Dutch satellite spotter snaps image of secretive US X-37B space plane
Max Blenkin
In this age of smartphones and saturation media coverage, there's little out there that remains secret but there are some things that are little known, and that includes the Boeing X-37B space plane.
Last Updated: 15 July 2019 Published: 15 July 2019
This is a small unmanned winged spacecraft resembling a miniature space shuttle used for top secret military missions for the US Air Force and US Defense Advanced Research Programs Agency (DARPA).
Now a Dutch satellite spotter named Ralf Vandebergh has actually spotted and photographed X-37B in orbit. According to the US website Space.com, Vandebergh said he had been hunting for X-37B for months and finally managed to spot it in May.
"When I tried to observe it again [in] mid-June, it didn't meet the predicted time and path. It turned out to have manoeuvred to another orbit. Thanks to the amateur satellite observers' network, it was rapidly found in orbit again, and I was able to take some images on June 30 and July 2," he said.
Vandebergh wasn't using an iPhone or even a quality digital camera to obtain his images.
He was actually using a 10-inch F/4,8 aperture Newtonian telescope with an Astrolumina ALccd 5L-11 mono CMOS camera. Tracking was fully manual through a 6×30 finderscope, he explained.
"It is really a small object, even at only 300 kilometres altitude, so don't expect the detail level of ground-based images of the real space shuttle," he said.
"We can recognise a bit of the nose, payload bay and tail of this mini-shuttle, with even a sign of some smaller detail."
While, there are a number of images of X-37B on the ground on the internet, capturing it in space is quite an achievement.
This started out as a NASA project in 1999, with Boeing selected to perform development of what was called X-37A at its Phantom Works. This subsequently transferred to the US Department of Defense, with the US Force subsequently developing its own version called X-37B.
One X-37A was made and two X-37B.
This resembles a scaled down space shuttle, with length of nine metres, wingspan of 4.5 metres and maximum takeoff weight of just under five tonnes.
First mission started in April 2010. So far there have been just four missions but they've been rippers. Mission OTV-1 ran for 224 days, OTV-2 for 468 days, OTV-3 for 674 days and OTV-4 for 717. The current mission, OTV-5, launched in September 2017 and is still up there.
The first four launches were aboard Atlas V rockets from Cape Canaveral while the fifth was on a SpaceX Falcon 9. The next launch is scheduled for December.
There's been plenty of speculation about what the space plane does out there, including keeping an eye on China's Tiangong-1 space station module and testing new types of drive and sensor systems.

Alumnus Richard LaBarbera (FIU BFA '02) is exhibiting Lake Okeechobee: The Great Recession at The Photography Gallery at FIU until October 20th.
I started photographing Lake Okeechobee and its residents in 2008 from the perspective of our diminishing natural resources. Now, after four years of intensive photography and practically a resident myself, I have come to understand that I have also been capturing the lives of these people in the midst of a great recession, in an area already severely strained in the best of times. Their mannerisms, their body language, their dress, their occupations, and how they play all lend a sense of themselves to the camera's lens, which captures and defines their lives, unique as the neighborhoods in which they live: Pahokee, Okeechobee, Buckhead Ridge, Moore Haven and Clewiston.
Using a 4 X 5 view camera, the sitters are aware of the camera's presence but remain unposed and unaffected while I wait for a moment of truth, sincerity and strength that many of my subjects exhibit during tough times. The lake, resting in the middle of the state, sparsely populated and surrounded by sugar cane fields, offers a low cost of living for those trying to make ends meet on little or no income. Florida is one of the states most affected by the recession. Recovery has been slow and many people remain unemployed. I often felt transported to the depression era of Dorothea Lange while photographing the hardscrabble inhabitants.
LaBarbera was born and raised in New York. He is the recipient of the 2004 and 2014 South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship. LaBarbera's work has appeared in solo and group shows nationally. He graduated with his Masters of Fine Arts degree from Columbia University in 2004, and he has taught photography at Columbia University and Florida International University. He currently teaches at Palm Beach State College and Miami Dade College. His work is in the collections of The NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale and art collectors around the country. Recently, LaBarbera's work was recently featured in the Musee du Louvre in Paris during the Fifth Annual Exposure Award reception (CARTA News: August 2015).
Lake Okeechobee: The Great Recession will run until Tuesday, October 20th, 2015 at The Photography Gallery at Florida International University: 3000 NE 145th Street, Academic II – Room 105, North Miami, FL 33181. The gallery is open from Monday to Thursday from 11AM-4PM.


I. He continues his account of the duty of masters, from the close of the former chapter (v. 1). II. He exhorts to the duty of prayer (v. 2-4), and to a prudent and decent conduct towards those with whom we converse (v. 5, 6). III. He closes the epistle with the mention of several of his friends, of whom he gives an honourable testimony (v. 7–18).
The apostle proceeds with the duty of masters to their servants, which might have been joined to the foregoing chapter, and is a part of that discourse. Here observe, 1. Justice is required of them: Give unto your servants that which is just and equal (v. 1), not only strict justice, but equity and kindness. Be faithful to your promises to them, and perform your agreements; not defrauding them of their dues, nor keeping back by fraud the hire of the labourers, Jam. 5:4. Require no more of them than they are able to perform; and do not lay unreasonable burdens upon them, and beyond their strength. Provide for them what is fit, supply proper food and physic, and allow them such liberties as may fit them the better for cheerful service and make it the easier to them, and this though they be employed in the meanest and lowest offices, and of another country and a different religion from yourselves. 2. A good reason for this regard: "Knowing that you also have a Master in heaven. You who are masters of others have a Master yourself, and are servants of another Lord. You are not lords of yourselves, and are accountable to one above you. Deal with your servants as you expect God should deal with you, and as those who believe they must give an account. You are both servants of the same Lord in the different relations in which you stand, and are equally accountable to him at last. Knowing that your Master also is in heaven, neither is there respect of persons with him,'' Eph. 6:9.
If this be considered as connected with the foregoing verse, then we may observe that it is part of the duty which masters owe their servants to pray with them, and to pray daily with them, or continue in prayer. They must not only do justly and kindly by them, but act a Christian and religious part, and be concerned for their souls as well as their bodies: "As parts of your charge, and under your influence, be concerned for the blessing of God upon them, as well as the success of your affairs in their hands.'' And this is the duty of every one-to continue in prayer. "Keep up your constant times of prayer, without being diverted from it by other business; keep your hearts close to the duty, without wandering or deadness, and even to the end of it: Watching the same.'' Christians should lay hold of all opportunities for prayer, and choose the fittest seasons, which are least liable to disturbance from other things, and keep their minds lively in the duty, and in suitable frames.—With thanksgiving, or solemn acknowledgment of the mercies received. Thanksgiving must have a part in every prayer.—Withal praying also for us, v. 3. The people must pray particularly for their ministers, and bear them upon their hearts at all times at the throne of grace. As if he had said, "Do not forget us, whenever you pray for yourselves,'' Eph. 6:19; 1 Th. 5:25; Heb. 13:18. That God would open to us a door of utterance, that is, either afford opportunity to preach the gospel (so he says, a great door and effectual is opened to me, 1 Co. 16:9), or else give me ability and courage, and enable me with freedom and faithfulness; so Eph. 6:19, And for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds; that is, either the deepest doctrines of the gospel with plainness, of which Christ is the principal subject (he calls it the mystery of the gospel, Eph. 6:19), or else he means the preaching of the gospel to the Gentile world, which he calls the mystery hidden from ages (ch. 1:26) and the mystery of Christ, Eph. 3:4. For this he was now in bonds. He was a prisoner at Rome, by the violent opposition of the malicious Jews. He would have them pray for him, that he might not be discouraged in his work, nor driven from it by his sufferings: "That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak, v. 4. That I may make this mystery known to those who have not heard of it, and make it plain to their understanding, in such a manner as I ought to do.'' He had been particular in telling them what he prayed for on their behalf, ch. 1. Here he tells them particularly what he would have them pray for on his behalf. Paul knew as well as any man how to speak; and yet he begged their prayers for him, that he might be taught to speak. The best and most eminent Christians need the prayers of meaner Christians, and are not above asking them. The chief speakers need prayer, that God would give them a door of utterance, and that they may speak as they ought to speak.
The apostle exhorts them further to a prudent and decent conduct towards all those with whom they conversed, towards the heathen world, or those out of the Christian church among whom they lived (v. 5): Walk in wisdom towards those who are without. Be careful, in all your converse with them, to get no hurt by them, or contract any of their customs; for evil communications corrupt good manners; and to do not hurt to them, or increase their prejudices against religion, and give them an occasion of dislike. Yea, do them all the good you can, and by all the fittest means and in the proper seasons recommend religion to them.—Redeeming the time; that is, either "improving every opportunity of doing them good, and making the best use of your time in proper duty'' (diligence in redeeming time very much recommends religion to the good opinion of others), or else "walking cautiously and with circumspections, to give them no advantage against you, nor expose yourselves to their malice and ill-will,'' Eph. 5:15, 16. Walk circumspectly, redeeming the time, because the days are evil, that is, dangerous, or times of trouble and suffering. And towards others, or those who are within as well as those who are without, "Let your speech be always with grace, v. 6. Let all your discourse be as becomes Christians, suitable to your profession-savoury, discreet, seasonable.'' Though it be not always of grace, it must be always with grace; and, though the matter of our discourse be that which is common, yet there must be an air of piety upon it and it must be in a Christian manner seasoned with salt. Grace is the salt which seasons our discourse, makes it savoury, and keeps it from corrupting. That you may know how to answer every man. One answer is proper for one man, and another for another man Prov. 26:4, 5. We have need of a great deal of wisdom and grace to give proper answers to every man, particularly in answering the questions and objections of adversaries against our religion, giving the reasons of our faith, and showing the unreasonableness of their exceptions and cavils to the best advantage for our cause and least prejudice to ourselves. Be ready always to give an answer to every man who asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear, 1 Pt. 3:15.
In the close of this epistle the apostle does several of his friends the honour to leave their names upon record, with some testimony of his respect, which will be spoken of wherever the gospel comes, and last to the end of the world.
I. Concerning Tychicus, v. 7. By him this epistle was sent; and he does not give them an account in writing of his present state, because Tychicus would do it by word of mouth more fully and particularly. He knew they would be glad to hear how it fared with him. The churches cannot but be concerned for good ministers and desirous to know their state. He gives him this character, A beloved brother and faithful minister. Paul, though a great apostle, owns a faithful minister for a brother and a beloved brother. Faithfulness in any one is truly lovely, and renders him worthy our affection and esteem. And a fellow-servant in the Lord. Ministers are servants to Christ, and fellow-servants to one another. They have one Lord, though they have different stations and capacities of service. Observe, It adds much to the beauty and strength of the gospel ministry when ministers are thus loving and condescending one to another, and by all just means support and advance one another's reputation. Paul sent him not only to tell them of his affairs, but to bring him an account of theirs: Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts, v. 8. He was willing to hear from them as they could be to hear from him, and thought himself as much obliged to sympathize with them as he thought them obliged to sympathize with him. It is a great comfort, under the troubles and difficulties of life, to have the mutual concern of fellow-christians.
II. Concerning Onesimus (v. 9): With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. He was sent back from Rome along with Tychicus. This was he whom Paul had begotten in his bonds, Philem. 10. He had been servant to Philemon, and was a member, if not a minister, of their church. He was converted at Rome, whither he had fled from his master's service; and was now sent back, it is probable, with the epistle to Philemon, to introduce him again into his master's family. Observe, Though he was a poor servant, and had been a bad man, yet, being now a convert, Paul calls him a faithful and beloved brother. The meanest circumstance of life, and greatest wickedness of former life, make no difference in the spiritual relation among sincere Christians: they partake of the same privileges, and are entitles to the same regards. The righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ is unto all and upon all those that believe; for there is no difference (Rom. 3:22): and there is neither Jew nor Greek, neither bond nor free, for you are all one in Christ Jesus, Gal. 3:28. Perhaps this was some time after he was converted and sent back to Philemon, and by this time he had entered into the ministry, because Paul calls him a brother.
III. Aristarchus, a fellow-prisoner. Those who join in services and sufferings should be thereby engaged to one another in holy love. Paul had a particular affection for his fellow-servants and his fellow-prisoners.
IV. Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas. This is supposed to be the same who wrote the gospel which bears his name. If he come unto you receive him. Paul had a quarrel with Barnabas upon the account of this Mark, who was his nephew, and thought not good to take him with them, because he departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work, Acts 15:38. He would not take Mark with him, but took Silas, because Mark had deserted them; and yet Paul is not only reconciled to him himself, but recommends him to the respect of the churches, and gives a great example of a truly Christian forgiving spirit. If men have been guilty of a fault, it must not be always remembered against them. We must forget as well as forgive. If a man be overtaken in a fault, you who are spiritual restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, Gal. 6:1.
V. Here is one who is called Jesus, which is the Greek name for the Hebrew Joshua. If Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterwards have spoken of another day, Heb. 4:8. Who is called Justus. It is probable that he changed his name for that of Justus, in honour to the name of the Redeemer. Or else Jesus was his Jewish name, for he was of the circumcision; and Justus his Roman or Latin name. These are my fellow-labourers unto the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort unto me. Observe, What comfort the apostle had in the communion of saints and ministers! One is his fellow-servant, another his fellow-prisoner, and all his fellow-workers, who were working out their own salvation and endeavouring to promote the salvation of others. Good ministers take great comfort in those who are their fellow-workers unto the kingdom of God. Their friendship and converse together are a great refreshment under the sufferings and difficulties in their way.
VI. Epaphras (v. 12), the same with Epaphroditus. He is one of you, one of your church; he salutes you, or sends his service to you, and his best affections and wishes. Always labouring fervently for you in prayers. Epaphras had learned of Paul to be much in prayer for his friends. Observe, 1. In what manner he prayed for them. He laboured in prayer, laboured fervently, and always laboured fervently for them. Those who would succeed in prayer must take pains in prayer; and we must be earnest in prayer, not only for ourselves, but for others also. It is the effectual fervent prayer which is the prevailing prayer, and availeth much (Jam. 5:16), and Elias prayed earnestly that it might not rain, v. 17. 2. What is the matter of this prayer: That you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. Observe, To stand perfect and complete in the will of God is what we should earnestly desire both for ourselves and others. We must stand complete in all the will of God; in the will of his precepts by a universal obedience, and in the will of his providence by a cheerful submission to it: and we stand perfect and complete in both by constancy and perseverance unto the end. The apostle was witness for Epaphras that he had a great zeal for them: "I bear him record; I can testify for him that he has a great concern for you, and that all he does for you proceeds from a warm desire for your good.'' And his zeal extended to all about them: to those who are in Laodicea and Hierapolis. He had a great concern for the Christian interest in the neighbouring places, as well as among them.
VII. Luke is another here mentioned, whom he calls the beloved physician. This is he who wrote the Gospel and Acts, and was Paul's companion. Observe, He was both a physician and an evangelist. Christ himself both taught and healed, and was the great physician as well as prophet of the church. He was the beloved physician; one who recommended himself more than ordinary to the affections of his friends. Skill in physic is a useful accomplishment in a minister and may be improved to more extensive usefulness and greater esteem among Christians.
VIII. Demas. Whether this was written before the second epistle to Timothy or after is not certain. There we read (2 Tim. 4:10), Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world. Some have thought that this epistle was written after; and then it is an evidence that, though Demas forsook Paul, yet he did not forsake Christ; or he forsook him but for a time, and recovered himself again, and Paul forgave him and owned him as a brother. But others think more probably that this epistle was written before the other; this in anno 62, that in 66, and then it is an evidence how considerable a man Demas was, who yet afterwards revolted. Many who have made a great figure in profession, and gained a great name among Christians, have yet shamefully apostatized: They went forth from us, because they were not of us, 1 Jn. 2:19.
IX. The brethren in Laodicea are here mentioned, as living in the neighbourhood of Colosse: and Paul sends salutations to them, and orders that this epistle should be read in the church of the Laodiceans (v. 16), that a copy of it should be sent thither, to be read publicly in their congregation. And some think Paul sent another epistle at this time to Laodicea, and ordered them to send for that from Laodicea, and read it in their church: And that you likewise read the epistle from Laodicea. If so, that epistle is now lost, and did not belong to the canon; for all the epistles which the apostles ever wrote were not preserved, any more than the words and actions of our blessed Lord. There are many other things which Jesus did, which if they should be written every one, I suppose the world itself could not contain the books which would be written, Jn. 21:25. But some think it was the epistle to the Ephesians, which is still extant.
X. Nymphas is mentioned (v. 15) as one who lived at Colosse, and had a church in his house; that is, either a religious family, where the several parts of worship were daily performed; or some part of the congregation met there, when they had no public places of worship allowed, and they were forced to assemble in private houses for fear of their enemies. The disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews (Jn. 20:19), and the apostle preached in his own lodging and hired house, Acts 28:23, 30. In the former sense it showed his exemplary piety; in the latter his zeal and public spirit.
XI. Concerning Archippus, who was one of their ministers at Colosse. They are bidden to admonish him to mind his work as a minister, to take heed to it, and to fulfil it—to be diligent and careful of all the parts of it, and to persevere in it unto the end. They must attend to the main design of their ministry, without troubling themselves or the people with things foreign to it, or of less moment. Observe, (1.) The ministry we have received is a great honour; for it is received in the Lord, and is by his appointment and command. (2.) Those who have received it must fulfil it, or do the full duty of it. Those betray their trust, and will have a sad account at last, who do this work of the Lord negligently. (3.) The people may put their ministers in mind of their duty, and excite them to it: Say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry, though no doubt with decency and respect, not from pride and conceit.

Watch Glenn Branca Hold Forth On Bowie, Byrne, CBGB, Sonic Youth + His Own Bad Self
October 11, 2013 By Daniel Maurer
As excited as we were to celebrate Glenn Branca's 65th birthday at the B+B Newsroom last week, we didn't expect our discussion with the trailblazing composer to be as epic as, say, the time in 2001 that we were blown away by his 100-guitar symphony beneath the Twin Towers, and (more recently, in 2010) the debut of his 15th symphony at Le Poisson Rouge. How wrong we were: the master rolled into 155 Grand with a bottle of whiskey and, just like when New York spoke to him in 2004, immediately lit up a cig. We weren't about to tell him to put it out.

Selected Ambient Works 85–92 es el primer álbum de estudio del productor de música electrónica Richard D. James bajo el seudónimo Aphex Twin, lanzado de manera limitada a mediados de noviembre de 1992 bajo el sello Apollo, una subdivisión de la discográfica belga R&S Records, y más tarde en febrero de 1993 de manera doméstica. Desde entonces dos remasterizaciones, en formato doce pulgadas (2006) y en disco compacto (2008), han sido lanzadas. James empezó a producir música a los doce años; él mismo declaró que comenzó a componer música ambient techno al año siguiente de dicha edad.

El disco recibió una gran aclamación por parte de la crítica y es considerado como una obra pionera para los cimientos de la música electrónica moderna. Warp Records se refirió a éste como «el nacimiento y referente de la música electrónica moderna». En 2003, el álbum obtuvo el puesto número noventa y dos en la lista NME de los 100 mejores álbumes. Nueve años después, FACT Magazine lo galardonó como el mejor álbum de la década de 1990.

My teacher friends tell me all the time that they don't keep regular school hours- and often go above and beyond the call of the job. That's exactly waht a Georgia teacher did for one of her students! Personal issues prevented 19-year-old Jamias Howard from attending classes in his final semester of high school and it looked like he wouldn't graduate. Then Kimberly Wimbish stepped up. The special education teacher tutored him and helped him complete the entire curriculum. When she found out he would have enough credits to graduate- she had a special surpise!

Bollywood celebrities who have remained friends even after their break-up!
Jyoti Nagdev April 21, 2018 Actor, Actress, In Life, News Leave a comment 10 Views
Breakups and patch ups are quite a common practice in Bollywood. You come across so many breakup stories from Bollywood every now and then. Most couples turn bitter against each other after a breakup, and when it comes to well publicized couples who are always in the limelight, staying friends becomes quite a challenge. Here are few B-town couples who are still good friends even after their break-up.
1. Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora
Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan have finally ended their 18 years of marriage, but that doesn't stopped them from being cordial for each other. Despite being separated, the duo make a point to be a part of each other's happiness. This simply means there are no ill feelings and they continue to remain on good terms. The couple, who married in 1998, had filed for it on mutual consent in November 2016. The custody of their son Arhaan remains with Malaika, while Arbaaz has access whenever he wants.
2. Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan
We all know that Hrithik Roshan and his ex-wife Sussanne Khan seperated a very long time back. However, the couple share a cordial and warm relationship. Although both of them have always maintained that there is no scope of reconciliation, but the two have never hesitated to come together for their children.
3. Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone
Everyone is familiar about Ranbir and Deepika's relationship. They both had a serious relationship. Deepika was the first long-lasting girlfriend of Ranbir Kapoor.

But, the two continued to be friends even post break-up.
4. Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif

But, they continue to be the best of friends. Post their breakup the couple has even been seen in movies together, like 'Ek Tha Tiger', Tiger Zinda Hai.
5. Akshay Kumar and Shilpa Shetty
This is one of the well known love affairs of Akki. Akshay Kumar and Shilpa Shetty created magic on screen with their hot chemistry. Their alleged relationship gave birth to various controversies in Bollywood and after being in the eye of the media for almost a year. But things took a turn for the worse when Shilpa learnt about the fact that Akshay was two-timing her with her best friend, Twinkle Khanna.

One day in early-21st century London, a curious scene unfolded in Trafalgar Square: as part of a Korean cultural event, two women in hanbok (traditional Korean clothing) sat playing gayageum (classical 12-stringed zithers). In front of them, B-boys put on a display of virtuosic break dancing. Among the crowd that day was expatriate Korean Kim Dong-hyun;
what he saw struck him as a ridiculously ham-fisted attempt at "fusion" between tradition and modernity, prompting him to search for more fundamental ways of developing traditional music.
London legend
Today, Kim is back in Korea. He and his team occupy a fourth-floor studio on a quiet Gangnam backstreet, surrounded by a host of shiny black new instruments that look as if they were developed in the Batcave as sonic weapons for use in the defense of Gotham City. This is the headquarters of SuperSound, the company founded by Kim in order to create a new generation of electric traditional-style Korean instruments.
Kim's career began as a designer: for 15 years, he lived, studied, and worked in London. After obtaining an MA in Illustration and Animation from Kingston University, he lived the life of a 21st-century Renaissance man, working at a major design company by day while fronting the rock band Hentaigene, as a singer/songwriter, by night. "We headlined at some major venues, like the Ball & Gate and Dublin Castle," says Kim. The band's racial profile proved an obstacle to reaching the big time, however; a record label bigwig flatly told him that a rock band fronted by an Asian singer and a black rapper wouldn't sell to the genre's predominantly white fans. "On a business level, it made sense," he says.
Preserving genuine culture
Kim returned to Korea five years ago to lecture in subjects such as film, media and product design at several Seoul universities. He found himself packing in this work after a year, however, in frustration at the various obstacles he encountered in the Korean university education system. Instead, he decided to pursue the development of traditional instruments in a new direction, a choice that stemmed from his ongoing despair at Korea's attempts at fusing tradition and modernity.
"Look at Japan," Kim says. "It did a good job of loving and preserving its traditions. Later on, elements of Japanese traditional culture started appearing in designs such as Star Wars costumes. If you want to have real Korean culture, it has to come from the fundamental elements of Korean tradition, otherwise what you get is pathetic. It's ridiculous to claim that today's Korean girl 'idol' groups represent Korean culture. If you just replace the singers with people from another race, there's nothing Korean about it at all."

Kim turned his attention to the development of traditional instruments in an attempt to bring change to the country's traditional musical ecosystem. "Most people who graduate in a traditional instrument at university soon give it up," he says. "There's a fixed number of institutional places available; for the rest, there's nothing to do." By creating electric traditional instruments with more appeal and—crucially—a much lower price, Kim aims to attract more young musicians, even if they later turn to non-electric traditional instruments. ("There's actually nothing like the sound of a conventional, silkstringed gayageum," he says.)
The project began when Kim bought a secondhand conventional gayageum for the equivalent of around US$6,000 dollars. "When I took it apart, I saw that it wasn't really that well made at all," he says. "The soundboard wasn't made from a properly bent piece of flat wood, but sawed in a curved profile. The instrument probably cost about US$60 dollars to make." After developing a piezoelectric system of pickups housed in the wooden bridge elements of conventional silk-stringed gayageum, for educational purposes, Kim decided to create a whole new sound altogether, introducing steel strings and electromagnetic pickups. The electric gayageum shares the studio floor with other electronic variations on traditional instruments: a geomungo (sixstringed zither), a haegeum (single-stringed fiddle), and a janggu (hourglass-shaped drum), along with the various cables, amplifiers, and pedals used by a conventional rock band. When Kim's iPhone plays a song recorded by his band using the instruments, the sound is not all that different to a rock track made using Western-style guitar, bass, and drums, though the distinctive sound of the electric haegeum can be made out in places. "This is just my band's style," says Kim. "As an instrument manufacturing company, it's up to us to present new possibilities by creating new hardware. The resulting software is up to the musicians who use it."
Accessibility vs. obstruction
Inspired by Jimi Hendrix's propulsion of the Fender Stratocaster from relative obscurity to legendary status, Kim hopes that his modified instruments will be embraced by at least one famous band, thereby boosting their profile. One potential major advantage over conventional instruments is the retail price of around US$300 dollars that Kim envisages. "Even if it doesn't bring us huge profits, I feel it's a price we should aim for in order to make a contribution to society."
"The biggest obstacle to the development of traditional music is traditional musicians themselves," says Kim. "I've been telephoned by a traditional instrument maker who threatened to organize boycotts of my instruments. And no traditional music students will touch them, because their professors tell them not to."
It remains to be seen what path SuperSound's uniquely innovative instruments will take when they hit the market in a couple of years' time. With any luck, they may play a revolutionary role in bringing a more natural relationship between perceived tradition and modernity in contemporary Korea. If the success of the electric guitar in the 20th century is anything to go by, there is absolutely no reason why this should not happen.

Routing Del Sol 59-31, the boys used a 29-8 second half run to defeat the Dragons, behind a 17-point effort from junior Roman Rose, who made three 3-pointers.

Unable to produce the same results, the girls fell 39-30 to Green Valley, but put up a valiant effort against the 5A opponent, which came into the night having already played five games.
"I know our players were a little disappointed in how they played tonight but we need to keep our heads up and stay positive," said girls head coach Brian Bradshaw. "We have a talented group of players and this is going to be an exciting team to watch as they learn and grow throughout the season."
Leading the way for the girls was senior Kennedy Barrow, who scored nine points. Junior Julia Carmichael added eight points with six rebounds.
Sophomore Sophia Muelrath added six points. Senior Callie Torgesen added four points with six rebounds. Senior Ashley Mendez added two points with seven rebounds.
