Taylor William Killingsworth.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - A man who attempted to rob an apartment in Gainesville was found dead Wednesday evening, deputies said.
The home invasion robbery happened around 5:52 p.m. Wednesday at the Grove Villas apartment complex at 6400 Southwest 20th Ave., according to the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.
Police said two masked men tried to rob an apartment that was occupied.
One of the masked men, identified as 23-year-old Taylor William Killingsworth, was shot by the resident of the apartment, according to the Sheriff's Office. Killingsworth was found dead at the scene.
The other suspect then fled the scene. Authorities said police are still trying to find him. He is described as black, about 6 feet 2 inches tall and has a thin build.
The Alachua County Sheriff's Office and the Gainesville Police Department are investigating the incident. Police urged residents to stay out of the area as they searched for the second suspect.

Is Chasing Yield A Hazard To Your Retirement?
We wrote recently about the fact that money is flowing more into bond funds than stock funds as an aging population seeks income due to an artificially low interest rate environment. The demand for income by an undersaved population that have seen years of savings wiped out by two nasty bear markets since the turn of the century are plowing money into income producing assets at a rapid pace. The question is whether these individuals are again making the same mistakes of the past of the unintended consequences of markets driven by artificial influences.
During the 2004-2007 bull market cycle investors chased equities, commodities and emerging markets investments as the housing and credit expansions fueled the artificial wealth effect. As the credit bubble crested investors clung to their investments as market analysts and economists were proclaiming that things were "contained." They were not – and the damage to retirements, and individual's lives, was devastating.
Since then these investors have shifted their mentality from chasing equities to finding yield from stocks and bonds. Bob Farrell once stated that "investor's buy the most at the top and the least at the bottoms" meaning that individual investors tend to react emotionally chasing the best performing assets right into the bust. The chart shows the BofA Merrill High Yield Index.
First of all, it is critically important to understand that "high yield" is jargon for "junk bonds." In other words, "high yield bond funds", which is a great marketing moniker for the uninitiated, means that the fund owns the debt of companies that are less than credit worthy. These companies are much like your cousin who asks to borrow money from you, and promises to pay you back, with a high rate of interest. The problem is that he has a very spotty employment record, does not manage his finances well, and has no money currently to his name. Do you lend him your money? However, this is exactly what investors have been doing in droves over the last three years.
The problem is that this does not typically work out well. The next chart shows the spreads between the AAA-rated 10-year treasury and BB rated corporate bonds (BB is the best of the junk bonds – uhh, I meant, high yield bonds) as well as the S&P AAA-rated bonds and BB rated bonds.
Importantly is that historically, when yield spreads are at current levels, it has been indicative of economic problems. When the economy stumbles – these "high yield" bond issuers tend to go bankrupt at an alarming rate. The Fed's intervention with QE 2 in 2010 is credited with keeping the economy from sliding into recession. The question is will QE 3 have the same effect? Investors are currently "all in" betting on QE 3 pushing spreads to levels that are historically alarming.
Investor's have also been chasing stocks with the highest dividend yields in their quest to increase income. The number of companies that now pay a dividend is 402 which is a level that has not existed in 13 years. More than 70% of those companies, which have already been paying a dividend, have boosted it within the last twelve months as uses for cash stockpiles are limited due the sluggish economy. That is the good news. The bad news is that investors have been piling into these same companies pushing valuations well beyond normal ranges. The chart shows two things: 1) rising dividend yields are associated with negative annualized returns in the S&P 500 and 2) the spread between the 10-year treasury rate and dividend yield is currently at levels associated with negative market returns. This is a warning – not a prediction.

Ізометри́чна проє́кція — це різновид аксонометричної проєкції, при якій у відображенні тривимірного об'єкта на площину коефіцієнт спотворення по всіх трьох осях однаковий. Термін «ізометрична» в назві проєкції прийшов з грецької мови і означає «однаковий розмір» (isos — однаковий, рівний + metria — розмір, вимірювання), відбиваючи той факт, що в цій проєкції масштаби по всіх осях однакові. В інших видах проєкцій це не так.

Ізометрична проєкція використовується в технічному кресленні і САПР для побудови наочних зображень деталей на креслениках, а також в комп'ютерній графіці для побудови тривимірних об'єктів і панорам.

Слід зазначити, що паралельні проєкції, різновидом яких є аксонометричні і, в тому числі ізометричні проєкції поділяються на ортогональні (перпендикулярні), з напрямом проєціювання перпендикулярним до площини проєкції, і косокутні, з кутом між напрямом і площиною, відмінним від прямого.

За ДСТУ 3321:2003 та ГОСТ 2.317-69 аксонометричні проєкції можуть бути і ортогональними, і косокутними.

Стандартні ізометричні проєкції

Прямокутна (ортогональна) ізометрична проєкція
У прямокутній ізометричній проєкції аксонометричні осі утворюють між собою кути у 120°, вісь Z' спрямована вертикально. Коефіцієнти спотворення () мають числове значення . Зазвичай, для спрощення побудов ізометричну проєкцію виконують без спотворень по осях, тобто коефіцієнт спотворення приймають рівним 1, у цьому випадку отримують збільшення лінійних розмірів в  рази.

Косокутна фронтальна ізометрична проєкція
Вісь Z' спрямована вертикально, кут між віссю X' і Z' становить 90°, вісь Y' розташована з кутом нахилу 135° (допускається 120° та 150°) до осі Z'.

Фронтальна ізометрична проєкція виконується по осях X', Y' і Z' без спотворення. Криві, що паралельні до фронтальної площини проєктуються без спотворень.

Косокутна горизонтальна ізометрична проєкція
Вісь Z' спрямована вертикально, між осями Z' і Y' кут нахилу становить 120° (допускається 135° і 150°), при цьому зберігається кут між осями X' та Y' рівним 90°.

Горизонтальну ізометричну проєкцію виконують без спотворень по осях X', Y' та Z'.

Криві, які паралельні до горизонтальної площини проєктуються без спотворень.

Візуалізація
Ізометричний вид об'єкта можна отримати, обравши напрям огляду таким чином, щоб кути між проєкцією осей X, Y та Z були однаковими і становили 120°. Для прикладу, якщо взяти куб, це можна виконати спрямувавши погляд на одну з граней куба, після чого повернути куб на ±45° навколо вертикальної осі і на ±arcsin (tan 30°) ≈ 35,264° навколо горизонтальної осі. При цьому контур ізометричної проєкції куба утворить правильний шестикутник.

Інший шлях візуалізації ізометричної проєкції полягає у розгляді виду кубічної кімнати з верхнього кута з напрямом погляду у протилежний нижній кут. Вісь X тут спрямована діагонально вниз і вправо, вісь Y — діагонально вниз і вліво, вісь Z — прямо вгору. Лінії, проведені здовж осей утворюють між собою кут 120°.

Матричні перетворення
Існує вісім різних варіантів отримання ізометричної проєкції в залежності від того, у який октант дивиться спостерігач. Ізометричне перетворення точки  у тривимірному просторі в точку  на площині при погляді у перший октант може бути математично описане за допомогою матриць повороту наступним чином. Спочатку, виконується поворот навколо горизонтальної осі (тут x) на α = arcsin (tan 30°) ≈ 35,264° і навколо вертикальної осі (тут y) на β = 45°:

Далі виконується ортогональна проєкція на площину x-y:

Інші сім можливих видів отримуються поворотом до протилежно розташованих напрямів та/чи інверсією напряму погляду.

Обмеження аксонометричної проєкції

Як і в інших видах паралельних проєкцій, об'єкти в аксонометричній проєкціях не виглядають більшим або меншими при наближенні чи віддаленні від спостерігача. Це є корисним в архітектурних креслениках і зручним у спрайто-орієнтаваних комп'ютерних іграх, але, на відміну від перспективної (центральної) проєкції, приводить до відчуття спотворення, оскільки оком чи при фотографуванні об'єкти сприймаються по іншому.

Часто виникають ситуації, коли глибину і висоту неможливо оцінити, як продемонстровано на ілюстрації приведеній справа. На цьому ізометричному рисунку блакитна кулька розташована на два рівні вище за червону, але цього неможливо побачити, якщо дивитись лише на ліву половину картинки. Якщо виступ, на якому знаходиться блакитна кулька, розширити на один квадрат, то він опиниться точно поряд з квадратом, на якому знаходиться червона кулька, створюючи оптичну ілюзію, ніби то обидві кульки перебувають на одному рівні.

Додаткова проблема, що є специфічною для ізометричної проєкції — складність визначення, який бік об'єкту спостерігається. За відсутності тіней і для об'єктів, що є взаємно перпендикулярними і сумірними, складно визначити, яка із сторін є верхньою, нижньою чи бічною. Це стається через приблизну рівність за розміром і площею проєкцій такого об'єкту.

Більшість сучасних комп'ютерних ігор переважно базуються на перспективній тривимірній графіці. Однак експлуатація проєкційних ілюзій є популярною в оптичному мистецтві — такому, як роботи з серії «неможливої архітектури» Ешера. Водоспад (1961) — гарний приклад, у якому будівля в основному ізометрична, у той же час як блідий фон використовує перспективну проєкцію. Друга перевага полягає у тому, що у кресленні навіть новачки легко можуть будувати кути в 60° з використанням циркуля та лінійки.

There is a detached randomness to life. Raised Christian, I believed that God had laid my life before me, and when unexpected or painful things occurred, it was because it was His plan.
As I grew, I discovered my role in shaping my destiny. I had come to realize that my personal dreams, wishes, desires and beliefs shape the reality that I inhabit.
Finally, I have reached a level of detachment. I almost experience things like I imagine a deity would…mildly curious, slightly aloof, partially amused.
I have told myself (and others) countless times, "Things happen for a reason." I believe that, to some degree. Sadly, the only way to see the ecstatic beauty of it all is in hindsight. Only armed with experience, pain, and the culmination, are you able to see how perfectly a given moment gives birth to the future experience.
I have reached one of those moments now. A moment that occurred almost two decades ago, that meant little to me (so little that I have no memory to speak of) has ricocheted into the present. It is a puzzle piece that has yet to fit into the overall picture.
What can I eat on the Keto Diet? Is my favorite food ok? Will I have to buy weird ingredients? This book is meant to give you a very brief overview of the Keto Diet, the process that happens to your body, and a week's worth of simple meal plans to get your started. Each meal plan is chosen for its simplicity, limited preparation, and no baking!

A Feast of Ice and Fire: The Official Game of Thrones Companion Cookbook
Chelsea Monroe-Cassel & Sariann Lehrer
Ever wonder what it's like to attend a feast at Winterfell? Wish you could split a lemon cake with Sansa Stark, scarf down a pork pie with the Night's Watch, or indulge in honeyfingers with Daenerys Targaryen? George R. R. Martin's bestselling saga A Song of Ice and Fire and the runaway hit HBO series Game of Thrones are renowned for bringing Westeros's sights and sounds to vivid life. But one important ingredient has always been missing: the mouthwatering dishes that form the backdrop of this extraordinary world. Now, fresh out of the series that redefined fantasy, comes the cookbook that may just redefine dinner . . . and lunch, and breakfast.
A passion project from superfans and amateur chefs Chelsea Monroe-Cassel and Sariann Lehrer—and endorsed by George R. R. Martin himself—A Feast of Ice and Fire lovingly replicates a stunning range of cuisines from across the Seven Kingdoms and beyond. From the sumptuous delicacies enjoyed in the halls of power at King's Landing, to the warm and smoky comfort foods of the frozen North, to the rich, exotic fare of the mysterious lands east of Westeros, there's a flavor for every palate, and a treat for every chef.
These easy-to-follow recipes have been refined for modern cooking techniques, but adventurous eaters can also attempt the authentic medieval meals that inspired them. The authors have also suggested substitutions for some of the more fantastical ingredients, so you won't have to stock your kitchen with camel, live doves, or dragon eggs to create meals fit for a king (or a khaleesi). In all, A Feast of Ice and Fire contains more than 100 recipes, divided by region:
• The Wall: Rack of Lamb and Herbs; Pork Pie; Mutton in Onion-Ale Broth; Mulled Wine; Pease Porridge
• The North: Beef and Bacon Pie; Honeyed Chicken; Aurochs with Roasted Leeks; Baked Apples
• The South: Cream Swans; Trout Wrapped in Bacon; Stewed Rabbit; Sister's Stew; Blueberry Tarts
• King's Landing: Lemon Cakes; Quails Drowned in Butter; Almond Crusted Trout; Bowls of Brown; Iced Milk with Honey
• Dorne: Stuffed Grape Leaves; Duck with Lemons; Chickpea Paste
• Across the Narrow Sea: Biscuits and Bacon; Tyroshi Honeyfingers; Wintercakes; Honey-Spiced Locusts
There's even a guide to dining and entertaining in the style of the Seven Kingdoms. Exhaustively researched and reverently detailed, accompanied by passages from all five books in the series and photographs guaranteed to whet your appetite, this is the companion to the blockbuster phenomenon that millions of stomachs have been growling for. And remember, winter is coming—so don't be afraid to put on a few pounds.
Includes a Foreword by George R. R. Martin

TECH Support Technical Support for your RX7, Open 24/7/365. Post your problems and see if someone can help!
Im getting rid of of my power steering can I just cap off my power steering rack and get rid of my power steering stuff or do I have to get a power steering rack.
I wish I was drifting right now!
not sure about the RX7, but on most cars, if you just block it off, you'll have very hard steering. you can check this by trying to turn the wheels with the car not running. that's how it will turn once all the power steering set up is removed. you'll also have to deal with the pump. if you remove it, you'll have to get another belt that will fit a non-power set up.
well if you just turn the wheel with the car not running and all the power steering stuff hooked up its hard because your pushing all that fluid through the sistem I was thinking if I drain all the fluid out off the rack and then cap it off it should be easier what do you think.
like i said, not sure on the RX7, but you'll still need to have some fluid in the system to lubricate the gears.
so, doesn't look like it would be that much trouble to plug the hoses and see how it works. i'd be curious to see how it works out for you. keep us posted if you do this.
most of my experience is with the old non-rack systems and i know they were very hard to steer, but maybe you're right, could be the fact you're still pushing all the fluid around.

To properly remove the PS you will need to run a non power rack or modify the power rack.
Here is a thread on how to De-Power your rack. There are a few how to's out there's another one by TitaniumTT.

BTW here is the write up by TitaniumTT.
I would go with a manule rack but the mazda trix angle kit im geting only fits power steering racks. so basicly what there saying is I have to take the rack out and cut that seal out.
Follow the procedure on de powering the rack the way it was written. I have not done this myself as of yet & might actually let someone else who has already done it do mine.

RB Matt Breida Finds his Niche in the 49ers Backfield
San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida caught the attention of many following his preseason debut on Friday against the Kansas City Chiefs. But before he received the opportunity to dance under the lights of Arrowhead Stadium, it's been an uphill climb for the undrafted free agent.
During his sophomore and junior season at Georgia Southern University, Breida rushed for a total of 3,094 yards and 34 touchdowns, leading the nation in yards per carry (7.6 and 8.68).
However, Breida's production dropped immensely in his following campaign. Breida rushed for 646 yards in 2016, and was limited to just 3 touchdowns.
Breida's decline in his senior campaign cost him an invite to the NFL Combine. But his lofty performance at his NFL Pro Day (4.37-second 40-yard dash, 42-inch vertical jump, 11-foot-2 broad jump and 23 reps on the bench press) caught the attention of the 49ers.
"I believe a lot of teams looked at my last year and didn't look at my previous two years," Bredia said. "They looked at my last season only because I had 600 yards rushing. But they didn't dig in deep to see why. The 49ers believed in me, (49ers run game specialist) Mike McDaniels and (49ers running back coach) Bobby Turner, they knew what type of runner I was. So, I definitely came in with a chip on my shoulder and wanted to prove to everybody that I belong in the NFL.

Enjoy the best images from the San Francisco 49ers road victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
"It was very frustrating, but still at the same time it was very humbling for me. Helped me know I have to work for everything. Not everything will be given to you. I feel like I got put in this position for a reason, and I'm happy to be here."
Breida has impressed throughout the first two weeks of training camp. He continued to show well in the 49ers first preseason game. Debuting as the second running back behind veteran Pierre Garçon, Breida set the bar for the 49ers backfield.
Breida's 26 snaps was the most of any 49ers running back. He finished the game with 11 carries for 40 yards, and 25 of those yards came after contact. His six forced missed tackles were the most of any NFL running back in Week 1 of the preseason. Breida's friday night performance named him to Pro Football Focus' "Team if the Week".
The inside-outside tandem of Breida and fellow rookie Joe Williams racked up yards in the second half against the Chiefs. Most of Williams' runs went to the outside while Breida found his niche as a power back rushing between the tackles.
"A lot of my long runs from Georgia Southern came from up the middle - my power runs, inside zone. So, I love running up the middle actually more than I do outside."
Still, Breida finds himself amid one of the deepest positions on the 49ers roster behind veterans Hyde and Tim Hightower. He'll have another chance to make a bid for a roster spot when the 49ers host the Denver Broncos at Levi's® Stadium on Saturday.
"Everyone here is good. Everyone here is fast," Breida added. "Coach Shanahan's offense is not an easy offense to learn. I'm getting better at it each day, and I've got to just keep improving."

Three More Women Come Forward to Accuse Bill Cosby of Sexual Assault
By Christine Pelisek / People
Three more women have publicly come forward with accusations that Bill Cosby sexually assaulted them in the 1970s and '80s. The three women, including an actress who appeared on The Cosby Show and the former wife of a vice president at the William Morris Agency, joined the more than 40 women who allege they were drugged, sexually assaulted or sexually harassed by the comedian.
At a press conference Wednesday, civil rights attorney Gloria Allred, who is now representing more than 21 accusers, said the three women are speaking out now to show their support for other accusers who have been criticized by Cosby's attorneys.
"There is no statute of limitations on free speech," says Allred. "A person who alleges that she or he is a victim can speak out at any time."
Cosby has consistently denied the allegations of sexual assault. His lawyer, Marty Singer, previously said that the claims "about alleged decades-old events are becoming increasingly ridiculous." Singer did not immediately comment on the new allegations.
At the press conference Wednesday, Colleen Hughes said she was a young stewardess with American Airlines in the early '70s when she allegedly met Cosby on a flight to Los Angeles. Hughes claimed Cosby flirted with her the entire flight and invited her to lunch in Beverly Hills. She agreed to go, but only with another stewardess. Cosby allegedly had a car and driver waiting for them at the airport but the other stewardess never showed up. Hughes claimed she drove with Cosby to the Fairmont Hotel and he allegedly watched television in her room while she got ready for lunch.
When she came out of the bathroom fully dressed, she said Cosby had allegedly ordered a bottle of champagne and was drinking it out of her Gucci pump. She claimed he raised the shoe towards her, and said, "A princess should always drink champagne out of a glass slipper."
Hughes said they started watching television and he allegedly tried to hold her hand. The last thing she remembered, she claimed, was waking up around 5:15 p.m. Her clothes were all over the room and she "felt semen on the small of my back and all over me," she claimed.
"It was disgusting," she said. "Bill obviously did not use a condom and there was no lunch and Bill was nowhere to be seen. I was confused and ashamed and never told anyone about what happened to me."
Linda Ridgeway Whitedeer told reporters that at the time of her alleged assault she was the recently divorced wife of Fred Apollo, a vice president and department head of live TV for the William Morris Agency, and who worked closely with the comedian. The former actress, who starred in 1972's The Mechanic with Charles Bronson, claimed she met Cosby on a movie set around 1971. She claimed Cosby told her she was there to be interviewed and then allegedly lured her into the director's office.
Once inside, Cosby exposed himself, grabbed her head and shoved his penis in her mouth, Whitedeer alleged.
"His attack was fast with surgical precision and surprise on his side," she claimed. "When Cosby was done there was a horrible mess of semen all over my face, my clothes and in my hair."
Whitedeer said she wanted to go straight to William Morris Agency but changed her mind because she didn't want to embarrass her ex-husband. "An actress is like a tennis player," she said at the press conference. "Her integrity and confidence are everything. For me, Bill Cosby was a career-killer."
The third alleged victim, Eden Tiri, said she was a 22-year-old actress when she was given a part playing a cop on The Cosby Show in 1989. While working on the set in front of hundreds of people, she alleged she was led off set to Cosby's dressing room twice but he wasn't there. The third time, Cosby was allegedly waiting for her. Inside the dressing room, she alleged Cosby wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear, "See that's all we were going to do, make love. This is making love. He turned me around, hugged me and I left without saying a word."
On July 29, a California judge ordered the comedian to give a deposition in the civil suit filed by Allred's client Judy Huth. The deposition is scheduled for Oct. 9.
"My hope for that deposition is that we will ask questions and he should provide answers," said Allred. "We have a great deal of latitude. We are looking forward to his answers. We are entitled to answers."
Huth claimed that Cosby, 78, molested her inside the Playboy Mansion when she was just 15 years old. She is just one of the nearly 50 women who've accused Cosby of some form of sexual abuse.
The deposition will be the first time Cosby has spoken about the sexual assault allegations against him since a separate case in 2005. Portions of that deposition were unsealed earlier last month; in the deposition, Cosby admitted he gave Quaaludes to a woman and then had sex with her.

Dodgers: Dave Roberts Speaks About Hyun-Jin Ryu's Impressive Performance
"He didn't skip a beat."
by Levon Satamian 08/11/2019, 6:00 PM
Dodgers ace Hyun-Jin Ryu made his return from the 10-day injured list, and he dominated once again. He pitched 7 innings, giving up 5 hits, 0 runs, 1 walk, and striking out 4 batters. Ryu improves to 12-2 on the season.
After the game, manager Dave Roberts spoke about Ryu's performance:
"He didn't skip a beat."

"He was very impressive, as you said. He didn't skip a beat, he just kept going, and he's got such a good pulse. Just the ability to keep making pitches, repeat his delivery. I thought the cutter was really good today; the changeup was there, the curveball was sharp, and changing high-low. So, he did everything that he needed to do, and it's a good hitting club over there and kept 'em off balance. So, it was good to see."
Dave Roberts on if he's seen anyone with a pulse-like Hyun-Jin Ryu:
"No. He lulls you to sleep and then gets in on you with a cut fastball. But then when he starts to smell the finish line, he can reach back for more, when they are stressed, he can reach back for more. But, yeah, to not pitch, to miss a start, to come out there, give us 7 innings, was good to see."
The 2019 All-Star is making his stretch run push toward the NL Cy Young Award where his biggest competition may be health.

Is a PSU Wattage over what your system uses ok to use?
For clarification, my build uses about 109 watts, but I can only find PSU's for 350 watts. Is using something like a 400 watt PSU ok, or would it be overkill, or would it (heaven forbid) destroy something with too much charge, or worse?
It's perfectly fine. The only thing bad that happens when you buy a PSU with excess wattage is that your wallet becomes emptier.
I could maybe imagine that massively overbuying a PSU could put you on a very bad part of the efficiency curve, but you'd have to be doing something like a 1500w PSU in a 100w build. Even then, nothing bad would happen except the PSU would waste a bit more electricity.
Power estimates are just guesses, so it's not a bad thing to have a PSU rated for a little bit more than the estimate shown.
You should at least select a 450 PSU regardless how low your builds power consumption is estimated for.
For the reason, that there aren't any decent PSUs with a rated wattage of 350 or 400.
And the most of them aren't good enough for the demands of a recent build.
Decent PSU's are having very good efficiency ratings, even with a build that does not consume more than 100 Watts!
If your build will use around 109 watts, then any PSU above that is just fine. The PSU will only draw/use the power needed and won't ever provide "too much charge". So using a 350W or 400W PSU is just fine...it won't hurt anything at all, and you won't have any problems.
If you'd like more assurances, please share a little more info about the components of your build. I do partially agree with mark5916 that I don't typically recommend any PSUs below 450W ... but it does depend a lot on your specific build and what you're using it for. With only 109W, I'm assuming this is a machine basically for surfing the web and maybe some office automation applications.
This is my Parts List. It's not really for just web surfing, but it's for low to mid end gaming.
Then, it should be fine, but a few things first.
SSD is on the small side.
-32 GB Ram, because I'll be playing Minecraft (that stuff needs way more than 6Gb ram to even work with mods), and also BeamNG (it needs quite a bit of RAM) -The SSD's small, but I won't be having many games, mostly just Minecraft, and BeamNG Drive. -I'm still working out the PSU -Unfortunately, an Optical Drive is still needed a lot where I live in India, so I just added it in.
Yes. According to PCPartPicker, My build draws approximately 300-400 watts (But you can never completely trsut wattage estimators.) But the graphics card manual recommends to have a 650 watt power supply. I took the old 750 watt power supply from my old build and stuck it in.
GPU manufacturers always overestimates the PSU recommendation, because they don't know the remaining parts of your build.
So for being sure, they always suggests PSU units... that in the most cases are way over the real power consumption of the build in question.
I'll be using a Ryzen 5 2400g, so no discrete GPU needed..
Yeah, that makes your build to be compatible with any available PSU on the market.
But keep in mind to get a good quality PSU.
You buy a PSU unit only once (mostly), so a decent one should it be with at least 5 years of warranty.

Grey wins Sony Bravia international brief, so has Anomaly been fired?
Posted by: Angie Dean in Advertisers, Agencies, News October 7, 2010	Comments Off on Grey wins Sony Bravia international brief, so has Anomaly been fired?
Apparently not, according to Campaign, as Anomaly remains its 'agency of record.' But it's not much good being one of those when a big juicy international campaign for Sony Bravia TVs goes to another agency.
Anomaly only picked up Bravia this year, producing its first campaign in May. At the time the switch out of award-winning Fallon UK seemed peculiar as the agency's 'bouncing balls' campaign had put Bravia into a league of its own in what had become a commodity TV set market.
Anomaly also lost its global Diesel account in double quick time earlier this year, the account moving to Argentina's Santo agency.
All of this could say something about Anomaly, maybe the difficulty of being an 'integrated' media-neutral agency and as good at telly as conventional creative agencies. It certainly says something about Sony which has embarked on what seems to be a never-ending process of agency change. Maybe Sony, like a growing number of clients, simply wants to cherry pick a new agency for each new campaign.
In which case it might have seemed sensible to give the business back to Fallon, now Saatchi Fallon in the UK.
Anyway it's very nice for Grey which will be running a campaign in Europe and Africa, and maybe further afield. Since the agency was acquired by WPP a decade ago it has dumped its reputation for being hopeless creatively by producing some decent work and expanding out of its traditional client base of drug giant GSK and Procter & Gamble.
In another coup for WPP (has Sir Martin Sorrell been working his charms on Sony boss Sir Howard Stringer?) its new digital-based start-up True Worldwide has won a £5m pre-Christmas campaign to promote Sony electronic products and Sony Centre shops. TBWA was the incumbent for this bit of business, assuming there still are incumbent agencies in Sonyland.
True Worldwide's founders include a couple of former Razorfish execs although this particular campaign doesn't sound very digital. But no doubt Sony knows what it's up to.

At N.W.T. site, tests begin for possible wind farm; Aurora Research Institute studying site near Snare hydroelectric system
Credit: CBC News | Jan 13, 2016 | www.cbc.ca ~~
The Aurora Research Institute is studying whether a wind farm would be economical near the N.W.T.'s Snare hydroelectric system.
In December technicians affixed wind monitoring equipment to a Northwestel tower.
The equipment measures wind speed, direction and temperature. J.P. Pinard, a consultant working on the project, says the hilly terrain is optimal for wind energy.
"If you go a certain height above the general landscape and you get above the inversion layer, there you get the winter winds," he said.
"What I'm finding is the winds are looking really good. I'm very impressed by what I'm seeing so far."
The data is part of a Northwest Territories government alternative energy study for the Yellowknife area.
Monitoring will continue for two years.
Pinard says a big challenge will be ice buildup, but that Rio Tinto's wind farm at the Diavik diamond mine has overcome that by installing heated blades.
"Diavik has proven that wind does work in the North. Now we are proceeding with how we can make it work for the Northwest Territories," he said.
Pinard says wind energy would help offset the cost of running diesel generators when water levels are low.
If developed, the wind farm could be the first in the territories that's connected to the public grid. Yukon Energy has also been monitoring winds at two sites in preparation for selecting a site for a wind farm.

This Law Report, dating from May 1817, concerns a preliminary hearings of litigation between William Bainbridge and an unknown respondent. It was undoubtedly reported not for its legal importance but rather because of the farcical nature of the discussions.
It is possible that this was one of the many hearings in the Bainbridge v Briggs case which was finally concluding in 1817. However, this may be undermined by the reporter's comment that the "issue to ascertain [was] the fact of the originality of the invention [of the double flageolet]"; the Briggs case principally concerned copyright violations and the single, rather than double flageolet. It also seems unlikely that Bainbridge and Briggs case was eventually resolved by an arbitrator, as happens here, rather than the Courts.
Sir Samuel Rommilly said, he had to apply to his Lordship for the purpose of preventing a defendant in an issue which had been directed by this Court, from forcing the plaintiff to trail under the following circumstances.
It was relative to the case of a person named Bainbridge, the inventor of a patent double flageolet. The issue to ascertain the fact of the originality of the invention stood ready for trail last term before Lord Ellenborough, but the Noble Judge had declared his absolute inability to decide such a cause.
He knew nothing about flageolets. It was a subject upon which he had never read a case in his life, and accordingly his Lordship recommended that the matter might be referred to an arbitrator. At this time it was supposed that Mr. Giffard, the present Solicitor-General, among his numerous qualifications, was deeply skilled in the science of music; nay more, it was supposed that he could play a concerto in this identical instrument, in as masterly a manner as he could argue a special case upon contingent remainders, [or] executory devises.
To him, therefore, the question was referred; but the appointment of that Learned Gentleman to the office of Solicitor-General, had rendered it impossible him to attempt the task of restoring harmony between the parties; besides, he did not feel himself qualified; for he was free to admit, that a very erroneous judgement had been formed of his knowledge of music, and particularly as to his ability to perform on the flageolet. He had therefore declined the office of arbitrator. The defendant now insisted upon trying the cause; other arbitrators had been mentioned, but the parties would hear of no one who was not a musician and a proficient on this instrument. The object of the present application was to induce his Lordship to nominate an arbitrator, as, unquestionably, if the cause went into Court, the same objection would be again made by Lord Ellenborough.
Mr. Wilson was proceeding on the same side, when The Lord Chancellor observed, that however agreeable it might be to hear the double flageolet, it would be too much to have a duet by two counsel upon a mere question of appointing an arbitrator.—Mr Harr said, he saw no necessity in this case for having a musical arbitrator. As well might it have been said the other morning, when the question was the appointment of an arbitrator respecting Day and Martin's blacking, that no barrister was fit for the office who could not black shoes.—The Lord Chancellor said that was a very different case; he thought he himself could learn to black shoes much sooner than he could learn to play upon a flageolet.
Mr Harr stated that his client was a poor man; while, on the contrary the plaintiff was opulent, and could without inconvenience to himself, harass the defendant with motions of this kind. He client was determined not to submit his case to arbitration, and therefore he trusted his Lordship would dismiss the present motion with costs.
The Lord Chancellor recommended the parties to come to some terms upon the subject rather than be tearing each other to pieces with endless litigation:—Fortunately his Lordship's good advice was attended to, and by a like good fortune a gentleman at the bar was recommended as arbitrator, who had all the qualities without which the parties though they could not have justice done them—The gentleman selected was not only a Mozart for his general knowledge but he was particularly famous for "discoursing most eloquent music" upon the immediate subject of the present dispute. All matters in difference were accordingly referred to Mr. Burnell.

Q: Is it unnecessary to subclass NSManagedObject in Swift 3? I know previously you would have to "Editor" > "Create NSManagedObject Subclass" in order to reference your Core Data's entity names in your classes. However I'm given several errors after creating these automatic subclasses.

My project runs fine without these subclass files, so does Swift 3 not require subclassing to reference entities anymore?

A: In Swift 3 you don't need to manually create subclasses for NSManagedObjects.
By default they are created automatically. But if you want manually create files, set Codegen to Manual/None in Utilities area for your testCD.xcdatamodeld.
From Apple's What's new in Core Data:

Xcode automatic subclass generation
Xcode now supports automatic generation of NSManagedObject subclasses in the modeling tool. In the entity inspector:

*

*Manual/None is the default, and previous behavior; in this case you
should implement your own subclass or use NSManagedObject.

*Category/Extension generates a class extension in a file named like
ClassName+CoreDataGeneratedProperties. You need to declare/implement
the main class (if in Obj-C, via a header the extension can import
named ClassName.h).

*Class Definition generates subclass files named like ClassName+CoreDataClass as well as the files generated for Category/Extension.

The generated files are placed in DerivedData and rebuilt on the first build after the model is saved. They are also indexed by Xcode, so command-clicking on references and fast-opening by filename works.

Libya: al-Gaddafi loyalists at risk of 'revenge' death sentences
2 August 2013, 00:00 UTC
Hundreds of former soldiers and supporters of Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi are at increased risk of the death penalty, said Amnesty International, following the sentencing of a former minister in al-Gaddafi's government to death.
Ahmad Ibrahim, a former Education Minister in al-Gaddafi's government, was sentenced to death by the Misratah Court of Appeals on Wednesday 31 July along with five other men. He was charged with incitement to discord and civil war and undermining state security during the conflict.
Thousands of detainees are being held in relation to the 2011 conflict, including members of al-Gaddafi's former security forces and others perceived as loyalists. Many are in danger of receiving similar sentences as courts process their cases in the coming months.
"While the victims of war crimes and human rights violations have the right to see justice being done, justice must not turn into revenge. The trials of former al-Gaddafi loyalists are a test for Libya's judicial system," said Philip Luther, Director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty International.
"The death penalty is the ultimate denial of human rights, and can never be justified, regardless of the crime or the offender. This ruling is a setback for human rights in Libya and undermines the achievements of Libyan civil society since the end of al-Gaddafi's rule."
Ahmad Ibrahim is the first senior official under the previous government to be sentenced to death. The sentences will have to be upheld by the Supreme Court before an execution can take place, but there is a real concern that they may signal a move towards resuming executions.
On 5 June, the Military Court in Misratah sentenced to death two soldiers on charges of opening indiscriminate fire on civilians in April 2011. This followed death sentences for five soldiers last November by the Military Court of Benghazi. Military jurisdictions should never have the power to impose the death penalty.
Among the most prominent loyalists facing trial is al-Gaddafi's son, Saif al-Islam, who is due to go on trial in Libya later this month. Libya has appealed a ruling by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to hand him over to be tried on two counts of crimes against humanity for his alleged role in the 2011 conflict.
Serious concerns about access to fair trials in Libya remain due to the precarious security situation. Arbitrary detention and enforced disappearances by militias continue. The use of torture and other ill-treatment in detention facilities is widespread.
State institutions, including courts, have been attacked. Lawyers, judges and prosecutors continue to be threatened regularly. In some cases, those representing individuals accused of being al-Gaddafi supporters have been abducted or subjected to physical harm.
"It is doubtful that Libya's judicial system can be truly independent and impartial under such circumstances," said Philip Luther.
The last known judicial executions in Libya were carried out in 2010, when at least 18 death sentences were implemented. Under al-Gaddafi, executions were regularly carried out by firing squads. The drafting of a new Penal Code, which among other things aimed at limiting the scope of the death penalty, had begun under al-Gaddafi, but was never completed. Libya's courts have been slowly resuming imposition of death sentences since 2012.
"The new Libyan authorities must do better than the ones under al-Gaddafi. A moratorium on executions should be adopted immediately, as a first step towards abolition," said Philip Luther.
Since the end of the conflict, the death penalty has remained in force for a wide range of crimes, including activities that amount to the peaceful exercise of the right to freedom of expression and association.
In a worrying trend, Libyan courts have resumed imposing death sentences in ordinary criminal cases, unrelated to the 2011 conflict, as well. In March five men were sentenced to death by the Criminal Court in Bengahzi for killing four bank staff in Tobruk in May 2012.
Amnesty International opposes the death penalty in all cases without exception.

Bankfurt ist ein in den 1970er Jahren aufgekommener Dysphemismus für die Stadt Frankfurt am Main.

Begriffsentstehung

Frankfurt am Main ist seit dem Mittelalter ein bedeutender Finanzplatz. Nach der Zerstörung der mittelalterlichen Altstadt durch die Luftangriffe auf Frankfurt am Main im Zweiten Weltkrieg entstand beim Wiederaufbau in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren ein vollkommen neues Stadtbild, das durch zahlreiche Hochhäuser geprägt war. Einen Schwerpunkt bildeten dabei von Anfang an die im hochverdichteten Bankenviertel angesiedelten Verwaltungsgebäude der Großbanken.

Der Spitzname Bankfurt entstand zur Zeit des Frankfurter Häuserkampfes Anfang der 1970er Jahre. Wie die gleichzeitig aufgekommenen Begriffe Mainhattan und Krankfurt diente er in der politischen Auseinandersetzung als Schimpfwort, um einen rücksichtslosen Kapitalismus zu attackieren, für den die Banken und ihre Hochhäuser standen. Folge sei die bewusste Zerstörung gewachsener Stadtviertel und ungezügeltes Profitstreben zu Lasten der alteingesessenen Bevölkerung. Der Ruf der Stadt litt zudem unter häufigen Straßenschlachten zwischen Demonstranten und Polizei. Organisierte Kriminalität, beispielsweise Drogenhandel, zeigten sich vor allem im Frankfurter Rotlichtviertel, das direkt neben dem Bankenviertel liegt. Frankfurt galt damals  als hässlich und "unregierbar".

1979 veröffentlichte die Frankfurter Rockband Strassenjungs den Titel Bankfurt mit dem Refrain:

Seit den 1980er Jahren entwickelte sich die Frankfurter Skyline zum Wahrzeichen der Stadt und zum Symbol für Prosperität und Zukunftsorientierung. Die Bevölkerung identifizierte sich zunehmend mit ihren Hochhäusern, die spätestens seit Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts als neues Wahrzeichen der Stadt gelten.

Seit den 1990er Jahren wird der Begriff Bankfurt seltener verwendet. Seine negative Konnotation im Hinblick auf Frankfurt hat er weitgehend verloren, ohne dass er jedoch wie Mainhattan zu einem positiven Symbolbegriff für die Stadt wurde.

Percussion lines in many electronic music genres, particularly hip-hop/rap tend to sport larger-than-life drums. Its a sound that's easily recreated but not immediately apparent if you're new music creation / composition.
This isn't an all inclusive post on every possible technique but rather a starting guideline. For brevity's sake, I'll be using a pre-existing loop as my template, this isn't a requirement but rather an easy starting point. Loops are a tool just like a virtual instrument, but easy to abuse. Using using pre-existing loops may get good out-of-the-box results but you're exceptionally limited in your expressive abilities, loops are best manipulated to become something new.
This loop is pretty straight-forward and I selected for a few traits, its relaxed and isn't a percussion line that I'd associate with the beefy/meaty qualities of a hip hop boom-bap percussion line.
This is the raw unprocessed loop. Unprocessed is a relative term as this loop was obviously recorded/arranged/mixed by someone else other than me, but I have not altered it in any way.
Most people are familiar with Photoshop so I'll be using it as my analogy. Photoshop has plugins/filters that allow certain effects to achieved quickly. Back in the late 90s, web design was particularly fond of plugins, garish lens flares, drop shadows and bevels. Some of you may even remember AlienSkin Eye Candy, which became the standby for cheesy flames and textures. Many would-be graphic designers relied too heavily on the effects, and not enough on the composition. Effects are best used when they're subtle, they should never be the focus.
Audio is similar, there isn't a magic plugin that will make things suddenly sound amazing, and its easy to over do it. However, effects are more part of the process chain than visual arts as they alter the dynamics of the sound. A better analogy would be in audio they're both like photoshop plugins and core-techniques like masking, levels, blending modes and so forth.
If you're not sure what the difference is between a limiter and a compressor or overdrive vs distortion, you should probably start reading up. Its a blog post in itself.
Even if you're not a mixing engineer, core techniques are necessity. You should be familiar with EQing, and not just EQing but parabolic EQs and multiband EQs. It may sound daunting at first but they're easy to pick up on after you start using them.
As a genera starting point there's a few things you can do easily to make drums sound bigger. EQing and Compression should be your first attempt but this can only do so much.
A mild Overdrive (I used PSP Vintage Warmer) makes drums a bit crunchier as it simulations over-saturation akin to analog hardware. Analog isn't intrinsically better than digital (so don't start believing the hype) but it does have some desirable properties that can be emulated/simulated rather easily in digital.
For hip hoppers, older drum machines like early MPCs often either defaulted or were limited to 12 bit sampling instead of 16 bit. Bit depth dictates sound pressure levels in audio. The higher bit depth, the higher dynamic range (range between absolute silence to the maximum volume). Lower the bit depth, the dirtier a sound will sound (often hissier). To keep with the image editing analogy, bit depth dictates the amount of total colors can be used. With audio, it dictates how many steps in sound pressure. The grittier sound that's associated with 12 bit samples sonically can be desirable. Its not a dramatic effect but it does add to the "roughness" that can be heard in many golden-era hip hop songs.
Below I've added a mild overdrive and bit crusher, effect to lower it to 12 bit with a very slight EQ adjustment to tone down the the 2khz-5.5khz range to tame the high hats.
Percussion isn't just about effects, a very popular and very old technique is to layer different percussion sounds on-top of each other. This works best with kicks and snares. Pairing drums often requires a bit of guess work but the results are well worth it.
Below I selected one-shot drum samples, neither of which would be my first choice to start a track with. Below I've compose loop that nearly matches the kick and snare pattern but not entirely at the end.
Combining the two sets of sounds will yields what now sounds like a percussion line fitting of a hip hop track. Notice that in the loop below that in the later part a few of the kicks are absent from the original loop. This creates a level of complexity, when only the original loop's kick can be heard.
These sort of techniques can create change ups or drum fills, even in hip hop you shouldn't ever lock yourself into a 4 or 8 bar loop without any change ups/fills.
Between effects and layering, its easier to create larger-than-life drums. Experiment and play around.
One other tip that took me a few weeks to figure out the very basics for hip hop patterns, the snare almost always falls on the ¼ and ¾ notes, with minor deviations. Kick patterns vary more. Club sounds tend to be more minimalist whereas underground/indie percussion lines vary more, and often sound (and are) like they are lifted right off an old vinyl record.
Just as this the title suggests, beginners tend to over mix the high hats, having them at the forefront. Usually high hats are more recessed and lie much lower in the mix. Avoid cranking the volume and do the opposite, and let them hang in the background.
This concludes the very basics on making fatter drums, feel free to drum me a line.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Matt Haarms used the cascading boos and profane chants as motivation Tuesday night.
Instead, he found himself in the perfect spot to make the perfect play with 3.2 seconds left — a tiebreaking tip-in to give No. 15 Purdue a 48-46 victory at rival Indiana.
He became the crowd's punching bag when he landed on the ground after locking arms with De'Ron Davis late in the first half. After the refs assessed each player a foul, the Dutchman was jeered on every play he was involved in.
He returned 6½ minutes later, to even louder boos, but ready to make a difference and when the chance came, Haarms delivered.
Indiana had a chance to win it at the buzzer but Juwan Morgan's 3-pointer glanced off the rim — ending the lowest scoring game in the series since January 1950 and helping the Boilermakers (19-7, 12-3 Big Ten) win their third straight at Assembly Hall for the first time in school history.
Purdue: Edwards, the Big Ten's leading scorer, was 4 of 24 from the field and 0 for 10 on 3-pointers. He also had seven rebounds and four assists and finished with its worst scoring total of the season. ... Purdue shot 31.7 percent for the game and finished with its lowest scoring total this season. ... The Boilermakers have won five straight in the series and 10 of their last 11 overall.

Crown Prince calls POCC meeting to embrace Tonga's 4 golden values
Crown Prince HRH Tupouto'a 'Ulukalala officially opens 2016 POCC conference in Nuku'alofa
RESPECT, humility, reciprocation and patriotism are the four core values that underpin Tongan Society.
The foundation upon these pillars stand is love, kindness and care. These have been the source of strength and survival for Tongan culture and society as well as being concepts that inspire the Legislative Assembly of Tonga and parliamentarians to aspire to.
His Royal Highness Crown Prince Tupouto'a 'Ulukalala makes these remarks when he officially opens this morning the 47th Presiding Officers and Clerks Conference (POCC) at the Fa'onelua Convention Centre.
He told more than 70 Presiding Officers and Clerks from 10 Pacific islands including Australia and New Zealand to share these values that were created and envisioned for the people of Tongan by the late King George Tupou I.
He says as leaders of national parliaments, they are being entrusted with a heavy and crucial task to ensure that Legislatures are effectively carrying out their constitutional mandates. While at the same time oversee the performance of its MPs and parliamentary staff.
The theme for 2016 POCC conference is "Navigating together the challenges for modern Parliament.
On that note, HRH Crown Prince urges participants as they actively discuss the challenges of their Parliaments face, to consider embracing these Tongan pillars of love, respect, humility, reciprocation and patriotism not only in themselves but also in their roles as parliamentarians.
"As a Pacific family … I am positive that these will be a huge first step to overcoming a lot of the challenges they face.
…However I am very confident that as captains of your ships, you will navigate together to achieve modern, influential, relevant, strong and effective Parliaments that strive for the collective benefit of our Pacific people," says the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness was also optimistic that this meeting will provide opportunities for sharing knowledge and best practices that will help build, develop and sustain our Pacific Parliaments.
Significance of Speaker's role
In his welcoming speech, the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Tonga, Lord Tu'ivakano reminded participants they are responsible for steering their Parliaments in the right direction for navigating through both familiar and unfamiliar waters.
"We are responsible for ensuring our Parliaments carry out their Constitutional functions," says Lord Tu'ivakano.
The Speaker says the call for parliamentarians to represent, legislate, scrutinize, account and to be transparent is increasing, especially with the advancement of democracy and the demand for good governance is on the rise.
Therefore he asserts MPs the survival and strength of parliamentary democracy depends heavily on their ability as Presiding Officers and Clerks to meet challenges and to adapt to changes.
Lord Tu'ivakano says national parliaments have the benefit of strong networks, information at their own fingertips provided throught the improvement of technology, evolving knowledge and a wealth of good and best practices. According to the Speaker this helps their respective parliaments to create institutions that thrive and remain relevant in a world of complexities, changes and challenges.
Parliament key institution to democracy
Meanwhile the Secretary General of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) Mr. Akbar Khan reminded MPs that Parliament is the key pillar of any functioning democracy. He says in fact, it is difficult to imagine what kind of democracy can exist without an effective Parliament that scrutinises governments and ensures transparency while promoting good governance.
"Parliaments serve as powerful agents of change sitting as they do at the centre of a network of accountability that reaches into the Executive and other branches of government, the political party system and to the public.
As such, a country's Parliament must not be an exclusive and remote institution removed from its citizens but rather at the heart of society, accessible and accountable to all amplifying public voices so that government reflects the priorities of the people," explains Mr. Khan.
At the same time, the Deputy Speaker Lord Tu'i'afitu acknowledges that although most Legislatures are changing and transitioning, one thing remains constant, that is our people counting on Parliaments and MPs to have their voices heard at the decision making level.
The POCC conference runs until Wednesday, July 13.

SETC is turning 70 in 2019! As part of our celebration, we've been digging through our archives, reading about our history, and thinking about which of our many offerings we wish more people knew about. We'll be highlighting 70 of our favorite tidbits as we gear up for 2019 and our 70th annual convention.
What changed in our mission statement? Just one word. "Nationwide" was added to SETC's mission statement in 2018 to better reflect SETC's growing national profile, as the number of members, professional companies and others who attend our convention and access SETC's many programs and services from across the country continues to increase. Our current active membership comes from 48 states (including Alaska & Hawaii), the District of Columbia, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

SETC has over 3,000 twitter followers.
Tituss Burgess got his start at SETC.
After first auditioning at SETC in 2000, Tituss Burgess returned 10 years later as a keynote and masterclass presenter at the 61st annual SETC Convention in Lexington, KY. His Broadway credits in between included Good Vibrations (2005), Jersey Boys (2005), The Little Mermaid (2007), and the revival of Guys and Dolls (2009). Since we last saw him, he's been nominated for numerous Emmy and Critics' Choice Television Awards for his roll as Titus Andromedon in Netflix's popular series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
Tituss Burgess shares advice with singers in a musical theatre masterclass at the 2010 SETC Convention.

Two of SETC's earliest presidents had ties to NADSA.
SETC's second president was Dr. Thomas E. Poag. Dr. Poag was the first African American to receive a master's degree and a PhD in Theatre in the U.S. He was an esteemed writer, director, producer, actor, lecturer, administrator and teacher. Oprah Winfrey was one of his students and mentions him in her book. When elected as SETC's president in 1951, Dr. Poag had already been president for nine years of the Southern Association of Dramatic and Speech Arts, an all-black organization of college theatre and speech programs (now NADSA, Southern being replaced by National). A few years later, in 1956, NADSA's founder, the similarly esteemed S. Randolph Edmonds who is often called the "Dean of Black American Theatre," was selected as SETC's fifth president.
SETC has conducted roughly 50,000 auditions in the last 20 years!
KEAP (Keynote Emerging Artists of Promise) awards were initiated by 2005 SETC Keynote Speaker, playwright Samm-Art Williams.

Researchers at Michigan State University have found that prenatal exposure to DDT, an insecticide commonly used up until the 1970s, may play a role in the obesity epidemic among women.
DDT was banned in 1973 after outcries of it being a highly toxic substance with slow degradation, and its byproducts still remain toxic today in marine life and fatty fish.
Researchers studied a cohort of more than 250 mothers who live along and eat fish from Lake Michigan for their exposure to DDE – which is a breakdown of DDT.
This study analyzed DDE levels in the daughters, ages 20-50 years old, of those women, and whether exposure to the toxin was a cause of obesity.
The study revealed that those with intermediate levels of DDE, compared to the group with the lowest levels, had gained an average of 13 pounds of excess weight. Those with the highest levels had gained more than 20 pounds. The women who had the highest levels of DDE also consumed the most fish and high fat meats.
Because of these findings, a new line of research may be able to transform how researchers treat – and seek to prevent – obesity, and possibly help create prenatal tests to show which offspring are at higher risk of being overweight.

INDIANAPOLIS - Hoosiers have a rare opportunity to get an up-close look at the power of art and the role it plays in social activism. A traveling poster exhibit will be in Indiana over the next week, featuring 59 posters from more than 20 social justice movements. According to Erin Polley, Indianapolis program coordinator with the American Friends Service Committee, the display demonstrates the effectiveness of boycotts as a nonviolent tactic to end injustice and oppression.
"Art is a really powerful tool to reach people, and some of these posters, even before graphic design, (are) really incredible and (have) amazing imagery and colors that tell a really fascinating story about social change around the world," she declared.
The exhibition, "The Boycott! The Art of Economic Activism," was created by the American Friends Service Committee and the Center for the Study of Political Graphics. It will be on display at Butler University in Indianapolis this week, and then at Earlham College in Richmond next week. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
Polley said the posters are from a variety of movements from the 1950s until now, including the Montgomery bus boycott, South African Apartheid protests, the Palestinian call for boycotts of Israel, and protests of corporations using sweatshops.
"We really hope this is an opportunity for viewers to challenge and evaluate their economic choices and consider whether or not our choices contribute to a more just and peaceful world," she said.
The display opened last fall in Washington, and has been traveling the East Coast. Midwest program director for the AFSC, Jennifer Bing, said there are a variety of venues that have hosted the show, but colleges and universities provide an ideal environment.
"We see that it's students that are engaging in economic activism, whether it's around climate change, fossil fuels or around human rights, but there are all different kinds of venues where this will be displayed."
The display will be at an art gallery in Fort Wayne later in the year.
More details are at AFSC.org.
