A helper function used for locating nodes in the muster graph.
After a value, this is the most useful node in the whole of muster. It can be used in the dependencies of a computed, to link parts of the graph, as an output of a computed, etc.
Creates a new instance of a variable node, which is a node that can store values. Its read and write process is synchronous. Each variable node has an initial value that defines both the node's starting value and its fallback when reset. See the reset and "Resetting variables" example to learn more about resetting variables.
The example below utilises another node (set) which will be introduced below.
Set is a node which allows for setting values of certain nodes, e.g. variable, fromPromise and placeholder.
The output of a set is the same as a value property.
When resolving a set against an asynchronous node like fromPromise, the value from the resolver will wait for fromPromise to update to new value, then emit value from set.
This example demonstrates how a set can be used to update the value of a variable. The set also returns the value set to the target node.
This example demonstrates that a set waits for the target value to be updated before returning a result.
The value node is used for storing raw data and for sending data to other nodes.
fn is a type of NodeDefinition used for representing executable functions implemented with muster NodeDefinitions. These functions are safely serializable and can be executed on a remote muster instances.
This example shows how to create a very basic fn that simply returns a true value ever time it gets called.
This example shows how to call an fn. See the call documentation to learn more about calling callable nodes.
Action is a type of NodeDefinition that allows for defining reusable fragments of code which can interact with the graph. The action on its own is treated as a data-node - just like a value or an array but it can be used as a target for a call or apply nodes.
A NodeDefinition: an output of the action. This node can be resolved later.
An iterator of GraphNodes: the most common use for the action. The action body can be defined as a generator function. This way the action can perform complex operations. See the "Using generators in an action node" example to learn more.
The below example also makes use of the call node which is described below.
This example shows how to return values from an action. As with the computed node, the value returned from the action function is converted to a value if is not already a NodeDefinition.
Call is a node which is used when calling a NodeDefinition that implements a call method, e.g. action, fn or placeholder.
series([arg 1, arg 2, ..., arg n]) is a resolvable node that takes a list of statements to be executed, with the last being a return statement. The statements are executed in sequence.
This example shows how to use the series node to execute a series of nodes.
true is returned as it is the value found at the end of the series() node.
In the above example, the final ref() node in the series is not called because ref('second') throws an Error(), which breaks out of the sequence and its value 'Boom!' is returned.
parallel([arg 1, arg 2, ..., arg n]) is a resolvable node used to perform a set of operations as a single combined operation.
This example shows how to use the parallel node to call multiple set() operations to update three nodes at once.
This example shows how to use the parallel node to call multiple ref() operations to get the values of three nodes at once.
As can be seen from the above example, the parallel() node returns its many values in the form of an array.
and(arg 1, ..., arg n) is a logical node that takes one-or-more arguments and resolves to true if and only if all arguments are truthy, false otherwise.
or(arg 1, ..., arg n) is a logical node that takes one-or-more arguments and resolves to true if any of its arguments are truthy, false otherwise.
not(arg) is a logical node that takes one argument and resolves to the inverse boolean value of its input. Inputs are evaluated for truthiness.
gt(arg 1, arg 2) - Greater than - Resolves to true if and only if arg 1 > arg 2.
gte(arg 1, arg 2) - Greater than or equal to - Resolves to true if and only if arg 1 >= arg 2.
lt(arg 1, arg 2) - Less than - Resolves to true if and only if arg 1 < arg 2.
lte(arg 1, arg 2) - Less than or equal to - Resolves to true if and only if arg 1 <= arg 2.
Creates a new instance of an add which is a type of NodeDefinition used to compute the sum of multiple number-based values. The add takes any number of operands. It will throw an error if the number of operands is below 2 as it doesn't make sense to do the sum operation with a single operand.
Creates a new instance of a subtract node, which is a type of NodeDefinition used to compute the difference between multiple number-based values. The subtract node takes any number of operands. It will throw an error if the number of operands is below 2 as it doesn't make sense to do the subtraction operation with a single operand.
Currently Muster supports several collection data sources, and the two most common will be introduced below, namely array, and arrayList.
Array is a type of collection, much like an in-memory array you are no doubt familiar with. It is a fixed length data store, which can be access using the query node discussed previously.
This example shows how to create a basic collection containing values, and how to access the items from it. The process of getting items out of collection requires the use of a query with an entries.
This example shows how to retrieve given fields from every item of the collection. Here, each collection item is a tree. This means that in order to get the value of an item, we have to make a query to specific fields of that branch. The query we made in this example requests the title of each book, but ignores the author and year.
When modified in any way this array retains the state for as long as the parent scope exists, or until a reset operation is executed on the array. This behaviour resembles the behaviour of a variable node.
This example shows how to create a simple mutable array and use a few operations on it.
As well as collections being a data store, it is also possible to perform transformations on the collection. Below are some of the more common transforms.
Creates a new instance of a filter node, which is a type of collection node transform used to filter the items returned from a collection using a given predicate. The predicates are constructed from muster logic nodes.
This example shows how to apply a filter to a collection. The predicate from this example uses a gt node for filtering items that are greater than 2. See the gt documentation for more information.
This example shows how to apply a filter to a collection from within a query node. The filter predicate uses a lt node to filter the items with a value of less than 4.
This example shows how to create complex queries with an and node. These nodes can be nested indefinitely.
Creates a new instance of a sort node, which is a type of collection transform used to sort the output of a collection. The sort order takes an array of sortOrders which define the ordering of the sort. The items of the order array are assuming a descending order of priority, with the first item having the highest priority and the last one having the lowest.
This example shows how to apply the most basic sort transform. Although the sort officially takes an array of sort orders, you can still define a sort with a single sortOrder.
This example shows how to implement a transform that sorts by the given leaves of a branch. It shows the implementation of the example that was featured in the description of the sort.
This example shows how to use a map to multiply every item of the collection by 2. The multiplication is done with help of an arithmetic graph node, multiply.
This example shows how to use a map transform to change the shape of items. It converts each item from a simple value to a tree with a branch named number containing the item's original value.
Muster comes with functionality to manipulate and restrict the shape of a graph without editing it directly. This includes using the scope() node to obscure a part of a graph in an isolated environment and extend() to append nodes to an existing graph to be used contextually.
Creates a new instance of a scope node, which is used when to isolate part of the muster graph from the rest.
The nodes from a scope are accessible from the parent scope.
The nodes within the scope cannot access anything from the parent scope.
By default, the scope also isolates the scope from external events and prevents the events dispatched in this scope leaving it. The behaviour of isolating scope from events dispatched in the parent scope can be overwritten with the help of the redispatch property.
See dispatch to learn more about event dispatching and how to configure the event re-dispatching.
This example shows how to create a scope with a single branch containing a value leaf. This leaf can be accessed as if the scope was a normal branch.
This example shows how addressing changes within a given scope. Normally, ref('greeting') would have returned value('Hello, world') but a scope changes the root of the graph. Any ref() node within a scope can only reference branches the scope encapsulates.
context() is a node which is used to inject nodes from outside a given scope into that scope.
This example shows the syntax for using the context node to refer to the outer greeting branch in order to access its value from the greeting branch in the scope.
The extend() node is used to append nodes to an existing branch of a graph.
In this example, the initial branch of the tree only contains firstName and lastName as children of user. Using the extend node, the tree has age appended to it, which can be referenced by calling the name of the branch which performs the extension.
This example shows how to get current path with parameters as a combined object.
This example shows how to set the current location to a new value.
This example shows how to get only the path part of the URL. Internally the 'path' is handled by the locationPath node.
This example shows how to set only the path without overwriting path params. Internally the 'params' is handled by the locationPath node.

The feud between Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is finally coming to a close as PCB chairman proposed an ultimatum.
PCB Chairman Najam Sethi has said that BCCI should either let their team play against Pakistan or forfeit in case the teams are drawn against each other in the International Cricket Council (ICC) Test Championship.
This strong step from Pakistan's board has sent shockwaves across the border as BCCI did not anticipate such a reaction after they refused to play series against Pakistan despite signing a contractual agreement.
Earlier today, there were reports which suggested that BCCI representatives met Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore to explore the possibility of resuming cricketing ties with Pakistan.
If the reports are credible and cricketing ties do resume, this will be a huge victory for PCB and the entire nation.
Najam Sethi met with Board of Governors (BoG) and in the six-hour long meeting, Sethi claimed that there has been no positive response from India.
I've not received any official information but to be honest, I don't think India have a lot of choices.
Either they will play us or they will forfeit and we will get the points. I don't think any team has a third option.
In the meeting, Sethi also explained the reason why the schedule of PSL's third edition has been delayed.
The schedule was ready, but the delay took place because Dubai and Abu Dhabi want more matches in the third edition. Therefore, we had to withhold the schedule as our team is going to the UAE to discuss possible solutions.
Najam Sethi claimed that majority of the players are still willing to travel to Lahore, despite the hesitancy due to smog. He also mentioned that players do not particularly want to travel to Karachi in an ideal situation, which is why a second draft has been prepared.
why teams don't want to visit Karachi. even worst accident took place in Lahore than blast also occurred in Lahore. Its all about Federal Government promoting Punjab.
We should not play these terrorists. Who knows they will say Jai mata ke and then boom explode themselves as suicide bombing is invented by militant hindu brahman elite phedo, treat to world peace.

Celebrating Earth Day Everyday!
History Earth Day
On April 22, 1970, almost 20 million Americans rallied for a cleaner, more sustainable environment through "teach in" demonstrations throughout the nation. Springing from the first Earth Day were important amendments to the Clean Air Act and the creation of the Clean Water Act.
Earth Day has become a yearly celebration in over 175 countries, with one billion people engaging in sustainability fairs, cleanups and recycling events globally. Activities for Earth Day have expanded so much that the month of April is now considered Earth Month.
With these successes, Earth Day evolved into a movement for environmental causes which are truly international in scope – clean air and water, global warming, etc.. However, recycling was left out in the cold.
Celebrate Recycling
None of us are born environmentalists. All of us love our world and understand the significance of these international issues for sustainable living. Among the simplest ways to celebrate Earth Day year-round is by recycling.
Why celebrate recycling? As it's one of the few things we could do this contributes measurably to our planets health on a daily basis. It's a habit which we can all do to contribute to the larger picture. It's intrinsic value and it's also a symbolic act. People feel good when they recycle, especially at events. And that fantastic feeling is contagious. Our job is to make recycling available everywhere so people can make a difference, day in and day out.
There's a whole lot of room for advancement. What's the state of recycling in the country? The truth is that public space recycling is only available at 12 percent of places in america. There's a whole lot of room for advancement.
Recycling is a habit which we can all develop to some make positive effect on the environment every day. When you recycle, every day could be Earth Day.
A Billion Acts of Green: Personal, organization and company pledges to live and behave sustainability is the goal of Earth Day.
Not all rewards are economical. It's necessary that recycling "closes the loop". However, the most significant benefits of recycling aren't quantifiable. Millions of individuals are passionate about recycling because they recognize it as the voice of the future.
GET INVOLVED – Recycling is our Heritage
The actual cost of not recycling today is a waste of spirit, substance, and also the value of the next generation. When you have a look at the rest of the world today, or fast forward into our future, recycling is sustainable and inevitable.
Individuals who recycle today are worried about the future of the planet we share.
Expect a future where Recycling is the Norm.
The disposable society breeds disposable integrity. Recycling recaptures the greatness of our national personality. Recycling is all about the future. It's up to each of us to help form a vision of the future where recycling is the standard.
As they realize that we're borrowing the world from our grandchildren, the general public will also become better steward of our resources.
Who speaks for recycling this Earth Day? You do.

Buying a home, no matter whether it's a very first or you've gone through the process multiple times, is an exciting journey and among the most fulfilling milestones to be reached in life. While the process is complicated, that doesn't necessarily mean it will be stressful and certainly shouldn't be feared. Rather, working with the amazing professionals we have right here in the Omaha area will allow you to have the best possible experience while also avoiding any pitfalls that may present themselves along the way.
Indeed, as many of our local real estate agents will agree, securing financing is a major part of the buying process. As another area that's complicated to anyone not actively involved in the industry, you'll want to be sure you're working with a knowledgeable lending professional that has plenty of experience with the mortgage process.
"Start working with a lender early on in the process, before looking at new homes. This ensures a buyer is pre-approved and ready to write an offer, which gives them negotiating strength over other potential buyers who haven't taken this crucial first step. It also ensures that the party has accurate costs, cash needed to close amount, and monthly payment numbers before deciding on the right home. To get pre-approved, a borrower completes a mortgage loan application and submits it to a lender. The lender then will pull credit and communicate with the borrower to request additional documentation such as pay stubs, W-2s, tax returns, etc. A lender cannot require those documents but a borrower should understand a lender's pre-approval is only as good as the information on the application. It is recommended that a borrower provide and the lender should review all verifying documentation before submitting an offer. The mortgage process can be complicated and documentation heavy so starting early on and discussing the process with a lender will provide them with a better overall customer experience in the end.
Affordability is different for each borrower, so what a borrower regards as an affordable monthly payment and what they may get pre-approved for are usually different numbers. As such, it's very important that potential homebuyers work their monthly budget numbers to determine a payment range that they feel confident with regardless of what a bank may provide pre-approval for initially.
Generally speaking, debt-to-income levels should not exceed 36%, although with other positive factors such as high credit score, reserves in savings, large down payment, and so on, a borrower's debt to income can be approved above 40%. Fannie Mae's max debt-to-income ratio is 45%. Borrowers can compute their own debt-to-income ratio by dividing their total minimum monthly payments for credit-reported trade lines such as a mortgage, auto, student loans and revolving accounts by their gross monthly income. So if a borrower's monthly minimum debt payments total $2000 and their gross (before taxes) pay per month is $6000, their debt to income will be 33% ($2000/$6000).
He further advises, "It is essential that borrowers maintain regular communication (at least once a week) with their Realtor and mortgage loan officer. Both work very hard to provide regular communication but it is a partnership between the three, which requires working together on all sides for a positive customer experience. To the borrower, this is the most important event usually in their lives. To a loan officer, it may be one of 20-30 loans in process. So while the loan officer will work very hard to provide regular communication and status updates, it is very important that the borrower stays an engaged, active participant and communicator with their lender and Realtor as well.
There are a significant number of steps and processes that happen behind the scenes that take time so understanding those stages and timeframes is essential to a great mortgage experience and to ensure closing happens on time. Government regulations changed October of 2015 which now mandates that mortgage lenders and banks must provide borrowers the final numbers via a Closing Disclosure at least 3 business days prior to closing. This helps ensure the buyers receive and have time to understand their numbers before getting to the closing table but it also impacts closing timeframes as lenders have 3 days less now to work with in the process. So borrowers, be aware that a more realistic closing period to insure a smooth transaction is 40-45 days as opposed to 35-40 that we've seen in the past.
With these new regulations, lenders are now held more accountable for accuracy of their numbers and on fees where the borrower isn't allowed to select or shop for; they have zero tolerance from initial loan estimate to final numbers. On others where they are allowed to shop and choose the lenders vendor for the service, banks have a 10% tolerance. For all other fees where borrower can shop and then chooses a vendor not on the lenders list, these numbers can change without any limitation. These new regulations provide additional comfort to home buyers who may be nervous about the process, costs and interest rate.
Your lender will probably share with you Rule # 1 once you're in serious house-buying mode, and especially once you're under contract to buy a house: Don't use your credit or do anything out of the ordinary financially without talking to your lender to make sure it won't affect the loan process. Don't go buy a new car, new furniture or run up a $7,500 vacation on your Visa. Instead, wait until the house closes. Changing jobs is also discouraged; if it's unavoidable, make sure to alert your lender ASAP.
It is also better when the loan underwriting process is local, accessible, reasonable, and can adapt quickly because the federal regulations lenders have to abide by now are very cumbersome and time-consuming. Furthermore, funny little unexpected requirements just pop up at the last minute, so be prepared to respond to your lender quickly when they request information. Unfortunately, most of us are not carrying around $100,000 – $1,000,000 in cash so taking out a mortgage is the other option – be prepared to breath deep and be patient with the process. If you don't already have a go-to financial professional or institution, seek a reliable, trustworthy lender referral from your Realtor®.
After you've met with your lender, worked out the numbers, and have your pre-qualification letter in-hand, next comes the fun part—house shopping! During this phase, you'll want to work with a real estate agent who is familiar with the local market and can offer plenty of expertise and guidance, ensuring you ultimately make an educated decision that's in your best interest.
As it's a seller's market for the most part these days, promptly obtaining a letter of prequalification before house shopping is important and there are a few other things to consider too. Making low-ball offers and asking for closing costs is, most of the time, not the best strategy to get the result you want, which is to buy the home you love. If you love it, other people probably do too. It is competitive out there but now is still a great time to buy a home. Rates continue to stay low and relatively speaking, home prices are reasonable compared to national averages.
The most common misconception when it comes to real estate is that buyers have to pay a commission in order to be represented. This is completely false; Buyer's Agents are compensated through the proceeds of the sale. In other words, the seller typically contracts with a Listing Agent for a specific percentage, and upon closing the sale, the Listing Agent pays the Buyer's Agent a portion of the percentage contracted with the seller. As a home buyer you have a right to representation, so you might as well take advantage!
After shopping around and finding the home that's perfect for you, the buying process isn't just a simple transaction of money and then both parties call it a day. There are certain steps such as putting in an offer, the home inspection, getting all details confirmed and paperwork in line, and then closing to make it official.
There are many things that could potentially affect your decision to buy a home, and a home inspection is a critical part of full disclosure so that you can evaluate the positives along with any negatives.
Along the same lines of knowing what to expect in the future as was mentioned regarding obtaining pre-qualification in order to establish a budget, towards the end of the home buying process, you'll want to ensure that a whole house inspection is performed so that you're alerted of any potential issues and know what to expect as far as maintenance and replacement in the future. A whole home inspection includes electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems, structural components, interior and exterior finishes, roofing, grounds and landscaping. An inspection can uncover defects or issues with a home that the buyer (and many times the seller) is not aware of so that these issues can be dealt with prior to purchase. Additionally, other inspections such as termite, radon testing, mold, lead paint, and asbestos may be asked for as the need arises.
A home inspection is usually done as part of the negotiation phase during the purchase process. You'll want to schedule your home inspection as soon as possible after getting your offer accepted; usually home inspectors are in high demand and booked out several weeks. When choosing a home inspector, look for one who has years of experience and credentialing with a national association, such as International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI), American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), or National Association of Home Inspectors (NAHI). Also, look at the education and experience of the inspector; if possible, select one who is certified or a Master Inspector (meaning years of education and experience).
Remember, while a home inspection is comprehensive, it is not invasive. This means your inspector will review readily accessible areas of a home, but will not dismantle water pipes to look at the insides, video scope a sewer line, water test a furnace heat exchanger, or any other invasive, exhaustive analysis of parts of the home. Those types of inspections are specialized and far beyond what a home inspector does. The home inspector often will refer you to a specialist for further evaluation if a component is suspect. Also, a home inspection is not a guarantee that nothing will go wrong with your house; you can purchase a home warranty to help cover things that may break or go bad. These are usually for one year and can be renewed. Ask your Realtor or representative at your title company for more information on home warranties. On older homes or ones with equipment over 20 years old, they are often a very wise investment.
Components in a house have a lifespan, and your home inspector can identify the age of components and help you formulate a game plan on when to plan to remodel, replace, or upgrade components such as shingles, a water heater, or an HVAC system. This is important, especially if major systems have to be upgraded in the first few years of ownership as it helps the buyers to know what major expenses they may be facing on a particular house.
After the deal is done, it's time to move. This will also be different for each homebuyer, ranging from those who are moving to their first home to expanding families or downsizing empty-nesters, just to name a few examples of variance. Moving can be quite the undertaking, so most times its best not to go it alone and to have a strategy in place prior to moving day.
"I always advise people to really plan ahead of time and educate themselves on what type of service they will need on moving day," says Tyler Whalen, co-owner of the Two Men And A Truck Omaha franchise. "I see a lot of people wait until a week prior to the move and both the availability for the particular day and accommodating the service that works the best becomes an issue. As a general rule the more prepared you are, the easier the transition will be. It's a popular assumption that calling for general pricing is the first step, but in all actuality every move is different so we tailor every estimate to the specific needs of the client. You'll want to be prepared to provide key details, including both locations, whether you're doing the packing or you'd like us to do the packing for you, and an itemized list of items to be moved that's as accurate as possible. The list would include large items, estimated number of boxes, and any items that require special care. We carry a full line of boxes and packing supplies along with offering a complimentary delivery service of those items for any customer that has a booked move with us. We can deliver a bulk amount of boxes, and then take any extras with us after the move so that the customer only pays for the boxes that they actually use. This prevents a lot of hassle and I can assure you we have everything on-hand that you could possibly need, all you have to do is ask!
Right after the purchase of a new home, many will opt to buy new furniture, appliances, and may even get started on improvements, whether indicated by the home inspection or areas that the homeowner wants to update based on their taste and preferences. There are also the less obvious things that you'll notice once you actually live in your home; water quality is a prime example.
"Buying a new home is a huge investment alone, and then oftentimes the new owner will also be investing in new appliances on top of that," says Eric Schnakenberg of Aqua Systems. "An easy way to protect your investment is to have a water softener installed. Hard water causes mineral build-up inside the appliances, so with a water softener that issue will be eliminated, extending the life of major appliances such as the washing machine, dishwasher, refrigerator if it has a water dispenser and ice machine, and even your water heater.
A water softener system will actually provide a monetary return on investment because you'll use less cleaning products. This will not only save you money but will also decrease your family's exposure to chemicals and save you time on cleaning because you'll be doing less scrubbing!
While some homes are move-in ready, others are intended to be fixer-uppers. Either way, you'll likely want to make improvements to your property in the future. Before you start any projects, you'll want to know exactly where your property lines. In fact, you may even want to know this information before you purchase the house if it's contingent on improvements that need to be made to the property.
Buying a home is one of, if not the biggest, purchase a person will make in his or her lifetime. As such, it only makes sense to do everything possible to ensure that the decision you make on a home is a result of the proper knowledge being applied and the necessary steps being completed. There are plenty of great homes on the market in the Omaha area and we not only hope you find the perfect one for you and your family, but that the process of buying a home is something that you'll thoroughly enjoy and a memory of a life-changing experience that you'll look back on fondly. The Omaha Metro is indeed a wonderful place to call home, so best of luck to all of you home buyers out there—but of course, you won't need much luck if you have skill and experience on your side!


Yo yo folks! I'm Pierre! My mommy found me at the South LA Animal Shelter last summer! I was just a little baby back then, not even 2 pounds! I really wanted for her to take me home, so I put on a pouty face, acted really shy, and pretended to be a quiet little boy. The woman bought it! Ha! My foster mommy brought me home and then I revealed my true colors after it was too late!! I'm actually very energetic, and mischievous! My mommy calls me a "rat" sometimes because I can get up to no good. The nickname is warranted, I'll be honest. I think it's just a phase though, so everyone can just calm down.
Petunia's my sister, we're from the same litter that's why we look the same, but her tummy is a lot bigger. Word from the wise, do not comment on her tummy, it won't go over well with her. Trust me. My favorite thing to do is chase my sisters around the house when they don't want to be chased. I also enjoy a good wrestle. I may be little, but my claws are my greatest strength. My mommy loves me very much and has unfortunately discovered that I have a secret sweet, nurturing side. I'm the man of the house so I have to look after her.
I'm already in my forever home. I like it here, my mom let's me watch Netflix, steal her hair elastics, and eat one too many treats. Even though I'm not on the market, my friends at Two Way Street are pretty cool and need homes too! Check them out! Oh and you can send me care packages even though you can't have me. That would be nice.

UPSTREAM COLOR
2013, erbp, 96 min, USA, Dir: Shane Carruth
As in his striking debut PRIMER, writer-director Shane Carruth's follow-up feature uses a sci-fi premise as a jumping-off point to explore deep philosophical territory. When a thief forces a mind-controlling parasite on Kris (Amy Seimetz), she loses not just her possessions but part of her identity. As she tries to rebuild her life, she meets Jeff (Carruth), the victim of a similar crime, and the two begin a relationship. A feast for both eye and ear (it won the sound design prize at Sundance), UPSTREAM COLOR was hailed by Variety as "a stimulating and hypnotic piece of experimental filmmaking."

Compression is the art of representing data using less bytes than originally needed.
This can be achieved by only reproducing the Information theory. For example, the string "aaaaa" doesn't really contain more information than "aaa". Representations might be "5a" and "3a". As you can see, the compressed length is equal, reflecting the fact that neither string contains more information.

The act of expressing a message using as little media (i.e. as few symbols in an alphabet, usually bits) as possible. This is done by removing redundancy; the resulting message says as little as possible while retaining all of the information of the original. Information theory uses entropy to describe how much information a message contains, and thus how large it is when compressed. The opposite of compression is error-correcting coding.

Compression also refers (from a material standpoint) to loading that will tend to push the particles of the material together. This is in contrast to tension, loading that will pull particles of the material apart.
Some examples of this would be the force applied by your feet on the floor, pushing on a surface, or load on a column. Concrete tends to be very strong in compression.

This write-up will explain about compression in the context of mastering audio (mainly for music, but this sort of compression is also used in films). It's not to be confused with regular data compression (such as you might do with gzip or bzip2) or even the similar digital compression of waveforms stored on a computer (such as you might do with Ogg Vorbis or FLAC).
What compressors do
When something is too loud, you're likely to turn the volume down to compensate. A compressor is essentially a simple tool that automates this process, with a much faster reaction time than a human could have. Once a signal reaches a certain volume, the compressor attenuates it. When it's back below that volume, the compressor leaves it alone.
Threshold and ratio
The two main settings in a compressor are the threshold and the ratio. The threshold is the volume at which the compressor kicks in. When the signal is below that threshold, it is left unaffected, but when the signal is above the threshold, the compressor makes it quieter.
The ratio is how much quieter the compressor makes the signal. Specifically, the ratio is how many decibels above the threshold the signal needs to be in order for the output to be 1dB louder. For example, with a 3:1 ratio, a signal 3dB above the threshold would only end up 1dB louder after going through the compressor, and a signal 6dB above the threshold would only be 2dB louder.
Any ratio above approximately 10:1 is considered to be what's known as limiting, or a brick wall approach: the signal cannot get above the threshold at all, no matter how loud it gets.
Soft-knee versus hard-knee
Traditional compressors leave the signal completely unaffected until it reaches the threshold, then apply the exact ratio to the sound once the threshold has been reached. This tends to sound unnatural as the compressor has gone straight from one extreme (doing nothing) to the other (attenuating at the exact ratio) abruptly. While this can sound interesting in its own right, it is hardly subtle, hence the phrase hard-knee. The soft-knee approach was worked out as a smoother alternative: the compressor slightly attenuates the signal before it reaches the threshold, slowly building up until the threshold is reached and the full ratio is applied.
Attack and release
Compressors can be fast enough to ensure that even most sounds which rise in volume very quickly can be caught in time. However, there are some occasions when it's desirable to let a few quick bursts of sound sneak by unaffected. The attack setting is just for this purpose: it makes the compressor slow to respond to the waveform exceeding the threshold. As you might expect, the release setting is used to make the compressor slow at letting the signal pass through unaffected again. A fast attack setting can be useful to emphasise the percussive nature of drums, for instance, whereas a slow release setting is invaluable to make sure the compressor won't interfere with individual cycles of low frequency waveforms such as bass guitars.
There are rare occasions when the signal being monitored to see when the threshold is reached and the signal actually being attenuated by the compressor should be two different waveforms. Modern compressors sometimes have a separate input for the sidechain (the part which monitors the waveform to see if the threshold has been reached) for this reason. DJs can send their voices to the sidechain and their records into the regular input, which makes the music quieter when they talk over the top of it. A much more cunning trick is to have a very small delay between the two signals, so that a compressor can react to a peak before it reaches its main input. You could also use it to attenuate backing vocals when the lead vocal is sufficiently loud. If you use a compressor which has a separate input for the sidechain, try experimenting with it.
RMS versus peak detectors
Most compressors have RMS (root mean square, not Richard M. Stallman) level detection circuitry to work out the volume of the signal. This allows them to let loud but short peaks through, which is closest to the way the human ear perceives sustained sounds as louder than quick bursts of noise. There are times, however, when you may want to control even those quick peaks, which is why some compressors have peak level detectors. These respond to any signal peaks, even very short ones. Peak detection tends to work best with percussive sounds, whereas RMS level detection is usually the best one to go for with smoother sounds.
Full-band versus multi-band
Most compressors are full-band compressors: they affect the whole waveform at once. The main problem with this, at least when compressing complete mixes, is that low, bassey sounds can sometimes cause instruments in the midrange or treble to be dragged down when the bass instrument makes a loud noise, as the whole mix is turned down as a result.
The solution to this is multi-band compressors, which first split the signal up into several components - the bass, the midrange and the treble, for instance - and process each of these individually before putting them all back together again. In effect, they are several compressors rather than just one, independently working on different frequencies.
Full-band compressors are much simpler and easier to use - you don't have to worry about instruments half way between two bands getting mangled by two different compressors - but sometimes a multi-band compressor can come in useful. Incidently, the same technique of splitting up a signal into different parts is used by vocoders, but they do it for completely different purposes.
Imperfect analogue circuitry
Nothing in real life works like it's supposed to on paper, and compressors are no exception. There are several different electronic components that can be used to construct compressors, and each have their own little quirks. This can make real compressors sound very different to one another, even if they appear to have similar specifications. However, as can often be the case with musical instruments, a little imperfection can sometimes be more pleasing to the ear. If you're thinking of buying a vintage compressor, it can be worth listening to several different models to find out which one appeals the most to you.

"I Don't Care Anymore" is a song written, performed, and produced by English drummer Phil Collins (with co-production by Hugh Padgham). It was the second US single from Collins' second solo album, Hello, I Must Be Going! (1982). It became a moderate US hit, peaking inside the Top 40 (#39), on the Hot 100. It did not see a UK release; however, it was released as the third single in various other countries such as Germany and Australia.

This song is considered 'dark' in tone, and is comparable to Collins' earlier hit single "In the Air Tonight", as both contain powerful drum kit along with simplistic synthesizers and guitar riffs, coupled with angry lyrics directed at Collins' failed first marriage. The drums also illustrate the gated reverb recording technique that defined Collins' sound throughout the 1980s. During "I Don't Care Anymore", the drum track switches several times between "standard" studio sound and a gated reverb overlay.
Cash Box noted that with the song's "sparse synthesizer and guitar arrangements" the drumming provides most of the emotional expression.  Billboard said that "Collins combines R&B inclinations with his Genesis for a moody, brooding cry of rebellion."

The song earned Collins his first Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance in 1984, which was won by Michael Jackson for "Beat It".

Music video
In addition to Chester Thompson, touring band members Daryl Stuermer (guitar), Peter Robinson (keyboards), and Mo Foster (bass) also appear. Aside from Stuermer, the rest of the band does not appear on the actual recording and are instead miming Collins's parts.

The video is staged entirely in a dark room, with spotlights appearing over each band member as they begin to play. Foster is clearly visible in Robinson's spotlight for about a minute before he begins to play, hands in pockets, shuffling his feet occasionally, and looking more like a loiterer than a band member. When he begins to play (at the beginning of the first chorus), he plays the song's synthesised bassline on Moog Taurus bass pedals. Instead of playing them with his feet as intended by the manufacturer, he strikes them somewhat dramatically with the sides of his closed fists. He plays considerably more notes than what is actually heard, and frequently manipulates the Taurus's filter controls with one hand while striking with the other.

Live concert footage from the same year shows that Foster did, in fact, play the Taurus with his hands (whereas future touring bassist Leland Sklar played the Taurus with his feet while simultaneously playing electric bass). He did not strike the pedals with his fist, however, instead simply depressing each pedal with the flat of his hand. He did frequently manipulate the Taurus's filters to great effect, but the bassline he performed was the simplified version heard on the recording rather than the overzealous part he mimed in the video.

Hellyeah version

Heavy metal supergroup Hellyeah released a cover of I Don't Care Anymore as a single on July 27, 2016 off their Undeniable album. The cover features a lost performance by Dimebag Darrell which was unearthed by his older brother, Hellyeah drummer Vinnie Paul. According to Paul, Damageplan's cover of the song never saw the light of day and it took him three weeks to find the recordings. The lost recordings would eventually be converted with Pro Tools with the help of producer Kevin Churko. Chad Gray called recording the vocal sessions a very emotional moment while mentioning that having the band track Dimebag Darrell's riffs was one of the most magical moments in Gray's career. A music video for the rendition was released to Eleven Seven's YouTube channel a day after the single was released with the video being directed by William "Wombat Fire" Felch. In an interview with Billboard, Chad Gray stated that he hopes that Phil Collins loves the band's cover of the track.

In popular culture

The song appeared in the Miami Vice episode "No Exit." The same episode features an instrumental music score by Jan Hammer that is loosely based on the rhythm, drum track and harmonies of this song.

"I Don't Care Anymore" is featured in Grand Theft Auto V, both in the in-game radio station, Los Santos Rock Radio, as well as in the mission "Father/Son".

The Cult Movie Club: The Rachel Papers (1989)
Here's a late, almost completely forgotten contender for the pretty short 'film better than the book' list.
Writer/director (and son of Richard) Damian Harris's 'The Rachel Papers', based on Martin Amis's 1973 debut novel, crept out in May 1989 to mediocre reviews and underwhelming business.
At the time, the post-'Mission', pre-'Four Weddings' British film industry was in its latest rut, unsure of its place in the global marketplace and reeling from massive government cuts.
But somehow 'The Rachel Papers' movie remains true to Amis's irreverent, adolescent, sweary, very 'London' vision, while understandably playing down the overt racism, sexism and druggier aspects of the novel.
The plot centres around Charles Highway, a precocious, upper-middle-class tyke on the cusp of his 20th birthday. He's no virgin (the title alludes to the secret 'research files' he keeps on all his previous conquests) but is desperate to sleep with an older woman before he hits his twenties.
The lovely, intelligent, well-bred Rachel seems to fit the bill perfectly, but Charles gets a lot more than he bargains for when he pursues her. Falling in love wasn't part of the plan, etc, etc…
He also has to contend with Rachel's on/off American boyfriend DeForest. Charles does a fair bit of learning and 'growing', but with an agreeable lightness of touch. Most importantly, the movie rattles along at a good lick.
Ione Skye and Dexter Fletcher
I came across 'The Rachel Papers' completely by chance in the early '90s when I was almost exactly Charles's age, and it rang a lot of bells.
Watching it again recently, I was pleased how well it stands up whilst obviously being very much of its time. The movie lives or dies by the casting of the Charles character – lead actor Dexter Fletcher carries it off with some aplomb.
Often breaking the fourth wall and speaking directly to camera, Charles is a fusion of Ferris Bueller and Alfie, basically a cocky, rather spoilt little prick with, as it turns out, a few deep-rooted insecurities. Fletcher (the recent director of 'Eddie The Eagle') brings just the right level of ratty, insouciant charm to Charles.
In Amis's book, Rachel isn't American – the casting of Ione Skye was apparently a studio-imposed decision, but it doesn't upset the balance of the film at all. She does a great job in an underwritten role.
She's a fresh, natural, uplifting presence, carrying on from where she left off in the classic 'Say Anything'. James Spader delivers a typically superb performance as DeForest, mining the same smarmy, condescending schtick he so memorably employed in 'Pretty In Pink'.
Skye, Spader, Fletcher
The film is also chock-a-block with other memorable character turns – Jonathan Pryce, Michael Gambon, Lesley Sharp, Aubrey Morris, Gina McKee and Claire Skinner do some great work, particularly Gambon as an amusingly-off-hand university interviewer. Ian Dury's right-hand-man Chaz Jankel does a decent job with the soundtrack on top of some choice contributions from Shakespears Sister and John Martyn.
Jonathan Pryce in 'Rachel'
In the final analysis, 'The Rachel Papers' is the only Brit romcom I've seen that approaches something like 'The Sure Thing'.
It's irreverent and unpretentious but certainly not dumb, a fairly accurate portrait of late-'80s London, bringing an appealing cheerfulness to the city without resorting to picture-postcard clichés (there's not a shot of Big Ben or Trafalgar Square in sight). The sexual politics and shenanigans are also refreshingly upfront.
It's surely due a remake – the recent 'Don John' seems to touch on similar areas but looks like somewhat of a disaster area if the trailer is anything to go by. Don't judge 'The Rachel Papers' by the trailer either, though, by the way…

polybore: AVI file sound out of sync with video solution.
AVI file sound out of sync with video solution.
I can happily say that this method using virtualdubmod to sync sound with video in an AVI file works a treat. This problem had been driving my wife and I mad for months, we were constantly starting and stopping videos to try and get them back into sync. We tried all our video software, VLC, windows media player and powerdvd but always the film would end up like a badly dubbed foreign language movie.
2. Go to File, then 'File Information'. In the video details, look at the length. Compare that to the length in the audio details.
3. Take the difference and multiply by 10 (because we need to know how many miliseconds (thousandths of a second) not the hundredth of a second shown here).
6. Got to 'Streams' and them 'Stream list'. There should only be one stream listed there, as 'AVI audio stream 1'. Right click on that stream an ensure 'Direct Stream Copy' is selected.
8. In the box labeled 'Delay audio track by', enter the number you worked out before (difference between the 2 lengths, multiply by 10).
10. Go to 'File' and 'Save As'. give it a file name (don't overwrite the other file, just in case). Click save.

You recently answered a question on Y. Answers and it worked! Thanks for that, but now I seem to have a new problem and I am unsure what the cause is, or maybe it's been there all along.
I successfully "synced" my audio/video at the start, but I noticed after watching the rest of it, the audio was then once again ahead of the video. This clip is only a minute long, and am doing trial runs and fix-ups in order to maintain the other recording of lengths 5-10 minutes.
Would my remaining problem have to do with my capture card, frames dropping, or would you have yet another helpful tip?
I use a http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/products/data_pvrusb2.html to record TV to my HTPC http://polybore.blogspot.com/2008/05/home-entertainmentorium.html(which is far lower spec than your PC) and I dont have any video sync problems. I've never used it to record off of a console but if it can do TV ok then a console should not be a problem.
The only thing I can think to try is to use different software to record e.g. windows movie maker providing it detects your capture device.
It lets you make crystal clear screen recordings and hosts them for nowt. Uses Java.
Wow. Excellent. Thanks for that Beech.
1. use virtualdub to save the audio and video separately.
2. use 'super' to convert the audio from mp3 to wav.
4. use 'super' to convert the wav back to mp3.
5. use "AVI-Mux" to put the video back together!
Nice fix rerintoul, thanks for that.
I feel compelled to add one last thing (I spent so long on this!). I was ultimately trying for divx so this would play in my dvd player. Step 5. put the file back together but it wasn't a valid divx file. Step 6. was to run the file back through 'super' using video stream copy and recode the audio to produce a valid divx. At least that part was very fast.
Hi Fernando, looks like VirtualDubMode is different from Virtual Dub.
On it's download site it says: 'VirtualDubMod is based on the famous video editing software VirtualDub by Avery Lee'.
Get VirtualDubMode and try these steps... I'm still going to try them. Thanks in advance guys.
rerintoul: VirtualDub can decompress and recompress audio on the fly if you choose full processing and select compression in the Audio menu. No need to use all those other tools.
my ~.ts is with errors, while I play - everything is fine, but after recompress to ~.AVI sound start to delay..
1. Open/Play the video file with VLC Media Player. (Right click your video file/highlight Open With/Click VLC media player.
2. Use the J and K keys (J = negative and K = positive) on the keyboard to adjust the audio sync during playback (the values are displayed on screen)to figure out the exact value that is in sync with the video to type into VirtualDub.
3. Remember/Write the exact value that is in sync with the video.
4. Open the video file with VirtualDub. (Open VirtualDub/click File/click Open video file/click your video file/click Open).
6. Click Audio/(Direct stream copy should already be selected)if not, click Direct stream copy.
7. Click Audio/click Interleaving/Under Audio skew correction, type in the exact value as discovered using VLC Media Player/click OK.
8. Save your video file. Click File/click Save as AVI/Click a location to save your video file to/click save.
Using the method above has worked perfectly for me.
1. Under File Information, the length of the video was 1:15:57.45 and the length of the audio was 1:15:57.48. The audio was playing too early. So the value selected must be positive.
2. When subtracting 1:15:57.45 from 1:15:57.48 you get 3. Multiplying 3 by 10 gives you 30.
3. When inserting the value as positive 30 under Audio skew correction and saving the file, the length of the video and the length of the audio are now the same: 1:15:57.45, however the audio is still out of sync with the video.
4. If I take the difference, which is 3, and multiply it by 100, it gives me 300.
5. Now when inserting the value as positive 300 under Audio skew correction and saving the file, the length of the video and the length of the audio are also the same: 1:15:57.45, but the audio and video are now in sync.
Math is definitely not my strong suit, so I must ask, why must I multiply the difference by 100 instead of 10 as you suggested to get the correct value that is in sync with the video?
To add, when using VLC Media Player to find out the correct value, the value displayed on the screen when using the J and K keys to adjust to proper audio and video sync was also positive 300.

Funny thing how an Irish event can bring out a large mixed crowd in a city famously Italian and still succeed.
This is exactly what happened at the 64th Everett celebration known as the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick Annual Dinner held at the Connolly Center on Chelsea Street Thursday evening.
It was a night for friends to gather together for a few drinks and the traditional corned beef and cabbage dish in a room awash in a sea of green clothing.
It was also a night when Bill Perkins, Bill and Brenda Marchant, Frances X. Hogan and Eugene O'Brien were all honored by the Friendly Sons for their extraordinary commitment to Everett and for the great things they have done over the years to make the city a better place.

SEC boss worries crypto bill undermines financial protections
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler said he's worried that a proposed bill to create a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies could weaken investor protections in the traditional financial market.
Speaking at The Wall Street Journal's CFO Network Summit on June 14 Gensler was asked his thoughts regarding a recent bill introduced on June 7 by Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY).
He responded saying "we don't want to undermine the protections we have in a $100 trillion capital market," adding:
"We don't want our current stock exchanges, mutual funds, or public companies to, sort of inadvertently by a stroke of a pen, say 'you know what, I want to be non-compliant as well, I want to be outside of this regime that I think has been quite a benefit to investors and economic growth over the last 90 years.'"
The bipartisan Lummis-Gillibrand "Responsible Financial Innovation Act" aims to address many facets of crypto regulation such as tax treatment of digital assets, stablecoins, and agency jurisdiction.
One provision of the bill gives "clear authority" to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) over digital asset spot markets, Gensler has long been adamant in declaring most cryptocurrencies are securities, subject to the SEC's authority.
The Senators have mostly agreed with Gensler's point, saying some altcoins would likely be considered securities under the proposed law, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) considered commodities.
At the summit, Gensler said the SEC wasn't looking to extend its jurisdiction and that some cryptocurrencies are already under the jurisdiction of the agency since they qualify as being a security.
"We're just looking out for the retail public […] these tokens are being offered to the public, and the public is hoping for a better future. That's the characteristics of an investment contract."
Meanwhile CFTC commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero — who says she hasn't yet read the Lummis-Gillibrand bill — welcomed regulatory action by Congress when speaking at an event on June 14.

Romero, also a former senior counsel in the SEC's enforcement division, was asked if the view that the CFTC was a more laissez-faire regulator in comparison to the SEC was accurate.
"No, not at all […] they're actually pretty similar," she said, adding that the CFTC has brought multiple enforcement actions in the crypto space and each agency cares about having "rigorous oversight of markets."
Explaining the differences she's witnessed, Romero said the CFTC has allowed more cryptocurrency products to trade on its regulated exchanges with 18 products trading across 11 regulated entities:
"What that means is that the CFTC is pretty experienced and how to regulate trading in this market, and that's really, really helpful as we move forward. It's still going to take cooperation and coordination with the SEC, I'm 100% committed to that, that's my former home."

It is easy to be intimidated by people who pray eloquently, or long-winded, especially devout prayers in public meetings.
God doesn't necessarily want us to pray that way. If anything, we could make a good assumption that God wants other than that:the Lord's prayer seems to indicate that we don't need to use great words.
God doesn't mark the theological content.
Emilie Griffin says "to pray is to be willing to be naive".
If you visit house where there are young children and see some of the most second-rate art work hanging all over fridges. Just as there is no way that a child can offer a bad picture, no child of God can offer a bad prayer.
To pray simply is to bring ourselves before God just as we are, warts and all.
God, my words may not be great, my speech not eloquent, my thoughts half formed, my life still in need of transformation... hear the prayer I offer, and read the heart which cries out. Help me to be myself in prayer, and in the way I live each day, that my relationship with you and others might be authentic.
