The European Exchange
Are Australia and Europe more distant than ever?
The Goethe Institut is hosting two events, one in Melbourne and one in Sydney, for a timely re-examination of Australia's longstanding relationship with Europe.
Will fresh thinking about the exchange between Australia and Europe enliven our future? How can we stay connected across the tyrannies of COVID-closed borders and vast distance? How can we open new opportunities for collaboration?
The events will feature contributors to Griffith Review 69: The European Exchange – co-edited by Natasha Cica and Ashley Hay, and published in partnership with the Australian National University. The Weekend Australian named The European Exchange in its selection of the best reads of 2020.
Each event will involve a discussion with Q&A – facilitated by Natasha Cica, director of change consultancy Kapacity.org and recognised as one of Australia's 100 Women of Influence.
Sydney Speakers:
Julianne Schultz AM FAHA is the publisher and founding editor of Griffith Review. She is a professor at Griffith University's Centre for Social and Cultural Research and chair of The Conversation. Her most recent book, The Idea of Australia will be published later this year.
Frank Bongiorno AM is a Professor and Head of History at the Australian National University. He wrote The Sex Lives of Australians: A History and The Eighties: The Decade that Transformed Australia, and is a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia and the Australian Academy of Humanities.

Q: Jack audio kit API thread synchronization Jack kit API uses a callback from its (real-time) thread for processing audio data:
jack_set_process_callback (client, process, 0);
...

int process(jack_nframes_t nframes, void *arg)
{
    ...
}

How can I thread-safely transmit some parameters to this callback (without blocking operations, of course)? I don't need only to transmit parameters, but also to re-initialize audio filtering object, therefore I need to find event-based solution.

A: Allocate your event in your main thread and send a pointer to that event to your audio thread using a ringbuffer (jack/ringbuffer.h).  Use a second ringbuffer to send the pointer back to your main thread so you can free the memory.
There's a good, simple example at http://harryhaaren.blogspot.com/2011/11/tutorial-jack-ringbuffers.html

According to The Forward, it's tough times for City University of New York trustee, Jeffrey Wiesenfeld, the man who opposed awarding winning playwright Tony Kusher an honorary degree last week. But Wiesenfeld, a former FBI counterintelligence agent who grew up on the Bronx streets getting bullied by the Irish and Puerto Rican kids, is tough. After much noise and embarrassment CUNY reversed their decision, though Wiesenfeld remains opposed. "There are people who don't like the fact that there are tough Jews," says one of Wiesenfeld's friends, Hank Sheinkopf, about the Kushner affair.


Commodities and commodities-stock speculators have had quite a rough-and-tumble last full month of summer. In a season where the markets typically hold traders in a mire of malaise, various extraneous events have awoken the volatility beast making for an exciting August.
With general stocks retreating from record-high levels in mid-July, commodities stocks have transcended general stock losses and have temporarily bucked the historically-inverse correlation with general-stock bears. Precious-metals-stock traders in particular have endured a session of wailing and gnashing of teeth. Key tactical support levels of the venerable HUI gold-stock index were sliced through like a warm knife through butter.
But though the commodities stocks have taken some abuse of recent, this fearful selling is seemingly just shaking out the over-leveraged and weak-handed traders. Far too often traders forget that volatile consolidations are par for the course within commodities bulls. All this activity might just be the final rebalancing of sentiment so a powerful new upleg can emerge.
Now though in the last six weeks or so this mini-stock panic has looked like the end of the world for some, the performance of most of the underlying commodities was nowhere near as bad. But the behavior of one commodity in particular, silver, has really riled up many traders.
While gold has weathered this recent stock-market maelstrom rather well, silver's erratic behavior has prompted a number of its long-faithful investors to question its steadfastness. Frankly I was shocked to see some of the wild commentary and distraught inquiries into the supposed perils of this white metal. Let's take a look at what this fuss is all about.
This first chart displays the 2007 performance of gold and silver using daily closing data. As you can see gold has done just fine so far this year showing strong support off its 200-day moving average. The Ancient Metal of Kings is still in the midst of a textbook-perfect uptrend off of its October 2006 low under $570 and has powered 23% higher to its highs earlier this year.
But looking at this chart, the "as goes gold so goes silver" mantra hasn't quite played out of late. And this is why silver traders are up in arms. All this commotion does surprise me though, as experienced and battle-hardened silver traders should understand the white metal's fickleness compared to gold.
Regardless, this short-term chart has many folks scratching their heads. And the apparent technical breakdown of silver over the last several months has miffed even some of the silver elite.
Now the undulations of gold and silver are nearly identical from a quick visual glance, especially if one data set is transposed directly over the other. The differences on both the flows and the ebbs though are in the extremes, when prices move sharply in either direction. And silver's extremes have given its trend a whole different look than gold's.
Whereas gold has been trending up bouncing off its 200dma, silver has been in a six-month downtrend. It has actually spent much of the last couple months at prices below its 200dma. And where gold is currently trading above where it began the year, the price of silver is lower than its opening price.
Even more alarming to silver traders is the depth to which its price had recently fallen below its key 200dma. As measured by percentage, it was the lowest point in its entire bull! Silver's relative weakness has got a lot of attention recently.
This first very-short-term look at silver can indeed paint a somber picture. But the picture that short-term analysis sometimes paints may not always depict prevailing strategic realities. Even the most beautiful cities in the world have slums. But if a slum is the first part of a city you view, the rest won't pique your interest. Perhaps all you need to do is stroll down the street in order to change this initial opinion.
If we zoom out a little and take a look at silver over the last 18 months, things don't look as bleak. This next chart captures silver's bull-to-date high achieved in May of last year. And this latest and most powerful upleg that vaulted the price of silver to nearly $15 occurred in impressive parabolic fashion.
Though futures and stock speculators that were long during this parabola saw legendary gains, those that didn't heed the overbought warning signs were quick to lose much of these gains during the imminent and sharp correction to follow.
At Zeal we rode much of the 2005/2006 upleg and scored fantastic gains for ourselves and our newsletter subscribers. But much to the chagrin of the metals-markets perma-bulls, we saw the writing on the wall for an imminent correction. A correction that was necessary in order to stay the integrity of silver's awesome secular bull and shed excessively greedy sentiment.
And of course the downside of a parabola is never pretty. Parabolas tend to breed equally sharp movements to the downside. And this sharp correction took silver to its June 2006 low under $10, a 35% loss in just 23 trading days. Stocks of course fared much worse.
After this sharp correction it was common perception that silver would either begin its next upleg off its major interim low or enter into a consolidation phase. A sideways consolidation would simply bleed off the resonating euphoria from the previous massive upleg.
Well for a period of about 8 months, it looked as though silver was off to the races as it carved a beautiful upward trend that in late February brought it to within 2% of its bull high less than a year earlier. But in late February the metals and stocks hit a wall, with the Chinese stock-market selloff acting as a catalyst.
Timing-wise, this Chinese stock selloff seemed to mark a turning point for silver. Its uptrend broke and it soon formed a downtrend that we seem to still be in today. But though silver's initial uptrend from its June 2006 low indeed broke, it is important to view this in context and seriously consider the time horizon in question.
This upward trend channel was young, only 8 months old. And support on a less-than-one-year-old trend channel is not only non-secular in nature, but it lacks foundational strength. So giving a different look to this chart, the 8-month uptrend and 6-month-old downtrend can indeed be combined to form a 14-month consolidation.
As of now this consolidation could be drawn as an ascending wedge, illustrated by the transparent red lines. If silver was to drop further though, the support and resistance lines could simply be redrawn to form a horizontal trend channel illustrating a sideways consolidation. And there is quite a bit more wiggle room before silver approaches its major interim low under $10.
Again, it is important to consider this consolidation in the context of time. Though a 14-month consolidation is no fun for investors, let's zoom out yet again to get an even bigger picture of today's consolidation and see how it strategically fits into silver's entire bull.
Charts indeed provide an excellent visual of market conditions, and technical analysis is very useful on many levels. But no two analysts will paint the same exact picture. Charts can be interpreted many different ways and lines can be drawn at various slopes depending on the message that is trying to be relayed.
When I look at the big picture of our silver bull to date, I see two massive uplegs capped by parabolic ascents. And these uplegs are followed by two long periods of consolidation led off by sizeable corrections.
The first massive upleg took silver to heights it had not seen since the late 1980s. And after silver reached its 2004 apex just over $8, a long consolidating wedge was formed that lasted for about 18 months before it finally broke out to the upside.
Several times during this 18-month consolidation silver knifed through its relative support zone, or below its 200dma. Relativity is a trading tool we use at Zeal that simply measures where silver is trading relative to its 200dma. I encourage you to read up on relativity if you are not familiar with it.
Now in bull markets, prices tend to soar above their 200dmas in uplegs and retreat to their 200dmas in corrections. This action causes the 200dma to rise on balance during the bull. And even during this 18-month consolidation higher lows indeed caused the 200dma to rise as the price of silver remained high.
Occasionally silver dipped below its 200dma and relative support zone, but as you can see this never lasted too long. Even as silver consolidated to bleed off the greed and prep for the next upleg, its price remained high compared to its lows in previous years. The sub-$5 grind in the years leading up to this upleg were history, as silver's average price throughout the course of this first long consolidation was nearly $7.
These continually rising prices and a rising 200dma cemented the case that silver had followed gold and entered into a secular bull market. This was further reinforced as silver entered into its second massive upleg toward the end of 2005. And this latest upleg was something to behold. The price of silver more than doubled in just 7 months leading to its May 2006 peak near $15!
Well 14+ months later, our current consolidation is starting to look eerily familiar to the previous consolidation that led up to this latest massive upleg. From this higher-level view, I was able to reshape the support and resistance lines from the previous chart and draw a wedge similar to the 2004/2005 consolidation.
Again, today's support failure is not the first time in this bull, or even consolidation, that it has happened. Now the extreme piercing of support I'll admit does warrant some chatter. Panic selling a couple weeks ago brought rSilver to a low point of 0.88, or 88% of its 200dma. This is obviously the lowest point in this entire bull, trumping the previous low achieved in May of 2004.
But what does this new rSilver low truly mean? Does it mark the end of this bull market? Is it time to sell? I don't think so! First, let's consider where silver is today. Now judging by the prevailing sentiment, you'd think it was trading at $5 an ounce again. But close to $12 today, silver is still at levels that were unthinkable just a few years ago.
Even looking at this chart you can easily see that this consolidation is flagging on the high side of this latest massive upleg. This is testament alone that the bull is not over. On top of this, silver today is still 170% higher than its 2003 lows and 43% higher than the high from its previous upleg.
Just like gold, silver is still in the first half of a secular bull market that should see it go much higher. I don't know how this lengthy consolidation will turn out or when the next massive upleg will begin, but this recent break in relative support does not damage the integrity of the bull.
Ultimately silver and silver-stock speculators should have come to accept volatility by now. This white metal is by far the more volatile of the PMs as it lies in a speculators' market. Its market is less than a fifth the size of gold, so it doesn't take a lot of capital to move this metal in either direction.
From a fundamental perspective there have been no structural changes to silver's smashingly bullish fundamentals. In fact, silver's fundamentals should continue to buttress the future of this volatile metal and the stocks that will bring it to market today and tomorrow.
Silver's fundamentals today are ultimately the same as they were when its bull began. Suppliers continue to struggle to meet market demand and silver investment continues to rise. In fact, its indispensable industrial applications are still seemingly immune to rising prices. This of course makes sense since only small amounts of silver are used per unit of a finished product. The silver cost per unit is usually trivial compared to total manufacturing costs.
This is supported by a recent GFMS study that marked 2006 as the fifth consecutive up-year for silver's use in industrial applications. This was led by both China and Japan showing greater than 10% year-over-year growth with the US up an impressive 6%. And this all comes on the heels of the major industrial opposition to last year's launch of the famed silver ETF.
SLV has proven to be wildly successful for this silver bull since it went live last spring. So much so that this ETF was a big catalyst to the flurry of speculative excitement that gave fuel to silver's parabolic rise.
The opposition to SLV was afraid that an ETF would reduce the silver on the market and cause prices to rise. In a sense they were right, but the reason their opposition was thwarted by the SEC simply boils down to their selfish ambitions, they want cheap silver. Silver is indeed an industrial metal, but the successful launch of this ETF proves that its precious aspect should not be taken for granted.
The success of SLV has shown that there is a wider market for silver as an investment than originally thought. Since its custodian's initial silver investment of about 21m ounces in April of 2006, the amount of silver in trust has grown to greater than 141m ounces. This is an incredible increase of 570% in just over a year since this ETF went live!
Another report out of GFMS really bolsters silver's fundamentals. This report identifies 10-year growth for world silver fabrication through 2005 of 37% for industrial uses and 61% for coins. And though it shows silver's use in photography down by 22% over this time, there are some interesting facts that come out of this.
Most interesting is that 2005 marked the first time that silver demand for jewelry was greater than its demand in photography. This is important because 60% of the silver used in photography is recycled, whereas a very small amount of silver is recycled from jewelry. Steady jewelry demand and shrinking photography demand can be spun in positive fashion. And because of the differing recycle rates, this trend could end up creating more overall demand for silver.
So with silver's still-excellent fundaments and a technical picture that is not as scary as people think, opportunities still abound for investors. And I believe silver stocks remain the best vehicle for speculation and investment. The explorers, developers and producers tasked with bringing this metal to market offer spectacular leverage to the price of their underlying metal.
But since three-quarters of the silver that comes to market is just byproduct revenue for some of the major global mining conglomerates, it is the other one-quarter that comes from primary silver companies that warrants our capital. These primary silver companies are what stock traders can use to directly leverage silver. They live or die by its secular price trends.
With the abuse that the commodities stocks have taken of recent, silver stocks in particular, there are now excellent buying opportunities available to layer in for the next run-up in silver. At Zeal we periodically publish research reports that among many things help feed our newsletter trades. And this spring we published a report profiling our 20 favorite silver stocks.
In this report are detailed fundamental profiles of the silver stocks we believe have the highest probabilities-for-success to prosper in silver's next upleg. Many of these stocks have been sold off with the markets and are now at or near oversold technically opportune buy points. If you would like to have this valuable report at your fingertips please purchase it today.
The bottom line is though silver appears to be weak, especially compared to gold, this shouldn't come as a surprise due to its hyper-speculative nature. Even with silver in the midst of a mini-downtrend and relative support at a bull record low, there is still no reason to panic.
The uptrend and downtrend that have followed the major interim low off silver's May 2006 top should be considered in strategic context. These separate trends are turning out to just be tactical noise in what is panning out to be a long consolidation similar to the one following silver's first major upleg.
Investors now have the opportunity to become true contrarians and deploy speculative capital into the much-feared silver-stock environment. If silver's last two uplegs and consolidations tell the story of what is to come, then legendary gains could be just around the corner.

Funny update of ql2400 and ql2500 devices in Fedora 14
ql2400 and ql2500 update in Fedora 14
Although some people think it's a joke (see kalev's comment on 2011-09-17 19:13:44 in the bugfix report), I won't install this update; I agree it's funny but refusing to install it at least gives me the feeling I have still something to say on my system (that's also what free software are for, isn't it?).
I also like what the (same) submitter wrote for the first update:
Updated qlogic 2400 and 2500 firmware to 5.03.13. What does 5.03.13 do? No one knows, except for QLogic, and they're not telling. I asked, and they told me that information was only available under NDA. So, I encourage you to imagine what this firmware does, and the bugs it fixes. While you're at it, imagine a world where vendors release source code for their firmware.

Kinetics, in situ X-ray diffraction and environmental scanning electron microscopy of activated charcoal gasification catalyzed by vanadium oxide, molybdenum oxide and their eutectic alloy

DQ - Departamento de Química
Mechanisms of carbon oxidation catalyzed by vanadium pentaoxide (V2O5) and molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) have been a subject of controversy. Two complementary in situ techniques, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), were used in this work to study the gasification of an activated charcoal catalyzed by the two metal oxides, their eutectic alloy and the binary mixture with the eutectic composition. Gasification experiments were carried out at relatively low temperatures (300-650°C) in an XRD cell (1 atm) and ESEM (2.2 Torr) to monitor phase transformations and morphological changes of oxide catalysts, respectively. The experimental results showed that MoO3 and V2O5 particles in contact with active carbon surfaces are reduced to oxides with lower oxidation states, e.g. MoO2 and V6O13, respectively. The reduction of MoO3 to MoO2 on the carbon surface prevents the sublimation of MoO3 which takes place readily on a quartz surface under the same conditions. The formation of V6O13, on the other hand, causes more extensive spreading of the catalyst on carbon surfaces, since V6O13 has a lower melting point than V2O5. Based on the XRD and ESEM observations, it is clear that phase transformations of metal oxides during gasification depend on their interactions with carbon surfaces. The phase transformations of the metal oxides, play, in turn, a significant role in carbon gasification, as evident from the kinetic data obtained for the catalytic gasification of the activated charcoal sample. The synergy observed between the components of the eutectic mixture is discussed, comparing the XRD and ESEM observations.

Q: Fetch posts by there location from firebase with swift I want to fetch posts from my firebase database and print them to the console when the user enters a 1km radius of the posts. I can find hardly anything about doing this online. Could someone help me out with the code to do this.

A:
You can easily find places within 1 km by this.

var array = [Any]()
handle = ref?.child("Location").observe(.value, with: { (snapshot) in
       for child in snapshot.children {
        let snap = child as! DataSnapshot
        let key = snap.key
        let value = snap.value

        // Using value["latitude"] & value["longitude"] find distance from location

       if distance <= 1.0 {
            array.append(value)
       }
       print(array)
     }
    })

GeoFire is an open-source library that allows you to store and query a
  set of keys based on their geographic location. At its heart, GeoFire
  simply stores locations with string keys. Its main benefit, however,
  is the possibility of retrieving only those keys within a given
  geographic area - all in realtime.
GeoFire uses the Firebase Realtime Database for data storage, allowing

AGL sets Liddell power plant replacement timeline
By Cole Latimer
April 27, 2018 — 7.00pm
AGL has set a potential timeline for its replacement of the energy lost when it shuts down the Liddell coal-fired power plant.
Speaking at an event following its commitment to build a new 252-megawatt gas-fired power station in Newcastle, NSW, AGL chief executive Andy Vesey said the energy company could commit to phase two of its three-stage Liddell power plant generation replacement plan by the end of the year.

AGL wants to close Liddell in 2022 and has outlined a plan to replace the 1680 megawatts the plant produced in three separate stages over the next five years. It has already completed stage one ahead of schedule.
Last year, AGL released a three-stage plan to replace the megawatts lost from its shutdown after the government gave it 90 days to either sell the power plant, keep it open, or develop new generation. This replacement plan includes a 100-megawatt upgrade to the nearby Bayswater coal-fired power plant, new gas-fired power plants, both a solar and a wind farm, a battery installation and pumped hydro at the adjacent Lake Liddell.
Mr Vesey said AGL could commit more quickly to the next stages of energy development if the National Energy Guarantee (NEG) policy was legislated and if it could gain the right level of support from major energy users.
"The two conditions we have with moving forward are the promulgation of the National Energy Guarantee, because we need those policy guarantees and are optimistic and supportive of that, and the second is that we have support from the commercial and industrial sectors to support that level of investment," Mr Vesey said.
"That [energy] gap will be eliminated," he said, adding that all three stages will happen in the absence of other investment by the market, if the shortfall continues to exist.
Mr Vesey said while it could happen with only major energy users' support, it was preferable to have both conditions fulfilled as "before investing millions and millions of dollars you need to have some sort of policy certainty".
The government hopes to legislate the NEG in October or November.
Mr Vesey also hit back at claims by federal Environment and Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg that AGL is falling short of replacing the energy that will be lost when the Liddell power plant closes.
Speaking on ABC radio on Friday, Mr Frydenberg welcomed AGL's commitment to building a new gas-fired power plant, adding, "but let's bear in mind this is an additional 200 megawatts of capacity, it's a peaking plant."
"When Liddell closes it is 1800 megawatts that will be taken out of the system."
Mr Frydenberg said as a peaking plant the facility would be under-utilised as it would only be used when electricity demand was very high and more power was needed immediately. Mr Vesey acknowledged that the new gas plant would probably only run for 30 days a year but dismissed Mr Frydenberg's broader statements, saying this is just the completion of the first of three phases, "there are many phases to go."
Andy Vesey, chief executive of AGL, said the future of replacing Liddell could hinge on the National Energy Guarantee's approval. Credit:James Alcock
"I can understand the caution that's been expressed by the energy minister and he has an obligation to make sure there's not a shortfall; we know what we're going to do and if we execute fully I don't think he'll have that concern," Mr Vesey said.
He added that Liddell's shortfall may also be replaced by other competitors in the market, potentially negating the need for continued investment in phases two and three.
Commenting on the potential acquisition of Liddell by rival energy company Alinta, which plans to keep the power station operating beyond 2022, Mr Vesey said an offer still hasn't been put on the table.

Shelter Drummer Sammy Siegler on Their Early Tours with Inside Out, Type O Negative + More
By Carlos Ramirez | @MusicQuizKing | 10.21.2019
Photo: Josh Blanchard
The last time I checked in with drummer Sammy Siegler, we chatted about his life in the hardcore scene, playing in such bands as Youth of Today, Side by Side, and Shelter. It's the latter group that brings us to today's piece as Shelter will be embarking on a European tour next month, and a pair of dates in Brooklyn, NY and Garfield, NJ (both presented by No Echo).
Since Shelter is going back out on the road I figured it would be a good time to get Sammy's thoughts on the band and its history.
When we previously chatted about your career on No Echo, you said the you initially felt threatened by Ray's voyage into Krishna consciousness. You then said: "I wanted Youth of Today back, and all this shit, but in retrospect, that was pretty fucking cool. Dudes in Krishna robes playing hardcore. It was punk, dangerous, and badass."
I know you weren't in the band at that point, but what do you remember about those early Shelter shows and the reaction they got?
Yes, I was 15 in '88, we were on tour that summer and Ray was getting into Krishna. I was so into the band, I had just joined in '87, and felt somewhat threatened by it all. Ray would stay at the temples, hang out less, and it only got more intense when we went to Europe in '89. As an adult looking back I get it, I understand that people need to evolve, people change, and so on. I remember drawing a mustache on a photo of Krishna he had in the van by the drivers seat, that wasn't cool, forgive me Krishna and Raghunath!
But yeah, when Shelter came out it was different, the song "Shelter" with the drum machine and samples. I think what really struck me was when Ray was on the cover of Maximum Rocknroll, that magazine was a big deal to us and the photo (or multiple images) looked really scary and weird. I think they were also on the cover of the Village Voice, although I could be wrong. It was amazing how many kids embraced Hare Krishna, it seemed like there were hundreds of Krishna Core Shelter fans that appeared when that band was formed.
Maximum Rocknroll, December 1989.
One of the first things you did once you did start playing in Shelter was self-book a tour with Inside Out and Quicksand. In that aforementioned interview, you said "...we were traveling in a school bus filled with Hare Krishnas, and as a Winnebago filled with the Maharaja, who was like the leader, and there was this funky van with the non-Krishna guys like me, Porcell, who wasn't Krishna yet, and Zack [de la Rocha] and Alex [Barreto] from Inside Out in it."
That sounds like a story that could have happened back in the late '60s! How were the shows (turnouts, etc.) and how did the California dudes get along with the NYC dudes?
I got a list of phone numbers on a piece of paper from YOT's booking agent, Doug Caron, and booked this tour from my bedroom at age 17. The shows were good, I don't believe there were any duds. Quicksand were traveling on their own, so we weren't hanging with them as much. But the CA/NYC connection was strong, we already knew each other from touring in California, they were all really funny, especially Zack, I remember non-stop jokes.

We had a fluorescent orange hat that we called "The Conch." If you had The Conch, you were aloud to speak, here's a photo of Zack with The Conch and a Pizzsoy, which was top-notch Vegan fare back then:

Another Shelter tour you did back in the day was with Type O Negative. Now, that sounds like a crazy pairing on paper, but how did it go from your perspective? Any funny Peter Steele stories?
Bands that exist for a while typically have interesting different phases, it's just how it goes, things evolve and devolve and whatnot. This was a time when Shelter was on Roadrunner Records as was Type O, metal and hardcore—and even hip-hop—was all blending together and someone thought this tour would make sense. I actually remember it kind of working, I think Shelter had that ability to adapt to different audiences, Cappo is one of the best at making the most of any situation.
I remember having dinner at a devotee's house, he was an adult, he lived in a mansion that was painted saffron on the outside, there were two women there, one was a famous chef named Mother Yamuna who cooked food with bits of gold and silver in it, and the other sang on the recording of [George Harrison's] "My Sweet Lord." It was a wild scene.
Pete was cool, I think we ate birthday cake together on his birthday somewhere.

You've mentioned that you helped write the material that ended up on Shelter's Mantra album, but you didn't play on it. What's the story there? Were you committed to other projects at the time?
I had a rehearsal studio on 26th St., a monthly lockout where CIV rehearsed, Shift rehearsed there as well another band I had called Loaded with Ian Love. I had played in Shelter early on, recorded two songs off the first release and they needed a drummer for this new record. We started rehearsing and coming up with music together for what eventually became Mantra. We recorded a demo and were spending a lot of time in the studio, I think things fell apart when it came to money and how I would be compensated, that's typically the case. That album had some great songs, looking back I wish we could have made things work. Dave Dicenso (Cro-Mags, White Devil) played on it, he's a phenomenal drummer, but there is a cool grit to the demos we did which I think is missing from the album.
I know you prefer the earlier Shelter material, where it was a bit less melodic. What can we expect from these upcoming shows in terms of the setlist? Do you guys play that by ear, or do you have things pretty dialed-in before a run of dates?
It's not even that it's less melodic (the earlier stuff), I just prefer the weirder songs like "Society Based on Bodies" or "In the Name of Comfort," they more like pieces of art, there's a sense of danger to some of them which I like. Mantra did well in Europe so we'll include a bunch of those songs for Europe, but in general the goal is to mix it up, a little something for everyone, songs that are special to Ray, that he wants to sing, a mix of tempos, there's a lot of thought and discussion put into it. We differ sometimes on what the key songs are, what will go over well. I'd like to bring back "Turn It Around" at some point.
If you had to pick your favorite Shelter song, what would it be and why?
"The News" because I love the vocal melody, that the last chorus is fast, great dynamics, that rhythm in the verse, it's a great message. I'm obsessed with the news these days, but it take up too much time and mental space and it's a bunch of bullshit for the most part.
Shelter tour dates:

Porsche drifts Taycan electric car to new world record of 42 km straight — not a typo
Porsche added its name to the Guinness World Records book by drifting a Taycan electric car for 42 km straight (26 miles).
No. That's not a typo.
They used a Porsche Taycan RWD, which is a lot easier to drift than the all-wheel-drive version, but the version of the performance electric vehicle is only available in China.
The world record took 55 minutes to complete by driving in a watered drift circle:
"The scene of the world record was the Porsche Experience Centre (PEC) Hockenheimring. Porsche instructor Dennis Retera did 210 laps on the 200 metre-long drift circle without the front wheels ever pointing in the same direction as the curve: after 55 minutes the sideways expert had covered a total of 42.171 kilometres. By completing this marathon distance, Retera secured the world record for the longest continuous drift in an electric car. The average speed was 46 km/h. The record was achieved with the rear-wheel drive version of the Taycan, which is already on sale in China."
As you can imagine, it's extremely difficult to maintain a car drifting for such a long period of time.
Retera commented on his exploit:
"When the driving stability programmes are switched off, a powerslide with the electric Porsche is extremely easy, especially of course with this model variant, which is driven exclusively via the rear wheels. Sufficient power is always available. The low centre of gravity and the long wheelbase ensure stability. The precise design of the chassis and steering allows for perfect control at all times, even when moving sideways. Nevertheless, it was also very tiring for me to keep my concentration high for 210 laps, especially as the irrigated asphalt of the drift circuit does not provide the same grip everywhere. I concentrated on controlling the drift with the steering – this is more efficient than using the accelerator pedal and reduces the risk of spinning."
Porsche shared several images of the world record drift, and a video is expected to be released shortly.

First of all I must thank your support. Over this year I kept receiving positive feedback from you, my loyal readers. I really enjoy writing these posts but it's even better to know that you find them useful or amusing. It's being an enriching experience because everyday I'm learning a bit more about social media and writing for the web. It's hard work but it pays off.
Since this is a technological personal blog I tried to balance the subject of my posts to please both kinds of audiences. After 51 weekly posts I think I managed to achieve that balance.
Until last month I used the default commenting system provided by WordPress, without any human-validation software like reCAPTCHA. Over the course of the year, the number of spam comments increased exponentially as you can see from the graph below. In the first months I had an average of 100 spam comments but then it skyrocketed! I was having thousands of spam comments per week! You know, stuff about Oprah, pills, and crazy deals. Thankfully I had Akismet installed since day one (it's really a must-have), which deleted all that spam for me.
In December, after several readers asking for a better commenting system, I migrated to Disqus and now I have 0 spam. Alongside all the other nice features Disqus provides, it sure keeps the spam at bay!

Workers compensation is often not something you simply file for and receive. Many times you have to take an active role in getting access to your rights. There are many things you need to understand in the process.
Throughout the State of Missouri there are eight offices for the Division of Workers Compensation. The main office is in Jefferson City.
The Division administers programs and mediates disputes between employees and employers over workplace injuries and other occupational hazards.
Missouri employees are to report workplace injuries within 30 days of the incident. The Division reports that there are about 120,000 reports of injury each year. All employers are required to purchase workers compensation insurance coverage or meet the Divisions requirements if they have five or more employees and construction employers that have one or more employees.
The Division is in place to ensure that injured workers receive the benefits they are entitled to under the law. Their primary responsibility is to achieve resolution of work-related injuries.
The workers compensation process involves the Division of Workers' Compensation, an insurance company, your employer, medical providers and potentially a liable third-party. It's no wonder that injured workers find the process difficult to understand and hard to follow.
The Law Office of James M. Hoffmann concentrates in Workers Compensation.

Trump 'Police Advocate' Fired From Day Job After Assault Charges Go Public
by David Bixenspan | 8:11 pm, September 25th, 2016
Vincent Caldara, a retired police officer who holds the volunteer role of chairing Donald Trump's Florida law enforcement supporters, has been fired from his day job as a pilot for Eastern Air Lines, which provides private planes to Trump running mate Mike Pence. The reason? According to The Guardian, it stemmed from their earlier report, published last Sunday, that Caldara had been charged last year with repeatedly ramming a man with his car. He's also alleged to have clipped a woman while driving recklessly on his motorcycle in June 2014, which the victim is suing him over.
Eastern told The Guardian on Sunday that "Mr Caldara is no longer employed by Eastern Air Lines" in a statement, making sure to "wish him well in his future endeavors" and stress that " Eastern has no further comment on this to respect everyone's privacy." Marc Lotter, Pence's press secretary, added that "Mr Caldara is not a paid employee of the Trump campaign nationally or in the state of Florida."
Lotter and other campaign representatives "repeatedly declined" to clarify if Caldara still has his volunteer role. However, numerous references to him have been expurgated from the Facebook page for Trump's Florida campaign. On Monday, the day after the publication of the initial Guardian story, Caldara was at Trump's side at a campaign event in Fort Myers, Florida.
Jeff Shanley, a former "business associate" of Caldara, has required two different surgeries for injuries stemming from the alleged motor vehicle attack. The installation of a spinal stimulator, which controls pain, was one, with fusion of his right hand being the other.

Addict: 'Gambling just took over my life'
SAM SKOLNIK, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER
Feb. 23, 2004 Updated: March 15, 2011 7:01 a.m.
Nothing could stop Alan Y. from gambling.
Not the pleas of his ex-wife and two sons. Not his increasingly desperate financial situation.
Not even the U.S. Army, which court-martialed him in 1999.
Alan, who asked that his last name not be used, is a Seattle native who attended the University of Washington. He served in the Army for 27 years.
His descent into problem gambling was dramatic and severe, and his struggle is far from over.
It began in 1996, when he went with friends to a riverboat casino in Lake Charles, La., on a bus the casino had sent to San Antonio. The gambling clearly filled a deep need, and he soon began making solo trips to the casino -- a 400-mile drive one way that he often took at 90 mph.
In 1997, Alan was assigned to Fort Lewis near Tacoma. Casinos dotting Interstate 5 were now just 30 minutes away.
"I was there almost every chance I got," said Alan, 53. "Gambling just took over my life."
He was thrilled to be posted to a base so close to his home, where friends remained and his children lived. But during his long gambling bender, "Gosh, I made excuses not to go see them."
According to Alan, who is Japanese American, both his father and brother are also compulsive gamblers. He said he met his father for the first time in California when he was 18. He took his son to the racetrack every day, Alan said.
"I think it's cultural," Alan said of gambling. "It's accepted within our communities."
He said he has noted the high incidence of Asians in local casinos -- and the way the casinos market specifically to them. Alan said he believed that they "hire Asians knowing it would attract more Asians."
The marketing worked on him, he said.
"I have to kind of laugh," he said. "I gravitated toward the Emerald Queen," he said, in part because of the Asian entertainers they regularly brought in and the strong Asian feel of the Tacoma casino.
He also said he saw new Asian immigrants zealously gambling, and usually losing.
"They're spending all their money. I know they are," he said. "They don't even have to speak English. You can see it on their faces."
Alan, who is now a social worker, said he gambles for the incredible adrenaline rush it provides.
"I got super high when I would go in. I just couldn't be beat. ... I knew I could beat the game," he said.
Occasionally he did, like the time he won $8,000 in about four hours during a blackjack session at the Emerald Queen.
Twelve hours later, he'd lost it all.
In 1998, Alan filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. That allowed him, he said, to continue to gamble, heavier than ever.
He began writing bad checks, including some between his own accounts, which caught the attention of federal authorities.
Through deception, the logistics supply officer obtained a government Visa card and began taking large cash advances on the card from casino cages, including at the Drift On Inn, a Shoreline card room.
Over the next two months, he said, he took $10,000 worth of those advances at "the Drift," at $500 a pop.
During that time, he left the base and told his superiors he wasn't coming back. But one officer traced a call to his mother's house in Seattle, where he was staying. He was ordered to report to Madigan Army Medical Center for evaluation.
In January 1999, a finance clerk noticed the $10,000-plus debt on his unauthorized government credit card.
The Army moved to court-martial Alan and confined him to base. But he went AWOL again, flying to Las Vegas for a last stand. He ran out of money, cashed in his return-trip plane ticket, and then lost that cash, too. He walked aimlessly through the neon-lit streets until his ex-wife wired him enough money to buy a ticket back to the base.
He pleaded guilty to multiple charges of improperly using the credit card and to going AWOL, which could have netted him 55 years in prison. But he found a sympathetic judge who gave him a dishonorable discharge instead of any jail time.
Since his court-martial, Alan said, he has been in treatment and has attended Gamblers Anonymous meetings, although not regularly because of a demanding work schedule. He said that he and his girlfriend, whom he met in a G.A. meeting, plan to soon start going again regularly.
"The urge is diminishing, and I really believe I'm turning around," he said.
But he hasn't completely stopped. He said he most recently gambled in December.
At his longest recent stretch, Alan said, he stopped gambling for a year, between December 2001 and November 2002.
The urge to gamble likely will never completely go away, he said.
"What's scary is that I know it could grab me at any minute. Once a compulsive gambler, it's too easy to get sucked back into it."

Looking for a perfect function room for hire for your event in London? Whether you're planning a private function, corporate function or end-of-year work function, our list of top function rooms in the capital will make planning your next event hassle-free. From dedicated function rooms to elegant banquet halls, hotel function rooms and contemporary event spaces, Tagvenue is sure to have something that suits your specific requirements.
Function rooms are versatile spaces that can be hired for a wide range of events – they're the perfect place for wedding receptions, make great spaces for training days and are convenient for conferences and other corporate events. Especially popular for private events, like christenings, engagement parties and baby showers, function rooms are go-to spaces for large parties and celebrations. When sourcing a venue, keep in mind that the most sought after function rooms are often booked out months in advance, so it pays to secure your event space as soon as possible. It's also helpful to have a few workable dates in mind to give yourself some options. Here at #tagvenue we always recommend enquiring with multiple venues at once, so you can compare quotes and choose the best offer.
Hosting a great function takes organisation, creativity and attention to detail. When organising your function, make sure to consider your budget, the type of event you're planning (birthday party, banquet etc.), the number of guests you anticipate, the location (north, south, east or west London), accessibility (on-site parking, connections to public transport), the time of your event, and your A/V needs (mics, projectors), as well as your catering requirements and any entertainment you'd like to have (karaoke, beer pong, a live band etc.).
Remember that it's easy for miscommunications to happen when holding a function. To avoid any unwanted surprises, always reconfirm numbers and details with your venue and suppliers a few days before the event occurs, and make sure you know who's responsible for the clean up.
Planning a business function, fundraising night or professional association event on a tight budget? Our selection of affordable venues will save you a bundle on hire fees. From school halls and community centres, to dry hire spaces and conference rooms, we're sure to have a no-frills function venue that suits your specific requirements.
When it comes to organising your next big work function, group meeting or corporate event, you'll want to make sure everything goes off without a hitch, so take care to factor all the small things into your budget (printouts, lanyards, nametags etc.) and be aware of what suppliers you'll need to work with. When planning an event it's important to make sure you've got enough time up your sleeve – for large-scale events, begin organising four to five months in advance, and for smaller events, one to two months should do it. Once you have your venue, suppliers and guest speakers secured, you'll need to create an event schedule that incorporates regular rest breaks. And remember, event planning is not rocket science, but it does require time, commitment and solid negotiation skills.
Great - one of few places in Central London that could book me an area for 30 people without a minimum spend. Very responsive communication and excellent on the day - good food and drinks and a lovely area reserved for us overlooking the Thames. Kid and dog friendly.
Great space! Definitely use again.
Great room for our sole use with our own bar.

Q: An alternative way to make a VCO? From what I am able to understand, a voltage controlled oscillator is "controlled by a voltage" when this voltage is applied to vary the value of the tank circuit: e.g. this could happen by applying this voltage on a varicap diode, which change its capacitance according to the voltage.
However I also noticed another thing: I have assembled a very simple oscillator based on a transistor and a handful of components: it is very basic and weak (I found the schematic in a book for beginners,) and I have noticed that if I vary the value of the power supply, the oscillator will vary/drift the working frequency (I have verified this, since a friend of mine has good equipment at his lab.)
So, can this oscillator be called VCO, or is just a "feature" due the weakness/instability of the circuit? Also, why will the frequency vary according to the value of the power supply? I was also thinking, if I apply a sawtooth waveform as power supply, will the oscillator automatically drift on its frequency range? I ask this also because I'm studying this kind of modulation.
Please consider the fact that I am a beginner, so I will appreciate an exhaustive answer also with practical examples/schematics.
Unfortunately, since the schematic of my oscillator is only in the book, and I don't have a scanner in my printer, I can't post the exact schematic.
However my circuit looks very similar to this one, except for the fact that I don't have a mic, and in parallel with C1 there is another resistor.

A: The problem with varying power supply is that you'll vary amplitude as well, which will create a big deal of intermodulation and parasitic frequency modulation; an undesirable heterodyne effect. So, therefore a good VCO should have the amplitude independent from the controlling voltage.

A: The general answer is "yes", you can call it a VCO. It may well not be a very useful one, but that's another question. Almost any circuit will change its operating parameters slightly with operating voltage. In op amps, you'll find the number PSRR - Power Supply Rejection Ratio specified. All sorts of oscillator configurations will produce a frequency which varies with supply voltage. Whether this is a bug or a feature depends on what you want the oscillator to do. For a crystal oscillator which provides a time base, any change in frequency is a problem.
However, some variations are more useful than others. In your case, I suspect that the variations you see are not well-controlled. For instance, your oscillator probably also drifts with temperature, and will even vary if you put your finger close to the circuit. So it's not very useful for producing a controlled frequency deviation.
In order to be marketed as a VCO, an oscillator must be well-behaved, which means that as far as possible the frequency ONLY varies with the control input. An obvious problem with your oscillator is that, as you change the power supply voltage, not only does the frequency change but so does the output amplitude. Sometimes this is a problem, and sometimes not - it depends on what you are using the circuit for.

A: The original FM transmitter circuit in the question relies on the audio modulating signal (from the microphone) altering dynamically the voltage between base and collector - this in turn modulates the so-called "miller capacitance" and, in turn modulates the oscillation frequency. It's not a great FM modulator but will do the job as a demo transmitter to an FM broadcast band receiver.

why the frequency will vary according to the value of the power
  supply?

If you replace the microphone with a resistor, there will still be modulation as you raise and lower the power rail. The average collector voltage equals the positive battery voltage (due to the inductor). The voltage on the base is some fraction of the supply voltage (say) 20%.
If the battery voltage is 4V then Vcb(average) is 4-0.8 volts = 3.2 volts
If the battery voltage is 9V then Vcb(average) is 9-1.8 volts = 7.2 volts
This difference voltage modulates the frequency of oscillation. It will alter the amplitude too but I have previously considered using this technique to make a VCO and may yet do that. The job I may put it on doesn't care much about side effects of amplitude modulation of course.

Feeling anxious? Your gut bacteria might be to blame
Written by Honor Whiteman on August 25, 2017
All of us experience anxiety at one point or another; whether down to a job interview or a first date, that nervous feeling in the gut often takes hold. Interestingly, a new study suggests that when it comes to anxiety, the gut could play a key role.
Researchers have shed further light on the link between gut bacteria and anxiety.
Researchers found that the absence of gut bacteria in mice altered the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in regions of the brain that play a role in anxiety and depression.
Study co-author Dr. Gerard Clarke, of the APC Microbiome Institute at University College Cork in the Republic of Ireland, and colleagues recently reported their findings in the journal Microbiome.
This is not the first study to suggest a link between gut bacteria and anxiety. A study reported by Medical News Today in 2015, for example, found that stress in early life may alter gut bacteria in a way that may increase the risk of anxiety in later life.
But what are the mechanisms that underly the possible link between gut bacteria and anxiety? The new study from Dr. Clarke and team helps to shed light.
Gut bacteria and miRNAs
To reach their findings, the researchers analyzed groups of mice that had three different gut bacteria conditions:
Germ-free mice, which had no gut bacteria due to being bred in an environment free of microorganisms
Ex germ-free mice, which had been colonized with gut bacteria in later life
Mice with normal gut bacteria, which had been bred in their usual conditions
The team notes that mice bred in germ-free conditions are more likely to develop symptoms of anxiety, depression, problems with sociability, and cognitive dysfunctions.
As part of the study, the team looked at how the absence of gut bacteria affected miRNAs in the rodents' brains. miRNAs are tiny RNA molecules that regulate gene expression.
Specifically, the researchers sought to pinpoint which miRNAs were present in the amygdala and prefrontal cortex of the mice in each gut bacteria condition.
Compared with the conventional mice, the researchers found that the germ-free mice showed differences in 103 miRNAs in the amygdala – which is the brain region involved in emotional processing – and 31 changes in miRNAs in the prefrontal cortex – which is the brain region involved in behavior, planning, and impulse control, among other functions.
Importantly, when the researchers introduced bacteria to the guts of the germ-free mice in later life, some of the differences in miRNAs within the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex disappeared.
As such, the team speculates that a healthy gut microbiome is required for normal miRNA regulation.
"Gut microbes seem to influence miRNAs in the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex," says Dr. Clarke. "This is important because these miRNAs may affect physiological processes that are fundamental to the functioning of the central nervous system and in brain regions, such as the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, which are heavily implicated in anxiety and depression."
A path to psychobiotics?
Additionally, the researchers assessed the brains of adult rats whose gut bacteria had been weakened with antibiotics.
They found that the miRNAs of these rats were comparable with those of germ-free mice. This indicates that, despite having normal gut bacteria in early life, changes to gut bacteria in adulthood may influence miRNA diversity in a way that fuels anxiety.
Further studies are needed before the team can make any firm conclusions about the link between gut bacteria and anxiety.
That said, the researchers believe that they may have come across a potential treatment for anxiety disorders, which currently affect more than 40 million adults in the United States.
"This is early-stage research but the possibility of achieving the desired impact on miRNAs in specific brain regions by targeting the gut microbiota – for example, by using psychobiotics – is an appealing prospect."
