FIA seeking new teams for Formula 1 in 2016 and 2017
By Luke SmithMay 28, 2015, 3:23 PM EDT
The FIA has announced that it is looking for prospective new teams to join the Formula 1 grid in either 2016 or 2017 as part of its bid to ensure the long-term sustainability and prosperity of the sport.
Following the collapse of Caterham F1 Team at the end of the 2014 season, the grid currently stands at ten teams and 20 cars. However, it is set to rise in 2016 when Haas F1 Team – led by NASCAR team co-owner Gene Haas – joins the grid.
Nevertheless, the FIA has today released a statement confirming that it is looking for prospective new teams to join the grid in the next two years.
"Having due regard for the sustainability and future success of the Formula One World Championship, the FIA has opened a new selection process to identify a candidate team to participate in the Championship from the start of the 2016 or the 2017 season," the statement reads.
"The overall long-term interests of the Championship will determine which candidate is selected.
"The precise terms of this selection process, together with the applicable selection criteria, deadlines, legal requirements and other conditions, will be communicated to candidates who have registered a formal expression of interest with the FIA's Secretariat before 5pm CET 30 June 2015.
"The application process will commence with those who have registered an expression of interest before the aforementioned deadline (late applicants will be admitted only at the FIA's discretion).
"All applicants will be expected to undergo thorough due diligence. By way of indication only, the applicable selection criteria will include:
the technical ability and resources of the team
the ability of the team to raise and maintain sufficient funding to allow participation in the Championship at a competitive level
the team's experience and human resources
the FIA's assessment of the value that the candidate may bring to the Championship as a whole.
"By way of indication only, the FIA anticipates that full applications will need to be submitted by 1st September 2015, leading to a decision on 30 September 2015.
"In the event that no applicant is considered suitable by both the FIA and the commercial rights holder, no additional team will be selected."
The suggestion that a new team would be able to join the grid for the 2016 season does seem somewhat ambitious given the long lead-up time required by operations to prepare for life in F1.
However, the possibility of new teams entering the sport is certainly an exciting one given that the likes of Audi and Renault have been linked with works entries in the past few months.
Other operations such as Forza Rossa and ART Grand Prix have also been mooted as possible new F1 teams, suggesting that there will be no shortage of applications for the new slots on the grid.
Quite whether the FIA and the commercial rights holder deems them to be suitable for F1 and fit to race is another matter entirely, but this is certainly a positive step towards safeguarding the sport's long-term future.

What are the major components of ssrs?
The reporting in a definite format is very important from various angles whether it is to be presented or viewed and that is why the system for the same has to be an effective one. SSRS or SQL Server Reporting Services makes a server-based reporting forum that permits you to craft and tackle a broad array of various kinds of reports and transport them in a variety of formats – processing components. You can craft fundamental reports enclosing graphs and tables, or extra intricate data visualisations, utilising sparklines, charts, and maps.
Processors components can be utilised to include new functionality. It makes certain the reliability of SSRS or SQL server reporting services.
Extensions components can be invoked through processors and perform particular processing functionality.
This component shall be utilised to drop and drag and for effortless to utilise report design functionality. Moreover, report builder makes an ad-hoc end-user report (publishing) scripting tool which tends to be executed over a consumer computer.
This report designer tool shall be utilised to shape up intricate and simple reports. Report designer tends to be a publishing tool that can be hosted in visual studio or BIDS – business intelligent development studio.
This tool offers effortless access to web-based reports. HTTP:// <server>/ reports is the default URL relating to the report manager.
It forms a server which utilises the SQL server database engine so that to stack metadata.
It stacks metadata, delivery data, security setting, report definitions and a lot more.
Reporting services recover data from its data sources such as multidimensional and relational data sources.
Over the report server or a dissimilar server you pick, you shall enjoy access to the report manager website. This report manager site may be utilised to put in place and tackle reports. End users can run reports through the report manager and then publish those reports in case they possess permission. An SSRS or SQL server reporting services tend to be linked to an SQL server instance. The SQL server instance possesses two databases, wherein the first one happens to be a report server whereas the second is report server tempdb. Now the end user conveys the HTTP request meant for data towards the data source then as the data happens to be given back by the data source and gets merged with its report definition inside a report. As the report gets produced, it is conveyed towards the client.
GMAT: Is it just about preparing or there is more to it?

Railroad Casualty in Virginia---A Number of Passengers Severely Burned.
LIBERTY, Va., July 2.---A fearful wreck occurred on the Norfolk & Western railroad near Thaxtons, about thirty miles above this city. Five persons were killed, nearly all of whom were train hands, and quite a number of persons injured. The train wrecked was known as No. 2, which left Roanoke a few minutes before midnight. A heavy rain storm had prevailed throughout Virginia for about forty-eight hours, and the train was moving slowly and behind schedule time when it ran into a washout about 1:30 this morning near Thaxtons. The locomotive and several cars were thrown into the ditch, but the sleeper remained on the track. The cars caught fire after falling into the ditch and quite a number of passengers were severely burned in addition to those injured by the wreck. Telegrams were at once sent to Roanoke for assistance and in a short time a special train arrived from that city bearing a fire company and a number of physicians.
Engineer Patrick Donovan, Train Dispatcher Lifsey and the fireman were burned to death. Some of the passengers were also burned to death.
LOSS OF LIFE IN VIRGINIA.
A PASSENGER TRAIN PLUNGES INTO A WASHOUT---A BOILER EXPLOSION AND FIRE ADD TO THE HORROR OF THE SCENE.
LYNCHBURG, Va., July 2---A fearful accident, by which many lives were lost and a large number of people injured, occurred on the Norfolk and Western Railroad at 2:30 o'clock this morning, one mile above Flaxton's switch and 31 miles above the city. Rain had been falling almost continuously and at times very heavily for twenty-four hours swelling the mountain streams greatly beyond their normal state. Several trains had passed over the road during the night and it was thought the line was safe for traffic. At the place of the accident, however, the water had undermined the railroad and caused a washout about 80 feet long and 50 feet wide. The water at this point was 8 to 10 feet deep. Into this watery gulch the engine made a frightful leap while running at a rate of 30 miles an hour, carrying with it the tender and eight cars. As the engine struck bottom the rushing of the water into the locomotive exploded the boiler.
Debris was thrown in every direction by the force of the explosion, injuring many of those on the train by flying fragments and scattering firebrands, which ignited the wood work of the coaches. The flames spread and destroyed a large amount of mail and express matter, besides spreading panic among the already terror-stricken passengers. It is supposed that some of the passengers were unable to extricate themselves from the wreck, and were consumed in the flames, but it is difficult to get accurate particulars, as the employes[sic] of the Norfolk and Western Railroad refuse to give any information to the public.
It is impossible to state the number of persons killed, but the most reliable estimate places it at between 25 and 30. The number of wounded will be far in excess of the number killed. Thirty of the wounded have been taken to Roanoke, 13 to Buffordsville and 50 to Liberty. The adopted daughter of Mrs. Judge Thompson of Augusta county was killed, and Mrs. Thompson herself is known to be very badly hurt. Pat Donovan, the engineer, with his fireman, a man named Bruce, was scalded and burned to death by escaping steam. Train Dispatcher Lipsey was also burned to death. Among the others who lost their lives were J. J. Rose, postal clerk of Abingdon, Va., John Kirkpatrick of Lynchburg, W. C. Stead, and the husband and two children of a lady passenger on the train whose name cannot be learned. Mr. Stead was an Englishman, and was agent of an Idaho hunting and fishing expedition. He was on his way to England for supplies when he met his death. Maj. J. C. Cassell, superintendent of the Lynchburg division of he Norfolk and Western Railroad, was on the train and was seriously injured, as were also Baggage Master Ford and Capt. Rowland Johnson, who was in charge of the train.
A special dispatch, which was received about 11 o'clock from the scene of the wreck, by way of Liberty, says: Six dead bodies have been recovered. The bodies of P. Donovan, engineer, and Postal Clerk Rose were recognized. The others are not known.
NAMES OF SOME OF THE VICTIMS.
MORE THAN TWENTY LIVES LOST AND MANY PERSONS SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.
LYNCHBURG, Va., July 3.---The scene of the terrible disaster near Thaxtons, on the Norfolk and Western Railroad, is beyond description. There is hardly enough left of the train of eight cars that took the leap to the bottom of the awful pit to make one car. As soon as the boiler of the engine exploded the whole mass of debris took fire, and those who went down, who were not killed outright, were burned to death. Portions of eight bodies have been taken out, and it is believed that fully fifteen others were entirely consumed by the fire. A survivor of the wreck says that cries for help could be heard from all portions of the wreck, and those unhurt were powerless to render assistance. The women who managed to escape lay about the damp ground suffering from their injuries until daybreak, and many walked long distances to farm houses. The passengers left uninjured did all in their power for the unfortunate.
Robert B. Goodfellow, hand and foot injured.
The charred remains of what are supposed to be eight bodies were found in very minute particles. The lady of Engineer Donovan was dug out, badly mutilated, and identified by his watch.
There about 30 people who escaped with only slight injuries, and 10 who were seriously injured. The list of dead will be increased as friends of the missing people come forward in search of them.

AFCM-LOGO
Duo for Violin and Viola "Rumi Settings"
Composed by Augusta Read-Thomas
Premiered by Ani and Ida Kavafian on March 3, 2002
PROGRAM NOTE by Augusta Read Thomas (12/3/09)
My favorite moment in any piece of music is the moment of maximum risk and striving. Whether the venture is tiny or large, loud or soft, fragile or strong, passionate, erratic, ordinary or eccentric…! Maybe another way to say this is the moment of exquisite humanity and raw soul. All art that I cherish has an element of love and recklessness and desperation. I like music that is alive and jumps off the page and out of the instrument as if something big is at stake."
Although my music is highly notated, precise, carefully structured, thoughtfully proportioned, and so forth… and although you may have many musicians elegantly working together, from the very specific text, I like my music to have the feeling that it is organically being self-propelled – on the spot. As if we listeners, the audience, are overhearing a CAPTURED IMPROVISATION.
I like my music to be played so that the "inner-life" of the different rhythmic syntaxes is specific, with characterized phrasing of the colors and harmonies, etc.- keeping it ultra alive -such that it always sounds spontaneous.
My works are organic and, at every level, concerned with transformations and connections.
When I read this beautiful poem by Rumi, written 900 years ago, all of it but especially the last 3 lines,
"Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest and let the spirits fly in and out."
resonated deeply inside of me. I felt deeply compelled to set it as a song without words, trying to capture it's intensely personal, fiery, honest meaning.
I was thrilled and honored to receive a commission from the Arizona Friends of Chamber Music, Marya and Robert Giesy, Henry Weiss (for Marion Hersch), Carla Rosenlicht (in memory of Maxwell Rosenlicht), Mr. and Mrs. Charles Peters, Jean-Paul Bierny and Chris Tanz, which provided me a much cherished and fantastic opportunity to compose RUMI SETTINGS, which Ani and Ida Kavafian premiered in March 2002 in Tucson.
The work has a total duration 12 minutes and is made up of 4 short movements that can be played attacca or with short pauses between them.
By Rumi [Barks is the translator (Date composed: approx 1240)]
MOVEMENT I Don't worry about saving these songs! And if one of our instruments breaks, it doesn't matter.
We have fallen into the place where everything is music.
MOVEMENT II The strumming and the flute notes rise into the atmosphere, and even if the whole world's harp should burn up, there will still be hidden instruments playing.
So the candle flickers and goes out. We have a piece of flint, and a spark.
MOVEMENT III This singing art is sea foam. The graceful movements come from a pearl somewhere in the ocean floor.
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting!
They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can't see.
MOVEMENT IV Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest and let the spirits fly in and out.
Each of the movements adheres to the meaning, perfume, and essence of the stunning Rumi text. Throughout the score, each line of the text is written above the music, corresponding to the moment when the DUO is depicting that particular line of the poem, thus the musicians know the connotation and nuance of the composition.
It would take far too long to describe each line of text and their corresponding musical adventures. So allow me to modestly offer six brief examples of this procedure.
The music starts with a passionate, dramatic, cadenza like surge in the solo violin, played with the whole soul engaged and as if it does not matter if the instrument breaks (not literally) until the Viola soon enters, supporting and propelling the music forward onto a Kaleidoscopic journey. A climax ensues before the music relaxes "We have fallen into the place where everything is music" settling on a calm open fifth.
In Movement II you will hear notes rising into the atmosphere as the two soloists arpeggiate ascending chords with double stops. Suddenly, "the whole world's harp" rushes forward in full motion with Pizzicatti until later the movement ends, in a distant, still calm, such that we can discern, "there will still be hidden instruments playing."
Movement III is extremely graceful and tuneful, like a pearl from the ocean floor…
RUMI SETTINGS is dedicated with admiration and gratitude to Ani and Ida Kavafian and the Arizona Friends of Chamber Music. It is published by G. Schirmer Inc.

The student-friendly guide to london
As someone whose name proves tricky for those in Ireland, I'm always curious as to how those further afield will manage it. On a recent trip to London, as part of a tour, I was asked my name, for easiness sake, I replied 'Amy'. I was now, Amy in London, a far cry from Dáirne in Dublin, and while I didn't quite feel like Amy, I did feel London.
It was my first time in the famous city and I was in total awe: London, the hub, the hive, the place to be. I could finally see why so many of my peers have left these shores and headed for the bright lights and underground train lines, favouring more reliable transport and a bigger pool of socialising and amusements. Four days, and I was well and truly hooked. Dublin who?
The last time I felt this way about a city was during my time inter-railing when I visited Berlin. The city was so steeped in culture that it was hard not to become immersed in it. The same can be said for London.
There is so much to see and do in London, and despite having four days there, a lot remains undone. The bus tour is the best way to see the city, and rest your tired self after a 7am flight. Rounding off at two and a half hours, and many sights to behold it was well worth the money spent and gave us ideas for what to do over the next few days. The novelty of sitting on an open top bus will near wear off.
The London Dungeons were one of the highlights for me, and provided a good scare first thing in the morning. Filled with theatrics, darkness and culminating in a plunge to the death, I can't recommend this highly enough. There is another one, located over near London Bridge, it's on my list for next time I'm there. The London Aquarium is another attraction that gives great value for money and also allows you to wander around at leisure. Ripleys Believe It Or Not was another afternoon well spent, and stays open late. More interactive exhibits would have been nice but it gave us some good laughs and interesting facts. For anyone looking for a freebie, the British Museum is a must. You could happily spend a few hours there exploring exhibits such as Ancient Egypt or Europe through the ages. Despite being packed with tourists, navigating your way around is very manageable. Our final attraction was the Tower Bridge, and for the engineers out there, this is for you! The views of London from the top are stunning, despite the fact that you are enclosed.
As someone who enjoys the odd spot of retail therapy, I was rather looking forward to seeing what London had to offer. I worshipped at Primark, the Mecca for any Pennies lovers out there. Shopping in London is on a whole different scale compared to Dublin, and caters very well to both men and women. It's hard not to compare prices, but when things are cheaper, you do feel more inclined to buy so as to make a saving. Hamley's Toy Shop is worth a visit and even at the ripe old age of twenty five I would have happily sat playing with the toys while my boyfriend went and tried out the new FIFA game. The store is open late every night apart from Sunday and filled to rafters. The milkshake bar on the top floor proved very delicious indeed. I recommend Reeces Cups,peanut butter goodness.
Eating out in London is such a stress-free experience. There's something to cater to everyone, from fast-food to fine-dining. Wandering around if your best bet, particularly during the day, many places do similar dishes but prices vary. While we didn't venture to any clubs, the pubs we went to were lively and had a good atmosphere. In particular, the Punch&Judy located near Covent Garden was great and we sat outside in a big open market style area
The highlight of the four days was seeing the musical, Les Misérables on stage. Since being introduced to it a few months ago after watching the movie, I had fallen in love with it. Despite crying three times (I blame the fact I was tired) it was fantastic. Tickets are pricey for musicals and shows but worth it if you can afford them.
What I loved about London was the atmosphere and the fact that it's a city that never sleeps compared to Dublin. Even people I spoke to who had been living there a while still hadn't seen or done everything. I enjoy having a cooking pot of things to do, places to go, sights to see and for a busy-bee. London is perfect. Despite how big it was, I didn't find it overwhelming.
Dublin has Dáirne but London has certainly made a good attempt at stealing 'Amy'.

Jim Carrey On The 23 Enigma:
Pride, Groucho:25, 6006 YD
"A friend of mine in Canada handed it down to me because he saw it everywhere," Carrey says. "Then he gave me a book of 23 phenomena, which listed all the strange dates and odd occurrences. I thought he was crazy. But then I started seeing 23 everywhere.
"It entered my life in a big way," he says. "Suddenly I started driving all of my friends crazy."
Then someone mentioned Psalm 23, the Biblical poem with the passage "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. . . . Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil."
"It's basically about living without fear and knowing that you're taken care of," Carrey says.
Suddenly things made sense to Carrey, to such an extent that he even changed the name of his production company from Pitbull Productions to JC23.
"I was on the Net talking to someone about changing the name of my company to JC23," Carrey recalls, "and my friend talked about that psalm. . . . about the 'valley of the shadow of death.' At the same time, another friend walked into my office with a newspaper . . . that had a big headline that read, 'Death Valley Blooms.' It was the first time in 100 years that it did bloom because of extraordinary rain. Those seeds were waiting for 100 years.
"I thought: 'How fitting. I think I'm on a weird and special journey here,' " Carrey says.
Then he got a phone call that turned things a little spooky.
"I was explaining this company-name change to another friend," the actor says, "and he said: 'That's funny. I just wrote a script about the number 23.' I was totally freaked out. The first page of the script had me as this animal catcher capturing a pit bull. I went from Pitbull Productions to JC23, and the reason was not lost on me.
"The writer even told me to turn to the 23 rd page in his script and then asked me to start circling every 23 rd word on that page. It was written like a code that was really cool."
Carrey has a folder of pictures he took to document "23 incidents."
"I took these with my camera phone," Carrey says. "Look, here's a tow truck from when my car broke down, with a 23 on the side. It's the 23 rd truck in their fleet. I got the driver to take a picture of me with it. Look at the car in front of us in the picture. He has a 23 on his license plate.
"When I got to the hotel room here," he continues, "I was put in Room 1223. I look out my terrace, and the awning across the street is for the address 323. And then I ordered some breakfast, and there was a 23 written on my pancakes.
"OK, I made the last one up," he says, laughing. "But the rest is true, and it's eerie and freaky."

It Will All Come When It Comes
TODAY IS THE 23rd!! HAPPY HOLY DAY!
On a different note:
Have no fear – I have not abandoned you all, my children . . . I have been busy lately with a lot of jazz and haven't been able to form intelligent thoughts (or what passes as intelligent thought for me, anyway), and I feel it is better to write when you have something to say, rather than just natter on . . .
But do not dispair, I am in the works of compling discordian writings and hope to be finished by the end of July.
Of course, as a Discordian, or Erisian, or Chaoist, or whatever I want to refer to myself as today, I feel no need to pressure myself . . . Like the Happy Hooker said to the Pope: "It will all come when it comes."

23 Enigmas
Today is the 23rd.
Some 23 enigmas (some more 'true' than others) for you:
The human biorhythm is 23 days long. Though Hermann Swoboda and Wilhelm Fliess, the two doctors who first posited biorhythm, did determine that a human's 'physical cycle' was 23 days long, biorhythmics is at best a highly speculative and subjective area of study.
It takes 23 seconds for blood to circulate throughout the entire body. Blood is a suspension and does not flow at the same rate for all of its components. Furthermore, there is no single path blood takes when it circulates. For both these reasons, verification is both difficult and meaningless.
Each parent contributes 23 chromosomes to the DNA of a child. True.
The human arm has 23 joints in it. Unconfirmed, and confirmation depends on the definition of joint.
On average, every 23rd wave on a beach will be twice the size of the average wave. False. This idea exists in many parts of the world, with varying numbers of waves.
Earth's axis is off by 23.5 degrees. Dubious at best. For one, this is a case of stretched applicability, and it depends on using the arbitrary figure of a circle having 360 degrees to come up with an answer even close to 23.
Earth's period of rotation is really 23 hours and 56 minutes, not exactly 24 hours. (That's 4 minutes shorter than a day since a day is defined as the time between two noons on the same meridian, which is slightly longer than the period of rotation because meanwhile the Earth is revolving around the Sun.)
The first Moon landing, Apollo 11 was in the Sea of Tranquility at 23.63 degrees East. The second landing, Apollo 12, was in the Ocean of Storms, 23.42 degrees West. Also, 11 + 12, the numbers of the missions, add up to 23. Again, this is stretched as far as the degrees, and there are at least 11 pairs of integers that add to 23, not counting negative integers or zero.
December 23, 2012 is the date the Mayan calendar ends, predicting an apocalyptic event. The Mayan calendar's "Long Count" does indeed end on either the 21st or 23rd of December of 2012, depending on calculation.
Both the ancient Egyptian and Sumerian calendars begin on 23 July. Both calendars were apparently calculated from the date of the heliacal rising of Sirius, which does occur at that latitude around that time of year.
William Shakespeare was born on 23 April, died on 23 April and had his first portfolio published in 1623. His first play Titus Andronicus was performed January 23rd 1594. Though the last three statements are true, his actual date of birth remains unconfirmed (see his article for more information).
Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times when he was assassinated. True.
The Prophet Muhammad taught and received the wisdom of God for 23 years. There exist hadith that support this figure, but many more that give other lengths of time.
The Knights Templar had 23 Grand Masters, the last being Jacques de Molay. True.
The first song on the first side of the first Beatles album took 23 takes. That would be "I Saw Her Standing There" from Please Please Me, but in reality, the song that took the most takes was "Love Me Do," at fifteen.
John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 and his supposed assassin — Lee Harvey Oswald — was assassinated on November 24, 1963, the 23rd being in between. True.
If you add up all the digits in 9/11/2001 you get 23. Not exactly, this is another stretching. To make 23, add "11" as normal, but "2001" must be added as the numbers "2" and "1".
Michael Jordan's uniform number was 23 when he played for the Chicago Bulls. True
David Beckham wears the number 23 shirt for Real Madrid. True.
On a normal arabic alphabet keyboard, the 23rd letter W is right below and between 2 and 3. True.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt contains of 23 letters. True.
Pi's first six digits (3.14159) added together equal 23. True.
Caesar Augustus was born on 23 September. True.
Volkswagen's VW logo contains the roman numeral V (2+3=5) and the 23rd letter W. Volkswagen is based in Wolfsburg which starts with the 23rd letter. True.
666 is said to be taken from 2/3 = 0.666. Very unlikely; see the article Number of the Beast for its history.
John D. Rockefeller died on 23 May. True.
Hagbard (Karl Koch), German hacker and inventor of the trojan horse spyware, died on 23 May. Probable, but not definite. Also most likely a suicide, with the date chosen intentionally to fit this numerology.

Self-driving cars could mean better public transit, more green space and less congestion.
ome see an opportunity to create on-demand public transit that gets people where they're going faster and reaches more of the population. Or open up streets for more green space and greater walkability. Or redirect traffic to make it easier to hold functions like farmers markets.

Creating content on YouTube has been one of the most popular ways of expressing oneself in the past decade or so. The original content creators used whatever equipment they had at hand. Those early videos, although legendary by now, were rather low in quality. These days things are way different. In order to be a successful YouTuber, you will need a good camera but also a good microphone. Because of this we have put together a list of top 10 best condensers for YouTube and Vlogging. After we go over our picks we will discuss what makes these models good.
Design which includes crucial accessories in a very practical way.
USB connection makes it a plug and play device.
Rode NT-USB is arguably one of the most complete USB condensers currently available on the market. That is quite interesting considering that his mic has been around for a while. With that said, Rode's formula definitely still works. This mic brings a simple yet refined design that is known for its functionality and reliability. Its hardware aside, there's more goodies.
It appears that Rode is one of the very few brands out there who know how to do integrated accessories. The fact that Rode NT-USB comes with a super stable tripod as well as a hard pop filter, all at this price, is quite impressive. If you are just starting your YouTube gig, this model really is a perfect choice.
Compact design makes it a perfect choice for outdoors.
Great sound quality coming from two condenser pods.
Recording pattern designed to cover 360 degrees around the mic.
Good build quality which ensures reliability and durability.
One of the best cost effective solutions out there.
For as long as they've been present on the markets, you could rely o Audio Technica to provide a cost efficient and reliable product for whatever product you need. Same applies to condenser microphones. Audio Technica AT2020 has been considered to be the go to starter mic for a long time. It brings a perfect balance of price and performance.
When you take a closer look, you will see that AT2020 packs a very capable condenser capsule which is great for learning the ropes on and generally getting familiar with the condenser design. All you really need is the source of phantom power which usually means an audio interface of some sort or an actual small mixer of some kind.
Great performance guaranteed by a proper 1" condenser diaphragm.
If you need a good bang for your buck, chances are that Behringer is going to pop up on your shortlist. That is what they are know for. Behringer B-1 is one of the most interesting budget condensers out there which still deliver great sound quality all around. It is also a great choice if you like a vintage design.
The cool thing about the Behringer B-1 is that it comes with a few features which you don't often see among its direct competitors. We are talking attenuation pads as well as filters. The core hardware is good quality stuff that gets the job done and then some. At this price, it is really a practical solution that's worth considering.
Functional design that is easy to work with.
MXL is another trusted name in the industry which you can trust. This applies no matter if you are a beginner or an intermediate user. On a grand scheme of things, MXL 2006 comes in as a very solid general purpose microphone. It is quite rugged, stylish, built well and just something you can rely on for your daily work.
The package itself is fairly simple. You get a microphone and a shock mount, all in a nice hard shell protective case. In other word, you will need an audio interface and a pop filter. If you are on a tight budget and want something that is a bit brighter, MXL 2006 works quite well in most cases and applications.
Simple and neutral design which fits in anywhere.
Wide range of applications outside of voice recording.
Samson designs follow a very simple line of reasoning. It is all about function over form, although in some cases function definitely dictates form. Samson C01 is both functional and aesthetically acceptable. Samson has this habit of going for super neutral looks when they aren't doing something specific. Since C01 is fairly standard, they followed that neutral policy all over.
In terms of performance, it works quite well. The sound quality's pretty good considering the size of the diaphragm they have packed inside there. This is still a large diaphragm unit but the diaphragm is smaller than what a lot of other LD condensers in this range come with. Aside from the mic, mount and a protective case are included.
Great performance overall with plenty of headroom to play with.
It is no secret that MXL 990 is one of the most popular condensers on the market. There are so many reasons for it that they would be too long to list. The ones that are important for us is MXL 990's legendary performance, simple design and consistency. It is a great option for those who need a proven option.
The package is fairly straight forward. You get the microphone, a standard screw mount, a proprietary shock mount and a proper protective hard case. Thanks to its large fine tuned large diaphragm, you can use the MXL 990 in just about any application aside from YouTube. The mic takes a bit of getting used to but that pretty much normal.
Sometimes the microphone you use isn't only a tool but also a style statement. Especially if the mic is seen in your videos. In a sea of silver pills, Nady PM-200 comes across as one of the most interesting looking condensers on the market. You're looking at a classic design which has a lot of that vintage value to it.
Looks are not all this mic has to offer. It actually packs a great set of hardware inside. The condenser capsule is a standard cardioid one, but it works quite well. The thing to keep in mind about this design is that you are limited in terms of mounting options. You are more or less stuck with a screw mount.
Great aesthetics which have a strong neutral vibe.
Tascam's microphones are fairly well known for their reliable performance. Even better, that performance usually comes at a very reasonable price. Tascam TM-80 perfectly represents what this brand is all about. It's a standard condenser package that shares the design with a number of other mics in this range. However, that wasn't a problem for Tascam in the long run.
Standing out aesthetically isn't all that important if you have your performance covered. Tascam TM-80 definitely offers that. It is a well built package that works well with a number of different mounts, thus allowing you to set it up as you please. Overall, it's a great starter model for anyone who is looking to get into the condenser game.
Light weight and cost efficient solution.
Good for recording wearer's voice but not much more.
Since creating content for YouTube tends to often take place outside, using a bulky condenser isn't always an option. If that is the case for you, something like this Rode smartLav+ might just be the perfect solution for your needs. It is a super compact mic that is easy to work with and quite formidable in terms of overall performance.
Naturally it is worth noting that lavalier mics are pretty limited in the scope of uses they can address. For example, they are not something you would use to record ambient sound. However, if all you really need is to record your own voice or that of a person you are interviewing, you should find this mic quite impressive overall.
When people first get into YouTube, they are often times lost when it comes to what they should or shouldn't do gear wise. The general idea is that all you really need is a fairly decent camera, a good idea and you are set to go. Unfortunately the reality is something completely different. If you go to YT right now and open a video from your favorite YouTubers, chances are that they have stellar video but also rock solid audio. While we usually can tell if the footage itself is good or bad, audio tends to be one of those things not everyone notices. As a matter of fact, when the audio is done right most people won't even notice it. However, if it is not on a level where it needs to be, your entire video loses on value. So much so that some videos are borderline unwatchable simply due to the lack of appropriate audio quality.
Covering your audio becomes even more important if you are not doing video heavy stuff. What we mean by this is mostly narration over animated content or something along those lines. When your only connection to your audience is your voice, it is in your best interest to make sure that it is of decent quality.
A condenser microphone is simply the most logical solution when it comes to recording audio for YouTube videos. Condensers were designed to do a good job with recording human voice in all of its glory which is something they are doing best up to this day. A condenser microphone can capture the warmth human voice unlike most dynamic mics.
Does that mean that you have to invest in a $500 condenser in order to have decent audio? Absolutely not, but upgrading to one down the road is definitely something worth looking into. The models we have listed above are easily among the best condensers on the market. Yet they are not expensive in most cases and offer quite a decent performance considering their price. To say that you have to have expensive gear in order to achieve acceptable audio quality is simply not true. It is much better to have an affordable condenser than none at all.
What Makes A Good Condenser For YouTube?
Even though the hardware and performance requirements necessary for proper YouTube audio is nowhere near as strict as requirements for music recording, some standards still do exist. There are features which you might want to look for, which is what we are going to talk about next. Before we get to that, lets discuss connectivity as it tends to be the first question most beginners have.
Connectivity - USB or XLR?
The fact is that both of these options have their benefits but also their drawbacks. On one hand, you have the undeniable ease of use that USB standard offers. There are no additional pieces of gear necessary and you can just plug the mic in when you need to use it. In addition to that, a USB microphone draws all of the power it needs through the USB cable, meaning that you can use it on the go.
However, the fact that you are converting the analog signal into a digital one within the microphone means that the sound quality is going to suffer. How important is this to you depends on your needs and requirements. USB microphones are perfectly suitable for beginners and those who simply don't care that much about audio quality. If however you want reach high levels of quality, an XLR setup could be a more suitable choice. Not only because there is no digital conversion within the mic itself, but also because the type of audio interface can also affect the performance of your microphone. At the end of the day a standard XLR setup gives you much more latitude when it comes to what you can do and how far you can push your gear.
Some of the features which can come handy when creating YT content are mostly related to hardware. If you are on a budget, try to find a model that comes with a shock mount or at least a screw mount. Tripods and stands are not too important considering that a good number of them are borderline useless after a while. With that said, you should plan how you want to use your mic. Is it going to be sitting on your desktop or are you going to be using a boom arm? Having these pieces of information beforehand can be quite handy as some mics are optimized for one mount or the other.
A proper shock mount is important because reducing vibrations is the best way to reduce noise in your recordings. Naturally, this implies that you have taken all of the other steps necessary when recording audio. Aside from hardware accessories, it is worth looking into different polar patterns. Your standard cardioid is going to work just fine in most cases although a figure 8 or a super cardioid could come handy if you are trying to capture more than one person's voice with a single microphone. Attenuation pads are a good bonus but definitely not something you should dwell on too much.
At the end of the day, a good YouTube and vlogging condenser can be described as one that offers good core performance. All of the rules for condensers apply here as well, although you don't need to be as strict. The models on our list represent a great set of options for beginners and intermediate users. If we had to choose one model from the entire list, that Rode NT-USB takes the case. The reason for this is because it offers the best combination of performance, features and functionality for the price. With that said, all of these are great.

Q: Center child ConstraintLayout vertically in parent I am trying to create a layout with a child ContraintLayout group that is centered vertically in a parent ConstraintLayout which also allows for the child to increase its size vertically if it needs to
if there is a lot of text.
This is what I have with it centered how I want but when using the

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

what do I need to adjust so I can have the constraint layout that holds the message TextView to be centered and increase its height when there is more text with the app:autoSizeTextType="uniform" attribute?

A: From the docs:

Note: If you set autosizing in an XML file, it is not recommended to use the value "wrap_content" for the layout_width or layout_height attributes of a TextView. It may produce unexpected results.

If you can't set a fixed height to the TextView, you should be able to specify match_constraints for the maximum size and make adjustments programmatically depending upon your exact requirements.

I think calling this a "student-led uprising" is possibly a little disingenuous. Surely it's just a bunch of mobilisations in favour of AMLO, the social democratic Presidential candidate?
That said, almost every single Mexican person I know is heavily supporting it.
If it is 'a bunch of mobilisations in favour of AMLO', it's by default as it hasn't expressed a position regarding López Obredor and is primarily an Anti-Enrique Peña Nieto (EPN) and anti-PRI movement (there's a manifesto here). It's horizontal, in its early days and democratisation of the media (the meaning of which I think needs tying down) is arguably impossible within the limits of reformism...


Hi everyone! @Ziltch did a fantastic job writing up the caravans thread and I was inspired to create a video with my views and facts around this mechanic as well.
Also, I liked the graphics you used when explaining the various features of it.
I enjoyed this. Gonna spread to guildies.
Only comment is each server will be supplied with different resources at same time. So another factor is mining village on server 1 could get a lot of copper vs server 2 could get silver.
Nice Video. As an economy focused Player I already knew most stuff, But this sums everything into a single source really handy. Thank you for this.
Appreciate that Santy! That was my intention to put it all in one source for easy reference. Thanks again!


In the National Park "Land of the Leopard" summed up the results of photomonitoring.
Experts processed almost million images.
They photographed more than a hundred wild cats.
Far Eastern scientists set a goal - 150 individuals of the Far Eastern leopard.
This figure will be an indicator that the critical population threat has passed.
Now there are 91 adult spotted cat and 22 kids live on the "Land of the Leopard".
There are 400 automatic cameras on the territory of national park.
This is the largest network of the photomonitoring.
Now the national park pay attention to the tourism.
New project - photo labs. This service is very popular among professional photographers.
In 2018 about five thousand people visited the ecological routes of the national park and "Kedrovaya Pad" national park.

Jo Dee Messina Diagnosed With Cancer
David September 7, 2017	Nashville Music Scene w/ Jerry Holthouse 573 Views
Our thoughts and prayers are with country singer Jo Dee Messina who announced on Wednesday that she has been diagnosed with cancer. The following statement was posted on her website:
Over the years, Jo Dee has built a close relationship with her fans, so those of us at Team JDM wanted to be the first to let you know that she was recently diagnosed with cancer. It has been a trying summer, but her heart has been filled with gratitude for the many opportunities she has had to see God's hand at work.
As many of you know, Jo Dee is a believer who feels blessed to be surrounded by the love of God — a love that has brought her the inner peace. On her lowest of low days, she has been able to see God's hand at work and feel His love as she continues her walk. It is because of our Father's love that she has been able to find the beauty in the days that could have brought her the most fear, gratitude in moments that most would call unfair, and companionship during times she might feel the loneliest.
We don't know anything specific regarding the treatment plan at this point, but Jo Dee is working closely with a team to explore all options. She has taken the semester off from classes at The King's University, and her last tour date for the year will be October 7 (all other 2017 dates are being postponed), as she will begin cancer treatment this Fall.
Jo Dee has been working with producer Seth Mosley, and in a recent writing session wrote the song "Here" with Seth and Mia Fieldes. Seth was deeply moved to see her faith following her diagnosis while the two worked in the studio together. "It was one of the most powerful moments I've had in my entire studio career," Seth told Team JDM. "To see Jo Dee singing 'there's no pain, there's no fear, here' through the cancer and the chaos that she is walking through…God is going to use her and her story to intercept people in their pain and remind them that He is near."
We will continue to keep fans updated on Jo Dee's journey and appreciate the outpouring of love, prayers, and support she has already received.
-Team JDM
Messina has charted nine number one singles on the Billboard country music charts and sold over 5 million records worldwide.

When we talk about civil law cases between two parties, it is important that whatever action or lawsuit will be filed to the other party, they must receive a formal notice. It is for them to know that there has been a lawsuit that was filed against them.
But we can not deny the fact that there are people, especially those who are guilty will try to avoid the legal action notice. That's where the constructive notice is necessary. Even if that person, who is intended to receive the legal action will be out of town or simply out of reach, he or she is still expected to have knowledge about the action.
What Is a Constructive Notice?
The law defines the constructive notice as a legal fiction that gives a person or an entity a knowledge of a notice in word even if that particular notice did not exist or it was not personally delivered to that person or entity. The law also stated that a public notice placed on the bulletin board of the courthouse can be a replacement for an actual notice.
For example, the court may allow the notice of a lawsuit to a person to be placed on any publication in the newspaper, especially if that person is trying to avoid that legal notice. The act of putting the notice in the approve newspaper to summon the person is considered to be a legal notice to perform and is treated as a constructive notice.
One of the ways for the court of law to provide a notice or information is to publicize it. That court of law presumes that the individual or group of individuals who are the receiver of the sample notice are expected to have seen it. This is because it is difficult to see how the other party could not know about the notice or the action.
What Is the Difference Between Actual and Constructive Notice?
The actual notice and the constructive notice are the two ways to deliver the information regarding of filing a lawsuit to the other party. However, there is a difference between the two.
The actual notice is the handling of notice letter over the other party in person. This means that the actual notice was delivered directly to the person or an entity. It is sometimes called a direct notice because there is no doubt that the notice was delivered personally.
The constructive notice is also considered to be an actual notice, but it is used when the other party is out of reach. This notice presumes that the other party has knowledge of the action.
What Is the Doctrine of Constructive Notice?
The doctrine of constructive two week's notice defines that a person who has a connection to the company is presumed to have read the company's documents and public records and presumed to have understood them in the perspective of that particular person.
The doctrine of constructive notice in pdf has a theory called the indoor management where it protects the company from the outsiders and the other doctrine also serve to protect the outsider from the company.
