Romano Racing was an Australian motor racing team that competed in Australian V8 Supercar racing between 1995 and 2003.

History

Sports Cars
Romano Racing had its roots in the 1980s when team principal Bap Romano raced in the Australian Sports Car Championship (ASCC). In 1981, Romano commissioned former McLaren Formula One mechanic and the owner of Kaditcha cars in Queensland Barry Lock to build him a Le Mans type Group A Sports Car to run in the ASCC. The car, known as the Kaditcha K583 was the first closed top Sports Car seen in Australia and incorporated full ground effects aerodynamics. Powered by a Cosworth DFV V8 engine, Romano finished in 6th place in the 1983 ASCC before going on to dominate the 1984 Championship. In 1984, Romano had the car re-engineered into a race winner by former Williams F1 mechanic Wayne Eckersley and it was renamed the Romano WE84. Romano and four time CAMS Gold Star winner Alfredo Costanzo drove the car in the final round of the 1984 World Endurance Championship at the Sandown Raceway in Melbourne.

Reliability became an issue in 1985 which saw Romano fail to defend his Sports Car Championship. The sports car program came to an abrupt end in 1986 when Romano heavily crashed the car at Amaroo Park in Sydney where the front end was wrecked and Romano suffered two broken legs.

Open Wheelers
In 1986, Bap Romano decided to also race in the Australian Drivers' Championship and although he missed most of the year recovering from his injuries, he still finished in third place in the 1986 Australian Drivers' Championship driving a Ralt RT4, winning his final open wheel race of the season in Round 3 of the championship at Wanneroo Park Raceway in Perth.

Bap Romano also drove in some rounds of the 1989 Australian Drivers' Championship in a Spa FB001 Formula Holden.

V8 Supercars
After Bap Romano disappeared from the racing scene in the late 1980s to concentrate on his business interests in Brisbane, Romano Racing was founded on the Gold Coast in 1995 when Bap Romano purchased a Holden VP Commodore from Logamo for his son Paul to race. The team competed in all races of the 1995 season. The team was disbanded at the end of the year with Romano racing a Ford EF Falcon for Alan Jones Racing in 1996. After this arrangement came to an end, Romano Racing was reformed for 1997 with the Commodore upgraded to VS specifications.

Romano continued to race the VS until it made its last appearance at the 2001 Australian Grand Prix support race. To allow Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) to enter four cars in the 2001 series, and circumnavigate a restriction that allowed only with only three cars able to be entered under each Level 1 franchise, the Romano Racing franchise were leased to TWR. The Romano franchise was used by TWR to enter the K-Mart Racing cars, while the Romano car was entered under the Holden Young Lions banner as part of the Holden Racing Team franchise. A Rod Nash Racing VX Commodore was leased for the first few rounds, until a TWR VX became available and was purchased.

At the end of 2002 the Level 1 franchise was sold to Team Dynamik and a Level 2 franchise purchased from McDougall Motorsport. Romano raced at the Adelaide 500 in 2003, with the franchise then leased out on occasions to other teams in 2004 including Paul Morris Motorsport and Walden Motorsport. In 2005 it was leased to Perkins Engineering. In 2009, the franchise was sold to Walkinshaw Racing. The team today runs in relevance as Blanchard Racing Team running the No.3 Ford Mustang for Tim Slade

URI revokes sorority's charter following alcohol violation
SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. (AP) — The University of Rhode Island and an international women's fraternity have revoked the charter of a campus sorority for five years for an alleged violation of school policy involving alcohol.
WLNE-TV reports that the university's investigation didn't find evidence of hazing at Alpha Phi, which was already on social probation.
A statement from URI officials said credible reports indicated that the incident "may have endangered the health and safety of the new members."
The incident occurred earlier this year on bid day, the culmination of the sorority recruitment process.
The involvement of alcohol is a violation of university policy, the national probation restrictions and Pan-Hellenic recruitment standards.
It's unclear if Alpha Phi's URI charter will be automatically re-established in 2021.

MRS Impact 2022: A round-up
Posted on March 29, 2022 by Braden MacDonald
Thoughts on the Market Research Society's Impact 2022 event by our newest Mustard recruit.
After joining the world of MRX only a few months ago, I was excited to attend my first professional event and learn more about the people, trends and the contribution of data and insights. Learning is a treasure that follows its owner everywhere, so as someone with a communications background, I was eager to get to grips with the industry to see what I can apply in my new role at Mustard.
The Market Research Society hosted their annual Impact event virtually from the 16th-17th March. This year's theme was all about 'Re-invention', a very timely subject considering that we're only just coming out of our battle against Covid-19 and continuing to adapt to significant shifts and changes in the insights sector.
The event opened with a keynote interview by Lady Brenda Hale, former President of the Supreme Court. It was incredible to listen to Lady Hale talk about her extensive and impressive career and the adversities she's overcome as a woman. She was one of the only women to attend Cambridge in her class, and pioneered her way through the legal industry, which led her to become Britain's first female Law Lord in 2004, the first woman to serve on the UK's new Supreme Court in 2009, and its first woman President in 2017.
Another eye-opening session was a panel discussion that explored the state of diversity, equality, and inclusion in market research. Andrew Cannon, Executive Director at Global Research Business Network, chaired the session and enlightened viewers on the research he undertook on workplace culture, which demonstrated just how much room there is to develop when it comes to accommodating minorities in the workplace – whether it be based on their ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender. As Charlene Adamah, Co-Founder of Colour of Research, quite rightly summarised, "It's now time for steps to be taken to fix discrimination in the workplace and discuss how to take action."
One of my personal favourites was a session chaired by Rhea Fox, Chief Digital Officer at Paperchase, who spoke with Mike Bowen, Principal Researcher at Spotify and Sydney Stanback, Global Advertiser Researcher (Brand Research) at Pinterest. They spoke at length on re-imaging how data and research can work together and where to focus skills to enable collaboration. To do this, they gave three critical rules:
1. Managing time is vital, especially in a fast-paced environment
2. Identify the resources you have and what's needed to help the relationship between data and research
3. Use the right people, adhere to other people's strengths as much as your own
To round out day one, Jenny Lindsay, Director of Client Services at buzzback, presented a discussion based on buzzback's latest study on happiness. A very timely subject that explored what values and initiatives consumers associate most with happiness and how brands utilise these components to ensure they meet consumers' needs. The discussion centred around the necessity to take value in the small things in life, which was emphasised by Dieter Deceuninck, Global Director of Strategy and Insights at Danone Waters. He explained that focusing on the small things that bring happiness (eating, spending time with loves ones, etc.) ultimately creates significant steps into happiness – which is critical during times of hardship and political unrest.
Day two of MRS' Impact event saw Matt Drew, Head of Customer Research and Analytics at Very and Sam Gardner, Partner & Director of Analytics at Boxclever, explore how researchers and marketeers can utilise hybrid segmentation. Matt and Sam went in-depth on how we can validate and refine consumers and ultimately expand vision – using a bottom-up approach to understand segments, differentiate consumers and understand how their behaviours mould their attitudes and needs.
Crispin Beale, Group President at Behaviorally and CEO of Insights 250 and Tony Costella, Director of Global Consumer & Marketing Insights at Heineken (Netherlands), also gave a thoroughly interesting opinion-debate on how technology, culture, and other levers can be used to innovate and lead in the world of insight and data.
Finally, James Timpson OBE, Chief Executive at The Timpson Group, gave an inspiring keynote interview on the history of Timpson and how it's been consistently rated as one the UK's best companies to work for, for almost 20 years. Citing benefits such as mental health support, and strategies regarding the training and employment of disadvantaged people, Timpson spoke at length about how these factors are crucial in creating an effective and impactful work environment that stands out amongst other companies.
It was fantastic to see how well the Market Research Society accommodated such valuable and necessary conversations in a virtual space – through interviews, panels and live questions and answers – the level of engagement didn't waver. However, now that live events are back in action, I'm excited for next year's Impact event even more where I will be able to meet people in person and ask questions #IRL.
It was quite ironic that the Market Research Society named their annual event 'Impact' because it became clear that communication significantly impacts the market research and insights industry. Without it, all these magnificent findings go unnoticed, and the value of research is not clear. Watching all these sessions over two days proved that any research and insights company's reputation, productivity, and general success are dependent on communication, and I'm more excited than ever to get going and delve into the world of communicating MRX and insights.


I have the SMSL M10 arriving tomorrow. I know on paper it is not as robust as the D70 (it's more comparable to the DX7s), but I am still pretty pumped to see how it pairs with the THX.
I guess AKM are a bit behind ESS in this area (or more honest), but it looks like switching chips makes Topping's life a bit harder in terms of improving SINAD.
He didn't forget - it hadn't yet been announced.
So how is the pairing of the M10 and the 789 ?
It looks like a giant killer.
Usually a standalone DAC might measure better than a combo, mostly because there's no PCB and PSU sharing, no EMI/RFI from additional transformer or boost/buck regulators.
Volume regulator? Not sure the scenario, but I assume you're referring to the volume knob, right? It's a rotary knob that controls DAC output volume (volume control it's built-in DAC chip).
Volume control build in DAC chip degrade sound qualiry. I prefer resistor ladder like in NuPrime.
If so, D70 is a completely unsuitable product for you.
However, if you set the RCA output to the fixed output mode and then add a ladder resistor type volume, you get the desired behavior.
This is not per our choice, is built-in by manufacturer and enabled later by the designer. From all tests done by manufacturers, the 32-bit volume control built-into the DAC chips are perfectly fine. However, you can add a ladder resistor later and keep the in-chip volume to the max., but that means DIY and tinkering.
- lowest background noise possible and best SNR-ever, especially if the chip can be firmware programmed to deliver 4.5V RMS (feel free to add a resisitve ladder to Topping D10/30/50/70 and compare measurements with volume to 1/2 under both scenarios).
- cheaper to implement, without adding any active or passive components around.
- no Johnson noise, like the ladder resistors or regular pots.
- however, a noisy input stage (if exists) or a a higher gain-stage (>5X) will make the amplifier less compatible with sensitive headphones (8-16 Ohms IEMs); a resisitve volume control between the DAC outputs (or voltage gain, like O2) and the output buffer may help here a bit.
- with regular resistive volume control it takes me half of sec. (1 turn of pot.) to get the volume from max. to min., instead with digital volume I need 3-4 turns of the rotary knob to do that (I like analog pot. more here because it's faster).
On the contrary. If DAC uses enough bits inside to calculate it, it is the only method to change volume without any degradation. I am afraid you have no idea how things work. For example ESS DAC uses 48bit (!) word length inside to calculate volume. This is completely audibly transparent and shoud be used wherever possible.
Resistors ladders are great though for amps volume control instead of standard carbon path pots, as long as ladder is built from high precision, SMD resistors (lack of inductance because of no legs for through the hole soldering). You can have then perfect channel balance + very small impact for the sound. Good quality ones like DACTs are extremely expensive but there are a lot of simple contructed stuff on ebay from China which do the job decently.
Still PGA laser trimmed electronic resistors ladder with some encoder can be better solution - you don't have to clean it from time to time to avoid scratching sound during switching steps (once the oxidation or some pollution got inside the mechanism).
Built-in DAC volume control has the perfect channel volume match ever, not even +/-0.1dB difference. It's also easier to control it via software and remote control, no need for expensive motorized pots.
However, a pot in the middle, placed somewhere between the gain stage and output buffer will definitely lower the output background noise and very sensitive IEMs will feel better with pots instead of DAC's digital volume control. Basically, between the DAC and headphones jack there's no electronic active or passive circuit to lower the background noise, so all the internal noises of the components will end up in the headphones. So, lot of care in the layout design and care when choosing the low-noise components as well are needed.
Basically, between the DAC and headphones jack there's no electronic active or passive circuit to lower the background noise, so all the internal noises of the components will end up in the headphones.
I guess this digital volume control itself on the DAC's side, has no bigger impact than a lot of what's going on inside the DAC itself during signal processing. I guess you meant lowering general internal noises from the DAC itself, not the digital volume alone. But this depends how well PCB is designed, how speed signal part is separated from analog output part, how many layers is being used, how were ground/VCC planes placed, is the ground connected in a star fashion + all kind of EMI/EMC requirements met.
I used to design this kind of circuits, also measuring very small signals using differential circuits, filtering in digital & analog domains, processing them with multi point calibration for some non-linear sensors. Difference between bad and state of the art implementation using exactly the same components can be drastic.
I'm only thinking that between the DAC and the headphones jack there are lot of active and passive components that generate electrical and thermal noise. Placing a resistive potentiometer or ladder array between DAC's output stage and gain stage of the headphones amplifier will reduce the background noise. Of course, this may only help with >100dB/mW low-impedance headphones.
My test IEM's are Superlux HD381f having 16 Ohms internal DC-resistance, 103dB/mw, 120.5dB/V sensitivity. To drive them with peaks around 100dB (normal peaks for an average listening of 80-85dBFS) the amplifier needs to apply 90mV RMS, so an amplifier with less than 9uV of background noise will be needed for an attenuation of 80dB (usually we don't really hear a noise 80dB lower than music's peaks). So it's really hard for an amplifier to provide such low numbers, especially if internal gain is high (>5X) and there's no resistive divider in there to lower the output volume.
P.S.: With volume to the max. (input RCA shorted, no music playing) Burson PLAY v1.6 with AD8599/AD797 and custom linear PSU is having the lowest background noise from all my amps (compared with Matrix M-Stage HPA-3B with medium-gain, Objective2 with a gain of 3.3X, Burson FUN, ASUS Essence One). For the above "test", the analogue volume control was set to around 7V RMS with 1KHz sines, then all input sources went muted, so I can wear the sensitive IEMs and A/B test the internal noise. If notching down the analogue volume controls down to zero value, then Objective2, HPA-3B, Essence One and FUN are the winners, in that specific order, then follows the PLAY combo. Of course, the noise difference I'm speaking about are so tiny that during the day this test can't take place, so only during a very quiet night this can happen.
Volume control build in DAC chip degrade sound qualiry.
I've seen the measurements, pls don't tease me now, I'm so sensitive to this.
So is this thing actually announced and available for purchase? And, when will we see products coming out using the AK4499EQ chip?
And, when will we see products coming out using the AK4499EQ chip?
Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation, (AKM), has developed a new D/A converter, (DAC), the AK4499EQ. It is the latest, "VELVET SOUND|VERITA", product, following the prior generation flagship DAC, the AK4497EQ. The AK4499 adopts Current Output architecture, which is the first among AKM products. It achieves the world's highest class of low THD+N and high S/N. Samples will be available in January, 2019, and Mass Production starts from May, 2019.

Kevin Patrick Shields (born 21 May 1963) is an Irish musician, singer-songwriter, composer and producer, best known as the vocalist and guitarist of the alternative rock band My Bloody Valentine. As a teenager, Shields performed in a number of small unsuccessful bands in Dublin, Ireland before forming My Bloody Valentine with drummer Colm Ó Cíosóig in 1983. The band, which initially experienced little success, became influential on the progression of alternative rock with their two original studio albums, Isn't Anything (1988) and Loveless (1991)—both of which pioneered a subgenre known as shoegazing. Shields' texturised guitar sound, and his experimentation with his guitars' tremolo systems, resulted in the creation of the "glide guitar" technique, which became a recognisable aspect of My Bloody Valentine's sound along with his meticulous production techniques.
Following My Bloody Valentine's dissolution in the late 1990s, Shields was a frequent guest musician, producer, engineer and remixer with various bands and artists, including Experimental Audio Research, Yo La Tengo, Dinosaur Jr and Mogwai. He became a touring member of Primal Scream in 1998 and contributed original compositions to the soundtrack of Sofia Coppola 's 2003 film Lost in Translation, which earned him nominations for British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) and Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) awards. In 2008, Shields released The Coral Sea, a collaborative live album with Patti Smith.
My Bloody Valentine reunited in 2007 and released their third studio album, m b v, in February 2013. The album, composed entirely by Shields, was in production since the late 1990s when Shields was rumoured to have been suffering from writer's block and mental illness; which led to comparisons in the press between him and other musicians such as Syd Barrett and Brian Wilson. Shields has since been featured on several publications best-of-lists, including Rolling Stone 's 100 Greatest Guitarist and Spin 's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. Multiple musicians, including Billy Corgan and J Mascis, have also cited him as an influence.

Q: Describe $\Bbb{R}[x]/(x^2 + 1)$ First by previous knowledge, I do know that $\Bbb{R}[x]/(x^2 + 1) \cong \Bbb{C}$, so this might seem trivial. But I am not here to ask about that and I don't want to use this fact
I am reading Dummit and Foote on Chapter 13 and this example (pg 515) describes the field as "an extension of degree $2$ of $\Bbb{R}$ in which $x^2 + 1$ has a root". I am not sure what this sentence means.
First there was a theorem that stated the basis elements of $K = \Bbb{R}[x]/(p(x))$ as described by $\theta \equiv  x\pmod{p(x)}$ and preceding paragraphs describe multiplication in the quotient ring.
Okay here is the actual question, they described the elements as $a + b\theta$ with $a,b\in \Bbb{R}[x]$. How do we arrive at that form? There is no talk about the isomorphism to $\Bbb{C}$ until much later.
I do not not see how setting $x^2 + 1 \equiv 0$ turns $a_0 + a_1x + a_2x^2 + \dots a_nx^n\to a_0 + a_1x$
.

A: In $\mathbb{R}[x]/(1+x^2)$, $[x]$ (that is, $x+(x^2+1)$) is a root of the equation $x^2+1=0$, since $[x]^2+1=[x^2+1]=0$.
And if $p(x)\in\mathbb{R}[x]$ there are polynomials $q(x),r(x)\in\mathbb{R}[x]$ such that $p(x)=q(x)\times(x^2+1)+r(x)$ and $\deg r(x)\leqslant 1$. So, $r(x)=a+bx$ for some real numbers $a$ and $b$ and$$\bigl[p(x)\bigr]=\bigl[r(x)\bigr]=[a+bx]=a+b[x].$$

A: Well, if $x^2+1\equiv 0$ then $x^2\equiv -1$.  That means that whenever you see $x^2$, you can replace it with $-1$.  So for instance, $x^3\equiv -x$, $x^4\equiv -x^2\equiv 1$, $x^5\equiv -x^3\equiv x$, and so on.  In this way a polynomial of any degree can be reduced to a linear polynomial.
(This "reduction" process on powers of $x$ is in fact the same as the polynomial division algorithm used in the other answer, but it is often very helpful to think through the process inside the quotient ring instead of in the original polynomial ring.)

Lorenzo Hubbell Trading Post, once the premier Trading Post Company of the American southwest territories. is now Winslow's Chamber of Commerce/Visitor Center. This location is a historic destination unto itself. At the Visitor Center, travelers will find historic displays, great architecture, racks of information about Winslow, the region and the state of Arizona. A friendly staff with a wealth of knowledge is ready to assist visitors to Winslow make the most of their travels.
Enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities at Clear Creek Reservoir. Activities include swimming, fishing, hiking and picnicking. With a canoe, (rentals available) one can follow the creek along Clear Creek Canyon, a magnificent deep rock waterway. This place is one of Northern Arizona's best-kept secrets that locals have enjoyed for over 100 years. If you're looking for an amazing place to stop, relax and cool down, this is the spot.
It's a rare person who has not heard the famous line from the Eagles' first hit single, "Take It Easy."

Winslow's crown jewel and an American Treasure is La Posada. This amazing piece of historic architecture is often referred to as the last great trackside hotel in the country. It is ranked as one of the Top Ten Historic Hotels in the United States. Originally a Fred Harvey House (America's first hotel/restaurant chain) it was the finest and most expensive of all of the hotels built for the Santa Fe Railroad Co. Constructed in 1929, this legendary "resting place" is the masterpiece of Mary Jane Colter, one of America's most renowned female architects. Revered by modern day designers…she is often called the grandmother of American Southwest architecture. Closed for decades, the grounds were watered and preserved by a few visionary citizens. The hotel was purchased before it was destroyed and has been beautifully restored.
Located in the heart of Winslow's historic district, the Old Trails Museum is an outstanding source of discovery for Winslow's unique and interesting history. It houses numerous exhibits and collections including ancient Native American artifacts, Santa Fe Railroad equipment that includes tools of the industry and Fred Harvey memorabilia, original western art, Wild West territory information, Route 66, Meteor Crater and much more.

The Fed hikes but Powell utters the words "rate cuts", markets turn bearish
The Fed raises interest rates in the US for the third time this year and the Dollar moves higher across the board, but is that what investors are focusing on? Clearly Powell's press conference last night was nothing short of complicated and the combination of bullish and bearish comments need to be deciphered if we're to get an understanding of what lies ahead. Equities are starting the day in the red this morning while Gold is also testing the bottom end of its consolidation range.
The interest rate decision was not the event of the day as Jerome Powell's press conference and his remarks on the state of the economy and Fed's guidance were bound to steal the spotlight - and they did. The head of the Fed was happy about the progress of the domestic market, he hinted that another move in December is the most likely scenario but - and this is an interesting "but" - he went one step further. Powell said that depending on the way inflation rises or slows down, the Fed is ready to speed up their hiking pace or, and here's the cheese, cut rates.
A comment like this from a seasoned policymaker like Powell cannot go unnoticed because saying that they might slow down the pace of hiking is one thing but mentioning rate cuts is totally different. We do think that the odds of such an event are between slim and none but the important takeaway is that the bulls were not satisfied. This is why what we're seeing in the markets this morning is a mild but coordinated risk aversion rally: the Dollar is gaining across its peers with the exception of the Yen while equities are preparing to open in the red.
At the same time, there's a number of US-related data pending for release today which should print in favor of the greenback and will contribute to its rally. The Gross Domestic Product report and the Durable Goods Orders data will hint on a further upside for the Dollar if they print strong as predicted and will increase the pressure on the rest of the currencies. The Euro is testing the 1.17 support at this time, pressured not only by the gaining Dollar, but also by concerns about Italy's budget discussion later today. There's a rumor that the meeting will be delayed hinting towards unresolved differences within the coalition government. However, the broader outlook of the currency is positive, based on strong data and ECB optimism, so even if we break below 1.17 the Euro will likely find support around the 1.1650 area. The Pound is on a similar tone, with support found at the 1.3050 level and with investors already heavily short on the UK currency we wouldn't expect a deeper correction.
Gold is responding the way we expected solidifying our view that its price action is currently tied to the Dollar and the "safe haven" trait of the instrument is simply on hold. Even though markets are on a risk-off mode this morning, the yellow metal is dropping pressured by the gains in the Dollar; the question though is whether it will break the $1,190 support, if it does we're looking at $1,180 and $1,170, otherwise a reversal towards $1,210 is likely. Oil is on the rise again testing the weekly $72.50 highs and we now need to see whether it will break higher en route to $73-74.
Finally, equities are about to open in the red on both sides of the Atlantic while Asia is already trading below water. Clearly equities' bulls were not happy that the head of the Fed appeared so uncertain about the progress of inflation and the broader state of the domestic market to mention the words "rate cuts". However, we need to see how traders will react when we receive the fresh US data later in the day and whether a string of positive figures will help alleviate their worries.

Q: File.listFiles() conflicts with directory deletion Does File.listFiles() behave obtrusively in a directory? Does it hold file and/or directory handles? Does it cd into the directory?
One of my processes is calling Java's File.listFiles() on a directory, and another is trying to delete the same directory (e.g. using C#'s Directory.Delete(DIRECTORY, true);). The deletion is failing with "The directory is not empty" (which is a Windows error message). My suspicion is that the File.listFiles() is somehow getting in the way, although it's only performing a read operation.
NB: the Java process reads the directory recursively (if it finds subdirs, it reads those too). Thus, it's quite possible that the
Directory.Delete(DIRECTORY, true)
is in fact clashing with
(new File(SUBDIRECTORY)).listFiles()
Obviously the Java reader of SUBDIRECTORY is holding some kind of handle on SUBDIRECTORY. Would that prevent the deletion of the parent DIRECTORY?

A: I have now confirmed that File.list() (but probably also File.listFiles()) can indeed cause this. See my comments above, as well as the gory details in the corresponding TeamCity bug report.

Educational Consultancy and School Placement — University Placement —
Students who are particularly passionate about their subject, seeking to pursue a career in academia or better equip themselves for the job market may decide to apply for postgraduate education after completing their undergraduate degree. Generally a Master's degree lasts one year, while Doctorates (PhDs) take three to four.
Increasingly more students in the UK are opting to study for a Master's degree before applying for jobs, and many courses are oriented towards a specific vocation, with lots of universities offering popular Master's degrees for Management, Marketing, Journalism, Law, Public Policy and International Development. For some career paths, having a MA degree is thus a significant advantage when applying for jobs, and can even be essential. Other students may study a Master's simply because they love their subject and want to build on what they learned at undergraduate, for example by specialising in a particular field of literature, history or science.
A variety of different postgraduate degrees are available in the UK, and they are grouped by subject fields, for example:
Master of Arts, MA: a Master's degree in a humanities subject
Master of Science, MSc: a Master's degree in a science subject
Master of Business Administration, MBA: a Master's degree in business management
Master of Law, LLM: postgraduate qualification for entry into legal practice
Postgraduate Certificate in Education, PGСЕ: postgraduate qualification for teaching.
To see our interactive graph explaining how Postgraduate degrees relate to the entire UK education system click here.
Pre-Masters Courses for international students
For students who completed their undergraduate abroad and therefore may not qualify for direct entry into a UK Master's degree, we can arrange pre-Masters courses which last three months to a year. These courses are run in association with top UK universities and are designed to equip students with the necessary English language, research and writing skills for UK postgraduate study. They also provide essential background knowledge for students who have not adequately specialised in the field they seek to pursue for their Master's or have changed discipline, and help familiarise international students with the UK education system.
If you would like to pursue postgraduate education in the UK, but are unsure about the application process or different options on offer, please get in touch and we will would be happy to help. Through our partnerships with leading British universities we can arrange pre-Masters courses for you and support you in applying for the programme of your choice. We can also advise you on how far a particular Master's degree may help you in pursuing the career of your choice, and let you know which programmes are deemed the most prestigious.

Discussion in 'Basses [BG]' started by BassistGod, Nov 13, 2003.
Maybe you guys who have experience with building basses can help me out. Lately, I've been entertaining the idea of putting together a bass from warmoth parts. Specifically a Gecko.
I have a rough idea of what I want for the neck/ body wood. But as for pickups and electrronics, I'm really undecided. I'm looking at going with the pups and pre's they sell on the site.
As of now I'm leaning toward seymour duncan active pu's with an aguilar obp3 preamp.
I want a versatile sounding bass, but if I had to choose, I would take a growlier more aggresive sound over smooth and mellow.
Anybody have input as to what would be a good choice? I have no experience with any of the pups or pre's they offer so I'd like to hear what users have to say.
Hers a link to what warmoth offers for pups and pre's. Pretty limited, so expand my knowledge with other choices if you think they're better.
I built a Gecko with Basslines ASB2-5's & an Aguilar OBP-1 & the basses sounded great!!!!!
...a growlier more aggresive sound over smooth and mellow.
Also, the woods you use would also dictate the sound you'll end up with. An Ash body w/maple fretboard will be more to your liking than a Mahogany body with Rosewood ffetboard.
Thanks for the advice nino.
You are the resident warmouth pro.
So you think the EMG with have a more aggresive tone versus the seymour duncan?... I'm not nessecarily after cutting highs but more focused mids almost like a warwick. Also, can anybody comment on the seymour duncan active cicuit with the slap contour..
BTW I'm thinking of going with an all wenge neck and ash body.
My 2 cents: The passive 5-string Jazz pu's from Duncan are growly in a vintage Jbass way, not too hi-fi. Like all true single-coils, they hum when you solo one of them, though. The Dimarzio Ultra-Jazz 5's are good, too, and match the string spacing of the Medium 5 Gecko pretty well. They're not shown on the site, but we should be able to order them - not as edgy but quiet.
Do a "Warmoth" search here and you'll find a discussion of wenge necks as well as Groovecenter's newest project, which uses the Dimarzio's and the OBP-3.
Edit: Between the EMG's and the Duncan ASB soapbars, the EMG's are edgier and the Duncan's are smoother. The passive J's above are more vintage-edgy.
The guy above me is the Warmoth pro. He works there!
Anyway, I've heard a lot of people say that once you are actually finished with the Gecko, it turns out to not be that great of a value. Most people who I know who own one (1 person) regrets buying the kit and says that it was a complete waste of his time.
It all depends on what you consider to be a waste of time.
I've built about 10-15 Warmoth basses/guitars. I've learned alot with each project & each one turned out better then the last.
I've personally compared them to most "production" basses (Fender, MusicMan, G&L, Yamaha, Jackson, etc) & almost every Warmoth I've built was FAR supirior to basses that costs hundreds more.
My most recent one BLOWS AWAY anay Fender bass I've compared it to.
Well, i'm gonna bulid me a custom warmoth fretless myself when i get the money....it's gonna be awesome!
I'm just worried about the costs of getting teh fingerboard epoxied...200-300 dollars is a bit too much IMO. But that shouldnt be a issue with a fretted bass, sorry .
Amyway, Warmoth has exremely stable necks and very high quality woods. If you want an aggresive, growly tone, EMG DC's or CS' would do the trick.
Oh, I see there was a little discussion while I was away at class.
Bwbass, thanks for the input on the pups.
Now my head is buzzing with questions about the pickups mentioned? Is it okay to do different combinations like active pu's with an active pre or passive pu's with an active pre? Is there a preferred combination?
Bwbass. Is it okay to purchase the neck and body now and then when I decide on pups, have the body routed for them? The reason being, I already have my eyes set on certain pieces in the showcase.
You do know they offer more than just the fender headstock right....?
oh of course, i dont like any of the angled ones listed on the site though lol. i like the 4 in line look and to my knowledge the fender headstock is the only type they make in that configuration. correct me if i am wrong.
Beautiful basses! It's pics like these that make me want to build a Warmoth, but I don't have the money and wouldn't trust myself.
No problem with passive pickups/active preamp (think Sadowsky, Lakland, etc.) or active pickups/active preamp (think Spectors or anything with EMG's) The thing you don't want to do is mix active and passive _pickups_ in the same bass.
If you want to pick something up from the Showcase, we'll want to know the routing when you place the order. Of course with some pickup shapes, like Jbass routs, there are many different pickups which will fit the same routing. Same with soapbar routs - bartolini makes passive models the same shape as the Duncan and EMG active soapbars.
Hey Mr. Goode! Do you think you could make me a wenge and maple P-Bass wide fretless bass neck with a 13* angled headstock, with your Fatback contour used in your 8 string bass necks? I got a mail from a dude at warmoth (i hope it wasn't you ) that said it would be too time consuming. Why??
That email was probably from Ken Warmoth, my boss! The short answer is because he says so!
How much did it cost you to build this bass? Looks hot.
How much did it cost you to make that first bass?
Okay I have narrowed my pickup choices down to the Duncan ASB-5's soapbars and the SJB5 Passive Stack Jazz Pickups. I have tried searching for more info on these but I came up empty.
I like the idea of passive pu's so that I won't need to rely on a battery, (plus I can always add a preamp later.) But I don't know much about the tone of the passive stacks. Anyone have experience with'em?
From what Nino says, the ASB-5's sound good. Anybody else think they're worth getting?

Blocked for now, Biden administration's vaccine-or-test mandate for workers faces uncertain future
The White House on Nov. 8 said businesses should move forward with President Joe Biden's vaccine and testing requirements for private businesses, despite a federal appeals court ordering a temporary halt to the rules.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, considered one of the most conservative appellate courts in the country, halted the requirements Nov. 6 pending review, writing that "the petitions give cause to believe there are grave statutory and constitutional issues with the Mandate."
The Republican attorneys general in five states, as well as several companies, requested the pause. They argued that the requirements exceed the authority of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which will enforce the mandates, and amount to an unconstitutional delegation of power to the executive branch by Congress.
In its Nov. 8 response, the Biden administration asked the court to lift the pause, dismissing the states' and companies' claims of harm as "premature" given that the deadlines for vaccination and testing are not until January. The administration claimed that pausing the requirements "would likely cost dozens or even hundreds of lives per day" as the virus spreads. The Labor and Justice Departments also argued that OSHA acted within its authority as established by Congress.
The court-ordered pause came a day after the requirements went into effect, starting the countdown for businesses with 100 or more employees to ensure their staff have received the shots required for full vaccination by Jan. 4. After that date, unvaccinated workers must submit a negative Covid-19 test weekly to enter the workplace. All unvaccinated workers must start wearing face masks indoors at their workplaces starting Dec. 5.
The ETS requires:
• establishing, implementing and enforcing a written Mandatory Vaccination Policy with an exception for employers that instead establish, implement, and enforce a policy allowing employees who are not fully vaccinated to elect to undergo weekly COVID-19 testing and wear a face covering at the workplace (OSHA has provided sample Mandatory Vaccination Policy and a sample Vaccination or Testing and Face Covering Policy; and
• determining the vaccination status of each covered employee;
• keeping vaccination records for all fully vaccinated covered employees;
• providing paid time off for covered employees to get vaccinated and/or to recover from vaccination side effects;
• requiring COVID-19 test results from unvaccinated covered employees every seven days. (There are exceptions to this requirement based on when covered employees report to a workplace. Dealer employers need not pay for required COVID-19 testing.);
• taking specific actions when an employee tests positive for COVID-19;
• requiring unvaccinated covered employees to wear face masks generally while indoors or in vehicles with other persons; and
• allowing most covered employees to voluntarily wear face masks.
OSHA has issued FAQs on the rule. Among other things, the FAQs clarify that:
• For purposes of the 100-employee threshold, a single corporate entity with multiple locations must count all employees at those locations. For example, a dealership group with five stores with a total of at least 100 employees must comply with the ETS even if some of those dealerships have fewer than 100 employees. With regard to the issue of whether affiliated companies under common control (for example, a chain of dealerships owned by a single parent corporation) must be treated as one employer, the ETS notice states: [T]wo or more related entities may be regarded as a single employer … if they handle safety matters as one company, in which case the employees of all entities making up the integrated single employer must be counted.
• Part-time, off-site and remote employees count toward the 100-employee threshold.
Attorneys general in at least 26 states have challenged Biden's vaccine and testing requirements in five different U.S. appeals courts since Nov. 5. The Republican National Committee said it has also challenged the requirements in the D.C. Court of Appeals.
It's unclear which court will ultimately decide the case. When multiple petitions are filed in at least two courts, the cases are consolidated in one of those courts through a lottery system. The Justice Department said in a Nov. 8 filing that the lottery is expected take place on or around Nov. 16. The Biden administration said the courts should not rule until the jurisdiction for the consolidated case has been selected.
David Vladeck, a professor of law at Georgetown University, said there's a "high probability" that the case will end up before the Supreme Court.
OSHA, which polices workplace safety for the Labor Department, developed the vaccine and testing requirements under emergency authority established by Congress. That authority allows the agency to shortcut the process to issue workplace safety standards, which normally takes years.
The Labor Department's top lawyer, Seema Nanda, said Nov. 5 that the Biden administration is "fully prepared to defend this standard in court."
Nanda said the law "explicitly gives OSHA the authority to act quickly in an emergency where the agency finds that workers are subjected to a grave danger and a new standard is necessary to protect them."
Nanda also said the vaccine and testing requirements supersede "any state or local requirements that ban or limit an employer's authority to require vaccination, face-covering, or testing." Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order last month banning vaccine mandates in the Lone Star State.
OSHA emergency workplace safety standards have a mixed track record in court. Prior to the vaccine requirements, the agency had issued 10 such standards in its 50-year history. Courts halted or overturned four of those standards, and a fifth was partially vacated.
More than 750,000 people have died in the U.S. from Covid since the pandemic began, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 1,100 people a day die from Covid, and more than 71,000 people a day are newly infected, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
"If that's not a grave danger, I don't know what else is," Nanda said.

Q: How to raise an integer to fractional power efficiently? I have an binary search implemented in python.
Now I want to check if element math.floor(n ^ (1/p)) is in my binary search.
But p is a very, very large number. I wrote using fractions module:
binary_search.search(list,int (n**fractions.Fraction('1'+'/'+str(p))))

But I have an error OverflowError: integer division result too large for a float
How can I take to n to the power, which is a fraction and do it fast?

A: Unless your values of n are also incredibly large, floor(n^(1/p)) is going to tend toward 1 for "very, very large" values of p.  Since you're only interested in the integer portion, you could get away with a simple loop   to test if 1^P, 2^p, 3^p and so on are greater than n.
Don't waste time finding exact values if you don't need them.

A: n^(1/p)=exp(ln(n)/p) ~~ 1+ln(n)/p for big p values
So you can compare p with natural logarithm of n. If the ratio p/ln(n) >> 1 (much larger), then you can use approximation above (which tends to 1)
