Andrew Callaghan Interviews the Most Controversial People in America on 'All Gas No Brakes'
Neo Nazi's, Furries, Flat Earthers, UFO Hunters, for Andrew Callaghan they all got something to say
Update 4/15/2021: After announcing in March that they had parted ways with former backers Doing Things Media — over contract disputes and disagreements about the political nature of their content — the All Gas No Brakes crew have returned as Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan.
Having lost access to their old content and revenue streams, the team are hoping to rebuild, and have just dropped their first video on the new channel, delving into this year's spring break chaos in Miami Beach, Florida.
Miami Beach Spring Break www.youtube.com
Andrew Callaghan has always been drawn to the absurd.
Born and raised in Seattle, the budding Internet star and host of the web series All Gas No Brakes described himself as a mischievous teenager. A "fourteen-year-old stoner" who divided his time between "anarchists and hip-hop kids," he regularly found himself surrounded by unsavory characters.
During his freshman year of high school, Callaghan enrolled in a journalism class, and his teacher actively encouraged him to write on the seedy lifestyle he experienced.
"I was already getting myself into weird, sketchy shit for my own enjoyment," Callaghan told me. "So being able to have a platform to share those experiences was like the ultimate gratification."
Callaghan wrote investigative op-eds on how to access the Deep Web and described how to buy drugs off the now-defunct Silk Road. He talked first-hand about life inside Seattle's tent city during the Occupy movement and about his experiences hanging out with Juggalos in Seattle's sleazy Westlake Center. His classmates and his teacher were fascinated.
Callaghan, who travels around the country in a beat-up RV and interviews people, has somehow made a career out of meeting America's strangest characters. Trump supporters, Flat Earthers, Furries, UFO Hunters ––he's even met Diplo.
While Callaghan regularly hears and sees abhorrent things on the road, he has an uncanny ability to remain completely unfazed. He often lulls his subjects into a false sense of security.
"I call it hyper-agreement," he said. "Just don't be a dick, and validate your interviewee with aggressive head nods and inquisitive facial expressions." It's a similar tactic to what you might see on "The Daily Show" with their 'man on the street' segments.

During the tense Anti-Antifa rally in Portland, Oregon, last summer, Callaghan became partially embroiled in an absolutely ludicrous standoff between a white supremacist and an Antifa supporter. "[Antifa] needs to go the hell away," said Callaghan's interviewee. "We need to go the hell away from our city?" called out a bystander on his bicycle, "F*ck you." As the two squared off, Callaghan documented it all, his microphone seen in the corner of the screen.
Even when things go off the rails, Callaghan somehow remains fearless. "You just can't convince certain people of certain things, especially when they believe that public information is controlled by nefarious puppet masters," he said. "Things often go wrong afterward. I've gotten a handful of lawsuit threats...frat bros try to fight me."
In fact, it's in the quieter moments that Callaghan struggles to keep his composure. At the 2019 Flat Earth Conference in Dallas, Texas, three separate Flat Earthers justified their beliefs by quoting Protocols of the Elders of Zion a propaganda book used by Hitler in the 1930s to sway public opinion against the Jewish people.
"I had a hard time holding my tongue," he admits.
While All Gas No Brakes is still in its early stages (he recently asked his fans for donations so he could start to put together a production team), Callaghan has amassed years of experience interviewing off-putting characters. At nineteen, Callaghan hitchhiked across the country for 70 days completely alone.
"After I took my last final, I basically sprinted out of campus," he told Office Magazine. "I left everything in my dorm, all of my stuff...I just didn't even think about it."
When his adventure ended, he composed an online zine, fittingly titled All Gas No Brakes, where he wrote on a few of his most noteworthy encounters.
From there, he wound up working as a doorman on New Orleans' infamous Bourbon Street. "I always thought of Bourbon Street as the last frontier of anarchy in the western world," he told Office. "It's this backward city of corrupt institutions. People come here from all across the world and they get possessed by this spirit...you're truly able to see what humans are like in their raw form."
One day, he abruptly quit his job and decided to document what he was seeing in a "smart and funny way." He became the anchor of "Quarter Confessions," a relatively popular Instagram and YouTube channel that documents drunk people on Bourbon Street. "Sometimes I miss the consistent, chaotic simplicity of Bourbon Street," Callaghan told me. "But [the yelling] got old."
As All Gas No Brakes has gained traction. The show has garnered the attention of a few notable celebrities, such as millionaire playboy Dan Bilzerian. "He's a fan and a mega-tool," Callaghan said of the infamous poker player.
The two were scheduled to meet up while Callaghan was filming in Las Vegas. Bilzerian thought it'd be fun to crash a party together. "[He] flaked at the eleventh hour with a text that read, 'sorry bro, I think I'm gonna smoke and bang these girls,'" Callaghan said.
"I could roast him further, but that's enough said. Dude's corny, take my word for it."
As the show has grown, Callaghan has somehow managed to turn a handful of his subjects into reoccurring characters, almost like it's a sitcom. On his most recent trip to Las Vegas, he hit the strip with Mr. Daddy and Luchi, two strange men he had met on two separate occasions a few months prior.
"I like the idea of recurring characters," he said. "Plus [they] embody two staunchly different but equally essential Vegas character types–the unstoppable coke dive and the aspiring promoter who whispers sweet dreams of exotic cars, Versace robes and 7 to 1 gender ratios [at parties.]"
Moments like this are everything to Callaghan. "Every day is a new adventure and because of the show, I have friends everywhere." While his passion project is only just starting to take off, Callaghan already has enough stories to fill a memoir. He's seen Juggalos pee on each other's heads at Mike Busey's Sausage Castle in Orlando, Florida.
He interviewed Kimberly Guilfoyle at Donald Trump Jr's book signing, as well as a woman who referred to the LGBTQ community as "witches" and proudly believed that people should only date within their race.
"Just today I crashed the press conference at the AVN awards, where I asked [adult film star] Alexis Texas if she's ever worried she won't get gifts at Christmas if her family sees she's been naughty."
He hopes to one day see All Gas No Brakes become its own "gonzo" journalism show, but for now, he's just focused on interviewing a man named Daryll. "[He] believes he's an alien named Bashar."

In an auction next week, Austria is set to issue USD 1.35 Billion in government bonds on the Ethereum blockchain. OEKB, one of Austria's largest banks, is set to manage the Ethereum blockchain service and facilitate the government bond auction.
The government bond auction is scheduled for October 2nd, and the bond will be issued by OEKB on behalf of the Austrian Treasury (OeBFA). It is important to note that this system does not go as far as to issue bonds on the blockchain but functions more like an accounting/notarization service. However, it is generally regarded as having benefits that will reduce costs and enhance the overall government bond infrastructure in Austria.
Austria is certainly not the first government to implement bonds on the blockchain, though the use of the Ethereum blockchain is distinct from other services such as the Fabric Hyperledger, which was the underlying technology used by state-owned Sberbank in Russia when they launched their commercial bonds.
The World Bank and Common Wealth Bank of Australia are also working on a joint initiative to facilitate the sale of a public bond entirely on the blockchain. The issuance of this two-year public bond is worth around USD 75 Million with a 2.25% return. The name of this global blockchain bond is "bond-i", and the bond is to be issued in Australian Dollars.


I, Brad Baughman nominate senior golfer Ashley Masteller for "Athlete of the Month". Ashley has had a phenomenal August that culminated with her winning the WIC championships at Forest Park Golf Course in Brazil, Indiana. The weekend prior to that, she finished fourth in the Jasper Invitational. She has been the medalist in six of our dual or three way matches and leads the team with a nine hole stroke average of 42.0. She is our first WIC golf individual champion, male or female, ever.


"OK, they are cutting into you."
"They are cutting through fat."
"They are STILL cutting through fat."
And finally, in the midst of all the talk about my fat, I heard her cry out. It was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. I could see her across the room as they cleaned her little body. She was kicking her foot and screaming. When she was brought to me, while I still laid on the operating table, I rubbed my finger against her cheek and stared deep into her eyes. She stopped crying and stared back...and all was right in the world. Here was my beautiful baby girl. The nurses called her Peanut. I called her Noelle.
After her Dad and I divorced, there were times I didn't get to spend her actual birthday with her, but that was okay. We would chose a different day to celebrate. After she began to realize that her Dad's family would celebrate her birthday on Thanksgiving, it became her favorite holiday. Pumpkin pie and presents!
This year, Noelle will not be here with us for her 19th birthday party. Her body lies six feet underground, while her soul dances down streets of gold.
The hardest thing for me to come to terms with in regards to Noelle's death is that she didn't get to experience all the things in life that I had hoped for her.
The scariest thing about her death is that she will be forgotten.
The saddest thing is that she touched so many people's lives in her short 18 years. Who knows what she could have gone on to do had she lived?
I can't breathe life back into her body, but we all can let her memory live on through us. Hence #liveonnoelle. Even if you never met my daughter, when you experience something new, or even something mundane, take a selfie (you know you are doing it anyway) and use #liveonnoelle, tweet it to her page @noellenicolenew so that Noelle can experience life through you. And so you can make a grieving Mom smile.
She will never be forgotten to those that ever met her sweet face.
I got to meet the beautiful Noelle when she was in grade school at Victory Life Academy! I will never forget her kindness and that beautiful smile! She was a pleasure to have in my pe class! My heart breaks for you and the rest of her family! May God bring you peace!

Das Dokumentationszentrum Alltagskultur der DDR in Eisenhüttenstadt widmet sich der Kultur-, Sozial- und Alltagsgeschichte sowie der Wohn- und Alltagskultur in der DDR.

Geschichte

Das Museum wurde 1993 gegründet, um die materielle Kultur des Alltags in der DDR zu sichern und für Ausstellungen, Forschung und Bildung bereitzustellen. Seitdem wurden etwa 170.000 Gegenstände aus dem ostdeutschen Alltag – von Hausrat über Bekleidung und Möbel bis zu Schallplatten, Büchern, Urkunden und Fotografien – gesammelt. Eine Fachbibliothek ermöglicht Einsichtnahme in Publikationen aus der DDR und der neueren Literatur.

Das Dokumentationszentrum befindet sich in einer denkmalgerecht sanierten ehemaligen Kinderkrippe im Zentrum der seit 1951 erbauten Modellstadt Eisenhüttenstadt. Es zeigt seit 1995 wechselnde Ausstellungen, 2012 wurde die Dauerausstellung grundlegend neu konzipiert. Das Haus wird jährlich von 6.000 bis 10.000 Gästen besucht. Seine Ausstellungen werden auch in anderen Bundesländern gezeigt. Leiter des Museums war von 1993 bis 2012 Andreas Ludwig. Seit Anfang 2018 leitet Florentine Nadolni das Museum sowie das Kunstarchiv Beeskow.

Trägerschaft
Das Dokumentationszentrum war zunächst eine kommunale Einrichtung und wurde von 1998 bis 2012 von einem gemeinnützigen Verein getragen. Gefördert wurde das Dokumentationszentrums vom Land Brandenburg, dem Landkreis Oder-Spree und der Stadt Eisenhüttenstadt. Seit 2013 erhält es finanzielle Unterstützung nur noch vom Land Brandenburg und dem Landkreis Oder-Spree. Der Deutsche Kulturrat hatte es im Sommer 2012 auf die Rote Liste Kultur (Kategorie 1) gesetzt, da es als von Schließung bedroht galt. Von 2013 bis 2015 wurde es wieder von der Stadt Eisenhüttenstadt getragen und erweiterte seither das museumspädagogische Angebot sowie das thematische Spektrum durch Sonderausstellungen. Am 1. Januar 2016 wurde die Trägerschaft der Einrichtung durch den Landkreis Oder-Spree übernommen.

Might someone please explain how the 'first' occurrence of anything can be considered 'classic'? I thought not. But let's put grammar aside on this Super Bowl 50 weekend, and pay tribute to the short-lived Refrigerator Bowl, which was held in Evansville, Indiana from 1948 through 1956. The inaugural game pitted the hometown Purple Aces [the eventual victors] against the Missouri Valley Vikings. Contemplating the program for that contest, I'm intrigued by the rays of energy emitted by the fridge—are they defensive or offensive forces?


Is Your Firm an Elephant or a Cheetah?
The marketplace is changing. Big firms like AECOM are getting bigger and becoming "one-stop shops" so how can small landscape architecture firms of around 30-40 people compete? How can these small firms accept the "risks and liabilities" associated with increasingly complex projects?
Each firm described their own current predicament: OLIN has grown through the recession and is 35 years old. There are now 11 partners but the main question is one of succession with the expected retirement of Laurie Olin, FASLA, one of the world's leading landscape architects. Martha Schwartz, whose firm yo-yos between 30 and 70 people, said she has worked her way out of the U.S. and now does most of her work in Europe and the Middle East. In contrast to her earlier work, she now focuses on "sustainable strategies bigger than the site scale." James Corner's office has about 35-45 people. From 1998 to 2011, he grew very quickly, adding about 25 people. The lead designer of the High Line park, Corner focuses on "complex projects in the public realm." Peter Walker, landscape architect behind the new 9/11 memorial in New York City, has around 35 people, "goes where the projects are," but usually focuses on "slow, big, public" projects. West 8 has around ten staff in New York and another 50 in the Netherlands.
When Corner was starting out as an intern, he worked on the Royal Dock Works project in London. In one of the early examples of a multidisciplinary project, there were architects, landscape architects, ecologists, transportation engineers. However, "nobody could speak outside their disciplines. No one was listening to anyone else. There was lots of scoffing." This was because "no one had been trained to deal with these projects. Nobody could orchestrate a bigger synthesis." Corner said this is where "we need to target the entire field" because there's "something about our creativity. We are good listeners, work well with systems, and are not control freaks." Furthermore, a "smart landscape architect can offer more direction and orchestration," and not just add in the trees at the end of the project.
Schwartz agreed, adding that "big firms can't go where we go" providing "strategic conceptual approaches." Landscape architects are focused on "systems but also materials, the texture of projects." However, she also said big firms, unlike smaller ones, can get "infrastructure going, they can get a beachhead into places like China." Then, once they create the ecosystem, the "little animals" (i.e. smaller firms like hers) can benefit and come in. She added that mass-produced landscapes aren't possible – the conditions are "so different, variable" so in that sense, there would always be work for firms that do quality work.
How Can Small Firms Get the Edge?
Schwartz thinks that "design has to be exemplary to beat AECOM." Gueze at West 8 said that a design "needs to be outstanding. It can't be mediocre. To get a job, you have to deliver." It also pays to have a network. "You have to know people. There's not just one client. They have issues, communities, problems they are dealing with." Furthermore, "you need to have outstanding rhetorical quality. You need words, metaphors because your ideas will be constantly undermined." He believes that this is not related to firm size.
Corner thinks that's of course true but wanted to focus on "management structures," arguing that "structures can give us a shot" at the big projects.
Walker seemed to disagree, arguing that he's "resentful of people who say the profession should do this or that," adding that Corner can "go big if he wants" and scale up his practice to take on the big firms.
"There are lots of assumptions about the motivation of our office," Sanders said, if the firm grows larger. "We understand people's profit agendas but it's a personal decision to decide to go big or small." She thinks there are also other agendas: "It's not always about making money." Large firms don't make more profit than smaller firms as a percentage of revenue.
Where do your firms need to go?
"Everyone is up here because we invented something. We create value, edge, and that moves the culture forward," said Schwartz, and this is increasingly something that clients want. As a whole, she said landscape architects are far better now than 30 years ago in meeting the needs of clients.
OLIN is more focused on growing its own people. "To do this creatively, effectively, it takes concerted effort." Sanders' firm is focused on "creating places for people," and will always value quality. To ensure this, the firm has started a research department to "compliment, bolster our efforts, enriching our conversations with clients." OLIN wants to make sure their senior people are credible.
Where does landscape architecture need to go?

Don't Count Out the Over 30 Entrepreneur
One of the Founders that Xceleration works with stated that he generally didn't let folks, especially venture capital investors, know that he is over 30, because startup tended to be a "youth oriented" culture. (He also mentioned investors tend to like to work with younger folks, as they're not as - how do we put this nicely - savvy).
Being an entrepreneur over 30, this comment really stuck with me. I was fortunate to run into one of my heroes on a recent trip to Orlando - Gru.
Left to Right: Gru and Aki. Two entrepreneurs over 30.
Gru is really the epitomy of the over 30 inventor and entrepreneur seemingly outstripped by his younger nemesis, Vector.
SPOILER ALERT, IF YOU DON'T KNOW GRU'S STORY:
as told in Despicable Me - based on Gru's lifestory.
If you recall the story, Gru's pride is injured when another villain (Vector) is able to steal the Great Pyramid of Giza, which even impresses Gru's henchman, Dr. Nefario. Vowing to outdo the younger villain, Gru decides to pursue his childhood dream (and impress his mother) by plotting to steal the moon (see Shooting the Moon with Xceleration post)
Gru's plans are nearly thwarted when he visits the bank to apply for a loan, where the banker initially gives Gru a conditional loan IF he can steal the necessary shrink ray for the caper, but eventually outright denies Gru the loan. (Sound familiar boys and girls? Invest in youth, rather than those old folks. . . Cautionary tale of chasing unicorns).
Shrink Ray (from Despiscable Me Wiki)
Fast-forward, Gru encounters 3 orphan girls (Margo, Edith, and Agnes) and despite the initial false pretences for the meeting, the the story ends with Gru adopting the 3 girls after realizing that there is more to life than just the inventions and creating bigger and better capers. In the end, it's about the love and support of the people around you. (Oh yeah, Gru sacrifices everything and does steal the moon, but not before his nemesis - Vector -, kidnapping the girls, blackmailing Gru for the moon and ultimately double crossing Gru. Fortunately, as the story goes, Vector gets his comeuppance).
Though the over 30 entrepreneur may have a couple more distractions in life (wife/husband and kids and juggle a busy schedule) but they certainly make up for it in other ways, just like Gru. So next time you meet an over 30 entrepreneur, don't count them out. You never know if they'll be just as capable as Gru and also lead a double life as parent, coach, and spouse. The variety of and breadth of experience can be an added bonus to any venture.


On a beautifully sunny Autumn afternoon I drove down the long drive away from the road, and through the neighbouring fields, to arrive at Ashdown House for the warmest of welcomes. Haydon Moore, the Headmaster, came out to meet me as I strolled towards the main building of the school, and then escorted me to his office made homely by a blazing fire in the hearth. My welcome was enhanced on our way by a meeting with Charles and Camilla, the two resident bronze turkeys – named after the Head of History and his fiancé – a wonderful addition to the community!
The views from the front of the historic main house, designed and built by world renowned architect Benjamin Latrobe, spread out over the playing fields towards the East Sussex countryside beyond. Children around the school were either participating in matches or enjoying chosen activities both indoors and out. In free time, happiness is climbing trees here at Ashdown House, and many have their own names – Spaghetti tree, Lava bush and Love tree to name a few. We sat in the Headmaster's study for a little while, joined by Annie, the Headmaster's wife, with this wonderful backdrop, discussing the virtues of a boarding education with the firm family unity and feel that Ashdown House prides itself on throughout the school. Increasing numbers portray this success. And Haydon and Annie are both very involved – the family live in a flat above the main school during term time.
Our subsequent tour of the school began with the beautiful chapel. A place of serenity in the centre of a busy school, the door is always open. We then continued on a circuit taking in the dining hall (increasingly organic meals, with salt and sugar intake being reduced), the theatre and music rooms, passing the art department and into a few classrooms. These are due for further modernisation very soon. A dedicated Learning Support 'Log Cabin' offers help where needed including EAL if required. A look in the sports hall and a glance at the lovely indoor swimming pool, then led to a visit to the dormitories of which the school is clearly, and quite rightly, very proud. An extremely homely environment was evident, all set on landings for both boys and girls, each with a cosy, youthfully decorated common space including very popular mineral water dispensers ensuring the consumption of large quantities of water. All parents reportedly love this initiative – and I'm not surprised! Boarding is strong at Ashdown House and most do so full time in their final years as they prepare for senior school. Flexi boarding mid week is also available, often enjoyed by more junior children as they are introduced to the experience. Fixed exeats and 'floating' weekends allow the children to get home regularly, and there are plenty of evening and weekend activities whilst at school.
The school believes in a wide breadth of education, and personal development through free time and activities, thus fuelling academic success and fulfilment of potential. Top scholarships are regularly achieved where deserved, but the emphasis is on a balanced education. Teaching is nevertheless progressive and Mandarin is now introduced from a young age. Leavers go to a wide range of senior schools across the country (all to their first choice) including the most prestigious. Art, DT, Music and Drama all thrive here – the product of these departments is evident everywhere – and Ashdown is able to offer stays in a French Chateau and outward bound opportunities (coupled with studying science and geography) in Dorset. A wealth of opportunities for all.
Ashdown House exudes warmth and happiness throughout its extended family, between staff, children, parents and whole families. The evidence is clear to see.

Parts of the roof susceptible to leak are the joints between the roof and the roof installed structures, such as the chimney. The joint in between the roof and a vertical wall; and the joint between two slopping sections – valleys.

In the attic, begin above the ceiling leak and follow the water discolorations on the deck to the prospective source. Expect a ray of sunlight to indicate a nail hole.
Have a pal hose down the roof while you enjoy the leakage from the within the attic.
If you discover a hole, mark the area by using a wire hanger through the hole. Make sure your buddy has the ability to locate the wire hanger on the top of the roof.
When you try to find leakage on asphalt shingles, start by looking for broken shingles with dark spots in them. This suggests loss of surface granules. Look also for curled and harmed shingles.
For those in Melvin, on a roof with a valley, clean out all particles collected in the valley. Look for broken or missing flashing product.
A recognizable stain is the mold or moisture around the vents, chimneys, and skylights. These are the crossways where water links. After finding the dripping locations, it is necessary to move disposable products such as electronic devices, furnishings, and other home devices in addition to catching the leakage in a pail. We have seen the movies where buckets are located every other foot in the home; do not let this occur to your roof. Determining the spots and areas are the primary steps to saving your home from damaged goods by basic leaks. Your roofer will explain the essential requirements to ensure your possessions are safe while inspecting the condition of the ceiling prior to repair.

Some cases such as the one pointed out below is an easy, easy-to-do repair you can finish to remove persistent leaks.
Take a little lever to remove the shingle in concern then layer a thick hint of tar throughout the location. Nail the shingle pull back then cover the whole shingle in tar. If you can not use the same nail holes, location tar within and on top of the holes to avoid leak through the deck. Before you are done, location another thin layer of tar on the underside of the shingles simply for safe-keeping. You should see a change in the area and the leakage ought to end after the tar is used appropriately.
Roofing repairs can be a pricey financial investment for any house owner. You can restrict the damage to your home by acting early.

Q: Is it possible to guess this solution just by looking at the system?
Show that, if a projectile is shot from a height $h$ with speed $v_0$, the maximum range is obtained for launch angle $\theta=\arctan\left(\dfrac{v_0}{\sqrt{2gh+v_0^2}}\right)$

For the problem shown above, I noticed how the numerator is the initial speed and the denominator is the final speed, and so I wonder if there's a way to solve this problem through some sort of physical insight and simple geometry maybe? I tried thinking for quite a while but I couldn't find an answer as to why the maximum range angle is the arctan of the ratio of the start and end speeds.

My recent acquisition of a few new toys has inspired me to delve into YouTube land.
I keep seeing these demo videos online of synth-enthusiasts performing real-time playback of an intricate network of sequencers and synths….Korg Volcas, Arturia Minibrutes, Moog Modulars and the like. I can't say that it's been a style or approach I'm super familiar with, but they're interesting to watch.
I picked up a Korg MS-20 (mini) and Arp Odyssey (reissue), thinking these would be a good hardware addition to my studio. I'm so used to using software these days that I thought a little bit of a shake-up was in order. These two synths require a knowledge of subtractive synthesis programming, and can be a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. Real-time manipulation of sounds is great for coming up with new sonic ideas, and really expands the capabilities of my own setup. Plus, neither of these instruments has any preset program memory, so you have to know how to program it in order to get different sounds.
The next addition was the Korg SQ-1 sequencer, which is surprisingly powerful considering it's size. This thing really opened up some doors for me. I can trigger multiple synths from this device, while playing other instruments. And with the semi-modular patch bay on the Korg MS-20, there's all sorts of crazy sounds that you can create with it. It also got me into thinking about the built-in arpeggiators that were already features a some of my existing synths (such as the Alesis Ion and Korg Prophecy).
A few weeks later, I became enamored of the Moog Mother 32 (especially the sale price I found at a local music store). Like the MS-20, the Mother 32 has a flexible patch bay (32 points), and a built-in sequencer, and capable of some pretty crazy sounds. In this video, I'm using the Mother 32 strictly for the sequenced bassline.
Lastly, I had to pick up one of the Roland boutique desktop synths, the JU-06, which is a modern re-imagining of the classic Juno 106. While limited in terms of polyphony (only 4-voice as opposed to 6-voice), and lacking a physical portamento knob, the JU-06 is a pretty faithful recreation of the original.
After collecting all my new toys, I decided to take a stab at pulling off some live "synth jams" and video taping them. This is the third one I've tried, and I'm still learning about good camera angles and editing (which another topic entirely I think). The other two pieces in the series ("Wires," parts 1 and part 2) aren't as interesting, but have some fun sounds. Naturally, I had to use the entire setup (which includes a Yamaha DX27S, Yamaha P200 stage piano, Moog Little Phatty, an Alesis QSR, and my newly-tuned 1972 Fender Rhodes Mark 1 Stage 73). The Yamaha Motif 7 and MO6 shown are not being used this time around.
This piece isn't entirely improvised (I rehearsed a few chord changes and demoed some sounds first), but it's otherwise live and raw. Just recorded direct into Logic.
Also, I could resist the temptation to cheese it up with the 80's neon grid background.
Anyway, would love to get some feedback and even some suggestions on how to improve the setup, the video, or anything else. Hope you all enjoy it!
I recently produced a 4-part demo screencast describing my keyboard setup I use for "Piano Men," which is an Elton John/Billy Joel tribute band that I play with. It's bit long (around 35 minutes altogether), but I'm trying to get the hang of producing these videos. It's pretty thorough (I go into all the hardware, software, and synth plugins I use). Hopefully more to come in the future! Would love to get your feedback!
Atlanta-based keyboard player and tech Eric Frampton gives a detailed explanation of how he restored his classic Rhodes Chroma. He also offers a demo of the various factory presets, and does a shootout with a classic MemoryMoog!
This last year, I had the good fortune to catch up with my friend and fellow keyboardist, Eric Frampton, for a series of in-depth conversations about his impressive array of vintage synthesizers and keyboard instruments! Eric, who's worked with Paul Simon, the B-52's, Yanni, and Mother's Finest, gives some great information and demonstrations on his Rhodes Suitcase Mark II, an Oberheim 4-Voice, a MemoryMoog, a Prophet 10, and a Rhodes Chroma.
In a forth-coming series (to be posted very soon), Eric digs even deeper into the Rhodes Chroma, which (at the time of this filming) was being restored and hence was not playable.
In the meantime, be sure to catch Eric in and around the Atlanta area playing with Yacht Rock Schooner and Electric Avenue! You won't be disappointed!
I produced some music for a video game last fall, and now you can purchase it (and the game) here…..enjoy!


Able Like You III aims at carrying on an ongoing successful learning process for the promotion of learning- mobility opportunities for European youth & social inclusion of marginalized people with physical and mental disabilities started with the previous editions "Able Like You" and "Able Like You II". Direct beneficiaries are European youth who will experience a formative path based on learning by doing and peer education methods. The project is based on a bidirectional and reciprocal approach aimed at facilitating new knowledge acquisition, developing educational and learning activities, supporting and improving competences acquisition while enhancing social inclusion. Throughout the involvement of both volunteers and target groups in participatory processes the project will represent an important opportunity to go beyond the barriers of disability and prejudice in an enriching human experience. Able Like You III will take place in Palermo involving 12 international volunteers split in two rounds (6+6) of 9 months each. Participants will come from 5 program countries: Hungary, France, Spain, Sweden, and Germany. Some volunteers will be involved in local activities carried out by two local organisations - EVSaccreditated- in a constant and direct contact with disabled people. The creativity of the volunteers will be incorporated in entertainment and pedagogical activities such as theatre and music which are the best means for captivation and socialization. Other volunteers will be engaged in the designing and realization of awareness campaigns, researches on methodologies of social inclusion and empowerment of those target groups. There will be several formal and non-formal moments for sharing experiences, carrying activities together, and contributing with personal ideas and suggestions, organized both at CESIE and local receiving organizations: Cooperativa la Fraternità and Edificando. CESIE aims at reducing any form of exclusion, thus, volunteers will be asked to give their personal contribution to this important human and social context often neglected. Their involvement will be incorporated in entertainment and pedagogical activities. With the help of local staff they will lead outdoor and indoor activities through formal and non-formal methods such as "learning by doing", and collaborative and cooperative learning in a group. They will lead research activities in the field of social inclusion with a special focus on disability. The volunteers selected will be young people motivated to be engaged in this action field, possibly with some personal or previous contact with disabled people in their Countries. Among 12, half of them will be recruited among young people with fewer opportunities in terms of social, economic, geographic obstacles or belonging to cultural minorities. The choice to mix youngster with and without fewer opportunities fosters solidarity & reciprocal help as a main key of social inclusion process to be carried. Tailor made approach will be used for defining volunteers' learning path. The main objectives of the project are: - To develop social capital among the volunteers providing opportunities for learning outside formal structures; - To strengthen volunteers future employability helping them to acquire new professional competences through non-formal learning activities, which aim at enhancing the skills and competences as well as their development as active citizens; - To facilitate the access to new knowledge and develop new linguistic and intercultural competences; -To discover innovative and creative tools for facilitating integration through the volunteer's contribution to local activities. -To raise awareness on the issues faced by subjects with mental and physical disorders in their daily life. -To promote community development, active participation, and active citizenship through the presence of EVS volunteers at both EU and local levels. Able like you III is an opportunity for all the involved actors including the local communityto be part of a social learning process aimed at enhancing an inclusive society as well as the importance of active citizenship. Finally the project foresees 2 dissemination products: a "Follow-Up" diary and an exhibition made up of pictures and texts realized by the participants, reporting creative activities and human experiences during their EVS. They will be widely advertised and free for use by other youth organizations (receiving, sending or coordinating EVS) as well as youth workers in the non-formal education, especially dealing with disabilities.


Journalist, political analyst and comedian Cho S Ramaswamy died on Wednesday at Apollo Hospital, said an official.
With the death of Cho Ramaswamy, Tamil Nadu has lost another icon within days of Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's demise. An influential figure in the film industry, media and politics, he breathed his last at Apollo Hospitals in Chennai on early Wednesday morning.
The 82-year-old veteran actor and politician was admitted to hospital last week due to a chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). However, his health deteriorated on Saturday and he was moved to ICU. On Wednesday morning, he suffered a fatal heart attack.
Condolences and tributes have been pouring in since morning. Superstar Rajinikanth visited Cho's house in MRC Nagar where the mortal remains of the latter have been kept for friends and others to pay their last respects.

School Adjustment Counselors provide services to students, families, school staff and the community through direct and indirect services. Direct services include the delivery of school counseling curriculum to all students, individual student planning, and responsive services (individual or small group counseling and crisis intervention). Indirect services are provided on behalf of students and can include referrals to outside agencies or resources and consultation and/or collaboration with staff. Working collaboratively with caregivers, students, faculty and administrators, School Adjustment Counselors help students identify and implement strategies in addressing issues ranging from academic performance and motivation to depression, anxiety, peer and family conflict and more.
In addition, the role of the elementary School Adjustment Counselor is to provide direct instruction in social and emotional skill development and Character Education curriculum. In line with the Massachusetts Model for Comprehensive School Counseling (MASCA), the American School Counseling Association (ASCA), and the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL), counselors are working with district administration to develop and implement a developmentally appropriate and culturally proficient continuum of Social/Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum PK-5.
The Elementary School Adjustment Counselors are the team chairs and liaisons/case managers/service providers for Section 504 Plans in their respective school buildings. They are active members of Student Support Teams, which create, implement and monitor timely intervention and support plans for struggling students.

Treacherous Passage: Germany's Secret Plot Against the United States in Mexico During World War I
By Keith Sears | July 14, 2018 - 6:59 pm | July 14, 2018 Books
Treacherous Passage: Germany's Secret Plot against the United States in Mexico during World War I by Bill Mills
Published by Potomac Books on January 1, 2017
Genres: History, Latin America, Mexico, Military, World War I, United States, 20th Century, Espionage, Sabotage
The infamous Zimmerman telegram proposed a military alliance between Germany and Mexico if the USA entered the Great War. The secret diplomatic communication sent by the German Foreign Office was intercepted, deciphered, and revealed to the American public by British intelligence and caused a furor in 1917. What was not then publicly known was how extensive German clandestine operations were in Mexico. These included training an embryonic German-Mexican invasion force, dispatching saboteurs to the U.S., planning submarine bases on the western coast of Mexico, and an idea to launch sea raiders from the port of Mazatlán to attack merchant shipping in the Pacific.
Author Mills weaves a lively story of German Consul Fritz Unger, head of the powerful trading house Melchers Sucesores, and his efforts in Mexico that were thwarted by a top American spy who was a trusted member of the German secret service there. A cast of colorful characters provide drama and intrigue that reads more like a novel but is true history.

Fully Automatic weapons are already basically outlawed.
Bump Stocks are basically a hack to make a semi-automatic act like an automatic.
Given that automatic are already essentially outlawed, this does not seem to be any real increase in power.


It appears that one of the source files for SQLite is missing from the package (sqlite3.h).
Also some confusion in the tools and packages between PEAR and PECL (thats minor though and not a PDO thing, I understand that).
PHP version is 5.0.5 (not listed in the drop down).
PHP is built with the SQLite extension (undrestand that's based on SQLite 2 while PDO is SQLite 3. Didn't see any problems with that mentioned other than perhaps don't jump back and forth between the two in working with a given database).
can be installed with "pecl install pdo_sqlite"
pear/PDO_SQLITE requires PHP extension "pdo"
/tmp/tmp5Jiwpw/PDO_SQLITE-1.0RC1/php_pdo_sqlite_int.h:50: error: syntax error before "sqlite3"
/tmp/tmp5Jiwpw/PDO_SQLITE-1.0RC1/php_pdo_sqlite_int.h:56: error: syntax error before "pdo_sqlite_db_handle"
Confirmed, everything seems fine as of PDO 1.0RC2. Thanks!

Technolink Snapshot February 2020
Dear Technolink Community,
Happy February! Let's celebrate all of the great things that are happening in our community with many more advancements to share ahead. 2020 is going to be an exciting year with the theme, "Creating a Legacy for the Future." Our snapshots will feature efforts by Technolink members who are demonstrating that initiative in all they do.
Please enjoy hearing from this month's insightful contributors: Lt. General Larry James of JPL, Kevin McDonald of Alvaka Networks, and Jim Watson of CMTC.
We encourage you to think about the legacy that you are creating.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Ssusan Forte O'Neill
Editor and Co-founder, Technolink Association
Members Shaping the Future
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena not only explores our solar system and its planets, but examines the smallest components in our universe with fundamental physics experiments. "One of our recent missions is the Cold Atom Lab (CAL) currently flying on the International Space Station (ISS)," reports Lt. General Larry James, Technolink member and Deputy Director of JPL. "CAL is utilizing laser cooling to study ultra-cold quantum gases in the microgravity environment of the ISS. CAL will produce clouds of ultra-cooled atoms called Bose-Einstein condensates. Chilled to a fraction of a degree above absolute zero -- even colder than the average temperature of deep space -- the atoms in a BEC demonstrate quantum characteristics at relatively large size scales, allowing researchers to explore this strange domain." There are three Nobel Prize winning Principal Investigators directing this experiment. For more details, please click here.
"The sheer numbers and damage from Ransomware are no longer something you can avoid," writes Technolink member Kevin McDonald, COO and CISO of Alvaka Networks. "If you don't already know someone with a ransomware horror story, it is very likely that you soon will. Ransomware is growing and most often strikes when you are least able to defend against it." Read Kevin McDonald's important article about ransomware and how to protect against it now. Click here.
Technolink member Jim Watson, CEO and President of CMTC, just wrapped up a successful series of 2019 events to provide relevant information to small and medium-sized manufacturers throughout California about technology integration. As part of its Made in California Program, CMTC teamed up with the Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) around the state to host a series of innovative Technology Showcase and Access to Capital Seminars for Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturers (SMMs). CMTC is partnering with the SBDC California network to foster the deployment of technology that will improve the productivity and global competitiveness of SMMs. The seminars were a perfect blend of technology followed by financing options organized to inspire incorporation of technology into a business. For a listing of the 30 manufacturing conferences in 2020, visit CMTC.

Yobs vandalize York Minster - And may have shared video of the acts online
Police appeal after yobs vandalize York Minster
By Alexa Fox @echoalexa Reporter (Thirsk & Ripon)
CCTV footage of the York Minister vandalism suspects
POLICE are investigating after two yobs climbed scaffolding at York Minster and damaged historic masonry and other parts of the grade-1 listed building.
Officers believe some video footage of the vandalism may have been shared online and are asking anyone who has seen it to get in touch.
Two men are believed to have been involved in the incident, which happened on Friday, July 31, between 1.30am and 5am.
The suspects entered the West End Gardens in the early hours of the morning and used ladders to climb the scaffolding of the North West Tower.
They threw items from the scaffolding area then continued onto the roof, causing damage to property including removing access doors to the tower.
Police believe they threw a small entrance door off the roof which has hit a gargoyle, breaking the masonry causing the gargoyle to fall to the ground.
CCTV shows that at 4.55am both men climbed down from the scaffolding, and one appeared to be videoing the gargoyle on the ground before leaving the scene, climbing over the locked fence and heading in the direction of Ogleforth at 5am.
An investigation is ongoing and a North Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "We are requesting the public's assistance to help establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
"In particular, we are appealing for information about possible sightings of both men involved and any online footage which may have been shared by those involved."
The first man is described is white, wearing a black tracksuit with a blue baseball cap, black trainers with a white sole.
He is in his late teens or early twenties.
The second man is described as white, wearing a dark hooded top, black tracksuit bottoms, black trainers with white socks and is a similar age to the first.
Anyone with information that could assist the investigation should contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2, and ask for Claire-Louise Viney.
You can also email PC Viney at claire.viney@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk If you wish to remain anonymous, you can pass information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Please quote the North Yorkshire Police reference number 12200130805.


Kasian created a revitalizing and productive design for the offices of global professional services company, KPMG, located in Vancouver, Canada.
Shifting away from a workplace of the past, KPMG was looking to revitalize their office and transition into an open workspace that would improve operational efficiency. With a focus on collaboration, KPMG called for more spaces that encouraged teamwork in hopes to bolster communication and productivity.
To get the best use of space, Kasian developed a detailed functional space program for 7 floors and provided interior design and way-finding services. Our final design provided KPMG with a natural space that is open and encourages collaboration through increased teaming spaces.
