For nearly a decade, Creatix built technology for early stage companies and scaled engineering horsepower for high-growth companies across the United States and Slovakia. The Team was born from cousins, one in Slovakia and the other in Chicago, united on a vision of building a company with the best talent but also, where above all, our people and culture mattered the most. This vision scaled quickly to meet the demands of our Clients in FinTech, Healthcare and eCommerce. The tremendous efforts of the Team over the years was realized when we began our work with GoHealth that, over a 4 year very successful partnership, resulted in a pivotal transformation and maturity of both businesses. Creatix and Team formally joined the GoHealth Family in 2019 and continues to be instrumental in powering their proprietary technology platform that serves millions of Americans.
The vision that brought us to where we are today remains very much alive and propels us forward as we continue to invest in our people and culture.

The US based Team operates the entirety of the GoHealth business with the branch in Slovakia focusing on our software and data platforms and various aspects of its infrastructure. Our focus on the software, product, and infrastructure fuels the company, supporting such programs as our shopping platform, data science and machine learning, marketing automatization, software for call centers systems, CRM software, and more. The list goes on and on!
Thanks to our drive and forward-thinking culture, we are rapidly adapting to changing market conditions. This variety results in a dynamic and motivating work environment. Our employees are becoming experts in modern technology and product stacks, rather than being blocked by rigid, monolithic projects.
We work in mixed Slovak/American teams with mentoring and support from the brightest minds in the industry, including home-grown GoHealth aces as well as former employees of Google, Intel, Eset, and more. We are investing generously into skill development for our employees — we have a professional development program coming soon with a generous budget for every team member to spend on a workshop, conference, certification, membership, or anything else to help expand their skills or knowledge. We provide in-house English courses and an exchange program to travel and work on-site in the Chicago, Illinois, U.S. headquarters. We also invest handsomely in a healthy and safe work environment, be it at your home or in GoHealth offices. Healthy snacks and free-time sport activities are must-haves. Our ongoing goal is to provide work-life balance, and giving our employees flexible working hours is one of the key factors to accomplish that.
We like to think in a broader context and interconnect existing issues on many different levels. We're committed to constantly modernizing and growing our systems with a thoughtful, business-driven approach. As part of our team, our team members will gain valuable exposure to cutting edge technologies, systems, and tools of the trade. We are software engineers and work with multiple technologies:
● Spring, React and Redux and Node.js are just a few common frameworks and libraries we actively use.
● We're proudly multilingual, very TypeScript-positive, and put GoLang to good use throughout our infrastructure and tooling, and keep up with new developments in Java.
● Our systems go through strict QA protocols, rigorous architectural and design reviews, highly engaged code reviews, static code analysis, and automated E2E tests using Gauge/Kotlin.
● Our data teams work hard to make the data available throughout the company. They build pipelines using Java and Python, Flink and Airflow, Kafka, kSQL, and more.
● With the data provided, our data analysts work together with business leaders to provide insights through tools like SQL Server, Amazon Redshift, and Tableau.
● GoHealth's technology teams operate their software at scale and maintain a great range of infrastructural and application systems. Our solutions are typically run as Docker containers, and our cloud-hosted infrastructure and configuration are implemented in code and deployed by Terraform providers and Ansible.
Our proprietary technology is pivotal to our success. With an agile and highly collaborative process, we build the next generation of GoHealth products as high-performing, scalable software solutions that handle a high volume of transactions each day.
GoHealth is a leading provider in the health-tech space, and together we power a fully integrated platform that allows millions of people in the United States to access affordable health insurance options.

Q: How to do vertical infinite repeating background for a JavaScript game? I have been looking at the code of this Flappy Bird clone to figure out how to repeat a background image vertically but have had no luck so far.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/778727/Build-Flappy-Bird-with-jQuery-and-lines-of-Javascr
I've altered the code so far to be able to scroll down, but the repetition of the bg image stops after around 800pixels of moving down and for the hell of me I cant figure out why!

Professor Sanjeev Krishna and his team from St George's, University of London, in collaboration with the National Institute of Medical Research (UK), have been able to identify a complex signature in serum unique to Tuberculosis (TB) that is not present in samples from other infections and lung diseases. Researchers were able to detect this unique signature using a mass spectrometer called a SELDI (surface-enhanced laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight spectrometer). They then used this signature to work out a simpler way to diagnose TB.
Currently, the diagnosis of TB involves looking at sputum with a microscope, which is often the only affordable and available test, but only achieves a sensitivity of 40 – 60% under field conditions. Sputum culture, which takes between two to six weeks to produce a result, is not routinely carried out in countries with a high prevalence of TB but helps to improve diagnostic yield. The key to reducing death rates in patients with TB, and to stopping transmission in resource poor countries, is to diagnose and start treatment in the first visit to the clinic.
Tuberculosis is the number one cause of death by infection in the world today killing about two million people. Yet most deaths from TB are easily preventable by early diagnosis and treatment. Many clinicians still rely on a diagnostic test that is over 100 years old.

This became known when Weaving loom and also was competent of producing designs associated with man made fiber dresses. It turned out made by Paul Marie Jacquard. Them made use of a few smacked cards to get developing completely new motifs. At this moment a good day's computer systems have replaced smacked credit cards.
The very first curtains machine has been done in 1830 in France by Barthelemy Thimmonier. This was able that will placed 100 stiches on one day. The primary profitable regular sewing system has been made by way of Elias Howe of UNITED STATES in 1845. Issac Musician of AMERICA gave website design shape for the sewing equipments in 1851.
Harvesting Product are about two kinds: you regarding mowing typically the seeds along with the other for separating grains along with fodder. The best threshing device was produced in Britain around 1786 by just Toby Meikle. The particular closed fist enjoying equipment was initially furthermore created in The united kingdom throughout 1826 simply by Ike Bells. The actual first enjoying machine was made in US in 1831 by Cyrus McCromick. The most development work on harvesting devices has happen to be worn out the main USA. Right now these machines are remaining widespread all of over the particular world.
The main fists energy electric motor had been invented by simply Michael jordan Faraday in the year 1821. This kind of was only an procedure motor. The main successful dynamo was made within Tokyo around 1870 by Zenobe Theophile Gramme. A great, often the first practical electric car was created ended up being manufactured through Nikola Tesla in 1888 on the Combined States regarding America.
Electric light-weight the first time was manufactured by an electric arc by Humphry Davy in Britain for 1802. Earliest successful electric powered bulb was performed by the particular prominent inventor Betty Alva Edison. Insert filament lights had become solely around 1898.
Often the fists imitation besmear was performed within 1856 by the Indian scientist Bill Perkin. Prior to this, just about all dyes were made from insect pests and house plants. Different fake dyes were made basically after the main technology with Perkin.
X-rays were being invented by simply the German born physicist Wilhelm Roentgen throughout 1895. These kinds of rays were being invented accidently while having been doing various tests in Cathode rays. Nowadays, X-rays are not only utilised to find dislocations and even fractures involving bones but will also in establishments. Roentgen given its name them X-rays because most of these just weren't identified during that time (X-means unknown). Roentgen was presented with the exact first Nobel Prize later, in 1901, in Physics for the exact innovation about X-rays.
Clear plastic was conceived pertaining to the 1st time by way of the British science tecnistions Alexander Parkes. This had been known as Parkensine along with seemed to be made utilizing cellulose and also camphor. An American inventor Ruben Hyatt created similar plastic material in 1868 which ended up being given its name while celluloid. The actual first plastic-type material made of harsh chemicals seemed to be Backelite that was conceived by Leo Backeland of Bengium in 1907.
Ringing was conceived by Alexander Graham Bells of USA in 1876. The telephone has been made use of in 1877 in Birkenstock boston and earliest public call box has been done in Connecticut in 1880. The primary an automatic phone seemed to be launched for 1892 in LaPorte regarding In. The very auto cellular phone exchange came to be put to use in Europe in 1909.
Radio hills were found in 1887 by just Heinrich Hert of Uk. The first enterprise in Entrave Manner had been carried simply by Gulielmo Marconi involving Italia for 1895. Often the first radio stations broadcast with music and also talk seemed to be done simply by Canadian Reginald Fessnden upon January 26, 1906 on UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The particular first stereo station was founded in Idaho in 1907.
The primary television enterprise was that is transmitted by Mediterranean inventor Bob Logie Baird in the year of 1924. The vapor system has been different through the main one remaining used today. The electric powered television was created in USA by Calme Farnworht. Zworkykin in achieved a fantastic achieving success throughout 1930 around establishing the particular electrical tv set.
Indivisible electric power has been produced in 1942 by typically the widely known Exotic science tecnistions Enrico Fremi in STATES. They made the first successful elemental reactor in Chicago. In this particular reactor Uranium was made use of as supply. Such evening these rectors bring electrical power output.
The first of all laptop or computer named Colossus was developed inside Britain throughout 1943 this tends to quickly decode the requirements of struggle. The very first flourishing personal computer was made with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in 1946. The idea was termed ENIAC. Concerning 19, 000 valves and some thousand other electronic components were used in it again. It has been in the dimension of a large room.
The essential of fractional skin action was handed in 1951 by the US ALL researchers Charles L. Townes. They would created laser with 1953. Laser seemed to be made D. H. Maiman of STATES 1960. ?t had been a ruby laser and it also was considerably more bright as opposed to the sun.

We are less than a week away from the debut of the Petro-Yuan-Gold, a landmark moment that may mark the earnest beginning of the end of the USD as the de facto currency of global trade.
So why is China suddenly shipping gold to the UK?
1. The Chinese want to purchase gold at as low prices as possible for as long as possible, so that they can purchase gold cheaply and because they don't want the volatility because it would affect the volatility and thus credibility of the Yuan as a reserve currency.
2. The Chinese want to be able to deliver the counterparts of the Petro- Yuan-Gold contracts (going life on March 26) with the physical gold going into their vault holdings in London (the Saudis have a strong London presence) because the London LBMA/BB vaults don't have enough physical gold to meet the demand (13 week backwardation) that could stem from the new contract and as a result the Petro-Yuan-Gold contact would fail which would be a blamage for the Chinese and severely tarnish their credibility on their road to Yuan convertibility.
And thus the more interesting it will be to see what will happen in the run up to March 26 in terms of EFPs and the gold price development.

The first American woman to win the race in 40 years might just be your new role model, even if you're not a runner.
Before she crossed the finish line in a blonde blaze of glory, you probably hadn't ever heard her name, but Shalane Flanagan is someone to take note of — even if you aren't particularly fond of running.
Though she's an Olympic silver medalist, has multiple international championship medals, and holds numerous American records, Flanagan isn't exactly a household name. Until now. She won the prestigious New York City marathon with an incredible time of 2 hours, 26 minutes (and 53 seconds). That's a blistering pace of 6 minute and sub-6 minute miles the entire race of 26.2 miles. Flanagan's win is so historic because she's the first American woman to win the race in 40 years.
In our culture of social media one-upping and reality television where "throw me under the bus" is a common refrain, we've gotten pretty used to seeing people do whatever they can to get ahead — often at the very real expense of others. Shalane Flanagan is different — her personal athletic goals are clear, but she's incredibly invested in other women and seeing them achieve their goals, right along with her. Incredibly, every single woman that has trained with her has made it to the Olympics — that's a staggering 11 women who have reached the top while running alongside Flanagan.
"Shalane has pioneered a new brand of 'team mom' to these young up-and-comers, with the confidence not to tear others down to protect her place in the hierarchy," Lauren Fleshman, another professional runner says. "Her legacy is in her role-modeling, which women in every industry would like to see more of." It's clear that Flanagan isn't threatened by the accomplishments of successful women around her — she's motivated and invigorated right along with them, a rare and extremely positive trait that shows just how powerful "teamwork" can be, even in a sport as solitary and individualized as running. This attitude is easily transferable to so many things in life, whether it be at work, at home, or in our neighborhoods — elevating others always benefits everyone in the long run.
When Shalane first joined Portland, Oregon's running club, called the Bowerman Track Club, she was the only woman. Rather than stay the solitary female, she recruited other women to join along with her and began training with them. They were coached by men, and ran mostly with men, but the women began outrunning everyone in the club. This is not some story of "girls are better than boys" though. It's simply a testament to the perseverance and commitment Shalane shows to helping other women succeed, no matter what. In a group of all men, Shalane didn't see an obstacle, she saw an opportunity to create something that was lacking, and in doing so she helped create a remarkable team of runners who became some of the best in the world.
So many women have heavy loads to bear between responsibilities at work, duties at home with children and/or aging parents, and neighborhood and community obligations. And how many of us just never ask for help? Receiving a helping hand from someone is difficult — often it means putting a little of our "I got this!" attitude aside and becoming humble. We want to be humble, it's just that learning to do it takes work. Shalane — one of the fastest women in the country — isn't afraid to ask for help from other runners. She trains with other women because it benefits her, too. And her training partners aren't afraid to reciprocate.
In 2016, she was running her Olympic trial qualifying race with teammate Amy Cragg. It was a hot day and Flanagan began to slow down towards the end of the race — her face was flushed and her stride was off. Cragg didn't skip a beat in encouraging Flanagan, even slowing her own pace and getting water for her struggling partner. Together, they crossed the finish line where Flanagan "collapsed in Cragg's arms." After the race, Amy Cragg told the New York Times: "We had run thousands of miles together; we had worked so hard for this. She had been there every step of the way, struggling with me. We all have someone like Shalane where you're kind of dependent on her, who has your back and would do the same thing." Maybe we're not running marathons anytime soon, but most of us could stand to accept help when offered — if Olympic distance runners can do it, perhaps we can too!

On the small space station Azura, Maxion Belmont is constantly torn between his two passions--engineering and music. Both are hobbies handed down from his father, which is bittersweet since his death two years ago. While his hydrodriver is great for repairing starship parts, his father's old string instrument tugs at the latent grief Max hides from his mom and classmates with each chord he strums. When a foreign starship appears on the horizon, Azura welcomes their first tourist in years. But there's something weird about Mr. Hames, the stranger-turned-substitute teacher. He has no idea how to teach and keeps raving about the existence of alien creatures in the vacuum of space: star whales. As Max and the rest of Mr. Hames's class-turned-starship crew begin to uncover the mysteries of the star whales, they discover they aren't the only ones looking for the elusive creatures--and not every whaler has good intentions.

Thirteen-year-old Prince Noa has hated the ocean since the day it caused his mother's death. But staying away from the sea isn't easy on his tropical island home, where he's stuck trying to keep up with his dim-witted and overconfident younger brother Dagan--the brawn to Noa's brains. When a vengeful pirate lays siege to their home, Noa and Dagan narrowly escape with their lives. Armed with a stolen ship, a haphazardly assembled crew, and a magical map that makes as much sense as slugs in a salt bath, the brothers set sail for the realm's other kingdoms in search of help. But navigating the sea proves deadlier than Noa's worst fears. To free his home, Noa must solve the map's confusing charts and confront the legendary one-eyed pirate before an evil force spreads across the realm and destroys the very people Noa means to protect.


There are many studies of the impact of climate legislation on our pocketbooks and jobs, and they project startlingly different outcomes. For every study that projects job loss, there is another that projects job gain.
Policy Matters Ohio took a close look at the top dozen current studies to try to make some sense of it all. We found legitimate and substantive differences in assumptions about key economic concerns, such as the mix of fuels used in energy production under a cap and trade program. We also found different methods used in projection (econometric, input-output, and others); different rates and base years used in accounting for inflation; and different measures of impact on the pocketbook ("household income" or "consumption," for example). We found studies on different versions of legislation: some consider last year's Lieberman-Warner bill, others the early provisions of Waxman-Markey, and others, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 as passed by the House of Representatives. We found some studies excluded key elements of legislation - say, energy efficiency provisions - while others focused solely on that issue. In brief? It's hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison.
Generally speaking, we found that for studies undertaken using econometric models, what is commonly described as 'job loss' or 'Cost to Households' is better described as a limit on otherwise projected growth. In all studies that considered gross domestic product (GDP) between now and 2050 (the time that a cap and trade program would be in place) the US economy is forecast to grow; however, in some studies growth rates are projected to be slightly less with a cap and trade program than under a 'business as usual' forecast, within a range of .1 percent to 3.4 percent.
We note that the 'business as usual' scenarios do not focus on the cost of global warming, which World Economist Nicholas Stern of the United Kingdom warns will top the most costly scenarios of the studies reviewed here.

From Wikileaks–Julian Assange's internet link cut by "state actor"
Posted on October 19, 2016 by jmdenison
from Ken Ditkowsky
Subject: Re: Assange's internet link cut
Date: Oct 17, 2016 4:35 PM
The only surprise in the article you forwarded is the fact that the NYTimes, CBS, NBC, CNN, et al have not been dismissing the attempt at censorship as "paranoia!"
Maybe it is not coincidence that many of us have found our e-mail links to be slow, cut off, etc! Certainly the Code of Silence as to the revelations of the Wikileaks release of the Clinton e-mails is analogous to the reluctant coverage of the horrendous crimes of ELDER CLEANSING.
I of course have my bias – I am much more aggreived by the fact that so little media coverage is afforded the explosive felonies of elder cleansing and the absurd fraud profits exhibited by the miscreants. Philip Esformes stole a Billion ($1,000,000,000) dollars from Medicare and the Chicago media literally ignored the crime. (The Tribune has recently given it some ink, but considering the amount stolen the crime and similar crimes occurring right her in Chicago should be exposed. Our health care system is failing not only because it is imperfect, but because the criminals have so much money to grease the palms of the Political elite, the Judiciary and the media that America is fast becoming a 3rd World Nation)
If Philip Esformes had any dignity, or good will he would go voluntarily to the Federal authorities and hat in hand co-operate fully, honestly and completely with an HONEST INVESTIGATION. Mr. Esformes is well aware that his crime is heinous and the only way his is going to have any future is to cultivate the good will of the United States of America by co-operation. He is also aware, or should be aware that even with billions of dollars available for greasing the palms of law enforcement – with or without media coverage – more people are watching him and his feats of daring than care who, if anyone, wins the next Presidential election. His crime is personal to us as every one of us will get old and at some time in our lives will need rehabilitation in a "nursing home." I do not want to have to qualify for conceal carry in order to rehabilitate my knee after surgery!
The editorials of the media are no longer on the editorial page – they are on the front page. If Government is trying to doctor the news so that it favors one candidate over another – it should stop. If government is assisting in helping miscreant health care providers rip us and the elderly and disabled off the government officials and persons holding public trust ought to be jailed and barred from any further public service. The antics of public officials such as Jerome Larkin, the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission and the Illinois Supreme Court in fostering 'elder cleansing' and covering up for the miscreant profiting therefrom is infamous and should be the immediate subject of HONEST INQUIRY AND HONEST PROSECUTION.

From the Paris AP:
PARIS (AP) — WikiLeaks has blamed Ecuador for cutting off founder Julian Assange's internet access while he is holed up at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, and while his group is releasing thousands of emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman.
Assange has been at the embassy for more than four years after skipping bail to avoid being extradited over sex crimes allegations.
WikiLeaks initially blamed an unidentified "state actor" for cutting off Assange's internet access, then on Monday said in a tweet that it was Ecuador. It said access was cut off at 5 p.m. GMT Saturday.
Calls, texts and emails left with WikiLeaks weren't immediately returned Monday. A woman who picked up the phone at the embassy said: "I cannot disclose any information."
Trump calls SNL spoof 'hit job,' calls for end of show
Ecuador's Foreign Ministry released a brief statement that didn't mention the internet cut off, but reaffirmed its decision to grant Assange asylum.
"Faced with the speculation of the last few hours, the Government of Ecuador ratifies the validity of the asylum granted to Julian Assange four years ago," the Foreign Ministry said. "We reaffirm that his protection by the Ecuadorean state will continue while the circumstances that led to the granting of asylum remain."
London's Metropolitan Police declined to comment.
Assange's cramped quarters haven't prevented the Australian transparency activist from working and WikiLeaks continues to deliver scoops, including revelations that have rattled Clinton's campaign for president as the U.S. election enters its final stretch.
WikiLeaks said in its tweet blaming Ecuador that Assange's internet was cut shortly after it published transcripts of paid speeches Clinton gave to Goldman Sachs. Those were part of the tranche of emails hacked from the accounts of John Podesta, campaign chairman for the Democratic nominee.
Associated Press Writer Gonzalo Solano contributed reporting from Quito, Ecuador.
State actors such as Jerome Larkin and the ABA deleted dozens of comments on their blog which supported the fact that even their members readily know, if you publish the truth, you will suffer an ARDC "go after" proceeding.
In my proceeding, discovery was quashed, my expert witnesses were quashed, and even the court proceeding was unlicensed. I don't see how there could have been more lack of due process in my case.

Disney Will Remove More of Its Content From Netflix—How Long Before It's All Gone?
With Disney acquiring Fox and launching its own streaming service, Disney+, in 2019—not to mention taking a controlling stake in Hulu—we should highly consider bingeing the studios' content before it disappears. All of the Mouse House's family-friendly films and shows will likely be rerouted to Disney+, while Fox's more adult-skewing fare is expected to land on Hulu. Which means that soon enough, big-name titles will no longer be available on Netflix or HBO.
In late 2017, Disney announced that it would be pulling its Marvel and Star Wars content from Netflix in advance of Disney+, while the same is likely true for Fox. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Disney's chief strategy officer Kevin Mayer expanded on those efforts.
When asked if Mayer would have renewed WarnerMedia's $80 million Friends licensing agreement with Netflix had he been in charge, the executive doubled down on the looming in-house strategy.
So when should fans expect to say goodbye?
Disney's current deal with Netflix ends in 2019, while Fox's existing deal with HBO stretches until 2022. Disney realizes that the future will be built around direct-to-consumer content creation and distribution, and it's willing to forgo the estimated $350 million in annual revenue it receives from Netflix.
HBO, meanwhile, is preparing a more aggressive approach to combat Netflix that includes a greater emphasis on franchises and premium offerings. The cable network will also likely be included in WarnerMedia's developing streaming service. The newly formed conglomerate is expected to strike a deal with NBCUniversal to further bolster its online library.

You're a Macho Man. You have all the gadgets which real Macho Guys absolutely must have: A CD player, or even a transport with a separate DAC, and recently you made a dedicated media PC, which is dead silent and as capable as HAL 9000! You have nice and potent speakers too. Maybe you also have an ancient Black Disc Spinner, but that's another issue. Or is it? It gives you even more opportunities to later make another gadget, to amplify those tiny signals randomly collected from black grooves...And you just finished making the best amps money can buy, just because you're lucky, you're also potent, same as your speakers, and you're hanging with right Macho Bunch, at the right place, diyAudio, sharing ideas and the newest tips on how to reach Audio Nirvana.
As written above, you're macho, and you like listening to your music loud, and you also like to watch your fave Football or MotoGP, and actually listening to them, not just staring at a moving picture. There is nothing better than to hear bones cracking (Football) or the metal to asphalt scream (MotoGP)! Wait a minute, you have a Wife, or even a Mom? And they aren't always in the mood for your torture of loud music every day? So, you really are not so macho and you need a Volume Control. "gotcha!" – JB .
What is important in an Optical Volume Control ?
Assuming that we are still following the same law of decrease/increase of series/shunt resistance, it looks that we have gained a couple of things.
2. We need a proper circuit to make these LEDs behave in the way we want them to exactly. But number two actually has a hidden benefit. We must make some unnecessarily complicated circuit blocks just to preserve the impression that we are still Macho, doing things which our Chicks really aren't able to understand. The fact that they aren't even slightly interested in understanding our toyz 'n' gamz isn't part of the prospective of this clever document.
Luckily, thanks to the kind people from the Pro Oriented Industry, who are pretty much unaware of the existence of a bunch of wakoo people obsessed with using real parts for something that is intended to make some funny noises called Music, we have those nice and precious parts: LDRs, or Light Dependent Resistors. For further info on other projects with these funny devices, including GeorgeHiFi's thread on the Lightspeed Attenuator, see the Links to the side of this article. That boy started the entire Frenzy on Big DiyAudio.
But we boyz from Serbian DiyA, had an idea how to ensure the good behavior of our tiny LDRs with current sources, which must be of course, both adjustable and variable. For the schematic look at "PCB01 Schematic" at the end of this document.
As you can see, we decided to use the old fashioned approach, without the use of fancy add-ons such as microprocessors etc. A pot is still the main adjusting part, but this time we use the cheapest 2x10K linear one, and the audio signal is nowhere near it. Its role is to handle variable voltages, which are steering adjustable Current Sources.
-Q6, along with LED1 and VR1 form a reference voltage string, with 3mA of current flowing through. We have available there two fine voltage points, 2V5 on top of VR1, and ~ 2V more on top of LED1 .
-We are using a reference voltage of 2V5 to inject it into our main Governor (Hasta La Vista - ring a bell ?) Pot itself, so we have nice clean and steady DC voltage to play with. Q3 is any small N type Darlington (or even two small signal diodes connected in series if you're a cheapskate ) and is nothing other than a convenient voltage shifter. Using it there is to try to null TempCo of the same type Darlingtons used as control elements in two main Current Sources (look down) .
-So, we have clean and steady voltage (2V5 less two Vbe) on top of Pot1. Now look at the vertical string starting from 15V, made of LEDS in 4 LDRs (OK7,5,3,1), closed jumper JMP01, and dedicated Current Source, CS made of Q1 steered with voltage from POT01, cleverly cascoded (by Mighty ZM) with Q4. That one, Q4, is biased from the previously mentioned voltage tap on top of LED1. That vertical string is dedicated to series LDRs.
-I'm clever, so I'll paste the above paragraph here for the right vertical string, just changing the appropriate part labels. So now look at the vertical string starting from 15V, made of LEDS in 4 LDRs (OK8,6,4,2), closed jumper JMP02, and dedicated Current Source, CS made of Q2 (steered with voltage from POT02), cleverly cascoded (by Mighty ZM) with Q5 . That one, Q5, is biased from the previously mentioned voltage tap on top of LED1. That vertical string is dedicated to shunt LDRs.
Idea is, with the main pot at zero (7 O'clock) position, minimum current is flowing through the left series LDR LED string (on top of Q1) so the mating LD Resistors have max resistance. At the same time, max current is flowing through the right shunt LDR LED string (on top of Q2 ) so the mating LD Resistors have minimum resistance. The result is that our poor tone signal is attenuated maximally.
That crossed behavior is achieved with a crossed connection of reference voltage to a two section of main pot, while the reference voltage is connected to the "start" end of POT02, and it's connected to "end" end of POT01. Incidentally, at the 12 O'Clock position of the main pot these two voltages coming on both wipers must be same. But we are clever, so we introduce a "fake log law" inducing resistor in each section, R200 and R300. That's an old trick, to use a linear pot because the section matching of them is better than with cheapskate class logs. Put a few resistors from wiper to ground and Voila!, we have an Audiophool pot for pocket money, or we hope we do at least .... where's da :devil: smiley when a man needs it ?
OK, now look again at Pic.3.
You see where the signal is coming in, where ground is, and where the signal is coming out. Now, look at the Schematic of PSM LS. We have 4 (or just two, for stereo unbalanced, if you wish so) sections. The first one is made of OK1 & OK2 (R-), the second one is made of OK3 & OK4 (R+), the third one is made of OK5 & OK6 (L-), and the fourth one is made of OK7 & OK8 (L+).
If you obtained your LDRs from me, use Series X and Shunt X as a pair, where X is 1 to 4. So, Series 1 + Shunt 1, Series 2 + Shunt 2, Series 3 + Shunt 3, Series 4 + Shunt 4. They're matched with that in mind.
I think that everything is clear regarding the points where the signal is coming in, where Ground is, and where the signal is coming out. Just one note: cleverly, on both the schematic and pcb itself, the audio ground isn't connected to any point of the steering circuit. My Fullrange Bro Spavleski, responsible for those funny patchwork pcbs we made, even uses the top pcb layer as ground for the steering circuit, without any ill effects.
The electrolytic caps and block caps, connected in parallel with LDR LEDs, are there for cleaning up any possible residual noise in the PSU. Use them or not, your choice, they aren't critical at all.
The P4-P11, 2M2 trimpots are there just in case that the LDRs aren't tightly matched. If you have tightly matched LDRs you don't need them at all. Later in this text I'll explain a better cure, in case you feel or measure that some section is slightly weaker than another.
We will leave the Optical Volume circuit now, and look at the buffer schematic; That's the "PCB02 Schematic", also on end of this document .
First – look at the the buffer PSU schematic on the top left of the page, when oriented as you're used to looking at a page and still able to see letters .
Transformer – its wisest to use common one for both Optical Volume and buffer circuits. Whatever. While you're free to use center tapped or not center tapped transformer for Optical Volume circuit, here you must use a center tapped one, because we need a two-leg supply, where we have both a positive and a negative leg. Of course now, because the power grounds on two circuits/pcbs aren't connected through any other possible path – you can wire it for PCB01 in any of previously mentioned ways, and for PCB02 you must connect the center tap where it belongs .
The Reg itself, is pretty similar to the already explained reg for Optical Volume. So it's pretty straightforward; transformer, snubber cap, Graetz diode bridge, electrolytics + solid caps filter for each leg, then LM317 (100mA CCS for pos. leg), LM337 (100mA CCS for neg. leg), then an interesting thing, a sort of common (for both legs) Zener reference string, made of D5,D6,D7,Q1,D8,D9 and D10. The first three are a voltage reference for the shunt darlington Q2, while the last three are voltage reference for the shunt darlington Q3. Q1 is a little CCS for the Zener string, serving both halves, upper and lower, and not being connected to ground.
OK, then we have a string made of Q2 and Q3, and their emitters are connected to output ground, while each Zener string half is finding their potential path/point via the corresponding Darlington. Anyway, to cut the story short, and my pains in explaining things on non-native, you'll have a pretty low noise reg, with 5V1+0V65+5V1+1V3=13V15 on each output. Twice 5V1 is obviously from the two Zeners, 0V65 is from conducting connected uni diode (1N4148) and 1V3 is 2Vbe of the Darlington.
Stability vs. Time isn't of much importance here, just because once all parts reach their temperature equilibrium, the output voltage is pretty stable. Conducting connected 1N4148, which have opposite TempCo to Zeners is purely from habit here.
C5 & C6 are noise suppressors for the Zener string. CX and CY are possible oscillation killers and tiniest noise removers. Now I need rofl smilie, but I don't have it handy . C7,C8,C9,C10 - noise killers, what else ?
Now look lower on the schematic. Pick the one you want of the 4 framed schematic parts, they're identical. Assuming that you're looking at the farmost left, that's nothing other than a JC/Borbely (or Borbely/JC–who knows?) buffer stage, made of two complementary Jfets. Unfortunately they're the scarce Toshiba ones, but you're probably so eager to spend a few Greenies making the ultimate Macho Volume Gizmo, that you already have them.
R1A: Usual anti-oscillation/helper/niceplaceformylatestbestbrandofshinyresistor. R2A defines the input impedance of the buffer, and at the same time conveniently taking the gates of both Jfets to ground. Q1A & Q2A, they're the workers here. Ever see two Woodcutters working with a crosscut saw? They're doing same thing here, pushing and pulling (Got ya! a crosscut saw can be pulled only ) their common output, governed by the input signal on their common input. P1A serves as a biasing device for both Jfets, while giving you a chance to adjust the zero offset at the output, after the initial warm-up of these two funny Jfet critters of course.
C4A & R4A , C3A & R5A are snubbers. C1A &C2A are local decoupling, along with snubbers. R3A is there to clamp outputs to ground, even when the outputs have no load. Well, one buffer explained. You must believe me when I say that the other 3 are the same, just differing in parts nomenclature and with the suffix B,C, or D instead of A.
The entire gadget is made of 4 volume blocks on PCB01, called PSM Optical Volume, and 4 buffer blocks on PCB02, called PSM Buffer. We can use/combine them in several ways, and only you can decide the best way to do it. Certainly the simplest way of combining them is a pure balanced attenuator, buffered on the output, meaning that each of 4 volume blocks/channels is buffered on the output.
Be careful! The short (LED) legs are fragile. Even if you have a dot on the LDR body, re-check the dot position with the diode tester on your DVM. The rest of the picture is self–explanatory .
LDR's are in opposite position in right and left columns. Nota Bene: LDR's are drawn as photo-transistors on our schematic (now you're saying before I can: "on end of document, PCB01 Schematic") But don't worry, the LED's are drawn the right way.
Its now time to ask you – Did you wire that funny pot in this way?
Now is also the time, assuming that you checked twice how the LDR's are positioned and soldered, and that you already soldered all the other parts (including those funny PC-like jumpers JMP01 and JMP02). There is no need to mount any heatsink now on IC1 and Q7, just check their temperature later with a finger. Warm is OK, if hot then mount some small heatsink of any sort you have in your parts drawer.
Ready for powering up PCB01? Do not connect the transformer leads to PCB02. At this time we need it just for PCB01.
- remove JMP01 and JMP02.
- turn main potentiometer to 12 clock.
-Check the voltage (ref to ground of course) on the middle leg of Q3. It must be around 2V5.
Next, power down and connect a mA meter between the pins of JMP01 with the main potentiometer still in a 12 O'clock position. Then power up. The current is probably few mA. Turn the main pot slowly clockwise, taking care that the current does not rise above 15mA. When you are on max. position with the main pot (5 Clock), set the current to 15mA with P1.
Now power down, remove the mA meter clips from JMP01, place a jumper on it, place the mA clips on the JMP02 pins, and turn the main pot to 12 O'clock. Then power up and check the current. It must be in range of few mA. Turn the main pot slowly anti-clockwise, taking care that the current does not rise above 15mA. When you are on minimum position with the main pot (7 O'clock), set the current to 15mA with P1. Power down, remove the mA meter clips and place the bridge on JMP02. Bingo, you're done with PCB01 for now.
Shall we progress to PCB02 powering up now?
If you're finished with that first beer, don't use another one ..... If you're in for another mug of coffee, now is the time.
OK, you can leave the transformer wires connected to PCB01, and you must connect them to PCB02 now. You didn't forgot to solder one tiny jumper, situated between the two right most 100uF caps and right most 5V1 Zener did you? That jumper is for connecting all ground-planes to actual ground .
You don't need heatsinks on LM's and Darlingtons to start. Check later, as I mentioned before. Warm is OK, but if hot mount any small heatsink you have. Pads for buffer Jfets are oriented to ensure a face to pace position of little critters. Feel free to put a small blob of thermal goo between them and tie them with plastic wire tie or even small piece of heatshrink.
Power up da thingie. Check positive and negative PSU rails with the black probe on ground (mid point between two 2200uF caps is convenient place), and red probe to the middle pin of BDX53C for the positive leg, and then red probe to middle leg of BDX54C for the negative leg. If these two voltages are in the ballpark of 12V be happy. Next check DC voltages across every 50R output trimpot. Its fine if you see around 250-300 mV That's the sign that both Jfets in each buffer are conducting. While you are there, if everything is OK after 10min or so, put black probe on ground, red probe on each ( one at a time) buffer output and adjust DC offset to zero with the trimpot.
Now, you can power off your new Semi-Macho gadget and think of what you really want to make. It's sorta complicated to describe the several possible variants, so I made few sketches and I hope that things are clearer that way.
It's pretty obvious that this configuration is for plain stereo attenuation – two attenuator channels, two buffers. That means that each channel output is buffered. It's handy to have spare pair of outputs so you can add an additional pair of RCA's and feed them ditto from attenuator outputs, before the buffers.
As you can see, two attenuator sections and four buffers. That way each of the stereo unbalanced channels is buffered on both the input and output. Same thinking applicable as in the previous configuration, you can mount an additional pair of RCAs and feed them pre-output buffers . You can also mount a small 2-deck toggle switch on the front panel and bypass the input buffers whenever you feel that's wise in case that you have one source with enough muscles to drive the LS directly, and other sources that are weaker in driving capability. A toggle switch can be used to control a small relay, which will usually have better contacts than the switch itself, so it's beneficial to use a relay as a bypass switch. You can steal a few dozens of mA for the relay from the raw PSU before the PCB01 reg. Be creative and find these points, or for a wiser/purist solution, make a small pcb with a tiny Graetz diode bridge and a small electrolytic cap, and put an adequate resistor in line with the relay coil. That way you'll not pollute any part of the DC grid in the gadget.
You would need two PCB02 boards for that final configuration, and I firmly doubt that anyone needs that, or has the time and will to make it.
nice place for two pictures. The first one is the crosscut saw in action .... Wood Diy'ers understand this..
Now I can presume that you have decided which arrangement is for you, that you read both the thread and this funny paper, that you wired all needed wires between the transformer, both PCBs, input selector (no, I can't teach anyone how to wire the selector, hehe), and all input and output connectors, so we are ready for the final procedure.
We need any sort of signal generator, set for ~ 500Hz and a DVM on AC voltage or a 'scope. I'll show block schematic for balanced stereo. If you're using unbalanced stereo, just cover half of the schematic with blank paper. (if you are reading from a screen, tape paper on the screen hehe).
This procedure is brought to all of us by Mighty spavleski . OK – whazzat ?
Nothing other than a signal generator connected to ALL the hot inputs in parallel. Obviously, all input grounds are tied together. That way all 4 channels/sections are fed with the same signal. On right side, connect your AC meter, (either the DVM on AC or a 'scope) to ground and to one output (HOT) at a time .
Step 1 – position main volume pot on 9 clock; measure Out 1 & write down, measure Out 2 & write down, measure Out 3 & write down, measure Out 4 & write down.
Step 2 - position main volume pot on 12 clock; measure Out 1 & write down, measure Out 2 & write down, measure Out 3 & write down, measure Out 4 & write down.
Step 3 - position main volume pot on 3 clock; measure Out 1 & write down, measure Out 2 & write down, measure Out 3 & write down, measure Out 4 & write down.
Step 4 - position main volume pot on 5 clock; measure Out 1 & write down, measure Out 2 & write down, measure Out 3 & write down, measure Out 4 & write down.
If you're lucky, all values will be in 5% or even smaller bracket. If not, you have one beautiful trick as a weapon tnx to my clever engineer friend spavleski.
I already wrote previously that we are not going to mount these 8 trim pots on PCB01. If you bought them in the meantime, you can curse me, or you can keep them for something else funny, and curse me again.
So now we have a few empty holes in that PCB, and they are a perfectly adequate place for soldering two parallel 3mm red LEDs in parallel with our nasty behaving OK2. That way we are stealing some current from it in the entire range of operation, not just in some narrow area around the desired (listening volume) range, as is case with parallel connected trimpots. This solution is certainly better. Of course you can try for a start, curing it with just one red LED in parallel to OK2, and repeat the procedure as needed. This time you need to just compare the "faulty" channel with the nearest one. If needed, add another LED in parallel to first one.
Now, if you're using a 'scope for this procedure, power up once again that signal generator, position the main pot between 7 and 8 clock, connect the 'scope to any output, and fiddle with P3. The goal is to see just a slight signal wobble on the screen, meaning that we choose a natural position where we can just hear music singing through our new gadget. 7 is zer/nada/zilch/mute, and around 8 is minimum. If you have just a DVM, perform that part of procedure with a signal source connected to input and an amp & speaker on the output when you finally place the PSM LS in your system.
Lowest input impedance of LS itself is in range of 350 Ohms, at somewhere around the 9 O'clock position of the pot, while max is up to 35K near both extremes of the pot. The input impedance of the buffer stage is pretty much the same as the input gate(s) resistor, 220K, while output impedance is well in the range of 50 ohms.

Interesting device! Is there a circuit board available for this?
Thanks for the heads up, I found what I needed.
Fugly cascode analogy pic, naah, this would do it better.
This is a great idea. It was also a great idea when Collins used it in their Broadcast Control Boards (AKA Mixers) in 1968 when I was Chief Engineer of WALL in New York. Their original units were plugged into a 7-pin tube socket and were housed in a metal can about 1 inch high. They had incandescent bulbs run by the Pots on the Control Board. Cool: 1 pot could control both channels of the stereo board!
BUT they sometimes failed, and I designed new ones with those really new solid state light thingies. Umm. oh, yeah.. LED's They only cost about $4 apiece. I epoxied them on top of LDR's and put them back in those 7-pin tube plugs. They matched better and were more stable than the original ones..

I just want to underline that the whole idea comes from who the else but "the fugly" ZM mind. My sincere contribution was a bit on this Project by means of drawing PCB's, schematics and giving comments. Anyhow, having made the prototype of this gadget in balanced mode, my life has been changed, and my searching for the best possible pre-amp finished.

Tamaria Williams changing FAMU one department at a time
May 4, 2018 9:12 am by Breanna Evans-Taylor
Tamaria Williams is a warm hearted, educated professional and an impartial visionary.
Growing up with two sisters and a brother in Midway, about 15 miles west of Tallahassee, Williams is no stranger to the city that cultivates scholars.
"My parents always instilled in us the importance of education," said Williams, 43.
Determined to make a positive name for herself, Williams wasted no time obtaining degrees from a higher education institution.
Through her matriculation, Williams obtained transferable skills that would ensure her success in all of her future endeavors.
FAMU officially hired Williams in spring 2016 and has managed to show its absolute appreciation for her as a faculty member ever since.
From February 2016 to November of that year Williams was promoted three times while at FAMU. Initially, she was hired as the Director of Developmental Studies. In July, Williams was asked to supervise the Office of Access and Opportunities which houses the Access Summer Bridge program.
In November she was promoted once more to the Interim Director of the Undergraduate Student Success Center, a position she has held for almost two years, while still fulfilling the other positions.
"The university decided they wanted to take a different approach…the department proposed and shared with the board of trustees that the academic advisors would be switched over to professional staff and their role would be moved under student affairs," Williams said.
While the department undergoes this transitional period, Williams will remain in her supervisor roles and, the faculty and staff stand behind her in doing so.
Crystal Flowers, the Transfer Student Coordinator, has known Williams for two years now. She believes that Williams is a great addition to the Undergraduate Student Success Center.
"She treats everyone the same and she shows no favoritism. I think it makes it a little easier to be a director when everyone is on the same playing field," says Flowers.
The day to day tasks for a director from any higher institution are tedious and even more so time consuming but, these tasks are no match for someone as driven and harmonious as Williams.
"One memorable thing about Dr. Williams is she truly tries to spend a substantial amount of time with each advisor ensuring that they can grow from all new information obtained,"said Jasmyn Pollock, the Summer Bridge Coordinator at FAMU.
According to Williams, FAMU is the only state university in Florida that can offer developmental studies courses.
The Board of Governors has given FAMU a policy where the number of profile-admit students can not exceed 20 percent of the total number of students accepted.
The idea is to select scholars that will make FAMU competitive to other higher education institutions. Ultimately the department shoots for a lower percentage of profile-admit students but, seeks to provide resources for those said students who are not deemed college ready.
When asked what the campus can expect to see next from the Office of Access and Opportunities and Undergraduate Student Success Center, Williams replied, " My original piece was to come in and really provide some structure and leadership within the developmental studies area and, as long as I am the director I will continue to do that."
It is evident when it comes to implementing student programs set to increase FAMU's competitiveness, Williams will give her all to see it through. Furthermore, she pays close attention to the stability of her family and, the needs of the community.
Married for a strong 10 years, Williams and her husband, Brian Williams, decided to build their family home from the ground up. After about a year, the home is expected to be complete sometime in August.
Williams' community involvement includes: Assistant Membership Director for Junior League of Tallahassee, immediate Past President National Council of Negro Women- Greater Tallahassee Section, Boys & Girls Club of the Big Bend Board Secretary, Member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and Gadsden County Florida Service and Education Foundation, Inc- Board Secretary.
