Very good resort with all facilities. Very ideal for get together.
Excellent service. I had booked the hotel on a different date but they still worked out well and gave me all the support to make necessary changes ..
A very homely and calm resort. Five of us stayed here for 1 night and had a very good experience. TheHe resort is close to the top slip and parambikulam reserves and was remotely located yet had good amenities considering the remoteness. We were the only guest in the resort during our stay so we good wonderful freshly cooked homely food also. The only minus point is there is no phone in the room so we need to walk upto the reception every time something is required.

Practical Meerkat's 52 Bits of Useful Info for Young (and Old) Writers, week 47
Posted on November 27, 2011 by Laura Anne Gilman
by Laura Anne Gilman
I hope all the USAns reading here had a lovely Thanksgiving. I did – except for the part where my main computer ended up in the shop, and my backup refused to connect to the internet, leaving me reliant on my Nook and smartphone for three days of email and social networking. Eeek But the main computer's back in my possession, and so here I am….
You may have noticed by now that the one thing we as writers don't lack for is advice. Advice for writers for wanting to break into publishing? Check. There's advice for writers wanting to expand their craft, change genres, figure out if their publisher just isn't that into you, or anything specific you might need. Some of it's useful, some of it's awful, but it's all there for the taking.
But there's one piece of advice that I don't think is given – or thought about – enough: advice on choosing a role model.
A role model is different from a mentor. A mentor is someone who is taking an interest in your a career. A role model is someone you look at and say "I wanna be them."
Already have one, you say? Take another look. The most important role model you could chose… may not be who you think.
Most writers want to emulate the most successful writer they know. The one who made it right out of the gate, the one with the movie deal and the personal assistant and the full-time publicist. The one who has fans who kvell in public, who create SRO signings and readings, who hang in the writer's every crafted word.
And hey, yeah, me too. I've got a best-seller in my scopes, and you better believe I've been taking notes.
But as much fun – and as hope-making – it may be to take a best-seller as your role model, those people may not be your best choice. Or they may be – but you're missing the reason why. And by going for the bright and shiny, you may be overlooking the person you should be emulating.
I'm going to deviate from my usual pattern here, in naming names, and giving specifics from my own life. Aside from my usual "I wanna be X when I grow up," I have two role models, two people I look to and say "these people. I learn from them."
The first is Rachel Caine. Many, many people know Rachel. She's a New York Times bestseller. Her fans flock to her, her books sell like the proverbial hotcakes, she's an in-demand and very gracious lady (in the old-fashioned sense of the word, too). But she's not someone I consider a role model for those reasons.
Rachel is my role model because when I'm sitting at my desk, depressed and cranky, pretty sure that I've done something to kill my career and I'll never work again… I think, "Gilman, did RC give up? When her first books didn't sell, when she had to write under another name, when her health was so bad and things probably looked so craptastic that she was ready to give it up and focus on her day job, did she give up? The hell she did. And neither will you."
My second role model is Charles Grant. We lost Charlie a number of years ago, and unless you're a horror reader, you may never have heard his name – which is a damn shame, because he was an excellent writer and anthologist. And, not incidentally, a lovely cantankerous SOB of a teddy bear. But he was also, by his own admission, a terrible businessman. If there was a wrong decision to make, regarding the direction his career should take, or how to handle financial decisions, odds were Charlie made it.
Him? He's a role model, you're asking? Yes. Because when he realized, many years ago, that I wasn't going to be talked out of this business, he took me aside and in his best SOB Uncle way, said "Gilman, look at my career. Don't do a damn thing I did."
I laughed. But I looked. And I listened. Still am.
This is a damned hard life, publishing. Success is not only elusive, it's often fleeting. Both Charlie and Rachel knew/know this. They faced career disaster – often more than once. And they faced it down, and learned from it – and kept going.
You want to survive, long-term? Remember that for all of us, it's a ride of ups and downs. Even the bestsellers don't knock it out of the ballpark with every book, sales or acclaim-wise. Everyone hits downspikes, everyone has off years. Dry spells come, and occasionally you have to reinvent yourself, to stay alive.
So here's my advice: forget about following the shiny. Look for more. Find someone who was tested and survived, who came out the other end without giving up.
That's a role model for a life in publishing, right there.

In the days when my daughter had stars in her eyes and wanted to be, not just an actress, but AN ACTRESS, I told her that my model for success (in film, at least) was Charles Lane. Everyone knows him (tho' most people wouldn't know his name). He got his first role in 1931, and acted steadily through 1996 (and did voiceover work as late as 2006, when he was a strapping young man of 101). He did film, he did TV, he did radio. In It's a Wonderful Life he's Mr. Potter's real estate agent, the guy who tells Potter that "One of these days this bright young man is going to be asking George Bailey for a job." He worked for 75 years, and I'm fairly certain there were lean years in there. But that's a career. I wouldn't mind being a bestseller, but I'd really like to be a survivor.

Jo-Ida C. Hansen is a counseling psychologist known for her research on career and work planning and measurement of vocational interests.  She is Professor Emerita of Psychology at the University of Minnesota.  She is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, the American Psychological Society, the American Counseling Association, and the American Association of Applied and Preventive Psychology

Hansen received the Leona Tyler Award for Lifetime Achievement in Counseling Psychology in 1996. She received the Distinguished Achievement Award from the Society for Vocational Psychology in 2008. She received the Minnesota Psychological Association Graduate Education Faculty Award in 2011. She received the SCP Elder Recognition Award from the Society of Counseling Psychology in 2015.

Hansen served as President of the American Psychological Association, Division 17 (Counseling Psychology) in 1994.  She co-edited The Oxford Handbook of Counseling Psychology and the APA Handbook of Testing and Assessment in Psychology.

Biography
Hansen attended the University of Minnesota where she completed a  B.A. in 1969, a M.A. in 1971, and a PhD in psychology in 1974.

Hansen received the E. K. Strong, Jr. Gold Medal Award in 1983 to honor her research contributions in the measurement of vocational interests, and the Exemplary Practices Award of the Association for Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development in 1986 and 1990. Hansen also received the Extended Research Award of the American Association of Counseling and Development in 1990 and American Counseling Association Research Award (with Sharon Sackett) in 1996.

Prior to her retirement, Hansen was a member of the faculty in the area of Counseling Psychology at the University of Minnesota, where she served as Director of the Center for Interest Measurement Research. Hansen was an early advocate for the discipline of counseling psychology and served as Editor of the Journal of Counseling Psychology.  She emphasized "...[ ] counseling psychology was one of the first areas within applied psychology to devote attention to issues of diversity, social action, and justice; this tradition continues with diversity broadly defined." Hansen was involved in developing a long-standing partnership between the University of Minnesota's Vocational Assessment Clinic and a Neighborhood Involvement Program that provided mental health programs for the uninsured.

Research
Hansen's research explored vocational interests in relation to gender, cultural background, and personality with the goal of using the information to help people make career decisions. In graduate school, she worked with Charles Johansson in exploring vocational interests in relation to personality characteristics, such as dogmatism (i.e., rigid certainty about the correctness of one's views). In an early study (involving men only), high dogmatism was associated with interests in military, business, and management-related occupations while low dogmatism was associated with interest in arts.

Hansen was involved in updating the Strong Interest Inventory, originally developed by Edward Kellog Strong Jr., as an assessment of vocational interests. The Strong Interest Inventory has been widely used to identify people's preferred activities as a means of helping them to find suitable careers. Originally called the Strong Vocational Interest Blank, the inventory had separate forms for men and women. In 1974, Hansen was part of the team that published a new version (called the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory) that combined the men's and women's inventories into a single form. With David P. Campbell and others, Hansen wrote the manual, user's guide, and applications and technical guide for the revised Strong Interest Inventory.

Early in her career, Hansen aimed to relate John Holland's vocational model, which delineated six occupational themes (known as Holland codes), to women's responses on the Strong Interest Inventory. Notably, Hansen and her colleagues observed gender differences in the structure of interests using Holland's scheme, even when male and female participants were matched in occupational titles – suggesting that the theoretical model may need some adjustments to better account for women's behavior. Hansen's later work confirmed the stability of the observed gender differences in interests using data conducted over a span of decades.

Hansen collaborated with Thomas J. Bouchard and others on research exploring the vocational interests of twins, including some who had been reared apart due to adoption. This study aimed to estimate genetic and environmental effects on responses to the Strong Interest Inventory.

Alleged International Credit Card Trafficker Arrested in France on U.S. Charges Related to Sale of Stolen Card Data
WASHINGTON – An international credit card trafficker thought to be one of the most prolific sellers of stolen data was arrested in Nice, France, on Aug. 7, 2010, on charges in an indictment unsealed today in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, announced Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. for the District of Columbia and U.S. Secret Service Assistant Director for Investigations Michael Merritt.
Vladislav Anatolievich Horohorin, 27, aka "BadB" of Moscow, Russia, was indicted by a federal grand jury in November 2009 on charges of access device fraud and aggravated identity theft. The indictment was unsealed today, following Horohorin's arrest by French authorities during the weekend.
"In just the last week, we've seen an alleged hacker extradited to the United States to face charges, and now, a credit card data dealer arrested abroad on U.S. charges," said Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Criminal Division. "Cyber criminals who target U.S citizens should not fool themselves into believing they can elude justice simply because they commit crimes outside of our borders. As this and so many other cases demonstrate, working hand in hand with our partners around the globe, we will do everything in our power to bring these criminals to the United States to answer for their alleged crimes."
"Computer hackers and identity thieves threaten the security of millions of innocent Americans with their crimes. These criminals are mistaken to think that they can escape detection by committing their crimes behind a computer screen in a foreign country," said U.S. Attorney Machen. "The arrest and prosecution of Mr. Horohorin demonstrates that we will identify, apprehend, and bring to justice in the United States even the most sophisticated international computer hackers."
"The network created by the founders of CarderPlanet, including Vladislav Horohorin, remains one of the most sophisticated organizations of online financial criminals in the world," said U.S. Secret Service Assistant Director for Investigations Michael Merritt. "This network has been repeatedly linked to nearly every major intrusion of financial information reported to the international law enforcement community. This arrest is an illustration of the success that comes from international law enforcement and private sector partnerships and confirms the Secret Service commitment to traversing the globe in pursuit of online criminals."
According to the indictment, Horohorin was the subject of an undercover investigation by U.S. Secret Service agents. Horohorin, who is a citizen of Israel and the Ukraine, allegedly used online criminal forums such as "CarderPlanet" and "carder.su" to sell stolen credit card information, known as "dumps," to online purchasers around the world. According to the indictment, Horohorin, using the online name "BadB," advertised the availability of stolen credit card information through these web forums, and directed purchasers to create accounts at "dumps.name," a fully-automated dumps vending website operated by Horohorin and hosted outside the United States. The website was designed to assist in the exchange of funds for the stolen credit card information. Horohorin allegedly directed buyers to fund their "dumps.name" account using funds transferred by services including "Webmoney," an online currency service hosted in Russia. The purchaser would then access the "dumps.name" website and select the desired stolen credit card data. Using an online undercover identity, U.S. Secret Service agents negotiated the sale of numerous stolen credit card dumps.
French law enforcement authorities, working with the U.S. Secret Service, identified Horohorin in Nice, France, as he was attempting to board a flight to return to Moscow. Horohorin was arrested by French authorities on a provisional arrest warrant based upon the U.S. charges. He is currently being detained in France pending extradition to the United States.
Horohorin faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the count of access device fraud. Horohorin is also charged with one count of aggravated identify theft, which carries a statutory consecutive penalty of two years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
The charges in an indictment are merely allegations and a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Joseph Springsteen of the Criminal Division's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section. He also serves as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Assistant U.S. Attorney Glenn Leon also provided assistance in this case. Department of Justice Attaché Monique Roth of the Criminal Division's Office of International Affairs provided assistance in this matter.
This case is being investigated by the U.S. Secret Service. Key assistance was provided by the French Police Nationale Aux Frontiers and the Netherlands Police Agency National Crime Squad High Tech Crime Unit. The FBI's Atlanta Field Office also provided information, which assisted in this investigation.

Hi I am Michelle Houghton or better known as "scrapweaver" on the web. I am a stay-at-home Mom who teaches aerobics and scrapbooking classes on the side. I have been married to an amazing man for 12 years and have two beautiful girls, Sara and Lori, 7 and 5. We live in Iowa now but both John and I have lived all over the country. I have lived at last count in 9 different states and 14 different communities across the US. Hopefully we have settled now for a good long while. Besides the obvious passion for everything scrappy I love the out of doors, dance, and fitness. It is all enough to keep me busy and out of trouble. I have been scrapping a little over 12 years. I started right before John and I got married.
Mostly I scrap my family. My two girls are the stars and the rest of us are the supporting cast– but with those two beautiful faces no one seems to be too upset to take the backseat.
I have a beautiful scrapbook room now so I am mostly busy there, but I am known to pack up my gear and hit a local crop for an evening too. Nights are my best scrapping time when my kids are in bed. I have fewer distractions then–although as they get older that is changing too!
Describing my style is difficult. I would say a lot of times I am a copier in that I tend to take on other people's styles that I am learning from, but the layouts you would recognize as mine, all have an artistic, hand-made element to them.
Besides the obvious must-haves, I would have to say pens would definitely make my list. I am not sure if any of my layouts in the past few years are missing a Sharpie on them somewhere.
There are really only two items on my wish list right now: 1) an electronic cutter, which is big money so it is on the waiting list, but I would love to be able to hook up to the computer and have endless fonts without wasting the extra letters; and 2) Can a girl have too many Copic markers? They are a current obsession of mine–and there are over 300 colors!
I wish I had more time for art journaling. I have done some and love it but have a hard time finding more time to do that on top of scrapping and writing for GIS.
I get a lot of inspiration on-line from blogs, and our GIS site. I love playing with product too. Just playing and pushing things into new functions with challenges, motivates me to do some of my best work.
My favorite class here at GIS, hands down, was Page Parts. This was such a turning point for me with my scrapbooking. It allowed me to find ways to put my art back into my pages and really pushed me to start thinking before I just slapped product on the page.
These are two of my favorite layouts from around the time I took Debbie's Page Parts class. I love that they have a distinctly "me" look to them with my art work. They are pages that came together easily at least in terms of ideas, they excited me while I was working on them and make me smile when I come back to them today.
Thanks Michelle for giving us an extra special glimpse into your life! Thanks also for all you do here at Get It Scrapped! in addition to teaching — including playing a major role in the hosting our recent birthday bash and being deeply involved with the community in our forums.
Keep a look out for Memory Maker's 2011 Edition of "Big Book of Scrapbooking Ideas" where Michelle will have five layouts published…and look for another of her layouts in Scrapbooking.com's e-zine! WAY TO GO!!! Also keep your eye on the homepage for more of Michelle's wonderful articles on Copic Markers! We look forward to all of the scrappy wisdom to come from you in the future!
Congrats on the published work Michelle! WTG! Great to read more about you and see more of your wonderful work!
I love Michelle. You are amazing and what a great spotlight.
Michelle, what fun reading more about you. I can't wait to meet you in September. I too love what you share with us here on GIS and I would have never thought I could doodle if it wasn't for you.
Great to hear more about you Michelle. Congratulations on being our member spotlight.
Love those LOs! And always fun to get a bit more of a glimpse into your life!
You are fabulous in every aspect of the word – mother, wife, artist, scrapper, and friend. I love your pages – I love the art feel to scrapbook pages. YOU are the one pulling my artwork back into my pages. Thank you!
Michelle – What a great article. I love getting to know people through these spotlights.

I am wondering why totalStaked is added to, but never subtracted from, when listing are deleted. What is the intent of this? Is it just to measure how much has been staked, cumulatively, without accounting for stake decreasing?
Also, I am curious if numApplications works the same way (only counting increases).
numApplications works the same way, but for a different reason. Even if your point is rejected as invalid it is still a valid candidate that has applied, so numApplications should only increase in count.
I am also wondering about the doubly linked list and votes. From what I understand, the DLL sorts all the polls that a user has participated in.
But I don't understand what the function rescueTokens() is doing. Overall I think this is because I am confused by how the voting works.
Can my voting balance ever go down when I vote for a losing proposal? Or do I only lose stake, which I have staked in the registry?
I have 100,000 tokens for voting, but it isn't clear to me if that is 100,000 spread across all polls I am voting in, or if I can allocate 100,000 votes to any poll. I don't see incrementing and decrementing of the vote balance when entering a poll, or when rescuing a token, so that is what I am confused. (I would guess that tokens do get locked up, but I just don't understand how the store and the DLL ensure that this is the case).
To start there is a difference between tokens approved for the Voting Registry and Voting credits.
You can approve as many tokens as you would like to the Registry, for example 1,000,000 even if you have much less tokens than that. This is just telling the registry you approve up to that amount of tokens to be deposited to the Voting contract.
Voting Credit are your FOAM tokens currently located in the voting smart contract.
When you submit a vote, your tokens are transferred to the voting contract and become Voting Credit.
Voting Credit is not displayed in your balance of FOAM tokens in MetaMask. You must withdraw unlocked Voting Credit to have access to it there.
In the Voting tab of My Assets, you can approve voting tokens in advance to streamline the process.
You can use the same Voting Credit to vote in multiple challenges at the same time.
Voting Credit has 2 states: locked and unlocked. In My Assets under the Voting tab, Total Voting Credit shows your combined balance of unlocked and locked Voting Credit.
Unlocked Voting Credit is Voting Credit available to be withdrawn from the voting smart contract back into your Ethereum wallet connected to MetaMask. Go to the Voting tab of My Assets to withdraw unlocked Voting Credit.
Locked Voting Credit is Voting Credit currently being used in a challenge. You can always use locked Voting Credit in as many challenges as you like. But you won't be able to return locked Voting Credit to your MetaMask wallet until all active challenges have completed and it has been unlocked.
Reveal your vote during the vote reveal period to unlock it automatically after the challenge completes.
Visit the Voting tab of My Assets. At the bottom, you can see your votes never revealed during the vote reveal period. Click the button at the bottom to unlock all eligible Voting Credit.
NOTE: You can only submit a vote as long as the amount is within your combined balance of Total Voting Credit and Approved Registry Tokens.
All of this utilizes the Partial Lock Commit Reveal Voting (PLCR) process.
It is definitely not straightforward, and certainly confusing re: using the same tokens across multiple polls. Let me know if this answers your questions.
These two references are perfect! They describe exactly what I was trying to understand. Thank you!

So did your friends who didn't know them at all enjoy it? It's challenging to enjoy a show when you're only semi-familiar with the band/performer. That was the case for me with Arcade Fire — I recognized maybe 2 of their songs (was more familiar with Broken Social Scene). I still mostly enjoyed it, because they were very entertaining, but it would have been a lot better if I'd at least bothered to listen to their most recent CD.
They said they did? And seemed sincere?
… But of course, it's always better when you know some of the songs. I didn't know them that well the first time I saw Lowest of the Low in concert, but I'd at least listened to the whole album (they only had one then) 2 or 3 times beforehand. Helped that I liked it right off.
I like the "Everything Now" album. You should have listened to it ahead! Harder when "listening to music" isn't part of your normal daily activities, though.

I was reminded of this today on another thread. Try listening to pink noise thru both DACs. You can hear rather unambiguously FR differences with pink noise. Don't listen too loud. Now FR differences aren't the only thing that would effect the sound of pink noise, but it is a good signal.
@JustIntonation you could also try level matching the two DACs (if you have the ability to do this) and then have someone else switch between the two while you keep your headphones on and face the other way to see if you still feel you can reliably pick any difference blind.
Not to suggest there is no difference. But the effects of background knowledge can be profound and this might be a way to at least rule this possibility out.
But of course don't do this unless you can be satisfied that the levels are matched correctly.
Good point by andreasmaaan. Level matching is important even in sighted listening comparisons. If you do it by ear you'll maybe get within a .5db. Unfortunately if the difference is more than .1 db your ear hears a quality difference, and not a volume difference. Even a cheap multimeter measuring the output with say a 400 hz (or 1 khz) test signal should do the trick. You need the output voltages to be closer than a 2% difference (preferably 1%).
I already sent the M8A v3 back. Can't do anymore listening.
I didn't think about pink noise. I have been using pink noise to detect effects of EQ on headphones, works very well! Can easily set the best way to EQ out resonant driver peaks that way. Very audible.
Level was possibly matched well enough. I used both DACs at full output which is stated as 2Vrms for both. (The measurements in this thread for the M8 show 1.95Vrms for the left channel and Anedio states 2.0 Vrms for unbalanced outs with max 0.1dB volume difference between channels which seems believable as their other specs measure as stated so that would be a 0.2dB difference if my M8A v3 were to have the same output as the M8 in this thread).
I remain convinced that the differences I heard are real. And they are infact the differences I thought I heard in not direct A/B comparison, only smaller than I thought in direct A/B on my nearfields.
As for IMD, the D2 shows about -116dB IMD with a hard test of 0dBFS equal volume 19+20KHz tones. This seems to be better than any DAC measured on this site, even the OPPO 205.
The M8A v3 possibly does slightly worse than the D50 in this regard if we add up a similar bump to D50 to the M8 measurements as the M8A v3 uses the ES9038Q2M which all seem to show a +15dB or so extra bump in IMD in mid levels.
Its possible that the M8A v3 gives for instance 30dB more IMD at mid levels than the D2 (which is about where I heard things like hi-hats in my listening test, which were done at roughly -24dB set in Foobar giving possibly about -24dB to -36dB for most of the musical signal). So quite possible there's -60dB IMD for M8A v3 vs -90dB IMD for D2 in my listening, possibly even more for high frequency signals. -60dB translates to about 0.1%, perhaps audible for IMD? Audible as a quality difference, subtle forwardness of the highs in listening? Maybe.
Maybe it's a combination of minor frequency response differences, IMD, jitter, etc. The D2 measures significantly better in many of these aspects.
But then still.. I don't consider the following proven to myself but I can't shake the idea either that DAC chips have something of a subtle inherent sound where the ESS mobile chips I heard had something similar and the ESS full chips had something similar among them as well different from the mobile chips.. Perhaps I'm wrong about this but perhaps not, this would perhaps point in the direction of frequency response though as the full chips seem to display a more even frequency response than the mobile versions. However, I don't even hear differences when selecting different filters.. hmm.
My IMD measurements use SMPTE tones which is sharply different than the ones you used above. So the results can't be compared.
edit: Nevermind. Looked up some results of both CCIF and SMPTE IMD measurements and sometimes one is higher sometimes the other. I see they indeed can't be compared the way tried to do.
The issue is the tone being used as a reference, 7 khz, starts 12 db lower in level. The predominate tone is at 60 hz. So even if they were directly comparable (which they aren't), you'd get several to 12 db worse results in the SMPTE version vs the one you used. I personally value the one you used as more meaningful, but the two variants can't be directly compared.
Well.. in another twist. My listening test between DACs was very compromised I just found out.
Kind of ashamed about it, but only fair to post it here.
I still had Sonarworks Reference 4 running as an ASIO plugin in Foobar2000. Still had it in the chain, bypassed of course, because I had just been testing some EQ on my headphones (don't like the Reference curve but it was one of the things I was comparing with). And I had an upsampler to 176.4 KHz running as I reported. I was just listening to some music and I don't remember why but just changed the order of the resamper to come after Reference 4 instead of before it as before. And it changed the sound!! Immediately removed Reference 4 completely from Foobar2000. And boy, what a great sound! I had just moved my nearfields 2 days ago to a temp position on small stands on my desk (long story) and when testing DACs I already though hmm this doesn't sound that great thinking it was due to the position of my nearfields. Was I stupid, it was Reference 4 in bypass mode messing up my sound (no I'm not talking about the lower level from Reference 4 in bypass mode, but sound quality being totally degraded).
I don't know yet if this is something Foobar2000 specific in combination with Reference 4 as an ASIO plugin, or 176.4 KHz specific for Reference 4 in general.
Anyhow, too bad I can't test against the M8A v3 anymore. Perhaps I was not all wrong with my earlier impressions that the difference is quite large between it and the D2, an opinion I formed on my main speakers but in less carefull A/B, but without Reference in the chain.
In any case, I did hear a subtle difference even with Reference bypassed but in the chain, but both DACs were at that point outputting pretty much garbage..
Again, ashamed I didn't notice just how bad it was right away and thought it was something else..
But very happy I now have absolutely fantastic sound on my nearfields as well!
I may test Reference bypassed in a DAW later on with different sample rates to see if the huge bug is there as well, though I may not as there is currently no software around I hate more..
edit: It also messed up my recent headphone EQ testing btw.. Up to the point where I thought I was mistaken about my DT1990 and already filled in a return request and ordered a HD800. I can now blame this to Reference being in the chain. Perhaps a good thing to come from this is I now get to do a good comparison between a HD800 and DT1990, in good quality this time.
edit 2: Have been testing the HD800 past 2 days and the Beyerdynamic DT1990 is simply better in almost every way. That is post EQ for both, pre EQ the HD800 is more listenable. And Sonarworks has in my opinion very bad EQ curves for both. Better go with the EQ curves and measurements by rtings.com (I use them without the bass bump).
Nice to hear you have better sound now And good on you for letting us know what other factors were affecting your comparison.
May I ask the lowest harmonic distortion values you can get from qa401 using rew with 1M fft length? And a screenshot?
I have focusrite forte at -20db from headphone output it has very very low distortion. Individual harmonics are below 0.00003%.
And i recently got motu 828es which has ak5574 and es9016. And the result is similar.

The Spanish Arch from Long Walk
TOM kenny Galway Advertiser, Thu, Apr 18, 2019
Long Walk was originally built as a wall by the Eyre family in order to construct a mud berth. Among those who lived there around the time this photograph was taken were Tom Gannon, Sarah O'Donnellon, Mrs Hosty, and Pateen Green. There was an entry through a large archway into a courtyard known as Green's Alley and the five houses there were occupied by the Andersons, McDonaghs, Canavans, Gorhams, and Finnertys. A Mrs McDonagh lived next door in a building known as The Hall and further on lived Mrs Lee, John Folan, Bideen Joyce, Ella McDonagh, Mrs Folan, and Mike Walsh.
The buildings we see on this side of the Spanish Arch appeared on the 1651 map of Galway. They were originally two-storey houses as you can see from the one nearest the Arch. In Griffith's Valuation, published in the 1850s, they are listed as three boarding houses. In more recent times, a number of businesses have occupied various parts of the buildings. Talbot's butchers had a sausage manufactory here for a time, Farrell's Garage were here from 1962 to 1985, A Mr Mullins had a workshop where he did some part-time welding, Tom O'Reilly of Galway Signs was here for a while, as was a motorcycle shop.
Then Alec and Leonie Finn bought it and converted it into a restaurant which was run for a time by Seamus and Kevin Sheridan. It was known as The Blue Raincoat. In 1991, Harriet Leander took it over and called it Nimmo's. Today it is still a fine restaurant known as Ard Bia and is run by Aoibheann McNamara and Amelia Colleran.
Last week, as part of the Galway Poetry Trail, the Galway City Council sponsored a limestone plaque which was placed on the gable of the building facing us. It is attractively carved by Fahy Monumental Works in Woodquay and on it is an extract from a novel called Priest written by Galway author Ken Bruen which is a beautiful evocation of Long Walk and the atmosphere there. The area is beloved of artists and photographers. It has so many elements, old stone walls and arches, the river, the sea, boats, swans, the old and the new, and it is all captured beautifully in Ken's words. It is worth walking down there just to read them.
On the left of our picture you can see the Fishery Tower, which was built in 1853 by the Ashworth family as a way of protecting the Galway Fishery which they had bought the previous year. The bridge was the original Wolfe Tone Bridge which was quite a dangerous affair with many loose planks.
This photograph was taken in 1903 by Lillian Bland, one of Ireland's aviation pioneers.

When I first came to The Children's Inn in June of 2016, I had no idea what it would mean to me. The next several months, though, certainly ended up being some of the most transformational months of my life. I first came to The Inn as a 19-year-old who had somehow managed to finish his first year of college, even while dealing with a harsh genetic disease known as sickle cell anemia. After staying at The Inn for nearly five months, I left as a man, entering his second year of college, having been healed from the disease that once shaped his life.
Reblogged from the NIH Director's Blog.
My blog usually celebrates biomedical advances made possible by NIH-supported research. But every August, I like to try something different and highlight an aspect of the scientific world that might not make headlines. This year, I'd like to take a moment to pay tribute to just a few of the many NIH family members around the country who, without pay or fanfare, freely give of themselves to make a difference in their communities. I'd like to start by recognizing my wife Diane Baker, a genetic counselor who has always found time during her busy career to volunteer.

When Taezia was 4 years old, an MRI showed a myriad of tumors crowding her organs and wrapping themselves around her spine. Without emergency surgery, Taezia would lose her ability to walk and become paralyzed from the neck down. Doctors knew they couldn't remove the entire tumor, but their goal was to "debulk" it enough to preserve Taezia's ability to walk and move around.

There are new reports of an outbreak of Ebola virus disease in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This news comes just two years after international control efforts eventually contained an Ebola outbreak in West Africa, though before control was achieved, more than 11,000 people died—the largest known Ebola outbreak in human history. Many questions remain about why some people die from Ebola and others survive. Now, some answers are beginning to emerge thanks to a new detailed analysis of the immune responses of a unique Ebola survivor, a 34-year-old American health-care worker who was critically ill and cared for at the NIH Special Clinical Studies Unit in 2015.

Studying the neural control of behavior is a challenge. Researchers must consider an animal's environment, past experiences, and motivations. Work in relatively simple organisms, for example the invertebrate C. elegans, has teased apart the neural circuitry of highly stereotyped behaviors, like foraging. But in mammals, very little is known, "and that's surprising given just how important behaviors like this are," said Dr. Eric Horstick, who studies the molecular mechanisms underlying animal behavior.

My 8-year-old nephew Luke has a sixth-grade reading level, while still in the third grade. Yet, he often struggles to finish his chores. He carries a timer in his backpack to keep himself on task. His school provides Luke with special assistance, including extra time for tests and repeated, detailed instruction. The challenges arise because Luke, like his mother Rebecca, has attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Isaac was born to fight. Arriving more than five weeks early by emergency C-section, it wasn't just his way of coming into the world that made him different from his three brothers. While he initially looked healthy, his parents soon realized Isaac's health was something he and the entire family would need to be fighting for every single day.


The competition – aimed at emerging practices and recent graduates – seeks ideas for a series of small-scale architectural interventions along the struggling northwest London high street (pictured).
Backed by Brent Council, Greater London Authority (GLA) and High Street Works – the project aims to draw new visitors to the shopping parade which has lost trade in recent years following the regeneration of the area surrounding Wembley Stadium.
Innovative proposals for new branding, signage and lighting are sought for six key sites along the thoroughfare.
According to the brief: 'Wembley Park Drive is a fascinating location which has historically provided food and beverages to visitors to Wembley for events at the stadium, arena and Foundation Studios.
The document continued: 'The wider area is now undergoing a significant transformation with new residential developments.
Up to five shortlisted teams will each be invited to draw up an A2 board responding to the brief.
The winner – set to be announced in February – will receive £3,000 and see their scheme delivered by High Street Works and Jan Kattein Architects later this year. The remaining finalists will also receive a £250 honorarium.
Judges include Architecture Foundation director Ellis Woodman, Alison Mayer from the GLA's regeneration team and Gabriel Warshafsky of Jan Kattein Architects.
The deadline for expressions of interest is 12noon on 25 January.
Expressions of interest should be returned to anna@meanwhilespace.com with the subject heading 'Wembley Park Drive EOI' followed by your practice name.

Q: Mass Update filters on Reports We have about four Record Types in an Object, where we need to replace two Record Types with a new one.
There are more than a hundred reports which refers to these record types in filter conditions.
Is there a mass update feature where I can replace those old record types with the newer one?
Please advise.

A: If you are replacing the record type then you can just change the label and it will not impact your existing reports.

In a case of a record type, the label can be changed through the GUI
  Interface. This will not impact the reports as they are automatically
  updated once you run them.
The Record type has a Label and another internal use field called
  Record Type Name. Changing the label only changes how the field is
  labeled as in reports etc.The internal name is used by Salesforce to
  recognize and identify the specific record type.
If you change the label, and not change the name, reports will not be
  affected.

A: For anyone else who finds this, take a look at this if you haven't already

President confirms 30-month jail term for Fonseka
Sri Lanka's president has confirmed the 30-month jail term imposed on former army chief Sarath Fonseka following his conviction by a military court, an official said Thursday.
President Mahinda Rajapakse approved the prison sentence for a period of two-and-a-half years after returning Wednesday from New York, where he addressed the U.N. general assembly, a senior government official said.
"The court martial has recommended up to three years in jail, but the president has decided he will be in prison for 30 months," the official, who didn't want to be named, said.

Hi valliant soldier, tender your apology,, sure MR will acquit you..
Heyy dont be foolish
Our hearo SF dnt worry they can lock up u but in our mind u are the hearo . the day you relesed I am sure these people will not alive they they will die with pissing each other
god bless you SF Long live SF
Real Citizen says:
Mahinda & Goota ! You both can sleep well for 30 months. But, remember real peoples heart with GENERAL FONSEKA !
Ranil ,Mangala,Jvp ayai oyadeta wagakiyanna ohnna.Eaja Fonsekawa Amaruwe Demme. Den Samawaganna ekka thama Thiyenne.
Let's get our facts right. SF is by no means a child. He knew exactly what he wanted. He was greedy for power. He wanted to be the ruler of the country. The vanity of the man is abominable! He boasted the LTTE was vanquished solely through his prowess. The roles of the navy and the air force, he belittled. The truth is, while he played with his manhood and his toy girls, young subservient female soldiers from villages in the South, who satiated his sexual appetite and lust, our brave heroes fought in the front lines suffering untold hardships. Some made the supreme sacrifice. Our undying gratitude go to them all and their families. May the Good Lord bless them and grant them eternal happiness, for they fought in defence of our motherland, a noble cause!
Let us not forget our heroic President and his brother, the Defence Secretary, who planned to the last detail the course of the war and won it. They had actually planned it even before he was elected the President. They had faith in themselves and in our security forces. They did not swallow the false propaganda peddled out by the deceitful Tamil diaspora and the imperial West. They gave political leadership also. With the help of our true friends China, Russia, Pakistan, Iran, Lybia and a few others we were able to totally decimate and irradicate our terrorist menace. SF is not the hero.The true heroes are our Honourabe President, the Commander-in-Chief, The Defence Secretary and all those heroic security forces personnel, big and small who gave their very best for their country.
SF, on the otherhand, is an evil traitor, who betrayed the very army he served in, and his President and his motherland, to the very enemies of the motherland, the paradesi kotiyas and the imperial West. SF, JVP and the kotiyas concocted this cock and bull story of a 'white flag' waving LTTE who were shot down on the orders of the Secretary of Defence. Have they forgotten these very kotiyas shot and bombed their own Tamil people as they fled in their thousands to the safety of the welcoming arms of the army side. They may be Tamil but they are all Sri Lankan citizens and our countrymen. The brutal terrorists carried cyanide capsules in a string around their necks. They swore allegiance to VP, the evil terrorist dictator, not to surrender and if captured to rather bite the cyanide capsule to commit suicide. So the 'white flag' story is hogwash, to take away the glory of our heroic security forces for having created history by the largest hostage rescue operation in the world, and the only nation to have totally vanquished the world's most brutal terrorist organisation that introduced the suicude bomb jacket and the car bomb as effective weapons of mass destruction and terrorism.
Where was SF while all these were happening? He was enjoying with his family and friends a luxury holiday in China at the expense of our tax payers. He was in China, not merely to enjoy a break, but actually to order shiploads of arms with the ulterior motive of capturing power in the country by a coup d'etat and foist on our people a military regime, on the lines of Burmese military junta. His plan was to assassinate the President and all his relatives, the VIP politicos, celebrities, and the officers in the security forces he had fallen out with and wanted to settle scores. Such was his evil plan! One evil Tamil dictator replaced by a worse evil Sinhala dictator. The JVP were only playing second fiddle to him, in order to eat the crumbs from the master's table. They planted the seed of betrayal in his mind and fed his lust for power, in order to get some sort of political say in an SF government themselves. It has all backfired, thank God.
So, please do not be so gullible! His sentence of 30 months in prison by the Military Tribunal is nothing. The criminal court should find him guilty of the heinous crimes of treason and plotting a coup d'etat to kill the top leaders of our nation. What is the sentence for this? I say, he should swing, and along with him should swing other traitors. They have no place in Mother Lanka. I say to venerable religious leaders of all faiths please do not plead for his release, but that he should accept his just desserts, his fate. Let him repent at deaths door for God's mercy, since he cannot deceive GOD. Let him at least save his soul by begging mercy from the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
Demala Chelvan says:
Dear Mr Dias,
As said earlier, I am a Tamil. For me, all Sinhala Leaders (the Rajapaksas, Bandaranaikes, Jayawardane, Senanayakes, Premadasa, Wijeweera, Wickremasinghe) and for that matter, all Tamil Leaders (Chelvanayagam, Ponnambalam, Amirthalingam, Pirabakaran, Sambanthan) are idiotic personalities whose IQ, I believe, if tested, will measure far below that of an average human being.
Your comment above includes a number of unsubstantiated allegations against a public officer who has demonstrated a capacity to pursue a long and complex task amidst many obstacles. There have been a number of other public officers in Sri Lanka who had similar tenacious qualities.
The current crop of leaders, like all others, suffer from an inferiority complex and fear the enthusiasm and tenacity of a new entrant to the political arena.
The charges against Fonseca are trivial. I am sure you are aware of the extreme manipulations of public sector procurement in Sri Lanka for the benefit of politicians and henchmen.
Despite Gen Fonseka's professional attitude towards the Tamils, I sincerely believe that he has the capacity to bring a fresh breath of air to the political arena.
Dear Chelvan
Even Im very much proud being Sri lankan with many ppl who speaks different languages. of course your ppl were sufferd during the last 30 years. even u are tamil u realized the truth. of course we are waiting to have fresh air to breath in this lanka if not for my kids long live SF long live

Mr president thank you for emancipating our mother land and try to be a righteous democrat.
today all of we are disdain these nefrious, abominate ruthless malicious uncouth barbaric act.
It is shame and insult for The Lord Buddhas teaching and retribution is not so long
We are very worryed about these ungrateful singhales peoples.
We need democracy in our country not mobocracy.

There are those who shed tears for a criminal. All criminals have families who also shed tears for them. This does not mean the President should go soft in his head and release all criminals. What about the tears of the families of the victims of criminals? Justice must be seen to be done. Even Lord Buddha had his Devdatta, his own cousin brother, who became a jealous renegade monk, who tried to kill Lord Buddha. As a holy man Lord Buddha cannot kill him. Devadatta met his own fate eventually. SF has a long history of evil deeds through out his long career in army. This eventually caught-up with him. He is to blame for his own evil deeds and evil end, just as Devdatta. Nobody should blame HE the President for carrying out the sentence of the military court. Let all religious leaders not intervene. Do they intervene in the case of other criminals who are in prison? What is the use of the judiciary in that case?
I have said it once and I will say it again, to all those gullible ignorant people who shed tears for SF. This man is a dangerous criminal. He is no war hero. The real war heroes are those who fought the War of Liberation in the front lines suffering endless hardships, and who even paid the supreme sacrifice for the motherland. The whole nation is eternally grateful for them. HE the President and his brother, the Defence Secretary, are heroes for their unwavering, skillful political and military leadership in totally vanquishing the LTTE, who the pardesi kotiyas and the imperial West tried to make-out to be invincible. The big lie was laid bare, given the coup de grace.
SF had a long career in the army. He had also a long history of crimes. He raped a young maid servant who worked for a senior army officer. He got away scot-free. The maid committed suicide. He satiated his sexual lust by sleeping with young female soldiers, threesome at a time. He thus exploited his position as army commander. He tortured and imprisoned officers and soldiers who dared to question his lustful behaviour, deceit and criminal past. No one heared their cries and the cries of their families for justice. No religious leader stood up for these innocent victims. He was a barbarian. Towards the end, JVP found in him a bird of the same feather. They used him to try to capture power for themselves, power they craved for and never won, despite two bloody uprisings. When they realized SF had no dog's chance of winning the presidency, they plotted with him plan B, a coup d'etat to capture power using ex-soldiers, officers and army deserters, bribed by large sums of money. The money came from the imperial West as millions of crisp dollar bank notes. It served the vested interest of the imperial West and the paradesi kotiyas who were smarting from the total destruction of their 'invincible' LTTE. The plot was to assassinate the President and his family and other leading politicians in the government and celebrities who campaigned for the president. Not only did SF lose the presidential election but his coup plot also failed miserably. This is the man who claimed sole credit for winning the war, for his strategy!
Two military tribunals have found him guilty on several serious charges of contravention of military laws. He has been sentenced justly to only 30 months in prison. This is a very light sentence. He has yet to face more serious criminal charges before criminal courts. When found guilty, there can only be one sentence. That is, captial punishment for treason and for coup plot to kill the President, his family et alia. He deserves capital punsihment for each of these counts. He cannot be set free, despite the pleadings of misguided religious leaders and gullible minority of people who thinks he is a war hero when he is not.
I earnestly hope HE the President does not become soft in the head by the pleas of a few gullible misguided fools to set this criminal free, to flee to the imperial West to mobilise the support of the paradesi kotiyas and the imperial West, to march against his own army one day for another coup attempt. This man has to swing along with other traitors. The blood of our heroes cries for it from their graves. Do not let their blood be shed in vain if the paradesi kotiyas and the imperial West use SF, the UNP and JVP to try to subvert and sabotage our country's forward march of economic progress to be the shining Star of Asia.
I think without the help and support from rajapaksa family.we could not brought peace to srilanka,SF he did not fight alone to stop the war,why nobody talk about the Airforce and the Nevy,they also did the great job.I fill shame on SF,because we have seen true caractor,like other most of srilanken.because api kana bathe rena aya.god bless MR.and srilanka.

Q: Why does the thermal noise of this large resistor not contribute to the input noise for this JFET-input inverting amplifier? I'm interested in building a low-frequency, low-noise, AC-coupled preamplifier (mostly for measuring the noise of very quiet linear regulators). Several existing designs that I've seen use a matched JFET pair with blocking cap and large resistor to ground at the input. I'll use this paper as an example. I've copied the full schematic below.

The authors state that the thermal noise contributed by RA1 can effectively be ignored above the low-frequency cutoff of \$100\,\text{mHz}\$, assuming a sufficiently low-impedance source. Specifically they say:

The values of the AC coupling network components (CA1, RA1) are such that the pass band extends down to a few mHz and that the contribution of the thermal noise of RA1, assuming much smaller source impedances, is negligible with respect to SVEQ for frequencies larger than \$100\,\text{mHz}\$.

SVEQ is the power spectral density of the equivalent input voltage noise accounting for JFET noise, noise from the load resistances (\$R_D\$) and the equivalent input voltage noise of IA1.
I don't understand this. Why does the source impedance of the noise source matter? Does this mean that if the input were left open, RA1 would contribute significantly to the equivalent input noise?
This amplifier is constructed as an inverting amplifier, with gain \$-R_2/R_1\$. Why does the resistor thermal noise voltage (equal to about \$7.4\,\mu V/\sqrt{Hz}\$ at \$300\,\text{K}\$) not get amplified according to \$-R_2/R_1\$?

A: Keep in mind the application: you're evaluating voltage regulators. They have low source impedance Rs. The input filter, filled in with the source that was missing in the schematic in the question, looks as follows:

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
At frequencies of interest, Ca1 is a short, and Rs||Ra1 ≈ Rs. The downstream circuitry "sees" the source impedance Rs, while Ra1 is made irrelevant.

A: The Johnson (thermal) noise of a resistor is
$$ E_t = \sqrt{4kTR \Delta f} $$
Where:
k = Boltzmann' constant = 1.38e-23
T = temperature in °K
R = resistance
\$ \Delta f \$ = bandwidth in Hz
At room temperature (33°C), \$ E_t \approx 0.13 \sqrt{R} \quad \text{in } \; nV/\sqrt{Hz} \$
The real resistance at the input will be the parallel combination of RA1 and the impedance of the driving source. If the source impedance is low, then the total resistance at the input will be low, thus, the thermal noise will be low.
If the source is a capacitor, such as a piezoelectric hydrophone, best noise performance is if RA1 is a high resistance, often above 1MΩ as seen in the simulation below. This is why high impedance preamps are desirable for piezoelectric sensors.

A: I just want to add that there is a very easy way you can prove to yourself, formally, that the noise of that resistor isn't important.
We can do this by the use of the Blakesley source shift theorem (nothing new, it's >100 years old).
The theorem can be easily understood with 2 pictures:

Pictures taken from Structured Electronic Design by CJM Verhoeven et al. (2004)
For your situation, it's easier if we model the noise of the resistor to ground with a current source in parallel. Let's just call it In for now.
In the following schematics I'm already listing all the steps to derive the input noise with respect to Ra1.

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
For the last step, there's an extra noise current source in parallel with the voltage source, so it drops out.
To find the input-referred noise due to this resistor, assuming its current noise is \$ I_n = \frac{4kT}{R_{A1}}\$, then the input referred expression is simply:
$$
V_{n,R_{A1}}^2 = \frac{4kT}{R_{A1}}R_s^2 + \frac{4kT}{R_{A1}}\left(\frac{1}{\omega C_{A1}}\right)^2
$$
From this expression, we can easily see that the bigger \$R_{A1}\$, the more we can disregard its noise. Therefore, it's not that it doesn't matter because it belongs to the biasing or high-pass filtering; it doesn't matter because we make it not matter by making it big.
Also, this explains the importance of your source impedance being low compared to RA1, otherwise your input referred noise also increases.

Calling For a New Mindset for Golf in Asia!
Hua Hin Today
The 13th Asia Pacific Golf Summit 2019 will be held at Gurugram in India; home of the DLF Golf & Country Club. Besides the Summit in October, the venue will also play host to the grand 20th Anniversary of the prestigious ASIAN GOLF AWARDS
Some thought provoking editorial comment about the future of Asian golf has been made prior to the event by the APGS Group. Here's what the organisers had to say: The pride of super luxury communities of Gurugram, the impeccable DLF Golf, and Country Club was honored with the coveted 'Asia Pacific Order of Zenith' by Asia Pacific Golf Group at the Asian Golf Awards 2018.
"The time has come for the golf industry in Asia, which incidentally is reported to have more than 14% of the world's golf courses to take the industry seriously. It ranks third after North America and Europe, and with this sort of critical mass in place, it's time to start taking matters in its own hands. The industry is large and it's growing in Asia and we need conscientious decision makers from the region to be responsible for charting and growing the game instead of adopting oftentimes failed cookie-cutter templates from other regions of the world. While the developed world struggles to arrest a decline in the golf industry, there is tremendous potential for the growth of the game in Asia.
By just looking at population and economic megatrends, there is no denying the fact that Asia has all the right ingredients to throw into the pot to stew up a healthy and promising elixir for golf's growth. First off, take the combined population of three geographic regions in Asia – China, India and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Collectively, these regions account for more than 3.3 billion humans. In any language, this is a massive number. Next, break down this number by age groups with the focus falling on those under 25 years old and we are looking at a number in excess of 1 billion.
The latest figures available on the size of the combined economies of the regions under review hits the revenue barometer gauge at over US$20 trillion dollars. Note that Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are not included in this review. One just can't ignore these staggering statistics and when projected against key demographics of the population in China, India and ASEAN, close to 1 billion are in the tender 25 years and below age group. When viewed in the context of higher education, higher wages and more moving up into the middle class, the region really starts showing off its muscle.
The middle class in China and India is expected to exceed 1 billion people by 2030. There is no denying the fact that the numbers speak for themselves and one cannot ignore the fact that even a tiny percentage from this huge prospect base can give golf a massive boost. The math looks good and if the golf industry comes together to start working on this potential market, the future of golf at least in Asia is very promising. To understand the potential for the future, the Asia Pacific Golf Group conducted a random on-line survey amongst Asians under the age of 30 years to determine their perception of golf.
We received over 1,300 valid responses and these were some of the key findings: Do you play golf? Only 9% of the respondents gave an affirmative answer. What do you not like about golf? 91% reported that it was too expensive while a further 93% thought that golf was only for the rich. Would you consider taking up the game if it was inexpensive? The response was overwhelmingly over 95%.
Young golfers say golf is for the rich Note that the objective of this random survey was to get a read from the young in the region as to how they perceived golf and when analysed, it was discovered there was a high "aspiration factor" amongst this target group to give golf a try. With this knowledge, the industry must put its money where its mouth is. For decades, the golf industry has talked about making the game more affordable and more accessible and more playable. Unfortunately, this has just remained as talk with no real action being undertaken.
Smart Apps to promote unused tee times The golf industry needs to engage with technology and make the game more accessible using Smart Apps like tee-time reservation services to promote and sell hours that go unused daily throughout the region. Special discounted tariffs should be looked at to convert the unsold times and this is where affordability comes into play. Allow flexibility where new and younger golfers can play a reduced number of holes instead of having to play a full nine or eighteen holes. Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee and Kiradech Aphibarnrat at a new GolfSixes format with fireworks, music and shot clocks Another way to attract the young is for golf course owners and operators to change their business models to give access to the general public to play the game.
China, India and the ASEAN countries need to seriously look at converting from membership clubs to a more pluralised operating system with the objective of promoting and growing golf. This infusion of new blood is urgently needed and, in an environment where very few public courses exist, ease of accessibility must be boldly pursued. In the case of India, around 160 courses are owned by the military. These ArmyNavy-Air Force owned courses account for 60 percent of all golf courses in India. The time has come for these courses to throw open their doors to a growing middle class so that golf no longer remains a game for an exclusive few.
There is most certainly an aspiration amongst the young to take up the game and with role models like China's veteran Zhang Lianwei and young superstar Li Haotong and Indian veterans like Jeev Milka Singh and youngsters like Anirban Lahiri and Shubhankar Sharma together with Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee and Kiradech Aphibarnrat, there has never been a better time to promote golf to the region's burgeoning young market. The movers and shakers in Asia must show their initiative and take a bold leap forward to change for the better and grow golf.
Everything is in place and the time for ACTION is NOW." www.asiapacificgolfgroup.com www.golfconference.org

During the 2012 and 2013 editions of the Montreux Jazz Festival, the Metamedia Center presented projects at the chalet of Claude Nobs in Caux near Montreux, Switzerland. About 1'500 guests visited the chalet each year and the Metamedia Center was able to showcase projects in Multimedia technology to a wider audience. In 2014, the Metamedia Center migrated to the main Montreux Jazz Festival site to showcase the latest in innovation and technology from EPFL at the Chalet d'en bas. In 2015, EPFL + ECAL Lab demonstrated their Montreux Jazz Heritage prototypes to guests at the Montreux Palace. An interactive Montreux Jazz Jukebox was set-up next the Auditorium Stravinsky hall. In 2016, the Montreux Jazz Digital Project was presented to the general public and VIP guests with iPads in the Merchandising stand, at the Picotin and backstage. A Remix the Archive in 3D Audio experience was set up at the Casino during the Memorabilia auction event. A SounD Dot was also presented to the public there.
In 2016, the Montreux Jazz Digital Project was presented to the public under a wooden arch in the Merchandising stand on the main floor of the Festival. Inside the arch there were three iPads and an indexing station for visitors to navigate the archive and find out more about the song indexing process. There were unseen photos from the Georges Braunschweig photo collection also on display. At the back of the arch there was a large poster which provided a global overview of the project to the public in a very simplified and visual way. The new Montreux Jazz Digital Project logo was especially developed for this poster. In addition, some concerts at the Festival were captured in 360 degree sound and video to create a Virtual Reality experience of specific shows. A Remix the Archive in 3D Audio experience was also set up at the Casino for users to play around with multitrack archive audio content in an interactive and immersive way.
In 2015, the Montreux Jazz Heritage Lab version 2 prototype was set up at the Montreux Palace for private guests to test out and provide feedback. There were three prototypes, a surround audio-visual interactive playback system for concerts, a virtual reconstruction of the Stravinsky hall in a wooden structure and a poster/photo display unit. The final version of Montreux Jazz Hertiage Lab version 2 will be situated next to the Montreux Jazz Café in the Artlab building from November 2016 onwards. In addition, at the Festival site, a Montreux Jazz Jukebox was made available to the public next to the Stravinsky hall for users to navigate through 49 songs using motion capture technology. The music was played back in 5.1 surround using a high quality audio processor form Illusonic and loudspeakers from PSI audio.
For the first time, 75% of the Montreux Jazz Festival archive was made available to the public at the Chalet d'en bas during the 2014 Montreux Jazz Festival edition. From 4pm to 12am every day, small groups of people could sit, watch and listen to the archive with the Archive Discovery Application for the iPad and SounDDots (overhead music showers) created by EPFL start-up Hidacs. In parallel, HD Uncompressed Tapeless Video Capture of concerts with direct transfer to EPFL via fiber optic cable took place. As a result, concerts from the previous night were added to the archive discovery app daily – a feature very much appreciated by festival goers! In addition, the public could experience an immersive audio-visual resurrection (I.AM) of a George Benson concert from the old Montreux Casino which took place in 1972.
Highlights for the 2013 edition included the ipad Archive Discovery Application which enabled a person to browse and access 1'000 concerts from the Montreux Jazz festival archive. In addition, a second improved version of SounDDots was set up at the chalet for guests to experience private music listening zones. At the 2m2c, experiments in HD capture were conducted which were very successful.
During the 2012 edition, demonstrations included the Montreux Jazz Festival archive digitization project, 4k and 3D video display technology as well Genezik, a smart playlist generator and recommendation tool. In particular, innovation projects in acoustics developed by Hervé Lissek's team at LEMA, namely SounDDots and Sound Relief, proved to be very popular with the public.

Wheat—a natural hybrid of wild grasses.
In the following article, Heidi Lewis writes about genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and more specifically what they are (and are not) relative to food. The FruitGuys has always held the policy that we will never include GMOs in our fruit or vegetable mixes. We support the drive to label GMOs, as we believe strongly that consumer protection and transparency in any realm is a good and important thing. You can learn more about that movement at: labelgmos.org. The definition of genetically modified food is an important one to understand, and we've included it at the end of the article for your reference. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.
Grapefruit—thought to be a natural hybrid of pomelo and sweet orange.
To understand the difference between genetically modified food and naturally hybridized food, we need to understand the hybrid process. Natural hybridization is nothing more than a cross between two related species or cultivars. Hybrids have happened naturally throughout history via cross-pollination, but gardeners, farmers, and horticulturists have created the bulk of modern hybrids (such as the many stone fruit combos), often over the course of many years.
Sometimes, the result of a plant pairing (both in the wild or controlled) turns out to be superior to the parent plants. This is known as "hybrid vigor." Some of the hundreds of vigorous results we benefit from are slicer tomatoes, tangelos, peppermint, seedless watermelon, grapefruit, and even wheat—in other words, hundreds of natural hybrid foods we eat every day. Included in this group of plants that have, over many years, made or been bred for adaptation, including roses, irises, and other cut flowers. On the animal side, a great example of hybrid vigor is the mule: intelligent, patient, sure-footed—a better work partner than either its horse or donkey parents.
Peppermint—a natural hybrid of spearmint and water mint.
Genetically engineered or GMO foods are not hybridized foods or hybrid foods. They can contain genetic material from one organism (say a fish) that would never naturally be found in another organism (say a tomato). GMO experiments have actually included combining fish and tomatoes, and bacteria with corn—not improvements we would want to eat.
(ii) Fusion of cells (including protoplast fusion) or hybridization techniques that overcome natural physiological, reproductive, or recombination barriers, where the donor cells/protoplasts do not fall within the same taxonomic family, in a way that does not occur by natural multiplication or natural recombination.
(i) "Organism" means any biological entity capable of replication, reproduction or transferring genetic material.
(ii) "In vitro nucleic acid techniques" include but are not limited to recombinant DNA or RNA techniques that use vector systems and techniques involving the direct introduction into the organisms of hereditary materials prepared outside the organisms such as microinjection, macro-injection, chemoporation, electroporation, microencapsulation, and liposome fusion.
