Ambulance services have increased their use of alternatives to transporting patients to an emergency department (ED) in order to help manage demand, provide a clinically appropriate service for patients and contribute to reducing unnecessary use of EDs and emergency beds. This is often referred as 'non conveyance'. Alternatives to transporting patients to an ED include the provision of telephone advice rather than dispatching a vehicle ('hear and treat'), treatment at the scene ('see and treat') and transport to other facilities such as a walk in centre ('see and convey elsewhere'). There is considerable variation in the rates of different types of non-conveyance, and in non-conveyance overall, between ambulance services in England.
Understanding the reasons for variation between services can help to identify ways of improving service delivery across all ambulance services.
To identify the determinants of variation between and within ambulance services for three different types of non-conveyance: 'hear and treat', 'see and treat' and 'see and convey elsewhere'.
To identify the determinants of variation between and within ambulance services in potentially inappropriate non-conveyance for three different types of non-conveyance.
To explore organisational variation in the provision of 'hear and treat' in three ambulance services.
To understand variation between and within ambulance services in three different types of non-conveyance rates for respiratory problems.
We will undertake a qualitative interview study with three key stakeholder groups; service providers, paramedics and commissioners. We will identify perceived determinants of each of the three different types of non-conveyance ('hear and treat', 'see and treat', 'see and convey elsewhere') and potentially inappropriate non-conveyance for ambulance services in England.
We will obtain one month of routine Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) call data from ambulance services to identify determinants of each type of non-conveyance. The factors we will test will relate to three levels: patient characteristics, crew characteristics and organisational characteristics.
We will repeat WP2 to assess the determinants of re-contact rates within 24 hours for two types of non-conveyance; 'hear and treat' and 'see and treat'.
Additionally, using data from the ongoing NIHR Applied Research Programme PhOEBE, which is linking 6 months of data from two ambulance services with ONS and HES data, we will identify the mortality rate, hospitalisation rate, and ED attendance rate for the three types of non-conveyance.
There is a lack of evidence about variation in 'hear and treat' non-conveyance. We will therefore focus on this type of non-conveyance in three ambulance services with varied practice, undertaking interviews with call takers, clinical supervisors and managers as well as non-participant observation of two key processes; making the decision to offer 'hear and treat' and offering the 'hear and treat' advice.

The CZMU is providing monitoring data and technical assistance to the Barbados Port Inc. to support their effort to address the sand buildup at the mouth of the Careenage in Bridgetown.
Shoreline Protection
In order to better understand the dynamic coastline of Barbados, the CZMU collects data under several field programmes including beach monitoring, wave and tide monitoring, basic meteorology monitoring, inspection of coastal structures and hydrographic surveys. The data and information collected from these programmes is used to guide the designs of coastal protection structures such as groynes, revetments and breakwaters; as well as to determine the likely impacts from coastal development activities.
Development Control
As a stakeholder within the national physical development planning framework, the CZMU is one of several government agencies that contribute to the assessment of development applications that may impact coastal areas. The Unit provides advice to the Chief Town Planner based on environmental considerations in order to minimize any negative impacts associated with development along the coast. Ultimately the Town and Country Development Planning Office (TCDPO) is responsible for all physical development in Barbados.
Marine Habitat Management
The mandate of the CZMU includes the conservation of marine habitats such as coral reefs, sea grass beds and mangroves. The Unit plans and implements programs and activities geared toward habitat conservation which include: reef community health assessments, marine water quality monitoring, and the control of invasive species. Using the outputs of these activities, and through partnerships with other local agencies, the CZMU works to ensure that Barbados' fragile marine habitats are protected.
Welcome to Coastal Zone Management Unit
The Coastal Zone Management Unit (CZMU), which was established in 1996, was developed from the original Coastal Conservation Project Unit created in 1983. Since 1983 we have sought to create one of the preeminent coastal zone management institutions in the Caribbean.

Q: Trouble adding item to a list with a lookup value I am adding a new item to a list in SharePoint 2007. One of the columns is a lookup into another list. Here is the code:
li["LOOKUP"] = new SPFieldLookupValue(1,VALUE);

The entry in the list isn't correct and is always using the first value in the other list. When I look at the value of li["LOOKUP"] in the debugger all I get is "1".
VALUE is in the other list and it is the first column.

A: When adding items to a list only the id of the element from the list being looked up needs to be provided. It was always adding the first element because I always passed in "1". The following code looks up the value and then gets its id and passed this to the field:
SPListItemCollection lookup = LIST.GetItems(qry);
li["LOOKUP"] = lookup[0][SPBuiltInFieldId.ID].ToString();

Wilco: Sky Blue Sky
Wednesday, May 30, 2007 by Michael Gallucci in Music
Sky Blue Sky
Since 1995, Jeff Tweedy has structured and restructured Wilco to match his rock 'n' roll ideal. First came A.M., leftover dust on the boot heel of Uncle Tupelo, the pioneering alt-country band he co-founded with perpetual mope Jay Farrar at the end of the '80s. On 1996's Being There, a two-disc set, Tweedy surveyed a quarter-century of rock from an end-of-the-millennium perspective.
By the time Tweedy and his revolving backing band unwittingly mused about post-9/11 fear and paranoia on their 2002 masterpiece Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, the onetime shit-kickers had evolved into one of America's most esoteric groups—a rock 'n' roll band that rarely rocked, seldom rolled, and gave the impression that they were a bunch of sad sacks wedded to their mixing board.
But something funny happened around the time A Ghost Is Born was released three years ago: Wilco became a jam band, and a damn good one at that. Tweedy's vision of a unified Wilco was realized throughout a yearlong tour. Suddenly, the new group sounded invigorated—particularly guitarist Nels Cline, the first guy to truly spark Tweedy since Jay Bennett left the band during the recording of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.
On Sky Blue Sky, Tweedy propels Wilco to its most uniform, least disjointed album since Being There. Mixing a bit of twang, folksy ornament, and a whole lotta guitar, the record has a natural and easygoing charm that washes over Ghost's often cluttered racket. Acoustic opener "Either Way" is the most unassuming starter of any Wilco record. It's as if all the demons Tweedy's been bitching about since 2001 have finally been exorcised, and he's welcoming listeners into his daydreams.
Much credit goes to the jazz-trained Cline, whose improvisational skills transport Wilco into a whole other realm. He fills out the spaces of Tweedy's tunes, closing the holes that left many of the band's songs sounding unfinished (just compare studio versions to their stage adaptations on the live Kicking Television CD). Cline's warm guitar solos on "Impossible Germany," "Hate It Here," and "On and On and On" evoke the wide-open azure of the album's title. If 1999's Summerteeth was Wilco's hot-weather record, Sky Blue Sky is its springtime mix. It's a rebirth of sorts, a document of a band blossoming into a cozy and colorful new creature.

Main Core, PROMIS and the Shadow Government (Pt.3)
I: WATCH LISTS, BLACK LISTS, ENEMIES LISTS…..HIT LISTS?
With the long overdue departure of the Bush administration from the White House it is the hope many that the myriad of transgressions against the Constitution and the people of America will begin to seep out into the public domain. It took a remarkably short time. The day after the helicopter hauled ole George away like so much rubbish a major story broke. In an astonishing shot across the bow directed at the shadow government the first significant whistleblower has already come out with a story (once again ignored by the corporate media) and delivered a devastating blow to the premise that the massive illegal domestic spying programs of the Bush administration were undertaken in order to protect America from terrorism in the aftermath of September 11th, 2001.
Former NSA analyst Russell Tice during two recent interviews on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann (pt1,pt2)confirmed that the Bush-Cheney-Rove phony war on terror was as people like myself have always strongly suspected in actuality a war on America itself. According to the patriotic Mr. Tice the targets of the domestic spying included news organizations and journalists and that the surveillance for specific targets was not limited to professional matters alone, they were spied on 24/7.
"The National Security Agency had access to all Americans' communications," he said. "Faxes, phone calls and their computer communications. … They monitored all communications."
Tice said the NSA analyzed metadata to determine which communication would be collected. Offering a hypothetical example, he said if the agency determined that terrorists communicate in brief, two-minute phone calls, the NSA might program its systems to record all such calls, invading the privacy of anyone prone to telephonic succinctness.
Tice was involved in only a small part of the project, that involved trying to "harpoon fish from an airplane."
He said he was told to monitor certain groups in order to eliminate them as suspects for more intense targeting. Those groups, he said, were U.S. journalists and news agencies. But rather than excluding the news organizations from monitoring, he discovered that the NSA was collecting the organizations' communications 24 hours a day year round.
"It made no sense," he said.
Tice did not identify the reporters or organizations allegedly targeted.
Olbermann asked if this means there's a file somewhere containing every e-mail and phone conversation these reporters ever had with sources, editors and family members.
"If it was involved in this specific avenue of collection, it would be everything, yes." Tice answered.
(Exerpted from Wired's Kim Zetter's blog)
The Tice interviews followed another former insider speaking out on the gross illegality of the Bush administration programs, a former DOJ employee named Thomas Tamm was featured in a Newsweek magazine cover story by Michael Isikoff entitled The Fed Who Blew the Whistle from which I excerpt the following:
In the spring of 2004, Tamm had just finished a yearlong stint at a Justice Department unit handling wiretaps of suspected terrorists and spies—a unit so sensitive that employees are required to put their hands through a biometric scanner to check their fingerprints upon entering. While there, Tamm stumbled upon the existence of a highly classified National Security Agency program that seemed to be eavesdropping on U.S. citizens. The unit had special rules that appeared to be hiding the NSA activities from a panel of federal judges who are required to approve such surveillance. When Tamm started asking questions, his supervisors told him to drop the subject. He says one volunteered that "the program" (as it was commonly called within the office) was "probably illegal."
The name of the program was Stellar Wind and please pay particular attention to this next excerpted piece from Isikoff's story:
The NSA, with the secret cooperation of U.S. telecommunications companies, had begun collecting vast amounts of information about the phone and e-mail records of American citizens. Separately, the NSA was also able to access, for the first time, massive volumes of personal financial records—such as credit-card transactions, wire transfers and bank withdrawals—that were being reported to the Treasury Department by financial institutions. These included millions of "suspicious-activity reports," or SARS, according to two former Treasury officials who declined to be identified talking about sensitive programs. (It was one such report that tipped FBI agents to former New York governor Eliot Spitzer's use of prostitutes.) These records were fed into NSA supercomputers for the purpose of "data mining"—looking for links or patterns that might (or might not) suggest terrorist activity.
This latest glimpse beneath the facade at the massive, secretive and highly illegal surveillance campaign against the American people is an outrage. Given the proclivity of those who run the system in this country to exert raw power to advance their own agendas it is no leap in logic that journalists alone were the only group targeted. There remains the question of whether blackmail, especially sexual blackmail is routinely used as a tool to keep government and media officials from not straying too far from the dirty business of imperialism and financial chicanery of the sort that has brought the economy to its knees. I personally found the media spectacle of the fortuitously timed prostitution bust of former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer who incidentally had just announced his intention to declare war on the banksters and their accomplices in the Bush White House in a February 14, 2008 Washington Post piece entitled Predatory Lenders Partner in Crime to be extremely suspicious. The rogue Bush regime and the NSA have been using their big lie of the war on terror as an excuse to scrutinize credit card use and Spitzer would have been an obvious target as is indicated by the above excerpt from the Newsweek story. It also makes skeptics such as myself wonder whether the witch hunt to impeach former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich may at least in part be attibuted to his threat to suspend state business with Bank of America, 'Blago' was arrested the day afterwards.
In light of the Tice revelations as well as an already long and extremely sordid history of U.S. government surveillance into the activities of dissidents and reporters that predated the Bush regime, we also need to ask some very serious questions of a much more troubling and nefarious nature. For example, how does such spying tie into not only the manipulation of the news but the now standard lack of spine from the Democratic congress when it comes to prosecuting the Bush administration criminals? Notorious fixer Karl Rove has already announced his intent to defy yet another subpoena for his testimony that was to have been delivered on Monday in front of the House Judiciary Committee. As of this writing, John Conyers has once again caved and the date has now been pushed into February and likely will soon disappear down the same memory hole where similar attempts to enforce the law have been flushed.
Intense political pressure, threats of unemployment in a time of economic crisis and potentially embarassing sexual acts subject to blackmail are all entirely made possible by the rampant unaccountability of the domestic spying programs, but are there measures that go far beyond just the spiking of stories, the discrediting or the ruining of careers alone? Think back to the vicious institutionalized slander directed former San Jose Mercury News reporter Gary Webb for example for his Dark Alliance series. The savagery with which Webb was taken down by the establishment was stunning and it ultimately resulted in his suicide, a broken and haunted man who only dared to try to tell the truth.
There is a long trail of untimely demises of investigative journalists and other insiders whose knowledge represents a threat to very existence of the shadow government and those who it as a matter of routine does business with in order to avoid legitimate channels. Perhaps the most terrifying of all question is exactly what actions do end up being taken in order to prevent the exposure of widespread criminal activity, systemic grand scale fraud and extra-constitutional black operations that have been conducted for decades.
Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen wrote of an NSA database that was at one time named FIRSTFRUITS that was maintained to engage in surveillance against journalists and that was renamed after its discovery. Some of the names in this database allegedly included Christiane Amanpour, Seymour Hersh, James Bamford, James Risen and Madsen himself. According to chatter in the blogosphere that were it not consistent with the historical trail of dead bodies could easily be dismissed as paranoia and disinformation. One story floating around the internet mentioned an unnamed NSA security officer allegedly mused about 'just killing' troublesome bloggers. This may be a product of paranoia (one would think paranoia would be a natural state in a land of fear and loathing such as that which the United States has become post 9/11) but there is great progress currently being made by internet researchers and such reputed threats should not simply be waved off as the rantings of tin foil hatters or the favorite of all pejoratives directed at those who dare to ask inconvenient questions, conspiracy theorists. The fact that the alternative media and many bloggers are slowly starting to put the pieces together one can only reasonably suspect that such behavior scares the living hell out of the establishment, and after all, there is a history of that sort of thing. While this is not a comprehensive list the Committee to Protect Journalists keeps a database to track the prematurely deceased in a most dangerous profession.
The bizarre absence of any reporting of this very serious violation of civil liberties has received absolutely no coverage in the corporatized, mainstream pocket media. This is unconscionable that there is apparently no interest in exposing these crimes, especially considering that those targeted could actually save their own hides (and perhaps instill some dignity) by outing this program. It's a sad testament to the state of today's 'journalism' that is shameful by comparison to that of days of yore when reporters were intrepid souls determined to speak the truth to power.
Writer Eric Alterman puts it spot on in his recent Center for American Progress piece entitled Think Again: Spying on Journalists? Why the Silence? when he notes the lack of intestinal fortitude in the mainstream media:
Clearly something deeply disturbing lurks beneath these revelations, and with Bush gone from office, it's hard to understand just what is preventing journalists from seeking the truth about this program more energetically. The only thing they have to fear is fear itself.
This sad state of affairs brings to mind the following:
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I was not a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
– Pastor Martin Niemöller
And the silence by those tasked by the First Amendment's now quaint and antiquated imbuing upon them a responsibility for a free press as an essential check on authoritarianism is deafening in its absence. Quislings, cowards and public relations flacks seem to be the one thing that our journalism schools never failed to produce over the past several decades, feckless and spineless careerists with neither a sense of honor nor of their place as defenders of precious liberty. There shall be no refuge for the weasels nor the rats in the end therefore their mass abrogation of their chosen profession along with their acute absence of courage is even more damnable for when the time comes they will perhaps live to lament that they did not speak out when they had the chance.
II: NIGHT AND FOG
"Death Solves All Problems, No Man, No Problem"
-Joseph Stalin
The National Security State has a history of silencing those who would speak out and especially reporters deemed to have become a nuisance. This is done either through intense pressure brought down on media corporations through organized harassment of sponsors, brutal coordinated smear campaigns much like the one that took down the aforementioned Gary Webb or when all else fails, the reporters often just happen to turn up mysteriously dead. The list of 'suicides' and accidents is a long one and in the view of the ruthless psychopaths who both run and profit from a high-tech snooping network seems to be that any means are to be undertaken to keep their games going even if it ultimately results in termination with extreme prejudice. I believe that I will have to put together a list myself but when I just started writing down names off the top of my head of strange deaths I came up with over thirty right off the bat.
The ugly truth is that none of these police state powers are being used to protect the United States from foreign enemies, terrorism or any other excuse that is being made in order to get Americans to submit their rights. It is all in the name of power, money and to protect the interests of the oligarchy and the power elite who run the establishment and it needs to be stopped because it is out of control.
Take the strange case of Danny Casolaro for example…
Perhaps the closest to get at the truth about PROMIS and how it was an integral piece of the shadow government was investigative journalist Danny Casolaro. Casolaro had been working on research for a book on a shadowy transnational power group that seemed to run through the postwar era and had connections to many of the major scandals including Iran-Contra, BCCI, the Nugan Hand Bank, international drug cartels, weapons dealers and intelligence operatives in not only the U.S. government but internationally as well. Casolaro dubbed this group, one that largely rose out of a 'dirty old boy network' of the OSS/CIA out of the ashes of World War II as The Octopus. Casolaro began to become aware of the more sinister aspects of what Professor Peter Dale Scott refers to as the deep state but is more commonly known as either the shadow government, the parallel government and even arguably the permanent government while investigating the theft of the PROMIS software from the Inslaw corporation.
On Saturday, August 10, 1991 a maid at a Martinsburg, West Virginia Sheraton Inn was horrified to find the nude body of Joseph Daniel Casolaro in the bathtub, the victim of an apparent 'suicide'. It was by accounts a particularly grisly scene and a strangely violent 'suicide' with both of his wrists slashed deeply multiple times with a razor blade. There was a very short and impersonal note, blood splattered on the tile walls and a pair of bloody towels under the sink away from the bathtub.
Strange circumstances followed in the aftermath of the discovery of Danny Casolaro's corpse in a blood filled bathtub. His body was hastily taken away and embalmed (making any subsequent autopsy much more difficult) before family members were officially notified (a violation of state law by accounts) and room 517 had been professionally cleaned thereby removing critical evidence prior to any sort of thorough forensic investigation could be performed. Compounding doubts about the official 'suicide' story are contradictory statements made by friends and family that Casolaro was NOT suicidal at all but was actually quite exited over the prospect of publishing his book on the findings of his investigative work, even to the extent that he had scheduled a party to celebrate. He was in the final stages of nailing down the story of the century and had gone to West Virginia in search of the evidence that would prove his theory, make the connection to PROMIS and 'bring back the head of the octopus'. The sudden ending (yet another hotel room 'suicide') was especially suspicious because when the body was discovered, his files were missing.
In addition to the shadowy players in the global arms and narcotics trades the Octopus also appeared to have had as tentacles rogue elements of U.S. intelligence Casolaro found connections to not only Iran-Contra but also BCCI, the Nugan Hand bank, the October Surprise, money launderers and organized crime as well as a continuous thread of involvement in dirty dealings both domestically and abroad. The roots of this milieu of malevolence stretched back to the post World War II era when a collection of spooks, corrupt bureaucrats and extremist right wing ideologues began to operate as a faction within the intelligence apparatus, a state upon themselves to profit financially while engaging in the darks forms of clandestine activities and black operations.
Author Joel Bainerman in his 1992 book entitled The Crimes of a President wrote the following (some of this ostensibly quoting William Hamilton of Inslaw as well as a 1991 story from the St. Louis Dispatch) that has a very good description on Casolaro's theory:
"Casolaro had discovered a common denominator to the theft of Inslaw's software and other recent scandals" says Hamilton who worked very closely with Casolaro right up to his death in helping him to uncover the dirty dealing behind the theft of Inslaw's software. A group of individuals trained in covert intelligence operations and aligned with the U.S. political leadership who were allegedly profiting from each of these scandals. These veterans of U.S. covert intelligence operations had also allegedly been selling pirated copies of Inslaw's software to foreign intelligence and law enforcement agencies and funneling the funds through BCCI. Casolaro believed that some of the profits from these illegal sales made their way into a slush fund used for political payoffs and covert intelligence operations not authorized by congress.
Danny Casolaro is far from the only one to whom mysterious death had befallen after their investigative work got them too close to the real power structure or presented an obstacle to its need for the cloak of secrecy. Too many rising politicians, uncooperative politicians and judges, hostile witnesses, whistle blowers and reporters have met with no small number of strange and untimely deaths often attributed to accidents (small plane crashes in particular), 'suicides'( a good deal of them in hotel rooms), sudden heart attacks or seizures (many in people with no history of such problems) and random acts of extreme violence that go unsolved by authorities.
In addition to Casolaro, other suspicious deaths of investigators of this particular nexus of evil include Financial Times reporter Anson Ng, reportedly a friend of Casolaro who was found dead from a gunshot wound in his Guatemala City apartment where he was reportedly working on a story related to BCCI as well as Jonathan Moyle whose body was found hanging in a closet in a Santiago hotel room.
Joel Bainerman also noted in his book that the Cabazon Indian Reservation where the PROMIS software was allegedly modified for espionage purposes by a very interesting character, a technical genius named Michael Riconosciuto to include the 'back door' feature (to allow for secret access) was in fact a "CIA cutout". The government contracting firm Wackenhut, a Florida based security corporation was involved at the time in a joint venture with the Cabazon tribe to use the sovereign land status of the reservation to work on a variety of endeavors including the development and testing of arms including a fuel air explosive, biochemical warfare agents and other armaments that could be provided to third world regimes, primarily to right wing governments in Latin America. The Cabazon Indian Reservation was allegedly transformed into veritable spook nest as well as a staging ground for covert military industrial complex purposes. Wackenhut incidentally is back in the news (or at least the alternative media) with Ellen Brown's recent story about the mysterious prison buses spotted in Arizona so they are still a player and a big one at that. I would venture to speculate that the truth about Wackenhut Corporation and its longtime involvement in the prison industrial complex that has become so very, very lucrative to this fascist society is something that deserves one hell of a good deal of scrutiny.
III: INDIO 2008
Interestingly enough there was a local news investigation in the Palm Springs area in 2008 that had focused on the 2005 multiple murder-suicide of Riverside County District Attorney Investigator David McGowan and five members of his family. As the series continued questions began to arise on whether McGowan had been digging a bit too deeply into a cold case file regarding a 1981 triple murder on the Cabazon Reservation that had ties to the covert activities that Danny Casolaro was investigating. Subsequent installments in the KESQ series by news reporter Nathan Baca began to ask questions about PROMIS as well as the other mysterious activities at the reservation and began to delve into the 1981 murders of tribal leader Fred Alvarez who resisted those behind the Cabazon-Wackenhut joint venture as well as two friends. An interview was conducted with the daughter of one of the victims who is to this day seeking justice for the murder of her father Ralph Boger. Rachel Begley (her website is called desertfae) very accurately described what has been going on at Cabazon as follows:
"I'm more shocked than anything. I had no idea these things were going on. Most of America doesn't know these things are going on," said Begley. "It's still going on to this day. It's a big web of corruption."
The series ended abruptly in October after an installment that began to delve into whether other local Indian tribes may have been involved in dealings with Wackenhut and mentioned "an experimental electromagnetic weapon called a "railgun" as being one of the projects. That the KESQ story has not continued is disappointing but certainly not surprising given the history of what has happened to those digging too deeply into affairs involving the PROMIS software. I would strongly suspect that fear is a motivating factor in the termination of this series, especially after the detective who had been investigating the case stated that he: "doesn't want to continue on the case based on the number of people who have met an untimely demise while doing so". Because I feel that it is particularly relevant I am posting an email from said detective to a third party who has knowledge of the bigger picture and specifically for the comments of said detective that I have highlighted that should send a chill up the spine of all:

Subject: Alvarez Triple Homicide
Hello X
My name is X and I'm with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. I'm a homicide detective assigned to the cold case division. The Alvarez triple homicide was assigned to me a couple of months ago.
For the past two months I have reviewed nearly a thousand documents of police reports, and spent many hours browsing the Internet for additional sources of information. As I am sure you can imagine, I feel a bit like Alice in Wonderland after falling down the rabbit hole. I no longer have a complete grasp on the real world.
You should know first off, that I am an experienced investigator with 18 years on the Sheriff's Dept. and I consider myself pretty intuitive when it comes to filtering out the BS. After my first review of the police reports in this case, I wasn't sure why it remained unsolved for over 26 years. All of the players were identified and the Modus Operandi seemed to be well established. I couldn't understand why every few years the case was suddenly dropped and put back on the shelf.
That's when Rachel Begley introduced me to the rabbit hole. After the countless hours I have now spent on her website and the numerous other conspiracy theorists websites, I'm having a very difficult time sifting through the BS.
I have also spent much time on your website and I have found your investigations impressive and your opinions refreshing. That is why I am writing to you now. I do not make it a habit of talking to journalists about open homicide investigations, however, it appears you are much more educated about this particular case than I am.
I know you are very busy and I understand the Alvarez triple homicide is a very small part of the Octopus, but I would be very interested in spending any time with you that you have available, in order to get some perspective on what I've read.
Just so you understand where I am in this case. I am currently preparing a review and summary for my Sergeant. My conclusion will be that I do not wish to continue investigating this case, based on the number of people who have met an untimely demise while doing so.
My actions in this matter go against everything I believe in, and this case is very difficult for me to walk away from, especially with the allegations that involve the deaths of Investigator Dave McGowan and his family. But I am conceding to a higher power (my wife) and trying to give her some peace of mind. I cannot look her in the eyes and tell her that I am willing to risk the life of my family by pursuing this.
I am interested in your opinion. Am I just another lamb to the slaughter? Is the Puppet Master pulling my strings via Rachel Begley? Is this just a simple case of murder by Jimmy Hughes at the direction of John P. Nichols, or is it really much more than that?
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you,

IV: Conclusion:
It is with the hope of this humble blogger that this series as well as other damning information such as that put forth by Mr. Tice, Mr. Tamm and other patriotic Americans who have risked all (and at times paid with their careers and lives) all in order to get the truth out will encourage others to do the same. It is long past time to bring attention to the history of grossly immoral and criminal acts that have been perpetrated against the people of the United States by the very institutions that are supposed to be protecting us. It is imperative that others begin to work independently (and together whenever possible) to mount their own investigations into how the government has been weaponized by a pack of fascist thugs so that they may reap the benefits at the expense of those who are not connected to an elitist ruling class that is hell bent on maintaining the status quo.
Danny Casolaro did not have the most powerful tool against injustice and corruption available while he was alive, the internet was only in its nascent stages and had he the ability that we enjoy due to advances in technology he may very well still be alive and the criminal usurpers of our democracy and violators of our constitution could be where they belong – in prison. It is my hope that one with more influence, internal knowledge and resources than I have at my disposal begin to not only do very serious investigative work but to also petition the new administration of President Barack Obama for the following:
1: An immediate cessation of all illegal, unconstitutional surveillance and data-mining that has been ongoing against law abiding American citizens.
2: The creation of an independent investigative body along the lines of the Church Committee imbued with sweeping powers to investigate abuses of intelligence both within the government as well as with private contractors who have collaborated in crimes against the republic and its citizens.
3: A case by case federal investigation into ALL suspicious deaths of reporters and other individuals either directly or indirectly involved in the investigation of what has been done with the PROMIS software, NSA spying and Continuity of Government programs. Especially now that it has been revealed that the NSA has been actively spying on journalists and news organizations.
4: A restoration of the rule of law as a bulwark against tyranny as was intended by our founding fathers who having full knowledge of how unaccountable despots behave risked all to lay the foundation of a free society where the highest ideals of liberty can be enjoyed by all.
5: In iron tight regulatory system to ensure that such flagrant abuses of power never be allowed to occur again in the future. The cloak of secrecy needs to be removed and all government must be open to the scrutiny of those who it is supposed to serve.
6: The prosecution to the full extent of the law of those who are currently or who have in the past been involved in any criminal activity in relation to the aforementioned.
Truly, nothing else will suffice if we are to have any credibility as a nation based on laws.

The Dewerstone, Devon
Located in Shaugh Prior, Devon, South West England, England
The Dewerstone is an exceptionally beautiful area close to the south west border of Dartmoor National Park. It's famous for its crags which attract high numbers of climbers. At the top of this area is Dewerstone Rock
The rivers Meavy and Plym join by The Dewerstone before flowing towards the Devon coast
The crags are known locally as the Devil's Rocks. It's said that the Devil and his hounds drive people over the side of the crags to their death*
To visit, we'd recommend parking by Shaugh Bridge which is just to the north west of Shaugh Prior. There's a wooden bridge that crosses the river and leads you to a large path. This type of path is rare in Dartmoor and is an indication of the area's popularity. We've located The Dewerstone on Google maps so zoom in on the satellite setting to explore the area
The Dewerstone is at the mouth of one of Dartmoor's many beautiful wooded valleys and cleaves. We'd recommend the circular walk between Shaugh Bridge and Cadover Bridge. We've done this with small children and it took about three hours. Refer to the Ordnance Survey OL28 'Dartmoor' map. The route is clearly marked on the Harvey British Mountain Map 'Dartmoor' map, too

Opera Singer Set To Perform 'Star-Spangled Banner' At Super Bowl!
Jan 22, 2014 3:15 pm·
Well this is new!
Though "The Star-Spangled Banner" has typically been sung by the likes of Beyonce, Faith Hill, Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson at past Super Bowls, the performer taking on the National Anthem at MetLife Stadium Feb. 2 has had slightly different vocal training!
World-class opera singer Renee Fleming will open Super Bowl XLVIII with her rendition of our nation's anthem.
And this is hardly Renee's first big event! The 54-year-old performed at Barack Obama's first inaugural celebration in 2009 and serenaded the Queen at her Diamond Jubilee in June 2012.
She's also sung David Letterman's infamous "Top-10 List" when the theme was, fittingly, "opera lyrics," which was really putting current events to operatic music!
Take a look at the talented Renee below!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0jYh3KMOuk


Back in 1997, The Hockey News, celebrating their 50th anniversary, put together an expert panel to definitively identify the Top 50 hockey players of all time. Famously, Wayne Gretzky edged out Bobby Orr and Gordie Howe to be named the best of all time.
A year later the magazine was re-released as a coffee table book, expanded to include The Top 100 NHL Players of All-Time. That list has since served as the definitive list of hockey's all time greats.
Jump to 2010. In the last 13 years we've seen many players add to their resumes to improve their rankings or deserve inclusion. Martin Brodeur, Scott Niedemayer, Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin, Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg, and Nicklas Lidstrom are among many greats in that time frame.
With that in mind, The Hockey News is back with an updated Top 100 list. Sort of.
This time around THN put together a 10 member panel to judge players only since 1997. Those results are then mixed together with original list results to update the famous list.
The only catch is they fail to rank them 1 through 100, which made the original list such a great debate. Instead they decide to rank the players by position. That's right - the Top 100 this time around is a actually five separate top 20 lists - goaltenders, defensemen, left wingers, right wingers and centers.
Now I understand that such a publication needs to distinguish itself from it's famous predecessor. Still, it is a bit of a disappointment that it is essentially a much different list. In reality I think a number of centers would probably knock off a few wingers and goalies in a true 1 through 100 list.
The collector's edition magazine itself is a wonderful presentation, mixing great photography with excellent all new player profiles. They also offer a look at the best players by position for each franchise.
This type of magazine is what The Hockey News does best. It makes wish they would drop their mostly forgettable book series by The Hockey News and always present their special features as collector edition magazines. So look for this collector's edition of The Hockey News All New Top 100 Players of All Time at your favorite newsstand.
Now the question for you Christmas shoppers out there becomes do you spend $8 on the THN special issue, or the $20 on the new Hockey Night In Canada book Best of the Best, which also offers a top 100 list? Don't be afraid to go with the magazine - I would be just as happy with that under my tree.
Just want to say I love your site(s).

I am more and more convinced that we should not be looking for anything new. Our attempts to do so were and continue to be devastating. I am more and more convinced that we have gotten spiritually lazy and intellectually prideful and that we must go back to what the original apostles thought. In that we will find the orthodoxy of the church; in that we will find the right believe and function of the church.
What Should Be the Church Focus?
The church rest in one revelation, "He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." Matthew 16:15-16 (KJV) The focus is Christ! Paul said it this way, "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God." First Corinthians 1:18-24 (KJV) We must love one another and lift up our Lord Jesus Christ as keys to evangelism.
What Should Be Our Vision?
Our vision is found in the Great Commission. There is no other vision given to the church. Our vision is 1) to evangelize the world, 2) to teach all that Jesus command and 3) to teach how to abide in all that Jesus commands. Jesus gave us a summary of the whole law by telling us to love God above all things and love our neighbor as we love ourselves. As we read through the red letters in the Bible we see how this summary looks like. The Church MUST focus it's teaching on these things. As it refers to the part that speaks about how to abide in these commands, the church must come together as a family to share each other's lives for a practical application.
What is the Church Modus Operandi?
There is no other formula; there is no other way. A church must 1) remain faithfully in the teachings of the apostles. After teaching the commands of Jesus, the focus should be on the doctrine of the apostles. The doctrine of the apostles is not a new way; it flows directly out of the commands of Jesus. Jesus said it this way, "…If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:31-32 (KJV) Our freedom depends on remaining in God's Word (LOGOS). Jesus also said, as he quoted the Old Testament, "…Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Matthew 4:4 (KJV). The word here is Rhema, the revelation of the Logos. Our lives depend on this. We can't take His Word (Logo/Rhema) lightly. 2) A church MUST have true fellowship, not just a Sunday Service. True fellowship involves the breaking of bread together. As I said many times, if we do not eat in each other's homes, we are playing church; it is not real! We are not called to have services, that is a man's invention, we are called to have fellowship. 3) A Church MUST pray! Did Jesus not state that his house must be called a house of prayer?
Beloved, this is the church; this is the church's focus, the vision and the modus operandi.

Julia Butters to star in Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiographical film
ANI/RSS
2021 Jun 16, 11:49, Washington
Julia Butters (photo via ANI)
Julia Butters, the young actor who stole scenes outright from Leonardo DiCaprio in 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood', will soon be playing a character inspired by Steven Spielberg's sister in the filmmaker's untitled semi-autobiographical film about his childhood.
According to Variety, she'll be joining Michelle Williams, Paul Dano and Seth Rogen, who are playing characters loosely based on Spielberg's mother, father, and favorite uncle, respectively, and newcomer Gabriel LaBelle, who is playing the character based on a young Spielberg.
For the first time since 2001's 'AI: Artificial Intelligence, Spielberg has been credited as a co-writer of the screenplay, along with regular collaborator Tony Kushner.
Spielberg and Kushner are also producing the film with Kristie Macosko Krieger, through Amblin Partners. Production is set to start in the summer, with a release in 2022, most likely through Amblin's existing distribution deal with Universal.
The film will be drawing from Spielberg's experiences when his family lived in Arizona in the late 1950s and '60s, which coincided with his earliest experiments with making home movies.
Spielberg has three younger sisters, the oldest of which, Anne, followed her brother into feature filmmaking, working at his production company Amblin Entertainment, before co-writing the 1988 comedy 'Big' with Gary Ross. Butters' character, however, is her own creation, not based on a specific sibling.
After walking away with every scene, she had in Quentin Tarantino's 2019 love letter to old Hollywood, Butters became an overnight star. As per Variety, now 12 years old, she's currently shooting the Russo brothers' thriller 'The Gray Man' with Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans.

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
As a country we need to take action against what is going on. As Christians, we are commanded to take action. There are many things that we can do to combat the devilish acts that are taking place in the United States. One important thing that we all need to do is pray for our leaders. Whether or not you agree with them, they have been chosen to make decisions that affect each of us on a daily basis. They may not all even be Christians themselves but they need our prayers. In fact, the ones that are not lead by Christ need our prayers more so than the ones that are. We must first pray for their salvation and then for their abilities to make good, sound decisions. We need to have respect for our leaders and give them our support by praying for them. Remember that we honor and glorify God when we are obedient and humble toward and before our leaders. You can make a change. All you have to do is pray for our country to receive counsel from Almighty God. We as Christians have to take a stand. The first place to start is to pray. If you refer to the Bible, when any problems arose in the lives of the people, they sought God through prayer.
You may not think you can do something significant to change our culture; if you feel this way then remember the following scripture: The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

She the North? Making case for a Toronto WNBA team

As for whether a women's team will draw as much attention as the Raptors, Clarke said there's still work to do, but just look at the women's basketball finals at Toronto's Pan Am Games in 2015.
"The building was sold out," she said, as the Canadian women took home the gold.

I would be willing to bet that a WNBA team would draw well in Canada.
No one one is ever as good as their best game, nor as bad as their worst.
I think so, too! Fingers crossed!

High school basketball in eastern Canada is definitely on the rise as well. Lots of talent ...
But what about women's college basketball? Is there any interest in Toronto?

Maybe Drake could buy a team. That would draw some attention to the league. JayZ would have to compete with another team in New York.

Kia Nurse and Natalie Achonwa got some media coverage here as college athletes. U.S. college basketball on the whole doesn't get quite the same coverage and hype in Canada during the season, although plenty of people do follow the men's tournament. (The teens I know don't really, though - they'll have heard of Duke and Zion Williamson, but otherwise they're more about the NBA and its superstars.)
The UConn-Duquesne game at Ryerson U's Mattamy Athletics Centre (former Maple Leaf Gardens) during Nurse's senior year was well-attended. That was also the site of the Pan Am Games basketball events. It would be a great venue for a WNBA team - right downtown on the subway line, near good restaurants and shopping and other touristy spots.
The Raptors have long had a terrific fan base and basketball is very popular here, and right now the city is just lit with Finals fever. I can see a WNBA team succeeding here. It'd be awesome if that happened.
Though I don't think expansion happens until all 12 current teams are solid. My only worry now is Atlanta. Could the Dream move to the Hawks' new G-League arena? I know it's capacity is slightly larger than what the Mystics play at.

I'm all for the separation of church and hate.
We bring up the usual markets that should have a team. Houston, Sacramento & Cleveland got a raw deal the first time with their ownership groups and would likely be successful again under the right ownership. Tennessee is a women's bball hotbed that's untapped for the pro market. There's always Joe Lacob and his desire for a women's team again in the Bay Area. But you have to wonder what other markets would do well with a WNBA franchise? Louisville? Denver? Buffalo? Kansas City?
Richyyy
No mention of anyone willing to put up the cash in ownership, so this is essentially a non-story. Also the league continues to say they're not really interested in expansion at the moment, which is a step back even from a few years ago when they mostly avoided the question. These other cities only really come into consideration if ownership pulls out from an existing team.

I'm sure if an ownership group came forward with a ton of money, the league would grant them an expansion team regardless of location. As long as the group and venue meet league standards, it would happen.
You mean the venue would have to as good as Westchester and the group would have to be as well funded as Hilton Koch?

Hopefully the league has learned from these two mistakes and have set the bar higher in terms of venues and ownership groups.
Adding to that, as long as they don't having any pending court cases with charges any worse than burglary & aggravated assault, they should meet the league's stringent standards.

Following the Toronto Raptors' historic NBA championship win, two local entrepreneurs have announced a bid to bring the WNBA franchise to Toronto.
While the official bid has been announced, they are expected to present to the WNBA for consideration before the end of the summer.

So, clearly depending on the upcoming CBA, we may have expansion teams in Toronto & San Francisco by 2021.I don't think it happens for 2020 though despite the website's message. Very exciting! Let's hope teams are stable and we don't end up with the Toronto Dream.

"This isn't just a business opportunity. This is an opportunity to inspire a new generation of women and girls in sport," Escott said in a statement.
"Twenty years from now, we want to trace the success of Canada's finest athletes to this moment."
The bid committee said investors, board members, and a potential arena selection will be announced in the coming weeks.
Doesn't seem like they'd play at Scotiabank Arena. Where else could they play? The G-League team plays at Paramount Fine Foods Center in Mississauga(5,400 capacity). Kitchener Memorial Auditorium houses an NBL team & holds 7,300 but is a tad old. Any other options?
Mattamy Athletic Centre (former Maple Leaf Gardens - now owned by Ryerson University) would be great - it was the venue for all the Pan Am Games basketball events. Right downtown on the subway line. Not sure if it would actually be available, though...
Kitchener is far from Toronto! Like a 1.5-2 hour drive. Mississauga is closer to the city, but still a 30 minute drive (in good traffic) and difficult to get to via public transit.
This talk about Kitchener/Mississauga is making me empathize with you Liberty fans, though. I was initially thinking that it's ridiculous anyone would even suggest places outside the city - and then I remembered this is the current reality of the Liberty...

In response to several questions about Toronto as a prospective WNBA market, WNBA COO Christy Hedgpeth said, "Toronto is a terrific market and we appreciate the interest in the WNBA. However, the league's main focus right now is the overall health and competitiveness of our existing 12 teams."

The lower strap button is usually located at the bottom (bridge end) of the body. The upper strap button is usually located near or at the top (neck end) of the body: on the upper body curve, at the tip of the upper "horn" (on a double cutaway), or at the neck joint (heel). Some electrics, especially those with odd-shaped bodies, have one or both strap buttons on the back of the body. Some Steinberger electric guitars, owing to their minimalist and lightweight design, have both strap buttons at the bottom of the body. Rarely, on some acoustics, the upper strap button is located on the headstock. Some acoustic and classical guitars only have a single strap button at the bottom of the body—the other end must be tied onto the headstock, above the nut and below the machine heads.
There really isn't a best age for kids to start guitar lessons, but most children under the age of 7 generally don't have the dexterity or patience needed to learn to play the guitar. With persistence and motivation some kids have learned to play guitar at some impressively young ages, but it really comes down to is the individual attitude and maturity level of the student.
The electric guitar initially met with skepticism from traditionalists, but country and blues players and jazz instrumentalists soon took to the variety of new tones and sounds that the electric guitar could produce, exploring innovative ways to alter, bend and sustain notes. The instrument's volume and tones proved particularly appealing to the enthusiasts of rock and roll in the 1950s.
The Spanish vihuela, called in Italian the "viola da mano", a guitar-like instrument of the 15th and 16th centuries, is widely considered to have been the single most important influence in the development of the baroque guitar. It had six courses (usually), lute-like tuning in fourths and a guitar-like body, although early representations reveal an instrument with a sharply cut waist. It was also larger than the contemporary four-course guitars. By the 16th century, the vihuela's construction had more in common with the modern guitar, with its curved one-piece ribs, than with the viols, and more like a larger version of the contemporary four-course guitars. The vihuela enjoyed only a relatively short period of popularity in Spain and Italy during an era dominated elsewhere in Europe by the lute; the last surviving published music for the instrument appeared in 1576.[9]
For example, in the guitar (like other stringed instruments but unlike the piano), open-string notes are not fretted and so require less hand-motion. Thus chords that contain open notes are more easily played and hence more frequently played in popular music, such as folk music. Many of the most popular tunings—standard tuning, open tunings, and new standard tuning—are rich in the open notes used by popular chords. Open tunings allow major triads to be played by barring one fret with only one finger, using the finger like a capo. On guitars without a zeroth fret (after the nut), the intonation of an open note may differ from then note when fretted on other strings; consequently, on some guitars, the sound of an open note may be inferior to that of a fretted note.[37]

For experienced players, you already know what kind of questions need to be brought up when purchasing a guitar. For beginners, a great starting point is to look at what your favorite guitarists play. By taking your own musical tastes into consideration, you can narrow down your choices to models that will provide the tone and sound you already know and love. But whatever you're looking for, you can be certain that the perfect guitar for you can easily be found, right here. Just take a look around and see for yourself.
A major chord is made from the I, III and V notes, so C major uses the notes C, E and G. To make a major chord into a minor, you flatten (lower the pitch by one fret, or a half-step) the III note. This means C minor is made up of C, Eb (flat) and G. So now, from the E major scale, E = I, F# (sharp) =II, G# = III, A = IV, B = V, C# = VI and D# = VII, you can work out both the major and minor chords. Sharps are just the opposite of flats, so you raise the pitch by one fret (or half-step). When you're working out the E minor chord, you have to flatten the F#, which just makes it back into a natural (neither flat nor sharp) F.
Another chord you come across every day, the E major chord is fairly straightforward to play. Make sure your first finger (holding down the first fret on the third string) is properly curled or the open second string won't ring properly. Strum all six strings. There are situations when it makes sense to reverse your second and third fingers when playing the E major chord.
Private Guitar lessons with a certified TakeLessons teacher are customized to each and every student based on their current skill level, and goals. Beginner students get to practice basic songs, basic exercises, and basic techniques. From there, the difficulty increases in order to properly challenge and motivate intermediate and advanced level guitarists to develop greater skills, to break through their preconceived limitations, and to ultimately get more satisfaction, meaning, and even paid opportunities from the becoming a skilled guitarist.
Repetitive open-tunings are used for two non-Spanish classical-guitars. For the English guitar the open chord is C major (C-E-G-C-E-G);[67] for the Russian guitar which has seven strings, G major (G-B-D-G-B-D-G).[68] Mixing a perfect fourth and a minor third along with a major third, these tunings are on-average major-thirds regular-tunings. While on-average major-thirds tunings are conventional open tunings, properly major-thirds tunings are unconventional open-tunings, because they have augmented triads as their open chords.[69]
Modern pickups are tailored to the sound desired. A commonly applied approximation used in selection of a pickup is that less wire (lower electrical impedance) gives brighter sound, more wire gives a "fat" tone. Other options include specialized switching that produces coil-splitting, in/out of phase and other effects. Guitar circuits are either active, needing a battery to power their circuit, or, as in most cases, equipped with a passive circuit.
Paul Gilbert has made Guitar World's "50 Fastest Guitarists of All Time", and his guitar shredding is legendary. Paul picked up his first guitar when he was 5 years old. By the time he was 15, he was featured in Guitar Player magazine. After graduating from the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT) in Los Angeles, Paul immediately joined the faculty as a guitar teacher. While teaching, he formed the band Racer X and Grammy-nominated group Mr. Big. Paul breaks down his iconic playing techniques and practice drills. He's known for his enthusiastic and approachable guitar lessons, which are founded on decades of experience.
In music, a guitar chord is a set of notes played on a guitar. A chord's notes are often played simultaneously, but they can be played sequentially in an arpeggio. The implementation of guitar chords depends on the guitar tuning. Most guitars used in popular music have six strings with the "standard" tuning of the Spanish classical-guitar, namely E-A-D-G-B-E' (from the lowest pitched string to the highest); in standard tuning, the intervals present among adjacent strings are perfect fourths except for the major third (G,B). Standard tuning requires four chord-shapes for the major triads.
Quartal and quintal harmonies also appear in alternate tunings. It is easier to finger the chords that are based on perfect fifths in new standard tuning than in standard tuning. New standard tuning was invented by Robert Fripp, a guitarist for King Crimson. Preferring to base chords on perfect intervals—especially octaves, fifths, and fourths—Fripp often avoids minor thirds and especially major thirds,[102] which are sharp in equal temperament tuning (in comparison to thirds in just intonation).
Electric guitars, introduced in the 1930s, use an amplifier and a loudspeaker that both makes the sound of the instrument loud enough for the performers and audience to hear, and, given that it produces an electric signal when played, that can electronically manipulate and shape the tone using an equalizer (e.g., bass and treble tone controls) and a huge variety of electronic effects units, the most commonly used ones being distortion (or "overdrive") and reverb. Early amplified guitars employed a hollow body, but a solid wood body was eventually found more suitable during the 1960s and 1970s, as it was less prone to unwanted acoustic feedback "howls". As with acoustic guitars, there are a number of types of electric guitars, including hollowbody guitars, archtop guitars (used in jazz guitar, blues and rockabilly) and solid-body guitars, which are widely used in rock music.
Traditional electromagnetic pickups are either single-coil or double-coil. Single-coil pickups are susceptible to noise induced by stray electromagnetic fields, usually mains-frequency (60 or 50 hertz) hum. The introduction of the double-coil humbucker in the mid-1950s solved this problem through the use of two coils, one of which is wired in opposite polarity to cancel or "buck" stray fields.
All three principal types of resonator guitars were invented by the Slovak-American John Dopyera (1893–1988) for the National and Dobro (Dopyera Brothers) companies. Similar to the flat top guitar in appearance, but with a body that may be made of brass, nickel-silver, or steel as well as wood, the sound of the resonator guitar is produced by one or more aluminum resonator cones mounted in the middle of the top. The physical principle of the guitar is therefore similar to the loudspeaker.
Extending the tunings of violins and cellos, all-fifths tuning offers an expanded range CGDAEB,[25] which however has been impossible to implement on a conventional guitar. All-fifths tuning is used for the lowest five strings of the new standard tuning of Robert Fripp and his former students in Guitar Craft courses; new standard tuning has a high G on its last string CGDAE-G.[26][27]
Ive been playing guitar for about 3 years, and this is the best song book I have ever learned from. Songs range from sweet home alabama by lynard skynard all the way to raining blood by slayer. All of the songs are accurate and complete with notes, tabs, lyrics, and copyright info. If you are like me, and you prefer to learn songs the way they were meant to be played than this book is for you.
The headstock is located at the end of the guitar neck farthest from the body. It is fitted with machine heads that adjust the tension of the strings, which in turn affects the pitch. The traditional tuner layout is "3+3", in which each side of the headstock has three tuners (such as on Gibson Les Pauls). In this layout, the headstocks are commonly symmetrical. Many guitars feature other layouts, including six-in-line tuners (featured on Fender Stratocasters) or even "4+2" (e.g. Ernie Ball Music Man). Some guitars (such as Steinbergers) do not have headstocks at all, in which case the tuning machines are located elsewhere, either on the body or the bridge.
Guitarists don't have to just look on in envy as pianists lead the holiday sing-a-longs this Christmas. Our selection of holiday Guitar Tabs include traditional classics we all love like "O Holy Night" and "Carol of the Bells" and the pop favorites that just wouldn't be the same without a guitar, like "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" by John Lennon. But if you just can't get enough of those traditional Christmas classics, you can pick up our collection of 'Christmas Favorites for Guitar.'


Huawei Technologies unveiled a $2,600 folding smartphone called "Mate X" that is primed for fifth generation, or 5G connections, on February 24.
The tech giant said it had taken the lead on developing phones for 5G, which promises super-fast Internet speeds for consumers. Network operators seeking to quickly deploy the new wireless networks are in a bind as Huawei's 5G equipment is seen as being considerably more advanced than its rivals.
The company has 180,000 employees in 170 countries and counts 45 of the world's biggest wireless carriers as customers.
"This phone is not only for today but also for future 5G. On all the benchmarks you can see the performance, the speed is the fastest for 5G in the world," said Richard Yu, head of Huawei's consumer business group.
Yu said the Huawei Mate X will have two back-to-back screens which unfold to become an eight inch tablet display. Mate X would be able to download a one gigabyte movie in three seconds. It will set a new upper limit for consumer smartphones when it goes on sale later this year.
This announcement comes even as the U.S. pushed to bar the Chinese company from networks over security concerns.
"[The ban] is not necessary and should not be released," said Huawei founder Guo Ping. The company is confident its issue would have little impact, as it is still the leading supplier of wireless mobile network equipment worldwide.
"In 2018, Huawei had revenues of over $100 billion. The share of US in this is really small. That means the US market can be ignored by us," Guo said in press conference.
However, U.S. officials suspect Huawei's products could be used to spy on Western governments and have severely restricted the company's presence in the U.S.
The U.S. considers the matter urgent, as companies around the world are preparing to roll out their 5G networks. Trump is reportedly considering an executive order to stop the Chinese firm from selling advanced equipment in the US.

RB Salzburg already polishing their new gem: Karim Adeyemi
Category: New Talents
We analyse the growth of what is set to be RB Salzburg's next export gem, 19-year-old German Karim Adeyemi.
Names like Marc Janko, Jonathan Soriano or Alan Carvalho probably ring a bell. On the safe side, the names of Munas Dabbur, Erling Braut Haaland or Patson Daka, three of RB Salzburg's most recent and numerous sales, are more likely to be familiar to you. All of them have scored a lot of goals, but their departure has not stopped the Austrian team from finding the net beyond, or much beyond, their borders. That's why everyone knows that when RB Salzburg sells a striker, it's because they are already making another one just as good or better.
With the sale of Patson Daka to Leicester City for 30 million euros, a formidable striker who filled the gaping hole left by the almighty Erling Braut Haaland in the best possible way, the Salzburg outfit are facing a new Austrian Football Bundesliga with a forward line that has an average of 20 years between its five strikers… 20 years old. Creating an extraordinary competitive field among the five players who are likely to get playing time this season, and while the status of each player is expected to change as the season progresses, there are two players who are already excelling in the new Austrian league and who are likely to generate large financial gains for Matthias Jeissle's team.
With Sekou Koita out with a serious injury, the task of scoring goals falls to German Karim Adeyemi and Slovenian Benjamin Sesko, the strike duo of the league leaders and favourites for the title. Focusing on the 19-year-old, perhaps the most special of the pair, Adeyemi already knows what it is like to win the European Under-21 Championship with the Mannschaft last summer. Despite starting Lukas Nmecha, Adeyemi, alongside RB Salzburg's Mergim Berisha, was one of the strikers chosen to lift the title, proving that his potential is extraordinarily high.
Scorer of four goals in the first two matchdays and also the scorer of RB Salzburg's 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid in a recent friendly, the circumstances seem more than propitious for his growth to come to fruition as he looks to boost his numbers. Among all the championships for which Driblab has data on his minutes, his xG per shot stands at 0.18, a particularly relevant value.
In the 1176 minutes he was able to play last season, almost always as a substitute, he equalled his career average xG per shot of 0.18, showing great effectiveness in his clearest chances. Left-footed, with an extraordinary ability to set up and finish, Adeyemi picks up the baton from the aforementioned strikers, especially for his speed in the final metres, his ability to break free, creating space for one-on-ones and offering a very high efficiency in his shots on goal.
Among his characteristics is a great explosiveness and determination in sudden actions, focused on hurting the opposing backline and finding the goal. Under Jesse Marsch last season, Adeyemi has absorbed the philosophy of the Austrian club, which is common to the football that is also being played in the German Bundesliga, playing with great intensity in the efforts, pressure and aggressiveness after recovery. A compendium of virtues that, as we can see in our 'lollipop' visualisation, has allowed him to lead some Austrian Bundesliga statistics at just 19 years of age and without being a starter.
