We can learn a lot from crayons, they are all different colors but they live together in the same box.
sunday was the exhibit's last day in cleveland. the project is a touring exhibit and the stop in cleveland was midway through its tour. after cleveland the exhibit will be in cincinnati for a few months, then it will move on to philly, l.a., st.louis, new orleans, kalamazoo, boston, and finally ends in washington d.c. perhaps it will be installed as a feature at the smithsonian's natural history museum.
the idea that race is socially constructed may be a difficult concept for some to accept and understand. the exhibit does an excellent job at explaining what this idea means. the project has a website that sets out to do what the touring exhibit does. although the website is excellent, it lacks the interactive aspect of touring the exhibit in person. I don't recall ever attending a museum exhibition where I had talked and exchanged ideas with strangers as much as I did with this exhibit.
On a personal level, I find this interesting for two other reasons: I almost used the word 'Discrimination' as the title for my blogpost today. I meant it in the initial sense of the ability to make fine distinctions, then realized most people would relate to its racially-skewed connotation (be that a positive or a negative skewing).
The second reason: in one of the revisions I did on a story I've set in the States, I realized I'd totally omitted mentioning 'color' as a distinguishing feature between my characters. Had to go back and work it in, wherever it seemed relevant to the story line. Which, frankly, is not as often as most people might think.
Not coming to LA until next September (sigh) but will be right down the street at Exposition Park, so yay! Into my gmail calendar it goes!
Although we have a long way to go in learning about race, at least they are no longer teaching (as they were when my father was in school in the 1920's) that there is a natural hierarchy of intelligence among the various races with -- you guessed it -- Caucasians on top!
I think somethings up with the connection - i can't see your post picture!
I would love to see the exhibit, but alas Hooterville ranks even lower than Kalamazoo.
I'm in total awe that you can seat that many people for dinner!

'They Underestimate Me at Their Own Peril': Sanders Says GOP Will Regret Hoping for His Nomination in 2020
"There's a long history of the establishment and GOP underestimating Bernie Sanders," said Sanders speechwriter David Sirota

Bernie Sanders wants Republicans to believe he would be easy to beat in 2020.
Politico reported on Tuesday that Republicans in Congress watching Sanders are "practically cheering him on" in the Democratic presidential primary, arguing that a self-described democratic socialist cannot possibly defeat President Donald Trump in the general election.
"I would suggest they underestimate me at their own peril and I hope they do."
Sanders told Politico he is confident this view will backfire on the GOP come election time.
"I would suggest they underestimate me at their own peril and I hope they do," said the Vermont senator, who consistently leads Trump in hypothetical general election matchups.
In interviews with Politico, Republican Senate incumbents expressed confidence that a Sanders nomination would both ensure Trump's reelection and imperil the Democratic Party's narrow chances of taking back the Senate—or even add to the GOP's advantage in the chamber.
"If we can run a race against a person that's an out-of-the-closet socialist and promoting socialist ideas, it's a great contrast for us," said Sen. John Thune (R-N.D.).
Sen. Joni Ernst, who is up for reelection in 2020, said a Sanders nomination "would be good for us."
As Politico reported, Republicans' attitude toward Sanders is similar to Democrats' confidence that they would take the Senate and the presidency after Trump won the Republican nomination in 2016.
"Republicans could be making the same mistake Democrats made four years ago," Politico reported, "when Trump launched his presidential campaign and they began salivating over the prospect of a Senate sweep."
Ella Mahony, assistant editor at Jacobin magazine and a National Political Committee member at the Democratic Socialists of America, echoed that historical point on Twitter:
Lots of overpaid smartasses also thought it would be great for HRC if Trump was the Republican nominee. https://t.co/rDGnAFdmVB

David Sirota, Sanders' speechwriter, tweeted that there is "a long history of the establishment and GOP underestimating Bernie Sanders."
Theres a long history of the establishment & GOP underestimating @BernieSanders. Bernie unseated an incumbent to become mayor, unseated a GOP House incumbent & won a Senate seat that had been GOP for 140 yrs - and won it while being outspent in a state that often elects GOPers. pic.twitter.com/XqY0VtNU1n
— David Sirota (@davidsirota) May 7, 2019
Not every Republican is so certain Sanders would be easy to defeat in the general election.
"It is entirely possible that the American people would vote for an avowed socialist," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said in an interview with Politico. "We are a closely divided country. If Bernie were the nominee, he could win."
Sanders told Politico that, contrary to the view of many in the GOP, a bold and unapologetic progressive agenda will bolster the Democratic Party's chances of taking back the Senate and the presidency in 2020.
"If you have strong progressive candidates we'll do just fine," Sanders said.

What is the definition of New Lows?
This shows stocks that are trading at their lowest price over the last 52 weeks (12 months). Academic research suggests that stocks at or close to their 52 week lows tend to outperform.
The 52 week low lists are common hunting grounds for bargain and value investors. Behavioural finance has shown that investors tend to over-react on bad news, providing opportunities for investors with a greater tolerance for uncertainty. The 52 week low is a metric which was extensively used by famous value investor and bargain hunter, Walter Schloss.

Can Treasury Fix Its Foreclosure Rescue Program?
U.S. Treasury Officials plan to "revamp" its mortgage modification program in coming days, responding to intensifying criticism and a growing consensus that it is having a small impact on the ongoing foreclosure crisis.
The New York Times reported this week that Treasury officials have been in talks with mortgage servicers to expedite the $75 billion Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP. The program provides incentives to servicers who help struggling homeowners into mortgage reduction trials, and then place them into permanent relief with lower monthly payments.
But HAMP has been plagued by delays from excessive paperwork and borrowers falling out of the program. The strongest criticism of HAMP is the absence of any significant principal reduction as more homeowners are "underwater" on their mortgages, including a growing number of prime borrowers.
But the revamping will not likely include plans to help those "underwater" borrowers, the Times said, although officials are considering their options.
The Treasury has not called for lenders to write off loan balances out of concern such an action would jeopardize the health of banks, and further reduce the availability of already tight credit. According to the Treasury's latest December report on HAMP, the overall rate of those eligible homeowners who are getting assistance is 25 percent.
The latest criticism of the program was made public this week by the State Foreclosure Prevention Working Group, made up of 12 state attorneys general and three banking regulators. The group said the total number of struggling homeowners not on track for any foreclosure prevention assistance continues to grow. Only four out of ten desperate borrowers are involved in loss mitigation efforts, it said in its first status report on the foreclosure crisis in a year.
The group echoed criticism aimed at HAMP from economists and mortgage industry experts. Despite the growing number of loans that are "underwater" – where the homeowner owes more than the property is worth – less than 10 percent of loan modifications involve reducing the unpaid balance by more than 10 percent.
"Loss mitigation programs must be improved to prioritize principal reduction in areas of significant home price declines," the group recommended.
Why do so many articles seem to think that writing down mortgage balances costs the bank some prohibitive amount of money for the lender, when it's certainly less than the cost of foreclosure, which is the alternative.
We're still, as a nation, caught up in the politics of moral hazzard. Banks don't "grant" principal reductions, the market has granted the principal reduction. The only question to the lender is who to give it to… Either the new borrower, or the current occupant. Either way the bank has to write the loan down.

Consider the following statements:
1.	A tectonic plate is generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere
2.	Pangea was a result of converging of different continental masses that were parts of one or the other plates
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
a)	1 only
b)	2 only
c)	Both 1 and 2
d)	Neither 1 nor 2
Solution: c.
A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly-shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plates move horizontally over the asthenosphere as rigid units. The lithosphere includes the crust and top mantle with its thickness range varying between 5-100 km in oceanic parts and about 200 km in the continental areas. A plate may be referred to as the continental plate or oceanic plate depending on which of the two occupy a larger portion of the plate. Pacific plate is largely an oceanic plate whereas the Eurasian plate may be called a continental plate.
Alfred Wegener had thought of all the continents to have initially existed as a super continent in the form of Pangaea. However, later discoveries reveal that the continental masses, resting on the plates, have been wandering all through the geological period, and Pangaea was a result of converging of different continental masses that were parts of one or the other plates.
Plate tectonics states that Earth's outer shell, or lithosphere, consists of large rigid plates that move apart at oceanic ridges, come together at subduction zones, or slip past one another along fault lines.
During Earth's long history, there probably have been several Pangea-like supercontinents. The oldest of those supercontinents is called Rodinia and was formed some one billion years ago. Another Pangea-like supercontinent, Pannotia, was assembled 600 million years ago. Present-day plate motions are bringing the continents together once again. Africa has begun to collide with southern Europe, and the Australian Plate is now colliding with Southeast Asia. Within the next 250 million years, Africa and the Americas will merge with Eurasia to form a supercontinent that approaches Pangean proportions.

China's first foreign military base has come up at
a)	Djibouti
b)	Somalia
c)	Maldives
d)	Pakistan
Solution: a.
A mains-oriented question.
China says the support base at Djibouti will be used for peacekeeping and humanitarian aid in Africa and West Asia. The US, Japan and France also have military bases in Djibouti.
Djibouti, a tiny country at the Horn of Africa, is favoured for its location as it sits near a busy shipping route. It is also seen as a stable country in an otherwise volatile region.
Like in so many areas, China's strategic advances in the Horn have helped put Djibouti back on India's political radar. President Kovind will be India's first president or prime minister to visit Djibouti.
Beijing's infrastructure development in the Horn preceded the launch of the Belt and Road Initiative by President Xi Jinping. But it has acquired an unprecedented momentum in recent years. One of the more visible infrastructure projects in the region has been the 750 km-long rail link between landlocked Ethiopia and Djibouti.
China's geopolitical interest in the Horn has come into sharp focus over the last decade with the regular deployment of naval units to combat piracy in the Gulf of Aden. Although piracy has now come down significantly, China is raising its strategic profile in the region. Under an accord signed last year, Beijing has secured the rights to a base in Djibouti that can host up to 10,000 soldiers until 2026.

In discovering the molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm in living organisms – the internal biological clock, this year's Nobel laureates in Physiology/Medicine had studied a particular gene belonging to which one of the following organisms?
a)	Rats
b)	Fruit flies
c)	Mimosa plant (Touch-me-not)

According to the concept of the "Keynesian multiplier",
a)	Market forces help efficiently allocate resources, raising the productivity of an economy
b)	Greater savings rate translates into greater economic activity
c)	Any form of government spending increases employment and prosperity
d)	None of the above
The Keynesian multiplier showed that any government spending brought about cycles of spending that increased employment and prosperity regardless of the form of the spending. For example, a $100 million government project, whether to build a dam or dig and refill a giant hole, might pay $50 million in pure labor costs. The workers then take that $50 million and, minus the average saving rate, spend it at various businesses. These businesses now have more money to hire more people to make more products, leading to another round of spending. This idea was at the core of the growth of the welfare state.
Taken further, if people didn't save anything, the economy would be an unstoppable engine running at full employment. Keynesians wanted to counteract saving by taxing savings to force people to spend more. However, unless someone holds his or her savings entirely in cash – and true hoarding like this is rare – it's invested either by the individual or by the bank holding the capital.

28 January 2012 by Mr. M.
1a) Large motorbikes known as hogs are becoming popular in Vietnam. They have a very distinct sound and look. The engines are deep and throaty and they are slung low to the ground. The rider sits back and reaches up to the handle bars. Every time I hear one, I am on guard because I associate them with bikers. Bikers are usually members of criminal gangs. Very dangerous.
1b) I have a very similar reaction to groups of motorbikes. Anytime I see a large group of bikes, I think,"Gang," and am leery. It might not be right, but those are my associations. There are others.
2) When I go to the movie theater, I have to have pop corn. If we don't buy pop corn, then I'm restless and grumpy throughout the movie and a little peevish after it is over. So, we always get pop corn at the movies.
3) Oh wow! This just happened to me. I was in the hall closet picking up a bag off of a box. The bag rubbed along the box making a low throaty sound, and I had a startle response: I jumped a slight amount and felt some adrenaline enter my blood. I realized I had thought I heard a dog growling! A dog in the middle of my house! There isn't a dog for a 100 meters and several walls to me. Why else would I react as if a dog were there growling at me if not from classical conditioning?
You can see the association between a neutral stimulus and the unconditioned response in each. Can you name them?

Open your eyes to Haiti at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale
By Ben Crandell, SouthFlorida.com
The exhibit "From Within and Without: The History of Haitian Photography," opening Sunday, June 21, at the NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale, uses a remarkable collection of images as a lens to examine the island nation's rich, complex and often tragic history. But it begins with an unexpected wink.
In 1919, more than four years into a United States military occupation of Haiti that would last two decades, U.S. soldiers caught up to Charlemagne Péralte, a Haitian army officer who had been leading a resistance movement, and shot him dead.
The soldiers then strapped the body against a door and took a photograph of the lifeless Péralte. The picture was made into a handbill, which was then distributed around the country as a message to those who might take up his cause. But the image of Péralte slumped in an almost Christlike crucifixion pose had the opposite effect: Péralte became a martyr, the representation of his death an iconic inspiration for generations of Haitian artists to this day.

Washington has been consumed by a political guessing game over the mystery author's identity.
Donald Trump has lashed out at the anonymous senior official who wrote a New York Times article claiming to be part of a "resistance" working "from within" to thwart the US president's most dangerous impulses.
Washington was consumed by a guessing game as to the identity of the piece's author, and swift denials of involvement came from top administration officials including vice president Mike Pence, secretary of state Mike Pompeo and Dan Coats, the US director of national intelligence.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has called on the "coward" who wrote the piece to "do the right thing and resign".
Mr Trump has demanded that aides identify the leaker, according to two insiders.
Allies of the president and political insiders have scrambled to unmask the writer. But the article also brought to light questions that have been whispered in Washington for more than a year: Is Mr Trump truly in charge? And could a divided executive branch pose a danger to the country?
Former CIA director John Brennan, a fierce Trump critic, called the article "active insubordination … born out of loyalty to the country".
He told NBC: "This is not sustainable to have an executive branch where individuals are not following the orders of the chief executive.
The anonymous author wrote: "Many Trump appointees have vowed to do what we can to preserve our democratic institutions while thwarting Mr Trump's more misguided impulses until he is out of office.
"It may be cold comfort in this chaotic era, but Americans should know that there are adults in the room.
Mr Trump raged about the piece in the White House, calling confidants to vent about the disloyalty of the author and fuming that the so-called Deep State within the federal government had conspired against him, according to an insider.
– The writer is identified as an "administration official"; does that mean a person who works outside the White House?
– The references to Russia and the late senator John McCain – do they suggest someone working in national security?
– Does the writing style sound like someone who worked at a think tank?
– In a tweet, the Times used the pronoun "he" to refer to the writer; does that rule out all women?
The newspaper later said the tweet referring to "he" had been "drafted by someone who is not aware of the author's identity, including the gender, so the use of 'he' was an error".
For many in Mr Trump's orbit, it is stunning to realise just how many people could have been the author of the piece. Some of the most senior members of the Trump administration were forced to deny they were the author of the attack on their boss.
The author's use of the word "lodestar," which pops up frequently in speeches by Mr Pence, sparked much debate on social media. Could the anonymous figure be someone in Pence's orbit? Others argued that the word "lodestar" could have been included in order to lay a false trail.
He accused the media of trying to undermine the Trump administration, and said he found that "incredibly disturbing".
Mr Coats later issued his own denial; and with three prominent administration members delivering on-the-record denials, the focus could now fall on other senior aides to do the same, with questions raised about those who stay silent.
The anonymous author wrote in the Times that where Mr Trump has had successes, they have come "despite – not because of – the president's leadership style, which is impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective".
The 25th Amendment allows the vice president to take over if the commander-in-chief is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office".
It requires that the vice president and a majority of the cabinet back relieving the president.

HUBER's First STEP SCREEN® Reference in Peru - 2,760 m Above the Sea - Huber Technology Inc.
The City of Ayacucho is located in the south-central Andean region, about 600 km south-west of the capital Lima, and is the capital of the province of the same name. Its altitude is 2,760 m above the sea.
The existing wastewater treatment plant was started up in 1974 and provided with a manually raked bar screen, a grit trap, two Imhoff tanks and a pair of non-aerated lagoons. During 1999 the author, working for Consulting Engineers Salzgitter GmbH (CES), designed new trickling filters and maturation ponds. He also designed upgrading of the mechanical pre-treatment with automatically raked screens and new grit chambers. He specified three step screens with 6 mm spacing.
The responsible officer of the regulatory authority in Lima did not approve the design specifications of the step screen. He was convinced it would not work and argued that there was not a single self-cleaning screen in Peru. A step screen would not be able to automatically remove 2 m³/d screenings and the personnel would not be able to operate and maintain such screens properly. After long negotiations, finally two step screens and a screw conveyor as well as their installation and operator training were specified in the tender documents.
HUBER supplied, installed and started up two Step Screen®s SSF 4000 and a screw conveyor Ro 8t together with the control panel in February 2004 and trained the operators for 10 days. The system was officially commissioned in May 2004. In June HUBER replaced a defective PLC in the control panel as part of their warranty. Since our Step Screen®s have been operating for over 16,000 hours and remove an average of 3 m³/d of screenings.
After two and a half years the operators are very happy with our equipment and particularly our technical support. After this long and good operator experience with our first reference system in this country, the regulating officers in Lima are now even recommending step screens for mechanical pre-treatment. It took a long time to take this hurdle.

United Nations Security Council resolution 772, adopted unanimously on 17 August 1992, after recalling Resolution 765 (1992) concerning the Boipatong massacre in South Africa and a report from the Secretary-General, the Council authorised Boutros Boutros-Ghali to deploy observers to the country after concerns raised in the report, known as the United Nations Observer Mission in South Africa.

The Secretary-General's proposals included the deployment of observers to strengthen mechanisms established in the National Peace Accord. The observers would be stationed in agreed locations across South Africa. If necessary, the Observer Mission could be supplemented by appropriate international organisations such as the Organisation of African Unity, the Commonwealth and European Community. 50 observers were dispatched by September.

The Council requested the Secretary-General to report quarterly or more frequently on the implementation of the current resolution, and asked for the full co-operation of the Government of South Africa, parties and organisations.

Softube Console 1
Software Mixing Environment & Hardware Controller
Hardware > Controller, MIDI Controller
By Sam Inglis
Softube are out to make DAW mixing more like using a large-format console. Can Console 1 liberate us from mouse and keyboard?
Swedish plug-in developers Softube have made quite a name for themselves over the years with emulations of sought-after studio equipment and guitar amps. They've collaborated with other manufacturers such as Native Instruments and Universal Audio, but the new Console 1 is their first foray into hardware design.
The goal of the Console 1 package is to make mixing within digital audio workstation software more like mixing on a large-format analogue console. However, there are no banks of motorised faders here, and in fact, no control over DAW parameters at all. Instead, Console 1 gives you what is in effect a single channel from a very well-specified mixer, implemented in a hybrid software/hardware system. There are two elements to Console 1: a plug-in that includes all the signal processing found in a top-flight mixer channel strip, and a proprietary hardware controller that matches the layout of the plug-in and provides a dedicated knob for every function. As supplied, the Console 1 processing is based around a licensed emulation of the SSL 4000 E-series channel strip, but if you own other Softube plug-ins such as the Tube-Tech CL1B compressor emulation, these algorithms can be loaded into the relevant section of the channel in place of the SSL variant. Softube also have further complete channel strips in the works.
In the fullness of time, Console 1 will be a cross-platform product, but at present it only works on Apple computers, and I tested it on a mid-2013 MacBook Air running Pro Tools 11 and Studio One 2.6. The software element uses the new type of iLok authorisation that does not require a hardware key, and one Console 1 licence can authorise up to three computers. The hardware, meanwhile, attaches to your computer via USB, and is bus-powered with no option to use an external PSU.
In At The Deep End
I decided to hit the ground running by mixing a track using, as far as possible, no other tools apart from Console 1 and the host DAW (in this case, Pro Tools 11). By and large, this proved perfectly feasible, and you can read more about how it panned out in this month's Mix Rescue article.
What struck me straight away was how easy and intuitive the mixing process becomes, at least once you've got your instances of the Console 1 plug-in inserted and named (see box). A large part of this is down to the clever way in which Softube have managed the visual side of things. The usual plug-in interface within your DAW is employed only in the initial naming and numbering process, or when the Console 1 hardware is not attached. In this situation you can set the plug-in window to display controls that can be moved with the mouse in the conventional way, but for some reason Softube have chosen to make them absolutely minuscule, and I'd only want to interact with the plug-in this way in the direst of emergencies.
In normal use, by contrast, there's no opening and closing of plug-in windows taking place at all, and no problems whatsoever with visibility. Instead, whenever you press a button or turn a control on the Console 1 hardware, the channel strip settings for the appropriate channel appear as an overlay that takes up most of the screen. What you see on screen always corresponds exactly to what's under your hands, and you never find yourself inadvertently adjusting parameters on the wrong channel, or equalising where you thought you were compressing. Do nothing for a few seconds and, unless you've disabled Console 1's automatic mode, the overlay disappears again, putting you back in DAW-world.
It's amazing how quickly you adapt to working from the Console 1 hardware alone, using the buttons across the top to flit around between different instances on different channels. For long periods I found myself using the mouse and QWERTY keyboard only as transport controls, and the one-to-one correspondence between knobs and on-screen parameters means that after a little flying time you can operate the controls by feel alone.
Processing Progress
From a processing point of view, the SSL channel strip as implemented here is pretty comprehensive. Naturally, you will still need to use other plug-ins for generating effects such as reverberation and delay, but for shaping the sound of individual channels, Console 1 places everything you need under one roof. External side-chaining is possible, provided the host DAW supports it, and the order of the main sections can be reconfigured.
The layout of the Console 1 controller closely matches that of the channel-strip window. Compared with the analogue original, Softube have also extended the functionality of the channel strip in several small but very useful ways. For example, like the classic SSL design, Console 1 provides high- and low-pass filters (which can optionally be switched into the compressor side-chain path), plus a four-band EQ where the two mid bands are fully parametric and the high and low bands are switchable between shelving, bell and filter modes. However, the range over which the filters can be swept has been extended, so there's considerable crossover between the ranges of the high-pass filter and the low EQ band. This makes possible all sorts of creative and very useful compound EQ shapes, for instance by overlapping a low-frequency shelving boost with a high-pass filter.
The simple but effective one-knob Gate function, meanwhile, has been joined by a really good-sounding transient shaper. Again operating with a minimum of fuss, this presents you with two knobs that allow you to emphasise or reduce the amount of Punch (transient attack) and Sustain. It makes perfect sense to include this functionality in a channel strip, and I found myself using it quite often in situations where I wouldn't previously have thought to call up a dedicated transient shaping plug-in.
Touching a button or moving a control brings up the currently selected channel's editing window as an overlay.At the other end of the default signal chain, the compressor sports a wet/dry mix control for parallel processing, as well as fully variable time constants. It also has automatic make-up gain which can't be defeated; this is perhaps the one thing I'd change, given the choice.
Many of those who like mixing on SSL desks, and the E-series in particular, do so partly because of the sonic characteristics these consoles exhibit when driven hard. Console 1's Drive section represents an attempt to replicate this effect in the DAW environment, and once again, Softube have extended its versatility, principally through the Drive Character control. This is variable from -10 through to +10, and at zero, Softube say that the character of the added saturation precisely matches that of the original desk. Positive Drive Character values give the saturation an increasingly bright, sharp sound, with lots of harmonics filling out the upper mid-range. Negative values, by contrast, leave the upper mids well alone, providing a warmer, thicker effect which works beautifully for adding richness to harsh source material. All in all, the Drive section was one of my favourite Console 1 features, and I ended up using it on more than half the channels in my test mix.
Console 1 also takes full advantage of some digital concepts which would not be feasible in the analogue domain. You can copy and paste settings from one instance to another, for example, and best of all, the system keeps a lengthy undo history that allows you to roll back your mix to previous states. Most DAWs do not treat fader moves or plug-in parameter changes as undoable actions, so this is very welcome.
From the point of view of system resources, Console 1's individual processing sections are all bypassed by default, and consume CPU cycles only when activated. Even when they're all working hard, the CPU load is relatively light, and I had no problems using Console 1 across some 30 channels simultaneously.
Consoling Thoughts
Through years of mixing on computers, I've got used to particular ways of working; and while the experience of using Console 1 is never going to be quite like sitting in front of a Leviathan analogue console, it showed me the value of a different approach. As long as you're familiar with the basic operation of equalisers, compressors and so on, there's really no learning curve at all: you can simply jump right in and start carving shapes. As a tool for interacting with the channel strip, the Console 1 controller feels very right, and lets you get results much more quickly than you can with mouse and keyboard. The fact that it's emphatically not a DAW controller means that Softube have been able to integrate it very tightly with their software. You could think of it as adding to your setup the sort of assignable 'super channel' found on many digital mixing desks.
You can edit Console 1 plug-in parameters without the hardware controller attached, but it's not the ideal way of interacting!No doubt there will be those who complain that they'd rather have an open system that lets them work with any channel strip plug-in of their choice, but having tried Console 1, I'd say that's missing the point. The Console 1 system derives much of its benefit from the way it bypasses the host DAW's plug-in windowing and channel selection, and it would be no fun at all to have to use the hardware with a conventional channel strip plug-in.
The fact that Console 1 is not a DAW controller does have its negative aspects, though. The virtual mixers in many DAWs are, by default, configured so that the only constants are a fader and a pan-pot; if you want to apply processing that changes the sound of a source, such as equalisation or compression, you need to actively insert a plug-in and set it up yourself. This reflects the idea that the most fundamental part of mixing is balancing levels, and that processing is something you apply because it's needed, not just because it's there. A conventional DAW mix controller enhances this approach, bringing out into the physical domain faders and other controls used for balancing.
Mixing with Console 1 reverses the equation. The balance, as it were, is shifted away from balancing in favour of processing. There is an output level control, but it's a rotary encoder like all the others, not a fader. And while this control can be automated, it's not touch-sensitive, so writing level automation doesn't feel like a natural part of the Console 1 workflow. Engaging the dynamics section, by contrast, is all too easy, and it takes some self-discipline to avoid falling into a rather lazy and static approach to mixing where you rely too much on compression for level control. Ideally, in fact, I think Console 1 would be best paired with a conventional moving-fader controller, not least because the "this is not a DAW controller" philosophy means it doesn't have any transport controls of its own. (I don't own such a controller, but Softube say Console 1 works perfectly with all the moving-fader controllers they've tested.)
This brings me to the question of whether Console 1 represents value for money. And, as it has no direct rivals, it's not as though you can point to another product as an example of how much this ought to cost. On paper, £700-odd might seem a lot to ask for a nice channel strip plug-in and a hardware controller that, while solidly built, is not visibly festooned with pricey components such as colour touch-screen displays or motorised faders. What you can't learn from the bald specifications, though, is the way in which the whole is a lot more than the sum of both parts, and I think a lot of people won't realise what Console 1 can do for them until they try it. As you can probably tell, I greatly enjoyed my time with the system, and I will miss the review unit when it flies back to Sweden. If it had Windows support from the off, I'd be strongly tempted to buy it.
Nearly everything on the Console 1 hardware has a dedicated control, but the Shift button is employed for infrequently used functions such as loading alternative compressor or EQ algorithms. If you hold it down while adjusting other controls, it puts them into Fine Adjust mode for small parameter changes. Softube have gone to great pains to make clear that Console 1 is not a DAW controller but a mixer in its own right, and that's not a bad way of thinking about it. Whereas conventional hardware controllers help you to get more from your DAW's own mixer, working with Console 1 is more like using your DAW as a tape machine to feed an external console — a console that only has one set of channel controls, but sounds great and comes without maintenance headaches, massive footprint or mountainous electricity bills. And when you look at it from that point of view, it suddenly seems quite the bargain!
To use Console 1 as its makers intend, you have to insert the plug-in on every channel in your mix, and every instance needs to be appropriately named and numbered. Some DAWs can pass track names and numbers automatically to the plug-in, and in the latest version of Presonus's Studio One, Console 1's numbering system will even rejig itself to follow any changes to track order that you make in the arrange page. A forthcoming update to Cubase 7.5, which should be available by the time you read this, will implement the same functionality. Automatic naming and numbering is not currently supported in Pro Tools 11, but Softube told me that they are working with all the major developers to make this possible, and it's clearly a feature that would be desirable with many other plug-ins too.
In Pro Tools, when you click the option to name an instance of Console 1, the name field is cleared and a cursor appears, but you then need to click again before you can type there, which threw me on occasion. It takes a little while to set up, especially on a large mix, and until there is universal support for automatic track naming, a pop-up list of common track names would be a useful addition, especially if they could be selected using the Console 1 encoders.
The other option available on insertion is Solo Safe. Everything that you do in Console 1 relates only to parameters within the plug-in, even when those parameters duplicate features within your DAW; and that includes solo and mute. Since Console 1 is not privy to your DAW's mixer routing, it can't employ Cubase-style soloing, where soloing a group channel automatically solos all channels routed to it. Instead, the solo function works much as it does in Pro Tools or most hardware mixers, where you would typically set all auxiliary channels and groups to Solo Safe, then group and solo the source channels if you want to hear, say, all the drum tracks at once. Likewise, Console 1 has no way of knowing about any Mix Groups you might have set up in Pro Tools, or their equivalents in other DAWs, so it has its own independent facility for creating temporary groups, in case you should wish to solo multiple tracks or apply parameter changes across multiple channels simultaneously.
Very easy to use.
Sounds excellent.
Perfect correspondence between hardware and software.
Mixing with Console 1 is genuinely different from mixing with a mouse and keyboard, not to mention faster and more enjoyable.
Keeps an undo history of your mix.
You're still dependent on mouse, keyboard or other hardware for transport controls.
Tends to shift the focus of the mixing process away from balancing and towards processing.
When used without the controller, the Console 1 plug-in's on-screen controls are too small.
Naming every instance of a Console 1 plug-in in a mix is a tedious job if your DAW doesn't do it automatically.
Softube's Console 1 brings to your DAW not only the sound of a top-class mixer channel strip, but also its ergonomics. It has the potential to make more of a difference to your mixing process than you'd expect!

Giles Coren Moves To The Country: Part II
In which our man learns the ruinous cost of rural living, worries about his trousers and considers the majesty of hares
By Giles Coren | Photography: Chris Leah
We completed the purchase of The Cattle Barn on Halloween 2014, which was spooky, considering the mortal horror I felt at now owing the Halifax building society (crooks little finger to lower lip in the manner of Dr Evil out of Austin Powers)… one miiiiilllion pounds. Furthermore, at that sum, and at an affordable interest rate, the only kind of mortgage I could get was a capital repayment one (fucking bastard post-crisis banking laws designed to protect over-reaching losers), which meant a monthly direct debit of £4,500. On top of the £2,000 a month on my London house. After tax. Now, I don't know how much you think a freelance journalist and occasional presenter of factual entertainment formats on BBC2 gets paid. But it isn't enough for that. Or, at least, it isn't enough to have anything left afterwards for luxuries like food for your children.
But, fuck it, if rickets is good enough for the orphan toddlers of floodplain Bangladesh then it's good enough for my pampered little private school poodles. And if Kitty and Sam get hungry, they can always eat each other.
The thing is, it doesn't stop there. Normally, when you buy a house, it is because you have sold a house and so, on completion day, you just move all your shit out of the old place and into the new place. But if you're not leaving the old place then you have no shit to move into the new place. And by "shit" I mean beds, tables, chairs, televisions, computers, fridges, lamps, rugs, cushions, frying pans, spoons…
This shit is all available in shops, but at a price. And that price seems to be something like £50,000. Now, over five years of home building, that's OK. But in a week, from a starting balance of minus one million pounds, it's fucking terrifying.
We weren't going to do a load of basement digging, mini-cinema, pool and gym-type Arab stuff to the place. It was basically fine. But you've got to repaint, haven't you? Just bog-standard Dulux off-white, but two coats and a lot of walls: five grand.
And there's 4,000sq ft of carpets full of other people's jizz, sweat, skin cells, turd flecks etc, which you've really got to replace. Just biscuit-coloured plain stuff from Carpetright: five grand.
You need a climbing frame, sandpit and trampoline in order for the kids to have something to do: a grand.
You need a telly: a grand.
You need a king-size bed and one for guests and four children's beds. And you're 46 years old so you're not going to fucking Ikea: three grand.
You need guys in to connect up 'leccy, phone, satellite TV, broadband, Wi-Fi, burglar alarm, electric gates, fill the oil tank, service the Aga, boiler and heating: four grand.
There's council tax in the top bracket: three grand.
There's council tax for the dingy hovel bedroom over the garage, which, for some reason, is registered as a "cottage" and has its own rating: a grand.
You need pictures for the acres of wall space painted really cheap and ugly. Nothing nice. Just a load of hunting prints and crappy pressed flowers from local junk shops: five grand.
Rugs to cover the horrible carpet you've laid: five grand.
The gardener says you need a tractor "for topping the upper field", whatever the arse that means. So, you look into it and even secondhand tractors are like, 20 grand, so you go, "bollocks to that," and buy a Japanese ride-on mower instead: five grand.
And the gardener is happy with it, but says you'll still need a tractor eventually. But you just hope you'll be dead by then.
You bring the old wooden kitchen table up from London to save money but then have to replace the one in London with — says your wife — a fashionable, zinc-topped mid-century refectory bench: three grand.
You need chairs: a grand.
You get a pair of old sofas off your mum but have to take her and her boyfriend out for dinner to say thank you: three hundred.
You need pots, pans, plates, bowls, cups, cutlery, bed linen, towels — you're going shopping every damn fucking day with a list that says, "doormats, bucket, Hoover, string, toast rack, scales, trowel, fire guard, soap…": just fucking thousands.
And then you're poking about in the garage — or "cottage", as Gloucestershire County Council would have it — and your wife says, "We were going to get a 4x4, weren't we?" And you remember that she had her heart set on a rusty old Land Rover Defender with a vertical exhaust in army blue for tooling around the country lanes. That was how you sold her the idea of the house: she was going to get this sexy, old, soldier's car. So, you go down to the Land Rover garage in the village and there's a proper beaten-up, old, fucked one with 1991 plates that you can probably afford and you ask the guy and he says: "Ten grand".
And you laugh and go, "No, but seriously…"
And he says, "Seriously. Ten grand. You won't pick up a Defender for less than that. They've stopped production. It's a heritage car. A fashion piece. They don't come any cheaper than this. And this one hasn't got an engine. It's 15 for one that actually goes."
And 15 grand you really do not have. So, home you go. On the way, you stop for a loaf of bread at the baker in Stow-on-the-Wold.
"One pound twenty," says the lady. "Unless you're local."
"I am," you say. "I'm just the other side of Lower Swell."
"Oh well, in that case you get local discount," she says. "One pound eight."
And at last you have saved money. At this rate, in 14m years you'll be even.
It's our first night at The Cattle Barn. There's a storm blowing outside, rain falls hard on the roof, there is the crack of trees falling in the woods, a boom as lightning strikes not all that far away, and the occasional screech of terrified horses.
"This is what it's all about," I say to Esther. "Serious proximity to nature. Actual exposure to the elements. You don't feel the weather like this in London. This is properly Stone Age."
There is another thunderclap and my four-year-old daughter, Kitty, comes pelting down the corridor from her room, springs on the suitcase at the foot of the bed like a gymnast on the pommel horse and lands smack between us.
"I'm scared!" she says, and dives under the covers.
"Don't worry, darling," I say. "It's just, um, God being in a bad mood and smashing the place up a bit."
"I don't want to be smashed up by God!" she says and bursts into tears.
"Nice one," says Esther.
They're not like rabbits. Rabbits are shit. They were brought in by the Romans or the Normans or something, and just sit there nibbling on their own turds and looking at you, and then potter off when you move in for a close look. But hares. Jesus. You're walking across a bare stubble field on a bright autumn evening, minding your own business, admiring the vast skies and a lazy buzzard heading home to its family with that extraordinary speed and straightness of trajectory that marks it out among prey birds… Oh, it's an Amazon delivery drone… when suddenly, FLASH! A young hare, as big as a deer, leaps up from the bed it has made for itself in a dip in the field, its huge ears, its kangaroo-like legs, that shape silhouetted on horizons across this land since long before the first humans, and then ZOOOOM! It's off: 0–60mph in zero seconds in a flat sprint, not bobbing and weaving and hopping like a stupid rabbit, but straight, like a bullet from a gun, like a… like a hare, in fact, on the electric circuit at the dog races. It does three sides of a ten-acre field in what seems like seconds. Swift and contemptuous as Usain Bolt. Awesome. Just awesome.
Everyone in the country wears a flat cap and a wax jacket. That's just the rules. With trousers there's a bit of leeway, except nobody wears jeans, because they are difficult to walk in when wet (apparently). And then there is a certain sort of stout hiking shoe that I just wouldn't know where to start looking for (Lesbians R Us?).
Wellington boots seem to be OK but only if it's really, really muddy. It's no good putting them on to go shopping just because it looks like rain — people will literally shout, "poofter!" You may wear wellies only to traverse areas of such deep, slippery mud and mammal shit that the Defender you can't afford couldn't even go there. And they mustn't be cheap and plastic-y. But then, they mustn't be Hunters because that's what chavs wear to Glastonbury.
Luckily, what I have is Hunters where the brand name has been inked out with a Sharpie because they were costume for a BBC2 show I did and the compliance department didn't want the brand name to be visible in a close-up of my feet. So they're OK. They're not even slightly media-wanker-down-for-the-weekend.
I do have a wax jacket, a Barbour that was given to me by Barbour when I did a different TV show and they sort of hoped I would wear it on camera, but I didn't in the end because the soundman said it made a funny noise on the radio-mic. Initially, I left it in London because I didn't want people in the country to think I was taking the piss. But then I got soaking wet whenever I went for a walk because I didn't dare wear my pale blue anorak, either, in case people thought I was an elderly tourist on a walking holiday. So now I have it down here and will put it on when I pluck up the courage.
As with the business of not having any furniture when one moves into a second home, one also doesn't have any clothes. You can't go schlepping a suitcase backwards and forwards from London every weekend because that would defy the point of having a "second home". If you're going to do that, then you might as well go on holiday to a hotel every weekend. Which would actually be much cheaper. And nicer. But you don't want to think about that, so you divide your wardrobe in two.
And when I say "divide in two", I mean you dig out all the clothes that you have kept for sentimental reasons but never wear in London because they: (a) Are madly out of fashion; (b) Don't fit; (c) Were ugly in the first place; (d) Make you look fat; (e) Have moth holes in them; (f) Were free from when you worked at Ralph Lauren in the early Nineties and were a bad enough pastiche of English clothing then, but now look truly ridiculous.
And you put them all in cardboard boxes and send them to Gloucestershire, along with a dozen pairs of your not-best pants — all threadbare and browned in the gusset, with elastic showing at the frayed waistline — and you lay them all out in your new walk-in wardrobe (which the estate agent's prospectus had down as "Bedroom Four") and stand back and consider the job a mighty fine one.
And then you get invited to a Christmas party by the big local landowner and you go to your walk-in wardrobe and concoct a pretty damned excellent outfit for such an occasion: baggy yellow flannels, a pair of oxblood brogues from a charity shop, an old mauve school shirt, a novelty golfing tie, the waistcoat of a three-piece suit in Prince of Wales check from which you've lost the coat and trousers, and your father's old chocolate brown elephant cord jacket, labelled "Dandie of The King's Road, 1967".
And you go downstairs and there is your wife, wearing a black dress and boots and carrying a Marc Jacobs clutch, and chortling quietly to herself. And you think, "I don't know why you're chortling, you look completely wrong for the country."
It's raining, but you don't take your Barbour because, you say to your wife, you do not want to overdo the country look. And she nods her agreement while apparently unable to speak due to having to suppress something, possibly vomit.
At the party there are a lot of men who, despite being country people, seem to be wearing plain shirts and slacks. There is a roaring fire, it is hot. In your multi-layered squire's kit you set to schvitzing like a rapist. You swallow lots of cold Champagne very fast, to cool yourself. The room swims a little. You hear people muttering names like "Rupert" and "Toad" and think how quaint it is here. People ask if you're permanent or just a weekender and you realise the correct answer is "permanent", so that's what you say. Then they ask where in the countryside you were brought up, and you think you'd better lie but don't want to say a real county in case they know it and catch you out, so you make one up. You say, "Borsetshire!" And then remember that's a made-up place from The Archers.
So, you swivel round and a man says, "Coren, isn't it? I remember your father from The News Quiz. Never liked him. You a shooting man?"
"Not really," you say, honestly. But not wanting to offend, you add, "Although I'm keen to start…" But he's lost interest now, so when the next old boy says, "You a shooting man?", you reply, "Fuck, yes. Shoot everything to shit. Pheasants, ducks, pigs, cows, those ones that look a bit like horses with antlers on their heads…"
And then your wife is leading you to the car and on the way back you say, "I think that all went rather well, considering…"
But your wife is just fucking laughing like a mad, crazy bitch now, and when you get home you finally shout, "Whaaaaaat? What the fuck is it? What is so fucking funny?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, darling," she says. "I don't mean to laugh, but look at yourself."
And you turn and look in the hall mirror — £490 from a junk shop, when it would have been £40 from Ikea and actually have a visible reflection — and in the dim light (must get some wall lamps put in), you see yourself: the brogues, the yellow bags, the Prince of Wales "weskit", the tie, the big jacket, the weird parting you hadn't even remembered putting in your hair…
"You look like Toad of Toad Hall!"
"Eh?"
"I mean, what on Earth possessed you? You look like… no, not Toad of Toad Hall, like Rupert Bear. Like Rupert of Toad Hall. Like…" And she collapsed again into laughter.
"Really? But this is the countryside. I thought that…"
"It's the countryside, darling, but it's not Mars. People actually live here. They don't think of it as requiring fancy dress. Did you see? They were just wearing normal, modern clothes. Their eyes were on stalks when you walked in."
"Why didn't you say something?"
"Well, I was going to. But you came down looking so pleased with yourself I just didn't have the heart."
"I see," you say. "Well, I hope you die in your sleep tonight."
But she was so sick with laughing, it was all that she could do to squeeze out a "Poop! Poop!" And you go to your bed. And do not leave it until well into the New Year.
Next time: Giles has an overdose of chard, grows to hate horses even more, discovers that in the countryside gypsies are an actual thing and tries to keep a nature diary, but can't really be arsed.

Burma: Buddhist Monks Seek To Ban Schoolgirls From Wearing Headscarves
By Emperor on June 23, 2015 in Loon People, Loon Politics, Loon-at-large
Rescued Rohingya women from Myanmar register for an Indonesian police identification process at the confinement area in the fishing port of Kuala Langsa in Aceh province on May 18, 2015 where hundreds of migrants from Myanmar and Bangladesh are taking temporary shelter after they were rescued by Indonesian fishermen. Nearly 3,000 migrants have swum to shore or been rescued off Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand over the past week, around half of whom have arrived in Indonesia's western province of Aceh.

The horrific persecution of the Rohingya peoples of Burma is reaching a new and heightened level through the incitement of groups of Buddhist monks.
By Simon Lewis, The Guardian
An influential group of Buddhist monks in Burma is proposing to ban Muslim schoolgirls from wearing headscarves, in the latest sign of growing religious tension in the country.
The Organisation for the Protection of Race and Religion, a panel of monks known locally by the acronym Ma Ba Tha, said the headscarves were "not in line with school discipline".
Ma Ba Tha held a conference in Rangoon at the weekend. Some 1,300 monks from monasteries around the country gathered to discuss plans to promote a nationalist agenda as the country heads toward landmark elections later this year.
In a list of recommendations released late on Sunday, Ma Ba Tha told its members to lobby the government to put further restrictions on the country's beleaguered Muslims, and included references to the wearing of either headscarves or burqas.
"We will demand seriously for the government to ban Muslim students wearing the burqa in government schools and to ban the killing of innocent animals on their [Muslims'] Eid holiday," it said, referring to Muslim cultural practices that Buddhist nationalists believe go against the culture of Buddhist-majority Burma.
Explaining the move, Ma Ba Tha monk U Pamaukkha said: "When they [Muslims] live in Myanmar, they need to obey the law and regulations of the country. We are not targeting or attacking their religion."
The group also said it would "show the people the right track" when it came to the elections, expected in November, encouraging people to vote for candidates who "will not let our race and religion disappear".
The group would keep monitoring "crimes by non-Buddhists" and using Facebook to spread news about alleged threats to Buddhism in Burma, its statement said.
Ma Ba Tha was officially formed in June 2013, when bouts of inter-communal violence were spreading around the country, with Buddhist mobs targeting members of the Muslim minority. Riots have been triggered by social media posts reporting alleged rapes of Buddhist women by Muslims.

Just a tip from a pro: you don't put zeros in front of the years of the first millenium AD…
You post a summary of Islamic expansion. It gives the impression that Islam is a monolithic bloc, but it never was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Fitna
It seems in your post, that the Crusades were a reaction solely to Muslim expansion, that's the case for the First Crusade, but later on it gets more complicated. Let's look at some examples:
– the German Crusade (1096): Jews are massacred in cities along the Rhine river
– the Third Crusade (1189-1192): Saladin recaptures Jerusalem, Richard the Lionheart and others battle him, he earns amongst Christians the reputation of an embodiement of Chivalry, even Dante, a Medieval (!) author, gives him a place in Limbo (the best possible place for Non-Christians in his cosmology) in his Divine Comedy
– the Fourth Crusade (1202-1204) ends with the sacking of Constantinople, the center of Orthodox Christianity, a Occidental state, the Latin Empire is installed
– the Cathar Crusade 1209-1229): Cathars and Albigensians are slaughtered over South France
– the Baltic Crusades (13th century): the Baltic peoples are conquered by the German Military Order of the Teutonic Knights
The last time Monte Cassio was destroyed was 1944 in a battle between Axis and Allies, one participant, Walter M. Miller, was so affected by the destruction, he wrote a novel, A Canticle for Leibowitz, about a monastery in Post-Apocalyptic times, in which a renewed Church becomes a factor of mediation. I think that's a more productive way to cope with religious themes than to sow hate.

This easy and elegant starter is a delicious beginning to any meal – enjoy!
Heat grill pan; Rub baguette slices with whole garlic; drizzle about 1 T olive oil in pan, place bread in hot pan; drizzle with a little olive oil, sprinkle with a touch of kosher salt; turn to grill other side of bread – move to cooling rack to finish grilling the rest of the bread slices.
slather grilled bread with cream cheese; place a piece of salmon atop the cheese, place a thin slice of lemon or onion atop the salmon. Have fresh dill to sprinkle over. Crushed red pepper adds a little zip – but only put it on a portion of your grilled bread.

Q: SQL Server Browser Service on AWS RDS Is the SQL Server Browser Service supported on RDS? If so, how do I enable it?
Our app needs the SQL Server Browser Service running on UDP port 1434. The usual instructions do not apply since this is a managed SQL Server instance on AWS RDS. The AWS RDS docs do not seem to mention the Browser Service and I've looked at RDS Option and Parameter groups but nothing obvious stands out that would enable that.
Update: I should also mention that I've also added a security group that allows TCP 1433 and UDP 1434 from the app server. TCP port 1433 is reachable.

A: After contacting AWS support it turns out this is not possible:

This service is disabled on RDS instances to reduce resource usage and also exposure of instance information that can be obtained from it (security).
As RDS does not support multiple SQL Server instances running on the same machine (named instances), and only the database engine is available there is no need for having the SQL Server Browser running on it.


I received $272.27 in June from the following companies listed below. All dividends are reinvested.
I also made 12 stock purchases totaling $22181.55 (shown below) during the month including over $11,000 invested during the Brexit scare (Friday and then again on Monday). These purchases will add $804.08 to my yearly dividends.
While my dividend income is nowhere near my all time highs set a year ago, I am really pleased with the seeds that I planted this month. I think I picked up some pretty good companies with pretty good yields.
Unfortunately the very brief buying opportunity created by Brexit vanished as quickly as it appeared. I will continue to make monthly investments and if we have 1000 point drops I will go in a bit stronger.
Hopefully as the election approaches, we will get some more market turmoil and I can add to some of my recently created positions.
My target forward dividend goal at the beginning of the year was $3000 and that is still generally my goal for this year. If I overshoot it to $3500 or so, then no big deal.
Today I added some more shares to a few of my holdings.
Total capital invested is $3124.56. These purchases have a combined yield of 3.18% and will add $99.28 to my yearly dividends.
This brings my Microsoft share count up to 82 and my Well Fargo share count is now 135 shares. I love having these two 800 lb gorillas in my portfolio. It's hard to believe that Microsoft is now yielding 3%. If MSFT drops much more in price or MO appreciates a little more, you could have a situation where Altria has a lower yield than Microsoft.....Wow talk about bizarre.
Here are several purchases that I made today....mostly new positions.
Total capital invested is $8291.82. The combined yield on these purchases is 3.83% and will add $317.80 to my yearly dividends.
I love days like today. I wish I had grabbed some EMR and MSFT, Maybe we'll get some more great opportunities next week. Have a great weekend everyone.
Today I initiated a position in GILD.
Total capital invested is $2045.93 and will add $47 to my yearly dividends. This is the third drug company in my portfolio. I also own shares of PFE and ABT. Considering the ultra low payout ratio, this is a pretty solid starting yield.
I'll be adding more shares if they drop down into the $70s.
Forward dividends are now hovering around $2200.
Damn, I have got to start getting the spending back under control. It seems like there is always some kind of justifiable excuse for high spending each month recently. In May, the "excuses" were my birthday and my girlfriend's birthday.
Between the two, we spent over $2500! Enjoying four days on the ocean in a beach house was really awesome though! While I hate the expenses incurred, the experiences are definitely worth it. Hopefully I can continue to enjoy new experiences. I plan to visit Disney World for the first time ever in a few month and am really looking forward to it.
Anyway, I don't wan't to be in a wheel chair 35 years from now with $5,000,000 in the bank and no "experience deposits" to show for it. If it means working a few more years, so be it. I want a good balance of money and life experiences. It's a work in progress, but progress is being made!
As far as June goes, expenses are still a bit elevated, but income should be stronger as well.
Today I opened a position in DEO and KO.
Total capital invested is $3337.90. The combined yield is 3.22% and will add $112 to my yearly dividends. I wouldn't say KO is particularly cheap here, but it never hurts to add some shares each year. I started with a relatively small position and will add more on weakness.
I almost bought DEO around $100 a couple of days ago, but went with Wells instead. Both DEO and KO are fairly defensive in nature and should be reliable payers for years to come.
Total capital invested is $2355.40 and will add $76.00 to my yearly dividends.
This brings my total share count up to 100 shares. I will probably not add to this position for a while as I am currently trying to further diversify my portfolio.
Other companies on my radar right now include DEO, UL, AXP, BA, and BP. I will most likely buy DEO first as it is hovering around multi-year lows.
Today I added shares of GM to my portfolio.
Total capital invested is $3025.94 and this will add $152.00 to my yearly dividends. I have owned shares of GM on and off over the last two years around the $29-31 price range and viewed today's drop as a good re-entry point. I was also watching NKE and Shell. They had big drops early but rebounded as the day went on. One other industrial I would love to buy again is BA. I will be patiently waiting for a price below $120.
