The Manchester FinTech is more than doubling its footprint within the city having experienced significant growth since starting three years ago.
Hello Soda's new central location, within Piccadilly Plaza's City Tower, has more than twice the floor space of its former home in King Street and, on the 12th floor, boasts panoramic city views. The firm has also employed three new graduates.
As a big data analytics firm, Hello Soda's unique proposition revolves around PROFILE, its unstructured data analysis platform.
This allows businesses to mine data for insights that can transform the way they work across lending and banking, insurance, retail, marketing and gaming.
These pioneering insights allow organisations to efficiently and effectively verify identification, increase loan accepts through credit risk analysis, tackle fraud and to engage with consumers on a one-to-one level.
The move within Manchester cements Hello Soda's commitment to the city and is testament to the Northern Powerhouse's credentials in supporting FinTech growth outside of London.
James Blake, founder and CEO said: "There is a lot of talk about the need to be based in London to be successful but our story alone demonstrates that this is not the case.
"We are passionate about the Northern Powerhouse and committed to being part of it as the region continues to grow in status and becomes a hub for business innovation.
"Hello Soda may have started small but we have already expanded internationally; we have an office in Bangkok and do business around the world all from our Manchester home.
"It's safe to say that we are no longer a start up; with over 20 staff, doubling our office space and continuing to nurture future talent we are creating a platform to achieve so much more in the future.

Georges Navel, de son vrai nom Charles François Victor Navel (Pont-à-Mousson,  – Die, ), est un écrivain communiste-libertaire français, manœuvre, ajusteur, terrassier, ouvrier agricole, apiculteur, correcteur d'imprimerie à Paris (1954-1970).

Biographie
D'origine paysanne, son père est manœuvre dans les hauts-fourneaux et sa mère travaille aux champs et aux bois tout en élevant ses enfants, dont Georges est le treizième.

Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, Georges Navel est envoyé quelques mois en Algérie, dans ce qui était alors le département du Constantinois, par la Croix-Rouge, qui prend en charge les enfants des villages exposés aux bombardements. Il rejoint ensuite sa famille à Lyon.

En 1918, en compagnie de ses frères, il assiste à des meetings et à des réunions organisées par des groupes d'avant-garde et rêve d'une société communiste libertaire.

À partir de 1920, il suit les cours du soir de l'Université syndicale où il fait la connaissance du docteur Émile Malespine qui publie la revue Manomètre à laquelle participent Hans Arp, Tristan Tzara, Jules Supervielle...

De 1927 à 1933, il est insoumis au service militaire, vivant avec de faux papiers.

Le , il part à Barcelone soutenir la révolution sociale espagnole et combat dans les rangs de la colonne Francisco Ascaso. Il rentre en France un mois et demi plus tard, victime d'une insolation doublée d'une gastrite. Il raconte cette brève expérience dans La Révolution prolétarienne,  en Espagne (n°583, ).

Tout en gagnant sa vie comme manœuvre itinérant puis comme correcteur d'imprimerie de 1954 à 1970, il écrit pour L'Humanité et Commune, publie des romans autobiographiques, correspond avec Bernard Groethuysen. Jean Giono signe la préface de son ouvrage Chacun son royaume, paru en 1960.

Le plus connu de ces ouvrages, Travaux, qui relate notamment son expérience d'ouvrier, se termine par ces mots : « Il y a une tristesse ouvrière dont on ne guérit que par la participation politique. Moralement, j'étais d'accord avec ma classe ».

Il est signataire du Manifeste des 121 sous-titré « Déclaration sur le droit à l'insoumission dans la guerre d'Algérie », paru en septembre 1960.

Saying that flawed implementation of GST regime and ill-effects of demonetisation will remain in the people's mind for a long period, Senior Congress leader and former Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram said the two processes initiated by the NDA government had severely damaged the Indian economy and they will be major factors influencing the outcome of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Speaking to reporters here he said, ''no one can erase the thought on people's mind that demonetisation and a flawed GST has damaged India's economy. That perception and and conviction has spread far and wide to every nook and corner of this country. Every citizen knows that the two had destroyed jobs and SMEs, while it derailed India's economy. Nothing that BJP can do to erase that perception''.
He said demonetisation had failed to have any effect on the informal economy as over 99 per cent was back into the banks. Traders were affected. People should ask the government to compensate all those who were affected by demonetisation.
Mr Chidambaram said world-over GST standard rate were one rate. IT was standard plus and minus. Congress had been demanding one standard rate not exceeding 18 per cent. ''This government called it stupid thought. Now this grand stupid thought is going to be blessed in tomorrow's GST Council,'' he lamented.
He said world-over GST standard rate is one rate. Standard plus and minus. Congress has been demanding one standard rate not exceeding 18 per cent. ''This government called it stupid thought. Today the grand stupid though is going to be blessed in tomorrow's GST Council,'' he added.
On farm loan waiver announced by newly elected Congress governments in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, the Congress leader said farm loan waiver, whether it is good or bad politics is not the issue.
''Farm loan waiver today is imperative. In just one district of Maharashtra, in just one last week, 108 farmers committed suicide. There are 5.28 crore small and medium farmers who are indebted out of 10 crore farmer families. The average indebtedness of a small medium farmer family is between Rs 90,000 to RS 1 lakh. How will this farmer family will ever repay this loan,'' he said.
He said the new Congress governments in the three states have responded to the dire needs of the situation. On economists criticising the farm loan waiver by various State government saying that it would affect the economy, Mr Chidambaram retorted, ''Economists should go to farm land, purchase two acres of land and do farming for at least two years and then comment on farm loan waiver. They must experience what farming is in this country. Whether it is good or bad politics people will decide. Economists or technocrats cannot what is good or bad politics. They can only define the quality of economics. We must understand the plight of farmers today''.


This is a one and one-half wide garage from the front and the concrete apron.
This is the left side and old window. There was originally cedar siding when the house was built in 1952. Later, perhaps in the 1970's or 1980's, wood-grain style aluminum siding was installed over that. It is difficult to find now, as we found out when we had the porch on the right side of the house made into a room in 2001-2002. But the contractor did find it… I know the source.
Before we moved into the house, we had a contractor lift and relplace the entire sill! There was previous termite damage that was never replaced in the floor supports. All that had to be done. For some reason, the sill and termite shield stopped before the window leaving the remainder of the garage the only place not done. after 11 years we moved the metal shelving and YIKES! The corner and half the side were damaged.
The last time that I saw my father, before he passed away in July 2007, he came over 2 days before with the name and number of the exterminator that he had. We immediately had that whole side treated for termites, although none were found. The corner is the worst place and we don't know how the garage is still standing after seeing the removed wood from the entrance.

Global Warming- Persuasion Assignment
Hunter Gibson
Many people are doubtful when it comes to the idea of the earth gradually moving towards its end, but this issue does not need to be left in the dark. According to the article Global Warming on Anna's website, published by Holly Ribbed on June 3, 2010, between 1906 and 2005 the Earth's average surface temperature rose between 1. 1 to 1. 6 degrees Fahrenheit. This is not the first time the Earth's climate has changed. The climate has experienced changes since the beginning of time. Small differences that occur in the Earth's orbit cause a somewhat different temperature.
The sun is the main ingredient when it comes to temperature. In the past, the Earth's orbit has changed, causing a slight change in temperature (Ribbed 1 This is not what the controversy sweeping the world. The problem is the more drastic change recently because of humans. The Earth has a natural heating mechanism called the Greenhouse Effect. The Greenhouse Effect is a necessary part of human existence. However, the problem is humans are increasing these greenhouse gases by burning fossil fuels, such as oil, and burning down forests, increasing the carbon dioxide level (2).

Without all this, humans would face an inevitable downfall. Countless arguments have been made supporting global warming. In the article World Could Heat Up 4 Degrees C in 50 Years from Sinews, published by Janet Areola on December 3, 2010, plans need to be put into action in order to stop the problem (Areola 1). Areola says that if nations do not reach agreements on how to handle global warming soon, then it could be too late. If greenhouse emissions are not cut down drastically, the average global temperature could rise four degrees Celsius by he sass's.
She quotes Nile Borrower, an atmospheric physicist at the University of Oxford, who says, " Climate negotiators tend to focus on political goals, like setting timetables of 2020 or 2050 for when binding emissions limits should go into effect, but Mother Nature doesn't care about what we emit in any particular year. What matters is cumulative carbon emissions" (1 This is important because to keep putting off dates to take action, global warming can only get worse. Borrower and his Oxford team figured that in order to avoid the four-degree increase, humans must not emit more than one trillion metric tons of carbon by 2200.
Borrower adds that humanity is almost halfway to that mark already (1 As with any argument, there must be two sides. People that support/believe global warming is occurring and those that do not. One professor trying to convince people of the warming phenomena is Victor Miguel Pence, a civil and environmental engineering professor at San Diego State University, published an article with thirty-three facts supporting global warming. Pence states that within the 21 ,OHO years leading up to the year 1900 the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose from 190 pump (parts per million) to 290 pump (Pence 2).
Amazingly, since 1900, only one hundred and ten years, the global carbon dioxide rate has increased to 387 pump . Along with this he says population increase has added to the problem. Between 1959-1999 the worlds population doubled to make it With this extreme jet in population came the need for more carbon dioxide emitting machines. Today, 80% of transportation in the world s by motor vehicle These statistics are terrifying when it comes to the earth's existence. Playing the devils' advocate is Michael Dotty who wrote the article "What Global Warming? , published on December 6, 2009 by The Wall Street Journal. He states the most common arguments for skepticism of global warming and then answers why they are untrue. Dotty reports skeptics say even though the Earth has warmed some throughout the twentieth century, since 1 998 temperatures have been shown to be dropping some. December 2007 to November 2008 was the coldest year of the decade. He reasons this by saying 1998 was above average when it comes to global temperature due to El Onion. Using this as a reference point is inaccurate, because the year was so abnormally warm.
Since 1970 average temperature has been increasing about . 18 degrees Celsius per decade (Dotty 1 Another argument skeptics use is that surface temperature readings are normally done from ground stations. Because of this nonbelievers say the temperatures recorded are too high due to an "urban heat island" effect. They say cities trap more heat, which will raise the temperature gauge higher than it should be. Dotty reasons by saying urban temperature stations go back and adjust the readings in order to account for the "urban heat island" effect (2).
Despite the reasoning, skepticism still exists among scientists. Global warming does not only impact the earth as a planet, but it affects basic human life as well. With global warming comes higher sea levels, more extreme weather, and hotter summers, possible leading to strokes (Ribbed 13). Earth's ecosystems are also at risk if something is not done to reduce gas emission. Warmer temperatures lengthen the growing period for plants, which requires more water to keep the plants alive.
However, higher average temperatures will decrease the amount of rainfall. The Intergovernmental panel on Climate Change (EPIC) States that if temperatures rise 1. 5 -?? 2. 5 degrees Celsius, then twenty to thirty percent of plant and animal species will be threatened by extinction (12). Many American states have already taken initiative to slow down their releasing of harmful gas. In The New York Times article "On Global Warming, Start Small", published by Bruce Usher on November 27, 201 0, possible lotions to the warming problem are shown. Sheer says rather than waiting on an international agreement on how to cut back gaseous emissions, states should begin to take action on their own. Texas is responsible for producing more wind electricity than all world countries but five. Many states are beginning to harvest solar energy to run their homes, such as Arizona and California (Usher 1). New cars are being created every year that burn less and less detrimental fuels. Despite all these actions if everyone does not do their part, then these precautions are almost useless.
Even if global warming is a hoax or a fluke, it will not hurt to try and cut back on usage of carbon gas emitting products. As a human race, people must be cautious of the resources available now, because when they are gone, they are gone for good. Global warming is a problem that can be extremely reduced if humans will do their part to help cut back on toxic fumes going into the atmosphere. Ribbed ends her article by saying, " Since people are causing global warming, people can mitigate global warming, if they act in time" (Ribbed 13). Ribbed says this as to offer a sort of hope for tomorrow.

It's sometimes rare that a sequel, whether for a book, a film, or a TV series ever matches the original. You anticipate that it will; hope that it will, and then…it doesn't and it sullies it somewhat for the original.
Among The Lilies is the exception.
It's Stuntdouble's (Bad Girls) sequel to "What God Had Brought Together…" and if you haven't read that, I would highly recommend you do (a review is available on this site).
Among The Lilies carries on right where What God Has Brought Together left off.
Nikki and Helen are in Helen's hometown in Scotland. Newlyweds that should be enjoying their nuptials and Helen is more than willing to engage, except that Nikki is somewhat reluctant; they are in Helen's father's house. And he's a minister.
With that, Stuntdouble then sets about giving us a look into Helen's past and childhood, as Nikki learns more about the woman she loves. It's done with wonderful descriptive images and humour that has you laughing out loud.
Now, this is all starting to sound rather too good to be true and a little too picture perfect. And we can't have Nikki and Helen without some angst, surely? Fear not, for Stuntdouble provides it. Trish opens her big mouth over the past (for reasons you'll discover) and Helen's insecurity skyrockets. Nikki's continued 'reluctance' to 'consummate' their relationship, consumes Helen's thoughts to the point of paranoia and involves a trip to a certain kind of store, for inspiration!
Helen is unaware that Nikki is on a noble quest to save a certain Scottish village and Nikki is unaware that her missus is convinced she's inadequate in the bedroom department! Lots of fodder for misunderstanding!
Stuntdouble also gives us a tremendous subplot involving Trish and Claire, to the point where Trish almost steals the show. Just like a like a film with big named stars playing the leading roles, it's the supporting actor that usually runs off with the Oscar. And an Oscar winning performance it is by Trish. I defy anyone not to find themselves rooting for Trish to win the girl.
But Stuntdouble never lets us forget who the leading ladies are in this line up. Nikki and Helen's relationship still carries all the feeling, emotion, tenderness, understanding (and misunderstanding) that we have come to know from these two, mixed with Stuntdouble's penchant for humour that has you practically crying with laughter, to moments that leave you stunned and well…practically just crying.
Stuntdouble's writing appears effortless – these isn't a sentence that doesn't need to be there – and when something seems that effortless, you know a lot of hard work and talent has gone into producing it.
And the last chapter, although short, is stunningly poetic and beautifully written (as is the whole story really) in my opinion. If you're not left with a lump in your throat come "The End" then just assume you've had a heart bypass!
I know this review doesn't do this story justice, so I would urge you to read it for yourself.
Sequels don't come any better than this!

Thanks for this – I really like the poster. I sure believe that if teachers started thinking and teaching with the Law of Two Feet in mind, we'd do much better work.
Glad you liked the poster, and I absolutely agree with you on the virtue of focusing on positive contribution. However, I am afraid I can only take credit for posting it! The true genius (apart from Harrison Owen) is Mark Bain from the IATEFL TDSIG, who did so much good work preparing for last weekend's Unplugged Conference!

The Morris Chronicle (2006)
The Morris Chronicle started out as a film to document a 93-year-old barbecue master--Morris Peeples--as he cooks a hog in the old fashioned way, the way that farmers in the Springfield community in South Carolina have long cooked in this Edisto River region in Barnwell County. This film opens with Morris setting aside a hog for a BBQ requested by an attorney in Barnwell, his attorney. As we move linearly through the cooking of the barbecue, we learn that Morris is supervisor and honorary member of a hunt club that in what Morris calls "the Big House" about 300 yards from his sharecropper house, where he lives with his 52 year old wife, Faye. When Morris takes us to the "Big House," we become connected to a story of the relationship between the landowner (who began the hunt club), Morris Peeples, and men who are members of the hunt club and spend weekend outings at the "Big House." The Hatiola Hunt in which Morris is an honorary member brings Morris together with men whose Southern roots are entertwined with his.
Morris lived the life of a sharecropper. He is a man who inherited almost supernatural strength--on the inside and the outside--from his father, as well as a knowledge of the soil that earned him the reputation of being able to get more quality product out of an acre of land than anyone else in the county. He is a sage, a man whom his brothers and their sons in The Hatiola Hunt club seek out for wisdom, as well as a zest for living. As we come into Morris's life we find a person with a love for people so infectious that it draws the young and the old to him.

Like everyone else, we are preparing ourselves for a day of snacking tomorrow. We don't feel particularly attached to either football team, so for most of the family it is all about the food and the commercials.
Caramelized onion dip is a nice alternative to the traditional onion soup mix chip dip. You can serve it with either potato chips or a vegetable tray.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 30 minutes. If the onions begin to stick to the bottom of the pan, add 1-2 Tbs water and lower heat slightly; continue to cook until onions are golden brown. Add minced garlic and cook 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
Stir balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, parsley, onion and garlic powders, salt and pepper into the onions in the skillet. Stir to loosen any caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan.
Place cream cheese in a large bowl. Stir onion mixture into the bowl with the cream cheese. Let onions cool slightly, and then stir in the sour cream. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired and serve at room temperature with potato chips or sliced vegetables.
Dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Allow to sit at room temperature for about 1 hour before serving.

Q: Is there a Group BY function for finding result with elastic search query? I have tried to integrate group by with elastic search. But I didn't get the answer properly. Please support me to fix this issue. Indexed data is,
data = [
       { "fruit":"apple", "taste":5, "timestamp":100},
       { "fruit":"pear", "taste":5, "timestamp":110},
       { "fruit":"apple", "taste":4, "timestamp":200},
       { "fruit":"pear", "taste":8, "timestamp":90},
       { "fruit":"banana", "taste":5, "timestamp":100}]`
My query is,
`myQuery = {"query": {
      "match_all": {}
    },
    "aggs": {
      "group_by_fruit": {
        "terms": {
          "field": "fruit.keyword"
        },
      }
    }
    }

It showing all 5 data in the output. Actually I nee d to get only 3 records. The expected result is,
[
   { "fruit":"apple", "taste":4, "timestamp":200},
   { "fruit":"pear", "taste":8, "timestamp":90},
   { "fruit":"banana", "taste":5, "timestamp":100}]

A: If you want to get the documents with distinct fruit fields having the largest timestamp value you should use a top_hits aggregation.
{
    "query": {
      "match_all": {}
    },
    "size": 0,
    "aggs": {
        "top_tags": {

                "size": <MAX_NUMBER_OF_DISTINCT_FRUITS>
            },
            "aggs": {
                "group_by_fruit": {
                    "top_hits": {

Are you building an email list or interested in building a responsive email list? If yes, then this one's for you.
First off, here's a bit about my background.
I have a six-figure opt-in email list that I've built from various niche markets. So every subscriber opted-in; they gave me permission to send relevant information to their email inbox.
I've sent thousands of email messages with open rate tracking enabled. This has allowed me to comparatively review which email messages get opened and which emails don't get opened.
Now remember, if you send your email list crappy spammy content then they're not going to be opening your messages for long anyway…. and rightfully so.
However, if you have a track record of delivering valuable relevant content to your subscribers then these techniques will be beneficial.
Alrighty, so here's a handful of my time-tested proven email subject title tactics that you can use right now to "get opened" more often.
What's so clever about all that?
Well, you can have a headline AND a call to action all in the same email subject title. You can have a ying and a yang. Plus your email message will be outstanding in a crowded inbox and much more likely to catch the reader's eye first.
I've found that most people just love opening emails with some sort of visual element in the subject title….period. This works across the board, no matter what your product or niche may be.
Go to Digg.com or Youtube.com to find popular niche related subject tiles that have "Video" or "Picture" in the title. You'll find tons of great eye-catching ideas for any niche market.
Of course, it's important to follow-through and deliver a video or picture that's relevant to your subscriber's interest. Make sure it's something that they'll find informative or enjoyable, preferably both.
Go to Google Insights or Google Alerts to find market buzz words that are targeted to your niche. These buzz words will spark your subscribers interest and propel them to open the email.
Be the first to tell them breaking news related to their market.
Curiosity has opened a zillion and one emails. Use cliff hangers in your subject title to spark the interest of those scanning through their inbox.
Never will happen again. EVER.
OK, that's all for now, but I promise to share more with you very soon!
There are ways to increase your email open rates that have nothing at all to do with subject titles. Keep an eye on this section for more on that topic.
P.S.- Use this information for the purposes of legitimate online marketing. Make the Internet a better place for everyone. In other words… be cool.
Great article, I've just written about how to write attention grabbing subject lines. It will also tell you how to win free Email Marketing Training.

Adobe Audition CC Review
By Jamie Lendino
20.99 Per Month
Strong audio-restoration, sound-removal, and noise-reduction tools.
Excellent stereo waveform editor.
Useful visualization tools.
Adheres to film and television broadcast standards for audio.
Lacks MIDI support.
Only available via an expensive monthly subscription.
Audition is a comprehensive audio editor for video post-production, podcasts, and audio restoration. It's expensive for what you get, though, and makes the most sense as a supplement to a video editor or as part of an existing CC subscription.
Adobe Audition is powerful, cross-platform audio editing software that's in a category of its own. For example, Audition has specialized tools for cleaning up or restoring audio and offers precision, nondestructive editing for corporate and commercial video, as well as podcasts. It absolutely excels in post-production, unlike Audacity, which is admittedly a much simpler program. In a pinch, Audition also functions as a digital audio workstation (DAW), though it's too limited and expensive for that market given its lack of music composition tools.
Pricing, System Requirements, and Setup
Audition began its life as a program called Cool Edit by Syntrillium Software. I remember it from its multitrack-enabled Cool Edit Pro days. Adobe bought the product from Syntrillium roughly 15 years ago, relaunched it soon after as Audition, and has developed it ever since.
As with other Adobe software, you "buy" Audition by subscribing to one of the company's Creative Cloud (CC) plans. Audition by itself costs a rather high $20.99 per month on an annual plan, or $31.49 on a month-to-month plan. It's also available as part of a package with all of Adobe's professional products, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, and more, for $52.99 per month as part of an annual plan or $79.49 month to month, although students and teachers can get it for as little as $19.99 a month. When you stop paying, Audition stops working and you keep nothing.
Whether any of these plans make sense to you depends on your needs. If you're the type of audio engineer who buys a program once and uses it professionally until it's no longer supported, years down the line, Audition will prove a much more expensive proposition than Logic Pro X (a flat $199.99 forever, with free upgrades). But if you tend to upgrade your audio workstation often, paying hundreds of dollars up front and then $99 or $149 every couple of years to get new versions, Audition makes more sense. Audition's best value proposition is if you're already working in Adobe Premiere and pay for a full CC subscription anyway, in which case Audition is already part of the package. Still, to put all of this in perspective, three years of working with Audition will cost you at least $755, and possibly more if you choose a different plan or go month-to-month. That's a lot.

To install Audition, you need a PC running Windows 10 64-bit or a Mac running macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or newer. For this review, I tested Audition CC 2019 on an Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (2017) with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD running macOS Mojave 10.14.6, with a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 USB interface attached. I ran into no bugs throughout the review period, which is nice to see (although increasingly common, even with Audition's complex competitors).
There's no hardware copy protection dongle required with Audition, as there is with Pro Tools. You do need to run the Creative Cloud desktop app in the background, which you install as part of the setup process. By default, Audition CC collects usage data, and to stop it you have to manually opt out once the program is installed.
Audio Editing, Restoration, and Export
Audition offers two main modes: the Waveform view, for stereo editing, and the Multitrack view, for mixing together tracks on a timeline. It's simple to flip between these two whenever you want. For CC 2019 Adobe has added some spit and polish to the UI, with brighter waveform displays, improved colors, and clearer outlines around various on-screen elements. In the Waveform view, recording audio and adjusting its volume is simple, and an attractive spectral frequency editor lets you attack the recorded wave in different ways. You can now punch a recording from a specific point within a clip and quickly zoom in to the same range on multiple selected clips.
The Multitrack view is where Audition takes on the look of a normal digital audio workstation. Here you drop clips of audio on different tracks, such as a voiceover on top of music stems or ambient sounds, or mix together recorded interview segments to create a podcast. As you'd expect, the interface is fully drag-and-drop compatible, and you can cut or trim clips for seamless nondestructive edits. That's unlike the Waveform editor, where edits are destructive.
The Mixer view looks a little cluttered, mainly thanks to overly thin sliders, but Audition's metering and support for console effects are plenty strong. Using the Multitrack view, it's easy to strip multiple audio channels from MXF and other types of video files. For example, if you record a scene for film or television using multiple microphones (or even in 5.1), the program lets you store each recorded file in its own channel in the file, and then configure the routing of the source channels to each corresponding clip channel.
New for CC 2019 are two much-needed effects. DeReverb is a useful tool that lets you reduce or even remove any reverberation in an existing audio file. It can handle big spacious reverbs or short delays (echoes). DeNoise removes hiss and hum from existing files, but in a way that's more transparent and certainly easier than the older Noise Reduction feature. Instead of requiring you to first create a "noise print" from a quiet period of the audio, or fine-tune the exact frequencies and dB levels, before you got an acceptable result, DeNoise does it all, even in real time with no latency. You just have to control how much noise reduction you want. It also lets you preview the noise print it's removing on its own as a reality check. While both of these effects are pretty easy to get going, they still come with a ton of parameters for anyone who wants to dive in deep.
Adobe also builds in an Essential Sound panel, which is targeted at beginners. To use it, you select a clip, and then choose a Mix Type, such as Dialogue. The program then shows you only a few crucial adjustments that are probably the most important for that task, like repairing a click or making it sound clearer. The program includes more than 50 audio effects in total.
One of Audition's most powerful features is its Favorites, which let you set up macros that perform a series of common operations on wave after wave, such as normalizing or converting to stereo. The History panel lets you undo or redo previous actions. In tandem with Favorites is Batch Processing, which lets you perform tricks like matching up an entire group of clips to broadcast regulation standards, or analyze the frequency and even phase of recordings—this would have saved me a ton of time on some older video game sound design projects I worked on years ago.
Adobe also improved the way it deals with clip gain. First, you can see the waveforms scale in real time on-screen, which is a huge upgrade and matches the way Pro Tools and Samplitude handle it. The potential range is now increased from +15dB to +96 dB. The Sound Remover tool is another winner; you can get transparent results using it to remove an errant bump, paper shuffling, or even a car alarm from an otherwise perfect take.
For topping off your audio clips and getting them to sit just right in a final video project or podcast, as well as ducking music when appropriate to spotlight voiceovers, Audition excels. For the first time, the auto-ducking now works with ambient sounds, and you can enter time and parameter values for keyframes manually now. The program also makes it easy to export broadcast-ready audio in a variety of formats to comply with loudness standards in film, television, commercials, and radio around the world.
Scoring and Music Production
In CC 2019 Adobe improved the audio rendering engine so that it can handle up to 128 tracks or record 32 tracks at once without stuttering. You can also select, adjust, and even delete multiple tracks simultaneously—table stakes for DAWs, but welcome improvements nonetheless.
Audition comes bundled with several thousand royalty-free loops and over 10,000 sound effects to get you started with post-production. Audition also offers a Remix tool for music that attempts to automate cutting new versions of a song without having to send it to an actual remixer or mix engineer for changes. It lets you adjust a song's target duration to get exactly the right cut. Say you shorten the song by 30 seconds; the Remix tool will literally go in and adjust the segments of the song and transition them in a way that resembles splicing tape, and that's pretty much seamless to the listener assuming it's not a song most people recognize. You can customize the splices by telling it to favor shorter segments with longer transitions or vice versa. More importantly, the program can be configured to favor rhythm (timbre) elements so that the beat always stays locked when necessary, or favor harmonic structure when it's a group of vocalists or stringed instruments playing that don't have an easily discernable beat attached.
All told, I find the Remix tool great for library tracks you're not super-particular about or custom music composed for a particular project. But having worked on the other side of this as a composer for years, I'd still say just ask the composer for their opinion and possibly an extra cut of the song at a different length, if it's possible within the parameters of your contract with them.
It's the rest of the music support tools that give me pause in recommending Audition as a do-it-all audio editor. If you're coming from Avid's Pro Tools or another DAW, note that Adobe doesn't bundle any software instrument libraries with Audition. There's no score editor, and not even internal MIDI support, aside from a basic ReWire hookup to external apps like Ableton Live or Propellerhead Reason.
A decade ago, this would have made some sense, as many people hooked together Avid Pro Tools and Logic, Reason and Digital Performer, or other combinations of environments that excelled at different tasks. The idea would be that you'd run virtual instruments in one program and use the more robust recording or mixing facilities in the other.
Now that every major DAW offers comprehensive audio and MIDI recording features, I wouldn't recommend paying this much for an audio workstation without any music-related facilities included. You could argue that this isn't part of Audition's intended mission, but at its price level, the omissions are harder to forgive given its other scoring and post-production facilities. Audition can help score video, but, aside from the aforementioned Remix tool, it generally assumes the music is done already.
That said, if you've already got Audition for other reasons and want to use it to record a band, you certainly can. You can even pitch-correct vocals and master the track with the included multi-band compressor and limiter. But I wouldn't recommend buying Audition if composing music or recording your next album is the goal. You'd be better served by our Editors' Choices Apple Logic Pro X or Pro Tools. And there are always third-party add-ons like Izotope Rx for restoring audio in another DAW, should you need similar tools to what Audition offers for other kinds of projects.
A Focused Audio Editor
Adobe bills Audition as "designed to accelerate video production workflows and audio finishing," and that's really its key market. If you're a podcaster or video editor looking for a complementary product to beef up the audio in your projects, or especially if you work with (and are already paying for) other top-level Adobe software like Premiere or Photoshop, Audition is a natural fit. It even sends audio between Audition and Premiere, instead of forcing you to do cumbersome bounces each time; workflow enhancements like this amp up the value of the full CC subscription. In my tests, I also found Audition to be the ideal step up from Audacity or GarageBand when recording podcasts as well.
Our 3.5-star rating of Adobe Audition is more of a split than usual. It's a 4-star product for those who are working in post or who already have an Adobe subscription for more of the company's products and a 3-star utility for everyone else.

"Annie", 1993-2000. (Plaster before the now-completed bronze). 21"x58"x21".
"Annie" , named for my grandmother is one of a group of six entitled "Matriachal Series". It begins with my great-great-grandmother, Eliza Royal and rests for the present with my granddaughter, Emma. This group is a good demonstration of the way in which sculpture evolves in a formal fashion while simultaneously serving unrealized psychological demands. All the forms of the "Matriachal Series" are either from, or a development of, the "Life Sculpture" series made in approximately l983, which came about as an attempt to refine several of the somewhat clumpy forms of the earlier "Anotabulata" series. "Anolatabulata", a comprehensive work from 1976-79 based on the yin-yang subdivision of a cell made from two discs, displayed several shapes that had anthropomorphic overtones. Off and on over several years I played with variations on this theme, the pieces of "Life Sculpture" and of "God's Games" being two examples. In 1994, invited to make presentations at the Conference of the International Society for Interdisciplinary Study of Symmetry (ISIS-Symmetry) to be held in Washington DC the following year, I prepared quite formal descriptions of the "Life Sculpture" work subsuming all the examples that would be presented in the associated exhibition under the descriptive title "Bi-cornuate". The following year while finalizing these plaster examples I was struck by the notion that I had converted to hard form ( resin, plaster, or bronze) a set that could be seen as a matriachal lineage and was compelled to assign appropriate names. This was an almost embarassing surprise for, while aware that art emanates from within, it is my belief that expressive content is made evident most effectively via the energy of the activity and the quality of the total oevre. I prefer the intellectual stimulation engendered by art with interesting and inventive formal qualities over that which serves as visual literature, and generally squirm when witnessing the personal revelations that are the basis of the biographical. Nevertheless it was a most interesting realization because while working with the earlier "Anolatabulata", almost completely unaware of family connections beyond my Mother and my own children, I had the sense that I was creating a family of forms. It seems that in l995, having in the interim discovered a few "roots", I was assigning forms to people. What next?

Clean Water Act Proposed Rule – Add Your Support
Ideally, no one would pollute our water, but people do. Please support the Clean Water Act to protect our streams, wetlands, rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Since the Clean Water Act was passed over 40 years ago, we have made great strides in cleaning up our rivers, lakes, and coastal waters, but one-third of our nation's waters are still polluted. Clearly, we have a lot more work to do. Clean and safe water is essential to our very existence!
Besides not polluting water directly, we can support efforts by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Army Corps) to protect our waters via the Clean Water Act.
Specifically, we can submit a comment in favor of the proposed rule "Definition of 'Waters of the United States' Under the Clean Water Act" that is intended to clarify and better define which waters are protected by the Clean Water Act.
Clean Water Act in Brief
Clean water in the United States got a huge boost in 1972 when Congress enacted the Clean Water Act (CWA) and gave the newly formed Environmental Protection Agency the responsibility for regulating U.S. water quality and pollution standards.
The objective of the Clean Water Act is:
"…to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters by preventing point and nonpoint pollution sources, providing assistance to publicly owned treatment works for the improvement of wastewater treatment, and maintaining the integrity of wetlands."
Clean Water Act Highlights
The EPA has the authority to set effluent and wastewater standards for "waters of the United States."
It is unlawful to discharge pollutants into U.S. waters without a permit.
States have primary responsibility for setting and maintaining water quality, with EPA oversight.
The Army Corps is responsible for ensuring navigable waters remain navigable and issuing permits for dams, structures, and discharges of dredged or fill material.
Two previous posts covered clean water legislation more in-depth, Clean Water Laws – Prior to Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 and Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 and Beyond.
Clean Water Act – Proposed Rule Clarifies Protected Waters
Protecting waterways and water bodies from pollution is crucial to making sure clean water is available for drinking, growing food, industrial processes, wildlife, and recreation. Although the Clean Water Act does not specifically regulate drinking water, one in three Americans gets their drinking water from public water systems that rely in part on water from seasonal streams and wetlands.
U.S. Supreme Court decisions in 2001 and 2006 resulted in confusion about which waters are protected by the CWA and led to difficulty enforcing the law. The EPA received requests to remedy the situation from government officials, industry and agriculture representatives, environmentalists, and the public.
On March 25, 2014, the EPA and Army Corps announced a proposed rule "Definition of 'Waters of the United States' Under the Clean Water Act" to clarify the jurisdictional scope of the Clean Water Act.
"The purposes of the proposed rule are to ensure protection of our nation's aquatic resources and make the process of identifying 'waters of the United States' less complicated and more efficient."
As part of the process for determining a more specific definition for "waters of the United States," the EPA and other organizations studied over 1,000 peer-reviewed scientific articles on how connectivity or isolation of streams and wetlands affects downstream rivers, lakes, estuaries, and oceans. The September 2013 draft of the report Connectivity of Streams and Wetlands to Downstream Waters: A Review and Synthesis of the Scientific Evidence is available to the public.
Proposed Definition of "Waters of the United States"
Below is a simplified version of the proposed definition of "waters of the United States," as well as a few exemptions. For the actual text, read Proposed "Definition of 'Waters of the United States' Under the Clean Water Act" 40 CFR 230.3.
All waters used for interstate or foreign commerce (including in the past or possibly the future), including all waters subject to ebb and flow of the tide;
All interstate waters, including interstate wetlands;
The territorial seas; (3 miles from coastline low water mark)
All impoundments of waters; (e.g. reservoirs)
All tributaries of waters identified above,
All waters, including wetlands, adjacent to waters identified above; and
Other waters, determined on a case-specific basis, that have a significant nexus, meaning waters that significantly affect the chemical, physical, or biological integrity of waters identified above.
A few of the waters and features that are not "waters of the United States" under the Clean Water Act include:
Waste treatment systems designed to meet CWA requirements,
Prior converted cropland;
Ditches that do not flow directly or indirectly into a CWA protected water body,
Artificial lakes, ponds, swimming pools and the like; and
Groundwater (EPA regulates underground injection via the Safe Drinking Water Act).
Public Comment on Proposed Rule – Open Until October 20, 2014
The public comment period for the proposed rule, "Definition of 'Waters of the United States' Under the Clean Water Act," closes October 20, 2014.
The fastest and easiest way to make a comment is to use the online Federal eRulemaking Portal; however, comments may be made via email, mail, or hand delivery.
Comments for this proposed rule must include Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-2011-0880.
Important Note: Comments may be made anonymously, but will be available to the public. If names or other personal information are included in a comment, that is also available to the public.
I Submitted My Comment
It took about 3 minutes to submit my comment using the link on the EPA's website, which took me directly to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-2011-0880. Below is my comment.
"It's heartening to read that the number of lakes, rivers, and coastal waters unsafe for swimming and fishing, thus drinking and other uses, has been cut in half, but it's shocking to learn that one-third of our nation's waters are still polluted.
Clean and safe water is essential to our very existence! As an American citizen and parent, I appreciate the efforts of the EPA and Army Corps to tackle issues that have kept the Clean Water Act from being effectively implemented.
Please add my support to the proposed rule, "Definition of 'Waters of the United States' Under the Clean Water Act" published in the Federal Register on 04/21/14."

I chimed in my two cents worth also!
We want Clean Water legislation to continue to protect our health and future.
I submitted my comment on 09/24/14 and the EPA emailed me a tracking ID. My comment was posted on 10/09/14. I found it by going to the docket page and entering my tracking ID in the search window.
