Q: AJAX get for this weeks birthdays Greetings fellow sharepoint warriors.
I am trying to understand the way all the filtering goes and I've stumbled upon a problem.
I would like to get items from list where birthday falls in current week.
I am using Monday-Sunday if this is any help.
I have a column, which is Date & Time.
$.ajax({
   url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api" + "/web/lists/getbytitle('Workers')/Items?$select=FirstName,Birthday,LastName", //THE ENDPOINT
   method: "GET",
   headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
   success: function (data) {
         //DO SOMETHING WITH DATA
   }
});

I am trying to figure out how to filter date exactly. I know that filtering in range is done as following
$filter=(StartDate ge datetime'2014-01-01T00%3a00%3a00') and (EndDate le datetime'2014-04-30T00%3a00%3a00'

But how would i use a column information in that specific filter? If that was possible i could calculate day and month seperately and use jquery current year to filter between this weeks birthdays.
EDIT:/ Tried this out
_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Workers')/Items?$select=FirstName,Birthday,LastName&$filter=(Birthday ge datetime'1980-01-01T00%3a00%3a00') and (Birthday le datetime'2014-01-01T23%3a59%3a59') and (Day eq '21')

This gives me error:
The field 'Day' of type 'Calculated' cannot be used in the query filter expression.
Best regards.

A: i'd suggest using momentjs and calculating the exact date that you need for each, then query rest based on that.
somethings like
var monday = moment().startOf('week').add(1, 'days'); //beginning of Monday midnight

var sunday = moment().startOf('week').add(7, 'days').add(23, "hours"); //end of Sunday 11:00PM

Then use
"_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Workers')/Items?$select=FirstName,Birthday,LastName&$filter=(Birthday ge " + monday + ") and (Birthday le " + sunday + ")

When the Association of Colleges helped give 31 enterprising colleges a permanent presence in India earlier this year, the initiative required a level of customer service to match that of the best export companies.
Education export services are already worth £14bn a year to the UK and are expected to rise to at least £22bn by 2020. So it was no surprise the trip to India involved Skills Minister Matthew Hancock helping, in his own words, "co-ordinate the government's support for education as an export industry"..
And yet, 20 years ago, before Incorporation, colleges were largely characterised as public institutions focused on qualifications with little or no customer service, communication and marketing.
Jim Horrocks, former principal of Barnsfield College, recalls his first year in post when he observed growing queues waiting for a door to be opened at 2pm to process people for enrolment.
Something had to be done and the responsive college programme led by the FE Staff College, Blagdon, was designed to encourage colleges to prepare for market-led change that exploded during the 1990s.
The main legacy is seen in the Responsive College Unit (RCU), which continued as an independent agency after Incorporation, says Peter Davies, marketing consultant with the Policy Consortium.
He had helped create the College Marketing Network in 1987, which was crucial to supporting the RCU success and is still going, with around 180 members and an award scheme and annual conference in November.
But Incorporation brought a considerably more focused approach. "My impression of the marketing staff who attend is that their professionalism and competence has improved out of all recognition compared with the early days, and that the best practice in the sector now would be outstanding among any service organisations with comparable budgets," says Davies.
Analysing customers and colleges in the 1999 publication Managing External Relations in Schools and Colleges, Davies points to the key change as that of a move from promotion to marketing. Far more precise market research was needed to inform decisions about curriculum development, stimulated in 1994 by the legal requirement on colleges to produce strategic plans.
"As a consequence, colleges adapted their management information systems (MIS) for the purposes of marketing intelligence, which had not been a primary consideration in their original design," he says.
The workload on managers was incredible, says Carole Overton. "I was assistant principal at Deeside College. My responsibilities included marketing along with MIS, funding, planning, external work from companies, admissions, student services and multimedia learning and a few odd extras like nurseries. How I did all that I don't know,"she says.
In those early days, there was often something of a wish and a prayer in the operations. Andrew Morris, formerly director of marketing and development at City and Islington College, recalls: "Bizarrely, I became director of marketing and development in my college with no background in the former. Someone had to do it.

Saab's Trollhättan, Sweden, plant is safe until 2010 at least.
General Motors Europe said Friday it will continue to build Saab 9-3 and 9-5 models there for the next five years.
The plant also will build the new Cadillac BLS (B-segment luxury sedan) for European markets.
Production of the next-generation 9-3 and BLS will shift to GM's plant in Rüsselsheim, Germany, which builds the Opel Vectra. Rüsselsheim will produce mid-sized cars for GM starting in 2008.


Suntech's founding was the launch of the dream of Don and Doug Larson and their father. While their father passed before Suntech opened its doors in May of 1985, his influence lives on in the core values which we hold dear.
In the early days, Suntech survived on hard work and the advice of helpful mentors. There was no sophisticated grand plan, just hustle and a full course load from the school of hard knocks.
As the company grew over the years, we earned the right to serve some really big names in the fast food and convenience store industries. We have built during the booms and weathered the economic downturns. What held us together as a company is the grace of God, great clients, and an outstanding team.
Today we find ourselves with a resume and a history – and a fire in our belly to do more. To build for the best companies in the industry. To provide jobs and an outstanding work environment for our team. And most of all, we are passionate about leaving this world a little better than we found it – one project at a time.
Be a team player. Work hard, and work together. Take care of each other.
Obey the Golden Rule. Always treat others the way you wish to be treated. This is hard, but worth it.
Demand quality always. Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
Do the right thing, especially when it costs money. Doing the right thing can be expensive, but there is no price on integrity. We seek to do the right thing regardless of what it costs.
Work with a servant heart. We are here to make a difference, so we seek to serve people with kindness and passion.
We make no assumptions that we're the right fit for you or that you're the right fit for us. We want to work for companies who, first and foremost, share our core values. If you nodded your head as you read the above core values, that's a start.
Trust is nearly absent in the commercial construction industry, as contractors have failed time and time again to serve clients with excellence. We are far from perfect, but we aim to change the industry by establishing relationships built on trust. We want to work for companies who are looking for a contractor they can trust to lead them through the imperfect and sometimes frustrating construction process.
The best way to discern whether or not Suntech is a fit to build your project is to do things the old-fashioned way. Let's grab a cup of coffee and talk about your project. Let's discuss your goals and preferences. We're all humans here – not commodities – so let's get to know each other to see if we might be a fit for one another. By the way, if we're not a fit, we hope to be as helpful as we can to provide guidance on your project.

Acts 18:24-19:7
Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John. He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.
When Apollos wanted to go to Achaia, the brothers and sisters encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. When he arrived, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed. For he vigorously refuted his Jewish opponents in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah.
While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?"
They answered, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."
So Paul asked, "Then what baptism did you receive?"
"John's baptism," they replied.
Paul said, "John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus." On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. There were about twelve men in all.

Q: Find shortest point from two list in python using machine learning algorithms I have two list of values in python. I want to find the shortest distance between each points from list1.
list1 = [(10,15),(40,50),(10,60)]
list2 = [(12,17),(38,48),(12,63),(11,17),(10,59)]

I need to find list1 each point to the list2 shortest point.
For instance If I take the first value from list1,
(10,15) - This point is shortest point to (12,17) and (11,17) in the list2.
Similarly for the second value in the list1,
(40,50) - Shortest point is (38,48)
I want the below output for each point,
(10,15) - [(12,17),(11,17)]
(40,50) - [(38,48)]
(10,60) - [(10,59)]

I have tried euclidean distance matching algorithm but I am unable to proceed further.
Any help would be really appreciated.

A: All you need to do is, store the Euclidean distances in a dictionary mapped with the points as keys:
list1 = [(10,15),(40,50),(10,60)]
list2 = [(12,17),(38,48),(12,63),(11,17),(10,59)]
dict1, dict2 = {}, {}
for i,j in list1:
    for k,l in list2:
        dist = ((i-k)**2 + (j-l)**2)**0.5
        dict1[(k,l)] = int(dist)           # should use round(dist) instead
    min_dist = min(dict1.values())
    points = [keys for keys, values in dict1.items() if values == min_dist]
    dict2[(i,j)] = points

for k in dict2:
    print(k,'-',dict2[k])

Output:
(10, 15) - [(12, 17), (11, 17)]
(40, 50) - [(38, 48)]
(10, 60) - [(10, 59)]

Note: (10, 15) - [(12, 17), (11, 17)] this should not be the case, there should only be one closest point, which is (11,17), if you want the closest integers, you should consider round instead of just dropping the floating points.

A: I would suggest to create a Point class to store your cords and add methods to calculate distance. It could be something like:
class Point:
    def __init__(self, cords):
        self.x, self.y = cords

    def diff(self, others):
        difference = []
        for other in others:
            difference.append(((self.x - other.x) ** 2 + (self.y - other.y) ** 2) ** 0.5)
        return [x for _,x in sorted(zip(difference,others))]

    def __repr__(self):
        return str((self.x, self.y))

With these set, you can loop through list1 and get all the sorted results:
list1 = [(10,15),(40,50),(10,60)]
list2 = [(12,17),(38,48),(12,63),(11,17),(10,59)]

for i in list1:
    result = Point(i).diff([Point(j) for j in list2])
    print (i, result)

#
(10, 15)[(11, 17), (12, 17), (38, 48), (10, 59), (12, 63)]
(40, 50)[(38, 48), (12, 63), (10, 59), (12, 17), (11, 17)]
(10, 60)[(10, 59), (12, 63), (38, 48), (11, 17), (12, 17)]

A: Just because you are mentioning machine learning in the title:
This is complete overkill for such a small example, but here is a solution to get all nearest neighbors, using scipy.spatial which is a library you should probably learn about if you are interested in machine learning.
def all_nearest_neighbor(p, l, T=None):
    if T is None:
        T = scipy.spatial.cKDTree(l)
    shortest,_ = T.query(p)
    shortest = int(shortest)
    high = 2
    # get an upper bound of the number of tie
    while True:
        d,_ = T.query(p, k=high)
        longest = d[-1]
        longest = int(longest)
        if longest != shortest:
            break
        high *= 2
    # now finish the binary search in [high//2, high[
    low = high // 2
    while high - low > 1:
        mid = (low + high) // 2
        d,_ = T.query(p, k=mid)
        longest = d[-1]
        longest = int(longest)
        if longest == shortest:
            low = mid
        else:
            high = mid
    # finally get the indices
    _,indices = T.query(p, k=range(1,low+1))
    return [l[i] for i in indices]

As @SayandipDutta already noticed to get your expected result, we have to use the truncated euclidean distance which is a bit weird. If this is not what you want, comment the three lines with int(...) above.
In action:
>>> for li in list1: print('{} - {}'.format(li, all_nn(li, list2)))
(10, 15) - [(11, 17), (12, 17)]
(40, 50) - [(38, 48)]
(10, 60) - [(10, 59)]

And some stress test with bigger lists:
>>> list1 = [(random.randrange(1000), random.randrange(1000)) for i in range(1000)]
>>> list2 = [(random.randrange(1000), random.randrange(1000)) for i in range(100000)]
>>> from collections import Counter
>>> %time T = scipy.spatial.cKDTree(list2)
CPU times: user 68.7 ms, sys: 18.1 ms, total: 86.8 ms
Wall time: 85.9 ms
>>> %time Counter(len(all_nn(li, list2, T)) for li in list1)
CPU times: user 347 ms, sys: 1.9 ms, total: 349 ms
Wall time: 348 ms
Counter({1: 1150, 4: 82, 7: 2, 2: 516, 3: 230, 6: 3, 5: 16, 8: 1})

Most of the time, only one nearest neighbor but sometimes up to 8.
Computing all the distances (even without looking for the smallest one and so on) takes a lot more time:
>>> %time cd = scipy.spatial.distance.cdist(list1, list2)
CPU times: user 982 ms, sys: 371 ms, total: 1.35 s
Wall time: 1.35 s

Also comparing to the accepted answer (I know it's not pretending to be optimized):
>>> def SayandipDutta(list1, list2):
    dict1, dict2 = {}, {}
    for i,j in list1:
        for k,l in list2:
            dist = ((i-k)**2 + (j-l)**2)**0.5
            dict1[(k,l)] = int(dist)           # should use round(dist) instead
        min_dist = min(dict1.values())
        points = [keys for keys, values in dict1.items() if values == min_dist]
        dict2[(i,j)] = points
    return dict2
>>> %time d = SayandipDutta(list1, list2)
CPU times: user 2min 20s, sys: 510 ms, total: 2min 20s
Wall time: 2min 21s

TRAILER specialists are seeing increasing numbers of vehicles that do not meet safety specifications.
The Trailer Shop owner Steve Yeomans said one of the more common problems was unsafe safety chains.
He said often the chains on trailers he saw in his business did not have the required safety stamping.
"In a lot of cases we find that the chains are not strong enough," he said.
"If the hitch breaks the safety chain is supposed to catch the trailer.
"If it's not strong enough and it breaks you have a real problem."
Mr Yeomans said another common problem was the D shackles that connected the chain to the trailer and the towing car.
"A lot of people are buying cheap D shackles that are intended for miscellaneous uses," he said. "Usually they're just not suitable."
Mr Yeomans said many people were buying cheap Chinese imports that did not meet Queensland's Main Roads rules.
There were also a lot of "backyard" manufacturers who did not know the rules.
"Any trailer up to 750kg can be self-assessed," he said.
"That means the owner can fill out the form himself and lodge it with Main Roads.
"It's a worry when you could have a two-wheeled trailer travelling at 100kmh on the highway and the safety chain breaks."
Mr Yeomans said it could be devastating for people who had just bought a trailer to bring it to him and find it needed several hundred dollars worth of work to bring it up to standard.
"There are heaps of manufacturers out there, but people need to do their homework," he said.
"People must realise you get what you pay for."
According to Transport and Main Roads Department regulations any trailer with a rigid drawbar must be fitted with safety chains marked in accordance with the relevant Australian Standard.
The length of the safety chain must prevent the trailer's drawbar hitting the ground if the trailer is detached from the towing vehicle.
The safety chains must be properly connected to the tow bar with attachments capable of withstanding the specified breaking load of each chain.
If a trailer breaks away from an Aussie made xxxx recycled Beer can Tow-ball, then don't blame the Chinese chain and D- shackle that keep the trailer attached to the tow-bar.
It's bad enough, buying Aussie hacksaw blades that snap 5 times before you cut trough a Chinese made chain...!
Don't rubbish imported stuff, look at your own produced garbage no one want's..!!
Otherwise you wouldn't drive foreign cars...!! Would you..???!!!
"look at your own produced garbage no one want's..!!" --- So now, you are not one of us? If you were, you would have said. "OUR own", instead of "your own". Cuckoo, we really gotta tighten up the immigration rules, so that we get migrants who want to be Aussies, not spongers.
Nearly 70 years of Holdens, have led the Aussie ownership race up until the last decade, BUT Holden have outsold European cars, (and that includes Mercedes Benz), year in, year out, no contest.
I note that VW Group and Daimler are losing ground across Europe, to Ford, GMH and Toyoto. Looks like most Germans like foreign cars as well little fella.
The Trailer Shop owner Steve Yeomans encourages people to ensure their trailers and all the accessories, such as safety chains and D shackles, meet safety requirements. Have you been in his shop Swampy..???
Do you know what products he sells??
Is he drumming business up for his produce with that add..???
I don't own this shop, that I can't call it "our own produce"..!!!
Are you gone of your rockers or something; coming up with discriminatory remarks against my fact's ..???
JUST compare the 22.68 million (2012) Australian and European population 739.2 million (2011) that Holden have outsold European cars, (and that includes Mercedes Benz), year in, year out, no contest. You talking out your bum about our poor unemployable and 60% welfare recipients in Australia, no wonder Holden and Ford gone broke!!!
They should have used German quality hacksaw blades to keep their people employed.
You can't change the facts Cuckoo, with any amount of ranting!
Fact - Holden have sold more cars in Australia than VW and Daimler combined.
Fact - 73% of all cars sold in Germany are imports, the likes of Ford, GMC and Toyota, whilst VW / Daimler are losing ground.
Finally, No, I have not gone off my rockers, just because I state facts, rather than fiction, you say i am "discriminatory"?
Hang on, how can Ford and Holden (GMC), have gone broke, when they are in Europe out-selling your local cars? Ahhh, another Cuckoo falsehood! Back in your lunchbox !
well I dont know where u blokes get your car facts from. Where I live u can play spot the aussie made product .In fact I heard a bloke in a store say to his wife buy this its got made in Australia on it .it will be a collectors item one day .And Tony trying to trade with the japs .Are we going to sell him our superior cars .LOL. I drive a commodore all the rubbers have shrunk most of the plastic has broken .the plastic air vents fall over .Broken door handles ETC ETC Aussie made for None Aussie conditions .and my brother has a hi Lux which is not know as a gentle car and everything is as good as new .
Ha hahahahahah hit the nail on the head...!!
May I add Sikaflex and Nylon Bolts on Holden and scotch-locked wiring with cardboard interior trims on Ford.
The best are the silastic glued windows falling off the winder hinge on pothole roads... Ha hahaha typical Ford...!
The Jap's won't touch a Ford or Holden with a 10 foot pole..!!
If the hitch breaks, I have never had a hitch break in how many years, if the hitch breaks, then it doesnt matter how good or bad the safety chains are, if it breaks from excess stress, weight or pressure then reality tells you no safety chain is going to help, antiquated system of connecting a trailer to a vehicle, probably ok if you live in a swamp.
That explains why Australia is following them in every way as possible....!
The only Australian State, "Victoria" is the only place where Box trailers are unregistered and are kept that way which in my opinion - is and would be another money grab.
But from my experience Victorians got more brain then the rest of Australian states when it comes to common sense. No wonder most trucking firms register their trailers in Victoria or South Australia.
Say no more...! We live within Slavelandia's two party political Mafia's.
What do you do when the United States Government let's people build HONEMADE trailers that never get inspected! Look at this.
You need to know that NOVA SOCIA Along with New Brunswivk is the only Government that has listened to us to mandate a two year inspection in all trailer.
Swampy from Swamp Park you listening..??
"The old Australian saying close enough is good enough is what led us into this mess"
How much longer do we have to Bail out Holden and Ford..'eh???

Former Comet shortstop Jamal Rutledge was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 28th round of the MLB amateur draft.
By Robert Clinton, Sports Editor
It is the dream of every college athlete to sit with family on draft night, waiting in anticipation to hear his name called as a selection to a professional team.
For former Comet shortstop Jamal Rutledge that dream has become a reality.
"I've wanted to get the opportunity to play professional ball since I was 3 years old," Rutledge said. "When I got the call I was sitting with my mother. We both teared up. It was so special. It didn't feel real."
The 20-year-old was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the 28th round of the 2016 Major League Baseball amateur draft in June and has already been designated for assignment with the team's Arizona Rookie League squad.
Keeping in touch with Rutledge is tough for friends and family who the 6-foot-2-inch shortstop left behind in the Bay Area as the rigor of professional baseball leaves little time to socialize. The lion's share of his days are spent dealing with the business of baseball.
Rutledge reaches the park at about 2 p.m. for team workouts and batting practice. At 3:30 p.m. there is a team lunch followed by near daily games beginning at 7 p.m. or occasionally at 9 p.m.
Most nights, the Richmond native is not back at home until midnight.
"There were a lot of things I had to adjust to but the biggest thing was the heat," Rutledge said. "The first day I stepped on the field here (in Arizona) it was 124 degrees. I almost passed out."
Rutledge credits second-year coach Brian Guinn as contributing largely to his success, saying he showed love beyond coaching and treated the team like they were his kids.
"Jamal (Rutledge) just needs to be consistent," Guinn said of his former shortstop. "He has the ability. He just needs to remain focused and confident in what he can do."
This past Comet season, just the act of focusing became tough after two of Rutledge's family members were killed in a shooting.
"I sat out for a couple of days but I didn't let many people know what was going on," Rutledge said. "I didn't want to be the guy walking around with a long face and everyone asking me what's wrong, so I mostly would confide in Bear."
Bear (Elijah Smith), Rutledge's Comet teammate and lifelong friend, helped him deal with the tragedy and now sees the shortstop's perseverance through the pain as an inspiration for the upcoming Comet season.
"I think Jamal (Rutledge) being drafted is a blessing and a great opportunity that pushes me to work harder," Smith said. "We've known each other since we were 3-year-olds, so I believe with that same will and hope I can get to where I want to go."
Returning to the field last season was difficult for Rutledge, but with such a deep love for the game he continued to chase his dream with a renewed outlook.
"They would have wanted me to endure so I didn't give up," Rutledge said. "I feel like I'm playing for them. It makes me go harder."
Talent was never the issue for Rutledge and despite not having as explosive of a freshman season with the Comets as he would have wanted, professional baseball scouts regularly attended games to see the shortstop play.
In October, before the CCC baseball season began, Rutledge met with a scout who told him to remain healthy and good things would be in his future.
Indeed, the future was fruitful for Rutledge. Upon signing he received $50,000 along with an additional $50,000 to continue his education.
"The goal is to make it to Cleveland (the major league team)," Rutledge said. "On this level everyone is good, so it's important to never worry about someone else's game, just what you can do because you only have control of yourself."

Телевизијска реклама (скраћено: ТВ реклама) је специфична аудио-визуелна форма пропаганде, намењена за оглашавање производа, услуга, и сл.  на телевизијским станицама.

Под појмом телевизијска реклама, обично се мисли на минијатурни рекламни филм, кратку видео-аудио форму у којој се,  према свим правилима филмске уметности (филмског језика), јавности презентира одређени производ, услуга или некаква идеја коју је потребно афирмисати, објавити, упознати са њом заинтересоване појединце, односно циљне друштвене групе.

Прва телевизијска реклама емитована је у САД 1. јула. 1941. године у 8 сати ујутро. Телевизијска станица WNBT званично је објавила у свом програму рекламни знак компаније сатова "Булова".

Основни појмови и дефиниције
У теорији и пракси која се бави пропагандом, комуникацијама и медијима, ТВ реклама је постала предмет сукоба и спорова око њене праве природе и, у крајњој линији, уметничког интегритета. Док јој једни одричу пропагандно својство називајући је невином персуазијом која потрошачима помаже у праву избора и пружању информације, други ТВ реклами злокобно приписују страшне манипулативне могућности, које људско биће претварају у неку врсту робота, "зомбија" испраног мозга.

Колико је ова проблематика актуелна  види се и по томе што је још увек честа терминолошка збрка око појмова пропаганда и реклама, који се мешају до те мере да је код нас чак одомаћен и појам економска пропаганда,(1) или ТВ спот (2), којим се обично означавају рекламни садржаји свих врста, који се баве оглашавањем или промовисањем тема из области привреде или услуга.

У суштини, ТВ реклама се развила из рекламног филма, као његова специфична телевизијска варијанта. Рекламни филм, са друге стране,  представља један посебан поджанр пропагандног филма, кога као бенигнију и невинију варијанту данас можемо наћи у готово свим областима друштвеног живота.

Оно што га разликује од пропагандних филмова, јесте његова специфична и препознатљива форма, посебна драматургија, модификовани и особени филмски језик којим се служи и, наравно, јасно одређена примењена сврха за коју је намењен.

Облици и форме

Телевизијска реклама може имати различите форме од којих су неке уобичајене и чак стандардизоване (као нпр. класични рекламни ТВ спот у трајању до 30 сец.), може бити и прави мали играни филм са препознатљивом драматургијом, причом, глумцима, различитих дужина трајања, може се приказивати у наставцима (епизодама), током дужег временског периода, и сл.

Поред њених несумњиво уметничких квалитета, ТВ рекламом доминирају и тиме њену сврху одређују пропагандни модели комуникације. Ово модели налазе се у облику пропагандних техника које одређују и коначну форму сваке телевизијске рекламе.

Напомене
 ЕПП - Економско пропагандни програм, уобичајени скраћеница на домаћем тржишном и медијском простору. Овај термин је специфично наша кованица и нема паралела у страној литератури и пракси, у којој је познат појам адвертајсинг (Advertising, eng.) - оглашавање путем медија.
 ТВ спот је, заправо, наш домаћи незграпан превод енглеског појма commercial, којим се колоквијално назива телевизијска реклама, у смислу кратке пропагандне телевизијске форме. У светској литератури и пракси овај термин означава кратку рекламну видео или филмску форму, у ограниченом трајању до 30 секунди, у ређим случајевима до 1 минут. Код нас се овај термин непрецизно употребљава и за друге, потпуно различите телевизијске форме, као што је нпр. музички видео-клип, и сл.

The effects of different seedbeds on western larch (Larix occidentalis) germination and seedling mortality were assessed in a grandfir/ninebark (Abies grandis/Physocarpus malvaceus) habitat type in northern, Idaho, U.S.A. Two plots were established on each off our sites, and 150 western larch seeds (66% viable) were distributed on each of 16 randomly applied seedbed modification combinations (burned or mechanical scarified, mineral soil or duff, shaded or non-shaded, caged or non-caged for protection from predation).

"Guess Who Laid Us Off?": Art Workers Stage Protests on Black Friday
Former employees of the Marciano Art Foundation gathered at Rodeo Drive's Guess storefront to distribute flyers about their unionization attempt. Union members staged simultaneous actions in solidarity on the East Coast.

LOS ANGELES — In their ongoing struggle for the recognition of their union and reinstatement of their jobs, members of the Marciano Art Foundation (MAF) Union, along with supporters around the country, demonstrated in front of Guess stores on the busiest shopping day of the year, the annual anxiety-ridden consumption-based frenzy known as Black Friday. Gathered along one of the most famous upscale shopping concourses of the country, Rodeo Drive, a collection of MAF Union supporters clad in their characteristic all-black attire carried protest signs while handing out flyers to holiday shoppers.
A view of the Guess store on Rodeo Drive on Black Friday
The Marciano brothers, Paul and Maurice, co-founded Guess clothing brand in 1981 and went on to found the eponymous Marciano Art Foundation in 2017 to house and display their considerable art collection. Less than one month ago, on Friday, November 1, MAF visitor service associates announced their plans to unionize. While the museum initially seemed cordial and open to negotiation, telling the New York Times that "as an organization, we are supportive of all recommendations to improve the workplace experience and will give this careful attention as we begin our discussions," the foundation quickly changed its tune, sending an email on Tuesday, November 5 laying off all 70 of its visitor services associates, citing low attendance. It soon after announced it was shutting its doors and had "no present plans to reopen."

One of the protest signs, a simultaneously sincere and tongue-in-cheek large red arrow pointing to the entrance of the Guess store, asked would-be shoppers, "GUESS WHO LAID US OFF?" The signs were designed to get their message across to passersby quickly while "making it a little fun," said artist and member of the MAF Union Spencer Longo. Nearby, more protesters held four vertical signs each emblazoned with one letter of the word "SALE" to form an acronym that spelled out "Seventy Art Laborers Eliminated."
The decision to shutter the museum was "a very big abrupt response to our announcement [to unionize]," said writer Helene Seifer, a former MAF visitor service associate present at the Rodeo Drive demonstration. "I loved working there and sharing the art and then — POOF," she relayed, flyers in hand. Friday's action was the fourth protest that the workers have organized since the museum's unexpected closure.

Across the country, groups of labor organizers gathered to voice their support of the MAF Union, including one at Tanger Outlets at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. Protesters in New York City held signs stating "Union Busting is Disgusting" and chanted "This ain't the way/Not today, not today" along 5th Avenue, another street legendary for its shopping. One of the organizers of the NYC protest, who wished to remain anonymous, said no employees from Guess had come out to talk to them (their counterparts at the Rodeo Drive protest said the same). The organizer stated he was a member of the District Council 37 chapter of AFSCME (American Foundation of State, County and Municipal Employees), an organization that helps unions like the MAF Union operate and form. In an earlier statement to Hyperallergic, Lylwyn Esangga of AFSCME District Council 36, said, "In our opinion, this [decision to close] is an anti-union action." Several attempts were made by Hyperallergic to contact the Marciano Art Foundation with no response.

The actions of the MAF Union seems to have inspired art workers unsatisfied with their job conditions on a local level. Employees at the nearby Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), for instance, recently declared their formal intention to form a union, citing "low wages relative to experience, lack of benefits, schedule instability, and high turnover" as concerns. At the Black Friday demonstration on Rodeo Drive, MAF Union organizer Eli Petzold wore a MOCA Union pin on his chest in a gesture of solidarity with the fledgling organization, saying "so much of the nationwide event is showing we're part of big labor family."

The "union" cut its own throat. Tough for them to have no job but they made it happen. Note to "Art Majors" and other unemployable units: Do Not Make It Easy for Owners to Close Something.

The FRITA originated in Cuba back in the 1930 ' s where it was mainly sold as street food. Carts with propane fueled griddles could be easily found in Ha vana's streets selling Fritas. Customers quickly became fans of these street vendors called "Friteros" due to the delicious and almost addictive taste of the FRITA . The Fritas made their way to Miami in the 196 0's as Cuban exiles made Little Havana their new home. The FRITA is a Cuban favorite that is prepared w ith lean ground beef and spiced with paprika, onion, garlic & other tasty spices. It is cooked on a griddle, dashed with a special sauce and placed on a Cuban roll, then it's topped with onions, ketchup and piled high with julienne cut potatoes.
The As with Cuban bread , the origin of the Cuban sandwich is somewhat murky. The sandwich became a common lunch food for workers in both the cigar factories and sugar mills of Cuba and the cigar factories of Ybor City around 1900. At that time, travel between Cuba and Florida was easy, and Cubans frequently sailed back and forth for employment, pleasure, and family visits. By around 1910, however, workers' cafés in Cuba, Ybor City, and the older Cuban encla ve of Key West were serving many such sandwiches daily. In Cuba, the sandwich was served in kiosks, coffee bars and casual restaurants, especially in the big cities such as Havana or Santiago de Cuba . In Tampa's bustling Latin enclaves of Ybor City and West Tampa , it wa s served in mainly in cafes catering to workers in the cigar industry. By the 1960 's The Cuban sandwich was a favorite i n Miami cafeteria s and restaurant menus, as the city had gained a large influx o f Cuban exiles.

The Operative Renault Strike Force is the third of five main Strike Forces on City of Villains. Operative Renault is located in the Port Recluse neighborhood of Sharkhead Isle, to the west of the Technology and Science stores.
Merit Rewards: This activity awards 24 Reward Merits.
The Temple of the Waters is an elusive place where a great treasure lies, the Eye of the Leviathan! This great eye is made of living coral and is reputed to possess powers of an ancient sea goddess. Captain Mako has tasked us with bringing him a piece of the eye so he may reap its power. If you are successful, you too shall share in the reward!
Note that you undertake this mission on behalf of Captain Mako. There are other leaders in Arachnos who seek to undermine Mako's influence, and thus you may come into direct conflict with Arachnos troops who do not serve him. Unless vetoed by another Arachnos leader, your Strike Force is hereby given carte blanche to do as you will in order to achieve Mako's goal.
First order of business: Barracuda was supposed to meet with you herself, but she's late and we're suspecting she ran into some trouble. Here are the coordinates of a cave network where she was following up on a lead to the location of the Temple. Head over to the caves and find Barracuda!
Arachnos intelligence suspects there may be some hero faction who have been shadowing Barracuda. They are to be dealt with appropriately. The official Arachnos designation of your team will be Strike Force Name.
It is crucial you find Barracuda ASAP. Now move!
Somewhere within these damp sea caves is Barracuda. Find her!
If Barracuda dies you fail the mission. Returning to the contact will reset the mission and you have to do it again.
This mystic portal seems inert, and yields no clue to the location of the Temple of the Waters.
Barracuda disappears into the shadows as you turn your eyes towards the Longbow forces marshalled at Agincourt.
Good job on rescuing Barracuda. Now hit the streets and give her the support she needs.
Longbow is still watching Barracuda. Hit the streets and get them off her back. Barracuda must remain free and her information must not fall into the hands of Longbow!
Give Longbow something else to think about besides capturing Barracuda.
Take down those Longbow troops!
I've received word from Barracuda about your success. Looks like Longbow wants to prevent us from succeeding in our goal. Too bad for them.
Barracuda managed to escape the Longbow agents sent to stop her from finding the Temple of the Waters. However, she needs to lie low for a while since the heroes seem intent on capturing her. The task lies with the Strike Force to follow up on the remaining clues which may lead us to the Temple of the Waters.
The Legacy Chain is a group of mystics who have been collecting magical artifacts in order to safeguard them from dangerous and ambitious villains. One of their recent acquisitions was a coral key, an item which may lead us to the Temple of the Waters. The Legacy Chain has set up a warehouse on Sharkhead to store these artifacts until they can smuggle them off the Rogue Isles. Head into the Legacy Chain hideout and search for info on the coral key.
The Legacy Chain has taken extreme measures to prevent villains from stealing these treasures. Watch out for traps they may have set to discourage intruders.
If the coral key is what we think it is, it will lead us to the Temple of the Waters!
You found the secrets of the coral key!
You interrogate the Tellus Lorekeeper. He relates how the coral key is meant to act as a compass, showing the possessor the path to the Temple of the Waters. Unfortunately, an Arachnos assault force led by Fortunatas from Fort Cerebus recently attacked the warehouse and confiscated the key!
The Lorekeeper will spawn with an ambush after finding the correct glowie.
You interrogate the Tellus Lorekeeper. He relates how the coral key is meant to act as a compass, showing the possessor the path to the Temple of the Waters. Unfortunately, an Arachnos assault force led by Fortunatas from Fort Cerberus recently attacked the warehouse and confiscated the key!
Operative Renault authorizes an assault by the Strike Force on Fort Cerberus to steal the coral key! He will of course disavow all knowledge of the assault.
Have you secured the coral key yet? Then go!
You hear the approach of soldiers as Strike Force Name assaults the base!
You have stolen the coral key!
You think you can steal Ghost Widow's treasure? Fools!
Return to us the coral key, desecrators!
You have secured the coral key? Excellent! If what the Legacy Chain lorekeepers say is true, it should lead us right to the Temple of the Waters!
Your efficiency impresses me. Excellent work!
You've done an excellent job securing the coral key which should lead us to the Temple of the Waters. However, this constant interference by Longbow is becoming troublesome and annoying. We need to find who is spearheading these operations against us and put them out of commission! Disrupt Longbow investigations into Barracuda!
Once we put the Longbow agents responsible out of commission we can carry out our task without further interference!
Wring the truth from those Longbow agents! Attack Agincourt in the Nerva Archipelago.
The Longbow agents tell you about Operation Frozen Ocean!
Unlike the previous mission where Longbow had to be defeated in the neighborhood of Agincourt, these Longbow can be defeated anywhere in Nerva Archipelago, which means the ones that con green and blue near the Ferry count.
The Longbow agents tell you more about Operation Frozen Ocean!
The Longbow agents who were attacking you are part of 'Operation Frozen Ocean,' a task force set up to watch Barracuda's activities in the Rogue Isles and counter any major threats. It is lead by a Longbow hero known as Shockstorm based out of Agincourt. Operation Frozen Ocean was Longbow's attempt to prevent Captain Mako from acquiring any special power which might be found in the Temple of the Waters. They were tipped off about Barracuda's activities by Ice Mistral!
Take down Shockstorm and we'll have one less thorn in our side.
Alarms sound throughout the base. Longbow is ready for you!
Alright, troops! Give'em what for!
That should send 'Operation Frozen Ocean' back for a while!
I've informed Captain Mako of your progress, and he is pleased.
We have a bit of a problem. Apparently, the coral key was on its way to Ghost Widow, and she was not pleased to find it missing. Your team was identified as the perpetrators of the assault, and she will stop at nothing to punish those responsible.
Fortunately, one of her Fortunatas may be willing to speak to her on your behalf, but there will be a price. If it'll keep Ghost Widow from enacting vengeance it'll be worth whatever price she asks.
Report back once you have appeased Ghost Widow. You'll get final orders from Barracuda when you return.
Ambush! There will be an ambush by Arachnos.
"Ghost Widow wants your head on a platter, Character!
What are you waiting for? Do you want Ghost Widow to come after you personally? Believe me, you DON'T want that to happen!
I've seen you claw your way up from the mess of Darwin's Landing in an effort to prove yourself as one of Lord Recluse's destined ones. Certain things are forgiven for you, but stealing from one of Lord Recluse's own faction leaders is not one of them, even at the behest of another one. Because you are one of Lord Recluse's chosen I have spoken to Ghost Widow on your behalf. Ghost Widow seeks reparations for your blatant theft. This is non-negotiable: if you seek to gain access to the mystic portal you will need to perform a task for Ghost Widow.
There is a group known as the Banished Pantheon, a mystical group whose shamans feed upon death and suffering. There is a leader of the Banished Pantheon known as Gharbu who lairs in Paragon City. He possesses a magical artifact called the death rattle which Ghost Widow believes would be a worthy replacement for the coral key. Retrieve it for her and she will allow you to use Technician Naylor's portal.
An Arachnos flyer will deliver you to the graveyard in Paragon City. Go now!
Ambush! After talking to Kalinda, there will be an ambush by Arachnos.
"For theft of Arachnos property, you're sentenced to death!"
If this is what it takes to appease Ghost Widow, I suggest you do what Kalinda says.
You depart the Arachnos flyer and head over to the graveyard in Paragon City. Within, you see shambling figures moving about.
You have stolen the death rattle!
Gharbu will rip the flesh from your bones!
This is a primitive-looking rattle with a bone handle and a shrunken skull filled with knucklebones. It is adorned with feathers and covered in dried blood.
Deliver the Death Rattle with all haste! We must have access to that portal!
Ambush! There will be an ambush by Arachnos after leaving the previous mission.
"Don't think you can keep running, scum!"
Ah, the death rattle. Ghost Widow's anger will subside now that she has this.
Go now, and do not cross Ghost Widow again!
So Ghost Widow is appeased? Good. Interference from Longbow is one thing, but direct opposition from another of the faction leaders is quite another. Even Captain Mako is careful not to cross Ghost Widow if he can help it.
Looks like everything is set for the raid on the Temple of the Waters. You have secured the coral key, put Longbow in its place, and have gained access to the portal. The power held in the Eye of the Leviathan will soon be ours!
The temple itself is rumored to have powerful guardians. Barracuda has been gathering weapons to use against the guardians, and wants you to arm up before entering the portal. Head over to the warehouse and retrieve the weapons.
Barracuda procured the weapons from Family arms smugglers who are expecting payment. Barracuda wants these loose ends eliminated if you run across any of them.
What are you waiting for? Barracuda is waiting on you!
You hear Family inside arguing about getting payment for the goods.
You've outlived your usefulness, Strike Force Name!
By order of Barracuda, you're scheduled for extermination!
Inside one of the crates in this mission is the Stolen SMG temporary power. Only the villain that opens the crate will receive it.
This is a sub-machine gun stolen from a create that was part of an arms shipment. You may fire 10 bursts from the SMG before it is exhausted.
Barracuda attacked you? Hrm, most treacherous of her, and foolish—it's unlikely she could have secured the power for the Eye by herself.
I will have to consult with Captain Mako on how to proceed from here.
The incident with Barracuda was unfortunate. Assuming Barracuda survives the altercation, Captain Mako will have words with her. In the meantime, the Strike Force must complete the mission. Enter the Temple of the Waters and retrieve part of the Eye of the Leviathan!
This is the moment we've been waiting for. Find the Eye of the Leviathan!
Did I stutter? GO GET THE EYE!
You got a piece of the Eye of the Leviathan!
Beware, my children! There are those who seek the power of the temple!
By the Leviathan's Eye, they shall suffer a horrible fate!
Excellent work, Strike Force! This piece of the Eye of the Leviathan should serve Captain Mako's needs nicely. You are dismissed!
You have fought and defeated the awakened Eye of the Leviathan in the Temple of the Waters deep beneath Sharkhead Isle.
Upon successful completion of this mission, each villain will randomly earn one of the following temporary powers.
This amulet of living coral is formed from a piece of the Eye of the Leviathan, a gargantuan creature in the Temple of the Waters. This coral amulet can be used to summon coral guardians to fight for you.
This hammer of living coral is formed from a piece of the Eye of the Leviathan, a gargantuan creature in the Temple of the Waters. This coral hammer can be used to smite your enemies with devastating effect. You can use the Coral Hammer for three days.
These shards of living coral are taken from the Eye of the Leviathan, a gargantuan creature in the Temple of the Waters. These magical coral shards can be hurled at your enemies with devastating effect. You can use the coral shards for three days before the magic fades from them.
The Strike Force was called by Operative Renault on Sharkhead Isle on behalf of Barracuda and the great Captain Mako. The goal was none other than the Eye of the Leviathan, a monstrous eye made of living coral which was said to possess great power. Mako wanted the power for himself, and was willing to grant some of its power to those who could bring it to him. The Eye was rumored to be hidden away in the legendary Temple of the Waters. Barracuda was following up on this lead when she failed to make the meeting with the Strike Force. Following the coordinates to a cave where she was last seen, it was found that Longbow was attempting to prevent her from finding the Temple of the Waters. After fighting your way to Barracuda you made your way to an ancient obelisk, only to find it was magically inert, drained of power long ago. In an effort to throw Longbow off of Barracuda's trail, your Strike Force made an attack upon Agincourt while Barracuda escaped.
Operative Renault sent you to investigate another lead to the Temple of the Waters. The Legacy Chain had acquired a magical artifact known as the coral key, reputed to have a link to the Temple. Attacking the warehouse where the Legacy Chain planned to ship it to the mainland, you interrogated their lorekeepers, only to find they had already been attacked by an Arachnos force led by Fortunatas from Fort Cerberus. Operative Renault granted your Strike Force leave to raid Fort Cerberus in order to secure the key, but disavowed all knowledge of the attack. During the assault you encountered Fortunatas who mentioned how the coral key was one of Ghost Widow's new treasures. After defeating a sudden ambush by Coralax Hybrids you managed to escape with the coral key.
Operative Renault felt Longbow was far too interested in your Strike Force activities, and so sent you to derail Longbow's plans. After interrogating Longbow agents at Agincourt you discovered Operation Frozen Ocean, a task force set up to monitor Barracuda's activities in the Rogue Isles and counter any subsequent threats she may raise. Assaulting the Longbow base itself at Agincourt, you found the hero leading Operation Frozen Ocean, a hero by the name of Shockstorm. Interrogating Shockstorm further revealed that the operation was initiated to prevent Captain Mako from gaining further power from the Temple of the Waters. What's more, it was discovered Longbow learned of Captain Mako's designs upon the Temple by none other than Scirocco's right-hand agent, Ice Mistral!
At this point, Operative Renault related Ghost Widow had discovered the raid on Fort Cerberus and was intent on wreaking vengeance on those who stole the coral key! Fortunately, a Fortunata was willing to speak to Ghost Widow on your behalf. Speaking with Kalinda on Mercy Island, she related how reparations had to be made. Travelling to Paragon City, you raided a graveyard overrun by Banished Pantheon in order to retrieve an artifact known as the death rattle from a powerful totem spirit named Gharbu. After bringing the death rattle to Kalinda, she related the item would be enough to sooth Ghost Widow's anger.
Before raiding the temple itself, Operative Renault informed you Barracuda had procured weapons to fight the temple guardians and needed them picked up from a cargo ship at Port Recluse. You encountered some Family intent on payment for the weapons, but after dealing with them found a crate containing only a single SMG. Barracuda and her Arachnos guard ambushed you, attempting to eliminate you so she could seize the power of the Leviathan for herself! Operative Renault was displeased with Barracuda's actions and contacted Captain Mako for further instruction.
Operative Renault took sole control of the Strike Force after Barracuda's betrayal. Captain Mako's direct orders were to raid the Temple of the Waters and steal a piece of the Eye of the Leviathan! Proceeding to a set of ancient tunnels on Sharkhead Isle, you found your way into a set of sea tunnels populated by the Coralax. Deep within the bowels of these passages lay the Temple of the Waters, an ancient place of worship where Calystix the Shaper presided over a mass of Coralax Hybrids! An epic battle was fought, but just when it was thought Calystix was defeated, he used his powers to cause the eye of the Leviathan to come to life! In the end, the Eye was defeated and a piece of it was brought for Captain Mako!
For several issues, the coral temporary powers were not obtainable for unknown reasons.
Part of the Strike Force was also removed for unknown reasons. Due to this, the souvenir text was also altered to reflect this. Around Issue 18(?), the Strike Force was restored to its full length.
The second mission, Cause distraction for Barracuda within Agincourt in Nerva, was originally known as Cause distraction for Barracuda. The title of the mission was amended in Issue 18 presumably due to player confusion at where to fight Longbow to progress the Strike Force.

Project Brotherhood is a health clinic focused on using community outreach and preventive education to meet the needs and improve the health of African American men in the Woodlawn area on the south side of Chicago, Illinois. The clinic is operated by a combination of staff, volunteers, and interns and hosts a variety of free services for members of the community.

Services

Social Support Group
Project Brotherhood offers a weekly social support group facilitated by a licensed social worker. The conversation in these groups can range from current politics, cancer prevention tips, or other topics brought up by the group. During the group, the social worker is available to assist participants with social services and a doctor is on staff to deal with medical concerns. Clients are also able to receive help in terms of fatherhood classes, resume writing, preventive health education, and other services.

A course on meditative Qigong is offered concurrently with the weekly support group.

Health Clinic
The clinic is hosted in the Woodlawn Health Center and is staffed by paid and volunteer doctor's who are able to provide various medical services. These services range from pre-employment physicals to health checkups to treatment of chronic conditions.

Barbershop
Many African American men say that they avoid health clinics due to unkempt appearance, so Project Brotherhood staffs a barber to give haircuts and talk to men about health issues ranging from prostate cancer to HIV.

Recognition

Television
Project Brotherhood was featured on "Black in America", a CNN documentary focusing on various topics and issues relating to the African American population in the United States. In "BIA 2", Project Brotherhood was presented as one of America's pioneers in terms of African American health.

White House visit
The staff of Project Brotherhood were invited to the White House to speak on a panel about black men's health and the HIV epidemic in the African American community. During the panel discussion, Dr. David Malbranche of Emory University stated his belief that Project Brotherhood is a model that should be replicated across the country.

A Musicians Guide To Starting a Band
You're a guitarist, keyboardist, bassist or drummer and you wish to start a band and get gigs.
Here are some suggestions that may help you along in your quest.
First of all, there's equipment. You may have a decent instrument with your own amplification and effects. What about a PA (public audio) system and lights? You know. A mixer, a set of speakers and an amplifier to power those speakers and a lighting system. Now unless you have a bottomless budget, don't get all pumped up and think you need a decent monitor speaker system, a twenty-four channel soundboard, a rack full 5000 watts of power amps, a crossover unit, an equalizer, and effects processor, along with a $5,000 lighting system with lasers and fog machines. Trust me, you don't want to have to lug all that stuff around. You can still be loud enough to shake the drinks off the table with a modest PA and Lighting system. If you are wondering do I need a humidifier for my guitar? Then you can click here to learn more about the importance of humidifiers and how they can help you in increasing the life of your guitar.
Speakers and Lighting:
Sure you can get a pair of bass bins with a suspended 18-inch speaker that handles 800 watts continuous and 1000 watts peak. While you're at it, grab a pair of cabinets to put on top of the bass bins that have a 15″ speaker and a horn (or tweeter) that handle 600 watts continuous and 800 watts peak. Not only will that cost you a mint just for the speakers, but you'll also have to spend big bucks on amps to power those speakers AND put out your back lugging them around.
I've seen bands perform and shake the walls with a set of monitor speakers to hear themselves and a pair of cabinets with 15″ speakers and a horn for their mains. Don't break the bank at first. A 400 watt, powered 12 channel mixer is more than enough to rock the house. You can buy a new system like that with 4 monitor speakers for less than $1500 and if that's too much, you can get by with just the mains and no monitors for about $700 to $1000.
As far as lighting, you can get by with a system that costs about $500 that will enable you to put 4 colored spots on each side of the band.
You don't have to put microphones in front of your guitar amp in most cases and you don't need a 200 watt Marshall stack for a guitar amp. A combo amp with a single 12″ speaker rated at about 40 TUBE watts or 100 SOLID STATE watts that is elevated to waist level behind you will do just fine. If you have a vocal microphone for yourself, your amp will be picked up very well with that Mic. Bass players and go directly into the mixer and hear themselves through the monitors or a 300-watt combo bass amp with a single 15″ speaker will do fine. Keyboardists can do fine with an equivalent setup. As far as drums. Mic the bass (or kick) drum and place two condenser mics ABOVE the drum set. That will pick up the tom-toms, the snare, and the cymbals just fine.
If money is tight, you can usually rent a PA and or Lighting system from a decent sized music store.
So let's say you're the guitarist and you have a PA. Can you sing? If so, are you able to sing lead and play your guitar? How many members do you want in the band? The idea is to keep the number of band members as low as possible. You can make more money and there's not as much gear to set up and tear down. You can get by with as little as 3 members. One on guitar, one on bass and one on drums. To do this, however, as a guitarist, or bassist, you have to be very good or at least able to put leads in on a dime in between chords and the bassists have to be able to fill the gaps during a guitar solo. 4 members (who play instruments) is optimal.
Singers:
A lead singer is someone who takes all of the majority of the lead vocal duties during the performance. That can be one of the guitarists, the keyboardist, the bass player or even the drummer or it can be an additional member who JUST sings and does nothing else. In my opinion, a member who is strictly a vocalist is a waste of money. It's another member to split the money with. Now if you know a vocalist that has an absolutely incredible voice and stage presence that's one thing but remember, "You can always find a decent vocalist who can ALSO play an instrument other than the tambourine" So if you have 2 guitarists, a bass player, and a drummer but need a lead singer, look hard for a keyboardist who also can sing lead. Or if you choose to hire a member who JUST sings, is sure that he or she is singing lead on 100% of the vocals that night.
Most club owners don't give a rat's behind how good or bad your sound. It's a matter of how many people you bring in the club. Advertise and get posters printed up. Tell your friends to stop by. How good the club does that night will determine whether or not you get asked back to play again and that will determine how much money you can ask for in the future. Don't expect to get paid a lot when you first start out. You may have to play for $150 or for the door.
The most important thing to remember is to have fun. Don't expect to get rich or to even make a living as an adult playing in a band. Sure we all want to be the next Nickleback or Blink 182 but most of those famous bands got into it for the fun and the love of music. Getting record deals and becoming stars was the icing on the cake they already have.

Фантомне живлення () — метод подачі живлення постійного струму безпосередньо по сигнальному кабелю. Такий метод найчастіше застосовується при підключенні конденсаторних мікрофонів для живлення вбудованого підсилювача і поляризації сигналу.

На практиці широко використовується напруги фантомного живлення у 48, 24 і 12 В.

Застосування

В звукозапису
Джерела фантомного живлення часто вбудовуються у мікшерні пульти, попередні мікрофонні підсилювачі і подібне обладнання. Мікрофони, що вимагають фантомного живлення, найчастіше підключаються за допомогою роз'єму XLR.

У комп'ютерних мережах

Подачу електричного живлення пристроїв, що підключаються до мереж Ethernet (IP-камери, точки доступу, IP-телефони) описує стандарт IEEE 802.3af.

В активних антенах ефірного телемовлення
Коаксіальним кабелем з'єднані приймальна антена і приймач (телевізор). Сигнал від антени досягає приймача, одночасно з тим, як живлення малошумлячого підсилювача, вмонтованого в антену, подається з боку приймача.

У кабельному телебаченні
Фантомне живлення по магістральному кабелю застосовується для дистанційного резервного живлення магістральних і субмагістральних підсилювачів.

In December Poll, 40% of Americans Agreed with Statement, "The 2020 Presidential Election Was Rigged."
US Elections | US Politics | US Presidential Election 2020
Following the events of 6 January, in which supporters of Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol Building in a vain attempt to disrupt the counting of the votes of the Electoral College, we at Redfield & Wilton Strategies find it worth noting the results of our last poll on 16 December, which provided clear evidence of widespread skepticism regarding the integrity of the 2020 Election.
Overall, a clear majority (57%) of Americans agreed that they have trust in the integrity of the electoral process in the United States. Yet around a quarter (23%) disagreed, while around a fifth (19%) neither agreed nor disagreed. Trust in the electoral process across the entire public rose somewhat compared to our polling throughout September and October, when about 50% affirmed their trust.
However, in the aftermath of the 2020 Election, a sharp partisan dimension has emerged in relation to trust in the integrity of the electoral process. In our final poll on this issue prior to the election, a similar proportion of Joe Biden and Donald Trump voters (53% and 56% respectively) expressed trust in the integrity of the election. By contrast, in our poll on 16 December, just 39% of those who voted to re-elect the President agreed that they trusted in the integrity of the country's electoral process, compared to over three quarters (77%) of Joe Biden's voters. Following the Election, the plurality (45%) of those who voted for Donald Trump distrust in the integrity of the electoral process, compared to only 4% of Joe Biden voters.
Moreover, 40% of all respondents agreed with a statement suggesting that the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged. A slight plurality (45%) disagreed that the election was rigged. The overwhelming majority (79%) of those who supported Joe Biden disagreed that the Election was rigged, while 70% of Donald Trump voters agreed. Among those who did not vote, 32% agreed that the election was rigged whereas 31% disagreed.
Prior to the election, our polling monitored attitudes towards electoral fraud. In particular, our research focused on the public's perception about whether postal voting provided too much of an opportunity for electoral fraud, given the high levels of postal voting expected to take place. In polls conducted throughout September, clear pluralities (45% to 46%) of the American public agreed that mail in voting provides too much opportunity for electoral fraud, while just 30% disagreed. The overwhelming majority (72% to 74%) of Donald Trump voters consistently agreed that mail in voting felt mail-in voting provided an opportunity for fraud, reflecting a claim regularly made by the President himself.
Our research re-visited the topic of electoral fraud following the election. In the aftermath of the vote, President Trump and his team have repeatedly alleged that electoral fraud was widespread. In December, 29% of Americans disagreed with a statement suggesting that the election was (largely) free of electoral fraud. Whereas a slight majority (53%) of the population agreed that the election was largely free of electoral fraud, a majority (53%) of Donald Trump voters disagreed.
A clear majority (55%) of Donald Trump voters did not think that he should concede the election to Joe Biden. Only 29% of his voters believed Donald Trump should concede. Interestingly, support for Donald Trump's continued unwillingness to concede was maintained in mid-December, despite Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell congratulating Joe Biden on his election win the day before this poll.
The President's refusal to concede has confirmed the pre-election expectations of the American public. During our polling in mid-October, a majority (50%) disagreed that the President would concede if it appeared he had lost narrowly, while only around a fifth (21%) agreed that he would concede. Only 26% of the President's likely supporters considered that he would concede, compared to 40% who thought he would not.
In the week prior to the election, those who were voting for both candidates expressed a desire for their candidate to wait to see how the situation developed, even if it appeared their candidate had lost the election on the night of the election and the day that followed.
On 11 December, the Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit by the State of Texas that had asked the court to discard the election results in four battleground states that President Trump lost in November. A slight majority (51%) of the American public said they would trust the Supreme Court to come to a fair decision regarding the outcome of the election, while only around a fifth (22%) would not trust the Supreme Court in this instance. Over a quarter (27%) did not know. Overall trust in the Supreme Court arbitrating on a contested election increased compared to our pre-election polling, when between 42% to 44% said they would trust the Supreme Court to come to a fair decision, and around a third (30-35%) said they would not trust the Court.
Nevertheless, this change in the overall picture masks a deeper, far more dramatic shift. In mid-December, Joe Biden voters (61%) were much more likely than Donald Trump voters (44%) to express trust in the Supreme Court. This breakdown marks a significant change since before the election, when less than a third (29%) of Joe Biden voters said they trusted the Supreme Court, whereas over two thirds of Donald Trump supporters (67%) expressed faith in the Court. Ultimately, the Supreme Court's decision to turn away bids to overturn the results increased the trust Joe Biden voters have in the institution yet decreased the trust of Donald Trump supporters. A quarter (25%) of those who said they voted for Donald Trump say they do not trust the Supreme Court.
While overall trust in the electoral process rose slightly in the aftermath of the Election, confidence in the integrity of the country's democratic system has become more partisan than prior to the election. Furthermore, a huge minority of Americans consider that the election was rigged, and that electoral fraud occurred. In mid-December, supporters of Donald Trump voters mostly did not believe he should concede the election.
