Serena Williams defeated Karolina Pliskova at US Open
Iris Sanchez
It was the first set she had taken off the American in five meetings.
Williams produced a near ideal set - taking it 6-0 in 18 minutes which contained four aces, points won on every one of her successful first serves, three breaks from three chances and 14 winners.
The world number 26 got off to a slow start against her Czech opponent, serving up a host of double faults and errors, which the eighth seed Pliskova capitalised on to race into a 3-1 lead.
"I saw that she was struggling".
"That's a really big step for me".
Sevastova, who avenged last year's quarter-final loss to Stephens in NY to reach her first Grand Slam semi, converted five of her eight break points and saved seven of the nine against her on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court.
Their last meeting was at Indian Wells past year, when the American won 6-1, 6-4. This is the American tennis legend's 18th US Open tournament.
"Well, I want to just be able to get past the semis here".
"Still long way to go, I think", she said.
Williams already proved at Wimbledon that she is capable of the sort of dominant performances she has shown over the years, making all the way to the final at the All England Club before losing. "It was two years ago for me, but I have great memories from that match".
One match at a time. At one point, Stephens shook her head in astonishment.
While she gave up two straight games to Pliskova, and then narrowly dropped a third later on, Williams quickly finished her off to take the second set 6-3 and advance to the semis. Slowly, point by point, Williams relaxed, started to better predict and return Pliskova's powerful serves and began controlling points and winning games.

"I still know that no matter whether I'm in the semi-finals or the finals, I have a really long way to go to win that".
Keys: 'I felt good today. "I just need to repeat". "I just had to figure out a way to try to at least make one and one at a time".
Williams held service to take a 5-4 lead and close out the set on her second set point, when Pliskova sent a backhand into the net. She's been playing really well for actually a long time.
Next up for the 28-year-old is Serena, who beat Pliskova later in the day to move into the semis. "She can hit unbelievable shots".
A match that looked to be in question for Serena Williams early on turned into yet another dominating performance by the six-time US Open champion on Tuesday night. There were no fist pumps, no Serena screams, no yells to herself to, "C'mon!"
Drop shots: the solution for rest of the tournament?
Serena Williams reflects on her quarterfinal win over Karolina Pliskova and being compared to Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali by film director Spike Lee.
From there, the result was never in doubt as Williams finished off with three aces and an overhead to seal her place in the final four.
While Williams' draw on paper looked incredibly tough, the premature exits of Simona Halep and Stephens have seen her enjoy a more routine passage, with only Kaia Kanepi taking a set off her.
Williams saved 10 of the 12 break points and struck 35 winners to Pliskova's 12 to record her first victory over a player in the world's top 10 since returning from maternity leave earlier this year.
She was facing the last player she lost to at Flushing Meadows.
"I was playing really not a good game", Williams, who was a point from trailing by two break in the opening set, said.

Q: Load only a specific line I have a data file containing over a million lines consisting of 16 integer numbers (it doesn't really matter) and I need to process the lines in Octave. Obviously, it's impossible to load the whole file. How can I load only a specific line?
I have thought of two possibilities:

*

*I have missed something in docs of Simple I/O

*I should convert the file to be a CSV and use some of the csvread features

A: If you want to iterate through the file, line-by-line, you can open the file and then use fscanf to parse out each line.
fid = fopen(filename);

while true
    % Read the next 16 integers
    data = fscanf(fid, '%d', 16);

    % Go until we can't read anymore
    if isempty(data)
        break
    end
end

If you want each line as a string, you can instead use fgetl to get each line
fid = fopen(filename);

% Get the first line
line = fgetl(fid);

while line
    % Do thing

    % Get the next line
    line = fgetl(fid);

For those of you not already following me on Instagram (lotsixtyfive, if you're interested!), here are a few snapshots documenting some of my favourite little happy moments during the last week. I'll give you the synopsis starting from the top left corner... read on.
Excitedly wearing my Rainey Necklace from Spike the Punch = excitement! A stroll past Province House in downtown Charlottetown, a beautiful new bauble from Runfree, Runwild, a stop for lunch at my favourite local eatery (so good!), my first advance readers copy of a new summery read (find it on shelves in June!), some summery polishes and pretty new bracelets from Joe Fresh, a comfy (if a bit dark) outfit of the day, and last but not least, a pretty field snapped on the way home. Who knew dandelions could be so lovely?
Wishing you all a week full of your own happy moments.
I love that field, that shot of Province House, the way your feet look in that outfit shot, and eating at Beanz. In fact, the last time I was there was with you! I think at Christmas time when you were home. Love you!
I love all of Spike the Punch's painted necklaces but whenever I go on her store they aren't available or listed! I get so disappointed!
your spike the punch necklace is so gorgeous - what a great choice!

Agrolavia honey is a Mediterranean honey created by "happy" bees in a scattering of apiaries in the hilly countryside in the Northwest of Murcia. The place is filled with pine forests, aromatic herbs, springs and old vineyards where authentic wines are born.
Three generations have been working with small apiaries, since Antonio Campoy started off with a few cork and esparto beehives at the beginning of 20th century. "Jobón" is the name given to a beehive made of cork, esparto, wicker or even empty wood trunks.
Nowadays we are working with small apiaries where bee colonies remain all year long on the same spot since this reduces stressfull changes of habitat and resources. This is why we do not practice seasonal migration of livestock.
Characteristics: Light amber colour. Embracing flavours on the palate with floral & herbal notes leaving lactic nuances on the after taste. Solid and gritty.
Matched with soft cheeses, white meats, spicy food, salad dressing, bakery, tea, Sherry and sweet wines.
Organoleptic complexity due to a rich variety of aromatic healing plants (Lamiaceae family).
Characteristics: Dark amber colour with golden rim. Balmy notes of white flowers & spices, fresh and tannic ending.
Matched with strong cheeses, game meat, salad dressing, toasts, Sherry (pale cream) and sweet wines.

Q: create binary payload in node-red New to node-red and javascript. I need to use the TCP input to connect to a relay controller for status. I'm using a function node to generate a two-byte request that will flow to the TCP input node and on to the controller but don't know how to format this in java.  I can set
msg.payload = "hello";

to send a string, but I need to send 2 bytes: 0xEF 0xAA. In C# I would just create the string
msg.payload = "\xEF\xAA";

or something.  How to do this in java/node-red?

A: Binary payloads are NodeJS buffer objects so can be created like this:
msg.payload = new Buffer([0xEF,0xAA]);

A: As of today (nodered 0.17.5), this can be achieved doing the following, see the documentation:
msg.payload = Buffer.from("\xEF\xAA")

or
msg.payload  = Buffer.from('hello world', 'ascii');

As you can see, you can also specify an encoding parameter:

The character encodings currently supported by Node.js include:
'ascii' - for 7-bit ASCII data only. This encoding is fast and will strip the high bit if set.

'utf8' - Multibyte encoded Unicode characters. Many web pages and other document formats use UTF-8.

'utf16le' - 2 or 4 bytes, little-endian encoded Unicode characters. Surrogate pairs (U+10000 to U+10FFFF) are supported.

'ucs2' - Alias of 'utf16le'.

'base64' - Base64 encoding. When creating a Buffer from a string, this encoding will also correctly accept "URL and Filename Safe Alphabet" as specified in RFC4648, Section 5.

'latin1' - A way of encoding the Buffer into a one-byte encoded string (as defined by the IANA in RFC1345, page 63, to be the Latin-1 supplement block and C0/C1 control codes).

'binary' - Alias for 'latin1'.

'hex' - Encode each byte as two hexadecimal characters.

Q: checking of removable discontinuity for sinusoidal function before   i will post  itself question,let us  consider following definition

now consider following question and part $c$

related to part  $c$, we have in square brackets  $sin(x)$   for $sin(x)$ greater number less the or equal to $sin(x)$ will be itself $sin(x)$ right? i dont really understood one part, at $a=\pi$
$sin(a)=0$   right  ?so if it is discontinuous at this point, clearly it is not removable right?but why it  is discontinuous?

A: Take a sequence of points converging to pi from above and a sequence from below. Both sequences have different limits so $a $ is not removable.

Q: How can I define the a stored procedure that return values in mysql I want to define a function as stored procedure in MySQL.
I tried a procedure as follows:
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE getGroupUsers(IN groupId int) return curser

BEGIN
 Declare services_curs cursor for SELECT `service_id`,`service_name`,`service_type_value`,`service_label`,`parent`,`service_group` from services;

open services_curs;

return services_curs;

END //

DELIMITER ;

but an error occurs:
#1313 - RETURN is only allowed in a FUNCTION

I know that this is a terrible syntax error. What is the correct syntax?

A: On procedures you can use OUT variables, which get filled and are available outside the procedure. As said above, a MySQL procedure does not return a value. You'll need a stored function achieve that.
A little example on how to use an OUT variable can be found in the documentation.

A: Use select in procedure for returing value otherwise use function which returns values.

An interactive white board, printer and air-conditioning system were also installed.
Adapt IT CEO Sbu Shabalala and Zwakele Primary student
"As part of our social responsibility, it is important for us to ensure a comprehensive and sustainable training programme is in place for both the educator and learner. Africa Learn was contracted to oversee all training and it will include an onsite facilitator for a period of six months. All courses will be personalised to meet the needs of the school and will allow for maximum flexibility. The course for the teachers will run over a period of six months, empowering them to provide the necessary IT training to the children," said Shabalala.
Angel Projects were managing the project to ensure sustainability of the lab into the future. "It was a privilege to work on this project with Adapt IT and we look forward to installing more of these labs," said Brenda Scheepers, owner of Angel Projects.
Dr Thabi Nkabinde, from the Department of Education, was also grateful for the investment by Adapt IT and said it helps to protect the quality of education in the province. "If children receive good IT education, they can compete in the world and have a better quality of life in the end."
School Principal, Sam Makhanya expressed his sincere appreciation for the new computer lab and said he is excited about the quality of learning it will offer, all in a space dedicated to the children.

During his one-year tenure as head of the Central Command, [Admiral Fallon] proposed a navy-to-navy relationship with Iran as a way to begin a sustained dialogue with the country after nearly three decades without diplomatic relations, Bush administration officials said, speaking anonymously according to normal diplomatic rules. The proposal was not revolutionary; other commanders had floated such an idea before. But it was quickly rejected by the White House as rewarding Tehran, the officials said.
Admiral Fallon declined to discuss the initiative, although he acknowledges that he favors dialogue and patience, not war, with Iran, and that the Navy could provide a way to begin the process.
Interesting that formal relations between navies at a potential flash point for war should not be granted by the United States government. In the pursuit of peace, it is a sound idea. However, in the pursuit of war, it is not.


The Partiologist: Buffet and Beverages!
Ahhh, the lazy days of summer, where are you? Lately, my days have been anything but lazy, it was so nice to lounge around the "Pool" and soak up the sun. All that relaxing made me hungry, I'm now ready to take a trip to the buffet.
While having so much fun diving in my stash of pool toys, I found little swim rings to use at the buffet. Adding a blue tinsel table skirt to the wall, with beach ball lanterns lighting the way, I created my buffet.
I have to say, I was thrilled to see how it all came into place.
I had it all set up days before the party was to begin. I usually have my parties set up at least a week before the actual day of the party. Once I designed and printed the menu, I HAD to make the salads. Which for me is a labor of love. Because really, how cute can a salad be?
Okay, they were cute and delicious!
After the swim rings were inflated, I added the plastic bowls to hold the salad and beach ball napkins were at the beginning of the buffet.
I found a pack of swim ring stickers and knew I could put them to good use.
Not only did they provide a little color to the packages, they were perfect fit for my M & M cookies.
See all those little stickers - I didn't have time to use them all, but you can be sure I'll use them sometime soon!
I stuck the tiny flip flops to the sides of the glasses before filling with my coconut concoction.
And my dive rings were the perfect fit to hold the pool noodles (licorice).
No pool party would be complete without beach ball cookies, right?
Packaged up and ready to go.
Surrounding the cozy full of Peanut M & M's.
The Brownie Truffles were simply coated in chopped walnuts.
These cookies really made a Splash!
Oreo's seem to always make an appearance at my parties. This time by filling a beach ball mold with white chocolate and then painting it with food coloring for candy. After it was painted, I stuck in on the top of an OREO with a dab of white chocolate.
Wow!! All your attention to detail is amazing!! I love it all!!!!
Thank you Beth, I really was happy with the way the buffet turned out!
well now that beats repeating...Wow!! All your attention to detail is amazing!! I love it all!!!!
This is so much fun!!! I dream of chilling out and relaxing at your party.

LondonLife – Ham House gets flowery…
Part of the garden at the historic Thames-side mansion Ham House has been redesigned with the aim of bringing some new life to the manicured lawns. Rosie Fyles, head gardener at the 17th century property in Richmond – now in the care of the National Trust, has overseen the planting of a series of "plats" – each the size of a tennis court – with some 500,000 bulbs and wildflowers to create a "pageant of colour" from early spring and throughout summer. The plats have also been created with wildlife and diversity in mind, using naturalising bulbs to attract bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects. Fyles hopes the project will prove inspirational for home gardeners. "You can easily use pots, planters or a small area of border to create a pollinator-friendly bulb display over a few early spring months; in fact you can curate your own sequence of flowering from February to May at least," she said. "We have used Crocus 'Ruby Giant', four types of species tulips (including bright red Tulipa linifolia) and Muscari latifolium to create a bright, deep blue carpet of colour."

The 17th century mansion, located on the Thames, is doubling as a New York mansion on the Hudson River and the cast and crew spent six weeks filming there in January last year. The film is an adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' 1912 sci-fi comic-book John Carter of Mars, about a civil war veteran who is magically transported to a turbulent new life on the red planet. For more on Ham House, see www.nationaltrust.org.uk/ham-house/. PICTURE: ©2011 Disney.

Caribbean-born Rhys (1890-1979) lived at Paultons House, Paultons Square, in Chelsea in the 1930s and it was while here that she developed her career as a novelist and penned Good Morning, Midnight (1939), now considered one of her finest works. Meanwhile the Anglo-Irish novelist Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) lived at 2 Clarence Terrace, Regents Park, for 17 years and during her time there wrote her two most celebrated works, The Death of the Heart (1938) and The Heat of the Day (1949). Last month blue plaques were unveiled commemorating the home of singer Elisabeth Welch (1904-2003) – described by her biographer as "Britain's first black star" – at Ovington Court in Kensington and that of florist to royalty Constance Spry (1886 – 1960) on the site of her Mayfair shop at 64 South Audley Street.

• Now on: Mapping the London Blitz. This exhibition at the London Metropolitan Archives in Clerkenwell centres on a series of bomb damage maps made during the dark days of World War II. Created by the London County Council, the 110 large maps used a color code to indicate the extent of damage in individual buildings and covered 117 square miles. Now in its last days – exhibition closes on 29th March. For more, see www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/lma.

• Richmond's historic Ham House will be appearing in the forthcoming film Never Let Me Go, based on the best-selling novel by Kazuo Ishiguro. The historic house – which was built in 1610 for Sir Thomas Vavasour, Knight Marshal to James I – was transformed into a fictional English boarding school named Hailsham for the movie which stars Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Keira Knightley. The house site, which is owned by the National Trust, was 'let go' for the film meaning lawns for left unmown for several weeks and weeds encouraged to grow while inside an institutional atmosphere was reportedly created by the installation of flourescent lighting and removal of objects usually displayed there. For more information on Ham House, see www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-hamhouse/w-hamhouse-history.html
• Leaflets showing the route of this year's Lord Mayor's Show have been released by the City of London. The 'show', to be held on 13th November, is the world's oldest civic procession and has been held for 795 years. It commemorates the day when the newly elected Mayor had to make the journey from the City to Westminster to declare his allegiance to the monarch (this year's Lord Mayor of the City of London – the City's 683rd – is Alderman Michael Bear (not to be confused with the Mayor of London Boris Johnson)). The procession kicks off at 11am, with the route going from Mansion House to the Royal Courts of Justice and back. This year it will involve from than 6,500 people from livery companies, military units, marching bands, local schools and businesses and community groups. For more about the event, see www.lordmayorsshow.org.
• Now on: London's contemporary art fair, the Frieze Art Fair, is off and running in Regent's Park until Sunday, while at Primrose Hill, The Museum of Everything has launched Exhibition #3 which features the bizarre animal tableaux of Victorian taxidermist Walter Potter. At the National Gallery, meanwhile, the new exhibition of Canaletto and his Rivals has opened (it runs until 16th January), while the city has been abuzz with the Tate Modern's latest exhibitions, Gauguin, and Ai Weiwei's Sunflower Seeds.

• This year marks the 400th anniversary of Ham House in south west London. Located on the south bank of the Thames, between Richmond and Kingston, the property was built for Sir James Vavasour, Knight Marshall to James I with later owners including William Murray, the 'whipping boy' of Charles I (that is, the boy who took Charles' punishment if he was naughty – let's hope they got on well!), and his daughter, Elizabeth, Countess of Dysart. To find out more about the property, now under the care of the National Trust, and how they're celebrating the 400th anniversary, see http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-hamhouse.
• The former treasury in the crypt beneath St Paul's is hosting a new exhibition – Oculus: An Eye Into St Paul's – which aims to bring 1400 years of the history of the church and surrounding streets of London to life through a 270 degree film experience. The film takes visitors from the streets of Saxon London in 604 AD when the first cathedral was constructed on the site to the its destruction in the Great Fire in 1666 and the days of the Blitz in World War II when it stood as a symbol of English defiance. The exhibition also opens up access of areas of the cathedral to the less mobile – with virtual tours of the dome including the Whispering Gallery and the view from the Golden Gallery. See www.stpauls.co.uk.
• The Monument has won the City of London's City Heritage Award for 2010. The city has recently spent £4.5 million in a restoration project which included a new balustrade on the viewing platform of the memorial to the Great Fire of 1666, regilding the flaming orb, and the installation of a real-time feed of the panoramic views from the top to web with updates every minute. See www.themonument.info.

Kick Mic Shootout
Posted on March 28, 2018 March 28, 2018 by Chris Merten
A soundhouse shootout – kick drum microphones
/ Video: Mikel Perkins
Engineering: Wyatt Harbaugh, Mikel Perkins, Chris Merten, Mike Sebring
the Showdown:
Having been involved in Soundhouse for almost two years has provided me with the opportunity to use a vast array of different microphones and pieces of equipment, but with so many to choose from, sometimes useful mics can become lost in the shuffle. To remedy this, the crew and I set out to capture and compare the sounds of our collection of kick drum microphones. Other than satisfying our own curiosity, we also conducted this experiment to provide an audible showcase of what we have available to clients coming through our doors. As both an engineer and a drummer, I found this particularly useful, and I'm eager to do some experimenting with many of these microphones in future recording sessions. If you're pressed for time, we've also provided a handy video at the bottom of the page for your viewing and listening pleasure!
*If you'd like to skip to the 2 minute video, please scroll down to the "In Conclusion" section!
The drum:
We used Jack Endino's kick drum for this experiment (available for use upon request). It is a vintage Ludwig 14 x 22 with a solid punch and aggressive attack.
Telefunken M82:

Telefunken M82 Polar Pattern
Telefunken M82 Freq Response
The Telefunken M82 is quickly becoming a Soundhouse favorite. It features a variable EQ scoop that helps attenuate the boxiness of the kick, and an EQ boost that accentuates the attack of the drum. I am a huge fan of the sound of this microphone, and am looking forward to using it in future sessions.

Beyerdynamic M88:
A lonesome Beyerdynamic M88
Beyerdynamic M88 Polar Pattern
Beyerdynamic Frequency Response
The M88 is a bit of an anomaly, as it is typically utilized when recording snare or electric guitar. What is notable about it is that the frequency response of the mic varies due to the Proximity Effect. Before this experiment, I never would have suggested using this on a kick, but upon further review, I think that it produces interesting results. The M88 probably would not be my first choice to mic a kick, but in a scenario where I'm experimenting with different sounds, I'd definitely give this a shot.

Audix D6:
An alluring Audix D6
Audix D6 Frequency Response and Polar Pattern
The D6 is a popular microphone for those looking for a modern kick sound. It features a mid-range EQ scoop, and high frequency boost that really accentuates the attack of the drum: a timbre popular in hard rock and heavy metal applications. I personally have a lot of experience micing kicks with the D6, and love it for its solid punch.

AKG D112:
The first mic Jack Endino reaches for when recording a kick
Akg D112 Polar Pattern and Frequency Response
The D112 is a Soundhouse staple, and is often the go-to microphone used when recording a kick drum. It is a personal favorite of Jack Endino, and can be heard throughout his body of work. The low end is punchy and the attack is powerful. You'll feel it in your chest.

Sennheiser 421:
The iconic Sennheiser 421
Sennheiser 421 Polar Pattern and Frequency Response
A classic microphone that needs no introduction, the famous 421 has played a key role in recording for decades. It has a vast number of uses, and is commonly utilized when recording toms, electric guitar, acoustic stringed instruments, and even brass and woodwinds. When used on a kick, it sounds best when going for a more organic timbre. I use a 421 in almost every session, and I'm toying with the idea of throwing it on a kick drum in the future.
https://soundhouserecording.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/421_32.96.wav https://soundhouserecording.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/421.2.wav

Shure Beta 52:
The tried and true, Beta 52
Shure Beta 52 Polar Pattern and Frequency Response
Engineers who work in the world of live sound will be very familiar with the Beta 52. Its robust design makes it dependable, and its erratic frequency response curve makes it ideal for minimizing bleed in loud and reverberant spaces. This is another mic with a high-end boost and mid-range scoop, with a very healthy amount of low end. Historically, I'll usually reach for a Beta 52 or a D112 when tracking a kick.
https://soundhouserecording.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Beta52_32.96.wav https://soundhouserecording.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Beta52.2.wav

AKG D12:
For a vintage tone, try the D12
AKG D12 Polar Pattern and Frequency Response
The D12 is a fantastic microphone if you're looking for a more vintage kick tone. It adds a little more body to the drum sound, which is somewhat refreshing in an era filled with aggressively scooped kicks. I haven't had much experience with this specific mic, but after this experiment, I'm excited to bust it out when tracking something with a little vintage flavor.
https://soundhouserecording.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/D12_32.96.wav https://soundhouserecording.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/D12.2.wav
http://www.coutant.org/akgd12e/akg-d12.pdf
ElectroVoice RE20:
The RE 20 has a variety of applications
RE 20 Polar Pattern and Frequency Response
The is another microphone that provides more of a vintage and full drum sound. Sounds awesome in folk and Americana. Steve Fisk used one when recording Sammy Brue! Apart from kick drums, this mic sounds dynamite on bass cabinets, floor toms, low frequency brass instruments, and vocals.
https://soundhouserecording.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/RE20_32.96.wav https://soundhouserecording.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/RE20.2.wav

ElectroVoice ND868:
ND868 Polar Pattern
ND868 Frequency Response
The ND 868 is a modern sounding mic that really packs a wallop. Nice and punchy. Comparable to the Beta 52 and D6.
https://soundhouserecording.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/EV_32.96.wav https://soundhouserecording.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/EV.2.wav
https://www.electrovoice.com/binary/NDYM868_User_Manual.pdf
ShUre SM91:
Target the drum's attack with the SM 91
SM91 Polar Pattern
SM91 Frequency Response
The SM91 fills a special niche. While response on the low end may be lackluster, placing an SM91 inside a kick can be the key to getting a defined attack. Best when paired with a mic that responds better to low frequencies. Not a mic that I use frequently, but I'll be sure to reach for it the next time I'm looking for a strong click.
https://soundhouserecording.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/SM91__32.96.wav https://soundhouserecording.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/SM91.2.wav

Audio Technica ATM 250:
Audio Technica ATM 250
ATM 250 Polar Pattern
ATM 250 Frequency Response
I think I can sum up the ATM 250 as a comfortable blend between a scooped modern sound and a warm vintage tone. I REALLY dug the sound of this one.
https://soundhouserecording.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/AT2050_32.96.wav https://soundhouserecording.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ATM250.2.wav
http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/resource_library/literature/1062187c2424e585/p52564_atm250_spec_sheet.pdf
This whole experiment served as both a comprehensive window into the vast Soundhouse mic locker and a reminder to myself and others to step out of your comfort zone when in the studio. An exciting new sound could be just around the corner, but sometimes you need to do a little experimentation to get there.
Pre-Production Notes:
We began by calibrating the output of each Trident pre-amp to ensure that every channel would send signal at a uniform level to Pro Tools. After creating an audio channel in Pro Tools and inserting a signal generator plug-in, we ran the output of said channel (PT Output 18) through Pass-Thru 40 and into the Live Room. That signal (pink noise) was then patched directly into each physical Trident input (25 – 35). With all mic input levels set to unity, the line out level on each channel was then adjusted until each corresponding meter in Pro Tools read -22 dB.
Eleven microphones were then placed around the perimeter of the front end of a kick drum. The mics were oriented in an arch formation with each individual mic roughly 3 inches inside the rim of the drum (with the exception of the SM91, which was placed inside the drum). Special care was taken to ensure that no one mic was placed closer to the beater than any other. A series of one-shots were then recorded, varying between soft and aggressive playing.

The Sérac residence is situated in the quiet Slalom area at the higher end of resort.
Close access to the Péclet commercial centre, various restaurants and ski pass office.
Access to the pistes at 20m, direct return to residence.


As you can see I'm giving the blog a bit of a makeover for 2016, so please bear with me as it's not quite finished yet! I thought I'd go for a cleaner look, I hope you all like it – it might take me a few days of tinkering before it's exactly right, but I'm pretty pleased with how it's looking so far.
Thank you so much, so glad you like it! Happy New Year to you too!


Here are some shows taking place in the Minneapolis/St Paul area on October 14, 2016.
Jessica Hernandez and her band The Deltas will be headlining the Triple Rock Social Club next Friday, October 14th, touring in support of their forthcoming sophomore album (due in early 2017).
The Ultrasounds also on the bill.
Rumer Willis' first ever U.S. concert tour is starting this October 12 in Denver, Colorado. Her "Lover the Love" stops in Minneapolis at the Dakota Jazz Club this Friday, October 14th.
Ingrid Michaelson is back in Minneapolis at the Northrop Auditorium this Friday, October 14th.
Indie pop brother trio, AJR (Adam, Ryan, and Jack), will be joining this "Hell No" tour. AJR is certain 'ready', after their smash hit 'I'm Ready' hitting US Certified Platinum.
Tom Odell is touring in the US in support of his second album Wrong Crowd (RCA Records/Columbia Records). The album is the follow up to 2013's million selling, number 1 record Long Way Down.
Recently Odell got legendary actor Kevin Spacey to star in his new music video for 'Here I Am'.
Barns Courtney to open. The raspy-throated British blues singer's new single 'Glitter & Gold' is out now.
Fresh from a radio in-studio session and ahead of her sold out weekend show at Minneapolis' First Avenue, indie-pop singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson and band found themselves amongst rollercoasters and Spongebob Squarepants.
Currently on tour promoting her sixth album, Lights Out (Cabin 24 Records/Mom+Pop), Michaelson converted the shopping throng of onlookers at the Mall of America with a half-hour set of infectious songs, both old and new.
Michaelson began her mini-set with a new song she's opening her full shows with as well; 'Home' with its opening lyric, "Even in the harshest of winter I feel so warm, when the marks climb up the wall I still feel small, this is my home", something Minnesotans could relate to after a long and brutal winter.
Joking about staring into Spongebob's "googly eyes" as she sang and reminiscing about riding the rollercoasters while here a few years back, Michaelson moved forward with 'Soldier', from previous album, Everybody.
Hits followed for the rest of the short set, starting with 'Be Okay' and new single, 'Girls Chase Boys', which has made a splash with its homage-in-reverse tribute to Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" music video. The song that first put her on the map, the clap-a-long friendly "The Way I Am" was next, a sweet short song that seemed to be swallowed a little by the cavernous Rotunda stage area.
In terms of sound, it's not close to musically ideal; there is echoing and bouncing everywhere, while the music and vocals compete with shopper conversations, people riding in the adjacent amusement park and noise hollowing up and down the massive five floors. But, the Rotunda does provide maximum visual exposure, as people were encamped in front of the stage as well as along the railings on all levels to watch.
After a brief mashup of songs 'Maybe and 'Everybody', Michaelson ended the set with new song and album closer, 'Afterlife', with lyrics that could speak as her credo: "We are going to live tonight, like there's no tomorrow, 'cause we are the afterlife", mentioning before starting that she'd probably never play this kind of space again, and remarking how it somehow reminded her of "The Matrix".
With now six albums under her belt, adding playing the most famous mall in the country to her resume, and recently announced to return to town as a headliner for July's Basilica Block Party, Michaelson can afford to keep dreaming big as the Megamall itself.
Allie Moss is a singer-songwriter from Monmouth County, New Jersey based around the NYC and NJ area. She's played at some great venues such as The Sidewalk Café, Rockwood Music Hall, Pianos, and others and plays alongside fellow New York singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson. She currently has a demo that's hand decorated and numbered by her appropriately titled My Last & Final Demo. It's a compilation of "snapshots" she's written and recorded over the past 2 years to help fund her EP. I actually discovered Allie through Eisley's Laughing City a couple of years ago. After hearing a few songs, she became part of my list of favorite female singer-songwriters along with Ingrid Michaelson.
Ingrid Michaelson is a singer-songwriter from New York (Staten Island to be exact, which is where I'm from and previously Brooklyn) and plays mainly around the NYC area. She currently has two albums and her songs have been featured in episodes of Grey's Anatomy. She also has a side project with Andrew Futral of The Age of Rockets called Ingrid + Andrew which they bill as Dutch Pop. I found out about Ingrid through Allie's MySpace since she was a "top friend" and in this case, they really are friends, not just MySpace friends. Allie recently performed at The Hotel Café Festival with Ingrid and they'll be on tour together until August 29. And then starting in October, they'll be opening for Matt Nathanson on a national tour.
The Hotel Café is a singer/songwriter venue located in Los Angeles, California. Their annual festival showcases some great musicians you may have heard of already and some that are on the rise. Past musicians include Imogen Heap, KT Tunstall, Jason Mraz, The Honorary Title, and many others. Portions of the proceeds from the festival will benefit the Friends of Snuffy organization. "This all volunteer group works to improve the lives of pets and stray animals through education programs, grants and direct funding. It focuses on the Central New York State area."


With a MRSA infection, I wonder if there's a cruel joke that was being played on me.
2010 started out just fine. I was still dealing with my hips as my 'primary' issue now that the large ovarian cyst was removed. In January, it would be 9 months of Trying to Conceive (TTC). I didn't give that much thought in the fact that I wanted to figure out what was wrong with my hips and how I was going to solve the problem.
I noticed I had this red bump on my thigh. I just chalked it up to a bug bite or shaving bump for it was small and seemed benign.
I actually went to the dermatologist who said it was a spider bite. Great! There's a freaking spider in my house biting me? We better find him before he bites me again! Jesus! I was given topical cream and that was it.
About 3 days of putting on the cream, I noticed the bite was still the same, but it was now getting a red ring around the bump. I went to the nurse at work and she said the same thing: spider bite & put cream on it.
Well, it got redder and redder. I thought it was just the cream taking longer to work and on Valentine's Day, my husband said he thought we should go to ER. I couldn't lift my left leg. The red ring had consumed most of my thigh and was hot and tight. Once again, I was so glad he was home to help me with this. It was 1:00 in the morning when he drove me to the ER.
At the ER, the doctor said he could open it up to see what was inside. He was sure it wasn't a bug bite or a spider bite because it was winter and we didn't see never saw a spider on my thigh. I'd remember that!
He started with numbing shots on my thigh. I was laying down on the bed while my husband looked on. We had just watched a movie at the theater and it was 12:30 am.
My husband later told me that the doctor did over 5 shots of numbing stuff. I only felt one. The next part is best I didn't see. I just watched my husband's eyes.
When his eyes got big, I knew something SERIOUS just happened. I couldn't feel anything, but something running down my thigh.
Apparently, he had stuck the scalpel in downward the WHOLE way. Not a little bit...not half way, the ENTIRE way. So I had 2 inches of blade in my leg! Ahhhhhh! So glad I didn't see it.
Next he cut a small incision in the bump. It was a sebaceous cyst. The stuff inside was sebum or thicker pus. It was a hair follicle that got infected...possibly from shaving.
The next part is not for the weak stomached. He had to get all the sebum out to PACK IT FULL OF GAUZE TAPE. I'm talking 3 yards of gauze. Not a few inches but YARDS! I got stuffed like a turkey and was told to not put anything on it like a bandaid. After 3 days, in the shower, I was to pull out all the gauze. This was to get all the infectious sebum out without the opening closing.
I also got a shot in the bum for infection and must note that the staff didn't wear gloves but the doctor did. The nurse who came to wrap up my leg with the larger gauze wore no gloves. The reason we were given when asked was: "Wearing gloves is for our own good to protect us from the patient." Yep...that's interesting So, we don't know if you were touching blood in the last room, but now you are touching me? (We did contact the hospital about this and they were furious a nurse told us that reason). I was given a script for anti-biotics too.
They also sent that sebum for a culture since my leg was so red and sore. Pulling out that gauze on day 3 was TERRIBLE. Once again, I cried as I took my hands in a 'tug-of-war' mode and pulled it all out in the shower. It felt like it wasn't going to end.

Influenza vaccination information
The 2019-20 Alberta Influenza Immunization Program will officially begin the week of October 21, 2019. Alberta Health anticipates that influenza vaccine will begin to be distributed across the province starting the week of September 30, 2019. Pharmacists can offer the vaccine to patients, based on an individual assessment, as soon as they receive it. Large influenza immunization clinics will have enough supply to begin the week of October 21, 2019. Alberta Blue Cross claims will be accepted starting October 1, 2019.
The vaccine distribution process for influenza will remain the same for all health practitioners. All initial orders of supply will be distributed before additional orders can be filled. Please do not request early shipment dates as all shipments will arrive prior to October 21, 2019.
Albertans will be advised to check with their community pharmacist, doctor's office, public health clinic, or call Health Link at 811 to find out when influenza immunization will be available in their area.
For your reference, below are the details of the 2019-20 program.
Age of administration
Pharmacists may administer influenza vaccine to Albertans five years of age and older.
Important considerations to note include the following:
Children who are younger than nine years of age and have never received a dose of seasonal influenza vaccine require two doses with a minimum spacing of four weeks between doses.
A review of the child's immunization record can be viewed in Netcare.
Pharmacists immunizing children five to eight years of age should be comfortable with appropriate restraint and distraction techniques and be prepared to respond to an emergency event (e.g., anaphylaxis).
Pharmacists must submit claims to Alberta Blue Cross within three business days. However, claims for doses administered to a child five to eight years of age should be entered as a priority to prevent delays in updating the child's immunization record to ensure accuracy of the immunization schedule and history. It takes about two weeks for the immunization record entered into Alberta Blue Cross to be viewed in Netcare.
If you have any questions, please contact health.imm@gov.ab.ca.
Influenza Immunization Program
The Influenza Immunization Program's website includes information for the public, facts about influenza, and AHS Influenza clinics.
The site also includes a section for healthcare professionals, which features the influenza vaccine provider registration form and ordering, information specifically for pharmacists, general references, and monthly newsletters.
Alberta Health has provided this vaccine chart for the 2019-20 influenza season.
Alberta Influenza Immunization Policy
The Government of Alberta's Influenza Immunization Policy for the 2019-20 influenza season includes information about the purpose of the policy, Alberta's targets for influenza immunization, who is eligible, supply, distribution and administration of vaccine, cold chain management, adverse events, and recording and reporting requirements.
For more information or to read the policy, visit the Alberta Health website.
RxA Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Program 2019-20 – online course
This online course provides an overview of policies and procedures for pharmacists participating in the delivery of publicly funded influenza vaccine.
Can pharmacists administer influenza vaccine outside of a pharmacy?
Yes. However, there are some restrictions. For a complete list of potential locations, requirements, and restrictions, refer to page 14 (appendix) of the Alberta Influenza Immunization Policy.
Keep in mind that the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice for Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians still apply when providing a pharmacy service outside of a pharmacy. In particular, note Principle 4.6 of the Code of Ethics regarding patient privacy, and Standards 16 through 18 regarding ensuring proper procedures and environment (Standard 16), ensuring patient safety (Standard 17), and creating and maintaining patient records (Standard 18).
Pharmacists should submit claims to Alberta Blue Cross within three business days of providing the service.
Appropriate storage and handling is essential to provide potent biological products to the public. Detailed requirements are outlined in the Alberta Vaccine Storage and Handling Policy for Provincially Funded Vaccine. All known exposures of vaccine to temperatures outside +2.0°C to +8.0°C or light requirements as specified in the product monograph must be reported.
Community pharmacists: Report cold chain excursions to the vaccine manufacturer within five days for viability determination. A copy of the documentation must be kept with the vaccine. This record must be retained for at least seven years. More details on your roles and responsibilities can be found in the Alberta Vaccine Storage and Handling Policy for Provincially Funded Vaccine.
Monitoring the health and safety of Albertans is paramount. Immunizers must have protocols in place for management and reporting of anaphylaxis and other serious adverse events.
Report all Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) of influenza vaccine to AHS within three days of being informed. When the adverse event is severe (e.g., anaphylaxis), the event should be reported within 24 hours.
Details on AEFI reporting, including case definitions and reporting requirements are included in the Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) Policy for Alberta Immunization Providers.
The health practitioner shall ensure that the adverse event following immunization is reported to AHS. Further information on the reporting process and the AEFI report form can be accessed via the AHS website.
For further information, please refer to Standard 5.3 of the Standards of Practice for Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians regarding reporting requirements for adverse reactions, and Standard 6.4 of the Standards for the Operation of Licensed Pharmacies regarding reporting requirements for adverse reactions.
Also, as outlined in Standard 16, a pharmacist who administers a drug, blood product, or vaccine must have policies and procedures for handling emergencies.
The Incident Analysis Process Summary and Quick Reference Guide is a great resource.
What if I'm not participating in the program?
Even if you don't administer vaccine, you can still play a key role in immunizations as educators and facilitators. We urge you to provide your patients with accurate information regarding influenza immunizations, including referral to an AHS Public Health immunization clinic, particularly for those patients in high risk groups. You can find more information on the AHS website.

Many houses were flooded and to date some of those affected have not been able to return to their residences to find out the extent of the damage.
In order to assist, the employees of the RCMP and the members of the RCMP Veterans' Association Calgary division a fund has been set up with the Bank of Montreal to accept donations.

This section on chest wall disorders encompasses benign disorders of the skeletal and muscular chest wall, including congenital deformities of the chest wall, a group of compressive disorders known collectively as thoracic outlet syndrome, and management of chest wall infections (Fig. 118-1).
Muscular (A) and skeletal (B) anatomy of the chest, anterior view.
Congenital chest wall deformities may be categorized as (1) pectus excavatum, (2) pectus carinatum, (3) Poland's syndrome, (4) sternal defects, and (5) miscellaneous anterior chest wall defects. While most patients present during childhood, some may present in early adulthood as well.
Pectus excavatum, or "funnel chest," is a congenital deformity characterized by posterior depression of the middle to inferior portion of the sternum and posterior curvature of the associated costal cartilages. Generally, the manubrium and first and second ribs are normal. The severity of the depression varies and is usually asymmetric with a deviation to the right side. Shamberger and colleagues reported that most cases (86%) are diagnosed at or within a few weeks of birth.1 Although it was once commonly believed that children would "grow out of" this deformity, the severity of the sternal depression may increase as the child grows.

Four weeks and counting
The right of voting for representatives is the primary right by which other rights are protected.
And so it begins. Yesterday's announcement that the General Election is to be on May 6 puts an end to the 'phoney election' period and the campaigning moves up a gear.
In 30 days we may have a new party in power or we may not. We may have a hung Parliament, with all the instability that that brings.
The last time we had an election where the outcome seemed so uncertain was probably 1974 when Harold Wilson's Labour was returned with 33 seats short of a majority, leading to a second election that October. Unless you count the 1992 contest which Labour was widely tipped to win, until the late John Smith's proposed Budget and Neil Kinnock's US-style Sheffield rally cocked it all up for them.
The Channel 4 TV Chancellors' Debate between Alistair Darling, Vince Cable and George Osborne, effectively the televisual start of the election campaign, was interesting but it really served to show one thing.
That with a three-party first-past-the-post system, the guy in the middle (in this case Cable, both literally and politically) is always going to be the last horse home, no matter how much better he performs before the polls. And boy, did he perform, knocking spots off dear Darling and the boy George.
Every association and organisation is feverishly preparing their statements and manifestoes to try and get each political party to listen and take their concerns seriously.
I'm not going to list all their demands as we'll be covering them all in our special election mini-site, but the key point is that whether it's the CPA, the FMB, BMF, the Get Britain Building Campaign, the House Builders Federation, the National Housing Federation, or the Building and Construction News charters, we all want the same thing from the next Government.
We want the construction industry to be listened to. To be taken seriously. To be treated like the huge, important chunk of GDP that it represents.
Watch out for our Election Special micro-site which we are preparing now which will include all the relevant news stories, comments and blogs and where you can have your say. Plus, keep an eye out for the April issue of BMJ which goes to town on the Election.


In distinction, in civil regulation systems, individual decisions have solely advisory, not binding impact. Civil law is the area of the American authorized system that manages disputes or fallacious-doings between non-public parties. For instance, in England, frequent law as late because the Nineteen Seventies held that, when couples divorced, fathers—fairly than moms—have been entitled to custody of the youngsters, a bias that in impact stored girls trapped in marriages.
Here in New York, frequent law marriage has not been legally sanctioned since 1933. In New Jersey, the appellate courts are unified, but the trial courts are organized into a Chancery Division and a Law Division. By the 14th Century legal decisions and commentaries on the widespread legislation started providing precedents for the courts and attorneys to observe.
This article is meant for anybody concerned in an extended-term, committed relationship, who has never been formally married, and desires to know his or her rights. But widespread regulation is normally based on precedent that means that instances are primarily based off judicial choices which were made in related circumstances. So, despite the abolition of frequent law marriage in 1933, our courts continue to acknowledge common legislation marriages that were established in different jurisdictions.
Also, like American frequent-law marriages, it's a type of lawful marriage, so that folks can't be common-regulation spouses, or husband and wife by cohabitation with habit and repute, if considered one of them was legally married to somebody else when the connection began.
In widespread regulation marriage the couple solely had to mutually conform to dwell a life consummated as man and wife. In case you are a cohabitant, chances are you'll be legally considered single; if you are common law married, you are legally thought-about married to the identical degree as should you had a ceremony.

Nevada doesn't acknowledge common law marriage, and a divorce lawyer cannot change the legislation. The events should intend their relationship to be, and to be regarded as, a legally legitimate marriage.
Private damage lawsuits come up from civil claims involving tort regulation.

The decide or jury evaluates the proof, applies the suitable regulation to the info, and renders a judgment in favor of one of the parties.
The Structure of the United States is a standard legislation document. Somewhat surprisingly, contracts all through the world (for example, contracts involving events in Japan, France and Germany, and from a lot of the other states of the United States) usually select the law of New York, even the place the connection of the events and transaction to New York is sort of attenuated.

The excellent news: in case your relationship is found to be a standard legislation marriage, you'll typically have the identical rights and obligations as each other divorcing spouse on this State.
Courts make determinations in regulation and in equity. The widespread regulation grew to become the fundamental law of most states as a result of Commentaries on the Laws of England, accomplished by Sir William Blackstone in 1769, which became each American lawyer's bible. In contrast, civil legislation decisions sometimes don't embrace explanatory opinions, and thus no precedent flows from one choice to the subsequent.
Frequent legislation, also known as case law, is a body of unwritten legal guidelines based on authorized precedents established by the courts. Indian laws also adhere to the United Nations pointers on human rights law and environmental law Certain worldwide trade laws , equivalent to these on mental property , are also enforced in India.
Common Regulation is an American comedy-drama television collection , which ran on USA Network from May 11 to August 10, 2012, and stars Michael Ealy and Warren Kole as two Los Angeles Police Division detectives who can't stand each other and are ordered to see a couples therapist to remedy the state of affairs.
Scots widespread law covers issues together with murder and theft, and has sources in customized, in legal writings and previous court choices.

Mid-14c., "the customary and unwritten legal guidelines of England as embodied in commentaries and previous instances" (see common (adj.)), versus statute legislation.
The feature which more than something distinguishes the frequent regulation from other Western authorized systems is extended its reliance upon precedent. With emblems which are governed by common legislation, trademark infringements are harder to establish. A key distinction between the two legal guidelines is that the widespread laws have been developed primarily based on results which have occurred in older courtroom circumstances.
Judicial decisions and treatises of the seventeenth and 18th centuries, such at those of Lord Chief Justice Edward Coke , offered the common law as a set of such maxims. In case you are charged with BUI or BWI, it will be significant that you simply search the assistance of a legal professional who will battle for your rights and freedoms in a court of regulation.
In the frequent legislation system which is used within the legal systems akin to Britain, the United States, Canada and Australia there's a essential principle of the felony law which has existed within the legal programs of these countries from the time that is was first developed within the authentic England widespread legislation system. In contrast to civil law, legal legislation includes crimes in opposition to the state, government, or society in complete, reasonably than a non-public get together or person. A's case for widespread regulation marriage was a powerful one. It additionally states that failure to make a timely reservation of one's common regulation rights leads to the loss of those rights, which can not be asserted at a later date.
Article 19 suggests that, every time attainable, commanders ought to inform the enemy of their intent to attack and give noncombatants a chance to flee earlier than the assault begins, although the subsequent statement says that surprise is sometimes a navy necessity and "it's no infraction of the common regulation of conflict to omit thus to tell the enemy.

Tatiana Gerasimenok - Insomnia.Poison (2016) For three percussionists. Performers: Vasily Koloda, Elisey Dregalin, Yuri Posypanov.
This composition consists of a pre-recorded audio and an instrumental score. The recording of street sounds was made on the corner of 6th Avenue and 18th Street near the building where John Cage lived. This audio has no overdubs and no effects. It sounds exactly as it was recorded. John Cage himself could have heard these sounds from the window of his apartment... The score written for strings and piano is an interplay of the notes C-A-G-E and the numbers - the date of his birth: day, month, year, Century.
