Meryl Streep's impassioned speech against Donald Trump while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award at Sunday's awards has been heard like a battle cry in a left-leaning Hollywood that has been trying to reconcile itself to a Trump presidency it overwhelmingly didn't vote for.
Speaking in a hoarse voice that quivered with emotion, Meryl Streep silenced a boisterous Golden Globes crowd and sparked a clamor heard around the country, all the way to Trump Tower.
Streep's impassioned speech against Donald Trump while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award at Sunday's awards has been heard like a battle cry in a left-leaning Hollywood that has been trying to reconcile itself to a Trump presidency it overwhelmingly didn't vote for. Her speech has also further intensified the divide between Hollywood and Trump supporters, who call Streep another example of media elite on a soapbox.
Though Trump is yet to take office, the arts and the President-elect are increasingly on a collision course. Trump has criticized the cast of "Hamilton," which voiced its concerns about inclusion to Vice President-elect Mike Pence when he went to see the show on Broadway. Seeing political parallels in its story of underdog rebellion, some Trump supporters called for a boycott of the "Star Wars" film "Rogue One." And now, following Streep's remarks, he on Monday called the most decorated actress in Hollywood "overrated," even though he in 2015 called her one of his favorites actresses and "a fine person, too."
With such institutions as "Star Wars" and Streep in the crosshairs, the culture wars have gone nuclear. Battle lines and boycotts are being formed ahead of the Jan. 20 Inauguration, at which some entertainers have refused to perform. Some conservatives have already vowed on social media not to watch the Feb. 26th Academy Awards, which promises to be rife with political protest.
How the growing discord will affect the tenor in the arts for the next four years remains to be seen. But what was clear Monday in the wake of Streep's galvanizing speech is that the clash is just getting started. In a night where the song-and-dance ode to musicals "La La Land" set a Globes record with seven wins, including best picture, musical or comedy, Streep's speech had the largest impact.
"There has never been anyone like Meryl," applauded Ellen DeGeneres on Twitter. "I've never admired you more!" tweeted Sally Field. "Nearly without voice, her voice has never been so strong," lauded Sharon Stone. "Thank you, Meryl," wrote director Darren Aronofsky.
George Clooney at a screening Monday in London defended Streep's right to speak her mind: "It's her right, and I support her right forever — as much as it's everyone else's right to say she can't say it."
Political speeches at an award show — a little-loved, often ridiculed tradition — have seldom reverberated so strongly. Streep largely argued for empathy, inclusivity and the arts. And she claimed Hollywood wasn't a bastion of elites, but "a bunch of people from other places." Streep didn't use Trump's name, but spoke directly about him.
"It kind of broke my heart when I saw it," Streep said of Trump's mocking of a disabled reporter during the campaign . "I still can't get it out of my head because it wasn't in a movie, it was real life. And this instinct to humiliate, when it's modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody's life, because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose."
She also urged support for the Committee to Protect Journalists , a media advocacy group, "because we're gonna need them going forward and they'll need us to safeguard the truth." On Monday, Joel Simon, executive director of the CPJ, said Streep's comments inspired "a huge upsurge" in donations and awareness.
"We received 500 donations last night and a couple hundred more this morning," said Simon, who said the ongoing donations totaled about $60,000 as of early Monday afternoon. "People are feeling very energized and impassioned."
Conservative pundits, though, saw Streep's speech as a reflection of the bicoastal liberal pomposity that Trump's election was in part a rejection of, regardless of his own show business affiliations. "This is exactly why Hollywood is dying, what a bunch of hypocrites," said Fox's Sean Hannity. "The Meryl Streep speech is why Trump won," said Meghan McCain, also a Fox personality. "And if people in Hollywood don't start recognizing why and how — you will help him get re-elected."
Early Monday morning came Trump's tweets. He called Streep, a longtime and outspoken Democrat who stumped for Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention and famously imitated Trump at a Clinton fundraiser, "a Hillary flunky who lost big." He called the allegation that he mocked a disabled reporter "more very dishonest media."
The tweets provoked their own response. Soon, lists of other things that Trump finds "overrated" were trending. Author Stephen King called his comments about Streep "childish, churlish, petulant ... exactly why most Americans fear his presidency."
At the White House, press secretary Josh Earnest said that Streep had clearly delivered "a thoughtful, carefully considered message" that reflected her deeply held beliefs.
"It seemed to me to be a fairly straightforward exercise of her First Amendment rights, as this is the United States," Earnest said.
The Globes telecast drew 20 million viewers on NBC, according to the Nielsen company, an 8 percent increase from last year. It's a positive sign for the Academy Awards, which will hope political debate fuels interest in this year's ceremony, to be hosted by ABC's Jimmy Kimmel — rather than turns off viewers whose views don't align with Hollywood's.

|Red Bank Register (Monmouth County, New Jersey)
23 July 1924 page 1
So now I know that Herman was not an only child. He had a sister with three children in Germany, as well as a brother, Otto, here in New Jersey. A preliminary search of my own records shows that Otto appeared once in the Newark city directories in 1893; occupation blacksmith; residing at 36 Beacon. He died Sunday, 11 July 1909, aged 64 years; leaving behind a widow, Martha. Their address was 513 Middlesex in Harrison. The notice of death appeared in the Newark Evening News on 12 July 1909. He was buried at Woodland Cemetery in Newark in section 69; no tombstone exists; the undertaker was Schott. I have all of this information already because I collected whatever information I could find on any Lutters in Newark.
Otto and Martha seemed to have only one child who survived to adulthood: Augusta or Gussie. She married James Kittson. I have found only one child of hers, a son named James Kittson, born around 1920. I need to find out what happened to this Kittson family.
I also need to get copies of the actual will and related estate papers. This is very exciting to finally find more family for Herman. But the witness to his 1888 marriage to Clara Uhl still looks like Alex Lutter. Who was he?
According to Herman's death certificate, he was buried at Fairmount Cemetery in Newark, but no records of such a burial have been located. No gravestone, never mind one costing at least $600, has been located for Herman.

There's a new Dragon in town - the Bronze Dragon for 2 pin in-ear monitors (IEMs). In a brief interview this week, Moon Audio founder and chief engineer Drew shared why his company created a new Dragon. "We noticed some IEMs sound thin and cold," Drew explained, "and that's easy to understand given the challenge of creating spacious and warm sounds from something plugged into our ears."
Standing in Moon Audio's Cary, North Carolina showroom Drew continued, "Easy to understand why IEMs sound thin when you realize those," pointing to a pair of MK Sound SS 150 speakers, "have to become these," holding up a pair of JH Audio Roxanne IEMs.
Must become these
New Bronze Dragon Headphones Cables
Some two pin earphones need help to create "muscle" in the low end Drew told me. Muscle, depth, and warmth is something we hear and feel most when our audio gear is matched to produce the best sound.
Cables play a crucial role in how 2 pin Jerry Harvey Audio (JH Audio) JH16 Pro or any Noble Audio IEM sound - their "sound signatures." I asked about "sound signatures." Drew shared an analogy - Stradivarius violins. "Strads are prized for their sound, "Drew said. "All violin makers use wood, glue, and varnish but Stradivarius violins sound different and better." Audio gear such as headphones, speakers, turntables, digital audio converters (DACs), and digital audio players (DAPs) have sound signatures too. Neutrality is nirvana in high fidelity audio.
Searching For Neutral
The very best audio gear does the least Drew explained. "Coloring" or masking the original recording with sound artifacts or distortion is what audiophiles don't want. But there's an ironic problem - the less audio gear does, the more expensive it often becomes.
"Just like life," Drew said about to play Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon on vinyl through my dream system, "making audio gear requires tradeoffs."
By adding warmth and muscle to low end sound Moon Audio's new Bronze Dragon cables help 2-pin IEMs sound better.
Drew's Cable Obsession
Cables can be overlooked by headphones and IEM makers. "Focus for most IEM makers is creating great miniature drivers and crossovers," Drew explained. Headphones cables, often outsourced, can color or distort the sound.
"We care more about sound than our R&D costs," Drew explained. "Our focus is creating cables to help high-end headphones and gear sound better." Music and sound are a subjective experience. Personal preference plays a considerable role in what Dragon is right for a customer.
The Right Dragons
As Drew shares in his Train Your Dragon video, each Dragon cable has "personality" and a mission.
- Silver Dragon - Emphasis on mid to upper sounds so headphones soundstage feels larger yet more intimate like your head is a stage.
- Black Dragon - Adds lower and mid-range depth, warmth, and presence.
- Blue Dragon - Stays neutral and is best matched with neutral sounding gear.
- Bronze Dragon IEM - Designed to round out the sound of older 2 pin in-ear monitors (IEMs) such as Alien Ears G16 and Gorilla Ears GX-8.
Find a complete list 2-pin IEMs Drew's new Bronze Dragons help in the SPECS tab of the Moon-Audio.com product page (linked below). If you've upgraded with a Bronze Dragon Drew wants your feedback, experience, and thoughts. Please add your review to Moon Audio's Bronze Dragon page.

Coming out of Manchester in the early 1960s, Herman's Hermits, fronted by Peter Noone, forged a timeless career on the strength of some truly classic hits, four of which landed in the Top 3 in the United States.
After the Hermits went their separate ways in 1971, Noone began a lengthy solo career and, eventually, began touring as Herman's Hermits starring Peter Noone, something he continues doing to this day.
Recently, Noone caught up with Rock Cellar's Ken Sharp for a spirited one-on-one interview that serves as our latest RockCellarTV edition — enjoy their conversation about Noone's first experiences coming to America, the band's beginnings, his inspirations, how British bands of his era "copied" American music and much more.
And here's a bonus bit of soundcheck from Noone and his band!
Noone joins the ranks of those we've spoken with in this capacity over the past few months, a list that includes Steve Hackett, John Oates, Rick Springfield, Gene Simmons of KISS, Steve Lukather of Toto, Mike Love of the Beach Boys, Todd Rundgren, Ringo Starr and more.

This year, my Halloween weekend consisted of work in the Saidaiji area and lots of exploring in the Kansai capital, Osaka!
After finishing team-teaching classes at my favorite (and only!) JHS on Friday, Trevor and I headed up north to Osaka city, where we would be spending the weekend for my business trip and for our Halloween adventure. My Principal and Vice Principal expressed some concern with having me drive to somewhere as busy as Osaka, but I reassured them that everything would be okay and that I would always be careful while driving.
Actually, driving to Osaka was not as bad as I expected it to be. Everyone warned me of how traffic-ridden it would be, but to me, it didn't seem too hectic…
I think what threw me off was how expensive the toll roads here are. I heard from my predecessor and from many other sources that toll roads were pricey, but I really didn't expect them to be almost ¥1000 per toll booth! I was lucky enough to have enough cash on me to pay for the tolls to get around…
Anyways, here's a breakdown of what we did for our Halloween weekend:
Friday, October 30:
We arrived at our hotel around 7pm, three hours after we left Totsukawa. We walked to DenDen Town to try and look at some of the hobby and electronic goods stores, but unfortunately, many of them had closed early. (Our hotel was about a 20 min walk from the more busier parts of the city)
After our leisurely walk around the city, we settled in for the night in preparation for a JETNet event that would be taking place the next morning.
Saturday, October 31 (Halloween!):
So a little bit about JETNet Events:
"Nara JETNet is an association comprised of Nara JETs that runs events with the goal of grassroots internationalization in local communities of Nara Prefecture." Nara JETNet started out in 2001 and runs free events for the public, about 3-4 times a year (pretty much once per season)
JETNet is unique to Nara in that it was awarded a prize by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications for its achievements in: promoting international exchange; increasing awareness of the JET Programme; and facilitating cooperation between JET participants.
(Totally pulled this from the packet I received on JETNet at Nara orientation haha)
We left Osaka and drove back to Nara prefecture in Saidaiji, where the event would be held. It was about a 30 min drive and after finding parking and walking towards the station to meet up with the CIRs
frantically and constantly thinking I was late, we arrived safely and ready to interact with Japanese participants!
I had signed up beforehand to be a team leader to help the event out and I'm glad I did! The group I had was amazing and we were able to interact with one another without feeling forced or awkward. It was a very relaxed setting as we walked from Saidaiji to the Heijo palace ruins where we had lunch and then did activities and games afterwards.
The hike consisted of walking through residential areas that led to a shrine, a beautiful park, and finally to the Heijo Palace Ruins. During this walk was when we were able to interact with our group members.
After lunch and doing an ice-breaker of 2 truths and 1 lie, groups rotated between activities and games, consisting of Wink Murder, Hawk and Sparrow, One-Leg Sumo Wrestling, and Petanque.
After departing ways, Trevor and I began to head back to the parking lot when we decided to take a detour through the Heijo Palace grounds. A festival had occurred earlier that day, so colorful flags were still erected around the grounds, and a large dragon statue made out of what looked to be the remains of nature and other random things stood in the middle.
Walking through the palace grounds was a great way to end the work day. I'm reminded of how beneficial these kinds of events are not just for JET participants, but to the public as well. I had a lot of fun and I could tell many of the Japanese participants also had a great time. I hope to see these same participants again at future JETNet events!
The sun was already setting when we left Nara, so by the time we got back to the hotel, it was already dark. At least we were lucky enough to visit some of the stores in DenDen Town before they closed down around, a lot of them closing between 7-8pm.
At some point while we were walking, we saw our first maid cafe… I guess we could have gone in for dinner… but we opted for Mexican!
A highlight of the night was eating at a small joint called Queen Tacos. To be honest, I was so thrown off when I saw that this particular place served actual tacos. I've constantly heard that you couldn't find Mexican food in Japan, so I never expected to be eating a taco, especially in a very small restaurant.
Sunday, November 1 (Umeda and Tsumahashi):
For months we have been planning on visiting the IKEA in Osaka to buy a new bed. We took this opportunity to go to IKEA this day, but beforehand, we decided to explore more of what Osaka had to offer.
We decided to head to the famous Pokemon Center in Umeda Station! Prior to that, we were able to meet up with my friend Eri (the same person whose family helped Trevor when he first arrived in Japan!) and thanks to her guidance, we not only toured around the Pokemon Center, but we were also able to go to the Pom Pom Purin Cafe, somewhere Eri has always wanted to take me 🙂
The Pokemon Center was awesome! Sadly, the Pokemon door that I always saw in Google Images was non-existent; Eri told me that because they moved the store to a different floor of the train station, the door was not able to be built along with it… So sad.
The Pom Pom Purin Cafe had a line with customers waiting to eat there… luckily it was only a 10-15 min wait until the three of us were seated in the cutesy-themed restaurant.
I ordered a Thai-style coconut curry meal that tasted almost exactly like the Thai curry my mom makes at home… the big difference? No spiciness… at all. It was so good, but my mom's curry- the spiciness makes a big difference! Big points for the cute presentation though. Eri ordered dessert- being it is the Pom Pom Purin Cafe, it only makes sense to have プリン! (pudding)
After walking around part of Umeda, we parted ways, with Trevor and I heading to Tsumahashi, where the Osaka IKEA stood. Getting to this IKEA was very interesting: we had to drive across the bay on a very tall and long bridge that extended from the mainland to a man-made island where the IKEA was.
I won't really get into what the IKEA was like… it was pretty much like the IKEA back home in Minnesota, but the eating area was much bigger with traditional Japanese dishes that can be chosen alongside the famous Swedish meatballs that IKEA is known for. We found a nice bed and were ready to head home until… the boxes didn't fit in the car. -_- Luckily, Trevor had the idea of taking everything out of the boxes, which was perfect because that really took down the size of everything and we were able to head home to Totsukawa with not only a new bed, but goodies from the Pokemon Center, and lots of photos Trevor took to highlight this perfect Halloween weekend.

Hey there! This is my first post on this blog so I should probably introduce myself… right?
My name is Cat, I'm 16 and I'm from Lisbon, Portugal. You know, that tiny little country between Spain and the Atlantic? We don't speak brazilian nor spanish by the way. We speak portuguese.
Anyway, this is what I look like
sorry… I'm not exactly a selfie expert
Since this is my first post I don't want to make it too long.
The reason why I decided to create this blog?
I once had a blog about my daily life, fashion, makeup… but it didn't feel like me. It was lacking something that meant a lot and had an important role on my everyday life – the fangirl side of me. Just like many teenagers nowadays, I'm a fangirl. However, I tend to hide it because I know how people usually look down at us. They think we're shallow and dumb, but what's so wrong about looking up to certain people we connect to through either music, TV, cinema or something like that? It doesn't mean we aren't smart or decent people.
I don't want to go too deep in this subject because this is my first post. The point of this blog isn't to change those people's minds, I actually try to avoid people who think that way. I'm here to share fangirl feels and emotions with people like me – fangirls. Or fanboys.
If you are going to read my blog (which I hope you do), don't expect me to:
– write about one artist only;
– write only about fangirling.
This is supposed to be about my daily life as a fangirl, of course, my life doesn't revolve around my idols every second of the day. I'm a girl and I like girly things. Like I mentioned before, I used to have a blog about fashion and makeup. Those things are two other passions of mine so you should expect a few posts about it.
As for what makes me fangirl… the list is long, seriously. Before I get into that, there's something you should know if you're going to read my blog. I will not tolerate any kind of hate/rude/disrespectful comments or attitudes torwards the artists I stan. It's okay if you don't like them but it's not okay to be disrespectful or rude just because I don't have the same taste as you.
Things that make me fangirl…
Like I said, the list is long.
If ou say music I will think of One Direction as easily as I'll think of The 1975, or I'll think of Ed Sheeran as easily as I'll think of EXO.
Basically I listen to (as in "what artists can we find on Cat's phone?") : All Time Low, AOA, APink, Ariana Grande, B1A4, BIGBANG, Blackbear, BTOB, BTS, CNBLUE, Conor Maynard, Ed Sheeran, EXID, EXO, f(x), Girl's Day, SNSD, GOT7, Halsey, Hey Violet, HIGH4, HotShot, INFINITE, IU, LABOUM, LADIES' CODE, Lovelyz, Major Lazer, Mamamoo, Meghan Trainor, Momoiro Clover Z, MyName, Oh My Girl, One Direction, Pierce The Veil, R5, Red Velvet, SEVENTEEN, Shawn Mendes, SHINee, SISTAR, TEEN TOP, Troye Sivan, Wonder Girls, 5 Seconds Of Summer, The 1975… These are the ones that mean the most to me.
If you say books I will instantly start talking about how devoted I am to John Green, Rainbow Rowell and Cassandra Clare.
As for series, I actually watch a bunch (still not as many as I'd like to) but there's only one I follow religiously – The Vampire Diaries. If you also follow it then we're both waiting for the next season. Meanwhile, I've let several kdramas ruin my life. Ruin in a good way. Kdramas are probably the greatest thing I came across after I became a kpop stan (after kpop itself of course). They're all sooo good and adicting and honestly better than many american series (but I'll leave that discussion for another time).
I guess that's about it, I'm sure you'll get to know me a lot better if keep on reading my blog though.
There's only a little disclaimer I'd like to give you. Don't expect me to constantly write about gossip related to my idols. I might comment some things, I still have the right to have an opinion right? But don't expect me to stalk every person they hang out with or feed pointless rumors, that's not the type of blog I want to run. Besides, isn't the daily drama on twitter enough?

Say the term car stereo and most people think of the thing in your dash with knobs and lights that you stick a disc into. But the in-dash part of a car audio system is only a small, part of the whole. Also known as a car radio the head unit is the most visible part of a system and one of the only components you regularly interact with.
The head unit is also the only part of a system that generates an audio signal and it's a conduit for various media options. Only a few years ago, you had just a few choices when it came to media: AM and FM radio, CD, cassette, and maybe DVD. But in the last few years, there's been a huge proliferation of new mobile-media options that allows you to bring music and video into the car in myriad ways.
MP3 and other digital music file formats forever changed how people store music, whereas the iPod phenomenon revolutionized the way people access and carry it. Now you can burn hundreds of files onto a CD or carry your entire music collection on a portable media player (PMP) like the iPod. And you can also store dozens of digital music files on SD cards or a USB drive, and even on your mobile phone. That doesn't even include the latest over-the-air music options, such as satellite and HD radio.
Choosing CD or DVD
The majority of car audio head units currently available are either AM/FM/CD or AM/FM/DVD receivers, with CD-based heads outnumbering DVD-based heads by a considerable margin. Which you choose will largely depend on your music collection as well as your budget because DVD receivers are a bit more expensive. But you should also look beyond the disc and consider the other media options a head unit will provide.
If you mostly listen to CDs, a CD receiver is the obvious choice. But because even budget-priced CD receivers now come with the option to add external sources, such as an iPod, satellite radio, or USB drive, you don't necessarily have to be restricted to CD-based entertainment. And with CD becoming somewhat of a dinosaur format, even if you do buy a CD receiver, you'll want to give yourself other media options. If you anticipate that your system will be part of a larger car audio/video system, a DVD receiver is the obvious choice.
After DVD was introduced in 1997, it quickly became the most successful consumer electronics product ever, as people abandoned their clunky old VCRs for DVD players and the more robust but familiar-looking DVD. The format also kick-started the mobile video boom of the last few years because it finally created a convenient way to bring video into a vehicle.
Before PMPs like the iPod took off, it looked like DVD would dominate the audio/video world, and this has pretty much been the case in home entertainment, where CD players are about as popular as VCRs. But CD has hung on as a significant if slowly dying force in the car audio world, mainly because CD-based heads are cheaper than DVD head units. But if you can afford to go with DVD instead of CD, the extra features and flexibility are worth it.
How the iPod Changed Everything
When DVD first started to take off in the late 1990s, I spoke with an engineer in the recording industry who predicted that DVD would be the last disc-based music format for consumers. This was in the early days of MP3 and a couple of years before the iPod was introduced in 2001. No one could have predicted how Apple's iPod would change the way people store, listen to, and carry music. Although MP3-based PMPs had already been around for a few years, with its elegant yet simple design, intuitive interface, and Apple's straightforward iTunes software, the iPod became a phenomenally popular product the likes of which the consumer electronics industry has never seen.
Although CD is still the most widely available format among car audio head units, its days are undoubtedly numbered. CD sales are in a steep decline as people are abandoning the disc in droves for music formats that are more convenient and less costly.
Disc-less digital music files are undoubtedly the wave of the future and CDs and DVDs will one day be regarded with the same sort of nostalgia that the vinyl LP is viewed today.
Music Files Go Mobile
MP3 is the computer music-file format that let the digital genie out of the bottle by essentially freeing digital music from the disc. Instead of record companies deciding what music you could have on a CD, now people who already owned the music on CD could rip MP3 files onto their computer's hard drive and then burn them in any combination they chose onto recordable CDs. This also allowed storing hundred of songs on a single recordable CD. It took the concept of the mix tape into the digital age.
Space Versus Sound
The downside to MP3 is that there's an inherent trade-off between file size and sound quality. When creating an MP3 file, the user can typically select a bit rate that specifies how many kilobits the file may use per second of audio. The lower the bit rate, the smaller the file size. Conversely, the higher the bit rate, the higher the quality, but the larger the file size and the fewer songs you can fit on a hard disk or CD.
When converting a file to an MP3, bit rate can be varied from 32 to 320 kilobits. CD quality MP3s are typically converted at 128 kilobits per second, although more demanding music recordings can require encoding at 192 kilobits per second or higher. Most MP3 encoders, however, simply use one bit rate for an entire file to make the process easier and faster.
Doing Windows
In 1999, Microsoft introduced the WMA (Windows Media Audio) digital-file format to compete with MP3. WMA files are encoded in much the same way as MP3s, but Microsoft claims WMA has a higher sound quality than MP3 and other lossy file compression formats. Regardless, all you need to know is that WMA, along with MP3, is a file format supported by most car audio manufacturers. Also, keep in mind that many people use the term MP3 generically to describe all types of digital music format.
The reason you need to know all of this is that many CD and DVD receivers in both the aftermarket and in stock systems now supports MP3 and WMA playback. This means you can potentially burn hundreds of music files onto a CD or DVD and then take it into your car.
The Disc-less Drive
It would have been difficult to imagine a car audio head unit without a disc drive only a few years ago, but now it's looking like the future. Alpine and Clarion concurrently introduced the first disc-less head units at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2007.
Alpine was the first car audio manufacturer to add iPod integration to an aftermarket head unit, so it's not surprising that the forward-thinking company was the first to offer a radio specifically designed to accommodate the iPod.
Clarion's FB275BT head unit was another disc-less model introduced at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show. Instead, it has a slot for an SD card behind its fold-down faceplate. ID3 tag information such as artist and song title is displayed on the FB275BT's color display.
With the CD going the way of the cassette in the car, look for more manufacturers to introduce head units without a disc mechanism. This is not only of benefit to music lovers in the MP3 era, but it also means that in-dash head units will have fewer moving parts and are therefore potentially less likely to break.

Roundup Lawsuit Lawyers
Lawyer's for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma from Chemical Exposure
Have you suffered non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and suspect it may be as a result of exposure to Roundup? If so, you and your loved ones may be entitled to compensation from Monsanto, the parent corporation of Roundup. Call Simmons and Fletcher, P.C. for more information on your rights today. (713) 932-0777.
Why is Roundup Being Sued?
Roundup contains a chemical (among others) called Glyphosate. The Environmental Protection Agency has determined that Glyphosate alone is a probable human carcinogen—something that causes cancer. Glyphosate is a chemical made by Monsanto. Glyphosate was originally created with the intention of it being a water softener. After determining it was not suitable for that use, Monsanto developed Glyphosate as a non-selective pesticide—that is, they destroy a wide variety of good and bad plants.
Studies of Farm-Workers exposed to large amounts of Roundup in Canada, Sweden, and the United States have demonstrated a higher occurrence of non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma than those not exposed to Roundup. The World Health Organization, using the research of 17 different scientists around the globe, concluded that Glyphosate is a probable human carcinogen.
Studies to date have shown a connection between Glyphosate and the following serious medical conditions:
- Birth defects
- Cancer
- Parkinson's Disease
- Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
How Does Glyphosate Get into Your System?
There are two ways Glyphosate can get into your system. First, it can get in through inhalation of the chemical during production or use. Second, it can get into your system from contact with the skin.
Defective Marketing Claims
Monsanto, the makers of Roundup have been sued by both the State of New York and the Government of France for false advertisement claims in conjunction with representations that Roundup is safe and targets enzymes in plants that are not found in people or pets.
Currently, over 1100 lawsuits have been filed against Monsanto alleging injury. Some of these cases are consolidated in a multi-district litigation pending in San Francisco, California. The claims range includes false advertising, misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, defective product claims, and exemplary damages.
Talk to a Roundup Lawsuit Lawyer Today
Simmons and Fletcher, P.C. are currently accepting Roundup cases against Monsanto for causing non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. If you or your loved ones have suffered non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma after extended exposure to Roundup, call us for a free case evaluation today. The consultation is free and we charge no fees unless we make a recovery: (713) 932-0777.

Dear Editor,
With news that the incinerator has died and that 5000 tonnes of waste is now to be landfilled, now has never been a better time for action to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Supermarkets and chainstores continue to sell goods with ridiculous amounts of packaging, some goods being wrapped two or three times in plastic destined to sit in landfill. We all have to put pressure on these companies to stop this crazy and pointless practice.
Collectively we must also start to challenge the 'throw away' culture that is great for business, but bad for the environment and bad for our wallets. Goods have shorter and shorter lifespans as quality declines and disposability increases. We should all challenge the companies that produce these throw away goods and the best way to do this is not to give them our trade. We must get the maximum amount of use possible from goods and reuse them wherever possible.
Increasing recycling is not the best option for reducing waste, it takes time, effort, money and energy to recycle. We should only recycle where we haven't been able to reduce or reuse waste.
Landfilling and incineration are both wrong - we have a duty to future generations to leave them a planet, not a rubbish tip.

There has been one nutritional question which has plagued the human species for thousands of years: Should we eat this?
As human brains have increased in size, there's still trepidation and ongoing conversations about whether or not carbohydrates are good for us. Mayo Clinic classifies carbs into three categories:
Editor's Tip: Noom weight-loss app is offering our readers a 14-day trial for a limited time. Click here for this special offer.
At the end of this article 5 high carb foods will be highlighted to cover the three categories.
No matter what category of carb you choose, it will be broken down into glucose, and glucose is sugar. With the popularity of the paleo diet, also known as caveman diet, carbohydrates don't really have much of a home there. There's some versions of the caveman diet that have condoned incorporating some forms of foods high in carbohydrates, but other diets like Atkins vilify carbohydrates. However, as more nutritional science is readily available and more people are beginning to measure their macronutrients— fats, proteins, and carbohydrates— it's safe to say carbs are making a sweet comeback. It's a good thing too, because our brains, teeth and digestive system owe a lot of gratitude to the carbohydrate, especially the complex starchy kind.
Incorporating high carb foods, like sweet potatoes, tubers, root vegetables, seeds, and certain types of fruits have assisted in the evolution process of humans. The University of Chicago published in the Quarterly Review of Biology an article co-written and researched by Dr. Karen Hardy and her team titled The Importance of Dietary Carbohydrates in Human Evolution which explores the significance of high carbohydrate foods—primarily starch— as a catalyst in how human brains developed and grew in size. The addition of carbs helped evolve the human digestive system by increasing salivary amylases to help in the digestion of starches so the body could reap the benefits of the increased blood glucose (sugar) levels after it's digested. Glucose is useable energy and when hunting down prey for hours over miles and miles of land, humans needed foods high in carbohydrates to sustain their energy levels. When there's the absence or minimal blood glucose levels in the body, the body will then starts to break down muscle protein to use the amino acids to replenish glucose levels. This breakdown is called catabolism. So carbs were pretty vital to our evolution.
Turns out the best way to consume your starchy carbohydrates is by cooking them, because the starch and be broken down to glucose quicker. Coincidently, Dr.Hardy hypothesized that with the development of cooking and greater need for carbohydrates in our ancestors diets, it kickstarted the evolution of bigger brains, smaller teeth and of course smarter humans.
Not so fast! Not all carbs are the same and equal. There's a huge difference between eating a bagel and eating a sweet potato. Both are high in carbs, but one is better than the other. Before going into beneficial high carbs foods, we need to understand why some foods are high carb and some are considered low carb, and what separates them as good and evil. I mean good and bad.
The University of Sydney explains the ranking of carbohydrates is based on where they fall on the Glycemic Index (GI) scale. The scale is from 0 to 100 and measures glucose levels after eating and if there's increase in blood sugars. For example potatoes and white bread are considered high on the glycemic index because when broken down in the digestive system into glucose, the blood glucose (blood sugar) levels increase. Where as carbs like strawberries don't really fluctuate the blood sugar levels. The rate of digestion is important in the GI scale as well. Some high carbs are still considered low on the GI scale, like bananas, peas, carrots and some tubers and whole grains. There's certainly a correlation between grams of fiber per carbohydrate that plays into the rate of digestion, but that's for another day. Back to carbs.
The next obstacle to overcome is differentiating good vs bad carbs. What's a complex carb and what constitutes a simple carb? To make it easy to remember, rather than going with complex vs. simple think of it like whole carbs vs. refined carbs.
Whole carbs are food presently found in nature and is dense with nutrients and loaded with fiber, vitamins and minerals. Whereas refined carbs are usually found in a bag, packaged, repackaged from a manufacturing company and has added fats and artificial sugar and usually has been stripped of nutrients. So whole apples are a whole carb, and apple fritters are a refined carb.
This can get a little dicey. If there is a hierarchy in potato-land, sweet potatoes would rule all. This is pretty widespread acceptance by scholars and experts. Sweet potatoes are a high carbohydrate that has infiltrated paleo diets. Men's Health Magazine and Nutrition Authority both have sweet potatoes as one of the best high carb food.
A medium sweet potato is roughly 100 calories, packs a punch with vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, fiber, 9g natural sugar, 27g carbs, and also is chock full of antioxidants (beta carotene). Great recovery food, very filling, and helps restore energy levels after a work out and helps repair cells.
All the other potatoes can get a little squished under all the attention sweet potatoes garner. Harvard School of Public Health no longer lists potatoes as a vegetable on their Healthy Eating Plate website. Mainly because potatoes are high in carbohydrates and spike blood sugar levels and have been linked to obesity. Russet potatoes break the glycemic index with being measured at 111. Despite the bad rap potatoes sometimes get, it's how the potato is cooked which really matters most. Potatoes whether it's sweet, white, red, or yellow are all free of fat. So a bake potato is a good healthy option for consumption. However, potato chips and french fries not good because of the added trans and saturated fats.
Though yams look like sweet potatoes, they are not sweet potatoes. If you are concerned about spiking your blood sugar levels with a sweet potato or another potato, yams are a great and tasty alternative. Yams take a little longer to digest because of the increased fiber and they already naturally have less sugar, therefore they fall into the medium range of the glycemic index. Yams have little effect on blood sugar levels and also have more potassium than potatoes but have less beta carotene.
One food that's making a lot of noise recently are beans. To bean or not to bean? Beans and legumes have been restricted in some diets because they cannot be consumed raw. They must be cooked. To be more specific the kidney bean must be prepared properly. If the kidney bean is not cooked properly it's toxic. The National Center for Biotechnology Information within the US National Library of Medicine heeds warning about consumption of unprepared kidney beans. But if cooked and prepared properly, this starchy food has ample amounts of fiber, carbs, and protein.
100 grams of kidney beans has upwards to 130 calories, 23g of carbs, 7g of fiber and almost 9g of protein. Because of the density of fiber in this bean, it takes a slower time to digest, which means your blood sugar levels are safe, and your energy storage will be potent.
Other beans worth highlighting here are chickpeas, lentils, black beans, pinto beans, navy beans and black eyed peas.
Some legumes or nuts that should be noted are peanuts and cashews.
This is a well known super grain that is high in carbs and considered a "complete protein." It's also gluten-free. Complete proteins are foods that have all eight essential amino acids. Our bodies produce some amino acids, but the essential ones are the kind we have to consume through diets.
In 1 cup of quinoa there is 8g of protein. Also quinoa is dense in nutrients, vitamins and minerals. It has liver healing properties with niacin, and offers significant amounts of vitamin E and vitamin B plus packs a dense amounts of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc.
Quinoa is easily one of the healthiest and most nutrient dense foods readily available. Other healthy grains are barely, millet, brown rice, corn, and bulgar. Though not a grain, oats are considered a great form of high carbohydrates, especially steel cut oats.
Known as an excellent source of potassium. Bananas are often seen at the end of endurance races, like marathons or ironman, because they're a fast-digesting carbohydrate. In one large banana there's about 31g of carbohydrates. But bananas are unique because the more ripe they get, the higher they climb in the glycemic index. So if your banana is a little on the greener side, it's a bit more starchy and less sweet. But the sugars in bananas are simple sugars like fructose which can be easily digested and used as energy. Hence why they're great post race and work out snack.
Editor's Tip: Noom weight-loss app is offering our readers a 14-day trial for a limited time. Click here for this special offer.Bananas are considered to be one of the most popular fruits in the world. It's no surprise because bananas have a lot of positive benefits in lowering blood pressure, assisting in digestion and of course has tons of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. And the potassium is critical for nerve and muscle functions.
Other notable fruits that are high in carbs are apples, grapefruits, oranges, and pears.

Musicians can create and edit music on-the-go with Griffin's lineup of music accessories for iOS and Mac OS X
Las Vegas, NV — January 6, 2013 — Griffin Technology, one of the world's foremost creators of innovations for everyday life, is rolling out new music accessories for iOS, including the StudioConnect with Lightning, DJ Connect, Mic Stand Mount and MicConnect at CES.
"GarageBand has given musicians of all talents the ability to create studio quality music at a fraction of the cost of a recording studio," says Ethan Opelt, Line Manager of Griffin's Audio category. "With our lineup of music accessories, artists can easily connect their instruments to a digital audio interface and create on the go."
Leading the lineup is StudioConnect with Lightning, Griffin's popular all-in-one audio interface for music creation on the iPad, now compatible with the new iPad (4th generation) and iPad mini. StudioConnect provides connectivity for guitars, stereo audio, MIDI-In and MIDI-Out as well as a Lightning charging dock in one compact device. It also features line-level RCA stereo output and stereo headphone output with separate volume control. With StudioConnect, digital music-making has never been easier, combining both audio and MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) recording into one convenient accessory.
With StudioConnect the audio in and out is simple:
- Audio In – Plug instrument in through a mono 1/4″ jack or plug a mixer into StudioConnect's stereo 1/8" (3.5mm) jack.
- Audio Out – Left and right line-level RCA plugs. The 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo headphone jack, with its dedicated volume knob, helps monitor what's going in and out.
MIDI in and out is equally straightforward:
- MIDI In – Connect a MIDI controller through a standard 5-pin DIN MIDI-in port.
- MIDI Out – A second 5-pin DIN connector accepts a sequencer, patch bay or other MIDI gear, allowing the iPad and MIDI apps to act as a MIDI controller.
The updated StudioConnect with Lightning, $149.99, will be available Spring 2013 from select retailers.
Similar to Griffin's best-selling DJ Cable, the new DJ Connect offers DJs a way to pre-cue their music and beat-mix. Designed specifically to work with algoriddim's award-winning djay and vjay apps, the DJ Connect allows user to have the ultimate mobile DJ experience. DJ Connect has the added benefits of volume control, dual separate stereo outputs and detachable cables for use with iOS devices with 30-pin dock connectors and Mac computers with USB ports. Compatibility with Lightning devices is planned as well.
Simply plug headphones into the headphone port and connect external speakers to the RCA line level stereo outputs in the back. When connected properly, the sleek yellow glow underneath the volume knob will illuminate to provide ambient light for those DJs spinning in the dark. DJ Connect is compatible with algoriddim's djay and vjay apps for iOS and Mac computers and will be available in May 2013 for $99.99.
Griffin's Mic Stand Mount for iPad, $39.99, easily screws onto a standard microphone stand enabling users to raise and lower the iPad to the perfect height.

Focus on a distributor – Photonix Edge, USA
Can you please introduce yourself and your company?
Yves Deiss, Photonix Edge: I am the owner of Photonix Edge, a distributor of optical components, subsystems, and instruments for the United States market. I have a background in electrical engineering with a Master's degree from Lehigh University and accumulated 18 years of experience in sales and marketing in the US photonics industry.
For most of my career, I have been working as a fiber laser and fiber amplifier sales engineer. This has been a wonderful experience as I have witnessed the growth of industrial fiber lasers and the expansion of fiber-based applications.
I created Photonix Edge in December 2015 with the goal of promoting European photonics to the United States. It is also my intention to provide US engineers and researchers with new, reliable and state of the art optical tools and solutions.
Can you please describe your relationship with RESOLUTION Spectra Systems?
Yves Deiss, Photonix Edge: I have known about RESOLUTION Spectra Systems for a few years. The company was exhibiting at various US conferences that I attended. I recall meeting your President – Christophe Bonneville – during a CLEO conference for the first time.
After I established Photonix Edge we decided to work together and formalized the agreement during the 2017 Photonics West conference in San Francisco.
RESOLUTION Spectra Systems has a very dynamic and competent team with excellent products. It has been a pleasure to work together in 2017 and I am looking forward to an increased partnership and US sales in 2018.
What trends do you currently see in the laser industry?
Yves Deiss, Photonix Edge: I see a bright future for the laser industry as lasers are being deployed in a growing number of applications.There is of course the industrial use of lasers for cutting, welding, micromachining, marking that has been driving growth in recent years. Even though most applications do not require any wavelength monitoring, laser manufacturers may need to monitor the laser spectrum and wavelength during laser assembly or for diagnosis.
Another major growth area for lasers is the autonomous vehicle market where LIDAR systems are being deployed on robots, UAVs and cars.
All other areas I can think of requiring lasers such as telecommunications and medical are growing markets for 2018.
Finally, we expect an increased demand for lasers in the R&D and military areas as budgets for defense should increase in the United States.
All of this should drive demand for wavelength meters and laser spectrum analyzers.

The Addergoole Titanic Society has spent countless hours, evenings and nights debating how best to commemorate the lives of the fourteen people who left the village of Lahardane, emigrating to the United States aboard the RMS Titanic in April 1912. Eleven of the Addergoole Fourteen perished on the tragic night of 14 April 1912. Continue reading

Michael, Can you build me a Cottage?
In September 2011 during an Addergoole Titanic Society meeting, David Donoghue, nephew of RMS Titanic victim Bridget Donohue, suggested that the Mayo Titanic Cultural Week, scheduled for 8 – 15 April, needed a model of an Irish Cottage so that people could gain some perspective of how people lived in 1912 Ireland. David turned to Michael Coleman of Whitethorn Studios, and said; "Michael, Can you build me a cottage? Michael obliged. The following are his own words. Continue reading
Mayo: Seasonal Migration
At the turn of the nineteenth century, seasonal migration of agricultural workers from Ireland to the United Kingdom was practiced predominantly by communities found on western coast of Ireland.
Whether the members of the Addergoole Fourteen partook in seasonal migration is not the aim of this article. This article is merely highlighting that the practice was prevalent, and practiced by communities in the west Ireland, especially in County Mayo. Continue reading

Employees continue to believe that they can outsmart their electronic storage devices and the metadata of the files on those devices – and they continue to be wrong.
In Engility Corporation v. Daniels, the trial court entered a preliminary injunction against two former employee-defendants, largely because the court did not believe their assertions that they no longer possessed trade secrets belonging to their former employer, the plaintiff. Click here for the Order Granting Preliminary Injunction in Part.
Daniels' attempted explanation is a bit convoluted and hard to summarize quickly. To get the full flavor, you should read the judge's summary of it. But there are two components to that attempted explanation that bear directly on points I raised in my previous blogs on the use of metadata and electronic storage devices in proving or defending against claims of theft of trade secrets.

North and South Manitou Island are part of an island chain that extends north to the Straits of Mackinac and includes the Fox Islands and Beaver Island. South Manitou Island is just over 8 square miles in land area and is about 7 miles from Glen Arbor while North Manitou Island is about 22 square miles and a little over 10 miles from Glen Arbor. More about the Manitou Islands from the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

Tales of the Crib, photo by Jim
"To pass time, the men watched television, read books and magazines, played board games, and chatted with passing ship captains by radio. One coastguardsman perfected his rappelling skills by using ropes to descend from the gallery outside the lantern room to the concrete deck below."
~Life on North Manitou Shoal
The last Coast Guard crew left the North Manitou Shoal Light in 1980. It's located 8 miles off the the Lake Michigan shore from Leland, and growing up I could hear the station's fog horn from my bedroom. When I was a kid, my parents and their friends would take steaks and beer out to the light and have dinner with the guardsmen.
Now mLive reports that the light is one of four Michigan lighthouses are up for sale to the public: North Manitou Shoal Light, White Shoal Lighthouse, Gray's Reef Light, and Minneapolis Shoal Light. The auction page explains that proceeds from the public sales go back into the US Coast Guard's aid to navigation fund for equipment, maintenance, and resources to continue preservation and maintenance of lighthouses that are still active. On Tuesday, August 30, registered bidders who have paid the $10K deposit can tour the light along with their contractor and they haven't yet set a closing date for the auction.
Lighthouse Friends notes that the North Manitou Shoal Light was built in 1933 to replace the North Manitou Shoal Lightship:
…anchored two miles off Dimmick's Point. In 1909, the Lighthouse Board noted that a shoal had developed southeast of Manitou Island in recent years and requested a lightship be placed on the easterly end of the shoal to help mark the six-mile-wide channel between Dimmick's Point and Pyramid Point on the mainland.
This light station replaces the North Manitou Lightship No. 103 and North Manitou Island Light Station, and serves as an improved mark for the outer end of the shoal projecting southerly from the south end of North Manitou Islands. A substantial saving in annual maintenance cost will be effected. The crib on which the structure is built stands in 22 feet of water, on a hard sand and coarse stone bottom. The crib is 65 feet square by 22 feet deep, and is filled with conveyor stone. The voids around the stone in the 20 outer pockets were pumped full of Portland cement grout. Arch web steel sheet piling driven 24 feet into lake bottom encloses and protects the crib.
The crib supports a hollow pier of reinforced concrete 62 feet square and 20 feet above water, with deck overhanging 2 feet on all sides. This hollow space is occupied by the steam heating plant, coal and oil storage, laundry, etc. Above the pier rises the steel building 37 feet square, two stories high, surmounted by a square tower of three stories additional height. On the top of the tower is a third-order lantern, with its focal plane 79 feet above water. The building and tower are constructed of steel channels 12 and 15 inches wide, standing vertically with flanges turned in and bolted together on the inside.

Sunrise at Little Presque Isle Point, photo by Neil Weaver Photography
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources says in part about a proposed Little Presque Isle Natural Area:
The Little Presque Isle tract is often called the crown jewel of Lake Superior, with its beautiful sand beaches, rugged shoreline cliffs, heavily timbered forests, and unmatched public views.
…The rock comprising the area represents some of the oldest exposed formations of its kind. More than a mile of bedrock lakeshore and cliffs adorns Little Presque Isle, including sandstone cliffs that reach nearly 60 feet high toward the base of Sugar Loaf Mountain. One kind of bedrock, granitic, that occurs here is the least common bedrock type along the Great Lakes shoreline, with less than eight miles occurring in total. This is one of three areas where the public can see these 2.3 billion year old formations in Michigan.
The proposed wilderness area is a local landmark, which has significant historical value. The island was reportedly connected to the mainland sometime prior to the 1930s and was a landing place for early explorers and native inhabitants. Roughly 100 yards off the mainland, the island is accessible by wading hip deep water and offers and opportunity for solitude in a unique and scenic setting.

Hongdae has gone and done it again for unearthing international cuisine and making continuously compelling cases for people to skip going to Itaewon, when hankering for world cuisine. This past summer, Pide, the turkish variant of Pita, made its presence known via the opening of Hongdae's What's Pide. On the menu are tantalizing selections of 'pide pockets', featuring stuffing options of hummus, burger patties, bulgogi, chili sausage, garlic relish chicken, shrimp, and so much more.

Chelsea Market is an amazing food hall, and one of the best eating nooks is Los Tacos No. 1, which is designed like a sparkling-white food truck. The line moves fast, so make up your mind. Cheat sheet: tacos adobada (marinated pork shaved from a spit), a side of chips and smooth guacamole, and an especial—a fried quesadilla stuffed with the protein of your choice. To drink: jamaica (ha-MY-ka), a purple, thirst-quenching agua fresca made from hibiscus. Pay the cashier and hand your ticket to a taquero behind the counter, who will demand your preference for flour or corn tortillas, both freshly griddled. On the white-tiled counter are big stone mortars of mild pico de gallo, forest-green medium salsa and rust-red hot salsa plus lime wedges and radish slices. It is all so good and fun and cheap you should stop for a snack here even if you're not hungry.
