Milwaukee-area leaders announced plans Monday to seek permission for a binding referendum to raise the county sales tax to 1.5% from 0.5%.
They say the additional revenue — estimated at as much as $160 million in the first year — would be used to provide property tax relief and fund countywide priorities in the face of stagnant revenue from the state.
If implemented, the measure would bring the sales tax in Milwaukee County to 6.5%, assuming a 0.1% Miller Park stadium tax ends next year. Currently in the county, there is a 5% state sales tax and a 0.5% county tax, which would increase to 1.5% under the proposal.
"We need a solution because if we don't get one, you're going to see continued cuts in the service that we provide, each of us, at the county and the local level," County Executive Chris Abele said at a news conference Monday. "And, we need a solution so we can get the government you deserve."
Subscribe to our On Wisconsin Politics newsletter for the week's political news explained.
The Milwaukee leaders' plans face a major hurdle: buy-in from the Republican-controlled state Legislature to put the question to voters in a binding referendum.
"Speaker (Robin) Vos will discuss the proposal with the Assembly Republican caucus, but it will be a tough sell for many of his colleagues," Vos spokeswoman Kit Beyer said.
State Rep. Evan Goyke, D-Milwaukee, said at Monday's news conference that he was up for the challenge.
"We have a coalition like I've never seen before," he said.
Timothy Sheehy, president of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, said every year more than $7.5 billion of personal income earned in Milwaukee County is taken home to surrounding counties.
This measure ensures that Milwaukee County and its municipalities can invest in the infrastructure that those livelihoods depend on, he said, but it is also an investment in the economic prosperity of the region and the state.
Ahead of Monday's news conference, local leaders discussed the proposal at a meeting of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Council of Milwaukee County. Leaders of the municipalities within the county requested more information on details including how the money would be distributed and what impacts the proposal would have on other elements of city finances, including tax-increment districts.
The group ultimately voted to hold a special meeting Sept. 23 in lieu of voting on the proposal Monday.
Goyke and state Sen. LaTonya Johnson will be introducing the legislation at the state Capitol. The goal is to allow residents to vote on the proposed sales tax increase in 2020.
Goyke said when that bill comes out, there will be more details on how the revenue from the sales tax is raised and spent locally.
"But everyone in Milwaukee will get some benefit from this provision," Goyke said.
Using a binding referendum process to allow Milwaukee County to generate new revenue and become less reliant on property taxes is one of the recommendations county leaders have been advocating for as part of their "Fair Deal for Milwaukee County."
The effort is aimed at averting a fiscal crisis and changing how state tax revenue is handled.

Leaders in the county point to an imbalance between the ever-growing amount of tax revenue sent to the state by Milwaukee County residents and businesses each year and the stagnant share of that money that is returned.
"All of our local elected officials who are standing here have done an amazing job of doing more with less," Johnson said at the news conference with other leaders standing behind her. "They have cut and stretched every dollar given to them by the state to the extent that there isn't anything left to maneuver."
Year over year, the county begins each budget cycle with a $20 million to $30 million gap in its operating budget, forcing leaders to make cuts. The county's 2020 projected budget gap is $28 million.
The county is also facing significant capital needs, including deferred maintenance costs of between $300 million and $400 million.
The effort announced Monday, dubbed "Move Forward MKE," is a collaboration between Goyke, Johnson, Abele, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and local business leaders and elected officials.
Groceries, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment and other essential items would be exempt from the tax.
More than a quarter of the $160 million is expected to come from people who don't live in the county.
About 25% of the new funds are anticipated to be set aside for property tax relief and divided between the county and municipalities on a per-capita basis.
The remaining 75% would be split between the county and municipalities, with a portion anticipated to be allocated to joint infrastructure projects.
The funding is expected to be used to address capital projects and deferred maintenance and invest in municipal facilities and services, among other priorities.

The BC Government has amended the Insurance (Vehicle) Act. These amendments change the way injury claims from motor vehicle accidents are made in this province.
Under the new Insurance (Vehicle) Act your patients are having to navigate significant changes in the law pertaining to prescribed treatment within new time frames. As a free service, our office would be pleased to answer any questions you may have about the new legislation as it relates to Health Care Providers.
These changes only impact injury claims for motor vehicle accidents, which occur on or after April 1, 2019. All injury claims for accidents occurring before April 1, 2019, remain under the previous system.
After April 1, 2019, the BC Government will impose a maximum cap of $5,500 on all non-pecuniary damage claims arising from motor vehicle accident where it is deemed that the injured party suffered a "minor injury".
"Non-pecuniary damages" are non-taxable compensation for pain, suffering, the loss of dignity, and the loss of enjoyment of life to a person injured by the fault of another person.
that does not result in a "serious impairment" or a "permanent serious disfigurement".
the impairment is not expected to improve substantially.
their activities of daily living.
A "permanent serious disfigurement" is a permanent disfigurement that significantly detracts (as set out in the prescribed criteria) from a person's physical appearance. It is not enough that a disfigurement detracts from a person's appearance it must "significantly detract".
Decisions will now be made by the Civil Resolution Tribunal. The Civil Resolution Tribunal is an online tribunal originally designed to address small claims disputes under $5,000 and strata property claims through a digital dispute resolution process. Often there is no in-person hearing and decisions are made by a government employee by email or telephone. Under this system, there is little opportunity for an injured person to fully challenge the evidence presented by ICBC.
For these reasons all healthcare providers' clinical notes and records have taken on a whole new importance and function. A self-represented injured person is now required to understand their healthcare providers' clinical notes and records in order to prove the extent of their injuries to the Civil Resolution Tribunal.
It is not the function of the Civil Resolution Tribunal to advocate for any party. However, as ICBC will likely be represented by experienced claims adjusters or legal counsel, the self-represented person has only your clinical notes and records to rely upon.
Further, the Civil Resolution Tribunal cannot reimburse an injured party for an independent medical report in excess of $2,000. An injured party may only acquire one of those reports. The remainder of the evidence must be clinical notes and records.
A "health care practitioner" means a medical practitioner, a nurse practitioner, those prescribed in the health professions act (e.g. all dental providers, massage therapy, naturopaths, nursing, occupational therapy, opticians, physical therapy, psychology, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, audiology and speech-language pathology, chiropractic, optometry, pharmacy, dentistry), and any other practitioner listed in the forthcoming regulations.
An injured person has 12 weeks to seek treatment from a healthcare provider. A failure to see a physician or to follow a prescribed treatment protocol could result in a person with an otherwise serious injury to be deemed to have a minor injury.
when treating a pain syndrome or psychological condition the health care practitioner must identify comorbid conditions if applicable.
While you may already do this in your practice, each of the above items must be documented in your clinical notes and records.
The new law provides that a patient, who without reasonable excuse, fails to seek a diagnosis or comply with any prescribed treatments may lose entitlement to compensation.
As previously noted, your patients will be relying on you to follow the protocols and prescribe treatment in accordance with the new time frames, and we can help you navigate this new reality to ensure minimal impact on your practice.
Previously, ICBC had the ability to obtain medical reports (otherwise known as a CL19 Report) as part of the Part 7 no-fault benefits scheme.
These reports must be in the form established by the corporation and may vary depending on the type of health care practitioner. This report may appear very similar to current reports.
is presently on the established register for registered care advisors maintained by the Attorney General.
The new law requires a treating physician to consider referring his or her patient to a registered care advisor for an assessment no later than 90 days after the accident date. The referral is not mandatory.
There will be a registry of registered care advisors from which you can choose and you will receive a written report from the registered care advisor.
There are pre-authorized treatments for those injured in motor vehicle collisions. This means a person does not require approval for reimbursement of any of the above treatment if it is sought 12 weeks after the date of the motor vehicle accident. Treatment following the pre-authorized limit or treatment that starts 12 weeks after the date of the motor vehicle accident date may not be paid for unless authorized by ICBC or a treating physician.
While the non-pecuniary damages cap has made most of the headlines, the BC Government has also imposed a cap on an injured person's right to be repaid treatment costs.
Previously a person injured in a motor vehicle accident was able to claim reimbursement for reasonable health care costs associated with being injured in a motor vehicle accident.
After April 1, 2019, the BC Government has limited the right of injured parties to claim a expenses beyond the limits set.
For example, under the new law if a physiotherapist charged $100 per session and the regulation is set to $79 per session (the current limit) then the injured person has no ability to seek the remaining $21 from the at-fault driver.
It is unclear if extended health providers will cover the difference between the actual cost of the therapy and the prescribed limits.
The law has changed in British Columbia. Hutchison Oss-Cech Marlatt has vast experience managing various insurance systems, including ICBC, Long-Term Disability, and WorkSafeBC. We are pleased to answer any questions.

Official Journal of the European Union
COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2015/450
of 16 March 2015
laying down test requirements for Member States integrating into the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) or changing substantially their directly related national systems
(notified under document C(2015) 1612)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on the establishment, operation and use of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) (1), and in particular Articles 8(4), 9(1) and 20(3), point (a) of Article 22, and Articles 36(4) and 37(7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2007/533/JHA of 12 June 2007 on the establishment, operation and use of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) (2), and in particular Articles 8(4), 9(1) and 20(4), point (a) of Article 22, and Articles 51(4) and 52(7) thereof,
Having consulted the European Data Protection Supervisor,
The Schengen Information System was set up pursuant to the provisions of Title IV of the Convention of 19 June 1990 implementing the Schengen Agreement of 14 June 1985 between the governments of the States of the Benelux Economic Union, the Federal Republic of Germany and the French Republic on the gradual abolition of checks at their common borders (3). That system constituted an essential tool for the application of the provision of the Schengen acquis as integrated into the framework of the Union.
The Schengen Information System was replaced on 9 April 2013 by the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) when Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 and Decision 2007/533/JHA became applicable. Like its predecessor system, SIS II constitutes a major counterpart to the abolition of controls at the internal borders as well as a crucial contribution to the maintenance of a high level of security within the area of freedom, security and justice.
The technical architecture of SIS II is composed of a central system (Central SIS II), national applications and a communication infrastructure between Central SIS II and the national applications.
It was and remains necessary to conduct tests in order to assess whether SIS II operates in accordance with the technical and functional requirements as defined in Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 and Decision 2007/533/JHA.
The testing requirements applicable for the major test phases of the technical development of SIS II were laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 189/2008 (4) and Council Decision 2008/173/JHA (5) as well as in Council Regulation (EC) No 1104/2008 (6) and Council Decision 2008/839/JHA (7). Those instruments defined the basic requirements and organisation of the tests of the SIS II Central system, the SIS II national systems, the interaction between them as well as the tests related to the communication infrastructure. As those instruments related to the technical development of SIS II, they exhausted their legal effect once SIS II entered into operation on 9 April 2013. Regulation (EC) No 1104/2008 and Decision 2008/839/JHA expired on 8 May 2013 and were moreover repealed by Council Regulation (EU) No 1273/2012 (8) and Council Regulation (EU) No 1272/2012 (9) respectively. The repeal of Regulation (EC) No 189/2008 and Decision 2008/173/JHA has been proposed in 2014 (10).
Regulation (EC) No 189/2008, Decision 2008/173/JHA, Regulation (EC) No 1104/2008 and Decision 2008/839/JHA made the tests of the communication infrastructure, the national compliance tests, the comprehensive tests as well as the test of the exchange of supplementary of information obligatory for Member States which migrated from SIS 1+ to SIS II. Success of testing of the Central SIS II, national compliance tests and tests related to the communication infrastructure was a precondition to start with the comprehensive test. The Commission had to declare the successful completion of the comprehensive test as a precondition of to apply Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 and Decision 2007/533/JHA.
In the light of enlargement of the Union and in particular the enlargement of the area of freedom, security and justice it is necessary to define the tests which demonstrate the technical readiness of a Member State to integrate into SIS II. In order to reinforce legal certainty it is necessary to define testing requirements. These tests should prove that a Member State is able to exchange supplementary information, its national system is fully in compliance with Central SIS II, it is able to enter, update, delete and search data, it is able to upload photographs and fingerprints in the quality required and it is able to process data on misused identity.
Member States which intend to implement a substantial change in their SIS II national systems (N.SIS II) or SIRENE application as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 and Decision 2007/533/JHA should also undergo testing as defined by the Management Authority in order to prove full compliance with Central SIS II or demonstrate the ability to exchange supplementary information. The European Agency for the operational management of large-scale IT-systems in the area of freedom security and justice was empowered to be the Management Authority by Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 and Decision 2007/533/JHA combined with Regulation (EU) No 1077/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (11).
Taking into account the principle that the same technical requirements should apply to all Member States, it is appropriate to apply the same test phases to Member States envisaging to integrate SIS II as the ones Member States had to execute for the migration from SIS 1+ to SIS II.
It is also appropriate to make use of the experience gained during development of SIS II and add tests which were not foreseen in any legal instruments but were added by Member States acting within preparatory bodies of the Council, in particular the test on the exchange of SIRENE forms.
The tests should be organised, defined and executed by the Management Authority assisted by the Member States.
Given that Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 builds upon the Schengen acquis, Denmark, in accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community, notified by letter of 15 June 2007 the transposition of this acquis into its national law. Denmark participates in Decision 2007/533/JHA. It is therefore bound to implement this Decision.
The United Kingdom is taking part in this Decision to the extent that it does not concern the exchange of supplementary information in relation to Articles 24 and 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006, in accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol on the Schengen acquis integrated into the framework of the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and Article 8(2) of Council Decision 2000/365/EC (12).
Ireland is taking part in this Decision to the extent that it does not concern the exchange of supplementary information in relation to Articles 24 and 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006, in accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol on the Schengen acquis integrated into the framework of the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and Article 6(2) of Council Decision 2002/192/EC (13).
As regards Cyprus, this Decision constitutes an act building upon the Schengen acquis or otherwise related to it within the meaning of Article 3(2) of the 2003 Act of Accession.
As regards Croatia, this Decision constitutes an act building upon the Schengen acquis or otherwise related to it within the meaning of Article 4(1) of the 2012 Act of Accession.
As regards Iceland and Norway, this Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (14), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point G of Council Decision 1999/437/EC (15).
As regards Switzerland, this Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement signed between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation's association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (16), which falls within the area referred to in Article 1, point G of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 4(1) of Council Decision 2004/860/EC (17).
As regards Liechtenstein, this Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Protocol signed between the European Union, the European Community, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein on the accession of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation's association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (18), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point G, of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2011/350/EU (19).
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 51 of Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 and Article 67 of Decision 2007/533/JHA,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
1. Before integrating into the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II), Member States shall conduct and undergo the tests and test procedure set out in the Annex to this Decision.
2. Member States which intend to implement a substantial change in their N.SIS II or SIRENE application shall request the Management Authority to determine which of the tests among those set out in the Annex to this Decision have to be performed and undergo the test procedure set out in the Annex to this Decision. The Member States concerned shall not implement those changes before the tests have been successfully performed.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

'SIS II TESTS
The tests listed hereafter serve to demonstrate that the national system (N.SIS II), the communication infrastructure and the interactions between Central SIS II (C.SIS II) and N.SIS II work in accordance with the technical and functional requirements set out in Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 and Decision 2007/533/JHA.
Moreover, those SIS II tests are also to demonstrate that N.SIS II, the communication infrastructure and the interactions between C.SIS II and the N.SIS II can work in accordance with non-functional requirements such as robustness, availability and performance set out in Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 and Decision 2007/533/JHA.
2. PROCESS, DETAILED SCOPE AND ORGANISATION OF SIS II TESTS
The sequence of tests, their objective, scope (depending on the national implementation) and organisation is as follows.
2.1. Connectivity tests are the first phase of tests which address the testing of the connectivity and resilience of the SIS II communication infrastructure.
2.2. National compliance tests are the second phase of tests which address the testing of the compliance of N.SIS II to the specifications described in the reference version of the Interface Control Document (ICD).
2.3. Local National Interfaces (LNI)/Back-up Local National Interface (BLNI) tests are the third phase of the tests which address the connectivity and the resilience of the SIS II communication infrastructure with the aim of testing the correct functioning and resilience of the N.SIS II behind both the LNI and the BLNI, if a Member State has a BLNI.
2.4. Global tests are the fourth phase of the tests which address proper functioning of the N.SIS II against the valid ICD specification under similar conditions and with the involvement of other countries connected to SIS II, as required during the daily operations. They are split into two distinct phases:
2.4.1. Member State Tests
During this test phase all established Member States which are connected to SIS II already have to demonstrate their capabilities to consume messages from the acceding Member State. The acceding Member State's traffic may be generated by using simulators.
2.4.2. Comprehensive Tests
During this phase the system under test (SUT) will be exposed to traffic(nominal, stress and peak traffic) as can be expected during normal operations. Member States (except the SUT) are replaced by simulators. The aim of this phase is to ensure that the SUT can consume and process all incoming messages and perform normal operations, including resilience testing.
2.5. ITSM tests are the fifth phase of the tests which address the organisation of IT Service Management, including the operation and communication procedures via communication systems such as the SIS II SPoC mail, eOPM, SM7.
2.6. SIRENE connectivity tests are the sixth phase of the tests which address connectivity and resilience of the SIRENE Mail infrastructure and check the basic functioning of the mailboxes through simulating basic traffic.
2.7. SIRENE functional tests are the seventh phase of the tests which will address the functioning of the national SIRENE technical solution and exchange of information between SIRENE Bureaux through forms sent via the SIRENE Mail infrastructure according to the specifications provided for in the SIRENE Manual set out by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/219 (1), entering, modifying, flagging, deleting corresponding alerts in SIS II and attaching/detaching relevant additional information to SIS II alerts.
Other types of tests may be foreseen depending on the legal framework pertaining to the particular Member State intending to integrate to SIS II.
2.8. Coordination of the tests
The European Agency for the operational management of large-scale IT-systems in the area of freedom security and justice (eu-LISA) as the Management Authority coordinates all tests, eu-LISA draws up the test specifications, the test schedule and the final outcome of the tests. Moreover, it will identify, categorise and describe any issues it detects and propose options for solutions.
Member States will assist eu-LISA in the overall performance of all tasks related to the test executions.
2.9. Test documentation
eu-LISA will define the detailed test specifications. It will make available to the Member State involved the draft and final version of test specifications.
2.10. Running the tests
eu-LISA will execute the tests together with the Member State and other relevant stakeholders involved on the basis of the test specifications and in accordance with the schedule agreed together with Member State's experts, and demonstrate that the expected test results as foreseen in the test specifications are met. eu-LISA will provide the C.SIS II test environment for testing purposes, including the SIRENE functional tests, where SIRENE functional tests and corresponding alert modifications can be executed.
2.11. Acceptance of the tests
The verdict on a Member State test can be "passed", "passed with remark", "inconclusive""failed" or "Not tested"/"Not applicable".
"Passed":
Actual results are as expected in the "Expected result" description;
All test conditions and the Test Plan were respected;
No inconclusive criteria apply.
"Passed with remark"
The conditions listed in point (a) are fulfilled but specific conditions and/or well substantiated reasons caused a unexpected result or event during the test therefore the test passed with remark.
"Inconclusive": unexpected events independent of the SUT occurred during the test.
"Failed": one of the criteria for passing the test is not met.
"Not tested"/"Not applicable"
eu-LISA will report on the results of the SIS II tests. It will identify, categorise and describe any issue it detects and propose options for solutions. The Member State's experts will provide all necessary information for the Test Coordination Group to perform its tasks.
Where the test documentation divides the tests into separate phases eu-LISA will inform the Member State of the results of each phase before the start of the following phase.
The acceptance of the tests will be based on reports containing a detailed analysis of the test results and conclusions as to the validation of the Member State's national system (N.SIS II or SIRENE application). If the Member State undergoing testing or eu-LISA considers that the tests could not be successfully completed, this is to be noted in the report. eu-LISA will provide an opinion on the successful completion of the SIS II tests, taking into account the views expressed by the Member State's experts and eu-LISA will submit the test result with its opinion to the relevant formations of the SISVIS Committee for the final approval.
3. INTERFACE CONTROL DOCUMENT (ICD) AND DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION (DTS) FOR TESTING
The N.SIS II in each of the countries getting integrated to SIS II will be tested against the latest specifications.
The Detailed Technical Specifications (DTS) prepared by eu-LISA define the functional and non-functional specifications of the C.SIS II.
The ICD prepared by the eu-LISA will define the interface between the C.SIS II and N.SIS II. It contains the technical specifications of the system-to-system interactions in terms of data items and messages passed, protocols used as well as timing and sequencing of events.
Specifications, as provided in the ICD and DTS, will be fixed for a given period and the timing of the update of both systems will be laid down in a release plan that will define the reference version for a given test phase. Issues found during the test campaigns will be reported, analysed and solved in accordance with established operational procedures, taking into account the opinion of the experts of the Member State which is undergoing testing.
4. INTERIM AND FINAL REPORT ON THE RESULTS OF THE TEST PHASES
eu-LISA will draw up, on a regular basis, reports on the status of the tests. The reports will note which test phase is currently being dealt with and whether the Member State has completed, begun or not yet begun any of the phases. If any repercussions for the test timetable are noticeable, they and their cause should be recorded.
On the conclusion of each test phase eu-LISA will draw up a report on the results, any issues it detects and options for solutions. In cases where the Member State undergoing testing or eu-LISA considers that tests could not be successfully completed they will record this fact, stating the reasons, in a separate note.'

You are here: Home / Speakers / What's the Best Record Player with Speakers?
Got vinyl? If you do – whether you bought the records yourself way back when or perhaps had them handed down to you – they're not doing anybody any good just sitting there in their sleeves.
Of course, you'll need something to play them on, and the good news is that there's absolutely no need to spend an arm and a leg on a full stereo system (receiver, turntable, speakers) in order to casually spin the platter. If you're not obsessed with audiophile-quality sound and are interested more in a quick and low-cost way to play or duplicate those records, the answer lies in a basic record player with speakers. And a decent (or even better than decent) unit can be had in today's marketplace for less than $200 – sometimes considerably less.
In this article, we're going to dig into the pros and cons of owning a record player with built-in speakers, and then we'll break down a small handful of these turntables that we think are actually worth owning.
Below, please use the table to compare a variety of unique turntables with speakers built into them to one another (along with a few other ones that don't have speakers):
Record Players? Speakers? First, the Basics
The reason that such inexpensive record players exist is that the process of playing an LP is an extremely simple one that hasn't changed much at all since the dawn of recorded sound. Computer technology has evolved, digital sound has become the norm, but a needle on a record is still just that.
A round platter sits on a base (also called a plinth), and a motor rotates it at a constant speed – 33⅓, 45 or 78 RPM (revolutions per minute). The slowest speed is for the so-called "long playing" vinyl record or LP, the 12-inch variety. Forty-five is for those records called "singles" (the ones with the large hole in the middle). The fastest speed is for old-style (and extremely fragile) shellac recordings.
A needle (called a stylus) is mounted on a cartridge, which in turn is connected to an arm (aka tonearm). When the record turns, the arm moves along the record grooves, and the vibrations from the grooves are electronically amplified and translated into audible sound.
Most self-contained units are belt-driven rather than direct-drive (a generally less-expensive process) and are fully or almost fully automatic, meaning that there is minimal need for the user to touch or manipulate the tone arm.
Advantages of Turntables with Speakers
The advantages of buying an all-in one unit are plenty. They tend to be very inexpensive, and you really don't need anything beyond what they come with to get them up an running. They are also lightweight, and many are extremely portable. In fact, some of the popular retro-look Crosley record players are actually designed to look like suitcases. This is kind of reminiscent of the old "sock hop" days of the nifty '50s when people carted their records and players around to friends' houses so they'd be ready to Bunny Hop at a moment's notice.
There's also digital conversion to be considered. A self-contained unit that contains a phono preamplifier and hooks up to a Mac or PC might be the perfect vehicle for turning your favorite album tracks into MP3 files, which can then be burned onto CD or DVD or loaded into a phone, iPod or similar device.
Disadvantages Built-in Speakers
Most self-contained machines are designed for portability and convenience, not the highest of fidelity. They tend to have tiny (and correspondingly tinny) speakers that, because of the inalterable laws of physics, simply can't play that loudly without some distortion or reproduce low bass notes.
Also, there's every chance that the speed won't be 100 percent consistent, and that, with careful listening, you'll notice little "hiccups" in the sound, technically known as wow and flutter.
Finally, with few exceptions, the all-in-ones aren't adjustable or upgradable. You may have the option of hooking them up to better speakers or to an actual receiver, but the arm, cartridge and other parts are there for good. They can be replaced but not upgraded. What you hear is what you will always get.
Five to Jive
All that being said, if you're just getting into vinyl for the very first time (or grew up listening to records and would like to buy a new turntable that doesn't have much maintenance), then snagging a turntable that has speakers built inside the unit make economical and logical sense. Therefore, below, we've compiled a list of five recommended models that we think are worthy of your time and consideration. Any one of them should do the job satisfactorily. And, we have to admit, some of them look way, way cool:
1) ION Audio has quickly vaulted into the top echelons of the turntable market and has a long line of affordable players, including units with speakers. We were really taken by the model called Ion Audio Archive LP, if for no other reasons than its rich, natural-wood finish. It plays all three record speeds, and, based on its name, seems specifically designed for conversion. It easily connects to a computer, and software is included.
There are also RCA connectors to mate the unit to a regular receiver. The bad news? The tiny speakers, mounted on top and inside the plinth are more appropriate for monitoring the transfer than serious listening. There's also no dust cover.
Rating: *** out of *****
2) The ever-expanding Crosley line gets a nod here for its Crosley Nomad. It has the most sophisticated cartridge and stylus of the bunch. Brown vinyl-wrapped and sporting a "midcentury look," this all-in-one three-speed portable has fairly sizable side-mounted speakers that do a most credible job of playing music. This unit also works for MP3 dubbing, and a software suite is included too. It can be connected to a receiver as well.
At 10 ½ pounds, it feels sturdy and well-made and just might be the most reliable of our bunch. The headphone jack is a nice little bonus. The player snaps closed for easy transportation.
Rating: **** out of *****
3) What could be more "retro" than a product named Studebaker? Of course, the Spectra Studebaker has nothing to do with the long-defunct automaker. But based on looks alone, a lot of people would go for this one immediately because it has a luscious wood veneer and a tasty, old-time radio look about it. And, for the feature-conscious, it does (as its name indicates) have a radio and cassette player.
But listeners beware: The platter and tonearm are plastic and, not surprisingly, the 2-inch speakers try hard, but they're pretty much low-fi. However, the thing is beautiful to look at.
4) Considering both price and features, the Jensen (another longtime brand name brought back from the dead) JTA-230 3-Speed Stereo Turntable comes across as quite a little bargain (and we do mean little; this guy is small). It includes an AM-FM radio and connects to computer hardware for dubbing. Thankfully, a "bass boost" function makes its little speakers quite bearable. It even has a remote and LCD display. Sold only in black and quite utilitarian in overall appearance, it won't win any awards in the looks department. It does have a dust cover.
5) The massive Electrohome EANOS502 is definitely a looker – it convincingly mimics an old-style console stereo from the '40s. But it's just loaded with modern-day features, including a CD player (talk about a blending of the eras!). It also connects to receivers and allows for dubbing, as well. One unique feature is a jack to hook up phones and other musical devices. Its record-playing capabilities are quite a bit above average. Note that at almost 20 pounds, this one can't be considered portable.
In an audio world in which it is possible to spend thousands of dollars on a turntable, the saner among us will take into account the law of diminishing returns. Applied to audio, it means that a $100,000 turntable doesn't necessarily sound twice as good as one costing $50,000, and so on down the line. It all comes down to our experiences and expectations and, unavoidably, our pocketbooks.
Music on vinyl has skyrocketed in popularity for several reasons. There's the nostalgia factor, no doubt. There is also well-tested truth in the maxim that music sounds warmer, somehow more "human," in analog form – scratches, pops, and all. There's also something to be said for the involvement required in putting a record on a phonograph and playing it. And, don't forget – a record comes with a nice big square cardboard jacket on which you can read about the music while you're enjoying it – these are the "liner notes."
The bottom line is that you don't need exotic materials, experimental techniques, and ultra-sophisticated equipment to bask in a tried-and-true technology that's so very close to the way Edison envisioned it. If you just want to play a few records, and you're not going to be overly fussy about the sound quality, then an all-in-one player might be perfect for you.

Is Liberty Law School Teaching Students to Break The Law?
For over a year now we have been covering the story of Lisa Miller, who kidnapped her daughter and fled the country rather than abide by court-ordered custody arrangements with her former partner, Janet Jenkins.
From the very beginning, when Miller began attending Jerry Falwell's church and renounced homosexuality, she has been represented by Mat Staver and Rena Lindevaldsen at Liberty Counsel while the were simultaneously serving as Dean and Associate Professor, respectively, of the Falwell-founded Liberty University School of Law.
Ever since Miller disappeared, Staver and Lindevaldsen have insisted that they have no idea where she went and had nothing to do with her disappearance – a position they continue to maintain even after an FBI affidavit claimed that Miller and her daughter were living in a house in Nicaragua owned by the father of an administrative assistant who works in the Liberty Law School office.
Students at Liberty Law School tell RD that in the required Foundations of Law class in the fall of 2008, taught by Miller's attorneys Mat Staver and Rena Lindevaldsen, they were repeatedly instructed that when faced with a conflict between "God's law" and "man's law," they should resolve that conflict through "civil disobedience." One student said, "the idea was when you are confronted with a particular situation, for instance, if you have a court order against you that is in violation of what you see as God's law, essentially… civil disobedience was the answer.
So if Staver and Lindevaldsen were teaching students at LU that the proper course of action for a lawyer in a case like this was to counsel their client to ignore court orders, it seems logical to wonder just what sort of counsel Staver and Lindevaldsen were giving to Miller before she kidnapped her daughter and fled the country.

Q: Display png image from folder A row in my database contains the name of the image of the product among other information about a product and all of images get saved in the same folder. I want to retrieve those images and display them in HTML, since I am using the apache server, I cannot just give the link of the file. I am currently using the following code:
$imgg = "/var/abc/def/product/";
.
.
<img src="data:<?php echo mime_content_type($imgg . $row[2])?>;charset=utf-
8;base64,<?php $image = base64_encode(file_get_contents($imgg . $row[2]));
echo $image; ?>" alt="" border=3 height=50 width=50/>

Obviously, the image name is in the third column of the database. It will be something like 'jkl.png'. This code works perfectly if the image is JPG. I have read online that there is a bug with mime_content_type when it comes to png, but I haven't been able to find another solution. So please help me solve this.

Q: Delete one scanner, Payroll program Week 3 How am I able to get rid of one scanner? If I do use just one scanner the after the weekly_pay is output is:

Employee Name
  Enter the hours worked for the week.

The program skips right over asking for the employee name variable. With both scanners it does indeed loop asking for the employee name as it should.
//Week 3 Assignment
package weeklypay2;

import java.util.Scanner; // importing the Java utility class scanner

public class WeeklyPay2 // class WeeklyPay
{
    //main method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Scanner Scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        Scanner Scanner1 = new Scanner(System.in);

        String employee_name = null; // variable for employee name
        double hours_worked = 0, // variable for weekly hours worked
        pay_rate = 0, // variable for pay rate per hour
        weekly_pay = 0; // weekly pay = hours * pay_rate

        while (employee_name!="stop")
        {
            System.out.println("");
            System.out.println("Employee Name"); // prompt, employees name
            employee_name = Scanner1.nextLine();

            if (employee_name.equalsIgnoreCase("stop"))
            {
                System.out.print("Exiting Program");
                break;
            } // ends if statement
            else
            {
                System.out.println("Enter the hours worked for the week");
                //prompt, hours worked for the current week
                pay_rate = Scanner.nextDouble();

                while(pay_rate < 0.01)
                {
                    System.out.print("ERROR!!, Input a postive number: \n");
                    pay_rate = Scanner.nextDouble();
                }

                System.out.println("Enter the employees hourly pay rate");
                // prompt, the employees pay rate
                hours_worked = Scanner.nextDouble();

                }

                weekly_pay = (double) hours_worked * (double) pay_rate; // setting the variable weekly_pay
                System.out.println(employee_name + "'s weekly pay is $" + weekly_pay ); // output the employees name and weekly pay

        }
        Scanner.close();
        Scanner1.close();
    } //ends main method
} //ends class WeeklyPay

A: use Scanner1.nextLine() after getting the value for hours worked.
Refer modified code below:
import java.util.Scanner; // importing the Java utility class scanner

{
    //main method
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner Scanner1 = new Scanner(System.in);

        double hours_worked = 0, // variable for weekly hours worked
                pay_rate = 0, // variable for pay rate per hour
                weekly_pay = 0; // weekly pay = hours * pay_rate

        //Scanner1.useDelimiter("//n");
        while (true) {

            System.out.println("");
            System.out.println("Employee Name"); // prompt, employees name

            employee_name = Scanner1.nextLine();

            if (employee_name.equalsIgnoreCase("stop"))

            {

                System.out.print("Exiting Program");

                break;

            }// ends if statement

            else {

                System.out.println("Enter the hours worked for the week");
//prompt, hours worked for the current week
                pay_rate = Scanner1.nextDouble();

                while (pay_rate < 0.01) {
                    System.out.print("ERROR!!, Input a postive number: \n");
                    pay_rate = Scanner1.nextDouble();
                }

                System.out.println("Enter the employees hourly pay rate");
                // prompt, the employees pay rate
                hours_worked = Scanner1.nextDouble();

                while (hours_worked < 0.01) {
                    System.out.print("ERROR!!, Input a postive number: \n");
                    hours_worked = Scanner1.nextDouble();
                    //Scanner1.
                }

                Scanner1.nextLine();
                weekly_pay = (double) hours_worked * (double)
                        pay_rate; // setting the variable weekly_pay

                System.out.println(employee_name + "'s weekly pay is $" + weekly_pay); // output the employees name and weekly pay

            }
        }

        Scanner1.close();

    } //ends main method

}//ends class WeeklyPay

A: Well the first thing I would say is be careful naming your scanner. Don't start that with a capital. Now a big thing is you don't want to compare strings using !=, this is not intended for string variables. There is a fun method for comparing strings that would be .equals() or .equalsIgnoreCase() depending if you want it non-case sensitive. Now after changing those few things in your code it works just fine. Also just a heads up Java also includes a method for formatting currency. You're pay numbers were missing a decimal. If you look at the NumberFormat I added after the scanner and then look at the println at the end you can see its very simple to use.
  import java.text.NumberFormat;
  import java.util.Scanner; // importing the Java utility class scanner

  public class WeeklyPay2 // class WeeklyPay
  {
 //main method
 public static void main(String[] args)
{
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
    NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
    String employee_name = "";
    double hours_worked = 0, // variable for weekly hours worked
    pay_rate = 0, // variable for pay rate per hour
    weekly_pay = 0; // weekly pay = hours * pay_rate

    while (!employee_name.equalsIgnoreCase("stop"))
    {

        System.out.println();
        System.out.print("Employee Name: ");

        employee_name = scanner.nextLine();

        if (employee_name.equalsIgnoreCase("stop"))
        {
            System.out.print("Exiting Program");
            break;
        } // ends if statement
        else
        {
            System.out.print("Enter the hours worked for the week: ");

So the office manager brought a shiny new printer. A Samsung ML-2010. I plugged it into our existing linux print/file server, added it with the CUPS interface, tested it with my Leopard machine and all was well.
Then I get the complaints that the Tiger machines can't see this new printer. They can still see and use the Samsung CLP-300 colour printer, they can still see the share files directory.
No matter how much fiddling and rebooting and deleting and re-installing I've been doing all morning these machines the result seems to be the same: Leopard sees both printers, Linux sees both printers, presumably (though untested) Windows sees both printers. No matter how much Googling I do I can't seem to find anyone with any help.
It's just Tiger that has a blind-spot and won't put the ML-2010 into the little network browser so I can click "Add printer" and have it work.
I blame SAMBA really. SAMBA always makes me beg and crawl and jump through hoops before it works properly.
Anyone got any ideas I can try?

COVID-19: 5,300 new cases since last Friday.
By Scott Matthews 1 week ago
In its latest health status report, the ARS stresses the continued rapid progress of the new wave of pollution. 5,300 new cases were registered at the end of last week. A development that now translates into new health restrictions
Posted on Jan 10, 2022 at 4:31 PM , Updated Jan 10, 2022 at 5:47 PM.
In detail, these are all the numbers carried away and confirming the full entry of Guadeloupe into the fifth wave of the Covid 19 virus:
The positivity rate is 21% over the past seven days.
The infection rate rose sharply to 2,894/100,000 people.
The age groups 10-19 years and 20-39 years represent 58% of these new cases. A shift towards older age groups has been confirmed.
The infection rate among children in the age group 0-9 years currently represents 6% of positive cases, compared to 3% at the end of the last week of 2021.
– 24 groups are monitored in Guadeloupe and the northern islands (schools, hotels, nightclubs, bars, private parties).
Now the Omicron variant is present in more than 95% of positive samples.
Hospital pressure increase
For the first time in these indicators eligible for the fifth wave, we also note that hospital attendance tends to increase. Two patients under the age of 50 were admitted this weekend to intensive care, and were not vaccinated.
Recovery bed capacity is currently maintained at 35 beds in the district, that is, 30 in CHUG and 5 in CHBT, of which 13 critical care beds have been added.
On Monday morning at 7 a.m., 28 people (including 10 with Covid 19 versus 4 on Friday) were treated in acute resuscitation.
For patients hospitalized in the medical department for COVID: 17 were in the infectious disease department at CHU versus 6 last week. Another 21 patients are welcomed into the other departments (i.e. 13 in CHU and 8 in CHBT)

Longer radius and smooth interior increases airflow efficiency.
Underwritings Laboratories prepared a fact find report which shows, among other findings, that Dryer-Ells are 500% more airflow efficient than sectioned, small radius elbows.
From a volumetric air flowrate standpoint, Underwriters Laboratories' fact finding study shows a dramatic improvement when using the new long-turn dryer venting elbow versus a typical sectioned duct elbow. One of the findings is that it takes six LT90s to affect flowrate as much as a single sectioned elbow does.
Further, the study found the actual effect of sectioned dryer elbows is equivalent to 15 feet of straight pipe.


Cangaço (Francisco Gaspar), a mistrustful clown with his face and hands covered in blood, is being held in the Police Station of a small town. Moreira (Paulo Vespúcio) is the investigator who caught him trying to leave the mansion near the woods, where a group of young people were found murdered.
The man applied petty thefts in the city, along with his partner 8-Ball (Fernando de Paula), and he is the sole suspect of the crime. Although the detective does what he can to arrest the clown, no solid proof comes into sight.
Five kids who decided to rent a house in the country were completely unaware of the horrors that awaited them. Their long weekend is filled with music, games and flirt. While man-eater Lena (Bia Gallo) tries her best to seduce the timid Théo (Leonardo Miggiorin), womanizer Beto (Rafael Raposo) annoys the girls with his cheesy pickup lines aiming to score.
In the deep forest, not far from the rented mansion, a small shed filled with wild boars is home of a sadistic family that feeds the animals with human flesh. Jonas (Beto Brito), a truculent and demented over-sized man, is the brutal killing hand of his equally insane sister (Marcela Moura).
As night falls, the mischievous clowns trespass the house and one of the youngsters go missing. What the kids run into while looking for their friend is nothing but ruthless violence and death.
In a mysterious plot where nothing is what it seems, Condado Macabro plays a tribute to the slasher movies of the 70's and 80's that we love, with all the gore and nonsense humor of its genre.

The biggest part of the bridal prep and the most important part have to do with the dress itself. There are so many options for the wedding dress; the silhouette, material, color, etc.Also, how you're put into the dress. There can be just a simple zipper, or corset, buttons or combination of all three. Have someone, whether it's a bridesmaid, or your mother know exactly how to put you into the dress. If you have to, do a run through; especially if there's a corset. Develop a pattern for the lacing. A simple trick for buttons: a bobby pin or a crochet needle is really helpful!

Jun 30, 2003 (CIDRAP News) – Stampede Meat, Inc., Chicago, is recalling about 739,000 pounds of frozen beef products because of a possible link to five Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections in Minnesota, Kansas, and Michigan, the US Department of Agriculture announced yesterday.
The products being recalled were produced between Mar 17 and 22 and bear the establishment code "EST. 19113" inside the USDA mark of inspection, the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said in a news release.
The products, mostly vacuum-packaged steaks, were distributed to restaurants, institutions, and retail stores nationwide and also sold to consumers door-to-door, the FSIS said.
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) announced Jun 27 it was investigating four cases of E coli O157:H7 infection that may be associated with eating frozen steaks sold by door-to-door vendors. The cause of the outbreak has not been confirmed, but the department was investigating frozen steaks sold by Farmers Pride Meat Co. under the name "Home Chef's Selections," officials said. The products were produced by Stampede Meats of Chicago, MDH spokesman Doug Schultz told CIDRAP News today. Farmers Pride has Minnesota offices in Blaine and Duluth, he said.
The people became ill between May 27 and Jun 18, the MDH said. They include adults in St. Louis, Carlton, and Hennepin counties and a child in Washington County. One adult was hospitalized with the illness.
"Steaks are usually not a high-risk source of E coli," said Kirk Smith, supervisor of MDH's foodborne illness investigation team, in a news release. "E coli bacteria usually exist on the outside of steak, so searing usually kills it. However, these specific products are injected with tenderizers and flavor-enhancing solutions, and that process may transfer the bacteria to the inside of the steak. If it is not cooked thoroughly, the E coli can survive and cause illness."
The products implicated in the Minnesota investigation include bacon-wrapped fillets with a production date of 3-19-03 on the label, the MDH said. Smith said it is not known how widely the products were distributed.
Consumers with questions about the Stampede Meats recall may contact Bill Asleson, company executive manager, at 800-353-0933, the FSIS said.


I didn't mean to write a downer this week! It just happened. It is a tough one. Thanks for reading!
Wow – you've covered so much in so few words! Brilliantly done, Kelley.
Escape or retreat? Sad tale, but…a new start?
Perhaps a bit of both. It can be sad but you're right, a new start.
Nicely hidden subtext -loved it.
Dad sounds like a bit of a bad one. Well written Kelley.
It definitely sounds that way. Thank you!

He did but I don't think it was intentional. Thank you for reading!

If you are the head of any branch of the government of the United States of America, you shouldn't declare that you're going to go ahead and ignore the other branches. It's kinda stupid. At least say you're going to work with the others.
"We're not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we're providing Americans the kind of help they need. I've got a pen and I've got a phone," Obama boasted Tuesday as he convened his first cabinet meeting of the year.
I grant you, Congress has been mostly useless since about 1998, but that doesn't mean you get to throw out the basis of our government in the name of "moving forward", wherever forward is.


Eddie O'Dea at Hub Cyclery in Idyllwild, California, after he won the Stagecoach 400 in 39 hours and 27 minutes. Photo from Hub Cyclery.
This past weekend was a busy one for endurance mountain biking, with fierce racing in the Stagecoach 400, Trans Iowa, and Arizona Trail Race 750.
The Stagecoach 400 started Friday morning under clear skies and hot sun in Idyllwild, California. A field of about 35 racers dropped out of the San Jacinto mountains and into the Anza Borrego desert as temperatures topped 90 degrees.One of the co-organziers, Hub Cyclery's Mary Collier, said they made several changes to the route this year to carve out some of the less rideable sections of trail. As a result, the leaders set blazing record times on the course, burning through the entire 370-some miles in a single sleepless push. Eddie O'Dea managed to incrementally increase his lead on local rider Guy Sutton and defending champion Jay Petervary throughout the long day. He rolled into Idyllwild at 11:27 p.m. for a finish of 39 hours and 27 minutes, carving more than ten hours off the old record. Sutton finished at 2:18 for a 42 hour and 18 minute finish, and Petervary came in three hours later in 45:15, still taking four hours of his 2012 time.
As of Monday morning, Tracey Petervary was en route to Idyllwild and in strong position to finish first in the women's field. At least fifteen riders scratched from the race, with a handful of finishers trickling in. Alaska rider Josh Spice dropped from the Stagecoach after 117 miles, citing difficult riding conditions and complications caused by the heat.
Max Morris heads down the South Kaibab Trail on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon during the Arizona Trail Race 750.
In the Arizona Trail Race, Max Morris finished the 750-mile ride across Arizona Saturday at 9:30 p.m. for a finish time of about 8 days and 13 hours. While shy of record pace, Morris knocked six days off his previous time. He reported that fatigue caused him difficulty in the final miles, especially when he was required to hike his bike across the 24-mile stretch of the Grand Canyon. "I struggled getting the bike up the North Rim," he said. Having also finished the Tour Divide in 2012, Morris encouraged endurance riders to take on the desert singletrack challenge. "AZT750 is a whole other world of hurt," he said.
Aaron Denberg had a bout of bad luck when his cassette and freewheel fell off during the canyon hike. He tried to zip-tie the cassette, but the zip tie wore and broke, and he lost two of the ratchets inside. When he reached the North Rim, he had a nonfunctional bike. A driver picked him up on the closed access point to the North Rim, sparing him a 40-mile walk on the road, but he was forced to scratch from the race just shy of the finish.
Blake Bockius also finished the race in about nine days. Eric Foster, Forest Baker, Mark Caminiti, and Sheila Torres-Blank are still en route.
Saturday's Trans Iowa brought a field of 91 starters, including a record rookie field of 51 riders for the ninth version of the 325-mile gravel grinder across Iowa. A total of 36 riders finished, which is also a record finishing rate for a race notorious for its wet weather, rough farm roads, and tight cut-offs. Rich Wince was the first to cross the finish line at 5:11 a.m. Sunday time for an unofficial finish time of 25 hours, 7 minutes. First singlespeed racer Mark Johnson finished second overall at 6:32 a.m., Paul LaCva came in at 6:40, and first woman Monika Sattler finished fourth overall at the same time. Four women finished this year's event, also a record as only one woman has finished Trans Iowa in the eight prior events.
Stagecoach 400 is an amazing event! I was feeling good all the way to Fish Creek Wash. The first 15 miles were great but the last 15 were brutal. I ran out of water and was struggling to push the bike through the deep sand. The rock wall was painful to look at and took everything I had to get it up half way. I finished at Stagecoach RV store where others souls called it quits. I was proud to have made it that far but I look forward to another attempt to Brendan and Mary Collier Stagecoach 400. Congratulations to all the riders that participated. Hope to see you all next year.
