Shopping for excuses
Postedby Sarah Hutchins
Want to buy that video game or new coat even though you know you won't have enough money later for food or rent? Are your parents and friends tired of enabling your overspending habits by helping you out when your bank account falls short?
Well, shopaholics, according to The New York Times, the psychiatric world is working on making your petty buying impulses into a proper mental disorder. That ought to generate an excuse to get Mom and Dad off your back for a little while.
If there's one thing Americans are skilled at, it's coming up with excuses, especially when it pertains to money.
Working at a bank, I am constantly bombarded with excuses for overdraft accounts as they beg, plead and scream obscenities in attempt to have fees waived. No one reads the fine print. So what the money wasn't in there then, it is now. These are not people whom only go overdrawn once in awhile, but are habitual abusers. These are shopaholics who can't go without DirectTV or that Nordstrom purchase.
If psychologists still feel that treating shopaholism is more important, perhaps they should consider the treatment not on an individual basis, but as a condition of our society. No one ever talks about Third World countries being shopaholics. Even talking to Europeans who have access to luxuries, they are content with not having the biggest SUV or best entertainment system.
Suggesting that impulsive shopping is a mental problem rather than a societal concern is the perfect ploy for psychologists, who are no doubt suffering from the economic crisis because fewer people can afford their outrageous fees. Patients who have been laid off must now choose to pay for food and rent rather than therapy.
So naturally, psychologists are going after the people who have no qualms about spending money. Rather than ceasing to spend money, shopaholics will instead be plumping up the bank accounts of psychologists and pharmaceutical companies. Indeed, this "recent breakthrough" suspiciously coincides with the season where people will be receiving their tax returns and (hopefully) stimulus checks.
The New York Times says, "While shopaholism, as the laymen say, has been recognized by the German psychiatric community as a subset of obsessive-compulsive disorder, it still awaits its day in the United States."
The attitude of The New York Times article alludes that we're lagging behind the Germans. But since when did the United States have the mindset the something must be right because Germany is doing it? Last I checked we should consider what is morally and ethically right for America.
We can look at other countries for guidance but nothing is mentioned as to how German shopaholics have been helped or hindered by this classification. Also, other countries should be mentioned for a well-rounded perspective if this is the angle that's been undertaken. There are so many other issues at large that psychologists could be looking at that seem more pertinent.
Children are suffering from the economic downfall, living in cars and starving. People who are already diagnosed with disorders such as bipolar, obsessive compulsive and attention deficient should be given priority. Right now, they're just being handed medications.
Americans need to get over the notion that there's nothing that a magic pill cannot mend. One of my friends is taking several different antidepressants and then more pills to stabilize the antidepressants. She's only 20 and she takes six pills total just for depression. And she's still depressed.
People of this country need healing, but it goes beyond pills. Medication is only a temporary Band-Aid that doesn't reach the heart of the issues that need to be resolved. Patients are prescribed medications that should only last to stabilize a person so that they can be open to real healing one can't find in a bottle.

So on first glance, these jobs numbers are nothing but bad. 96,000 new jobs with downward revisions on the two previous months. So as far as description is concerned, it looks like weak growth continues to carry the day. So "what does it mean?" Well, it means we aren't suddenly in a booming economy; things continue to peter along.
"What does it mean" has another interpretation, though: what will happen as a result? The upshot as far as I can tell?
Undecided voters will mostly hear 8.1% unemployment and think these are good numbers.
The fire under the Republicans to ensure the "fiscal cliff" doesn't occur will continue to burn hotter, meaning Obama might be able to make some headway on either stimulus or deficit reduction or both in a second term.
Certainly Nate Silver at fivethirtyeight has stressed that the jobs numbers will have significant consequences for the election: good numbers and Obama's sure to win; bad enough numbers and he's out. The Bernanke is relying on these BLS numbers, among others, to try to decide what to do. So I was trying to think about what to think about the actual consequences of the numbers. I'm just freewheeling here, but I think there might be some interesting and counter-intuitive results.

Iowa's statewide historic preservation summit goes virtual
This year's premier statewide historic preservation conference will be presented virtually to allow all participants to gather online.
Instead of gathering among the city's historic buildings and majestic riverside bluffs, participants in the 2020 Preserve Iowa Summit will connect online June 4-6 with a mix of live and pre-recorded sessions, virtual tours and an awards ceremony to celebrate outstanding preservation projects across Iowa.
"We're using new tools and technology to protect and preserve the past," said Chris Kramer, director of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs. "Iowans care deeply about our history and understand how historic properties enhance our communities, so we encourage Iowans across the state to tune in, broaden their knowledge and build their skills."
The Iowa Department of Cultural of Affairs and its State Historic Preservation Office are co-presenting this year's summit with the city of Dubuque, in partnership with the Dubuque Historic Preservation Commission, Travel Dubuque, Preservation Iowa, Heritage Works, RDG Planning and Design, and the National Park Service.
During the summit, state and national experts will lead a range of sessions about historic preservation, including practical tips on restoring stained glass, repairing historic terra cotta, applying for tax incentives, and even using music history as a way to encourage preservation, as residents have done in Clear Lake. The virtual summit also will showcase Dubuque's rich history, from Steeple Square to the Central Avenue corridor to the iconic WPA stone structures at Eagle Point Park. On Saturday, sessions on a variety of museum topics will be of interest to staff and volunteers working in history museums and historical societies.
This year's keynote speaker is Carl Elefante, the former president of the American Institute of Architects, who is perhaps best known for coining the phrase "The greenest building is the one that is already built." He has dedicated his career to promoting sustainable architecture and plans to focus his address on how historic preservation can be a powerful tool in the fight against climate change, a timely topic as the world marks Earth Day's 50th anniversary.
2020 Preserve Iowa Summit
Where: Online. All registrants will receive a link to participate via Zoom.
When: June 4-6

Traveling to Tahoe can be rough at times. So what's better -- driving or flying there?
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- If you've driven up to Lake Tahoe, you know that there can be some pretty big traffic tie-ups. We wanted to get a better idea of how driving there compares to flying. So we sent two people to find out!
Reporter Melanie Woodrow traveled by plane and Video Journalist Juan Carlos and Production Assistant Melissa traveled by car.
Melanie says her trip cost roughly $243. That breaks down to a $147.77 flight (which would have been $70ish if she had booked earlier), $65.60 for her ride to the Oakland Airport, and $29.75 for the shuttle to Lake Tahoe.
Juan Carlos and Melissa spent $30 on gas, $26 on food, $6 for bridge toll, which totals $62.
All three left ABC7 in San Francisco at 6 a.m. Melanie headed to the airport in a taxi and Juan Carlos and Melissa hopped into a car.
Juan Carlos and Melisa had an easy drive right off the bat.
As they stopped for gas, Melanie was making her way through security in Oakland and arrived at her gate.
In what seemed like no time at all, Juan Carlos and Melissa were on Highway 50.
Not long after, Melanie's flight took off at 8:26 a.m.
Things seemed to be going smoothly for both teams.
Melanie arrived at the Reno-Tahoe Airport at 8:59 a.m. But then came the long wait for her 10:30 a.m. shuttle to Lake Tahoe.
So while Juan Carlos and Melissa cruised along with no problems, Melanie waited. And waited. And waited.
Juan Carlos and Melissa were so confident, they even stopped for a selfie in Silver Fork, getting some incredible views.
10:16am - Can't stop taking pictures! Beautiful.
So far no chains required.
Finally, Melanie's shuttle arrived to take her from Reno-Tahoe Airport to South Lake Tahoe.
She got some pretty sights and listened to some classic rock, hoping she would arrive first.
But Juan Carlos and Melissa were tasting sweet victory, enjoying the ride down to South Shore, minutes away from arriving.
10:28 - At the summit 7,200 feet. Now comes a sweet ride down to south shore.
And they were the winners!
10:50am - Where are you @MelanieWoodrow? We have arrived in South Lake Tahoe.
A downed tree put a pause on her trip.
And the victors couldn't help but rub it in.
Driving won this time, but Melanie pointed out that many factors could have made a difference in her commute -- like leaving at a different time, the weather conditions and if they had chosen to meet in North Lake Tahoe instead.

Home Interviews Software/Plugin Interviews Ohm Force – Raphael Dinge
Software/Plugin Interviews
Ohm Force – Raphael Dinge [Lead Developer]
Ohm Force is a French software manufacturer, responsible for distortion plug-ins like Ohmicide and filters like Frohmage that are used by the likes of Skrillex and Trent Reznor. Having already built a name for themselves with their plugins, the company now aims to break into the world of DAWs, with their collaborative sequencer, Ohm Studio. In order to gain more insight into their products, I sat down with the company's lead developer, Raphael Dinge, and picked his brain on what the company is currently up to.
Hi Raphael. Can you tell me a bit about your background and how you got into the software industry?
I was born in 1976, and a few years later was programming on computers with an old Apple II. I had a friend called Julien Boeuf who wanted to start an audio company with his best friend, Laurent de Soras, and his cousin, Gregory Makles. Since we were all doing music and most of us were into programming, getting into this industry seemed like a good idea. I'd been studying mostly mathematics, while almost all the others did engineering in school, and Laurent had to teach me how to code. So we started the company whilst we were still in school.
What's your current role at Ohm Force?
I'm the Lead Developer on our Ohm Studio project. It involves a lot of R&D, programming, and some graphic design. My role changed quite a lot over time though. When I begun, I was the only developer on Mac, so I was mainly porting our Windows plug-ins.
Everybody in the company generally has multiple roles. For example, our CEO, Franck Bacquet, is the one who redesigned our websites from scratch.
Can you give me a breakdown of what Ohm Studio is and what it does?
Ohm Studio is the first real-time collaborative DAW. It's a standalone workstation which supports professional standards like VST, audio recording,MIDI and it has a full-featured mixer. Its look is very similar to other DAWs, except for the chat window on the left when you're working on a project. Its distinctive feature is online collaboration. You can get in touch with other musicians, invite them to your project, share ideas and work on the same project at the same time in real-time.
What led you to guys to decide to create Ohm Studio?
Actually, the Ohm Studio concept was the starting point of the company. We made plug-ins only because we had no money to fund the software, and needed a way to do so. Incidentally, Ohm Force became a renowned plug-ins manufacturer thanks to Laurent's incredible work on DSP. After a few years of making plugins, we were able to start the developing Ohm Studio.
Ohm Studio breaks new ground in terms of collaboration, but does it have any other features that set it apart from it's competitors?
Apart from the collaborative technology, we have the "Rack" feature, which has had a very positive response from our users. This simply allows users to create multiple tracks (audio or MIDI) for one instrument, particularly in the case of romplers, with one different instrument on each MIDI channel. This allows for non-destructive "touch" parameter automation, for example.
We also have a "zooming user interface". This is difficult to describe, but a lot of our users gave us very positive feedback on it. It allows you to navigate very fast in your song, while not getting lost, and this is the first time such a concept has been used in a DAW.
How has the beta testing been going?
The beta test has lasted a long time. Our testers gave us feedback on the GUI and the feature that were missing. We've been closely listening to them and adding features, as well as correcting bugs. It required a lot of work to make VST plug-ins work, and we fine-tuned the GUI a lot; the first version and the current version look like completely different pieces of software.
Our testers are quite satisfied now. Some features are missing, but being able to create music with other musicians is an absolutely unique feature. We have the general chat which is public, and from time to time we have some great comments, and some funny ones, like, "Using Ohm Studio allowed me to stop playing World of Warcraft" and "At this pace, my wife is going to ask for divorce. I wish I never discovered Ohm Studio".
(Above: Raphael Dinge)
Given that Ohm Studio's trademark feature is it's collaborative features, how does it fare for those without Internet access?
As of now, an internet connection is required in order to use Ohm Studio. As a lot of our users asked for the possibility to work "offline", we started to look more into this. Some people want to be able to work on the road, and re-synchronize seamlessly when reconnecting, while other people only wanted a way not to appear online.
Won't the limited Internet bandwidth of some people hamper their progress with Ohm Studio?
In practice, and quite surprisingly, bandwidth did not appear to be an issue at all. Each user action will only send the difference he applied to the project, which is in most cases just a few bytes long. There are some concerns when using VST plug-ins such as Kontakt, where the presets might be huge, as well as when transferring audio. However, this was never a real issue to our users, or at least it wasn't reported as one. We'll continue to fine tune it a bit, like handling unexpected disconnections a little bit nicer.
Does Ohm Studio feature 64 bit compatibility?
Not for now, but users can use their 64-bit VST plug-ins by using J-bridge. It should be noted however that the audio engine is running as a separate application from the GUI. This means that our GUI doesn't consume memory that otherwise should be used for the plug-ins. That said, we're working on a 64-bit version already.
Is the long-term goal for Ohm Studio to compete with other DAWs on the market, or are you guys trying to create a new lane for yourself?
It's a difficult question to answer. All users have different ways to work, and have different preferences that will lead to the choice of a DAW. We want to enhance Ohm Studio's features to match our user's need, whilst at the same time enhancing inter-operability with other DAWs.
Should we try to compete with other DAWs? I think we have a chance, yes. Technically speaking, this is something you can see with DAWs like Presonus Studio One, and perhaps BitWig. The idea is that as time goes by, making changes to a piece of software takes more time. At some point, you probably even need to consider redesigning your software from scratch. This is a very risky decision that some established DAWs don't want to take. For example, it's easy to support 64-bit if you developed the software with this in mind from the beginning. But if you have to do it later, it can be quite difficult to do, and this might explain why a lot of companies took a whole year to get it done. Because we're starting fresh, it's easier to meet our user's expectations. So yes, we do have a chance in the long run.
What have been your main means of marketing Ohm Studio?
The project started as early as 2007. We made a lot of mistakes in the original DAW design. After a few years, we launched an alpha test, and almost nobody understood the software. The plug-in market turned out to be different from the DAW market. Being different is a good thing for the plug-in market. For DAWs, being too different is a very bad idea, unless you have a deliberate intention of fulfilling a need that other DAWs don't. Users are also less tolerant with bugs for a DAW than for their plug-ins. We found out that a DAW should be virtually bug free. Now, we have an automated testing code that's longer than the code being tested, and we are trying to push this technique in all the software to reach the maximum quality possible.
What have been your greatest obstacles in creating this DAW with regards to things like coding, funding, marketing, finding staff, etc?
We were lucky to quickly discover that bringing this technology to life was not a problem of coding, but rather about finding a robust mathematical model. There are some existing technologies that allow for the making of collaborative software, but they're not suited at all for DAWs, since they were mostly made for text editors.
Funding was essential, as it allowed us to take the time to fine-tune the model, before we would actually implement it. Our first investor is none other than the state of France, as part of its innovation program called OSEO.
We were also lucky with the staff we have. Every one here is pro-active, and can work autonomously, while putting a strong emphasis on internal communication.
The GUI research took an important place in the process. The basis of any interface is to let the user understand his actions through the following questions : who, what, when. In a single-user environment this is quite easy : "who" is user, and "when" is the present. But in a multi-user environment, even "who" is a potentially difficult question. I think we found a nice solution to that problem, since our users report that feel that it's very natural.
Any estimates on what the final release will be priced?
We will offer a limited free version next, for a standard monthly subscription, priced at €9. Some people would rather go for a one-shot price without subscription, and that's something we're still thinking about.
When can we expect Ohm Studio's release?
We are fine-tuning some portion of the software, removing bugs and incorporating our premium code into the client. This should happen by the end of July. Parallel to that, we're already focusing on Ohm Studio 2, and we started writing the code a month ago. This new version will have a totally new audio engine, and will include all the features that our users have been waiting for, and more. We already conducted some tests on the new engine, and results are just awesome.

A Taller Tale…
Five thousand years have passed since gaming was outlawed. In fact, it was the first law and the only law given to the surviving peoples.
The world destroyed itself because the nations allowed their defense computers to play war games with other countries until one system decided to play for real. Needless to say, it cost billions of lives.
The inhabitants of the new world only knew peace and happiness, and their minds were purged of the remembrance of games. This new world was a paradise and not at all like C-53.
One day a young boy discovered a small cave among the ruins near the Sea of Tears. He looted a Tandy 1000, a copy of Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards on a 5.25 floppy disk, an MS-DOS manual and torn card that read, "Block Bu…"
The boy began to study!
It took him a year to learn how to hook up the PC, and he saw that it was good. He declared himself, "3p1c."
Another 5 years passed before he learned DOS, and saw that is was good. He declared himself, "3p1c l337."
Ten years passed, and he finally got Larry laid, and he saw that it was good. However, something malevolent and hideous was born, and he declared himself, "3p1c l337 ub3r 5up3r r4d c00l dud3."
Once again, the decline of another civilization had begun…

Programming – The Third Discipline
Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program. -Linus Torvalds
Basically, I'm going to learn BASIC and then C what happens because the language has its pluses. Then I can C sharp things happening.
Holy Crap! I just saw a Python!
The first programming assignment I had in high school was to find the first 100 Fibonacci numbers. Instead, I thought it would be cooler to write a program to get the teacher's password and all the other students' passwords. And the teacher gave me an A and told the class how smart I was. -Kevin Mitnick

Magnetism, Electricity & Electronics – The Second Discipline
Electricity can be dangerous. My nephew tried to stick a penny into a plug. Whoever said a penny doesn't go far didn't see him shoot across that floor. I told him he was grounded. – Tim Allen
You cant study computing without magnetism, electricity, and electronics, the second discipline of computing. Therefore, I am also conducting self-study on these subjects as well.
Electric fish have been "shocking" people since to dawn of time by using their electric organs to hunt and defend themselves. This type of electricity is generated chemically by cells called electrocytes. Best to leave these fish alone.
Lightning has also been around for eons of time but has only been confirmed as electric in the last 300 years. Lightning is an electrostatic discharge1. Static electricity is also an electrostatic discharge, so now you know why dryer sheets were invented.
Tranquil but dangerous

Math – The First Discipline
If you stop at general math, you're only going to make general math money. – Snoop Dogg
Snoop is right. If I want to learn about computing and perhaps make some money on the side, I need to sharpen my math skills.
I have started a review of good old arithmetic. More on that later.
By about 2000 BCE, the Babylonians and the Egyptians were pretty good at arithmetic as well as geometry, and some proto-algebra, after all, the Egyptians build the pyramids. Although neither of these civilizations used our current base-10 system, they were practiced enough to turn out solutions to Pythagorean's theorem referenced in the Plimpton 3221, a clay tablet dated to 1800 BCE. Interestingly, this document was written administratively for something like civil engineering and not something a mathematician would compose. Still cool though.
Pythagorean Theorem
Plimpton 322 clay tablet, with numbers written in cuneiform script.
Mathematics is not something that you find lying around in your back yard. It's produced by the human mind. Yet if we ask where mathematics works best, it is in areas like particle physics and astrophysics, areas of fundamental science that are very, very far removed from everyday affairs." What does that imply? "It suggests to me that consciousness and our ability to do mathematics are no mere accident,no trivial detail, no insignificant by-product of evolution. – Paul Davies, "Are We Alone?"
Introducing Classic Computing
Information theory began as a bridge from mathematics to electrical engineering and from there to computing. – James Gleick
I created the Classic Computing blog because I know absolutely nothing about classic computing or the disciplines required to understand it.
I wondered on to a website that showed a brief timeline of the history of computing and games and was immediately interested to learn more. However, I found myself wholly lacking in the necessary education to understand how a computer works. Learning more about mathematics, electronics, and programming is a big job.
Therefore, I have decided to track all these computing disciplines through history and build my knowledge gradually. This is perhaps a problematic undertaking, but what the heck.
I hope you can assist me with your experience and keep me from blowing my self up.

Chiltern Railways in Association with Vintage Trains ran a number of steam hauled services between London Marylebone and High Wycombe on the weekend of 1st and 2nd April 2006. The trains were to mark 100 years of the Great Central and Great Western Joint Line between London and High Wycombe. The line was built by the two companies to provide an alternative route for the Great Central out of London (their existing route being to share the Metropolitan Railway route via Amersham and Aylesbury) and to provide a more direct route for the Great Western services to Birmingham.
The 13:58 service from High Wycombe to Marylebone arrives at Beaconsfield on 02/04/06.

Arenal Sound promoters buy Benicàssim International Festival
PROMOTERS of the huge Arenal Sound Festival in Burriana (Castellón province) have bought the rights to its famous neighbour, the Benicàssim International Festival (FIB) and pledged to turn it into an 'internationally-recognised brand'.
Arguably, the FIB already is internationally-recognised – it is often referred to outside of Spain as 'Glastonbury without the mud', and the last few editions of the festival – since 2013 - have been organised by the director of its UK counterpart, Melvin Benn.
The Music Republic says it wants to keep the 'essence' of Benicàssim Festival, but to 'improve the quality of every detail' overall and keep attracting top global acts for its stages.
Brothers David and Toño Sánchez, who own The Music Republic, attended the festival this year – which was between Friday and Monday (July 18 to 22) – and chatted to representatives in the VIP zone as well as joining in with the audience at several of the concerts, taking photographs and making videos.
This year's Benicàssim International Festival (pictured above left) was down by around 50,000 spectators, from 160,000 in 2018 to 114,000 in 2019.
Melvin Benn was only seen briefly in the VIP zone on Saturday morning, was described as wearing 'a serious expression' and did not take part in the traditional Sunday press conference, which – for the first year ever – was not held.
This led to rumours circulating among the dozen or so reporters on site who were covering the festival that changes were afoot.
News of The Music Republic's possibly buying up the FIB began to pass along the grapevine within hours of the event's concluding for the year.
The Music Republic has over 10 years' experience in managing events of every size, including national and international tours for artists at every level, and some of the biggest music festivals in Spain – Viña Rock, Granada Sound, Interestelar Sevilla, Madrid Salvaje, and the Festival de les Arts.
Benicàssim International Festival has been a major fixture of summer on Spain's east coast since its launch in 1995, and this year's was the 25th edition, although its quarter-century anniversary will be in July 2020.

The Physical Education program enables all students from P-6 to regularly engage in physical activity. The focus of the program is to motivate and encourage students to lead a healthy and active lifestyle whilst developing a range of fundamental motor skills. The students participate in different activities allowing them to gain the confidence they need in order to succeed. All students attend a specialist PE lesson once a week to refine and develop their skills through a wide range of sports and games.
The swimming and water safety program is run at Haileybury College indoor heated pool. Students from P-6 participate in an eight lesson program with qualified instructors. They develop their skills starting from beginner water familiarisation progressing through to more proficient stroke development. Each student is placed in an appropriate skill level group to complete their program.
Chandler Park Primary School is able to offer students a wide range of sporting facilities. The most recent addition is the brand new gymnasium housing a full sized indoor basketball court and changing facilities. A running track, soccer field and netball courts are utilised by all students during Physical Education lessons and at playtimes. The school grounds also include a grass oval, bat tennis courts and adventure playgrounds.
Students are offered the chance to attend Phillip Island Adventure Resort camp during their middle and senior years at Chandler Park. They stay in motel style accommodation and receive instruction in a range of outdoor activities. The focus of the camp is to work together in groups, develop confidence and become more independent. Selected students in grade 5/6 are also invited to attend Somers School Camp for a nine day program. This is a unique experience as they attend the camp with children from other schools in our local area. They create new friendships which can last a lifetime. The wide range of activities include rock climbing, surfing, bush cooking, the giant swing, ropes courses and many more.
Chandler Park is a member of School Sport Victoria and students compete against other primary schools in the Noble Park Sport Association. During term 1 the grade 5/6 children are offered bat tennis, kanga cricket, basketball, volleyball and softball in a weekly competition. The senior students also have opportunities to contest events in athletics carnivals, cross country runs and are able to progress through to regional and state competitions.
Congratulations to all the students that ran on the day and the parents that attended in not so perfect conditions. Well done the grade 2 girls in particular who were unlucky enough to catch a shower or two. It was great to see the grade 6 students out there marshaling the course cheering and giving encouragement. A number of grade 6 students ran with the junior school children which was appreciated.
There were some particularly impressive individual efforts. Children received their certificates and ribbons at a Junior school Assembly.
Well done to all the students who qualified and we wish you all the best for district cross country at Tatterson Park.

Zak Bagans hosts a candlelight vigil at Haunted Museum — VIDEO
Zak Bagans, the host of the Travel Channel paranormal series "Ghost Adventurers," had planned to open his Haunted Museum on Monday afternoon, but delayed a day to swiftly assemble Tuesday's vigil.

Zak Bagans' entertainment fortress, the Haunted Museum, is on East Charleston Boulevard, just east of Las Vegas Boulevard. But he lives in The Ridges in Summerlin, where he says, "I have a great view of Mandalay Bay."
For Bagans, Sunday's Route 91 shooting hit close to home.
"It was hard, very, very hard, to hear that happening on your home turf," Bagans said Tuesday night before hosting a candlelight vigil near the entrance of his new museum. "People don't understand that Las Vegas is such a small community, beyond the tourists who visit here. If you've lived here for a long time, you know everybody.
"Knowing friends who were there, and friends of friends who were injured and those who lost their lives, that's going to stay with us for a long time."
Bagans, the host of the Travel Channel paranormal series "Ghost Adventurers," had planned to open his Haunted Museum on Monday afternoon, but delayed a day to swiftly assemble Tuesday's vigil. About 80 people showed up to mourn and take in a few words by Bagans and Father Dave Casaleggio, known around Las Vegas as "Father Dave," who presided over the event.
"Let's take this opportunity to be as good a person as we can be, to help others and be of service," the priest said near the conclusion of the event. "Let's do that in honor of the victims of this tragedy."
A teenage couple, Jacob Montano and Ciarra Sanders, held candles and long-stemmed white carnations given to all who attended the vigil. They were not at the festival Sunday, but were at nearby T-Mobile Arena for the Vegas Golden Knights' preseason game against the San Jose Sharks.
"We're here to pay our respects," said Montano, wearing a Vegas Golden Knights hoodie. Sanders added, "We're here to show we're thankful for what we have, and to be reminded that life is a gift."

The polyester is preferred rather when it is cold and to avoid as much as possible, if 100% close to the body as little skin-friendly (rough to touch). Furthermore it retains perspiration odors. As against it is lighter than Polyamide.


The latest spat over the accuracy of television ratings should not be dismissed as just another round of posturing among symbiotic elements of the advertising industry. The rift marks no less than the collapse of the ''social contract'' that for decades bound the networks, advertisers, agencies and, ex officio, the viewers they buy and sell.
Shaken by reports of steady declines in viewership, the networks, led by NBC, have announced that they will no longer be captives of the traditional ratings system. To the chagrin of ad agencies, the networks now will adjust the ratings - using past viewing patterns - in an attempt to maintain prices and profit margins. No longer, they say, will they guarantee an advertiser the size of next season's (presumably smaller) audiences based on last season's (apparently bigger) ratings.
Networks struggle to be No. 1 in audience rankings that often fluctuate within a range that statisticians call the error margin. ''Victories'' in the ratings provide strong psychological selling tools, even when they are of no statistical significance, which means they probably are not real.
Networks use programming to attract viewers, harvest them, then sell them to advertisers. In the absence of an accepted scale for weighing that television harvest, some see an acceleration in the redistribution of hundreds of millions of advertising dollars annually to competitors like cable television.
Finally the networks are determined to take greater control of their destiny even when it means discomfiting customers. But how will they change things?
The networks were long content with a single national audience measurement service, the A. C. Nielsen Company. Although buyer and seller alike knew they would occasionally be whip-lashed by the vagaries of the scientific and practical limitations of the single-vendor approach, the convenience and lower cost of one service were seductive. Only upstart competitors like cable agitated for better measures.
Now both networks and agencies are paying the price of uncertainty. They will also pay the price of better measures. The temptation will be to use the British firm AGB Research as a stalking horse to prompt modest improvements by Nielsen.
* Mechanics. Consider paying for two competing ratings services to insure timely advances in measurement technology, and to bracket the ratings for disputed programs and audience segments. Magazines, once stung by the vacillations of a single audience measurement, have long supported two research sources. Although the tandem ratings rarely match and are sometimes wildly different, they provide a reasonable basis for judging how to spend an advertiser's dollar.
* Strategy. Nurture distinctive programming to differentiate networks from competitors in the mind of the public. The devaluation of the network minute makes it cheaper to experiment, and the shrinking network audience makes risk-taking more important. Now is also the time to tolerate compelling shows with smaller followings.
* Mission. The networks need to remember that, programming aside, they are simply brokers for the buying and selling of viewers.
To fulfill that role, the networks must maintain a marketplace that is efficient and credible. And that requires reliable ratings, just as Wall Street requires an accurate ticker.

Anamorf breedbeeld is een manier om video in breedbeeld-formaat zonder horizontale zwarte balken op een beelddrager op te slaan. Op deze manier kan de gehele resolutie gebruikt worden voor het eigenlijke beeld, resulterend in een betere beeldkwaliteit. Als een breedbeeldvideo op een niet-anamorfe manier op een smalbeeld-medium wordt opgeslagen, wordt een deel van de beschikbare resolutie gebruikt voor zwarte balken (letterbox). Aangezien een breedbeeldtelevisie deze zwarte letterbox-balken verbergt, gaat daardoor een deel van de resolutie (en in sommige gevallen zelfs de ondertiteling) verloren.

Anamorf breedbeeld wordt dikwijls ten onrechte gebruikt als synoniem van de 2.40:1-SMPTE-standaardbeeldverhouding. Anamorf breedbeeld heeft echter niets te maken met de beeldverhouding an sich, een anamorfe beelddrager kan evengoed de 16:9-beeldverhouding hebben.

Verhoudingen
12:9 Optisch Anamorf is een breedbeeldverhouding (links & rechts) ingedeukt tot 12:9.

Als een breedbeeld-beeld 12:9 Optisch Anamorf op een digitaal medium wordt opgeslagen, kan de beschikbare resolutie naar de correcte breedbeeldverhouding worden:
 "geplet" (boven & onder) geeft 4:3 Letterbox (betere beeldkwaliteit)
 "uitgedeukt" (links & rechts) geeft 16:9 Full Frame/16:9 Letterbox (betere beeldkwaliteit)

4:3 Elektronisch Anamorf is een breedbeeldverhouding (boven & onder) uitgerekt tot 4:3.

Als een breedbeeld-beeld 4:3 Elektronisch Anamorf op een digitaal medium wordt opgeslagen, kan de beschikbare resolutie naar de correcte breedbeeldverhouding worden:
 "geplet" (boven & onder) geeft 4:3 Letterbox (betere beeldkwaliteit)
 "uitgerekt" (links & rechts) geeft 16:9 Full Frame/16:9 Letterbox (slechtere beeldkwaliteit)
