The Voodoo is back and is looking more evil than ever. Is it just us, or does the Voodoo just keep getting better and better every year? DeMarini Youth Big Barrel Bats never cease to bring a cool look with some amazing innovation into every bat they produce. While each of DeMarini's technologies are remarkable in their own way, what really makes them innovative is how they bring them together in production. Because every hitter is different, there's no one bat that's right for everyone. Balanced or end-loaded, composite or metal, one-piece or two-piece, when DeMarini utilizes the best attributes from each of their extraordinary technologies, they create a bat that gives each hitter an advantage unique to their swing.
The 2013 Voodoo Big Barrel Baseball Bat uses DeMarini's X10 Alloy, straight from the hottest fires which forges the strongest metals! With the new Senior Youth Voodoo it is time to turn up the heat and light up the scoreboard. X10 Alloy, was designed with a proprietary blend of alloy agents creating an aluminum with the most optimal strength possible. This unique formation of aluminum allows DeMarini to fine-tune the thickness of the barrel walls for the ultimate sweet spot. DeMarini's X10 Alloy is so strong, it allows them to adhere to BBCOR or any other standard while still making the thinnest, lightest, and strongest bats possible with the sweet spot that you're always craving.
The DeMarini Voodoo Senior Youth Baseball Bat is wicked and sinister with a deathly stare… this bat will haunt the other team's nightmares. DeMarini conjured up one of the highest performing aluminum bats on the market with the Voodoo, and this bat feels like you've harnessed the power of a thousand black suns to sacrifice the soul of the fastball.
Pros: 34/29 minus 5?!?! I saw this and had to order one!! Can't wait to use it in Santa Ana!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pros: Dude this bat here is the bomb! my whole team has the bat from cheapbats and every one loves this bat. my friend used to have a cf5 but that died in about a year. he then got a 2013 voodoo at selling day and is still good and has amazing pop. really nice bat. i would recommend this bat to anyone in the need of a big barrell! keep it up demarini and keep it up cheap bats for great deals!

Mission: Suceava Faculty of Forestry is committed to offer sound training program for forest engineers, keeping up the scientific and cultural values of traditional forestry in the vision of continuous search for improved knowledge.
The Faculty of Forestry provides 4-years BSc degree in "Forestry", 3-years BSc degree in "Ecology and Environmental Protection", 2-years MSc degree and also PhD programmes.
Undergraduate studies cover the field of Forestry in two types of educational programmes: full time learning (4 years) and long distance learning (4 years). The students are trained to become forest engineers with complex qualifications in land measurement and remote sensing, forest ecosystem management (e.g. dendrology, ecology, silviculture, entomology, game management etc.), wood harvesting technologies, and primary timber processing, ecological restoration and watershed management, as well as in forest economy and legislation. The two master programmes run by the faculty focus on "Biodiversity Conservation and Ecosystem management" and on "Management of Forestry Activities". The emphasis of the first one is on forest conservation, while the latter is focused on providing appropriate management knowledge and skills necessary in forest harvesting and wood processing. Master degree students were involved up to now in three Erasmus projects regarding the innovation in forest sector.
Potential employers are the forest districts, public or private, research institutions, private companies of wood harvesting and processing, forest management planning companies, local public administrations, firms specialized in geomatics and so on. The curriculum is updated whenever needed in order to be on line with the new trends in forestry and forest-based sector. The Faculty also provides opportunities for those interested in acquiring a PhD degree in forestry. In 2009 a new BSc specialization started, focused on "Ecology and Environmental Protection" to train specialists ready to answer to the new challenges of national environmental-related policies.
History: The University of Suceava was created in 1990 as a follower of the first high schools issued in the historical Moldavia, such as Putna Academy, the Theological Institute and the Academy of Cernauti. The history of this institution started in 1963 when the three-year Pedagogical Institute was established. The present University was reshaped on the former Institute of Suceava by the Governmental Decision 225/07.03.1990. The Faculty of Forestry appeared in 1990 to continue the forestry academic tradition initiated in the northern part of the country more than a century ago. Here, the high-level forestry school was created in Fr t ui (Suceava) in 1883. The reorganization of the forestry educational system led to establishing the Institute for Silviculture, Harvesting, Timber Processing and Transportation in 1948 in Câmpulung Moldovenesc, Bucovina. In 1956 the entire high-level education in forestry was centralized in Brasov.
The changes in the political realm related to forestry after 1990, the forest resource endowment of Suceava county, the economic importance of timber industries in this region and the historical tradition in forestry education in Bucovina have been preconditions in supporting the initiative of re-establishing the former Faculty of Forestry, created in Câmpulung Moldovenesc half a century ago. The Faculty of Forestry and the University of Suceava were created at the same time. The governmental acts issued after the Governmental Decision 225/07.03.1990 have confirmed that the Faculty of Forestry is accredited for long term training of engineers in forestry.

Masterpieces of French Faience
Selections from the Sidney R. Knafel Collection
Charlotte Vignon Sidney R. Knafel
Masterpieces of French Faience quantity
178 x 203 mm (8 x 7 in)
88 colour
In association with The Frick Collection, New York
An impressive and engaging variety of fabulous objects from the most important faience centres, dating from the late sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth century.
"A great introduction to the world of French faience"—Tim Forrest
A feat of great technical achievement, French faience was introduced to Lyon in the second half of the sixteenth century by skilled Italian immigrants—the French word "faience" deriving from the northern Italian city of Faenza. Over the next two centuries, production spread throughout the provinces of metropolitan France. The fine decoration of French faience draws inspiration from multiple sources—Italian maiolica, Asian porcelain, and even contemporary engravings. The forms of its platters, bowls, plates, and ewers derive mostly from European ceramics and silver. This complex interplay of influences comes together in works of great originality.
The Knafel Collection of French faience, the finest in private hands, includes outstanding examples of Nevers, Rouen, Moustiers, Moulins, and Marseilles production from the late sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth century. The quality of these masterpieces almost obscures the fact that French faience was essentially a provincial art, largely patronized and commissioned by a local aristocracy and made far from the centres of political power in Versailles and Paris.
In this stunning new volume, Charlotte Vignon traces the history of French faience, offering detailed discussions of key centres of production. Illustrated with more than seventy examples, this valuable resource testifies to the creativity and beauty of an engagingly innovative tradition.
Charlotte Vignon is curator of Decorative Arts at The Frick Collection and a visiting associate professor at the Bard Graduate Center, New York.
Sidney R. Knafel, a trustee of The Frick Collection, is a philanthropist and highly respected collector of french faience.

Smart Move
San Diego acts fast to keep the lights on at Illumina.
The San Diego area is home to some 1,500 employees of Illumina, which is the city's 12th largest sales/use taxpayer.

Illumina, a developer and manufacturer of instruments used to sequence human genomes, was recently named "World's Smartest Company" by the MIT Technology Review, ahead of fellow California innovators Tesla Motors and Google, among others. Losing the company to another jurisdiction would be … well … not so smart.
On Tuesday this week, San Diego Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer joined Illumina Inc. CEO Jay Flatley to announce an agreement that will keep the medical device company and its approximately 300 "middle-class manufacturing" jobs in San Diego. The City will provide a tax rebate in exchange for Illumina retaining the manufacturing jobs in San Diego, pending a city council vote scheduled for next week to ratify the agreement.
"We're excited to continue to grow a state-of-the-art campus that will not only contribute to Illumina's success, but also contribute to the growth of San Diego's life sciences community, to the advancement of genetic research, and ultimately to help people around the globe realize the benefits of personalized medicine," said Jay Flatley, Illumina's CEO.
Illumina, founded in San Diego in 1998, has over 1,500 employees within San Diego and is the city's most highly valued biotech company, with its world headquarters, product development, sales, shipping, receiving and manufacturing all based in San Diego. The company is the City's 12th largest sales/use taxpayer — approximately $1.3 million annually in the most recent year. Illumina's other primary manufacturing locations include Hayward, Calif., and an off-shore location in Singapore. The company leases 6 buildings in San Diego totaling over 560,000 sq. ft. (52,024 sq. m.).
Illumina CEO Jay Flatley
Illumina also recently entered into a 10-year, 97,700-sq.-ft. (9,076-sq.-m.) lease agreement with Alexandria Real Estate Equities in San Francisco's popular Mission Bay district. That's where the company in February announced the launch of the Illumina Accelerator Program, the world's first business accelerator focused solely on creating an innovation ecosystem for the genomics industry. Its goal is to speed the time to market and lower the barriers to entry for entrepreneurs, start-ups and early stage companies working on scientifically and commercially promising next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications.
Through the accelerator's six-month program, Illumina will provide invited participants with technology and business guidance and $100,000 in support, including access to sequencing systems and reagents, as well as fully operational lab space in close proximity to the company's planned R&D facilities in San Francisco's Mission Bay. Initial partners include prominent technology investor Yuri Milner, who will offer each participating company $100,000 in exchange for convertible notes, and Silicon Valley Bank, which intends to provide banking services and credit to each participating company.
Hammered Out
Earlier this year, San Diego realized it needed its own innovation ecosystem, and needed it fast — something like a 3-D printing lab for policy.
Just as Faulconer was taking office this spring, Illumina was considering a variety of options to expand its manufacturing operations, including locations outside the city and state. Almis Udrys, director of performance and analytics for Mayor Faulconer's office, says the team at San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp. gave the mayor's office the heads up.
"As soon as we got that call," says Udrys, "the mayor said, 'I have to get out there and meet these people.' We effectively dropped everything and went to talk to them."
For the next three months Udrys was the point man in drawing up an incentives agreement primarily focused on retaining manufacturing jobs in the city. Manufacturing is one of four base-sector economic engines in San Diego, along with defense, tourism and international trade and logistics. The San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation worked with the city to verify that Illumina was evaluating manufacturing leases in San Diego, Poway and Memphis, Tenn.
"We haven't engaged in this type of agreement for many years," says Udrys, "so this was a newer animal to develop. I'm pretty proud of how quickly we were able to do it. If we had more experience, we might have been able to go even faster. I hope this is a model we can replicate in the future with others."
Among the terms of the 10-year Economic Development Incentive Agreement, Illumina is eligible to apply increased sales and use tax revenue it generates over the course of the agreement toward a $1.5 million tax rebate from the City, which it would receive after the City verifies the new revenue. The City will retain 30 percent of Illumina's sales tax revenues in addition to the current level of sales and use tax generated by Illumina. After the $1.5-million tax rebate cap has been reached or the term of the 10-year agreement ends, the City will return to receiving 100 percent of Illumina's tax revenue.
In exchange, Illumina will retain all of its existing manufacturing jobs and sales force within San Diego, at any site of its choice, during the 10-year term of the agreement.
"This is a perfect example of how San Diego can support middle-class jobs while also encouraging economic growth," said Mayor Faulconer. "This agreement keeps hundreds of high-wage jobs in San Diego, ensures city residents benefit from over a million dollars in annual sales tax revenue, and strengthens our region's leadership in biotechnology."
'Lifeblood'
"Not only do we have a Mayor that values economic development and job creation," said Mark Cafferty, president and CEO of San Diego Regional EDC, "but we also have a cutting-edge company showing how much they value San Diego's dynamic workforce, manufacturing expertise and research capabilities."
"Illumina's announcement that they are expanding in San Diego demonstrates the ability of California cities to develop creative solutions and encourage manufacturing investment," said Kish Rajan, director of the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz).

The timing couldn't be better, coming off the city's universally praised hosting of the huge BIO Convention in June. Rajan calls the momentum since the event "fabulous," and was especially impressed by the level of international interest in his state, including specific inquiries from delegations hailing from Australia and Northern Ireland. He also noted repeated inquiries about linking to the state's renowned higher education system.
"I get that a lot, not just at the BIO conference," he says. "The interest in connecting at the academic and R&D level is very high."
California's interest in developing incentives at the state level has heretofore been very low. But it does have its California Competes tax credit program, as well as a new exemption, effective July 1, from the state's 4.19-percent sales tax for all biotech R&D equipment purchases. Rajan says the new application window for a total of $150 million in available business tax credits has not yet been officially opened.
"Once we open up the new application window for this new fiscal year, of course they would be eligible to apply," he says. "We certainly had those discussions with them, so they were aware of that program and other state programs they could potentially avail themselves of." Rajan says while no specific program or commitment came from the state in this instance, he thinks the greater awareness of the range of state programs that do exist, combined with what the city put together, "helped change the equation."
While state incentives were certainly a part of the picture, Udrys says "it's been a difficult slog in San Diego and generally in California" when it comes to economic development, because of the regulatory and cost challenges many companies face.
"We quickly realized the city has to take matters into its own hands and do something above and beyond what's available at the state level," says Udrys. "We wanted to give them reasons to stay in San Diego versus any other place in the state, nation or world."
Udrys says the decision hinged on that incentives agreement and the good-faith effort demonstrated by the city's team. "Admittedly, $1.5 million over a potentially 10-year term is not like you're selling the farm. But it is a significant indication, particularly given that we haven't done something like this for quite a while.
"Before the mayor stepped in," says Udrys, "they weren't certain how much the city was interested in their presence. The government does a lot of stuff, so sometimes you forget about the people propping you up and keeping you going. These businesses are our lifeblood."

Can messages from God be found at a car wash? You know signs of his presence? An "atta boy", a wink, a nod, an "I got this for you" an "I'm rooting for you?" You bet! In the seemingly mundane, wet, messy, lint-filled depths of a do-it-yourself car wash in Winter Park, Florida, God prevails. You'll find God in vacuum hoses, trash cans, curbs and folks looking to get bird poop off their vehicles. And, boy does God delight in showing up in all kinds of funny situations.
The Word of God is so amazing. If you need counsel, encouragement or you just want to know you are loved; the Bible is God's message of love to all who believe. I personally have been on a serious journey, digging and devouring the Word of God for the past 13 years.
I pray that as you read and study this book that God will soften your heart and open your mind to receive what He has revealed to me. I don't claim to be a bible scholar, but I love the word of God. My hope and prayer is that you too will discover how much he loves you and how much he wants you to seek him every day for everything. Let's go on this journey together and discover what God has to say to us in the bible from the beginning to the end – Genesis to Revelation, one 3:16 verse at a time.

Activists stage call to action at San Antonio Police Department
Isaac Serna Editor-in-chief (Fall 2017 - Spring 2018) web@paisano-online.com @Isaacrserna
Laura Thompson, state representative of District 120, speaks about police accountability to those gathered. Isaac Serna, The Paisano
"I called this press conference in order to address the behavior displayed by the San Antonio Police Department," said Artessia House, a local attorney with Tess House Law. House was speaking to San Antonio community leaders gathered at the San Antonio Police Department located downtown. They were there to demand accountability after a video was posted of twenty-three SAPD officers publicly supporting Republican presidential candidate, Donald J. Trump.
After his Oct. 11 fundraising visit to San Antonio, Trump posted video of on-duty SAPD officers wearing "Make America Great Again" hats on his Twitter account. The video was shared 12.6 thousand times and has 31.3 thousand likes, gaining national attention.
Trump is endorsed by the National Fraternal Order of Police, the country's largest law enforcement union which represents 330,000 members. He calls himself the "law and order" candidate.
A call to action and press conference was coordinated by House, and the event was advertised via Facebook by Johnathan-David Jones, UTSA alumnus, who also participated in last week's silent protest that took place in the Sombrilla.
"We just want to make sure that the SAPD doesn't try to sweep this under the rug," said Jones.
"I don't think the SAPD should wear those Trump caps in uniform, while representing San Antonio," said Ezra Abuabara, an undeclared UTSA freshman, "because not all of San Antonio is for Trump."
Drake Brown, senior political science major stated, "I believe in freedom of speech, but, if there are policies under the department, they should be followed. The problem I have with the situation is the double standard."
Brown said, "The chief has already taken pictures in political garb and has been involved in political events while in uniform. I also believe that had these officers worn an Obama 'change' shirt during an encounter while President Obama was running for office, there would have not been a big uproar about officers wearing political garb."
Section. 2-50 of San Antonio's Code of Ordinances limits city officials and employees' political activity. Subsection 1 on "Influencing Subordinates" states "a City official or employee shall not, directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce any city subordinate of the official or employee."
Specifically, Section 1.a states that public employees cannot "participate in an election campaign, contribute to a candidate or political committee or engage in any other political activity relating to a particular party, candidate or issue."
"When you're representing a public safety organization, it's completely different from an individual who's representing or supporting a candidate," Jones added. "I don't know a single one of those officers' names, which is a testament to how I don't see them as individuals; I see them as an organization, so what that looks like is the SAPD supports Donald."
For House, the officers' overt support of Trump is a symptom of deeper issues with police in the city.
"Honestly, based on the past behaviors of the police department, there's not much faith we can put into the accountability measures the city puts to the local police agency," House said to the press. "That's why we're gathered here, wanting the Department of Justice to open an investigation."
"The police are definitely making a statement," Niaga Cole, a graduate student in higher education leadership administration said. "I'd say it's almost unreal, like a joke, but that can bring turmoil between the SAPD and the community, especially with Black Lives Matter going on. Different cultures are kind of afraid of SAPD and police in general."
"My thing isn't about them supporting Trump (but) more about how they broke policy," Cole continued. "Their action is a wake-up call to our police department going against the rules. They just don't care; they do what they want, and they're the people who are supposed to protect us."
A rally followed the press conference, and the floor was open to anyone who wanted to share their thoughts and reactions. Among the attendees was Christopher Herring, a City of San Antonio, Texas Mayoral Appointee to the Small Business Advocacy Committee.
Herring asked constituents to write their councilperson to make sure that "they ask the police chief exactly who were the officers disciplined and then also ask for a review of the officer's record, so the community can fully understand what kind of police we have in our communities."
In order to keep police accountable, "they have to know that the community is aware of what their record stands for," Herring explained.
"If we never ask for the record, then they can police how they choose to police and never have accountability to you or me."
Janet Oyeteju, a third-year St. Mary's Law student, UTSA alumna and "volunteer of the year," was at the Call to Action press conference to support House's message. Oyeteju met House through the Black Law Student Association, a St. Mary's Law school organization.
Oyeteju encouraged students to get involved in different school organizations that have an agenda, support something and then focus on the communities you live in.
House reminded San Antonians that their voices can implement change.
"We have elections right around the corner. The best way to get involved is to find out about the candidates that are going to be representing you here."
House also highlighted the link between who's on city council and treatment of police. "When it comes to the San Antonio Police Officer Association, they endorse candidates, the question is, who are they endorsing? And the question to those endorsed candidates: what are they willing to risk and what is at stake, when it comes to their allegiance to the San Antonio Police Officers Association. It's extremely political, but it's not that hard to find out," she said. Judicial and local elections will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 8.
Jones is working on these issues as a member of the city's Police Community Relations Committee.
"We raise conversations where we can be consistent and rigorous when it comes to cases like this if we don't see a response from the city," he said when explaining his role on the committee.
Police Chief William McManus has since announced that six supervisors will be issued a written reprimand, and 17 officers will be provided written counseling. In addition, as part of the corrective action, the officers involved will also receive training this month that will focus on "the importance of impartiality and fairness in performance of official duties."

Project Description: Affordable housing is an ever-present need. Earthen construction techniques such as compressed earth block (CEB) technology are being used to mitigate affordable housing shortages. Combined with the lack of attention given by current building codes, CEB technology is in dire need of a methodological testing procedure intended to attest for the quality and integrity of the loose soils and consequent manufactured CEBs. The Mortenson Center student researchers tested soil combinations to determine optimal component mixtures for structural CEBs to be used in houses at the Crow Reservation in Montana.

The Ibanez NU TUBESCREAMER is the very first compact guitar electronics_effects pedals to incorporate a Nutube directly into its circuitry. This pairing of Ibanez's Tube Screamer with KORG's Nutube technology, has produced an overdrive with exceptional dynamics, improved sensitivity, and natural tube compression.
Nutube is a revolutionary vacuum tube developed by KORG Inc. and Noritake Itron Corp. Mr. Fumio Mieda, developer of many early well-known KORG products including the MS-20 and more, came up with an idea to use the VFD technology to develop an innovative vacuum tube. He then approached Noritake Itron Corp. who are considered the pioneers of VFD technology, to co-develop the tube with KORG. Together, they built hundreds of samples and eventually perfected Nutube, which optimally works as a preamp tube for audio signal amplification.
Because Nutube is utilizing the VFD technology, it has an extremely low power consumption, which is about 2% of a 12AX7. As a result, it works at very low voltages and has a life span exceeding 30,000 hours.

Ed Sheeran Lookalike Strikes Again: Doppelganger Hands Out Vegan Nuggets
The Ed Sheeran lookalike, Ty Jones, strikes again. This time he's handing out vegan nuggets to unsuspecting Londoners.
Celebrity doppelgangers have been flexing their superstar affiliated looks since the rise of popular culture. While many take their talents to major metropolitan cities as street performers, 's lookalike, Ty Jones, has made quite the career out of looking like the "Beautiful People" singer/songwriter.
On Jan. 12, Jones was spotted in the BOXPARK shopping center in the London borough of Shoreditch handing out plant-based 'chicken' nuggets to locals out of a food truck owned by a company called, THIS. In the past, THIS had teased that a celebrity would be joining them to hand out vegan nuggets to customers and to the public's surprise, they were greeted by none other than himself. Or at least that's what they thought.
After hoards of unsuspecting fans approached the truck to get their fill of vegan nuggets and take flicks with Sheeran, some attendees became weary on whether if the food truck's special guest really was Sheeran. Later, TMZ confirmed that THIS hired lookalike Ty Jones and even a bodyguard to hand out their new plant-based menu item.
This isn't the first time that Jones has been hired to confuse the masses. In Nov. 2019, Jones was hired by Joshua Pieters to attend the KSI vs Logan Paul 2 boxing match in Los Angeles. With Ed Sheeran recently stating that , Ty Jones has a lot of personal maintenance he has to sustain in order to keep his looks up with Sheeran's. Check out the clip of actor and impersonator Ty Jones tricking Londoners in the video provided below.

How Much Do DJs Really Make?
globaldjsguide 0	Oct 3, 2020	236
Music is the life of any kind of festivity, and people who are preparing to host an event, such as a party or a wedding for example, often wonder 'How much is a DJ' in terms of cost. Disk jockeys are popular due to their flexibility and the ability to play songs on-demand in an instant, but they're also bringing their own gear most of the time, which cuts back on costs for loud amps and speakers.
Today we are going to talk about some of the most important things about how much DJs make so regardless of whether you're a DJ-in-the-making or someone who intends to hire one, you will find some valuable info if you stick around. Without any further ado, let's get straight to it.
How Much Do DJs Make?
The answer to the question 'How much does a DJ cost' depends on various factors – different countries have different standards; there are beginners and professionals, DJs that bring their own gear and those who don't, and so on.
Additionally, there are different types of DJs, including event/session DJs, Radio DJs, Wedding DJs, Club DJs, Party DJs, and Mobile DJs. All of these factors are to be considered before we can actually pinpoint an estimate of how much money a disc jockey typically earns.
Local DJs
Beginner DJs are typically locals who are yet to emerge on the big scene. They are typically doing every gig they can and usually don't make too much cash per event. Luck is the most unpredictable factor as one beginner DJ can make a small fortune doing a bunch of small-time gigs while other DJs of the same skill level and exposure could struggle for weeks without a single session.
Speaking of which, most local DJs play gigs for free simply to get extra exposure and recognition. Beginner DJs seldom play high-profile events that typically take place during weekends, which means that they are often stuck with free drinks and a couple of coupons at best.
On the upside, local DJs don't have any traveling expenses and management cuts, plus their profit is generally 'clean'.
An average week-day gig is typically paid $10 – $100, depending on the country while weekends are normally paid up to twice as much; if we take the fact that most of these gigs are completely free, this is still nothing more than pocket money.
Beginners are normally first on the list for school parties where budgets are low and for house parties when no other option is available. You could try negotiating some sort of a deal, but oftentimes that will not exactly be possible.
Experienced DJs
DJs that have been on the scene for several years and people who have been honing their skills while refining their collection of gear are more sought after for high-profile gigs. Experienced DJs are typically called for club parties and weddings.
The amount of cash skilled and experienced DJs make per gig is drastically bigger in comparison to local, inexperienced jockeys; the least paid gigs typically range from $200 to $500 while bigger events could net up to $2,000 if they bring their own gear.
However, there is quite a bit of factor that play a certain role here too. Experienced disc jockeys generally need to keep their playlist updated; they need to reinforce their gear to keep up with the times, and they commonly do at least some of the basic mixing and production chores.
There are other expenses too; semi-pro disc jockeys usually have a manager that takes up at least 10%-20% of the total gig price. On a bit more positive note, this takes care of the exposure bit, which means that you won't need to struggle so much finding relevant gigs.
The mediocre production work that has been done usually requires a bit of financial investment, whether it's finding a producer or a mixer. If you're capable of doing it on your own, you'll need adequate software, which obviously costs quite a bit of cash. One of the most popular DJ programs is Serato, which doesn't cost a fortune, but it's not exactly free to use either.
In a nutshell, experienced DJs have more opportunities, but they also have drastically bigger expenses. You can try 'playing it smart' by accepting only lucrative gigs, but that might end up netting you no exposure at all.
Professional DJs
Professionals rely on DJing as their main source of income. High-profile gigs and festivals are the places that pros typically perform, and obviously, there's quite a bit of cash involved in the play. Some DJs that fit into this category tour the world while others stick with stadiums, mostly during weekends.
However, professionals have higher expenses than beginners and intermediate-level DJs; touring requires quite a bit of cash, getting a decent tour manager, promoter, and all of the crew members on board is also pretty draining for the wallet.
Gas money, plane tickets, and visas – these are all the expenses you simply can't avoid, and these are typically measured in thousands of dollars. Luckily, professional DJs are able to cover the costs of logistics with a couple of shows.
Top-Tier World-class DJs
World Famous DJ Carl Cox
Names like Boris Brejcha, Carl Cox, Calvin Harris, and David Guetta are the pillars of the DJ world, and this is there the top-tier disc jockeys reside. It's safe to say that they are making millions annually, but they also have to pay hundreds of people in their crew, from bus drivers, over stylists, technicians, and such.
Top-tier DJs play only the most sought-after gigs in stadiums, arenas, and festivals, and even the smallest venues will still offer them at least $10,000 for a simple appearance. Additionally, one-offs, sponsorships, and record sales also factor in the amount of money they are making, so an average 'superstar' annually makes from $1 – $20 million.

Types of DJs:
There are several types of DJs that we've mainly categorized by their modus operandi:
The term 'radio DJ' is broadened these days; it involves DJs who either have their own podcasts or lend their mixtapes to other podcasts, streams, and such. Making it to an actual radio station is exceptionally hard, especially in bigger cities, although you could make quite a bit of buck this way.
Being a wedding DJ is very lucrative, although you'll need quite a bit of exposure in order to keep yourself relevant. Weddings are typically one-offs, so you can't really capture any kind of stable following this way. However, if you're doing a good job, you're more likely to get recommended.
A standard fee for a wedding spans around $1,000 to $2,000, although this is typically doubled when all the tips are accounted for.
Club DJs
Clubs are generally more inclined to hire a DJ rather than a band of musicians, mainly because they can pay you twice as a standalone performer in comparison to three or four-piece bands that end up splitting the bill.
However, clubs vary in size, and the main factor that will determine how much a club owner will be willing to pay you is the renown of the venue and its geographical location. Club DJs normally make a bit less money than radio DJs, and they make substantially less money than wedding DJs.
House-Party DJs
Everything goes when it comes to house parties – you'll sometimes be offered to do a gig for a $100, other times you'll bathe in tips, but don't be surprised if you end up with a couple of snacks and free drinks. House parties are not exactly high-profile gigs.
Mobile DJs
Mobile DJs typically set up streams on various social media platforms and other interactive sites, which means that all they earn is measured in 'tips'. However, this is generally the most flexible and the easiest way of getting a quick buck, even though it might not be the most lucrative business.
1. How much does a DJ cost per hour?
The answer to this question largely depends on what type of DJ you intend to hire. If you have a friend whose friend has a mixing console, they might help you out for free drinks; local DJs typically offer their services for up to $100 while only certain experienced and professional DJs might charge you per hour. Again, the cost range spans in thousands of dollars if we're talking about the big league players here.
2. How much to tip DJ?
It's entirely up to you, although common courtesy suggests that you should tip a DJ (or a musician) about $25 – $50. You won't really get the opportunity to tip top-tier DJs at a high-profile gig, and small-time DJs would appreciate the extra buck.

Activation Church > Who am I?
In fact, I believe that's why adventure races, survival television and even CrossFit are so popular. People are able to define themselves as CrossFitter, powerlifter, bodybuilder. It's probably why we paint ourselves and scream ourselves hoarse at the antics of grown men ramming their helmets against each other on artificial grass. It allows people to tap into that primal search for meaning through struggle.
This reality of our Western culture may be why we are so resistant to changing occupations. Realistically, we know that progress means some occupations become obsolete; when was the last time you visited a cooper to get barrels or had your wagon wheel replaced? For that matter, when was the last time you saw an ad for a telephone switchboard operator?
But for the people in the occupation that's on the way out, or the team that hasn't won in years or the exercise method that is being questioned; this represents a stab at the heart of how they've defined their life's meaning. You can offer me a new way to make a living, lose weight or entertain myself; but you can't destroy my image of who I am and what my life means. And if you try, I will get violently angry.
I guess this means we should seek to define ourselves in terms of something that is permanent and never-changing. Something eternal and outside of ourselves.

Miami, FL — A Miami police officer gunned down a homeless man in close proximity to a group of children Thursday morning, according to eyewitnesses. Up to 60 people witnessed the killing.
Witnesses also told reporters he was not moving aggressively toward police.
As many as 50 kids were said to be at the park on a summer camp outing.
"The kids were hysterical. They didn't know what was happening. They just ran," witness Clarence Bonner told WSVN.
Chief Llanes gave very little details during a press conference, stating only that he knows the officer discharged his weapon.
Llanes qualified the lack of information by stating "We have anywhere between 40 and 60 witnesses that we have to interview, some of them being kids," and added that he also did not know the trajectory of the assassin's bullets.
Wait, what? They couldn't even get the location of the trigger-happy officer at the time of the shooting before this press conference? Good work boys.
Officials have also stated that the killer cop, Antonio Torres a 20-year veteran, has been put on paid administrative leave pending a full investigation, which is protocol for every officer-involved shooting in most departments.
Enjoy that vacation officer, I'm sure it's well-deserved.
We will update this with details as they arise.

Q: Eigenvalues of $\ddot {y} +\dot{y}-6y = 0$ I want to write $\ddot {y} +\dot{y}-6y = 0$ in the form
$$\dot{x} = \cdots$$
$$\dot{y} = \cdots$$
then create a matrix from which I can calculate $\lambda_1,~\lambda_2$.
But I keep getting the wrong eigenvalues if I let $x = \dot{y}$.

A: We let:
$$x_1 = y \\ x_2 = y'$$
Next
$$x_1' = y' = x_2 \\ x_2' = y'' = -y' + 6 y = - x_2  + 6 x_1$$
We can now write
$$X' = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 6 & -1 \end{bmatrix}x$$
Can you take it from here?
Note: as an alternate approach, we can find the roots of the characteristic equation $\lambda^2 + \lambda - 6 = 0 \implies \lambda_1 = -3, \lambda_2 = 2.$

Full title:LORRAINE CLAUDIA MUNDT et al., Appellants, v. GEORGE W. NOWLIN, Respondent
Court:Court of Appeal of California, Second District, Division Two
Date published: Apr 23, 1941
44 Cal.App.2d 414 (Cal. Ct. App. 1941)
Court of Appeal of California, Second District, Division Two
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. Benjamin J. Scheinman, Judge. Affirmed.
Action against landlord for death of child in pool on leased premises. Judgment against plaintiff, following the sustaining of a demurrer to the complaint without leave to amend, affirmed.
Edward C. Purpus and Reece R. Depew for Appellants.
J. Howard Corvin for Respondent.
MOORE, P.J.
Plaintiffs appeal "from a judgment for defendant, George W. Nowlin, after order sustaining demurrer to the third amended complaint without leave to amend."
The sole question for determination is whether the landlord is liable for damages resulting from the death of a six year old child drowned in a pool upon the premises operated by Nowlin's lessees.
After three successive pleadings had fallen before general demurrers, in their third amended complaint plaintiffs allege that on April 27, 1939, defendant George W. Nowlin and others were owners of three certain lots in tract 1693, in the county of Los Angeles, upon which the co-defendants as lessees operated an enterprise known as "Green Acres" consisting of a polo field, riding stables, swimming pool and adjuncts to which the general public was invited to come and pay admission; that the defendants negligently maintained a "pool of water" one-half full of mud and filth; that defendants wantonly permitted said "pool" to fall in disrepair and to become in a defective condition without any guard to separate it from the public street and negligently caused the fence around the pool to fall in such disrepair and removed a portion of the fence enclosing the pool so that the premises were accessible to the general public; that by reason of such negligence plaintiffs' minor child, aged 6 1/2 years, without fault of plaintiffs, fell into the pool, and was drowned.
[1, 2] Plaintiffs contend that even though the demurring defendant had no control over the pool by virtue of the extant lease the latter is liable. Such is not the rule. Assuming that the lessees who operated the property were chargeable with negligence, such negligence cannot be imputed to the landlord. ( Higgins v. Los Angeles Gas Elec. Co., 159 Cal. 651, 661 [ 115 P. 313, 34 L.R.A. (N.S.) 717].) The landlord is not liable for the negligence of his tenants. ( O'Leary v. Herbert, 5 Cal. (2d) 416, 418 [ 55 P.2d 834].) Neither is he liable to others for a nuisance created upon his premises by his tenants who have acquired the leasehold for lawful and proper purposes, where there was no nuisance or illegal structure upon his land at the time of the letting. ( Meloy v. City of Santa Monica, 124 Cal.App. 622 [ 12 P.2d 1072].) There is no allegation that, at the date of the leasing, the pool, in its alleged defective condition obtained or that the pool itself existed. Conceding that upon the trial of a general demurrer, the most favorable construction must be given to the facts set forth in the pleadings, yet in the instant case, the three elements essential to a cause of action namely, duty, the breach thereof and damages logically flowing therefrom, are wanting. It is impossible legally to allege any duty owed by the demurring defendant to the unhappy parents or to their deceased child. Mr. Nowlin had no control over Green Acres.
The authorities cited by plaintiffs are not in point. They fall within two classes: (1) Where a municipality is made liable under a special statute when the existence of a defect in a public property or highway is known to certain officers of the municipality; (2) where defendant himself had control of the defective premises or the agency which caused the damage.
In Katz v. Helbing, 205 Cal. 629 [ 271 P. 1062, 62 A.L.R. 825], the defendant was liable because he had left mixed lime in an unguarded receptacle on the sidewalk. The mixture was used by a small child who threw it upon plaintiff, who was a passenger on a street car, causing her to be injured. In such a case the defendant was negligent in not foreseeing and preventing such an occurrence. Likewise, in all the other cases cited by appellants ( Sanchez v. Contra Costa Irr. Co., 205 Cal. 515 [ 271 P. 1060]; Melendez v. City of Los Angeles, 8 Cal. (2d) 741 [ 68 P.2d 971]; Magnuson v. City of Stockton, 116 Cal.App. 532 [ 3 P.2d 30]; Wright v. Southern Counties Gas Co., 102 Cal.App. 656 [ 283 P. 823]; Malloy v. Hibernia Savings Loan Soc., 3 Cal. Unrep. 76 [21 P. 525]) the defendants therein came within the two classifications above named.
Wood, J., and McComb, J., concurred.

Even as the quality of online security comes under more scrutiny each passing day, a large chunk of the online population still doesn't know how to stay private while doing their activities online.
This article aims to educate regular web users on how to avoid getting tracked while online using 10 simple yet tried and tested methods.
Contrary to what many believe, privacy settings on search engines like Google are not as effective as they say they are. Though these platforms may offer an "incognito" option, this setting is not governed by regulations that require them to honor these obligations.
In most cases, they usually leave this to the websites you visit, most of which depend on tracking their visitors to earn a living. If you want to keep your online activities private, it's best to switch to browsers and search engines that truly don't track your activity, such as StartPage and DuckDuckGo.
If you're accessing the internet through an insecure network, it is usually wise to mask it with a VPN (Virtual Private Network) or even route it through the Tor network. The same applies to avoiding internet trackers.
Masking your real IP address and routing your web traffic through encrypted tunnels effectively stops websites from tracking your activities online. You can use both the Tor Browser and a trusted VPN service as well because the best security measures often have many layers.
Mobile apps have surely disrupted the way humans live and work, and with that power comes unfortunate threats to our security and privacy. These days, even the most harmless-looking apps have the potential to track your activities both online and across apps, giving advertisers the chance to build comprehensive user profiles from the data they obtain.
Always ensure that the permissions you grant to apps are absolutely necessary. For instance, a calculator app should not be allowed to access your GPS location, and neither should a note-taking app request permission to view your contact list.
Alternatively, you can check out MyPermissions.com, which provides a less time-consuming workaround to the problem.
Even if your web activities are entirely legitimate, it is considered unwise to use one email address for all your online accounts and subscriptions.
Ad companies have the ability to flesh out a pretty accurate profile of an individual based on the sites they sign up to and the subscriptions linked to their email addresses. Avoid doing this, and instead, create different email addresses for different purposes. Another option is to use Gliph, an email cloaking service.
Just as ad companies can use your email address to piece together the type of person you are, they can also store your password to make it easier to identify you even when you log into other sites. Having different passwords for different accounts is the best workaround for this issue, but since not many of us are ardent password keepers, we often stick to having just one password, which is risky.
If you're facing difficulties coming up with a solid password, let alone one for each website you visit, password managers are the answer to your problem. Options like LastPass provide you with an easy way to store and remember your passwords no matter how complex they are.
Most of us just hit "Accept & Continue" when we get to the Terms of Service part, and this can turn out to be a grave mistake. You should be very wary of sites that ask for your personal information, especially social security numbers and credit card information, as this kind of information tends to get stolen or misused too often.
Reading through Terms of Service Agreements is a tedious task though, and no one should put themselves through that kind of torture. Services like Terms of Service; Didn't Read examine the fine print for you and highlight only the places you need to pay attention to, such as how the site plans to secure and use your personal data.
These days, it's easy to see which sites have the most trackers. All you need is a browser add-on such as Ghostery or Adblock Plus to see exactly which websites track you as well as to block those trackers completely.
Anti-tracking add-ons have a large database of trackers to watch out for, so your online activities don't end up as subjects to ad companies' antics.
Social media security is vital in today's era.
Facebook is the biggest social media platform, and we routinely see just how easy it is to dig up information about people even when we don't know them in real life. This happens both ways, so it is just as easy for an intruder to find out your legal name, your home address, your phone number and even the places you frequent if you're an avid user of the site's geotagging feature.
If you haven't done it yet, now is the time to ensure that only your friends can view your personal information because advertising companies are always looking to gather more information from loosely protected profiles.
Cookies and cached data from the websites you visit can be used to track you for months, so it is important to get rid of them as soon as you can. Though cookies aren't a definitive method of tracking used by ad companies, they certainly do aid them in learning the sites you've been frequenting on the internet.
You can clear your cache and cookies directly through the settings on your web browser.
If you have accounts that you don't use anymore, it is unwise to leave them active since they can still be used to gather information about you. If you've been on the internet without adequate protection, chances are that data brokers already have a healthy profile of your online activities.
Removing this data, though not free, is possible using services like DeleteMe.

More Japanese Americans Know Their History Because of the Successful Fight Against the Art Auction
By P.C. EditorMarch 6, 2020March 24th, 2020No Comments

In observance of Day of Remembrance, a special panel discussion is held at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
By Ray Locker
Shocked and angered by the threat of a public auction that threatened to scatter art and artifacts created by prisoners at War Relocation Authority camps, Japanese American activists bonded together to create an enduring partnership, a panel at the National Museum of American History said on the 78th anniversary of Executive Order 9066.
In March 2015, a New Jersey-based auction house announced it would sell works collected during World War II by Allen Hendershott Eaton, a folk-art historian and author of the 19 52 book "Beauty Behind Barbed Wire."
After legal action taken by the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation, led by Shirley Ann Higuchi, and a social media campaign by Nancy Ukai, the auction was stopped, and the art was sold to the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles. Actor and author George Takei donated the money to pay for the art.
"In protest, there can be healing," Ukai said at the discussion, which was moderated by JANM President and CEO Ann Burroughs. "We found our voices to work together and protect our history."
The activism behind the fight over the auction led Higuchi, Ukai and the leaders of groups fighting to preserve the legacy of the Japanese American incarceration to create the Japanese American Confinement Sites Consortium (JACSC), which is meeting in Washington, D.C., in late March.

JACSC was started in 2016 to bring 27 groups together to advocate for the continued support of the federal Japanese American Confinement Sites program, which funds the restoration of the former WRA camps and other detention centers around the country.
Last year, the program distributed $2.9 million to 19 groups to support such projects as the restoration of a root cellar at the Heart Mountain, Wyo., site and an oral history project by the Japanese American Citizens League.
Last month, the budget proposed by the White House contained no money for the program, the same as in 2018 and in 2019. In both years, however, a bipartisan group in Congress reinstated the funding, and JACSC leaders are working to ensure that happens again.
David Inoue, executive director of the JACL, and Floyd Mori, a former JACL national president/executive director and longtime community leader, appeared on the panel to talk about their work in maintaining the program.
Fighting the Auction
Higuchi told the packed audience that she and her board were angered at the intended sale of the art by the Rago Arts auction house. They did not believe Eaton or his heirs intended for the art, which was donated by incarcerees who wanted it exhibited publicly, to be sold publicly.
Even though the collection was appraised at only $26,500, the Heart Mountain board raised $50,000 to buy the art, reasoning that if Rago rejected the offer, it would show bad faith on their part.
Rago and the then-anonymous seller rejected the offer, and Heart Mountain hired a New Jersey law firm that Higuchi knew from her work as an attorney for the American Psychological Assn. They announced they would file an injunction to stop the auction, and Rago stopped the sale the same day.
"When I think back to those days, the most significant thing that occurred was the contribution made by Shirley Higuchi and the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation to bring the lawsuit to stop the sale of the Eaton Collection," said the Hon. Norman Mineta, a former Heart Mountain incarceree and later a member of the U.S. House and Secretary of Commerce and Transportation.
In California, Ukai and a small group of activists were creating a Facebook page — Japanese American History: Not for Sale — that highlighted some of the art at risk of being scattered around the country.
"This was our cultural heritage from when we were held" in camps, Ukai said.
Once Japanese Americans could see the art up for auction, they realized the parts of their heritage that were set to be cast adrift around the country, Ukai said.
Ukai is now one of the leaders of Tsuru for Solidarity, which advocates for the rights of immigrants detained by the government. The group will hold a major rally, complete with 120,000 folded paper cranes, in Washington, D.C., on June 5-7. [Editor's note: This event has subsequently been postponed. See story here.]
Clement Hanami, a curator at JANM, has cared for the art since the museum gained control of the collection. He assembled a show of some of the prominent pieces, "Contested Histories," that has toured the country and was at the National Museum of American History to accompany the panel discussion.

"We felt we had to do something very important with this work," Hanami said. "We had to make it more accessible."
Hanami showed a short video of the exhibit being shown at locations around the country. Some of those who saw the artifacts created by their incarcerated ancestors said it awakened a sense of Japanese American identity that they had hidden for decades.
Such reactions, Higuchi said, show the federal government's plan for Japanese Americans during the war actually worked: Japanese Americans were separated from their homes, community and culture and forced to become an assimilated "model minority."
"They put us in the middle of nowhere," she said. "It broke our families up. Growing up, I had no Japanese American friends. My parents were taught not to talk about it. Without working with the community, I would have lost a big part of my life," said Higuchi.

Queenstown, New Zealand: Rib-Sticking Pizza and Pasta at The Cow
Lauren Sloss
[Photographs: Lauren Sloss]
The Cow Pizza and Spaghetti House
Cow Lane, Queenstown 9300, New Zealand (map); 03 442 8588 thecowrestaurant.co.nz
Pizza Style: Medium-crusted, toppings-heavy pies
Pizza Oven: Electric, pies bake at 300º C (572º F)
The Skinny: With a focus on ample toppings, The Cow's sturdy-crusted pizza is a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs affair, perfect after a long day of hiking, skiing, and the likes. Don't skip out on the pasta or garlic bread, either!
Price: Bolognese Pizza, $19.90 NZD for a small; Chicken Liver Spaghetti, $21.90 NZD for a full order; Garlic Bread, $8.50 NZD
With only four days to spend in Queenstown during a recent trip to New Zealand, I had every intention of soaking up as much culinary diversity as possible. But one meal at The Cow soon turned into two, and two into three.
The Cow is a cozy pizza and spaghetti house, tucked down an alleyway of the same name. With heavy, dark wood paneling and a blazing fireplace, it's the kind of place that feels après-ski, or even après-hike, whether or not you're après-anything at all. It's an ideal den—even the middle of New Zealand's summer sees some crisp, chilly nights. The long tables are communal; locals and fellow travelers alike welcome conversation. Wine and beer flow freely, and the menu is almost entirely composed of pizza and pasta. What's not to like?
We ordered our first pizza after eying other parties chowing down on topping-heavy, fresh-from-the-oven pies. Seeing as heartiness is the name of the game at The Cow, we opted for the Bolognese ($19.90 NZD for an 11-inch small, $28.90 NZD for a 14-inch large). None of us had any experience with meat sauce-topped pizzas, but we'd fallen hard and fast for The Cow's take on pasta bolognese (we were, of course, practically regulars at this point.)
The blend of rich meat sauce, melted mozzarella, and tangy-sweet tomato sauce proved to be a great one. The sauce, made of whole, crushed Italian tomatoes and "secret ingredients," is cooked for 8 hours. There's enough meat to add heft to the pie, subtly accentuated by the slow-cooked depth of the bolognese.
The crust, meant to be thin-to-medium in thickness and "crunchy, not floppy," is clearly designed to stand up to toppings. The menu proudly declares that the pizzas are "large and heavily garnished," noting that pizza bags are available for taking home leftovers. The twice-proofed dough bakes to a good, bready height; the browned crunch of the underbelly doesn't lend a huge amount of distinctive flavor, but it's well-salted, with a nice hole structure. Most importantly, the crust is light enough to balance the richness of that delicious sauce.
Spaghetti options at The Cow are equally hearty and, fortunately for the waistline, available in half portions. The pasta isn't fresh, but it's reliably al dente—a perfectly serviceable vessel for the restaurant's sauces. From bolognese, to a cream-based mushroom and cheese sauce, to spicy chicken and chilis, it really does feel necessary to get a pasta in addition to your pizza.
On our last visit, we went big, getting the chicken liver spaghetti ($21.90 NZD for a whole portion, half pictured), described as being "for connoisseurs—not gluttons." It definitely isn't for those who shy away from the meaty, earthy funk of liver...they really pile it on. I love animal parts in excess, so this was a decadent, delightful bowl of goodness for me.
While pizza and pasta and garlic bread ($8.50 NZD) in one meal may seem like overkill, ignore your responsible inner voice and go for it. The garlic bread is unmissable. A small, still-warm loaf of hearty housemade bread is doused with warm, melted butter, studded with ample amounts of diced garlic, and sprinkled with parsley. With a deep, whole grain flavor, the porous bread soaks up the butter and just begs for a dab of the additional butter conveniently served alongside.
Really, there's nothing to do but go big at The Cow. Stop worrying—you'll go for a hike tomorrow, or something. And, if you're like us, will likely hike all the way back to The Cow for dinner again.


I am just soooooo lovin' this set! I know when they showed it to us during the catalog preview I just couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Since it was 'sitting on top of my desk' since I had done this card on Saturday and this card on Tuesday, I figured it would work perfectly for the color challenge this week on Create with Connie and Mary. Hmmm…I think I was right. I think this just turned out sooooo cute! and would be perfect for a more masculine or especially for a teen card!

Cannon off to Pompey
Friday, 28th Dec 2018 09:47 by Col
It may well have been the worst kept secret in the world, but the sale of Andy Cannon to Portsmouth was confirmed on Boxing Day.
The deal was announced by Portsmouth boss Kenny Jackett following his side's defeat at Gillingham on Boxing Day. Jackett confirmed that the deal had been signed last week and will become active on January 1st when the transfer window opens.
The transfer fee is rumoured to be in the region of £150,000 but you would expect further add ons to be included in the deal, including a promotion bonus should Pompey reach the Championship this season.
it brings to a close a frustrating time at the club for Cannon who was highly regarded by Dale supporters but a time in which he struggled to maintain a regular spot in the starting eleven.
