Today's leaders face quarterly pressures to hit important conversion and retention numbers. I've been in many brainstorming sessions with smart product and marketing managers to dream up big ideas to hit those goals, and I've watched teams celebrate when two of their 10 test ideas end up lifting response rates at the end of the quarter.
But what if we could set bigger quarterly goals, knowing we could make nine out of 10 test ideas lift? When we uncover knowledge of our customers' behaviors, motivations, and barriers and use this data to drive our quarterly road maps and campaigns, we can do just that.
However, due to time constraints, skill limitations, and cumbersome data silos throughout the company, many marketing leaders steer clear of data-driven design and assume it will be too much of a hassle.
There is no denying that data-driven design requires an investment of time and resources, but I firmly believe it is well worth the effort. Great design is impossible without great data powering it, and when you invest a few hours upfront — using data to both design and validate your creative proposals — you'll launch superior marketing campaigns and user experiences right out of the gate.
1. Bring all hands on deck. Much of the data you need already exists within your company; you just need to compile it from a variety of sources. This will be easier than you expect.
You likely capture demographic data already, and you can generate insights from online user research within a few hours. Post your campaign or website to a service such as UserTesting, and note any conversion barriers that arise. On a recent artificial intelligence chatbot project, we generated a 45% increase in conversions using this technique.
Also, consider gathering teams from across the company to watch how people are using your product. In the past, our teams have pored over customer service feedback, observed mouse flows of people using the site, analyzed the latest demographic findings, and more.
Once your marketing and UX teams know prospects' and customers' top concerns, you can eliminate these barriers to drive increases in conversions and retention. Other departments can enjoy similar benefits, so feel free to enlist their help.
2. Build and leverage personas. HubSpot reports that websites built with personas are up to five times more effective than those built for a generic audience. Try developing personas of your customers with the highest lifetime value and use them to craft highly personalized, relevant experiences. Include their motivations, tasks, behaviors, likes, and dislikes.
You'll find demographic details such as age, gender, and location through platforms such as Google Analytics. Use this data to create personas of your highest-LTV customers and then plug these users into a service such as Next Caller to gain even deeper demographic insights about them.
Use your results to influence future product designs and campaign strategies. When possible, gain direct feedback through on-site or email surveys, and update your personas based on that information.
3. Prioritize problem-solving. The end goal of data-driven design is to solve problems. Specifically, it's meant to help customers overcome barriers along every step of their journey.
From this day forward, every time you hear a teammate say, "I have a great idea," work together to go deeper to identify the specific user problems the idea will solve. Focus the bulk of your time and resources toward design projects that address ongoing customer needs, as those are the ideas that really push businesses forward.
By taking this approach, we recently helped a fitness company that thought it had saturated its audience capture new markets. We uncovered data that revealed six unique groups of potential new segments and tested carefully crafted, audience-specific social campaigns and conversion funnels to uncover a brand-new audience that drove 300% more conversion than the control audience.
Finally, create a road map of the customer journey, and pinpoint exactly what's working and what isn't on every marketing channel. A majority of marketing leaders admit they don't have a firm understanding of their customers' journey; a journey map will clarify this and help your teams zero in on problems they can solve through enhanced design. Leveraged correctly, customer journey maps are akin to treasure maps. They lead you to gold.
Data-driven design guarantees that your campaigns will be more relevant, more inspiring, and higher-performing than the shot-in-the-dark strategies of yesteryear.
Why cross your fingers and hope for a 10% improvement when you can grow 10 times over with certainty? Data-driven design requires some investment, sure. But it will result in the best ROI your department has ever seen.

Copper Beneficiation
Brief Introduction of Copper Ore:
Copper ore is one of the basic chemical elements. In its nearly pure state, copper is a reddish-orange metal known for its high thermal and electrical conductivity. It is commonly used to produce a wide variety of products, including electrical wire, cooking pots and pans, pipes and tubes, automobile radiators, and many others. Copper is also used as a pigment and preservative for paper, paint, textiles, and wood. It is combined with zinc to produce brass and with tin to produce bronze.
The Process of Copper Beneficiation:
The process of extracting copper from copper ore varies according to the type of ore and the desired purity of the final product. Each process consists of several steps in which unwanted materials are physically or chemically removed, and the concentration of copper is progressively increased. Some of these steps are conducted at the mine site itself, while others may be conducted at separate facilities.
Here are the steps used to process the sulfide ores commonly found in the western United States.
Mining Steps of Copper Beneficiation:
1 Most sulfide ores are taken from huge open-pit mines by drilling and blasting with explosives. In this type of mining, the material located above the ore, called the overburden, is first removed to expose the buried ore deposit. This produces an open pit that may grow to be a mile or more across. A road to allow access for equipment spirals down the interior slopes of the pit.
2 The exposed ore is scooped up by large power shovels capable of loading 500-900 cubic feet (15-25 cubic meters) in a single bite. The ore is loaded into giant dump trucks, called haul trucks, and is transported up and out of the pit.
Concentrating Stage of Copper Beneficiation:
The copper ore usually contains a large amount of dirt, clay, and a variety of non-copper bearing minerals. The first step is to remove some of this waste material. This process is called concentrating and is usually done by the flotation method of copper beneficiation.
A cone crusher consists of an interior grinding cone that rotates on an eccentric vertical axis inside a fixed outer cone. As the ore is fed into the top of the crusher, it is squeezed between the two cones and broken into smaller pieces.
4 The crushed ore is then ground even smaller by a series of mills. First, it is mixed with water and placed in a rod mill, which consists of a large cylindrical container filled with numerous short lengths of steel rod. As the cylinder rotates on its horizontal axis, the steel rods tumble and break up the ore into pieces about 0.13 in (3 mm) in diameter. The mixture of ore and water is further broken up in two ball mills, which are like a rod mill except steel balls are used instead of rods. The slurry of finely ground ore that emerges from the final ball mill contains particles about 0.01 in (0.25 mm) in diameter.
5 The slurry is mixed with various chemical reagents, which coat the copper particles. A liquid, called a frother, is also added. Pine oil or long-chain alcohol are often used as frothers. This mixture is pumped into rectangular tanks, called flotation cells, where air is injected into the slurry through the bottom of the tanks. The chemical reagents make the copper particles cling to the bubbles as they rise to the surface. The frother forms a thick layer of bubbles, which overflows the tanks and is collected in troughs. The bubbles are allowed to condense and the water is drained off. The resulting mixture, called a copper concentrate, contains about 25-35% copper along with various sulfides of copper and iron, plus smaller concentrations of gold, silver, and other materials. The remaining materials in the tank are called the gangue or tailings. They are pumped into settling ponds and allowed to dry. Solution Email to [email protected]

2019 Federal Budget: What it means for Small and Medium Business
by Wendy le Noble | Apr 3, 2019 | Tax Cuts, Tax News, Updates
From NAB Business Research and Insights 3rd Apr 2019.
Small business won tax cuts, an increase to the instant asset write-off, increased infrastructure spending and investment in apprenticeships.
By NAB Group Economics
Our Group Economics View
Alan Oster, Group Chief Economist, NAB
This Budget needs to be seen in its political context. It is more like an election manifesto than a traditional Budget and big questions remain around what parts, if any, will actually be implemented.
Firstly, the fact that the Budget is projected to return to surplus is unquestionably a good start. That has largely occurred on the back of expenditure constraint, bracket creep and higher commodity prices (especially iron ore, where the difference between the current and the previous forecast price is – on our estimates – around $7bn per annum). Also, the economic forecasts are unlikely to fundamentally change.
The Budget itself included a lot of headlines about personal income taxes. In the near term the low to medium income tax offset has doubled to a maximum of $1,080 per annum and the second tax threshold (of 32.5%) has been raised from $87k to $90k. However, the significant tax adjustments don't come until 2022/2023. The near-term cost to the Budget is only $700m per annum, whereas $4.5bn of the total spend of $6.7bn will come in the final year (in 2023). Also, a lot more money is given to the tax office to improve integrity but again is mainly spent in the out years.
The infrastructure package has been boosted by around $25bn to around $100bn in the long-run. However, in the next four years the additional spend is around $4.5bn with the big-ticket items including the Urban Congestion Fund, Victorian fast train (Melbourne to Geelong) and the Road Safety Program. To alleviate the impact of high energy prices the Government is also making a one-off tax-free payment to about 3.9 million welfare recipients (singles receive $75 and couples $125). SMEs also get a tax cut to 25% (phased in over three years) while the instant asset write-off rises to $30k per investment (and $50m of turnover).
It will be interesting to see how Labor responds to the personal tax changes. Labor may keep the near-term adjustments but aim to produce bigger and nearer cuts at the bottom end (their current stance is to concentrate tax cuts below the $125k).
It is clear that the Budget has been constrained to keep the surplus. The Government has retained the tax to GDP limit of 23.9% of GDP but the surplus doesn't go much above 0.7% in the next four years. That means that the Budget over the next few years adds little by way of fiscal restraint in the out years. Most of the improvement in revenue continues to rely on income taxes (bracket creep) till 2022/2023. The outlays continue to shrink as a percent of GDP (a better performance than in recent years – which may have benefited from NDIS underspend).
In our view, the Budget is not as stimulatory as is seems to be – or is being promoted as. It does not change our view on the economic outlook or how consumers will see their expenditure decisions. Nor would the outlook of the RBA be much affected.
Small business groups' agenda for reform
Small business is the backbone of our economy and our communities – there are over 2 million small businesses in Australia employing more than 4.7 million people.
NAB's latest Quarterly SME Business Survey (Q4 2018), showed SME business conditions continued to decline, though remain just above average (after reaching high levels earlier in the year). Confidence also weakened and is below average. Conditions remain most favourable on the east coast, with Victoria still recording well above average conditions, while WA and SA continue to lag the other states. The major constraints on output identified by SMEs continued to be sales and orders (i.e. demand) and the difficulty in finding suitable labour.
In this environment, businesses set out a wish list of potential reforms and changes as part of their pre-budget submissions. This year, the list of recommendations included a range of ideas.
Extension of instant asset write-off: In January 2019, the Government announced the $20,000 instant asset write-off scheme for businesses turning over less than $10m will be extended to 2020. The scheme will also be extended to cover assets up to $25,000. While many business groups welcomed the announcement, many have also called for the instant asset write-off to be permanent for small business, with some groups even urging Government to explore further investment allowances for asset purchases above $25,000.
Tax cuts: Currently, companies with an aggregated turnover of less than $25m, and have no more than 80% of their assessable income as base rate entity passive income have a tax rate of 27.5%. In October 2018, the Government introduced the Treasury Laws Amendment to accelerate future reductions in the corporate tax rate for small businesses to 26% for the 2020/2021 and 25% in 2021/2022 and subsequent income years. This move has been strongly supported by small business groups.
But given many small businesses rely on sales and services contracts with larger businesses, industry groups such the Australian Chamber of Commerce have also called for a single company tax rate of 25% for all businesses (small, medium or large) by 2024/2025 to encourage larger business to invest, with flow on benefits for small businesses.
Training, Education & Employment: The Council of Small Business of Australia (COSBOA) has urged Government to focus on the skills needs of employees and businesses (rather than the training sector) and to move skills training back to the Department of Industry. They also want funding of welfare and community-based training to be separated from skills-based training, as COSBOA is of the view employers should not be asked to take the place of welfare and social workers. COSBOA is urging the Government to provide greater support for group training of apprentices into small businesses. NAB's latest Quarterly SME Survey (Q4 2018) also indicates that finding suitable labour continues to be a key constraint to output and it remains at a relatively high level.
Business simplification: According to NAB Bankers (NAB Business Banker Survey January 2019), Government policy and regulation is the most influential factor influencing the business conditions of their customers. Business groups are also calling for the removal of unnecessary red tape or poorly designed compliance processes. For example, COSBOA believes employers need to be removed from managing paid parental leave (PPL) payments on behalf of the Government. Master Builders Australia believes the burden of regulation and bureaucracy is particularly onerous on the building sector and recommended the Federal Budget take account of this situation.
Access to finance: Tighter lending requirements in the wake of the Banking Royal Commission have been particularly problematic for small business looking to access funds. Indeed, NAB's latest Commercial Property Surveys found accessing finance for developers was harder than at any time since the Survey began in 2010. Consequently, industry groups have called for a review of prudential regulations and capital requirements that increase the cost of capital for small businesses.
Other: There were a range of other ideas including: relief from high energy prices; and reducing company registration fees charged by ASIC as a tangible measure to support Australian small businesses.
What the budget actually delivered for SMEs
While not meeting their entire "wish list", small business is a winner from the Budget, with the Government describing it as "the engine room of the economy". The most significant benefits for small business include tax cuts, an increase to the instant asset write-off, increased infrastructure spending and investment in apprenticeships. Personal tax cuts and increased infrastructure spending should also flow through to SMEs. While the Government announced plans to hand out one-off payments for consumer electricity bill relief, missing was any relief for small business.
The instant asset write-off, which allows businesses to write-off assets (such as tools or equipment) against their taxable income,has been extended and expanded. It will now cover purchases under $30,000, up from $25,000, and can be used by businesses with an annual turnover of under $50m, up from a $10m limit previously. Medium sized businesses will welcome this new access to the scheme. The threshold applies on a per asset basis so businesses will be able to instantly write off multiple assets. Around 22,000 additional businesses employing approximately 1.7 million people will now be eligible for the tax write-off with the changes projected to cost the budget $400m over four years. These changes will apply from April 2019 to 30 June 2020 – it isn't a permanent scheme like the industry had hoped for. In total, these changes will benefit around 3.4 million businesses employing around 7.7 million workers. The Government's decision to increase and extend the instant asset write-off should help to alleviate cash flow pressures for SMEs and help them with their expansion plans.
The Government also announced that the corporate tax rate for companies with annual turnover of less than $50m will fall from 27.5% to 26% next year and 25% starting in 2021/2022. This five years earlier than previously planned and is expected to benefit roughly 970,000 companies. The Government will also increase the unincorporated small business (up to $1,000) tax discount rate from 8% in 2019/2020 to 13% in 2020/2021 and 16% in 2021/2022.
In recognition of SME concerns around skill shortages(a key constraint to their output), the Budget contained a $525m investment in vocational education and training directed towards "areas of future high demand" – albeit only $54.2m is new money over five years and the majority ($463m) in part from reallocating Skilling Australians Fund money unspent because Queensland and Victoria did not sign up to the scheme.
Vocational education and apprenticeship numbers have suffered in recent years, with funding cited by businesses as a significant factor. Incentive payments to employers will double to $8,000. Employers will receive $4,000 ($2,000 after the first 12 months of an apprenticeship and $2,000 at its completion) on top of an existing $4,000 employer incentive. There is also a total payment of $2,000 for the apprentices themselves ($1,000 after 12 months and $1,000 at the end of their apprenticeship). The Government says these measures (at a cost of $156.3m), will support up to 80,000 new apprenticeships over five years and the list of eligible occupations will be reviewed annually to reflect skills shortages.
An additional $48.3m will be put into establishing a National Skills Commission. The package is in response to an as-yet unpublished review by former New Zealand tertiary education minister Steven Joyce. A national careers institute and careers ambassador will also be introduced to help promote vocational education.
The Budget also proposes 10 "training hubs" across Australia at a cost of $50.6m over four years, focusing on training in industries that have a local skills shortage. It is designed to target youth unemployment in regional areas.
The Government will also provide $60m over three years from 2019/2020 to top up the Export Market Development Grants (EMDG) scheme (along with a further $1m in 2019/2020 for promoting Australian industry overseas). The EMDG scheme is aimed at helping SMEs to develop export markets and is a popular support program for tech companies and start-ups. The Export Market Development Grants (EMDG) program provides reimbursement for export promotion expenses for businesses with an annual turnover of less than $50m. Eligible activities include attending trade shows overseas, digital advertising, marketing consultant fees and visa fees. The scheme reimburses up to 50 per cent of eligible expenses above $5,000, with a total grant on offer of $150,000.
While this new money will be welcomed by SMEs, the Budget did not address concerns that Government grant programs are inaccessible and onerous for SMEs to apply for. Moreover, the Budget papers did not provide detail in regards to how Australian industries would be promoted overseas.
How did business react?
Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman, Kate Carnell said they were "pleased the instant asset write-off has been increased to $30,000 and expanded to businesses with a turnover of up to $50m, but had hoped the threshold was higher to capture capital intensive businesses, such as primary producers". Ms Carnell also noted that "personal tax cuts to more than 10 million taxpayers means more money in people's pockets which means more capacity to spend in their local small businesses" and that "an increase in infrastructure spending – $100bn over 10 years – is a positive for all Australians and particularly for small to medium enterprises (SMEs)".
The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry welcomed the support for small business and skills. CEO, James Pearson, said: "The Government has heard our calls for greater investment in the skills needed by industry. Both job seekers and business will benefit, including from the extra support directly to apprentices and the businesses that employ them….This investment in skills, combined with the increase in investment in infrastructure in both cities and regional communities, should deliver a meaningful and positive impact on productivity….Making it easier for people to get to and from their place of work, speeding up the transport of goods and delivery of services, and encouraging growth in regional communities makes sense".
Business Council of Australia's chief executive, Jennifer Westacott said, described the Budget as "strong and responsible" as it delivers "a surplus, lowers personal income taxes and invests in jobs, health, education and infrastructure…Returning to a serious and credible surplus matters enormously to meeting the cost of the future such as the $100bn earmarked for much needed infrastructure and sustaining high living standards." And, the increase in the instant asset write-off for small and medium business and expanding the eligibility to claim "will help drive activity in the business community".

Day 1 Lisbon, Portugal
Set on seven hills on the banks of the River Tagus, Lisbon has been the capital of Portugal since the 13th century. It is a city famous for its majestic architecture, old wooden trams, Moorish features and more than twenty centuries of history. Following disastrous earthquakes in the 18th century, Lisbon was rebuilt by the Marques de Pombal who created an elegant city with wide boulevards and a great riverfront and square, Praça do Comércio. Today there are distinct modern and ancient sections, combining great shopping with culture and sightseeing in the Old Town, built on the city's terraced hillsides. The distance between the ship and your tour vehicle may vary. This distance is not included in the excursion grades.
Day 4 Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal
Offering solace on the long journey across the Atlantic, Ponta Delgada is the Azores Islands' largest city, and a welcome relief for any weary sailor. Located on an archipelago of Portuguese islands, some 1,100 miles from the mainland, you can explore humbling volcanic scenery, as well as Sao Miguel's verdant landscape - which glows with colour when the hydrangeas that the Azores are known for bloom into life during the summer months. The striking black and white facade of the Church of Sao Jose welcomes you to the city itself, while you can head to the markets to pick up the pineapples, tea leaves and coffee beans that add a little flavour to the island. As the largest city of the Azores, Ponta Delgada is well stocked with places to eat delicious local seafood, or pick up a little shopping, as you enjoy setting your feet on dry land, following a long journey at sea. Volcanic firepower has carved these stunning islands, and a journey up to Caldeira das Sete Cidades is a must do, where you can hike beside the water-filled crater, and admire views of steep green walls, and the uninterrupted Atlantic Ocean stretching beyond them. Lagoa de Fogo offers yet more humbling views, with the crater lake dropping off sharply to rippled ocean far below.
Days 5-10 Cruising
Day 11 New York, New York, United States
From Wall Street's skyscrapers to the neon of Times Square to Central Park's leafy paths, New York City pulses with an irrepressible energy. History meets hipness in this global center of entertainment, fashion, media, and finance. World-class museums like MoMA and unforgettable icons like the Statue of Liberty beckon, but discovering the subtler strains of New York's vast ambition is equally rewarding: ethnic enclaves and shops, historic streets of dignified brownstones, and trendy bars and eateries all add to the urban buzz.

Ban Ki-moon appears in Korean cult group's PR video

By Lee Jin-a
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has denied any involvement with the Shincheonji cult after video footage showed him with the head of an affiliated group.
On Dec. 10 and 17, International Women's Peace Group (IWPG), the Shincheonji-affiliated organization, uploaded promotional videos in English and Arabic on YouTube. In the footage, Ban appears smiling and holding hands with Kim Nam-hee, the IWPG head.
In the English video, IWPG says: "On International Women's Day each year, IWPG Chairwoman Nam Hee Kim is invited to the U.N."
After showing Ban and Kim holding hands, the caption read: "The U.N. and IWPG join hands of peace."
The videos made headlines because they suggest Ban, a possible Korean presidential candidate, may have a connection with the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (SCJ), which is viewed as "heretical" by mainstream Korean Christians.
Founded in 1984 by Lee Man-hee, Shincheonji came under scrutiny in 2007 when a television report claimed that followers believe Lee has eternal life.
"Lee Man-hee, the Shincheonji leader, often boasted his influence through taking pictures with then presidential candidates, including Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak," Shin Hyeon-wook, a head of the national anti-Shincheonji association, told CBS No Cut News. "I suspect Lee might want to do the same with the footage of Ban."
The IWPG head is reportedly the closest person to Lee and regarded as the next Shincheonji leader.
"It is more likely that Kim Nam-hee tried to whitewash the negative reputation of the Shincheonji Church by boasting her connection with Ban, who is familiar to the public," said Pastor Daniel Ha from the Korea Christian Heresy Countermeasure Council.
Meanwhile, Ban denied any connection to Kim.
"The picture was taken by accident at the 'International Women's Day' event held in New York," Ban's spokesman told Yonhap News Agency on Thursday. "It is difficult for Ban to reject a request to take a picture with him at a public event as secretary general. There were countless people who requested a picture like Kim.
"Ban does not know Kim at all."

Seyfarth Synopsis: In a victory for employers, OSHA has rescinded its policy allowing union representatives to participate in OSHA inspections of non-union employers.
We blogged previously about OSHA's 2013 standard interpretation guidance letter allowing workers in non-union workplaces to designate a union representative to act as a "walk-around representative" during OSHA compliance inspections. At the time, we cautioned that an undesirable consequence of the interpretation was that it allowed outsiders with interests potentially contrary to the employer's to influence the compliance inspection in an effort to generate union support amongst employees. Since its issuance, OSHA has used the letter to force union participation in inspections of non-union workplaces over employer objections.
In September, 2016 the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) sued in Federal Court to challenge OSHA's "illegal administrative expansion" of the "walk-around" right. The NFIB complaint focused on the fact that, for over four decades, OSHA construed the Act to "afford employees a limited right to accompany an OSHA compliance safety and health officer during a workplace inspection." See 29 C.F.R. § 1903.8.
OSHA responded to the suit by filing a motion to dismiss in which it raised a number of threshold arguments before attacking the substance of NFIB's claims. On February 3, 2017, the federal court put a serious dent in OSHA's continued reliance on the interpretation in a ruling signaling victory to the rising chorus of objections from the business community. The court flatly rejected OSHA's threshold arguments and then sided with NFIB's argument that the letter was a legislative rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking, not "interpretive guidance" as OSHA contended. In reaching this conclusion, the court observed that the letter "flatly contradicts a prior legislative rule as to whether the employee representative must himself be an employee," and, in turn, should have gone through the formal rulemaking process.
Following OSHA's rescission, NFIB voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit.

LOCATION: About 2 miles East of where Saltair is located today, just off of I-80 and SR202 on the way to Tooele. Take the exit to go to where Saltair stands today. On the frontage road, turn East. Go about two miles. You'll see an old train car with rubble and an old building. That is the road to where Saltair used to stand. The building and train car are on private property, so you need to go to the next gate heading East, park there, and walk down that service road. THEN you can walk over to the old Saltair road, go to the end of it, and to your left is where you will find all of the remains from the old Ship Cafe.
This is an adventure that you are going to want to spend many hours doing. Make sure to wear good walking shoes!
I have always been intrigued with Saltair and the area. When I was little, my mom used to take us to the beach out there. We always had a GREAT time! Then, in High School, my friends and I would go exploring through all the ruins and such that still remain of the original resort, and the train cars that used to take people there. While attending a dance at Saltair in 1997, I met my hubby Russ. I recently discovered that a picture exists of my Great Grandma in the early 1900s on the train on her way out to Saltair.
Saltair has always been very interesting to me. I love seeing the turn of the century pictures of people swimming and having fun, and what a hopping place it was! I would love to be able to go back in time and live one day during that time period!
I recently read an article by The Boneville Mariner that explained how the Ship Cafe burned down in the early 1900s, and all of the dishes and such went underwater. Well, because of the recent low water level of the Great Salt Lake, all of the dishes are uncovered and just sitting out there. ADVICE: DO NOT take any of these dishes or artifacts. Becuase they are historic artifacts, you can be prosecuted, and there are people that watch!
We went treasure hunting out there and it was SOOO much fun! I thought we'd be lucky to find one or two dishes or cups. Oh, no! There were HUNDREDS of them laying in the sand! They've been there since the 1920s! They've just been covered with water!
Ruins Are All That Remain of "Coney Island Of The West"
Bonneville Mariner has many articles about the history of Saltair.
We took our kids (11,9,7,and 4) here yesterday. They had so much fun looking for treasures! Thanks for the idea! It was a fun day!
Very cool! Glad you had a good time! Were you able to find a bunch of old dishes and burned sinks?! SO sad that they are all just sitting out there in the sun, since the 1920s! Did you take some cool pictures?!
We have not been able to find the dishes, etc... We went last year and are trying again today. When we went there wasn't a train car. Any suggestions or more directions would be much appreciated! Thank you!
We actually found it this time... After 4 miles of walking! Hooray! Thanks for your blog!
Yay! So glad you were able to find them!

Wed., Jan. 30, 2019: Today you will leave the United States on a trans-continental flight to Tel Aviv, Israel. Your flight departs late in the afternoon and arrives in Israel in the morning of the next day.
This morning you will have an early check-out from your hotel and leave the beautiful Sea of Galilee, following alongside the Gilboa mountain range. At Harrod's Springs you will see where Judge Gideon tested his men before the battle with the Midianites in the valley between Gilboa and Mt. Moreh. From there you will visit the last site before your journey down the Jordan Valley, Bet Shan. While not mentioned in the New Testament, it is an Old Testament city and the best preserved Roman city from that period in Israel today. You will have lunch, a break and then begin to descend toward the Plains of Jericho as you head to Qumran , the center of the Essenes. Qumran is home of the ancient caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.

Masada is a symbol of courage and perseverance for the Jewish people, where 960 Jewish defenders organized their last resistance to the roman conquerors and took their own lives rather than surrender into slavery. From there, you will continue northward in the desert where ibex roam at Ein Gedi, David's hideout from Saul. Time permitting, you will stop at Wadi Qelt to overlook the barren Judean wilderness and the Valley of the Shadow of Death. After passing by ancient Jericho the climb to Jerusalem begins while viewing scenery and traveling the same route the ancient pilgrims would have taken as they made their journey to Jerusalem for the great feasts of Israel. Today you finally arrive in the City of God, the City of David and the ancient and modern capital of Israel, Jerusalem. Your heart will leap with emotion as you stand on the overlooks of the Mount of Olives and see the breathtaking Mountain of Moriah. It is there where Abraham was to offer Isaac, Solomon built the first temple, and where Jesus walked, taught, died, rose again and will one day return in great glory! This is only the beginning. You check into your hotel, have dinner and enjoy the first of five nights in your lovely hotel in Jerusalem.
Tues.-Fri., Feb. 5-8: Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem!
You will complete your tour of Israel on the last afternoon, at Calvary and the Garden Tomb. After that awesome experience you share a sumptuous Farewell Dinner before returning to your hotel for your last overnight in Jerusalem, the City of God.
After a very early morning checkout, you depart for Tel Aviv for your flight to the US. With memories that will last for a lifetime and with plans to return and bring others back to experience God's Holy Land – Israel! Blessed traveling from all of us at TLC Holyland Tours!

La lateralidad es la preferencia que muestra la mayoría de los seres humanos por un lado de su propio cuerpo. Un ejemplo más popular es la preferencia por utilizar la mano derecha o ser diestro. También puede ser aplicado tanto a los animales como a las plantas.

Lateralidad humana

La mayoría de los seres humanos son diestros. También la mayoría muestran un predominio del lado derecho. Es decir, que si se ven obligados a elegir prefieren emplear el ojo, o el pie o el oído derecho. La causa (o causas) de la lateralidad no se comprenden del todo, pero se piensa que el hemisferio cerebral izquierdo controla el lado derecho del cuerpo, y el hemisferio izquierdo resulta ser el predominante. Ello es así en un 87-92 % de los seres humanos porque en la mayoría de los casos el hemisferio cerebral izquierdo es el encargado del lenguaje.

Lateralidad forzada

Cuando una persona es forzada a usar la mano contraria a la que usa de manera natural, se habla de lateralidad forzada (en el caso de los no diestros, "zurdos contrariados"). Un estudio realizado por el Departamento de Neurología de la Universidad de Klee (North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary) indica que la lateralidad forzada explicaría los reducidos porcentajes de zurdos en la población de mayor edad en el momento de realizarse esa investigación.

La mayoría de los diestros dibuja círculos en sentido levógiro (o sentido antihorario), y no dextrógiro (o sentido horario), lo que avalaría la tesis de la dominancia del hemisferio izquierdo del cerebro.

Ambidestreza y lateralidad cruzada

Se denomina ambidiestra (o ambidextra) a aquella persona que escribe con ambas manos o que utiliza ambos lados del cuerpo con la misma habilidad. La ambidestreza es, sin embargo, muy rara. Incluso aquellas que son ambidiestras muestran una propensión a utilizar un lado del cuerpo más que el otro. En todo caso, el dominio de un lado del cuerpo no es constante en cada persona: un individuo puede escribir con la izquierda, pero comer o practicar un deporte con la derecha (lo que se llama lateralidad cruzada). Puede suceder, incluso, que la lateralidad cruzada obedezca a un entrenamiento o al diseño de la herramienta que se emplea. A este respecto, las estadísticas indican lo siguiente:

Predominio de la mano derecha: 88.2%. Predominio del pie derecho: 81.0%. Predominio del ojo derecho: 71.1%. Predominio del oído derecho: 59.1%. Mano y pie del mismo lado: el 84%. Ojo y oído del mismo lado: 61.8%.

Para trabajar con niños con lateralidad cruzada es fundamental la supervisión de un optometrista, ya que este tipo de trastorno pone en riesgo factores de aprendizaje que pueden terminar derivando en abandono escolar, aunque esto es normalmente relativo a la lateralidad del niño.

Its ESSENTIAL you read this information as it also includes a new update on night fishing which will not be permitted at this stage.

The Return of Angling
by Wayne Thomas | posted in: Articles, At the Waters Edge, Sidebar | 0
I have copied the relevant section that relates to angling for clear guidance. I have read a lot of speculation regarding regulations but from what I can see its fairly clear. You can go fishing providing social distance is maintained. Competitive angling and charter boat fishing is not presently on the agenda and suspect it will be July at the earliest before this returns. It would be good if tackle shops could open but my interpretation is that it will be June before this happens.
I confess that I have not read all fifty pages of the report that can reviewed via the below link.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/our-plan-to-rebuild-the-uk-governments-covid-19-recovery-strategy/our-plan-to-rebuild-the-uk-governments-covid-19-recovery-strategy
SAGE advise that the risk of infection outside is significantly lower than inside, so the Government is updating the rules so that, as well as exercise, people can also now spend time outdoors subject to: not meeting up with any more than one person from outside your household; continued compliance with social distancing guidelines to remain two metres (6ft) away from people outside your household; good hand hygiene, particularly with respect to shared surfaces; and those responsible for public places being able to put appropriate measures in place to follow the new COVID-19 secure guidance.
People may exercise outside as many times each day as they wish. For example, this would include angling and tennis. You will still not be able to use areas like playgrounds, outdoor gyms or ticketed outdoor leisure venues, where there is a higher risk of close contact and touching surfaces. You can only exercise with up to one person from outside your household – this means you should not play team sports, except with members of your own household.
People may drive to outdoor open spaces irrespective of distance, so long as they respect social distancing guidance while they are there, because this does not involve contact with people outside your household.
When travelling to outdoor spaces, it is important that people respect the rules in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and do not travel to different parts of the UKwhere it would be inconsistent with guidance or regulations issued by the relevant devolved administration.
These measures may come with some risk; it is important that everyone continues to act responsibly, as the large majority have done to date. The infection rate will increase if people begin to break these rules and, for example, mix in groups in parks, which will trigger the need for further restrictions.

ANGLING TRUST CONFIRM FISHING TO RESUME ON WEDNESDAY
by Wayne Thomas | posted in: Article, At the Waters Edge, Carp Fishing, Coarse Fishing, Game Fishing, Sea Angling, Sidebar | 0
Looking Good stay Safe and follow the rules.
The Angling Trust has given a warm welcome to the announcement today (May 10th) by Prime Minster Boris Johnson that recreational fishing looks set to resume in England on Wednesday, May 13th.
The Prime Minister announced the resumption of 'unlimited outdoor sports' from Wednesday providing they are conducted alone or with members of the same household and that social distancing rules are followed at all times.
A government source confirmed that "outdoor exercise includes angling, golf, water sports and tennis providing social distanced from Wednesday."
The decision to include outdoor activities such as angling in the first wave of newly permitted activities followed weeks of intense advocacy and lobbying by the Angling Trust which unified the angling community like never before and saw over 8,000 individual emails sent to MPs and dozens of articles in the regional and national press in support of a safe return for angling.
The Prime Minister is making a full statement to the House of Commons tomorrow and the Angling Trust will be seeking clarification about the reopening of tackle shops and confirmation of any restrictions on how angling should be practised during the next phase.
Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden MP tweeted:
"In the least risky outdoor environments we can imminently allow sports like golf, basketball, tennis and fishing."
Last month, a report from the Angling Trust entitled 'When We Fish Again' was submitted to Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove and the Fisheries and Sports Ministers arguing for recreational fishing to be designated as one of the first permitted outdoor sports when ministers begin to relax the coronavirus lockdown restrictions. It was backed by national angling and fisheries groups including the Canal & River Trust, Salmon & Trout Conservation, the Institute of Fisheries Management and representatives of the angling trade which is estimated to be worth a total of £4bn to the UK economy.
The report recommended a phased resumption in line with the government's own criteria and identified a number of good reasons why angling should be an early candidate for consideration including:
being a largely solitary sport where self isolation occurs naturally
proven benefits for mental health and social well-being
a reduction in pressure on other public open spaces
evidence that non-contact outdoor activities will not increase infection rates
angling appeals to people of all ages and backgrounds and engages able-bodied and disabled participants alike
the majority of the population live close to a waterway minimising the need for significant travel.
The Angling Trust's proposal attracted the support of MPs of all parties and from prominent figures within the angling community.
Reacting to the news, Angling Trust CEO Jamie Cook said:
"I couldn't be more pleased to see the hard work of the Angling Trust and our supporters delivering such an outstanding result for everyone who loves to go fishing. We have demonstrated to the satisfaction of government that angling can be permitted as a safe, healthy, beneficial outdoor activity and why it can take its rightful position at the front of the queue as restrictions are relaxed.
"Our effective and professional campaign was in support of a carefully thought through set of phased guidelines under which angling could be safely permitted without increasing the risk of COVID-19 transmissions. Without these guidelines we would have got nowhere and it is now incumbent upon every angler to respect them and demonstrate that we are still playing our part in the nationwide battle against the coronavirus."
Angling Trust Policy Chief Martin Salter said:
"There is still work to do to get the tackle shops open and to provide good advice to fisheries, angling guides and coaches but it looks like we are there and it's no longer a question of When We Fish Again but 'where are we going fishing on Wednesday?' We have run a fabulous campaign but we couldn't have done it without the support of thousands of anglers who wrote to their MPs and of some of the top names in our sport who gave us their time and expertise."
Korda and Guru Marketing boss Ali Hamidi added:
"This is incredible news for Angling. Fishing can commence from Wednesday. The excellent work of the Angling Trust has made a distant dream a reality. I'm going to name my next 100 carp after Martin Salter and Jamie Cook."
The Angling Trust has today published further Phase One Guidelines for clubs and fisheries to help them prepare for the resumption of angling on their waters on May 13th.
Jamie Cook and Martin Salter will be answering anglers questions on a Facebook Live session tomorrow (Monday, May 11th) at 6pm. Details to follow on the Angling Trust Facebook page.

Contemplation in Surreal Times
by Wayne Thomas | posted in: At the Waters Edge, Sidebar | 0
Life is a little surreal right now perhaps with more time for contemplation. Pauline was sorting through an old tin of my late mothers' memories. Most of the images raised little interest for me as I read a recently acquired book by my favourite author.
Then she came upon this old photo. Who was the fisherman in this old black and white photograph I wondered? I suspect it was my Uncle Jack who my mother recalled was a keen angler. The River was likely to be the Warwickshire Avon on a tranquil summers day in the 1940's or early fifties.
I recall fishing the Avon several years ago on a warm September evening. Pauline and I sat beside the River opposite the Shakespeare Theatre and I drifted a float that dipped from time to time as plump gudgeon and roach seized the maggots. I was pleased to catch the gudgeon as it was these delightful fish that my mother once told me she had caught close to this very spot. Pauline and I chatted to a cheerful young man with a dog. Strange how some memories remain etched in the mind. Sometimes I wonder where the fishing gene came from for my family are not awash with keen anglers.
Part way through these jottings we went for our daily exercise or Boris walk as some have christened it. The sun was slowly sinking and wispy clouds decorated the evening sky. As we walked towards an old farm house swallows and martins swooped above in a timeless scene. Perhaps we as anglers haunt the same waters over many generations returning as time slowly drifts through the ages.
Contemplation, fishing
Thought for VE Day
by Wayne Thomas | posted in: Article, At the Waters Edge, Sidebar | 0
In these troubled times we look back at the dark days of the second world war and some have drawn parallels to those dark times. Can we really compare the sacrifice of staying home to stay safe with the terror and destruction of a conflict that raged for more than six years?
I recalled a photo I saw a few years ago sat upon the mantle piece of a fishing hut beside the peacefully flowing River Torridge. It is somehow reassuring to stand beside a river and feel the continuity of nature. I am sure there were anglers who rested here thankful to have survived the horrors of conflict whilst casting a line across tranquil waters.
In the coming months it is to be hoped that anglers can once again return to the waters edge. Sadly the numbers of salmon are much depleted since those days 75 years ago when the nation celebrated Victory in Europe.

Set amid the wild and stormy Yorkshire moors, Wuthering Heights, an unpolished and devastating epic of childhood playmates who grow into soul mates, is widely regarded as the most original tale of thwarted desire and heartbreak in the English language.
Perhaps the most haunting and tragic love story ever written, Wuthering Heights is the tale of Heathcliff, a brooding, troubled orphan, and his doomed love for Catherine Earnshaw. His desire for her leads him to madness when Catherine is made to marry a wealthy lord, sending Heathcliff on a lifelong quest to avenge himself upon those who stole his only love and his life.
In this gripping chronicle of the never-ending conflict between the heart and the mind—and the pain and passion of true romance—Emily Brontë created an unforgettable classic saga of love, desperation, vengeance, and forgiveness. Published just one year before Brontë's death in 1848 at the age of thirty, Wuthering Heights endures as one of the world's greatest love stories and a classic of English literature.
"[Flosnik] masterfully alters her voice for each character.... Without being overly dramatic, Flosnik inserts passion into the dialogue and vividly conveys Brontë's imagery." ---AudioFile

Last May 09, 2008, CRL was awarded its PNS ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certificates of accreditation by the Department of Trade and Industry's Philippine Accreditation Office (PAO-DTI).
The PAO-DTI group, headed by Ms. Cirila Botor and Ms. Perla Baje awarded the certificates to CRL.
CRL received two certificates; one for Chemical Testing and another accreditation for Microbiological Testing (see attached Pdf files).
The awarding of these certificates validates and re-affirms CRL's efforts towards becoming a premier laboratory not only in the Philippines but in Asia as well.
The accreditation aims to improve traceability through systematic documentation, improve the entire process flow of the organization, and upon full implementation, it will allow CRL to serve its clients more efficiently.
What is ISO/IEC 17025:2005 ?
ISO/IEC 17025:2005 is for use by laboratories in developing their management system for quality, administrative and technical operations. Laboratory customers, regulatory authorities and accreditation bodies may also use it in confirming or recognizing the competence of laboratories.


A former Deputy Finance Minister under the previous Mahama led administration, Cassiel Ato Forson has cautioned the current administration not leave behind a ''huge debt'' following the announcement by government that it was considering a $50billion century bond A statement issued by the legislator and Minority's Spokesperson for Finance said.
'' I find this idea of floating a $50 billion Century Bond by this Government rather puzzling. It was this same Government that rejected a 40-year Development Plan aimed at putting the country on the path of prosperity and long term development, on the pretext that the planned period was too long.
Now the Government is considering committing a sovereign nation to a 100-year bond.'' In his view, the move when enforced will have dire consequences on Ghana's economy. He said, ''Considering the fact that Ghana's total revenue is only enough to service current Debt and Wages and salaries.
Read Below the full statement by Ato Forson: The $50 Billion Century BOND 1) During President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's visit to the People's Republic of China, he made it known that the Ministry of Finance and Economists in Ghana are considering floating a $50 billion Century Bond to provide resources to finance infrastructure and industrial development projects in the country.
2) I find this idea of floating a $50 billion Century Bond by this Government rather puzzling. It was this same Government that rejected a 40-year Development Plan aimed at putting the country on the path of prosperity and long term development, on the pretext that the planned period was too long.
Now the Government is considering committing a sovereign nation to a 100-year bond.
3) The nominal GDP of Ghana is currently projected at about GH? 242 billion by end of December 2018. Using a projected GH?/USD exchange of 5.1 by end December 2018, the projected Nominal GDP in USD by December 2018 is about $47 billion.
5) The projected tax revenue to GDP ratio of about 16.9% is just enough for debt servicing and payment of wages and salaries including Gratuity (compensation).
As a result, the Government is currently borrowing to settle statutory payment such as GETFUND, DACF, NHIL, RoadFund, etc. when due. Government is also borrowing to pay recurrent expenditures, such as discretionary spending on goods and services, and capital expenditure.
7) Ghana as country does not have an already prepared project of up to $50billion. Preparing a project of up to $50 billion for infrastructural and industrial development projects may take a minimum of 12 months, after which it will take 36 to 60 months to complete its implementation.
9) Ghana recently issued a 30 year bond at coupon rate of 9.6%. Even if we assume that the $50 billion bond is issued at a coupon rate of 7% per annum for a 100 year period, it means that the taxpayer will be required to service the debt to the tune of $3.5 billion per annum for a period of 100 years.
If all other things remain the same, it means that an amount of $350 billion will be used to service the debt over the period. Why do you commit a country for 100 years if you are not too sure of the debts servicing and future repayment?
10) Considering the fact that Ghana's total revenue is only enough to service current Debt and Wages and salaries. An additional Debt servicing of $3.5 billion will mean that Ghana will be borrowing from the domestic market an additional cedi equivalent of $3.5 billion from the domestic market to service the Debt.

Q: How to open the FONT settings programmatically in Android I know it is possible to invoke the device settings using action providers. However, I would like to invoke the FONT settings only.
I do not want to detected if the font was changed or not, only open the FONT settings menu.
Is there any way to do that avoiding creating my own implementation ?

A: "Settings -> Display -> Font Size" may not exist on all devices. Device manufacturers and ROM developers can customize the Settings app to their hearts' content.
At least on the Android 6.0 Nexus 5X I just tested, "Settings -> Display -> Font Size" is just a dialog. That is not independently launchable, because it is not an activity.
You are welcome to use ACTION_DISPLAY_SETTINGS to try to show the Display screen in Settings. The user still would have to tap on Font Size, and there may not be an activity that responds to that action string on all Android devices, as the documentation notes.

Joe Donnelly
Candidate joins race to lead Indiana Democratic Party
January 27, 2021 GMT
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The daughter of a former Indiana Republican governor wants to become the state Democratic Party's next leader.
Trish Whitcomb announced Wednesday her bid to replace state Democratic Chairman John Zody, who announced in November he wouldn't seek reelection to the position he's held for eight years.
Whitcomb's political work includes being manager in 2012 for Democrat Glena Ritz's campaign that unexpectedly won the state schools superintendent's race. She is a daughter of Ed Whitcomb, who was governor in 1969-73 and died in 2016.
The 2012 races by Ritz and Joe Donnelly for a U.S. Senate seat were the last statewide election victories for Indiana Democrats, who were routed in last year's elections and hold no positions of power in state government.
Former Democratic Rep. Karlee Macer of Indianapolis said Wednesday she was dropping her campaign to lead the state party because of a family medical issue.
Another possible candidate is Mike Schmuhl, who was the campaign manager of former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg's 2020 presidential campaign.
The state Democratic central committee is scheduled to vote on a new party leader in March.

A Gallipoli sono presenti 2 porti: uno antico nei pressi della Fontana greca e uno mercantile nella città vecchia.
Il porto antico ospita i pescherecci, chiamati paranze mentre il porto mercantile ospita navi di grandi dimensioni.
Nel XV sec. la città passa ai veneziani che iniziarono i lavori per edificare il porto - che fino a quel momento era solo un piccolo riparo per barche. Intorno al 1480, il porto di Gallipoli venne ristrutturato completamente dai Veneziani e successivamente passò in mano agli Aragonesi.

Ferdinando I di Borbone avviò la costruzione del porto che divenne nel Settecento la più importante piattaforma olearia del Mediterraneo per il commercio dell'olio per lampade (olio lampante). In quel periodo il porto divenne un punto di riferimento per il commercio soprattutto dell'olio lampante e del vino. Nel 1850 dopo ulteriori miglioramenti, divenne il porto più importante dell'area ionica del Salento. Gallipoli e il suo porto ebbero un'importanza fondamentale per il commercio dell'olio lampante. Dal suo porto partivano navi cariche di olio verso tutto il mondo. Tuttora risiedono in città i discendenti di famiglie genovesi, sarde, veneziane e napoletane di commercianti di olio che si spostarono a Gallipoli come gli Spinola, i Vallebona, i Calvi, ecc. Gran parte dell'olio prodotto o depositato nelle cisterne veniva venduto a Paesi esteri, i quali avevano rappresentanza in Gallipoli con propri vice consolati. In Gallipoli si ebbero fino al 1923 i consolati esteri di molte nazioni europee: Austria, Danimarca, Francia, Inghilterra, Impero ottomano, Paesi Bassi, Portogallo, Prussia, Russia, Spagna, Svezia e Norvegia, Turchia.  Il porto è protetto, dalle forti mareggiate, da due moli, il Molo Foraneo ed il Molo Tramontana. Inoltre nel porto arrivano navi che esportano in tutto il mondo cemento prodotto dalla ditta Colacem, il terzo produttore e distributore in Italia di cemento ed è la società capofila del Gruppo Financo.

Una moderna ristrutturazione si è avuta nel 1980 ed oggi il Porto Mercantile ha una estensione di 80.000 metri quadrati. Nel porto vi sono sedi della Capitaneria di Porto, Polizia di Stato squadra nautica, Guardia di Finanza, Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli.
Oggi è un importante fulcro commerciale e durante il periodo estivo diventa un importante scalo turistico per il Salento.
Tutti i giorni, al tramonto, le imbarcazioni rientrano nei porti per vendere il pesce pescato.
Presso il porto si svolge ogni anno la premiazione del Premio Barocco trasmesso in diretta dall'emittente televisiva RAI.

2013
Dopo una crisi di scambi che ha colpito il porto negli anni passati, nel 2013 vi è stato un aumento visibile di navi: queste hanno avuto degli scambi con l'Italia, nord Africa, Libia, Algeria e altre nazioni nel resto dell'Europa.
Sono stati registrati alcuni dati relativi all'esportazione di cemento di tonnellate pari a più di 200.000 tonnellate..

Murdoch to head TV and film business following News Corp split
News Corp has formerly announced its intent to separate its TV and films businesses from its publishing companies but Rupert Murdoch has denied that this means he will look again at taking full control of UK pay TV operator BSkyB.
News Corp will form two publicly listed companies, with one dealing with its media and entertainment assets and the other focussing on newspapers, book publishing and education. Murdoch will become president and CEO of the media and entertainment business that will include 20th Century Fox, the Fox network, Sky Italia, Sky Deutschland and a 39.1% stake in UK pay TV operator BSkyB, with Chase Carey acting as COO.
The split will mean that these operations will be managed separately from the UK newspaper business that is in the middle of a phone-hacking scandal. Murdoch said the company had been planning to split for three years and that the decision had nothing to do with events in the UK. "We're doing it purely as a business decision that the company would be better in this way," he told Bloomberg TV.
News Corp said the split was likely to take 12 months to finalise.
"News Corporation's 60-year heritage of developing world-class media brands has resulted in a large and unparalleled portfolio of diversified assets. We recognise that over the years, News Corporation's broad collection of assets have become increasingly complex. We determined that creating this new structure would simplify operations and greater align strategic priorities, enabling each company to better deliver on our commitments to consumers across the globe."

Q: Unmatched connectors on condenser mic and wireless belt pack - make adapter? So I want to buy a Shure Earmic (condenser) which has a mini XLR connector with 4 pins, one of them in the centre. And I want to connect it to an AKG PT40 body pack which has a three pin mini XLR connector. I tried plugging one in directly and it doesn't work. I figure the problem is its how its wired.
Shure pinouts:
 1. Shield
 2. Connected to pin 3 via 2.2K resistor
 3. Connected to above resistor via 1uF cap
 4. Not connected

PT40 pinouts:
 1. Shield
 2. Audio (inphase) and +3.8V
 3. Audio

These connection schemas come from the online manuals. My guess is that the bias voltage on the Shure mic is supposed to come in on pin 3 via the cap. Or am I wrong?
What I am thinking of doing is getting a male and female connector and a three inch long piece of shielded cable, and simply making up an adaptor.
Can this logically work?

A: You've got it backwards. A capacitor blocks DC and passes AC (audio), so the bias voltage would pass through pin 2 with the resistor, and the audio would pass through pin 3 with the capacitor.
Since we don't have a precise schematic it's hard to be sure this is exactly right, but assuming there are no surprises:
You would want to connect both pin 2 and 3 of the Shure pinout to pin 2 of the PT40. If you connect only pin 2 through, then the audio will be attenuated by the resistor; if you connect only pin 3 through then the bias will be missing.
On the PT40 side, assuming the two audio pins are differential (balanced, opposite phases), you will need to connect pin 3 (PT40) and pin 1 (PT40 and Shure) together, otherwise the input will be floating and you get no audio through. For best noise rejection, make this junction at the mic end of your adapter.
Again, please update your question with schematics or exact original wording if you have them to be sure this is correct advice.


Immigration and Customs Enforcement are targeting people once considered safe from deportation. They are detaining people at home, at work and even at church.
Have a plan in place with your family or friends about what happens if ICE arrests you.
Decide who you will call, and make sure they know what to do if you ever need to make that call.
Keep copies of all your citizenship documents and anything related to your status in an accessible location.
Familiarize yourself with your rights under the constitution.
Learn about the process ICE uses for detaining people and what to expect.
Ask if you are being detained or if you are free to go. If they say you can, leave.
Take care not to escalate the situation. Remain calm and make sure you understand what they are alleging.
When agents approach your house, they still need a warrant to enter. If they cannot show you a warrant signed by a judge, they cannot legally enter your house.
You don't have to answer any questions. You have the right to remain silent.
Do not lie. Lies can be used against you.
You have the right to speak with an attorney. Use this right.
Stores of ICE detaining people are frightening. It can feel like a hopeless situation when confronted by these agents.
However, the United States Constitution affords rights to everyone, and it's important you understand your rights.
If you are ever in a situation involving ICE, stay calm. An experienced immigration attorney can help you explore your options.
