The Curiosity of Will Davis
American Theater Co. of Chicago's new artistic director looks for magic in small spaces.
By Suzy Evans
Will Davis is having a realization over lunch. We're dining at a café in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood on an unseasonably warm February day, and he's talking about his attraction to William Inge's plays—a journey, he's just now remembering, that had its start not that far from where we're sitting.
One of the director's first jobs was as Damon Kiely's assistant on Inge's The Dark at the Top of the Stairs in 2006 at the Windy City's American Theater Company (ATC), where Kiely was artistic director at the time. Working on that show was Davis's introduction to Inge, whose body of work has haunted him for years. In particular the unquenched longing in Picnic has been at the forefront of his mind.
So it's no surprise that the 1953 chestnut was on Davis's must-direct list for his first season, when he took over as artistic director of ATC in early 2016. But instead of helming a traditional version of Inge's classic, he assembled a cast of individuals encompassing diverse genders, ages, races, and experiences to create "queer fellowship" (the production ran March 17-April 23 at ATC). Why the radical approach? Because Davis, who is transmasculine, wants to give the play's famously repressed and closeted writer a posthumous gift—a present that Davis himself might have appreciated back in 2006.
"I feel like I've been living with Inge's ghost for quite some time, and this question, that I feel you can read in his whole canon, is some version of: 'Shall I follow my heart song'? And the answer is no. Or, 'Don't you dare.' Or, 'It'll kill you or no one will love you.' And I do very deeply identify with that," Davis says. Working on Inge with Kiely in 2006 certainly spoke to Davis at a time when he was "a very closeted young woman with a sweepy bang haircut in a dress. There was something really deep in there about the unknown, uncharted land of want and desire and belonging and identity that I couldn't have described to you in that way then but now feels like: Oh, that's something I want to bring to life inside this play for myself."
Coming back to run a Chicago theatre is a full-circle move for the 33-year-old Davis, who had been making much of his career as a freelancer based in New York City and directing shows across the country: Andrew Hinderaker's Colossal at Maryland's Olney Theatre Center and Minneapolis's Mixed Blood Theatre, Basil Kreimendahl's Orange Julius at MOXIE Theatre in San Diego, Calif., Jaclyn Backhaus's Men on Boats at Clubbed Thumb and Playwrights Horizons in NYC.
But Davis began his career in Chicago, first as an acting student at DePaul University before he got cut from the program for "having no professional potential," which he calls "one of my badges of honor." (He has a BFA in theatre studies from the school.) "Now that I'm back here, the ghosts of all of those feelings of failure and ineptitude—I'm now actually processing the rest of them," he says, adding that he often has strange memories from that time just making the 15-minute walk from his apartment to the theatre.

Chicago is also where he first met Bonnie Metzgar, who served as the interim artistic director of ATC after P.J. Paparelli's sudden death in a car accident in 2015. They met in 2008 when she was running About Face Theatre and he was getting his MFA at the University of Texas at Austin. Davis would come back to the city to visit friends and was eager to network with people in town.
Metzgar remembers immediately clicking with Davis, even though their first conversation was a bit heated: Davis was bemoaning being replaced as a director on shows he had workshopped, while Metzgar insisted her role as an artistic director was to give priority to artists in the local community. She saw a fire and a passion in Davis.
Metzgar's main task as the interim A.D. at ATC was shepherding the company through grief over Paparelli's death as well as searching for his replacement. Company members wanted to take the institution in a new artistic direction, and Metzgar reached out to several artists and industry folks for referrals. At least 10 of them wrote back with Davis's name.
"P.J. made some very strong programmatic choices for the company, including a lot of documentary theatre, and the cohort resoundingly agreed they wanted someone who was thinking about the work in a really new way," Metzgar says. "The thing about Will Davis is he really thinks about the work of the theatre and uses different language. You just don't hear some of the things he talks about from other people." Like? Most directors aren't likely to hold forth on the "dance dramaturgy of the new play," for instance.
So she sent Davis an email encouraging him to apply for the position, which he remembers as "the most beautiful email I've ever read, and I as a rule always do what Bonnie tells me to do." While he wasn't actively looking for an institutional position at a theatre—he thought he'd maybe look for one in a few years—he was flattered by the offer. When he thought about it further, he remembered an assignment in grad school where he had to write his own obituary. He recalls, "The number one thing that came out of that really terrifying exercise was realizing that I wanted to be remembered as someone who made space for other people."
While Davis admits he doesn't have any experience running an institution or dealing with funders and board members, he thinks his lack of knowledge might be an asset. Davis never met Paparelli and had never seen his work, but from what Davis has gleaned, he feels he shares his predecessor's interest in new work and the theatre as a civic space.
For his first season as artistic director, Davis partnered with the Chicago Inclusion Project to create an inclusive casting process for the shows in the 2016-17 season, and while one of Davis's goals in the position is to bring the company back to financial health (it needs to "get smaller to get healthier," he says), he also wants to make sure the people he hires reflect the community and the world.
"This is a very, very white place—myself included," Davis says. "One of my goals for the theatre is to address its whiteness. What I like is that as a field we're talking about it, and more importantly, what I feel like I've heard in my new role is even better than talk. There are some funders who are saying this thing needs to change. I need to see a plan."
Wendy Goldberg, artistic director of the National Playwrights Conference at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center in Waterford, Conn., identified this spirit of inclusivity in Davis before she even met him. Goldberg first took notice of Davis through essays he wrote about the lack of development opportunities for emerging directors. In response she invited Davis to the O'Neill, and this led to the creation of the National Directors Fellowship for emerging directors, for which Davis is a mentor. Now Goldberg is joining Davis on a newly created artistic advisory board for ATC, designed to help the organization stay fiscally responsible while also championing artists as administrators.
"We do a great job talking about this idea of generosity in our field, but it's a hard path, and we get bogged down because there is so much we need to do to stay afloat as artists/administrators, so I don't always see this spirit present," Goldberg says. "Will is just starting his career and he has this sense of generosity—I responded to that strongly, and you see it in his work, which is imaginative, theatrical, and has a great investment from his ensemble."
As a director, Davis gravitates toward ensemble-driven work. But while he likes to work with big casts, he prefers smaller spaces and minimal props. "One thing I've learned about putting the epic onstage is that you must pressurize it," he explains. "I like to really hem in big shows and make it hard to move almost, and then let the theatricality of breath or changing the parameters of the stage launch that energy that has been collecting in the internal space.

"It circles right back to where I am with Picnic right now," he continues. "I was saying to this designer this morning: If you have nothing for a really long time, and then you put a chair where there was nothing, that chair is the most magical thing you've ever seen. What a strange creature is a chair? It has four legs.
"It's that withholding thing, and it enables the sublime. It enables the mundane to be spectacular. That's what I love to see onstage. I think slickness is wonderful; as a theatrical construct I'm less interested in it. Maybe one day I'll get way into that."
Davis's hiring at ATC also marks another milestone: He is the first transgender person to lead a major nonprofit institution without a defined LGBTQ mission. Davis says he now feels it's part of his job to talk about his gender identity, whereas when he was freelancing he would speak to reporters about it only if the gender identity of everyone else involved in the production was similarly addressed. But now he says he wants "the light turned on as bright as I can get it that I'm here, and that I'm interested in refocusing the theatre on a few key things. One of those is equity in the arts."
Not that his relationship to gender is easily summed up. "I don't like to spend too much time dwelling on the trauma of queerness, because I don't think it's politically a helpful thing, and I don't think that my identity empirically holds any trauma," he says. "But I have experienced a lot from the rest of the world's response to my identity. I don't know what I look like to people anymore. I don't really have a relationship to gender anymore in terms of a 'this' or 'that.' I feel like my interest in gender is about all of us as magical creatures, all of us as a soft collection of identities."
He does refer to himself as a "Peter Pan prancy man" on more than one occasion, and to see him walk around the theatre space on West Byron Street, this seems to be an accurate description. Davis doesn't just turn around, he does a modified fouetté, swinging his leg back and landing with it horizontal in front of him. Why walk when you can chassé around the room?
At an early rehearsal for Picnic, Davis is working on movement with this cast, and his fiancée, Evvie Allison, a downtown dancer he met when they were paired in a show at queer dance company Ballez in New York, is on hand as the choreographer for the production. It's the first time the couple have worked together professionally.
The ATC space has been converted from its previous proscenium setup to a more open room. A pile of wood planks rests in the corner—the remnants of the ship props from ATC's staging of Men on Boats, helmed by Davis earlier this year.
As Davis plays around with dance moves, he responds to problems and challenges with curiosity instead of frustration, as in, "How curious that none of that worked." ("People on my staff will tell you that you could play a drinking game with the number of times I say 'How curious?'" Davis concedes. "It's my main mode, as opposed to something is wrong or something is right. I'm just more interested in something is happening and how curious that that thing is happening. What should we do now?")
Davis grew up doing ballet, but for a young woman increasingly feeling uncomfortable in her skin, the gendered nature of dance and particularly ballet took a toll.
"Somewhere in middle school something went wrong," he recalls. "I could tell you now what went wrong; at the time, all I knew was, I was there in my pink tights and black leotard and my little toe shoes and just feeling like a monster. And when you go through puberty you feel that dysphoric physical thing where there's you and there's your body. When I think about it now, I just know the valley between those things was just getting epic."
Now that that valley has been bridged, Davis says, "The thing I feel like I didn't have as a young person is a soul. I don't feel like I was a woman and now I'm a man. I feel like now I'm a Will Davis. And that magical Will Davis has a soul. I have gravity. I feel like I'm alive on the Earth in a way that I was not before."
Early on in his transition process, before surgery and hormone therapy, an actor offered to do some bodywork with Davis, which Davis strongly resisted because he didn't feel comfortable in his own then-female body. But, as the actor pointed out, Davis had already begun to cover that body with tattoos of birds and feathers, and he recognized the recurring theme, telling Davis, "Your body was saying to me, 'I'm going to break free and I'm going to get out of here, I'm going somewhere else.'"
"I was like, 'Oh my God, that's true,' and I absolutely feel that in my continuing relationship with my body and the sort of audacity to think of its potential and not its limit," says Davis, who gave in and let the actor do more bodywork on him. "And the idea that, like, you can feel something and dream of something and you can manifest it. Like, I made this. Cost me a lot of money. But I did make this body. And to me it means that anything is possible. I dreamed this idea, and now it is in three dimensions and you can touch it."
Birds and flight appear throughout many aspects of Davis's life: in his apartment, in his wardrobe. The next night at rehearsal, as Davis is exploring choreography again, he tells the cast about a YouTube video of the blue-footed boobies' mating dance, during which the birds lift their brightly colored webbed feet and marvel at each other's appearance.
He and Allison stand up and start mimicking the birds, raising their feet high in symmetry as their arms seem to naturally flap like wings; the birds' movement, as well as their utter lack of self-consciousness, is something he wants the actors to channel in their performances.
"They love their feet!" Davis exclaims. "I want to feel like that!"
Then Molly Brennan, a veteran Chicago actor who's playing Hal in the production, turns to Davis and says: "You are like that."

Clough Mór and Fionn mac Cumhaill
Stair na hÉireannHistory, Ireland, Irish History, Irish MythologyCarlingford, Carlingford Lough, Clough Mór and Fionn mac Cumhaill, Cooley Mountains, Dord Fiann, Fianna, Giant of Snow and Ice, Giant of Summer, Isle of Man, Lough Neagh, Ruscaire, Slieve Foy mountain
Fionn mac Cumhaill threw most of the big stones that are littered across the north of Ireland. He was also responsible for creating the Giants Causeway, the Isle of Man and Lough Neagh and gives his name to the Cooley mountains across the Lough.
Fionn mac Cumhaill pursued a wild boar across Slieve Foy mountain in Carlingford and slew it. He cooked it on top of the smouldering Volcano that had long since erupted but which still emitted enough heat to cook the unfortunate but delicious hog. He laid down to sleep and woke as the dawn sun began to rise in the Mourne's, and as he cast his eyes on Carlingford Lough below, a great shadow stretched over the Lough and momentarily blocked out the sun. To his surprise he saw another giant as big as himself, a white shield slung over his shoulder, armed with a mighty sword in one hand and a club in the other.
"Who are you?" shouted Fionn his voice reverberating around the mountains. "I am the cock of the North," shouted the other giant and he began to crow and flap his elbows like they were wings."If I go across that Lough, said Fionn, I'll put the crowing off you mighty quick."
"My name is, Ruscaire, I am the Giant of Snow and Ice, the enemy of the whole human race, and if it's fighting you want, I'm your man."
You dare to challenge me, said Fionn, the Giant of Summer. You may think you have conquered me, you may even hold me prisoner, but in the end I will break out and the whole of nature will rejoice.
Both giants drew their swords, each with one foot in Carlingford Lough, and the other astride the mountains. They fought day and night with swords and on the second day with clubs. On the third morning Ruscaire awoke early from the nights slumber, and while Fionn still slept he crossed the Lough and stole the sword of Fionn. He could have slain him as he slept but he had honour.
When Fionn awoke and found that his sword was gone and that Ruscaire had taken it, he fell into a great rage, picked up stones and fired them at him across the water. A great battle of stone and rock firing began, thumping down and rocking the very foundations of the mountains. Close to where Fionn stood lay the Clough Mór stone, it weighed nearly 50 tons. With a great effort, Fionn summoning all his strength, gathered his great arms around it and hurled it at Ruscaire. It landed on the unfortunates head. It crushed his great body back into the mountain where it melted away like ice beneath the stone.
Fionn overextended himself with the mighty effort, he was exhausted and lay down on top of the smouldering volcano to sleep. His head lay at the mountain top and his feet rested in the Lough. Such was his tiredness that he never awakened and as the years passed by, his great body turned to rock, and the outline of his body can be seen to this day.
Fionn not only outlived his son and grandson, he survived to unfortunately see the massacre of his beloved Fianna at the battle of Gabhra.
However, according to the most popular account of Fionn's death, he is not dead at all, rather, he sleeps in a cave, surrounded by the Fianna. One day they will awake and defend Ireland in the hour of her greatest need. In one account, it is said they will arise when the Dord Fiann, the hunting horn of the Fianna, is sounded three times, and they will be as strong and as well as they ever were.

Impeachment: the Senate receives the indictment of Trump, the trial will start
After weeks of waiting, the House of representatives will vote Wednesday to send the Senate the indictment that she was held against Donald Trump, the ultimate step before the start of the trial by impeachment of the republican president.
The president democrat in the Chamber and main opponent of Donald Trump in the Congress, Nancy Pelosi, announced Tuesday after a closed-door meeting with his elect that the indictment would be finally passed Wednesday in the Senate, republican majority, after a final vote in the plenary session of the lower house.
It must first announce at 10 a. m. who are the " prosecutors designated ", these elected democrats of the House are loaded in a first time to cross the Capitol to bring the indictment to the upper chamber.
After the historic vote in the House on 18 December, at which time the charges of abuse of power and obstructing the smooth running of the Congress have been held against Donald Trump, Nancy Pelosi failed to pass the indictment to the Senate in the hope to obtain guarantees on the organization of a trial " fair ".
The leader of the republicans in the Senate, Mitch McConnell indicated Tuesday that he would "in all probability" before the end of the week the "preliminary steps" at the opening of the trial, including the swearing-in of senators in front of the chief justice of the supreme Court of the United States John Roberts.
"We hope to achieve this in a consensual way, which would really start the trial next Tuesday," added the loyal support of Donald Trump, determined to get out as quickly as the president of this difficult time.
"Why, Nancy, the nerve and the corrupt politician Adam Schiff the trickster are we not granted a fair trial in the House ? ", has moved the republican president in a tweet on Tuesday night, faithful to his line of defence that has seen it including qualify this procedure against " coup ".
At a rally Tuesday evening in Wisconsin, the president denounced the behavior of the democrats.
"While we create jobs and kill the terrorists, the democrats in Congress are wasting their time in America with deceptions, wild and witch-hunts foolish ", he launched to his supporters.
"Serious facts "
The opposition is convinced that the president has used the resources of the State to put pressure on Ukraine to conduct an investigation on the democrat Joe Biden, her potential opponent in the presidential election of November.
They accuse him in particular of having frozen military assistance crucial to countries in armed conflict with its Russian neighbour, in order to achieve sti purposes.
The republicans, who block around Donald Trump, condemn, them, a "witch-hunt" without merit, nourished, according to them, by the aversion of the opposition to this president atypical.
The democrats, who can count on 47 votes (out of 100) in the Senate, are aware that they have virtually no chance of obtaining the removal of the former business man in new york, a two-thirds majority being necessary.
But they hope to uncover information embarrassing to Donald Trump.
New twist Tuesday, the democrat Adam Schiff, who was the head of the investigation into the impeachment in the lower House and is expected to lead the team of elected officials in charge of the prosecution in the Senate, has unveiled unpublished documents damning, according to him Donald Trump.
They consist, in particular, of records of telephone conversation of Lev Parnas, an American of Ukrainian origin, who would have worked alongside Rudy Giuliani, counsel for the u. s. president to put pressure on the Ukrainian government to investigate its potential rival Joe Biden.
These documents "show that there is more evidence for the project of the president, but they were hidden by the president himself," according to Mr. Schiff.
The democrats blame Donald Trump not to pass the documents essential for the proper place of the trial and to prevent of the key figures of his administration to testify.
One of them, John Bolton, train national security adviser, says he is ready to answer a summons to the Senate. But the outcome has been pushed back to later by Mitch McConnell and a consensus is not guaranteed.
Without witnesses or additional documents, " the trial in the Senate will become a farce, a meeting on television for a mock trial ", warned Chuck Schumer, the leader of the minority democrat in the Senate.
After Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1999, "the Senate will begin the third trial in the impeachment of a sitting president," said the leader of the minority democratic party in the upper house, Chuck Schumer, reiterating that the allegations made against Donald Trump were " serious ".

"I know I'm an idiot": tennis player Andy Murray lost his wedding ring, which he tied to his shoes, his wife will be furious
The athlete left the ring after training on the sneaker, but in the morning he found that everything was gone
It became known that the famous tennis player Andy Murray lost his wedding ring. He left him in sneakers that dried and then simply evaporated. The winner of three Grand Slam tournaments spoke about this on his Instagram, where he regularly informs about all the events that occur in his life. The man says that he is now in Indian Wells, and the incident happened there. Andy Murray has a habit of tying the ring to his running shoes during training, and he did this just so as not to lose it.
After one of them, he tried to dry his shoes, but since his room does not have a balcony, he left his sneakers under the car, and, of course, he forgot about the jewelry. In the morning, he saw that there were no shoes, no ring itself.
"Yeah, I know, I'm an idiot. It's clear now that this was a terrible idea. But I need help. What reward should I announce?" - says the message that the tennis player wrote on Instagram.
Since its publication, this story has already gained more than 100 thousand views, and only continues to spread across the network. How his wife reacted to this incident is unknown, however, apparently she is not particularly happy.
A little later it became known that the ring had been found. It's not reported how and where he discovered it, or who returned it, however, the man is incredibly happy about this fact, and now nothing threatens their marriage. Recall that the athlete is married to Kim Sears, whom he met for more than 10 years. They got married in March 2015, and since then they have had four children. Daughter Sophia Olivia (2016), Edie (2017), son Teddy Barron (2019), and in March of this year, another daughter, whose name was not disclosed.

In the decade since Nassau Airport Development assumed operations of Lynden Pindling International Airport, a lot has changed. We unearthed some photos from the archives to illustrate just far we have come as an airport.
In 2006, when the Government of The Bahamas selected Vantage Airport Group to oversee LPIA's redevelopment, the terminal was congested, outdated and not what travellers expected of a modern airport. The facility did not reflect its destination – a destination which is frequently referred to as the most beautiful place on earth (most recently by NASA)!
The USD 410 million redeveloped airport that we enjoy today was completed in three stages over four-and-a-half years. The third and final phase opened in October 2013, on time and on budget, concluding the country's largest-ever infrastructure project.
With first-class architecture and amenities rendered in quintessentially Bahamian colours and textures, and terminals that are optimized for efficient operations, LPIA offers a tremendous first and last impression of the one-and-only Bahamas, and is a source of great pride for its employees and the community.
See more then-and-now images of LPIA on Facebook and Twitter.

Sponsored: The World of Just Cause 2 - Using Creative Technology to Build Huge Open Landscapes
Amazon Game Studios
Sr. Game Server Engineer - New World
by Linus Blomberg [Programming, Art, Game Developer Magazine, Console/PC, Sponsored Feature, GD Mag, GD Mag Exclusive]
May 16, 2013 Page 1 of 6
Avalanche Studios was founded over ten years ago out of passion for open world gaming. But for me it actually started back in 1984 when playing Ian Bell's and David Braben's classic game Elite for the BBC Micro Model B. I was astonished by the way they could create a whole universe with 8000 unique planets that you could travel freely between, on a machine with just 32KB of memory and with a CPU running at 2 MHz. It was a completely different experience from all of the platform games and sidescrollers of the time. Mesmerizing.
Bedroom Space Cadets
My two brothers and I built a spaceship cockpit in a closet at home using old discarded machinery that our dad brought home for us from the university at which he was a professor. In the center sat the BBC and a joystick. Being the oldest brother, I was obviously the highest in rank, and in charge of the joystick, while my brothers were commanded to sit with a finger on the countermeasure keys, ready to EMP any incoming enemy missiles, or in worst case, activate the escape pod. Pressing too late often meant instant deportation to the vacuum of space -- the bedroom outside the closet. Luckily for me, that harsh penalty didn't kill their passion for open world games, and we eventually started experimenting in making our own.
We soon discovered fractals and how procedural techniques could be used to achieve experiences far greater than the typically perceived constraints of the hardware would allow -- just like Braben and Bell had done several years earlier. Living in the countryside in the north of Sweden, our interest became trying to replicate the landscape outside of our windows using these techniques. Many years (and much coding) later, a procedural landscape demo attracted the interest of an Eidos producer, and the Just Cause franchise was born.
Space and Beyond
Fundamental to the gameplay of the Just Cause series is the ability to move freely in an enormous world. Long draw distances are vital for the Just Cause experience, since the player's progression and motivation is much guided by visual input. We wanted the player to see things in the horizon and become interested to find out what hides behind that distant mountain range or on that remote island. The Avalanche Engine is developed from the ground up to cater to sandbox gameplay in huge open worlds with large draw distances.
There are many technologies required to achieve this, making it very difficult to retrofit open-world functionality to existing game engines. This article will describe one of those techniques, namely terrain rendering. More specifically it will describe how the terrain mesh is generated in the Just Cause games, and how we were able to draw a 32 by 32 kilometer world with full draw distance. It will describe our geo-morphing technique that made the long draw distance possible while at the same time eliminating level-of-detail "popping." It will also describe the resource management techniques and data compression required to efficiently stream and recreate the large amount of data required to generate the terrain meshes.
The goals for designing the terrain system in the Avalanche Engine were:
Memory efficiency. The original Just Cause was released on PlayStation 2, so we knew that we had to have a very tight memory representation to make a world of that size fit. Data compression and procedural techniques would be required.
High performance. There are a lot of things to render in an open world game so the terrain system cannot consume much of the available processing power. We knew that static vertex buffers would have to be used to achieve this, which ruled out some terrain rendering techniques.
High visual fidelity. Meant high resolution, no level-of-detail popping," large draw distance, etc. Again, especially considering the other two goals, procedural techniques would be crucial to accomplish this.

Q: NordVPN on Draytek 2862 stops working after some time for no apparent reason So i have a NordVPN account, which i configured on my draytek, it works for the most part but it will suddenly stop working. the connect does NOT drop, it shows as connected and fine, but no devices have internet. I have to manually press the drop button and wait for it to reconnect after a few seconds, then everything will be fine again... The problem is that i cannot be doing that all the time. It drops calls (on VoIP) and i am not on site.
Draytek don't know, and nor does Nord... I have tried everything that i know.
Nothing shows in the logs. I have set up the IKE advanced settings perfectly as per Nords instructions.
If you want to see the configuration i used please let me know.

A: Could be your internet connection itself. If the connection drops NordVPN has to reconnect, do have any options regarding a reconnect of NordVPN?

I made a gnuradio-companion file that outputs an analytical signal to the tx device. The amplitude of the signal is limited to 0.5, at that moment it reaches 1 Watt. I briefly tested and verified that if I turn the volume way up, I can output 2 Watt according to my meter.
Basically you need to run quisk, press PTT to enter transmit mode, and then run this program in gnuradio-companion (I'm using the Debian-supplied version, 3.5.3.2).
Setting the volume directly affects the power meter output, quite fun to play with in fact .
Opens the tx device and outputs an analytical signal, has a volume slider.
After a lot of testing, I can now transmit using the following config file (only tested on a dummy load). I had some issues with choppy sound at first, this was resolved after I added the settings data_poll_usec and latency_millisec.
I'm now using both the microphone and the speakers of the peaberry.
Right now the only issue I have is that the frequency in quisk is not correct. However, if I use linrad, I'm spot on. So, once I have figured that out, I'll post a "final" config file for quisk.
I am probably using another hardware.py file than you curently are. So would need both to test your config.
Have noticed in the mean time, by looking into the quisk code, that there is potentially another problem.
My python harware code works fine in switching rx/tx and in controlling the sis570. Reception is really smooth and of fine quality.
But what makes quisk switch between receive and transmit is distributed over various pieces of code and the terminology 'key' and 'ptt'.
Key in my idea has to do with CW, and PTT with activating the transmitter, regardless of mode, but quisk seems to use 'key' in some code where ptt is meant , or v.v.
on its GUI's PTT box (the box can turn red on python GUI level without the C code that does the hard streaming and FFT work ever knowing it).
Yes I have noticed that too. I've been scratching my head over it quite long but I think I found an explanation.
I think the idea is to use a simple CW key, because if you select CW mode in quisk, it always transmits a carrier when PTT is pressed. So the key would control tx mode, which would then control the CW signal. That's not a great way to do CW with this transceiver, it's more like a duct-tape solution.
I have included my hardware file. I think yours is missing OnButtonPTT, in that case the PTT button is disabled from the GUI.
Thanks; yes, your quisk code works, and so does the code I made, I discovered. It is indeed the usb streaming that is causing the problem. Adding plughw, i.s.o. hw: makes the difference but in my first trials it did not work first time on TX. Will experiment further this weekend.

I talked with Jim and he's changing Quisk to bypass the USB error.
Linux audio is pure, distilled madness. I've been using PortAudio lately which seems to bypass some of the crazy.
The transmitter function is not working properly and would like to ask for advice which part might be causing this.
The symptoms: in CW mode a carrier is produced that has very wide sidebands with a multitide of carriers, 1 kHz apart.
When I switch the receiver that monitors the Peaberry signal to AM mode the CW carrier appears modulated with a 1kHz tone that sounds quite distorted.
Could you describe your setup, and how you are measuring the signals?
Also, does the audio output of the peaberry work? If the speakers work fine, then you can already rule out part of the circuit.
the VU meter jumps to 30-40% but the audio is only there extremely weak, barely audible with your ear 'in the speaker'. The little I hear sounds undistorted though, just extremely weak.
Am using latest quisk and a kenwood transceiver to listen to the Peaberry that is connected to a 50 ohm dummy load.
On reading the posts regarding problems with the Peaberry, I get the impression that most problems are self-inflicted.
1. A properly built Peaberry works 'out of the box' under Windows with HDSDR if you use the patches (.lib and .dll) provided by AE9RB.
2. If you prefer Linux and Quisk, get the latest Quisk version 3.6.10 (and nothing else) from the home page of N2ADR. This version is already patched for the Peaberry and has a quisk_config_peaberry configuration example which only has to be adapted as regards the soundcard situation. This also works 'out of the box' unless you have a subst-andard PC like my EeePC 900 I am using in the car. In the latter case, you have to use the alsa-functions for the two 'capture' configurations and portaudio-functions for the two 'play' configurations and possibly to increase the latency.
3. For cw, use the key0 socket like with any softrock design and not any button of the respective programs. Using the return key on your computer for cw is quite akward. For SSB use for your comfort a dynamic microphone with a PTT switch for grounding the ring terminal of the microphone socket after replacing R14 by a series combination of the input side of an optocoppler and a lower value resistor (depending on the optocoupler used). The output of the optocouler then is used for shorting key0 to ground for PTT.
4. Wide sidebands and a multitude of carriers on tx are almost always caused by a weak power supply which gives in on transmit when it has to supply nearly 0.5 A.
The Peaberry should have a constant noise free supply of at least 13V.
If you take care of the above points, you should have now problems wit a properly built Peaberry.

AI can now predict and guarantee the results of influencer marketing programs
Is influencer marketing just another PR tactic or can it really be scaled into a credible media channel with AI?
Written by Eileen Brown, Contributor

Eileen Brown is a social business consultant who has been working with collaborative technologies for 20 years.
Posted in Social Business on August 31, 2017 | Topic: Artificial Intelligence
Experts think AI will automate all human jobs within 120 years
Influencer marketing has traditionally been viewed as a way to increase awareness and drive engagement around a brand. It can be really effective too when campaigns and influencers are utilised well.
Special Feaure
The Industry Cloud: Why It's Next
Coud computing has engulfed lots of IT, but one of the untapped regions of the tech and business world is the industry cloud, focusing on vertical industries and more specialized applications.
This year 78 percent of marketers say that trying to work out their ROI is their top influencer marketing challenge this year.
Many platforms claim to use artificial intelligence (AI) -- it is the new buzzword, and brands are trying to embed AI into their marketing offering. However, it is important to understand how that AI is being applied and whether it is effective.
AI should be used for more than simple data processing. Effective AI can analyse billions of data points and produce worth-while insights
San Francisco, Calif.-based content marketing platform Linqia recently released its new platform that is intended to transform and scale influencer marketing.
The platform uses machine learning to analyze influencer content, determine brand affinity, and identify patterns that can predict an influencer's success based on the brand's goals.
Machine learning will enable the platform to scale and increase engagement. It will enable customers to reach specific demographic and geographic segments across the US and target influencer audiences by age, ethnicity, location, education level, and annual income.
Linqia reported that, in initial programs run through the platform, it drove 51 percent more engagement over the course of four flights through AI-driven insights and optimizations compared to single flight campaigns.
Nader Alizadeh, co-founder and CEO for Linqia, said: "There are two billion monthly active users on Facebook, 700 million on Instagram, 328 million on Twitter, 255 million on Snapchat and millions of blogs. Every touchpoint is a potential authentic impression for a brand. The only way to approach this ecosystem is to treat it as a big data problem."
Linqia said that its Performance platform, which also serves as a social content platform, gives marketers with a content-audience 'blueprint' that is "guaranteed to perform better than untested content."
Another influencer marketing company, Open Influence, has launched OpenWorks, which offers a suite of tools for smaller brands and those new to influencer marketing.
It uses Amazon Rekognition and other AI tools to analyze content from over 300,000 influencers, and it enables brands to identify new influencers and build their own influencer community around their needs.
AI-driven sentiment analysis can let brands know how their message is being received in market. Furthermore, there are safety features in the Linqia platform that help ensure Federal Trade Commission (FTC) disclosure on blog posts. If there is an issue, the platform flags social posts that are not compliant so they can be addressed.
Product discovery site Influenster also uses what it calls an automated real-time disclosure monitor tool that checks for users' social media compliance to FTC guidelines live.
It says that its product 'makes sure' that unpaid posts (where influencers receive products for free to test and review) abide by proper disclosure. It also uses machine learning to detect language sentiment in each social post to identify disclosure definitively.
Brands need to be smarter in their content strategy to capture the hearts and minds of their audience.
They need to be able to reach micro-segments of the population with different variations of their message during campaigns.
This ensures that the message will reach consumers when they are the most receptive. It looks like AI will help brands to become smart.

About LLS Who We Are Our Commitment
Curing Blood Cancer Needs Every One of Us
At The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), advocacy is in our blood. We are a vibrant community of researchers, volunteers, philanthropists, advocates, healthcare professionals, and nonprofit leaders.
Each day, we fight to find cures for blood cancers and help every patient access the care they need to survive and thrive. We believe our individual backgrounds, identities, abilities, and experiences are our greatest sources of creativity and innovation as we work together to create a more equitable world without blood cancer.
We stand for equal treatment, equal opportunities, and equal rights for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), people with disabilities, Hispanics and Latinx, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, veterans, women, and other underrepresented groups.
Together, we are working tirelessly to create pathways for equity for our staff, our volunteers, and our communities, while driving forward change that honors our mission and stands against systemic racism and injustice in all its forms. We are determined to break down barriers and address the needs of underserved populations. To date, we have pioneered advances in treatment that stem from a diverse ecosystem. By bringing together different perspectives, backgrounds, and thinking, we are fueling innovative breakthroughs that are a life force for blood cancer patients and their families who deserve to receive the best care and support possible.
At LLS, it is important that our teams reflect the communities we serve. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome, seen, and heard. We grow stronger when we embrace and learn from our differences. At the same time, we recognize that our shared identities unite us, creating a sense of belonging.
We believe in continuous improvement, and we know we have more to do. As the global leader in the fight to end blood cancers, finding cures for all people impacted by these diseases is in our DNA. We will continue to educate ourselves, engage in difficult conversations, and hold ourselves and each other accountable.
Because curing blood cancer needs every one of us. Join us today.
CHAMPIONING DIVERSITY, EQUITY, & INCLUSION AT LLS
DRIVING EQUITABLE ACCESS TO CARE THROUGH OUR MISSION
LLS is dedicated to addressing gaps in cancer outcomes and healthcare that disproportionately impact minority and rural communities and other underserved populations. Learn how our multifaceted efforts across research, education and support, and advocacy are breaking down barriers to care. With your help, we want to do even more.
MYELOMA LINK
The incidence of myeloma is twice as high among Black Americans as among white Americans, and Black patients are less likely to have access to timely, optimal treatment and care. Carried out by staff and volunteers in 13 Black communities across the country, Myeloma Link directly connects community members to free myeloma information and support, as well as treatment and care.

In the recent time, Ultra Refined Follicular Unit Transplantation has become one of the leading and successful hair restoration techniques. Microscopic Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation technique involves using high powered surgical microscopes to divide the donor strip into its natural hair growth units. Ultra refined grafting is achieved by using the microscope to make grafts and therefore making smaller incisions. Today's micro surgical blades and also the size of hair grafts have become smaller and now allow an experienced hair transplant doctor to securely create more tiny graft incisions in any given area than ever before.
It is critical to choose an appropriate physician to perform your hair transplant surgery. All of the today's advanced techniques of hair transplant have to be performed by highly qualified and skilled physicians with a comprehensive experience in hair transplantation. A good doctor will do a great job, but if you will fall into the hands of a bad practitioner, you will have to treat your "successful surgery" consequences till the end of your days. Therefore, each person that considers hair transplant has to be sure in the experience and qualification of their doctor.
Your not telling us nothing new,this information can be found on hairsite,without the link to your website.
It is the traditional technique of Hair transplant & is also known as the strip method . Under this technique, the entire strip of hair tissue is removed from the donor area. This strip is then cut under microscopes into individual 'grafts' containing hair roots. These roots are planted on the balding region. The area of scalp from where the strip is taken is sutured and this wound heals in a week or two.
FUE technique is also known as one-by-one removal method . In this technique, individual hair grafts are harvested from the donor area using fine punches of caliber less than 1mm and are stored for about 3-6 hours in a storage solution. Slits are then created in the balding region and stored grafts are transplanted into those slits. The site from where the grafts are taken heals in 2-4 days without apparent scarring.
According to a popular study, if hair grafts are stored outside the body, then every hour of storage 1-2% of grafts die. So, in FUE approximately 6-12% of the grafts die because of storage.
Direct Hair Transplant is the modification of FUE technique. In DHT, first slits are created in the balding region. Then the grafts are harvested and simultaneously transplanted to the balding region within few minutes. As it eliminates the need for storing the grafts and so reduces the body out time, therefore it ensures 100% graft survival rate.

Why We Give While We Live
In October 2020, the Woodard & Curran foundation marked a decade of doing good. The Foundation was born out of creative thinking and dedication of Woodard & Curran employees who wanted to contribute in a meaningful way to a sustainable future and further our vision of exemplary corporate citizenship. Since its establishment as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Foundation has steadily grown, issuing a sum of $790,000 in grants to date, and leveraging the professional talents and personal passions of our community to position the Foundation as a leader in environmental nonprofit funding. At the heart of it all, Woodard & Curran employees donate and volunteer to help forward the Foundation's mission.
The Foundation's grantmaking has grown from one $5,000 grant in 2011 to 13 grants totaling nearly $176,000 in 2020. Each year, Woodard & Curran employees pledge financial support of the Foundation. In 2020, the company also met its goal to match 100 percent of employee contributions – up from $17,000 in 2012 to a commitment of nearly $112,000 for 2021. The growth in giving is rooted in the Foundation's "Giving While Living" philosophy to give away as much money as possible while still maintaining a healthy endowment. Annually, the Foundation issues two forms of grants:
One Impact Grant totaling $100,000 over the course of three years to support innovative projects to protect the water and environment; and
Numerous Giving While Living Grants awarded to employee-nominated organizations across the country dedicated to environmental issues.
The sixth Impact Grant was awarded last year, along with 10 Giving While Living Grants totaling $100,000.
Impact Grant recipients submit detailed applications that are vetted and reviewed by the Foundation's Giving Committee. The competitive pool of candidates is narrowed down to a few finalists who are interviewed before the committee makes a recommendation to the Foundation's Board of Directors. The Foundation hopes these Impact Grants will be donor-nominated in the future, while also continuing to seek employee nominations and voting on the Giving While Living Grant recipients.
As the Foundation and its giving has grown, so has the workload of the volunteer-led organization. The Foundation hired a part-time contractor in 2017 to handle administration, communication, and donor and grant recipient relations. The remainder of the Foundation's work continues to be conducted by a group of dedicated volunteers. Past and present members of the Board, staff, and volunteers are eager to spread awareness of the Foundation's giving and the impact each grant has on the communities where we work across the country.
