This article published at The Lancet shows how the decision at the Hague (1912) that opium, morphine, and cocaine and their use should be confined to "legitimate medical purposes" would be central to future international drug control.
The plethora of comment and reflection on the First World War has overlooked the importance of that war for drug and alcohol control. Yet this war was crucial in the establishment of a system of international control for drugs that still endures today. It instituted models of control for alcohol that also had a lengthy life. In 2014, the First World War is still a potent presence so far as drugs and alcohol are concerned.
International drug control had been discussed before the war, but a global system was unlikely. The major initiative had come from the Americans in the early 1900s, driven by twin motives of moral regulation and strategic advantage in the Far East. The Americans believed that "civilising" and converting the Chinese would come through the ending of their opium consumption. Missionaries and the US State Department had trained their sights on the Indo-Chinese opium trade, a trade which civil servants in the British Foreign Office were already bringing to a close. The Shanghai Convention of 1909 retained a Far Eastern focus, but afterwards the compass of potential control widened. There was genuine concern in the British Foreign Office about morphine and cocaine smuggling in southeast Asia and this topic was taken up by the Americans as an important part of the international control agenda.


Who North America will open its doors to the public on Saturday, March 15.
The building's exterior is beige, boxy and bland, offering few clues to the fantastical items sold inside.
But on a recent Saturday afternoon, a "My other car is a TARDIS" bumper sticker in the parking lot helped visitors know that they had arrived at the continent's top retailer of "Doctor Who" memorabilia.
Once a month, Who North America, a warehouse/store on the Westside, opens its doors to "Whovians," the nickname associated with fans of the sci-fi TV series that debuted on the British Broadcasting Corp. in 1963.
High interest in the time-traveling Doctor isn't a prerequisite to visit Who North America, 2040 S. Lynhurst Drive. The monthly open house is free of charge to anyone. For the uninitiated, "TARDIS" is an acronym for "Time and Relative Dimension in Space" and also the vehicle that allows the Doctor to travel in those dimensions.
There's more than meets the eye for both the Doctor's TARDIS and Who North America. On the outside, the TARDIS resembles a commonplace blue Police Box used for emergency phone calls in 20th-century Great Britain. Inside, it's infinite in size, boasting a spacecraft's control room, living quarters and library.
Within the business park facade of Who North America, more than 2,000 different pieces of "Doctor Who" memorabilia are displayed in a 4,760-square-foot showroom. "It's bigger on the inside," as they say on the TV show.
And just as timing is everything for the Doctor, the owners of Who North America launched their business when this part of the world was something less than a Whovian hotbed.
New episodes of "Doctor Who" weren't even being made in 1998, when Keith Bradbury scouted the burgeoning World Wide Web for U.K. retailers of model Daleks and Cybermen (two types of evil cyborgs in the "Who" story) and other memorabilia.
He asked about the possibility of buying items in the States and was told, "We'd love to get our products over there. There's just nobody willing to carry it."
Bradbury then asked his wife, Jany, if she wanted to get into the "Doctor Who" business.
"I talked to my wife and said, 'Are you willing to invest $1,000 to get some products over here?' It was a lot of money for us at the time," Keith said. "But we did it. Within a week, we had to order more, because there was so much demand for the items."
What began as a hobby for the Bradburys became the full-fledged Who North America company in 2005, the same year the BBC relaunched "Doctor Who" as a TV series.
The "new 'Who'" has thrived as a cult favorite on this side of the Atlantic, where viewers can catch episodes on cable network BBC America as well as on Netflix or Hulu.
The next open house at Who North America is scheduled for 2 to 6 p.m. March 15. The Feb. 22 open house attracted an elbow-to-elbow crowd of Hoosier Whovians, plus visitors from Ohio and Colorado.
For 19-year-old Fishers resident Jacob Foley, a visit to Who North America was a surprise Valentine's Day gift from his girlfriend, Ali Smith.
"It's awesome," Foley said. "I want everything in here."
Foley estimates he's seen every episode of the seven seasons of "new 'Who'" three or four times.
"I love the way British TV is done, compared to here," he said. "'Doctor Who' is designed to be a kids show, but yet it's still one of those shows that adults watch all the time and love."
Foley planned to purchase two replica "sonic screwdrivers," the does-everything tool used by "Doctor Who" characters.
Denver resident Michelle Talkington, in Indianapolis to visit her mother, said she appreciates the show's nonviolent message.
"They didn't give (the Doctor) a gun," Talkington said. "They gave him a screwdriver to fix things."
A staff member at Denver Comic Con, Talkington said her convention is planning 25 hours of "Doctor Who" programming June 13-15.
Talkington purchased a "Doctor Who" Yahtzee game at Who North America, while Cincinnati resident Kira Hammergren bought a pop-up book titled "Space Travels" featuring David Tennant, the actor who portrayed the 10th Doctor (2005-2010), on its cover.
Hammergren describes herself as a second-generation Whovian. "My mom raised me on Tom Baker," said Hammergren, making a reference to the fourth Doctor (1974-1981) known for his floppy hat and multi-colored scarf.
The time-travel aspect of "Doctor Who" keeps Hammergren engaged with the show, which introduced its 12th Doctor, Peter Capaldi, during a 50th-anniversary episode last November.
"They can do any story, at any time and anywhere," she said. "It appeals to the best of us while looking at the worst of us. There's nothing it can't do."
Tony Troxell, a frequent Who North America customer who blogs at GeekingInIndiana.com, said time-travel stories are difficult for viewers to resist.
"For some, it's just to see where we're going and hoping things are better," Troxell said. "For some, it's going back to fix past mistakes."
Troxell said he's always on the lookout for imported Jelly Babies at Who North America. The English candy — similar to a gummi confection, but with a more rigid texture — has been a favorite of multiple Doctors.
Food in "Doctor Who" lore also resonates with Indianapolis resident Matt Hofmann, who said he wore celery stalks on borrowed suit jackets when making "Doctor Who" fan films as a teenager.
Fashion-accessory celery was a trademark of Peter Davison, the fifth Doctor (1981-1984). Who North America brought Davison to Indianapolis for the 2013 edition of Gen Con, and the company plans to have a prominent presence at the first-ever Indiana PopCon, scheduled May 30 to June 1 at the Indiana Convention Center.
While the Bradburys spend most of their time processing online orders at WhoNA.com, they also schedule weekday visits by appointment.
"Anything that's out there, you're going to find it here," said Hofmann, who fashioned a TARDIS out of a refrigerator box when making his "Doctor Who" fan films. "You don't have to go to toy stores and try to find stuff that they won't have."

Genres: Singer-SongwriterPop RockRockAcoustic
Without dark there is no light. That's the duality of the universe we live in. In this regard, sometimes bad things need to happen to awaken a person into a more positive way of living. Former Treaty of Paris front man (2005-2010) and singer/songwriter Michael Chorvat's story is no different. After the sudden passing of his mother a few years ago, he started searching for meaning in his existence. The age old questions of, "why am I here?" and "what's my purpose in life?" consumed him and so his spiritual journey began. The songs on Michael Chorvat's first solo album, titled "The Light", tell the story of his spiritual awakening and are intended to inspire others to take their own inner journey. The album is meant to serve as positive affirmations to awaken the listener to the universe within. So much so that you could call the album a self-help book in musical form. In addition to songwriting, Michael practices Reiki, a healing technique based on the principle of channeling energy into a person by means of touch Reiki helps activate natural healing in the body and put the body's chakras, or energy centers of spiritual power, in balance. Similarly, each song on "The Light" represents a chakra of the body and takes the listener from the crown chakra down to the root chakra. The album is balancing, energizing, heartwarming and even thought provoking at times. It's music for the soul. "Instead of using my music to feed my ego, I want to use my music to feed the world." - Michael Chorvat, singer/songwriter The concept of duality also teaches one must give to receive. Michael wasn't satisfied with the thought of releasing music the traditional way and for personal gain. Instead he wanted to put some positivity into the world and use his music to help others less fortunate. That's why he's donating 50% of the profits from the sales of his album "The Light" to a charity called Action Against Hunger, a top-rated global humanitarian organization committed to ending world hunger. Michael has already raised over $4,000 for the charity from an Indiegogo campaign he ran in 2014 (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/i-want-to-use-my-music-to-feed-the-world). Even though the campaign is over, he continues to donate 50% of the proceeds annually. Other projects Michael Chorvat is currently involved with include Ryan Powers and The Secret Weapons, Daniel Wade and Our Name Is Jonas, Chicago's only Weezer tribute band.

Logos For Today's NBA
Posted on July 21, 2010 by Alex and Pat
UPDATE: This post was a hit, so we've put posters of these logos up for sale. Check it out and order one; they're awesome.
Logos are all around us and we associate many different thoughts and feelings when we see one. Catching a glimpse of the McDonald's arches may remind you that you could use some food, seeing the neon glow from a Budweiser bar sign could inspire you to pick up a case, spotting the Playboy bunny on the magazine rack at the gas station might provoke you to…you get the picture.
A good logo is essential for any company, as it is a visual representation of the business and it's no different when it comes to sports logos. Some are just bad and really don't make much sense, while others are iconic and have withstood the test of time. While NBA team logos seem to change all the time, the official seal of the NBA has been with us since 1972. The logo is a silhouette of NBA legend Jerry "Mr. Clutch" West who played for the Los Angeles Lakers. (can put logo/west pic here if you want)
Some have discussed changing the logo to honor another player, but there hasn't been much serious talk as it is such a well marketed and recognizable logo already. None of that, however, is stopping The Sports Geeks from coming up with a few potential new logos for David Stern to consider. They may not represent the finest moments in NBA history, but they certainly are memorable.
Greg Oden
The infamous Greg Oden dong incident is just too easy to mock. (Click here for the awkwardly-NSFW version of this).
Mark Madsen
Check out his dance from the 2002 Lakers Championship Parade. Humiliating for all parties involved.
Kobe and his overpriced hat have already been the source of many photoshop masterpieces.
For those who don't remember, Pierce was carted off in a wheelchair in Game 1 of the '08 Finals, only to return minutes later. A good bit of acting.
Anderson Varejao
Flop.
King James, parked in his directors chair, during his infamous "Decision" television special.
There you have it. 6 logos that symbolize the heart of the NBA. David Stern take note. Also, we're hoping to make posters of some of these. If anyone is interested (hoping to keep it under $10), let us know and we'll order some of whatever logo you'd like.

These are really nice! I love the flop! Another LeBron one might be the Cavs mascot with a knifehandle in the back?
I give Pierce a Wheelchair pass – he did survive getting stabbed in the face 11 times. Wade on the other hand needed a wheelchair for a shoulder injury?!

As Queensland recovers from a summer of flooding and cyclone, the Blue Skies Vision for an inclusive community remains as alive and relevant as ever. While it outlines clear expectations for accessible places, public places, and local infrastructure and homes, it reminds us that social infrastructure is just as important.
The relationships built and strengthened, and the opportunity to see people with disability as part of recovery teams (rather than passive recipients of support), reminded us that the ways in which people play valued roles and contribute to the life of the community are as richly diverse as the community itself.
The response of Queenslanders has also challenged us to rethink our assumptions about the relationship between vulnerability and resilience. It is no longer reasonable to equate resilience with independence and self-sufficiency. Broadening our definition of resilience to include relationship and interconnectedness opens the way to move creative investment in disaster readiness, response and recovery. It opens the way for investment in capacity building for individuals and family; for grassroots community development work; and for shifting from our traditional deficit based models of intervention to an acknowledgement of the strengths and assets in the community and all its people.
2011 will bring a new push to imbed the Blue Skies Principles and Elements across all government departments including, but not limited to, the reconstruction agenda, all new residential housing development, local infrastructure and planning, education and health reform agendas.
2011 will also see the unfolding of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and expectations of a strong, coherent policy and investment response from government.
2011 will see the disability service sector adapt and respond with more contemporary, responsive services, backed by policy that is coherent and supports progress toward fairer, more equitable and comprehensive distribution of resources.
2011 will see key stakeholders in education, health, local government and other fields mobilise around the Blue Skies Scenario aligning it with their own work plans and efforts.
National Disability Services Queensland has invited participants from across the disability sector to be part of a series of conversations to begin to explore the sectors readiness for a national disability insurance scheme and to start mapping the work of building capacity in people with a disability, their families, service providers and the broader community. The conversations will run between September and December.


They got closest in 2004, when a bill made it all the way to desk of former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who vetoed it. Since then, offers from lawmakers to carry new legislation have dried up, and an effort to take the question to the ballot last year went nowhere.
So Pat Wright, the indefatigable leader of California's pro-ferret movement, turned to the Fish and Game Commission, which before 1985 had occasionally issued permits for neutered male ferrets as an exemption to the ban.
Though the commission would not reverse the "wild animals" classification, Wright submitted a petition requesting that it again permit ferrets under certain circumstances.
FEEL BETTER: One of the most drastic changes proposed in the Legislature this session is SB 562, which seeks to establish a universal, government-run health care system in California. The bill is a major priority for progressives, but faces massive obstacles, including its steep price tag and tremendous opposition from business groups. Ahead of its first hearing in the Senate Health Committee, 1:30 p.m. in Room 4203 of the Capitol, supporters will rally for a policy that they argue would save consumers from out-of-control health care costs. Democratic Sens. Ricardo Lara of Bell Gardens and Toni Atkins of San Diego, who jointly authored SB 562, and leaders from the sponsoring California Nurses Association are among those scheduled to speak, 10:30 a.m. at the Sacramento Convention Center, before marching to the Capitol at 12:15 p.m.
SAVINGS ACCOUNT: California is moving to close the last of its state-run "developmental centers" for the severely disabled and transfer those patients to community facilities. It's expected to save the state hundreds of thousands of dollars in care per person – money that Assembly Republicans want to make sure continues to go to developmental disability services, rather than reverting to the General Fund. They will gather with advocates for developmentally disabled Californians to urge support for a budget request by Assemblyman Devon Mathis, R-Visalia, at 1:30 p.m. on the west steps of the Capitol. Mathis will present his request to the Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Health and Human Services at 2:30 p.m. in Room 444.
TALK THAT TALK: During her 14 years in the Legislature, San Diego Democrat Denise Moreno Ducheny, who termed out in 2010, chaired budget committees in both the Senate and the Assembly, carried legislation to create a state council overseeing Salton Sea restoration, and worked extensively on issues along the border with Mexico. She was recently interviewed for the Center for California Studies' "State Government Oral History Program," and will be honored with a reception, 5 p.m. at the California Museum on O St., where the document will be officially presented to the State Archives.
CELEBRATIONS: Happy birthday to Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-Greenbrae, who turns 43 today.

2) (Optional) If you're interested in a more detailed dissection tutorial, check out How to Dissect an Owl Pellet from Scott Brooks.
3) Aquire your supplies. At a minimum, you'll need an owl pellet and an identification sheet. You can get them at Pellets.com, Amazon, or, ya know, somewhere else. There are a ton of identification sheets available online, but if you don't want to search for your favorite this one from Nature Watch seems solid.
4) Dissect your owl pellet.
5) Sort and identify the bones you found using your identification sheet.
6) Take a photo to document your experience and post it on Instagram or Twitter with the tag #QuestScouts. Alternatively, you can also share your photo in our Facebook group.
Note: Owl pellet dissection won't be everyone's jam, as while interesting it's also kinda gross. Some scouts will choose not to do this objective for that reason. Out of respect, let's try to share photos that won't make the more squeamish scouts queasy.
7) In the comments below, describe your experience. Where did you get your pellet? What was the process of dissection like for you? What bones did you identify? Could you tell what animal they were from?

How Much Money Do Anesthesiologists Make In 2016?
It's that time of year again. Medscape has released its survey of physician salaries for 2016. Full disclosure--I participated in the poll when it was sent out. Over 19,000 physicians filled out the poll and about 6% of the responses were from anesthesiologists. So how much money did anesthesiologists report making this year? Drumroll please.
The annual compensation reported by anesthesiologists was $360,000. This was about even with last year's number of $358,000. This tiny increase came in at the low end among all doctors. Internal Medicine and Rheumatology each registered a 12% increase in salary compared to last year. Only Pulmonary and Allergy/Immunology actually reported drops in salaries. Anesthesiologists came in seventh in a list comparing physician incomes. We trail Orthopedics, Cardiology, Dermatology, Gastroenterology, Radiology, and Urology. Seventh isn't bad, but it seems like others are doing better.
Anesthesiologists who work in the North Central region of the country, the Dakotas down to Kansas and Missouri, made the most money, averaging $413,000. The geographic area with the worst compensation was the Mid-Atlantic region, from the Carolinas up to Pennsylvania. The anesthesiologists there reported incomes of about $342,000.
Male anesthesiologists, as always, made more money than female anesthesiologists, $372,000 to $317,000. Don't start screaming "DISCRIMINATION!" based on this persistent difference in salaries. There are lots of reasons why female doctors make less than their male colleagues. Self employed male anesthesiologists reported incomes averaging $413,000. Self employed female anesthesiologists earned $357,000. We've had several female partners leave our group recently for employed positions because they want the more predictable hours of being an employee. Female employed anesthesiologists reported to the survey incomes of only $307,000. If you don't put in the time, you're not going to get the dime.
Are anesthesiologists satisfied with their income? Yes, according to 55% of the respondents. That is 6th on the list of all doctors. Dermatology topped the list with 66% rate of satisfaction. This was followed by Pathology, Emergency Medicine, Psychiatry, and Radiology. Looks like Radiology is still holding its own despite all the doom and gloom about the specialty being outsourced and saturated. Surprisingly Urology was at the bottom of the satisfaction rating despite their high incomes and supposed country club hours.
About 54% of anesthesiologists are satisfied with their careers. This is midpack on the list of all physicians. Once again Dermatology was at the head of the class with 65% reported being satisfied. No wonder Derm is one of the hardest residencies to get.
Bottom line? Anesthesiologists are just treading water while other specialties appear to be surging ahead. Though most anesthesiologists report being satisfied with their careers, I wonder how long that good feeling will last when they see their medical colleagues in the doctor's lounge moving ahead in compensation. There's a lot more to see in the Medscape survey.

Celebity by a long shot!
Norris - sorry to interrupt - but if you could share where your review of Princess vs Celebrity is located - I would greatly appreciate it. In this frigid weather I'm doing a lot of reading and catching up on your reviews is at the top of my list! Thank you!
Thank you for a wonderful review that I came across this evening. You are doing a fantastic job! While I wait for further postings of yours, I would love to read about your sailing on the Crown Princess as we are contemplating a cruise on her this year. We have sailed strictly on Celebrity, which we love, for the past twenty years but want to try a different itinerary. Could you share how I would find it? Pat posted some wonderful pictures of her South American cruise which were great (and I will read about later) I don't know Pat but by any chance is this the same Pat who took her grandson on a cruise to Russia? If so, I sure loved her very detailed and picturesque review of that trip and want to thank her!
What is a kneeling bus? Also, regarding porters at Heathrow, expensive? Like how much?
Thank you - you have all been very helpful!
My husband uses a rollator (walker) and I need to know when we disembark the ship - how far would the distance be to access a transfer service. I am not familiar with the Southampton port and wonder how we would manage once we were off the ship. Is there any assistance available?
Does anyone know if there is luggage valet offered on disembarking at a city in Europe?
Would someone with a walker have any trouble using it at most places on the edge?
I hope you will share with us the continuation of your trip to London. Loving every word and picture of your review. Thank you so very much.
Thank you very much John. I will look into this further with the websites you provided.
If one were to take a taxi to Dover Castle, is there a steep incline to navigate to start touring. My husband would have a bit of trouble walking uphill.
I used the credit this summer on a cruise to Alaska. It's 75% of the cruise price. It is good for a year from the date of the cancelled cruise and can be used wherever you care to book. You receive it in the form of a letter which when I booked using it, I faxed a copy to the travel agency. Worked well for me.

Govia's Customer Services Investigated
Govia Thameslink is to be investigated over communication with passengers before and after the introduction of new timetables which led to major disruption.
Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), along with north of England operator Northern are suspected of breaching a condition of their operating licence which requires them to provide "appropriate, accurate and timely information" to enable passengers to plan journeys "with a reasonable degree of assurance".
The investigation has been launched by rail regulator the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) after its wider inquiry into the timetable chaos identified concerns with the quality of updates given to passengers.
The May 20 timetable change was intended to deliver huge benefits to passengers as a result of major upgrades to the network, but instead saw services crippled in the north and south-east of England.
GTR and Northern cancelled up to 470 and 310 trains respectively each day during the disruption, which lasted several weeks.
Anthony Smith, chief executive of passenger watchdog Transport Focus, said:
"Passengers were badly let down when new timetables descended into chaos on some Govia Thameslink and Northern routes.
One thing that would have helped passengers work around these problems was accurate, timely and useful information - but in many cases that was not provided.
It's only right that the regulator investigates if these companies breached the passenger information obligations in their licence."
The investigation is expected to be concluded by the end of next month.
An ORR spokesman said:
"The opening of an investigation does not imply that we have made any findings about non-compliance by either company.
If ORR finds the companies in breach of their licence obligations, it could result in enforcement action such as a financial penalty."
GTR said it will "co-operate fully" with the inquiry.


The numbers may be small at St Joseph's Primary School, Bulahdelah, but there is no shortage of enthusiasm, individual attention and community feeling.
Teacher Sarah Bragato welcomed six Kinders to the school on Wednesday and a number of parents and grandparents were on hand to share the big day.
However, most of the Kinders had participated in the Early Start program one day a week last year, so St Joseph's felt very much like home for them and their families.
Once inside the classroom, which Kinders share with Year 1, there was so much to absorb: books to be pored over; crayons, pencils and paints to develop the inner artist; tea parties to enjoy; computers for each student and 'dress ups' to stimulate young imaginations.
The year is brimming promise for these young St Joseph's students!

Adam, Ford, Jeffrey and Restarick special guests at Bristol Rovers game
We're delighted to welcome four ex-Reds to this afternoon's game against Bristol Rovers.
Paul Adam, Mark Ford, Viv Jeffrey and Steve Restarick are all attending the match as guests of the Former Players Association.
Paul, Mark and Viv were all signed by Ted Shepherd in 1993 and between them made more than 500 appearances for the club.
Steve came to Crawley in 2001 and made 59 appearances in the next two seasons.
FPA chairman Tony Vessey said: "I played alongside Mark, Viv and Paul and they are all great players for the football club. Paul and Mark still live fairly locally but Viv is based in Lincolnshire now and it will be great to see them all again."
They will be introduced to the crowd at half-time so please give them a good reception!

Mitered borders frame a finished quilt nicely. Follow these step-by-step instructions to learn how.
When our instructions specify mitered borders, the cutting instructions include the extra length needed to miter corners. However, if you'd like to substitute a mitered border for a standard straight border, cut strips the width (but not the length) specified. For side border strip length, measure through quilt center from top to bottom, then add twice the border width plus 6". For example, if your quilt measures 40" long and your border is 5" wide, you would cut your side border strips 56" long (40" + 10" + 6"). For top and bottom border strip length, measure through quilt center from side to side, then add twice the border width plus 6".

She was the 1st woman and the 1st non-white to join the famous St.George Medical School as a consultant senior lecturer in the 250-year-old history of the institution. And with a salary of ₤85,000 a year, she was one of the highest paid doctors in London. Dr. Resmi Varma, who made significant contributions in the field of gynecology and obstetrics, especially in the treatment of infertility in Britain for about 3 decades, has now come back to India to employ her talents here.
Dr.Varma, who had a brilliant academic career, was the best outgoing student and gold medallist from Tamil Nadu in medicine. Years later she had the honour to represent her adopted country, Britain, at an international conference held at Cuttack in 1977 � the 1st foreigner to have that honour.
She was a member of the Royal Senate and Royal Society of Medicine and in those capacities traveled all over the world.
However, her success had its bitter side too. She had to fight against colour and gender discrimination all the 24 years of her service. At the end of her patience, she took the matter to court. In an out of court settlement, the authorities offered to pay her a huge sum as compensation.
But honour was more important for her. Finally the medical school agreed to institute a medal in her name for the best postgraduate student in gynecology and obstetrics and to have a �Dr.Resmi Varma Scientific Annual Lecture�.
As the most cherished achievement in her life, she lists her work on infertility. �I treasure the letters from many grateful couple, who wrote to say that I had brought meaning to their lives�.
"Half an egg is better than an empty shell."


For whatever reason when the topic of metrics comes up on monthly basis, some IT Teams get "nervous" about what they might see as a result.
The reasons could be as varied as the aplications we support. For some it may be that they are concerned that they aren't doing as well as their IT counterparts, for others it might be that our incident durations are not going down. whatever teh reason may be the fact remains you business already knows how well you are doing. Hopefully your organization is in a position to take these metrics improve on the delivery of service.
For me, I have always believed that there is no "bad" numbers as long as we are able to use them to make an improvement in some way. Reporting should open up our options for what needs to be improved.
Take, for example, the increased numbers of incidents or requests with no understanding on what is driving this increase. As you look closely into the potential driver know this, there is always something driving them. We might not be able to see it and it may not always be something critical. If you were to ask the teams which are impacted by the influx they may have some theories, and while in many cases their gut response may be accurate, we need to quantify the drivers for this to be able to tackle things appropriately.
Take the story of the frog in the pot of water. If you were to drop a frog in a pot of boiling water it will jump right out. However if you put it in warm water and slowly turn up the heat it will sit in there, possibly until it boils. This may apply to the way that you record and ultimately report on your incidents. You may only have a few of these now but when you look back after repeated business escalations you are shocked as how you didn't put this all together while it was happening. This is where Problem Management pays in dividends.
The key is that with any improvement initiative is to have some quantifiable information to go back to. It really wont matter if you have a formalized problem investigation or not if you cant prove out what you are looking at. this is why we say that to make any real improvements you cant do it only in one process. in this case we need to manage our reporting and document it somewhere, perhaps in a knowledge base.
this discussion started out talking about the reduction of incidents and now it sounds like we need to improve in many areas just to make some improvements. it sounds daunting but we need to take a step back and identify what we want to do and keep it simple and iterative. We need to start somewhere and that somewhere is today. We might stumble a bit, but you have to walk before you can use the "Turbo Boost".

74,530 ICT professionals are employed in Alberta in early 2015. Of them, 2,170 are youth aged 25 or younger, 8,300 are nearing retirement, 18,430 are women, and 23,320 are immigrants. In addition, 44,970 work in Calgary, 18,770 work in Edmonton, and another 10,790 work in the rest of the province. Industries outside the ICT sector are major users of ICT products and services. The demand for top ICT talent continues to grow and has resulted in expanding career options for ICT professionals, placing competitive pressure on the employers seeking technical ICT talent. Among employed ICT professionals, 27,800 work in the ICT sector, while 46,730 work in other sectors (e.g. energy, finance, health).
As the current ICT workforce ages, not many youth are opting for ICT careers, leaving a void that could potentially limit Alberta's future competitiveness before long. Significantly fewer youth work in ICT professions than in other jobs. In contrast, ICT professions have a greater proportion of workers in the older age groups compared to the total provincial workforce.
Under three economic scenarios over a 5-year horizon, a combination of employment growth and replacement requirements produces estimates of cumulative hiring requirements. Under a baseline scenario, over 8,900 new ICT jobs are expected to be created in Alberta by 2019. It is projected that the availability of homegrown ICT talent will not be sufficient to meet these hiring requirements. Combined with replacement demand due to retirements and other exits, Alberta would have to fill 17,300 ICT positions over the next five years. By 2019, cumulative hiring requirements for ICT talent are expected to be over 10,600 in Calgary, over 4,000 in Edmonton, and over 2,500 in rest of Alberta.
Under a contractionary scenario, hiring requirements are projected to decline to 15,300 compared to the baseline scenario hiring requirements of 17,300. Alternatively, in an expansionary scenario, Alberta employers will need to hire over 19,700 ICT professionals. This outlook underscores the significance of accessing all available talent to address the demand-supply imbalance in ICT professions.

FANG Stocks' Bite Has Fund Managers Looking for Alternatives
(Marc Pinter | Dreamstime)
Wednesday, 28 March 2018 03:31 PM EDT
Fund managers have begun to ditch so-called FANG stocks that powered the U.S. stock market to record highs in January and are slowly rotating into commodity-related shares and other value stocks which typically outperform in late-cycle recoveries.
Portfolio managers holding shares of Facebook Inc, Amazon.com Inc, Netflix Inc, and Google-parent Alphabet Inc say they are increasingly concerned that the data scandal that has sent shares of Facebook down nearly 15 percent year-to-date will spill over into all of the FANG stocks, imperiling the broad market's momentum at a time when there are no clear companies or sectors to take their place.
On Tuesday, an index which tracks the FANG stocks along with six other mega-cap technology stocks tumbled 6.3 percent, the biggest decline since September 2014.
Facebook rose as much as 1.5 percent in early trading Wednesday before falling into the red, one day after sources told Reuters that chief executive Mark Zuckerberg plans to testify before Congress. Amazon.com dropped 4 percent, while Netflix fell 5 percent. Google-parent Alphabet was slightly positive.
"There are legitimate concerns over the business models of these companies, and I expect that they will be ironed out in legislation" that will likely eat into their profit margins, said Michael Cuggino, a portfolio manager of the $17-billion Permanent Portfolio funds.
Cuggino, who would not say whether he was selling any of his shares in Facebook, said that commodity and industrial stocks look more attractive now given rising inflation and continued global economic growth.
Each FANG company rose more than 33 percent last year, helping power the S&P 500 to a nearly 20-percent gain. Yet those gains have left the broad S&P 500 trading at a high trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 21.7, leaving it overpriced despite a boost to margins from the Republican-led corporate tax cut at the end of 2017.
"Rising volatility and changing market leadership are now pointing towards the possible conclusion that the stock market peaked in late January 2018," said Douglas Kass, president of Seabreeze Capital Management.
The S&P 500 is now down 2.2 percent for the year, and down nearly 10 percent below the high of 2872.87 it reached on Jan. 26.
Fund managers say that the high valuation of FANG stocks and the likelihood of regulation are pushing them into traditional value stocks like energy and defense companies.
Connor Browne, a portfolio manager at Thornburg Investment Management, said that he sold his shares of Netflix and Amazon.com last year after both companies blew through his price targets. He used those gains instead to increase positions in energy stocks such as pipeline operator Enterprise Products Partners LP and crude oil shipping company Overseas Shipholding Group Inc that stand to benefit from the recovery in the price of oil.
"We noticed that in all of this excitement over the FANGs taking over the world, there are parts of the economy that seem really out of favor and offer more compelling opportunities," he said.
Even after the selloff, FANG stocks continue to trade at higher valuations than the broad market. Netflix trades at a P/E of 210 and Amazon.com trades at a P/E of 327. Facebook and Google-parent Alphabet, both of which have been directly linked with privacy concerns, now trade at valuations near 52-week lows.
The overhang of increased government oversight has sunk the fortunes of large technology companies in the past. Microsoft Corp reached a settlement in an antitrust case with the Department of Justice in 2002 that lasted until 2011, contributing to a long period of underperformance that kept the stock below the high it reached in 1999 until 2016. Since then, the stock is up nearly 60 percent on the strength of its cloud-based services.
Margaret Patel, a senior portfolio manager at Wells Fargo Funds, said that she has been adding to defense stocks like Raytheon Co that should benefit from increasing military spending in both the U.S. and overseas. At the same time, she is increasing her exposure of non-FANG technology stocks like Adobe Systems Inc and Microsoft that have been hurt by the recent sell-off in the sector.
"It's very hard to see another sector that still has all the fundamental drivers for growing much faster than any other sector," she said.

"Storytelling…not just a clever sharing of mind alone but rather a sharing of heart and spirit."
Ruth Sawyer ~The Way of the Storyteller
Introducing Anne E Stewart
Over thirty five years ago these words, inspired children's librarian Anne E Stewart to embark on her storyteller's journey. Her aim was to develop a love of language and literature in her young audience. With many years experience since then, Anne has expanded her repertoire and now works with any age group and audience to tell the shared stories of Australia, promote cultural understanding, raise issues of social justice and increasingly, to help others give voice to their own unique stories. Anne knows that everyone loves listening to stories and acknowledges that more than ever, people are using stories to educate, engage and build a sense of community.
With her lengthy commitment to storytelling in Australia, Anne has also gained a reputation overseas as one of Australia's foremost storytellers. Anne was the first Australian storyteller to be invited to Mexico and South America by Dream On Productions and has also represented Australia at the Scottish Storytelling Centre's annual festival while Graham Langley, Director of the Traditional Arts Team in the UK had this to say about her , "Anne is an acclaimed storyteller with an international reputation. Her telling is a unique cultural experience." In 2013 Anne was a Guest of the 16th International Storytelling Festival in Tabriz in Iran
Along the way Anne has developed her writing skills and has contributed numerous articles and interviews about storytelling and storytellers to various publications. She has been commissioned to write stories for various cultural institutions including ` the National Museum of Australia, the Art Gallery of Ballarat, the University of Ballarat, the Dromkeen Gallery Art Collection and the Melbourne City Council. She has researched, written and produced stories for ABC radio and has appeared on several television programs including the ground breaking children's program Lift Off .
Anne is a versatile storyteller with the energy and voice to engage any audience. She can perform stories from her own repertoire or customise a program to match the age group and interest level of the listener. She has honed her skills with many impromptu performances and is known as a passionate and engaging performer and a consummate Master of Ceremonies for any occasion.
Anne is happy to perform at concerts, festivals, as an after dinner speaker, in cultural centres, libraries, schools and other educational institutions.

Actress Alycia Debnam Carey attends the "Into The Storm" premiere at AMC Lincoln Square Theater on Aug. 4, 2014 in New York City.
The Walking Dead companion series has cast its first two victims, er, actors: British actor Frank Dillane (who played Tom Riddle in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and Alycia Debnam Carey (Into the Storm) have signed onto the eagerly anticipated AMC series.
The news was first reported by Deadline and reports have suggested the project has a title—Cobalt—but a source at the network says that name is not correct.
The young actors will play the kids of one of the show's main characters, a female guidance counselor who is not yet cast. Dillaine is her "former druggie" son and Debnam Carey is her "ambitious" daughter. We're sure this trio will remain a supportive and intact family unit for many seasons of the show … ahem.
The spin-off is co-created by Robert Kirkman and Dave Erickson. It will take during the same zombie apocalypse in the original series, but in a different location and possibly at a different time.

President Trump just wrapped up a rally in Great Falls, Montana, where he definitely went off script and … well, you know how he is when he goes off script.
One crowd-pleasing moment was when Trump said that if his Democratic opponent in 2020 was Sen. Elizabeth Warren, he'd offer her $1 million to take a DNA test.
Trump on Elizabeth Warren: "I'm going to get one of those little DNA kits and if I'm debating her, we will toss it to her, very gently so it doesn't injure her arm, and we'll say, 'Pocahontas, I'll give you a million dollars if you take the test to show you're an Indian!'"
To charity. Why is EVERYONE leaving that out?
Warren responds … well, more like changes the subject.
Interesting. She doesn't deny faking her heritage.


Do you find yourself unable to function at the level you used to or at the level you wish to? Stress may be interfering with your life. Do you find yourself worrying, feeling physical (muscle) tension, have rapid heart rate or do a lot of "what-if-ing" or postponing work because you feel overwhelmed? If you say "yes" to both, then you need to manage your stress and inject a suitable wellness system, else, see a doctor.
Completely banishing stress from your life is inevitable. I also speak for my self. As I consistently try my hardest and seek new endeavors, I naturally feel challenged and most often even stressed. Though I know this is all part of personal growth, but sometimes stress threatens to overwhelm me.
Fortunately, there are steps we can take to minimize its negative toll, and to prevent it from getting a grip on us in the first place. One best suggestion I could give is to have a regular relaxation schedule, such as enjoying an herbal infusion drink, freshly squeezed juices and massages and facials.
What if I tell you that there is a retreat hidden in the concrete jungle, also known as Ayala, Makati?
One can find recoil from the daily grind and be feted by a number of options of unique spa treatments - from massages, spa facials and body scrubs.
Isis Wellness and Spa is a new place slowly getting the words out there from their fresh batch of discerning spa enthusiasts. Great care has been taken to provide a profound experience -- where the senses are drawn inward through the right blend of oils, freshly prepared natural ingredients, the unmistakable healing touch and service with a soul.
These are the fine details that allow each moment to gently unfold and deliver one to wellness.
How do I know? Well, not only is this place owned by a couple friend of mine who exemplify passion. They are professionally known to provide utmost service in the field they have worked on for years.
Isis Wellness and Spa is inside Prince Plaza 1 Condominium, which is just across Greenbelt 5 along Legazpi St., Makati.
The mood of Isis is one of tranquility, remoteness and essentially all-natural, earth-tones. The green walls, dark wood fixtures and some memoirs of their Asian trips all weave in to exude an environment that is soothing.
The spa embraces a holistic approach to physical and spiritual well-being with an extensive treatment menu that was developed from years of experience working from the lowliest massage services to the highest 5-star hotel clienteles, which includes sheikhs and Hollywood celebs.
The spa uses only non-comedogenic products made up of all-natural botanicals with no perfumes, dyes, alcohol or any other elements. For facial spa treatments, they use the all-natural Pevonia products which contain no chemicals, ensuring the purity of the product.
I've known Merna Brazil-Derouet, one of the spa owner, since we had our second child (now we had four, and that kid is now in college). I totally swear by her healing touch, not the way an "albularyo" or folk healer does it, but by how she have managed to effectuate a craft that not too many would persevere. Every time I would have strained muscles, back pains, sprains and of course, the dreaded "lamig," she would be the only person I can count on. Not that I haven't tried going to other spas and therapists, I actually have tried quite a few, but most of them come short of the therapy I needed.
I'm so happy for Merna and Didier Derouet, now that they have finally opened up a new concept wellness venue where they try to cater to all the senses for a total wellness experience.
Isis' door barely opened last Saturday, with a simple dedication and prayer, and a sampling of what the couple offers.
Merna certainly have her hands full with the admin work and the whole facilitation, including training the therapists. Didier, on the other end is busy with dishing up tea infusion and refreshing concoctions paired to every pampering need. He just happened to be one of the best pastry chef I know, with years of expertise and Fairmonts and Raffles hotel have been on his background's list.
After the short Biblical impartation of the business, the guests were served with cocktails.
Upon every guests' arrival, welcome refreshments will be served. We had a sampling of that on the opening. What we all thought as Sprite or champagne was a glass of lemongrass infused sparkling water. At the end of the therapy, you can choose to have hot tea or a cold shot of their freshly juiced.
That was me and their pastor friend at the back, both of us had one hour of rejuvenating Foot Reflexology. The room, btw, was dimly lit but they still had to put soothing lavander-scented eye pillows. Time for me to get a shut-eye, which I don't normally do in the afternoon. The aroma, the background music and the strokes from the hands of my therapist, blended so well to induce sleep.
After my treatment, I was offered tea and I never say no to hot teas, and together with that to shortly end our snack, we were served with fresh fruit salad.
I'm officially making Isis my retreat hub. I also had tried one of their Facial spa and will yet to write about them and how Pevonia products might replace my daily facial cleaning regimen. For now, I'll be relying with Isis' regular facial pampering that's not evasive and no more tears, just cleansed, supple and young-looking skin.
It's now your turn, they are open everyday from 10 am to 8 pm. It is best to call them at 0921 572 8408 to reserve your preferred time but they do welcome walk ins. For more inquiries like their Facebook page- ISIS WELLNESS AND SPA.

ivWatch Announces Relocation Commitment to Accommodate Growth
ivWatch, the innovator in the detection of intravenous (IV) infiltrations and extravasations, announced relocation to Tech Center Research Park
NEWPORT NEWS, Va., March 6, 2018 – ivWatch, the only provider of medical devices for the early detection of intravenous (IV) infiltrations and extravasations, announced today that it is moving forward with plans to relocate from their Hampton and Williamsburg facilities to anchor Newport News Tech Center Research Park's Building One. The move will increase operational efficiency by combining all departments, including manufacturing and research and development, under one roof.
"We are experiencing continued growth year after year in staff size, sales and manufacturing operations," said Gary Warren, president and CEO of ivWatch. "The decision to move to the Research Park supports the execution of our business and recruiting plans. Within the next four years, we plan to add 150 new employees to support our international market-entry and expanding our sales activity in the U.S. through two leading healthcare group purchasing organization(GPO) contracts."
The company has made substantial progress in developing, designing and commercializing a pioneering non-invasive biosensor technology. Terumo Corporation, one of the world's leading medical device manufacturers and distributors, was recently named the exclusive distributor for ivWatch in Japan. Additionally, through "Breakthrough" and "Innovative" technology group purchasing contract awards from Premier and Vizient, the ivWatch Model 400 is more accessible to thousands of hospitals and healthcare systems across the U.S.
The Newport News Tech Center will be home to more than one million square feet of space across 11 planned buildings, punctuated by restaurants, shops, fitness clubs, biking trails and gathering spots. With a highly-skilled workforce, the addition of ivWatch to the Research Park will help foster and fuel the technology sector in the Hampton Roads area.
The new headquarter building is part of ivWatch's investment in supporting their growing operations and customer base as well as the community.
"The best companies are those with access to research, influence and partners with resources you don't have yet. As a young company in the medical device market, it's essential to develop and pursue those types of resources to build a company in this tightly regulated industry," said Warren. "We are proud of the success we've achieved, and this workplace will allow us to provide access to others by sharing our journey of how we turned research and data into a solution-based application used in leading hospitals across the country."
Master building plans include prominent ivWatch signage on the exterior of the building, with ivWatch occupying more than 25,500 sq. ft. including manufacturing, warehouse space on the first floor, and state-of-the-art office space on the first and third floors. The company will keep their open floor plan concept which they've found facilitates interdepartmental collaboration. The building will include space for other tenants, co-working spaces and a business accelerator program.
The construction of the building is underway, with a target move-in date of late 2018.

Tisha Morris – Book Journeys Author Interview
Leave a Comment / Blog / By Alvin Ramirez / December 20, 2012 March 11, 2020
In this post, we review Dr. Angela Lauria's Book Journeys interview with author Tisha Morris, author of Feng Shui Your Life.
According to merriam-webster.com, feng shui is "a Chinese system for positioning a building and the objects within a building in a way that is thought to agree with spiritual forces and to bring health and happiness." Tisha didn't originally set out to become a feng shui consultant, but after practicing law for a time, she realized it wasn't for her, and so went into interior design; and it was while she was doing that, and investigating into energy healing, that she got involved in feng shui, studying it and eventually becoming a feng shui consultant.
The idea for the book, Feng Shui Your Life, came after her handling her first workshop on the subject. At the end of the workshop, a woman asked, "What do I do first?" and Tisha, having no immediate, clear answer, just replied as best she could.
Her goal for the book was to make feng shui accessible to the average person on the practical level, and in this regard the book is written in a chronological manner, based on that woman's question. Given that feng shui is, according to her, as much art as it is science, and given that there are a lot of rules involved in feng shui, Tisha prioritized practicality in her book.
Tisha's writing and publication of Feng Shui Your Life actually started when she heard that Turner Publishing was doing a series of books and sent them an outline proposal of her book, which was accepted. Tisha then spent two months writing the book out, doing her work in coffee shops in blocks of at least half a day, after breaking the book down into two major parts, and, from there, into individual chapters. She took one month to complete one part of the book, and then another month to complete the other part, and her breaking down the parts enabled her to keep track of what she needed to get done on a weekly and daily basis. She didn't work on the book all the time, allowing herself ten minutes every hour to reward herself by searching through the Internet or checking her e-mail, which Angela acknowledged was a good way to operate.
Tisha recommended that new authors have a "plan B," another project, already lined up once their first book is published, and she has applied it to herself. In reality, Feng Shui Your Life was the second book Tisha wrote, even though it was the first one published. She had written out her first book, Mind Body Home, over a period of six years, and this would become her second published book.

DOWNLOAD Book Journeys Author Interview -Tisha Morris – Dec 20 2012


Clicking the Download button will take you to the Capo product page on the Mac App Store. Once there, you will find a free download for the 3.7 update.
If you already purchased Capo, your license key information will automatically unlock the features in the free trial. There should be no further action on your part once Capo is downloaded.
Capo has a fresh, new look on the Mac! We've integrated the Heads-Up Display and Control Strip that first appeared in Capo touch, and now offer an all-new dark appearance that's exclusive to macOS Mojave.
We also made numerous enhancements to existing features based on your feedback and bug reports. Keep those emails coming—we love hearing from our customers!
The Heads-Up Display now occupies the bottom of the main window, and allows for a wider view of your song's content.
The new Control Strip keeps Capo's various controls organized, and discoverable.
In addition to supporting Dark Mode, we took care to respect your preferred system-wide accent color wherever it seemed appropriate to do so.
You can make Capo's window shorter now that we moved the Heads-Up Display. This is great for users that like to use Capo alongside other apps.
Capo now lets you change the Metronome volume separately from the Song and Note volumes using the new Mixer controls found in the PLAYBACK control strip.
We enlarged the Isolation controls (now accessible from the PLAYBACK control strip) to make the pan energy display easier to see, and to allow finer adjustments in sliders.
The Metronome and Count-In settings (now in the PLAYBACK control strip) no longer allow you to set a Count-In without the Metronome click. Now when Count-In is enabled, Capo will always play the click and the 1-, 2-, or 4-bar count-in only applies when a looping region is active. This is now consistent with the behavior in Capo touch.
We moved the Song Views popup to the Heads-Up Display—at the bottom-right of the window—so that it remains visible in Full-Screen mode, and can display view-related controls to its left.
Region titles now appear much larger, making them easier to read.
We switched from an included help file to using online documentation, which is easier for us to keep up-to-date, and easier for you to read. Win-win!
The resizing handles on regions have also grown larger to make it more obvious that regions can be resized, and also to make it clear when the region is active.
You can now de-select a Region (and disable looping) by simply clicking on it.
Movement between Regions—whether initiated by their keyboard shortcuts or control strip buttons—behaves in a way that makes sense depending on the current selection and playback state.
When editing chords, shapes are now drawn the same as in the timeline.
Keyboard shortcuts listed in the Control menu no longer show 'fn' entries beside certain commands.
The command names shown in the Edit Keyboard/MIDI Commands window now match the titles for the same commands in the main menu.
Capo no longer crashes when dragging chords on macOS Mojave.
Regions no longer flash while resizing during playback.
In the Export Notes and Chords… save panel, Capo now uses the song title rather than "Untitled" as its default filename.
When seeking during playback, the playhead no longer appears before the chosen playhead position.
When editing chords, certain partial search strings no longer return empty results.
This update addresses the crashes on systems that were missing a system-installed font.
Thanks to all the users that contacted us and submitted crash reports. You all rock!
This update addresses a number of issues that led to crashes on machines running macOS 10.11.
Piano Chords, and Support for 7 New Languages!
We're excited to introduce the all-new "Simple Piano" chords display, making it easier to locate chord tones on the keyboard using a simplified one-octave display. The bass note of the chord is marked differently from the rest of the notes, which is helpful when building your own two-handed chord voicings. Head to the Notes tab in the Song Settings sidebar and select "Simple Piano" from the Chords Popup button.
We're also pleased to announce that Capo has been translated to the following languages: French, Italian, German, Spanish (Laos), Japanese, Chinese (Traditional), and Chinese (Simplified). While we still only provide support in English, we would appreciate any feedback about how Capo behaves in your native language. We'd also like to hear any requests for additional languages you'd like to see added to this list.
The main chord display in the Practice and Tabbing views has a new look, and now shares its behavior (and code!) with Capo touch for iOS.
When a chord is selected, you can now navigate between chords using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
Capo now animates its changes between the different chord display options.
We spent some time improving the way Capo handles keyboard events in order to fix a number of issues where certain keystrokes would stop functioning.
Your volume slider settings should once again persist in preferences as they used to. That is, each time you change the volume your preferred setting will be applied to all new documents.
Custom-applied chord shapes that were saved using previous releases should once again appear as they were saved—sorry for the trouble!
By fixing the issue above, chord shapes that were edited and saved in the 3.5.7 update will not appear in 3.5.8 when you re-load the project. Furthermore, adjusted chord shapes in a project that had both a pitch adjustment and transposition applied (e.g. +1.56 semitones)—regardless of the version of Capo—those chord shapes must all be re-adjusted. We apologize for this inconvenience, and are working on making changes to eliminate this sort of flakiness in future updates.
We spent a lot of time reworking the music processing pipeline that powers Capo's chord, beat, and key detection. This work should improve the overall accuracy of Capo's results, and it paves the way for some features that we plan to add in the coming months.
The playhead now remains centered when playing loops, and no longer sticks to the right-hand side of the window. * When loading a project, the saved time signature is now shown correctly in the song settings.
When creating regions, dragging outside the view's bounds will now scroll as it does when resizing them.
The 'Detect All Chords' feature now indicates that it is running in the status area.
We love hearing from our customers, so please send us a support email if you have any questions for us. We're listening, and appreciate all your bug reports and feedback!
Capo no longer leaves a trail of "Drag Song Here" windows for each document that's loaded.
The 'TAB' header view should appear correctly for users running macOS High Sierra.
When selecting alternate chords on macOS High Sierra, the alternate chord selector is no longer clipped at the bottom of the popover.
The power spread display in the Isolation effect is no longer flipped in the L-R direction, and we made some minor changes internally to improve its sound quality.
Some of the above fixes are based on the crash reports and feedback emails that are submitted by our users. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us, and please keep the feedback coming! It helps us make Capo the best app that it can be!
Improved region navigation. With a region selected and the playhead inside the region, pressing the left and right arrow keys will navigate you to either the start or end of the current region first, and then to the previous/next region. Try it out, and let us know how this new behavior works for you!
Pressing rewind (or the left arrow key) during playback no longer jumps you to the start of the song.
The playhead no longer jumps backward (or to the end of a loop) when playback starts.
As always, we really appreciate all your crash submissions and feedback as it helps us to keep making Capo even better. You can reach us directly by choosing Help > Send Feedback from right inside Capo. We read all your emails!
This release addresses a crash on launch that was experienced by our users in Japan. Sorry for the trouble!
This release focuses on eliminating our most-reported crashes and bugs. We appreciate all your crash submissions and feedback emails, so keep them coming!
When adjusting the Isolation frequency slider, the high frequency setting no longer resets when playback is re-started.
Corrects a crash that occurred when scrubbing near the end of the song.
When the metronome item is added to the Touch Bar, Capo no longer crashes when closing a project.
Capo no longer crashes when importing metadata for certain audio files.
Fixed a drawing artifact that was visible near the end of the waveform while zooming.
Song Views, Transcription Playhead, and More!
Heads-up! We made a lot of big changes in the Capo 3.5 update, and we put together a quick tour of what's different in this release at our what's new in 3.5 page. Below is a quick summary of what's new.
Capo now shows you what's most important depending on what you're currently doing. While listening and practicing, the Practice song view puts the waveform front & center, with quick and easy region creation. The Tabbing song view reveals the spectrogram so you can continue picking out notes, and diving deeper into the performance as before.
Locks the playhead in place, re-starting playback from the same point until you move the playhead elsewhere.
Quickly navigate around the song using the waveform overview scrubber.
Lots of you really missed the markers from earlier releases, so we brought them back! Hit the 'M' key to drop a marker.
To loop a region, just select it and hit play. No more confusing loop toggle to worry about.
Regions can now be modified while they're looping.
When a region is selected, using the left/right arrow keys will move between the regions in the song.
We put together a nifty new bit of code that lets you scrub over your track and "hold" a note frozen in time as you drag the playhead. To engage scrubbing, click & drag the playhead around the timeline.
It's especially helpful to identify individual notes and find where they start while you're tabbing out a song using the spectrogram.
If you'd prefer to not see them, or you're short on screen space, you can toggle the Chords and Tablature notation in either of the Practice or Tabbing views. This is great for those that want a "bare-bones" Capo experience, and those with the golden ears!
Please share the news of this update with your friends and family via Twitter, Facebook, and by any other means you see fit. Capo continues to grow thanks to all your feedback and support, and we look forward to bringing you even more in 2017!
Note that Capo 3.5 requires macOS El Capitan (10.11) or later.
This update contains fixes for the most frequent crashes, and minor playback-related bugs. Thanks for all your submissions!
This update carries a rather large fix that's been long overdue—Capo is now at least 90% less wrong about reporting sharps and flats for your keys, and their respective chords! We apologize that it took so long, but we're pretty sure we have this nailed down now.
In addition, Capo should no longer crash when loading V2 documents. Capo now also correctly handles a very rare issue where certain audio files resulted in no chord detection results at all.
Note that Capo 3.4 requires OS X Yosemite 10.10 or later.
This update is all about Isolation! It completely replaces our old effects, and is powered by Neptune: our powerful new audio isolation engine that helps you isolate or eliminate guitars, bass, vocals, and anything else you're trying to hear more clearly. You'll find it in the spot where the effects used to be, in the In-Song Settings. When enabled, just sweep the panning slider around to find the instrument you're after, and tweak the width and frequency range to narrow in on the sound. See the included help file for more details on using Isolation in Capo.
We also spent some time fixing various little bugs and crashes all over the place to make Capo better overall. Crashes are much easier to fix thanks to your crash submissions, so we'd like to thank you again for sending those in. Rock on!
