Here's a rig assembled from used components based on 30+ years of playing that provides great tone, the security of backups, flexibility, and that actually fits in the back seat of a small car! I like the classic Ampeg tone, and the 5-tube Ampeg SVP preamp does it so well that I use two in this rig. Each drives a solid-state Ampeg 3550 power amp. One goes to an Ampeg 4x10 cabinet (all tone controls set flat except for bass at 2 o'clock). The other preamp is set with a small mid boost that sends some low-midrange bark to an Ampeg 2x10 cab. For the classic SVT sound, I can run through one SVP and power amp to both cabs (350 watts into 4Ω), but the bi-amp sounds great for a jam and provides a rumble with just enough low-mid boost to cut through the mix. Having the twin pre- and power amps also provides great piece of mind in my blues/rock jams. I hardly ever use the DBX 31-band EQ in my rack; the tone from the bass and preamps is great as it is. But if I'm in a room with strange acoustics, I put it between my bass and a Radial BigShot ABY splitter/switcher that sends the post-EQ signal to each preamp. I also use short Pro Co Guardians "Fat Max" 8-gauge speaker cables between the power amps and the speaker cabs.


Placement (a.k.a. distribution) is one of the "4 Ps" of marketing: product, promotion, price, placement. Gaining new customers through expanding distribution channels has many benefits including: a) boosted profits through increased revenues and reduced per-unit production costs; b) raised awareness among consumers improving brand recognition; and c) reduced market risks by spreading the risks over multiple channels.
The most critical step of any expansion strategy is to evaluate potential markets by comparing their attributes to those of your target market. If you are not certain of your target market, begin by examining your current customer base for common characteristics and interests. Characteristics (demographics) are things such as age, gender, ethnicity, income, education, occupation, marital status, presence of children, pet ownership, owners vs. renters, etc. Interests (psychographics) are things such as attitudes, behaviors, values, hobbies, leisure activities, lifestyles (health/diet/exercise, etc.), politics, religion, media choices, etc. Be sure to evaluate the data that connects your customers to your products and services.
Defining your target market is the hard part. Once you've identified who you are targeting the next step is to locate those markets with the highest concentrations of potential customers. Visualizing your data on an interactive map is one of the best ways to evaluate potential markets as well as site locations. Maps allow you to assess a variety of attributes in addition to your target data including traffic patterns, travel times, competitor locations, business establishments and more. Take a look at this month's thematic map below to see mapped data in action.

BUSINESS FOCUS: Kate Helton facilitates a business opportunities forum with Hyderabad, Brisbane's sister-city in India. Contributed
by EllaArchibald-Binge
Ella Archibald-Binge
27th Sep 2013 4:53 PM
THE bright lights of Brisbane have set the stage for Kate Helton's exciting business career with the Brisbane City Council, where a typical work day can mean anything from facilitating international forums to breathing new life into the city's laneways.
After graduating from the University of Queensland with a bachelor of business management, majoring in human resources and international business, the 22 year old scored a coveted position as a business analyst with the BCC.
As part of the council's two-year graduate program, Kate has rotated through four different departments - customer focus, international relations and multicultural affairs, development assessment and now creative communities.Her latest assignment has seen Kate involved with some of Brisbane's most vibrant events.
"In creative communities I work as a project manager of about five projects at a time," she explained.
"I'm currently working on a laneway revival project, a project as part of the Brisbane Writers Festival, a launch event for the Lord Mayor and the Brisasia Festival for 2014."
The former Stanthorpe State High School student will take on a major role in November, facilitating one of the council's six yearly laneway revival projects as part of its Friday Night Laneways series.
"The idea is that it will bring to life the hidden nooks and crannies of the city through events performance and outdoor displays," Kate said.
"I have engaged a producer for a 'salsa in the street' event focusing on Latin music, dance and food.
"I will oversee the producer to make sure his budget is on track and he has the relevant permits."
Before moving to the creative department, Kate put her international business skills to good use, sharing the council's business intel with overseas groups.
She facilitated six international delegations in as many months.
"They are groups from across the world (usually 20-50 people) from different companies or businesses and they come to Brisbane to learn best practice or how things are done in Australia," Kate said.
"I facilitate the forum by being the MC and networking with the guests."
Some of Kate's major functions saw her working with China's Chongqing Environmental Protection Bureau and the Office of People's Government of Anhui Province.
Another event saw her engage five Brisbane CEOs to meet with Indian delegates about bringing business from the Queensland capital to the Indian market.
The seasoned traveller has been to Fiji and China this year, but that's not her favourite thing about working full-time.
"What I like most about where my life has taken me is that I work and live in an exciting city," Kate said.

Privacy Concerns Loom as Congress Moves to Allow Internet Providers to Share Users' Sensitive Data
Wednesday March 29, 2017 6:32 AM PDT by Mitchel Broussard
The House of Representatives voted this week to repeal a law previously passed by the Obama administration, requiring Internet Service Providers to gain permission from users in order to access and share certain pieces of personal information with advertisers (via The Washington Post).
The law, which was approved last year prior to the Presidential election, limited what ISPs such as Verizon, AT&T and Comcast could do with sensitive data including user location, browsing history, and even their Social Security numbers. The law also required ISPs to strengthen protections against hackers and online data thieves, and would have officially gone into effect at the end of 2017.
Image via The Verge
The Republican majority House has now voted to repeal these measures, with critics of the previous law arguing that the move will allow ISPs to enter a level playing field -- and subsequently increase healthy competition in the targeted online advertising market -- with companies like Google and Facebook. With the repeal, ISPs will no longer need user consent to sell their data to marketers "and other companies that mine personal data." The vote ended with 215 in favor to 205 in opposition.
In a party-line vote, House Republicans freed Internet service providers such as Verizon, AT&T and Comcast of protections approved just last year that had sought to limit what companies could do with information such as customer browsing habits, app usage history, location data and Social Security numbers. The rules also had required providers to strengthen safeguards for customer data against hackers and thieves.
The Senate has voted to nullify those measures, which were set to take effect at the end of this year. If Trump signs the legislation as expected, providers will be able to monitor their customers' behavior online and, without their permission, use their personal and financial information to sell highly targeted ads — making them rivals to Google and Facebook in the $83 billion online advertising market.
According to The Washington Post, the repeal is considered "the first salvo" in what is expected to turn into a "significant reworking" of rules and regulations regarding internet security and privacy under the Trump administration. The repeal goes so far as to include wording that aims to prevent the Federal Communications Commission -- which drafted the original law -- from issuing similar protections in the future.
Those in support of the original FCC protections argued that ISPs require strict regulations because they represent a much broader scope of access to user data, unlike search engines which only access a snapshot of a user's browsing data. If a user is unhappy with a site's data access they can decide to stop using it, the FCC supporters argued, but switching ISPs because of potentially intrusive data mining "is far more difficult."
On the other side, supporters of this week's repeal said that strict ISP privacy regulations "stifle innovation" when providers are forced to abide by such overbearing guidelines and laws.
Tuesday's vote is a sign that Internet providers will be treated more permissively at a time when conservatives control the executive and legislative branches. That could be a boon for companies such as Verizon and Comcast as they race to become online advertising giants.
Internet providers have historically made their money from selling access to the Web. But now these providers are looking to increase their revenue by tapping the vast troves of data their customers generate as they visit websites, watch videos, read information and download apps.
As some watchers of the repeal have noted, interest in virtual private networks has grown online in the wake of potential threats to user privacy. VPNs provide secure and encrypted connections between a user's Wi-Fi device and the VPN server, cloaking their browsing history and preventing intrusions into their private information. Major businesses and corporations most commonly use VPNs to ensure sensitive information remains private.
For the new legislation, the next step is for it to be signed by the President, at which point it will be officially enacted.

I think you can say that about all politicians anywhere in the world.
The existence of the Obama-era protections this undoes is proof that not all politicians are beholden to big business. When that prior measure passed, the big money still overwhelmingly favored giving ISPs the ability to sell this information, but the public was protected nevertheless.

Nope, it wasn't all politicians. :)
Yes, they did receive payments for their votes. The Democrats received plenty of donations from the telecom industry, yet somehow managed to hang on to their morals. Hmm.
That's vague and unhelpful. Let's be specific. This was Republicans in Congress.

Brain tumours are characterized by the growth of extra or abnormal cells. Brain tumour can be both benign and malignant. While benign tumours are not dangerous, malignant tumours can be fatal. When cancerous cells start growing in any other parts of the body and start sending cells to the brain forming to form tumours, then these types of tumours are known as metastatic brain tumour.
The brain tumours may result at any age and the symptoms of the tumour are dependent on the type, size and location. There are several common symptoms of brain tumours and some of them include seizures, headaches, nausea, walking problems, changes in vision, speech and hearing, personality and mood changes.
If it is benign, then the most common brain tumour treatment is surgery, while in case of malignant tumours, the treatments usually consist of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. A brain tumour surgery may also be needed in case of malignant tumour which is in the initial stage. An examination of medical history, diagnostic tests and other reports are conducted to find out if a person is suffering from brain tumour.

Nissan and Renault flirt with marriage and divorce in attempt to revive alliance
Home/News/Business/Scotland needs an offshore energy revolution
Scotland needs an offshore energy revolution
The writer is leader of the Scottish Labour party
Scotland is on the cusp of an offshore energy revolution — despite both the Scottish National party and the Conservatives' best attempts to squander it.
Nowhere is this missed potential clearer than in the case of ScotWind. The seabed leasing project has already given companies the rights to develop up to 25 gigawatts of power off Scotland's coasts and to build some of the biggest floating wind farms in the world.
While these are welcome developments, they fail to make the most of Scotland's potential because the public has not been given a direct stake. Licences sold cheaply to foreign companies (themselves often state-owned) and weak procurement terms mean the SNP government has quite literally left money and jobs on the table.
We are in the ludicrous position where Vattenfall — a publicly owned company in Sweden — will profit more from wind farms off our coast than taxpayers in Scotland.
This is not the only example of a wasted opportunity. The SNP promised the country a national energy company — this has now been scrapped. A nationalist commitment to 130,000 green energy jobs that would turn Scotland into "the Saudi Arabia of renewables" has vanished like a mirage.
The failure to reform planning laws leaves shovel-ready renewable projects languishing, while the two governments in Holyrood and in Westminster wonder aloud about how to prepare for a just transition from fossil fuels, including in the North Sea. Geography has surrounded the nation with the means to generate green power, populated by people with ideas to make it happen. We need change to make sure Scottish businesses and consumers reap the benefits of energy production on our shores.
Keir Starmer has committed to the creation of Great British Energy — a new publicly owned generating company — in the first year of a Labour government. GB Energy would transform the UK, and Scotland within it, into an energy superpower. It will harness the power of Scotland's wind and waves (and yes, some sun) to create hundreds of thousands of jobs by 2030, cut energy bills and deliver energy security for our country. It would change lives and deliver on net zero targets.
Take ferries, for example. The SNP managed to turn the construction of two new ferries for Scotland's state-owned Scottish ferry operator from a little local difficulty into an international symbol of bungled procurement. Among the more bizarre decisions was the choice to make the two ferries, already five years overdue and millions of pounds over budget, run on liquid natural gas and diesel. LNG is the Betamax video of ferry fuels — the wrong answer that leads to a technological dead end and will not power the future.
On another western seaboard, in San Francisco Bay, a new fossil-free ferry, powered by hydrogen fuel cells, is being trialled. In Norway, always an important comparator for oil-rich Scotland, two hydrogen-fuelled ferries are planned for 2025 which will use 85 per cent green power. Closer to home, Caledonian Maritime Assets, the state-owned ferry provider, is involved in a project in Orkney to develop a small, inter-island ferry propelled by carbon-neutral hydrogen fuel. It is predicted that within a decade, most ship traffic will move using this form of fuel.
These trends suggest that we should use the wind power from around the coast of Scotland to produce clean fuel to power our ferries, container ships and much else besides. Hitting the UK's 10GW target for green hydrogen by 2030 would make the UK a world leader, providing clean storable power, decarbonising our industries and ensuring a secure supply.
For more than a decade, when it comes to capitalising on Scotland's energy resources, we have had ministers in both Edinburgh and London who have not made good on their promises. It's time to stop squandering our potential for generating green power and the high-skilled jobs that go with it.

MUSIC MATTERS: by Pete Chambers BEM: Greatest Rock and Roll band in the world finally coming back to Coventry

Pete Chambers
Editorial Correspondent 16th Mar, 2018 Updated: 19th Nov, 2018
Well I'm suitably excited that the greatest Rock and Roll band in the world are finally coming back to Coventry after a 47-year spell.
The Rolling Stones will take the stage at The Ricoh on June 2. They are one of the acts that I have always wanted to see play the Ricoh (others include Bob Dylan, Metallica and The Who).
Tickets went on sale today, and I guess have well sold out as you read this (just hope I got one). So to celebrate this amazing news, here is a round-up of Coventry and Warwickshire Rolling Stones trivia.
The Stones played two shows at the Nuneaton Co-op Ballroom on November 15, 1963.
In his book Stone Alone, Bill Wyman tells of the earlier performance for juniors. It was full of six to ten year olds, who were not interested in R & B and proceeded to throw their afternoon tea (cream cakes) at the Stones! Sticky Fingers or what!
Next night, they played The Matrix in Coventry. They also played two shows at Rugby's Granada Theatre on February 11, 1964 & March 13, 1965.
They played Coventry Theatre on January 19, 1964 (two shows), and in the same year April 17 at The Locarno, May 24 and The Coventry Theatre (two shows).
Finally, they played at the venue on March 6, 1971 (two shows). The first concert has being heavily bootlegged and includes Jumping Jack Flash, Midnight Rambler and Brown Sugar. They were supported by the wonderful Groundhogs.
Eleven Schoolboys at a Woodlands Comprehensive School were suspended by their headmaster Mr Donald Thompson in March 1964 for imitating The Rolling Stones' hairstyles. He called the style long and scruffy, he told them they could return if they cut their hair like the Beatles!
The Brian Jones Fan Club is based in Rugby. Former Swell Maps man Nikki Sudden had his mate, former Stone Mick Taylor, record some guitar overdubs for him at Woodbine Street Studios produced by John Rivers in Leamington on August 16, 2002, if you're interested the songs were 'House Of Cards' and 'Kitchen Blues'.
Mick Jagger recorded the promo video for his solo single 'Sweet Thing' at the Royal Pump Rooms Leamington on December 10 and 11, 1992.
MTV attended and interviewed Jagger, producer Julian Temple and saxophonist supreme Courtney Pine for a XPO feature of the single that aired on January 16, 1993.
Another Stones/Warwickshire connection was of course The Mighty Avengers whose recording manager was Andrew Loog Oldham, who was The Stones' manager. Author Charles Bukowski, once wrote a novel entitled Jaggernaut based on Michael Philip J. It was published by Beat Scene Press Coventry.
In 2007 on August 26, Coventry Trio The Enemy supported Mick and London's O2 Arena.
Shkayla
Joe O'Donnell and his band Shkayla will be playing their captivating brand of Celtic rock fusion at The Arches on St Patricks Day Saturday, March 17.
Joe recently made an exciting appearance at the superb Herbert based exhibition 'Irish Heart, Coventry Home', with a cut-down version of his band.
Even the cut-down version was mesmerising (and so were the brilliant young Irish dancers from the Danny Docherty School of Irish Dancing).

Byrdmaniax is the tenth album by the American rock band the Byrds. It was released in June 1971 on Columbia Records at a time of renewed commercial and critical success for the band, due to the positive reception that their two previous albums, Ballad of Easy Rider and (Untitled), had received.  The album was the second by the Byrds to feature the Roger McGuinn, Clarence White, Gene Parsons, and Skip Battin line-up of the band and was mostly recorded in early 1971, while the band were in the midst of an exhausting tour schedule.  As a result, the band had little time to hone their new songs before recording commenced and thus, much of the material on the album is underdeveloped.  Byrdmaniax was poorly received upon release, particularly in the United States, and did much to undermine the Byrds' new-found popularity.

The album peaked at number 46 on the Billboard Top LPs chart but failed to reach the UK Albums Chart.  The song "I Trust (Everything Is Gonna Work Out Alright)" was released as a preceding single on May 7, 1971 in the United Kingdom but it did not chart.  A second single taken from the album, "Glory, Glory", was released on August 20, 1971 and reached number 110 on the Billboard chart, but again, the single failed to reach the UK chart.  Byrdmaniax remains one of the Byrds' most poorly received album releases, largely due to the incongruous addition of strings, horns, and a gospel choir which were overdubbed onto the songs by producer Terry Melcher and arranger Paul Polena, reportedly without the band's consent.

Overview
After the release of the Byrds' (Untitled) album, the band continued to tour extensively throughout late 1970 and early 1971 in support of the record.  With the band's career experiencing a revival of commercial fortunes, the Byrds elected to continue working with Terry Melcher, who had produced the band's two previous albums.  Unfortunately, the grueling pace of the band's touring schedule meant that they were under-prepared for the recording of their next album, with little or no time to develop the material that they intended to include.  Sessions for Byrdmaniax commenced on October 6, 1970, just three weeks after the release of (Untitled), and continued throughout January and March 1971, with the band recording twelve new songs as well as revisiting an outtake from the (Untitled) sessions, "Kathleen's Song".  The album's pre-release working title was Expensive, a tongue-in-cheek reference to the bloated costs incurred during the recording of the album, but ultimately this was dropped in favor of the less opulent sounding Byrdmaniax.

Music
Among guitarist Roger McGuinn's songwriting contributions to the album was the modal acoustic ballad "Pale Blue" (co-written with drummer Gene Parsons).  The song's title can be seen as a metaphor for a mood, while its romantic lyrics deal with the conflicting themes of freedom and security.  With its melancholy sense of longing, folksy instrumentation, and sensitive lead vocal performance, "Pale Blue" is often regarded by critics as being one of the most successful musical statements on the album as well as something of a lost classic among the Byrds' oeuvre.  Another McGuinn-penned song included on Byrdmaniax was the commercially unsuccessful, quasi-gospel single "I Trust" (re-titled as "I Trust (Everything Is Gonna Work Out Alright)" for the single release).  The song's title and lyrical refrain was inspired by McGuinn's personal catchphrase, "I trust everything will turn out alright", which itself had been borrowed by the guitarist during the mid-1960s from the best-selling book The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale.

McGuinn's other compositional contributions to Byrdmaniax were two songs that he had written with lyricist Jacques Levy for the pair's aborted Broadway musical, Gene Tryp.  Of these, "Kathleen's Song" had originally been intended for a scene in which the song's eponymous heroine patiently waits for Gene Tryp, her lover, to return home from his travels.  "Kathleen's Song" had, in fact, been recorded in June 1970 during the recording sessions for (Untitled) but had been omitted from that album at the eleventh hour, due to a lack of space.  As a result, there are promo copies of (Untitled) known to exist that list the song (under the abbreviated title "Kathleen") on the album sleeve.  The Byrds returned to "Kathleen's Song" in January and March 1971, undertaking additional recording work in order to ready the track for release on Byrdmaniax.  The second Gene Tryp song included on the album was "I Wanna Grow Up to Be a Politician", a whimsical ragtime pastiche that had been written for a scene in the musical in which the hero, Gene Tryp, runs as a presidential candidate.  The song found a second lease of life away from the confines of Gene Tryp, however, when its satirical lyrics found favor with America's radical youth, who were rebelling against the Nixon administration during the early 1970s.

Byrdmaniax also included a pair of novelty songs penned by the band's bass player, Skip Battin, and his songwriting partner Kim Fowley.  The first of these, "Tunnel of Love", was an organ driven Fats Domino pastiche, while the second, "Citizen Kane", served as a wry comment on Hollywood life and its celebrity legacy during the 1940s and 1950s.  Unfortunately, the inclusion of these two songs, along with McGuinn and Levy's jaunty "I Wanna Grow Up to Be a Politician", caused the album to suffer from an overabundance of pastiche and whimsy.  A third Battin–Fowley song, "Absolute Happiness", was more serious, with its dramatic lyrics providing a Buddhism-inspired meditation on positive values and the power of nature.

The album's opening track, "Glory, Glory", was borrowed by drummer Gene Parsons from the repertoire of The Art Reynolds Singers, just as "Jesus Is Just Alright" on Ballad of Easy Rider had been.  Despite featuring a striking piano part and strong gospel backing vocals, the song lacked the immediacy of "Jesus Is Just Alright", as producer Terry Melcher admitted in a 1977 interview: "We were aiming to cut another 'Jesus Is Just Alright', but we didn't make it. Larry Knechtel played piano on this cut but it was too fast. The whole thing was a mess."  The album also included a bluegrass instrumental named "Green Apple Quick Step", written by Parsons and lead guitarist Clarence White, which featured guest musicians Eric White, Sr. (Clarence's father) on harmonica and Byron Berline on fiddle.  White also brought the Helen Carter song "My Destiny" to the recording sessions, having first learned it during his days as a bluegrass musician.  White elected to sing lead vocal on the track but unfortunately his nasal voice and the band's lackluster musical backing gave the recording a fatalistic and dirge-like quality.  The final track on Byrdmaniax was a rendition of "Jamaica Say You Will", written by the then unknown Jackson Browne and featuring a Clarence White vocal performance that is widely regarded as one of his best on a Byrds' album.

In addition to the eleven songs included on the original LP, at least two outtakes from the album sessions are known to exist: a recording of Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman"—which had also been attempted during the (Untitled) recording sessions—and a cover of ex-Byrd Gene Clark's "Think I'm Gonna Feel Better".  Both songs remained in the Columbia vaults for almost 29 years, before finally being released in 2000 as bonus tracks on the Columbia/Legacy reissue of Byrdmaniax.  The version of "Just Like a Woman" recorded for the album in 1971 represented the last Dylan song that the Byrds would record until "Paths of Victory", during the 1990 reunion sessions that were included on The Byrds box set.  A third outtake from the album sessions that is rumored to exist is the Parsons–White composition "Blue Grease".  This song was included in a pre-release track listing for the album that was published in the Byrds' fanclub newsletter, The Byrds Bulletin, in early 1971.  However, the track failed to appear on the album and may not have even been recorded by the band, since there is no mention of it in the Columbia files or in contemporary studio documentation.

Post-production
Following the completion of recording sessions for the album in early March 1971, the Byrds headed out on tour again, leaving Terry Melcher and engineer Chris Hinshaw to finish mixing the album.  In the Byrds' absence, Melcher and Hinshaw brought in arranger Paul Polena to assist with the overdubbing of strings, horns, and a gospel choir onto many of the songs, at a reported cost of $100,000 and allegedly without the band's consent.  When the band heard the extent of Melcher's additions they protested to Columbia Records, campaigning to have the album remixed and the orchestration removed but the record company held firm, citing budget restrictions, and the record was duly pressed up and released.

For his part, Melcher defended his actions by explaining that the band's performances in the studio were lackluster and that the orchestration was needed to cover up the album's musical shortcomings.  In a 1977 interview with the Byrds' biographer Johnny Rogan, Melcher attempted to illustrate the situation in the recording studio during the making of the album and also explain his rationale for the orchestral additions: "Several members of the group were involved in divorces and they were hiding from their wives. It was complete bedlam in the studio. Everyone had too many problems. There was a lack of interest on everybody's part. I was trying to save the album, but it was a mistake. I should have called a halt."  Melcher also succinctly highlighted his lack of confidence in the quality of the material that the band had recorded: "I think the orchestration was a big mistake, but the songs were weak."  As for not obtaining the band's consent for the overdubs, Melcher explained "I admit that I wasn't in consultation with them a lot and I didn't really deal with Clarence, Battin or Parsons on these matters. But I'm sure it was inconceivable that McGuinn did not know about the orchestration."

The band themselves were far from happy with the album and upon its release, were vocal in press interviews about their dissatisfaction.  Even two years later, Clarence White complained to journalist Pete Frame that "Terry Melcher put strings on while we were on the road, we came back and we didn't even recognize it as our own album."  Gene Parsons disowned the album completely, describing it as "Melcher's folly" and commenting in interviews that the band were all appalled by what they heard when they returned from touring.  McGuinn actually defended Melcher somewhat by indicating in an interview with the English journalist Keith Altham that the album had been taken away from the producer at the last minute and given to an engineer in San Francisco to remix.  However, the production credits on the original LP sleeve do not support McGuinn's claim and Melcher later stated that he had no recollection of the album being mixed by anyone other than himself.  In more recent years, McGuinn has conceded to journalist David Fricke that the album's shortcomings were not down to Melcher's over-production alone: "We were just idling artistically, the album sounds like we really weren't concentrating on doing good work, good art."

Release and reception

Byrdmaniax was released on June 23, 1971 in the United States (catalogue item KC 30640) and August 6, 1971 in the United Kingdom (catalogue item S 64389).  Although the album was issued in stereo commercially, there is some evidence to suggest that mono copies of the album (possibly radio station promos) were distributed in the UK.  As well as being issued in the standard stereo format, Byrdmaniax was also released in 1971 as a Quadraphonic LP in Japan on the CBS Sony label (catalogue item SOPL-34001).  The quadraphonic version of the album features a noticeably different mix to the standard stereo version.

The album peaked at number 46 on the Billboard Top LPs chart, during a chart stay of ten weeks, but failed to chart in the UK.  A single, "I Trust (Everything Is Gonna Work Out Alright)" b/w "(Is This) My Destiny", was released ahead of the album on May 7, 1971 in the UK, to coincide with a European tour, but it did not chart.  A second single taken from the album, "Glory, Glory" (b/w "Citizen Kane"), was released on August 20, 1971 and reached number 110 on the Billboard chart but again failed to chart in the UK.  The album cover artwork, featuring a set of silver "death masks"—one for each member of the band—was designed by Virginia Team and Grammy Award-winning Columbia Records' art director, John Berg.  These foreboding plaster facemasks, which were created by artist Mary Leonard and photographed by Don Jim, have been regarded by some critics as an accurate visual representation of the lifeless music on the album and the declining state of the band in 1971.

Upon its release, Byrdmaniax was greeted positively by the UK music press but received scathing reviews in the U.S.  Richard Meltzer's review in the August 1971 edition of Rolling Stone magazine was particularly vicious, with Meltzer describing the album as "increments of pus".  The same review also described the McGuinn–Levy composition "I Wanna Grow Up to Be a Politician" as a song that was "degenerating into namby pamby innocuous mickey mouse with latent-blatant political content".  Meltzer concluded his withering attack by deriding the Byrds themselves as "a boring dead group."  In the UK, Roy Hollingworth's review in the August 14, 1971 edition of Melody Maker was more positive and described the album as "one sweet length of bursting Byrds sunshine, so perfect in quality and quantity you'd feel an absolute heel to ask for more."  Record Mirror was also enthusiastic in its praise of the album, describing it as "another fine album by the Byrds."  However, not all British reviews of Byrdmaniax were positive, with Richard Green of the NME noting that "When the true history of rock comes to be written, the Byrds will get a deserved place of honour on the strength of tunes like 'Mr. Tambourine Man', 'Eight Miles High', and 'So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star'.  Hopefully the writer will not have listened to Byrdmaniax or he may drastically alter his opinion."  Green was also critical of Terry Melcher's use of strings and horns on many of the tracks, concluding that "Orchestration is all very well for some bands, but not, on this showing, for the Byrds."

Today, Byrdmaniax is generally regarded as the Byrds' weakest album, as well as the least popular of any of the band's releases amongst their fanbase.  Mark Deming, writing for the AllMusic website, has summed up the album by concluding "Not an awful album, but Byrdmaniax is hardly the pleasure it could have been in the hands of a more tasteful production team."  In his 2000 review for The Austin Chronicle, Raoul Hernandez gave the album a rating of three stars out of five, commenting "Byrdmaniax may be as disjointed as reviews claimed at the time, but most of these same critics didn't like Sweetheart of the Rodeo either, and if the Gram Parsons-blessed classic is ground zero for 'country rock' then Maniax is full-blown 'gospel rock'."  Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke remarked in 2000 that Byrdmaniax suffered not just from Melcher's inappropriate orchestration, but also from being a Byrds' album that is almost totally bereft of the Byrds' signature sound.  According to Fricke, the familiar chime of McGuinn's 12-string Rickenbacker guitar is lost beneath the overbearing strings and the band's trademark harmonies are also largely absent from the album.

Byrdmaniax was remastered at 20-bit resolution as part of the Columbia/Legacy Byrds series.  It was reissued in an expanded form on February 22, 2000 with three bonus tracks.  These bonus tracks included an outtake version of Gene Clark's "Think I'm Gonna Feel Better", sung by Clarence White (who had also played guitar on Clark's original 1967 solo recording of the song); a stripped-down alternate version of "Pale Blue"; and a rendition of Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman".  The remastered reissue also includes, as a hidden track, an alternate version of "Green Apple Quick Step", which is sometimes known by the alternate title "Byrdgrass".
Byrdmaniax was again reissued in Japan in the Blu-Spec High Definition audio format on February 14, 2014. Bonus tracks Include the Mono promotional single version of 'Glory, Glory', a live version of 'I Trust', the previously released bonus tracks of 'Think I'm Gonna Feel better' and 'Just Like A Woman', and a newly uncovered studio song 'Nothin' To it'. The disc comes in a cd-sized gatefold paper sleeve album replica (Mini LP) with obi strip and booklet insert of notes (mostly in Japanese).

Ultrasound cleaning is highly appreciated for impeccable and quick results; the method has been added to the armory of thousands of enterprises, since it allows eliminating the need in manual labor and cutting down operational expenses.
Modern technology makes high demands on the quality of surfaces cleaning. An insufficient cleaning adversely affects the reliability and durability of mechanical parts, accelerates wear off period, impairs the adhesion of protective and other functional coatings.
A range of classical methods, such as manual and mechanized brushing, chemical/electrochemical degreasing and rinsing doesn't necessarily provide a satisfactory result, and this is where ultrasonic cleaning stands out from the crowd.
Ultrasound enables the manufacturer to replace expensive and toxic explosive solvents with cheaper and safer alkaline solutions. In some cases, ultrasonic method can eliminate the pollution not amenable to removal by other methods (especially when it comes to complex and bulky objects, tiny parts, the objects with blind holes cleaning and etc.).
Today ultrasonic cleaning processes are used in a wide array of industries: in automobile production for cleaning parts, pipes, wires, removal of corrosion products, grease and grinding compounds elimination, after preservation cleaning, welding and etc.; flushing carburetors, injectors, individual components and entire blocks repairing. Ultrasonic sound has been implanted in manufacturing processes of printing industry for cleaning printing rollers. Thousands of instrumentation manufacturers have also assessed the powerful effect of ultrasonic cleaning, used for printed circuit boards, quartz plates and precision parts washing. And finally, ultrasonic cleaning is used in optics, medical, chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories.
The entire process is handled in ultrasound cleaning baths with electrical generators and inverters. The generator provides the required frequency, and the converter receiving an electrical signal from the generator emits ultrasound. Typically, there are two types of transducers used for ultrasonic cleaning – s piezoelectric and magnetostrictive ones. The bath contributes to forming myriads of bubbles (the process of cavitation) that helps to eliminate even extremely tiny 3rd party components from the surface of the object.
Ultrasound cleaning can really help your business grow – stop by Hilsonic website to know how an efficient method can increase productivity and performance of your company.

But same works fine from curl, so system doesn't have any problem, I tried some steps using export export SSL_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/cert.pem; export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/etc/ssl/cert.pem which didn't help. I also tried with new virtualenv still the problem exists.
This is macos and using python3.7
Appreciate any valuable suggestions to fix it. Otherwise I need to completely reinstall my system.

A North Carolina man has been arrested after he failed to return a movie he rented 14 years ago.
James Meyers said he was pulled over for driving his car with a defective taillight on Tuesday when the police officer told him there was a warrant out for his arrest.
In 2002, Mr Meyers rented the comedy Freddie Got Fingered from J&J's Video, which has since closed.
He had been charged with failure to return rental property, a misdemeanour.
"The officer said, 'I don't know how to tell you this but there's a warrant out for your arrest from 2002. ... I thought he was joking," Mr Meyers told WSOC, a local TV station.
"For the first time I got put in handcuffs."
He was booked at the police station and was given a court date, but the charge was later dismissed. He faced a fine of $200 (£140).
Freddie Got Fingered, about an out-of-work cartoonist who moves in with his parents, was criticised by critics and was considered a disappointment at the box office when it was released in 2001.
The story even caught the attention of the movie's star comedian Tom Green.
Green told the Australian TV show The Project that he would have gladly paid the fine for Mr Meyer.
"I think it's sort of an example of how bureaucracy can get out of control," Mr Green said.

Weyers acrofacial dysostosis
Weyers acrofacial dysostosis is a disorder that affects the development of the teeth, nails, and bones. Dental abnormalities can include small, peg-shaped teeth; fewer teeth than normal (hypodontia); and one front tooth instead of two (a single central incisor). Additionally, the lower jaw (mandible) may be abnormally shaped. People with Weyers acrofacial dysostosis have abnormally small or malformed fingernails and toenails. Most people with the condition are relatively short, and they may have extra fingers or toes (polydactyly).
The features of Weyers acrofacial dysostosis overlap with those of another, more severe condition called Ellis-van Creveld syndrome. In addition to tooth and nail abnormalities, people with Ellis-van Creveld syndrome have very short stature and are often born with heart defects. The two conditions are caused by mutations in the same genes.
Weyers acrofacial dysostosis appears to be a rare disorder. Only a few affected families have been identified worldwide.
Most cases of Weyers acrofacial dysostosis result from mutations in the EVC2 gene. A mutation in a similar gene, EVC, has been found in at least one person with the characteristic features of the disorder. Little is known about the function of the EVC and EVC2 genes, although they appear to play important roles in cell-to-cell signaling during development. In particular, the proteins produced from these genes are thought to help regulate the Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway. This pathway plays roles in cell growth, cell specialization, and the normal shaping (patterning) of many parts of the body.
The mutations that cause Weyers acrofacial dysostosis result in the production of an abnormal EVC or EVC2 protein. It is unclear how the abnormal proteins lead to the specific signs and symptoms of this condition. Studies suggest that they interfere with Sonic Hedgehog signaling in the developing embryo, disrupting the formation and growth of the teeth, nails, and bones.

EVC2
Weyers acrofacial dysostosis is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of the altered EVC or EVC2 gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. In most cases, an affected person inherits the altered gene from a parent who has the condition.
