Audiophiliacs: Why Do They Have So Many Headphones?
Gabby Bloch
If you're new to the headphone game, you may be wondering why audiophiles own multiple pairs of cans. The first answer is that we're very sick people. But it's also more complicated than a mere pathological condition. So, let's take a close look at the psychology behind Audiophiliacs: Why Do They Have So Many Headphones?
Different Sound for Different Needs
Musical genre, application and state of mind are all factors that an audiophile considers when purchasing a headphone. So, let's talk balance, sound signature and headphone design.
Flat Balance
A headphone's balance will obviously have an effect on how you hear a song. For example, you may start out with a headphone that has a relatively even balance. And a headphone with an even balance can reasonably handle all genres. Because the low, mid and high frequencies are all given equal attention, nothing is lost in the mix. The brand, AKG, is well known for making headphones that have a flat balance. And for this reason, many musicians and mixers will use their cans; it's an honest representation of the mix because none of the frequencies are artificially accentuated or recessed. It's also a good choice for fans of classical music; the low-end doesn't weigh down the strings, and it keeps the timbre sounding natural and realistic. But bass still exists in classical music, so you don't want it missing altogether.
The only problem with very evenly balanced headphones is that, for some, this kind of profile can get boring. Where's the bass oomph? Where's the sparkle in the highs? Maybe you need something more dynamic?
Dynamic Balance
Those who want something a little more energetic, may opt for a more "V-shaped" or "U-shaped" sound signature. This means that the lower and higher frequencies are emphasized, while the mids are more recessed. V-shaped sound signatures are the extreme example, while the mids on a U-shaped signature are a little less recessed. This kind of sound signature works well for pop, for example. You get a punchy bass, and vocals (in U-shapes) often shine through the mix. In a very V-shaped profile, you may hear less prominent vocals (especially male vocals), as they tend to mostly exist in the midrange. Percussion will also sound extra crisp and snappy. And in general, the dramatic contrast between the lows and high makes for a very vibrant feel. Some rock fans prefer V or U-shaped sound signatures for this reason as well. The Fostex TH900 is a popular example of a V-ish sound signature.
The only problem with V-shaped sound signatures is that the mix can feel a hollow in the middle. And those who like a very full-bodied and expansive sound may feel that something is missing. And this is why U-shapes are so popular. You'll get that vibrant feel without sacrificing too much body in the middle. An example of a moderately U-Shaped sound signature would be the Beyerdynamic DT 1770. You'll get some solid presence in the lows and some snap in the highs without losing body in the middle.
Light and Bright
Sometimes audiophiles like their balance on the lighter side, especially if they're listening to a lot of jazz or classical music. And a lighter, brighter headphone that's particularly transparent does a good job at highlighting the nuances of strings and brass in the higher frequencies, while avoiding putting too much weight on the instruments in the low frequencies. As mentioned above, the lack of low-end emphasis keeps the timbre sounding realistic and unadulterated, while helping the detail shine through in the mids. The brand, Grado is a good example of such a sound signature. The only problem with headphones that lean bright is that many of them often have a low end that too vegan for some genres. Starting to see why audiophiles need so many headphones?
Warm, Full-Bodied and Rich
Headphones with weighty bass frequencies and lows mids lend warmth to the mix. And these kind of sound signatures sometimes have more moderate high frequencies, though not always (See "Dynamic").
Speaking of low-mids, this frequency range is partly what lends body to a track. So, full-bodied signatures will often feel warm as well. However, you can have a full-bodied sound without a ton of warmth; ample low mids with more humble bass frequencies, for example. And in the same way, you can get warmth in the lows without much body in the midrange.
Many audiophiles also talk about the richness of a sound signature. The weight of the lower frequencies tends to lend "richness" to a mix. At the same time, there are many rich sounding headphones that don't have an extremely heavy low end. A good example is the brand, Focal. They produce planar magnetic headphones that don't have extremely heavy low-ends. But still, instruments convey ample substance, giving it a very luxurious feel. And a lot of audiophiles gravitate towards planar magnetic headphones because of the rich sound they tend to produce.
That being said, a great example of planar magnetic headphones that incorporate all three of these characteristics – warmth, body and richness – would be Audeze's line-up.
Open-Back vs Closed-Back
Finally, there's the choice between open-back and closed-back headphones. Often, open-back headphones give you more spacious and multidimensional soundstage than closed back headphones. The only problem is that they bleed sound and let sound in. Needless to say, open-back headphones don't fare well in the streets of Manhattan. And if you're recording vocals or listening to music next to your sleeping partner, you may have to compromise soundstage for the privacy and sound isolation of a closed-back. What does this mean for the audiophile? We must own both, an open-back and a closed-back headphone.
For the monogamous audiophile, one pair of fantastic headphones can be enough, especially if it has a versatile sound signature. But those who crave variety and like to fool around, the options are endless. You may want to spend a night with a V-shape and listen to pop. At the same time, you want to wake up in the morning next to a more neutral, even-keeled headphone and listen to Vivaldi. If you're in the mood for a steak, you may want a rich and full-bodied rock track. If you're on a diet…You get the idea. Finally, buying a great headphone is like getting your first tattoo. You'll always get another one, and at the end of the day, it's an addiction like anything else.

I'm not plastic: The..
I'm not plastic: The new Real Housewives of Melbourne revealed
Donna Demaio
"I'm not just a feisty b*tch that looks good," declared Venus Behbahani-Clark as she was introduced as a new cast member of Foxtel's The Real Housewives of Melbourne , which has been filming Season 4 around town for a few weeks.
The 35 year old mother of two has no qualms about joining the successful franchise but doesn't want people to be too quick to judge.
"Please, please don't judge a book by its cover. Get to know me. My heart is kind. Don't judge me by my looks," she told 3AW before confirming, 'I do believe in looking good so I have had a little bit of cosmetic work done but it's not that I'm all plastic."
Her children, aged seven and three, will appear in the series. And her oldest has already started asking questions about her mother's role in the show but Venus says she will not allow her children to watch.
Venus has seen the previous series, commenting on the cast. "All the girls have challenging personalities because they are smart girls. So we all have a little bit of guard there."
46 year old Gamble Breaux has enthusiastically returned to the show, hinting that while she had a "rough start" she's now having a great time despite sparks flying. "It's a treasure trove of trash and I'm so excited. I'm having a bit of fun with some new meat."
She also hinted that after just a few weeks, she already has some regrets, explaining "I was in a bad mood when we started, so I wasn't really myself for a while but I'm feeling normal now."
Gamble says the program has been good to her. "It's life changing. It gives you a platform not to do boring stuff. You're obviously up there to be made a bit of fun of, but that's all right."
Breaux also spoke of the stress involved in planning her stepson's 21st birthday party, revealing that it cost twice as much as her wedding.
The other new housewife is 51 year old Sally Bloomfield who, after talking to former Real Housewife Chyka Keebaugh, thought she'd give the show a go.

(Portland, Oregon) – Experts at the National Weather Service (NWS) are predicting largely drier-than usual conditions for spring along much of the western United States, with droughts continuing in many areas.
The drought looks to continue for many states, the NWS said in a recent release. States included in that prediction are California, Nevada, interior Oregon, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, southeast Colorado, western Oklahoma, and most of west Texas because of below-average rain or snow this winter and the onset of the dry season in April.
If the drought does persist in the Southwest and West, the NWS said an active fire season is likely.
Meanwhile, the agency predicts drought improvement for Washington, southeast Idaho, extreme northern and coastal Oregon, western and central sections of Nebraska and Kansas, central Oklahoma, and the Midwest.
More weather for the Oregon coast is found here; and general weather for Oregon is found here. See the Oregon Coast Science section for more scientific news about the Oregon coast, including meteorologic items.

Modern Convent High school | To develop a love of learning and a desire to continue to expand their knowledge and skills throughout their life.
The school has a separate block for Nursery, well equipped with play materials. Experienced teachers supervise the classes, based on a variety of children's activities, making sure the physical and intellectual growth of each child.
In Nursery school the children are introduced to formal curriculum and here they start with the deep foundation of education. Kids are taught different patterns like standing line, sleeping line, slanting line, forward curve and backward curve. These are all pre writing skills. Kids practice these patterns by doing rainbow writing on the patterns which makes the learning interesting and easy.
The primary school's Curriculam is designed to suit the learning capabilities and interests of students. The Primary School Program focuses on the child's unique potential both inside and outside the classroom.
This is the most important class which drills all the basic reading and writing skills in a child. The kids learn how to form words in English and Hindi. Vowels are introduced to form words. Each vowel is taught with phonic sound and the difference between all the vowels and their sounds is taught. Though it is a tough process yet the students start following the sounds and are able to capture the correct phonic sound. Later small sentences are formed and usage of grammar starts. Singular -plural, opposites, gender etc. In Hindi two, three and four letter words are introduced. Later matra's are taught and slowly and gradually children start writing words and small sentences. Mathematics is taught with the concept of HTO. Children are taught to add and subtract, the concepts of less than, more than, number names are introduced and tables are taught.
In middle school the main objective of this stage (VI to VIII) is to help the children make connections between the meaningful experiences in life and the courses of studies.
Middle School education is focused on assisting students through the transition from childhood to adolescence. Teachers do their best to support students as they go through many physical, emotional, and social changes, and are sensitive to this unique time of growth. They are passionate about helping students learn responsible academic habits, abstract and critical thinking skills, as well as independence and social skills.
To prepare students to face the Board examinations and other competitive exams, all our efforts are made at the high school levels. There is earnest endeavour to initiate all students in to sports and games and all cultural events in the school and outside.
Now the stage is set for shaping the future based on subject preferences and skills gained. During this stage, the main objective is to hone the knowledge and skills gained at the High school. The academic pattern in the senior section is characterized by flexibility and individuation. It focuses on the needs of individual students and offers a learner-centered approach. The acquisition of new knowledge is made more meaningful through opportunities to apply it. Projects, exhibitions, presentations or field trips ensure that the learner finds many avenues to see the theory in practice. In strict accordance with the spirit of Comprehensive and Continuous Evaluation.
"Modern Convent high School" is situated in Sheopur city of Madhya Pradesh. The school is situated in a peaceful, pollution free, nice and healthy natural environment, even though it is situated in the middle of the city. The school has big attractive buildings with modern facilities. Proper infrastructure is available for the students.

There is an example of market failure in Economics called, as the title of this blog suggests, "The Ice-cream Seller Problem" (a.k.a. Hotelling's Law). Consider a long strand of sand evenly covered with holidaying people. A reasonable proportion of which would pay good money for an ice-cream, but walking too far is a disincentive. The market thoughtfully provides a vendor, let's call them Sam, who analyses the situation and decides that the best place to set up is the middle of the beach so as to be as close as possible to as many as possible.
Anyway, back to ice-cream. Knowing people will always walk to the nearest ice-cream seller, Jo, the new vendor will always set up as close as possible to Sam, the incumbent vendor, in the centre of the beach. This is because, if Jo sets up markedly to the left (for example) of the Sam, Jo has already lost half the market – everyone to the right of the centre. Meantime, some of those to the left of centre will still be closer to Sam.
Ultimately, we are left with a beach uniformly covered with ice-cream desirous holiday makers where both ice-cream sellers are clustered in the middle. This is inefficient because, if Jo and Sam were to distribute themselves more evenly across the beach, they could maintain market share while reducing their distance from the customer. In fact, sales might actually increase as people at the extreme edges of the beach who were previously desirous of ice-cream, but couldn't be bothered to walk the distance to the centre, might now be served. In economic parlance, any change leaving at least one group of people better off without leaving anyone worse off is called a Pareto improvement. It is, in short, something for nothing! There is, however, no market mechanism to achieve this more efficient outcome.
In sum, the Ice-cream Seller Problem describes how the market produces sub-optimal and inefficient clustering.
Turning now to politics, we see Hotelling's law implies that the Labour Party, however much they decry Conservative policies, might consider to set up anywhere other than the centre reduces their market share.
However, what is overlooked is that, in politics, it is often not the getting into power which is important, it is the offering of alternatives. UKIP is unlikely ever to form a government of the UK, for example, but their very presence has shaped the debate on migration and the EU. Similarly, in his recent budget, the Chancellor apparently attempted to recast the Conservatives as the "workers' party", adopting many of Miliband's policies. Clearly, it is possible to have an influence, even in opposition. Corbyn, if he becomes leader of the Labour Party, might well motivate the Conservatives to consider his approach to political-economy. He might even redefine what "the centre" actually is.
Thatcher once claimed her greatest triumph was New Labour. However, the people of the UK are ill-served if they face no real electoral choice: Simple economic theory suggests that having a choice increases utility, which is what economists call the experience of satisfaction. Whether or not one agrees with Corbyn, the Labour Party will be doing the nation a great service actually to demonstrate that There IS An Alternative (and always was).
And, who knows, it might well be that, in 2030 (when we are finally enjoying our 15 hour working week), we find ourselves raising a glass to the greatest legacy of Corbyn, New Conservatism. Stranger things have happened!

Capitol riot images showing Confederate flag a reminder of country's darkest past
The nation watched in horror as a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday afternoon, swarming police officers and vandalizing a federal building. Amid the chaos and sea of American flags and flags for President Donald Trump appeared an emblem that has long been associated with white supremacy – the Confederate battle flag.
Having that emblem hoisted inside the Capitol during a riot that sought to undermine the democratic process reinforced many people's belief that the Confederate flag and those that brandish it like a firearm are committed only to an American democracy that prioritizes white supremacy. The act brings into focus the legacy and complex history of the flag, which long ago represented Confederate states in the South that went to war with Northern states in the Civil War.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee, said rioters carrying the flag Wednesday sent a clear message.
"It's hard for Donald Trump and his kind to pretend that they don't see race or that they're not racist when the symbol of the people you have invited here is the Confederate battle flag or the Trump 2020 flag," he said. "For a lot of us, they're synonymous."
The Confederate flag has had several different designs throughout its history.
The first Confederate flag, called Stars and Bars, was intentionally designed to resemble the American flag after the secession of Southern states in 1861. But the resemblance was so similar that during the Civil War, it caused confusion on the battlefield. After one Confederate regiment fired on another, possibly because of the confusion between the flags, it was redesigned. The battle flag was first distributed to Confederate troops in November 1861 and it's the version commonly seen today.
"I'm pretty convinced that from the end of the Civil War well up into the 1930s, you wouldn't see the Confederate flag flown the way it is today," said Gaines Foster, a Louisiana State University history professor.

In the 1940s, the Confederate battle flag became entangled in American culture as less of a symbol of a lost war and more of a romanticized emblem of a lost Southern way of life. That's when the States' Rights Democratic Party, a political party committed to maintaining racial segregation, adopted the Confederate battle flag as its party flag.
"It's really at that point, the battle flag becomes the popular item that it does," Foster said. "It becomes Confederate flag bikinis; Confederate flag flip-flops. But it also becomes the banner used by the KKK, White Citizens' Councils and by other segregation mobs throughout the South."
As the fight for racial equality raged during the Civil Rights era, Southern states began to display the Confederate flag. Georgia put the Confederate symbol on its state flag in the late 1950s. South Carolina and Alabama began to fly the flag over their capital in the 1960s.
"In the midst of the civil rights movement, it's identified with a defiant white supremacy," Foster said. "And so the flag as a symbol of racism within American culture, I think is absolutely cemented at that point."
The flag's decades-long affiliation with racism reached a new high in 2017, when it appeared at a deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.
"For traditional supporters of a white America, the Confederate flag has become a symbol of their defiance and their vision of not the Civil War, but of America," Foster said.
In recent years, many Confederate statues and symbols publicly displayed across the country have been removed in the face of more recent protests and impassioned demands for racial equality. In 2015, after supremacist Dylann Roof shot nine parishioners at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley removed the Confederate flag from State capitol grounds. A flurry of removals of Confederate flags or revisions of state flags bearing Confederate imagery followed, with Mississippi voting in June to retire its state flag and design a new one.
Laura Edwards, a history professor at Princeton University, says the flying of the Confederate flag now is a statement about revolution. "It's a statement not only about revolution but a particular kind, which is in support of white supremacy," she said.
House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn, a Democrat from South Carolina, said the message the people wielding the Confederate flag in the Capitol were trying to send was unequivocal.
"They were putting the flag of white supremacy on top of the United States Capitol," he said. "They knew what they were doing."
Thompson called it "horrible" that the "terrorists" were waving the Confederate flag during the attack on the Capitol.
"That's the flag of the Confederacy. That was the flag that this country fought a war over, and it was because of slavery," Thompson said. "And here we have people who see that as a symbol for wanting their freedom back, which is a racist symbol."

There are years that ask questions and years that answer. So says Zora Neale Hurston.
Zora Neale Hurston was a master of artistic invention and reinvention. I wish I could have met her.
She wrote novels/short stories and even rewrote parts of her own life.
She brandished her pen like a sword, her words bare-knuckled in their honesty. She taught us that life can be bigger than our sorrows.
You are bound to be jostled in the crowded street of life.
Post-election, many of us are conflicted, wrestling with questions, anxious for answers. Instructive and insightful ones. There's never been a better time to read/revisit Zora Neale Hurston's work as we go forward.
I know I cannot straighten out in a few pen-strokes what God and men took centuries to mess up. So I tried to deal with life as we actually live it — not as sociologists imagine it.
A black writer in white America, she's a fitting guide of who we can be if we dare.
It's not a perfect time. It's not an easy time. But it's a swashbuckling time to be alive. I think Zora (and Liz) would agree.
The Étoile (the roundabout circling the Arc de Triomphe) is nerves-in-a-blender intense. It's a 10-lane roundabout without any lane markers. Cars enter aggressively from the right, mini-catapults accompanied by heart-blanching honking. It's mind-frazzling.
Not up to the challenge? There's a less chaotic way around the Arc de Triomphe. Turn right at the last street just before hitting the main roundabout. These two streets – rue de Presbourg and rue de Tilsitt – form an outer ring around l'Étoile that avoids the busiest roundabout in Paris.
In Paris, unlike the rest of France, cars entering the roundabout have priority over those who are already in it. Who knew?

A hindrance to the practical use of sodium-ion batteries is the lack of adequate anode materials. By utilizing the co-intercalation reaction, graphite, which is the most common anode material of lithium-ion batteries, was used for storing sodium ion. However, its performance, such as reversible capacity and coulombic efficiency, remains unsatisfactory for practical needs. Therefore, to overcome these drawbacks, a new carbon material was synthesized so that co-intercalation could occur efficiently. This carbon material has the same morphology as carbon black; that is, it has a wide pathway due to a turbostratic structure, and a short pathway due to small primary particles that allows the co-intercalation reaction to occur efficiently. Additionally, due to the numerous voids present in the inner amorphous structure, the sodium storage capacity was greatly increased. Furthermore, owing to the coarse co-intercalation reaction due to the surface pore structure, the formation of solid-electrolyte interphase was greatly suppressed and the first cycle coulombic efficiency reached 80%. This study shows that the carbon material alone can be used to design good electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries without the use of next-generation materials.

None of the author's findings on the use and misuse of research in education comes as a surprise to school librarians. There have been numerous studies performed across the country that clearly demonstrate the importance of a school library program, one funded and staffed by a certified teacher-librarian. Many examples of such research can be found on the Web site of the Library Research Service, a unit of the Colorado State Library and the Colorado Department of Education.
A school library program integrated into the curriculum is the second-highest indicator of academic success (after the socioeconomic status of students' families), yet schools struggling to make adequate yearly progress under the federal No Child Left Behind Act still cut the library. If we actually were to act on the research, every school would have a library with a certified librarian, a current print collection, online subscriptions, adequate technology, and flexible scheduling so that all children could have regular access.
There is something we can do about this: contact congressional representatives and ask them to support the Strengthening Kids' Interest in Learning and Libraries, or SKILLS, Act, which would require a highly qualified school library media specialist in every school under the reauthorized No Child Left Behind law. As the research shows, it will make a big difference.

Asia-Pacific Regional Seminar resolves to strengthen voice of Labour in trade negotiations
"Trade agreements are designed to encourage the movement of goods, labour and capital across borders. However without a seat at the negotiating table workers are not benefiting from these deals as they should," said Ambet Yuson, BWI General Secretary at the opening activities of the Asia Pacific Regional Seminar on Labour Rights, Migration and Trade Agreements in Yangon, Myanmar. "These agreements are increasingly shaping how law and policy is being made. Multinationals have effectively monopolised this domain to their own advantage; it is critical therefore that BWI unions are at the forefront civili society movements on this issue, to ensure labour rights are protected."
The seminar began with a discussion on how trade and investment agreements have evolved from the WTO era to the new generation of agreements, and the threats those agreements present to workers and their rights, as trade union members, as citizens, and as political movements. Discussion was closely linked to the impacts on BWI sectors, questions around migration and labour mobility, and sharing experiences on trade union engagement on these agreements.
And while some FTAs like the Trans Pacific Partnership have labour provisions, these provisions are not strong enough to counter the adverse impacts on workers, including informalisation, casualisation, precarious working conditions, increasing feminization, disparity in wages and benefits between local and migrant and between men and women workers.
Regional labour migration and the international agreements that underpin it was also a key topic. "The ASEAN economic integration is continuing apace, and workers are moving across borders in pursuit of work, however labour rights are not given the same degree of protection as investor rights", said Fatimah Mohammad (UFES). Regional migration was also a key focus in update reports from BWI affiliates in South Korea (KFCITU) and Japan (from the BWI-JAC) in efforts to organise workers around the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics. In both countries, increasing use of subcontracting and irregular work arrangements was negatively impacting on job security and health and safety outcomes.
It was also clear from the discussion that labour movements can impact these agreements. "For the first time in 30 years, a trade agreement has been impacted by working people, we won significant concessions on the ChAFTA surrounding labour mobility," said Dave Noonan of CFMEU at the panel discussion on trade union engagement. Videos and pictures on campaign activities of CFMEU, FIRST Union of New Zealand, BYGGNADS of Sweden and KFCITU of South Korea served as strong inspiration for current and future struggles.
Participants highlighted the need for agreements that strengthen minimum labour standards at the regional level, stronger cooperation on health and safety issues, and a more effective labour dispute settlement mechanism, noting the much stronger DSM available for investors. "Rather than free trade agreements that pit workers against each other in a race to the bottom for labour rights," remarked Yuson, "it's time that workers' rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining were given the same kinds of protection and remedies."

When today's road warriors hit the trail, they are armed with three or four mobile devices to help them stay connected to office and home. They are more inclined to carry a tablet than a laptop. And, when these business travelers communicate with the home front from their hotel room, they are most likely do so with a video chat.
They travel with 3-4 mobile devices. The majority (55 percent) of respondents bring three or four devices with them on the road. This is true across all nationalities. Brazilian respondents were more likely than others to juggle five or more devices while traveling (27 percent), while Germans were the least device-dependent, with 33 percent reporting they travel with only one or two.
Smartphones are number one. What three or four devices are respondents likely to bring? Smartphones are tops (74 percent), followed by tablets (65 percent), music players (43 percent) and laptops (32 percent). Chinese respondents were the only group to bump laptops out of the top four, in favor of cameras (30 percent).
Business travelers are glued to those smartphones. After landing, the majority (54 percent) turn on their smartphone while the plane is still taxiing on the tarmac, while 12 percent never turn it off in the first place. The remaining respondents wait until they're in the terminal or settle into their taxi/car (17 percent each). Checking their smartphone is also the first thing respondents do when they wake up in their hotel (36 percent). Only 19 percent turn on the TV first and 18 percent take a shower. Checking Facebook (12 percent) ranks fourth, while checking Twitter and calling home share a distant fifth (7 percent).
Tablets beat laptops. Nearly seven in 10 respondents (68 percent) use their tablet more often than their laptop, and accordingly a similar number (69 percent), if told they could take only one of the two on the road, would choose to travel with their tablet.
Business centers are helpful. In addition to all their hand-held technology, the majority of respondents report that they have visited a hotel business center (66 percent). They mostly do so to print business items (93 percent). They are also inclined to use the business center to print personal items (87 percent), check social networking (87 percent) and check email (86 percent).
These findings show just how important technology, wireless internet access, and business capabilities are within the hotel industry and should help owners and operators make more informed decisions about catering to business travelers in the future.


It is no secret that small dogs are known for being fussy eaters. Being so small and often full of energy! It is important to feed your Yorkie properly and keep them as healthy as can be.
Smaller dogs can be quite tough to feed. If you have one, you know what this means! Size can be deceiving because you may tend to underfeed or overfeed your pet. It is very important that you know your dogs dietary requirements so you can help them achieve their overall performance. Like other small dogs, yorkies are not exempt from having stomach problems. So you have to be very careful when feeding them.
What are the Caloric Requirements of Your Yorkies?
The caloric portion of yorkies depends on their age, weight, and activity level. Puppies need approximately 200 calories a day, while adult dogs need 150 calories. Senior yorkie dogs may need lesser amounts which 120 calories.
Yorkies are a small breed of dogs so obviously they don't need that much food. They weigh around 3-8 pounds. If your dog is smaller than this range and they are not that active, they may need lesser calories.
⦿ For moderately active dogs, 150 calories per day is enough to sustain their needs.
⦿ If you have a bigger Yorkie, and they are active, it would be safer to give them at least 200 calories a day. You have to be very particular in feeding your Yorkies, because they have a small stomach. If you feed them a lot, their stomach may not be able to handle the foods.
⦿ This may cause indigestion or stomach problems later on. In fact, they cannot handle two meals a day, unlike other dog breeds. Just in case you over feed those, chances are your dog might get sick.
⦿ More so, if they eat a lot, they will poop a lot. You won't like cleaning their messes every time, right? So it is better to split your feedings into smaller meals. If you can divide the frequency of your feeding to four smaller meals is okay.
Yorkies are considered toy breeds. So you won't have to give them too many foods unlike larger breeds.
What are the Best Ingredients for your Yorkies?
You won't have difficulty in finding these ingredients because most premium and best selling dog food brands are using three or more of these ingredients. The thing about premium brands is that they are really using the muscles of these animals as the main ingredients in their product. So your dog will really love to eat it.
Just be careful when buying low quality brands because most likely they do not have these ingredients. More often than not, they are made of processed crap and other fillers that may trigger allergic reactions to your pet. Just a bit of advice, do not compromise the quality of the dog food from the little dollar that you can save.
Who knows, you may end up spending a lot on your veterinarian visits because your dog develop some stomach upset due to the food that they ate.
As much as possible, avoid buying brands which uses soy and corn. These ingredients are the main culprits of stomach hypersensitivity reactions. Be careful also when with cheap brown rice, because studies have shown that it contains arsenic which is harmful to your pet.
Fats are an essential nutrient that your dog needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is surprising to note that some dog food brands contain lesser fat. Yorkies needs a good amount of fat to maintain their shiny and long coats.
⦿ Fish oils are a good example of healthy fats - good for the heart's health. Fats also add taste to their foods. Healthy fats make dog foods delicious and tasty.
Which one is the best for Yorkie – Dry or Wet Food?
For toy breeds like Yorkies dry food is the best choice. This breed is prone to dental troubles so it is better to give them dry food. The brittle and crunchy texture of dry food helps clean your dog's teeth.
If you still want to give them wet foods, better to do it only on special occasion. From time to time, it is also good to give them a tasty treat like a juicy steak. But if you don't want you're pet to have any tooth problem, stick to dry foods.
⦿ If you're changing their diet, do it gradually.
⦿ Give them dry foods.
If you want to get some idea on the top dog food picks for this breed, here you can find some of the best-selling items online. Almost all of the top-choices here have very good ingredients for your Yorkies. Just a gentle reminder, before switching from one brand to another, it is still best to consult your veterinarian so you can be properly guided.
The Blue Buffalo Small Breed Chicken and Rice is one of the premium and best-selling dog food brands in the online market. The product features Blue Life Protection Formula which is specially designed for small breeds like Yorkies. It features special ingredients like higher amount of protein and carbohydrates to support their energy requirements.
The best thing about this product is that it uses real chicken, lamb or fish. It also uses whole grains and garden veggies and fruits. They also added Life Source Bits which contains a precise blend of nutrients that is enhanced with antioxidant-rich ingredients.
The Taste of the Wild Hi-Prairie Canine Formula is a premium brand made with real roasted meats like Bison and venison, chicken, and lamb which your dogs will surely love. It is also supplemented with fruits, veggies, vitamins and minerals. It also contains antioxidants which helps maintain a healthy immune system.
This brand consistently gets high remarks because it contains three sources of animal protein. It also contains fish oils which is good for a healthy heart. This brand is ideal for small breeds like yorkies because it features a small kibble size ideal for smaller mouths.
It also features authentic ingredients and reduced calories to provide nutritional support for healthy weight maintenance. It also provides a tasty treat that yorkies will truly love!

M People: One Night in Heaven
Surrey and Hampshire Sport
Abt is back for Guildford Flames
Published at 2:45pm 3rd July 2019.
Defenceman Jordan Abt will return to the Flames for a 2nd season. The 6'2", 205lb skater joined the club last summer and iced in 67 contests where he had 6 goals and 15 points during the run to the Patton Conference title. His first season at Spectrum was also the Canadian blueliner's first outside North America; joining Surrey's side after 61 games with Norfolk Admirals of the ECHL in 2017-2018. The native of Leduc, Alberta also closed the 2016-2017 season in Virginia when he played 10 games immediately after completing his 5th and final term of college hockey at Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.
"I am really excited to be back in Guildford," explained the 28 year old. "It's such a great group of guys, and I'm looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish this coming year."
In 108 games at NAIT, Abt had 34 goals and 101 points and was on hand for 3 playoff titles; one in 2013 and back to back captures in 2015 and 2016, the last of which was a result of a perfect 36 win and 0 loss schedule including playoffs. During his stay at the Edmonton school, Abt was a First All-Conference team selection in 2015-2016 and added a 2nd team award the following year.
Prior to his jump to the college ranks, he spent 3 seasons, totalling 151 games, in the Alberta Junior Hockey League, the bulk of his time with St. Albert Steel before a short final stretch at Drayton Valley Thunder
"We are very happy to get Jordan back with us," said Head Coach Paul Dixon. "He fit perfectly in the defensive group but also in the dressing room."
"He is not a small guy so he adds a bit of a bigger presence for us, and can handle the physical parts of the game, but he can also get around the ice and is sensible with the puck."
"Jordan is another bit of continuity from last season to now, and along with some of the new pieces we are hoping he can help us improve on last year's good showing."

Ooouuuuu majestic! A gamer is a gamer, even on a blog
Bap the Apples
29/08/2019 04/11/2019 applebapsgamingLeave a Comment on Kerbal Space Program 2
Kerbal Space Program 2 is a transparent attempt by Take Two to reset the bad press caused by them spying on the KSP playerbase with Unity Analytics and Red Shell spyware immediately after acquiring the property, and then releasing 2 paid DLC packs in a game that had previously had mountains of freely-available content added after its release. Yes, Red Shell is gone. Yes, you can now opt out of Unity Analytics. Fuck that shit anyway. Their EULA still says they own everything you make with Making History. They only removed the spyware in the first place because of the PR nightmare it became when people realized they were being spied on and raised hell, swimming upstream against an endless wave of bootlicking brand-loving pieces of shit who are extremely into being spied on. KSP2 is how they make you forget that all this happened. And it's going to work, because humans are slack-jawed ape-children who love new shiny things jingling in their faces. Fuck this gay earth.
This review will therefore be a second attempt at my Kerbal Space Program review, which was a rambling near-manic mess of writing that made no clear points and told the reader next to nothing about the actual game. Don't buy KSP2. Don't support corporate responsibility-dodging.
Kerbal Space Program is a game in which you learn astrophysics by trial and error. You fling tiny green creatures at the sky and gradually piece together how to do Hohmann transfers from scratch. It is amazing.
The game includes 3 main modes of play: Career mode, Science mode, and Sandbox mode. There are also some tutorials and other pre-made scenarios to play with. The DLC adds nothing of consequence, and is not worth your money. Take Two / Private Division have added precisely one good and substantive thing to the game since taking over the property, and that was to integrate a feature previously found in a free mod called Kerbal Engineer Redux: showing the player their delta-v, thrust-to-weight ratio, and other rocket sciencey numbers transparently in the interface.
In Sandbox mode, all parts are available for use and all the buildings of the Space Center are fully upgraded from the start. There is no point to doing science, no reputation to manage, no contracts to do, and launching rockets is free.
In Career mode, you have to pay in-game currency to upgrade buildings and launch rockets, so you have to carefully manage the cost of your crafts and take contracts to get more money. Upgrading buildings is key to getting new features and capabilities, such as plotting maneuver nodes on your orbits or employing more kerbonauts. Your organization also has a reputation that you can build by doing successful launches and getting "World Firsts", breaking various speed and distance records to show how cool you are. Higher reputation means more lucrative (and difficult) contracts. You also start with only a very basic set of parts, suitable only for breaking atmosphere. As you do science, you unlock nodes on a research tree that gives you more parts, and therefore more flexibility to go farther and do more science. There are also organizational "plans" you can commit to to shuffle around value between reputation, science, and money.
In Science mode (or Full Communism mode, as I like to call it), you still have to unlock parts and do science to move up the tech tree, but you don't have to worry about money or reputation, and your buildings start fully upgraded like in Sandbox mode. In both Career and Science modes, your kerbonauts also build up XP by flying on missions. The farther out you go and the more you do, the more XP they get. As they level up, they gain more capabilities. Pilots gain the ability to hold steady on a wider variety of potential flight vectors, Engineers can repair more things and increase the efficiency of mining equipment etc. more and more, while Scientists increase the efficiency of the science lab part.
Personally, I like Career mode the best. Sandbox mode is way too unfocused and there's no real incentive to do anything. Science mode is a nice middle ground. If you get tired of managing contracts and worrying about the cost of your fuel etc., give that mode a try.
Science is your purpose and your primary mission in KSP, after all. There are no hostile (or friendly) aliens, only a vast and mysterious and mostly-empty universe out there to explore. Empty though it may be, however, it is still immensely compelling because of the challenge involved in getting places. Your first Mun or Minmus landing (protip: Minmus is way easier even though the Mun is closer) is a thrill thoroughly earned. You have a variety of gadgets you can slap onto your craft, such as "mystery goo", thermometers, barometers, materials kits, seismometers, etc. that can be used to perform experiments with for science points. You'll want to cart that stuff halfway across the galaxy just so you can see if you can get a temperature reading off of Eeloo. Take a rover up there and drive it around, just because you can.
One interesting challenge of the midgame, once you're ready to move beyond the local Kerbin orbit, is that fuel and electricity are limited and communications back home are nonexistent. You may find yourself wanting to build orbital refueling and communications bases, or establishing little colonies on other worlds. Flying pieces into orbit and assembling them there by docking them together in rendezvous is a major coming-of-age moment for any aspiring Kerbonaut.
Something cool about KSP is that its physics more or less resemble the real world's (minus some wonkiness in atmospheric flight), with the major difference that Kerbin is about 1/8th the size of Earth. This helps explain why the simple-minded (and very cute) little Kerbonauts are able to fling themselves at the sky and achieve orbit so easily. It also makes Single Stage To Orbit (SSTO) craft, aka "space planes", possible in the game. A pipe dream in real life due to the limitations of our materials and Earth's heavy gravity and atmosphere, on Kerbin the SSTO lives. Designing these sorts of crafts is very attainable, and they're a joy to figure out how to build and fly.
KSP's political message is that astrophysics (STEM, if you like) is attainable by anyone. If Kerbals can have a space program, so can you! That's admirable, and the proof is definitely in this pudding. It's a fantastic game and (apart from the useless DLC) well worth your money. Don't buy KSP2. Opt out of Unity Analytics. Fuck capitalism.

Tech Review Series: PHP
If we talk about working with databases and creating dynamic web pages, PHP is among the first scripting languages to come to mind. It is one of the most used languages for backend development and is versatile enough to be used for various applications in addition to dynamic content creation.
In this article, we will talk about PHP and why you should not compare Node.js and PHP when it comes to server-side development. We will also cover the main areas of PHP usage - and you'll be surprised to find out about them!
PHP: a brief history and the current state
Like other great things, PHP was created by chance. Rasmus Lerdorf, its creator, simply wanted to track the visits to his online resume. So he wrote a set of CGI binaries in the C language and called it "Personal Home Page Tools" (or PHP Tools for short). After some time, Lerdorf decided he needed more functionality so he rewrote PHP Tools and significantly expanded it. This was the start of PHP development towards its current state.
A funny thing about PHP development is that PHP was not designed intentionally as a programming language but it grew organically instead, with Lerdorf adding new functionality and expansions "on the go". Such an approach led to inconsistent functions naming and inconsistent ordering of the functions' parameters.
The first official version of PHP (the abovementioned PHP Tools) was released in 1995. Javascript was announced as a client-side language and was released in 1996. In the following three years, PHP has seen many modifications and changes and in 1998, the PHP 3 version was released. PHP 3 resembled PHP that we know today and gained immense popularity due to its functionality. This version had strong extensibility features, OOP support, consistent language syntax, and a very mature interface for various databases.
PHP 4 was introduced in 1999 and the PHP 5 version was released in 2004 only. In 2005, Andrei Zmievski and his team tried to incorporate native Unicode support into the PHP but the project did not succeed and the team had to roll back to the non-Unicode version of the language.
By now, the latest version of PHP is PHP 8, released in November 2020. Even though some people consider that PHP has no future, it's still going strong. By now, it's used by 79.1% of websites and displays a steady usage rate if looking at historical trends. The companies that use PHP include Zoom, Microsoft, WordPress, and Washington Post, and the language remains relevant and in high demand.
PHP: technology type
PHP is an open-source scripting language used to create dynamic web pages. Even though scripting languages belong to the group of programming languages, there is a major difference between them: scripting languages do not need to be compiled and are interpreted instead. This has a slight impact on the performance as compiled languages tend to run faster (though interpreted languages have easier debugging).
In addition to creating dynamic web content, PHP also helps manage databases, track sessions, perform system functions, and encrypt data. As for the most notable PHP features, they are:
Case sensitive: "var" will not be the same as "VAR", for example.
Support for many major protocols: LDAP, POP3, IMAP.
Integration with the most popular databases: Oracle, MySQL, Sybase, PostgreSQL.
Compatibility with almost all servers,
Built-in support for MySQL.
PHP Composer
PHP Composer is a tool for dependency management (similar to npm in Node.js). The Composer significantly facilitates working with the libraries since it's capable of installing and/or updating them for you, once you declare them.
For example, you have a project that depends on a few libraries and some of these libraries depend on other libraries in turn. Sounds a bit confusing, doesn't it? What Composer does is allowing you to declare the libraries that you depend on - and then it does all other work, such as determining the needed versions to be installed and installing them. And the best thing is that you can update all your dependencies in one command only.
It is important to note though that Composer installs the necessary libraries on a per-project basis, right in a directory inside a project. With Composer, you can use different versions of one library across various projects but it's not recommended to install the libraries globally.
The use of PHP: most common cases
PHP is known for creating dynamic web pages but that's not everything it is capable of doing. If you dig deeper, you'd be amazed by the possible PHP applications in the world of software development.
Security should be the top priority for any software product and PHP can successfully provide it. Here are some PHP applications in terms of security:
User and password authentication: PHP is capable of storing and retrieving the login data from the database with the help of top-level encryption.
Cookie authentication and session management: handled with the help of PHP Sessions.
Two-step verification: since PHP can generate a secure random token (and securely store it in the database) and can safely share it between the user's mail and the API service.
Data encryption: PHP can encrypt the data which, without a doubt, is a big advantage in terms of security.
Work with WordPress
Since most CMS and web frameworks are written in PHP, it makes sense that this language is great for work with WordPress and its plugins.
WordPress is one of the most known and popular CMS in the world and most of its core files are in PHP. That means, almost any theme or plugin that you install will most probably be PHP as well. Therefore, if you work with WordPress and want to tweak or extend its functionality, it makes sense to use PHP for that.
PHP Pros and Cons
PHP has a number of impressive benefits that it brings to backend development. At the same time, it has several flaws that sometimes impact the developer's decision about which language to choose. See the table below to learn about the most distinct.
Many websites use PHP and there are many great solutions out there. E-commerce stores, blogs, forums, extensive database support - you can get all this out of the box. And if you want to build a complex, stable, and specific product, you can use a PHP framework such as Symfony or Laravel. These frameworks are well-organized and well-documented, contain built-in abstraction components, support unit testing, and have web security features like CSRF and SQL injection protection.
A low entry threshold is both an advantage and a disadvantage of PHP. On one hand, you can quickly figure out a certain part of an application, change it, and it will work. On the other hand, the behavior of the language is often not very obvious so it might be confusing for beginners.
PHP is constantly evolving and has already seen numerous changes and improvements. Unfortunately, the behavior of the code in different environments is not unambiguous. I recommend using Docker to create the environment so that the code execution results are the same on all platforms.
PHP is not the best choice for continually-running or heavy processes. You could increase memory_limit and max_execution_time but PHP processes are meant to die sooner or later. There is always a workaround to speed up a script execution (APCu, OPcache, HHVM, Memcache) but it will probably cost you hours (if not days).
Summing up, PHP was designed for and works very well with web applications. It is a great prototyping tool that will get you a working product in no time. PHP can be used in complex, heavy-loaded systems, but, of course, it requires experienced specialists and non-trivial solutions sometimes.
Igor, Full Stack Engineer
Even though some developers consider PHP to be outdated, the language is still widely used by both industry giants and smaller companies. Once you learn your way around it, PHP becomes a powerful and robust tool for working with the backend part of your project.
The next article from our tech review series will cover the Go programming language and it will be the last article on the subject of backend development. But don't worry - we will continue our series with front-end development so sign up for our newsletter and stay tuned!

tournament Sign Up!
Our regulars probably still remember the first edition of the Amsterdam Senior International Open in Nieuw-Vennep. Shortly before the start of the tournament there were still a lot of challenges: which location, who are going to participate, how can we schedule the matches best? Essential elements for a successful week!
From grade 5 towards seniors 700 points tournament
The Amsterdam Senior International Open began as an grade 5 tournament. Within a few years we reached a grade 2 status, which we were very proud of. Grade was even more of a challenge and we hope to show we have earned it. Rogier Liefbroer and Rob Menko have been in the organization from the beginning. They have been supported by Paulien van den Tempel, who is responsible for the PR of the tournament and brings in many players every year, together with Wilhelmina Baks. Later, the team was expanded with Miriam de Groot and Frank van Herpen. In 2021 Wijnand van Leeuwen joined the team.
In 2022 Rogier, Miriam and Frank decided to find other challenges. John Vievermans and Torsten Juechter, who had already experience with the Venlo tournament, replaced them.
From 2022 on, John, Torsten, Wijnand, Paulien and Wilhelmina hope to continue the tournament in the same spirit.
Unfortunately, due to construction work at the location of our tournament we had to cancel our 2018 edition. But we came back stronger as a grade 1 tournament in 2019 at a completely renovated national tennis center. Covid made us cancel 2020, but in 2021 we risked another edition, with a very satisfying result. 2022 saw again a good attendance with participants from 21 countries. Meanwhile we had achieved the 700 point status.
Our tournament is known for its great atmosphere, beautiful venue and strong competition. And this is how we want it to be! We continue to strive for the ideal mix of top tennis and socializing. Besides the matches we will organize a great Players Dinner, and – upon request – a nice sightseeing trip for our contestants from abroad.
Will we see you at this years' edition?

There are many reasons why I like to play the Amsterdam Open in Amstelveen. I have visited ASIO five times now and each and every time I had the best of fun. We had interesting matches and the people were very friendly. There are not many places where I can still compete in my own age group. Moreover, everybody speaks English, whereas I speak nothing but English.

Q: Asymptotic freedom and momentum exchange Why is the momentum exchange very high for low distances?

For sufficiently short distances or large exchanges of momentum
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_freedom

While I think about it.. what exactly is exchanging momentum? The quarks?

A: Due to the de Broglie relation,
$$\lambda = \frac{h}{p},$$
wavelength and momentum are inversely proportional. This means that small distances are connected to large momenta and long distances are related to small momenta.

Leagues: UEFA Champions League
Liverpool demand apology to fans after Champions League fiasco
by AFP May 31, 2022 EST
Paris (AFP) – Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has demanded an apology over the treatment of the club's fans after the French government blamed "massive" ticket fraud for the chaotic scenes that marred Saturday's Champions League final against Real Madrid in Paris.
Werner, part of the US-based Fenway Sports Group that owns Liverpool, said in a leaked letter sent to French sports minister Amelie Oudea-Castera on Monday that he was left in "utter disbelief" at her comments about the chaos.
Oudea-Castera initially blamed Liverpool for helping to cause the mayhem, telling a French radio station that the club failed to properly organise its supporters who went to Paris.
After a crisis meeting at the sports ministry on Monday, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin defiantly insisted that ticket scams and the behaviour of Liverpool fans was to blame.
"I am writing to you today out of utter disbelief that a minister of the French government… could make a series of unproven pronouncements on a matter of such significance before a proper, formal, independent investigation process has even taken place," Werner wrote in his letter, leaked to the local Liverpool Echo newspaper.
"Your comments were irresponsible, unprofessional, and wholly disrespectful to the thousands of fans harmed physically and emotionally," the Boston-based chairman added.
"On behalf of all the fans who experienced this nightmare I demand an apology from you, and assurance that the French Authorities and UEFA allow an independent and transparent investigation to proceed."
European football's governing body has announced that Portuguese politician Tiago Brandao Rodrigues will head up an independent probe.
The chaos inevitably brought back painful memories for Liverpool, a club haunted by the 1989 Hillsborough disaster which cost the lives of 97 people in a stadium crush.
Then, as at the weekend, police initially blamed ticketless fans but they were exonerated after a lengthy legal fight.
In his letter, Werner called the events in Paris "incredibly dangerous for all who attended" and urged against "a blame game strategy via press conference".
"I have received countless emails from Liverpool supporters who were frightened to death, and subject to police harassment, pepper spray and tear gas," he added.
– Numbers contested –
Darmanin said that there had been 30,000 to 40,000 Liverpool fans with counterfeit tickets or without tickets outside the Stade de France.
According to authorities, that contributed signficantly to the swelling of the crowd outside the gates to France's national stadium, leading to huge, slow-moving queues and a massive bottleneck.
But the numbers put forward have been contested, including in France, where the head of a large supporters group, present at the stadium on Saturday, called them a "lie".
"There were some supporters with fake tickets, but not thousands," he told AFP.
"30-40,000 fake tickets, that seems very, very big," said French politician Regis Juanico, a specialist in sports issues. "I'm waiting for the hearing of the two ministers Wednesday at the Senate to know more about it."
The French government has faced a barrage of criticism from press and politicians in Britain over policing of the match, which saw thousands of Liverpool fans with tickets struggle to enter.
The scenes tarnished the image of the French capital, raising questions about its ability to host major sporting events as it gears up for the 2024 Olympics, as well as the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
All eyes will turn to the next match at the Stade de France on Friday, when France kick off the defence of their Nations League title at home to Denmark.
Paris transport unions called Tuesday for a new strike to coincide with that match, hailing the "success" of their action at the weekend that contributed to the disorder at the Champions League final.
