OnesiesDownUnder is one of the biggest suppliers of DDLG clothing and accessories on the internet, their range of products and designs is absolutely fantastic. Their designs are incredible having so much detail and character. My little loves their products and was delighted to be able to help with this review.
They recently sent me three of their Pacifier Clips to review, one for each Pacifier that I recently reviewed and I was blown away with both the quality, functionality and design.
So what's so special about these pacifier clips I hear you ask? I suppose you could easily write off a product like this as pretty simple, but the truth is a lot of time and effort has been spent developing these products, and it shows.
Firstly they are a generous length while not being too long as to keep getting in the way. Attaching one end to a collar or bib allows it to hang naturally while the little is using his or her pacifier without being hindered by it. You don't notice it is there except for when you drop the pacifier, and it does its job by arresting its fall and keeping it off the floor.
These pacifier clips measure 13"/33cm in length which is an excellent size without getting in the way.
At one end you have an elasticated loop, and the colour of this loop matches the pacifier clips design giving it a balanced natural look. This loop is passed through the pacifiers handle, and then the other end of the pacifier clip is then passed through the loop and once entirely drawn through it attaches to the pacifier securely. It is important that this loop is elasticated and not just cord as if you little catches her retainer on something it will act as a mini shock absorber if it is eleasticated and this will help to prevent any tooth damage.
The other end of the pacifier clip features a fantastic little clamp that has three rows of teeth to secure it to clothing. The clamps locking arm is very clever, and I am fascinated by its action. When locked closed, it is exceptionally secure and holds the pacifier clip to clothing very well.
To open it up you have actually to lift the locking arm, and then it springs open, allowing the jaws to open wide. It's such a simple action, but for some reason, it mesmerised me. Yes, I know, I probably need to get out more often. The jaws and teeth really hold the pacifier retainer to anything that you clamp it to well.
There is a fantastic thirty-one different designs of pacifier retainers at the time of writing this review, and the three featured in these pics are Dreamy, Sweathearts and Unicorns. The Unicorns design is a favourite of mine as the unicorns in it have so much character, and let's face it, who doesn't love unicorns?
Each pacifier clip matches one of the designs of onesies and twosies that I am also currently reviewing. One of the beautiful things about buying onesies and twosies from OnesiesDownUnder is the fact that you can get matching bibs and pacifier retainers to create a matching outfit for your little. Having matching clothing and accessories matters for some and these pacifier retainers look fantastic when clipped to my little and she loves using them.
Now obviously you don't have to have everything matching in your littles outfit, and that's great too as it means that you have 31 choices to choose from so you are bound to find something to please you or your little at OnesiesDownUnder.
These pacifiers are double sided, with both sides featuring the same high-quality design with colours that really pop. The two pieces of strong patterned material are stitched together very neatly, in fact, the stitching is hard to see as it is so tight and neat. There is extra stitching at either end to securely hold the elasticated loop and clamp mechanism securely in place. The quality of these pacifier retainers is fantastic.
Basically, these pacifier retainers are bulletproof, their sturdy construction will give you years of faithful service while the fantastic array of designs means they will continue putting a smile on any little's face for a long time to come.
"I like my diddy retainers as it means when I drop my diddy it doesn't fall on the floor to get coated in nasty germs and fluff. I sometimes lose concentration when I am sucking on a diddy especially when doing something I love like colouring or watching cartoons and sometimes I spit my diddy out by accident. This diddy holder means that it is always close to hand to put back in my mouth quickly. I also love the designs, the unicorn one is my favourite."
The pacifier retainer are washing machine safe and so can be thrown into the wash with the rest of your little's clothing, this makes cleaning spills and stains a doddle.
These pacifier clips are fantastic quality, and there are some incredible designs to choose from down at OnesiesDownUnder. Each one costs just £5.58 which is very reasonable, and they do the job that they were designed to do admirably.
I was impressed by the quality and thought that went into their design, and my little loves them. They have already prevented lots of unwanted diddies on the floor problems. Whenever she accidentally spits her diddy out now, she no longer panics but simply reaches down and retrieves it before popping it back into her mouth and carrying on what she was doing.
I have some other things that I am reviewing for OnesiesDownUnder, and while I am not going to let too much out of the bag at this stage, the quality is fantastic.
I have no hesitation in giving these pacifier retainers a strong recommendation to anyone looking for a safe and robust solution to the problem of dropping pacifiers.
I was sent these Pacifier Retainers by OnesiesDownUnder and I would like to thank them for giving me the opportunity to review them.
Grab one or more of these fantastic pacifier retainers from OnesiesDownUnder for just £5.58 and that is good value for money.
The range of designs in fantastic with thirty-one to choose from. Check out the fantastic designs of their Onesies, Twosies and bibs as well. I have no problem in giving OnesiesDownUnder a huge thumbs up and a strong recommendation for anyone in the DDLG or ABDL scenes.

Billionaire Sheldon Adelson Attempts to Outlaw Online Casinos
Sheldon Adelson Hopes to Permanently Ban Online Gambling
American billionaire Sheldon Adelson has made a fortune with his brick and mortar casinos owned through his Las Vegas Sands Corporation. Now, he hopes to do better still by continuing his crusade, along with members of the Republican Party to whose campaigns he's donated millions of dollars, against online gambling in the US.
Online gamblers in the US have certainly had their fair share of troubles, not the least of which was the cancellation on April 15, 2011–a date known as "Black Friday" among the Poker community–of all real money accounts on the following sites:
Pokerstars.com
Fulltiltpoker.com
Absolutepoker.com
and Ultimatebet.com
Adelson, whose net worth is currently valued at over $40 billion, has been attempting to inspire a similar shutdown of online casinos with his Coalition to Stop Online Gambling, driving even more Americans into Las Vegas and Atlantic City. So far, he has been successful in shepherding two bills into Congress (one in the House of Representatives, the other in the Senate) proposing to overturn the Department of Justice's decision that the Wire Act–a law that prohibits the operation of US betting businesses–did not apply to online casino gaming.
The bills have a miniscule chance of passing through both houses, however, let alone escaping President Obama's veto pen. With more and more states accepting iGaming and online gambling, and with major companies like Virgin opening up their own hugely successful online casinos, the popularity of online gambling will almost certainly continue to increase. Even online poker exists in the US on sites like Carbon Poker and Bovada; the latter site incorporates poker into its comprehensive sportsbook and casino, and has thrived for many years despite persistent attempts to shut it down.

Solving climate crisis will be at center of Biden's job agenda -Deese
By Trevor Hunnicutt, Timothy Gardner
(Reuters) - Solving the climate crisis by boosting investments in new technologies will be at the center of the Biden administration's job creation agenda, the incoming top economic White House adviser said on Wednesday.

"I think what you are going to see across the president-elect's rescue-and-recovery strategy is an approach that puts solving the climate crisis at the center of creating jobs," Brian Deese, President-elect Joe Biden's incoming director of the National Economic Council, told the Reuters Next conference.
Biden is expected to present on Thursday his first big policy initiative on economic relief from the COVID-19 crisis.
Deese, who helped negotiate the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate when he worked under former President Barack Obama, said Biden will make good on his promise to rejoin the pact on day one. President Donald Trump began the formal process of removing the United States from the agreement after the Nov. 3 election.
Rejoining the pact will be "just the first" step on working with other countries on climate, Deese said. Biden, who takes office on Jan. 20, will also make good on quickly bringing together the world's top emitters of greenhouse gases to "increase our collective ambition on emissions reductions," Deese said.
"Part of ... our diplomatic strategy and our economic strategy has to be to work with other countries to push them, push their ambition, even as we have to demonstrate our ability to come back on the stage and show leadership on this issue that has been absent for the last couple of years," Deese said. The United States is the second leading emitter of greenhouse gases after China.
Trump has worked to roll back climate regulations and boost production of fossil fuels as part of his "energy dominance" agenda.
Biden campaigned on a goal of taking carbon pollution out of the power sector by 2035.
To achieve such environmental goals "we need to undertake a strategy that couples investment ... with clear certainty for the market, so that we can pull the massive quantities of private capital, that we ultimately will need," Deese said. He said certainty about environmental standards can help unleash trillions of dollars in private capital and create millions of jobs.
Deese said the opportunity to create high-paying union jobs exists throughout the clean energy economy whether its offshore wind, solar or the industrial sector such as deploying emissions-reduction technologies. The administration will also focus on research and development of new nuclear power technologies, he said. The administration also wants to compete in the growing export market for green technologies.
Under Obama, Deese worked on other top issues such as the bailout of the U.S. auto industry and budget deals with Congress.
The green auto business is an example of an industry where the United States can create millions of jobs "if we partner and make the investment upfront to help our companies retool and we invest in the infrastructure to help our consumers to actually make the choice to purchase clean vehicles," Deese said.

American Journal of Medical Sciences and Medicine. 2015; 3(5):67-69. doi: 10.12691/ajmsm-3-5-2
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of the causes of blindness in childhood. The treatment modalities of this disease are laser photocoagulation (LP) and/or intravitreal anti-VEGF agents. But there are many side effects of the laser treatment such as lens opacity, iris and cornea burns, retinal and choroidal hemorrhages. Exudative retinal detachment (ERD) has been reported as a rare complication of LP for the treatment of ROP. But there is no consensus about how to treat of this condition. Here we present a case of ERD after LP for ROP although appropriate laser settings and successfully treated by systemic steroid administration.

Google Deep Mind, AI and the Future of the Web
At the moment we know mobile technology will gain more importance in digital marketing. However the next big industry trend will be artificial intelligence and its impact on the web. It's been recently found that machines can learn like humans and can show intuition like humans. Intuition is the ability to understand something instinctively without any conscious reasoning. It happens when you have a feeling or a hunch about something but not necessarily any evidence or reason behind that feeling. You could argue that intuition is a unique attribute to humans. Some would even go as far to say that intuition is the language of our soul, or holy spirit if you're religious. So this new finding about a computer showing this 'sixth sense' is ground breaking. These days, various information about artificial intelligence and machine learning is available. And you can even take courses in ML to get a better understanding of this concept.

AI (artificial intelligence), Google Deep Mind, beat the worlds best human player of the Chinese strategic board game, Go
This is significant because you can't calculate every possible move on this board game, so some instinctive moves need to be done to win; the move is made if it 'feels right' to make that particular move.
Google Deep Mind's creator, Demis Hassabis claims it will learn even more. At the moment it can master old video games from the 70s, next it will be required to master games from the 90s and so on.
It uses reinforcement learning (operant conditioning), which is learning based on positive and negative consequences and experiences, and neural networks with many connections and signals to mimic how humans learn. On a basic level, reinforcement learning involves repeating behaviours that lead to a good favourable consequence and extinguishing behaviours that lead to a bad or wrong consequence. Behavioural psychologist, B.F Skinner theorised that all behaviour is learnt this way, and can be unlearnt and modified this way too. This is what the AI Google deep mind is programmed to do. Hassabis explains that Google Deep Mind would keep modifying and improving its behaviour from experiencing millions of trials (trial and error), and he'd learn from the mistakes of his older selves like humans do.
Google Deep Mind is designed for general purpose which means it can perform a variety of tasks across a wide spectrum, due to the unstructured, flexible way it learns. It can be given a task to do, and will learn how to do it at superhuman level when left overnight. The first trial will be unskilled and full of errors but after about 8 hours AI would have mastered it from learning by experience from all the earlier games.
The creation of AI and increased usage means the web will become smarter and deliver more individually specific search results to users. Search algorithms will become even more thorough and accurate when sifting through online content too; like Google deep mind these search bots will be more flexible and less constrained to one way of searching. SEO and digital marketing professionals need to consider artificial intelligence optimisation. This means that ads and campaigns will be better targeted to the right people based on what the AI has uncovered. This does happen now with the use of Cookies but it will be more accurate to what the customer would want with AI, and therefore increase the chance of a sale.
Google mind was created by Hassabis and his colleagues to formalise intelligence, and understand the human brain even more. For example, Google deep mind could help us understand neurological diseases more such as Alzheimer's and could even help us unlock the unused parts of our brains. Also from a humanitarian prospective, AI could be used to improve billions of lives around the world. Hassabis explains that Google mind in the future could be used for healthcare and science. AI has already been used to create healthcare apps.
AI has the potential to become more intelligent than any human. This intelligence paired with intuition has raised alarm bells with some AI industry heavyweights such as Elon Musk; here's his video on AI concerns.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlidB40aoTI
This has been dramatized for years in Hollywood films such 'Ex machina', 'I Robot', 'Terminator' and 'Her', and television drama series' like Channel 4s 'Humans'. AI is portrayed as something created to help humans but becomes self-aware and questions its position in society and rebels against humans. They are modelled in these films as better than humans in many ways; more intelligent, stronger, faster and deadlier. AI has tapped into the human fear of the unknown, and rightly so, but many argue that in the right hands and with enough diligence, nothing apocalyptic will happen as a result of AI. An AI ethics board has been founded at Google deep mind headquarters to ensure it is used responsibly.
Many have expressed their concerns about the future of jobs as we become more digitalised and create computers than can do our jobs faster and more efficient that humans. There will be less chance of errors, more money saved, no missed deadlines and faster turnout of work as computers can work overnight; humans need rest and a salary. We're already seeing self-driving cars which could affect taxi services in future and courier jobs for delivering post and takeaways for example. It's also been predicted that surgical procedures being performed by machines could be the norm one day. Here's a video of jobs that are likely to be affected by machines in future;
Some jobs I think won't be affected by machines are professions that need empathy and human interaction for the best quality of service such as lawyers, nannies, therapists, nurses, carers and social workers to name a few.
It's an exciting time not just for the AI industry but all industries. It's fascinating seeing science fiction fantasies become reality. Ensure to stay ahead of the curve by keeping up to date on Google deep mind and AI projects.


The second the constant narration started, I was sick of it. From my experience, character narration has to be done really well to be good and should (in most cases) stick to writing. This had none of that, just "Hi, I'm John Smith. This was my life until recently. This is what is like now." I know it kind of decreased a bit as it went on but no matter what the quantity, it was annoying.
Definitely not a cushion under that top.
You can quite clearly tell that they just didn't do a good job with the fat suit. If you want to make someone look fatter than they are, don't make them ware relatively tight fitting clothes where we can quite clearly seen their slim arms and legs. You're supposed to pad them up a little all over then dress them in poorly fitting, baggy clothing to at least give a better illusion than a pillow held at the stomach. I know they pretty much only use it for the first episode, but it is the entire show's main plot point (summarised in a prop).
Faust making a deal with Mephistopheles, 16th century (oil on canvas).
Also, btw why is everyone calling her ugly when she's quite clearly still pretty? Oh wait, nevermind me, it's Hollywood logic.
My main problem is the jokes. Particularly the child molester ones. I mean, if the guy was as great a lawyer as he said in his monologue, surely he would have pressed charges for slander? Although she publicly accused him, she didn't press charges, which is some decent evidence in itself (don't quote me, I have no legal expertise). And then the main character reasons that because he's an accused child molester, she has a chance at getting into his pants (for context: he's married and his son is even her age). That's just outright insensitive.
And we're supposed to laugh that this woman is publicly claming her pagent girl didn't win because her coach molested her? Riiiiiight…..
I thought it would be worth mentioning that Debby Ryan is "surprised" by the backlash the show has recieved. You can read her interview with Teen Vogue if you want, but it did little than just confuse me a bit more.
Here's the thing, why must we always aim to make content that addresses 'serious issues in society'?
That being said, this rant is only from watching about half of the first episode, so if it does get better, let me know, because I'm not watching another second to find out.
Broadly speaking, I agree, content (whether it be films, tv shows, or books), do not – and should not – need to tackle serious subjects. It can be great to see a work with a message convey that message with clear thoughtfulness and satisfying execution. But it isn't something all media needs to do. Films and such can be just fun popcorn entertainment and that's perfectly fine. When it comes to social viewings, those kinds of movies are the bread and butter of having a good time (not a context in which I would put on something more somber or contemplative, though some may, given the right company and mood).
Many people, arguably most people, don't want to come home from work and watch something that wants to remind them there are still problems unresolved in the world, and that they should help to fix that, when they're probably worn out from a day's shift and all they really want to do is sit down, relax and have a laugh.
Again, it's nice to have works to look at (or read) that aim for something more intellectual or philosophical, in terms of genuine, thought-provoking ideas. But there's no reason for everything to try to be that.
On an individual level, in this case, I don't have anything to say since I have not – nor do I plan to – watch the show. Doesn't look like it appeals to me.
From what I've heard from the people brave enough to finish it, you've made the best choice in just not getting involved at all. Apparently it quickly turns into an even bigger and bigger mess until the end (with a hope for a season 2, of course).
Yeah, I definitely feel confident in my decision now. Think I'll spend the time reading and commenting on more blogs.

Purification Corner Steps 13 and 14 - Natural Wellness and Chiropractic, Inc.
Step 15: Add walnuts and other nuts/seeds. Walnuts are chock full of Omega 3 fatty acids and other nutrients like manganese, magnesium and vitamin B. They do have a lot of fat, so one small handful is recommended. But one small handful is a power boost for the brain!
Step 16: Add sweet potatoes or yams. Unlike white potatoes, these cousins have a broad range of nutrients and are packed with vitamins C and A. One small to medium sweet potato provides 4 times the vitamin A needed and since it is in it's natural form, the body will only absorb what it needs. People with diabetes or pre-diabetes should limit these due to high glycemic index, but used to replace pasta or bread twice a week, it's a great exchange.

Media|2016 Pulitzer Prizes: A.P. Wins Public Service Award; 'Hamilton' Is Honored
2016 Pulitzer Prizes: A.P. Wins Public Service Award; 'Hamilton' Is Honored
Photography Pulitzer for Coverage of Refugee Crisis
Sergey Ponomarev for The New York Times
By Michael M. Grynbaum
The Associated Press won the Pulitzer Prize for public service on Monday for a series that exposed slavery and vicious abuse in the Southeast Asia fishing trade, leading to the release of 2,000 captives and broad reforms in the United States and overseas.
The series, "Seafood From Slaves," involved a sprawling reportorial effort across several countries that discovered scores of fishermen in captivity — and sometimes locked in cages — in an industry that supplies seafood to American restaurants, pet-food brands and big retailers like Walmart. The A.P.'s reporting prompted arrests, ship seizures and action by the federal government.
One year after magazines became eligible in some Pulitzer categories, The New Yorker received two prizes: for Emily Nussbaum's television criticism, and for "The Really Big One," Kathryn Schulz's ominous article about the potential for a major earthquake in the Pacific Northwest, which won for feature writing. William Finnegan, a New Yorker staff writer, won the biography award for his memoir, "Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life."
In an honor that was widely predicted, the musical "Hamilton," a hip-hop retelling of the founding fathers story, received the prize for drama. The musical's creator and star, Lin-Manuel Miranda, reacted joyfully on Twitter, writing: "PULITZER?!"
Alissa J. Rubin, the Paris bureau chief of The New York Times, won the prize for international reporting, for a deep examination of the abuse and injustice faced by women in Afghanistan. "I always am curious what people who are usually invisible are thinking, and how they see the world," Ms. Rubin said in the Times newsroom on Monday.
The Times also won the award for breaking news photography, its fourth photography prize in three years. Four Times photographers — Tyler Hicks, Mauricio Lima, Sergey Ponomarev and Daniel Etter — won for a searing collection of images of migrants seeking asylum in Europe, sharing the prize with the news agency Reuters. It was Mr. Hicks's second Pulitzer; he won in 2014 in the same category, for his photos of the terrorist attack at the Westgate mall in Kenya.
The Times had 10 finalists over all, the newspaper's most since 2002, when it was recognized for coverage of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
2016 Pulitzer Prize Winners
The Pulitzers are in their centennial year, and the winners announced on Monday reflected in part the changes sweeping the media landscape. Here is the full list.
The Pulitzers are now in their centennial year, and the winners announced by Columbia University on Monday reflected some of the changes sweeping the media landscape. Among the winners was The Marshall Project, an online outlet founded 17 months ago. The Washington Post took the national reporting prize for a project that used data, graphics and other tools of digital journalism to chronicle every killing by a police officer in 2015, unearthing fresh insights into a subject that has dominated the national political debate.
Ken Armstrong of The Marshall Project and T. Christian Miller of the online investigative news site ProPublica won the explanatory reporting prize for their harrowing account of a botched rape investigation. The article, "An Unbelievable Story of Rape," revealed how the police dismissed a claim of rape by an 18-year-old woman, and even prosecuted her for an ostensibly false report — a decision that delayed for years the capture of her actual attacker, a serial rapist. The piece is now being cited in training programs for law enforcement.
Two other newspapers besides The Times won two prizes apiece. Farah Stockman of The Boston Globe, who recently joined the Times staff, won the commentary prize for columns examining the legacy of busing and segregation in Boston; Jessica Rinaldi of The Globe won in the feature photography category for her photos of a young boy struggling after a history of abuse.
The Tampa Bay Times won for local reporting for its look at the stunning failure rates among black students in a Florida county school system that abandoned racial integration. The newspaper also shared the investigative reporting prize with The Sarasota Herald-Tribune, for a joint exposé on abuse and neglect in Florida mental hospitals.
The Los Angeles Times won in the breaking news category for its coverage of the shootings in San Bernardino, Calif., in December. Jack Ohman of The Sacramento Bee received the award for editorial cartooning, and John Hackworth of Sun Newspapers of Charlotte Harbor, Fla., won for editorial writing.
The award for fiction went to Viet Thanh Nguyen for his debut novel, "The Sympathizer," which opens in 1975 in Saigon and centers on a Communist sympathizer who escapes to Los Angeles and spies on a South Vietnamese group he has infiltrated. The novel was hailed by critics for blending espionage, satire and historical fiction.
"Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS," by Joby Warrick, a reporter for The Washington Post, won the nonfiction prize. The book explores the rise of the Islamic State, in part through a detailed portrait of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, the group's founder, who was killed in an American airstrike in 2006.
T. J. Stiles, a biographer who won a Pulitzer in 2010 for his portrayal of Cornelius Vanderbilt, won this year's prize in history, for "Custer's Trials: A Life on the Frontier of a New America." Mr. Stiles's book is a biography of George Armstrong Custer, the Civil War general who died in the Battle of Little Bighorn in Montana in 1876.
Correction: April 20, 2016
An article on Tuesday about the 2016 Pulitzer Prizes misstated the number of photography prizes that The New York Times has won in the last three years. It has won four, not three.

Alissa Rubin, 2016 Pulitzer Winner, Reports From the Front Lines


Maybe I'll spend a buck or two and download one track lossless from Prestoclassical and see if I notice an improvement.
Usually I find very little difference, except when comparing to a master made in the 1980's (when the converters they were using had limitations). If they're still using the original CD masters (from the individual CD cover I posted) those would be 1980's masters and there could be room for improvement.
Yep, I haven't kept the red to double check, but if there isn't a clear difference I will eat my hat.
Keep in mind I don't have your fancy class-A amp! I'm coping with bourgeois Marantz hardware.
If you have a secure ripper (preferably one that references the online AccurateRip database, but that's not essential) you can just rip a track off each version and compare the reporting. If the 8-character CRC is identical for each rip, there has been no remastering. If the CRCs are not identical, that doesn't really prove anything, but it does mean that remastering is at least a possibility.
It's common for example to rip a CD from a newly-issued box set and find that the CRC is identical to the original single issue from 30 years ago.
As marvelous as the later Alban Berg Quartet (ABQ, for short) became, I am still partial to the early 1970s recordings made by the original ABQ members for Teldec. All those recordings are collected in this set which, sad to say, becomes another bittersweet ABQ commemorative now that the group has decided to disband. Anyway, the original ABQ immediately established itself as a technically formidable ensemble with these Teldec recordings of string quartets by Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Brahms, Dvorak, Berg, Webern, and Urbanner. What becomes very apparent when you compare these recordings to later recordings by the ABQ on EMI is that the earlier ensemble produced a warmer, more typically Viennese sound. There is no lack of intellectual rigor in these Teldec performances, but the sound of the quartet, IMHO, is just more inviting. The discs in this handsome set include a complete survey of the Mozart 'Haydn' and 'Prussian' quartets and these performances can be directly compared with the later ABQ's superb -- but very different sounding -- EMI offerings. While I prefer these earlier recordings, and also prefer the performances of the three Brahms quartets over the later EMI set, I intend no disrespect toward those later recordings. My point is this: if you love the ABQ of those EMI recordings, do not by any means consider these earlier Teldec CDs to be mere duplicates; they stand on their own as marvelous documents of how special the ABQ was from its beginning. Also, I am happy to report that Teldec has remastered the original analog recordings and tamed the somewhat hard and shrill sound of earlier CD releases, while the program booklet features a fine retrospective essay on the ABQ by noted British critic Tully Potter. Final note: look at the asking price for this Teldec set, which is very nice indeed. So, "Hail and farewell, ABQ!" And thanks for these and so many other special memories of great music making.
I will investigate the pros and cons of the earlier and later recordings of the Mozart soon.
Finally, in London, after an appalling week of stormy, cold, damp, windy weather, the sun has come out . . . .
He mentioned he did not keep the old release so the comparison would not be possible.
Yes, I saw that review, but I would not consider an amazon reviewer to be an infallible authority on such matters. I noted that the reviewer didn't clearly state the Teldec claimed it to be a new master from original tapes in the linear notes. It could be that Teldec just applied a little equalization to its existing master. If they remastered it, why don't the idiots mention that fact on the packaging? Anyway, I'm tempted to get it to hear for myself. Those recordings are important to me.
why don't the idiots mention that fact on the packaging?
I know, I had exactly the same thought yesterday.
Listening to Guarneri Quartet on Philips (CD borrowed from a friend and I have to return it today). I really like the recorded sound. With headphones the sound is very good when I use -8 dB crossfeed. Without crossfeed headphone sound a bit claustrophobic, but relaxes and opens up nicely with crossfeed.
Comparing this to my Kodály Quartet disc and the character of music is surprisingly different. Kodály Quartet sounds distant and meditative in comparison. The Naxos disc also has worse spatiality, but sounds reasonable with about -4 dB crossfeed.
The whole Guarneri (i.e. the later Philips cycle) was also on Brilliant, but this one is oop by now, too. There is another reissue of the complete set on eloquence and this is probably the cheapest option.
Thanks! Yeah I figured the Brilliant set out myself. Also, Amazon.de has the original disc.
There is another issue I did not mention because it is even more obscure. It's the one I have, inherited or grabbed in a bundle of used discs, I don't remember exactly), namely a cardboard double disc set with op.74/131 and 127/135, apparently a special issue for the German mailorder Zweitausendeins. Will listen to it later tonight.
Listening to Guarneri Quartet on Philips (CD borrowed from a friend and I have to return it today). I really like the recorded sound. .
I can get it through Qobuz and I agree it sounds very good in the fugue, I haven't heard the rest yet. Thanks for mentioning it.

U.K. voters decide who they want to resolve Brexit impasse
79 Likes comments off Share
LONDON — U.K. voters were deciding Thursday who they sensitive to resolve the stalemate greater than Brexit in a parliamentary election seen as one of the most important by now the accumulation less of World War II.
Voting was underway across the country in a contest that pits Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who says he will succession Britain out of the European Union by Jan. 31, nearby challenger leader Jeremy Corbyn, who promises other referendum a propos Brexit.
Johnson voted at Methodist Central Hall in London, surrounded by his dog, Dilyn. Corbyn was greeted by supporters as arrived to cast his vote in his north London constituency.
With consequently much at stake, political parties have pushed the boundaries of final, transparency and realism during five weeks of nervousness.
Johnson's Conservative Party was criticized for using misleading tactics in bank account to social media, even though Corbyn's Labour Party sought to win votes by promising to tax the energetic, boost handing out spending and nationalize industries such as railroads and water companies. One of the focal points of the ugly disturb was the National Health Service, a intensely highly thought of institution that has struggled to meet rising demand after nine years of austerity out cold Conservative-led governments.
Jill Rutter, a senior research fellow at UK in a Changing Europe, said one of the things that stood out during the impinge on was the shamelessness of the politicians. She cited Johnson's official notice that the Conservatives would fabricate 40 hospitals. In fact that number includes many existing facilities that will be renovated.
"Normally, if you narrowing out to people that something doesn't stand going on, it's actually sort of fiction, you slightly expect them to begin … replacing that at the in the back a alternating rotate concerning fact," Rutter said. "But here, actually, you've seen this from No. 10 out detached Johnson that they'as soon as than trace to prepared to intend a extremely manipulative operation."
All 650 seats in the House of Commons are happening for grabs in the election, which is innate held coarsely severity of two years ahead of schedule.
The prime minister called in stomach elections in hopes of breaking a logjam in Parliament that stalled manage to pay for effective approbation to of his Brexit appointment in October. Johnson didn't have a majority in the last Parliament and was stymied astern he at a loose call off the arrangement of the Democratic Unionist Party because of concerns approximately how Northern Ireland would be treated out proud his unity subsequent to the EU.
Opinion polls have consistently showed Johnson's Conservative Party in the as well as, but recent surveys have enough money advice the margin may have narrowed in the realize days of conscious. While Corbyn's Labour is unlikely to win an outright majority, smaller attacker parties viewpoint to win enough seats handily they can team subsequently Labour to block Johnson's Brexit plans.
All of the parties are energetic vis–vis the verdict of voters who are more fine to reject long-held party loyalties after three years of wrangling happening for intensity of Brexit. Photos of lines outdoor of polling stations suggested a brisk to the benefit hours of day turnout.
In Glasgow, Simon MacFarlane, a 49-year-old trade linkage worker, said the election was just more or less following more just Brexit.
"The issues facing the poorest people in Glasgow are no choice from the poorest people in Liverpool, Manchester, or elsewhere vis–vis the addition of the country and Belfast," he said. "So, we obsession to concentrate in report to those issues. We have had sufficient of constitutional politics at this want in times."
The Conservatives have focused much of their vivaciousness coarsely exasperating to win in a "red wall" of full of zip-class towns in central and northern England that have elected Labour lawmakers for decades, but in connection in crime to voted strongly in 2016 to depart the EU. Polls instruction that target may play-deed something to-reach, and the Conservatives have with been helped by the Brexit Party led by Nigel Farage, which commissioner at the last minute not to contest 317 Conservative-held seats to avoid splitting the profit-Brexit vote.
Labour, which is largely but ambiguously benefit-EU, faces competition for aligned together subsequently than-Brexit voters from the centrist Liberal Democrats, Scottish and Welsh nationalist parties, and the Greens.
One of the conscious's defining images was a photo of a in poor health 4-year-old-fashioned boy sleeping more or less speaking a hospital floor because no beds were available. Johnson's initial failure to even see at the photo in an as soon as mention to-camera interview put the prime minister on the defensive because he was seen as mammal insensitive to the child's plight.
The photo, initially published by the Yorkshire Evening Post, swept across social media as soon as than a firestorm, injecting an explosive jolt into the diplomatic discharge commitment of opinion in the wretched days of the election.
Social media platforms were a mordant battleground during the be wrong together together surrounded by, later than than than political mudslingers waging cyberwar back few positive constraints after the direction unsuccessful to go-getter in excuse to calls for a mass accomplish a share to protect democracy in the internet age. Just two years after Britain found itself at the epicenter of a global animosity higher anew the handing out away of Facebook data by embassy campaigns, the parties bombarded voters as soon as than than social media messages — many of which were misleading.
The Conservative Party circulated a doctored video that made it see as if an attacker leader had been stumped subsequent to asked considering hint to his incline in version to Brexit. Then during a television debate the party something difficult than-branded its press office Twitter account as a fact-checking calm. The Labour Party in insert to sought to co-opt the roll of independent fact-checker, rolling out a website called The Insider, which called nearly voters to "trust the facts."
The Conservative Party, in imitation of a proficiently-off online be closely something later, found itself in the crosshairs of many media critics. Some, such as Rasmus Kleis Nielsen, director of the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford, wondered why Johnson, who has been in the benefit, would make public compelled to be at the forefront of pushing the edge of well-liked norms.
"This is a governing party. It's a mainstream party. It's a career politician. This is not an outlier. You don't profit more set in motion than the British Conservative Party," Nielsen said. "If that is what they see as fit and proper, we must viewpoint the fact that this is the adding in the works together together unqualified."
Matthew Goodwin, a visiting senior fellow at the Chatham House think-tank , said the Conservative Party's tactics were partly catastrophe happening by alarm greater than the potential for a Corbyn-led giving out.
"We have to remember this is probably the most consequential election we've had in the p.s.-saintly luck interest period," he said, citing Brexit and other implications of the vote.
"For the Conservatives, the manage by they have become for that footnote focus regarding and so personal is, I think, they view this as paving the habit for a Marxist project, a dexterously-ventilated-minded left-wing project that is more of a threat to this country, to the allocation, to Britain's economy, to its place upon the international stage — a greater threat than all the country has faced reduction," Goodwin said.

Vietnam lose 1st game at Women's Asian Cup to South Korea
January 22, 2022 by e.vnexpress.net
In India on Friday the Koreans dominated right from the start and took only four minutes to open the scoring through an accurate long shot by captain Ji So-Yun, who plays in England for Chelsea. Three minutes later Choe Yuri went down the right flank and crossed it for Lee Geum-min to head in off defender Tran Thi Phuong Thao. It was counted as an own goal. After conceding the two early goals, Vietnam played defensively and South Korea did not create any significant chance until the last 30 minutes of the game. The Vietnamese began to tire, and South Korea increased the pressure. In the 71st and 74th minutes goalkeeper Tran Thi Kim Thanh made two excellent saves but could not do much five minutes later when Ji So-yun scored from the penalty spot. Defender Chuong Thi Kieu had handled the ball inside the box while trying to clear it. South Korea kept pressing but could not score again, and the match ended 3-0. In the other match in group C, Japan thrashed Myanmar 5-0 to go … [Read more...] about Vietnam lose 1st game at Women's Asian Cup to South Korea

The Việt Nam national team talk tactics at a training session in Hà Nội before they departed for Australia. — Photo vff.org.vn HÀ NỘI — Despite their poor start to the third round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Coach Park Hang-seo is determined to make history by securing the first Southeast Asian victory at this stage of the competition. Thailand are the only regional team to have gotten this far before, back in 2018. However, the "War Elephants", under the management of Kiatisuk Senamuang – Hoàng Anh Gia Lai's current coach - finished bottom of their group with just two points, conceding a total of 24 goals. To better Thailand, Việt Nam will need good results in their remaining matches against Australia, China, Oman and Japan. Three points against China seems the most realistic for Coach Park's men. "We will try our best to beat China and make history, and give a bright start for Vietnamese football in 2022," Park said. "In the first leg, we lost 3-2.

Home Editors' picks Revoke licences of idle oil block holders – ACEP tells gov't
Revoke licences of idle oil block holders – ACEP tells gov't
Ben Boakye (ACEP Boss)
Government needs to take action against companies which have acquired petroleum blocks but so far failed to invest in them, the African Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP) has said.
The energy policy think-tank said domestic oil production and revenues could dwindle in the future if government fails to engage companies on the way forward, or cancel those contracts numbering up to 14.
"What is critical is that some companies are holding onto petroleum blocks without doing the work they are supposed to. So, we want the Ministry of Energy to come out clearly on as to the way forward relative to those blocks, so that we can begin to have a conversation about how to get those people to work or cancel the contracts," ACEP's Executive Director, Benjamin Boakye, told the B&FT in Accra.
When someone is sitting on a block, he said, it means that they are deferring the possibility of producing oil – "Because they are not doing the work they are supposed to do. It is only when you drill that you can discover oil; so, if they are not drilling they are not discovering oil".
Mr. Boakye said this at an event dubbed 'experts roundtable on petroleum contract governance', which deliberated on findings of a study conducted by ACEP on Petroleum Agreements entered into by Ghana.
See Also: 79 factories coming under 1D1F by end of year
Titled Petroleum Contracts Monitor, 2017: A Public Interest Report, the report examines the existing non-producing petroleum agreements to measure their performance against work obligations of the companies involved.
"This report will form the baseline for subsequent monitoring of petroleum agreements in Ghana by ACEP."
Given that oil production from the Jubilee and TEN Fields is likely to start declining from 2020-2021, he explained, the country could struggle to find replacement if it fails to act now.
"We won't have any replacement if these companies do not invest in the blocks. Our receivables are going to start dwindling, and this will affect the national budget. So, you always need to be making new discoveries to be able to sustain your production growth and also replace your depleting reserves.
"The ones we are producing now will not last forever; in the next 15 years they will run out, and when they run out what new discoveries are there to replace them?
"So, we need to ensure that the companies which have taken the new blocks actually invest to discover more oil," he indicated.
On the study, Ben Boakye said: "We are looking at what advocacies we can put forth to ensure we can attract more efficient and capable companies to invest in our oil sector".

In the area of transparency, he said: "We have seen some actions taken; the ministry has committed to transparency. For example, they have developed the petroleum register to publish contracts and there are now processes in place to ensure that we go for competitive bidding. These are processes that will go a long way to amend the old ways of granting petroleum contracts on first come, first served basis".
He added that: "Going forward, we need to implement the new Petroleum Exploration and Production Act and introduce competition. This will invite people who have capacity to participate in the sector".

You will never co-sleep with your baby.
You will never let your baby eat sugar or processed foods or anything that contains ingredients that sound like they might have come from a lab.
You will never leave your baby to cry, even for a minute.
You will never hand your baby your phone to keep her entertained.
Sounds great, right? Except for one thing: you will do all of the above, without hesitation.
You're an avid follower of instructions, Pre-Baby Me. You also have zero experience with babies, aside from the fact that you used to be one. So when you find out you're pregnant, you'll read all the parenting articles you can get your hands on. This will give you a pretty solid idea of what babies are like, what to do with them, and how things are supposed to go.
There's just one problem: all the books, all the parenting articles, and all the Facebook group members? They've never actually met your baby, and neither have you. And even though you know yourself pretty well, you have no idea how you'll react when faced with the reality of raising a child.
And I'm not talking about any of that "hardest job in the world" crap here (for crying out loud, some people are brain surgeons and presidents and underwater welders and fast food restaurant cashiers). I'm referring to the fact that you can't predict how you're going to behave as a parent because you've never been a parent before.
It's a new situation for you, and different situations call for different approaches. Also, children? Are people. And different people also require different approaches.
The most important piece of parenting advice I can give you is this: Do what works for you and your baby. Not what the experts say will work; not what the internet says will work; not what your mother-in-law says will work.
There will be a period when the only way anyone can get any sleep is if the baby shares your bed.
There will be a time when your child will refuse to eat anything that didn't come from a box.
There will be mornings when you'll have 45 seconds to pack your daughter's bag for daycare before you leave for work, and she won't sit still without a phone to play with.
And, yes, there will be nights when you realize your child just needs to yell for five minutes before she can doze off.
The thing about babies is they don't come with a manual. In the Information Age, they actually come with 10,000 of them, but not one is for your particular model. Kind of like that TV you used to have that only worked if you smacked it in just the right spot (Note: this is only an analogy. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT smack your baby). The point is, you're going to have to figure out this parenting thing on your own.
You think you know what kind of parent you'll be — or at least what kind of parent you will never be.
You will never be one of those moms who are slaves to their children's sleep schedules.
You will never be one of those moms who hovers over their children, always terrified that they're going to injure themselves.
You will never be one of those moms who obsesses over every single milestone.
Except … wait for it … you will.
But you know what? That's okay. Because the parent you become will be dictated by the child she is.
She'll be the child who needs to be on a schedule or all hell will break loose. But she'll also be the child with boundless energy, who wakes up smiling every morning.
She'll be the child who requires constant supervision, lest she attempt to dive down the stairs or stick her fingers in the electric heater. But she'll also be the child who inspires you with her curiosity and sheer fearlessness — and she'll be that way because she knows you'll always protect her.
She'll be the child who doesn't learn to walk until well after all your friends' kids. But she'll also be the child who learns to climb before crawling, and who beams with pride at each emphatic step.
She'll be all those things and more. And you wouldn't want her to be any other way, because she's unequivocally perfect.
Never say never, Pre-Baby Me. Doing the things you swear you'll never do as a parent might just make you the best parent you can be.

How to get out of a maze?
Background: Previous studies have shown that stingrays can exploit a variety of spatial learning strategies, including directional, landmark, and place learning. In these studies, allocentric and global strategies were preferred over egocentric information and local strategies. Elasmobranchs represent the oldest extant vertebrate group. Considering their key phylogenetic position, we wished to address the evolution of spatial strategies as well as the significance of specific strategies over others.
Aim: Investigate cue preferences in two types of maze experiments by assessing the significance of single landmarks and directional cues (both egocentric strategies) for orientation.
Organism: Freshwater stingrays (Potamotrygon motoro).
Methods: In two independent experiments, five juvenile stingrays were trained to find their way through a maze while being given both landmark and directional information. Transfer tests (in which conflicts between both kinds of information were created) showed which cues the rays used preferentially to reach their goal.
Results: All rays successfully learned to master the mazes in both experiments, so all were capable of learning and the application of spatial memory. Rays placed more importance on directional information than on landmark cues. This applied to abstract cues (provided in the form of cards featuring symbols) as well as 'natural' landmark cues (in the form of plants). Once rays were trained to use directional information, it was not possible to reverse their preference and get them to use landmark information instead.
Conclusion: Freshwater stingrays learn quickly and prefer directional information to single landmark cues.
Keywords: behaviour, cognition, egocentric, elasmobranchs, spatial orientation, stingrays.

Melbourne was cloudy and cool. We walked our way to Southern Cross Station as we usually do. Might as well walk, we thought, as we were about to spend 10 hours travelling in planes (not to mention a while lot of sitting about waiting).
First flight was Jetstar, Melbourne to Singapore. Aside from the random gate change (one thing on our boarding pass, another on the departures board) and the technical issues (tyre replacement) causing delays, I really think the wrap that Jetstar gets is a bit unfair. This may be influenced by the fact that today, we were flying business class.
8 hours passes pretty quickly when you're watching movies on in-flight entertainment systems and getting free meals and snacks (and drinks, of course). You'd hardly notice when you finish a bottle of water, as it gets replaced rather soon after you set it down.
Since the first flight was delayed, we only had about an hour and a half in Singapore. Singapore was, of course, only a man's to an end for us, as we were making our way to Vietnam. With this in mind, we promptly found a fish spa and massage place, where we had fish nibble at the dead skin on our feet while we received a much needed massage.
Once on board our next flight, we were reminded that we had in fact opted for in flight meals again (and by this stage we were famished). Other than that, this flight sounded like it was running off of lawnmower engines.
By the time we landed, it had been about 12 hours since we'd left Melbourne, 10 of which were spent up in the air. I wonder if reports had over-exaggerated the issue, but I felt lucky we didn't get asked for some extra "country entrance fee" when passing through Vietnamese customs. And since we were carrying sweet bugger-all, e didn't have to fill in any declaration forms, either.
Just outside, our hotel pick-up was waiting. Vietnamese traffic… Is a sight to behold. It's confusing enough that they drive on the opposite side of the road than I'm used to, but the road rules appear to come down to occasionally stopping for red lights and judicious use of the car horn… Plus making a turn (left or right, take your pick) uses a technique I can only describe as " muscling in".

Food & Drink / Food Chain Delicious pigface
Posted By Mike Sula on 04.11.07 at 09:39 AM
Much love has gone the way of Iowa's La Quercia prosciutto, an outstanding product that really lives up to the hype. Jeffrey Steingarten notably declared it "the best prosciutto available in this country, imported or domestic," and you can judge for yourself at at least eight local boites, including Blackbird, Avec, Spiaggia, North Pond, and Trotter's. Or get some sliced for yourself at Whole Foods (though I had some trouble at the new Peterson and Cicero store--it's supposed to be sliced tissue-paper thin).
But for some time I've been meaning to give a shout out to a lesser known and lamentably rare La Quercia pork product. A few weeks ago a friend returned from the Norwalk, Iowa, prosciuttificio with several pounds of luscious, fatty guanciale, the dry cured jowl of the hog (thanks Joel). It's indispensable for a true spaghetti alla carbonara, or anything that calls for pancetta. If bacon makes everything better, guanciale makes it best.
According to Ruhlman's Charcuterie it's one of the easiest cuts to cure, but good luck finding it at the butcher shop. Kathy and Herb Eckhouse of La Quercia don't even list it on their Web site, though they've been trying mightily to offer a consistent supply. I was astonished when I found out why it's so difficult to produce.
"For one thing all the pork that we buy has to be from pigs [raised in] non confinement, antibiotic-free, vegetarian diet, humanely raised, so already that really narrows the pool that we can choose from," says Kathy. But it appears that the real problem is that, at the slaughterhouse, USDA inspectors routinely slash the jowls as the carcass comes down the line, searching for disease. That isn't the only way to inspect a pig, but that's the way its done unless they have a written cease and desist from the slaughterhouse. But even then the instructions are often ignored. "Part of it is that the message doesn't get all the way through to the line about what needs to be done," she says. "That's been a recurring issue when we've received jowls that are just really difficult for us to use, and we have to basically discard almost all of what we get."
But, say the jowls get through unslashed. The USDA also requires them to be certified free from trichina, a parasitic disease that comes from eating uncooked pork that's pretty (ahem) rare today. To get your pork certified, says Kathy, "You hold it in a freezer for a certain number of days at a certain temperature and it's in a cage and it's locked and there's a log kept of its time in there." That wouldn't be any trouble for a giant like Cargill to pull off if it wanted to order a hundred thousand pounds of hog jowls, but "we're more of an irritant than an opportunity because we're so small"
The issue of scale is an ongoing problem for artisanal producers everywhere; as Michael Pollan pointed out in the Omnivore's Dilemma, the USDA regulatory system is based on an industrial model created in response to the abuses Upton Sinclair chronicled in The Jungle. Adhering to its requirements can be prohibitively expensive. "The federal regulatory regime is expressly designed for a large slaughterhouse operated by unskilled and indifferent workers killing and cutting as many as four hundred feedlot animals an hour," writes Pollan. "The industrial packing plant where number 534 [a cow] met his end can take a steer from knocker to boxed beef for about fifty dollars a head; it would cost nearly ten times as much to process him in a custom facility like this."
The Eckhouses, by the way, lived and worked in Parma for over three years, and have a really cool operation--a computer assisted curing facility designed along Italian specs that mimics the changing seasons--the way pre-refrigeration hams were aged in the outdoors. La Quercia prosciutto ages in the plant for 10 to 12 months, but the guanciale only takes four to six weeks. Any longer says Herb Eckhouse, and it starts to go rancid. The Eckhouses are clearly frustrated with the pig jowl situation."Its been kind of one of those things where you feel like you're in a plastic bag and you can't punch your way out," says Herb, who's settled on a strategy of persistence, and hopes to have a steady supply by June.
When I first got mine, I let a thin slice of the guanciale melt on my tongue. It is so impossibly rich, so superbly porky that just a little bit goes a long way. Using Marcella's recipe, I made the carbonara of my life with La Quercia guanciale. I also sauteed some radicchio and rosemary with it, alla Mario's Simple Italian Food. The rest of my stash is vaccum sealed and frozen until I need the big guns, or until I can get a steady fix.

Show us your Jeff Olney "Eye-Candy" Present/Past/Future. Here are some that I own and have owned.
Cocobolo 4 point SS 5/16x14 piloted joint. Sold this one to a friend.
Pau Ferro into Pau Ferro eight point piloted 5/16x14 Phenolic joint. This now resides with another good friend.
Thuya Burl into insane BEM six pointer. This is my main player. Still have this one.
Tulipwood into Fire Cocobolo six pointer. Still have this one.
Old school Ebony into BEM with ivory inlays. This I sold to another good friend.
Last edited by Bob Farr; 08-15-2013 at 06:42 PM.
Here are a couple of special cues. Four point very dark Cocobolo with razor black and white veneers. This cue has a full ivory 5/16x14 piloted joint and has the sweetest hit.
Second is an insane BEM PJ with a light stain that really accents the eyes in the wood.
Both of these I still have in my collection.
Last edited by Bob Farr; 08-15-2013 at 06:44 PM.
Jeff makes a killer sw style cue, look forward to seeing more.
Thuya Burl with a Purpleheart handle.
More pic's to come. Got a couple I haven't had time to take pictures of.
I really like the second cue . I'll round up all mine and post a pic in a couple days.
Nice cue Shawn. My main player is just like it except for mine has the brown phenolic trim. It also has a 20 year old piece of purpleheart for the handle. I love this cue.
Last edited by Bob Farr; 08-17-2013 at 06:31 AM.
Wow. Cues look awesome. In particular for me are the SW tributes, especially the... geez, can't decide, they all look great.
Bob, I believe my cue might be the one on the right? So you should probably sell me the one on the left as well.
Rich, that is the cue you got from me hope you are still enjoying it? That is a real nice cue.
Yea that's some great birdseye for sure. I don't have the 8 pointer anymore I gave it up to a very good friend. Thanks my friend.
Bob, that cue quickly became and still is my main player. Can't find anything that has comparable hit and feel so I'm fairly certain that Olney will stay MINE.
These first 2 arrived yesterday, the one on the left is cocobolo and has some amazing swirls all the way around. The one on the right is boise de rose and love the tone, plays a lot like Brazilian rosewood.

This project will become Studio X's first built cinema in Q3 2018.
The site is being developed by one of Hong Kong's highest quality developers, who we have worked closely alongside in order to ensure our vision matches the impeccably high design standards found across their illustrious, and award-winning commercial property portfolio.
The design language has been thoughtfully integrated into the mall, to minimise the threshold between the public spaces and to maximise views throughout. This will help to drive traffic into the cinema and enhance the shopfront, whilst enhancing the overall mall experience.


Scalia's tone this year, particularly in cases involving the Obama administration, is raising new criticism over the temperament of a justice who has always relished the give-and-take of the Supreme Court's public sessions. Some lawyers say Scalia, a 1986 appointee of Republican President Ronald Reagan, is crossing the line that separates tough scrutiny from advocacy.
Scalia's approach is fueling the perception that the biggest cases this term, including healthcare, may be influenced by politics, rather than the legal principles that he and other justices say should be their guide. A Bloomberg News poll in March showed 75 percent of Americans think the court's decision on the 2010 law will be based more on politics than constitutional merit.
"Someone who had just tuned into the healthcare argument might get the impression that the court is a much more partisan institution than it actually is," said David Strauss, a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago Law School.
Scalia, 76, declined to comment for this story, said Kathy Arberg, a Supreme Court spokeswoman.
In 2009, he told a college student she had posed a "nasty, impolite question" when she asked whether book tours by the justices undermined their case for banning camera coverage of arguments. In 2006, he flicked his hand under his chin, using a dismissive gesture he said was Sicilian, to show his disdain for a reporter's question.
In the courtroom, he is quick with one-liners, drawing laughter more frequently than any other justice during the court's current nine-month term, according to DC Dicta, a blog that tracks the court.
Of late, Scalia's most pointed remarks have come at the Obama administration's expense.
In January, he directed his fire at Malcolm Stewart, a Justice Department attorney. Stewart was defending the EPA's use of administrative compliance orders that demand an end to alleged environmental violations, in many cases insisting that recipients restore their land to its previous state.
Scalia made his contempt clear after Stewart said people and companies could seek to change any "infeasible" requirements.
"Well that's very nice," the justice said. "That's very nice when you've received something called a compliance order, which says you're subject to penalties" of $32,500 per day.
When Stewart said the EPA had modified the order at issue, dropping a requirement than an Idaho couple replant vegetation on their property, Scalia scoffed again. "It shows the high-handedness of the agency, it seems to me, putting in there stuff that is simply not required," he said.
The court unanimously ruled against the EPA in March, giving landowners more power to challenge compliance orders in court.
"Well, don't obligate yourself to that," Scalia said.
The following day, he mocked an assertion by another Justice Department lawyer, Edwin Kneedler, as the court considered what would happen to the rest of the law should a key provision mandating that most Americans obtain insurance be declared unconstitutional. Kneedler said the court should look at "the structure and the text" of the 2,700-page statute.
At times during the health-are debate, Scalia took to stating his position, rather than asking questions. He all but declared that he would vote to invalidate the whole law, not just the insurance mandate. "My approach would say if you take the heart out of the statute, the statute's gone," he said.
In a Labor Department case that concerns claims for overtime pay by drug-industry salespeople, lawyer Stewart urged the court to side with the employees and defer to the department's interpretation of a federal wage-and-hour law.
Scalia, who directed a dozen questions and comments at Stewart, criticized the department for laying out that position in court filings, known as amicus briefs, rather than through formal rulemaking.
Scalia described as "extraordinary" yet another administration position, this time when Verrilli urged the court to strike down Arizona's illegal immigration law. Scalia bristled when the solicitor general said "we have to have the cooperation of the Mexicans," something Verrilli said the federal government could best secure without state interference.
Not everyone thinks Scalia has gone too far. Ilya Shapiro, an opponent of the healthcare law who attends 8 to 10 arguments each term, says he sees no change in Scalia's approach.
"He's sarcastic, and he goes right to the heart of the weakness of the advocate who's in front of him," said Shapiro, a senior fellow at Washington-based Cato Institute, which advocates for limited government.
On healthcare, Scalia was simply trying to "express his exasperation with the government's assertion of power," he said.
To other Supreme Court lawyers, Scalia's questions show a troubling pattern. Rather than merely probing legal arguments, he has served as a "partisan cheerleader," said Doug Kendall, president of the Constitutional Accountability Center in Washington, which supports the administration on healthcare and immigration.
