Dreamstate SoCal Charmed Trance Enthusiasts with Another Successful Edition

Dreamstate SoCal was an overall hit for its seventh edition, with an uplifting atmosphere, mystifying stages, and enchanting music.
As North America's largest trance festival, Dreamstate SoCal delivers year after year with a stacked lineup, multiple immersive stages, radiant performers, and a sea of attendees who further make the experience worthwhile. The trance community is surely alive and well as the festival draws in fans of all ages year after year, with some coming out of rave "retirement" to make the trek to their favorite festival. No matter who you come across at Dreamstate, everyone is truly there for the love of the same music, making the vibes of this festival some of the best of any show.
Featuring a selection of the scene's most prominent artists and rising talent, Dreamstate's musical curation was a success across all stages during its return to the NOS Events Center November 18-19. Mainstage mavens like Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren, and Audien enchanted all who stepped foot in The Dream. The Vision uplifted attendees into a pure state of trance with music from Solarstone, Paul Oakenfold, and Bryan Kearney.

There was never a "bad" place to spend your time at Dreamstate, as various genres were bumping at all stages. Those looking to kick their trance experience up a notch could step into the psytrance realm at The Sequence, featuring music from artists like Blastoyz, Vini Vici, and WHITENO1SE. In contrast, progressive sounds and hard trance could be found at The Void through David Forbes, Renegade System, Taylor Torrence, and more.
Dreamstate SoCal welcomed returning artists to the bill and newcomers making their US debuts, like Rinaly and 8Kays.
Arriving Friday night and making my way quickly through security, I found myself heading toward The Void to catch Ukrainian 8Kays in her U.S. debut. She was a real treat and captivated the crowd during her whole set, playing progressive tracks like "Dance With Me" with Kevin de Vries. The Void itself this year was a major upgrade with a new location, larger stage design, and top-tier sound that didn't overlap with the other stages. Near the end of 8Kays, I made my way over to The Dream to catch part of Matt Fax's performance, who also entranced the crowd as people from all over were drawn into his set. I noticed that the mainstage design was a bit scaled back and shorter compared to previous years, like in 2019, when it featured multiple tall structures that resembled a cathedral.
One disappointment this year was the removal of the shuttles that would take attendees from the Carousel Mall parking lot to the venue. It was at least a 20-minute walk from the green baseball lot, where I parked, to the NOS Events Center, and the walk back after the show can be especially tedious when you're drained from a night of partying. There was a premier parking option that ran around $40 a night; however, this sold out ahead of the second day when my group considered purchasing it. Next year, it would be nice to see the shuttles reinstated as they were a reasonably quick, seamless, and complimentary ride to and from the venue, adding a thoughtful touch for attendees opting to drive to the show.

While the foundation of Dreamstate is trance, progressive and techno were on full display during the weekend too.
I mainly spent the rest of night one at The Dream, catching artists like Giuseppe Ottaviani, who incorporated many techno elements into his set, and Elysian, who elevated my soul into a blissful state of trance. Techno and hard trance were heavily infused into the entirety of Dreamstate SoCal this year, further expanding on the genres we can expect to see at the festival. Ben Nicky wreaked "Emotional Havoc" during his performance, playing out tracks like "We Come 1" with Distorted Dreams and a hard trance rendition of Ian van Dahl and Marsha's iconic classic "Castles In The Sky."
Ferry Corsten and Paul van Dyk also displayed the evolution of their sound during their Dreamstate SoCal performances; Ferry opted for a selection of progressive tracks and melodic techno, while Paul delved deeper into the trance realm. While some may be critical of artists heading in a new direction with their sound or experimenting with different tastes, I think it's exciting to see the progression of an artist's repertoire and the change that ensues over time as different trends emerge in the scene.

Positive vibes ran rampant throughout the weekend, with trance lovers uniting to celebrate their passion for the genre.
I had the pleasure of meeting ravers from all generations and walks of life, including those who had flown in from places around the world and those who had attended events way longer than I have. I struck up a wonderful conversation with a group of ravers older than me in their 40s who were wearing the same furry, checkered jacket as me, discovering that they've attended EDC and Dreamstate in their early years and have been going ever since. It was amazing to chat with them and learn what the scene means to them and their love for trance.
The entirety of Dreamstate SoCal for me this year was mainly spent in the VIP area at The Dream. This was my first time experiencing VIP at the festival, and I was stoked to check it out finally. Accessing the front of the stage was convenient, and the area was generally not overcrowded, with a good amount of dancing room. There were also elevated viewing platforms to provide the perfect line of sight over the crowd.
I wish there were more space heaters throughout VIP and the venue in general, though. I don't recall seeing any, and there definitely should have been more, as temperatures dipped pretty low during the festival. I was also disappointed not to see any hot chocolate in VIP this year, as I remember my friends who have attended in past years raving about this yummy amenity. Other inclusions like a hair braiding and makeup station, kandi making station, exclusive food trucks, bars, restrooms, photo ops, and water stations elevated the experience and made the area your one-stop shop for the entire evening if you decided to.
The trance excitement continued into day two, with another day full of mind-blowing sets and overwhelming positivity.
Trance legend ATB soothed our souls and had us dancing our hearts out as he played a solid selection of classic tracks like his "Ecstasy" with newer releases like "Starlight (Keep Me Afloat)" from Martin Garrix, DubVision, and Shaun Farrugia. He even mixed in some techno, like Charlotte de Witte and Enrico Sangiuliano's remix of "The Age Of Love." I was captivated by his energy onstage, and he had the crowd moving along to his electric state. ATB played many beloved classic trance songs, even taking us back to 1997 as he closed out his set with the original version of "9pm (Till I Come)."
Audien's trance set was a fun treat. He played a variety of genres from progressive house to progressive trance, including crowd favorite "Pompeii," his remix of Bastille's renowned release. Making his way to the decks next was Armin van Buuren, who took us full steam ahead as the sound immediately got louder and pulsated throughout the stage. He electrified the room, incorporating hard, jaw-dropping releases like Avao's "Text Me" and Will Sparks' "Hard," and ending with hardstyle via Brennan Heart and Toneshifterz' remix of his "Blah Blah Blah" to create a truly unique, genre-transcending performance.
A mind-slaying set from Abraxis took us home and ended the night on the best note possible. Comprised of Seven Lions and Dimibo, Abraxis' dynamic performances are always special as we journey through layers of psytrance. I had a good laugh while watching all three members of the Abraxis Institute hyping each other up onstage; Seven Lions playing the air guitar in a white coat while Dimibo clapped and cheered him on will forever be etched in my mind.
Memories were made, bonds were strengthened, and friendships were created this year at Dreamstate SoCal.
Every year, I look forward to celebrating the music and meeting the people of Dreamstate and trance enthusiasts from around the globe and from all walks of life. While I am only a few years into the trance scene, I come back to Dreamstate every year with more knowledge and sets to look forward to, and I leave with a larger appreciation for the scene. Here's to another successful Dreamstate SoCal, and I can't wait to make my return next year.

Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment enjoyed a thunderous opening for its new super hero epic Wonder Woman which captured the number one spot with an estimated $100.5M grossing more than all other films in the marketplace combined. The PG-13 pic averaged a stellar $24,131 from 4,165 theaters and delivered the third biggest opening weekend of 2017 after Beauty and the Beast's $174.8M and the $146.5M of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Super hero origin story films usually do not reach this height at the box office. Last November's Doctor Strange bowed to $85.1M while the first Captain America and Thor movies debuted to just over $65M each in 2011. Based on a character that is more of a household name, Wonder Woman had broader appeal and also excited female audiences more than most films of this genre have. In fact, studio data showed that women were the dominant group making up 52% of the crowd. Normally a comic book movie would skew around 60% male. Diana's performance was more like 2008's Iron Man (also a well-reviewed origin story for a well-known comic brand) which banked $102.1M in its first weekend including pre-shows.
Anticipation for this film kicked off last year with Gal Gadot's debut of the role in Batman v Superman. Many said Wonder Woman was the best part of that super hero smackdown. The Warner Bros. marketing push was terrific and exceptional reviews from critics boosted consumer interest. Ticket buyers have been very pleased with what they got with the CinemaScore grade being a solid A. The Patty Jenkins film also posted the biggest debut of all-time for a female-directed movie.
The sturdy opening weekend kicked off with a $38.8M Friday including $11M from Thursday night pre-shows beginning at 7pm. Saturday slipped a reasonable 8% to $35.8M. GOTG2 had the same Saturday slide. Sunday is projected by the studio to decline by 28% to about $25.9M. $9M of the weekend take came from the 343 IMAX screens and there was more from other premium formats including the 4DX experience.
Wonder Woman also took off overseas with an international debut of $122.5M resulting in a hefty global opening weekend of $223M. China led international markets with a 3-day start of $38M while Korea, Mexico, and Brazil followed with $8-9M a piece. France, Germany and Spain open later this month while Japan gets the comic hit in August. Breaking $700M worldwide seems likely and reaching $800M is a possibility as well for the tentpole which reportedly cost about $150M to produce.
The DreamWorks Animation comedy Captain Underpants debuted in second place with an estimated $23.5M from 3,434 locations for a $6,843 average. Across 22 films over the past decade, the only one from the toon studio to open lower was Turbo's $21.3M in 2013. However, Underpants was produced at a significantly lower cost so it aims to follow an easier road to profitability when all revenue streams are counted. Featuring the voices of Kevin Hart and Ed Helms, the PG-rated film drew an audience that was 54% male and 65% under 25. Reviews were good for Fox and the CinemaScore grade was a B+.
Audiences abandoned Johnny Depp's ship as his latest tentpole Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men tell No Tales plunged 66% in its second weekend of play to an estimated $21.6M for third place. Disney has banked $114.6M which is 25% behind the pace of the last film in the franchise, 2011's On Stranger Tides. A $150M domestic final may result which would be the worst for the five-film series. But overseas is where it's at for this property. International markets grossed another $73.8M this weekend for a new offshore cume of $386.6M for a global tally of $501.2M. China, where Pirates had its star-studded world premiere, is the top-grossing territory globally with $142.6M.
The Mouse House also landed in fourth with the well-liked Marvel super hero sequel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 which took in an estimated $9.7M, sliding 53%. New totals are $355.5M domestic (number 38 all-time) and $816.6M worldwide.
Posting a sophomore decline of 54% was the action-comedy Baywatch which collected an estimated $8.5M for a cume of $41.7M for Paramount. Fox's sci-fi sequel Alien: Covenant fell 62% to an estimated $4M giving the space horror saga $67.2M to date with the global tally now at $173.8M.
The teen romance Everything, Everything posted the best hold in the top ten – with the only dip below 50% – with a 45% decline to an estimated $3.3M for $28.3M overall for Warner Bros. The comedy Snatched took in an estimated $1.3M, down 66%, leaving Fox at $43.9M.
Tumbling 73% due to the new options for kids this weekend was Diary of a Wimpy Kid with an estimated $1.2M. Fox's sum is just $17.8M. King Arthur dropped 65% to an estimated $1.2M leading to a weak new total of $37.2M for Warner Bros.


I'm not a die-hard fan of the Las Vegas lifestyle, but it's difficult not to find Vegas at least somewhat alluring – so I put together a list of random Las Vegas highlights, from restaurants to pool, to start the ideas flowing for your Las Vegas bucket list.
Yes, I'm seriously singling out a shopping area as one of the top item on a Las Vegas bucket list! It's easy to forget, with all the focus on the resorts and their casinos, that Vegas is packed with the best and most extravagant versions of everything from bars and restaurants to pools and spas. The same is true of shopping, and the Shops At Crystals – a gorgeous-looking complex attached to the relatively new ARIA resort – is particularly impressive. The array of shops there is a little bit high-end, of course, but even just for browsing it looks like one of the city's more interesting attractions.
I know, I know, it's the most touristy thing you could possibly look forward to in Las Vegas (and that's saying something). But even if you weren't interested in the Bellagio fountain show simply from a tourism perspective, how can you not be charmed by that iconic scene toward the end of Ocean's 11? You know, the one in which Brad Pitt and the gang stand and watch the fountains marveling at how cool they are before melting off into the night in their own directions? I'll be honest – that scene is enough for me to want to do the same thing.
Seven Magic Mountains is a large-scale public art installation located near Jean Dry Lake and Interstate 15, approximately ten miles south of Vegas. Comprised of seven towers of colorful, stacked boulders standing more than thirty feet high, Seven Magic Mountains is a creative expression of human presence in the desert. The exhibition opened May 11, 2016 and will be on view for two years so cross it off your Las Vegas bucket list before it's gone.
I'm actually of the camp that thought live casinos were more or less things of the past. I assume a lot of people just play alongside "real" dealers online, without ever leaving home or watch professional players on tv from a bar. I have to assume Vegas is Vegas for a reason, though, and the casino floors are unquestionably the main attractions. The MGM Grand's casino floor sounds a little bit more accessible than some of the others, so it's the one I'd aim to see (and perhaps play a few cheap games).
There is a casual, fun-filled way to do Las Vegas, focusing on unique meals, exciting resorts, daytime attractions, and bizarre shows, instead of looking at the club and casino scene, which is why I prioritized the roller coaster at New York, New York. It's fun zipping through a towering city of skyscrapers and it gets your adrenaline pumping for the rest of your Las Vegas bucket list.
If you actually look at Vegas's best pools, you'll find a lot of talk about pools that basically double as party venues. All of Vegas is a party to some extent, but for a family-geared vacation, or just for some fun relaxation, I'm drawn more to Mandalay Bay. The resort does have "club" style pool, but it's also home to what amounts to a giant artificial beach (complete with wave pool). It just looks a little more innocent and fun.
There are about a thousand restaurants in Las Vegas that sound good when you read up on them (only a slight exaggeration). But, if you've ever seen any of Gordon Ramsay's cooking shows, you're probably like me: dying to try some of his legendary beef wellington! Yes, Ramsay is a little bit off the wall, but he's also one of the most successful and qualified chefs on the planet, and eating at his signature Vegas establishment sounds bucket list worthy.
Have you ever stood in the window of a massively tall building and looked down only to worry about the horrific fall if something were to go wrong? The Stratosphere Las Vegas Hotel & Casino brings those nightmarish thoughts to reality and puts the Sky Jump on our Las Vegas bucket list. Atop the 1,149-foot-tall Stratosphere is a controlled free fall Sky Jump similar to base-jumping.
What's on your Las Vegas bucket list? Do you prefer the extremes like jumping off of buildings and riding roller coasters or more casual Vegas experiences like dining and relaxing at a pool? Whatever you tastes, you're sure to find it in Vegas.

Thomas House launches music series
Weekly event will promote Wisconsin singer-songwriters
Thomas House launches music series Weekly event will promote Wisconsin singer-songwriters Check out this story on marshfieldnewsherald.com: http://mnhne.ws/1zBJRPO

MARSHFIELD –
A new live music series focused on singer-songwriters from Wisconsin is coming to the lower level of the Thomas House starting Thursday.
The eight-week series is hoping to develop a listening room atmosphere and provide a new opportunity for local artists to perform and talk about their songs.
The series will have an initial eight-week run, with a featured artist performing between 7 p.m and 9 p.m. each Thursday with an open mic opportunity following.
"This is going to be taking musicians from Wisconsin, because we have a lot of talent," said Lyman Smith, co-owner of the Thomas House. "We had an open mic night this summer, and I was amazed at the amount of talent. There were 20-year-olds, college kids who had never played in front of an audience before and blowing us away."
Smith has been working with Galynne Riggenbach, a Wisconsin Rapids-based musician, for the past couple of months on developing the listening room series and lining up local musicians to perform each week.
The opportunity to transform the basement of the Thomas House into something different arose last winter when the Thomas House Center for History relocated to the lower level of the Marshfield Public Library.
Riggenbach will host the series, performing and introducing that week's featured artist.
"Everyone I've contacted are people that I know, had have played with before," she said. "They are very excited. They are musicians looking for a venue where they can talk about their music, sing their songs, and talk about the stories behind their songs."
Riggenbach said she hopes people will come and view the series as more than just background music, taking an interest in hearing the stories the artists are telling.
"We're going to try and provide a listening room environment where we encourage people to sit back and enjoy the show, and hear what the songwriters are singing and talking about," she said.
The series is currently scheduled to run through Feb. 26, but if it becomes successful, it could be extended an additional four to eight weeks.
In some ways, the listening room series is an extension of the musicians Thomas House has hosted on the patio throughout the summer, Smith said.
"We want it to be something unique and support the musicians, giving them a venue to express themselves. Ultimately the people who come will define the space," Smith said. "In the spring we will move back out to the patio."
Logan T. Carlson can be reached at 715-384-3131, ext. 328.
What: Thomas House presents The Listening Room Series
Who: Local musicians from Wisconsin
Where: Lower level of the Thomas House, 103 S. Central Ave., Marshfield
When: Every Thursday between Jan. 8 and Feb. 26. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the show starting at 7 p.m.
Cost: There is no cover charge, but donations to artists performing are encouraged.

Life on a mission during the Covid-19 pandemic: What is it like in Iraq?
Even before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, Iraq was struggling with the consequences of many years of armed conflict. Millions of Iraqis have had to flee their homes because of the fighting, and hundreds of thousands are still internally displaced across Iraq. Those who have returned to their homes often do not have access to basic services and have difficulty finding a source of livelihood. The coronavirus pandemic has further exacerbated the crisis, affecting many Iraqis who have had to close their businesses or lost their jobs.
Life on a mission during the Covid-19 pandemic: What is it like in Zambia?
In Zambia, the coronavirus outbreak was slower compared to Europe. However, at the same time, there was very little testing at the beginning which meant the numbers did not match the reality. Anyway, Zambia introduced strict measures last March to prevent the spread of the virus. The country is currently preparing to start the vaccination process.

Wabtec Freight
As of 2019, Wabtec Freight will produce what was formerly GE Transportation's successful line of diesel locomotives. In November, 2017 General Electric first reported its plan to spin off this successful subsidiary. It became official in a press release made public at 7 AM on May 21, 2018 when Wabtec Corporation and GE Transportation announced their merger intentions. The marriage took place on February 25, 2019. The new company will keep its headquarters in Chicago, and manufacture more than just locomotives. Their products will now include locomotive parts, mining equipment, heavy-duty diesel engines, railroad components, information services, and transit systems. At this time, the former GE plants in Erie, Pennsylvania (original) and its newer facility in Fort Worth, Texas will remain open. How long this setup continues, however, is unknown. The union is interesting as both GE and Wabtec have a long, competitive history. The latter was originally the Westinghouse Brake Company, formed in 1869 by George Westinghouse (Wabtec is an acronym for Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation), inventor of the automatic air brake, which remains one of the railroad industry's most important safety devices. In later years GE and Westinghouse became major competitors in the production of electric locomotives; the former would partner with American Locomotive while the latter teamed up with the Baldwin Locomotive Works. The information here offers a brief history of General Electric's locomotive production as well as the new company.
General Electric is one of the world's best recognized companies. It was formed on April 15, 1892 by Thomas Edison, Charles A. Coffin, Elihu Thomson, Edwin J. Houston, and J. P. Morgan. From its earliest days GE was involved in the railroad industry. It all began with the electric locomotive's emergence. Their introduction was made possible by Zenobe Gramme's generator, unveiled in 1870, which jump-started electrification in main line applications. The first full-scale examples could be traced back to Werner Von Siemens' 1879 demonstrations in Berlin, Germany. However, according to the book, "The Electric Interurban Railways In America," by authors Dr. George Hilton and John Due, their genesis is also credited to Thomas Davenport, a Vermont blacksmith. In 1835 he demonstrated an electrically propelled toy train in Boston and Springfield, Massachusetts. Brian Solomon notes in his book, "GE Locomotives: 110 Years Of General Electric Motive Power," Thomas Edison began experimenting with electrification as early as 1880. That year, he tested an electric locomotive, powered by a dynamo, on a 2.25-mile stretch of track in Menlo Park, New Jersey. However, he never attempted to market his concept.
As Peter Hain points out in his book, "Frank K. Hain And The Manhattan Railway Company: The Elevated Railway, 1875-1903," Frank Sprague is recognized as the father of electric traction. After a great deal of perseverance, he eventually secured a contract in May of 1887 with Virginia's Richmond Union Passenger Railway to provide cars for its operation. It opened on February 2, 1888 and proved successful. This gave way to the typical streetcar which became so common throughout America. In 1898 there were some 850 electrified streetcar systems in operation and by 1901, 3,122 miles of interurbans could be found in service (these rapid transit systems competed with traditional railroads for passenger traffic [and some freight] between intermediate points). In his book, "Electric Locomotives," historian Brian Solomon points out the first known use of a "heavy rail" electric locomotive took place in 1893 when General Electric manufactured a small, 30-ton machine featuring two axles. A year later it built another which utilized a pair of trucks and nose-suspended traction motors. This particular example was classified as the Type 404-E70-4 LWP 20-500 Volts. It was built for the Cayadutta Railway and enjoyed a long career serving a cotton mill in Taftville, Connecticut until 1964.
Main line electrics did not appear until 1895 when the Baltimore & Ohio opened a stretch of energized territory in Baltimore for smoke abatement. Known as the Baltimore Belt Railroad (or "Belt Line"), this new corridor included the 1.25-mile Howard Street Tunnel. Once again, GE was involved. Its first examples were three steeple cab designs listed as Class LE-1. During the course of its operational history (which ended in 1952), the B&O wound up with numerous electrics in a variety of classes including LE-2 (1903-1906), OE-1 (1910), OE-2 (1912), OE-3 (1923), and OE-4 (1923). By the early 20th century, GE had established itself as a leader in electric propulsion technology, thanks to its partnership with the American Locomotive Company. The latter was formed in 1901 through the merger of several small steam locomotive manufacturers and would eventually place its primary production facility in Schenectady, New York, not far from GE's own plant. The two companies began working closely in electric locomotive construction, particularly in an effort to compete against the Baldwin/Westinghouse tandem. Some of GE's early noteworthy models included the following New York Central designs: S Class (S-1 through S-3), T Class (the so-called "T" motors carried a B-B+B-B wheel arrangement), R Class (R-1's featured a B-B wheel arrangement while the R-2's a C-C) that served its Detroit River Tunnel trackage, and finally the Class P's found at Cleveland Union Terminal. (These featured a 2-C+C-2 wheel arrangement; after electrified operations were discontinued here in the 1950s, the P's were transferred to Grand Central Terminal. They were subsequently reequipped for third-rail operation and dubbed Class P-2a/P-2b.)
In many ways the original S-1, of which #6000 (first classified as 'L' and later 'T ' before the railroad settled on its final designation) was the only unit, paved the way for modern electric propulsion in main line applications. While the locomotive was largely designed by General Electric's Asa Batchelelder, he equipped it with Frank Sprague's multiple-unit (MU) control system. This device, designed in 1897 and first applied to #6000, allowed engineers at the head-end to control every additional locomotive in the train. In modern diesel electric locomotives, it remains a commonly used tool. Other significant GE designs included Milwaukee Road's EP-2 "Bi-Polars," Great Northern's Cascade Tunnel electrification, Pennsylvania Railroad's famous GG-1 streamlined motors, Virginian Railway's late-era electrics, and various types utilized by the New York, New Haven & Hartford. The switch to diesel electrics was a natural outgrowth of the electric locomotive movement. GE was also at the forefront of this technology (whereby the power plant, a diesel engine, was housed internally to drive electric traction motors instead of the locomotive acquiring its power from outside sources) although it did not directly enter the market until 1960.
In his book, "Vintage Diesel Locomotives," author Mike Schafer notes GE earned distinction as helping design America's first commercial diesel locomotive, Jay Street Connecting #4, manufactured in October, 1918. It carried a B-B wheel arrangement and produced 225 horsepower utilizing a V-8 diesel engine. Several were built, in conjunction with American Locomotive and Ingersoll-Rand, although most were not considered a great success. Jerry A. Pinkepank points out in his book, "Diesel Spotter's Guide," GE saw more sales with a line of 300 hp and 600 hp switchers manufactured between 1925 and 1928 (also produced alongside Alco/Ingersoll-Rand). The first was a 60-ton, 300 horsepower boxcab variant, produced as a test-bed demonstrator in 1924. It operated on the following railroads; New York Central, Baltimore & Ohio, Central Railroad Of New Jersey, New Haven, Union Freight Railroad, Boston & Maine, Long Island Rail Road, Bethlehem Steel, Reading, Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, Hoboken Shore, New Jersey Zinc Company, and Alan Wood Iron & Steel Company.

Afterwards, GE continued building diesels although beyond 1928 elected to manufacture the carbodies itself, taking over those duties from Alco. During the 1930's and 1940's, GE produced a particularly successful line of switchers, notably the 44-ton model, that saw widespread use in industrial and light branch line service. In 1940 it again worked with Alco to catalog a series of road-switcher, switchers, and cab designs for main line applications which would compete against the market's future leader, Electro-Motive. These included the DL series, RS series, S series, PA, and FA. The locomotives were primarily produced by Alco, which manufactured the engines and carbodies while GE supplied the traction motors, traction generator, and turbocharger. As GE sensed Alco would not gain ground on Electro-Motive, it branched out on its own, unveiling its first test-bed road-switcher in 1956, the UD18. Featuring a high, short hood this model never went into full-scale production but did pave the way for GE's first cataloged design, the U25B in 1960. Formally known as the Universal line (nicknamed "U-boats"), the locomotives were not particularly reliable, or popular with crews. In addition, railroads often purchased them only to save money or avoid EMD's order backlog. GE persisted, however, and continued refining its product. By the late 1970's sales were rising and within a decade the company was offering a well-liked product (the Dash 7 and Dash 8 lines). In the 1980's, GE became the undisputed leader in locomotive production, eclipsing Electro-Motive after it faltered with its SD50 series. The decision by General Electric to spin-off its GE Transportation arm is interesting considering its market dominance. Perhaps it was the volatility as orders can sometimes be sporadic and unpredictable depending upon railroads' needs.
Westinghouse Air Brake, Wabtec
For Wabtec, the acquisition is a huge boon to a company which has also been successful in the industry, albeit largely unnoticed. It was formed on September 28, 1869 by George Westinghouse who set up his manufacturing facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Despite its immediate safety benefits and improved efficiency, many railroads refused to spend the necessary capital to equip the device on cars and locomotives. As a result, brakeman continued to be maimed or killed in the dangerous practice of tightening brake wheels by hand. As Jim Boyd notes in his book, "The American Freight Train," only the Railway Safety Appliance Act's passage by Congress in 1893 was it finally mandated on all equipment, along with the automatic knuckle coupler (also known as the Master Car Builders, or MCB, coupler). The Westinghouse Air Brake Company continued to produce air brakes until 2000. In 1999 it merged with MotivePower Industries Corporation forming the Wabtec Corporation. With the merger of GE Transportation, the new Wabtec Freight will be a major player in the industry for years to come. As it branches out into its own line of locomotives, independent of the GE name, the information here will be updated accordingly.

The vocal performances of 'powerhouse' singer Emeli Sande blew the audience away on her visit to Leicester.
Emeli Sande's pop, jazz and R'n'B influenced sound is a vehicle for a voice that rose from guest vocals for various artists to a superstar in her own right. Unsurprising as before she had released a debut album in 2012 she had already become a BRIT and MOBO award winner for her talent.
As part of her Real Life world tour, Emeli Sandé played at De Montfort Hall on Saturday night. She performed songs from her latest album Real Life alongside classics from her previous two albums, Our Version Of Events and Long Live The Angels.
Opening the show with Survivor her astonishingly good voice was immediately unleashed. "Oh, I feel limitless" she sang.
Survivor was followed by the well-known Heaven. The multi platinum singer showcased her powerhouse vocals. As part of the set, she also performed Wonder with an Afrobeat twist, the deeply personal Clown, and Next To Me before returning to the stage for an encore.

Hear a Rare First Recording of Janis Joplin's Hit "Me and Bobby McGee," Written by Kris Kristofferson
November 10, 2020 bizprat	0 Comments
"You can't think of that song without thinking of Janis," says Kris Kristofferson of Janis Joplin's raw, bittersweet, posthumous "Me and Bobby McGee." Kristofferson, who wrote the song, only heard Joplin's version after her death, when he returned to California after playing the Isle of Wight in 1970. He met the producer of Joplin's last album, Pearl, in L.A., who told him to come to the studio "to play me her recording of 'Bobby McGee.' And it just blew me away. Just blew me away." Above, you can hear a rare recording, possibly the first take, and possibly one of the early versions Kristofferson heard in the studio.
Many people have assumed Kristofferson wrote the song for Joplin, but that's not the case: he didn't know she was recording it at all. It was written, in 1969, about a woman, Barbara "Bobby" McKee, who worked as a secretary in songwriter Fred Foster's building. Foster gave Kristofferson the title "Me and Bobby McKee," Kristofferson misheard the last name, assumed it was a man, and wrote the famous lyrics, inspired not by Barbara but by Federico Fellini's La Strada, in which Anthony Quinn and Giulietta Masina travel together on a motorcycle as a performing duo. (The Louisiana references come in because Kristofferson was working as a helicopter pilot in the Gulf at the time.)
In La Strada, Quinn "got to the point where he couldn't put up with [Masina] anymore and left her by the side of the road while she was sleeping," says Kristofferson. Later, when he finds out she has died, he "goes to a bar and gets in a fight. He's drunk and ends up howling at the stars on the beach." In a parallel to this mournful scene, Tom Breihan at Stereogum describes how Kristofferson, after hearing Joplin's version of the song, "spent the rest of the day walking around Los Angeles, crying. He probably wasn't alone. A lot of people probably cried when they heard Joplin singing 'Me and Bobby McGee.'" A lot of people still do.
A long list of famous singers has covered the song, originally recorded by Roger Miller—just about anyone you might name in folk and country. But Joplin "made it her own," Kristofferson says, and it's no empty cliché. Written as a country song, Joplin doesn't quite sing it that way, and she "doesn't really sing it as blues or psychedelic rock either," writes Breihan. "Instead, she just lets it rip, her phrasing immediate and instinctive," howling at the stars like Anthony Quinn. "Joplin might've never hitchhiked across the country with anyone named Bobby McGee," but she "did what great interpreters do." She made the song "about Janis Joplin, because that's what Janis Joplin made it."

If your recipe calls for whole leaves instead of teaspoons of chopped sage, you can use the ratio 7 fresh sage leaves equal about 1 teaspoon of ground, dried sage. As mentioned earlier, these conversion ratios are just rules of thumb. Factors like differences in the size of sage leaves and the remaining shelf life of your packet of powdered sage can have a significant effect on the above formulas. Therefore, you should always let your taste buds confirm how much dried sage you should use in your recipe.
What to Do if You Have Neither Dried nor Fresh Sage?
The above tips helpful if you are in a situation where you don't have any fresh sage leaves at home but you have dried sage in a powdered or ground form. If you are in a situation where you have neither fresh nor dried sage, don't panic — there are plenty of culinary herbs that can be used as a substitute for fresh and dried sage in many recipes including meat dishes, salads and casseroles. Some of the best substitutes include rosemary, savory, thyme and marjoram. These herbs of course won't give your dish the original sage flavor, but they will lend their own exciting flavors to your dish.

Collection of collections letter template final notice that will perfectly match your requirements. When composing an official or organisation letter, presentation style and also format is crucial to making a good initial impression. These templates provide exceptional instances of just how to structure such a letter, and also include sample material to act as an overview of design.
Exactly how to begin a letter, what sort of letter you must compose, what letter style you should pick– everyone ought to recognize with these basics of letter creating. Below's the details you need to understand, along with some helpful examples.
There are no hard-and-fast regulations. What letter style you select depends upon your audience. For a good friend or close family member, a laid-back, transcribed message is typically the best method to go. Nevertheless, for business contacts or people you don't understand well, a keyed in official letter is almost always the most ideal option.
Official letters start with the sender's name and also address. Some companies use unique paper, called letterhead, that consists of get in touch with info.
The following line of an official letter and also the very first line of a casual letter is the day. Write it two lines after your address or at the top of a casual letter.
In addition, official letters need the name and also address of the recipient 2 spaces after the date. Incorporating all this details makes certain that your letter can be made use of as a referral to contact you after the recipient discards the envelope.
Ultimately, you're ready to welcome the person (or business) to whom you're composing. Miss a space from any kind of addresses you have actually consisted of. Casual letters are easy; you can begin with "Hey there" or one more popular welcoming. Formal letters begin with "Precious" followed by the name of the receiver. If you do not have a call at a specific company, search online for a name, a work title, or department. As an example, you may attempt "Precious Supervisor" or "Beloved Human Being Resources Division." As a last resource, utilize the common salutation "To Whom It May Concern." A comma follows all greetings.
The content of your letter will certainly vary, so let's concentrate on some basic standards.
Do … keep it focused. Company letters need to have a clear purpose. Also individual letters should not ramble. Proofread. Mistakes can create misconceptions.
Do not … use tightenings in official letters. And definitely avoid creating anything you'll be sorry for being recorded for posterity.
Leave an empty space in between your closing paragraph as well as the complimentary closing. A free close is a courteous method to send your regards to your receiver. Among the most usual closers is "Truly," and it's usually a sure thing. If you have a warmer partnership with the recipient, you can sign off with "Warm regards" or "Cordially." There are loads of options, so you'll need to do a little study to figure out which is best for you. Commas comply with all complimentary closings. Bear in mind, only the first letter of the expression is capitalized. Leave another couple of areas for the last action– your trademark! Type your full name beneath it in official letters.
P.S. represents postscript. It's something you include in the nick of time after the letter is full. Typically, you don't include postscripts to official letters; if you need to include something, you'll need to modify the whole record to consist of the new info.
P.S. Rob got the setting at Great Business! Many thanks for all the support during his joblessness.
In the USA, the optimum weight for an excellent letter is 3.5 ounces.

It needs to be rectangular as well as much less than roughly 6 × 11 inches or you risk of the post workplace returning it.
After you have actually established that the envelope is the right kind, the hardest component is over. Currently, you simply need to mail it. (If it's a personal letter, you can constantly provide it on your own. In that situation, simply write the intended recipient's name on the outside of the envelope. A bonus of hand-delivery?: You can use any type of dimension or form envelope that you want!) In the top left-hand edge, write your name and also address or affix a mailing tag. In the facility of the envelope, meticulously create the address of the recipient. Besides the state acronym and postal code, international letters should consist of the country for both the location and return address. Shipping rates differ. Check the USPS site for current rates or use a forever stamp for US locations. Double-check that everything is right on the outside of the envelope. If it is, fold your letter and also insert it inside nicely. Do not seal it up until you make sure that you've included every page you plan to send out.
Invest as much time hoping about it as you spend creating the letter.
Edit, after that modify, and after that edit once again. (Once again if needed.).
Compose with an end goal to profit the receiver as well as the overall situation in mind. (This need to eliminate some points you most likely should not say anyhow; and also you'll be a lot more Christ-like.).
Just as you ought to do in verbal interaction, don't attack the person; address the concern. Leave personal jabs out of the letter. Try not to begin a sentence with "you" or use the word "constantly". It puts people on the defensive. (This is what editing is all about.).
Try to share your true heart and also feelings, but restrict your anger emotion. Keep in mind, you are attempting to state those points, which for whatever reason, you aren't able to state properly in person. Don't shed your audience by "going off" on the individual.
The goal is not to be a martyr; nobody reacts well to that approach. The objective is to be transparent as well as interact efficiently.
See to it you dedicate as much and even more time concentrating on the part you have actually played in establishing a poor connection or circumstance. Take into consideration the other person's perspective. Put on your own in their shoes. Use the sandwich method. Beginning kindly, with poise, state your point, then close with compassion and grace– as long as you can. And also, if an apology is required from you, give it clearly as well as completely in the letter.
Be clear concerning the factors you are trying to convey. Read them back to on your own. This is just one of the best benefits of letter creating. You have the chance to plainly analyze your feedback; so don't shed your opportunity right here.
Before you send the letter, ask on your own: "Exactly how would I react if somebody sent this letter to me?".
If you aren't particular concerning the high quality of your letter, offer these directions and also the letter to another person (whom you trust fund) and ask to review it. Allow them inform you just how they would certainly respond if they obtained this letter.

Has 'Joker' Star Joaquin Phoenix Already Won an Oscar?
As anyone who follows the Academy Awards can attest, the Oscars have a tendency to reward a lot of the same talent. It's why certain actors and directors are frequently listed on the ballot. After all, how many times have you seen Meryl Streep nominated over the years? A record 21 times.
Joaquin Phoenix isn't anywhere near that astounding total, but the actor does consistently earn praise for his performances. Often, that attention from critics leads directly into awards buzz. So, as the star of the surprising Oscar frontrunner Joker gets ready for Oscar night, we're wondering: does Phoenix already have an Oscar?
Joaquin Phoenix's big breakthrough
Phoenix first appeared on-screen in the 1986 release SpaceCamp opposite Kate Capshaw and Lea Thompson. But the film's box office failure didn't do much to bolster the then-child star's career. Rather, 1989's Parenthood with Steve Martin served as Phoenix's first major Hollywood role.
For the next decade or so, he appeared in films like To Die For, 8mm, and The Yards, the last of which began a prosperous relationship with director James Gray. Yet, mainstream moviegoers didn't really take notice of Phoenix until Gladiator in 2000.
As the villainous Commodus in Ridley Scott's historical epic, Phoenix earned his first Academy Award nomination. Gladiator itself won five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor for star Russell Crowe. Although Phoenix didn't win Best Supporting Actor that night, he had officially arrived in the academy's eyes.
Congratulations to Joaquin Phoenix, nominated for Best Actor for #Joker. #OscarNoms
A post shared by Joker Movie (@jokermovie) on Jan 13, 2020 at 6:55am PST
A series of underrated performances
Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, Phoenix has delivered a string of critically acclaimed performances. Sometimes, these roles slipped beneath the academy's radar, as with Her, Inherent Vice, and You Were Never Really Here. The actor has always been drawn to films which seem too esoteric or inaccessible even for Oscar voters.
However, in some cases, Phoenix has managed to snag a slot in the Best Actor category. Following Gladiator, his next Oscar nomination came in 2006 for Walk the Line. Ironically, he lost the Oscar to Capote's Phillip Seymour Hoffman, alongside whom he would deliver his next Oscar-nominated performance in The Master.
In both cases, Phoenix went home empty-handed, leaving him a three-time nominee with zero wins. Throughout that time, the actor has become one of those performers who feels overdue for an Oscar win. Now, thanks to the most unlikely project, Phoenix may be well on his way to finally landing his first Academy Award.
Will 'Joker' finally get him an Oscar?
The notion of a standalone movie about DC Comics supervillain the Joker seemed laughable. After all, as fans protested, the mystery surrounding the character is what makes him work. Yet, all those worries dissolved when Phoenix was cast in the role. Now he's been Oscar-nominated for his performance.
As Arthur Fleck in Todd Phillips' Joker, the actor famously lost a ton of weight to climb inside the headspace of a mentally ill loner on a collision course with chaos. The film itself divided critics and fans. Despite a muddled reception from critics, Joker has soared to the top of the box office charts with $1.1 billion worldwide.
An R-rated comic book movie isn't what anyone expected might land Phoenix Oscar gold. However, his committed performance in Joker elevated the film in the eyes of its biggest critics. Right now, he's widely considered the frontrunner for the 2020 Best Actor trophy.
Phoenix's career has never followed a straight path. So, in that regard, perhaps it's fitting that Joker would be the film to get him on the Oscar stage. We'll find out soon enough if Phillips' film can finally make it happen.
The 92nd Academy Awards will air on ABC on Feb. 9, 2020.

Last Wednesday, October 1, 2014, I was able to get my hands on a BlackBerry Passport for a quick try at a demo booth at my workplace. Surprisingly, I liked the feel of the device in my hands even with its unusual dimensions of 5.04 x 3.56 x 0.36 inches and square touch display, which is wider than what other smartphones and phablets are today.
The keyboard size felt right and was easy to type on. Keyboard is a tad bit different from the original BlackBerry keyboards in their previous older phones, with the numeric, Alt, and Shift keys now found on-screen instead. The spacebar is also smaller now since it is squeezed in between the bottom row of letters. To get to the home screen, you would need to swipe up from the middle of the keyboard to the middle of the screen. This would take a little bit of getting used to. Once in the home screen, you can access the apps by swiping left on the screen.
I liked how websites looked on the web browser, definitely a huge improvement comparing to how it was on the older BlackBerry Curve or Bold for example. It displays the full desktop version of sites well. I can't give a comparison to the browser on the Z10 or Q30 however as I haven't personally tried them out myself on these. One nice thing to point out with using the browser on the Passport is that when you rotate the phone on its side, you can use the keyboard as a scroll bar, so that means you won't have to cover any part of the screen with your finger while scrolling.
The BlackBerry Passport includes an app called the BlackBerry Hub, which is where your email, SMS/MMS, BBM messages, calls/voicemails, calendar events, social media messages and notifications such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, can be consolidated in one view for easy access and response. I liked it that it gives you that convenience, except I personally wouldn't want my personal social media accounts included in the mix.
Another built-in app is called the BlackBerry Blend, which allows you to access the contents of your device (emails, text messages, BBM messages, calendar, files) from a computer or tablet with internet access. I didn't get to try it out though so I can't say if the interface is good or not.
I like how documents, spreadsheets, and presentations display well on the device, so I think this, as well as the email app (BB Hub), will definitely be beneficial for professionals on the go. As accessing some sites on the internal corporate network is required for some professionals, how well the VPN works on the phone is also important. I'm not sure how it is on this phone and I've never used it on my old BlackBerrys before either, but it would be great if it works well. I think I've tried using VPN on the BlackBerry PlayBook before and I think it worked okay.
I think I'd love having this as a work phone, which is exactly what BlackBerry had in mind when creating this phone — made for corporate users.
I would still like to keep a separate personal phone though. How about you, do you see yourself using this phone?

ZZ Top sell publishing rights and back catalogue for undisclosed fee
It's expected to be a multi-million dollar deal
By Elizabeth Aubrey
ZZ Top. CREDIT: Rick Kern/WireImage
ZZ Top have sold all their publishing rights and back catalogue for an undisclosed fee.
The group have sold both to BMG and investment firm KKR.
While financial details for the deal were not disclosed, it's expected to have attracted a multi-million dollar deal with the group having sold over 50million albums.
The deal will cover all the "music interests" of ZZ Top. The group's manager, Carl Stubner said in a statement: "We are proud to continue working with and expand our long-standing relationship with BMG. This new deal ensures ZZ Top's remarkable legacy will endure for generations to come."
BMG CEO Hartwig Masuch added: "This deal is a testament to the success, staying power and continuing musical relevance of ZZ Top, but also to the power of our partnership with KKR.
"This agreement furthers our vision of providing artists and songwriters not just a financial exit, but also a vehicle committed to respecting and treasuring their artistry."
This year, BMG have acquired the rights to the back catalogues of Mick Fleetwood, Tina Turner and Mötley Crüe.
Other artists who have sold their rights elsewhere include Paul Simon, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen.
Back in July, ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons confirmed that the band will continue on following the death of Dusty Hill.
"We are saddened by the news today that our Compadre, Dusty Hill, has passed away in his sleep at home in Houston, TX," remaining ZZ Top members Billy Gibbons and Frank Beard said in a statement in July.
"We, along with legions of ZZ Top fans around the world, will miss your steadfast presence, your good nature and enduring commitment to providing that monumental bottom to the 'Top'. We will forever be connected to that 'Blues Shuffle in C.'"
They added: "You will be missed greatly, amigo."

"On your mark. Get Set. Go!" Is your boat going to be ready as soon as the season starts? Summer is not far away and there are a number of things you can do in the next couple of months to prepare your boat for the season. One is checking your flares and, if they need replacing, there are some things you should know.
Do your flares need replacing or are you just going to get some new ones and add them to the existing flares on board? If so, you may want to think twice about it.
Before you race out and just grab what's on your marine store's shelf, consider the following.
How old is too old? The Coast Guard and Marine Police consider flares expired after 4 years from the date of manufacture.
Typically, this means that you must replace your flares every three boating seasons. The Coast Guard regulations require that each pyrotechnic signaling device must be stamped with the expiration date. If they have expired or will expire during the boating season, you must replace them...it's the law!
The fine in Canada for expired flares or no flares aboard is $150.00. In the U.S., there is a penalty of up to $1,100 for failure to comply with equipment requirements.
Don't spoil your summer. Do the check and replace when necessary. It is not only the law, it is your family's potential rescue time you are risking. Do the right thing.
Get your money's worth when you buy "new" flares. Check the date of manufacture before you buy. For flares that are already a year old, they are only good for 75% of their intended life and therefore, worth only 75% of their retail value. And so on. Don't buy old stock, without the appropriate pro-rated discount.
Expired flares can be saved as back-up flares for about 10 years to expand signaling time in the event of an emergency. Then, they become unstable and should be disposed of.
Contact your local law enforcement or the fire protection agency for their advice on proper visual distress signal disposal.
NEVER jettison distress signals overboard.
NEVER activate marine flares in a non-emergency situation. You could be charged with the cost of an unnecessary rescue.
Nick,
Each state and province seems to have a different procedure for disposal of expired marine flares. In California, they have a list of disposal sites at http://www.coastal.ca.gov/ccbn/HHW_Flare_Disposal_July_08.pdf<;br />Hope this helps.
Great article! flairs are an important part of the safety equipment that is required on your boat. Thank you for the list of disposal sites too!
Just tried to dispose of 09 expired A flares at the Hazardous Waste of Mississauga since the Fire department wouldn't take them.
They advised to put them in water overnight, and then put them in ordinary garbage.
