Chrysalis is one of those albums that manages to be complex, tricky, and progressive as hell, yet still melodic and instantly accessible. Similarly to fellow American prog rockers like Echolyn and Spock's Beard, Man on Fire offers a quirky and modern progressive concoction that still sounds fresh and inspired. Chrysalis doesn't try to hide its eclectic list of influences, but instead successfully blends them all together into a sound that is unique and instantly recognizable. Man on Fire's ability to blend progressive rock, jazz, pop, metal, and even funky R&B with such finesse is admirable, and their impressive skills as musicians and composers make this effort all the more noteworthy. Chrysalis is a professional, well- composed, and original prog rock album - anyone who's wondering what that sounds like here in 2011 is bound to love this fourth observation from Man on Fire!
Even though Chrysalis is an album that sounds like no other, Man on Fire has a distinct American prog rock touch that brings acts like Spock's Beard, Kansas, and especially Echolyn to mind. Man on Fire is clearly more rooted in jazz than any of the aforementioned acts, though, and Eric Sands's fretless bass, Cameron Harder Handel's expressive trumpet, and Quentin Ravenel's jazzy drumming keep the band from ever sounding derivative or conventional. The compositions have distinct melodic pop hooks, but the dense instrumentation and quirky instrumental portions always keep things interesting - songs like "Gravity" and the four-song title track suite are all representative of the great music contained on this disc. The sleek musicianship, parred by the equally stunning production, both allow Chrysalis to sound like the work of progressive rock veterans.
Chrysalis is one of those rare albums that manages to be both unique and enjoyable, and I'll applaud Man on Fire all day long for crafting an album this well-composed and professional. People who enjoy acts like Echolyn, but with an additional dose of eclecticism, will find some of the year's best music with this CD. Jam-packed with memorable hooks, complex instrumentals, and powerful vocals, Man on Fire have succeeded tremendously with this effort! 4 stars and a very warm recommendation are both well-deserved. If you haven't checked out these American prog rockers yet, I think Chrysalis is a fine introduction.
US act MAN ON FIRE made their debut back in 1998, which was followed up by the critically acclaimed sophomore disc "The Undefined Design" in 2003 and slightly more contested "Habitat" in 2007, the latter disc coming with a sound and approach featuring closer ties to mainstream-oriented pop and rock. "Chrysalis" is their fourth album and was released on their own label 10t Records in the fall of 2011.
With "Chrysalis" the band has taken their trademark sound further, and into a field I suspect to some extent will divide their fans to an even greater extent than their previous effort "Habitat". Mainstream-oriented art rock with pop and industrial over- and undertones would appear to be a fitting general description of the overall style, but with more details and sophisticated mannerisms than you'll encounter on any directly mainstream-oriented production. Well worth checking out, and for most that should be done extensively prior to a purchase, I suspect. Potential core audience: progressive rock fans who also have artists like Depeche Mode and Gary Numan as treasured items in their music collection.
Man On Fire is a band I have been hearing quite a bit about this year, thanks in no small part due to the release and subsequent acclaim of this, their latest album. 'Chrysalis' is certainly an album that gives listeners a reason to be excited; it is a well-played, inventive album that delivers quite a few thrills over its course. Despite nailing several aspects of their sound down smoothly, Man On Fire's ambition is a tad overbearing, and for every thing on 'Chrysalis' that strikes gold, there is something that could have been done better.
Man On Fire are first and foremost; a modern prog rock act. There is the tender homage to the old greats here, but the sound is not retro. In fact, it may be difficult to describe the sound of 'Chrysalis' appropriately with any one word, or ten. Actually, a fitting term would be 'diverse'; Man On Fire seem deadset on exploiting every style and avenue they can lay their instruments on. This equates to a shapeless monster that incorporates pop, metal, electronica, jazz, and even soul, funk, and R&B. Sure enough, Man On Fire both manages to load a lot into their music, and this sense of variety is what I think defines what Man On Fire have done with 'Chrysalis'. All the same, there are aspects of the sound that follow through most of the music here. The vocals here are paired between somewhat gruff male vocals, and a female vocalist that would not have sounded out of place in a gospel choir. The vocals of Man On Fire are generally quite strong and well arranged, and they do help glue the album together a little better.
Instrumentally, Man On Fire manages to hit each of the genres they dabble in quite well. They are not writing the book on any of these sounds, but the way they all come together equates to an album that constantly engages and surprises. The electronic material and female soul vocals of Elise Testone are arguably the best aspects of Man On Fire's sound. Overall however, this band's best selling point is their ability to throw so many sounds onto one album. Sadly, this is done in such a way that feels more like a comparison of many different strong sounds, rather than a smooth synthesis, as I would have preferred. An exciting release nonetheless, 'Chrysalis' is an inventive face of modern prog rock.

We find many prayers of this type in the Bible. This is prayer centered wholly upon God and His eternal characteristics–His majesty, glory, and power; His beauty and lavish love; His mercy and grace. Personal devotional prayer should begin with this type of prayer.
This is the next step in personal prayer, asking for forgiveness of sin. Psalm 51 is our best known prayer of penitence in the Bible.
Petition means to ask for something. Because we are wholly dependent upon God for life He loves to have us ask for things. Perhaps this is the most used and misused prayer of all time. We all want material prosperity and popularity-but whenever we ask for material things we should remember to add, "Your will be done." Although God cares about anything that concerns us and He wants us to ask Him for what we need, yet it pleases Him most when we ask for the Holy Spirit and the characteristics of Jesus.
This is a prayer of appreciation for the gifts God has given us. Learning to be thankful is one of the best ways to combat depression and self-pity. Thanksgiving should be a part of every prayer.
When we intercede for others we come closest to God's heart. Jesus, in heaven, is our High Priest and His ministry is to intercede with the Father for mankind. When we join Him in praying for others we are most like Him.


Many people suffer from the effects of snoring. While snoring can cause the person with the problem to lose sleep and awake with the feeling that he or she needs more sleep, it can also cause problems for those who live in the same home. In particular, the snoring of one person may disrupt the rest of his or her bed partner. An increase in snoring is often associated with aging. Snoring is often an indication of gaining weight, tonsils that are swollen, problems with allergies or intake of alcohol. Those snoring often have higher blood pressure, morning headaches and obstructive sleep apnea. Redmond Way Dentistry can help you or your loved one with this problem.
There are several different approaches used when attempting to solve the snoring problem.
CPAP is a machine that forces the airway open using continual air pressure. It works for some people, but others have difficulty adjusting to the mask that covers the nose and forces air into the nostrils.
Other devices may be purchased using the internet or at local stores to attempt solving the snoring problem. Some of these devices may fit into the mouth while others are attached to the nose.
When bothered by snoring, many people do not know that a dentist may help by fitting the person who snores with an oral appliance. The appliance that the dentist provides is generally comfortable. It is a two piece device that is non bulky and adjustable for comfort. It moves the jaw forward reliably and is comfortable to wear. Most of the similar devices sold over the counter cannot match the comfort or fit of the one provided by a dentist.
The dentist prepares the oral device to prevent snoring that forces the bottom jaw forward slightly when in place. This movement helps to ensure the airway opening up and prevents vibration of the soft tissue located in the back of the mouth. When the tissue does not vibrate, the snoring problem no longer occurs.
Once patients receive their anti-snoring appliance, it is important that they continue follow up with the dentist to ensure the device is adjusted correctly to prevent more snoring.
When bothered by those who snore, many people many never think that a visit to their dentist can help. However, use of an oral appliance to open the airway and prevent vibration of the soft tissue is an effective way to prevent the problems of snoring. Use of the device will allow the person who is snoring and everyone else in the house to get better sleep.

El Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star (o T-Bird) fue un entrenador a reacción subsónico estadounidense. Fue producido por Lockheed y realizó su primer vuelo en 1948. El T-33 fue desarrollado a partir del Lockheed P-80/F-80, comenzando por el TP-80C/TF-80C en desarrollo, para después ser designado T-33A. Fue usado por la Armada de los Estados Unidos inicialmente como TO-2, luego como TV-2 y, después de 1962, como T-33B. Su último operador, la Fuerza Aérea Boliviana, retiró el modelo en julio de 2017, tras 44 años de servicio.

Diseño y desarrollo

El T-33 se desarrolló a partir del Lockheed P-80/F-80, alargando el fuselaje un poco más de un metro y agregando un segundo asiento, instrumentación y controles de vuelo. Inicialmente fue designado como una variante del P-80/F-80, el TP-80C/TF-80C.

Los trabajos de diseño en el Lockheed P-80 comenzaron en 1943, con el primer vuelo el 8 de enero de 1944. Tras el Bell P-59, el P-80 se convirtió en el primer caza a reacción en entrar en servicio con los escuadrones en las Fuerzas Aéreas del Ejército de los Estados Unidos. Cuando reactores más avanzados entraron en servicio, el F-80 asumió otra función: entrenar a pilotos de reactores. El reactor biplaza T-33 fue diseñado para entrenar a pilotos ya estaban cualificados para volar en un avión propulsado a hélice.

Originalmente designado como TF-80C, el T-33 realizó su primer vuelo el 22 de marzo de 1948, con el piloto de pruebas de Lockheed, Tony LeVier, a los mandos. La producción de Lockheed discurrió entre 1948 y 1959. La Armada de los Estados Unidos usó el T-33 como entrenador en tierra a partir de 1949. Fue designado como TV-2, pero fue redesignado como T-33B en 1962. La Armada operó algunos P-80C ex USAF como TO-1, cambiado a TV-1 aproximadamente un año después. Lockheed desarrolló posteriormente una versión con capacidad embarcada de la familia P-80/T-33, que finalmente llevó al T2V-1/T-1A SeaStar de finales de los años 50 a los años 70. Los dos prototipos TF-80C se modificaron como prototipos de una variante de caza biplaza todotiempo que se convirtió en el F-94 Starfire. Se produjo un total de 6557 T-33, 5691 de ellos por Lockheed, así como 210 por Kawasaki y 656 por Canadair.

Historia Operacional

Fuerza Aérea y Armada de los Estados Unidos

El T-33 biplaza demostró ser adecuado como entrenador avanzado, y ha sido utilizado para realizar tareas como director de aviones no tripulados y el remolque de blancos. La Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos comenzó a retirar gradualmente el T-33 de las tareas de entrenamiento de pilotos de primera línea en el Mando Aéreo de Entrenamiento a principios de la década de 1960, cuando los aviones Cessna T-37 Tweet y Northrop T-38 Talon comenzaron a reemplazarlo en el programa Entrenamiento de Pilotos de Pregrado (UPT). El T-33 fue usado para entrenar cadetes de la Academia de la Fuerza Aérea en Peterson Field (ahora Peterson Air Force Base en Colorado Springs). El T-37 reemplazó al T-33 en el entrenamiento de la Academia en 1975. El último T-33 utilizado en el entrenamiento avanzado fue reemplazado el 8 de febrero de 1967 en la Craig AFB, Alabama. Un reemplazo similar también sucedió en la Armada de los Estados Unidos con el TV-1 (también renombrado como T-33 en 1962), ya que aviones más avanzados, como el estadounidense North American T-2 Buckeye y Douglas TA-4 Skyhawk II, entraron en juego. Las versiones de la USAF y la USN del T-33 se incorporaron a las décadas de 1970 y 1980 como aeronaves utilitarias y entrenadores de competencia, y algunos de los antiguos aviones de la USN se usaron como blancos aéreos a escala real para realizar pruebas de misiles aire-aire desde aviones navales, y pruebas de misiles tierra-aire desde embarcaciones navales. Varios T-33 fueron asignados a las unidades de la USAF con McDonnell F-101, Convair F-102 Delta Dagger y Convair F-106 Delta Dart, hasta incluir unidades de la Guardia Aérea Nacional con similarmente equipadas, del Mando de Defensa Aeroespacial como instructores de competencia y aviones "enemigos" de prácticas. Otros pasaron luego al Mando Aéreo Táctico y a las unidades de la Guardia Aérea Nacional con F-106 y McDonnell-Douglas F-4, en un rol similar, hasta que finalmente se retiraron, siendo el último un modelo NT-33 retirado en abril de 1997.

Servicio en otras naciones

Algunos T-33 conservaron dos ametralladoras para el entrenamiento de puntería, y en algunos países, el T-33 incluso se usó en combate: la Fuerza Aérea de Cuba lo usó durante la Invasión de Bahía de Cochinos, produciendo algunas bajas. La versión RT-33A, un avión de reconocimiento producido principalmente para su uso en países extranjeros, tenía una cámara instalada en el morro y equipo adicional en la cabina trasera. Los T-33 continuaron volando como entrenadores, remolques de aviones no tripulados, para entrenamiento de simulación táctica y de combate, aviones "mula", de contramedidas electrónicas, y de entrenamiento de combate y como plataformas de pruebas hasta bien entrados los años ochenta.

El T-33 ha servido en más de 30 países y continuó operando como entrenador en fuerzas aéreas más pequeñas. Canadair construyó 656 T-33 con licencia para el servicio en la RCAF/Fuerzas Canadienses como Canadair CT-133 Silver Star, mientras que Kawasaki fabricó 210 aparatos en Japón. Otros operadores incluyeron Brasil, Turquía y Tailandia, que utilizaron el T-33 ampliamente.

En la década de 1980, se intentó modificar y modernizar el T-33 como Boeing Skyfox, pero la falta de pedidos llevó a la cancelación del proyecto. Aproximadamente se retenía el 70% del fuselaje del T-33 en el Skyfox, pero estaba propulsado por dos motores turbofan Garrett AiResearch TFE731-3A.

A fines de la década de 1990, 18 T-33 Mk-III y T-33 SF-SC de la Fuerza Aérea Boliviana fueron a Canadá para ser modernizados por Kelowna Flightcraft. Se instaló nueva aviónica y se realizaron inspecciones y renovaciones detalladas del fuselaje y las alas. La mayoría de los aviones regresaron a principios de 2001, y permanecieron operativos hasta que el modelo se retiró oficialmente el 31 de julio de 2017, siendo el último operador militar.

El 21 de junio de 1996, un T-33A-5-LO (entrenador TR-602) de la Fuerza Aérea Griega, pilotado por el Squadron Leader Ioannis Kouratzoglou, interceptó exitosamente a un F-16C turco que violaba el espacio aéreo restringido de Atenas, realizando maniobras a baja altitud y de altas g.

Uso Civil

Un número limitado de T-33 ha sido comprado por particulares, con dos aparatos utilizados por Boeing como aviones de seguimiento. En 2010, un T-33 propiedad de Boeing se usó como un avión de seguimiento durante el primer vuelo del Boeing 787. El primer vuelo del Boeing 737 MAX-7, el 16 de marzo de 2018, también incluía un avión T-33 de seguimiento. El primer vuelo del Boeing 777-9, el 25 de enero de 2020, también presentó un avión de seguimiento T-33, que despegó desde KBFI y se reunió con el 777-9 en KPAE, paró en KMWH y despegó de nuevo para seguir al 777-9 en su regreso a KBFI, volando alrededor del Monte Rainier, antes de aterrizar. El actor y piloto Michael Dorn fue dueño de un T-33.

Q: How to find a import module dependency for a given variable in a source code in python I am trying to identify the import module name which is dependent by a variable in the script.
ex:
import module1

import module2

x = module1.func()

y = x.func()

given y, my output should be y -> x -> module1 and the respective line num.
Can someone help me figure this out? Just now started exploring this with AST.

A: Just using ast is not going to be helpful in a lot of situations. You
need to include some kind of (simulated) execution, akin of exec().
For example, what can the ast tell from this Python program, which outputs
a string of digits? The identifier "digits" seems to come out of thin air
in the syntax tree.
exec('from string import digits')
mystr = digits
print(mystr)

And, to support the argument of execution needed, the following program
would have to result in output nums -> int, but just using a syntax tree, it
would probably output nums -> string | int.
import string
nums = string.digits
if True:
    nums = 0
print(nums)

Now, what you are asking can still be done, but rather than solve it with
abstract syntax trees, you would have more success using trace as a
starting point, and enhance the data collected in the various tracing calls.

A: use __name__ attribute
>>> import numpy
>>> x = numpy
>>> y = x.__name__
>>> y
'numpy'

Edit:
import numpy

arr = []

def a(strofwanted, library, varname):
    global arr
    arr.append([varname, library])
    return exec(strofwanted)

x = a("numpy.array([1, 2])", "numpy", "x")
>>>x
[1,2]
>>>arr
[["x", "numpy"]]

Tyler Arnold Courtesy of Republic Records
The past month, the top 10 of the Billboard 200 has contained some familiar faces: Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, The Weeknd and Tyler, the Creator, to name a few. But it has also included another name not so used to being in the upper region of the main music albums chart: Bo Burnham, whose comedy-music album Inside: The Songs has held steady in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 in four of the five full weeks since its release — only dipping out once to No. 11 — and coming in at No. 8 this week.
The album, released by Imperial/Republic, is the first comedy album to reach that region since 2015, and is a particular triumph for Tyler Arnold, the Republic Records executive vp A&R who is usually more associated with his work with Post Malone, whom he signed in 2015, or Metro Boomin, with whom he inked a joint venture for his Boominati Worldwide label in 2017. But Arnold, who caught Burnham's Netflix special Inside, from which the album was pulled, saw an opportunity and brought the 30-year-old comedian to Republic — helping earn himself the title of Billboard's Executive of the Week.
"The reviews were incredible, and everyone was posting about the special, but no one realized the music wasn't available," Arnold tells Billboard. "Within hours we assembled an incredible team internally around Bo and we created a plan to get the music out ASAP."
Related Executive of the Week: RCA Records Co-Head Promotion Sam Selolwane 07/16/2021
Bo Burnham's Inside (The Songs) is back up to No. 8 on the Billboard 200, its fourth week in the top 10 and the first comedy album to reach that mark since 2015. What key decision did you make to help make that happen?
I reached out to Bo and his team a couple days after Inside launched. I kept going back to Netflix to listen to the music. The reviews were incredible, and everyone was posting about the special, but no one realized the music wasn't available. Within hours we assembled an incredible team internally around Bo and we created a plan to get the music out ASAP.
How did you decide to sign Bo's comedy special in the first place? Did you have to convince him to sign to a record label?
I was on Netflix one night and decided to watch his new special. After the first few scenes, I was so blown away that I paused it and immediately emailed his team. They didn't have a partner for the music yet and after a few meetings, we realized that our goals and vision aligned for the project. I've been a fan of Bo's work for years and he's always had a musical element to his comedy, but nothing like this. I really believed we could make a difference.
How is the deal different than signing a music artist? And does it cover more works moving forward, or just this album?
It's been an honor to work with Bo on this project and we're excited at the prospect of many more projects together in the future. For an album like this, we had to be more nimble and move faster. We released the project a day after the deal was signed to take advantage of all the momentum.
Related Executive of the Week: Columbia Records Senior VP Marketing Jay Schumer 07/09/2021
What has the label done to get behind the album?
Our top priority has been not to compromise Bo's vision for the project. The music and creative stands for itself, so our biggest objective has been to educate our partners and find new opportunities for the music. Whether it's streaming activations, viral social moments, or song edits, we bring Bo a ton of ideas and let him decide what feels right.
Did you expect this album to do so well for so long?
Bo created a masterpiece with Inside — I've probably watched it 10 times now — but it's impossible to predict what it's turned into. It feels like this project has become the zeitgeist of pop culture at the moment.
Is the comedy route one where you see room for the label to expand? Would we see more of these types of deals in the future?
I would love to work more in comedy. It requires you to think differently and it's allowed me to work with amazing creatives from different backgrounds. As a kid, I bought some really influential comedy albums and I think this genre should continue to get more attention and credit.
Related Executive of the Week: Interscope Geffen A&M Executive VP Nir Seroussi 07/02/2021
With topical songs like "Bezos I" rising in streams after Jeff Bezos' flight to space, how can you promote and work a comedy album differently than you would something else?
We've had to think outside the box. The song is 58 seconds long, so many of the traditional promotion strategies don't apply. Between various digital activations and viral moments, we've continued to educate people on the importance of this project and song in pop culture today.

Successful Examples of Higher Ed Outdoor Learning Spaces
A growing number of campuses are embracing outdoor classrooms. What does it take to set one up?
Chris Hayhurst
Chris Hayhurst is a freelance writer who covers education technology and healthcare, among other topics. He's a regular contributor to the CDW family of technology magazines
Outdoor learning spaces have become more common since COVID-19 hit the nation nearly a year ago. As colleges and universities plan to continue remote and hybrid learning this spring, many are considering bringing students back on campus to attend classes outdoors.
Among the higher education institutions that have embraced outdoor classrooms so far are the University of California, Davis, which had 13 tents available at the start of the fall quarter; the University of Virginia, which had nine multipurpose tents faculty and students used for classes and open-air dining; and even Amherst College — in the colder climate of Massachusetts — which held outdoor orchestra rehearsals and recordings in tents this fall.
Here's a look at how higher education institutions across the nation have designed their outdoor learning spaces, and the lessons they learned along the way.
Enjoying the Flexibility of Outdoor Higher Ed Classrooms
"One of the great things about these spaces is the flexibility they offer," says Trey Conatser, associate director of the Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching at the University of Kentucky. Last spring, UK put up nearly a dozen "campus canopies" that could accommodate between 16 to 48 people.
The Wi-Fi-equipped tents, supported by Ubiquiti and Cisco technologies, come furnished with sanitizing stations, tables and chairs. Some are left open throughout the day and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Others may be reserved ahead of time by instructors and student study groups.
"You can go in there and you can have it be as tech-enhanced or tech-free as you want," Conatser says. Many students find the tents are especially useful when they don't have time to make it home for their next online class. "If you have a class in-person that finishes at 9:50 and your next class is remote starting at 10, it's a place where you can plug in your device without having to cross the entire campus," he says.
Conatser also reminds universities that these classrooms need to be accessible to students and staff with disabilities — especially if the spaces become permanent. "Be sure to involve faculty and students in the design process," says Trey Conatser.

Do's and Don'ts for Outdoor Classrooms
University leaders say outdoor learning spaces have been relatively easy to set up. But that doesn't mean their deployment went smoothly.
Jonathon Hunter, production manager for the Department of Dance at The Ohio State University, says he and his colleagues initially thought that removing seating from an indoor theater would give them enough space to maintain social distancing. Before long, they realized that didn't suffice. The university needed a lot more learning spaces outside to accommodate everyone.
Their solution? A tent that stretches more than 3,000 square feet. Equipped with a specialized floor similar to those found in indoor dance studios, the tent also includes lighting and a dedicated sound system. It didn't help that the tent was located next to a busy street. "We discovered early on that our instructors were having trouble projecting their voices with their masks on," he explains "But the audio system took care of that. Once they had microphones, they could speak to the entire room," Hunter says.
A final challenge, Hunter recalls, was reliable Wi-Fi. The university anticipated increased demand for connectivity soon after the pandemic began. The IT team launched an ambitious initiative to ensure outdoor wireless access was available across the entire campus.
MORE ON EDTECH: See what technologies colleges need for outdoor classrooms.
The IT department installed more than 300 HPE Aruba AP-375 and -377 wireless access points. "They're easy to put in, and they're outdoor rated. They give you the same experience you'd expect if you were inside," says Mike Hiatt, OSU's Director of Networking and Network Architecture.
Unfortunately, the dance department set up their tent where there were no wireless APs yet. They also unknowingly positioned it over a maintenance hole cover that IT needed to access.
"We had to be able to stream so students could attend class remotely … so having wireless at the tent was critical," Hunter says. The university ultimately decided the most practical solution was a Wi-Fi hotspot. "We just put it in a cart that the instructors wheel out before the start of class each day," he says.
Another word of advice from Hunter: Don't skimp on power. "If you're running electric to the site, add an extra line. If you don't, you're going to wish you had later," he says.
Outdoor Learning Spaces Are Here to Stay
Hunter estimates that OSU dance classes relied on the tent for 10 weeks last fall. They stopped using it when the temperatures dipped to the point where instructors could not stay warm. "We purchased a couple of space heaters, but they weren't enough, and they ended up blowing a circuit," he says.
As is the case at many higher ed institutions, spring classes at OSU run only until the end of April. In Columbus, Ohio, where the university is located, temperatures at that time of year rarely make it above 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
"That may be a bit too cold for our performers, but I'm sure we can find other uses for tents," Hunter says.
Even if the pandemic ends by next fall, Hunter still looks forward to teaching outdoors. "We liked having this outdoor space available. I know I'd be interested in using it again," he says.

Semiconductor Industry Association Applauds Launching U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement; Agreement Has Potential to Eliminate Trade Barriers
Business Wire, USA
SAN JOSE, Calif. —(Business Wire)— Feb. 2, 2006 — The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today applauded United States Trade Representative Rob Portman for initiating talks with Korea on a Free Trade Agreement.
"Korea is a significant market for American semiconductor producers — in 2005, the Korean semiconductor market was approximately $4.5 billion," said SIA President George Scalise. "Estimates show that growth in the Korean semiconductor market will outpace growth in the rest of the world over the next four years, adding to the potential benefits this agreement could yield," Scalise continued. A free trade agreement also has the potential to increase sales of a broad range of information technology products that utilize semiconductors.
Free trade agreements can address a number of areas that are of importance to the U.S. semiconductor industry, including tariff and non-tariff barriers, standards, customs procedures, transparency, intellectual property protection, and targeted support for specific industries, among others.
"Almost three quarters of our manufacturing capacity is in the U.S., while less than a third of our sales are in this country. U.S. semiconductor producers are the most competitive in the world — when SIA's members are allowed to compete unencumbered by barriers to trade they succeed. I applaud Ambassador Portman's efforts to ensure that U.S. semiconductor makers are able to compete in all world markets," said Scalise.
About the SIA
The SIA is the leading voice for the semiconductor industry and has represented U.S. semiconductor companies since 1977. Collectively, the chip industry employs a domestic workforce of 225,000 people. More information about the SIA can be found at www.sia-online.org.

Immigration law is complex and applying for a visa is often not a straightforward process. This is why you may need the assistance of an immigration solicitor in London like Saracens Solicitors. We are here to help you make the right choices and avoid the common pitfalls. We have a strong track record of successful applications. Our professional team of friendly legal professionals is on hand to give you the guidance you need whether you are planning a holiday in the UK or responding to more stressful and urgent circumstances.
The first step to a successful application is to choose the right visa.
Most applications require the payment of a fee. If you choose the wrong visa and your application fails, you are not entitled to a refund of the fee.
There may be visas which suit your circumstances perfectly which you are not aware of and, without professional help from an immigration solicitor in London, like Saracens Solicitors, you may not find this out until it is too late.
There could be lots of paperwork that you need to submit with your visa application. If the supporting documentation is not up to the required standards then your application may be refused. Not only will you lose your fee but there are some applications that you are not allowed to make more than once so you could miss your chance altogether.
Any follow up requests for information or appeal will come with a deadline. This can be as short as 7 days. When we act as your immigration solicitor in London, we help you stay on top of deadlines and paperwork so that your application is not automatically rejected on the basis of a technicality.
In the event that your application is refused, you may still have options. Visa decisions can be appealed on various grounds. Saracens Solicitors is up-to-date with the latest appeal processes and guidelines so we can help you make your case and give you a good chance of a successful appeal. If you are not eligible to appeal, we can advise you on any other options that are available. We work hard to explore every avenue with you.


My favorite holiday is, and always has been, Halloween. As a a kid it was the candy and the dressing up, and as an adult it's… well, still the candy and the dressing up, but with added booze. So what better way to celebrate the return of the best TV show ever, than by going for a Twin Peaks Halloween costume?
I'll tell you how – by having an entirely Twin Peaks-themed Halloween party, that's how. Regardless of whether it's an all-out Peaksfest you're attending, or just your garden variety Halloween party, we've done you a solid. We're giving you a comprehensive list of the best characters to dress up as, and ideas on how to achieve it. You can buy us a cup of Joe.
Going as Twin Peaks' Mr C for Halloween would be pretty awesome. And it's not a hard one to pull off. Check out our suggestions for your Halloween costume and styling and make yourself the one all the cool kids want their photo taken with.
Diane is the coolest new character from season three of Twin Peaks. Well obviously she's not new, but seeing her is new – and what a treat that is. Her bold style and fearless delivery make an exciting prospect for your Twin Peaks Halloween costume.
Perhaps you want to go for the iconic femme fatale herself for your outfit? Laura Palmer is mysterious, dangerous, troubled, but caring. We've got great ideas for a costume for her both in spirit form in the Black Lodge, and deceased, wrapped in plastic.
Laura's demure cousin Maddy comes to visit Twin Peaks after Laura's death. This outfit is a little offbeat for a mainstream Halloween party as you can guarantee most people won't get it, but for a Twin Peaks-themed party, it'd be an interesting, less obvious choice.
She's the mischievous, yet meticulously dressed amateur Sherlock, prone to getting what she wants & getting into trouble. If you want to go for an outfit you could just as easily wear on a standard day at school or the office & look chic as, this is the costume for you.
You gotta be a bit careful if you go for Shelly – at a regular party, you could just be mistaken for the staff. We've got ideas on how to avoid people asking you for a rum & coke.
Smart, dashing & intuitive – that's our Dale. But how to pull off that cherry pie-eating, black coffee-drinking demeanor? We'll let you know how.
If you're thinking of going for a Halloween costume that's actually frightening, then BOB's your malignant, body-snatching spirit. It's also a fairly straightforward one to do, Killer Bob having a somewhat conservative style for an entity of evil.
Sheriff Harry Truman is the handsome everyman of Twin Peaks. He may be a donut-lovin' small town cop, but he's also open to Coop's out-there mystery solving techniques. He's got a nice warm outfit if your All Hallow's Eve party is outside.
Leo Johnson is the misogynist criminal scumbag of the town who had a hand in Laura's death, but does get his comeuppance – in a variety of rather brutal ways. You can go for awake Leo Johnson for your outfit, or, and much more fun, you can go as vegetative state, catatonic Leo. Wheelchair optional.
Follow the links above to find out how to dress up as your favorite Twin Peaks characters. We want to see your Twin Peaks Halloween costumes too – share them with us on Twitter @BackToTwinPeaks, or on facebook.com/BackToTwinPeaks. And let us know what you think of our costume ideas.

Move over cats, here comes the dog litter. In addition to your traditional tray-based litter box, there are more modern dog litter box alternatives. Enter the dog potty: image a 2 tiered tray, the top layer with grass for dog poo and the bottom layer for the liquid business. To clean, hose it down and bleach. The grass can be replaced more frequently if you opt for fresh turf or less frequently for artificial grass.

Artist Emma Fay transforms incredibly patient models into animals using yoga poses and body paint. The 29-year-old artist spends hours using water-based paints to transform her models into realistic animals, including a caterpillar, a crocodile and a cobra. Her latest work is a set of ten images called the Union of Yoga, which celebrates the yoga discipline by painting the subject of each yogic pose on the human body. Fay painstakingly paints each model's body and her partner Jonathan Macauley photographs each pose. Fay aimed to visualise the cohesion between art and spiritual practice through her work.


Just remember that there's also such a thing as TOO much proximity, which is a problem most people ignore. You CAN spend too much time with your significant other. Both of you have lives (which we'll detail in the next table leg), and oftentimes spending too much time together is more detrimental to those lives than spending a too little.
This isn't social security. This isn't proper healthcare. You don't need that other particular human being in order to be a functional (and even relatively happy) human being yourself. If neither party is capable of being without the other, they will never be able to tell if they truly want, versus need, the other.
Good for you, it is also the rarest problem – but when it IS a problem, your relationship might well be doomed. You might also superficially lump it in with proximity, because conflicting life goals often create physical distance. I make the distinction below, because sometimes you have proximity, but conflict in life goals.
That's it! Those are the four legs. They hold up the table-top of your relationship.

Series Preview: New York Yankees @ Chicago Cubs (5/5-5/7)
By Ryan Thoms - May 04, 2017
Two of baseball's most historic franchises will square off for a three-game interleague series starting on Friday. The first-place Yankees (17-9) were off yesterday, but recently won two out of three games to the last place Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees starting pitching struggled all series and needs to pick it up versus a potent Chicago Cubs lineup. The pitching was bailed out by the scorching-hot offense that scored twenty runs against a struggling Blue Jays pitching staff. The reigning World Series champions, Chicago Cubs, are hosting the Yankees for the first time since 2011, a year they lost 91 games. The Chicago Cubs have not dominated the competition this year like they did in 2016, but currently sit atop the National League Central standings at a 16-12 record. They are fresh off a dramatic thirteen inning win against the Phillies solidifying their series win against Philadelphia. This is an extremely talented Cubs team, and the Yankees are looking to make a statement.
GAME ONE (Friday, May 5 | First Pitch: 2:20 PM ET)
Michael Pineda (3-1 3.14 ERA) vs Kyle Hendricks (2-1 4.18 ERA)
TV: YES, CSN-C, MLB Network
The first game of the series is set in the afternoon on Friday with an intriguing pitching matchup. The Cubs will trot out Kyle Hendricks, who had a historically low ERA last season (2.13). Hendricks has struggled this season, while allowing almost two home runs a game and averaging four walks per nine innings. His last start was encouraging as he allowed only three hits in six innings against Boston last Sunday. The Yankees lead the league in home runs and are known to have fantastic plate discipline, so Hendricks has his work cut out for him, if he fails to make adjustments. Matt Holliday owns Kyle Hendricks as he is hitting .467 lifetime against him with three home runs, however, it is likely he will not be in the lineup with the absence of the DH. Knowing Joe Girardi and his love for matchups, there is the slightest possibility Holliday sneaks in the outfield for this game, but do not count on it.
Michael Pineda will get the ball for the Yankees. Pineda is coming off an eight-strikeout performance against the Orioles, where he allowed two unearned runs. Pineda, however, was chased after only five and one-third of an inning, due to a high pitch count. Pineda needs to pitch efficiently in this start if he wants to have success. He has the potential to record a lot of strikeouts against the Cubs who are in the top five in the National League for total strikeouts. The Cubs are always loaded with power bats, who will make Pineda pay for his mistakes. This start could go either way for Pineda depending on how locked in he is on the mound. Ben Zobrist is the only hitter on the Cubs to have faced Pineda more than three times. He is 2-12 with a strikeout.

GAME TWO (Saturday, May 6 | First Pitch: 7:15 PM ET)
Jordan Montgomery (1-1 4.15 ERA) vs Brett Anderson (2-1 6.23 ERA)
TV: FOX
In game two of the series the Cubs will pitch veteran left-hander Brett Anderson. Anderson is known for his injury-plagued career and is hoping that this season he has his chance to be a stable, healthy member of an MLB rotation. His results have been mixed thus far, having three starts of allowing an earned run or less and two starts where he allowed six or more runs. His biggest struggle so far, this season, is making it deep into games, as he has only reached the six-inning threshold once in his five starts. The Yankees' right handed power hitters should see this as a favorable matchup. The projected lineup against Anderson has collectively hit 2-for-28 in their careers. Jacoby Ellsbury is 1-for-14.
Yankees' rookie Jordan Montgomery will get the ball for the away team. Montgomery is coming off a start where he received the loss, but pitched well, letting a few key pitches determine his final line. Walks were an issue for Montgomery (four in five innings), who normally is notorious for pounding the zone. This will be his biggest test yet in terms of opposing lineups. He, like Anderson, has also yet to make it past the sixth inning. This has the potential to be a game decided by the bullpens with both starters not being known for the length thus far in 2017. No Cub has faced Montgomery before.
GAME THREE (Sunday, May 7 | First Pitch: 8:05 PM ET)
Luis Severino (2-2 3.86) vs Jon Lester (1-1 3.67 ERA)
TV: ESPN
Jon Lester will pitch against the Yankees on primetime television on Sunday, but will be facing a very different Yankees team than he was used to facing with Boston. Lester was a crucial member of the Red Sox and Yankees rivalry in the late 2000s and is no stranger to pitching on baseball's biggest stage and succeeding. The Yankees do have the credentials on this year's team to out duel Lester. The projected Yankees lineup for Sunday is hitting a combined .345 against Lester in their careers. The Yankees have also seen an increase in stolen bases this season and with Lester's obvious issues with holding on runners, do not be surprised to see the Yankees run, a lot. The obvious guys to steal are Brett Gardner and Jacoby Ellsbury (whose status for the series is still in question), but guys like Chase Headley and Aaron Judge, who have displayed that they are willing to run, should also take advantage of Lester.

The Yankees will hand the ball to Luis Severino. Severino was quoted earlier last week that he hated pitching in Boston, because it made him feel uncomfortable and is a hard ballpark to pitch in due to the fans' atmosphere. He silenced his own criticisms shutting down Boston in seven innings of work. While he struggled in his last start against Toronto, Severino has had plus-strikeout stuff all season and has flashed pure dominance in many of his starts this season. If Severino can control his pitches and not make mistakes early, he has the capability, like Michael Pineda, to shut down a strike-out prone Cubs team. No one on the Cubs has faced Severino before in the batter's box. This game has the potential to be one of the best Sunday Night Baseball games all season with the pitching matchups and star studded lineups. This game is a must watch for any baseball fan.
Players to Watch: Yankees
This will be Castro's first game at Wrigley Field since he was traded for literally nothing back in the 2015-2016 offseason. The Yankees got their starting second baseman for Adam Warren, who is back on the team after half a season in Chicago and the infamous Brendan Ryan, who was designated for assignment shortly after the transaction. Castro was expendable with the likes of Javier Baez and Addison Russell available to occupy the middle infield. Castro had one of his best offensive seasons of his career last season for New York and is off to scorching start in the early season hitting .362 with THIRTEEN multi-hit games. He is currently in All-Star form, and do not be surprised if he continues to hit well in Chicago with a little bit of added swagger.
Aroldis Chapman will be returning to Wrigley for the first time since pitching for the Cubs in the 2016 World Series. Chapman along with Adam Warren will be receiving their World Series Rings on Friday and look for Chapman to not give in against his former teammates. The Cubs gave up a ton of talent for Chapman, but many argue that without him they would not have broken their infamous curse. It will be interesting to see how the Cubs fans react if Chapman gets an opportunity to pitch. Seeing Chapman match up against the likes of Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant will be must see television.
When is Aaron Judge not a player to watch? He was announced as the American League Rookie of the Month and decided to show all of Yankee Stadium why he earned that award by hitting his MLB leading thirteenth home run. Aaron Judge is displaying power not seen since Alex Rodriguez's prime from the right side. It could be argued, however, that he is the best player in general that has worn a Yankee uniform in a very long time. He currently leads the American League in home runs, runs, runs batted in, slugging percentage, and OPS. He has also made many highlight real worthy catches this season. Judge did not disappoint in his first series in Fenway Park, so expectations are high for the baby bomber in Chicago.

Austin Romine has been solid in the absence of Sanchez, but Yankees fans alike are eager to see how much better the monstrous offense can get with El Kraken's bat. Gary Sanchez is expected to come off the disabled list in this series and his offense should not be worried about, as in his first at-bat, on the first pitch he saw in his AAA Scranton rehab assignment he hit a home run. Sanchez will add another intimidating presence in the Yankees lineup and pressure should be off his shoulder with everyone else hitting so well, which should allow him to gradually get back into his potential form.
Players to Watch: Cubs
The reigning National League MVP got off to a sluggish start in 2017 but has recently picked things up. He will arguably be one of the best offensive players that the Yankees have faced all season and should not be taken lightly by the young Yankee pitchers that are projected to face him. The Red Sox learned that the hard way as he hit two homeruns in their series at Fenway. Bryant is susceptible for to the strikeout, which may be the key for the Yankees to keep the damage to a minimum. Bryant leads the Cubs in every major offensive category, except in home runs, where he trails Anthony Rizzo by one. He went 4-for-5 on Thursday.
Photo Credit: MLB.com
Kyle Schwarber is off to a rough start in 2017. The young left slugger is hitting below the Mendoza-line to start the season, but has hit four home runs. He has struck out a whopping thirty-none times to begin the season, which is eleven more than the second-place player on the team. In his pinch-hit at-bat on Thursday, he also struck out. Schwarber was sidelined for most of last season with a leg injury, but was miraculously able to have a few at-bats in the World Series after only playing in minimal fall league games. Whether his poor play has any connection to coming back early from a major injury or is just due to missing a whole season's worth of at-bats, Schwarber definitely wants to turn his season around as soon as possible. Despite his struggles, the Yankees should not forget how dangerous he is at the plate.
As I mentioned before, Lester has plenty of experience pitching against the New York Yankees organization in his veteran career. He will not be facing many of the familiar faces he is used to pitching against, but should still have the same adrenaline he usually has, when he pitches against the Yanks. Expect him to display emotion on the mound and grind out at-bats against New York. The Yankees have to play to his weaknesses if they want to knock him out of the game.
This weekend series has the capability of being a "Judgement Weekend" (pun fully intended) filled with extremely entertaining baseball and intense moments. Whether it is Lester vs. Judge, Severino vs. Bryant, or Chapman versus Rizzo, this series will be full of can't miss matchups that may not be seen again for a very longtime. This series has the potential to really propel one of these teams forward in the early going. With the talent on both of these teams, who knows, this could be a preview of a World Series matchup in the years to come.

Six early trade targets for the New York Yankees
The Yankees currently sit at 32-17 and are on top of the AL East. Despite this, the team has some areas it could improve in; however, Brian Cashman will not have to dig into his pocketbook or pick up the phone to get all the help this team needs. The team is expecting reinforcements off of the IL on both sides of the ball over the course of the next two months, which should give this already successful team an even bigger boost. However, this does not mean the Yankees will be silent on the trade market as more injuries could amount, setbacks can happen, and other teams will acquire big pieces resulting in the Yankees not wanting to fall behind. The Yankees are coming off two consecutive successful regular seasons followed by postseason failures, and still have the minor league talent to swing some game-changing deals. With this in mind, here are six early candidates to keep an eye on as the major league season transitions into the summer months.
Creating a Yankees' trade package: Marcus Stroman Part Two
By maxx - July 27, 2019
Last year we delved into various trade opportunities for the Yankees, and they ended up acquiring one of our proposed targets of J.A. Happ. In 2019, the first place Bombers will again look to the trade market for rotation help. The IL-Yankees of 2019 have lost Luis Severino, Domingo German, James Paxton, and C.C. Sabathia to injury at some point this year, and Severino is still on the IL. With the uncertainty of Severino's return to form and the heaps of question marks surrounding the rest of the rotation, it is obvious the Yankees could use another arm to the rotation.
Six implications of the Edwin Encarnacion trade
By Ryan Thoms - June 16, 2019
News broke last night that the Yankees had made their first splash of the summer trade season by acquiring slugger Edwin Encarnacion from the Seattle Mariners. Encarnacion is the American League home run leader and will be a welcomed addition to the team he has hit well against over the course of his career. To many including myself, this trade was very fuzzy at first glance. The Yankees did not have a need to acquire an offensive player, especially when their pitching has been their weakness, thus far. Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton's imminent returns further blurred the reasoning behind this trade. However, after further thought, I have come up with six implications that result from this trade, all of which help make sense of this move.


A study by researchers from the University of Ibadan and Afe Babalola University in Nigeria found that moringa (Moringa oleifera) improves immune functions and protects the liver from potential damage. This finding, which was published in the journal Pharmacognosy Communications, was based on the results of in vivo experiments conducted in albino rats.
Moringa is popularly called the "miracle tree" due to its nutritional, medicinal, and economic benefits. Because of these, the plant is widely cultivated and highly valued in tropical and sub-tropical regions.
Traditionally, moringa roots, leaves, gum, and seeds were used as natural remedies for various health problems. These include rheumatism, constipation, headache, infections, dysentery, asthma, and fever.
More and more people are consuming moringa either in its raw form or as processed preparations due to its reported benefits. However, there is little information regarding the toxicity profile of this plant.
In this study, the researchers collected extracts from the seeds and air-dried leaves of moringa and determined their effects on albino rats using different biochemical assays for different markers of liver cell damage, blood profile analysis, and histopathological examination.
Results showed that the rats that were given extracts from either moringa seeds or leaves exhibited an increase in neutrophils and white blood cells, indicating possible improvements in immunity.
The treated rats also had reduced levels of the liver cell damage markers, namely aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransaminase, and alkaline phosphatase. This could mean that moringa can protect the liver from damage to some extent.
From these results, the researchers concluded that seed and leaf extracts of moringa have immune-boosting and hepatoprotective activities.
