The University of Maryland, College ParkThe University of Maryland, College Park (commonly referred to as the University of Maryland, UMD, or simply Maryland) is a public research university in College Park, Maryland.[ Founded in 1856, UMD is the flagship institution of the University System of Maryland, and is the largest university in both the state and the Washington metropolitan area, with more than 41,000 students representing all fifty states and 123 countries, and a global alumni network of over 360,000.[ Its twelve schools and colleges together offer over 200 degree-granting programs, including 92 undergraduate majors, 107 master's programs, and 83 doctoral programs.[UMD is a member of the Association of American Universities and competes in intercollegiate athletics as a member of the Big Ten Conference.
The University of Maryland's proximity to the nation's capital has resulted in many research partnerships with the federal government;[ faculty receive research funding and institutional support from agencies such as the National Institutes of Health, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Department of Homeland Security. It is classified as one of 115 first tier research universities in the country by the Carnegie Foundation,[ and is labeled a "Public Ivy", denoting a quality of education comparable to the private Ivy League.[] UMD is consistently ranked among the top 100 universities both nationally and globally by several indexes.
In 2016, the University of Maryland, College Park and the University of Maryland, Baltimore formalized their strategic partnership after their collaboration successfully created more innovative medical, scientific, and educational programs,[23] as well as greater research grants and joint faculty appointments than either campus has been able to accomplish on its own.[As of 2017, the operating budget of the University of Maryland is approximately $2.1 billion. For the 2018 fiscal year, the university received a total of over $545 million in external research funding.[ In October 2017, the university received a record-breaking donation of $219.5 million from the A. James & Alice B. Clark Foundation, ranking among the largest philanthropic gifts to a public university in the country.
Early history
Charles Benedict Calvert (1808-1864), founder of the Maryland Agricultural College in 1856, predecessor to UMCP
On March 6, 1856, the forerunner of today's University of Maryland was chartered as the Maryland Agricultural College. Two years later, Charles Benedict Calvert (1808-1864), a future U.S. Representative (Congressman) from the sixth congressional district of Maryland, 1861-1863, during the American Civil War and descendent of the first Lord Baltimores, colonial proprietors of the Province of Maryland in 1634, purchased 420 acres (1.7 km2) of the Riversdale Mansion estate nearby today's College Park, Maryland.[32] Later that year, Calvert founded the school and was the acting president from 1859 to 1860.[33] On October 5, 1859, the first 34 students entered the Maryland Agricultural College.] The school became a land grant college in February 1864.
Bankruptcy and revival
Morrill Hall, built in 1898, is the oldest academic building on campus.
During the Civil War, Confederate soldiers under Brigadier General Bradley Tyler Johnson moved past the college on July 12, 1864 as part of Jubal Early's raid on Washington, D.C.[34] By the end of the war, financial problems forced the administrators to sell off 200 acres (81 ha) of land, and the continuing decline in enrollment sent the Maryland Agricultural College into bankruptcy. For the next two years the campus was used as a boys preparatory school.[1] Following the Civil War, in February 1866 the Maryland legislature assumed half ownership of the school. The college thus became in part a state institution. By October 1867, the school reopened with 11 students. In the next six years, enrollment grew and the school's debt was paid off. In 1873, Samuel Jones, a former Confederate Major General, became president of the college.
Twenty years later, the federally funded Agricultural Experiment Station was established there. During the same period, state laws granted the college regulatory powers in several areas—including controlling farm disease, inspecting feed, establishing a state weather bureau and geological survey, and housing the board of forestry. Morrill Hall (the oldest instructional building still in use on campus) was built the following year.
The Great Fire of 1912
The campus during the 1912 fire
On November 29, 1912, a fire destroyed the barracks where the students were housed, all the school's records, and most of the academic buildings, leaving only Morrill Hall untouched. There were no injuries or fatalities, and all but two students returned to the university and insisted on classes continuing.[1] Students were housed by families in neighboring towns until housing could be rebuilt, although a new administration building was not built until the 1940s.[1] A large brick and concrete compass inlaid in the ground designates the former center of campus as it existed in 1912.
Modern history
The University of Maryland campus as it appeared in 1938 before the dramatic expansion engineered by President Byrd
The state took control of the school in 1916, and the institution was renamed Maryland State College. That year, the first female students enrolled at the school. On April 9, 1920, the college became part of the existing University of Maryland, replacing St. John's College, Annapolis as the University's undergraduate campus.[35][36] In the same year, the graduate school on the College Park campus awarded its first PhD degrees and the university's enrollment reached 500 students. In 1925 the university was accredited by the Association of American Universities.
By the time the first black students enrolled at the university in 1951, enrollment had grown to nearly 10,000 students—4,000 of whom were women. Prior to 1951, many black students in Maryland were enrolled at the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore.
In 1957, President Wilson H. Elkins made a push to increase academic standards at the university. His efforts resulted in the creation of one of the first Academic Probation Plans. The first year the plan went into effect, 1,550 students (18% of the total student body) faced expulsion.
On October 19, 1957, Queen Elizabeth II of England attended her first and only college football game at the University of Maryland after expressing interest in seeing a typical American sport during her first tour of the United States. The Maryland Terrapins beat the North Carolina Tar Heels 21-7 in the historical game now referred to as "The Queen's Game"
21st century
In 2004, the university began constructing the 150-acre (61 ha) "M Square Research Park," which includes facilities affiliated with the U.S. Department of Defense, Food and Drug Administration, and the new National Center for Weather and Climate Prediction, affiliated with The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).[41] In May 2010, ground was broken on a new $128-million, 158,068-square-foot (14,685.0 m2) Physical Science Complex, including an advanced quantum science laboratory.
Wallace Loh became president of the university in 2010.
The university's "Great Expectations" campaign from 2006 to 2012 exceeded $1 billion in private donations.
The university suffered multiple data breaches in 2014. The first resulted in the loss of over 300,000 student and faculty records. A second data breach occurred several months later.[45] The second breach was investigated by the FBI and Secret Service and found to be done by David Helkowski.[46] Despite the attribution, no charges were filed. As a result of the data breaches, the university offered free credit protection for five years to the students and faculty affected.
In 2012, the University of Maryland, College Park and the University of Maryland, Baltimore united under the MPowering the State initiative to leverage the strengths of both institutions.[48][49][50] The University of Maryland Strategic Partnership Act of 2016 officially formalized this partnership.[25][26][23]
The University of Maryland's University District Plan, developed in 2011 under President Wallace Loh and the College Park City Council, seeks to make the City of College Park a top 20 college town by 2020 by improving housing and development, transportation, public safety, local pre-K-12 education, and supporting sustainability projects.[] As of 2018, the university is involved with over 30 projects and 1.5 million square feet of development as part of its Greater College Park Initiative, worth over $1 billion in public-private investments.[ The university's vision is to revitalize the campus to foster a dynamic and innovative academic environment, as well as to collaborate with the surrounding neighborhoods and local government to create a vibrant downtown community for students and faculty alike

Room for optimism in Iraq under new leadership
Despite relatively justified pessimistic opinions about the political process in Iraq, the choices for president, prime minister and parliament speaker allow many reasons for renewed optimism.
The appointees were chosen through a long and painful birthing process in a manner that shattered many tough-to-break loyalties along partisan or sectarian or ethnic lines.
For the first time since 2003, parliament members voted individually — not as blocs — and that is a very positive development. The Shia, Sunni and Kurdish camps in Iraq have experienced their first major fractures. There was also a tendency towards abandoning the quota system.
There was a difficult and danger-fraught birth of this new process in Iraq with the drama in southern Iraq. When the likelihood of the formation of a new government outside the influence of Iran became strong, shadowy hands poisoned the water in Basra and instigated violence there.
It became obvious that what was needed was a transition phase that would make it possible to effectively deal with the corruption and destruction inside the government apparatus.
If the Sairoon bloc and its allies persisted in trying to break the back of political corruption and giving Iraqis what they wanted, the country could have easily fallen into an endless spiral of violence. What the Iraqis wanted was a transitional civil government that would end sectarianism and kick out militias and political forces loyal to Iran. They also wanted a war on corruption.
What happened was an acceptance of a halfway solution towards that objective, a transitional and temporary phase. The anger on the streets of southern and central Iraq had a lot to do with that. The political lines of this transitional phase will become clearer and better defined as the fog surrounding Iran's crisis dissipates.
The whole region is on verge of the downfall of political Islam. That this extraordinary development might happen faster than anyone has anticipated as the result of a domino effect when the main tile in that setup — the mullahs' regime in Iran — tumbles. That is likely to happen soon.
The choice of Adel Abdul-Mahdi as prime minister is an acceptable alternative during this transitional period, much better than driving the country into full chaos.
Abdul-Mahdi is known for his economic expertise. He is said to have accepted the nomination as prime minister on condition that the political parties do not interfere in his cabinet choices. He has said competence and qualifications were going to be his main criteria in choosing his cabinet ministers.
Abdul-Mahdi would have to be the only person in Iraq to have refused the advantages and privileges that come with the positions of Iraqi vice-president and oil minister. He had done just that twice by resigning from those positions when protesters demanded it.
In the end, the real judge of the new government is going to be the Iraqi street.
Barham Salih, elected president of Iraq, has matured tremendously since Kurdistan's fierce confrontation with the Iraqi federal government. His recent statements and positions indicate that he is for a civil and modern state in Iraq.
His former nationalistic positions in favour of an independent Kurdistan must be understood within the context of his instinctive leanings but it seems he has changed his views and is following a coherent civil state logic. Salih's past should not be used against him.
Salih is a qualified person and expertly knowledgeable in public affairs, unlike some two-bit opportunists who had major positions in the previous government.
However, the election of Parliament Speaker Mohammed al-Halbousi has the appearance of a dubious deal. Most members of parliament and the heads of the parliamentarian blocs may have chosen Halbousi in the hope that he would oppose any attempt to make them stand trial for their actions.
It was obvious that Halbousi was the favoured candidate of the militias and the Iranian camp. They preferred him to Khaled al-Obaidi, who would have been tougher on corruption.
The Kurdish parties, too, prefer Halbousi at the head of the parliament when the time comes to discuss the disputed areas between Kurdistan and the federal government. Those parties opposed Obaidi's election apparently because he comes from Mosul and knows the historical and social aspects of the disputed areas.
Halbousi will not last long as speaker. With the passing of the current storm and after the formation of a new administration, new blocs will crystallise in parliament and will probably remove him, given the heavy suspicions of corruption surrounding the man.
In fact, there is movement towards that end and Obaidi might turn out to be the best choice for Iraqi parliament speaker.
To avoid taking Iraq to the slippery slopes of internal conflict and chaos, Iraqis can realistically accept to live with these choices for the three leadership positions in Iraq as part of a necessary transitional phase.

FILM NOIR CLASSIC MOVIE POSTERS 1948-1950 - a brief listPublished on 10 Oct. 2017
Old Imprints
Specialities : Cinema , Performing arts , Maps , Ephemera , Popular Culture , Theatre , Posters
The distinctive style of movies of the golden age of Film Noir, that genre of Hollywood crime dramas infused with liberal doses of sex and cynicism, is captured in the striking graphics of these classic movie posters. The portrait that emerges of a darker side of mid-twentieth century America makes them a compelling resource for the study of that period as well as for film history archives.
The light-hearted Gary Cooper / Barbara Stanwyck comedy "Ball of Fire" of 1941 that we include in this listing drives home this contrast…but no matter what, somebody is going to get burned...

In 2019, following reflection on the Archdiocesan Synod 2017 recommendations and Pope Francis' teaching on caring for creation, the Commission has been given a new name, mandate and structure. The key responsibilities of the Commission are:
Supporting the communities of the Archdiocese and wider community to hear and actively respond to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor;
Scrutinising all issues and institutions in society and in the Archdiocese in the light of Catholic social teaching
Encouraging and enabling the people of the Archdiocese to collectively deepen their understanding of the "peripheries" in order to respond and take action for change.
"The natural environment is a collective good, the patrimony of all humanity and the responsibility of everyone. If we make something our own, it is only to administer it for the good of all. If we do not, we burden our consciences with the weight of having denied the existence of others. That is why the New Zealand bishops asked what the commandment "Thou shall not kill" means when "twenty percent of the world's population consumes resources at a rate that robs the poor nations and future generations of what they need to survive".
Pope Francis, Laudato Si' 95.

Last month, the Circular Farming Platform organised the event 'Together towards circular farming: collectively transforming the agricultural science paradigm'. WUR student/farmer Anouk van Bakel, from the family farm Vrebamelkvee B.V. talked about the measures that Vrebamelkvee is taking to become more sustainable. She also addressed the challenges that the farm encounters to shift from linear to circular farming.
Event organized by Stichting Boerengroep
With great enthusiasm, Anouk has invited us to come and have a look at the farm which happens to be the largest dairy farm of the Netherlands. On the 15th of June we will be given a guided tour around the farm led personally by her. For those of you trying to grasp the concept of circularity, this is your chance to see how innovative farming in the Netherlands looks like and to see how a big milking carrousel works.
We do ask for an excursion fee of 7 euros to cover your travel costs to the farm and back, but this is nothing in comparison to the value of such an inside look at the farm. Friends, colleagues and famers are all welcome so feel free to invite anyone who might enjoy this excursion!
Time schedule:
13.00 – We gather in front of RADIX and leave Wageningen by car
14:00 – Arrival at farm with small presentation and start of farm tour
17:00 – Leave the farm to return to Wageningen
18:00 – Estimated time to be back in Wageningen

Prizzi's Honor, Seed of Chucky
As the shutdown heads into its fourth week, the nation is getting used to the radical idea that we can actually do without the fleets of bureaucrats who, in the immortal words of the Declaration of Independence, have been "sent hither to harass our people and eat out their substance." For decades, as the federal leviathan has grown ever larger, and poked its voracious snout into all manners of unconstitutional fodder, the people of the United States have largely sat idly by, hoping to catch some of the droppings from the creature's maw in the belief that it will not eat them too as it forages merrily along.
To be sure, the furloughed public servants are merely suffering delayed paychecks thanks to the Democrats' refusal to accept the results of the 2016 election, and while the public has not been as deliberately inconvenienced as it was during the dog-in-the-manger Obama shutdown, its effects are nevertheless being felt at such points of intersection as the national parks. Still, life has gone on otherwise pretty much as before -- and the longer the shutdown rolls on, the more easily the way we were can be forgotten.
So the longer Donald Trump wrangles with his two superannuated cartoon antagonists, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, the stronger the president's position becomes. This despite the Democrat Media's insistence that the shutdown is a terrible thing, costing the lives of (as usual) untold women, children, and minorities. Indeed, the New York Times, in an attempt to be helpful, even went so far as to illustrate "What the Shutdown Would Look Like if It Happened in Other Industries."
The 800,000 federal employees furloughed or working without pay is more than the 748,000 people employed by the mining and oil extraction industries in the United States. (And it's 16 times the size of the entire coal mining industry.) It's also more than the 640,000 people employed by the entire textiles and clothing manufacturing industry. It's more than double the number of people who work for Target and more than four times the number of people who work at General Motors.
The Treasury department furloughed roughly 72,400 workers. That is nearly three times the number of people who work at Facebook. The Department of the Interior furloughed about 56,000 employees, which is more than the nearly 50,000 people who work at Chevron worldwide … and more than 10 times the number of people who work at Netflix.
One would think that these numbers only serve to prove how unconscionably large the federal government has become, but of course that's not the way the Democrats and their fellow travelers near Times Square see it. The employer of last resort must stay in business to keep hiring more and more people for more and more positions in the metastasizing bureaucracy, where lifetime employment is very nearly a constitutional guarantee.
Trump's best play, then, is to string out the shutdown as long as possible, keeping the pressure on the Democrats either to acknowledge the problem on the border, and the moral necessity of protecting the country from what amounts to a slow-motion invasion -- a reconquista -- from the Latin south, or to simply drop all pretense and come out for the abolition of the country as founded, on the grounds of, you know, racism.
As Maerose Prizzi and her consigliere are discovering, what can't go on forever, won't. As the national debt soars to ever more irrational levels, and the current deficit alone a trillion dollars, the brinksmanship must soon come to a crashing end, and if a good chunk of the federal workforce goes down with it, tant pis. The pair's pathetic, boilerplated response to Trump's speech Tuesday night was widely ridiculed: two tired political hacks taking their horror show on the road once too many times. From the wreckage, perhaps we can all make a fresh start. Then again, given the determined nature of the other team, maybe not:
Alas, even as Pelosi and Schumer start to fade away, their unholy partnership has bequeathed America a terrifying newcomer, who's already picking up the hammer and sickle and getting ready to party. She's too young to run for president in 2020, but have no doubt that the Democrats are grooming her as the female Barack Obama. Shutdown or no shutdown, here she comes:
It's a race against time. Will the Trump GOP manage to secure the border, break the bureaucracy (a Republican invention, we should recall), and get a handle on the debt before the "Democratic Socialists" dance their way to power? Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Child support and registration of overseas orders
Support and maintenance of children is important for any separating parent, particularly when you may not continue to reside in the same country. Most jurisdictions, including Australia, impose a system of child support or maintenance with avenues available for enforcement and collection across borders.
As is the case for spousal maintenance orders, it is possible to register child support orders and arrangements in reciprocating jurisdictions with the Australian Government's Department of Social Services. This includes child support or maintenance in Hong Kong, Singapore, UK, Malaysia, Philippines, India and USA among others.

The Global Gender Gap Report is a yearly study
sponsored by The World Economic Forum. This is a prestigious group that meets in Davos
Switzerland each year. It attracts more than 2500 of the world's leading figures in business
and politics—people like Bill Gates and German Chancellor Angela Merkel show up.
So do celebrities: Bono, Mick Jagger, and Angelina Jolie. The purpose of the gathering
is admirable: to brainstorm on ways to make the world a better place. One way the Forum
hopes to improve the world is to highlight "role models" of gender equity around
the world. Since 2006, the Forum has produced yearly
reports ranking the world's nations on gender—equality in key areas such as Economic opportunity,
political empowerment, health and education. The just-released 2015 findings are typical
of earlier reports. Rwanda, the Philippines and Nicaragua somehow get higher equity rankings
than the US, Australia, Canada and Denmark. Journalists, with few exceptions, have been
electrified by the Gender Gap Study. Many have praised it for showing just how backward
we are in the United States. The Factual Feminist has concerns about the
soundness of the gender gap study. The researchers are well-intentioned, but their study shows
a lack of common sense. This is strictly a study of gaps between the
sexes. If men and women in nation X are equally illiterate, disenfranchised, and just as likely
to die at an early age—that all but guarantees a high ranking. No gender gap—no problem.
But that isn't always true. Gaps favoring women are just fine. If women turn out to
be better educated, more likely to vote, less vulnerable to violence or early death—those
gaps can actually help a county in the rankings. Look at Russia. According to the Davos study,
Russian women enjoy 11 more healthy years of life than men. That is bad news for Russian
men—but great for Russia's standing in the studies "Healthy Life Expectancy"
A Davos report that honestly showed the burdens and benefits of women and men around the world
would be far more useful than this quirky, one-sided study. This 2004 chart from the
World Health Organization shows men throughout the world at vastly higher risk for injury
and violence. Gender gaps are complicated—but the World Economic Forum disguises that. It's
giving an over-simplified and distorted picture of what's really going on.
There are other troubling features: the study does not distinguish between free societies
and dictatorships, and it greatly rewards countries that use gender quotas in allocating
political positions. Countries that combine dictatorships and gender quotas (Cuba, Rwanda,
Burundi) are almost guaranteed "role model" status in the category of political empowerment.
Again, that is misleading. Rwanda's 2003 constitution establishes gender quotas for
the lower parliament. Women now occupy 64% of the seats. But that same constitution gives
the current president close to absolute power—including the right to dissolve the parliament. The
human rights watchdog group, Freedom House, gives Rwanda's failing grades where political
rights are concerned. In Mozambique and Burundi, almost everyone
(male and female) is in the full-time labor force. That improves their Davos ranking,
but is it a sign of progress and opportunity—or even true equality? These countries are not
bastions of gender equality—what they are is desperately poor and nearly everyone is
forced to work—men women and often children too. In wealthy countries like the U.S. and
Germany lot of mothers choose to work part time, or even leave the workforce when they
have children. But that creates gaps that get penalized by the Davos metrics.
This brings me to one of my most serious objection to the report: It promotes the idea that statistical
parity between the sexes in synonymous with justice, and well-being. But is that always
true? There is a serious body of psychological literature
that suggests that as countries grow richer and freer, the sexes become less alike. In
an earlier Factual Feminist video, I described a study where researchers looked at gender
and personality norms in 55 countries. Throughout the world, women tend to be more nurturing,
risk averse, and emotionally expressive, while men are more likely to be competitive, risk
taking, and stoical. But they found that personality differences between men and women are the
largest and most robust in the more prosperous, advanced industrial societies—like the US,
Canada, France, and Germany. Why should that be? The authors hypothesize that prosperity
and equality bring greater opportunities for self-actualization—men and women are empowered
to be who they most truly are. This cross-cultural research is far from conclusive, but it is
intriguing and it has great explanatory power. I recently read an Atlantic article about
women in tech. The author was surprised that Mexico and Turkey had far more female coders
than more progressive countries like Belgium and Switzerland—where women are far more
likely to go into health, education or the humanities. Why? Maybe it's because women
in wealthy countries women have the freedom and opportunity to be whatever they want to
be. I urge those at the World Economic Forum to
consider this tantalizing possibility: Gender gaps are not necessarily indicators of injustice
or discrimination. In countries like the United States or Norway they may be evidence of freedom
and happiness. My verdict: The report is misleading and confusing.
It is unlikely to do anything to advance genuine equality or well-being in the world. But it
may serve one important purpose; It tells us a lot about the sorry state of gender equity
research. What do you think of the World Economic Forum
gender gap study? Do you agree that it suffers from a common sense deficit? Am I missing
something here? Let me know in the comments. And I hope you follow me on Facebook and Twitter.
And subscribe to the series. Thank you for watching the Factual Feminist.

The Google Pixel Buds are mediocre headphones for most use cases but have a unique and open earbud design that some will prefer over typical in-ears. They're decently well-built and stable enough for sports thanks to their adjustable cable tips' design. They also have a compact case that extends their battery life up to 24 hours. Unfortunately, they have a slightly disappointing sound and their open earbuds barely block any noise so they will not be ideal for commuting and loud environments.
They are mediocre-at-best mixed usage headphones with a few unique features. They're decently comfortable and stable thanks to their earbud design and adjustable stability tips. They're also compact enough to fit into most pockets and come with a charging case that gives them a total of 24hrs of battery life. Unfortunately, they barely block any noise which makes them poorly suited for loud environments and commuting. Their sound also lacks quite a bit of bass which won't be ideal for most listeners.
Mediocre-at-best for neutral listening. They have a poorly balanced sound that lacks a lot of sub-bass due to their open earbud design but also sounds boomy. This makes these earbuds sound a bit lackluster although instruments and vocals are well reproduced. Unfortunately, although better than most in-ears they do not have the best soundstage. On the upside, they're comfortable enough to wear for long listening sessions.See our Neutral Sound recommendations
Not suitable for commuting or traveling. The open design lets in a lot of ambient noise, which is not suitable for loud environments.See our Commute/Travel recommendations
Good for sports and running outdoors. They have adjustable stability tips that make them stable enough to exercise with for most. They're also lightweight and very breathable. However, their unique design is not as stable as some of the wireless in-ears we've tested and their control scheme could be a bit more precise.See our Sports/Fitness recommendations
Sub-par for office use. The open design of these earbuds makes them poorly suitable for lively or noisy work environments. On the upside, they do not leak too much so you won't be distracting to those around you.See our Office recommendations
Sub-par for gaming. They have a mediocre microphone, they lack customization options and have a bit too much latency to be suitable for gaming.See our Wireless Gaming recommendations
These are well-designed and slick-looking earbuds that, unfortunately, are not truly wireless. They have a unique shape and a decently small footprint with smooth plastic casings for the earbuds that feel durable. Their behind-the-head cable design is somewhat similar to the Jaybird X3 or Bose SoundSport Wireless, but unlike those headphones, the Google Pixel Buds' cable is braided and also doubles as adjustable stability tips.
They have an open earbud fit with a unique adjustable stability tips/fins mechanism that helps them stay securely in your ears. They do not put any pressure within the ear canal, and they're incredibly lightweight which makes them less noticeable once you get used to the fit. Unfortunately, the earbud design is not angled like the Apple AirPods and does not sit as well in the notch of your outer ear, which may be an issue for some listeners.
The Google Pixel Buds offer a decent set of touch-sensitive controls. You can play or pause your music by double tapping on the right earbud. Tap and hold activate Google assistant and swiping up or down changes the volume. Unfortunately, feedback and ease-of-use are not the best. The touch-sensitive control scheme is subject to a lot of erroneous inputs when sliding your finger up or down or double tapping. It's sometimes just easier to pull your phone out and just change the track of volume directly on the device than with the headphones, which is a little disappointing.
Like most wireless in-ears and earbuds, the Google Pixel Buds are easy to carry around on your person thanks to their compact size and high portability. Unfortunately, they're not as small as some of the truly wireless headphones we've tested that comes with a charging case, like the Jaybird Run or the Samsung Gear IconX, due to their relatively thick cable. However, unlike those truly wireless headsets, you can let the Google Buds rest around your neck when you're not using them without needing to immediately put them back in their case (in fear of losing or misplacing an earbud).
These earbuds come with a decently well design and compact case. It will protect your earbuds from drops and accidental impacts but not against water damage. Also, the case is covered in a denim-like fabric which looks nice and matches the design language of the Google Home Mini but feels a little cheap when compared to the AirPods or the Sony WF-1000x's case.
These earbuds are well-designed and feel decently durable. The casing feels sturdy enough to withstand a couple of accidental drops without much damage to the headset. The braided cable that links the two earbuds is thick and won't snap easily from physical stress or getting tangled up in your clothes. However, their overall design does not feel as premium or as aesthetically pleasing as the AirPods or the Samsung IconX, which is a little disappointing. On the upside, they're not as pricey.
The Google Pixel Buds are stable enough for running as long as you adjust the cable stability tips to fit just right for your ears. Unlike the AirPods, this makes them a bit more stable for a wider range of listeners but if the stability tips are not the right fit, the earbuds will easily fall out of your ears even while walking.
The Google Pixel Buds have a surprisingly great frequency response consistency. In the bass range, the maximum amount of deviation is less than 1dB which is excellent. In the treble range the maximum deviation is about 4dB at 3KHz, which is good. It should be noted, however, that frequency response consistency is highly dependent on a proper fit and seal, does not take stability into account, and may require some technique and getting-used-to especially with earbuds.
The bass of the Google Pixel Buds is poor. Their low-frequency extension (LFE) is at 53Hz, meaning they won't be able to produce the low-end thump and rumbles common to bass-heavy music like EDM and Hip-hop. Accordingly, they lack low-bass by about 16dB which is quite poor. However, mid-bass and high-bass, which are responsible for the body of bass guitars and the punch of kick drums, are overemphasized by up to 8dB, which adds a significant amount of boominess to the sound and won't quite compensate for the lack of low-bass. It should be noted, however, that low-bass is quite difficult to hear, especially on headphones, and is more felt than heard. Because of that, the lack of sub-bass may not be significant if the source material doesn't have a lot of sub-bass (like classical music or podcasts), but the excessive mid-bass and high-bass will be.
The mid-range performance of the Google Pixel Buds is decent. The overall response is quite even, but the 5dB bump in low-mid, which is the continuation of the high-bass overemphasis, adds muddiness and clutter to the mix and makes vocals thick and slightly muffled.
The Google Pixel Buds have a great treble range performance. The overall response is quite consistent, but low-treble and mid-treble are consistently over our target by about 3dB. This adds a bit of excess brightness and presence to vocals, leads, and cymbals. This, combined with the overemphasized bass results in a slight "V-shaped" or "smiley-face" sound profile.
The imaging performance of the Pixel Buds is about average. They show audible amounts of group delay in the bass range which results in a slightly soft and loose basses and kicks. The jump in group delay above 18KHz won't be audible to most and is due to the Bluetooth connection. Our test unit showed noticeable amounts of amplitude mismatch between the left and right buds, but this seemed to be related to fit and seal rather than driver mismatch. The mismatch in frequency and phase response is low enough to not be audible to most users.
Like most other earbuds and in-ears, they have a poor soundstage. Due to their design, they bypass the pinna and don't interact with it. Pinna interaction/activation is one of the big factors in giving the sense of a large and out-of-head soundstage, therefore, the soundstage of the Google Buds will be perceived to be small and located inside the listener's head as opposed to in front. However, because of the open design which is similar to the Apple AirPods, they sound more open and spacious than closed in-ears.
The isolation provided by the Pixel Buds is poor. This is due to their open-back and earbud design, which like the AirPods, results in very low isolation. They don't isolate in the bass and mid-ranges, so they will let in all the low rumbling sounds of airplane and bus engines, as well as the chatter of people around. In the treble range, occupied by fan noises, as well as sharp sounds like S and Ts, the isolate b only 5dB which is inadequate. These are one of the most open headphones we have measured so far, which makes them suitable for situations where you want to be able to hear your environment.
These Google Pixel Buds have a good leakage performance. The significant portion of their leakage is in the treble range from 3KHz up to 20KHz. This is a relatively broad range, but the overall level of leakage is not too loud and it will mostly consist of high-pitched sounds like cymbals and sibilances (S and T sounds). With the music at 100dB SPL the leakage at 1 foot away averages at 37dB SPL but peaks at 64dB SPL which is noticeably louder than the noise floor of an average office. Therefore, at high volumes and in quiet environments, people around you may be able to hear the leakage.
The Pixel Buds' microphone has a decent recording quality. LFE is at 84Hz, resulting in a recorded/transmitted speech that will sound full. However, the HFE (high-frequency extension) is at 3.4KHz, which means speech will lack presence and detail. However, this won't have a big negative impact on speech intelligibility since that's mostly dependent on the 500Hz-3KHz range. The region between the LFE and HFE is captured well which helps with a natural sound.
We noticed that the microphone has a tendency to distort on PCs, and the recorded speech files are distorted because of that. However, their microphone sounds clean on smartphones.
The noise handling of the integrated microphone of the Pixel buds is mediocre. They achieved about 14dB of speech-to-noise ratio in our SpNR test, which means they will perform well in quiet environments. But they will struggle to separate speech from ambient noise even in moderately loud situations.
We noticed that the microphone has a tendency to distort on PCs, and the recorded speech files are distorted because of that. However, their microphone sounds clean on smartphones.
The Google Pixel Buds will play continuously for 5 hours but can be recharged with the case up to 4.5 times. This gives them an overall battery life of 22 to 23 hours, which is great but they won't be ideal for very heavy users with long listening sessions. On the upside, charging the headphones is pretty intuitive, and they automatically switch off, if you're not playing anything, to conserve power.
The Google Pixel Buds do not have a companion app but have a few features on Android worth mentioning. When opening the case, the Google Buds automatically start a pairing procedure and Google Assistant set up with the Pixel and Pixel 2 phones. This also works on some other Android devices, (with Android 6.0 or higher) but unfortunately, they do not get the benefit of the translation feature only available on the Google phones for now. Like the AirPods and iOS, the Google Pixel Buds are a lot more optimized for Android, but since they do not have a proper app support, so there are no additional features like EQs or room effects to customize their sound profile.
They have a fairly easy-to-pair Bluetooth connection. You can connect simultaneously up to two devices and have up to 8 devices stored in memory for automatic pairing when you open the case. Unfortunately, they do not have NFC which would have made pairing with multiple devices a lot easier.
Like most Bluetooth headphones, they have a bit too much latency to be ideal for watching movies or playing video games.
They have no wired option. If you want a good sounding wired in-ear, check the 1More Triple Driver.
The case provides 4.5 additional charges when the headphones are docked. Unfortunately, it provides no additional features or Input/Output options, and you also need the case to pair the headphones to new devices which is not ideal.
These are the first Google-made headphones. They have a unique design and convenient features but are somewhat lacking compared to the headphones below. They're also not truly wireless. On the upside, they have a good build quality that feels durable enough to last you a while, and they come with a great charging case that gives them over 24Hrs of battery life in total which is great and means they will last a lot longer than most wireless in-ears and earbuds. See our recommendations for the best wireless earbuds, the best earbuds with a mic, and the best earbuds and in-ears.
The Bose SoundSport Free are better earbuds than the Google PixelBuds. The SoundSport Free sound a lot more balanced than the Pixel Buds, despite having a semi-open fit they still pack a lot of bass and cater well to all genres, unlike the PixelBuds. They're also a bit more comfortable than the thanks to their softer earbud tips and their build quality feels a bit more durable than that of the google headphones. On the upside, the Pixel Buds have a longer cumulative battery life and since their fit is adjustable they will be a bit more suitable for all ear shapes and sizes.
The Amazon Echo Buds Truly Wireless are much better headphones than the Google Pixel Buds Wireless. The Echo Buds are much more portable due to their truly wireless design, isolate ambient noises much better, and have much more accurate bass and mid response. On the other hand, the Pixel Buds have better controls and a slightly better microphone.
The Apple AirPods are much better wireless headphone overall than the Google Pixel Buds. The AirPods have a more comfortable fit, especially for those used to the Apple one-size-fits-all earbud design. They also have a better build quality and unlike the Pixel Buds, they are truly wireless and each earbud can be used independently of each other. The AirPods also have a slightly better sound even if they do not have a lot of bass. On the upside, the Pixel Buds are a lot more stable for physical activity and sports. Their adjustable earbud fit design also caters to more listeners than the AirPods.
The Jaybird X3 are a better and more versatile wireless headphone than the Google Pixel Buds. The X3 have a more isolating in-ear fit which makes them a bit more suitable for commuting and loud environments. They have a better sound quality which you can also EQ since they have an app, unlike the Pixel Buds. On the upside, the Pixel Buds have a longer 24hr battery life and since their fit is adjustable they will be a bit more suitable for all ear shapes and sizes. Their open fit also makes them a better option if you run outdoors often and need to monitor your environment for traffic or obstacles.
The Beats BeatsX are a much better headphone than the Google Pixel Buds. The BeatsX have a much better isolation performance thanks to their in-ear fit. They also sound better, have a longer wireless range and charge a lot faster delivering over an hours worth of playback from a 5 minutes charge. The Pixel Buds, on the other hand, have a much the better battery life overall at 24 hours of cumulative playback, compared to the 6 hours for the BeatsX. They're also a bit more suitable for outdoor runners thanks to their open earbud fit, which some will find a lot more comfortable than the in-ear design of the BeatsX.

I've chased my dreams for many years.. moving from Iowa to Colorado to California and back to my hometown in Iowa.. God has directed my steps and led me to some amazing producers and musicians. I have performed my own solo gigs, sang in some amazing bands and have led worship in several places.
I grew up on a farm near Sioux City, Iowa and have dreamed about a singing career for as long as I can remember. Music has always been what moved me the most and what I wanted to do in my life. I left home for college at 18 and learned a lot about life while being on my own.
In 1994 I graduated from the University of South Dakota with a degree in Psychology, but was not sure what to do next. A couple months after graduating, I went through a major life changing spiritual experience, I was touched by an angel Oct 23, 1994 and turned my life over to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Right after this, I started a job at Gateway computers and learned how to fix computers.
I did IT Tech Support work full-time for 22yrs to support myself.. but as I have grown up in the Lord through the years, I have learned to use my gift of music for glorifying the King of Kings and uplifting others through writing, recording and singing spiritual songs and hymns. I love to share the music God gives me with the whole world! Modern technology has made this task much easier! I now do music ministry full-time and have released 5 albums.. working on the next!
I'm passionate about using music to uplift and inspire others.. making a positive impact on this world!
Everything you do is good
" Love this song. Everything you do is so good :)"
All Glory to Christ our Lord and King.. He enables me to sing what is in my heart and share it with others. From a young age, i've been singing and listening to all the great famous artists.. starting with Elvis Presley, then to Mariah Carey, Whitney etc. I started singing in high school and then onto karaoke contests.. then to studios with producers, where I learned to write my own songs. The lyrics and melodies come to me quickly and each song has a significant meaning in my heart. I have found my voice!
You sound angelic
"Your voice is angelic and sounds like angels singing.. it brings us into the presence of God. "
When he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Chronicles 20:21
Beautiful voice and song
"You never seem to disappoint me. Very beautiful song! Very beautiful lyrics! and very beautiful voice! I'm always happy to hear work from you!"
"Your voice is beautiful!!! Such a refreshing tone!"

Lover of the Lord ~ Singer/Songwriter of the soul

*Dana Freakin' Delany will be on Jimmy Kimmel. In her last Kimmel interview, she talked about using homemade whipped cream for... fun...
On Tuesday, April 5, she'll be on The Talk and on Tavis Smiley. Obviously she'll be promoting her new show, Body of Proof, which I think is decent. And she's so gorgey in it.
Plus, there was a little lezzie subtext between her and Jeri Ryan's character.
Jeri Ryan: I will deal with Dr. Hunt (Dana Delany) in my own way.
Me: I'm sure you will *wink*
*Eva Longoria will be on The View.
And on Wednesday, she'll be on Letterman. Apparently she has a pretty decent cookbook coming out.
*Sophia Bush will be on Craig Ferguson.
*Sarah Shahi will be on Lopez Tonight.
I'm pretty sure she'll be promoting Arthur, which makes me sad because the original Liza is classic.
*Ellen Page will be on Craig Ferguson.
*Elisha Cuthbert will be on Jimmy Kimmel, promoting her new show with Happy Endings.
Even though she made me want the terrorists to win because she was so annoying in 24, I really liked her in My Sassy Girl, sooo...
*Also, it's Eliza Coupe's birthday, who is also in Happy Endings with Elisha Cuthbert (and is also the real reason why I'm considering actually watching the show because she was so frantastic as Denise in Scrubs).
*It's Robin Wright's birthday! So in love with this woman.

Odyssey's grand opening takes place on May 18th, 2019, starting at Ushuaïa Ibiza from midday to midnight, where clubbers will be able to party through the daytime and sunset at one of Ibiza's truly breathtaking venues. Then, at midnight, the party faithful will move across the road to Ibiza's leading and most technologically advanced venue Hï Ibiza to dance the night away right through until midday on Sunday.
The line-up for this unmissable party will soon be revealed but expect a collection of world-class acts, special guests showcasing the very best in house and techno, a unique and awe-inspiring production created especially for this event and much more in what is sure to be one of the hottest opening party tickets on the island, and first 24-hour, indoor/outdoor event of its kind on Ibiza.
For the ultimate opening party experience, clubbers can opt for a 24-hour pass which gives access to both venues for the duration of the event, or individual day or night passes. Both 24 Hour Passes and individual tickets can be bought at www.odyssey.art

Rangoon had a very poor start at the Box-Office as the film raked in around Rs 6.07 crore on its opening day.
The Shahid Kapoor – Kangana Ranaut film recorded very low occupancy throughout the day and there was not much of growth even in the evening and night shows. The film was benefitted a bit by the Maha Shivratri Holiday and the collections would have been even worse on a regular Friday.
The budget of Rangoon is on the higher side and the opening day number in itself has sealed the fate of the film. To have any sort of chance, the film has to touch the double digit mark on Sunday and have a strong hold on Monday at collections equivalent to the opening day.

"Read to me some of what you're reading," my not-quite-three-year-old would say at bedtime.
When she first asked, I thought that I would seize the opportunity to read something that she would find boring enough to fall asleep to while listening: Virgil's Aeneid.
Unfortunately, as I read on and on, she grew interested in it. She'd actually foiled my plan to induce sleep by epic poem.
"Okay," I thought to myself. "If I'm going to read something to her, I may as well read something that interests me."
At first, I started reading T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, but once The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock popped into my head, I abandoned the longer poem in favour of Prufrock.
To my utter surprise, she loved it. She asked questions; she asked me to repeat words and to repeat lines and to repeat stanzas. I read through it more than once that night — then, I read it to her every night for years.
I wrote down many of her statements and questions about the poem — here are a few.
April 29, 2012 (5 years old):
Me: 'Am not Prince Hamlet…nor was meant to be.'
Frances: I think he is lying; I think he IS the prince.
Me: Do you mean that he is more like those people than he realizes?
April 16, 2013 (5 years old):
Frances: Who is he talking to? Maybe a princess who is about to be married?
August 24, 2013 (6 years old):
Frances: Are there other voices, other songs of Prufrock?

I've been a bad, bad girl. I have no excuses for the lack of a Nominations post for the next TAYV Movie night. Before I realized it, I looked at the calendar and why...look at that! October is next week! So I've come here today to ask for forgiveness! Please! Mercy! ...? Actually, instead of unsightly pleading, I'm here with a suggestion for the month of October. Hear me out, TAY!
Autumn's here and that means a lot of things. Apple picking, pumpkin pies, jack o' lanterns, Halloween, critters, zombies, axe wielding crazy people, leaves changing the colour of blood...oranges. Uh, what? Anyway, it got me thinking. For Thursday nights in October, why don't we hold Scary Movie Nights? Scary funny movies, bad scary movies, scary scary movies... some light on gore and scares movies so GBD can actually attend one of these...
What I'll need from you my TAYter Tots are a bunch of suggestions for movies you'd like to see. I won't hold this every week to nominate the next movie but instead, just give me suggestions and once we get to the nomination stage, you guys get to nominate 4 movies of your choice. I see that there are actually 5 Thursdays in October but since the last is actually Halloween Night and some of us may have ghoulish plans, we can leave that one up in the air.
This also leaves me super excited to see what our Resident Evil Furby, Aikage will host for a themed Cooking with TAY.
So... rambling aside, please start throwing suggestions in the comments. I also have not forgotten the other suggestions from the last movie night post but I'm thinking we'll resume a normal movie night again for those in November. Of course, this is open to debate too, so leave your thoughts in the comments.
What say you, TAY?
Please leave your suggestions for movies or ideas in the comments!
*ScareTAY Cats has been trademarked by Aikage. Good one, Aikage.

Title : HISTOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF ENZYMES, ESPECIALLY OXIDASES AND PHOSPHATASES IN THE LIVING BODY.
Descriptive Note : Final rept. 29 Jul 64-28 Jul 65,

Abstract : A gigantic peroxidase granule was detected in the polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes of the giant salamander, Megalobatrachus japonicus. The granule resembles the gigantism of the peroxidase granule that was recognized in human blood disease (Chediak and Higashi's disease). It is of interest that one of pathological characters of human leukocytes was found in an apparently healthy salamander. The pigmented leukocytes were found only in cold-blood animals such as reptiles and amphibia. These leukocytes could never be detected in man, mammals, birds and fishes. The pigmented leukocytes lack both peroxidase and PAS reacting substance suggesting that granules of the pigmented leukocytes are melanin injested in the blood forming organs. The peroxidase negative eosinophil leukocytes were detected in the liver tissue of Xenopus laevis Daudin. The lack of this enzyme in the eosinophil leukocyte suggests a profound philogenetical gap in comparative hematology. (Author)

BDO launches Diners Club by BDO
MANILA, Philippines – Local financial giant BDO Unibank, Inc. is now the exclusive issuer of Diners Club International Credit Cards in the Philippines.
This newly-forged partnership between BDO and American financial services company Discover, which owns Diners Club International, was formally launched in a media event at the Sage Bespoke Grill, Makati Shangri-La on May 24, Thursday.
"We're so excited to have BDO on as the Diners franchise here in the Philippines. This is an incredibly important market to Diners Club International, and having a partner like BDO is incredibly fantastic for us," Joe Hurley, Senior Vice President and head of Global Business Development for Discover told members of the press.
Established in 1950, Diners Club International holds the distinction of being the first multi-purpose charge card in the world. Initially a mere cardboard card, it's credited to have reshaped the world of global finance through the years.
"Diners is a card that's been there for quite some time. The challenge really for us – and it's exciting – is how do you make an old, durable card like Diners, a very strong brand, into something that keeps evolving because of the target market that's getting younger, more digital?
"We wracked our brains a lot about doing that. It keeps us alive, keeps us always on our toes," Roland C. Tanchangco, BDO Executive Vice President and Consumer Lending Group Head, said.
Credit cards that 'improve luxury beyond measure'
Two types of credit cards will be issued under this partnership: BDO Diners Club International Credit Card and BDO Diners Club Premiere Credit Card.
Both cards afford its holders a host of benefits including access to more than 800 airport lounges worldwide; free travel insurance; and other global offers on dining, travel, and entertainment.
Best of all, cardholders who are also frequent travelers would be happy to know that by using these cards, they get 1 instant mile for every P50 and P30 peso purchase, respectively – one of the lowest spend requirements to earn miles in the industry – that they can earn even faster when they avail the Miles Booster Programs.
The BDO Diners Club Credit Cards are the newest additions to BDO's extensive line-up of credit card offerings – the largest and widest in the Philippines.
"As an ideal complement to our credit cards business line, we introduce the BDO Diners Club Credit Cards to further expand the dining and travel perks and privileges we offer our cardholders," Tanchangco said in a press release.
