Background The PCV13 immunization demonstration program began in October 2017 in Indonesia. The aim of this study is to assess the dynamic changes of pneumococcal serotype before and after PCV13 administration, with two primary and one booster doses. Methods The prospective cohort study was conducted as a follow up study measuring the impact of PCV13 demonstration program by the Indonesian Ministry of Health in Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, from March 2018 to June 2019. The subjects were two-month-old healthy infants who were brought to the primary care facility for routine vaccination and followed until 18 months of age. We use convenience sampling method. There were 115 infants in the control group and 118 infants in the vaccine group, and the PCV immunization was given on a 2+1 schedule. Nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs were collected four times during the vaccination periods by trained medical staff. Specimens were analyzed by culture methods to detect S. pneumonia colonization and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) to determine serotype. The most frequently detected serotypes will be named as dominant serotypes. Descriptive analysis of demographic characteristics, the prevalence of overall and serotype colonization, and the distribution of serotypes were performed. The prevalence of both cohort groups were compared using chi-square test. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results Two hundred and thirty three infants age two months old were recruited, with 48.9% of the subjects were male and 51.1% of the subjects were female. Sociodemographic data in both cohort groups were relatively equal. Nasopharyngeal pneumococcal colonization before PCV13 administration occurred in 19.1% of the control and 22.9% of the vaccine group. The prevalence increased with increasing age in both groups. The prevalence of VT serotypes in control groups aged 2 months, 4 months, 12 months, and 18 months was 40.9%, 44.2%, 53.8%, and 54.3%, respectively, and in the vaccine group, 25.9%, 40.4%, 38.0%, and 22.6%, respectively. The most common VT serotypes in both groups were 6A/6B, 19F, 23F, and 14. The prevalence of VT serotypes decreased significantly compared to non-vaccine type serotypes after three doses of the PCV13 vaccine (p < 0.001). Another notable change was the decline in prevalence of serotype 6A/6B after PCV13 administration using the 2+1 schedule. Conclusions This study shows lower prevalence of VT and 6A/6B serotypes in the nasopharynx among children who were PCV13 vaccinated compared with those who were unvaccinated. The result from this study will be the beginning of future vaccine evaluation in larger population and longer period of study. ? 2021 Prayitno et al.

5 Ways to Make the Most of Your Independence Day
By Dave Sutton | July 3, 2017
Too busy to plan your July 4th in the chaos coming up? This weekend, excited Americans will spend a total of $71.23 million on red, white and blue apparel/decorations, $1.6 billion on beer and wine, $7.15 billion on food, and $800 million on fireworks. This bonanza has evolved significantly from the picnics, speeches, prayers, and fireworks of its 1777's origin. Although this holiday is meant to celebrate the founding fathers of this country, it is also a time away from the office to enjoy the summer weather with friends and family. The holiday began with modest celebrations, but it's easy to get lost in the buzz of modern festivities. To help you sort through all that chaos, we've compiled this list of ways to make the most of your Independence Day.
"May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as an opportunity to do what is right" – Peter Marshall
Take Advantage of Sales
This American holiday is still centered around family, BBQ, and beer, but shopping has become a major part of the holiday tradition. Companies around the U.S., both large and small, are taking advantage of the holiday by offering sales that are hard to resist. The following brands are just a few examples of these tempting 4th of July sales:
Southwest Airlines: For those looking to travel in the near future, Southwest is offering one-way flights as low as $44 to customers who book before July 7 for their July 4th For example, the flights from Fort Lauderdale to Nassau, Bahamas are starting at $58.
Overstock.com: In honor of Independence Day, Overstock.com is taking up to 75% off an array of home goods and furniture. Whether you're in the market for patio furniture or area rugs, Overstock.com has what you're looking for, plus free shipping on orders over $45.
Zara: This fashion retailer rarely has sales, but this year the brand's 4th of July sale offers up to 50% off everything from shoes to blazers.
Try New Recipes for your Family BBQ
Of course, hot dogs and hamburgers are on the menu for this year's 4th of July celebration. Try to spice things up this year with these recipes:
Recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/51535/fresh-southern-peach-fcobbler
Recipe: http://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a51475/caprese-garlic-bread-recipe/
Binge Watch Your Favorite Shows
What better way to enjoy time off than to catch up on all your favorite shows. If you're looking for some new shows to get into, we've listed this year's top shows according to Metacritic below:
"Legion" (FX) – Starring Dan Stevens, Rachel Keller, and Aubrey Plaza. "From "Fargo" executive producer Noah Hawley, "Legion" is a new Marvel series. It follows David Haller (Dan Stevens), a man who has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals his entire life. It'll be a struggle, but he'll realize he's not a normal guy, nor is he crazy."
"Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events" (Netflix) – "Based on the best-selling novels by Daniel Handler, the show stars Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf, who mistakenly becomes the guardian to three young children after their parents die in a fire. He hatches a plan to steal their inheritances and must don a seemingly endless array of disguises to do so."
"One Day at a Time" (Netflix) – "Justina Machado and Todd Grinnell star on "One Day at a Time." This remake of the 1970's family comedy from Norman Lear follows a Cuban-American family — a divorced mother played by Justina Machado, her kids, and their grandmother (played by the iconic Rita Moreno) as they weather the storms of modern life together."
This year, a total of 44.2 million people will travel more than 50 miles from their homes to celebrate Independence Day, according to the AAA. With 1.25 million more travelers than last year, this will be the most traveled Independence Day on record.
"Combined, strong employment, rising incomes and higher consumer confidence bode well for the travel industry, in particular, this Independence Day weekend." – Bill Sutherland, AAA Senior Vice President of Travel and Publishing
Of the 44.2 million traveling, 37.5 million of them will be driving to their destinations. This 2.9% increase in road trips is due to the cheaper gas prices with the national average price for a gallon of gas being $2.28, a historic low for the summer travel season. Additionally, car rental rates are about 14% less than the last Independence Day.
Fire off your own Fireworks
You could watch Macy's 4th of July Fireworks on NBC or you could go to a local firework show in your community. But wouldn't it be more fun to fire off your own fireworks after a great meal? This year, Americans will spend a total of $800 million on fireworks. We celebrate the 4th of July with fireworks because before the Declaration of Independence was signed, John Adams envisioned fireworks as a part of the festivities. In a letter written to Abigail Adams on July 3, 1776, he wrote that the occasion should be celebrated…
"With Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more."
The first commemorative Independence Day fireworks were set off on July 4, 1777, and every year since. If you choose to fire off your own "illuminations" this year, just remember to exercise caution!
Whether your company can offer exciting sales, new recipes, or other engaging content to an eager holiday audience, there is always a way to tell your brand's story through current events.

This project has born from my passion for cats and animals in general. Inspired by Pantone colors and the amazing applications of them.
As graphic designer, I imagined how to catalog the amazing shades of hairs cats.
Then I started to think about it. A 3D modeling software helped me to develop the material in order to evocate a real hair mash, but actually the incredible work its made by nature.
Ladies and gentleman: these are my Pantone colors inspired by cat breeds.


Bake in preheated oven at 218ºC (425ºF) for 10 minutes, flip, then cook for 5 to 10 more minutes. Product is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 74ºC (165ºF).
Ovens vary in power, these instructions are guidelines only.


There is still much debate as to how many people are injured as the direct result of practising yoga. All of the studies I have seen are interesting but limited in value. For example, comment is made about the number of people who practice yoga who suffer from strokes. With twenty million plus people practising yoga, it is no surprise that a percentage of them will suffer a stroke: but Yoga is not the cause. Of more interest is the scientific research that demonstrates that yoga can reduce the likelihood of a stroke.
Much of the current background information used in the argument about safety in yoga may come from this article. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5117171/#!po=68.2692. If you choose to read the article, I ask you to bear in mind a couple of thoughts.
Firstly, the name of the publisher (Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine) is probably indicative of the angle it is written from. Take heart. It is a well written and researched piece that concludes "Yoga is a safe form of exercise with positive impacts on various aspects of a person's health; however, those wishing to practice yoga should be cautious and recognize personal limitations, particularly individuals 65 years and older." Who could disagree?
Secondly, the article, importantly, reiterates the obvious: an individual should not engage in poses that they feel are beyond their physical limitations. Let us all accept responsibility for our own actions rather than blaming others. This is a fundamental requirement of freedom.

Posted on 2/12/2013, 3:45 am, by Colin Charles, under MariaDB, MySQL.
In recent time, MariaDB 10 has been getting many new storage engines. We've seen TokuDB, CONNECT, SEQUENCE, SPIDER, CassandraSE for various use cases. For a long time, MariaDB shipped OQGRAPH, but it was disabled in MariaDB 5.5. It will make a come back as OQGRAPH v3 has been worked on actively by Andrew McDonnell. Keep track of this via MDEV-5319.
Another engine being worked on by Kentoku Shiba & team is the mroonga engine, which allows you to do full text search. It is optimised for CJK languages, and is supposedly very fast. To track this, follow MDEV-5222.
What this means is that from the start of the MariaDB project, the only engine that we have disabled and don't include since 5.5 and greater is PBXT. That's a pretty good record of having many shipping storage engines that have largely come from the community.
Posted on 19/8/2013, 10:16 pm, by Colin Charles, under MariaDB, MySQL.
One thing you might have missed from the MariaDB 10.0.4 Alpha release announcement is that SPIDER is finally in-tree, inside MariaDB. I've been watching the SPIDER engine for quite some years and fondly remember the time when Kentoku Shiba dressed up as spiderman at a MySQL Conference.
There are many factors that plays to an engines success. Distribution is one of them. Having a company backing it with services is another, so it is with great pleasure that I also show you Spiral Arms Ltd by Kentoku and Goto.
Overall, a good time to celebrate and I'm very happy for Kentoku and Goto. Now to promote its use. There's a lot of dated resources that we need to get back up to speed with, so I expect that in time the Knowledgebase entry will well populated.

The reason behind it is clear: PBXT is currently not under active development. We still include it in the source releases and if you would like to use it, you just have to build it. If and when development around it comes back to an active state with bugs being fixed and the engine being pushed forward, I'm sure we'll start building it again. In the meantime, much thanks to Paul McCullagh for developing a great transactional engine.

The NoSQL/relational database debate has been going on for quite some time. MariaDB, like MySQL is relational. And if you read these series of blog posts, you'll realise that if you use MySQL correctly, you can achieve quite a lot.
It all starts with Kellan Elliott-McCrea with his introductory post on Using, Abusing and Scaling MySQL at Flickr. Follow the entire series.
He starts of the series with Ticket Servers: Distributed Unique Primary Keys on the Cheap. Flickr scales using shards, and ticket servers give unique integers to serve as PKs.
Richard Crowley talks about OpenDNS MySQL abuses. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but it shows MySQL getting the job done.
Mikhail Panchenko talks about using The Federated engine for his series.
If you're using the Federated engine, know that MySQL disables FEDERATED by default. In MariaDB 5.1.42, you get FederatedX, which is a maintained fork of FEDERATED, by the author himself! Bugs are fixed, and this is a supported engine, so if you're using the FEDERATED engine, it might be wise to try out FederatedX.

What To Consider When Relocating Your Laboratory
By: Beau Crowley, Director of Decommissioning
Moving is seldom a stress-free process. That's especially true when attempting to relocate a laboratory. While moving the contents of your home may be challenging enough, relocating a laboratory — whether it's to an adjacent space, across town or across the country — is considerably more challenging. For starters, there are stringent regulations to consider.
An alphabet soup of regulatory agencies — DOT, EPA, FDA and OSHA, among others — mandate a wide variety of hoops for you to jump through when relocating a lab. It can be confusing and stressful to stay abreast of all the regulations involved in transporting hazardous materials, for example. And don't forget that your laboratory probably contains delicate and expensive precision equipment. Safely moving delicate glassware or an expensive multi-channel analyzer is a complicated task.
Fortunately, Technical Safety Services offers comprehensive lab relocation services. While you may know us best as a trusted leader in laboratory testing and certification services, we also specialize in lab relocation. We can work with you to develop a sensible, workable facility closure plan that takes into account all the logistical and regulatory challenges associated with the lab-moving experience. Keep in mind that these stringent regulations are designed to protect both the public and movers from accidental exposures to potentially hazardous materials and substances.
If you plan on moving frozen biological specimens, you face one of the more difficult challenges associated with laboratory relocation. Maintaining steady, sufficiently low temperatures is crucial for sample integrity and transporter safety. Express shipment of samples packed in ice is one option, albeit a risky one. Unforeseen delays, unpredictable swings in local temperatures and other factors can all too easily conspire to make this option a gamble. A far more reliable alternative is to allow us to handle the logistics of this delicate task.
While it's natural to focus on cleaning out your old lab when moving, it's equally important to consider your new space and how it will accommodate your existing and future equipment and operations. It's important to ensure that infrastructure is in place to accommodate your needs for power, environmental handling, plumbing, storage and more. Some laboratories will need to maintain chain of custody during the transition, while others may need to plan for safe, non-disruptive live animal transfers.
After the move, you will need to focus on recalibration and recertification of all instruments. In short, whether your lab is big or small and whether you are moving across campus or across the country, lab relocation requires a carefully considered facility closure plan and equally careful implementation. It's also crucial that you properly satisfy the regulatory, compliance and documentation demands of a confusing array of agencies.
TSS has extensive experience providing facility decommissioning services, including generating relevant documentation. We will work with you to identify relevant regulations, then draft and implement a lab decommissioning plan that complies with ANSI/AIHA Z9. 11-2008 while satisfying all regulatory agency requirements.
Our responsive and knowledgeable technicians will work with you to minimize disruptions, smooth the transition from one site to the next and handle any decontamination issues at the former location.
While it may be tempting to try to move your laboratory piecemeal, in the long run it's probably less expensive — and risky — to entrust this thorny set of challenges to a single company that is experienced at coordinating the myriad moving parts involved in a safe, compliant and efficient lab relocation.
TSS can help streamline the lab moving process. For more information, contact us here, or call 1-800-877-7742.

Picture this: You have a new team member, and their sole purpose is to be a 24/7 set of eyes and ears in your food distribution facility or warehouse and check for the presence of rodents. Now, what if this team member then also sent you a text message or email anytime they detected rodent activity? Or even just a message to let you know they are on the job?
Fortunately, this new team member won't cost you what another employee would. We are actually talking about our electronic rodent monitoring devices, a type of remote monitoring system that uses a bait trap and a radar to detect and trigger an electronic alert when rodents are present no matter where you are.
This new technology is revolutionizing rodent control in the food processing and manufacturing industry. Up until now, rodent monitoring systems were manual – meaning bait traps would need to be checked during each visit from your pest professional. Automated rodent monitoring systems streamline the pest management process so you know which specific traps caught a rodent, and therefore reserves more time to identify why there's an issue and how to remedy it. You'll know if you have a problem now, not weeks later.
Once a rodent enters the bait trap a radio signal is sent, passing the information into the cloud. An alert is sent to the user at the other end, namely your pest management professional. Once the alert is retrieved, the pest professional will respond accordingly.
What are the benefits of rodent monitoring devices?
Real-Time Data: Remote monitoring technology provides real-time data on rodent activity inside and outside of a structure. With no delay in receiving this valuable information, better informed decisions can be reached using facts, not guesses.
Faster Response: With the data available sooner to the client and service provider, decisions can be reached faster on what corrective actions need to be taken to remedy the situation. And, as we all know, time is critical when it comes to preventing disease-transmitting rodents from threatening food products.
Preventative: FSMA regulations stress the importance of prevention, and remote monitoring technology falls in line with that approach. The data produced supports an integrated pest management (IPM) approach and helps pest professionals design and deliver preventive vs. reactive rodent management strategies.
Time Saving: Deploying remote monitoring technology can free up time for QA managers, inspectors and service technicians to perform the real work of pest management including more comprehensive inspections, interacting with clients and identifying the root cause of pest issues.
One of the first to test this breakthrough technology, Wil-Kil started working with remote rodent monitoring in November 2016. Shane McCoy, director of quality and technical training, worked with a confectionary manufacturing facility who agreed to participate in a trial program. After a full year, the client had transitioned entirely to using all remote monitoring and noticed a great difference.
The remote monitoring devices helped to identify issues quickly, sending alerts of activity to both the client and Wil-Kil, who promise a 24-hour response time. The client liked that Wil-Kil could respond to captures in a short period of time, making them audit ready. As for the service technician, they spent a lot less time checking traps they knew had no activity, and more time being an investigator and solution provider for pest issues.
Do remote rodent monitoring devices completely rule out the need for vigilant inspections and assessments? No. But it can serve as 24/ 7 'watchdog' in your facility. It is then up to the pest management professional to deliver and build rodent management programs tailored to the client's specific requirements.
Want to see how rodent monitoring really works? Check out the video below. Wil-Kil's preferred remote monitoring device is the Bayer Rodent Monitoring System – which is what our pest professionals use for our clients.

Wil-Kil is one of the first to implement this new, revolutionary technology into our IPM strategy. If you have more questions or are interested in getting a quote, give us a call!

Our last ride in Capitol Reef country was to Stud Horse Peaks, shown above. The highest is 7000 ft in altitude. This area is west of the park boundary, so Daisy was allowed to run with us. She was quite pleased.
The name of the peaks may have originated because of wild horse herds that once lived in the area. Legend has it that a stallion would stand on the peaks and keep guard over his mares. Frankly, this seems unlikely since the "peaks", which are actually more like mesas, are a couple of hundred feet above the valley floor, a long way for the stallion to travel away from the herd, and a long rumble downhill over rocky terrain if he actually saw danger and needed to race to the rescue.
We found this structure not far from our trailhead. If it's for sale or rent, are you interested? A little work might be required before you move in, but it could keep the rain off (if you're lucky). Daisy approves!

Music, Survivor	 February 24, 2012 February 24, 2012
Dissecting Vital Signs
Ask any teenage music lover who grew up in the 80's and they'll tell you: the choice of which album to spend your hard-earned allowance on was a difficult one.
With artists like Michael Jackson, Madonna, RUSH and some up and coming band called U2 all vying for attention, it definitely was a time of great consideration as to where to put your money.
But not for me. For me there was no doubt.
The first album I ever purchased was Vital Signs, the fifth studio album from the band Survivor. Nine killer songs written by guitarist Frankie Sullivan and keyboardist Jim Peterik. Nine songs sung by Jimi Jamison, one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time.
I spent many months in guitar lessons eagerly dissecting this record with my teacher learning all the nuances and theory behind the music contained on it. In the end, I wound up learning most of the album note for note.
Frequent readers of my blog no doubt already know about my love for this record but might not know why. So, to fill in the gaps I've decided to again dissect the record track by track to show you why this was such an influential record for me. An album that today is now framed and holds a coveted spot on my wall. Right alongside the very first Beatles record.
Track 1: I Can't Hold Back: This was first song I heard Jimi Jamison's voice on. Actually, it was the video for it if you really want to know. Back when MTV was in its infancy and actually played videos.
I remember watching the guys standing around in the library as the intro played and thinking, "Oh that's cool". But once Jimi started singing "There's a story in my eyes" that was all it took.
This one song is the single reason I wanted the album. And that was without even hearing anything else. It just goes to show you how big a deal the first single released from an album is.
I especially love it when Jimi sings "This Love Affair Can't Wait" for the final time. You really feel the emotion of what the song is trying to convey. It's the final powerful exclamation: You know what girl?…I Can't Hold Back.
From a technical perspective one of the things that really hooked me in on this song was guitarist Frankie Sullivan's use of feedback. Right when the song starts picking up in the first verse you hear it.
Most of the time feedback is annoying but in this case its controlled and it actually brings the whole song together.
Oh, and looking cool in the video helps too.
Track 2: High on You: Ah, the black and white video with the blue light bulbs. And another love interest for Jimi to sing to. This song hooked me with the cool keyboard sound and the little guitar lick in between verses. Of course, the powerful chord change to minor in the pre-chorus also was killer:
"Now I'm higher than a kite, I know I'm getting hooked on your love".
Track 3: First Night: This beautiful song begins with nothing more than piano and Jimi singing: "We will remember this first night forever, after all the songs fade away and the stage fades to gray". Then just as you think the song is heading one way it kicks into high gear.
After still being on a high from the last song (no pun intended) this track was a refreshing change of pace. It settled things down for what was to come.
"Emotions run wild, are we on the verge?
We've got a hotline to satisfaction.
I've got the answer if you've got the urge".
Track 4: The Search is Over: Taking on the world was just his style. Hey, wasn't this the third different girl Jimi Jamison had in as many videos? That guy gets around.
After Eye of The Tiger, this song was the one that really put Survivor back on the map. And fortunately for me, it's a song that was just reaching its peak when I saw them on tour with REO Speedwagon back in 1985.
"Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle
Our destinies are one."
As a hormone raging teenager, this song and I Can't Hold Back were my refuge when the days of school and girls were tough.
Track 5: Broken Promises: Again, the lyrics in this song. The imagery. Magic. "Summer and smoke, diamonds and dust."
I still remember all the weekend nights I'd spend up in my room in silence just listening. This song made me think: "Is it really written in stone that we wind up alone?"…
Or how about these lyrics:
I remember those songs on the radio
The jasmine, the wind in your hair
And how it hurts to remember those
Track 6: Popular Girl: Another great track and the opening one to Side B of the album. I swear, every time I listen to this song I hear something new.
Just the other day I gave a listen to it again and really caught for the first time the moving guitar part in the chorus. A whole lot is going on there and yet out of the hundreds of times I've heard the song I somehow over looked it.
There's so much more to music than just three chords.
She walks down the street, knocks 'em dead on their feet
With a casual nonchalance
When she's breaking your heart, she's the state of the art
With license to take what she wants
Here's another thing I love about the Peterik/Sullivan songwriting combination: They always take obscure words you'd probably never use and some how find a way to make them work. Like "nonchalance" from this song, "Spire" from Burning Heart, "Reverie" from Desperate Dreams…. the list goes on.
Track 7: Everlasting: The message in the song says it all. Something I was really looking for in 1984 even if I didn't fully understand what love was at the time.
"I'm looking for a love that's everlasting, I wonder if the feeling's strong enough?".
This is the one song from the record that in my opinion best showcases the vocal combination of Jimi and Frankie. When you hear the chorus it's hard not to sing along with it.
Track 8: It's The Singer Not The Song: Take a message from me and I promise not to come on strong: this song kicks. It's raw and in your face as soon as it begins.
This is the one song on the record where I think producer Ron Nevison just told Frankie to shred on guitar. And shred he does. I can just imagine Ron sitting back in the studio, pushing record on the console and listening to this tasty outro solo that goes on for at least 45 seconds.
Yet another example of a Survivor song containing positive messages about looking inside yourself and never giving up. Sure, sometimes it's all about love but on a track like this it's more about self-contemplation. It poses the question: Am I good enough?
And the answer of course is YES.
Track 9: See You In Everyone: For me it was bittersweet when this track came on. First, it was the final song on the record so I knew the journey I was on with Survivor was almost over.
Secondly, it had a guitar solo at the end that I needed to learn…and immediately.
This was the first song from the album I learned at guitar lesson. I had no problem learning the chord changes, it was that damn two-part guitar solo that gave me fits.
Thankfully, there's a keyboard solo before the final chorus so I had a enough time to get my bearings together before tackling it.
It took this young guitarist weeks to learn how to play the final song from Vital Signs correctly but it was well worth it.
Because I'll never forget the first time I placed the needle down on vinyl for this song and played the whole solo along with Frankie. It was one of the first real accomplishments I had as a new guitarist.
The day I mastered See You In Everyone.

Survivor 2012: A Conversation With Frankie Sullivan (Part Two)
Photo by Mary Hanley
In November of 2011 guitarist Frankie Sullivan and vocalist Jimi Jamison together announced that after a long hiatus Jimi would be returning as lead vocalist of the band Survivor. The group, which has a plethora of hits including "Eye of The Tiger", "The Search is Over" and "I Can't Hold Back" among others, will soon embark on a tour and begin work on their first album of new material with Jamison in more than five years.
The new lineup of Survivor includes Jimi Jamison (vocals), Frankie Sullivan (guitar), Marc Droubay (drums), Billy Ozzello (bass) and Walter Tolentino (keyboards/guitar).
In the second of my two-part interview with Frankie Sullivan I ask him about his approach to songwriting, the sessions for the album Vital Signs, his take on X-Factor/American Idol and why paying your dues as a musician is so important.
We'll also discuss the upcoming 30th anniversary of "Eye of The Tiger", the theme song from Rocky III, which earned the band an Academy Award nomination among other accolades, and still ranks as one of the biggest songs of all time.
It truly was an honor to speak with one of my all time favorite songwriters. I'm really looking forward to what Survivor has in store for 2012. As the band themselves have said: "Here's to a year of new beginnings, determination and more great music!"
A Conversation With Frankie Sullivan (Part Two):
gJg: You've written a lot of really big hit songs and one thing I've always wanted to ask you about was the process you use for songwriting.
FS: Actually it all depends. Sometimes I'll start with a lyric if I'm inspired by the right thing, or a person or a place or you know, some experience. "I Can't Hold Back" was like that. But sometimes it could be a guitar lick like the beginning of "I Can't Hold Back". I was just goofing around with the acoustic guitar one day and (Jim) Peterik was like, "Hey, what's that you're playing?" and we took it from there. The next day we finished writing it. That was "I Can't Hold Back." It's what ever you feel at the moment.
I like to play the guitar a lot. I jam out on a lot of riffs. And it's not really heavy or hard all the time. Sometimes it's on acoustic or piano. I think it's whatever strikes your chord at the moment. But as long as you can get it out there and then maybe get with someone who can relate to and finish it, that's what matters.
gJg: So you and Jim would just sit in a room together and start bouncing ideas off of each other? Playing and writing things down on paper?
FS: Jim Peterik and I, back in the Vital Signs days and prior, would write Monday through Friday every day from 2 o'clock until six or seven no matter what. No excuses, it was like going to work. We were practicing and honing our craft trying to do the best we could do. Some days we'd write two songs, some only one but we always had the work ethic of how we wanted to go about it. I'm proud of the fact that we always worked hard.
You know, it's really difficult to write good songs. But Jim and I were coming from two different places. We were like night and day so the stuff we wrote together would always have that extra spark to it.
gJg: Was "Eye of The Tiger" like that as well?
FS: You know, that was the easiest of them all… (laughs).
We had a ballad that we wrote called "Ever Since The World Began" (from the "Eye of The Tiger" album) and Jim and I both loved it. We thought this song was going to be great. "Tiger" we totally down played. We thought "Eh, this is going to be like "movie music" or something."
I think we wrote the music for it in like half an hour and it took us three days to write the lyrics only because we couldn't come up with the punch line. But we kind of had it down in half an hour.
gJg: So there's no big story about how it was written?
FS: No, there's no real brilliant story behind it. Some of the stuff I've seen on the Internet that people have written about it and I'm like, "No, it's not like that…that's ridiculous!" – That's not what happened. It was real simple.
The president of our record company was friends with (Sylvester) Stallone. They were really good friends. He had the Queen song "Another One Bites The Dust" and Stallone wasn't happy with it. So he said "Well you know, I have this band…" It was just two social guys having dinner. That's what started it all.
I remember Jim Peterik had pneumonia at the time so I went out alone and spent ten days working with Stallone and it was just a blast. He was totally cool. He just wanted it to slam. He wanted it to sound just like the demo but with balls. So I played it for him and took it to the limit and he loved it.
And afterwards I remember seeing it in the movie theater and thinking to myself, "Man, this sounds raw, it sounds rock. It sounds basic." There are a lot of cool things about it. It sounds like it was on the spot. You can hear a lot of spontaneity in it.
You can hear Dave (Bickler, the singer at the time) just going for it and you can tell some of the lines are just scratch lines. There's a lot of good stuff going on.
gJg: And thirty years later?…(laughs)
FS: Doesn't hurt (laughs).
You know, I can't believe it's been that long. And there's still a lot of cool stuff going on with it. Even today I'm hearing that Stallone wants to go LIVE and take it to Broadway among other things.
We just got a plaque from Sony, it's something like 2.8 million downloads. I don't have an updated official number but I know it's the 8th most downloaded song on the Internet right now.
gJg: Amazing.
People love the tune. They can identify with it. Plus, it doesn't hurt to be part of Rocky.
gJg: Then you had success with "Burning Heart" a few years later.
FS: Yeah, Burning Heart was after Tiger. That was in Rocky IV. That one was actually just a phone call we got. They asked us if we could do another song and we were like "Of course!" We wanted to be part of Rocky too. That sure wouldn't hurt us. (laughs). Not with a #2 record.

gJg: What was the story with "Fire Makes Steel", the song from the "Reach" album that was rumored to be on the Rocky Balboa soundtrack a few years back (2006)?
FS: You know, I just think at certain times things are either meant to be or not meant to be. Looking back now, I think this was a case where it just wasn't meant to be and I'm ok with that.
gJg: Let's talk a little bit about my favorite Survivor record: Vital Signs. The first album I ever bought and subsequently wore out. That album has meant so much to me that I now have it framed and hanging on my wall.
FS: That's really an intense album. Ron Nevison (producer) really was responsible for that record. In the beginning it came down to songwriting. Then it came down to Jim's voice changing the whole landscape of Survivor. But in the end, Ron Nevison played such a huge part.
gJg: Yes, I read a lot of interviews where you were talking about his contributions to the success of it.
FS: Well, he's really been underrated. I mean, I met this guy and he's telling me that he had just finished up producing Physical Graffiti (Led Zeppelin) and was getting ready to go to work on The Baby's new album. I mean, this guy is a MAJOR cat. He did Bad Company. I was like "Holy shit, the guys he's produced are my idols!"
Unfortunately, the first time we got him on board it didn't work out. But the second time we got him (for Vital Signs) he was really hungry and just wanted to work again. I mean, he always works hard but on ours, he worked so hard I can't tell you.
gJg: It paid off for sure.
FS: It absolutely did. Nevison worked so hard at making us all do the best we could do. He was very demanding with us. Not difficult, but demanding. There's a difference. Always demanding that we did our best. And it really did pay off.
We already had the songs but Ron helped us arrange them and helped us deal with this new voice that I loved. I remember when he first committed to do the record with us that he didn't know what to expect.
I sent him over a cassette tape of our rehearsal with some of the songs. I think "Broken Promises" was one of them. He said "That sounds great, I'll do it".
And the thing is, he's very picky about what he does so we really got lucky. It's like I said earlier, everything is always kind of either meant to be or not but at that point all of us were working together towards the same goal and that's what mattered most.
What's funny is that even though we worked really hard there was a lot of fun with it too. It's true dude. People sometimes become jaded and forget that. They forget the one thing that makes it all worthwhile: It's fun.
People sometimes ask me what I do it for and I tell them: "Because it's fun as hell to get up there on stage and play the guitar, have people act crazy and have a good time and sing along with your songs. That's really, really enjoying.
gJg: What do you think about those shows like "The X-factor" and "American Idol"? The ones where they get some unknown up there who wins a contest and then all of a sudden they're famous. What are your thoughts on that?
FS: I've kind of been down on that ever since Tyler did it (current American Idol judge Steven Tyler). I don't know why. I guess I'm a Joe Perry kind of guy (guitarist from Aerosmith).
I think it's all kind of manufactured in a way. I think it's seen its day. I think Simon Cowell has something to say and I think he really wants to matter. I don't know if you can find it in a TV show and giving some kid five million dollars though. If you would have given me five million dollars I probably wouldn't even be around. (laughs)…
Seriously though, I really think that you can't short-cut the process. What it's really all about, at the end of the day, for any and every artist is paying your dues.
Shows like those sure as hell try to short-cut it. Sometimes they succeed but most times they fail. Most of the time when something is manufactured, especially where music's concerned, you can tell its been short-cutted.
gJg: I read somewhere where Brittany Spears' last album had something like 25 songwriters on it, 10 producers or something outrageous like that.
FS: (Laughs): They're all great songwriters but still, TEN great producers? I mean, at the end of the day, you really only want ONE….not one producer for each cut. (laughs)
I think that's part of where things are really different now as opposed to the "old days". It's too manufactured. It's like, "What is this stuff?"
Authenticity is obvious. It's something you can't always explain but you can feel it in your gut. That's when I put on "Houses of The Holy". You know what I mean? Jimmy Page and Robert Plant used to write from the heart and soul. Now that was real talent. Guys that just went in and jammed on the great tunes. Through their feel and relating to each other. Throwing down the best stuff they had to offer.
People, like Jimmy Page. I mean, the kids out there obviously know of his work but if they saw him play they would "get it" it one second .They'll probably never get to see him play but if they did, they'd "get it" in one second.
I mean, here's the guy who came up with "Whole Lotta Love","Black Dog" and all those riffs. We overlook that but man, there's a GENIUS at work there. I mean just with guitar riffs.
gJg: It seems that contributions from artists like that are now just taken for granted.
FS: Well, I guess that's human nature. But with music you just can't take anything for granted.
I think you just close your eyes, put blinders on and then just go to the woodshed. You make an agreement with yourself that you're just going to do the best you can do. You say, "I'm going to the write the best songs I can write. Put down on the table the best I have to offer." If you do that, and really try hard you're probably going to come close.
But if you sit around and you're complacent and lazy and not really sure well then that's how it's going to come out. I really don't have much of that in me. I really want to work.
It's kind of a void now-a-days. I mean, except for the Chili Peppers and people like, say Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters). I really like him. They throw down. I just don't have the stomach for a lot of this contrived new stuff.
gJg: Well I just hope you guys make it around to my neck of the woods this year.
FS: I'm sure we will man. If we get our way, both Jim and myself are gonna make it to every neck of the woods. That's what we'd like to do.
gJg: I have to tell you the best show that I ever remember seeing was when you guys were with REO Speedwagon back in 1985 at Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, PA. Both of you were at the top of your game. You guys had "I Can't Hold Back", "High on You" and "The Search is Over" out and REO had just hit #1 with "Can't Fight This Feeling".
FS: That was THE tour man.
Photo Credit: Tim Hardgrove
gJg: That was the best show I ever saw. I say that only because the impact of it still sticks with me today. No other show has done that for me.
FS: That's nice of you to say. We were really at our peak. We were just on the road having a good time. We realized that the harder we tried to make something happen it just wasn't going to. So we just decided to have the best time we could. People still like spontaneity. People can tell.
gJg: How will you choose what songs you're going to do this time around? I mean, aside from the hits.
FS: I think this time around we'll look at around 45 or 50. I think we'll actually look at the whole catalog. You can look at the fact that the keyboard player just doesn't play keyboards but is also a killer guitar player. So now you say ok, now we can do "Love is On My Side", "Take You On A Saturday" (from the "Premonition" album). You can go down the whole list.
Then you can think "Nothing Can Shake Me" and "Somewhere in America" from the first record and before you know it you're saying "Hell, we've got 45 songs to learn!"
And then you can say, "Well, isn't this fun? We don't have to play the exact same set all the time. We can change it up every night." And people can kind of be re inspired. It will be like playing a different show every night. I think that's where both Jamo and my heads are at. It's a good place to be, where we're at right now.
gJg: I really appreciate you taking the time to talk to me Frankie.
FS: No problem James.
gJg: Back in the day, my guitar teacher thought I was crazy coming in there to learn songs from the Vital Signs record and me telling him that I wanted to learn "See You In Everyone" note for note… (laughs)
FS: (Laughs) Yeah, it's kind of like me with "Black Dog" saying "Yeah, how do I play like this guy?" But I found it didn't sound exactly the same. Then I realized it's because Jimmy Page has got different fingers and a different soul.
gJg: I felt the same way playing your stuff.
FS: Well, that's nice to hear. I'm glad you enjoyed it though. I really am. Thanks for your time. I really appreciate it.
gJg: No problem. It's been great talking with you. Looking forward to what's next with Survivor. Happy New Year to you.
FS: And the same you too.

Pharma Release
New York Measles Outbreak is Historically Bad says CDC
by Helen Gonzales May 7, 2019 May 10, 2019
Measles cases continue to rise dangerously. Last week, 60 new cases of measles were confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The total number of affected cases is 764 in 2019 till now which is the highest in the last 25 years. The highest record was of 667 cases of measles in the year 2014. Out of these 60 cases, 52 were from New York. So far, measles has reached 23 states in 2019. Pennsylvania confirmed its first case of measles last week. 2019 has been the worst year for measles in history, said the CDC.
In the year 2000, the US had declared measles to be eliminated. However, now, the numbers of measles cases are frightening. Currently, 2 large outbreaks are taking place in New York. 41 new cases were already confirmed and other 11 were reported in suburban Rockland County. Health officials are trying their best to control measles from spreading by urging people to get vaccinated.
Measles can be prevented with a vaccine for MMR- measles, mumps and rubella. But, it is very fast spreading contagious disease. The people who aren't vaccinated can get affected very easily. Many parents are refusing to vaccinate their children due to a false misunderstanding in the country that measles vaccines can cause autism. The health officials say that if this measles outbreak continues for a longer time, there are higher chances that measles will once again get a foothold in the country. It will be then difficult to control deaths caused by measles.
When a person is affected by measles, he/she first gets a fever, followed by a cough or runny nose or other symptoms like sore throat, red eyes, rashes on the skin, etc. In some cases, there are chances that the patients get affected with severe health issues like brain swelling or pneumonia. These complications can easily occur in the children below 5 years or older people of age 60 and above, which makes this disease a dangerous one for them.

This is the triple wing version of our popular mini falcon. By using three wings the spinner takes on different characteristics than with two wings. The spin is very balanced and a gyroscopic effect is added. The housing is crafted from solid 303 stainless steel. The diameter is 2.25" (the same as the 2 wing version). The width is .250 (also the same). The caps are constructed from 303 stainless and include an integrated threaded post like all of our caps. The weight is 88 grams. We use the same r188zz abec 7 hybrid ceramic bearing that gives our Maelstrom spinner such great performance.

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, stage designer, playwright and poet. Best known for his Cubist works, he is considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
Picasso was a child prodigy and learned a lot from his father who taught at an art school. Art experts differentiate between various stages in his artistic development, namely the Blue, Rose, African-Influenced, Cubist and Crystal Periods before the painter turned to classicism and surrealism later on. Among his most famous works are "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" (1907), and "Guernica" (1973), depicting a scene from the Spanish Civil War.

So over the past few years, I've been documenting many different aspects of Hinckley through Hinckley Photographed. During the last 12 Months, I've been to many of the Town's events and captured the People as well as many of the landscapes. I'm adding a selection of images of the people that I've photographed in 2014. 2015 will be the year it really kicks off and changes Hinckley Photographed. We're talking with an organisation about funding and will hopefully be taking Hinckley Photographed to a completely different level.

What your favorite DBZ character would listen to
This new segment features different Dragon Ball Z characters and we pair a track that reflects the characters storyline and personality. The inaugural segment we feature everything from Trap, Future Bass, Downtempo, Lofi, and much more. You can even take a quiz to find out which character is most like you if you don't have a favorite yet.
[Disclaimer: More characters will be added in future segments]
Goku: Goku is a sweet-natured, pure-hearted warrior with an almost child-like innocence. Throughout their battles, Goku never seems to change much, though he does gain a certain wiser perspective as he gets older. (Of course, he acts like a kid when he's around Vegeta. And Vegeta does the same.) With his heart as his guide, Goku is always willing to sacrifice everything for his friends and loved ones. He always manages to come out on top with the help of his friends. Goku is always celebrating and eating tons of of food with his friends and family when not battling. "Party Everyday" by 2DEEP shows the playful nature of Goku, but at an instance can get aggressive. At points the song sounds like Goku firing off Ki Blasts.
Piccolo: Piccolo is the offspring of Piccolo Diamau. Namekians are unisexual (no male or female, they're all just "one type") so Piccolo wasn't exactly 'born', but rather he was spit out and hatched. While his "father" was pure evil, Piccolo was actually a very prideful being who simply hated Goku for killing his predecessor. Because he was born to kill Goku, that was simply what he did. Piccolo ends up re-combining with Kami in order to become a 'super namekian' and reach a higher level of potential in his fighting strength. Piccolo is much reserved, but extremely proud and cautious. The song "Baile De Favela" is like Piccolo with aggressive strength and pride for the people and places their from. This JSTJR remix is Piccolo combining with Kami and reaching its Super Namekian form.
Vegeta: He has an incredibly strong pride, and feels that since he is the one of pure blood, and he should be the most powerful in the universe and should be the only one capable of becoming a legendary super saiyan. He starts out as a villain, but ends up developing into the most complex character in the entire series. His father, his world, and all of his people were destroyed by Freezer - yet while knowing this, he still served under Freezer, and did his bidding. Vegeta becomes Goku's best friend and becomes a loving father to both Future Trunks, and small Trunks. Vegeta Loves his mamacita Bulma, and the track by GTA "Mamacita" is a good representation of the pride, confidence, and swag Vegeta contains within himself.
Bardock: Bardock is the father of Raditz and Kakarot (Goku). He is a low-class Saiyan warrior (with a estimated power level of 10000) who leads a team under the command of Frieza. Bardock has immense Saiyan pride and loves his family and friends. He knows that his son will avenge his people and takes immense pride on his death that revenge will be achieved. Seeing your death, past your life, and your sons success must be very strange and eerie, even for a Saiyan. Hex Cougar delivers a good representation of Bardock's powers and creates an aggressive but adventurous harmony similar to the personality of Bardock.
Gohan: Gohan is shy, strong, and a fierce Saiyan. He has a secret identity to fight crime and even trained with some of the greatest warriors the galaxy has ever seen. Gohan is a scholar and a gentleman and prefers diplomacy over fighting. He is strong, but quiet. More mellow and relaxed then his relatives and friends. "Bassship" delivers the perfect vibe of Gohan with bass and precise kicks. A smooth melody that gives the warmth of Gohan.

February 5, 2012 Arthurian Legend
Arthurian Legend 201
Nicole EvelinaArthurian legend, arthurian legend characters, Elaine, Isolde, Mordred, Nimue, Tristan, viviane 4 Comments
Miss Evelina has her chalk board (do they even still make those?) and textbook ready to go, so your course in the basics of Arthurian legend is back in session. Is everyone present and accounted for? Amberr, Tyler, Daya, Courtney, Chris, I know you're here. Bueller? Bueller? (Come on, you know I had to say it.) Good. Before we take a look at some of those crazy kids who populate Arthurian legend in secondary roles, why don't you take a minute to refresh yourself on the main characters, so we're all on the same page.
So now that you know the basics, here are five characters you may not know as much about:
1. Mordred – If you know anything about Arthurian legend, chances are good just the mention of his name makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Mordred is sometimes Arthur's nephew (via his sister Anna and King Lot), but usually his son, most commonly by his sister Morgan (those medieval writers really did like incest). Usually, Mordred grows up ignorant of his paternity, only to be acknowledged by Arthur around the time he becomes a man. Mordred is the ultimate traitor, being one of two responsible for exposing Guinevere and Lancelot's affair (the other being Agravain). Once they are shamed and Arthur is distracted, Mordred makes his own bid for the throne (sometimes kidnapping/marrying Guinevere and allying with the Saxons in the process), bringing on the battle of Camlann, where he and Arthur are both fatally wounded.
2. Elaine – There are actually several Elaines in Arthurian legend, but two seem to be the most common. One is the daughter of Pelles, who is sometimes represented as the Fisher King. She used magic to trick Lancelot into thinking he was sleeping with Guinevere, instead of her, and thus conceived Galahad. The other is the daughter of Bernard of Astolat. She fell in love with Lancelot, who wore her token during a joust. She died for love of him and was found in a boat on the river near Camelot. She is Tennyson's famous Lady of Shalott. For simplicity's sake (and because its WAY more fun), I've combined the two in my books. She's a character I love to hate. You'll see why.
3. Viviane/Nimue – This character, by whatever name she is called, is usually identified with the Lady of the Lake. She is a powerful sorceress who catches the eye of Merlin, who, in his obsessive love for her, teaches her everything he knows. She then betrays him by using his magic against him to kill or imprison him (in a tower, cave, oak tree, depending on the source) where she can visit him, but from which he cannot escape. I have treated these two as separate characters in my books, with very different personalities and ambitions.
4. and 5. Isolde and Tristan – It's difficult to tell the story of one without the other, so I'm going to tell them together. Isolde (also called Iseult) is the daughter of the king (or queen) of Ireland. King Mark of Cornwall falls in love with her and sends his nephew, Tristan, to bring her back for their wedding. On the journey back to England, Tristan and Isolde unwittingly drink a love potion meant for Isolde and Mark, and become lovers. In some versions, she marries Mark anyway, but in others, her maid stands in for her at the wedding so that she and Mark are never truly wed. Isolde and Tristan carry on an affair for years until Mark finally finds out. He tries to kill Isolde in a number of preposterous ways (beheading her, drowning her, throwing her into a leper colony) but each time, Tristan saves her. Eventually, Tristan goes into exile in Brittany (sometimes voluntarily) and weds another woman named Isolde (of the White Hands). Tristan is fatally wounded and the Irish Isolde is sent for (because of her skill in healing) under the agreement that if she is aboard, the ship will have white sails, if not, black. The Breton Isolde, jealous of her Irish counterpart, tells Tristan the ship has black sails and he dies of a broken heart. When the Irish Isolde arrives and finds him dead, she either dies of a broken heart or commits suicide. (Romeo and Juliet, anyone?) The plot involves more, but that's the short version.
Some say the legend of Tristan and Isolde was tacked on to Arthurian stories late in the game, but I treat them as interwoven for a reason. You'll meet Isolde in books 1 and 2 and she'll get a chance to tell her side of the story in book 4.
Someday we'll look at the Knights of the Round Table as well, but this is enough for one day. Class dismissed! If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments. If you want to know more, I recommend The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Arthurian Legend by Ronan Coghlan.

Indian Type 440
Main, Motorcycles Permalink
With their purchase of Ace Motorcycles in 1927 Indian Motocycle acquired the William Henderson designed Ace in-line F head four cylinder motorcycle engine and Indian were not slow to put their own name on it and create the Indian four cylinder motorcycle in 1928. Indian's four cylinder motorcycle was pretty much a badge engineered Ace which with some styling changes was called the Indian Model 401. In 1929 Indian began doing some improvements on it particularly in upgrading the engine's main bearings from three to five and fitting of an Indian-style twin down-tube frame with leaf spring front forks, the model being designated the Indian Model 402.
1940 Indian 440 motorcycle with the conventional inlet over exhaust in-line four cylinder engine. The leaf spring front forks and the plunger type rear suspension are visible in this pictures.
The Indian four cylinder motorcycle perhaps more than any other came to symbolize the Indian name. Certainly as a child I grew up believing that Harley-Davidson motorcycles had V twin engines and that Indian had the straight four. Those were the versions of each that I had encountered. So when Jerry Hatfield, author of "Illustrated Indian Motorcycle Buyer's Guide" states "The Four is the greatest motorcycle showpiece, the Duesenberg of motorcycling." that is very much the image of the Indian that I grew up with.
The four cylinder Indian is always an impressive looking machine.
In mid 1935 Indian's engineers decided that the inlet over exhaust F head design was not as efficient as it could be so they tried reversing the order producing an exhaust over inlet version of the four cylinder engine. This indeed produced more power and was more efficient from an engineering point of view, but the heat from the exhaust was very high and even with a heat shield the exhaust created a significantly uncomfortable situation for the rider. Sales suffered so Indian's engineers tried to sweeten riders back to the bike with a twin carburettor version for the 1937 model year. The Indian was a very expensive motorcycle back in the thirties and buyers were no more inclined to shell out their hard earned shekels on a twin carburettor motorcycle that fried their inner leg than they were to open their wallets for a single carburettor model that did the same thing. So in 1938 Indian went back to the tried and proven inlet over exhaust version and sales improved.
From 1938 onwards to the end of production Indian dropped their exhaust over inlet experimental engine.
The two Indian four cylinder motorcycles in our photographs are representatives of the two styles of Indian engine. The red motorcycle has the "upside down" exhaust over inlet engine whilst the gray bike has the preferred inlet over exhaust engine.
This 1940 example of the Indian four cylinder has the preferred inlet over exhaust engine.
These two motorcycles formed part of the Robert White Collection and that whole collection is to be auctioned by Bonhams on 19th September 2016 at New Bond Street, London, Britain.
You will find the sale page for the gray 1940 Indian 440 four cylinder motorcycle if you click here.
You will find the sale page for the red Indian with the "upside down" exhaust over inlet Indian four cylinder motorcycle if you click here.
Also in this sale are examples of the early Henderson and Ace motorcycles
The Robert White Collection sale provides an opportunity to acquire examples of the development of the classic Indian four cylinder motorcycles from their origin to their final form.
In this close up we see the "upside down" Indian exhaust over inlet engine. Note the location of the exhaust and inlet manifolds.
In this close up we can see the preferred inlet over exhaust engine style of this 1940 motorcycle.
