Saleae Logic Analyzer
Take the pain out of debugging with the Saleae Logic Analyzer
By Mark Casilang
Saleae Logic: A Step Above
Logic analyzers allow designers to optimize and debug the hardware in their digital prototyping systems and allow technicians to identify and fix problems within malfunctioning systems. They capture and display multiple signals from a digital system or circuit and correlate assembly with source-level software or change recorded data into state machine traces, timing diagrams, assembly language, or protocol decodes.
Created with the user in mind, Saleae Logic Analyzers are ultra-portable for easy storage and carry and have an impressive look and feel. The smallest model is a mere 1.66" x 1.66" x 0.39" and the largest model is still only 3.6" x 3.6" x 0.59". The Logic software works on any Windows, Mac, or Linux operating system, allowing the user to easily work cross-platform. Unlike a typical oscilloscope or other logic analyzers, Saleae Logic can record continuously.
The History of Logic Analyzers
Logic analyzers are primarily used for testing complex digital circuits that make up computers. They were developed to undertake fault-finding and debugging on microprocessor based systems. They work equivalently to the way an oscilloscope displays and aids in the analysis of analog signals but use both digital and analog signals instead. They do not completely replace oscilloscopes, but for some applications, they can provide a much better result.
There are three types of logic analyzers: modular, portable and PC-based.
Modular logic analyzers are the standard form seen in labs. They have a chassis and multiple modules. They are the most expensive and provide the highest level of functionality.
Portable logic analyzers are more compact than modular log analyzers. They have everything integrated into a single module with a screen.
PC-based
PC-based logic analyzers are smaller and connect to a computer through USB or Ethernet cable. They don't require an additional monitor since they display through the PC's existing keyboard, display and CPU. PC-based logic analyzers are the least expensive, but are limited in terms of power compared to modular or portable analyzers. The Saleae Logic is a PC-based logic analyzer.
Saleae Features vs. Other Logic Analyzers
Modular Logic Analyzer
PC-based Logic Analyzer from Saleae
The Saleae Logic Analyzer has applications not included with other logic analyzers. Its top application allows it to decode multiple protocols at once while also displaying the original waveform. The user is able to compare data more easily than dedicated protocol decoding tools, saving both time and money.
It also has an application for debugging microcontroller peripherals. Pinpointing where an error is occurring helps the user troubleshoot in no time. This is especially useful when several different parts are responding to each other at once.
It can also be used as a USB-based data logger. The User Interface (UI) easily records and deciphers data saving its user frustration. You can download the software for free and use in simulation mode without the hardware from Saleae.com. Saleae also provides a software development kit (SDK) and an application programing interface (API).
In addition, Saleae offers a three year, no questions asked warranty that covers any malfunction despite its cause.
Saleae models and specs
Models for the Logic: Logic 4, Logic 8, Logic Pro 8 and Logic Pro 16. The number indicates the amount of inputs. The Logic 4 is the only model that has 3 digital inputs and one input that's both digital and analog. In all other models, all inputs are both digital and analog. Each input has a dedicated ground wire to provide optimal signal integrity with a flying lead test probe.
Logic 8 and up models feature the Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA, which interface to the USB bridge, digital inputs and the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The FPGA is capable of performing over 5 billion DSP operations per second. There is a low jitter of the ADC sampling clock to assure the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is not degraded.
The digital and analog sample rates vary between models. The Logic 4 digital sample rate and signal has 12 MS/s and 3 MHz, 6 MS/s and 600 kHz for analog. The Logic 8 specs are 100 MS/s and 25 MHz for digital and 10 MS/s and 1 MHz for analog. All Pro models feature 500 MS/s and 100 MHz for digital, and analog of 50 MS/s and 5 MHz.
Since Saleae is a PC-based logic analyzer, simply plug in the wire harness to your PC and it works with your computer's set up. You will need to download the software from Saleae.com. After the software is installed, setup the number and type of input channels, recording length and specific bandwidth. You can also customize the color and brightness of the LED.
Inside the Logic – Analog Side
Inside the Logic – Digital Side
After setting up your application, connect the digital circuit. Simply click "Start Simulation" to begin collecting data. The navigation is also easy–drag left or right and use the mouse to control zoom. Hover over data to view measurements and right click to display additional measurements.
The Saleae Logic Analyzer also allows the user to add triggers of digital edges or analog pulses in order to search for those events. You can include annotations of bookmarks, notes, timing markers and measurements to record specific events or decipher data.
Saleae Logic Software UI
The Saleae Logic Analyzer is one of the best logic analyzers available. Affordable for the hobbyist, its compact size and user friendly UI delivers efficient results with functionality comparable to a portable logic analyzer. Once you start using the Logic, you may never want to go back to other bulky, complicated logic analyzers.

Video: Boehner says contraception mandate will not stand
Tina Korbe Feb 08, 2012 4:25 PM ET
It's rare for the Speaker of the House to take to the floor to deliver pointed remarks against the president — but Speaker John Boehner did just that today. With fighting words, the Ohio Republican indicated that House Republicans will do whatever is in their power to reverse the administration's mandate that even religiously-affiliated, conscientiously-opposed-to-contraception employers offer insurance coverage for contraception to employees.
"This attack by the federal government on religious freedom in our country must not stand and will not stand," Boehner said.
He promised that the House will take action on an-already-introduced bill to repeal the policy as soon as possible.
Reports yesterday indicated that, given the backlash, the White House might be willing to compromise on the policy, after all — but Richard Doerflinger, a top official at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has already gone on record saying the proposed compromise could be even worse than the original policy. According to The Weekly Standard, Doerflinger wrote the following in an e-mail:
It's difficult to know what people may mean by the "Hawaii compromise." But a central feature of the Hawaii law is that every religious organization that is eligible for the exemption has to instruct all employees in how they can access all methods of contraception and sterilization locally "in an expeditious manner."
Just a few days ago the White House was saying that this is just about coverage, that no one has to be involved in getting people to the actual services they object to. It would be no improvement to say: "Sure, you don't have to include the coverage, you just have to send all your lay employees and women religious to the local Planned Parenthood clinic." The Administration's press release of January 20 hinted at such a requirement.
It's safe to say the president would never have insisted on the policy in the first place unless he felt reasonably sure the political math worked out. In other words, he would not have stood by this if he thought it in any way jeopardized his reelection. He was counting on the votes of women and young voters to offset any disappointment or disillusionment this caused in Catholic and other voters. If he is now considering a compromise because he's concerned the backlash is too great, you can bet it won't be to settle on a compromise that threatens the votes of the liberal women and youth he's courting with contraception coverage in the first place.
Religious-freedom-minded individuals continue to be outraged at the administration's decision, though, and, if it keeps up, the president could be forced to back down. Catholic League president Bill Donohue has even called for Catholics to take to the streets in peaceful protest. With Boehner promising repeal and the public vehemently rejecting the administration's blatant assault on religious freedom, it looks increasingly likely that this decision has just made Obama's defeat in 2012 more probable.

Film Review 2: "Top Gun: Maverick"
Starring: Tom Cruise, Miles Teller and Val Kilmer
Directed by: Joseph Kosinski
Rated: PG 13
In April of 1986 I was in the movie theatre business. I had begged the home office – and convinced them – to give me "Top Gun" as one of my summer pictures. I displayed the posters and ran the trailers, listening to the audience's excitement when the preview ended. I was set. Then, during the first week of May, our company Vice President visited me in my office. To get the full picture in your head, I'll preface his comments by letting you know that he sounded an awful bit like Fozzie Bear. "Michael," he said, "I've just come from seeing what will be the biggest film of the summer." "Top Gun," I asked. "No, "Cobra." You'll play it for months!" "So I'm playing "Cobra" AND "Top Gun?" – my theatre was a twin – "Top Gun"?? That won't play through June. Believe me, my friend, you want "Cobra."" So I played "Cobra," which fizzled out after 2 weeks. The other theatre in the area got "Top Gun." It played through August!
As his jet rockets through the sky, Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell (Cruise)begins a difficult maneuver and, as he often does in these situations, quietly whispers "talk to me Goose." It's something he's done for the past three-plus decades and it's always seemed to work. Will it work this time?
Packed with wall -to-wall action, "Top Gun: Maverick" finds, well, Maverick, back as an instructor at the Fighter Pilot Training School, where he is asked to get 16 of the best pilots ready for a mission. He balks at first at the assignment, stating his preference to be a part of the mission itself, but is told in no uncertain terms by his commander (Jon Hamm) that he's just there to train and evaluate. However, things get a little more difficult when he learns that one of the students, call sign Rooster (Teller), is the son of Maverick's late friend Goose, a young man who blames Maverick for many things, including, of course, the death of his father. Can you say tension?
It has been 36-years since "Top Gun" hit theatres, and I'll have to admit that I was a little wary when I heard they were making a sequel. Anticipation grew as COVID delayed the film's release – originally scheduled for May 2019 – for almost two years. Let me just say, it was well worth the wait. Combining several familiar themes from the first film, with an amazing amount of aerial action, "Top Gun: Maverick" delivers the goods. Cruise is his usual cocky self, and that self-assurance is multiplied several times by the assortment of hot shot pilots he is given to mentor. Teller, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the young Goose, plays a young man who should be confident of his skills but isn't, causing him to hesitate at times he shouldn't. Jennifer Connelly is Maverick's love interest this time around, playing – if my memory serves me – the daughter of a former Admiral – a daughter that Maverick may or may not have taken advantage of. Jon Hamm and Ed Harris are well cast as the authority figures that just don't seem to understand Maverick's ways and it's a genuine treat to see Val Kilmer back on the big screen. Director Kosinski keeps the film moving at a rapid pace, while the aerial action is downright dizzying.
The film is lovingly dedicated to the late Tony Scott, who directed "Top Gun." I'd like to think that he would give a thumbs up and a salute to "Top Gun: Maverick."

Film Review: "Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" – REVIEW 2
DR. STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS
Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olson
Directed by: Sam Raimi
Ratied: PG-13
Running Time: 2 hrs 6 mins
Second only to the Oscar-nominated "Black Panther" of 2018, "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" is the best Marvel film to be released to date. Having made over $230 million domestically in its first seven days of release (Box Office Mojo), the Sam Raimi-helmed story about everyone's favorite doctor of mystical arts is a visual spectacular with plenty of excitement, great acting, and a complicated story that demands your full attention. It is nothing short of marvelous and easily the finest since "Avengers: End Game."
(For those who have yet to see the newest "Doctor Strange" don't worry, you won't find any spoilers here.) We are instantly thrust to a weird place in between universes where a pony-tailed version of Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and a teenager named America Chavez (Xochitil Gomez) are chased by a demon as they try to reach a powerful spell book. The incredible situation goes from bad to worse before America, who has the ability to travel across the multiverse, ends up in "our" universe where she is saved by Strange and Sorcerer Supreme Wong (Benedict Wong).
After realizing there were witchcraft runes on the demon that chased America, Stephen finds Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olson) to request her help. He soon discovers, though, that what transpired during the events of "WandaVision" have left Wanda psychologically imbalanced. In fact, she reveals her full embracement of her dark alter ego – The Scarlet Witch. She demands Stephen turn America over to her so she can be with her children in an alternate universe. This leads to an epic magical showdown at Kamar-Taj from which Stephen and America flee across the multiverse to another Earth that is governed by a powerful group named the Illuminati.
Stephen does not receive a warm welcome from the Illuminati council despite his grave warnings about the impending arrival of the Scarlet Witch. Ultimately, he must rely upon his ex-romantic partner Dr. Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams), who on this version of Earth is an expert on the multi-verse, to help him and America defeat the increasingly unhinged Scarlet Witch.
Cumberbatch gets to explore many more facets of a character who when first introduced to us was an egotistical narcissist on the same level as Tony Stark. However, Stephen grows significantly in this newest story and becomes a hero that can be fully embraced and understood. (A stark contrast to Peter Parker who never seems to mature past be a mistake prone, bumbling stumbling man child.) Stephen Strange may still have elements of over-confidence, but with Cumberbatch's undeniable skill and some solid writing, he becomes fully developed hero in this second film devoted to the Master of Mystic Arts.
"Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" easily has some of the best eye candy of the entire Marvel collection with dazzling special effects and colorful imagery. It is also has some moments of brutal violence, hence the PG-13 rating, as it alternates between dark moments of despair and flashes of levity that we have come to expect in all of the Marvel flicks. The assembled cast is nothing less than fantastic with particularly stand-out supporting performances from Olson and McAdams.
In the end, "Doctor Strange and Multiverse of Madness" is the best entertainment you will find currently at any cinema.

Concert Review: Bad Religion "Decades Season 2 2010's
"Decades Season 2- 2010s"
The Roxy, Hollywood, California/NoCapshows.com
Our score 4.5 out of 5 stars
Bad Religion wrapped up Season 2 of their "Decades" streaming series on June 26th from the Roxy Theater in West Hollywood. Broadcast exclusively via NoCapshows.com the final episode of season 2 followed the same format as the previous three shows which featured sets containing deep cuts and rarely performed songs from each decade of the bands career. Songs from the bands three 2010's era releases ("The Dissent of Man", "True North", "Age of Unreason") would be the focus of this evenings performance.
Veteran punk purveyors Bad Religion brought a close Season 2 of their "Decades" streaming series on June 26th with an impressive and upbeat 14 song set of 2010's era BR material. The evenings performance featured the live debut of six different songs along with a handful of other songs some of which have not appeared live since 2010. Kicking of the night was the fast paced, guitar fueled "Past is Dead" from the album "Truth North". The song set the evenings pace and instantly while show casing the tight knit guitar tandem of Brian Baker and Mike Dimkich. The nights first live debut would follow as the band performed the title track off their most recent studio release "Age of Unreason". With a song this powerful I cannot believe it never made its way on to the set during the bands last outing pre-covid. Other debuts from the night's performance included "Hello Cruel World", "Big Black Dog", "In Their Heart Is Right", "Downfall" and "What Tomorrow Brings". Despite all of these songs being newer to the BR catalog the band really showed their music prowess as each number came off as very well-rehearsed almost as if these songs have been being played day in and day out for years. Closing out the night was the song "Cyanide" from the 2010's "The Dissent of Man". Despite the songs ominous title, the performance was very enjoyable as it offered an added level of instrumentation courtesy of Senses Fail's Gavin Caswell who sat in on pedal steel guitar for this song giving the closing moments of "Decades Season 2" an almost Eagles like sound and feel.
Bad Religion once again delivers with a unique and safe concert experience that fans can enjoy from the safety of their homes. The 60-minute runtime felt like just the right amount time to give viewers a quick break from their normal day and return them feeling good and recharged. No matter if you tuned in just for this show or have caught all the previous performances you really get your money's worth as the band delivered across every performance. If you missed any of the shows I believe they will be still available to stream through the end of June at Nocapshows.com If you are waiting to see the band live an in-person have no fear as on 6/24 the band announced their rescheduled 40th Anniversary co-headlining tour with Alkaline Trio and special guests War on Women will kick off on October 15th in Riverside California. Very Cool! For more information on the tour head over to badreligion.com

Bad Religion kicked off Season 2 of their "Decades" series on June 5th from the Roxy Theater in West Hollywood. Broadcast exclusively via NoCapshows.com its the first of four episodes which will feature deep cuts and rarely performed songs. Like season 1 each episode of season 2 will focus on a specific era of the bands 40+ year career. Up first was the 1980's which pulled songs from four different releases ("How Could Hell Be Any Worse?", "Into the Unknown", "Suffer" and "No Control") some of which have not been performed live in over 30 years.
Capitalizing on the success of the first four "Decades" live streams veteran punk purveyors Bad Religion are back with a brand-new set of shows which take fans deeper down the BR rabbit hole. Though the format and look of "Decades Season 2" is very similar to that of season 1 the setlists could not be any more different. Over the course of 60 minutes Vocalist Greg Graffin and company took viewers deep into the group's massive song archives to revisit some of the bands lesser performed tracks from the groups first four studio releases. Prior to the show starting I was skeptical as to how the set was going to go as it was being touted as having completely different songs with no repeats from the subsequent performances. How were we going to watch a Bad Religion show and not hear songs like "Infected", "Sorrow" and "21st Century Digital Boy"? Could the rarities fill in for these long-time staples which have had fans coming out on droves since their release? Well, right off the bat any fears I had about the set not living up to the standard Bad Religion always puts forth were quickly put to bed as the band ripped through tracks like "Voice of God is Government", "Doing Time" and, "Damned to Be Free" all of which have been absent from live performances since 2008. The band even dipped in to "Against the Grain" (yes, it was technically released in 1990) to perform the Brett Gurewitz penned track "Walk Away" for its first time ever! Pretty cool from a fan's perspective for sure. Easily my favorite performances of the night were two songs pulled from the widely panned 1983 release "Into the Unknown". The somber "…You Give Up" set the stage nicely for the keyboard fueled "It's Only Over When.." which came complete with a key slide that would bring Rick Wakeman to his knees and one that had me cracking up for the next few seconds. This combined with some comedic interview Segway's really made for a good watch.
Clocking in at around 60 minutes Bad Religion's "Decades" gives you what you want as a fan and then lets you get back to your day. With lives shows slowly starting to happen across the country and around the world there is undoubtably still some skepticism around if things will be safe. The latest virtual offering from Bad Religion alleviates those worries and offers a fun, enjoyable concert performance which you can watch any time and, from wherever you are comfortable. With three more shows coming in season 2 and the option to be able to go back and re-watch season 1 Greg, Mike, Brian, Jamie and Jay have you covered until you are ready to get back out there and see them face to face.

Red Dead Redemption 2: Beginner's Guide
Red Dead Redemption 2 is an online game that creates a Wild West aura. The players here lead a life full of crime to climb their way up and in the process kill anyone that comes in their way. The online game gives the players a plethora of options to customize their appearance. They can also interact with people from the real world. The players can team up with their friends and go on a mission to collect weapons or money. The game is set in the fictional Southern United States and Midwestern. Read through these Red Dead Redemption 2 hacks to play the online game.
The cores
There are three core things to always keep in mind – your stamina, health, and the dead eye. The HUD represented by a circle with a white outline shows the amount of each core that you have left. See a drop in the health meter when you get shot. Your stamina falls when you hoof up on a mountain. See your dead eye depleting when you slow down for a long period. When the core is low the meter shows a red. So pay attention because your core affects the stat regeneration and an empty core slows down regeneration.
Using the dead eye
The dead eye is the mechanic to slow down the time and let you mark your enemies and kill them in succession. Use this core strategically. You may wish to tag various targets for shorts or aim and shoot your rivals manually. The dead eye also works when you are on horseback. Many missions have chasing scenes and riding and aiming both at the same time can be a task. This is where the dead eye can come to aid.
Caring and bonding with your horse
Your horse stands true to you through the game. Early on in the game, you go on a mission where you buy your new horse. Give it a cute name. In Red Dead Redemption 2, it matters how you treat your animal friend. Your horse also has a healthy and stamina core. If you let your horse take a lot of shots or damage then it can die. Revivers work here, which though pricey comes to your rescue.
Making money and XP
Money is important and to earn money all that you need to do is to use the D-pad to select the story mission on call. It opens up the menu Free roam. You get paired with a random player. The rewards are small in the beginning but grow when you level up.
The players need to complete the mission to work their way up. Doing the same mission over and over again does not earn anything so always try out something new to earn money. Your performance in the mission is vital. The better you perform the more you earn. The missions are random. Story mission help to earn the XP, unlock future mission and new weapons and also earn high rewards. The mission can also be played along with friends so it pays to get a friend group and work on the mission together.
Be prepared with your firefights
You cannot afford to take a lot of damage when you play this game. Stay behind the cover and be planned about where you should head next. Stay still when you pull the shots especially when you are shooting at a long range. Do not fire aimlessly as it will just make you miss and waste your ammunition. Shoot only with intent.
It takes time to loot but do not avoid it
You can kill a lawman, a bandit, or an innocent and can loot from them. People may not have a lot of cash but you definitely may be able to find some tonics or other things to boost stamina and health. Looting lets you save trips to the general store. Looting takes time and this is also when you are highly vulnerable. So stay cautious when you loot but do not forget to loot.
Learn the settings and controls
If you can personalize the settings, then half the task is done. You can get into the settings to turn off the aim assist and alter its sensitivity. Red Dead Redemption 2 also does not want you to sprint. You can also choose to play in the first person when you are on foot and in the third person when you are riding. This is possible too. The setting will automatically switch you into the third person mode when you jump on the horse. Work on the settings and change them to your liking before you are prepared to take over the mission.
With inspiring storylines and the state of the art graphics, Red Dead Redemption 2 does not fail to engross the players for long. You may be tempted to cut through the mission as soon as possible. However, take time, go slow and let everything sink in before you get aggressive. There is enough time and room for every player to grow and play the game.

Film Review: "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" (2)
Starring: Viola Davis, Chadwick Boseman
Directed by: George C. Wolfe
Rating: Rated R
With the 93rd annual Academy Awards just days away, it is a good time to take a look at "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," a film unforgivably snubbed in the Best Picture category. Garnering a total of five nominations, "Ma Rainey's" is a fantastic drama with a brilliant cast punctuated by memorable performances from Viola Davis and the late Chadwick Boseman.
Based upon the 1982 stage play by the late American playwright August Wilson (1945-2005) and wonderfully directed by George C. Wolfe (2005's "Lackawanna Blues"), "Ma Rainey's" is set on a hot and steamy July day in 1927 Chicago. Popular Georgia-born blues singer Gertrude "Ma" Rainey (Davis) is scheduled to record a song – "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" – for a pair of white producers anxious to make a profit off her music.
Ahead of her much-anticipated arrival, Ma's band arrives to prepare for the day's recording session. Her musical quartet is made up of three seasoned veterans (Colman Domingo, Glynn Turman and Michael Potts) and an ambitious trumpet player named Levee Green (Boseman). Levee has a head full of dreams of becoming a star on his own, but his fellow players scoff at his ideas, at least until he tells them in a powerful scene about a disturbing racist experience he had while growing up.
When Ma (Davis) arrives late there is heavy tension in the air, especially when it comes to her interaction with one of the white producers, Mel (Jonny Coyne, "The Blacklist"). Neither likes the other as Ma does not take any guff from anyone and Mel does not like her because she is black. In the middle is the other producer, Irvin (Jeremy Shamos, "Better Call Saul") who will do anything to appease her. After many hiccups, the recording session finally begins but it is afterwards when the story's haunting climax occurs.
The real Ma Rainey lived from 1886-1939 and is often regarded as the "Mother of the Blues." The Columbus, Georgia native was a force of nature in life and Davis drives this home with a tour de force performance that dominates the silver screen. It's almost no wonder that Davis thrives so well on the script since she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2016's "Fences," another of Wilson's works.
Equally spellbinding to watch is Boseman whose last performance before his untimely passing is one never to be forgotten. His progression from a bravado-filled, star-seeking musician to a broken man seething with rage, pain, and frustration is done with amazing skill. It is arguably the best acting of his brief career and makes his death that much more tragic.
Overall, "Ma Rainey's" is an important, transformative work of cinema. How it was ignored in the Best Picture category is a travesty of the highest order.

ACE FREHLEY ANNOUNCES ORIGINS VOL. 2 DETAILS, EXTENDS ALBUM DEAL WITH ENTERTAINMENT ONE
"SPACE TRUCKIN'" OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO AND TRACK OUT NOW
PRE ORDERS AVAILABLE TODAY
Founding KISS guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame member Ace Frehley announces the release of Origins Vol. 2, his highly-anticipated second collection of eleven rock 'n' roll covers, due out on September 18, 2020. Today, he also releases the first single, a flawless cover of Deep Purple's 1972 hit, "Space Truckin'" available now on all streaming platforms, and as an official music video.
Recorded at The Creation Lab in Turlock, CA, Frehley recorded guitar, bass, and vocals on "Space Truckin'" with long-time studio drummer Matt Star and keyboard player Rob Sabino (Peter Frampton, Simon & Garfunkel).
Ace offers,"'Space Truckin' was recorded years ago, and then I just re-recorded some parts and changed it a little. We never ended up putting it on a record, so it was just sitting around. It turned out very well. Rob Sabino is a very accomplished studio musician, and we actually grew up in the Bronx together, so we go way back."
The official video for "Space Truckin'" was directed by eOne's Ken Gullic (VP, Sales & Acquisitions, Music) and animated by Chris Fequiere, the same team behind the "Mission to Mars" music video from Frehley's Spaceman album in 2018.
Frehley has also re-signed with eOne for more new releases, which extends his original deal signed in 2013. During his tenure, he has released three albums worth of new material, Origins Vol. 2 is the fourth. A new studio album is planned for 2021 with two additional releases to follow.
eOne's Scott Givens, SVP, Rock & Metal, Music says, "I am thrilled to extend our partnership with Ace Frehley. He is a core artist for eOne and I look forward to more continued success with him."
eOne's Ken Gullic, VP, Sales & Acquisitions, Music, offers, "We were warned, before our first meeting with Ace in 2014, that he'd never deliver an album or get on the plane for that very meeting. He showed up with an early version of Steve Miller's "The Joker" in hand and then cranked out eleven brand new songs at lightning speed for his first top 10 solo album ever, 'Space Invader,' just in time for his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction as a KISS member in 2014. With nine albums into his vibrant solo career, one that clearly stands on its own, it's time for Ace to be considered as a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inducted solo performer too."
Frehley continues his reflections on a lifetime in music with this release of Origins Vol. 2. No stranger to cover versions throughout his musical history — having recorded, rebranded and repossessed such notable nuggets as "New York Groove," "Do Ya" and "I Wanna Go Back" throughout his eight previous studio efforts — this new collection presents a thoughtful and exciting selection of songs that inspired and helped shape the legendary guitarist. That spirit of fun is carried through with exquisite execution, and guitar aficionados will enjoy Frehley's fresh interpretations of these classic songs.
Origins Vol 2. features some extraordinary guests, including Robin Zander of Cheap Trick on Humble Pie's "30 Days In The Hole," and former KISS comrade Bruce Kulick on Jimi Hendrix's "Manic Depression." Origins Vol.1 alumnus John5 also returns, playing on Cream's "Politician," and The Beatles' "I'm Down." Finally, the exquisite Lita Ford returns on vocals, this time on The Rolling Stones' 1968 hit "Jumpin' Jack Flash." Full track listing below.
1. Good Times Bad Times (Led Zeppelin)
2. Never In My Life (Mountain)
3. Space Truckin' (Deep Purple)
4. I'm Down (The Beatles)
5. Jumpin' Jack Flash (The Rolling Stones)
6. Politician (Cream)

9. Manic Depression (The Jimi Hendrix Experience)
10. Kicks (Paul Revere & the Raiders)
11. We Gotta Get Out Of This Place (The Animals)

Origins Vol. 2 will be the followup to 2016's Origins Vol. 1, which hit #23 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, and was his second highest-charting solo album and his 4th Top 40 album.
Pre-orders are available today at www.acefrehleyorigins.com — which includes an exclusive 180g Opaque Gold Double LP variant (limited to 1000 copies + download card).

LILY CORNELL SILVER RELEASES EPISODE 2 OF HER IGTV SERIES "MIND WIDE OPEN"
Dr. Marc Brackett Author of Permission to Feel and Founder/Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence
Lily and Marc Discuss the Importance of Labeling and Understanding Emotions among other subjects
Lily Cornell Silver today airs episode 2 of her IGTV series Mind Wide Open beginning at 9am PT/12noon ET.

Continuing on her quest to helpde-stigmatize conversations around mental health and provide resources and access, Lily and Marc discuss trauma, anxiety, sexual abuse, and the power of being able to understand and label our emotions.
Lily says, "Marc brings so much compassion and empathy to the conversation along with his science based research on our emotional lives. His concept of being an emotion scientist rather than an emotion judge so resonated with me and I deeply appreciate his work toward implementing social emotional learning in schools. His bravery in talking about his own childhood sexual abuse and how he got help in moving forward was also incredibly inspiring."
Marc says, "Lily is a 20 year old with an old soul, wise beyond her years and able to connect in a way that will keep these important conversations going. It was incredible to talk to a young person who has experienced trauma, but yet has an understanding of her own situation and is using it to help others. What inspired me the most though was how open Lily is about her own emotions and how much she related to the idea of giving yourself and others permission to feel."
Coming episodes will bring guests such as TikTok/Instagram influencer Sir Carter and Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver's Duff McKagan among many others.
More guests will be announced in the coming weeks.

Rarely a day goes by when you don't download something. Pictures, music, videos, podcasts, software, hamburgers, and a whole host of other things, right? In most cases, your browser's download feature will work just fine (although it might get stuck on the hamburger). However, if you're downloading large or a lot of files and or have a bad internet connection, you'll want to use a dedicated download manager.
Different browsers have different ways of handling downloads. But what they all seem to be really bad at is continuing where a download left off. They take for granted perfect, speedy, internet connections. So when you hit the download button on that 5 GB file, whoopdie do, it's been downloaded to your computer in 13 seconds. And if the download fails, you'll just try again and patiently wait another 13 seconds. No big deal, right? Wrong. In fact, I probably didn't fool anybody there. So why oh why, browsers of the internet, do I have to restart the entire download when, after 6 long hours, the file, 94% downloaded, fails to download because the internet hiccuped for four seconds?! If the download fails for any reason, it just says "canceled" or something like that deep in the browser's downloads information.
Introducing WackGet: WackGet is a freeware download utility which can help alleviate some of these issues. There's nothing better than free, right? Well, yes and no. Free is good in that you don't have to pay for it. However, it's also free for malicious people. There's no shortage of malicious installers out there for every free software in the book. Malicious entities love downloading free software, bundling it with all sorts of intrusive garbage, and re-marketing it to you. You can effectively lower the risk of these sorts of things getting onto your system by installing unchecky and remaining alert as you install things. It would be nice if the legitimate downloads at least took precedence in search results. And sometimes, they even do. Sometimes.
Anything that is put in this folder is run when you log in. You can save wackget here, or save it somewhere else and create a shortcut to it in the startup folder.
You'll probably want to do a bit of configuration.

Note to Hollywood: Johnny Depp is Not a Movie Star
reelchanger / January 26, 2015
So Mortdecai had a predictably god-awful opening weekend. We could have seen that coming, as the marketing campaign seemed to be predicated entirely on people wanting to see a Johnny Depp movie. Is there any evidence that people do in fact want that? Or to put it another way: In the wake of Johnny Depp's two other recent failed attempts at carrying a film, (2013's The Lone Ranger and 2014's Transcendence), is it time to ask if Depp is done as a movie star?
The Hollywood Reporter basically asked the same question last week: "Will it be three strikes and you're out of the A-list for Johnny Depp?" It seems, however, unlikely that the studios will give up on him. It takes a lot for Hollywood to let go of its male stars (actresses get far less wiggle room), especially when their crappy franchise films are cleaning up overseas. Depp has already signed on to make a sequel to his colossal hit Alice in Wonderland and yet another Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and both will turn massive global profits.
But the failure of Mortdecai and his other recent flops belies an oft-misunderstood reality about Depp's career. He is not a movie star, and he never has been. The major studios may have found him useful in a few franchises, and the huge grosses convinced studio execs that he could carry a film that came with no pre-awareness. They were wrong. He has never done it, and he never will.
In his early years – when he was at his best – Depp channeled his oddball charisma into lonely, compelling outsiders like Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, and Sam from Benny and Joon, but his early attempts to carry a mainstream movie on his shoulders were abject failures. In the late 1990s, he made Nick of Time and The Astronaut's Wife, B-movie thrillers that failed to find an audience or connect with critics. Brian Lowry of Variety noted that the appearance of "Depp in a rare conventional leading-man role may be a minor draw, but box office prospects appear limited." He was right; the film was a flop, and The Astronaut's Wife fared even worse, grossing only $10 million against its $75 million budget.
A frosted Depp in "The Astronaut's Wife"
After those failures, Depp understandably went back to his schtick, playing obsessed weirdos like Sleepy Hollow's Ichabod Crane and the opium-smoking Victorian detective in the Hughes Brothers' From Hell. It is equally understandable why he couldn't say no to the role of Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. The Disney money was surely a factor (how else do you get your own island?), but he also had a creative imperative: His Jack Sparrow was a hilarious, unique take on an archetype that has been largely absent from film for decades.
Once he got a taste of movie stardom, Depp immersed himself in franchises, or at least potential ones. There were sequels to Pirates, and surely studio executives were hoping for potential sequels to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Dark Shadows; the former could still earn one. He also has made several attempts to break free from the shackles of kiddie franchises over the last few years, and all have failed. There was Public Enemies, which has had a bit of a critical re-evaluation these last few years but still bombed with audiences; The Tourist, a hugely ill-conceived attempt at playing an "everyman"; and then the three successive flops of the last three years. Looking at the last few years, it seems that Depp is trying to be both a movie star and an actor at the same time, and neither the industry nor the audience knows how to handle that.
Meanwhile, Pirates and Alice keep on going, although it's unclear how much credit Depp really deserves for their continued successes. He certainly played a major role in building those franchises with his witty, oddball performances, but they could probably now exist without his presence. Just like you can always plug another actor into the Batsuit, the Pirates and Alice movies are now strong enough to do well without any star power. Where does this leave Depp? Financially successful and creatively bankrupt, but there is still a larger lesson to be learned. Perhaps we can see in Depp's long, winding career the devolution of creativity in the movie industry itself. The Hollywood machine took an eccentric and unique screen presence – who had a fatal flaw, as it turns out: his ridiculously good looks – and turned him into another spare part.

Let's Keep It Up: 5 Things the Health Care Industry is Getting Right
Published on February 07, 2019 by Krista Pelensky
We spend lot of time talking about fraud, waste, and abuse – three of our industry's most serious ills. Acknowledging these systemic problems creates a platform for discussion and legislative reform which, in turn, results in better care for patients. But in our haste to highlight where the system is falling short, we sometimes fail to mention how our industry is moving in the right direction. To know where you're going, you must remember where you've been.
Let's examine some of our industry's latest and greatest triumphs.
1. Tackling the opioid epidemic.
In 2017, the national opioid crisis was declared a public health emergency. By then, it was no longer a warning – it was a statement of fact. The misuse of opioids and other prescription drugs is undeniably one of the greatest health care epidemics of our time. In the many months since this declaration, the crisis has continued to play out in new and increasingly tragic ways. But there is much to be said for giving the enemy a name. We now have proof that drug companies fueled the epidemic with predatory marketing practices, and many states, including Tennessee and Mississippi, have passed laws meant to fight the epidemic. The federal government's comprehensive, bipartisan bill, also known as the SUPPORT Act, addressed the crisis by increasing the public's access to long-term treatment programs and making it harder to ship deadly synthetic drugs, such as fentanyl, into the United States. But of course, there is more work yet to be done.
2. Embracing tech companies.
Companies like Google, Apple, and Amazon are known for entering and disrupting stagnant industries, but their new interest in healthcare innovation could be a boon for everyone. In 2018, Google developed a machine to analyze and collect medical data for big hospitals. Amazon partnered with Berkshire Hathaway and J.P. Morgan to lead employee health initiatives, in addition to starting their own employee health clinic in Seattle. Amazon also made its first foray into pharmacy by acquiring PillPack, a company that packages, organizes, and delivers prescriptions to patients. And recently, Amazon filed a patent for its voice assistant, Alexa, aimed at detecting whether a user has a cough or cold.
3. Making patients the priority.
Patient-first approaches to care delivery are gradually becoming the norm. Researchers and providers have found that by focusing on patient satisfaction, and responding to areas of dissatisfaction, they can not only increase compliance with future treatments and payments, but also improve patient outcomes. Similarly, the topic of patient engagement is garnering more and more attention, especially with the early success of telehealth services and electronic visit verification (EVV) systems. The proliferation of online appointment scheduling systems and post-care satisfaction surveys are signs of progress, too.
4. Cracking down on fraud.
In June of 2018, the Office of the Inspector General coordinated "largest health care fraud takedown in history" with the help of federal and state law enforcement partners. More than 600 defendants in 58 federal districts were held accountable for schemes that resulted in approximately $2 billion in losses to Medicare and Medicaid. Since the last takedown, OIG has also issued exclusion notices to 587 doctors, nurses, and other providers regarding opioid diversion and abuse, according to a news statement. The takedown sent a strong message to the accused and to potential copycats on behalf of taxpayers and the patients affected by these crimes. And thankfully, for every $1 spent on health care-related fraud and abuse investigations over the last 3 years, more than $4 has been recovered.

16+ What Is The Purpose Of A Van De Graaff Generator Ideas
What is the purpose of a van de graaff generator. As it is no longer in use so it seems just a question that we have to vis-a-vis in exam. In the year 1929 Robert Van de Graaff designed a machine which produces a large amount of electrostatic potential difference up to several million volts 10 7 V. One last note before going on to building your own Van de Graaff generator. It is essential the Van de Graaff generators for school science are obtained through reputable school science equipment suppliers. The sphere has a capacitance and will store energy electrostatically as a result. Van de Graaff generator with ground sphere. The ground sphere is positioned a few inches away from the Van de Graaff dome and grounded to the base of the Van. When you get within a few centimetres a spark should leap across with a crack. Dome of the Van de Graaff generator. How it works The rubber belt inside the Van de Graaff generator runs between two rollers made of different mate-rials causing electrons to transfer from one roller. It can do this because the collected charges repel each other and they all collect on the outside of the ball. Invented by the American physicist Robert J.
Van de Graaff Generator. A Van de Graaff generator uses static electricity and a moving belt to charge a large metal sphere to a very high voltage. A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator which uses a moving belt to accumulate very high electrostatically stable voltages on a hollow metal globe on the top of the stand. A Van de Graaff generator works by collecting charges on a rubber belt at the bottom and bleeding them off into the ball at the top. What is the purpose of a van de graaff generator Do this a few times from dif – ferent angles to show the audience. Van de Graaff generators also have serious applications. A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator which uses a moving belt to accumulate electric charge on a hollow metal globe on the top of an insulated column creating very high electric potentials. Van de Graaff in the 1930s this type of particle accelerator has been widely used to study subatomic particles. Because it Read More. Van de Graaff experiments are all based on the fact that like charges repel. The Van de Graaff generator shown in Figure 13 is a mechanical device that produces an electromotive force. Van de Graaff generator demonstrations can provide useful insights into electrical phenomena which are at the same time memorable. The Van de Graaff generator was designed by Robert Jemison Van de Graaff in 1929 AD.
Van De Graaff Generator Wikipedia
What is the purpose of a van de graaff generator Van De Graaff Generator With Ground Sphere Purpose.
What is the purpose of a van de graaff generator. Normally a neutral material is used for the upper roller so the belt becomes neutral after the sphere sucks its excess charge away. To demonstrate operation of a Van de Graaff generator and to illustrate electrostatic concepts. The energy stored at the terminal of a Van de Graaff generator can be calculated as E 05CV 2 where C is the distributed capacitance of the terminal and V its voltage relative to ground.
In Willard Harrison Bennett. Image will be Uploaded Soon While standing in an insulated platform if we touch the spherical part of this generator the charge of the sphere would pass along our body and would transmit to our hairs. The question how does a Van de Graaff generator work then follows and is addressed further.
The Van de Graaf generator is particularly popular for its ability to produce high voltage at very low current levels and it is unlike the conventional generator in so many ways. The capacitance of a sphere is given by C 4 pe 0 r where e 0 885×10 -12 and r is the radius of the sphere meters resulting in C 1112r pF. This Van de Graff generator works on the principle of electrostatic induction and action at points.
These electrons repel each other and try to get as far away from each other as possible spreading out on the surface of the sphere. Most of the answers seems derived from Wikipedia. They are sometimes employed to generate the huge voltages required for particle accelerators that are used to investigate the fundamental forces of nature.
A Van de Graaff generator pulls electrons from the Earth moves them along a belt and stores them on the large sphere. One Van de Graaff generator run by the Australian National University for this purpose produces a potential difference of 15 million. Van de Graaf in the year 1929.
Inside the Van de Graaff generator a motor turns a silicon roller which. The Van de Graaf generator is a direct current generator invented by Robert J. For the Van de Graaff generator the belt is the charged object delivering a continuous positive charge to the sphere.

Spaces to watch
You run one of the most famous alternative spaces in the world. How did you get there?
Wow! That's quite a claim! Blood, sweat and tears? If we have achieved any notoriety, I think it's probably due to a serendipitous combination of being in the right place at the right time (despite the shrinking world, Mexico City's exotic appeal has only, it seems, increased in the global imaginary), having the great good luck to work with amazing artists, struggling to make sure every show is of the highest possible quality, and doing our damnedest to ensure a maximum of visibility, both locally and internationally for each exhibition.
_______INSERT_______
Why Mexico City?
This question is much trickier than it seems – something I have come to understand only through co-running a space in Mexico City for the past two years. How to avoid sounding like a naïve, American "post-tourist" imperialist when answering it? One who is wholly implicated in such deleterious effects as jacking up rents through airbnb and other seemingly innocuous international enterprises meant to make life easier for a certain class of international professionals? This being the case, I feel it is my moral duty to state that the food here is inedible, the weather awful, rents astronomical, city devoid of charm, and people ferociously unkind. Quality of life, generally speaking, very, very poor (stay in New York, London, Berlin, etc). All of which is a lie. The good news is that, as of yet, there are no budget flights to Mexico City– a crucial factor that fundamentally prevents Mexico City from transmogrifying into the much-touted next Berlin.
Your space is nine square meters. And you held a Biennal there. Isn't that megalomaniacal?
We recently held The Lulennial: A Slight Gestuary. It was the first edition of our biennial, co-curated by myself and a local Mexican curator Fabiola Iza with a performance program curated by the Berlin-based curator Sophie Goltz. The basic idea of the show was: small gestures, big impact. Featuring about 30 artists in the main program, it was broken up into three parts, and included local luminaries such as Gabriel Orozco and Francis Alÿs, along side figures like Jiri Kovanda, and younger local and international artists ranging from Darren Bader to say Chantal Peñalosa, a young Mexican from Northern Mexico. The exhibition was accompanied by a very attractive publication by Mousse publishing. Of course, the whole thing, like Lulu itself, was totally over-the-top, ridiculous even, while being very serious and committed. I think one of the great benefits of working with such spatial limitations (again, nine square meters) is that, no matter how hard we try, we can never take ourselves too seriously, and that is despite the fact that we are showing institutional caliber artists. Lulu, like her name, is somehow improbable and always a little ridiculous.
When the Swiss space New Jerseyy opened a few years ago it breathed new life into the idea of the alternative space. Was that an inspiration? Is there an inspiration?
There are many inspirations for us, but most specifically I would say Midway Contemporary in Minneapolis and Shanaynay and Castillo/Corrales in Paris. Granted those are all very different monsters, but they have contributed to our guiding spirit each in their own way. If anything unites them for us, it is the consistent quality of what they present, in spite of their relative modesty of size and means.
After a couple of years with a space like yours, you basically have three options to continue: closing down and become a myth, become a gallery, become any other kind of institute. Lulu is two years old. What is your plan?
It's funny that you say that. One of the pieces we featured in the archive of the Lulennial was one of Stephan Kaltenbach's Artforum ads from the late '60s: Become a Legend. That said, yes, we are indeed experiencing the proverbial two-year itch, asking ourselves, what's next? We have no intention of becoming a gallery and even less of one of shutting down. Our intention at this point is to continue and modestly expand. We would like to add a space to the current space and maintain them both while building up our publishing activity. Of course in doing so, we run the risk of becoming just another institution. But at the same time, I think there are a number of projects that have gone on to assume a more institutional stature while continuing to make an inimitable contribution to the local and international scene. I'm thinking, again, of Midway Contemporary and, say, Peephole in Milan. The question you have to ask yourself is do you fill a gap? Is there some genuine necessity to what you do? And I think Lulu fills a very specific gap in what is an increasingly dynamic and active scene, and I don't see any reason why we will not to continue to strive to fill that gap for the foreseeable future.

Q: How to create NoSqlEntityManagerFactory properly? I want to user NoSqlEntityManagerFactory create(Map properties) method in Bootstrap class to create a NoSqlEntityManagerFactory. However, I am not sure if I am using the right properties:
#nosql.nosqltype=inmemory
nosql.nosqltype=cassandra
nosql.autoCreateKey=create
nosql.cassandra.clusterName=Test cluster
nosql.cassandra.keyspace=dmp_input
nosql.cassandra.seeds=127.0.0.1:9160

Should I pass something to nosql.cassandra.builder? This seems to be created by the method, after an astyanax config builder is created... Also, if I pass nosql.autoCreateKey=create, will it create my mapped entities on Cassandra? If I don't want this behavior, should I user nosql.autoCreateKey=none?

A: Yup, those are the correct properties to use.  You only need to pass something to nosql.cassandra.builder IF you want to pass in your own preconfigured astyanax.  Astyanax is HIGHLY configurable so rather than try to program for all options, PlayOrm allows to pass in a few properties and we create it OR you can pass in your own using the other create methods.


There are thousands of these kinds of messages stacked up, the BBC monitoring service discovered, and it's safe to assume this was not the reaction that the Russian Embassy in Beijing had in mind when it debuted on Weibo, the Chinese Twitter, earlier this month with the message: "Hello everyone! This is the Russian Embassy in China!… All are welcome to follow us!" People did not miss the opportunity: "I don't like Russia. First of all, it robbed us of our territories. (Just google 'border skirmishes') Secondly, it massacred my compatriots. Thirdly, its disastrous influence continues to this day!" the journalist Chen Baocheng wrote on Weibo.
What are we to make of this? If the Chinese online public were on the couch, its shrink might suggest it is projecting. This surge of anti-Russian sentiment is a Trojan horse for liberals, according to those most on guard against them, their nationalist opponents. "Those who have been verbally abusing [Russia] are none other than China's opposition camp," as a member of the M4.cn nationalist website put it, using the sniffy term for Chinese liberals.

Style guide for content pages
The majority of pages on this site are content pages - pages that provide information about a topic. All of the advice on writing style given on the Writing for the web page applies, as well as the following points:
A good content page should from 250 to 500 words long. Only go longer if it is really necessary to put a large amount of information up such as on a legal information page
If the content page is less than 250 words long, try to merge several short pages together to make one longer one - using a question and answer format is a good way to do this.
Choose an image that's relevant to the content, and insert it at the top left of the article. If you don't have a relevant image include text only - for example it's better to leave the "our website" page without an image than to include a lion or other irrelevant image that will confuse users.
Team leaders have been extremely helpful and approachable and I could really see their commitment with the volunteers and their projects. I am very thankful to that. All in all I had an amazing time.
