video games like Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer, Warcraft and more.
The most complex sound design jobs are often comprised of several intricate parts which build upon one another to create lush and captivating atmospheres.
The abstract sounds found in Movement Essentials help to create and enhance musical and cinematic soundscapes by allowing the user to layer and manipulate audio in an almost limitless number of combinations.
This 500+ sound effect library features minimal, yet intricately detailed organic and synthesized sounds that can be used to add depth, motion, or transitional effects to a plethora of film, animation, apps, video games, musical projects and more!

Multi Impacts is a package born from our previous Hits and Whoosh bundle. We have taken the decision to split the previous bundle to make two. Here's one of them!
Multi Impacts contains many impacts/hits sounds on several different surfaces. The library contains 258 sound files: Asphalt, Rubber, Car, Human, Ice, Metal, Water, Dirt, Plastic, Wood, and Sci-Fi Impacts.

We figured 99 whooshes was a good start to get you out of trouble, and we've provided a wide range of sounds, from nice clean wipes and slides to more complex textural sounds. Each file contains a single whoosh so you can grab the one you like and throw it on your timeline.
All files are 24 bit / 48kHz .wav files and are Sound Miner metadata embedded. Enjoy!

Small Cave Ambiences / Big Wave Crashes / Coquina Rock Hits
If you're in need of an Ocean/Beach library, this is it. The library covers a range of material from small enclosed spaces with the sound of distant waves droning to massive waves crashing against the coquina rock.
Although it is, in essence, an ambience library I recorded and edited material for maximum flexibility for further sound design capabilities.
The library was recorded over a period of 4-weekend trips to Washington Oaks State Park near Flagler Beach, FL.

Bonus Forge / Reaktor Sample Maps Also Included
With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.
A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
We'll definitely be back!
There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.

Pocket knife has been a much-needed tool since the birth of mankind. In certain places, carrying a pocket knife can get you into some serious type of trouble. Confiscation, fines, or even sometimes jail are all consequences of breaking the law. Many of these laws are written in twisted ways which keep us confused and vulnerable. Farmers used these pocket knives primarily to make their living from the land. Used as an everyday tool as opposed to self-defense, the pocket knife has remained unchanged for centuries. So, we are going to discuss certain reasons that you should keep a pocket knife in your EDC.
In this modern era, you get packages sent to your doorstep. You can use a pocket knife to slice them open with ease. Fun tip: To prevent residue from mucking up your blade, consider cutting the cardboard instead of the packing tape.
You are out on hunting, some pocket knives come with a very razor sharp edge. So you can use a pocket knife as a hunting knife.
When you go on CAMPING! Camping calls for untold/unpredictable stipulations and you definitely need a pocket knife to prevail over.
Sometimes, the only way to get rid of most types of zip ties is by cutting them. You can easily free the zip ties that are holding together with the help of a pocket knife.
If you don't have a dedicated staple remover in your pocket, you can use a pocket knife to open a staple on an important document quickly and easily, so it doesn't get mess up.
If you are on some sort of party but have no bottle opener? Just take out your pocket knife. In a Swiss Army knife, there is a dedicated bottle opener for you. If you don't have, no problem, a blade can easily be used to pop the top off a beer bottle.
When you're lost in a wild, fire is a key element. It's really difficult to make a fire without kindling and for kindling, you definitely need a good knife.
The pocket knife is also a critical part of the FIRST-AID KIT! It helps you design the bandage.
If you don't have a dedicated wire cutter, you can use your pocket knife easily in most of the conditions.
After catching a fish, it's time to clean it up a bit. Dressing it with a pocket knife is quick and easy.
When you are just a HOUSEWIFE! Kitchen needs you every time and you need a pocket knife to help you out with box opening, package opening and a lot more.
Pruning helps to improve the health of plants. When you're gardening in the yard, a pocket knife can also be used for pruning.
If you are out at home and can't find a pencil sharpener, you can sharpen your pencil by a pocket knife easily.
You can use a pocket knife for self-defense purpose. A street attack cannot be predicted and a pocket knife can turn out to be one and only help.
You can also use a pocket knife to hone other knives. You can use it in a similar way as a honing steel.

text: Lee, NH – Last week saw the Winston Modified Tour head to Lee USA Speedway for their third race of the season. Rick LaDuke would set fast time in qualifying and pick up his first career pole. Jim Windrow would lead a race high 60 laps in the 150 lap feature, but would get together with Danny Savary in the closing laps in turns 3 and 4. This would cause a major pile up with Bobby Ambroceo able to slip through to take the lead and never look back. There were a total of 28 lead changes with the race being slowed 9 times for 40 laps. This was Bobby Ambroceo's first career win on the Winston Modified Tour. Danny Savary was able to maintain his points lead by 7 points over Jim Windrow and 13 points over Dave Melson.

Nagoya-based band Lullatone, Shawn James Seymour and Yoshimi Tomida, mixes Japan's rich simplicity with their love for new sounds to create "miniature melodies for everyday moments," from Sunday Morning Shopping with a Stroller, to Spinning Until You Are Dizzy, to going for an Early Morning Run, to thinking about Acorns, and lots more.
This promotional video profile by Josh Brine for Marmoset Music also illuminates how the musical duo infuses play and experimentation into their creations. Example: Guitar + folded paper = Origami Guitar.
We listen to Lullatone all the time, especially their albums While Winter Whispers, Thinking About Thursdays, and Soundtracks for Everyday Adventures.
We also love playing the Lyons 25-Note Xylophone, seen above.
Watch more Lullatone, including Experiments Around the House and Yawns, an Everynone collection film.

CORNER WINDOW by Jeff Hartzer
#014 February, 2008
From our corner window this month, we feel our lifetimes slipping by. There is only one success: to be able to spend your life in your own way. If you love plastic grass in your backyard, rejoice. It can be done. Horses, cows, and pastures more your view of life? So be it; order up some artificial turf or let your yard be your living room. Homelessly walking down Second Street ? Sadly, that too can be yours. Whether you drive a fast car with even faster car payments or drive a paid-for older model, drive that car the best you can; be safe, and enjoy the ride. There's no rust in New Mexico. Each day, the sun sets; the moon rises. You own your life, spend it in your own way.
We join the rats and mice celebrating their very own Chinese New Year. Stand up and sing, little mouse, as you are the very first sign of the Chinese Zodiac. Just watch out for owls, hawks, snakes, and such. All things begin anew this month with the first of twelve new animal years. Can the blue planet last twelve more years? Singer, David Bowie only gave us 'Five Years' (a millennium ago). Look how wrong he was. In the year 2020, will there be any 'vacant land' left alongside Rio Bravo Boulevard? By then, will they have finally fixed the bumpy on-ramp to I-25 North? Will all the dreams of the South Valley have come true? If we can live lifetimes in a single day, how many will pass in twelve years?
Good times and Bad times have already scored in 2008. This month began with tornados smashing through the South, a spat of multi-victim "shooting gallery" killings, a truly super Super Bowl, and a Super (fat) Tuesday all thrown in for good luck. Hey, did you give up Lent for beer this time around? We can live lifetimes before Easter; even more will pass before baseball season opens.
No matter how your days go this year, take time to enjoy the sounds and sights of the remaining sandhill cranes and geese winging away from their mid-winter New Mexican condos. Witness as the Big Dipper replaces Orion overhead. Stars are brightest on the darkest nights. Enjoy the final passages of indoor teevee and reading. Ready yourself to plow under the last shards of winter time soon.
Celebrate the feast of St. Valentine every day. Lifetimes can pass in the time it takes to say, " I Love You." Love is a good thing. Even in the worst of times, we give our best to those we love. Thank you, dear troops, for volunteering to fight for our country so that we do not have to do so. One minute spent 'living your lifetime' in Iraq can ruin your whole day. Tax rebates anyone? How about bringing our kids home, where they can live longer lifetimes with those they love. Might also save us a few billion bucks a day.
It's true. We can live lifetimes in a single day. It's time to begin.

It's not a complex one by any means (though, after writing this entire post, perhaps it's more complex than I originally thought?), but I'm just curious how others navigate it, so I… Continue reading Discussion: The Platforms of Social Media

Artisan insurance
Coverage to pick up the pieces
You're an army of helping hands working with wood, wire, glass, pavers, plaster, appliances and more. You put a shine on the places we live and work.
But what happens if the shine rubs off and there's a problem?
What if a client gets hurt tripping over your tools? A dropped tool cracks a tiled floor? Or a priceless vase topples as you brush past?
Luckily, broken glass doesn't have to mean shattered revenue. General liability insurance can help you pick up the pieces.
Why do artisans need liability insurance?
Because even if an accident wasn't your fault, you can still be sued. And that can be painful – for your wallet.
If a case goes to court and gets drawn out, you're looking at legal bills of 5, maybe even 6 figures. Without insurance, how will you cover that?
Even if a case is groundless, general liability insurance can pay your legal bills and compensation, if you're liable.
So be crafty. Get covered.
What does our artisan contractor insurance cover?
- Bodily injury – a client trips over your power cable while you're working at their house, breaking their arm. Your coverage can pay their medical expenses.
- Property damage – you're replacing internal doors at your customer's home and drop one, smashing a collection of antique figurines. Your coverage can pay for repairs or replacement.
- Personal injury – you're overheard making a mean remark about a tricky customer. It gets back to them and they sue you for slander. Your coverage can pay for an attorney to defend you and compensation - if you're found liable.
Which artisan professions do we insure?
- Air conditioning installation and repair
- Appliance installation and repair
- Cabling installation
- Carpentry
- Carpet, furniture and upholstery cleaning
- Clock making and repair
- Communications equipment installation
- Door or window installation and repair
- Driveway or sidewalk paving and repaving
- Drywall or wallboard installation and repair
- Electrical work
- Fence installation and repair
- Floor covering installation
- Glass installation and repair
- Handywork
- Heating installation and repair
- Home theater installation
- Interior finishing
- Locksmiths
- Masonry work
- Painting and decorating
- Plastering and stucco work
- Plumbing
- Property preservation
- Security system installation
- Sign painting and lettering
- Sound equipment installation
- Tiling, stone, marble, mosaic or terrazzo work
- Window cleaning
How much does our artisan contractor coverage cost?
Our policies start at $37.50 per month.
But it's worth bearing in mind, that the cost of your insurance will be affected by things like:
- your experience and qualifications
- the number of employees you have, and
- the value of your tools and equipment.
If you've been in business for years with no history of problems, your insurance will cost less than someone who's just starting out. Or who's had lots of claims in the past.
And if you're a one-man band who sticks to small projects, you'll pay a lot less for liability insurance than a major contractor with a big team.
Whatever the cost, there's a package to suit your particular business needs. And payment options, too, so you can spread the cost to fit your budget.
What other insurance do artisan contractors need?
So often, your expensive tools get lost, damaged, or stolen, just when you need them most. If you can't afford to replace them straightaway, it might not just cost you in delays, it could cost you the job.
Add business personal property insurance to your general liability policy and you'll get up to $25,000 equipment cover. Which could come in very handy.
Workers' compensation insurance protects your business from the cost of workplace injuries to staff. If you don't have any staff, you don't need it. But the minute you hire your first employee, most states require you to have workers' comp coverage.
And that's a good thing. Because if an accident happens to an employee on the job, your insurance can cover their medical bills, lost wages and legal costs. And protect you from a lawsuit – whoever's at fault.
Think you're too small to get hacked? Think again. A one-man show's just as likely to be hit by hackers as a big corporate. But without their resources, you're less likely to recover.
Cyber liability insurance can't stop an attack. But it can pay the recovery costs, so your business survives one.
But because every business is different, you'll want insurance to suit your exact needs. InsuranceBee can do that. And it'll only take a few minutes.

Why do you see yourself as being Modern, Vintage, Classic, or Eclectic?
I can't help but seeing my style as a little bit of all four! As a designer, I work with all different types of brides & grooms with all different kinds of styles. I love getting to know them and their personalities so I can create something that they will truly love to share on their special day.
What is your favorite wedding detail you've ever seen or created?
Naturally, the invitations & paper products are one of my favorites. But besides that, I also love seeing all of the personal details that shows off the bride & groom's personality and makes their wedding unique. And I can't help but love a photobooth with a cute backdrop and fun props! :)
What is your favorite store or brand?
Like my design style, it's a little bit of everything! From Anthropologie to Target, with a mix of boutique stores, craft stores, and any cute antique shop.
What advice do you have for a newly engaged couple?
Remember to take time to ENJOY being engaged! Preparing for your wedding can be overwhelming, and it's so easy to get caught up in the planning process. Secondly, don't be afraid to be different. These days there aren't any rules when it comes to your special day. Let your personalities shine through and enjoy the best day of your lives!
What is your favorite thing about weddings?
Where do I even begin? I love everything about weddings! I adore when couples do a first look -- I remember when I got married, all of the excitement and emotion leading up to that special moment! I'm also a sucker for all of the little details and I can't help but appreciate a gorgeously styled dessert table! But ultimately, the idea of two people falling in love and starting the rest of their life together is simply beautiful.
What qualities do you possess that enable you to work well with brides and grooms?
I truly listen and try to get to know each one of my couples. I love hearing their inspiration and ideas and then translating them in to design. The invitations are the first peek a guest will get in to their wedding. It will represent such a special day, and I strive to design a piece that the bride and groom will absolutely love!
What steps do you take to ensure that your clients will have amazing wedding days when working with you?
I try to make it as easy and as stress-free as possible. And hopefully fun! Inspiration boards, timelines, email updates, and keeping things organized from start to finish are key parts of my design process. And most of all, I love helping my clients develop their vision and delivering a final product that brings it to life-- it's one of the highlights of my job!

Kentucky Owl Rye Batch 1 was one of my favorite whiskies of last year, and my second favorite rye, next to Lot 40 Cask Strength 12yr. Batch 1 came out strong and the secondary ran up quickly to 200-250 before people realized that tens of thousands of bottles were released and eventually MSRP came all the way down to $110 and it was easy to get everywhere. At the $110 price, it was a no brainer to buy 6 or more and become a daily drinker (I still have 3 left in my bunker). Batch 2 has come out with an MSRP of $180, which is what I paid for this one. I've seen secondary offers in the 200-250 range, but I expect this to drop to the MSRP level extremely quickly.
The bottle looks the same, but the top doesn't have the fake tax stamp and has a slightly different enclosure. This one is slightly less proof as well, but from afar, they look the same.
The nose is good, candied orange peel, NECCO Wafers, honeysuckle, rose petals, brown sugar, ginger snaps and cherry pie. Not too hot.
The candied flavors come in strong on the palate and the mouthfeel is good, but a little thin, as it fails to coat all over as much as I wanted. The finish is medium long but does fade to bitter at the end, far sooner than I hoped.
Batch 2 is a decent, but given the sky high expectations, mildly disappointing follow up to Batch 1; the original is better. The nose and palate are similar with the strong candied orange peel, but the main difference is the mouthfeel, which is superior in the original. The heat is equal, even though this is lower proof. The price increase of more than 50% doesn't help it either. Worth picking up a bottle, especially if you liked the first one, but certainly not one worthy of stocking up on given the price. 90/100

The Iranian Kurdistan
We wanted to know the Iranian Kurdistan, a very special region that requires time and patience. The connections between people are not ideal due to the mountainous topography of the place.
Kurdistan, a region divided in 4 regions belonging to Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey. They have their own language and culture. They represent approximately the 10% the Iranian population. Linguistically they may come to understand between different regions, Although with some dialectal differences.
The relationship of the region with the rest of the country is not, far, the ideal. The policemen and Iranian military as some animals is described. Police checkpoints are multiplying in the Kurdish region.
Periodically there are demonstrations and small clashes between the population and the central Government, Although the region is stable, is safe to visit but I recommend get information updated in your Ministry of affairs external.
Before coming to power the Islamic Khomeini leader, the population drank alcohol and women not wearing the headscarf. I must also say that there is the liquor smuggling and self-made.
More drivers who do their job seems to be in front of a cinema screen, watching the road, answering all messaging phone, eating pipes and making reckless manoeuvres at the wheel. The minibuses are fragile boxes of matches conducted by mindless, but this is not an exception in the region, is common throughout the country. In India for example, drivers slow down before the proximity of passers-by, not in Iran, you accelerate so that you turn you, with all the danger that this implies, We have suffered in our meat fearful Iranian driving.
On the bus we met a nice couple, so hospital that is pawned in provide us our stay while were with us. They made us a tourist tour of Marivan and the next day took us with your vehicle to the remote village of Howraman, also known as Uraman.
The region that retains more fervently Kurdish culture is also the most mountainous. Although the distances are relatively small time to reach them is high, It takes patience and many hours of transport. Kurds people raised on the border with Iraq are very interesting and its generous people. Depending on the time of year it is possible to shorten the path from a village to another, so I recommend going early summer to save time.
The smugglers used the least controlled border roads to bring Iran products such as tobacco and clothing. They use their SUVs to travel back roads and avoid checkpoints.
There are many interesting villages to discover in the Iranian Kurdistan with the Iraqi border, Since it is a very large region, among them are Howraman, Palangan, Paveh ( pronounced/paue / ), Kandovan...
It is still possible to see traditional life in these places, I say yet because in spite of the scarce foreign tourism, national tourism that it is massive. This is due to the little purchasing power of the majority of the population, When he occasionally travels abroad having as main destinations China or Turkey, affordable destinations.
I recommend visiting the market of Sanandaj, Although it is a city, the majority of the population is Kurdish and dresses can be seen of traditional form and characters of diverse cultures.
Women wear colorful way, some with bright, Unlike the totally black savannah that dressed up in most parts of the country.
Men, but not all, dress with very baggy pants. This garment is very cool because it does not come into contact with the skin and air can circulate inside.
Some towns, for example Howraman, It retains the style of original life Kurdish, the men wear a very typical jackets in winter, with a few peculiar horns on the shoulders. His vocabulary is full of words to other Kurds because they forgot, They speak the Orami.
Most villagers live as small boxes of matches made of adobe and must be periodically repaired. They repair them after rainy season, When is the mud wet, Add more adobe and smooth it with a heavy cylindrical stone.
In Kurdistan, as in most of the country, marriages are concluded. This means that parents agree to the marriage.
Sex only are permitted within marriage. Yes women, as it happens sometimes, access relationships, It is customary to be rejected socially and by their potential future husbands. A rather discriminatory situation for women, then reverse the man would be not rejected.
Iranians enjoy these Kurdish enclaves, sections of the center of the country, but not to its ancestral culture, but their beautiful tracts of land where they can make picnics. The tasty fish Kurdish is also famous among Iranians, especially the trout.
You can see all the images to full screen in the Photos section.

Cloud Computing
Bhavin D. Tank (S.Y.B.Sc. (IT)) College of Computer Science and Information Technology, Junagadh Ph. +91 - 93282 96802 E-mail: email@example.com
ABSTRACT: This white paper is an introduction to the terms, characteristics, and services associated with internet-based computing, commonly referred to as cloud computing. Also introduced are the benefits and challenges associated with cloud computing, and for those seeking to use communications services in the cloud, briefly presented are different ways of determining the interfaces needed to use these communications services. Cloud computing is where software applications, processing power, data and potentially even artificial intelligence are accessed over the Internet. Many private individuals now regularly use an online email application such as Gmail, Yahoo! Mail or Hotmail.
The location of physical resources and devices being accessed are typically not known to the end user. It also provides facilities for users to develop, deploy and manage their applications 'on the cloud', which entails virtualization of resources that maintains and manages itself.
1. What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing provides the facility to access shared resources and common infrastructure, offering services n demand over the network to perform operations that meet changing business needs.
"Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the internet." – Wikipedia "Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid."- Wikipedia Basically a cloud is a virtualization of Resources that manages and maintains itself.
CCSIT, Junagadh firstname.lastname@example.com
Page 1
2. Types of cloud
Public Cloud: the services are delivered to the client via the Internet from a third party service provider. Example: Amazon, Yahoo, Google
Example of Clouds
3. Architecture
Cloud architecture,[15] the systems architecture of the software systems involved in the delivery of cloud computing, typically involves multiple cloud components communicating with each other over application programming interfaces, usually web services and 3-tier architecture. This resembles the Unix philosophy of having multiple programs each doing one thing well and working together over universal interfaces. Complexity is controlled and the resulting systems are more manageable than their monolithic counterparts.
Private Cloud: these services are managed and provided within the organization. There are less restriction on network bandwidth, fewer security exposures and other legal requirements compared to the public Cloud. Example: HP Data Centers Hybrid cloud: There is some confusion over the term "Hybrid" when applied to the cloud - a standard definition of the term "Hybrid Cloud" has not yet emerged. The term "Hybrid Cloud" has been used to mean either two separate clouds joined together (public, private, internal or external), or a combination of virtualized cloud server instances used together with real physical hardware. The most correct definition of the term "Hybrid Cloud" is probably the use of physical hardware and virtualized cloud server instances together to provide a single common service
The two most significant components of cloud computing architecture are known as the front end and the back end. The front end is the part seen by the client, i.e. the computer user.
Hybrid cloud

This includes the client's network (or computer) and the applications used to access the cloud via a user interface such as a web browser. The back end of the cloud computing architecture is the 'cloud' itself, ...

I'm just going to say that work has been too hectic recently so apologies for another late SOTW. I try to be on time as much as possible but sometimes that's just not doable with work and how tired I am afterwards. But the important part is that I will post it!
So I started becoming aware of Bump of Chicken after completing Final Fantasy Type 0 and thought their theme song was great. I then took the recommendation to marathon Kekkai Sensen over the Christmas holidays. Whilst I didn't enjoy it that much because I didn't get what was going on, I did enjoy the OP theme and was told that season 2 was much better. So I plan to marathon that next time I have a long holiday, in any case here is Hello World by Bump of Chicken!

I have a folder (
watch) that got filled with a lot of temporary files by mistake. I've cleared out all of those files but the the folder is still 356 kB in size. In the past I've moved the folder out of the way, created a new folder with the same name, and copied all the files into it to get it back down to its former small size. Is there any way to get it back down to a small size without recreating the folder?

I know that we've talked quite a lot about some of the reasons you might want to get out of science – from evil overlord supervisors to the actual alternative careers you could apply your lab skills to – but there are many reasons to stay in science, nuzzled up against the bench.
There's plenty of talk about how much travel is involved with a science career, especially an academic one. But for some, that's a fantastic thing! Maybe you did your undergrad in the UK, headed off to California for a PhD, did a few years in Germany for a post-doc, and then landed an associate professorship in Hawaii! Boom. That's a whole load of different cities, cultures, and most importantly, food, to take in. Globetrotters will be all over this.
It's sad but true that most jobs in the world are about working through todo lists set by more senior people. In research, that isn't really the case. You have much more freedom to pursue your own research interests (within reason, obviously) and few restrictions beyond the lab PI, if any. It also means you're free to go off on tangents to figure out what that weird result means. Your work succeeds or fails on your own efforts and it's up to you to fix things and set new paths of investigation when needed. There isn't much else that allows for that.
Science is hard. Plain and simple. Figuring out things like biological systems is incredibly complex and can be intensely frustrating. But it also comes with a huge sense of satisfaction when you overcome that challenge and push your project forward. Sure, other jobs can be difficult at times, but I don't think they often (if ever) come close to the intellectual (and often emotional!) challenge associated with scientific research.
Science is cool. Okay so this might be superficial, but when you can respond to the tired old question of "So, what do you do?" with "I'm a scientist" then it just feels good. It feels satisfying. You can put a little smug grin on and nod "Yep, I'm a scientist."
"WOW! Are you curing cancer then?"
"Er…well…" Okay, so that's another issue, but overall, I think it's pretty awesome to be able to call yourself a scientist (as opposed to what I do now, which is append everything with "…but I used to be a scientist.").
Ultimately it means you're still doing proper science. You're at the bench, running experiments, dealing with data, answering questions, studying, and figuring stuff out. And quite often that means discovery and exploring things that, at that moment, are known only to you. Being close to the science means a lot for many of us as even when you do work in a scientific industry, you can feel removed from the actual science. Staying near the bench will also keep you close to the subject matter you love. Which is why you got into this whole thing to start with!
So, any plans on what you're doing next? Moving on to explore other avenues? Or sticking with your lab coat and pipette?

This is a bit of an "inside Wizbang" post. From the Petraeus testimony comes the following good news about the surge working.
Click for full size
Considering the surge started to get going in December, it shows good news indeed. The insider's part, I'll leave in the extended section. (and I'll add a language warning up here too)
I warned him, I did. Last month, local troll Paul Hooson went around blabbering that the surge was failing because the civilian death count was higher for a single month. After explaining to him that a slight tick up for a single month meant nothing, he still would not drop it… After many, many go-rounds, finally, in exasperation, I gave him this warning:
Hooson, since you are too stupid to figure this out, I'll explain it to you.
You're pulling a Leeward and setting your self up for a colossal ass kicking. When next month civilian deaths fall, I'll link this and make you look like the asshole you are.
Remember Leeward and the Dixie Chicks? I have a long memory and I know how to use a search tool. You'll just make an ass out of yourself later.
But go ahead and make the case that civilian deaths are the measure by which we should judge the surge. Go ahead, set yourself for being made an ass later. I won't stop you.
And goodness knows you're too stupid to stop yourself.
as I predicted, he wasn't smart enough to stop himself….
Your premise that the "surge is working" is clearly not true for Iraqi civilians, otherwise the violence against them would be decreasing, right? Only some American deaths have declined since March, right?
Hooson, I warned ya buddy, I did, I really tried to save ya, but you did it to yourself. But a promise is a promise, I gotta do it… You're an asshole.
Look at that one single month (July) you hung your hat on. I gave you the link showing you that June showed the lowest civilian causalities in a year but you ignored that. The almighty Democrat talking point said civilian deaths where up that month and you refused to consider the Dem talking points where (gasp) bullshit.
So I guess you're a big supporter of the surge now right?
(BTW- You're unbanned for this one thread as calling you an asshole while you're banned would be childish. — Besides, how can you apologize if you're banned?)
