Upcoming Nintendo DS role-playing game Etrian Odyssey III: Visitor From Star Ocean from developer Atlus has been delayed in Japan. The game was originally slated for a March 4 release.
Joining the typical dungeon crawling of the previous Etrian Odyssey games, the third installment will also feature ocean exploring.
Atlus attributed the delay to "various circumstances" and apologized for any trouble this delay has caused. The new release date for Japan is April 1. Yes, April Fools Day.

The Soil Food Web | Blue Ribbon Landscape & Maintenance Inc.
That's because your landscape, turf, and soil are actually a complex ecosystem: a series of nutrient and energy pathways created by numerous cyclical predator-prey and symbiotic relationships.
Depicted below, all of these interactive food chains create a food web within the soil that is critical in maintaining a well-balanced and healthy landscape.
When should I fertilize and aerate?
What is causing yellow spots in my grass?
What type of grass seed should I use in shaded areas?
Failure to fully understand the soil-food-web sometimes causes people to fix symptoms rather than causes, which means problems just resurface later on.
Knowing what's going on in the soil also allows Blue Ribbon to apply an Integrated Pest Management approach, that combines the benefits of chemical, mechanical, and biological solutions to achieving and maintaining your healthy, well-balanced landscape.
At Blue Ribbon, our experienced and licensed Arborists and Landscape Technicians (view licenses) understand the interactions between the plant and animal species living on and under the soil. We help to educate our customers on the issues affecting their lawns and landscapes, and make sure proactive and reactive measures are taken to maintain the important balance within the soil-food-web.

The recent publication of DSM-5, introduces as novelty to accept the comorbidity between the Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
This article reviews previous researches that have study this comorbidity. A total of 40 investigations were reviewed, establishing 7 different themes. The results of this review showed that the presence of ADHD in ASD increased the severity of autistic symptoms and that its comorbidity was associated with higher rates of disruptive behaviors, parental stress, poorer quality of life and poor social skills.

HomeUncategorizedTech Tuesday: Looking for new earphones?
Tech Tuesday: Looking for new earphones?
Well here I am, writing my first article for Manipalblog.
Well, this is the first time that I have ever stayed in a hostel and when I came here, I understood that one of the most important things for anybody staying in a hostel would be owning a decent pair of earphones/headphones/IEM's (In-ear monitors). As I have seen, the general trend here is to go to Campus store/Manipal Store/Music House and buy any one of the offerings that they keep, without any regard about the quality of sound they produce, their durability or whether they could actually harm your ears.
So keeping a modest budget of Rs. 700 in mind, I would suggest a few decent options which one should invest into so that their money goes into something which would at least last them a semester.
The very first pair of IEMs that come to my mind are the JVC Marshmallows, though they are officially available in India in retail packaging, but let me talk about the OEM packing ships with only 2 types of tips. There are many sellers who have imported them and provide them with a 3 month replacement warranty(considering there is no mechanical damage). . You can ebay them and anything below Rs. 650 would be a fair price. I haven't personally tested them but from what I read and hear about them, they are perfect for long hours of usage, are durable and a modders delight. They come in a variety of colours be it Pink(Do I see a smile on the faces of our lady readers?), Black or White.
Warning : The retail package is expensive and is not worth it. If you plan to spend that much you are better off buying something better.
Next up would be the SoundMagic PL-11. These are officially imported into India they come with a complete retail package, 1 year of warranty. You might not have heard about this brand but they are pretty big these days in terms of their products and our specific about their quality control. The bass on these ones are said to be slightly boomier, the price would not differ much from the JVC's. You can look them up on ebay too. Since, they are shipped with a retail box they carry a few goodies like a carry case along with the standard tips SML(Small, Medium and Large). I recently saw them here in Manipal for Rs. 975.
Another trusted pair of IEM's have been the Creative EP630. They have been in a market for quite some time and are rumoured to be made by the same OEM as that of the Sennheiser CX300(Manipal price for the CX300 is above 2.5k) which approximately cost double. These also come along with a carry case and their standard tips. You have 2 choices in terms of colour White or Black. Being, Creative you do get the edge of an Indian brand and can claim warranty anywhere in India if there is a Creative service centre, instead of having to send them back to your seller.
Well that's that, the choice is yours unless you are in an absolute hurry to buy something you should choose one of these. The choices in the Manipal shops are limited a few Phillips and Sennheisers, so take your pick. Atleast, Google the product you are buying for its reviews. The reviews to the products I have mentioned can easily be found on the web.
Also, be wary of fakes. Buy from those shops where you trust the dealer. If you are buying online over ebay choose Power Sellers and those with a good feedback.
I have recently seen an influx of SkullCandy earphones here, but I am yet to test any of them properly. Though a reputed brand you might want to search around a bit for the correct price and the quality it offers.
Please post your questions, doubts and comments.


Seamus Fogarty - The Curious Hand. Vinyl LP, CD. Bleep.
Seamus Fogarty's The Curious Hand does what the best folk music does. As narrator, Fogarty stands at the crossroad between artist and archivist, creator and curator, reinventing his form in order to make the old stories new again. A native of County Mayo, The Curious Hand tells of Fogarty's time in London, and the singer-songwriter does a fine job of counterpointing the town he now calls home with his place of birth. See how the new and old collide in the drum-machine-and-guitar stomp of 'Carlow Town', or how Fogarty tells of his arrival in the big city over a backdrop of violins and oboes on opener 'Short Ballad For A Long Man'.


APC by Schneider Electric UPS batteries come in various sizes, shapes and chemistries, and are subject to many regulations. Batteries are regulated at local, national and international levels. Because the rules that govern the use, transportation and disposal of batteries are complex, battery owners should know about the unique regulatory requirements that apply to their situation and location.
Understanding when a battery pack has reached the end of its useful life is important. APC power protection devices use sealed lead acid batteries, which have a service life of approximately 5 years. We recommend replacing your batteries at the end of that lifespan.
The Sealed Lead Acid batteries used in APC by Schneider Electric products are contained within sealed, non-spillable cartridges. Under normal use and handling, there is no contact with the internal components of the battery. However, misuse of the RBC product, such as overcharging or overheating, may result in a discharge of battery electrolyte.
Schedule battery replacement prior to the end of the battery's lifespan. We recommend replacement when batteries have reached 3 to 4 years of use.
Replace the batteries when the UPS gives the Replace Battery indication, regardless of age.
Replace the battery if the UPS has been out of service for longer than 12 months.
Replace the battery every 5 years, regardless of the whether Replace Battery is indicated, when the UPS is normally loaded to less than 10% of full load. The Replace Battery indicator function is less precise at that level and may not predict the battery's end of life.
Always package and ship batteries properly to avoid damage and the release of dangerous chemicals by following our safe packaging and shipping instructions.
Occasionally, a battery will release an odour, swell, crack, or lose a cap. Batteries in this condition are considered "damaged". Damaged batteries may release hazardous chemicals and require special disposal. Please contact customer service for assistance with damaged batteries.

The lung cancer survival rate is among the lowest of all types of cancers. It is undoubtedly a killer disease. Approximately one third of all deaths from cancer are caused by lung cancer.
In fact, this disease is the second main cause of death in the developed world, for both men and women.
As far as lung cancer survival rate goes, the average survival rate at the end of five years is just 15%. In contrast, the five year survival rate for prostate cancer is 98%, that for colon cancer is 62% and for breast cancer, 87%. This is a clear indication of the deadliness of lung cancer.
The tragic fact is that an estimated 87% of all cases of lung cancer are caused by smoking (including passive smoking, which involves breathing in second hand smoke).
After smoking, radon gas exposure is the next biggest factor leading to lung cancer, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. Radon is estimated to cause over 20,000 deaths every year from lung cancer.
Lung cancer is by far the single biggest cause of deaths from cancer. This is true across ethic groups - Caucasians, African-Americans, Asians and Hispanics.
In America, lung cancer kills more people every year than liver cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer, melanoma (skin cancer), colon cancer and prostate cancer combined.
Among different ethnicities, African-Americans have the highest death rate (and incidence). This is thought to be because of a relatively higher percentage of smokers among this group, driven by cultural factors.
To give some comparative lung cancer statistics, lung cancer deaths among men outnumber prostate cancer deaths by a factor of three. And among women, it outnumbers breast cancer deaths by a factor of two.
One of the reasons for the low lung cancer survival rate is the fact that the disease is usually diagnosed at a late stage, when it is already far advanced. Over half of all cases are diagnosed at stages 3B or 4 - and such instances have a five year survival rate of just 5%.
Former smokers account for about half of all new cases of this disease while existing smokers make up about 35%. People who have never smoked make up about 10% of all new cases. However, many among this group of people have probably been exposed to second hand smoke.
Smokers can bring down their chances of getting lung cancer if they give up smoking entirely.
Across the world, the country with the lowest incidence of lung cancer is Nigeria. And the country with the highest incidence is Great Britain.
In keeping with the low lung cancer survival rate, it is estimated that men who smoke are about 23 times more likely to get lung cancer and die of the disease when compared to non smokers. Even male former smokers are almost nine times more at risk.
Women who smoke have 13 times the chances of dying from this disease compared to non smoking women. Women who have given up smoking are five times as likely to die from lung cancer.
Given the very low lung cancer survival rate, the most sensible action one can take is to never start smoking. Or if you are a smoker, give up smoking at the earliest.

Q: AEM Query result is not in same order We have a JCR query which will get the result of pages based on jcr:title property. There is no issue in the query and it is working as expected. When we run the query in two different AEM versions(6.0 & 6.4) the order is not same but we see the exact result.  Both AEM versions don't have any custom index and sorting mechanism but the end result is not having any same order.
Has there any order logic implemented in AEM 6.4? What should we do in order to get the same order in AEM 6.0 and AEM 6.4? Can anyone have any idea about it?

A: Do you specify order in the query? Without exact specifics, it's hard to help.
You say "Both AEM versions don't have any custom index and sorting mechanism but the end result is not having any same order."   If you don't specify order in the query, then the order is really up to the underlying engine and you cannot expect the same results.  If you want an order, you should probably specify that as part of the query.
Different node types also could affect the query, as some node structures preserve order but others do not.
AEM 6.0 and 6.4 are based on different versions of Oak, so there may be some engine changes.

On November 8, Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger announced that Lucasfilm was developing a new live-action series centred around Rogue One's rebel spy, Cassian Andor.
Diego Luna will be reprising his role as the morally-questionable intelligence officer and the series will be set during the formative years of the Rebellion, serving as a prequel of sorts to the critically-acclaimed 2016 film. Marketed as a spy thriller, the as-yet untitled series will "explore tales filled with espionage and daring missions to restore hope to a galaxy in the grip of a ruthless Empire and, according to Luna himself, "this exciting new format will give us the chance to explore this character more deeply".
Naturally, as soon as fans heard the announcement, they started tweeting out their wishlists and, perhaps unsurprisingly, Ahsoka Tano was among the list of characters they wanted to see in the new series.
For many Clone Wars and Rebels fans, Ahsoka making an appearance in the new series – whether it's just a small cameo or a recurring role – seems like a no-brainer. Ahsoka was the original Fulcrum agent and aided Bail Organa in setting up an effective spy network for the fledgling Rebellion. For all we know, she could have been responsible for recruiting Cassian to the cause. And viewers who aren't already familiar with the character wouldn't even need to be aware of her entire backstory since large portions of it (the fact she was Anakin Skywalker's apprentice, for instance) would be irrelevant to the task at hand.
So unless the new series takes place during the year or so that she was missing, presumed dead, the tenacious Togruta could very well make her long-awaited live-action debut alongside her fellow Fulcrum.
There are, of course, various arguments against including her in the series, ranging from concerns that they would recast the character for a live-action performance to claims that it would be "unnecessary fan service". Others are worried that Ahsoka could potentially overshadow Cassian in his own series. An understandable concern, given that Star Wars Rebels fans began to show more interest in Ahsoka's fate in than in the fates of the various Ghost crew members, but there are ways of bringing her into the series without her stealing Cassian's thunder: a blurry hologram whose voice would only be recognisable to fans of the animated series, a flashback scene where we see her recruiting a younger Cassian, a short cameo where she debriefs her operative after a successful mission…
And, realistically speaking, this series seems like an ideal opportunity to bring a live-action Ahsoka to our screens and introduce the character to a wider audience, so let's see if Lucasfilm decides to rise to that particular challenge.
Even if Ahsoka doesn't make an appearance in the new series, we could see some other fan favourites returning to the small screen in the not-too-distant future, such as K-2SO, Hera Syndulla, Enfys Nest, Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, or perhaps even Maul, whose cameo in Solo: A Star Wars Story was an unexpected pleasure for fans of the prequels and animated series. The series could even see the live-action debut of characters that were created for the Star Wars novels and comics, such as Grand Admiral Rae Sloane, Doctor Aphra, or Evaan Verlaine. The possibilities are endless.
The as-yet untitled Cassian Andor series will go into production in 2019 and will premiere on Disney's new streaming service, Disney+.
So, what do you think? Will we be seeing the original Fulcrum in the new series? Which other characters (or locations) do you think deserve to make an appearance? Share your thoughts in the comments section below!

Cathode, anode, and electrolyte materials are the major parts of the lithium batteries, of which, cathode material plays an important role in lithium battery technology. Recently, LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2, which is composed of divalent Ni, tetravalent Mn, and trivalent Co, has received considerable attention due to the high capacity associated with the Ni2+/4+ and Co3+/4+ redox couples and its thermal and structural properties supported by tetravalent Mn, which are superior to those of conventional LiCoO2. The LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 (LNMCO) is the most widely used cathode materials in lithium-ion battery technology, due to its advantages of exhibiting high energy density, high discharge capacity, good reversibility during the oxidation and reduction process, etc. Thin film lithium-ion micro-batteries have gained so much importance as micro-power sources to the most of the portable electronic gadgets, implantable medical devices, smart cards, micro-robot, bio-chips, nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS), and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) etc., devices. In the present paper, lithium-rich layer-structured LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 (LNMCO) cathode thin films grown on the silicon (Si) (100) substrate by pulsed laser deposition technique at a substrate temperature of 500 oC under different oxygen partial pressures from 50 mTorr to 300 mTorr. Crystalline phase, structure and surface morphology of all the grown LNMCO thin films were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (RS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) respectively. DC & AC conductivities and electric modulus properties were studied by analyzing the measured impedance data. Fig.1. shows the AC conductivity versus frequency plots obtained at 298 K of LNMCO thin films grown under various oxygen partial pressures from 50 mTorr to 300 mTorr and substrate temperature kept at 500 oC. Fig.2. shows the imaginary part of the electric modulus (M") versus log(ω) plots obtained at 298 K of LNMCO thin films grown under various oxygen partial pressures from 50 mTorr to 300 mTorr and substrate temperature kept at 500 oC. From the analysis of the measured impedance data, the electrical conductivities of the LNMCO thin film samples grown at 298 K under different oxygen partial pressures 50 mTorr, 200 mTorr and 300 mTorr were respectively found to be 5.40 x 10-7 S cm-1, 3.28 x 10-6 S cm-1and 7.28 x 10-7 S cm-1. Detailed results will be presented and discussed.

While it has been a nightmare season for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year, the leggie, Yuzvendra Chahal still believes that the Virat Kohli's side could script a place in the playoffs of the tournament.
With 6 defeats in the six games so far, it has been the worst start to the season for any IPL side since Delhi Daredevils lost their first six matches of the 2013 season. For the third consecutive season, RCB looks out of the race for a playoff position in the IPL.

Community Choice Energy clears hurdle in San Diego
Sempra/SDG&E will still make money, just not as much
By Dave Rice, Nov. 16, 2017
San Diego on Thursday (November 16th) took another step in the lengthy process of establishing a community choice aggregation market for city residents and businesses, as the city's Sustainable Energy Advisory Board voted to send a feasibility study completed in July to the city council with a recommendation to move forward on its action points.
Under community choice, a city government or nonprofit takes over the role of buying and selling power, while the local utility maintains control and maintenance responsibility for transmission of that power, collecting a fee for doing so. Residents who wish to opt out of the program and continue buying power directly from the utility have an option to do so. Advocates say that such a choice puts downward pressure on electric costs while increasing the amount of renewable power on the grid at a rate faster than utilities are currently ramping up reliance on solar, wind, and geothermal generation.
Despite using an anticipated electricity cost that critics say is twice the cost of solar power currently available for purchase, the study still finds that rates would likely be cheaper in a community-choice scheme than under a continued SDG&E monopoly. The utility, which has already asked for an 11 percent rate hike in 2019, has long fought against consumer choice, arguing competition would be unfair, given that consumers already have the option of purchasing private solar systems or buying green energy direct from SDG&E. The company also expects to reap guaranteed returns from investments made in infrastructure, such as controversial new gas-fired power plants.
"Of course everyone wants what's fair," said Joyce Lane, an environmental activist with San Diego 350 and one of 23 speakers who signed up to address the advisory board on Thursday. "But for Sempra and SDG&E, unfortunately, what's fair and equitable is that they keep their monopoly and the highest rates in the continental U.S. in order to protect their profits and line the pockets of their executives.
"For our alliance, what's equitable is to restore power and profits to the community. Because we're fundamentally fighting for different people, for a different purpose, a claim of interest in equity is misleading at best."
Community choice is still far from a done deal in San Diego (Solana Beach is much closer). The study recommended for approval by the city council has four recommendations that will move the process forward: developing a business plan and engaging with the California Public Utilities Commission and SDG&E to address power-procurement issues, join the California Community Choice Association (a group that lobbies for community-choice providers at the state-government level), establish a staff of industry veterans to oversee the program's creation, and explore development opportunities that impact local job creation such as partnering with local clean-tech firms.
"The next step is to move forward with a business plan. It's not the same as committing to the program," says Mikey Knab, a restaurateur who manages eateries in San Diego and Portland, Oregon and has his own in Chula Vista. "It's a matter of gathering information, forecasting, considering costs and benefits. For me it's an excellent step forward, as it will allow city officials and policy-makers to consider the viability, and this third-party report proves that it's certainly viable."
Knab, who also advocates for community choice through the Business for Good San Diego organization, believes beyond the benefit for consumers, lower energy costs for businesses would free up capital that could otherwise be reinvested in the local economy.
"At my restaurant in Portland, electricity cost is about 1.5 percent of sales – that's pretty common across the country. All of my other costs up there are about the same as here in San Diego, but here my utility costs are about 3 percent, literally double."
A vote to recommend approval of the study and its suggestions fell two shy of unanimous approval – advisory boardmember and San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce public policy vice president Sean Karafin expressed concern, recommending the city join the statewide advocacy group that has pushed for lower cash payouts to utilities losing customers to community choice. An SDG&E rep abstained.
"By lobbying for an exit fee that's beneficial to those that are leaving [SDG&E], inherently that will come at the cost of ratepayers that are not leaving," Karafin said before casting the lone dissenting vote. "I don't think it's appropriate that we lobby for that."

SDG&E is finally getting a karma return on their own actions. I for one can hardly wait for this option to be put in place and lessen SDG&E's impact on my financial wallet. I put in solar 3 years ago in part due to SDG&E's excessive rates. Now those sob's have continued to whittle away on the financial benefits of such a system....with the help of Jerry Brown's sister. Is it fair that part of my SDG&E bill is being used to finance a team of full time SDG&E lawyers working to continue to rip off the people of San Diego? It's not like we have a choice where to get our electricity, wait....maybe there is?!
Thank you again Dave Rice

There is a lot more to this than meets the eye. I read through every page of the draft report and all the appendices - hundreds of pages. I'm all for being greener and keeping prices down, but I found a lot of things that need to be addressed before moving forward. The devil is in the details, as they say.

Guides, Technicalities
A Music Production Guide (part 1) – Having clear ideas before starting, the Pre-Production
Are you ready? Fasten your seat belt, this article is the start of "A Music Production Guide", where I'll chase on the trail of all the production steps, both creative and technical; needed to make a music album. To narrate it, I'll use as an example a hypothetical band (named "The Marks"), composed by 5 elements, who enter a studio to realize a first music album.
Let's imagine that the band has a lot of songs in its repertoire: which ones would they put in the album? How would they compose their line-up? Should the songs be arranged to give a sense of unicity to the album OR is better to disarticulate the composition, just creating a playlist of songs?
The artistic choices, from this point, are a lot! Amidst the lot are the nuances which can determine the failure or the success the end product. It is important to highlight that, in any case, the recording of an album is an experience that the musician does for him/herself, independently from the audience who will listen to the album. A different approach would devalue the meaning of the opera, alienating the musician from the artistic intent, from his trip toward the sublime.
Why make a music album?
Leaving alone all the material and financial incentive, the profound motivations have to be researched in something more noble and philosophical. There has to be the need to express oneself, as musicians and as a sum, in a band, where the final result is worth more than the single factors which add it up.
It enters in play the self-identification with one's own music and the need to share it with the world. In minor measure, there is also the need of self-affirmation, researched by playing a role and standing in a definite place in a more complex machine, as a music band could be. The recording process often occurs to mark the walking path, to give a meaning to the work done so far in a rehearsal room or on a stage during a live gig. All of this, without forgetting that pinch of personal mere ambition that every musician has: leaving a mark. It doesn't matter if the audience is humongous or small, as long as a true appreciation is given for what the musician is sharing. It is not always a matter of producing an album which will change the history of music; sometimes, it is simply to be recognized for the music composed, played and produced.
The studio recording experience is one of the most involving, intense and magical experiences which a band should try at least once. It is a moment where all the knots come to the comb, in which all the social dynamics within the bands are intensified. Despite the hard work involved, it is in most cases a fun experience!
Anyway, the starting point for any kind of product made in a studio (a single, an EP, an album) is the pre-production. A good pre-production allows one to have clear ideas on what is needed to be done, reducing the number of procedural mistakes. This phase is comprehensive of several steps, from ideological speculations to more technical consideration. It is important to choose and select with awareness, the songs that compose the final product, always clearly having in mind the final goal.
What do you put inside the album?
Surely all those songs or music pieces are characterizing the band, in its lyrical and musical content. At this point it is important to take a decision; is there a will to liaise all the songs (and going closer to the idea of a concept album) or use the album just as a song container, with the only goal to diffuse, disseminate and spread the music inside?
Even though the band operates the second choice the songs should still have a bit harmony and intent, making the product enjoyable in its totality and also in every single part that frame the album. It is also useful to keep in mind that and album (or an EP) is a photography of a specific artistic moment of a band or an artist, of its maturity, of its sound. For this is opportune to evaluate our own work in these terms, selecting songs that better represent that growth, but at the same time finding the right compromise with the commercial aspect of the idea. With commercial aspect I'm not referring to sale, income and profits, but about that quid which is needed to reach to biggest audience.
A concept album or not a concept album?
In the modern society a concept album is a high-risk product. Lately, we are used to ready fast goods, packaged to be consumed instantaneously and discarded. This way of looking at things has contaminated the music scene in a heavy manner. To identify an artist, we no longer refer to an entire album, we look at the single, a specific song. That active and exclusive listening experience, to contextualize an album in a more articulated piece, has almost totally disappeared. We simply tend to take the emotional vibe of the single fragment, disarticulating a song from its album and adding it in our own playlist, in any of our devices. This kind of listening, purely instinctual and passive, disaccustoms the audience to the appreciation and comprehension of music. It transforms the intimate of act of listening to an 'almost hearing', where the trend is to satisfy a greediness of cheap emotions, downplaying the music to a mere consuming good from an exploratory journey.
As a paradox, we could compare this process to the difference between nourishing and stodging, where a healthy need, like eating is brought to the excess, downplaying the value of the food, which at that point becomes a goal and not a means to health. Also, the pace and the rhythm of the world we are living in, is accustoming us to live an emotion of a radio play length, precluding the fruition of all the thematic and nuances which need more time to be valued, understood and appreciated.
In part those are the reasons which most probably would make a masterpiece like "The Dark Side of the Moon" (Pink Floyd, 1973), to miserably fail.
"The Marks", discouraged by this way of thinking, they discard the option of a concept album, still researching a minimal coherence throughout all their songs. The decision is to realize a slim product, not too expensive for them, but which still testify the artistic maturity reached by the band. To this scope, they choose 9 songs, for a total duration of 45 minutes. During this step, ideas of richer arrangement (compared to what is played in the rehearsal room) are developed. There is the need of better structuring the contents, reviewing the arrangement and the structures, keys and tempos. It is important to fix contents and ideas which are going to compose the songs. Things are now becoming hot!
To keep going with the right foot, and also to have a complete view of what is going to be recorded, it is warmly advised to prepare guide tracks. Those tracks, other than helping the band in having a broad view of the product they are going to produce, they will be very helpful during the first studio sessions. They will guide the musician during the tracking process, giving him directions to the songs, becoming a compass.
There are several ways of making those guide tracks, it keeps changing from band to band, from artist to artist. I will take into consideration only two methods, to most used, analyzing their pros and cons.
Acoustic guide track: it is a recording, which can also be homemade, containing all the essential information regarding a song, like the key, structure and tempo. This method offers a more pragmatical approach, advised to all those musicians who don't like to use sequencers or music sheets. An acoustic guide track is also advised to all those songs with a simple structure, without tempo changes. It is warmly advised to use very few instruments which include the essentials of melody, harmony and rhythm, together with a metronome. This guide is slim and quick to make, it doesn't offer a complete customization during the recording, in terms of levels and mutes. Also, if we feel the need to change the tempo, we would need to restart the process.
MIDI guide track:If you have good skills, it is possible to obtain very good results with a MIDI track. This system is modular and with an high customization, will allow you to write all your musical ideas. It is possible to activate and deactivate the instruments, to better satisfy the musical needs of the band/artist. It is also possible to change the tempo of the guide track, without restarting the whole process. The MIDI track, could be also used in future to integrate additional parts, through the usage of proper sound libraries. Certainly it will take more to realize these tracks, but the final result will be precise, granting the best possible comfort during the recording process. Even if the MIDI protocol is broadly diffused, it would be best to ask if the chosen studio has the possibility to host MIDI facilities.
A personal tip: during the writing of the guide tracks, it is advised to distinguish the denotative and connotative elements of the songs you are going to record. For this purpose, let me backlink one of my previous articles about the "Corpus Mechanicus and Corpus Misticum", to use it a general guideline for this task.
With clearer ideas and guide tracks at hand, "The Marks", after a heavy rehearsal session, would start to look for a studio which better fits their needs, and fully enter in the production phase.
See you in the next episode!

Nice read and very informative 👍


What am I missing? I've hit switches, tapped every wall, but can't seem to bring down the force fields...help!!!
There is a switch in the Mid center that removes one. To remove the other, you have to talk to Sappho there. Cross the holes.
Okay, wait... I guess i'm Missing some IQ, but I can't open the gate in front of the main entrance to get to one of the switches....ugh!
There is a secret switch. If you need a pic, let me know.
How to pass the gate at north west just after the four mirrors ?
There are no mirrors in the Tower of Ghouls that I can see. You might mean chairs. To open the northwest gate there, you need an Autographed Amulet. Someone gives it as a quest prize i think but you can also buy one from Epona the Jeweler if you sleep outside her shop long enough. The other gate there in the middle of the north, you need a Gold Figurine that's on a shelf there.
Not sure we speak about the same gate. That gate is just after the gate keeper, to the north .And also is there a riddle with the four chairs ?
Same the room with 9 plates ?
Just answer the riddless and move on with necessary items (found nearby).
Solved . But you must speak to the gate keeper BEFORE answering the riddles . If no, no way to open the gate.
I'm getting close to finishing this expansion, which has been another brilliant addition to the game. I too am struggling to open the gate opposite the main entrance. I see you've mentioned a secret switch but I can't find that either. Please can you help?
Look for a gray secret switch on gray green wall. Here's the switch and the gate.
Sheets doesn't remove the forcefield. What gives?
They disable some of the holes that would otherwise do something you wouldn't like.
As to the force fields, Sheets doesn't remove them. Sappho removes one. A switch removes the other.
There were two force fields. Did you use the switch? What did she say when you clicked on the yellow?
I clicked it. She said nothing. What was left to say is goodbye.
Persuasion and Lockpick greater than 90.
Lockpick... Never would have figured... I thought disarm skill would solve it, as there was a disarm spellbook on that tombstone... Thank you very much!
If you answered the questions correctly, speak to the gatekeeper again.


A trio including two men and a woman appeared before Magistrate Albert Hoare today to answer charges of attempted murder. They are twenty-four year-old Sheryl Arnold, a domestic of West Lake Community located at mile eight on the Western Highway, her twenty-two year old common-law-husband Eric Garbutt, a boat captain of the same address and his younger brother, nineteen year-old Patrick Garbutt Jr.
On March eight of this year Celso Funez reported to police that at about nine-thirty p.m. he was at home with his wife and three children when he heard someone calling him from outside. Upon checking, Funez saw a red Toyota Camry parked in front of his house. He went to see who was inside and noticed a man known to him as Patrick Garbutt who was in the company of his brother, Eric and his girlfriend Sheryl Arnold. According to Funez he had previously been involved in an argument with Patrick Garbutt Jr. Garbutt's brother allegedly pulled out a firearm and fired two shots at him. He ran and managed to escape injury. His attackers then got back into the vehicle and drove off.
This morning the trio was arraigned for one count each of attempted murder and one count of aggravated assault upon Celso Funez. The siblings along with Arnold were remanded to the Hattieville until May tenth.
I hope these three idiots get the maximum punishment while in prison for such a foolish act.
Guns provoke violence; people kill people, not guns.
Bless Up Chalwahbinghy. Chami-ka seh so. Humble unuself youths. Mek we start the peace and love Bob Marley dreamt of.
S… PPL LIVING IN bELIZE NOWADAYS!!!!!!!!!
Men don't use a gun to settle their differences, boys do..real immature ones. Make sense to keep your life simple and with little desire for wordly things. All you get is problems.

"datePublished": "May 19, 2011", "dateModified": "May 19, 2011", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "James Phillips" }, "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The Daily Signal", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://www.dailysignal.com/wp-content/themes/daily-signal/assets/images/brand/the-daily-signal-logo-schema.png", "width": 600, "height": 60 } }, "description": "President Obama today delivered a lengthy speech on U.S. policy in the Middle East that promised continued American support for democratic transitions in the countries..." }
President Obama today delivered a lengthy speech on U.S. policy in the Middle East that promised continued American support for democratic transitions in the countries influenced by the "Arab Spring." He outlined an overly optimistic vision of what an Israeli–Palestinian peace settlement would look like. But he missed an opportunity to express strong U.S. support for democratic opposition movements brutally repressed by two dictatorships that stand as the chief barriers to realizing American goals in the Middle East: Iran and Syria.
The President reviewed the "extraordinary change" that has recently taken place in Tunisia and Egypt and lamented: "Unfortunately, in too many countries, calls for change have been answered by violence." While he talked at length about the violent regime reaction in Libya, he shortchanged discussion of the systematic repression in Syria and Iran and failed to announce concrete policies that would help beleaguered democratic forces in those countries to advance freedom and defend human rights.
Instead he stuck with the flawed and fuzzy thinking that his Administration has displayed on Syria, saying, "President Assad now has a choice: He can lead that transition, or get out of the way." In fact, Assad will surely make neither of those choices but will continue to cling to power by mowing down and arresting his own people.
But the Obama Administration has still not called on the Syrian dictator to step down or even say that he has lost his legitimacy, as it previously did with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, an authoritarian leader allied with Washington who was responsible for far less human rights abuse, corruption, and repression than Assad. Moreover, Mubarak was an ally against terrorist groups, while Assad and his Iranian backers are the chief state sponsors of terrorism in the Middle East.
This fuzzy thinking is also apparent in the President's statements about reviving Israeli–Palestinian peace negotiations. The popular uprisings of the Arab Spring have demonstrated that the Arab–Israeli conflict is not the only source—or even the primary source—of the violence and instability that has roiled the Middle East. Predatory regimes that oppress and steal from their own citizens, use Israel as a convenient scapegoat, and exploit terrorism to advance their interests inside and outside their own territories are a far greater danger to regional peace and stability.
President Obama's speech glossed over the threats to peace posed by these regimes and the terrorist groups that they support. He stated: "I'm convinced that the majority of Israelis and Palestinians would rather look to the future than be trapped in the past." But his Administration continues to misread the past—in particular, how continued Palestinian terrorism, backed by Syria and Iran, torpedoed the Israeli–Palestinian peace talks and led to the current stalemate in negotiations.
This misreading of the past and underestimation of the terrorist threat is evident in the President's statement about the need to return to Israel's 1967 borders. After all, Israel's 2005 withdrawal to its 1967 border with Gaza led not to peace but to expanded terrorism after Hamas staged a bloody coup in 2007 and transformed Gaza into a base for launching rockets against Israeli civilians. Israel cannot afford to return to its 1967 border with the West Bank unless it has ironclad guarantees that any territory relinquished will not again be transformed into a base for future terrorist attacks. This is impossible as long as Hamas, committed to Israel's destruction, remains a potent force.
The Israeli government was quick to react to the Obama speech, tweeting its disappointment that the Obama Administration departed from a previous understanding reached with the Bush Administration on the need for modifications in its 1967 borders. Given the long record of failed agreements with the Palestinians, any future agreement must be based on Israel's legitimate security requirements, including the need for secure borders and concrete Palestinian policies to fight terrorism.

The Heartbreakers legend died in 2017.
Tom Petty's widow and his two daughters are reportedly locked in a fierce legal battle as they feud over the late singer's will and the future of his unreleased music.
The Heartbreakers legend died in October 2017 after suffering an accidental drug overdose.
As TMZ reports, his wife Dana York Petty and daughters Adria and Annakim are now said to be feuding over the late music icon's estate.
It's believed that Dana has filed court documents that state she is in control of Petty's estate – but Adria and Annakim, his daughters from a previous relationship, say that their father always intended for them to be involved too.
His late wife has also accused his daughters of verbally attacking Petty's former bandmates and making it increasingly difficult for her to control the estate.
In an email to the band's surviving members Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell, Adria allegedly wrote: "What I don't have the temperament for is having my entire life raped. Being disparaged. My dad being disgraced.
The court filing also sees Dana accusing Petty's daughters of blocking the release of solo material he recorded 25 years ago. His widow reportedly wanted to include the tracks on a 25th anniversary box set release of his seminal album 'Wildflowers' and expected the project to have pulled in more than $1 million in royalties.
But Adria allegedly disputed the timing of the release and attempted to block it.
Another part of the feud reportedly involves Petty's home city of Gainesville, Florida, amid plans to rename a park in his honour.
It's now believed that Adria has filed a petition with a probate court, accusing Dana of ignoring two of her late father's wishes in his will.
She claims that his wife was asked to transfer the singer's "artistic property" assets out of his trust and into a separate company managed by all three women.
All three are yet to respond to the latest claims.


Attack Zero -- Information Security Blog: Vigilante "Malware"?
Connecting to a botnet that distributes updates information about threats, presumably to be able to put up rudimentary defenses to common attacks.
Attempts to remediate malware on the device.
It is a bit curious that the software would only block telnet. Many internet of things (IoT) devices have web interfaces that the owner is more likely to use to administer the device, rather than telnet. For one, the telnet client is not enabled by default on newer versions of Windows, so many users likely do not have a way to use telnet installed. If the software's author wanted to get a message across to the owner, a better vector would have been the web pages used to administer the device. To be fair, this would require having a database on the configurations of various devices because the webpages and web servers on different devices are different.
Another question I have concerns how secure the software is. What is to stop someone from hijacking the command and control channel for the botnet or some other vulnerability in the software? The article mentions that connections to backdoors opened by the device are verified with cryptographic signatures (probably through use of a specific key). However, it is not clear how secure the keys are or the security of the other software in the suite or of the device itself. Weak credentials might not be the only issue.
The interesting thing about this malware is that it bends the rules of what malware is "supposed" to be. The name malware is a portmanteau of malicious and software. Malware is typically installed unbeknownst to the user. This is one of the aspects of its malicious nature (the other being the fact that it subjects the device to the malware author's intentions which are usually not for the benefit of the user). Is software with good intentions that is installed without the system owner's knowledge or permission still malware?
Let's pretend for a bit that the author of Linux.Wifatch's claims are legitimate and he is really trying to make these devices more secure (even if only a little bit). On their face, the intentions of this software are admirable. It is trying to make a device secure when its owner has neglected to take basic steps to secure it. However, there is an old saying: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." Wifatch is not doing anything to address the underlying problem, and I do not believe it can. The underlying problem is that the owner of the device is not knowledgeable about basic device security measures. I realize that might sound a bit harsh, but with security threats being so commonplace, I do not believe people can afford to be ignorant of them any more. I am not saying everyone should become security experts, but I hope that people in general become more aware of their security vulnerabilities and take even the smallest steps to mitigate them.
For example, one way that manufacturers could do this would be to redirect a user to a router configuration page hosted on the router when they first try to access the Internet (or the device) that walks the user through changing their password and telling the device the (secure) ways that they want to administer it (HTTPS or SSH). In order to make the page somewhat phish-resistant, I would implement something where a special string is embedded in the device's ROM and printed on the outside of the device or on the box. When the page is accessed, it would tell the user to verify that string and only continue if the string on the screen matches the string physically printed on the device or box. After the initial setup process is complete, the page should be wiped out so that it cannot be accessed again. It is like a safety seal for your router.
I think that despite its intentions, Wifatch is still malicious but not in the "malware" sense. I think it is not helping the owner of the device as much as the author thinks it is. I think it would have been better if the software forced the device owner's hand through education.
What are your thoughts? What do you think about Wifatch - is it malware or angelware? Let me know in the comments or via e-mail.

No room for corruption in Mass. Legislature
BOSTON, MA: February 18, 2020: Representative David Nangle leaves Moakley Federal Court after facing a judge in Boston, Massachusetts. (Staff photo by Nicolaus Czarnecki/MediaNews Group/Boston Herald)
By Boston Herald editorial staff |
Tuesday, state Rep. Dave Nangle, a Democrat who represents Chelmsford and Lowell, was arrested by agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the IRS Criminal Investigation Division at his home in Lowell.
Nangle was indicted on 10 counts of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud, nine counts of making false statements to a bank and five counts of filing false tax returns, according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling.
Nangle has been a state rep for the 17th Middlesex district for more than two decades and still sits on the House Ethics Committee.
According to the complaint, Nangle was deeply in debt, a heavy gambler and used his campaign funds for a variety of personal expenditures, including golf club dues, casinos, hotels, flowers for his girlfriend and more.
According to the US Attorney's office, he fraudulently obtained loans to pay off debts and fund his gambling and he also received kitchen and bathroom work.
During a press conference yesterday, Joseph R. Bonavolonta, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Field Division, told reporters that Nangle misled the IRS for personal gain. "In essence he was trying to triple-dip in order to get a federal tax refund," he said.
"Representative Nangle traded on his political clout by accepting approximately $15,000 worth of home improvement work," Bonavolonta said. "Including a loan from a Tyngsboro contractor whom he never paid. However the contractor was awarded lucrative bids for construction projects for which Nangle had secured state funding."
The corruption took various forms, according to Bonavolonta.
"Our investigation also revealed that Nangle was paid $27,000 from a Billerica business owner for real estate consulting services which he never provided. Nangle used that money to purchase a new home after which a businessman agreed to paint several rooms for him for free," he told reporters.
Obviously, Rep Nangle is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. However, if these allegations are true, the people of Chelmsford and Lowell have been represented in the State House for two decades by a profoundly corrupt individual who used the power entrusted in him to enrich himself in numerous ways.
Each and every elected official and public servant in Nangle's proximity must declare their condemnation of this behavior loud and clear, without equivocation.
Bay Staters have been wronged. The damage these developments have done to the integrity of our political process will resonate for decades. The allegations outlined by the U.S. Attorney are deeply cynical and dark.
We deserve better.

PLEASANTON, Calif., Nov. 2, 2015 — Corporate Visions, Inc., the leading marketing and sales messaging, content and skills training company, today announced the appointment of Gloria Fan as CFO, Leo Hanna as EVP of international sales and Jennifer Zick as EVP of marketing. Fan will oversee finance, legal, HR, IT and administrative functions, while Hanna will lead all company sales activities, account management, and strategic reseller relationships across the EMEA and APAC regions.

Gloria, Leo and Jennifer all bring a wealth of expertise to our executive team and I'm confident they will help us continue our strong growth by identifying new customers, partnerships and market opportunities."
Fan most recently served as CFO at ClearEdge Power, Inc., where she led the sale of the company to Doosan, a $20 billion Korean organization. Prior to ClearEdge Power, she spent seven years in the solid-state lighting industry where she was CFO for both Pinecone Energies and Bridgelux.

Previously, Fan spent seven years at UTStarcom as VP of finance and global business operations, where she led the company through its IPO, grew its revenue from $186 million to $4 billion a year and completed more than 10 M&A transactions. She earned a Master of Science degree from Purdue University and an M.B.A. from San Jose State University.
Before joining Corporate Visions, Hanna led Saba Corporation's EMEA operations as GM and SVP for the region.

Prior to Saba Corporation, Hanna held senior sales and marketing leadership positions at Oracle, Symantec and Microsoft Corporation, with roles in the U.K subsidiary, EMEA and APAC leadership functions. Hanna earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics and computing from Leicester De Montfort.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from the University of Minnesota.
