Q: updating config file I am trying to update the app.config file of another application from my project both are in c#. I know how to update it for the project in memory but not sure how to access the app.config file of my other project. I have following code but that will change the app.config file of my current project not the other one ....thanks for the suggestions or ideas
    XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();

    xmlDoc.Load(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile);

    foreach (XmlElement element in xmlDoc.DocumentElement)
    {
        if (element.Name.Equals("appSettings"))
        {
            foreach (XmlNode node in element.ChildNodes)
            {
                if (node.Attributes[0].Value.Equals("Setting1"))
                {
                    node.Attributes[1].Value = "New Value";
                }
            }
        }
    }

A: Well, if the code shown works for the app.config file of the current project, it should work for the app.config file of the other project, you just need to load the file from the appropriate path. In other words, instead of doing:
 xmlDoc.Load(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile);

You have to change it to:
 xmlDoc.Load("Path\\to\\config\\file\\of\\other\\application");

Or better yet, create a new method that takes the path to the app.config file as parameter and you can call it accordingly depending on which file you want to change....

Jason Victor Serinus | Jun 21, 2018
On the second morning of a recent audio show, I walked into the exhibit room of Bricasti Design.
"How about some Mahler?" asked cofounder and designer Brian Zolner.
"Oh God. Not at 10am!"
Listening to Mahler had become de rigueur for my visits to the exhibits of this Massachusetts-based company. From the very first time that Zolner had played part of Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra's recording of Mahler's Symphony 2 (SACD/CD, Channel Classics 23506) through a system that combined Bricasti's M28 monoblock power amplifiers, M1 DAC, and M12 Source Controller with Tidal Audio's Piano Diacera speakers, I'd been impressed by the layered darkness of the bass and midrange, and the system's ability to flesh out Mahler's despair. But beginning the day with Mahlerian doom? No one should have to suffer and be resurrected before noon.
After listening to a modest dose of alternate fare—it wasn't as mindless as "the flowers that bloom in spring, tra-la, nor as hackneyed as "Hotel California"—I learned that Bricasti's M15 fully balanced stereo power amplifier ($18,000), introduced in 2016 and offering 125Wpc into 8 ohms and 250Wpc into 4 ohms, had not been reviewed by Stereophile. After running through the components in my reference system with Zolner and Damon Gramont, Bricasti's head of sales, and noting that my speakers would soon change from Wilson Audio's Alexias to Alexia 2s, we felt that the M15 would be a good match for my system. John Atkinson signaled the okay, and a review sample was on its way to me.
Bricasti Design was founded in 2004 by two former employees of Lexicon, a division of the Harman Specialty Group: sales executive Brian Zolner and DSP software engineer Casey Dowdell. After Bricasti released the Model 7 reverberation unit in 2007, and it became what Zolner described to me as "a staple of the professional recording industry," the partners decided to enter the consumer market, in 2011, with the M1 DAC. In 2014 came the M28 monoblock power amplifier, and in 2016 the M12 Source Controller and matching M15 stereo power amplifier. These later products were engineered at AeVee Laboratories, in New Haven, Connecticut, by a small group of former employees of Madrigal Labs and manufactured at Bricasti's facilities in Shirley, Massachusetts.
"We like to make things that are very musical and natural," Zolner said. "I don't like things that are hyped-up in the top end. Everyone is mixing things with so much hype these days. I can't listen to that pop stuff that they're compressing and then pumping up, so we're careful to not go over the top end as well. We want to bring out what's in the recording while aiming for a relaxed sound that you can listen to for hours."
Description and Setup
Zolner, who calls himself "the mechanical guy," designed the M15's case, which comprises sections of milled and CNC-machined aluminum, assembled and given an anodized finish by Bricasti. Inside are a lot of custom mechanical components, and on the rear panel are proprietary, gold-plated speaker-cable binding posts, also designed by Zolner, that offer what he calls "exceptionally wide contact area," and open wide enough to accept two pairs of thick spade lugs. Inside, rather than using solder, Bricasti creates a superior molecular bond by high-pressure crimping the binding posts to double runs of fine-stranded (8 gauge) copper wire.
"There's nothing really esoteric or too crazy inside," Zolner continued. "There are 24 bipolar output devices per channel, bolted directly to the heatsink on the side of unit. The power supply has a very large capacitor bank—there are large, US-made electrolytics in the main cap bank—as well as lots of smaller, German-made, high-frequency WIMA film caps throughout the unit."
After consulting Bricasti's website and the M15's manual, and chatting further with Zolner, I learned that the M15 is, in his words, a "big, all-analog, high-current, fully balanced class-A/B power amplifier. Its bandwidth is to the megahertz. There's no filtering on the output, which is the case with analog amplifiers, so that the transients are not differently rendered, and it has very, very, extremely low output impedance and very low distortion. The thing is flat to 800kHz."
The M15's rear panel is in three horizontal sections. In the top section are widely spaced single-ended (RCA) and balanced (XLR) inputs. While shorting plugs (not provided) are urged for the balanced inputs if single-ended interconnects are used, I used only balanced cables between DAC and amp. In the middle section, below the inputs, are those two pairs of widely spaced speaker-cable binding posts.
A healthy distance below, in the bottom section, are, from left to right, trigger in/out, an RS-422 port currently used only for diagnostics, a detented trim control that can lower input sensitivity in four steps of 6dB each, to better match the output of a preamp or DAC, and a three-prong IEC connector. I never felt the need to change the amp's input sensitivity. Nor, thanks to the rear panel's intelligent design, did I ever need to worry about interconnects or speaker cables transmitting unwanted noise by coming in contact with the power cord.
On the M15's front panel are two vertically aligned buttons, Power and Standby, separated by a red LED power on/status indicator. Pressing both buttons generates a click, and triggers the LED to flash slowly as the amp enters Idle stage, in which it consumes only 2W. Only after the M15 has sensed that the voltage is within an acceptable range can it be fully powered up.
A quick press of Standby produces another click and faster flashing of the LED, to indicate that you've entered the pre-heating stage, in which 60W are consumed. A second quick press of Standby triggers a third click, the LED turns solid red, and the M15 unmutes its inputs to enable music playback.
Eager to hear how the solid-state M15 would sound with and without a tube preamp, I installed Lamm Industries' two-box L2.1 preamplifier ($22,790). With the bottom shelf of my five-shelf Grand Prix Monaco rack already filled with power products from Nordost and Isotek, I placed the dCS Paganini CD transport on the top shelf and the preamp's control module atop it. The remaining shelves held the Lamm preamp's power supply, the dCS Rossini DAC, and, sitting on a Grand Prix Formula platform, the Scarlatti clock.
I'd planned to place the Bricasti on one of my two Grand Prix Monaco amp stands, but when I looked at the M15's feet, I sensed in them a purposefulness meant to discourage the use of ancillary isolation products. Finding no information about them online or in the manual, I called Bricasti. It turns out that Zolner designed these feet, which house OEM Stillpoints decoupling modules and are intended to be placed directly on a hard surface. "I didn't want people to try balancing them on Stillpoints and having them fall over," Zolner said.
Goodbye amp stand, hello floor.

Understating the 8ohm wattage for other than honest means.
Submitted by georgehifi on June 22, 2018 - 1:59am
Here again (not as bad as some) is another amp manufacturer that purposely understates the 8ohm wattage, to make the 4ohm wattage look like it's doubling, then the 2ohm doubling again, just to make the amp look like it's a real great current pusher for the evilest of speaker loads, when in fact it's not. When is this sort of deceit going to end?
Manufacturer spec:
Bricasti specifies the M15 as outputting
125Wpc into 8 ohms
500Wpc into 2ohms
Stereophile tested results: Far from doubling fo each halving of impedance.!!!!!!!!!!!!
362Wpc into 2ohms, before switching off.

Submitted by hifiluver on June 22, 2018 - 4:50am
in fairness to the poor manufacturer, it does push out quite a lot of watts but it looks like it might be expedient for them to change some of their promotional literature?
What makes you say deceit?
Submitted by CG on June 22, 2018 - 7:02am
As you go lower in load impedance, eventually an amplifier's output power will be limited by the available current for a given output voltage. That's the doubling thing you refer to. It's based on Ohm's Law.
Higher load impedances require less current for a given output voltage. Again, Ohm's Law.
So, you end up with two forms of output power limiting.
One is the available current, which shows up at low impedances. This is usually due to either a control circuit or fuses limiting the output current to protect the devices or because of limited drive current for the output devices.
The other is the maximum output voltage, limited by the power supply rails and fixed voltage drops from various circuit elements, like the drivers. This shows up at higher load impedances where you normally aren't current limited.
For example, if you have bipolar power supplies of 56 Volts DC, that limits the maximum output voltage to 40 Volts RMS (.707 times the peak available voltage) in the case of a more-or-less conventional complementary push-pull transistor output stage that isn't of the "bridged-mode" variety. (That number gleefully presumes that there are no fixed drops due to base emitter voltages and that sort of thing.)
40 Vrms gives 200 watts into an 8 Ohm load, 400 into 4 Ohms, 800 into 2 Ohms, 1600 into 1 Ohm, 3200 into 0.5 Ohms, and so on. That's assuming there is adequate current available to get 40 Vrms into those load impedances. For example, 40 Vrms into 1 Ohm requires 40 Amperes of output current. For an 8 Ohm load, that's only 5 Amperes. Again, Ohm's Law.
So, at low impedances you're usually current limited for practical reasons and at higher impedances you're voltage limited.
But, all that plain ignores the realities of transistor behavior.
Very often, transistors display better linearity when run at higher voltages. There's a bunch of reasons for this, too involved to go into here - inspecting a few transistor data sheets would give you an idea as would doing some Spice simulations or device measurements. So, it's not at all uncommon to run devices above the absolute minimum required to attain the required rail voltages in order to get best linearity. A simple example of that is in preamps. Since the most output you ever need to clip almost every power amplifier in existence is about 2 Vrms, why not just run all preamps from 3 Volt rails? Performance!
Personally, I fail to see how an amplifier that operates to and above its specified output power is deceitful in any way. If anything at all, the manufacturer is being conservative and delivering more than they claim.
(No, I have no connection with Bricasti. I don't think I've even ever been in the same building as a Bricasti product, but I can't swear to the latter. I've certainly never seen or heard any of their products.)
Voltage limited
Submitted by prof on June 22, 2018 - 7:35am
I think you've made georgehifi's point.
There's a regime where the amplifier's power output is voltage-limited. That's the regime where halving the load impedance doubles the power output.
At low impedances, you leave that regime and enter a current-limited regime.
When driving a set of speakers, you'd like the amplifier to stay in the voltage-limited regime.
In reporting the power output as inversely proportional to the impedance, the manufacturer is implicitly claiming that their amp is in the voltage-limited regime from 8Ω all the way down to 2Ω. The actual measured power output belies that claim — with obvious implications for anyone contemplating using this amp to drive a "difficult" set of speakers.
We'll just have to disagree,
We'll just have to disagree, since I think you have that backward.
The voltage output is just the voltage output, at least until something limits the current and the output no longer approximates a true voltage source. The voltage output should be a (linear!) function of the applied input voltage signal.
I fail to see how the manufacturer is implying anything other than what output power the amplifier will maximally produce at some distortion level into a couple specified resistive load impedances. That it will do more than the specification at some impedances is not a failing of the amplifier. Just as producing lower distortion or noise than specified is a failure.
From all these comments, I'd have to conclude that Bricasti would have been more honest and better received if they had reduced the amplifier voltage rails to just barely above the minimum required to get 150 watts into 8 Ohms. They would have saved on heat sinking and perhaps on some other components due to reduced voltage ratings. Silly them! They must've had some reason to run the rails higher, wouldn't you say? I don't know for sure, but I tend to doubt that it was to inflame people commenting on a review.
I'd also point out that even 100 plus watts into difficult loads is a really, really loud sound level in most listening rooms inside people's houses. Even with our own speakers, which measure on the lower side in terms of efficiency, 100 watts output is brutally uncomfortable and hardly pleasant to listen to. (I've made the measurements) However, YMMV as they say.
If you examine the impedance plots for ...
Submitted by Ortofan on June 22, 2018 - 10:24am
... many of the speaker test reports, you'll note that at certain frequencies the impedance goes off the top of the chart above 20 ohms - let's suppose it may go as high as 24 ohms. In that case, your modified amp (with the power supply voltage reduced to the minimum needed to generate 150W into an 8 ohm load) will only be able output 50W.
To another comment, a continuous output of 100W may indeed result in a higher sound level than most can tolerate. However, if you listen to music with a sufficiently wide dynamic range then, even if the average sound level only requires just a few watts, well over 100W may be needed to avoid peak clipping. Also, you would need an SPL meter with a very fast response time and a peak hold function to accurately measure and display those peak levels.
Second thing first.
Submitted by CG on June 22, 2018 - 11:15am
What I did was to play a couple pieces of music as you describe. There's even a listing somewhere on the internet that tabulates measured dynamic range for a zillion recordings. I chose the best examples I had based on that listing.
While listening, I turned the volume up to beyond what we'd ever listen to. The music was too loud to be enjoyable. I then left the volume control at that point.
Then, I played a track with a tone that was generated at -12 dBFS and measured the voltage right at the speaker terminals at that volume level. BTW, that tone was REALLY loud, I must say.
Anyway, the voltage at the speaker terminal was about 6 Vrms. (I can't recall, exactly). That would mean that a 0 dBfs tone - as loud as it could possibly go - would be 24 Vrms. That's equivalent to 72 Watts into 8 Ohms, and scaled accordingly for other load impedances.
This test was done at a level considerably above even what an "enthusiastic" listening session might be, so I think there's plenty of useful headroom there. Probably far more than needed. I'd bet that a 15 Vrms maximum output amplifier (roughly 30 watts into 8 Ohms) amplifier would be more than enough in our situation here. Emphasis on "our". (That's presuming a lot, though, since lower power amplifiers often have much lower capacitance power supply filters and maybe fewer output devices in parallel - both also affect actual performance.)
This pretty much correlated with another observation. On most normal recordings, our volume control is run at somewhere between a preamp gain of -20 and -10 dB. (Max gain is zero.) If you do the numbers, that suggests that the maximum ever coming out of the amplifier was about 15 Vrms. (The higher gain settings are usually used for the few recordings where the peaks don't hit 0 dBfs)
Note that with phono based systems, you might have different requirements. Pops and clicks might cause extreme output levels from a phono preamp well beyond the highest of high musical levels you'll ever get. This can be mitigated through phono preamp design to a large degree, but it's still something that might be an issue in some cases. With a digitally based system, full scale is full scale and that's it.
For the first, almost all modern speakers are designed to be driven with amplifiers that approximate pure Voltage sources. So, while your point is accurate that the power drops with greater load impedance for a fixed Voltage, that ends up being irrelevant. The output Voltage will be whatever the input signal is times the gain of the amplifier as long as the amplifier is not being current limited. Unless there is a design fault with the loudspeaker, that won't affect the volume level at any one frequency.
So, this becomes a spec thing. If you use certain headphones, the load impedance can be 300 Ohms. What then?
What this really amounts to, for me, is that manufacturers design amplifiers that are close approximation to Voltage sources. (Most manufacturers, anyway) That's to match up with the loudspeakers. (Interesting question - which came first??) The way that's traditionally been used to spec amplifiers is to describe the output power supplied into a couple mostly arbitrary load resistances. That's what people more or less understand.
A better description might be, "Our UltraGreat (tm) amplifier acts as a Voltage source with an output impedance of no more than 0.2 Ohms from 20 Hz to 20 KHz. See the attached plot. The specified maximum output Voltage is 47 Volts rms, up to a maximum specified output current of 8.7 Amperes rms. At higher current demands, the output Voltage drops accordingly. Every amplifier will meet or exceed those performance parameters at an AC mains supply of 118 VAC or 236 VAC, depending on the input Voltage setting for the market.."
Personally, I think that would be better than using terms like damping factor and the rest. If individual examples beat those numbers, great!
This is a very funny discussion. It's like people getting worked up because the car they bought was only specified to attain 38 mpg on the highway and they're all getting between 48 and 56 mpg. Clear fraud on the manufacturers part.
What is the maximum power that ...
... your amplifier, with a 56V supply, can produce into a 24 ohm load?
Suppose your program material has a dynamic range of 22dB, instead of only 12dB as in your example. Then you would need at least 720W to avoid clipping with a 0dBFS signal. Even if the average level was 8dB lower, you'd still need over 100W for a 0dBFS input.
No, no, no, no, no....
Submitted by CG on June 22, 2018 - 2:19pm
I played music that many people measured having a high dynamic range.
I turned up the volume to way beyond the normal operating level. Just to be sure.
The -12 dBfs signal could have been anything whatsoever, as long as its level relative to 0 dBfs was known. This was just a simple value that wouldn't be unbearably loud when I crouched down next to the loudspeaker to make the Voltage measurement.
Knowing that -12 dBfs is 1/4 the voltage of full scale - by definition - that says the output Voltage level at 0 dBfs would be 4 times what I measured at -12 dBfs. Make sense?
How far above the "normal operating level" is ...
Submitted by Ortofan on June 22, 2018 - 4:13pm
... "way beyond" (in dB)?
What value of power output corresponds to your average "normal operating level"?
You haven't answered the question about the maximum power that your amplifier, with a 56V supply, can produce into a 24 ohm load.
Jeez, you got me.
I just reread your post and realized that I didn't answer your question. My apologies.
The answer is 66 watts.
The point is that it doesn't matter. My loudspeakers, like many (most?), are designed and built to be driven by Voltage sources. The acoustic output is a function of the Voltage applied at any frequency. Sure, the applied electrical power at any frequency is the square of the Voltage divided by the load impedance. All that means is that less electrical power is required at some frequencies to maintain the acoustic output level than at others. The same is true for very low impedances, but in the opposite direction. Just as it's not a given that loudspeaker impedance is uniform across the audio band, it's not a given that loudspeaker efficiency is uniform across the audio band with respect to applied electrical power.
Beyond that, I truly don't get what you're getting at here.
The original suggestion, since repeated, was that Bricasti and all these other manufacturers are a pack of deceptive liars because their amplifiers will produce higher output powers at 8 Ohm load impedances than they specify and that this behavior doesn't extend down to a very low load impedance. Hence, the amplifiers do not do what they claim or people infer that they claim. I didn't and don't support that position (which I now realize was a really stupid thing for me to do) because the amplifiers do what they say. (The jury is out on 2 Ohm load performance in the M15 due to the amplifier shutting down when driven to maximum power into that low an impedance. If that's a design problem, then the manufacturer's specifications are inaccurate.)
So, I suggested a reason why many amplifiers are able to produce greater than their specified output into an 8 Ohm load. My contention is that it's not due to some conspiracy, but because the amplifier linearity and/or noise performance may be improved when the Voltage rails are higher than absolutely required to meet the specified power output into 8 Ohms.
How this got twisted around into the need or desire for 720 Watts output into 24 Ohm loads is beyond me. So, I'm afraid I can't answer your question on the subject to your satisfaction.
As for what's "far above a 'normal operating level'", you'll just have to take my word for the idea that I turned up the volume control until a number of tracks, all measured to have very high dynamic range (as high as I could find), were painfully loud. Like so loud that the dogs ran out of the room, my wife came in to see what had happened, and I couldn't stand it much more. Then, I applied a track with a known level tone into the system and measured the Voltage at the loudspeakers while keeping the volume control unchanged. From that, I was able to calculate what power level is needed to blast our faces off on high dynamic range music material. Normally, we don't use the system in full face blast mode. In fact, this was the first time.
The full scale output of our DAC is 2 Vrms. The maximum gain of the preamp is unity (0 dB.) The power amplifier gain is 17 (just under 25 dB) as measured. That gives a maximum of just under 34 Vrms at the speaker terminals. (2 X 1 X 17). That's it - there ain't no more. During the test, the volume control ended up way below maximum. How much below maximum? Based on previous measurements, about 6 dB, but I admit that I did not measure this during this particular test. 17 Vrms into 8 Ohms is 36 Watts. And that was too loud for me.
I was curious what power we really needed and I answered the question to my own satisfaction. YMMV, as they say.

Prior to the 2016 AXPONA, the Bricasti DAC/Amp combo (into Tidal speakers) at my dealer is what drove my decision to purchase the M1 Limited Gold (which I use with BMC monos driving YG Acoustics Carmel), that I've never regretted. It bested the dealer's prior MSB/D'Agostino combo (driving Raidho) that had been a sonic benchmark for me.
Additionally, I've always received stellar support from Brian Zolner, answering any questions promptly and professionally.

Summing up, it's sloppy, indifferent (let's face it), shitty writing/ reviewing -on so many levels.
A note/message for Mr. Zolner: Why not simply inform Stereophile of the amps power bandwidth (open-loop bandwidth), slewing rate -and/or all other technical 'spec's' that suggests a competent (even exquisite) design ?
Throw in impressive 'subjective' interpretations realized at shows/via Bricasti owners etc. and a picture of incompetence is cast upon the unprofessional approach of Stereophile magazine operations.
Stereophile are doing themselves a great disservice by picking fights with manufacturer's as opposed to working together to find suitable common ground -that ultimately satisfies all concerns.

As too many now are using this "understating the 8ohm wattage" now to present a falsehood of the amp being able to double with each halving of impedance load. This has only crept in, in the last few years but it's growing, as it looks good on paper/ad specs
Well, I just looked at the
Well, I just looked at the published review of a Levinson Number 29 amplifier from April 1991. Guess what? It doesn't double its output power every time you halve the load resistance either. And since the measured output power into 8 Ohms was above what their specified value is (66 Watts versus 50 claimed), they must be (or were) promoting falsehoods, too.
So, this isn't new by any means.
My point is that that by the letter of what both manufacturers claimed, they met their specification. (With the exception of the M15 shutting down at very high power into 2 Ohms.) Both of these amplifiers do double output power every time the load impedance is halved as long as you operate them below their specified maximum (again, the M15 2 Ohm load thing applies here).
Here's the thing - neither manufacturer implied anything beyond what they said. I could be wrong, but in a quick search of the Bricasti literature, I saw nothing that said the M15 would produce even 126 Watts into 8 Ohms. Please correct me if I'm wrong about that.
So, if anybody is inferring anything, it's the readers of the review.

From the amplitude domain to the frequency domain
Submitted by 13DoW on June 23, 2018 - 4:57am
Great discussion on power output specs. Putting on my blue helmet, everyone is right! CG is absolutely correct in his analysis but George has a valid point because "doubling power into halving loads" is something that audiophiles think important, whether or not it is. So, a company massaging their numbers to imply it does fall somewhere in the continuum between "accentuating the positive" and "deceit".
Switching to the frequency domain. Brian Zolner told JVS that the amplifier is "flat to 800kHz". JA's Fig.1 shows that it is actually 200kHz (-3dB) and Fig.6 shows the open loop gain starts to roll off from 1kHz. I would be more impressed if the designer was more aware of the electrical performance than the casework.
13DoW
A considerable source of
A considerable source of distortion with transistors is capacitance that varies with applied signal voltage. Being capacitance, this non-linearity becomes more severe as you go higher in frequency. This alone can cause the distortion curve shape shown in Figure 6, even in amplifier designs that don't use overall loop feedback.
Your conclusion may well be accurate, but it's hard to say for sure.
As for the doubling thing, I think that's hard to pin on the manufacturer. They say that the M15 produces 125 Watts into 8 Ohms. It does that and more, but they only specify 125 Watts. (Not even 126 Watts.) At the power levels they specify, the M15 does double output power as the load halves - with the exception of the 2 Ohm thing. People can infer whatever they want into the spec, but that's on them, not the manufacturer. I don't think that's massaging of any sort.
You can certainly criticize Bricasti over the 2 Ohm issue as well as their flatness claim. The rest falls on the reader(s).
The whole doubling of power into halved loads is one of those urban legend things, at least to me. There's just so many reasons why an amplifier may have less apparent bass than another that you can't put it down to one measure. In many cases, what people call "greater dynamics" is actually just the opposite - the circuit design allows for signal compression, which makes it all sound louder. That approach has been used by guitar peddle builders since they started building pedals. The amplifier power supply often generates much higher noise levels when providing higher current, which can give the illusion of more bass as well.
Are either of these accurate reproduction? Nope. But, if it's pleasing to somebody's ears, it works.
Lots of people genuinely love the sound of SET amplifiers, which tend to compress and distort in a way similar to the way human auditory systems respond to ever louder sounds. There's something to be said for that approach, even if traditional measurements suggest that these amplifiers may not be so great.
The real unfortunate thing is that measurements as done today don't tell the potential customer (or designer!) enough. That's not because audio has some heretofore undiscovered physics behind it all. Instead, it's because the measurement techniques are really not very sophisticated, at least compared to other fields within electronics systems. In many cases, it's not even because the test gear is inadequate. It's because it's used in a way that's misleading or oversimplified. But, that's just the way it's done and has been done.
At this point, my bleating here is adding nothing to anybody's thinking and is just a waste of bits floating about the internet. So, I'm done. Good listening!
The associated equipment used
Submitted by Bogolu Haranath on June 23, 2018 - 10:27am
The associated equipment used with the amplifier(s) also makes a difference in the perceived sound quality ....... So, the moral of the story - "listen for yourself" ......... Of course, the measurements are very important ..............
Measurements must surely be
Measurements must surely be sophisticated enough in this day and age to determine if a good and true amplifier is doing its job i.e. amplify with little noise, alteration to source and do it with sufficient watts within a bandwidth. The basic audio amplifier has hit peak technology and done so for decades. What we're seeing are some manufacturers trying very hard to sell what is basically un-differentiable technology to a not so well informed public. I can sense the confusion and palpable frustration here. Confused customers hold back or they get burnt and it is so strange that those who lament impending doom to this industry are the ones who chart this path.
We have sites on the Web run
Submitted by dalethorn on June 24, 2018 - 5:29am
We have sites on the Web run by people who tear new phones apart and examine every piece, and they tell us as much as they can possibly glean from those observations, as well as any measurements they make. Wouldn't it be great if someone were taking apart expensive amps and speakers etc., and reporting on the quality of the parts and assembly, and whatever else they can discover?
I'll offer just one example of my thinking from the computer business. In 1985, HP introduced the second-generation laptop computer - the first edition being the "110" and the second gen being the "Portable Plus". It cost $3000 in 1985 dollars, or $5000 with 2 mb (not gb) of memory. Disk drives were separate. Mine failed, and spent nearly 3 months in HP's repair shop, while they "couldn't determine" what caused the failure.
We sold the same model to Steve Martin as he was just beginning to start heavy script writing. His also failed. Somehow we found one that worked to keep him up and running. I had good sources inside of HP in those days, and one particular engineer who worked on the project explained: "We had our design, and the bean counters decided that we could "tin-plate" a particular board rather than gold-plate it, and the voltages were low enough that the micro-corrosion was killing them."
So there's a lot that can be learned from tear-downs, especially if someone is using cheaper parts than need be in a high-priced component, on the premise that "it doesn't matter". We have enough good websites to report these teardowns too. But $18k amps, sold in handful quantities, aren't $900 cellphones sold by the millions, so we might never see this happen.

have just read the review and must say that I can't recognize any of what JVS noticed.
But then again Stereophile didn't like the M28 either ... so I think that the decision was already made before the listening.
So my comment to this review is that you can do better than this.

Gravlund63: It's far too generous to suggest Stereophile/fool reviewer's / magazine "can do better than this" (RE: Bricastic amplifier reviews) when in fact they "owe" readers, manufacturer's (the industry at large) a thorough, even-handed, educational/entertaining and sensible reporting.
Both Bricastic amp reviews failed all, equally alike. Just awful, biased and slanted observations that failed to even attempt further investigations and results.
Yet another nail in the coffin of such a flawed publication.

Police probe disability service
POLICE have launched an investigation after receiving complaints about the town's Shopmobility service.
Customers have alleged that the Disabled Information and Welfare Rights Centre (DICE), which runs the service from a base in the Port Arcades, has failed to deliver electric scoot-ers which they had paid for.
Investigating officer PC Robert Mackay told the Pioneer the probe was at an early stage.
He said: 'We've had some complaints from customers regarding the sale and non-delivery of Shopmobility scooters.
'At the moment we're not sure whether this may be a civil rather than criminal matter.'
This is the latest twist in the saga surrounding the future of the disability service, which is still operating as normal.
Back in March it was put up for tender by the borough council as it struggled to raise £6,000 to pay off a string of urgent bills.
Only a last-minute survival package prevented the service from closing at the end of that month.
Since then the owners of the Port Arcades have not asked the service to pay rent while it has been experiencing financial difficulties.

I did speed work today. On a track. Like a real runner. And I got up at 7:00 AM on a Saturday to do it.
I walked a lap and then ran a timed lap at my normal pace to see how fast I run. It was about what I expected. I was doing about a 13 minute mile. Told you I was slow! I would like to get to a 10 minute mile as my first mini-goal. So I walked another lap and then started running faster. I cut 45 seconds off my lap time so that was a 10 minute mile pace. I don't think at this point I could maintain that for more than a quarter mile. I started walking a lap again and was fully recovered by the time I was 1/4 way around the track. When I got back to the start, I ran another 10 minute pace lap. It was hard for me to do but I kept telling myself that I was going to be really mad if I stopped and promising myself that if I did it I could stop. I walked another cool down lap and went home.
I told the SO what I had done and he was interested in going to the track too. I so went back with him and walked while he did his workout. I walked another 2 miles. I'm glad he wasn't there for the speed workouts. I'm not ready for that yet. I'm embarrassed by how slow I am and he was a former fast, long distance runner before the army broke him. He's trying to learn to run again and I could keep up with him right now but I don't know if that's a good idea. My dad is threatening to run with me sometime. In my last conversation with him he was talking about slowing down his first race mile to 9 minutes so he has the stamina to finish with consistent 8 minute miles instead of going out fast and running out of steam. I don't think we are running-compatible yet.
There was a guy there running who was slower than me. That was good for me to see. I read Runner's World and read the blogs of fast runners so I think that everyone is super speedy. I need to realize that that's not true.
Afterwards we had to make amends to Freckles. We went out walking, TWICE, without her. We took her to the waterfall trail we found. I hoisted her up on the rocks by the falls. She was horrified. I took her leash off so she wouldn't get tangled and that convinced her that we were planning on running off without her. We ended up walking down a trail to the river. It is a nice area where kayakers can come ashore and walk up to see the falls. She refused to go in the river either. Eventually she decided that she could drink it but she wasn't going in. She fell in once up to her elbows and was unimpressed.
We went back up the trail to the falls and by this time I think she had gained some trust in us. When the SO went up on the falls she followed him.
She decided that hanging out by the base of the falls on the cool wet rocks wasn't so bad afterall.
Completely unrelated to your post, I just wanted to give you a big thank you for your secret post gift.

The Christina Leslie Lab
Christina Leslie: Research Overview
More About The Christina Leslie Lab
Our lab develops novel computational methods to study cellular biological systems from a global and data-driven perspective. We seek to exploit diverse, high-throughput functional and genomic data to understand the molecular networks underlying fundamental cellular processes, including regulation of transcription, pre-mRNA processing, signaling, and post-transcriptional gene silencing. Our algorithmic methods draw on machine learning, a computational field concerned with learning accurate, predictive models from noisy and high-dimensional data.
Modeling cell-type specific transcriptional programs
Leslie Lab @ cBio — Visit the Leslie lab Web page at cbio.mskcc.org [More »]Gene regulatory programs in distinct cell types are maintained in large part through the cell-type-specific binding of transcription factors (TFs). Next-generation sequencing technology now allows us to generate unprecedented data on the cell-dependent binding sites of TFs and their chromatin context. We have recently introduced new, discriminatively trained models for capturing the subtle DNA sequence preferences of TFs, and we have shown that some TFs recognize cell-type-specific sequence signals, due for example to differences in the composition of the TF binding complex.
We are now using DNase-seq data in human and mouse primary cells to model the establishment, maintenance, and loss of regulatory regions during lineage development. Our analysis of DNase-seq data in the T cell lineage and of Foxp3 ChIP-seq in regulatory T cells (Tregs) revealed that many Foxp3-bound loci are DNase accessible not only in Tregs but also in CD4+ T cells, even though Foxp3 is expressed only in Tregs. These various examples suggest a model where regulatory regions of some genes are made accessible and occupied by "place-holder TFs" at an earlier stage in differentiation.
Dissecting co- and post-transcriptional regulation
A strong focus of our lab is the computational analysis of post-transcriptional gene regulation, in particular microRNA-mediated gene regulation. We introduced the mirSVR target prediction method, computationally identified key targets of oncogenic and tumor suppressor microRNAs, and studied the system-level effects of competition of microRNAs for RISC and of targets for microRNAs. We are now exploiting recent next-generation RNA sequencing technologies to map co- and post-transcriptional regulatory events and to begin to dissect the layers of regulation that shape the transcriptome.
CLIP-seq combines cross-linking immunoprecipitation with high-throughput sequencing to identify the transcriptome-wide binding sites of RNA-binding proteins. We analyzed AGO CLIP-seq experiments in activated T cells from wild type and miR-155 knock-out mice and computationally identified miR-155-dependent AGO binding sites, providing a comprehensive target list for a key microRNA involved in immune system homeostasis. This study also demonstrated the prevalence of non-canonical target site patterns.
In addition, we are carrying out a large-scale computational effort to map and characterize alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (ApA) events and aberrant ApA in cancer cells. In order to map 3' ends transcriptome-wide at single base resolution and to quantify the differential usage of 3'UTR isoforms between cell types, we have developed a computational and statistical analysis framework for 3'-seq, a new tag-based next-generation sequencing protocol. We have compiled an atlas of human 3' cleavage events from 3'-seq experiments across numerous tissues and cell lines. Our analysis reveals coordinated and tissue-specific changes in relative 3'UTR isoform expression.
Cancer systems biology
Cancer genomics projects are generating rich multimodal tumor-profiling data sets, but this data is still underused. To move forward, we need novel and statistically sound approaches that integrate multiple data types in a mechanistically informed way in order to dissect the molecular pathology of cancer. We have developed an integrative strategy to combine mRNA, copy number, and miRNA profiles together with regulatory elements to decipher transcriptional and miRNA-mediated regulatory programs in cancer. We use a statistical framework based on lasso regression to explain tumor versus normal expression changes in terms of direct regulators (microRNAs and TFs) of gene expression. Our study on a large glioblastoma data set identified novel potential regulators for the proneural subtype of glioblastoma.
We are also developing computational methods to dissect the complex interplay between cancer cells and cells of the host microenvironment and model how these diverse interactions contribute to cancer progression and invasion. Our data comes from mouse models of primary tumors and metastasis as well as cell-based co-culture assays developed from these models. Our lab has been developing statistical models of tumor-stromal interactions using both standard expression profiling techniques as well as technologies tailored to the tumor microenvironment.

The true story of a Sacramento-based serial killer is relayed via an unconventional medium in Carey Burtt's unsettling 16mm short work The Psychotic Odyssey of Richard Chase. As a distorted narrator's voice intones, the disturbing biographical details of Chase's life are dispassionately relayed. Tracing Chase's development from troubled tot to full-blown sociopath, Burtt's movie visualizes the killer's heinous acts with a collection of action figures, crude drawings, and found footage. The clear stylistic forbearer here is Todd Haynes' seminal Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story. Each of these films uses toys to fill out its cast, at once distancing the audience from the narrative and daring us to let our guard down. In both, the campy novelty of the approach quickly gives way to something more genuine. As Psychotic Odyssey unfolds, the utterly alien nature of Chase's behavior supersedes the dolls or the narration as the most effective distancing effect here. This subject simply is too far gone to be adequately explained. It's to Burtt's credit that he dares not try. As the depths of Chase's depravity become clear, any laughs prompted by the novelty of Burtt's approach are likely to get stuck in your throat.
Despite the abstraction caused by the doll actors, Psychotic Odyssey grows increasingly gruesome as Chase begins to eat animals and eventually turns his attention to human victims. This film's extremely abstracted violence arguably becomes, in a way, as unsettling as any attempt at a more realistic representation might. It is impressive that Burtt creates such a sense of dread while wielding such a limited palette. Paper cutouts are used as stand-ins for Chase's perceived oppressors. An anatomical "visible man" model is used to visualize his hypochondriac fears. With primitive but expressive lighting, Burtt imbues his simple dioramas with real atmosphere. The crude crayon drawings and cardboard sets become more than adequate in this context. They drive home the impossibility of doing the film's subject full justice in this medium, and always remind the audience that in viewing cinema, we do not view truth. The chilling net effect of this six minute long descent into madness is greater than the sum of its parts. The home-made production values of Psychotic Odyssey domesticates Chase's insanity, associating it with familiar, typically benign objects, ultimately making it that much harder to shake off or compartmentalize.

4) Next, I was asked to add the following and remove the JUnit related dependency code from the pom.xml
<repositories>
       <repository>
          <id>JBoss repository</id>
          <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/</url>

5) Another change I did was this in web.xml:

        <param-name>resteasy.scan</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>

6) Ran following command : mvn clean package where the pom file was. This created target folder and war file etc.
The thing I am wondering is that there wasn't any java file I used anywhere in the above process as per the instructions I received. But I do have a java file where
a JAXRS webservice is defined and the package name mentioned inside that file is com.pkg.DownloadService. I am wondering if I should consider placing that
java file inside the folder DownloadService and then run all of the above commands? Because building a war file without any web service doesn't makes sense to me.

A: You should place your DownloadService.java under src/main/java/com/pkg. Following your directory structure, it looks something like:

The Garmin Edge 500 Cycling GPS heart rate monitor can take your cycling workouts to a whole new level. I feel it's the best cycling computer on the market. Find out why.
If you're serious about cycling and becoming faster and stronger then you need the best equipment. Of course your bike is going to be the most important item you own, but there are also other pieces of equipment that can help you train smarter and get the most out of your workouts. I highly recommend getting a top notch vascular pace calculator and GPS tracker. And one of the highest rated cycling monitors is the Garmin Edge 500.
It's really amazing what this technology has to offer today. With the Garmin Edge 500 you can track your speed, distance, altitude, and how many calories you've burned. You can even see how your body performed, according to your pulse rate measure, during steep climbs and rapid descents. You can map everything out according to detailed GPS readings, upload routes to your computer and the Garmin website, and compare your times to look at areas where you can improve. Using the Garmin Edge 500 as your training partner you will definitely improve. Here is some more about what you can expect from this outstanding cycling cardiovascular beat recording device.
The Garmin Edge 500 is a lightweight computer with GPS tracking; perfect for cyclists who want to keep a detailed account of their performance and heart rate; statistics that are useful in any workout. The Edge 500 guarantees accurate recording of speed, distance and location when in use through its super sensitive GPS capability. The Garmin bike computer comes with the ability to track 42 data fields and you can show one field up to eight at a time all on one screen. You can program the Garmin to autoscroll through all of the data pages while you're working out.
The Garmin Edge 500 comes with cadence as well to help guide you through your workout. So all you have to do is peddle, walk, etc. while the monitor takes care of everything else. Using a speed/cadence sensor allows you to choose the optimum speed to get you that perfect workout while constantly measuring your heart rate even when switching between speeds. When you can read your heartbeat, you can find the cadence that is both safe and beneficial for you. The Edge 500 also has Auto Lap, Auto Pause and a whole lot more features you would enjoy using.
You can easily mount the Garmin Edge 500 cycling GPS on your bike with its simple bike mount that you need only turn slightly to fasten in place. The Edge comes with a rubber disk that hooks onto the bike stem or handlebars using two heavy duty rubber bands. The actual Edge device then locks into place on the rubber disk.
When you are ready to go, just turn on the Garmin Edge 500 Heart Rate Monitor and acquire a satellite signal and you are good to go. The GPS is very accurate, to within about 20 feet or so, with the Edge 500 because it uses HotFix receivers to acquire your exact position while you workout.
When you begin your workout, all the features start working and you are able to measure your speed, time, distance, the calories you burn and even your altitude. All this data is recorded while you workout and stored on the gadget's memory for you to review at leisure. A barometric altimeter is used to gauge your altitude as you climb up and down hills.
The unit comes with four control buttons two on each side; the ones on the right side are used for navigation while the ones on the left are used for scrolling through the menu. When mute click is enabled, you will not accidentally press the buttons while you cycle.
In this video a competitive cyclist talks about some of the features of the Garmin Edge 500, what he likes about it, and shows some of what you can do on the Garmin Connect website.
The Edge uses your bike's weight, wheel size, and odometer value to calculate an array of highly accurate riding data. You can even have multiple bike profiles. This is ideal if you are into both on road speed cycling and off road mountain biking for example.
If you purchase the Garmin Edge 500 Cycling GPS Heart Rate Monitor you get ANT enabled power meters that show you how hard your workout is by displaying output in Watts so you can make the necessary adjustments to create the perfect workout. This essential tool tells you if you are working hard, so you do not rely just on guess work.
Other features you can expect with the Garmin Edge 500 are a Course feature that you can use to compare results from your regular routes. With the courses feature you can look at a course you did in the past and try to beat your time. For example, if the first time you did a course took 45 minutes you can try to beat that time during your next workout. There is even a virtual trainer icon that shows up on the screen of the Edge 500 that you can race against. The screen shows your position relative to the virtual partner and how much time and distance you are ahead or behind. Pretty cool.
The Edge 500 works by tracking beats per minute and doing some computing to assess your calorie count while you workout. This is important information if you really want to find out just how effective your workouts are on your body. In order for the Garmin Edge 500 to count calories for you, you have to enter some details about yourself such as height, age, weight, the weight of your bike and so on.
In order to get the best out of a workout, the Edge 500 enables you to find the perfect zone so that you burn the most calories without the possibility of slipping into a workout plateau. You can also track your heart rate zones so that you can stay in a set zone and not over or under train. For example if your workout for the day is a recovery workout, the cardio rate zone settings will be lower than if you were doing an intense sprint workout. If you push yourself too hard and your pulse rate rises above the set training zone, the Edge 500 will beep letting you know to back off a little and slow down the pace.
In order to get the readings of your workout, you must connect the Edge 500 to your computer using the included USB cable and if you want to, you can access a worldwide network of successful cyclists where you can connect and share your experiences and have plenty of fun. This website connects outdoor enthusiasts and cyclists from all over the world and it is only one click away.
The Garmin Edge records and saves up to 180 hours of ride data (50MB). When the memory is full the Edge will tell you and you can delete it manually. Be sure to upload your history to the Garmin training center on your computer or to the Garmin Connect website to save and keep track of all of your riding data.
GSC10 Speed/Cadence sensor – This device measures the rate of your pedaling or spinning.
Long battery life – Battery power will be shown in percentage and will decrease according to how you use the unit. When the backlight is on, the device will lose power faster. You cannot access the battery but you can charge it with the adaptor that comes with the unit or through the USB cable that you connect to your computer. After fully charging the battery, it will last up to 18 hours while turned on.
Easy mount – Using the rubber plate and tight elastic bands.
Plenty of information – There are over 42 data fields you can track and you can control what data you see on the screen.
Cool software and website – You can analyze your data 'till your heart's content using the Garmin software your computer. The Garmin website is also a whole community of users that you can share information with and get advice from.
Takes a while to learn how to use all of the features – As with any complex electronic device, there is a bit of a learning curve with the Garmin Edge 500. Don't worry though, once you have it figured out it'll be easy and you'll love all that you can do with this device.
Owners talk about how easy the Edge 500 is to mount on their bikes and how small and compact it is. Most people like how they can mount the unit anywhere on their bikes using the elastic bands and rubber pad that come with it. They also like all of the data fields that you can set the Edge 500 to show. One owner liked showing five pieces of data on his device where the main thing he wanted to see was at the top in the largest box and then four smaller boxes under it with other training information. The computer upload software and the Garmin website are two other big pluses. Some users have transferred data to Google Earth to get an even more enhanced map display.
Users really appreciate the fact that the Garmin Edge 500 Cycling GPS device is specifically optimized for cycling. It is small so it will not be mistaken for a Smartphone or PDA; plus, it is so easy to mount on a bicycle.
There were not a lot of negative coming from users of the Edge 500. The main issues concerned learning how to use the device and figuring out all of the data that it records. Of course once you figure out how to use it, you'll love all of the data you have at your fingertips using the Garmin Edge 500. There were also a couple of issues with being able to read the screen; again, too much information in a small space. You can correct this by having the screen show just one or two data flows. Overall the Edge has an average rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars out of over 60 reviews on Amazon.com. Over 82% of owners gave it 4 or 5 stars, which is outstanding. You can read more Garmin Edge 500 reviews by clicking here.
There are a number of sporting goods and bike shops selling the Edge 500 but I found a great deal on Amazon.com. They were selling this model for a 5% discount new. They also had several used and refurbished models for discounts so you are sure to find something in your budget. Amazon is a great place to shop and I've always had a great experience buying from them. Click here to get the best deal on the Garmin Edge 500 Cycling GPS .
When you consider all the features of this unit, the pros far outweigh the cons and it would be a wonderful addition to your cycling workouts. With the Garmin Edge 500 Cycling GPS Heart Rate Monitor, you can expect fun and smart cycling. When you start training with this new gadget you will soon start to see improvement in your performance and you'll ensure that you get the best out of every workout session.

Bitter Pill: The High Health Costs of Climate Change
by Vijay Limaye
We know that climate change is already contributing to dangerous heat waves, infectious disease outbreaks, extreme weather events, and wildfires, among other climate-fueled events—and that these events cost billions of dollars in lost lives, emergency room visits, and hospital admissions. The projected health and economic burden of climate change will be enormous if carbon pollution continues unchecked and communities are not prepared. But these costs are not only a future concern, they are already being paid by Americans. In a study published in the journal GeoHealth, NRDC experts and a University of California-San Francisco economist examined the health impacts and costs of 10 climate-sensitive case study events affecting 11 U.S. states in 2012, including wildfires in Colorado and Washington, ozone air pollution in Nevada, and extreme heat in Wisconsin. The health costs of the 10 case studies alone totaled an estimated $10 billion (2018 dollars).
The increasing health effects and costs of climate change cannot be ignored. We must take immediate steps to broaden our understanding of these health risks and improve our ability to reduce and prepare for future climate-related health hazards and costs.

The Auros, a peaceful race, have depleted their natural resources and must collect the beans to power their planet. The Nemos, an imperial war-like race, are collecting the beans to build a vast army of mechros in order to conquer the galaxy one planet at a time. The mechros are robotic machines that require eggro beans for power and upgrades. Forces from both sides have been sent to collect the beans from specific planets like the Jungle Planet, Treasure Planet, Ice Planet, and the Ghost Planet.
Here are some of the many mechros available in Robo Smasher.

City redistricting to be decided in November election
By Jeff Landa | Staff
Tweet Comment1
City council member proposes ballot measures to reform redistricting process
Berkeley City Council delays decision on student district
City council weighs new redistricting option as referendum decision looms
Berkeley voters will now have the power to decide the fate of the city's future district lines after Berkeley City Council voted Tuesday to place the city's previously approved student district on the November ballot.
The council originally passed a new student-majority district — the Berkeley Student District Campaign map — by a 6-3 vote in December, triggering a successful referendum campaign from those who criticized the map for its exclusion of Northside co-ops and dorms, among other issues. Due to the referendum, the approved map was suspended, and the council had to either choose a new redistricting plan or place the BSDC map on the ballot.
At Tuesday's meeting, the council decided 6-3 to defer the issue to voters, with Councilmembers Jesse Arreguin, Max Anderson and Kriss Worthington opposed, meaning Berkeley residents will choose whether to accept or reject the BSDC map during the November election. If voters decide to reject the map, the council will again have to go through the redistricting process, leaving the current district lines in effect in the meantime.
"It's an issue that's divided our community, and I don't know if there is a compromise that is acceptable," said Mayor Tom Bates at the meeting. "The best way to do this is to place it on the ballot and let the people decide."
Because Tuesday's decision means the city will fail to meet the April 1 deadline to submit new district lines for the 2014 midterm election, it is unclear which boundaries will be in place for the November election. Therefore, the city plans to seek outside legal counsel and go to the state courts, where a judge will mandate an interim map to use for the election.
While ASUC redistricting director and BSDC map supporter Noah Efron said he thinks it is a good idea to place the map on the ballot, he noted that a risk remains that voters may reject the map and prolong the creation of student-majority district.
"When the referendum campaign started, we warned them there was a chance that we could lose everything and the effort for a student district would be for naught," Efron said. "They (pursued) a referendum despite that risk, but that's where we are now."
Stefan Elgstrand, a UC Berkeley senior and vice treasurer of the referendum coalition, expressed disappointment that the council opted for an "undemocratic" and "unreasonable" way to resolve the redistricting issue.
Worthington and Arreguin raised similar concerns that resorting to the courts could result in legal maneuvering done outside of the public's purview after Bates suggested at the meeting that conversations with an outside attorney may be done in closed sessions.
"It's not an issue that requires a closed session, and (doing so) will exclude the community," Arreguin said.
On Monday, Arreguin submitted to the city clerk a charter amendment that would transfer redistricting power from the City Council to an independent redistricting commission comprising Berkeley citizens. The amendment, if Arreguin gathers enough signatures by May 8, would be placed on the November ballot. Coupled with this measure would be a compromise map that would include Northside student residences and create a new district west of San Pablo Avenue.
"There is no reason to me why the council simply could not come to the table and work with us to try to reach an agreement other than arrogance and intransigence," Arreguin said.
As of now, no dates have been set for consultation with an outside attorney, and it remains unclear which temporary map a judge will select for the November elections, according to city spokesperson Matthai Chakko.

Ys IX: Monstrum Nox Will Hit Japan in September, But Doesn't Have a Worldwide Release Window
Brianna ReevesWednesday, April 24, 2019
Watch Gallery
Nihon Falcom has finally announced when Ys fans in Japan can expect to begin playing the new installment. Ys IX: Monstrum Nox will hit store shelves in Japan for the PlayStation 4 on September 26, 2019. Unfortunately, it remains unclear as to if and when the franchise's latest entry will launch in Western territories.
This news of a release date comes several weeks after Nihon Falcom's tease that Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is scheduled to launch sometime this fall. The September 26th date has since been confirmed in the newest Weekly Famitsu issue. The installment also noted that Dogi, a longtime companion, will play a major part in the game's narrative.
Ys IX: Monstrum Nox was officially revealed late in 2018, during a Nihon Falcom shareholder meeting. At the time, the company was not willing to divulge much about the title, barring concept art and a handful of screenshots. Since then, Nihon Falcom has shared story and gameplay details, as well as a glimpse of protagonist Adol Christin with an all-new look.
Check out Adol Christin's new appearance in the image below:
What may first stand out to fans of the series is the protagonist's new hair color. As opposed to his typically having a head of red hair, Adol now has luscious locks that appear blue and black in color. This is not the only new addition, either. The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu also revealed a new ability, the supernatural power referred to as "Way of the King: Crimson Line." With this ability, players will be able to teleport, even in combat situations. However, it does not yet seem clear as to whether the teleportation power will have any limits.
Ys IX will have players explore the franchise's newest location, Prison City. While there, Adol Christin becomes involved in a mystery concerning Monstrum, who are people with supernatural powers.
