SKS 2020: What Does It Take to Build a Cell-Based Protein Business?
If you keep an eye and ear to food tech, you'll know there's been a significant uptick in interest (and investment) for cell-based meat products. But what can companies in the space do to help cell-based protein scale to address issues like global food security and environmental sustainability?
That's a topic FTW Ventures' Brian Frank discussed at this week's SKS 2020 show, where he was joined by Benjamina Bollag, the founder and CEO of HigherSteaks, and Justin Kolbeck, CEO and cofounder of Wild Type.
Since both Bollag and Kolbeck have founded cell-based meat companies (HigherSteaks is working on bacon and pork belly, Wild Type on salmon), they had a ton to say — more than can realistically be packed into a few hundred words.
Kolbeck summarized his advice by pointing to three things companies can think about: taste, affordability, and building the kind of story around the product that will attract your average consumer. For example, when we reach that far-off day where cell-based seafood is available at your local Publix, its branding might explain to shoppers that it contains zero mercury or antibiotics, or that it's a more sustainable solution to wild-caught seafood from our oceans (which are overfished).
"The role of brands will be important to differentiate and distinguish between companies," he said.
I say "far-off day" because no one is going to stroll into Publix tomorrow, or even next year, expecting to find cell-based meat and seafoods. All panelists agreed the timeframe for that reality is years away.
Part of the reason for that is the cost required to produce cell-based proteins. Bollag mentioned media — the liquid that gets fed to cells to make them grow — as one challenge. Growing those cell in bioreactors at scale is another massive hurdle, as is developing the scaffolding to give products the correct meat-like texture.
One thing that could address all of those tasks and challenges isn't even a technology. It's simply the concept of not doing everything in-house. A company that develops its own media, builds its own bioreactors, and simultaneously tries to navigate the regulatory challenges for cell-based meat is going to be slow in reaching commercialization. "Developing the IP yourself is not the most efficient way to do that," said Kolbeck. Frank was even more to the point: "Cell-based [meat] companies cannot develop all the IP themselves."
That presents a real opportunity for many kinds of businesses to get involved in the growth of cell-based meat, from those building bioreactors to companies developing cheaper serums to lawyers with expertise in the regulatory realm. All of those individuals and companies working together can help accelerate the timeline between now and when cell-based protein products reach our grocery store shelves. Only then can the planet and the population start to reap the widespread benefits of cell-based meat as an option.
Singapore's Shiok Meats Raises $12.6M in Series A Funding
Cell-based seafood maker Shiok Meats announced today it has raised $12.6 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Aqua-Spark, an investment fund focused on sustainable aquaculture. SEEDS Capital, Real Tech Fund, Irongrey, and several others also participated in the round, according to a press release sent to The Spoon. This brings Shiok Meats' total funding so far to $20.2 million.
Shiok Meats said it will put the new funds towards building its commercial pilot plant, from which the company plans to launch its minced shrimp product in 2022.
Shrimp is one of the most widely consumed seafood types in the world. For now, at least, Shiok Meats says it is the only company in the world creating a cell-based version that's grown outside the animal. The company's process involves isolating stem cells from the shrimp then growing them inside nutrient-rich bioreactors.
It joins a growing list of cell-based protein producers that have raised funds over the last year, including Blue Nalu, Good Catch, and Wild Type.
For all of these companies, price remains a major hurdle to getting products to market: cell-based protein is simply an expensive process right now that makes it impossible to get products to price parity with traditional seafood offerings. On its own website, Shiok meats notes that a limited production scale is in part responsible for the high costs of its cell-based shrimp. Scaling up production will help the company bring down costs.
Shiok recently partnered with IntegriCulture to use the latter's CultNet System to create shrimp cell cultures. Doing so brings down the overall cost of cell-based shrimp production, since it doesn't require expensive animal serums normally used for the process.
Shiok did a first public taste testing of cell-based shrimp dumplings last year, to positive reviews. The rest of us will have to wait a little longer. The company's initial products will be frozen cell-based shrimp meat for dumplings and other shrimp-based dishes. In the coming years, the company also plans to launch shrimp flavoring pastes and powders, fully formed 3D shrimp, and cell-based lobster and crab products.
Food Tech News: Wild Type Is Looking for Chefs, White Castle Is Offering Rewards
Some final bits of food tech news from 'round the web this week:
Wild Type Has a Pre-Order List for Chefs
While still a good five years out from commercial production, Wild Type said this week it has opened a pre-order list for chefs wanting to include the company's cell-based seafood into their dishes. Right now, the company is developing a cultured salmon prototype that would work in sushi dishes. Wild Type cofounder Justin Kolbeck clarified that the company is not launching its product, just "releasing news" that they "have the next iteration of the product.
White Castle Launches a Rewards Program
White Castle has launched its first-ever rewards platform, called "the Craver Nation loyalty program." Like other digital rewards programs out there, Craver Nation will offer discounts and deals to loyal customers that sign up for the White Castle mobile app. The program was trialed earlier this summer in Louisville, Ky. and is another digital tool in the chain's quickly-growing arsenal of them.
Asia-based abillionveg Raises Fresh Funding
Singapore-based app abillionveg announced this week that it has closed a $3 million pre-Series A round, with participation from Nan Fung Group, CloudKitchens, and York Capital. The app features community-led reviews for vegan and vegetarian products, including both retail and restaurant offerings. Simultaneous to the funding news, the company announced it has struck partnerships with plant-based heavyweight Impossible Foods and restaurant-booking platform Chope.
Cornucopia Farms Is Building a Large-Scale Hydroponic Farm in Georgia
Leafy green lovers, take note. Marietta, Ga.-based Cornucopia Farms said this week it is completing construction on a 56,000-square-foot hydroponic farm two hours east of Atlanta. The farm will grow all manner of greens, including herbs, Romaine, and Bibb lettuce, among other types, and will produce an estimated 12 million heads of leafy greens and 2 million pounds of herbs per year when it is completed. That won't be for a minute, though: completion of the project is expected at some point in the latter half of 2021.
As Cell-Based Protein Becomes a Reality, What to Call it Gets Increasingly Important
Last week we briefly covered news about a Rutgers study that found "cell-based" the best descriptor for lab-grown seafood products. Further thought and reading on the matter leads me to believe the study's findings have implications for labeling across all of the cell-based protein space, not just seafood.
Here's a quick recap: A new study by Rutgers in the Journal of Food Science recommends "Companies seeking to commercialize seafood products made from the cells of fish or shellfish should use the term 'cell-based' on product labels."
The study, commissioned by cell-based seafood company BlueNalu, claims to be the first of its kind evaluating how to label alternative seafood products in a way that both appeals to consumers and meets regulatory requirements around product naming. The study was done by William Hallman, a professor who chairs the Department of Human Ecology at Rutgers-New Brunswick's School of Environmental and Biological Sciences. He noted this week that participants in the study were able to tell the label "cell-based" apart from ones like "wild caught" or "farm raised," and that those participants still believed the cell-based products were as nutritious as the others.
Other names tested in the study were "cell-cultured seafood" and "cultivated seafood," as well as phrases like "cultivated from the cells of ____" and "grown directly from the cells of ____."
It's not hard to understand why "cell-based seafood" resonates the most with consumers. The above phrases lack the kind of concise description needed for food products, and terms like "cultivated seafood" are rather muddy in terms of describing what goes into making the product.
This question of labeling is only going to get bigger as cell-based proteins move further from concept and into a culinary reality for average consumers. We've already seen this play out to some degree with plant-based proteins. About a year ago, large meat corporations were pushing hard to ban their plant-based counterparts from using words like "burgers" and "sausages" on packaging. As we wrote previously, "Big Meat trying to quash alterna-meats' popularity by telling companies how they can or can't label themselves feels protectionist and ineffective, not to mention desperate, at this point."
And that was before the pandemic. Since COVID-19 hit and shed an uncomfortably bright light on issues in traditional meat production, demand for alternative proteins has been through the roof. Just this week, investment network FAIRR released a report stating investment in alt-protein for the first half of 2020 is nearly double the amount for all of 2019. That includes cell-based protein.
Whether Big Seafood pushes back on labeling now that more cell-based seafood is coming to market remains to be seen. It will certainly have a lot of opponents if it does. BlueNalu just announced a new facility designed for commercial production of its alt-seafood products. Wild Type raised a $12.5 million Series A round last year for its cultured salmon, and Shiok Meats just partnered with Integriculture to scale up production of lab-grown shrimp. And those are only the seafood-focused players in the cell-cultured protein space.
Big Seafood aside, effective labeling of all these products — and all cell-based protein products, really — will be key to appealing to new consumers who may not have previously known about cell-based meat and dairy, and that it's just as nutritious as the real deal. When it comes to finding a name for these alt-protein items, that could be the most difficult and most rewarding challenge companies face.
Wild Type Raises $12.5M Series A to Accelerate Production of its Cultured Salmon
Wild Type, a startup developing cultured salmon (that is, fish grown from cells outside the animal), announced today that it had raised a $12.5 million Series A funding round. The round was led by CRV with participation from Maven Ventures, Spark Capital and Root Ventures, the last two of which had previously invested in Wild Type. This would bring the total amount of funding raised by the company to $16 million.
Founded in 2016, Wild Type currently has a team of 16. We spoke with co-founders Justin Kolbeck and Aryé Elfenbein last week to learn more about how the San Francisco-based startup will leverage their funding. According to Kolbeck, who serves as CEO, their first priority is to continue improving the taste of their product and get it into "as many talented hands and palates as possible."
Wild Type has been doing quite a few private tastings lately, culminating in a tasting in Portland, Oregon this June. The startup can currently only make minced salmon and small lox-like pieces of the fish, but hopes to work its way up to full-size filets.
Kolbeck also wants to use the new funds to scale up their cell-based fish production. He told me their goal was to be able to supply a handful of restaurants on a regular basis. This would also drive down production costs. When I spoke to him after the tasting event in Portland, Kolbeck disclosed that one of their salmon sushi rolls would cost $200. Their goal is to get it down to $5 to make it accessible to as many people as possible.
Cell-based meat and seafood companies have been attracting waves of funding lately, but Wild Type's Series A is a whopper — especially in the cellular aquaculture space. "In terms of later stage funding for cell-based companies, it's been more focused on poultry and meat," said Kolbeck. "This is a Series A in the seafood space, which is interesting." Indeed, cultured seafood companies like BlueNalu and Finless Foods have raised $4.5 million and raised $3.5 million seed rounds, respectively. Earlier this year Shiok Meats, which grows shrimp in a lab, closed a $4.6 million seed round. But Wild Type is the first cell-based seafood company to reel in such hefty funding.
Kolbeck still was hesitant to give a specific date for when they would bring their product to market. But with this new funding in hand, we're all one step closer to having cell-based salmon sushi on our plates.
Wild Type's Cell-Based Salmon Costs $200, But Not For Long
A few weeks ago Wild Type, the San Francisco-based startup growing salmon in a lab, did a tasting of its cultured salmon.
Sadly I was not there to taste the goods (hint hint, guys). But I did get to connect with Wild Type co-founders Aryé Elfenbein and Justin Kolbeck over the phone this week to learn more about how their dinner went and what's next for the cellular aquaculture startup.
According to the co-founders, the taste test was a critical step in their R&D process. While there are things they still want to improve on their product — tasters apparently thought the flavor was quite faint and the color wasn't as vibrant as wild salmon — they were impressed with how the salmon adapted to a variety of dishes.
Wild Type's salmon falls apart if it's heated above 212°F, so for now the company is focusing on raw applications. Their first product will be a smoked salmon similar to lox. Apparently Wild Type's scientists can already produce a thin sheet of salmon that's 10.5 inches x 11 inches, which can then be sliced, cold smoked, and presumably put on a bagel alongside schmear and capers.
While they eventually want to sell their cell-based lox directly to consumers, the Wild Type founders first need to get their price down. Way down.
Right now, Kolbeck and Elfenbein estimated that it cost roughly $200 dollars to produce one serving of their cultured salmon. (They specifically referenced the cost of to make the eight-piece spicy salmon sushi roll they served at their recent dinner.) Though high-quality wild salmon is pricey, up to $30 a pound, Wild Type still has a ways to go before their fish is cost-competitive with the real thing. Kolbeck explained that they're currently working on making their animal-free cell media — one of the biggest costs in cellular agriculture/aquaculture — more efficient, which would make the growth process significantly cheaper.
Kolbeck and Elfenbein wouldn't give a timeline for their product release, but seeing as they won't launch until they're at least close to price parity with traditional salmon — roughly one-tenth their current cost — it'll likely be several years at least.
However, Wild Type does have one significant advantage over companies like JUST and Mosa Meats, which claim to be closer to bringing their cultured meat to market. Fish are cold-blooded, so the startup's salmon cells can be grown at room temperature. Mammalian and avian cells, on the other hand, have to be grown in little ovens to stay warm. That means that cultured fish requires fewer energy inputs than cultured beef, pork, or chicken, and can also be produced more cheaply.
For now, Wild Type is focused on perfecting their product, reducing growth costs, and planning more tastings of their salmon. Maybe this writer will be able to snag an invite for the next one.
Wild Type Debuts New Cultured Salmon in Largest Tasting of Lab-Grown Meat
Last week Wild Type, the West Coast startup growing salmon in a lab, had the first large-scale taste test of its new product.
In a Medium post, the company detailed a test dinner at Portland, Oregon's Olympia Oyster bar, which included an assortment of cell-based salmon dishes based on "a variety of culinary traditions." Menu items included Ceviche Verde, salmon tartare, Hawaiian poke, and spicy salmon sushi rolls, all made with the cultured fish. The dinner, which the company claims was the first to feature cell-based food so extensively, wasn't open to the public, so there's no indication how good the cultured fish actually tasted.
Founded in 2016, Wild Type raised a $3.5 million seed round to expand its cell-based salmon R&D in 2018. The company plans to initially release minced salmon and lox and work its way up to full-size filets.
It still has quite a few hurdles to overcome. As with most cellular agriculture (or aquaculture) companies, it can only produce relatively small pieces of lab-grown meat due to scaffolding challenges and other growth constraints.
Wild Type's salmon can also only be served raw. If it's heated above 212°F, it will become too flaky fall apart. According to Bloomberg the company plans to debut a new version of the salmon that can be cooked in the next few months.
Pricing is also an issue. The company hopes to sell their salmon at a competitive price to real farmed Atlantic salmon: $7 to $8 per pound. As of now, they estimate that the spicy salmon roll served at the dinner cost a whopping $200 to produce. However cellular agriculture/aquaculture companies are rapidly reducing the cost it takes to make cultured meat, mostly due to improvements in growth media, so it's likely pricing will go down soon.
Wild Type isn't the only company trying to get in on the seafood alternative market. Finless Foods is hoping to bring its cell-based bluefin tuna to market by the end of 2019, though likely in a very limited release. In Singapore, Shiok Meats is developing cell-based shrimp (and racking up serious funding along the way), and Avant Meats is making lab-grown fish maw in Hong Kong.
It'll still be a while until we taste any sort of cultured meat or seafood due to high costs, low production capacity, and regulatory hurdles. Wild Type has yet to release a go-to-market date for their cell-based salmon, but some speculate it'll be as much as 10 years from now.
However, several plant-based seafood companies are already vying for our plates. Good Catch's plant-based tuna is now available at Whole Foods, and Ocean Hugger Foods makes alternatives to raw tuna and eel out of vegetables. These options may all be better for the environment than fishing or even growing fish cells in a lab, but at least from my experience, it's much harder to make plants taste like fish than it is to make them taste like a juicy burger.
Regardless, we have to do something about our dwindling seafood supply. Our oceans are rapidly being depleted through overfishing and aquaculture has its own set of issues. If companies like Wild Type can produce tasty fish to relieve some of the pressure from our oceans, I'm all for it. Even if I have to wait a while to try lab-grown spicy tuna sushi for myself.

Each week the Success4 Team get together and go undercover in the Coaching world to discuss the topics that are often shy'd away from within self development and coaching. This week we discuss "How To Tell When You're Addicted" and when a habit spills over to the Darkside and becomes a full blow addiction.
This means drugs, alcohol and even social media. We all know we can become addicted to anything and we wanted to find out what makes a habit into an addiction and how you can tell your in trouble.


Activity in front of and behind the scenes is approaching a frantic pace as the city, the state and business organizations try to hammer out a deal to keep the huge casino at the end of Canal Street open.
Something significant must change for Harrah's-New Orleans to keep its 100,000 square-foot casino open after April 1. On that date, Harrah's Entertainment will stop guaranteeing gaming tax payments to the state of approximately $8.3 million a month.
There's been no lack of ideas to make it work, from the silly to the creative. From the silly side of the ledger comes a proposal from the city of New Orleans to sell the land under the casino to Harrah's for $600 million. As owners of the land, Harrah's would save the $1 million a year it pays to the city to lease the land. Harrah's found this proposal less than viable and rejected it out of hand. A more creative proposal was for Harrah's to make a part of its tax payments in company stock. No direct comment has been made on this idea, but it may work as part of a final deal.
Harrah's wants its tax bill cut in half the first year, to $50 million. In addition, Harrah's knows it can't survive with gaming revenue alone. It badly needs a hotel and several restaurants to maximize revenue. In a town where food is almost a religion, them's fightin' words. The restaurant association has been against Harrah's opening restaurants as a part of its entertainment offering from the get-go, but its wishes may lose out in the fight to save the casino and its 2,500 jobs.
Any changes in the operating contract between the state and Harrah's has to be approved by the legislature. It goes into regular session in March, less than a month before Harrah's says it will shut down unless a new contract is approved.
Viva Gaming, which opened an offshore casino boat last September in Corpus Christi, has sold the venture to an undisclosed buyer for $6.3 million in cash and other assets.
Day to day operations of the vessel, the Texas Treasure, won't be affected by the sale and management changes. Viva has indicated an interest in developing a project in Mexico.
A casino boat I thought might be put out of its misery and cut up for scrap is being resurrected to serve another day in Tunica County, Miss.
The Cotton Club was converted from a ferryboat during those crazy early years of riverboat gaming in the mid-1990s, when anything that floated was being rushed into casino service. The boat served Greenville, Miss., for several years before being literally swapped out to the Mississippi Gulf Coast for the larger casino barge there. Renamed the Jubilation, the vessel was almost doomed from the start when management decided on a "gangster" theme. It closed in 1997, and I thought I had heard the last of this vessel.
But, no. The other day, it turned up at the old Bally slip at Mhoon Landing in Tunica. Historians of riverboat gaming will remember that Mhoon Landing was the first gaming site in Tunica. At its peak in 1994, four casino boats were moored there: Splash, Lady Luck, Bally and President. All either closed or sailed away to venues closer to Memphis.
Now, the original owners of Splash think they can make the Mhoon Landing location work again with one of the oldest and cramped casino boats ever built (second only to the Biloxi Belle). The boat will be renamed Splash Back. The owners have applied to the Mississippi Gaming Commission for a license.
I sure hope the state takes a close look at this folly and rejects the application. The days when you could tie off a substandard boat to a willow tree and call it a casino are long gone.


Mad Hatter's Ice Cream, an independently owned ice cream shop in Anacortes, Washington has seen its business go from struggling to positively booming–and its all thanks to the popular Pokemon Go game.
The shop, owned by Gary Dear, had been struggling financially for a while. Although Dear said that Saturdays used to be his biggest days, a market ended up taking over the street and nearly covering his shop every week, drastically reducing business. And after all of the financial troubles Dear faced, he decided to close up shop for a little bit due to his ailing health, which resulted from his time in the Navy.
But just two weeks after Dear reopened the shop, Pokemon Go exploded, bringing in customer after customer.
He even jokes that the Pokey Light shines down on him.
Dear says that the proximity to Pokestops has doubled or tripled his usual sales some evenings. And although he enjoys the reboot his business has gotten, he also recognizes that many friends and family members are spending time bonding over the game and a cool refreshment from his shop.
He even says that people have been teaching him how to play the game, though he hasn't stated whether or not he's gotten in on the action.


With days that have no end.
A quote from this prophesy opens the first scene of Broken. I love the five-line stanzas and interesting rhyming pattern. The portent itself foretells the ending of Book 4 in the TotKW Saga. Who do you think is the slain that embarks for Mother's womb?

The Biggest Gaming Monitor Yet…
June 19, 2019 AustinEvans The Best of Technology 0
– Hey guys, this is Austin We've taken a look at a lot of crazy and over the top setups, but this new monitor might just take the cake
But, before we get started, I wanna give a huge shout to today's sponsor, Varidesk So this is my editing setup Now I like to sit down and get some work done, but after a few hours I really do start feel unhealthy, which is where the Varidesk comes in All you do is grab by the handles and pull it up, and it smoothly transitions into being a full standing setup The flexibility really does help me to feel more focused and productive, so definitely be sure to check out the ProDesk series at the link below, and again, huge shout out to Varidesk for sponsoring this video
So you may recall a video we did last year on a 49 inch super ultra-wide Samsung monitor Now I really like that for gaming, but the problem was that the screen resolution was a little bit low Sure the actual screen size was massive It's basically like having two 27 inch panels sort of glued together, but with basically only a 4K by 2K resolution, as soon as you got outside of a game it got very blurry very quick Where as with this, this brings things up a notch
Really the main advantage here is, that this should be much higher resolution So essentially opposed to having a pair of 1080p monitors that are glued together, instead we have something which is essentially equivalent to a pair of 27 inch 1440p displays Here normally there's a lot of really weird useless things in the box, but this handling guide actually seems very relevant, because this monitor is enormous I actually don't know how I'm going to get it out Oh, that's actually kind of cool
So it comes with a USB-C cable in the box, which I guess you can drive the full 5K resolution over USB-C Okay I gotta try that I also have a DisplayPort, HDMI all that kind of fun stuff The only downside with this monitor is that you need to have a properly huge desk to support it I mean that's just not gonna fit anywhere
Hey guys, today we have the world's largest monitor (laughs) I feel like I'm in the thumbnail right now Can you move that foam so I can set this on the table? Okay, so with this giant monitor out of the box, next up is to actually power it, and that is where this comes in So this is the Zotac MEK Mini And what better way to pair a giant monitor than with a tiny super powerful gaming PC
See we have a great sense of irony here At least Ken does So we've looked at a lot of weird and interesting Zotac systems over the years This is actually one of the most interesting ones that has caught my eye in quite a while So inside what you're getting here is a pretty properly powerful gaming computer, but in a very very small chassis
Awe, it's so cute So inside this guy, not only do we have a proper Core i7-8700 processor, but there's even a full GTX- sorry RTX 2070 I'm going to keep saying GTX like forever, you realize that right? Slide? Oh, there we go Wow, that is- that is packed Okay, so we've got a two Terabyte hard drive as well as what I believe is a 256 gig SSD
We have what looks to be 16 gigs of memory, and a fan What is on this side? So I guess it makes sense that you have easy access to most of your upgradeable parts on this side I'm curious I see a few fans inside How do I open this? Oh, there's a giant not for resale sign on the bottom, AKA this is a review unit, don't open it up dumb– Well actually that's probably not a direct quote from Zotac, but we all know what they mean when they send me something
Oh, that's why it's so small It has dual external power supplies So these are each 230 watts, so actually that sounds about right 460 watt power supply for something of this caliber So with everything fired up, the first thing I had to say is this MEK Mini is actually pretty cool, although I keep wanting to say Mac Mini
The MEK Mini Now It's hard to get a good idea of the scope of this thing When you put it side by side with a full sized graphics card, it really does things in perspective This is a lot of performance in a tiny chassis, and generally speaking it actually does perform pretty well Now yes, it does get a little bit loud especially under load and it gets a little bit bursty, so sometimes the fans kind of erratically go from like 100 percent down to like 40 percent, which is a little bit on the noisy side
The important thing is, is that even though you have such a tiny form factor, you're not giving up that performance You get a decent selection of ports including USB-C as well as a pair of Ethernet jacks, one of which does have a Killer NIC inside But really the main advantage here is just having a computer that is so tiny Yeah, the power supplies being external is a little bit annoying, but for this kind of form factor it's really not something you can very easily build on your own Now at $1,600 it is not the cheapest system in the world, but realistically I can see a lot of people who are interested in a very small form factor build, going with something like the MEK Mini
And importantly, it also has plenty of power to handle our giant ultra wide display Once you get past the sheer size of this display, one of the main things that separates it from the Samsung is, which I was a really big fan of, is just the screen quality itself Now sure, the resolution does make a big difference, but it's also a very bright panel I mean right now we're at like 20 something percent brightness, but if I make Ken really upset here, crank it all the way up Look how bright this thing gets
Can you see how bright that is? Like it is like eye searingly bright, and that might be a slight exaggeration But I believe this is HDR, what like 600 rated or something? Now I do think Samsung has a newer version of their display which is probably going to be a lot closer, but just looking at this thing in person, it is seriously nice And of course, it does have that full 5120×1440 resolution Dude this is ridiculous This is a 2:1 video and look how tiny it is on this display
Also something I want to mention here, the speakers are actually not that bad – [Austin On Monitor] What it really comes down to with memes, is formatting A lot of memes are just– – With this much screen real estate, this is a multitasker's dream I mean there is no need to have two monitors when you can fit basically two 1440p windows side by side, and especially if you're working with things like docs or spreadsheets You can have so much information all at your fingertips
Although I guess it's always at your fingertips More like all of this information at your eyeballs? But of course you're not watching this video for a mere multitasking display What you want to see is gaming And what's cool about this, is that it is actually so much wider than most panels that a lot of things like loading screens aren't even fully meant for this It's a full 32:9 aspect ratio
Okay, yeah this definitely works Dude that is so wide You know it's actually pretty impressive The MEK Mini is able to handle a full 5K by 1440 resolution pretty well Full up on max settings, obviously I'm just here in the loading screen, but we're at somewhere around 50 frames per second
You know what else is nice about this display? Just how wide it is I mean there's so much screen real estate, and literally I have to look up, left and right Like this would be really cool if you had like something like a flight sim or a driving game It really does feel like instead of using a VR headset, you can just sit right here and be immersed In fact sitting this close is actually almost too much
I'm gonna get serious I'm gonna win a game of Fortnite with the super ultra wide display and my awesome little MEK ultra Definitely what I'm going to do right now is win a game (laughs) An excellent start I landed somewhere and someone hasn't shot me yet
Really a key to my stealth technique is to make as much noise as possible so they're all afraid of me (yells) What the– So while having a giant display and overpowered gaming PC is nice, sadly it does not improve your actual skill Unless I maybe do a little bit more practice, you know, to confirm this So one thing I'm actually not sure of, I haven't tried Apex yet, is how well it supports this ultra wide display Which it seems to work fine, but some games actually straight up will not stretch out all the way
I mean you can see that we have black bars in this whole cinematic But the main thing here is that a lot of games won't actually let you get a super wide field of view as it is a little bit of an unfair advantage, right? If you're using a monitor that's this big, you can see a little bit more around you if you're able to crank that FOV up But it very much depends on which games you're actually playing whether or not you get an advantage or whether or not it even supports this resolution The good news is, it looks like we're also able to play on epic settings at full resolution I mean right now we're like 45 FPS, but it looks like it's supporting the field of view no problem, although actually I want to hit the ground and see
Oh, he looks like he's finding a gun right now Yeah he found a gun I'm gonna run away Oh, it's a grenade Nope, nope, no
No, running, running, running See ya Peace Bye Yeah don't miss
Easy for you to say– Are They both dead? Oh no you don't I'm out of bullets! I'm out of ammo! No, come on! No! So that my friends, that is how to play on a super ultra wide display as well as the MEK Mini Realistically speaking, this monitor is awesome It is so hard to go back to something that's normal, mere mortal size after playing with that kind of raw power and fury If only it wasn't like over $1,000

The Canadian school system is one of the best in the world. Every year about 200,000 international students come to Canada to obtain a globally respected education. Moderate tuition and living fees, as well as a safe and friendly environment, make Canada an even more attractive destination for students of all ages and backgrounds from all over the world.
In most cases, prospective international students have to apply for a study permit through a Canadian Visa Mission of the country of their residence. The study permit serves as your visa for the duration of your stay in Canada.
Students that have been accepted to a professional program at a designated learning institution upon already completing a course of study in Canada (which was a stated prerequisite for admission to the selected program) can apply for a study permit from within Canada.
If your program is less than six months in duration, you do not need a study permit. However, we recommend you to get one in any case, because you might decide to continue your studies after the 6-months period.
If you do not do that and decide to study at another program while you are in Canada, you will first have to leave Canada and apply through a visa office in your home country.
Once a Canadian study permit is obtained, you can renew it while you are in Canada. If you are a full-time student at an accredited higher education institution, you are entitled for part-time work on campus.
The other options which might be available for you are working off campus, working as a co-op student, as an intern. You may also seek ways to obtain Canadian permanent residence or find work after you graduate.
The first thing that needs to be done is you need to obtain a letter of acceptance from an accredited higher education institution in Canada. This is an obligatory requirement before you apply for a study permit.
This can be done online by printing a form, or you may request a document from your college/university, which will provide guidance on how to do it properly.
According to the rules introduced on June 1, 2014, only international students admitted for studies at a designated learning institution are eligible to apply for a study permit.
Satisfy an immigration officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your authorized stay.
Jane Katkova & Associates handles all types of applications for Study Permits in Canada. We will be happy to assist you in choosing the educational institution, preparing the application for a Study Permit and ensuring that your application is complete with all the information and documentation necessary. In some cases, you might be also required to obtain a temporary resident visa if you originate from a designated country.
Come to study in Canada after your application for a Study Permit is approved.
International students can work while studying in Canada and get a temporary work permit in Canada after graduation.
Studies and subsequent work experience in Canada upon graduation may become your pathway to Canadian Permanent Residency. Check your prospects for applying for Canadian immigration through Canadian Experience Class on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada website, or fill out the form below to schedule a consultation with an authorized associate.
You will then have to upload the necessary files online through what we call an "online submission" process. In the end, you might also be required to go through an interview at a local visa office.
Additional requirements may apply, including biometrics, proof of funds, medical exam, criminal record check etc. They may differ from one case to another.
At Jane Katkova & Associates, we have already helped hundreds of applicants to obtain their study permits. If you want to make sure that your application package is impeccable and error-free or get any other advice on higher education in Canada, please let us know.
Call us at +1 (416) 661-4487, or email us at [email protected] to learn how we can help you obtain Canadian education and ease the application process for you.
Jane Katkova & Associates is an immigration consultant in Toronto, Ontario that provides immigration services since 1995.

Language Paper Question 4: Comparing Language by Guled
Date: May 5, 2015Author: kateeryan 2 Comments
Following on from our post about comparing language, Guled has kindly typed up his detailed and perceptive response to language in the articles about Lampedusa and Voting.
The headline in source 1 uses the phrase 'just don't care'. The use of such a phrase presents the writers opinion and of course it is controversial. This is used for effect and it certainly divides audiences. From the headline I can infer that the writer is older and their aim is to present their biased view to those who are reading making most old people nod in agreement and younger people wonder how someone comes to such a judgemental conclusion. Another interesting thing the writer does is present their opinion as fact, and they do this throughout the article and in the headline, this helps to strengthen the writers point and make it seem less of the opinion piece it is. In fact, there are hardly any real cold facts in this article just some hand-picked quotes.
In the source 3 the language used in the headline is more emotive and the writer does this through the use of personal pronouns such as 'I' and 'my', this makes the story the writer is sharing more intimate and personal. Moreover, the writer uses key words which each evoke a sense of sympathy, words such as 'refugee', 'fleeing', 'surviving' These all grab the readers' attention and really helps Hakim Bello tell his story. The use of the parenthesis in the headline makes the reader pause. This pause is instrumental in creating a sense of suspense before relieving to us that he survived. Similarly, in both headlines they use it as an overview of the text. From the headlines in Sources 1 and 3, we get a sense of what the articles will be about. This is why headlines must be effective as they allow the reader to anticipate what is coming.
There is a use of rhetorical questions in the source 1, for example, 'are we there yet'. The use of this phrase is used to patronise and belittle the young subjects of the article, mimicking what young children say. The use of such a rhetorical question definitely evokes a reaction from the reader, I, as a young person, already knew I wouldn't like the article from the headline, but that rhetorical question definitely made me detest what this writer had to say. I am sure that for most older, richer and conservative people would laugh at this and think his use of a rhetorical question is genius. This division in opinion is surely what the writer sought to come out of this. That is not the only example of the writer in source 1 using rhetorical questions to belittle and patronise young people. They do it again as he discusses recent news in politics then says 'oh, does it really matter?' This again presents his biased opinion to the reader.
On the other hand, in source 3 the writer uses a rhetorical question once where he says 'how is it my life here is worse than under Muammar Gaddafi's dictatorship?' This question hits quite deeply with the reader and makes them really contemplate the hardships this person had to go through. Unlike source 1 it is not used as a mockery to the subject of the article but rather the writer directly asking the reader 'why?'. This coupled with the writers use of personal pronouns really makes the article deeply personal pronouns really makes the article deeply personal. Almost like a one-on-one conversation.
Going back to the use of facts in both articles, which I briefly mentioned when discussing the headline, I find that both articles make use of presenting some opinions as facts. This is seen in source 3 as the writer describes the Mediterranean passage to Italy as 'the deadliest border in the world'. This is not something heard about the hundreds of people who were killed in this passage and has been domination the news. This is effective to the reader as it truly solidifies what the emotions the writer is trying to present.
In source 1 the use of facts is scarce. The writer makes an effort to use quotes that he undoubtedly chose to fit his narrative that the young are 'highly unlikely to vote at all' This in itself would create a divide among audiences with older people typically taking these as a representation of the millions of young people in this country, and the younger people disagreeing with his biased representation.

Animals, Birds
Interesting facts about ducks
Ducks are birds in the family Anatidae. They are closely related to swans and geese, which are in the same family.
There are approximately 120 different species of ducks.
Ducks are mostly aquatic birds living in both fresh water and sea water and found on every continent except for Antarctica.
Wetlands, such as ponds, streams, lakes and lagoons, and woodland areas, such as swamp forests and stands of mangrove trees, are natural habitats for ducks.
Ducks have been domesticated as pets and farm animals for more than 500 years, and all domestic ducks are descended from either the mallard or the Muscovy duck.
It's a fact that a wild duck can live 20 years or more. The world record is a Mallard Drake that lived to a ripe old age of 27 years. Domestic ducks typically live 10-15 years or less in captivity.
Ducks range in size from the very large eider duck which up to 71 centimeters (28 in.) long, weight up to 3 kilograms (6.6 lb.), and has a 1-meter (41-in.) wingspread, to the Eurasian teal which is about 28 centimeters (11 in.) long, has weight about 340 grams (12 oz) and a wingspread of 59 centimeters (23 in.).
While dimorphic (a difference in coloration between genders) plumages are common for many types of birds, ducks take this to a new art with outrageous, even garish patterns on males with gaudy colors and vibrant patterns. Females are much more subdued with neutral colors and mottled patterns for camouflage from their enemies when they are in their nests.
Ducks have webbed feet which allows them to paddle and swim in the water more smoothly.
Ducks feet has no nerves or blood vessels, meaning that their feet do not feel the cold! This enables ducks to swim in icy water, and walk in ice and snow.
They have very good vision and see in color.
Ducks have three eyelids. The top and bottom as well as a third that is found on the side of the eye. It is clear and acts much like goggles.
All ducks have highly waterproof feathers as a result of an intricate feather structure and a waxy coating that is spread on each feather while preening. A duck's feathers are so waterproof that even when the duck dives underwater, its downy underlayer of feathers will stay completely dry.
Ducks keep their feathers clean by preening. They do this by putting their heads in funny positions and putting their beaks into their body. They preen themselves very often.
Ducks are very social animals who feel most at ease when they're in larger groups of other ducks, who are called paddlings. They spend their days looking for food in the grass or in water, and they sleep together with their paddlings at night.
Ducks are omnivores. They feed on small fish and fish eggs, small crustaceans, frogs, salamanders and other amphibians, snails, worms and mollusks, aquatic and land insects, algae and aquatic plants and roots, grass and weeds, seeds and grain, small berries, fruits and nuts. In addition to these nutritious foods, some ducks will also eat sand, gravel, pebbles and small shells to provide grit that aids their digestion. Grit may also provide trace amounts of critical minerals as part of an overall healthy, varied diet.
Ducks are often classified by the way they feed, either as dabbling ducks or diving ducks. Dabbling ducks feed on the surface of water or on land, or as deep as they can reach by up-ending without completely submerging. Diving ducks forage deep underwater. To be able to submerge more easily, the diving ducks are heavier than dabbling ducks, and therefore have more difficulty taking off to fly.
Some duck species, mainly those breeding in the temperate and Arctic Northern Hemisphere, are migratory; those in the tropics, however, are generally not.
Ducks normally migrate between 60 and 1,200 meters (200 and 4,000 feet) in the air, but are capable of reaching far greater heights. A jet plane over Nevada once struck a Mallard at an altitude of 6,400 meters (21,000 feet)! This is currently the highest recorded flight of any duck!
Male ducks are called Drakes, females are called Hens, and baby ducks are known as Ducklings.
Ducks usually look for a mate or partner in winter. Male ducks will attract the female ducks with their colorful plumage or feathers. The female ducks will then lead the male ducks to their breeding ground in spring.
The breeding ground will usually be the place where the female duck was hatched. The female duck builds her nest with grass or reeds or even in a hole in a tree.
The male duck will guard their territory by chasing away other couples. Once the female lays 5 – 12 eggs, she will sit on her eggs to keep them warm so that they can hatch into ducklings. The male ducks on the other hand, will be with the other male ducks.
The eggs will hatch within 28 days normally, except for the Muscovy duck which takes about 35 days to hatch. The mother duck will keep her brood of ducklings together to protect them from predators. Ducklings are able to fly within 5-8 weeks. Their feathers develop really fast.
Because of their wide distribution through many types of habitats, ducks have many predators. Some of these include hawks, coyotes, foxes, raccoons and large fish.
Females of most dabbling ducks make the classic "quack" sound, but despite widespread misconceptions, most species of duck do not "quack". In general, ducks make a wide range of calls, ranging from whistles, cooing, yodels and grunts.
A common urban legend is that a ducks quack does not echo. This has however, been proven to be false.
The Guardian (British newspaper) published an article on Monday 16 March 2015 advising that ducks should not be fed with bread because it damages the health of the ducks and pollutes waterways.
In 2002, psychologist Richard Wiseman and colleagues at the University of Hertfordshire, UK, finished a year-long LaughLab experiment, concluding that of all animals, ducks attract the most humor and silliness.
The two most famous ducks in history are Donald and Daffy Duck.

Pakistani Army, Taliban clash in Waziristan
By Bill Roggio | September 22, 2009 | [email protected] | @billroggio
The Pakistani military and the Taliban clashed in the Taliban-controlled tribal agencies of North and South Waziristan.
The Taliban claimed to have killed 45 Pakistani soldiers after assaulting two security checkpoints in Ramzak, a military garrison town on the border of South Waziristan. A battalion of more than 600 Taliban fighters attacked the two outposts in Ramzak, according to Dawn. Azam Tariq, the new spokesman for the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, confirmed the attack.
The Pakistani military claimed eight Taliban fighters were killed during the assault but did not report its own casualties.
In South Waziristan, Pakistani Army helicopter gunships struck Taliban camps in the strongholds of Makeen and Spina Tigha. The military said 26 Taliban fighters were killed in the attack.
The clashes in North and South Waziristan take place more than a week after the Pakistani government gave the military the approval to launch an operation in Waziristan. The military indicated it was "looking for a suitable time to launch the operation," according to Dawn. There are reports the Pakistani government has begun forming lashkars, or tribal militias, to support the operation. But the military has discarded so-called "pro-government" Taliban leaders like Haji Turkistan Bhittani, who opposes the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan.
The last operations in South Waziristan was launched in mid-June and fizzled out after the US airstrike killed Baitullah Mehsud, the former leader of the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan. The military initially claimed it was moving into South Waziristan in force, but after meeting stiff resistance, the plan was changed to blockade the region and hit the Taliban with air and artillery strikes.
The military has said it has no intentions of conducting operations in North Waziristan, and also said an operation in South Waziristan likely wouldn't begin until next spring.
Background on recent fighting in North and South Waziristan
The Pakistani military has avoided directly confronting the Taliban in North and South Waziristan after suffering a string of humiliating defeats there between 2004 and 2008. The most recent operations in Waziristan resulted in peace agreements that have ceded control of the region to the Taliban.
The last time the Pakistani military took on the Taliban in North Waziristan was in October 2007. The Pakistani military and the Taliban fought pitched battles after the military launched artillery barrages and helicopter and attack aircraft assaults against Taliban-controlled villages in North Waziristan.
The Taliban responded by setting up complex ambushes, including surface-to-air missile traps, a senior US military intelligence official told The Long War Journal. Several Pakistani Army helicopters were said to have been shot down during the fighting. The Pakistani military claimed that 120 Taliban and 45 soldiers were killed in the fighting, but independent reports put the number of soldiers killed much higher.
At the end of October 2007, the government pushed for a peace deal, and the fighting waned. The Taliban, led by the Haqqani Network and Hafiz Gul Bahadar, remained entrenched in the region. In February 2008, an official peace agreement was signed.
The last major operation against the Taliban in South Waziristan took place in late January 2008. The military launched an offensive with the declared aim of dislodging Baitullah Mehsud's forces from entrenched positions. Prior to the military's offensive, the Taliban overran two military forts and conducted numerous attacks against Pakistani forces. More than a dozen of Pakistan's elite counterterrorism commandos were killed in a single engagement.
The military claimed to have ejected the Taliban from strongholds in Kotkai and Jandola, however, and said it killed Qari Hussain. But Hussain later mocked the government during a press conference in May 2008.
Just 11 days after the fighting in South Waziristan had begun, the military sued for peace. The Taliban retook control of Jandola four months later, after murdering dozens from a rival tribe while the military looked on. The military has since abandoned several forts in South Waziristan and has kept activity there to a minimum.
Taliban forces belonging to Waliur Rehman Mehsud, the new leader of the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, Mullah Nazir, Hafiz Gul Bahadar, and the Haqqanis, led by Jalaluddin's son Sirajuddin, have only grown stronger since defeating the Pakistani military during engagements in 2007 and 2008. Tens of thousands of fighters are under the collective command of these leaders.

I need to point out something. I have noticed in recent past and this is very obvious is that P-stan supports Haqqani's, and groups in northern W-stan just because they don't have Jihadist ideology against P-stan and all their guns are pointed towards US in A-stan and these are the main groups breaking US back in Af-stan, whereas P-stan is hitting hard in Southern W-stan where the main group exists of TTP and ppl like (Baitullah) and Hakeemullah who among other things declared Jihad against P-stan and for this reason P-stan has also allow most of the Predator strikes in that region. If US thinks that they can win the war by just predator strikes in South W-stan and that Hakumullah and there arab friends are the only treat then they are wrong. Since their actual enemy is P-stan itself, who are supporting Haqqani's, nazir and others who are death for US in Af-stan just because they have soft corner for P-stan.
US should start attacking ISI in P-stan and hit them with hellfire who supports Haqqani's etc doesn't this make sense? Or otherwise US hopes to drown in their own sweat.
maybe I'm naive but if the Taliban are sending a battlaion of 600+ troops against the PA why arent't they calling in gunships and engaging this amount of fighters and mowing them down? This is what you want; the Taliban in open battles which they will lose. Their strength lies in the coward guerilla tactics.
jayc says:
The Pakistani daily Dawn has just reported that the US Congress has just approved 2.3bn in aid for Pakistan. This comes on the heels of revelations from General Musharraf that previous financial aid was diverted for other clandestine programs. Hmm..
Has anyone seen the critically acclaimed movie "The Kite Runner"? While the film was Afghani in origin, I can't help but draw a parallel. At one point in the movie, the father was giving a check to a man to build something of importance. After the man left, the fathers friend said to him wryly, "You know that the politicians will steal half of that?" To which the man replied, "Only half?, they must be getting lazy."
chatiii says:
paul – how can you sit there and call guriller tactics cowardly and then, in the same post, ask bill why pak military doesnt use gunships to "mow" taliban down??? If i use your way of thought, i would say using air-superiority is more cowardly than using guriller tactics……the US dropping 2 nukes on japan because they didnt want to lose 10's of thousands of soldiers in an invasion IS EVEN MORE COWARDLY!!! but people dont care about whats cowardly or whats not……they just do what works to get the job done. The Pakistani military, if it wanted to, could savage the taliban all over waziristan and the tribal areas, but they would kill 10's of thousands of civillians (just like what happened in sri lanker) in the process which would probably open the doors of hell (you think iraq was bad? trust me you havent seen nothing yet). The pakistani population led by various militant groups would rise up and with the help of certain members with-in the army and ISI, would over throw the goverment. NOW…..we have militant groups that not only have a whole country to operate in, but also have access to military hardware and those nightmare giving nukes that would distabalise the whole region and probably the whole world……..the bottom line is, i personally think the mother of all fears for the U.S. (islamic khalifat state) will be established in the next couple of decades and the catalyst will be the disasterous situation that ive mentioned above. And bill knows exactly what im talking about
Spooky says:
G-shock-
First off, talk about overuse of abbreviated names.
Second, attack the ISI, are you insane? They control Pakistan, they control our supplies, they have a 1 million man army at their disposal to use if we make them enemies, and thats just the reasons off the top of my head why we shouldn't attack them.
Yes, the ISI is a thorn in America's side, yes Pakistan is protecting its own interests first (as is the right and duty of ANY independant nation), but to punish them with military action would not only screw us over in the war, we'd actually be liable to LOSE the majority of our forces in Afghanistan in the resulting perfect storm of Taliban AND Pakistan military. And thats regardless if we win or lose, and an absolute guarentee we'd never be trusted again.
Careful what you suggest.

Chatiii,
you missed the whole point of my post. Suffice to say what you suggets will never come to pass. No fascist ideology will ever supplant freedom. We would nuke the whole world before letting that happen. Radical Islam is in a losing game. Their just to stupid to figure it out yet.
Spooky,
Why are we fighting a lost war? On one hand we want to win against extremist and on the other hand we also want them to win by actually giving them aid, I think we are supporting terrorist even more than the Arabs?..I see nothing but a terrible defeat for us.
Can you help me with the war strategy? What is our foresight? What's the time frame?
Barekzai says:
If there's any war that can be won decisively by US forces, it 's a hot war against another army. let's not forget that Iraq too was once boasting about its million man army. The US can pulverize the Pakistani army hands down, and that's a given. As for your rant regrding their "national interest", since when do we oblige "national interests" that nurture terrorism as an extension of their foreign policy?
Be that as it may, Pakistan will disintegrate by a thousand cuts. However, apologizing for them is a sure way to drop our guard, when the wounded dog dcides to bite.
ratee says:
You are losing the battle in Afghanistan and now you are thinking of expanding the war to Pakistan.
Pakistan has defeated Taliban in the only settled area of Swat and the public has taken up arms against them. However some people are implying Nato should attack Pakistan now. Are you people out of your mind?
Fighting in the Waziristan area is the most difficult and Pakistan has to be cautious that the tribesmen in this area do not rebel against the army. British army was defeated three times in this area. All other invading armies also never successful in conquering this area. In fact no outside army has been successful militarily.
Pakistan has sealed this area and is pulverizing this area with air action and has very successful in this air operation. Its ground forces will move later according to the military sources when they are sure of victory.
This looks a sensible strategy then one espoused by most writers who don't recognize the nature of the people living here and the terrain of this area nor the history of the region.
G Shock-
I had an answer for you, but my post never made it I guess.
Barekzai-
Iraq is not Pakistan. Not even close. Pakistan has the most powerful military in all the muslim world. Thanks mostly to our weaponry and taxes.
And note I did not say we would lose, I said we'd win at the loss of most of our troops in the region, because we would STILL be fighting the Taliban AND the Pakistanis, with more area to cross, and NO supplies in the hinterland, since Pakistan is where they go through, and if they get desperate enough: nukes.
As for my supposed "rant" (didn't know two sentences was a rant these days), I am stating cold fact. They will not do what we tell them just because we say so. Doesn't matter if we pay them, because they do not worship the almighty dollar.They will do what they believe is best for them, as is the right of any sovereign nation, for good or ill. In other words, since you seem to think I'm apologizing for them, they are not following our lead because its not logical for them to, from their perspective (which is all that matters, since its, y'know, THEIR COUNTRY).
Going to war with Pakistan is madness, especially when we're already stretched thin, and the public (on both sides of the aisle) is starting to turn away from the otherwise just reasoning behind the war. Apart from the military problems a war with them would cost, which I already mentioned, it would also add more time to how long we would need to accomplish ANY of our goals, whatever they may be.
The best way to get Pakistan to stay in line is to appeal to their self-interest. Not money, since they could ultimately go to the Chinese if need be, since China wants Gwadar to punk India with, among other things. To stay with their self-interest, recognize (or rather, threaten to recognize), Balochistan as independant, or take India's side on the Kashmir debate. Seeing Kosovo, you know what that could do to Pakistan as a whole.
Of course, one should be careful and not actually do it, since one would lose their bargaining chip and also make them an instant enemy….


As an example of the operation of the SPI function of the CGMMSTICK, this example interfaces to a SPI potentiometer.
SPI circuit using an MCP41100 serial potentiometer.
An MCP41100 SPI potentiometer was selected from Microchip Technology. This is a 100k potentiometer that can be adjusted in 256 steps from one end of the dial to another.
PB0 and PA0 were connected to 5V and ground respectively. PW0 is the 'wiper' and will move in position between 0V and 5V under control of the CGMMSTICK via the commands sent through MMIDE.
The SPI serial lines are all set as OC (open collector) with a pull up resistor of 10k ohms.
The chip select line for the digital pot.
The CS (chip select) line of the digital pot is connected to I/O Pin 14, in open collector mode (with 10k ohm pull up). It is active low. The data transfer starts with this line high. The line is brought low, serial data is transmitted, and the line returned high.
The SPI applet settings appropriate for the MCP41100.
The SPI applet is used to transmit two bytes to the digital pot.
Pins 11, 12, and 13 are used to communicate with the digital pot. Note that this hardware uses the 8-pin MCP41100, so there actually is no data read from the digital pot.
The clock and data pins are set to OC. The rate is L – low. The polarity for clock/data 1s set to 3 – clock is active low, data is captured on the rising edge and output on the falling edge.
The chip is selected (CS low) and 11 is clocked to the chip. This is the command byte for this chip. Then a value from 0 (0v) to 255 (5V) is clocked to the chip before returning high. When the CS is high the pot switches to the commanded setting.

Rangers Usher in Post-Rebuild Era With Trade Deadline Decisions
February 25, 2020 by Jeb Biggart
When entering the trade deadline, the New York Rangers were expected to continue a trend that started when the rebuild was announced — selling everything in sight by 3 P.M. ET on deadline day. The club was slated to trade unrestricted free agents such as Chris Kreider and Jesper Fast while RFAs such as Alexandar Georgiev, Tony DeAngelo, Ryan Strome or Brendan Lemieux were all unlikely, but still potential departures.

Yet, the 3 P.M. deadline passed with each of those players remaining in New York, including one who's essentially been guaranteed as a Ranger for life. Their decisions, while puzzling at first, showcase the front office's dedication and trust in the current roster to deliver New York back to success.
Current Team Is Built for Success
General manager Jeff Gorton and team president John Davidson weighed their options at the deadline and decided to bet on themselves rather than test the market for trades. The seven-year, $45.5 million contract awarded to Kreider exemplifies their belief in their current roster and success through internal additions. The 28-year-old power forward could have been traded for quite a haul of future assets, but there was no guarantee it'd match the value they'd be trading away. The Rangers are unlikely to find a player of Kreider's caliber at $6.5 million AAV on the free-agent market.
Despite trade rumors surrounding Chris Kreider's name, Gorton and Davidson first priority was always to re-sign him. (Eric Bolte-USA TODAY Sports)
Regression is due as the contract will carry him to 35 years old. Not many power forwards are capable of maintaining elite play past their 30s unless their name is Alexander Ovechkin. Gorton and Davidson negotiated the extension, not because Kreider is expected to perform at a high rate for the entirety of the contract, but so he could help bring the organization back to contender status in the next three to five years.
The same strategy was used when committing to Jacob Trouba and Artemi Panarin to their multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts. Gorton and Davidson are building a team that's built for success in the near future, not one that's still gathering assets for a rebuild. Their most recent moves are indicative of that trust in their current roster, from the young developing rookies to the long-time veterans in Henrik Lundqvist or Marc Staal.
Positional Need Outweighed Market Value
After the Kreider question mark was promptly answered with a hefty extension, attention turned to the Rangers second-most touted trade piece. As a 28-year-old winger who's never eclipsed 40-points in his career, Fast was the ideal candidate for a cap-stricken contender that needed depth on the wing.
Next to Kreider, Jesper Fast was the next most likely candidate for a trade out of New York. (Jess Starr/The Hockey Writers)
Trades for Wayne Simmonds, Nate Thompson and Derek Grant suggested that the market for a player of Fast's pedigree was present, but the returns were lower than expected value, floating around a fourth or fifth-round selection. Even a seasoned veteran like Patrick Marleau was enough to only produce a return of as third-round selection from the Pittsburgh Penguins. It was rumored that the Rangers were looking for a second-round pick for Fast.
Considering the disappointing market for depth forwards, the Rangers front office vied towards retaining Fast and pushing the decision on his future to the summer. Considering the Rangers' lack of wing depth, particularly on the right side, Fast will be an integral portion to their final push for the playoffs. His veteran and positional value to a young roster outweighed the need for another third or fourth-round selection. This is particularly true since Gorton had another trade cooking as the deadline approached.
The Rangers are chock-full with young left-handed defensemen. Ryan Lindgren has led the charge with his explosive 2019-20 campaign, not to mention DeAngelo's potential switch to his off-side. They'll be eventually backed up by some combination of K'Andre Miller, Yegor Rykov, Libor Hajek, Matthew Robertson, Nico Gross, Zachary Jones or Tarmo Reunanen.
Skjei's departure is indicative of the Rangers' confidence in their left-handed defenseman prospects. (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers)
Brady Skjei's clear regression from his former self and the Rangers quickly developing LHD prospects left his $5.25 million AAV as a worrisome salary cap anchor. Despite being just 25-years-old, Skjei's value had quickly diminished and Gorton had a chance to shed a contract for a first-round selection in a particularly strong draft.
As a cheap right-winger who can play up and down lineup, Fast was in a position that the Rangers were in an immediate need of, whereas Skjei's value had shifted towards a replaceable asset that could be found either internally through prospects or externally via depth signings.
The Rangers' front office shifted the narrative that they created when the infamous rebuild letter was sent to fans over two years ago. They might not necessarily be competing for a Stanley Cup this year or the next, but their most recent deadline decisions suggest that the days of trading away captains and fan favorites are long gone.
