If there ever was a real-life, flesh and blood superhero, it would be Santo — The Saint — the greatest luchadore of them all. In a phenomenal career spanning five decades, dominating the ring and starring in comic books and movies, Santo came to be revered as a folk hero in Mexico.
In his fifty movies, Santo fought rudo wrestlers, diamond smugglers, evil crime lords, Nazis, mafiosi, and an inordinate number of mad scientists, bringing every one of them to inevitable justice or fateful doom. Along the way, he grappled with a veritable encyclopedia of monsters, including zombies, mummies, vampire women, automatons, werewolves, an abominable snowman, a cyclops, Martians and witches. He even mixed it up with Frankenstein a few times.
1971's Santo vs la hija de Frankestein (note the spelling), was a slick Eastmancolor entry, with atmospheric dungeon sets, a fog-bound cemetery, and a gogo-age lab. The film's greatest asset is Cuban-born actress Gina Romand, who steals the picture as the commanding Freda, Frankenstein's daughter, cooking up ugly monsters and bossing her muscle-bound henchmen around.
Romand was a reliable featured player in a long list of Mexican B's, appearing with the legendary Cantinflas in Agente XU 777 (1963), and playing opposite several luchadores enmascarados including the black-masked Neutron, the caped Rocambole, and Karloff Lagarde, aka The Angel. Romand graced several Santo pictures, notably as a vampire queen in La venganza de las mujeres vampiro (1970).
Freda Frankenstein's particular predicament is a need to self-inject increasingly powerful doses of a painful drug that staves off her extreme old age. Having determined that the stalwart Santo's blood would improve the youth serum, she has her men kidnap Santo's girlfriend, drawing the hero into a trap. With the oiled Santo helplessly hanging from chains, the wicked Freda can't help removing his mask — his back is to the camera, of course — forcing a passionate kiss on the helpless hero, and then slapping his face.
Santo eventually escapes, only to mix it up lucha libre style with Freda's burly, box-headed Monster, Ursus, in a moody, moonlit cemetery, taking flying leaps off tombstones. After the creature is cruelly impaled on a cast iron cross, Santo shows heroic compassion, literally giving The Monster the shirt off his back, using it to plug the bloody, gruesome wound in its chest.
King-size wrestler/actor Gerardo Zepeda does double monster duty, appearing as Frankenstein's Monster, Ursus, and the ape-faced zombie, Truxon. Since 1963, Zepeda, sometimes billed as Chiquilin, has impressively clocked in over 130 film appearances playing hulking henchmen, brawling mutants and jumbo-sized bandits.
In the end, its perspective changed by Santo's kindness, The Monster turns on its maker, snapping her neck. In death, Freda turns into a bushy-wigged, wrinkle-faced mummy. Blinded by acid, The Monster stumbles into the laboratory's requisite destructo-switch and the joint blows up.
Santo is a brave, honest, even-handed hero, a sort of discount Superman, with a touch of cool James Bond élan, and the sensibilities of Smokey The Bear. Whether powerbombing opponents to the mat, or putting sweaty headlocks on movie villains, the barrel-chested Santo wore spandex tights, tall boots and a signature silver mask. Off the job, he favored sports coats and turtlenecks, and tooled around in a convertible. His monster-mash adventures channel the spirit of the classic Universal horror movies, conjugated with the impulsive energy of the brawls and broken furniture school of old Republic serials.
Santo vs la hija de Frankestein is your typically Santo outing, goofy and entertaining, though this one is cranked up a full notch by Gina Romand's lively performance.
A list of all the Santo films, with entertainingly-written synopsis, complete cast and credits, and a sampling of posters and lobby cards.
A survey of Santo films on Search My Trash.
I have an original lobby card from this film, found it at a comic convention in a bin of discarded 50 cent items. I couldn't believe it. Same bin had an original one sheet of Corman's Tomb of Ligeia too... total score that day thanks to a carelessly uninformed seller.
Better than its inspiration, "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter."
As Dread said, another great post!
I have as complete a collection of Santo movies on DVD as is possible, obtained through UK, US and of course Mexican sources. The ultimate monster fighter.

Africa's Growth Set to Reach 5.2% in 2014
Economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) continues to rise from 4.7% in 2013 to a forecasted 5.2% in 2014. Growth was notably buoyant in resource-rich countries, including Sierra Leone and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It remained steady in Cote d'Ivoire, while rebounding in Mali, supported by improved political stability and security. Non-resource-rich countries, particularly Ethiopia and Rwanda, also experienced solid economic growth in 2013.Capital flows to Sub-Saharan Africa continued to rise, reaching an estimated 5.3% of regional GDP in 2013, significantly above the developing-country average of 3.9%. Net foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows to the region grew 16% to a near-record $43 billion in 2013, boosted by new oil and gas discoveries in many countries including Angola, Mozambique, and Tanzania.With lower international food and fuel prices, and prudent monetary policy, inflation slowed in the region, growing at an annual rate of 6.3% in 2013, compared with 10.7% a year ago. Some countries, such as Ghana and Malawi, have seen an uptick in inflation because of depreciating currencies. Remittances to the region grew 6.2% to $32 billion in 2013, exceeding the record of $30 billion reached in 2011. These inflows, combined with lower food prices, boosted household real incomes and spending.Tourism also grew notably in 2013, helping to support the balance of payments of many countries in the region. According to the UN World Tourism Organisation, international tourist arrivals in Sub-Saharan Africa grew by 5.2% in 2013, reaching a record 36 million, up from 34 million in 2012, contributing to government revenue, private incomesand jobs."High-quality university programs in Africa, particularly in areas such as the applied sciences, technology, and engineering, could dramatically increase the region's competitiveness, productivity and growth," says Makhtar Diop, the World Bank Group's Vice President for Africa. "Strategic reforms are needed to expand young people's access to science-based education at both the country and the regional level, and to ensure that they graduate with cutting-edge knowledge that is relevant and meets the needs of private sector employers."Diop further notes that a number of African countries are now routinely among the world's fastest-growing countries as a result of sound macroeconomic reforms in recent years and the fact that the rest of the world has steadily updated its reality of the continent as a high opportunity region for trade, investment, business, science and technology, and tourism. "Poor physical infrastructure will, however, continue to limit the region's growth potential.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates generally to crash sensing systems for automotive vehicles, and more particularly, to a backup power supply for a crash notification system and to a method of operating the same.
Accident sensing systems typically use accelerometers to determine which safety devices to deploy. For example, a front accelerometer determines the deceleration of the vehicle. The restraints module deploys the front airbag in response to the deceleration being severe or above a predetermined amount. The deceleration corresponds to a crash impact on the front of the vehicle. Side airbag sensors operate in a similar manner in that a laterally mounted acceleration sensor measures the side deceleration on the vehicle due to a crash.
Telematics systems are currently offered by various automakers. Such systems typically contact a response center in response to the deployment of the airbags. The response center then notifies the police that some type of accident has occurred. Such a system, however, does not provide an indication to the severity of the crash.
Some telematics systems incorporate a backup battery to power the system in the event that the main battery or the vehicle wiring is damaged. During maintenance of the vehicle, however, the backup battery may be activated causing unnecessary drain on the battery. This is important especially when an extended life one-time use battery is used in the system. Such batteries are desirable to be used in such applications.
Therefore, it would be desirable to provide a crash notification system that provides a circuit to prevent unnecessary usage of the backup battery.
The present invention provides a crash notification system that uses a backup battery when a number of conditions are met to prevent the unnecessary use of the backup battery.
In one aspect of the invention, a crash notification system interfacing coupled to a communication network includes a main battery having a main battery voltage, a backup battery having a backup battery voltage, a restraint control module generating an emergency notification signal, and a telematics control unit coupled to the main battery, the backup battery and the restraint control module. The telematics control unit operates from the backup battery in response to the main battery voltage and the emergency notification signal.
In a further aspect of the invention, a method of operating a crash notification system having a main battery, a backup battery, a restraint control module, and a telematics control unit comprises sensing a main battery voltage, generating an emergency notification signal at the restraint control module and having a first state indicative of an undeployed restraint device and a second state indicative of an event threshold such as that of a deployed restraint device, when an emergency notification signal is in a second state and the main battery voltage is below a predetermined level, operating the telematics with the backup battery.
One advantage of the invention is that unnecessary use of the backup battery is prevented. This allows the design of the backup battery system to be less costly.
Other advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent when viewed in light of the detailed description of the preferred embodiment when taken in conjunction with the attached drawings and appended claims.
FIG. 1 is a block diagrammatic view of a crash notification system according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is more detailed schematic illustrating.
FIG. 3 is a method for operating the crash notification system of the present invention.
The following description is generated by way of example. Those skilled in the art will recognize various alternative embodiments and permutations of the present invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, an automotive vehicle 10 is illustrated having a crash notification system 12 according to the present invention. Crash notification system 12 has a controller 14. Controller 14 is preferably microprocessor-based and has a memory, I/O ports, and a CPU. Controller 14 may be a central controller within the vehicle or may be a plurality of separate controllers that communicate. For example, controller 14 may have a telematics control unit (TCU) 16 and a restraints control module (RCM) 18. More modules may be used such as a separate module for the rear seat sensors.
Telematics control unit 16 is coupled to a global positioning system (GPS) antenna 20. GPS antenna 20 receives signals from location satellites so that telematics control unit 16 can determine the position of the vehicle 10. Telematics control unit 16 also generates communication signals to a communication network 22.
Communication network 22 may, for example, be a cellular phone network or a satellite communication network. Communication network 22 generates communication signals to a response center 24. Response center 24 may then dispatch appropriate emergency personnel or other assistance as will be further described below. Communications may also be provided to the vehicle occupants from response center 24 through communication network 22. Thus, a two-way communication may be had.
Restraints control module 18 is coupled to occupant sensors 30A, 30B, 30C, and 30D (collectively referred to as occupant sensors 30). Occupant sensors 30 may be one of a variety of types of occupant sensors including a weight-based sensor, an infrared, ultrasonic, or other types of sensors that sense the presence of a person within a seating position of the vehicle. Preferably, an occupant sensor is provided for each seating position. Occupant sensor 30A is positioned at the driver'"'"'s seat. Occupant sensor 30B is positioned at the passenger front seat. Occupant sensors 30C and 30D are illustrated in the rear position. Although only two rear occupant sensors 30C and 30D are illustrated, various numbers of rear occupant sensors may be employed depending on the type of vehicle. For example, three occupant sensors may be provided across the rear seat. Also, several rows of seating positions and thus several rows of occupant sensors may be provided in the seats of full-size vans, mini-vans, sport utility vehicles, and station wagons. The occupant sensors generate an occupant sensor status signal that corresponds to the presence of an occupant in the various seating positions.
Restraints control module 18 may also be coupled to a plurality of seat belt switches 32A, 32B, 32C, and 32D (collectively referred to as seat belt switch 32.) Seat belt switches 32 generate a seat belt status signal corresponding to the buckle or unbuckled state of the seat belts in the various positions. Preferably, each of the seating positions has a seat belt switch. As illustrated, seat belt switch 32A corresponds to the driver seat belt switch. Seat belt switch 32B corresponds to the front passenger seat, seat belt switches 32C and 32D correspond to the rear seat belt switches.
Restraints control module 18 is also coupled to a front crash sensor 34 and side crash sensors 36A and 36B. Both front crash sensor and side crash sensors 36A and 36B are preferably accelerometer-based. The crash sensors thus generate a crash signal corresponding to a crash in the particular part of the vehicle in which the sensors are located. In response to a severe crash signal, front airbags 38A and/or 38B may be deployed. Likewise, when a severe side crash signal is generated from side sensors 36A and/or 36B, side airbags 40A and/or 40B may be deployed.
Based on this information the controller 14 may generate an emergency communication signal to communication network 22 in response to the occupant sensor status signal, and the crash status signal. This may for example be done through telematics control unit 16. As well, the seat belt status signal may also be used to form the communication signal. In response to the communication signal, the response center 24 may be used to deploy the appropriate emergency level response.
Thus, the emergency notification signal has a first state that indicates that none of the restraints has been deployed and a second state indicating that at least one of the restraints has been deployed.
Other sensors 42 may also be used by controller 14. For example, other sensors 42 may include the speed of impact, various accelerations, and the like. The direction of impact may also be determined but may be based on the input from crash sensors 34, 36A, and 36B.
Referring now to FIG. 2, controller 14 is illustrated in further detail with restraint control module 18 and telematics control unit 16. An output 50 in restraints control module 18 provides a notification message of a crash event to telematics control unit 16. An SOS button 52 may also be provided in the vehicle. SOS button 52 provides an indication that something is wrong within the vehicle without a crash event. This is a manually operated button for the vehicle operator to depress. The SOS button 52 is coupled to an OR gate 54. In addition, the restraint control module 18 is also coupled to OR gate 54. The restraint control module generates the emergency notification signal through output 53 which is electrically coupled to OR gate 54.
Telematics control unit 16 has a logic circuit 56 therein. Logic circuit 56 is coupled to main battery 58 and a backup battery 60. Each battery 58 and 60 is coupled to a common ground 62. Logic circuit 56 controls the operation of telematics control unit using either battery 58 or backup battery 60 as will be further described below. Logic circuit 56 may be part of the controller of the telematics control unit 16 or a separate piece of logic. Logic control circuit 56 thus receives the signal from OR gate 54 to determine whether the main battery 58 or the backup battery 60 should be used. Of course, those skilled in the art will recognize that logic circuit 56 may incorporate the OR gate 54 therein. Logic circuit 56 may include an integral voltage sensing circuit or a separate voltage sensor 66.
Referring now to FIG. 3, the operation of the crash notification system is described. It should be noted that the order of the steps in the system may be changed. In step 80 if the emergency notification signal 80 is generated, or in step 82 if the SOS button is depressed, step 84 is performed. The emergency notification signal may be generated by the restraint control module as described above. A change of state may be used to determine whether a restraint has been deployed. In step 84 the main battery voltage is sensed. In step 86 if the main battery voltage is greater than a predetermined voltage then step 88 is executed. In step 88 the system is operated with the main battery while not operating at all with the backup battery. After step 88 step 94 is executed. If the triggering event has not terminated step 84 is repeated. When the main voltage drops below the predetermined voltage in step 86, step 92 is executed. In step 82 it is determined whether or not the SOS button has been depressed. If the SOS button has not been depressed then step 90 is performed. In step 80 if the emergency notification signal has not changed state, step 90 is executed. In step 88 the system is then operated with the main battery. The system then checks to see if the triggering event has terminated in step 94. If the telematics unit 16 has not terminated the call, steps 84, 86, 88 and 94 are continuously repeated. Otherwise the system is reset to step 90.
Referring back to step 80, if the emergency notification signal has changed state then step 84 is executed. In step 92 the system is operated with the backup battery.
Referring back to step 82, if the SOS button has been depressed and the main voltage is lower than a predetermined voltage then step 92 is also executed in which the system is operated with the backup battery.
Thus, if there is a loss of the main battery due to crash or a problem with the main battery the system will be operated with the backup battery. If the main battery is disconnected such as during servicing, operation with the backup battery will not be triggered unless the SOS button has been depressed.
While particular embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, numerous variations and alternate embodiments will occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, it is intended that the invention be limited only in terms of the appended claims.

Fears over UK vet agency move
UK - Defra is to go ahead with plans to turn the State Veterinary Service in to an executive agency despite serious concerns from vets and industry leaders.
In an announcement on Monday (Nov 29), DEFRA said the prospect had received broad backing from those that replied to the government consultation on the issue.
But the British Veterinary Association – which represents almost half of the veterinary profession – voiced several concerns about the practicality of such a move.
"Our concerns are for the quality of feedback coming from grassroots to the chief veterinary officer who has to provide the minister with relevant and accurate advice, and it's important that they don't become isolated," said BVA president Bob McCracken.
"It will merely serve to accelerate the detachment of ministers from those on the ground who have to implement policy," he added.
Officially, the SVS will become an executive agency from Apr 1, 2005, when it will receive the necessary additional services allowing it to operate as an executive of DEFRA.
The change to the service will only take effect in Great Britain as there will be no change to the system in Northern Ireland which will remain under DEFRA administration.
Lib-Dem food and rural affairs spokesman Roger Williams was also disappointed by DEFRA's decision.
"The announcement confirms just how little this government cares about listening to the experts or carrying out genuine, democratic consultations," said Mr Williams.

Jesuit Jam: Supporting Undocumented Students at Loyola University Chicago
ISN STAFF | February 21, 2017
The Jesuits of Loyola University Chicago (particularly the younger ones!) showed off their musical and basketball prowess in anticipation of an important fundraising event to support a scholarship fund for undocumented students seeking to study at one of Loyola's campuses in the Chicagoland area. Their efforts are tied to the "Jesuit Jam" a yearly collaboration with the university basketball teams to highlight the school's Jesuit mission, encourage support of Loyola's teams, and support causes important to the campus community. "Jesuit Jam" was started in 2001 to welcome then-president Fr. Michael Garanzini, S.J., to campus and has become a campus tradition. Past Jesuit Jams have supported local, national, and international Jesuit partners engaged in social ministry.
Loyola Ramblers can get fired up with this "Jesuit Jam" video featuring a number of young Jesuits in studies at Loyola along with Jesuits and others currently in ministry as faculty and administrators on campus.
Supporting the needs of undocumented students is not new to Loyola, whose Board of Trustees approved the implementation of the Magis Scholarship Fund, a student-led initiative to support undocumented undergraduate students in 2016. Voting unanimously, the board affirmed a call from the undergraduate student body, which voted to support their undocumented peers by adding an individual $2.50 student fee each semester to support the fund which could generate up to $50,000 each academic year.
In 2013, Loyola's Stritch School of Medicine become the first medical school in the nation to publicly accept applications for admission from undocumented immigrants, which was initiated in response to the establishment of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, put into effect by President Obama that same year.
In 2015, Arrupe College opened at Loyola, offering a two-year rigorous liberal arts education to a diverse population, many of whom are the first in their family to pursue higher education — including undocumented students. Using an innovative model that ensures affordability while providing care for the whole person—intellectually, morally, and spiritually—Arrupe prepares its graduates to continue on to a bachelor's program or move into meaningful employment.

Q: Nesting quotes: a message tag inside a javascript fragment inside of an actionsubmit tag I have a submit button where I want a confirmation pop-up, doing this works fine:
<g:actionSubmit value="Delete"
action="deleteTpsReport"
onclick="return confirm('ohnoes!');"

But when I want to move the confirmation text into the messages.properties file I try:
<g:actionSubmit value="Delete"
action="deleteTpsReport"
onclick="return confirm('<g:message code="tps.delete.confirmation"/>');"

which doesn't work, the ');" gets displayed on the page and the javascript is totally ignored.
Is there a way to nest these tags so that I can use message in the event handler of the actionSubmit?

A: This should work:
<g:actionSubmit value="Delete"
action="deleteTpsReport"
onclick="return confirm('${message(code: 'tps.delete.confirmation')}');"/>

A: You might try escaping the inner double quotes with the HTML entity equivalent, or with the HTML entity for single quotes:
onclick="return confirm('<g:message code="tps.delete.confirmation"/>');"

or
onclick="return confirm('<g:message code='tps.delete.confirmation'/>');"

Campari is a contemporary and charismatic classic that has remained unchanged throughout the years to the original formula. The creation of Campari was the result of the talent of Gaspare Campari, master drink maker and founder of the company. His experiments in concocting new beverages in Novara, in 1860, resulted in a recipe that still today remains a secret known only to the very few people in charge of the production process.
Campari is an alcoholic spirit obtained from the infusion of bitter herbs, aromatic plants and fruit in alcohol and water. Many have tried to guess the number of ingredients: some say there are 20 or 60, but others list the ingredients at 80. To this day, alcohol and water are the only known ingredients of its special and secret recipe. Its vibrant red colour, intense aroma and distinctive bitter taste make it extremely versatile, and the perfect base for some of the most famous cocktails around the world.
An ambitious and innovative project which aims at confirming the link between Campari and art in all its multiple forms.

Our fatal accident claims lawyers can help you with:
Claims on behalf of the loved one's estate
Claims by dependants
Bereavement compensation
Losing a loved one in an accident is an incredibly traumatic and distressing experience. It can happen in various unexpected or unforeseen circumstances, which can include accidents at work or road traffic accidents. We understand that whatever the circumstances, during any claims involving the death of a loved one it will be an incredibly upsetting time.
At Jordans Solicitors, we have a highly experienced team of fatal accident claims Lawyers. They can support you and your family if you have lost a loved one in an accident and want to make a claim for compensation. We will handle your claim with the highest levels of professionalism, sensitivity and understanding, working towards a settlement that secures the future for you and your family.
What is a fatal accident?
A fatal accident is an accident which causes the death of a person. Where that accident was caused by the negligence of another the family of the victim may be able to claim, in their own right and on behalf of the estate of the deceased, for injuries suffered in the accident and also, for dependency and a bereavement award in certain circumstances.
The law in relation to these claims is set out in The Fatal Accident Act 1976 and the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1971. Claims involving fatalities can be caused by:
Road traffic accident
Machinery malfunction
Care home negligence
Accidents on public transport accident
Exposure to hazardous substances
Organised events and trips
Other workplace accidents
There are many more examples of types of accident which have caused death which is why it is important to speak to a legal representative who can assess your claim and guide you through the process.
Fatal accident claims guide
We understand no amount of money will ever replace your lost loved one but our aim is to ensure compensation is secure to help improve the quality of life for those left behind. Our service extends, where necessary, to dealing with any inquest that may follow death as a result of an accident.
Evidence will be presented to the Coroner about the circumstances surrounding the death. We will liaise with the Coroner's office, the investigating police officers and obtain advanced disclosure of documents where possible.
Should attendance at that hearing be necessary, questions will be put to witnesses on your behalf to establish the accident circumstances. Our aim is to work with you through the complex procedure governing this area of law and ensure all aspects of the possible claim are covered.
Who can make a fatal accident claim?
There are various parts to a fatal accident claim.
A bereavement award can be claimed by a spouse or child under the age of 18 at the time of the deceased persons death. That bereavement award is a set sum which currently stands in English and Welsh law to £12980.00. It is also possible for those who are dependent upon the deceased to make a claim for that dependency. Those categories of person who may be able to claim dependency include:
Biological child
Any other child treated as the deceased's own
Parent or grandparent
Sibling (including uncle and aunt)
A claim on behalf of the estate of the deceased for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity that person suffered from before their death can be claimed by the Executor or Administrator of the estate.
Jordans' Fatal Accident Claims team have advised and supported claims from parents, grandparents, husbands and wives, co-habitees and children of victims who have tragically lost their lives in accidents that were not their fault, such as:
Fatal accidents at work
There are limitations on what can be claimed and who can make a claim. These can be broken down as follows:
Fatal accident claims on behalf of your loved one's estate
This includes compensation for losses suffered, such as funeral expenses and damage to any property (the car, motorbike, bicycle etc.). It can also include a claim for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity your loved one may have suffered as a result of the accident, before they passed away.
Fatal accident claims by dependants
If you were financially dependent on your loved one, fatal accident compensation claims for lost future income or pension will be made on your behalf. Loss of your loved one's support following his or her death will include claims for such things as:
Contribution to the family earnings
Housework and gardening
This can offer a substantial sum, as it is to reflect the whole of your loved one's lost potential.
This compensation is a fixed sum set by law. It has been increased but is still considered by many to be very low. The figure applicable to deaths on or after the 1st April 2013 is £12,980 but only the wife or husband of the person who died or parents of a child under 18 or a son or daughter where that person is aged under 18 at the time of the deceased persons death can make this claim.
It is unfortunate and outdated that a common law husband or wife of the deceased still remains unable to claim. We are hopeful, following a recent County Court decision, that the law will be changed to reflect more modern family circumstances. Currently, the law in England and Wales is inconsistent in relation to the availability of a bereavement award for civil partners. Case law at the Supreme Court ruled that civil partners should be treated in the same way as spouses and should be entitled to claim a bereavement award. However, the law in England and Wales does not yet reflect this. Therefore, if you wish to bring a claim as a result of the death of your civil partner then you may be able to include a claim for a bereavement award. However, the technical stance currently is that the law does not support recovery of this award

CHICAGO (PTA) — Lonestar Audio of Lakeway Texas, USA hosted two of the most exciting exhibit rooms at AXPONA 2019, but for now we'll just talk about one. In partnership with T+A Elektroakustik's Lothar Wiemann — head of research and development — we took of a detailed tour of the system and its newest components. Other players involved: Aurender, Critical Mass Systems, and Synergistic Research.
The big news, is the introduction of the new T+A Elektroakustik SDV 3100 HV DAC. Which can do resolution levels up to: 32-bit / 768 kHz for PCM and DSD 1024 for bitstream data. Those are rates at which the signal almost turns into analog, making not only the digital waveform extremely smooth but the music too. The new DAC actually converts at a rate of 3.2 Billion — Billion with a B — conversions per second. That last statement made, resides in state-of-the-art territory, and I can only think of one other manufacturer who dares to toil in that same arena at the moment. With T+A Elektroakustik having thirteen engineers on hand, and itself not being a small company, you'd expect advancements and forefront technology to find freedom at their loading docks.
The story doesn't end there, the T+A Elektroakustik M 40 monoblock amplifiers, a hybrid design with tube gain-stage input and discrete solid-state after that. Running at 700 volts on the rails, these are high-voltage. You've been warned. Higher voltages means, higher transfer rates, which then means linear. This is why tubes sound so good, but in the hybrid design, you have tube sound but with massive amounts of power behind it.
I also can't forget the T+A Elektroakustik Solitaire CWT 100 40th Anniversary Editions, a line-array design loudspeaker with a design technology that T+A calls "cylinder wave transducer", all underpinned with four eight-inch woofers on each cabinet. Four woofers are easier to count than all of the drivers on the front baffle of the speaker, but know they are many. Including the electrostatic tweeter.
In speaking with Lothar Wiemann, we delved into what made the new T+A Elektroakustik DAC special. It's not an off-the-shelf integrated-circuit they use, instead it is in fact built from completely discrete components. Typically in an integrated circuit, DSD signals are not processed purely as DSD, they are converted to a low-bit PCM format, and then converted as low-bit PCMs. Lothar and the engineers at T+A Elektroakustik have tried to preserve the DSD signal by building a true one-bit converter. This new second generation doubles the conversion rate of the previous model from DSD 512, all the way to DSD 1024. More than that, 100 Mhz DSD clock frequency, and 32 conversion for each incoming bit of data. That's where the 3.2 Billion conversions per second come into play.
The whole T+A Elektroakustik system, when coming together is magically very analog. Giving myself over to the system, I was seduced by the Solitaire loudspeaker's gut rattling bass. Soundstage tall as it is wide. Drum speed and attack of snares are superior. Human voice would be characterized as slightly lean, with ribs showing. Detail and structure of vocals were offered up by the pound, with a little bit of the "chesty" flesh we associated with larger speakers not as much present. Some might even say, this was due to a lack of boominess in the mid-bass, which in the end would be a welcomed characteristic. So much of this speakers sound was down right perfect, even the slightest smudge on the lens became a personal nitpick, so disregard anything I have to say that might seem negative.
These Solitaire loudspeakers sound amazing. So nimble in their movement, they imparted a percussive quality to all leading edges. As for this being a line-source loudspeaker, and seldom a design I find in my favor, this one is by far my favourite to date. During my listening session, I did find myself changing seats. The more near-field front row was exciting and ultimately the most informative to the character of the loudspeaker. Stepping back a row, I was welcomed to a bigger presentation, better bass, and more fun overall. I don't think this speaker can be beaten, even when I surely tried.

Asian shares rise after US stocks set records as fears fade
by: YURI KAGEYAMA, Associated Press
Posted: Jan 9, 2020 / 08:46 AM CST / Updated: Jan 9, 2020 / 10:24 PM CST
FILE – In this Jan. 2, 2020, file photo traders monitor stock prices at the New York Stock Exchange. The U.S. stock market opens at 9:30 a.m. EST on Thursday, Jan. 9. (AP Photo/Mark Lennihan, File)
TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares rose Friday as worries receded the United States and Iran might be stepping closer to the edge of war, and U.S. indexes hit records.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 edged up 0.2% in morning trading to 23,776.09. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.7% to 6,923.50. South Korea's Kospi gained 0.4% to 2,194.77. Hong Kong's Hang Seng is up 0.1% at 28,597.57, while the Shanghai Composite lost 0.3% to 3,086.59.
On Wall Street, money flowed into riskier investments, such as technology stocks, and trickled out of traditional hiding spots for investors when they're nervous, such as gold. A measure of fear in the stock market had its largest drop in a week.
Stocks have been rallying after investors took comments from President Donald Trump and Iranian officials to mean no military escalation is imminent in their tense conflict. Markets had tumbled on the threat of war after the United States killed a top Iranian general in a drone strike.
The S&P 500 rose 21.65 points, or 0.7%, to 3,274.70 and surpassed its record set last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 211.81 points, or 0.7%, to 28,956.90, and the Nasdaq composite rose 74.18, or 0.8%, to 9,203.43. Both also hit records.
Diminishing worries about a U.S.-Iran war put more of the market's focus on the economy, corporate profits and other inputs that directly affect stock prices.
"The market is in pretty solid shape," said Matt Hanna, portfolio manager at Summit Global Investments. "We could see some volatility in the beginning of 2020" following a well-worn path of choppy first halves for stocks during presidential election years, "but we don't see any sort of recession on the horizon."
Across markets, worries about a recession have faded since last year as central banks cut interest rates and pumped stimulus into the global economy. The United States and China also moved toward an interim deal in their trade war. China confirmed on Thursday that its chief envoy in tariff talks with Washington will visit next week to sign their "Phase 1" trade deal.
"Risk appetite continues to improve as investors judged the U.S.-Iran tensions to not be as concerning as thought while focusing on the upcoming leads including U.S.-China trade and a potential payrolls surprise into the end of week," said Jingyi Pan, market strategist at IG in Singapore.
The spotlight will move next to Friday's labor report, and economists expect it to show employers added 160,000 jobs last month. They also forecast the unemployment rate to hold at its low level of 3.5%. The numbers are key because a strong job market has been propping up the economy and allowing U.S. households to continue to spend, even as manufacturing weakens due to tariffs and trade wars.
Benchmark U.S. crude fell 13 cents to $59.43 a barrel. It slipped 5 cents to $59.56 a barrel on Thursday. Brent crude, the international standard, fell 15 cents to $65.22 a barrel.
The dollar rose to 109.53 Japanese yen from 109.36 yen on Thursday. The euro fell to $1.1107 from $1.1114 .

Smartphone Ban at Wicklow Primary School is Smart Decision
Fianna Fáil's Health spokesperson Stephen Donnelly has praised a County Wicklow primary school for introducing a ban on smartphones.
The new rule means that St Cronan's Boys' N.S. in Bray will only allow pupils basic mobiles for calls and texts which must be switched off during the school day.
Deputy Donnelly commented, "This is a brilliant decision. St Cronan's principal, Maeve Tierney is leading by example when it comes to protecting our children. And I'm delighted to see that the ban is based entirely on the wishes of parents. A survey carried out by the school in June saw 91.2% of parents vote in favour of the ban.
"I would personally like to see every primary school in the country follow suit and keep smartphones off their grounds, but I understand that this can only be done with the consent of mothers and fathers.
"As parents we really need to educate ourselves about the dangers that our sons and daughters are facing online. They are put at risk not only by harmful content, but they're exposed to a world of potential cyber bullying too. The longer we can keep them out of that world the better.
"The Government also needs to start taking its responsibility in this area seriously. In December 2016 Fianna Fáil backed the Parent and Student Charter Bill, a new law which would require every school to consult with parents and students on key issues like smartphone use.
"We're now almost three-quarters of the way through 2019 and the law still hasn't changed. The Education Minister needs to end the delay – he owes it to all our children", concluded Donnelly.

Striker, midfielder at top of Impact coach Rémi Garde's wish list
The Impact had a slow start in Garde's first season, but a strong second half had them in contention for the MLS playoffs.
Pat Hickey, Montreal Gazette
MONTREAL, QUE.: NOVEMBER 1, 2018-- Montreal Impact Head coach Remi Garde speaks to the media in Montreal on Thursday November 1, 2018. (Allen McInnis / MONTREAL GAZETTE) ORG XMIT: 616234	Allen McInnis / Montreal Gazette
Rémi Garde says the Impact needs to fill two key spots next season, but he admitted that it might be difficult to find the player he wants for one of those positions.
"We need a striker and I would like to improve a position in the midfield," Garde said during his 2018 season post mortem Thursday at Centre Nutrilait. "I have an idea of the profile of the player I want, but I'm not sure I will find exactly the one I want on the market. I don't know if I'll have to adapt or the player will fit what I need. I like the structure of the team and I don't want to destroy that."
The Impact will go shopping during the European transfer window in January and Garde said he's willing to be patient — to a point.
"The best situation is to bring in the right guy at the right time," said Garde. "I would hope he's ready for the preseason games and I can give him the program. But if I have to wait, I'd prefer to wait a little bit if I'm not finding the guy I want. If I can get a player a month before the season, it would be okay (because) a good player can settle in quickly. The better the player, the easier he can fit in."
The Impact had a slow start in Garde's first season, but a strong second half had them in contention for the Major League Soccer playoffs until the final weekend of the season. He said the biggest challenge coming from Europe was to deal with the novelty of MLS.
"It's not the fact that it was MLS, but that it was new," said Garde. "It would have been new for me in Japan or Belgium to get familiar with the environment. The challenge in MLS is the surface, whether you play on turf or natural grass, the temperature, the trips.
Despite missing MLS playoffs, Impact players buoyed by strong finish

"What I see different in this league is the games within the game," said Garde. "Sometimes it's slow, sometimes it's speed and it's like in Europe. Sometimes it's slow between the two boxes and then it's physical in the boxes. It's difficult to define a clear style of play in MLS. It's a different style in every team. To compare it to Europe, one game you're playing against a French team and then you're against an Italian team, a Belgian team, a Dutch team. It changes every weekend."
Garde dismissed rumours that he might leave for a coaching job with Bordeaux and he said the goal is to re-sign goalkeeper Evan Bush. The 32-year-old, who played every minute of every MLS game, earned US$157,925 this past season.
"My priority is for Evan Bush to be back next season," said Garde. "I would be stupid to say I don't want Evan Bush. We've started negotiations with his agent and hopefully we'll be able to sign him and start with him next season."
Maxime Crépeau is coming off a strong season with the Ottawa Fury, setting a United Soccer League record with 14 shutouts. Crépeau has said he won't go back to Ottawa, but his future with the Impact is problematic because he told Garde he wants to keep playing as a No. 1 'keeper.
Asked about his goal for next season, Garde said: "To qualify for the playoffs. I'm disappointed, as are the players, that we didn't reach the playoffs. We didn't succeed, but I think we improved as a team and I have a feeling we're starting the next season being competitive rather than the situation we started last season."

I made this cupcakes during first week of this month for Home bakers challenge. Because of Navratri/Puratassi I adapted the recipe suggested by Nalini to egg less version and thanks Priya sis for this wonderful challenge. As today is National Chocolate Cup Cake day this is the apt recipe to post I used pumpkin puree for the cake batter and I have given two type of frosting recipes as well. As the weather was dull that day, after few mummy effect over cupcakes i moved to plain frosting and rushed to click pictures…You can choose any frosting and decorate as you wish 🙂 Recently I applied butterscotch frosting and updated few pictures.
*You can reduce cocoa powder a bit when using strong coffee powder.
Instead of pumpkin puree you can go for yogurt or sour cream in that case increase 1/4tsp of baking soda.
I used melted mini whole marshmallows icing and butter cream frosting for those cupcakes and shared both the pictures.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cupcake tin with holders.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt (Pic1).
In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar (Pic 1) until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add Pumpkin puree and vanilla extract and beat until just combined (Pic 2).
Beat in flour mixture in batches, add few tbsps of milk for batter consistency (Pic 3), but i didn't add so.
Pour batter into cupcake holders (Pic 4).
Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 15-22 minutes (Pic 5).
Add hot milk to marshmallows and toss well, keep it aside for 10 minutes.
This way the marshmallows become tender and easily blend with butter n sugar later.
In a medium bowl, beat butter,sugar and soaked marshmallows together.
If needed add more sugar and continue to mix until frosting is proper fluffy consistency.
Regular marshmallows contain less than 2% of gelatin also you can go for vegan marshmallows.
Combine confectioners' sugar, softened butter, vanilla and few drops of milk/water to achieve frosting consistency.
While frosting is still wet, press 2 colored gems (letter side down) of the same color on each cupcake to create the eyes as shown in above picture.
you have done perfectly priya…looks yum..
Well captured and perfectly baked. Looks so colorful and yummy.
wow.. looks delicious..mouth watering cupcakes..
The theme may be ghostly but I am loving the attractive cupcakes you have shared.
You have explained it very well, Kids will love it.

These emerging perspectives focus on the scholarship of class, race, gender and the state in education, and open up new avenues for theoretical and empirical work in the field.
