Ali Campbell's version of UB40 featuring Astro and Mickey Virtue are a making a brand new track titled "Reggae Music" available as a free download on their website. According to the band the song is a mission statement in their quest to differentiate themselves from their former band mates in UB40 as the keeper of the band's reggae bonafides.
Fresh from the studio, Ali, Astro and Mickey have produced a brass-laden call out to their fans in the form of this brand new track 'Reggae Music'. The track heralds the triumphant return of UB40 and responds to the recent dialogue between the trio and their former members, by letting the music do the talking. This is just a sign of things to come. How about we let the fans decide?
Trumpeter and vocalist Astro publicly quit the group during a radio interview late last year and immediately connected with Ali Campbell and Virtue. The trio released a statement a few weeks ago announcing "the three founding members (were) back together, performing and recording as UB40 once more" and launched a new UB40 website which included dates for shows across the world.
The five remaining members of UB40 issued a statement on their website and Facebook page last week which indicates they will be taking legal action against Campbell and his band mates.
Give the song a listen and make up your own mind. What do you think?
Fans of 2-Tone have spoken longingly and lovingly of a BBC Arena television documentary titled "Rudies Come Back" that aired during the height of 2 Tone. Until recently the 30 minute documentary had been impossible to find, but a version has popped up on YouTube.
"Rudies Come Back" is hosted by music journalist Adrian Thrills. It was filmed in 1979 and originally aired on the BBC on March 3rd, 1980. It remains the holy grail of documentary footage of the The Specials, The Selecter and the Coventry music scene and captures the 2-Tone movement at its peak.
Interestingly, once Thrills begins to interview the band, many of the members seem tongue tied. Everything seems to revolve Dammers, who was the de facto label head, band leader and A&R man. For a short time over the next couple of years, the band and label were huge. Walt Jabsco and the 2-Tone logo were everywhere you looked. Watching this now, it comes as no surprise that Dammers and the band struggled with the mounting pressure that overnight success had created.
The five members of UB40 issued a statement on their website and Facebook page which seems to suggest they will be suing ex-singer Ali Campbell and former members Mickey Virtue and Astro who announced last week that they were also calling themselves UB40. The original members had kept silent about the announcement until yesterday, when they finally issued a statement of their own calling the move a "desperate attempt by our former band mates to hijack UB40's brand name, business and legacy."

Oh to live in London! Fred Perry recently hosted a Terry Hall Retrospective in conjunction with London Fashion week in early January. The invitation only event featured Hall backed by his band mates from The Specials -- Horace Panter on bass and John Bradbury on drums -- and also featured Ian Broudie (guitar) and Angie Pollock (piano) from The Lightning Seeds. Hall and Broudie collaborated on a number of sings in the early and mid-90's including the track "Sense" (which featured Hall on the song and the video) reaching No. 31 on the UK Singles Chart in 1992.
Hall's set included songs from The Specials, Fun Boy Three and Colourfield, as well as tracks from some of his favourite songwriters and artists (Talking Heads "Heaven") which demonstrated the depth and breadth of his musical interests, capabilities and inspirations.
Check out edited footage of the band's entire performance as well as full clips of "Sense" and "Our Lips Are Sealed" below.
Post by Through The Years - Terry Hall.
While the news is not surprising, given that Astro joined Campbell's band for a show last year following an announcement that he had quit the band, what is surprising is that the three former members are planning to call themselves UB40. Clearly, the band featuring Campbell's brother Robin, drummer Jim Brown, saxophonist Brian Travers, bassist Earl Falconer and percussionist Norman Hassan retain the rights to the name. UB40 have not issued a statement yet, but fans from both sides of the UB40 divide have weighed in with their thoughts about the move on each band's social media outlets. The bottom line is that a once proud band with a great back catalog of music has been reduced and diminished by never ending drama. UB40 is dead. Long live UB40!
Bad Manners To Play Coachella 2014!
Someone at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival must really like ska! For the fourth year out of the last five, a 2-Tone era ska band will be part of the prestigious line-up.
In 2010 it was The Specials, who were touring the U.S. for the first time since the early 1980's. In 2012, Madness brought their nutty sounds to the desert festival, and last year it was The Selecter who wowed the crowd with a blazing mid-afternoon set. This year Buster Bloodvessel and Bad Manners will make an appearance on Sunday April 13th and Sunday April 20th. The band last toured the U.S. in 2011 and it remains to be seen if they will add more North American tour dates around their appearances.
It also remains unclear which band members will accompany Buster to the U.S. Over the last 20 years or so, he has toured with shifting group of back-up musicians and during the the band's 2011 U.S. tour, recruited mostly young U.S.-based ska musicians to back him. Buster appears to have a band of young UK-based musicians backing him now and they performed at the Islington Academy in London this past December. Watch the band perform a slew of their hits including "Lorraine," "Special Brew," "Lip Up Fatty," and "This Is Ska/My Girl Lollipop."
Though unclear, it is possible the Coachella shows could serve as a reunion of the original band that formed at in 1976 at Woodbery Down Comprehensive in London. In December 2012, founding members of the band met for the first time in decades. The meeting was successful and this past summer seven of the original nine members met again. The 'Bad Manners Originals' who attended the reunion were; Andy Marson (alto sax), Paul Hyman (trumpet), Alan Sayag (harmonicas), Chris Kane (tenor sax), David Farren (bass), Martin Stewart (keyboards) and Brian Tuitt (drums).
Rude Boy George EP "Take One" Now Out! -- New Wave Goes Ska!
Happy 2014 to all MOTB blog readers!
I'm excited to announce that the Rude Boy George digital EP "Take One" is finally out! The band concept was hatched a year ago during a dinner I had with Bigger Thomas lead singer Roger Apollon Jr. and Duff Guide To Ska blogger and former Moon Records honcho Stephen Shafer before we saw a Morrissey show in Brooklyn, New York. We wanted to combine our love of ska and reggae with 80's new wave. Roger coined the band name (the other option was Flock Of Scooters!) and we were off and running.
We recruited Across The Aisle singer Megg Howe, The Toasters piano man Dave Barry and Bigger Thomas members Spencer Katzman (guitar) and James Cooper (drums/percussion) and started rehearsing as much as possible. We shared a few early rehearsal recordings with ex-English Beat bassist and LA-based producer Wayne Lothian who loved what he heard. Before we knew it, we had recorded songs with Wayne at Bill Laswell's studio in West Orange, New Jersey. Wayne shared the tracks with English Beat toaster Antonee First Class who added his vocal talents on our reggae version of The Romantic's "Talking In Your Sleep" and we knew we had something special. Below is the fruit of our labor for your listening pleasure.
Truth be told, the twin pillars of 2-Tone ska and 80's new wave music sustained me through much of a challenging youth during the 1980's. 2-Tone revealed harsh economic, social and racial injustices with a power and a fury that was undeniable but also danceable. It forever influenced my world view and moved me to learn an instrument and start a band that I've played in for 25 years. Though I tend to be a religious secularist, I've worshipped at the Church of 2-Tone for most of my life.
So if you like the idea of some of your favorite 80's new wave songs wrapped in a loving ska and reggae embrace, we hope you will consider giving our versions a spin. Many thanks!


For the medical term, see Rigor (medicine). For the sign of death, see Rigor mortis.
Look up rigour in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Rigour (British English) or rigor (American English; see spelling differences) describes a condition of stiffness or strictness. Rigour frequently refers to a process of adhering absolutely to certain constraints, or the practice of maintaining strict consistency with certain predefined parameters. These constraints may be environmentally imposed, such as "the rigours of famine"; logically imposed, such as mathematical proofs which must maintain consistent answers; or socially imposed, such as the process of defining ethics and law.
Rigour comes to English through old French (13th c., Modern French rigueur) meaning "stiffness", which itself is based on the Latin rigorem (nominative rigor) "numbness, stiffness, hardness, firmness; roughness, rudeness", from the verb rigere "to be stiff". The noun was frequently used to describe a condition of strictness or stiffness, which arises from a situation or constraint either chosen or experienced passively. For example, the title of the book Theologia Moralis Inter Rigorem et Laxitatem Medi roughly translates as "mediating theological morality between rigour and laxness". The book details, for the clergy, situations in which they are obligated to follow church law exactly, and in which situations they can be more forgiving yet still considered moral. Rigor mortis translates directly as the stiffness (rigor) of death (mortis), again describing a condition which arises from a certain constraint (death).
Intellectual rigour is a process of thought which is consistent, does not contain self-contradiction, and takes into account the entire scope of available knowledge on the topic. It actively avoids logical fallacy. Furthermore, it requires a sceptical assessment of the available knowledge. If a topic or case is dealt with in a rigorous way, it means that it is dealt with in a comprehensive, thorough and complete way, leaving no room for inconsistencies.
Scholarly method describes the different approaches or methods which may be taken to apply intellectual rigour on an institutional level to ensure the quality of information published. An example of intellectual rigour assisted by a methodical approach is the scientific method, in which a person will produce a hypothesis based on what they believe to be true, then construct experiments in order to prove that hypothesis wrong. This method, when followed correctly, helps to prevent against circular reasoning and other fallacies which frequently plague conclusions within academia. Other disciplines, such as philosophy and mathematics, employ their own structures to ensure intellectual rigour. Each method requires close attention to criteria for logical consistency, as well as to all relevant evidence and possible differences of interpretation. At an institutional level, Peer review is used to validate intellectual rigour.
Intellectual rigour is a subset of intellectual honesty—a practice of thought in which ones convictions are kept in proportion to valid evidence. Intellectual honesty is an unbiased approach to the acquisition, analysis, and transmission of ideas. A person is being intellectually honest when he or she, knowing the truth, states that truth, regardless of outside social/environmental pressures. It is possible to doubt whether complete intellectual honesty exists—on the grounds that no one can entirely master his or her own presuppositions—without doubting that certain kinds of intellectual rigour are potentially available. The distinction certainly matters greatly in debate, if one wishes to say that an argument is flawed in its premises.
The setting for intellectual rigour does tend to assume a principled position from which to advance or argue. An opportunistic tendency to use any argument at hand is not very rigorous, although very common in politics, for example. Arguing one way one day, and another later, can be defended by casuistry, i.e. by saying the cases are different.
In the legal context, for practical purposes, the facts of cases do always differ. Case law can therefore be at odds with a principled approach; and intellectual rigour can seem to be defeated. This defines a judge's problem with uncodified law. Codified law poses a different problem, of interpretation and adaptation of definite principles without losing the point; here applying the letter of the law, with all due rigour, may on occasion seem to undermine the principled approach.
Mathematical rigour can refer both to rigorous methods of mathematical proof and to rigorous methods of mathematical practice (thus relating to other interpretations of rigour).
Mathematical rigour is often cited as a kind of gold standard for mathematical proof. Its history traces back to Greek mathematics, especially to Euclid's Elements.
Until the 19th century, the treatise was seen as extremely rigorous and profound, but, during that century, it was realized the work assumed some conditions that were not stated and also could not be proved (e.g. two circles can intersect in a point, some point is within an angle, and figures can be superimposed on each other). This was contrary to the idea of rigorous proof where all conditions need to be stated and nothing can be assumed. New foundations were developed using the axiomatic method to address the lack of rigour in the Elements.
During the 19th century, the term 'rigorous' began to be used to describe decreasing levels of abstraction when dealing with calculus which eventually became known as analysis. The works of Cauchy added rigour to the older works of Euler and Gauss. The works of Riemann added rigour to the works of Cauchy. The works of Weierstrass added rigour to the works of Riemann, eventually culminating in the arithmetization of analysis. Starting in the 1870s, the term gradually came to be associated with Cantorian set theory.
Mathematical rigour can be defined as amenability to algorithmic proof checking. Indeed, with the aid of computers, it is possible to check some proofs mechanically. Formal rigour is the introduction of high degrees of completeness by means of a formal language where such proofs can be codified using set theories such as ZFC (see automated theorem proving).
Most mathematical arguments are presented as prototypes of formally rigorous proofs. The reason often cited for this is that completely rigorous proofs, which tend to be longer and more unwieldy, may obscure what is being demonstrated. Steps which are obvious to a human mind may have fairly long formal derivations from the axioms. Under this argument, there is a trade-off between rigour and comprehension. Some argue that the use of formal languages to institute complete mathematical rigour might make theories which are commonly disputed or misinterpreted completely unambiguous by revealing flaws in reasoning.
First, there is the general question, sometimes called Wigner's Puzzle, "how it is that mathematics, quite generally, is applicable to nature?" However, scientists believe that its record of successful application to nature justifies the study of mathematical physics.
Second, there is the question regarding the role and status of mathematically rigorous results and relations[clarification needed]. This question is particularly vexing in relation to quantum field theory, where computations often produce infinite values for which a variety of non-rigorous work-arounds have been devised.
Rigour in the classroom is a hotly debated topic amongst educators. Generally speaking, however, classroom rigour consists of multi-faceted, challenging instruction and correct placement of the student. Students excelling in formal operational thought tend to excel in classes for gifted students. Students who have not reached that final stage of cognitive development, according to developmental psychologist Jean Piaget, can build upon those skills with the help of a properly trained teacher.

On Energy Tax Policy, We're Doing It Backwards
By Jason Hartke & Heather Reams
August 14, 2019 at 5:00 am ET
The United States has long had tax incentives encouraging domestic energy production, for everything from oil and gas to nuclear and wind power. We do this for many reasons: to ensure stable supplies of home-grown power, to make energy more affordable, and to incentivize cleaner, greener options.
It all makes sense, except that we've left behind the single best solution we have for meeting these goals: energy efficiency. As swaths of the country face unrelenting heat waves, we currently have no federal tax incentives encouraging consumers and businesses to use their energy more wisely, such as through buying a more efficient air conditioner or installing insulation in a home.
This is an egregious hole in federal policy. For all the talk of a Green New Deal or a Green Real Deal, fixing this gap in the tax code is one thing Congress could pass tomorrow, with bipartisan support, to significantly reduce carbon emissions while simultaneously stimulating economic activity.
To give you an idea of how big of a mistake this is, consider that experts say energy efficiency can account for nearly half of the carbon emissions reductions we need to meet global climate goals. It is the fastest, largest and most cost-effective solution we have.
Efficiency is also an engine of economic growth and increased productivity. It is by far the largest job creator in the clean energy economy, supporting more than 2.3 million jobs nationwide — good-paying jobs such as retrofitting buildings or manufacturing high-efficiency components and equipment. And it saves consumers and businesses money, freeing up billions of dollars that can be invested elsewhere.
Any politicians who say they are looking for climate change solutions that protect American economic growth and competitiveness need to look no further than energy efficiency. Yet Congress is hardly giving these incentives the time of day.
Specifically, Congress allowed three key efficiency incentives for homes and buildings to expire at the end of 2017. One of these gives homeowners a tax credit for improving the efficiency of their home or buying high-efficiency equipment.
Another encourages home builders to build tighter, more efficient new homes. And a third encourages efficiency improvements in commercial buildings.
Homes and buildings alone account for 40 percent of U.S. energy consumption and nearly as large a share of carbon emissions. Many of them will be in use for 50 or 100 years, so by failing to encourage efficiency now, we are effectively locking in wasted energy and unnecessary carbon emissions for decades.
In addition to preventing waste, updated incentives would create tens of thousands of jobs. History has shown that home and building owners will change their behavior with meaningful incentives. They'll install insulation or more efficient windows. They'll buy a new high-efficiency air conditioner or water heater.
That not only stimulates manufacturing at factories across the United States, but it puts contractors and construction crews to work in residential and commercial buildings. In fact, 6 in 10 of the nearly 2.3 million energy efficiency jobs in the United States work in construction.
But these incentives must be modernized and reinstated. The expired incentives were largely written 15 years ago. What was an energy-efficient air conditioner or furnace then isn't today, and we need to modernize the incentives to better reflect today's technology and markets.
The benefits to consumers, businesses and the planet would be significant. A Department of Energy analysis published in 2018 looking at just five product categories under the expired homeowner incentive (central air conditioners, gas and electric water heaters, gas furnaces, and electric heat pumps) found that increasing the incentives and extending them for 10 years would increase sales by 278 percent. That would translate to $52 billion in energy savings — equivalent to eliminating the electricity use of nearly half of all U.S. households for a year.
The direct impact on both carbon emissions and economic activity is why the incentives have broad support from the environmental community as well as manufacturers, contractors, engineers and architects. It's also why this should be an easy win for Congress.
Jason Hartke is president of the Alliance to Save Energy, an energy efficiency advocacy organization, and Heather Reams is executive director of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions, a conservative clean-energy advocacy group.

New Finds Upsets Theory of Planet Formation	2010-04-17
Posted by clype in Discovery, Glasgow, Science, Scotland.
Tags: contrarotating planets, exoplanets, Hot Jupiters, transiting planets
Nine new planets have just been discovered, and unlike the planets in our solar system, two of them are orbiting in the opposite direction to the rotation of their host star. This — along with a recent study of other 'exoplanets' — upsets the dominant current theory of how planets are formed.
There is a preponderance of these planets with their orbital spin going opposite to that of their parent star.
These and other related discoveries are being presented at 'The UK National Astronomy Meeting' in Glasgow, Scotland, this week.
2010 RASNAM
The 2010 Royal Astronomical Society National Astronomy Meeting, or RAS NAM, will be hosted by the University of Glasgow at the main campus in Glasgow's West End. This meeting also incorporates both UK Solar Physics (UKSP) and Magnetosphere, Ionosphere and Solar-Terrestrial (MIST) meetings.
This is the first public mention of the new planets and the research will be described in upcoming scientific journal articles.
According to Mr. Tim Lister PhD, a project scientist at at 'Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network' ('LCOGT') affiliated with 'The University of California, Santa Barbara':
'Planet evolution theorists now have to explain how so many planets came to be orbiting like this'.
Dr.Lister leads a major part of the observational campaigns along with Ms.Rachel Street of 'LCOGT', Mr. Andrew Cameron of 'The University of St. Andrews' and Mr. Didier Queloz, of 'The Geneva Observatory'.
By adding these nine new 'transiting' planets, the number of known transiting planets has grown from 71 to 80.
A transit occurs when a celestial body passes in front of its host star and blocks some of the star's light. This type of eclipse causes a small drop in the apparent brightness of the star and enables the planet's mass, diameter, density, and temperature to be deduced. The planets are called 'exoplanets' because they are located outside of our solar system.
After the initial detection of the new 'exoplanets' by 'The Wide Angle Search for Planets' ('The WASP'), the team of astronomers combined data from LCOGT's 2 metre Faulkes Telescopes in Hawaii and Australia with follow-up from other telescopes to confirm the discoveries and characterise the planets.
The planets are revolving around nearby stars in our galaxy within 1000 light years of our sun. Their stars are located in the constellations Pegasus, Virgo, Pisces, and Andromeda in the northern hemisphere, and Eridanus, Hydra, Cetus, and Phoenix in the southern hemisphere.
The nine transiting exoplanets are called 'Hot Jupiters'.
These planets are giant gas planets that orbit close to their star. In the 15 years since the first 'Hot Jupiters' were discovered, their origin has been a puzzle. Because they are both large and close, they are easier to detect from their gravitational effect on their stars, and more likely to transit the disk of the star. Most of the first 'exoplanets' discovered were of this type.
The cores of giant planets are thought to form from a mix of rock and ice particles found only in the cold outer reaches of planetary systems. 'Hot Jupiters', therefore, must form far from their star and subsequently migrate inwards over the course of a few million years.
Many astronomers believed this could happen due to gravitational interactions with the disk of dust from which they formed, which might have also subsequently formed Earth-like rocky planets. However, these new results suggest that this may not be the whole story — because it does not explain how planets end up orbiting in a direction contrary that of the disk.

Murray Candidate for FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week
](http://www.nfl.com/voting/players-air-and-ground/2016/REG/10)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Titans RB DeMarco Murray is a candidate for FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week after rushing for 123 yards on 17 carries (7.2 avg.) and a touchdown in a 47-25 win over the Green Bay Packers.
Click HERE to vote for DeMarco Murray!
Other Murray notes from Sunday's game:
MURRAY ACCOMPLISHES A RARE FEAT FOR A NON-QB:** Running back DeMarco Murray scored a touchdown on a 75-yard run and added his first career touchdown pass, a 10-yarder to tight end Delanie Walker. He became the first Titans non-quarterback since Earl Campbell in 1980 (Sept. 7 at Pittsburgh) to rush for a touchdown and pass for a touchdown in the same game. The only other time it happened in franchise history was 1962, when Billy Cannon accomplished the feat (Sept. 9 at Buffalo). Murray became the first non-quarterback with a touchdown run of 75 or more yards and a touchdown pass in a single game since Pittsburgh's John Henry Johnson on Dec. 11, 1960 (vs. Philadelphia). Murray was the first NFL non-quarterback to complete a touchdown pass in 2016. The last was fellow Titans running back Antonio Andrews at the New York Jets on Dec. 13, 2015.
MURRAY HITS 100 AGAIN:** With 17 carries for 123 yards and a touchdown, DeMarco Murray notched his 26th career 100-yard rushing game (including one playoff game) and his fifth such performance with the Titans. He became the first Titans player to rush for at least 100 yards five times in a season since Chris Johnson in 2012.
MURRAY'S SECOND LONGEST CAREER RUN: On the Titans' first play from scrimmage, DeMarco Murray ran 75 yards for a touchdown. The play was the second-longest run of Murray's career, behind only a 91-yarder as a rookie with the Dallas Cowboys against the St. Louis Rams on Oct. 23, 2011. It was the Titans' longest rushing attempt since Marcus Mariota's 87-yard touchdown run against Jacksonville on Dec. 6, 2015.
MURRAY TIES EARL CAMPBELL'S FRANCHISE RECORD:** With his 75-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, DeMarco Murray tied Earl Campbell's franchise record, set in 1979, of five consecutive games with a rushing touchdown. Murray also became the sixth player in franchise history to score a touchdown of any variety in five consecutive games, joining wide receiver Bill Groman (eight straight games with a touchdown in 1961), running back Hoyle Granger (five in 1967), Campbell (five in 1979), wide receiver Chris Sanders (five in 1995) and wide receiver Kenny Britt (five in 2010).
MURRAY ADDS A BIG CATCH: DeMarco Murray posted two receptions for 33 yards, including a key 35-yard catch on third down that qualified as the second-longest reception of his career.

The Department of Humanities at INN (campus Hamar) and the School of Education at University of Zambia have been granted a NORPART (Norwegian Partnership Programme for Global Academic Cooperation) project. Only 21 projects out of 114 applications were granted!
The University of Zambia (UNZA) and former Hedmark University of Applied Sciences (now Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, INN) have a long history of cooperation which is now crowned by the allocation of a NORPART project with a budget of over 4 Million NOK.
The project "LEMS - Literacy Education in Multilingual Settings" aims at enhancing the quality of education on Master and PhD level at UNZA and at INN through internationalization and academic cooperation in the field of literacy education in multilingual settings. The project will start in 2017 and end in 2021 and is expected to include: a symposium, an international conference, student exchange of more than 30 Master students, 2 PhD students and 20 academic staff.
NORPART is a partnership programme for cooperation between higher education institutions in Norway and selected developing countries and it is administered by the Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Education (SIU). Only 21 of the 144 applications were granted and in the evaluation of the LEMS project it was particularly emphasized that the project will also contribute to much-needed internationalization in the teacher education in Norway, also by offering work placements in Zambia.
Professor Anne Marit Danbolt at INNs Department of Humanities is the project leader.


ATTENTION: If you have a lot of walk by traffic, this will reel the new patients in | New Patient Systems Inc.
One of my new LED lights was dying the other day and it kept turning on and off randomly. When guests were over, I noticed they kept looking at it whenever it would do that (out of the corner of their eye).
It's an evolutionary trait that we as humans tend to notice CHANGES in our environment and ignore everything else.
On the same token, ever try talking to your spouse when their favorite show or game was on? Good luck.
Attention is what we need here. And we need it FIRST before anything else.
So when we are attracting new patients, we have to take into account that they won't read / listen/ watch what we want them to if we don't have their attention first.
Have a TV in the window facing outward and either a Google Chromecast or Roku stick. They are cheap and stick into the HDMI plug on the TV. Then you can upload pictures and short animations into the stick and the TV will display it. You can control it with your phone or PC.
The brightness and colours of the TV coupled with any animation grabs attention fast.
This way you can display and test different offers, show your reviews, different educational materials and whatever you want on a rotating schedule.
P.S. There is a service that offers that for you but it's $200 to start and $50 a month (not including the TV cost), but that's a rip off since you can do it yourself for just the cost of the stick and TV and never need to spend another dime.
P.P.S. You can also use is in your operatories to display different educational materials or offers to your existing patients.

Sony's PlayStation 5 won't outperform Google's Stadia. Does it matter?
It just doesn't matter how fast the PlayStation 5 will be
By Matthew S. Smith	 May 22, 2019
The hype for Sony's upcoming PlayStation 5 is growing, spurred most recently by a Sony-held investor conference where the company showed how the new console's solid state drive will improve load times. It's an impressive improvement, to be sure, changing the load time of a select Spider-Man scene from over eight seconds to under one. Less is known about the graphics horsepower of the next-gen console, but that hasn't stopped speculation that it'll be a powerhouse on par with many high-end gaming PCs.
It's not surprising for new hardware to send gamer's hearts aflutter. It's a tale as old as gaming itself. Yet times have changed. A new console used to mean a major leap forward that could make entirely new genres possible. Today's multi-platform, cloud-centric world has changed that. It doesn't matter how fast the PlayStation 5 will be – but that doesn't mean Sony is in trouble.
No one outruns the cloud
Sony can't win the performance war with Google, or Microsoft, or Amazon, or any other major company with plans to throw its hat in the cloud gaming arena.
Data centers are simply a better environment for extreme performance. Google has quoted the performance of a single Stadia instance at 10.7 teraflops, which is almost twice that of Microsoft's Xbox One X, and two and half times better than the PlayStation 4 Pro's 4.2 teraflops. Stadia will also have solid state storage and 16GB of RAM.
As awesome as that sounds, it undersells the real potential of cloud gaming. Listing specifications makes it sound like Stadia will more-or-less rent a console kept in Google's data center, but that's not how a modern data center works. There's not going to be a rack of hardware with your name on it. Data centers are built to scale, which means a customer can access as little or as much power as they need (and pay for).
So, to put it simply, Google could decide to let gamers use two Stadia instances in tandem. Three. Four. Or maybe they allow unlimited access to GPU resources, or unlimited access to memory. I don't think it'd be as simple as flipping a switch (the fact that modern games are built for relatively fixed hardware will be a pain point), but it's the inevitable end point. Cloud services are going to sell themselves on ease-of-use. Eventually, all the hardware claims will fall away, replaced by a "it just works" pitch and promo reels of jaw-dropping visuals.
The PlayStation 5 can't hope to compete with that.
It's possible, for sure, that Sony might release a very powerful PS5 console in hopes it can get ahead of the threat cloud gaming presents and gain favor among "core gamers" who appreciate stunning graphics.
However, every effort to improve performance will push up the console's price, and that becomes a Catch-22. I've estimated the PS5 will release at $500, which is more than most gamers will want to pay. Even that price point represents a console that's merely on par with cloud gaming platforms in raw technical grunt. Exceeding it would require a more lavish, and expensive, piece of kit.
Unfortunately, that piece of kit will also rapidly go out of date. The long-standing battle between console and PC gamers provides all the history we need. Consoles often rival or exceed PCs in visual quality at their initial release, but they always fall behind after a few years because of the PC's unending upgrade cycle. Cloud gaming will be the same story.
Even Sony knows this is a problem. While the company's claims about Spider-Man load times on the PlayStation 5 have grabbed headlines, it spent more time talking about PS Now and its plan to compete in cloud gaming. Sony thinks cloud gaming with surge in popularity over the next few years and hopes to compete.
You play games, not hardware
The PlayStation 5 has clear obstacles ahead of it. It already feels obsolete. That's a bit unfair, to be sure – Google's Stadia has yet to prove itself, after all, and the exact plans of Amazon and Microsoft remain uncertain. Still, the hype is in the air. Cloud gaming is coming and the people in charge of making game hardware, Sony included, seem convinced it'll be a hit.
But don't worry, PlayStation fans. There is hope.
Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, has confidence that gamers will flock to PlayStation in all its forms. Why? The games. "I humbly submit that no competitor, existing or potential, can match us in these areas," he said with confidence during Sony's investor day. "These areas," of course, are PlayStation's original IP, brand, and community.
It's a key point. The increasing irrelevance of hardware cuts both ways. Yes, it means that the PlayStation 5 will have trouble keeping up with cloud gaming. But it also means the hardware edge cloud gaming offers isn't an insurmountable advantage. Gamers don't just pick based on performance. If they did, the Xbox One X would outsell the Switch, but the opposite is true. The PlayStation 4 Pro is also less capable than the Xbox One X but, again, the Xbox console is less popular.
I don't have to explain why. You already know. Sony and Nintendo have better games. You buy a PlayStation to play Spider-Man, God of War, and The Last of Us. You buy a Switch to play Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon. You buy an Xbox One to play…well, for the most part, you just don't buy an Xbox One.
That, of course, is where Google's Stadia and other similar services, like Nvidia's GeForce Now, currently fall short. Google first demoed what would become Stadia by offering up access to Assassin's Creed Odyssey on Project Stream. It worked well enough. But Assassin's Creed is a cross-platform franchise. It's available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC, as well as PC-based cloud gaming services and, in Japan, on Switch (again through cloud gaming). Few gamers will join Stadia just to play a game like Odyssey.
They would join Stadia to play a new, exclusive game, one that somehow uses the scale of cloud gaming to offer a larger or more complex game world than anything that's come before. Google has hinted at that in its marketing for Stadia so far. But if that game is in development, well, they're not talking about it yet.
PlayStation isn't a console. It's a brand.
PlayStation's story has followed an intriguing arc. The original succeeded because it applied Sony's experience building entertainment to the home console, transforming it from a relative niche to a living room icon. Today, however, PlayStation is much different. Gamers flock to the brand not because of the console, but because the wide variety of both cross-platform and exclusive games it offers. No one, not even Nintendo, has a more attractive line-up of mainstream games.
That's a massive strength. It transcends technology. The power and convenience of Google Stadia, or Project xCloud, or any cloud-based competitor, can't easily beat it. Just ask Microsoft, which tried and failed – over the span of a decade – to build its own collection of original IP like Halo, Gears of War, and Crackdown. It worked. A bit. For awhile. But Microsoft couldn't keep it working for long.
The PlayStation 5 hype will build to a crescendo over the coming year, and for good reason. A new console is always exciting for gamers. Still, as you read about it, and its emerging competitors, remember that raw performance is not the point. Gaming is about the games. A faster GPU is fun to gawk at, but it's The Last of Us 2 and God of War 2 that'll have you forking over up to $500 for Sony's new hotness.

I follow over 600 accounts on Instagram. Almost all of them are beauty releated accounts. It was inevitable that my feed would be filled with pictures of the Colourpop Super Shock Shadows. With a huge shade range, there is something for everyone. I've stuck to only getting shimmer and metallic shades, and even then, there are almost too many to choose from. I've raved about Colourpop on my blog before, but they're my favourite affordable brand. And with products this gorgeous, can you blame me?
When these first launched my feed was inundated with pictures of these cute little lip oils. Everyone was raving about how hydrating they were, how good they smelt and what a pretty wash of colour they left on the lips. I was sold. They were mine. I love them and they have been some of my most used lip products this past year.
Now I know I'm not the only one that fell in love at first double tap with the Glow Kits. Four generously sized pans for the price of one high end highlight? Colour coordinated to fit a theme with cute names and stunning marketing campaigns, I was a goner. Not to mention, the Gleam Glow Kit (please bring it back, ABH, please!) had a shade named Hard Candy, which is the name of the song I got the name Other Summers from. I can't resist anything that reminds me of a song or band I like, so it was mine.
I'm actually almost proud of how long I resisted jumping on the Kylie Cosmetics band wagon. For months and months I was watching the people I follow receive, review and swatch them. When I actually got them, it was a total impulse buy, but I have no regrets. They're so pretty and they work well and they smell like dessert. I'm not in a rush to place another order, but I'm not going to rule it out either.
So this is less of an Instagram Made Me Buy It item and more of an Instagram Made Me Pester My Boyfriend Until He Got Them For Me item, but let's include it anyway. I noticed these brushes starting to pop up as props in photos. They were just so pretty. I had just brought a house, so I wanted to save my money, which is where the whole 'show someone what you want enough times that they buy it so they don't have to look at them anymore' thing came into play. Thanks Alex, for making my brush dreams come true. And thanks to all of the Instagram accounts I follow for getting me obsessed with them.
This one is a little different. I didn't fall in love with the look of the palette. In fact, I was slightly annoyed by it. Usually I'm all for cute makeup packaging, but this was right on the borderline of being too cute. But then the close up shots of the shades started popping up on my feed. Almond Truffle, Cashew Chew and Pecan Praline were so different to any of the other shadows in my collection. So I picked it up, because I have no self control and will purchase a whole palette for three shades. Oh well!
Is there any makeup that you added to your collection because you fell in love with them on IG?
Omg, I have so many things that instagram made me buy. This is such a heart warming post. I love it.
I am exactly the same! I buy so much stuff because I've been told to on Instagram haha!! I have a few of the Juicy Shakers. They are awesome.
I'm with you on the Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks. They are beautiful.
They're so beautiful that throwing them in my handbag feels almost wrong, they should be on display!

News > Spokane
Up to 8 inches of snow expected to fall on Spokane starting Friday
UPDATED: Thu., Jan. 9, 2020
(National Weather Service)
By Chad Sokol and Emma Epperly The Spokesman-Review
Anyone planning to leave Spokane this weekend may want to reconsider: The National Weather Service says a storm could dump up to 8 inches of snow Friday through Saturday, creating hazardous conditions on roads and highways in the region.
"The main event is going to be coming by late morning Friday and tapering off Saturday afternoon," said Robin Fox, a meteorologist at the weather service's Spokane office. "It's going to affect travel especially Friday – people trying to get home from work or school."
The snow is expected to snarl traffic on Interstate 90 from Ritzville into North Idaho, on Highway 195 from Spokane to Uniontown and on Highway 2 in the West Plains area.
The Washington Department of Transportation said crews "will be out in force" to maintain highways and urged drivers to use caution when passing snow plows, which have limited rearview visibility.
Fox said temperatures in Spokane are expected to hover around freezing Friday, with snow continuing on and off through Saturday.
Temperatures could reach into the mid-30s on Saturday but will drop again Sunday and even lower next week, she said.
The storm is expected to blanket Eastern Washington and North Idaho, with the heaviest amounts – 6 to 8 inches – falling on Spokane, Colville, Coeur d'Alene, Sandpoint, Kellogg and St. Maries, according to a weather service forecast updated Wednesday evening.
The weather service said there's also potential for a second significant storm on Sunday.
Spokane has experienced breezy, gusty conditions this week, but the wind should die down as the cold front arrives this weekend.
"We could see some gusts, maybe up to 20 miles an hour, but that's lighter compared to what we've seen the last couple days," Fox said.
The cold weather could make for safer skiing conditions after a Tuesday avalanche that killed two people, injured five others and left one person unaccounted for as of Wednesday evening at the Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg.
"The colder air should make that snowpack more stable," Fox said, "although they're getting a lot of snow right snow, so it could still be an issue until things settle down a bit."
The weather service urged drivers to use extra caution Wednesday afternoon as snow resumed falling on Stevens Pass in the Cascades. The Department of Transportation, meanwhile, closed eastbound lanes of I-90 on Snoqualmie Pass due to spinouts and collisions.

You can create your own co-parenting calendar (on your own or with the other parent) or you can work with an attorney or legal professional and have them create it.
The key to creating detailed holiday custody arrangements is to make sure your entire custody schedule is thorough and complete.
The court will expect separating parents to come up with a fair shared custody schedule that promotes the infant's best interest. If parents cannot agree on a custody schedule, the court will implement one of its own.
Preparing a custody schedule for a mediation session is important because it lets you use your opinions and experience as a parent to work out an agreement with the other parent.
A shared custody schedule for newborns begins when both parents meet to discuss how they will divide up the newborn's time between them so that it is developmentally appropriate.
Depending on factors such as your children's age, maturity, school schedule and special needs, you and the other parent can work together to create a workable schedule that offers the least disruption to your kids, yet gives each parent plenty of quality time.
A shared custody schedule for teenagers will help separated parents provide consistency, support and one-on-one time with their teenager, who is working toward independence.
It may seem simple to create a custody schedule by dividing up days on the calendar. However, that will not meet your toddler's needs for proper growth and development.
A shared custody schedule for young children determines where your children will be at any time on any given day, whether it's with you, the other parent or a third party such as school or day care.
A holiday custody schedule is the part of your visitation schedule that outlines where your children will be during the holidays throughout the calendar year.
Keeping the long distance parent involved requires a visitation agreement that is both age appropriate for the children and realistic for the parents.
A long distance custody schedule addresses the issue of visitation when divorced parents live a substantial distance apart, such as in different states.
Your children deserve to have as much quality time with both parents, but when one or both of you are in the military, there may be more to visitations than if you had a more common office job. Deployment, special assignments and even travel can make visitations more complicated.
While there may be a few instances where divorcing parents agree completely on a custody schedule, the majority of parents must engage in negotiations in order to come to an agreement on how they will raise their children once divorced.
Parenting time guidelines include insight, tips or guidance for divorcing parents in creating a parenting plan and visitation schedule.
There is no single ideal custody schedule. Instead, you must customize a schedule to fit your family.
Creating a child visitation schedule isn't as simple as marking days on a wall calendar.
Even if you and the other parent have equal amounts of time with your child, you may want to consider designating one of your homes as your child's primary residence.
As your child's parents, you will be given the opportunity to create your child's visitation schedule as you see fit.
When a parent is in the military, things become a little more complicated. You will still need to create schedules for regular visitation time, holidays and vacations, but you will also need to include special provisions to accommodate the unique lifestyle of the military.
The typical scenario with newborn custody arrangements is that one parent has the baby the majority of the time while the other parent has visitation.
Once your child starts school, you will have to create a visitation schedule that works with both parents' employment schedules and your child's schedule. You will also need to factor in any extracurricular and after school activities your child may have.
When one parent has sole physical custody of a child, the child will live with that parent the majority of the time.
Regardless of whether or not your court has an official standard visitation schedule in place or not, it is common practice for family courts to impose a basic, generic schedule when needed.
A temporary visitation schedule is the schedule the parents will have to follow in order to have parenting time with their child.
As you create a visitation schedule for your teenager, you may want to consider your child's personality, school schedule, activities, etc.
You know your child best and you should make your visitation schedule according to his or her individual needs.
The age of your child can have a profound effect on your visitation schedule.


he £20m new build hospital is on a green field site on the outskirts of Beverley, East Yorkshire. The facilities include a 30-bed in-patient unit, outpatient department, diagnostics, minor injuries unit, therapy, wheelchair assessment services and the base for the neighbourhood care team.
The hospital has BREEAM excellent sustainability rating thanks to features such as a biomass boiler and a sedum roof. At the peak of construction there were 140 workers on site. The hospital was completed in July, 2012. The main contractor was Interserve Construction.
Using Sypro Contract Manager gave the client complete transparency of all information at all times. As an online service, the information that is stored within the software can be accessed at any time by users, which proves very user friendly for any out of hours updates that need to be made.
Having a live dashboard is also hugely beneficial for all parties, as the contractual position of the project is clear at all times. This helps to ensure all cost, time and risk considerations are concise and easily managed.

Do your worry about your home's indoor air quality (IAQ)?
The Energy Experts at Alicia Air are committed to realizing as much . . .
At Energy Experts (Alicia Air Conditioning), our house-as-a-system approach . . .
Trust the experienced heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) experts at Energy Experts with all of your Brea home heating, cooling, or indoor air quality needs. Energy Experts is a new designation of Alicia Air. Established in 1980, Alicia Air has served as Orange County's leading provider of exceptional quality, comprehensive Carrier sales, installation, maintenance, and repair services for decades. At Energy Experts, we are committed to providing excellent customer service, and our knowledgeable technicians have always worked closely with our valued residential clients to provide the most cost effective solutions possible to resolve their home heating, ventilation, and cooling needs. And now, as a Carrier Certified Energy Expert, we can provide even more specialized solutions for maximum home HVAC system efficiency, solutions which take into account factors such as a home's existing thermal envelope (comprised of a home's roof, exterior walls, windows, and doors), the energy efficiency of the home's existing HVAC system and its ductwork, and also any indoor air quality issues within the home.
Call the home HVAC specialists at Energy Experts (Alicia Air Conditioning) today for any and all concerns you may have about the efficiency of your Brea home's heating and cooling systems, or with any indoor air quality issues your household may be experiencing. We service all of Orange County, and are licensed, bonded, and insured.
Poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a major concern of Orange County homeowners and their families. And at Energy Experts (Alicia Air Conditioning), our thorough, whole-house approach to home heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can have significant benefits for Brea homeowners and their families beyond increased year round comfort levels, both in winter and in summer, and also decreased energy bills: vastly improved indoor air quality.
At Energy Experts (Alicia Air Conditioning), our knowledgeable HVAC technicians will carefully and thoroughly test, inspect, and evaluate your Brea home's existing ductwork system, and then recommend necessary services such as duct sealing, duct insulation, duct system modifications, or duct system replacement as necessary to increase your home ductwork system's performance and energy efficiency to adequate levels, as well as to ensure that duct system leakage is not responsible for any indoor air quality issues which may be of concern within your home environment.
Thermal Envelope - consisting of your home's roof, exterior walls, floors, windows, and doors. Air leakage through gaps in this envelope can greatly complicate home heating efforts in the winter, home cooling efforts in the summer, as well as contribute to indoor air quality (IAQ) problems.
Ductwork System - From which the leakage of conditioned air can cause a significant reduction in the overall efficiency of your home's HVAC system, as well as provide a means for drawing in poor quality air from the spaces in the home such as attics, garages, and crawl spaces in which the ductwork is located, distributing this bad air throughout your home's living area.
Combustion Appliances - From which gas, oil, or propane leakage can occur, as well as leakage of the carbon monoxide produced during the combustion of these fuel sources, causing hazardous indoor air quality and safety conditions for the home's occupants.
And then recommend cost-effective ways to remedy leakage issues within these systems. Call us today in Brea.
Choosing the right contractor to install your high efficiency home HVAC system is crucial. A good contractor will first perform a careful and thorough evaluation of your home, and will only then recommend an HVAC system for your home's heating and cooling needs. And If this procedure is not observed, it is possible for Brea homeowners to never realize the potential energy savings and reduced utility bills that the decision to install a high efficiency heating or cooling system should entail.
At Energy Experts (Alicia Air Conditioning), as a part of our comprehensive 360° Whole Home Energy Audit, we identify points within your Brea home's envelope, as well as in your home's ductwork system, where air leakage is taking place due to issues such as areas of insufficient insulation, unsealed ductwork connections, or damaged ductwork. For example, air leakage is common around envelope penetrations such as can lights and register seals, as well as through uninsulated or underinsulated attic spaces, which are significant points of heated air loss during the winter months. Moreover, underinsulated, leaky attic spaces contribute to the "chimney effect" within a home, because as hot air generated by a home's furnace rises up through a home and into the attic through leaks, cold outdoor air is drawn in through other points of potential air infiltration further down in the home's envelope, such as through gaps in exterior walls and around doors, in order to fill the space the warm air has left vacant. And this effect significantly reduces the overall efficiency of the home heating process, leading to a home environment which feels drafty, and in which a considerable amount of heated air is continually being squandered through the ceiling. However, this wasteful process can be effectively eliminated through providing the home with adequate attic insulation, leading to savings on utility bills and also the creation of a more comfortable home environment.
As a Certified Carrier Energy Expert, we can now perform a Carrier 360° Whole Home Energy Audit for Brea homeowners, a comprehensive inspection of their homes which takes many crucial factors into account in order to provide them with personalized solutions to their household's heating and cooling needs as well as resolve any problems with indoor air quality that their home's occupants may be experiencing.
Call us today from Brea. We service all of Orange County and surrounding areas, and are licensed, bonded, and insured.
I wanted to thank Mike Roy and the crew who came to our home to conduct negative pressure test. I was impressed with the time they took inspecting every potential air leak . . .

Things are ok. Pretty good all things considered, I guess.
About six months ago or so, mr. jolt's mom decided she wanted to give us a big thank you (we supported her by paying her rent for about 7 years while she was trying to sell a patent (which she did hurrah, only she had so little time to enjoy it – less than 9 months – it is monstrously unfair)) and take us all to Disney. We were on the verge of canceling the trip & trying again around Thanksgiving because of the ups and downs even though she had told us to go ahead and go because we didn't want to be there if things suddenly went south. As it turned out, things went south about three weeks before we were supposed to go and when the dust settled we decided that it would be too cruel to the boys to lose both a grandmother and a Disney trip all in one month. So we went. And it was fun. The best part was that we were away from the boxes of documents we collected from her apartment; away from the bills being forwarded to us that we can only collect and sit on for the moment, away from the 1001 things that need to be done.
V-day, mr. jolt & I spent cleaning out her apartment, only we couldn't finish and I have to find a way to go back up & find some movers that can take on a small job on short notice b/c we'd like to be out of there by the end of this month or shortly thereafter. It's a third floor walk-up and we don't want to try moving heavy furniture by ourselves.
But this past weekend we did three days of Disney: Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom (followed by Cirque de Soleil (OMFG fabulous if you have never seen them you MUST seize the next opportunity- it costs the earth but do it anyway)), then Epcot. A phenomenal weekend that was absolutely exhausting. We need another vacation to recover.
The next few weeks are likely to be spotty due to travel to finish with the immediate dealing with my MIL's affairs – including the service. Her side of the family isn't particularly anything so they tend to cremate and then have a service/gathering of family in a less frantic fashion than most, but it means we still haven't had the memorial service (which I worry about b/c I think the boys would find it useful for closure) so we have that before us as well.
So this past weekend was a desperately needed and enjoyable interlude and now we are once more running, running, running to catch up.

Frictional Games Planning Non Horror Game
Frictional Games Planning a Non-Horror Game
Published: July 21, 2016 9:25 PM
By: Kindra Pring
Amnesia and SOMA creator, Frictional Games, unveiled that they are working on two new projects, one of which will be the studio's first non-horror title. Frictional Games has become well-known for their popular yet simple survival horror experiences. The studio told Wow 24/7, however, that they don't only want to be known for their horror games. Frictional Games creative director Thomas Grip said in the interview they have two titles in the works, one of which is another horror title and the other the first non-horror game the studio has made. Grip himself is overseeing the team that will be working on the experimental title. While details are still in the works, Grip remarked that his aim was to make the depressing realities of the world into a gaming experience, hoping for an audience that is "existentially traumatized." Mechanically, Grip wants to make an experience that falls between the more complex expectations of Amnesia and the very simple mechanics of SOMA. Grip says that while he never viewed SOMA as a walking simulator as many did, he admits SOMA did lack some of the complicated planning Amnesia had.
Behind the scenes development of SOMA.
The creative director says the main focus of the game will be on telling the narrative through the gameplay. Grip pointed to Firewatch and in particular Inside as his inspirations for the idea of driving the story through player action, saying "The story of a game should be someone playing the game." Frictional Games has a blog post up praising Inside's storytelling.
As far as the horror title, it will not simple be a repeat of Amnesia, SOMA, or Penumbra. The hope is to create original mechanics for horror fans. Grip says that even while branching out into other genres, Frictional Games strives to be at the forefront of horror, and "create the games other people imitate." The horror and the non-horror title have been in the earliest stages of development for a year, but will start to come together in the Fall. Frictional Games is not in any hurry to rush the titles out though, nor feel any need to rush.
