Q: @ngrx/data - how can I extend a collection reducer / replace handling of the results of a data service call? Using @ngrx/data I want to handle the result of the getWithQuery API call differently than the default.
Currently if this returns an array of entities, this gets loaded in the entityCache directly.
So far I've used the standard pattern shown in the overview:
export const entityMetadata: EntityMetadataMap = {
  PurchaseOrder: {}
};

@Injectable({
  providedIn: "root"
})
export class PurchaseOrderService extends EntityCollectionServiceBase<
  PurchaseOrder
> {
  constructor(serviceElementsFactory: EntityCollectionServiceElementsFactory) {
    super("PurchaseOrder", serviceElementsFactory);
  }
}

Instead I want to handle the following API response and load the entities in the entityCache as the normal getWithQuery would but also stick the total elsewhere in my store.
{
    "entities": [{...}, {...}, ..., {...}],    // list of entities
    "total": 100
}

Naturally I get the following error if this API response is returned:

My understanding is that a default reducer gets created and registered for each entity providing the EntityCollectionDataService interface with the add / delete / getAll / getById / getWithQuery / update methods.
I want to keep these methods but override the getWithQuery reducer to achieve my aim.
This is mentioned in Customizing Entity Reducer Behavior

But quite often you'd like to extend a collection reducer with some additional reducer logic that runs before or after.

How can this be actually done?
I still get the above error if I try to override getWithQuery inside my PurchaseOrderService
  getWithQuery(params) {
    return super.getWithQuery(params).pipe(tap(result => console.log(result)));
  }

A: Managed to get this working using a custom EntityDataService
@Injectable()
export class PurchaseOrderDataService extends DefaultDataService<
  PurchaseOrder
> {
  constructor(
    http: HttpClient,
    httpUrlGenerator: HttpUrlGenerator,
    logger: Logger,
    config: DefaultDataServiceConfig
  ) {
    super("PurchaseOrder", http, httpUrlGenerator, config);
  }

  getWithQuery(params: string | QueryParams): Observable<PurchaseOrder[]> {
    return super.getWithQuery(params).pipe(
      tap(res => console.log(res)),
      map((res: any) => res.entities)
    );
  }
}

Then this needs to be registered:
@NgModule({
  providers: [PurchaseOrderDataService] // <-- provide the data service
})
export class EntityStoreModule {
  constructor(
    entityDataService: EntityDataService,
    purchaseOrderDataService: PurchaseOrderDataService
  ) {
    entityDataService.registerService(
      "PurchaseOrder",
      purchaseOrderDataService
    ); // <-- register it
  }
}

And import this alongside EntityDataModule.forRoot({ entityMetadata }),

While undergoing renovations, the roof of The Whaley Historic House caught on fire in Flint, Michigan. No one was physically harmed, but the house has suffered enormous amounts of damage. Funds will be used to repair any and all fire damage.
UPDATE: People are wondering who I am! I am a friend of Samantha Engel (Whaley Executive Director), a member of Whaley House and the Executive Director of Flint Handmade, which has a partnership with Whaley on our Quilting Bee.
I am also a resident of the City of Flint and I care deeply about the revitalization of our community! Because I set up this page for a registered charity, the funds will be mailed via check directly to Whaley. I hope this info helps!
While this is a season of celebration, it is also one of giving. And, Whaley House needs your gifts more than ever.
Unfortunately, a gap has been found in the insurance coverage. Insurance companies take into account depreciation when it comes to rebuilding. So, the insurance payout, for example, for the 10-year-old roof is what is would cost to put on a 10-year-old roof.
Of course, this is impossible. To replace a roof, you need to put on a brand new roof. Same goes for wallpaper and other features, which will be paid out for their age and not necessarily a true replacement cost. We don't have an estimate on the difference yet, but it will definitely be significant.
Please consider making a gift to Whaley House this holiday season. Thank you for your support.
Holes had to be punched into the first floor ceiling to allow water to drain out from the second floor. It is estimated that it will take 8 months to repair all of the fire, smoke and water damage.
Unfortunately, the Whaley House has had to cancel all of their holiday programming. The Members Reception was supposed to held last night. December is usually one of the busiest months for Whaley, so it's just especially sad that the fire happened when it did.
"In recent years, the museum board has focused on restoration projects, partnerships with area organizations, and ways to activate the space to get the community to the building."
This was the final paragraph of a recent article about the fire and it's so, so important. Samantha and the volunteers were working so hard to make the Whaley House relevant to the community. Thankfully, the community took note and is working to support them right now during this tragedy.

Thanks for your comment, Heather M! "Happy to help reach this first $1,000 in support of the Whaley House rebuilding! Insurance will cover most of it but this is to help with all the small things that may get overlooked." -Heather M.
Thanks for asking, Melissa. Yes, after creating this campaign, we determined that there is insurance and we expect that to cover most of the damage. However, insurance payouts can take time and there are still many repairs and renovations that need to be done that were not part of the damaged areas. Whaley had just received a grant to cover a small portion of the repairs needed, but they still have a long way to go. We want to show the Whaley staff, board and volunteers that the community supports them, especially after this tragic event. We hope you will join us!
My parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in August of 1997 at Whaley House. It was the last time my dad's family was all together, as he passed away the following February. Whaley House holds a special place in my heart. I wish I could make a larger donation at this time.
As a fellow museum director I feel your pain- it's every one of us's nightmare. Hope you get many more to help out.


Due to unforeseen circumstances The Broadmayne Players have reluctantly decided to postpone their forthcoming production of Little Bo-Peep till February next year.
All the hard work that has been put in so far, by the cast and back-stage crews, will stand them in good stead for 2020 when the pantomime should be better than ever. They hope to see you there.

Q: Trouble following the Saclay method (spectral representation of thermal Green functions) Note: I just answered my own mathematical question by writing it up, but I thought I'd share it anyway in case someone else has a similar difficulty. :) I'm still left with my real physical question: why do the distribution functions appear in the thermal Green function the way they do? It is not intuitively obvious to me at all. Is there any way of understanding this on an intuitive or physical level?
Here follows the solved question:
I'm trying to follow a derivation in Parwani, "Resummation in a Hot Scalar Field Theory" and having trouble following the "Saclay method" he introduces for simplyfing the Green functions for finite temperature scalar field theory. (The reference he gives for this is his own work here but I can't seem to get the full-text through my university account for some reason.)
If this is too much of a pure math problem I'm happy to move it over to the other stackexchange, but I'm really trying to teach myself thermal field theory. The spectral representation mentioned in this paper looked interesting to me because of the way the distribution functions come in and how it is supposed to simplify the Matsubara sums, but trying to reproduce the result is giving me trouble.
I'm getting stuck between equations 2.3 and 2.4. Equation 2.3 is a propagator:
$$ \Delta(K^2) = \frac{1}{K^2 + M^2} \equiv \frac{1}{(k^0)^2 + k^2 + M^2} \;\;\;\; (2.3) $$
and in equation 2.4 he gives a spectral representation for it:
$$ \Delta(K^2) = \int_0^{1/T} \mathrm{d}\tau\ \mathrm{e}^{i k^0 \tau} \Delta(\tau, k)  \;\;\;\; (2.4) $$
where
$$ \Delta(\tau, k) \equiv \frac{(1+n_k)\mathrm{e}^{- E_k \tau}+n_k\mathrm{e}^{E_k \tau}}{2 E_k} $$
and $E_k^2 = k^2 + M^2$ and $n_k = [\exp(E_k/T)-1]^{-1}$ is the Bose-Einstein distribution.
I'm trying to verify the formula by going from 2.4 to 2.3. The $\tau$ integral is trivial. I get:
$$ \int{\cdots} = \frac{1}{ik^0 - E_k}  \frac{1+n_k}{2 E_k} \left[ \mathrm{e}^{(i k^0 - E_k)/T} - 1 \right] + \frac{1}{ik^0 + E_k} \frac{n_k}{2 E_k} \left[ \mathrm{e}^{(i k^0 + E_k)/T} - 1 \right] $$
Combining denominators I need to show that:
$$ f(k,k^0,T)\equiv (ik^0 + E_k)\frac{1+n_k}{2 E_k} \left[ \mathrm{e}^{(i k^0 - E_k)/T} - 1 \right] + (ik^0 - E_k) \frac{n_k}{2 E_k} \left[ \mathrm{e}^{(i k^0 + E_k)/T} - 1 \right] \overset{?}{=} -1 $$
I don't see how this could possibly be a constant. I've tried plugging in $n_k$ and simplifying but it doesn't work, either by hand or in Mathematica. In fact, putting in simple values like $M=0,\ T=1$ and plotting (the real part, and I've called $k^0\rightarrow\omega$) I get:

There's also a non-trivial imaginary part, which looks like that but shifted in $\omega$.
So clearly I'm missing something basic or the method doesn't actually work. I've also tried changing signs in a few places in case there was a typo, to no avail. Anybody know where I'm going wrong? Or even better if you have a good technique that accomplishes the same thing this supposedly does. :-)

A: This is where I solved my own question:
So of course $k^0$ is restricted to be an integer multiple of $2\pi T$ by the periodicity condition on the imaginary time axis. If you substitute this in and use the identity
$$ \mathrm{e}^{-E_k/T} (n_k + 1) = n_k $$
a few times all of the bad bits disappear and a miraculous cancellation proves the result.


Kaiser Permanente proposes the development of a new 60,000 s.f., three-story Medical Office Building 2,to be located at the southwest corner of the existing Baldwin Park Medical Campus in Baldwin Park, California. The project also includes a parking addition of approximately 800 cars consisting of 1 level below, and 4 levels above gradethat will align and connect to the south portion of the existing approximate 2150 car parking structure fronting Bess Avenue. The campus includes the existing 6-story hospital tower with its unique profile, elegant sweeping form and aqua glazing as its most iconic structure. Designed to sit in a lagoon, it creates a focal point anda cool, refreshing, and quiet park for members to stroll. Theexisting adjacent three-story existing medical office building and outpatient clinic are also distinctive in appearance, clad in silver toned metal with accents of color. The proposed Medical Office Building 2 will be designed aesthetically to compliment the iconic and modern Medical center and campus. The building siting takes into consideration service access, established circulation paths to the existing campus and maximum utilization of outdoor space in the form of its public square. Additionally, the building siting allows for clear member pedestrian wayfinding from the existing medical campus, parking structure and member drop-off. To achieve this, the angular plan geometry rotates 30 degrees north giving the building a more introspective shape to accommodate these various site forces and requirements. With a strong visual connection to its surrounding neighborhood, the new facility serves as a gateway to the campus and extension of its community. It not only provides high quality medical care, but also promotes social health and holistic wellness. To achieve this, the public square will offer various features and spaces that encourage healthy living, accommodating both intimate and private interactions. The seating areas will be more than a place to rest, it will give members freedom to choose the kind of experience they wish to be part of. The large scale of the of the existing campus park, and the grand sweeping gesture of the serpentine path surrounding the lagoon, allow the new public square the opportunity to be a place for smaller community gatherings where families can enjoy an oasis of respite. The material pallet is comprised of blue cement board panels configured in bands of blue, alternating with vision and spandrel glazing, acknowledging the color of the iconic hospital tower, silver metal panels and trim that are part of the adjacent existing medical office building, and painted plaster. The composition, scale, and form is simple, timeless and modern, respecting the architectural language of the existing campus.A two story glazed wall on the north, provides visual access to and from the public square. The new MOB 2 creates a warm and inviting place through its transparency and use of natural materials. These materials combine to create building features that achieve a variety of formal goals that strengthen the architectural language of the entire Baldwin Park Medical campus.

Pollution may 'wipe out' a generation of seabirds
Sam Masters
A dead guillemot at Wembury, Devon
An entire generation of seabirds could be wiped out on a section of the British coastline after hundreds were found dead last week, wildlife authorities have warned.
More than 700 guillemots, razorbills and puffins have been washed up in Devon and Cornwall in the last fortnight covered in a clear sticky substance thought to be polyisobutene (PIB).
Wildlife agencies in the two counties said the number of birds killed or rendered helpless could now reach thousands and warned that a "whole generation of seabirds" may have been wiped out by a single pollution incident.
PIB is an oil additive often used to improve the performance of lubricating oil and is considered a hazard to the marine environment. But it is legal to discharge it in certain quantities directly into the sea.
The Cornwall Wildlife Trust renewed calls for PIB discharges to be outlawed by the International Maritime Organisation. It said "urgent action" was required to prevent "further death and destruction" in the South West.
"It has been a terribly sad time for everyone seeing these beautiful birds washing up dead in horrific numbers along our coastline," said Abby Crosby, a marine conservation officer for Cornwall Wildlife Trust.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said it had been unable to trace the source of the spill, although it appears to be the same as that which affected more than 300 birds along a 200-mile stretch of coastline in January and February.

Skinny Taco Soup made in the slow cooker is packed with flavor and super simple to prepare. Sauté onions and turkey, open a few cans, and you're good to go!
The mornings are crisp and the leaves are changing colors and drifting off our trees and that's a sure sign that it's soup time! There are so many taco soup recipes out there, but this Skinny Slow Cooker Taco Soup made with lean ground turkey is sure to become one of your new favorites.
This is one of those good pantry recipes. Other than sautéing the fresh ground turkey and onion, all you have to do is open up a few cans. How much easier could it get?! And as a bonus, this soup skips using the packaged taco seasoning mix which means there's less sodium and who knows what else. An easy, healthier, yet still delicious soup? I'm all in!
When I cook soups with ground turkey, I like to give it an extra flavor and color boost by adding the spices before I add the turkey to the rest of the soup ingredients.
First, I cook the turkey and diced onions in a large skillet until done, breaking it up with a fork to make sure there are no large clumps of meat. Then I sprinkle the meat mixture with my spices and then cook and stir for another three to four minutes. The chili powder, paprika, and black pepper especially work to give the meat a nice, rich color so you can fake out the family—they'll never guess that it's turkey instead of beef!
Easy Brunswick Stew with pulled pork or chicken has everything you need to serve up a hearty, filling meal to feed a group of hungry folks.
Creamy Chicken Florentine Soup—make this rich, creamy soup in the slow cooker with chicken, fresh spinach, and mushrooms. Top with Parmesan croutons for extra flavor.
Rustic Sausage Tortellini Soup—with either spicy or mild Italian sausage—is a warm and filling vegetable soup for a chilly day.
Skinny Taco Soup made in the slow cooker is packed with flavor and super simple to prepare. Sauté onions and turkey, open a few cans, and you're good to go!
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skilled over medium heat. Add ground turkey and the diced onion and cook (stirring frequently to break up any chunks) until the meat is done and the onions are translucent.
Drain the turkey and onions and return to the skillet. Sprinkle the spices (chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, salt, paprika, and onion powder) over all and continue to cook and stir until the spices coat the meat, turning it a nice brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the meat mixture to the bottom of a slow cooker, then add the remaining ingredients and stir. Cook on high heat for 4 to 5 hours.
Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, lime slices, and tortilla chips, if desired.


While preparing the review, I took the opportunity to ask Andrew Jones, Pioneer's chief engineer, a few questions about hi-fi, music, and loudspeaker design. As always, Jones was forthright and charming; his answers to my questions were often enlightening.
Stephen Mejias: In the July issue of Stereophile, two of your loudspeakers were reviewed: the $29,800/pair TAD Evolution One and the $129.99/pair Pioneer SP-BS22-LR. It's not entirely uncommon to find two products designed by the same person in any issue of Stereophile, but I doubt we've ever reviewed in one issue two products by the same designer that have had such radically different prices. How do you feel about that? Do you take more pride or happiness in one design over the other?
Andrew Jones: I feel great about that! I remember when I started the design of the original versions, the BS21, that I thought it would be fun to design a true entry-level speaker that would perform to such a surprising degree that it would excite first-comers into hi-fi and inspire them to get more interested in their music and our hobby. Kal Rubinson was the first person to be surprised at their performance level when he heard them at CEDIA over two years ago. The BS22 are an evolution from the BS21, and allowed me to take the designs even further. They also take me full circle: Back when I was at KEF, the first design I did after moving from research into product development was an entry level speaker (the C45, I seem to recall), so now after 25 years or so I'm back at square one!
To design these speakers at the same time as designing almost cost-no-object speakers is particularly satisfying. Each has its own design challenges and subsequent satisfaction when completed, but the great thing is that lots of people can afford the entry level Pioneers and don't have to feel disenfranchised because hi-fi has become too expensive.
"The great thing is that lots of people can afford the entry level Pioneers and don't have to feel disenfranchised because hi-fi has become too expensive."
SM: Can you explain the differences in designing a cost-no-object speaker and an entry-level speaker like the Pioneer? What are the different challenges? What are the different rewards? Do you have more fun designing a cost-no-object speaker or a very affordable speaker?
AJ: In truth, even a cost-no-object speaker has some cost objective, otherwise, as an engineer, one would never stop and never get the design to market! It's just that the cost objectives are different and so the design decisions are different.
In an affordable speaker, every cent spent has to be evaluated in terms of its contribution to sound quality. In particular one is looking at what decisions can be made that have no cost implication. A good example of this would be cone and surround profile on the bass cone. Time spent in evaluating this aspect of the design has great rewards, because it has influence on the requirements for the crossover network, integration to the tweeter and overall smoothness of the response, both on- and off-axis.
It is surprising what kind of decisions have an influence over how good the design will sound, because of where one can free up cost to put towards performance. Although not a secret in the industry, one interesting aspect is the choice of cabinet/packaging/carton size: Shaving a few millimeters off of the size makes a difference to how many will fit in the shipping container. An exact fit will reduce wasted space and reduce shipping cost. Maybe only a few cents per speaker, but this can then be spent on performance by adding perhaps more absorption, or a better spec capacitor in the crossover, etc.
In this video, Andrew Jones describes some of the technology behind Pioneer's SP-BS22-LR loudspeaker.
At the other end of the scale, the challenge is in looking to see what hasn't been tried yet, what is waiting to be discovered, understood and then exploited. It is more research- than development-oriented, with longer time scales to allow for explorations that might not work out, at least for now. The reward is just as great, but shared by fewer.
"Engineering is a game of challenging the rules while at the same time being bound by them."
SM: How did you first become interested in music? In hi-fi? In speaker design?
AJ: My interest in music came from the gift of a Dansette record player: Changer, tube amplifier, and speaker—all in one portable cabinet. With this, came a stack of 45rpm records, mainly from the '50s and early '60s. Next was listening to Top of the Pops on BBC television, and Radio Caroline and Radio One.
Hi-fi came from my interest in electronics, first by way of my twin brother's interest. We both started designing electronic circuits, then became interested in hi-fi, then, for some reason I've never understood, I switched my interest to speakers and started to cut wood and try building stuff. I never seemed interested in doing things the easy way, so a lot of my projects were, let's just say, experiments that never got finished! I'm sure some of my colleagues will say that I have not progressed much since those days, which is why I generally need a good project manager behind me!
SM: You studied physics and acoustics while in university. Were you building speakers at the time? Can you tell me about the very first speaker you designed? How has your design philosophy changed over the years?
AJ: I had built speakers while at school, or, I should say, I started lots of projects. One was a transmission-line speaker: I got as far as cutting all the wood! The second was an attempt to mimic the Rogers cylindrical speaker. I tried rolling my own aluminum sheet into a cylinder. Needless to say, that didn't get very far. The first completed speaker was for my final year project at university, a stepped baffle "linear" phase active speaker, with active filter circuits designed by my brother. I can't say I had a design philosophy at that early stage, other than the desire to always attempt to push the boundaries of design. Of course, my real learning experience was at KEF, which, at the time, was the best speaker university of all.
SM: If you had no limitations and could design any loudspeaker you wanted, what would it be? In other words, can you describe your "dream" speaker?
AJ: I always had a love of electrostatics, and have, and still own, many different examples. My dream is to combine the best qualities of electrostatics but without their dynamic and directivity limitations.

SM: In broad strokes, can you describe the experience and process of designing a speaker like the SP-BS22-LR? How much of the process is theory? How much is application? How much is measuring? How much is listening?
AJ: With such a low cost speaker, the work is all in the optimization of the components to take out cost with the least compromise in sound. Which parts of the speaker have the greatest contribution to the sound? Which parts can be optimized with no impact on cost? There is a lot of measurement involved to speed the process, but in the end it comes down to listening. However, where I think many low cost speakers fall down is in the expectation level of what can be produced. I have very high expectations because of my involvement with TAD. That is the sound I have in mind when I am tuning the speaker and I don't settle until I can at least have some resemblance.
SM: You've gained a great reputation for outstanding demos at hi-fi shows, providing detailed guidance and interesting music that highlights a system's strengths. When designing a speaker, what music do you listen to?
Andrew Jones, demming TAD's Reference system at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show—one of the most complete, entertaining, and impressive demonstrations I've ever experienced.
AJ: In the design process, I firstly use music I am intimately familiar with, much of it music that I obtain from studios and engineers where I have either listened in when the recordings have been made, or am able to get the opinion of the recording engineers as to the capability of the speaker. This is generally the same music that I use at shows. Additionally, it is always music that I personally find emotionally involving. I rarely play music that is simply a "demo" piece. Even with the dynamically spectacular type pieces, they are still ones that I enjoy listening to. This way I know that if a prototype doesn't give me that emotional connection, then it isn't yet tuned correctly.
SM: What do you listen for in a speaker? In your opinion, what makes a good speaker?
SM: The SP-BS22-LR uses a sophisticated, six-element crossover network, comprising a single film capacitor and air-core inductor in the tweeter feed, and a laminated steel-core inductor and electrolytic capacitor in the woofer feed. How are you able to use such sophisticated design while maintaining such an affordable price?
AJ: This is where buying power comes in. When designing and costing any speaker, clearly manufacturing quantities significantly affect parts cost. With the original design, Best Buy had requested us to design an entry-level speaker, based on their knowledge of what I had done with TAD and the EX speakers. With such a large retailer, we had a very clear idea of potential sales quantities and projections month by month. This allowed for very strong negotiations on price. In fact, when I started the design of the prototype, I ignored general price consideration and built something that I wanted to try and build, then started looking at costings and must admit that I was surprised at just what I could incorporate. Since then, the designs have proven to be such big sellers that, when it came time to develop the MKII version, the costing process was much more straightforward.
SM: I've been told by other loudspeaker manufacturers that the time for affordable bookshelf speakers has expired, that people shopping in this price range are more interested in purchasing powered desktop speakers.
AJ: Well, judging from sales of these speakers, that's clearly not the case! Perhaps young people getting into the hobby are more likely to gravitate towards powered speakers to plug into their laptops, as that is their preferred access point for music, but the counter to that is the current resurgence of vinyl with those same young buyers.
SM: Who is the target customer for the SP-BS22-LR?
AJ: My target was all those people that we normally cannot access, those who don't walk into a hi-fi store. I wanted them to be surprised at what they had bought rather than merely meet their expectations. I want people to listen and think, "Wow, I wasn't expecting that, listen to how much better my music sounds." I also wanted an entry-level speaker that all of us already interested in hi-fi could honestly recommend to all their friends that ask for a recommendation, and that are not at all interested in paying even the amount that we would normally consider the starting point for entry level hi-fi.
SM: I think it's absolutely outstanding that you've provided such a high-quality product at such an affordable price. Do you think it's important that the high-end audio industry provides such affordable products?
AJ: I think it's crucial to provide such products. You only have to look at the comments when expensive hi-fi is mentioned on the blogs. I would say that such articles receive almost universal condemnation and derision in the comments sections. We need that to change, and the only way is to provide product at low enough entry price that we attract new blood onto the upgrade path, so that they begin to understand that listening to hi-fi can be intensely rewarding and that the expensive product does ultimately justify itself in the performance it provides.
It's also important that the very high end companies find some way to provide this, to show that we care about encouraging new listeners and that we are not just an elitist club.
"It's also important that the very high end companies find some way to provide this, to show that we care about encouraging new listeners and that we are not just an elitist club."
SM: Do you think it's important for the high-end audio industry to attract younger customers? What steps, other than offering affordable products, need to be taken in order to do so?
AJ: Yes. We need to recognize how and when younger customers listen, and tailor product to their needs while also satisfying our wish to show them a better way to listen. It's a difficult balancing act, but one that needs to be accomplished.
SM: Agreed! Thanks very much, Andrew. It's been a pleasure.
Thank you both for an enlightening and encouraging piece.
While I've always enjoyed Andrew's "big boys", I am particularly encouraged by the appearance of his superb entry-level speakers, as far too many inexpensive speakers fail to provide a "holy CRAP!" moment for the newbies/ potential buyers. Why bother with a home stereo if it doesn't provide a huge improvement over what the listener is used to?
These little guys do. Bravo, Andrew, for the designs, and bravo Stephen, for another excellent piece.
...but can you please not finish the cabinets in simulated wood grain? matte black or gloss white would be much more fitting of a modern speaker like this.
Glad to read an interview with one of the truly good guys in the hobby and industry. I wish there were more of them. It's rare to read anything like the below quote from anybody in the industry.
"You only have to look at the comments when expensive hi-fi is mentioned on the blogs. I would say that such articles receive almost universal condemnation and derision in the comments sections."
This is noteworthy, as most of the time from what I've observed, Stereophile writers will side with the industry on such issues, even though they claim, disingenuously IMO, that they exist to serve the reader. I don't see a problem with serving the industry if one is honest about what they're doing (as Srajan Ebaen is).
I think you might be misinterpreting Andrew Jones's statement.
There are few, if any, Stereophile writers who would disagree with Jones's statement. Jones is not saying that high-priced products deserve the condemnation they receive in the comments sections to blogs; he's merely acknowledging that they receive it. He attributes this to a lack of awareness and a lack of education, and goes on to say that "the expensive product does ultimately justify itself in the performance it provides."
"We need that to change, and the only way is to provide product at low enough entry price that we attract new blood onto the upgrade path, so that they begin to understand that listening to hi-fi can be intensely rewarding and that the expensive product does ultimately justify itself in the performance it provides."
What you are claiming is that he attributes the negative blog comments to a lack of education. But that's not what he's saying at all. What he is is saying is that people not currently interested in hi-fi ("new blood") can be made to appreciate that "the expensive product does ultimately justify itself in the performance it provides." (the "education" to which you refer). But the negative comments aren't being made by those not currently interested in hi-fi. They are being made by Stereophile readers who are interested in hi-fi. Otherwise, they wouldn't be reading the Stereophile web site (or the mag) at all.
I think the characterization of much of the industry as "black hats" as opposed to "good guys" is both simplistic and ill-informed. This is not meant in any way to diminish Andrew, whom you refer to as a "good guy"; he is indeed a good guy, and I like and greatly respect him.
As someone who has been in and out of the industry for 40 years, I assure you that there are easier ways to make a living than in the audio industry. Most companies are small and perpetually under-capitalized, and compared to "sexier" industries, wages are low.
The vast majority of the people I know in the biz do it simply because they truly love it, and are aware that their fortunes would be better elsewhere. I know of no field besides audio in which professionals trying to do the best they can are routinely villified, accused of conspiratorial behavior or corruption, or lambasted over the fact that yes, many of us do know one another, and work together to help our industry survive and grow.
A friend of mine who owns and runs a private recording studio once noted how bizarre it is that the artists (you may say all types of musicians and voice talent) know a great deal of information about cars, their models, the options available, what features are new, what features compete with other manufacturers, even where each model's assembly takes place; they socialize on breaks between recording sessions about horsepower, fuel consumption, torque, suspension system solutions, internal motor displacement, oil types, and adjustments to the spark timing and even brand of spark plug. They know the most forward-reaching technologies and seem to follow every twist and turn the auto industry makes.
At the same time, these same people are pretty much oblivious to most any trend and performance issues in the field of audio gear, be it studio gear or private music playback gear. Their knowledge seems to be confined to what your average non-musically oriented person would know (you know, the one or two big advertised names). This is strange because music playback is their direct livelihood. Their talent reaches people through this direct medium and is directly related to what they can put on the kitchen table. But they remain oblivious to fundamental differences such as cardioid vs. omni, they don't know twisted pair from quad star, nor phase from out of phase.
So it is strange that they should know so much indepth information about cars and so little information about something much more closely related to their paycheck.
The moral of the story is perhaps twofold: (1) those who do in fact know audio stuff do so mostly out of passion, not out of a calculated sense of business opportunity, and (2) most musicians are actually more passionate about that which has been more strongly marketed to them.
I once visited a General Motors car production factory in Frankfurt, Germany. There, they completed production of a car once every 1.5 minutes. I would not be surprised if that would be the average frequency in which above mentioned musicians encountered advertisements for the cars they know and seem to care so much about.
The passion involved in making high performance audio gear should be likened to that in making hand made cars. If you hand somebody a wrench and tell them "build me a car, please" they will most naturally expect a very high price for their toil and time and expenditures.
Take that same person by the hand to a Toyota dealership and tell them they must make the car to be priced the same as these cars here, they will say you are a lunatic.
This is what we as an industry and also as consumers need to make self evident. Obviously, for some reason, with cars, everybody understands and agrees to the rules. In audio, we need the same understanding, and as Bill Leebens says above, for some reason, this understanding is absent. What are the reasons?
for playback & mixing their masters.
I have my own likes & dislikes.
as we love the instruments.
over mission control & the toys it uses.
WE DISAGREE WITH YOUR ANOLOGY.
Even if it is 4 years later.
Let me first mention my background. A little over 35 years ago I decided I'd study electrical engineering with the goal of designing high-performance audio equipment. So I studied acoustics, electroacoustics and amplifier design. But along the way, I found other topics that were more interesting to me technically, so I ended up not pursuing a career in the audio industry.
Although I didn't pursue that path, I've kept up with the latest developments in audio, and the newer methods of design and analysis that we didn't have access to back then, especially related to computer-aided design and analysis. Given this background, it's possible to technically evaluate the claims and basic competence of some of the people and companies in the industry, partly by evaluating "white papers" published on their web sites and partly through direct discussion with them in online forums.
In Andrew's case, it's immediately obvious that he knows his stuff really well - no question. But other experiences I've had with a significant number of members of the industry are much less positive. High-end audio purports to offer higher performance than more pedestrian equipment, and yet many who call themselves amplifier designers are technicians with no engineering-level knowledge at all. Some of them post in the forums, touting their wares. Upon asking them a non-trivial question about amplifier design, I've found that many of them have no clue what they're talking about. They do talk a good story though, and most readers don't know the difference. Some of them have web sites with "white papers" that are so absurd as to invite ridicule from a junior-level EE student. Far from being isolated cases, this pattern is widespread. This is not an ill-informed or simplistic view. It comes from years of experience and the requisite educational background. It's perfectly understandable that someone in, say, sales is not going to reach that conclusion, because by default they will trust what's been told to them by suppliers and other industry members. Indeed, they have every right to expect that what they're told has some basis in reality. Unfortunately, that's far too often not the case.
But basic engineering competence in some quarters isn't the only problem. There's also a problem with false claims. I'll give a specific example here, the fraudulent claim of 136 dB SPL output at 20 Hz from the $36,000 Magico QSub-18 subwoofer. Depending on what cone surface area is assumed (which varies from one driver model to another for a given nominal diameter), it takes between 11 and 15 18" drivers to get the required volume displacement to reach 136 dB SPL at 20 Hz. This is basic Physics that's been known since the 1950s or maybe even before.
I could go on and on about this, but I'll stop here.
What you decry as faulty physics theory, you still have not verified in listening nor measurements.
How was it measured? Where was it measured?
You simply don't know, but cite examples as such.

The 1960's in America is one of the most popular places to look for nostalgia. People love remembering the crazy hair and fashions. They love the pop music that made the decade shine. But the 60s were also a time of struggle. The Cold War was still going strong and racial injustice was prevalent in society. Hairspray, based on the film of the same name by John Waters, tells the story of Tracy Turnblad, an overweight Baltimore teen who dreams of dancing on television. In Tracy's journey to be accepted for being herself she discovers that there are others who also long for the freedom to be themselves. If this all sounds too serious, rest assured that it isn't. It's a story told with lovely compassion, but it's still a big, fun musical. The infectious music by March Shaiman with its humorous lyrics by Scott Wittman and Shaiman, paint a happy portrait of being a marginalized Baltimore teen in the decade of change. Signature Theatre's production is not without flaws but does deliver a musical that is lively and very enjoyable.
Hairspray has a solid cast with several standouts and a few problems. Carolyn Cole plays the show's protagonist Tracy Turnblad. Cole is a great dancer and handles her performance with a lovely mix of befuddled earnestness and vivacity that helps the audience instantly bond with Tracy. However, some of her vocals slide into modern pop star territory with some over-riffing and vibrato that is distracting. Patrick Thomas Cragin as Link Larkin gives a fine performance and he especially shines when paired with Cole for "It Takes Two." Erin Driscoll was a delightfully self-involved Amber von Tussle, Tracy's rival. Sherri L. Edelen was a perfect stage mother and manipulator as Amber's mother Velma. Noya Y. Payton is a feisty Motormouth Maybelle and literally brings the crowd to their feet with her stunning rendition of "I Know Where I've Been." Lauren Williams turns in a great performance as Tracy's best friend Penny. Williams plays Penny's budding personality with an adorable blend of gawkiness and hope. Stephen Gregory Smith's turn as Corny Collins, host of one of Baltimore's teen dance shows is very entertaining. The show's biggest struggle from an acting perspective was that of Tracy's parents. Harry A. Winter is competent as father Wilbur, but lacks the chemistry with Edna that makes their relationship so charming. Robert Aubry Davis's performance as Edna is disappointing. Davis seemed to not commit strongly to a dialect as it faded in and out in the production. His portrayal also seemed to be muddy and lethargic in both his physical choices and emotional range.
The set was truly stunning with its city touches of fire escapes, signs and brickwork. It was a versatile set that was well used to suggest the many locations needed for the script. The lighting was very effectively used helping the audience to find the focus.
Costumes and hair are a big part of this show. The costumes ranged from lovely and period to very unattractive. Tracy and Penny were darling and dorky in their signature outfits. Edna's early costumes were very well done and showed her character's attempts at hiding out at home in loungewear, but the costumes that she wore after her transformation still seemed very dowdy. Amber and Velma had some wonderful outfits that were chic and fabulous, however Amber's dress for the finale was really unflattering. It also didn't seem to fit the importance of the occasion. Some of the female council member costumes also seemed to be a bit matronly at times, not what you would expect for teenage dancers on a rock n' roll show. The men's costumes were fine. Corny had some exceptionally well-done outfits that could have made Wink Martindale jealous, especially the gold jacket. In a show like Hairspray, it's expected that the show would have big fabulous hair. Unfortunately, that isn't always the case. Amber, Velma, Motormouth Maybelle and the Dynamites all had great hair. The Corny Collins dancers again seemed somewhat matronly and while Velma wouldn't let them outshine Amber shouldn't they be trendy? Tracy's hairstyles were fine but somewhat subdued, especially for a girl who gets in trouble for her hair. Edna suffers the most in the hair department. Her early styles seem very appropriate while her style after the makeover is very sloppy and uneven.
The choreography of the show is truly exuberant and a joy to watch. "Good Morning Baltimore," "Run and Tell That" and "You Can't Stop the Beat" are especially strong in their choreography and execution. The music is wonderfully played and engaging. It's always a treat to hear a show with great live music.
Eric Schaeffer's direction of the piece with feels greatly focused. Too often, shows with a lot of technical and musical elements feel scattered and cluttered. Even though this show deals with a lot of set pieces moving people, it's always easy to follow where the cast is taking the audience next. Because everything is so neatly focused, it allows the audience to fully absorb the fun that the cast has with this show. The story of Hairspray resonates with a contemporary audience because of the hopeful message of acceptance. This production, while not perfect, is certainly a celebration of talent and love.

Human Rights to Geneva – Food Security to Rome?
After a minor diversion last week to look at Local Public Policies for Food Sovereignty, in this post, Carolin Anthes brings us back to the CFS and to the role of human rights therein, but also makes important links to the UN system more broadly.
During the plenary discussion at the 43rd CFS, the Russian delegate stated that human rights "should be dealt with by the specialized bodies of the UN system". In other words: Human rights should be a matter dealt with in Geneva, not in Rome. A bold statement that is symptomatic for the contested status of human rights and the right to food approach at CFS and the Rome-based UN food agencies. The current Special Rapporteur on the right to food, Hilal Elver, also stressed at a CFS side event that the human rights approach was very much in danger these days and urged everyone "to pay more attention".
In this post I invite you to pay attention to two interrelated, and in my view highly problematic, developments which contribute to and are at the same time an expression of the contestation of a human rights-based approach to food security and hunger reduction: 1) "forum shopping" by member states, and 2) FAO's reluctance to mainstream human rights in its operations.
Russia is not alone, various member states engage in a strategic practice of "forum shopping" across different UN localities, which runs opposite to the cross-cutting integration of human rights in the UN system and especially in its development work (referred to as human rights mainstreaming). Enabled by the deeply fragmented setup of the UN system, these states are trying to refer an issue to another UN agency or forum as witnessed during the CFS plenary with the Russian statement. It negated per se that human rights have a place in Rome, thus fuelling the contestation of the right to food in Rome-based agencies.
But such practice is not at all limited to the CFS or Rome-based agencies. A multi-sited focus (which I try to embrace in my current academic research) shows clearly that Geneva – the human rights 'hub' of the UN system – and its processes have also been victim of member states' attempts to engage in "forum shopping", just the other way around.
During the first two sessions of the Human Rights Council's working group on a new peasant rights declaration, the United States and the European Union, for example, repeated like a mantra that the Geneva human rights fora were not appropriate for discussing the issues of peasants, seeds and land, which were matters of Rome.
We witnessed a clear attempt to obstruct the further evolution of the human rights agenda towards including (collective) human rights to land, seeds etc. for particularly marginalized populations, simply by referring the substantive issue to "non-human rights" UN agencies in Rome. In the light of the established universality, indivisibility, interdependence and interrelatedness of all human rights and the human rights mainstreaming initiative, these tendencies of "forum shopping" are highly problematic and symptomatic for the volatile status of human rights, and in particular economic, social and cultural as well as collective rights.
States, their practices and attitudes are important when we aim at understanding why human rights and the right to food approach are (still) being challenged at the CFS and in the Rome-based food agencies. But they are not the only (f)actors that matter. It is important to take into account and "zoom in" the connected institutional environment, the actual inner workings of the UN food agencies that are expected to advocate for and implement a right to food approach – in particular the FAO, the institutional home of the CFS.
How do organizational structures and cultures shape FAO's buy-in to a right to food approach? How strong indeed is the backing within the FAO secretariat, including senior management, and how far has the mainstreaming of human rights in the organization actually advanced by now (beyond rhetoric)? This is up for debate. There are signs that FAO largely sees itself as a "technical" agency, which is still perceived as being irreconcilable with "political" human rights work. In this context, the right to food approach often has a difficult standing and is being side-lined within the FAO bureaucracy.
The momentum spurred by the adoption of the Right to Food Guidelines in 2004 has undeniably slowed down in recent years. In the CFS Plenary, FAO demonstrated impressively its focus and know-how on the "indicators & statistics" side of food security governance work and announced plans for investments in a new Office of Chief Statistician. At the same time, the Right to Food Team, the entity that is actually entrusted with human rights mainstreaming and the strengthening of the right to food portfolio within the organization and beyond, suffers from a serious resource and priority shortage. FAO could indeed do more to promote a right to food approach and it should be noted that its (in-)actions and prioritization also have serious repercussions on the state of human rights at the CFS and beyond. It would be short-sighted to leave "human rights work" to Geneva-based mechanisms. The integration of a strong right to food approach may change how business is done and help to make FAO's interventions towards a world without hunger more sustainable.
Human rights belong to Rome as much as food security matters to Geneva.
Carolin Anthes is Research Associate and PhD Candidate at the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF), Germany. She conducts research on human rights mainstreaming in the UN system with a focus on Rome-based UN agencies and the inter-agency link to Geneva. Prior to joining PRIF she worked as Right to Food Consultant in FAO headquarters in Rome.
This week we continue with the cluster CFS, a rights-oriented body? In this post Nadia Lambek and Jessica Duncan reflect on potential implications for the CFS policy interventions revolve around the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and related goals, and not explicitly around rights.
This year we noted with interest that many interventions at the CFS (from governments, but also the private sector) were made with reference to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and in particular SDG 2. While it is hard for us to assess the relevance of this for CFS policy outcomes as these were negotiated before the main meeting, it is clear that links to the SDGs are being used to legitimise interventions within the CFS and to ground (at least publically) policy recommendations.
What is noteworthy about this development is that SDGs are being referenced to not only ground interventions and policy recommendations, but also to highlight the importance of combating hunger. In many respects, this points to a degree of coherence and commitment within this international space. However, it also raises questions about what it means when interventions are linked to goals and not rights.
We are interested in understanding the potential ramifications of this trend and how might it impact CFS policy making. It is not clear yet – but we offer some initial reflections here. We begin by comparing and contrasting the SDGs and the right to food as framing and policy tools. We then examine two implications of the trend that give us cause for concern.
While the SDGs and the right to food both seek to end hunger, they have different purposes. To understand these, it is important to first distinguish between rights and goals.
A goal is a desired aim or ambition. The SDGs are said to represent a "universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity". The SDGs are interconnected and provide guidelines and targets for all countries to adopt. SDG 2 aims to "End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture" by 2030. The SDGs are to be implemented through the "Global Partnership for Sustainable Development", bringing together Governments, the private sector, civil society, the United Nations system and other actors and mobilizing all available resources (see paragraph 39).
Human rights are inalienable rights that we have by virtue of being equal and having dignity. The right to food is "is realized when every man, woman and child,alone or in community with others, have physical and economic access at all times to adequate food or means for its procurement." Adequate food is not about a "minimum package of calories, proteins and other specific nutrients", rather it is determined with reference to the "prevailing social, economic, cultural, climatic [and] ecological" of the concerned population. The right to food is recognized throughout international law, most notably in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 25) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) (Article 11). It places a series of obligations on states to respect, protect and fulfil the right to food.
A rights-based approach represents a longer-term and structural approach to addressing food insecurity and malnutrition that encourages states to pass legislation and national policies, to ensure recourse mechanisms are available to hold the state accountable, and to progressively realize the right to food (which ensures a continual and growing commitment to addressing the realization of the right to food).
This week we inaugurate the thematic cluster CFS, a rights-oriented body? Nadia Lambek's provocative entry discusses universality – a key principle of international human-rights body and other global processes, such as 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The North-South divide found at CFS representation carriers important implications for the effectiveness and legitimacy of the Committee, she argues.
At the opening session of the 43rd CFS, in a room crowded with representatives of ministries of agriculture, food and livestock, the United States representative to the CFS made her introduction. The head of the US delegate was not from the US Department of Agriculture or from the Food and Drug Administration. She was the Director of the Peace Corps – a volunteer program run by the United States government, which sends volunteers (mostly recent university graduates) to the Global South to live and work in communities.
This made a stark impression on me. Why was the head of the US delegation from the Peace Corps? In fact, not one of the US's 23 person official delegation to the CFS had a mandate concerning domestic issues within the US. Certainly the US is no stranger to food insecurity within its own borders. According to the US Department of Agriculture, 12.7 percent of American households were food insecure at some point during 2015. Yet it didn't bring any delegate knowledgeable about domestic food insecurity or with any mandate to address it.
The US is not alone in this respect. Looking at the official delegate list of people attending the CFS, one thing is clear: countries in the Global South send representatives from their ministries of agriculture, fisheries, livestock or food, while countries from the Global North tend to send representatives from foreign affairs or international development agencies.
This blog was originally posted here on the Event Blog of the Committee on World Food Security. It was written by Nadia Lambek and Jessica Duncan.
When the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) reformed in 2009 it identified the promotion of the right to food as one of its goals. This was an important development, as recognizing human rights is fundamental to achieving food security.
Despite this development, however, the issue of human rights is still contentious within the CFS. Participants continue to clash over whether to include human rights in the CFS's outputs and on whether or not to adopt a rights-based perspective in making policy recommendations.
Observers attending the first plenary session of the CFS might have been surprised to see that very few governments chose to mention human rights and the right to food in their opening addresses. Indeed, these were only mentioned a handful of times and only by a few players, such as the Civil Society Mechanism, the Chair and a few countries, including Venezuela, Brazil and Norway.
But what do we mean by the right to food? What are the implications of a rights-based approach to food policy? And why is it so contentious?
The right to food is enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (art. 25), the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (art. 11) and a myriad of other international agreements. The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights identifies the main principles of the right to food in General Comment No. 12.
What are the implications for food policy?
The right to food has many implications for food policy.
First, the right to food requires that states that take account of the most marginalized and vulnerable in society when adopting policy.
Fulfill the right to food (the obligation to both proactively engage in activities to strengthen access to food and to provide food when an individual or group is unable to access adequate food alone).
These obligations should be adopted into law, but they should also guide and underscore all food policy. Individuals and groups should be able to hold states accountable when they fail to meet these obligations.
Third, the right to food requires that states "take steps to achieve progressively the full realization of the right to adequate food". States are obliged to take all necessary steps to the maximum of their available resources to ensuring the right to food. Food policies are tools states can use to progressively realize this right.
So why is the right to food contentious?
The right to food is contentious because it requires states to take a number of steps that will fundamentally transform how they currently address food security, and food policy more broadly. States are also concerned they will be held accountable for failing to meet these obligations. For these reasons, states resist including the right to food in the CFS outputs.
Want to know more about the right to food?
In 2004, the CFS negotiated and unanimously adopted the Voluntary Guidelines to Support the Progressive Realization of the Right to Adequate Food in the Context of National Food Security. This document provides guidance to countries seeking to adopt the right to food domestically.
A new report was just released by the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES): From uniformity to diversity: A paradigm shift from industrial agriculture to diversified agroecological systems.
What is required is a fundamentally different model of agriculture based on diversifying farms and farming landscapes, replacing chemical inputs, optimizing biodiversity and stimulating interactions between different species, as part of holistic strategies to build long-term fertility, healthy agro-ecosystems and secure livelihoods, i.e. 'diversified agroecological systems'.
Political incentives must be shifted in order for these alternatives to emerge beyond the margins. A series of modest steps can collectively shift the centre of gravity in food systems.

Earlier this week White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed that West would be having lunch with Trump on Thursday and meeting with his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, where they will discuss prison reform and gang violence among other topics, Us Weekly reported.
The meeting will not be West's first with the president, as the two came face-to-face in a much-publicized meeting in Trump Tower in 2016 during the presidential transition.
Kardashian herself has visited the White House twice this year and said she would try to offer West some advice ahead of his meeting.
Kanye West first revealed the news last month to crowds gathered at an event with Chance the Rapper.
"I gotta let y'all know that I'm moving back to Chicago and I'm never leaving again," West told audiences, according to TMZ.
