Guru Dutt the master film maker gave some timeless classic like Kaagaz ke Phool, Pyaasa, Mr & Mrs 55, Aar Paar, Baaz, Jaal & Baazi. Pyaasa & Kaagaz Ke Phool being his best.
"Kaagaz Ke Phool" which released on 2nd Jan 1959, was a disaster at the box office then, but later it has been considered as a cult classics and Guru Dutt's best work.
Guru Dutt was inspired by the famous film maker of the 40's Gyan Mukherjee's life for the story of "Kaagaz Ke Phool". Guru Dutt was closely associated with Gyan Mukherjee and he closely saw the rise and fall of Gyan Mukherjee. The Story & Screenplay was written by Guru Dutt's close associate Abrar Alvi.
The principal cast of the movie comprised of Guru Dutt, Waheeda Rehman, Veena Sapru, Johnny Walker, Mehmood & Baby Naaz.
"Kaagaz Ke Phool" was the first cinemascope movie of India and its cinematography by V. K. Murthy is still considered to be masterpiece. For song sequence "Waqt ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam" , V. K. Murthy experimented various lighting patterns which still remains a technical masterpiece. V. K. Murthy won the Filmfare Award for Best Cinematography for "Kaagaz ke Phool".
The soulful music of "Kaagaz Ke Phool" was composed by S D Burman. The ever green songs of the movie still haunt us and are still alive in people's memory. Lyrics were by Kaifi Azmi. Two songs that became immensely popular and are still heard by music lovers, one being "Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam" sung by Geeta Dutt and second being "Dekhi Zamane Ki Yaari" sung by Mohammad Rafi. Both the songs were rich in poetry and the composition a masterpiece.
It is rumoured that Guru Dutt after the completion of "Kaagaz ke Phool" invited many film dignitaries for a trial show which was held at his garden in his bunglow, after the trial show film personalities like Bimal Roy, K Asif, Mehboob Khan refrained from commenting on the movie, so Guru Dutt re-shot the entire movie with some changes in the cast which resulted in escalation of the production cost. The cinemascope format also cost him a lot, hence when the movie flopped Guru Dutt faced financial issues and vouched never to direct any more movies. So "Kaagaz Ke Phool" remains Guru Dutt's last directed movie.
"Kaagaz ke Phool" set many standards in Indian cinema whether it was the cinematography or the script which was so intense or the performances. "Kaagaz ke Phool" scored high on every department. Today "Kaagaz ke Phool" is shown to film making student for the sheer brilliance that it was, but unfortunately the movie did NOT get its due when it released.
"Kaagaz ke Phool" is a must watch for every cinema lover around the world even today.
"Kaabil" as any other Sanjay Gupta movie is an inspired piece work, the movie takes cues from 1990 movie "Blind Fury" and the 2014 Korean movie "Broken", but still stands out as an original overall.
"Kaabil" tell us the story of a blind couple Rohan Bhatnagar (Hrithik Roshan) a dubbing artist and Supriya (Yami Gautam) who works for a NGO, they meet and decide to spend the rest of their lives in blissful matrimony, but destiny has other plans and their lives get shattered when the local corporator's brother Amit Shellar (Rohit Roy) plays havoc in their lives. Whether Rohan stands up against the bad guys even with his blindness is what the movie is all about..
"Kaabil" plot wise is your regular revenge drama wherein the main protagonist takes vengeance against the wrong doers, but where Vijay Kumar Mishra's story stands out, it is the blind angle. Beginning with the love story of the couple who are not ordinary, Vijay creates enough impact with his writing that you have a smile on your face when you see the love story of the blind couple. Small instances are incorporated to make the love story warm and heartfelt, connecting the audience with the two main characters, which creates the base. So when things start going wrong for the couple you as an audience start feeling the pain of being helpless like the couple, Vijay gets that bang on. Then the complete preparation and planning of the main protagonist to avenge the bad is meticulously shown with surprise elements thrown in for the requisite twists. Vijay Mishra takes care of not showing the protagonist Rohan as a super hero, but puts elements of vulnerability in the sequences. Vijay Kumar Mishra gets the premise, the plot and the entire screenplay right from the word go, but where the script falls short is its pace. At times the screenplay slacks a bit in pace especially due to the song sequences, too many songs just slackens the pace. Being a thriller the screenplay could have been a bit tighter and run time could have been reduced by 15 minutes. But overall the script works, ignoring the cinematic liberties taken and the pace..
Dialogues by Sanjay Masoom are modern yet impactful and it is not on your face. Though a revenge drama Sanjay refrains from the run of the mill "Maar Daloonga" dialogues and keeps it understated as much as possible.
It is the performances which elevates the movie, especially of Hrithik Roshan who plays Rohan the blind dubbing artist, Hrithik gets the character bang on from the first shot till the end. The mannerisms to the look everything is apt and Hrithik elevates the character with his brilliant portrayal. Yami Gautam as Supriya compliments Hrithik's act and the chemistry between both the actors makes the love story warm and appealing. Yami after "Mickey Virus" gets her due in "Kaabil" and she does not disappoint, definitely a feather in her cap. Ronit Roy as the corporator Madhavrao Shellar is just a delight to watch; with every performance Ronit is upping his game. Ronit gets the dialect to the mannerism bang on, and most of the time his eyes plays the terror brilliantly. In contrast Ronit's real life brother Rohit Roy who also plays the reel life brother Amit, somehow does a satisfactory job, not creating too much of an impact, rather his act looks forced and enacted instead of being natural, definitely not Rohit's best. Narendra Jha as the scheming Police Officer Chaubey does a brilliant job, his voice and his persona suits the role and his portrayal creates the requisite impact. Girish Kulkarni as the corrupt cop impresses with his irritating act, you hate him for his portrayal, which means he gets his act correct. Rest of the cast do not create too much of an impact..
Ayananka Bose and Sudeep Chatterjee's cinematography goes from colourful to gritty as the movie progresses as per the narration. Avik Ali's editing though manages well but could have been better..
Rajesh Roshan yet again proves that he cannot be ignored even in today's music scenario. What is impressive about Rajesh Roshan is that he has changed with time and "Kaabil" proves that. His soulful "Kaabil Hoon" and pulsating "Mon Amour" impress and stay with you. The re-created "Haseeno Ka Zamana" which is from his own track from "Yaarana", comes out as a completely different track with techno beats, definitely a party favourite. Kudos to Rajesh Roshan for his persistency in the ever changing music scenario, when most of his contemporaries have hung their boots, Rajesh Roshan still goes on.
At last Sanjay Gupta gets it right with his script. Technically there is no doubt that Sanjay is a brilliant director, it was the content which lacked the punch, but with "Kaabil" he proves his point that he can also get emotional quotient right. Definitely "Kaabil" sees Sanjay Gupta in a new avatar as a director.
Shahrukh Khan's "Raees" created a buzz the day the teaser was launched in 2015. Cut to 2017 when the movie released on 25th Jan'17, whether it really lived up to the excpectations???
"Raees" revisits the 80's genre of Hindi movies where the whole story revolved around the main protagonist and he is capable of doing anything and everything. Well the storyline of "Raees" follows the similar pattern, set in the 80's it tells the story of an underdog Raees Khan (Shahrukh Khan) a bootlegger in organized crime scene of illegal liquor trade in Gujarat, since he was a kid under Jairaj (Atul Kulkarni). "Raees" essentially shows the meteoric rise of Raees Khan in the crime scene and ultimately his fall which is inevitable.
"Raees" essentially does not offer anything new; it is blatantly inspired by the Amitabh Bachchan genre of movies like Deewar, Agneepath with a dash of Scarface. Written by a group of writers which includes the director Rahul Dholakia himself along with Ashish Vashi, Harit Mehta & Niraj Shukla, "Raees" falls prey to the movies that it is inspired from and does not rise above it. The plot and screenplay is extremely predictable and you can actually guess what will come next. The inconsistencies in the screenplay is on your face, for instance the visual impairment of Raees Khan, it is used on the convenience of the writers where ever it is needed, like he goes and kills the entire army of Jairaj without his glasses, or the moharram sequence when he is chasing his assassin without his glasses, whereas in the beginning in one of the fight sequence Raees cannot see without his glasses. Secondly whenever he is shown on a killing rampage he does it alone without any help, well a super hero I may say so. "Raees" starts off on a high note and somehow keeps the tempo till intermission, but in the second half the movie nose dives and it goes nowhere. The writers are not clear what to show of Raees, a ruthless and scheming criminal or a messiah of the poor, and that is where the movie looses the plot. The love story is extremely weak and you feel that the love angle is introduced only for song sequences. Even the camaraderie of Raees with his friends like Sadiq is not explored well. The only character which looks strong in front of Raees is of the police inspector Jhatak Majmudar (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), other characters look like sitting ducks, so in short the story lacks strong characters which would have eventually elevated the script. The lack of sensitivity in the writing is so obvious that you just do not sympathies with Raees Khan as a character. Overall a below average attempt as far as the script goes.
Dialogues is the high point of the movie, it is impactful yet realistic. Somewhere the weak writing is redeemed a bit with the dialogues, but if only dialogues can create an impact on a weak script. So the impactful dialogues fail to salvage the weak script.
Performance wise Shahrukh Khan as Raees Khan tries his best in enacting the character with complete earnestness, but somewhere the larger than life persona of Shahrukh Khan steals the authenticity of the character and you see SRK and NOT Raees Khan in the movie. Shahrukh tries to look like the character but his portrayal is SRK written throughout, which is something which in today's scenario is not acceptable. The last earnest attempt of Shahrukh wherein he played the character and was successful was "Chak De India". Shahrukh is an extremely good actor but somehow the movies that he is choosing off late is only portraying SRK the STAR and not SRK the ACTOR. Nawazuddin Siddiqui yet again proves his mettle with his portrayal of the policeman Jhatak Majmudar, he is spontaneous, witty and brilliant. Rather whenever Nawazuddin comes on screen you can feel the impact. He even overshadows Shahrukh in a few scenes. The debutant from Pakistan Mahira Khan as Aasiya does justice to whatever is given to her, but she fails to rise above the weak writing and hence fails to create any impact. Brilliant actors like Atul Kulkarni, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Raj Arun, Sheeba Chadha and Lovleen Mishra are wasted in weakly written character roles. But one actor who creates impact even in a small role is Narendra Jha as Musa Bhai, after Nawazuddin it is Narendra Jha whose character stays with you even after the movie gets over, definitely an actor to watch out for.
K U Mohanan's camera work strikes the right balance between the ruggedness of Gujarat and the colours of Gujarat. Production design by Anita Rajagopalan and Donal Reagen successfully creates the 80's look to perfection. Costume Design by Sheetal Sharma blends with the characters well and does not look too jarring or out of place.
Music wise "Raees" scores high with the romantic "Zaalima" by Aheer and "Udi Udi Jaaye" by Ram Sampath which has a garbha feel to the song. The re-created "Laila mein Laila" is foot tapping and has enough beats to make you dance. Rest of the tracks fails to impress.
Rahul Dholakia who impressed us with his sensitive "Parzania" and "Lamha", takes a detour with "Raees" and tries to attempt a mainstream commercial movie, but fails to balance between the arty and the commercial sensibilities. Rahul looks confused as to where to draw the line in being arty and being commercial, and in the bargain the movie gets affected. Surprisingly the sensitivity which Rahul showed us in previous two movies is completely missing in "Raees", and hence it fails miserably in the emotional quotient. Rahul please give us another "Parzania", we still have faith in you as a director.
"Raees" fails to live up to sky high expectations and delivers an ordinary fare… I will go with Two & a Half Stars..
Yash Chopra has an extra ordinary body of work, but "Deewar" will always be the shining gem in his career as a filmmaker.
"Deewar" is and always be an iconic movie for Indian movies, whether it is the script, the dialogues, the ensemble star cast, the performances or the direction, "Deewar" scored in all the departments.
But what made the movie the huge success, is its strong writing by the duo writer Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar , popularly known as Salim-Javed. The story & screenplay mirrored the sentiments of the masses then who were disappointed due to the unfulfilled promises which were made after independence and the corruption which was brewing, and that struck the right chord with the masses. The story was of two brothers Vijay (Amitabh Bachchan) and Ravi (Shashi Kapoor), one brother Vijay chooses the wrong path to earn his living and becomes a smuggler, on the other hand the younger brother Ravi chooses the path of righteousness and joins the police force. The tussle between ideologies of the two brothers and their mother becomes the crux of the story.
The impactful dialogues were like the cherry on the cake, some of the dialogues are still so famous like the iconic "Mere Pass Ma Hain" or the climax temple scene "Khush To Bahut Hoge Tum". Each character was written with precision and made an impact on the audience. It is believed that Vijay's role was loosely based on then Don Haji Mastaan who was also a coolie in the docks initially..
The casting of the movie went through a lot of changes, the original cast comprised of Rajesh Khanna playing the role of Vijay and Navin Nishchol playing the role of Ravi and Vijayantimala was cast in the mother's role, but writers Salim-Javed insisted on Amitabh Bachchan being cast as Vijay as they had some problems with Rajesh Khanna in the past, so Amitabh Bachchan was signed up for the role of Vijay, due to which both Navin Nishchol and Vijayantimala refused to be part of the movie so subsequently Shashi Kapoor was signed to play Ravi and Nirupa Roy was signed to play the mother's role. It is said that Yash Chopra almost finalized Waheeda Rehman to play the mother's role after Vijayantimala exited, as he wanted a strong actor to play the role as it was a crucial character of the movie, but since Yash Chopra was simultaneously making "Kabhie Kabhie" wherein Waheeda Rehman was playing Amitabh Bachchan's wife, so he thought that the casting Waheeda as Amitabh's mother would be detrimental for "Kabhie Kabhie", hence he dropped the idea and finally Nirupa Roy did the iconic role and she is still remembered for this role and later Nirupa Roy played Amitabh Bachchan's mother in multiple movies.
Music was one of the strong points of any Yash Chopra movie but the plot did not have too much scope for songs, still two romantic songs were included which were shot on Shashi Kapoor and Neetu Singh were included, they were "Maine Tujhe Manga Tujhe Paya Hai" and "Keh Doon Tumhe", both became popular, but the producer still though that song wise the movie lacked the punch, hence though shooting was over, a mujra song "Koi Mar Jaaye" was added and shot on Aruna Irani. The music was rendered by R D Burman.
The iconic look of Amitabh Bachchan of a knotted shirt was a result of an error by the tailor who made Amitabh's shirt too long, and in order to camouflage the error it was knotted, which became a rage.
"Deewar" was released on 24th Jan 1975, and was a super hit, and ran for 100 weeks earning 1 crore from each territory and making it the 4th Highest grosser Bollywood movie of 1975..
It earned the highest no. of Filmfare awards for the year beating the iconic movie "Sholay". It received 7 Filmfare Awards which was record and was broken by "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" winning 10 awards in 1995..
"Deewar" remains in the heart of cine lovers till today, and will remain so till eternity….
After the critically acclaimed "Haider" in 2014, Vishal Bharadwaj and Shahid Kapoor team up again for "Rangoon". Shahid Kapoor fetched his first Filmfare Award as an Actor for "Haider".. Vishal Bharadwaj also teams up again with Saif Ali Khan after "Omkara" in 2006, for "Omkara" Saif Ali Khan's portrayal of Langda Tyagi bought him acclaim including a Fimfare for Best Actor in a Negative Role.
Majorly shot in the scenic locations of Arunachal Pradesh the movie promises to be a visual treat. The cinematography is by Pankaj Kumar.
The movie is a joint collaboration between VB Pictures, Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
The movie releases on 24th February 2017…till then enjoy the highly impressive Official Trailer hoping the movie would be as interesting as the Trailer.

Q: creating an ios and Android app I am looking into creating an IOS/Android app although I am not sure how I should go about doing it.
 if its better to make them in 2 separate environments( meaning Android Studio for one and Visual Studio for another).
Or I looked online and found Xamirin for studio which says you can make one app compatiable for both devices. I also heard from a select few that Xamirin has issues.
What would be the better route and is there a program I could use to do both?

A: It depends on the nature of the app and your coding skills. If the app requires 'pixel-perfect' UI, has a lot of customization and complex design then you should go for native development. The best starting points for native development are Apple and Android official documentation and training guides.
If your app is relatively simpler especially in term of UI then you can consider cross-platform development. In cross-platform development, you usually have a single code base and you can generate apps both for Android and iOS. NativeScript, React Native and Xamarin are good cross-platform development options.

A: Pick one and focus on it.  Don't try doing more than you can handle.  I suggest ios because you will probably make more money. If the app takes off then start worrying about making a Android version.

A: I would recommend Ionic 2 http://ionic.io/2 or React Native https://facebook.github.io/react-native/

A: There are various cross-platform development tools: Xamarin, Ionic, React Native, Appcelerator, etc.
I've worked with cross-platform tools in the past. They tend to be cumbersome and put you at a remove from the native OS. I'm not a fan, but now we're straying into the realm of opinions.

Pioneer launches VSX-531D AV amplifier with DAB radio
By Joe Svetlik 2017-02-02T00:00:17Z
The budget AV amp gets a modest upgrade in the form of DAB/DAB+ radio.
Pioneer has launched the VSX-531D amplifier, which is basically the VSX-531 with the addition of DAB radio. The entry-level amp supports both DAB and DAB+ standards, so should be futureproofed.
Other than that, it's pretty much identical to its predecessor. But considering the original amp earned four out of five stars in our review, that's no bad thing.
It supports Ultra HD, HDR, and HDCP 2.2 video pass-through for all your entertainment needs. Bluetooth also comes as standard, for wireless streaming from a phone or tablet.

What is the best attire for a business conference or a friend's wedding or grand dinner party? The answer to all these is a great suit. While we are very comfortable getting into a pair of jeans and travelling the globe, there are some special occasions where you can mark your presence only with a great suit. But did you know that if you were to attend an event a hundred years ago, your suit would be very very different! Yes, in the 1920's black tie was a deviation and people wore coats that had exaggerated silhouettes. Also, rationing of cloth material during the Second World War, forced people to accept straight cuts in their suits. There are lots of variations in suits that Charlie Chaplin wore and what Barney Stinson compels you to wear and if you want to know more about them, then you must see the infographic that Design Taxi has made about the evolution of the suit.

EconomyFinancialIs Oxxo Telcel territory? The sale of its chips...
Is Oxxo Telcel territory? The sale of its chips predominates in these stores
Oxxo has become a service hub. In the more than 17,400 stores of the brand in the country, it is possible to pay for services, withdraw or deposit money, make mobile top-ups or acquire SIM cards… from Telcel.
In a tour carried out by Expansión in various Oxxo convenience stores, the workers assured that they can only sell SIM cards from Telcel and Oxxo CEL, the company's Virtual Mobile Operator.
In December of last year, the Federal Institute of Telecommunications (IFT) reported that since August 2 of last year it began an investigation for an alleged monopolistic practice in the market for the distribution and commercialization of subscriber identification modules (SIM cards) in convenience store chains,
Expansión requested information from Telcel about the investigation carried out by the IFT on this alleged antitrust practice, but declined to comment on the matter.
Although the document from the telecommunications regulator does not indicate the economic group investigated, one of the largest chains of convenience branches that sells chips is Oxxo. Expansión contacted the company to request information on whether there is an exclusivity contract between Oxxo and Telcel for the single sale of SIMs from Carlos Slim's company in its convenience stores, to which Oxxo replied that "it has not had and does not have any contract of exclusivity with Telcel".
Jorge Moreno Loza, a telecommunications lawyer and head of the Expanzione office, explains that favoring the distribution of Telcel chips is a concern because "it affects competition and the possibility of growth of other networks."
As of the second quarter of this year, there were some 110 million prepaid lines (which work with credit recharges), and of that universe, Telcel operates around 67 million, that is, 61% of the total, according to data from The Ciu consultancy. .
Loza specifies that if the IFT investigation determines that the monopolistic practice exists, the sanctions would range from an economic sanction, a reprimand or could even be more specific penalties such as the revocation of the concession.
The specialist said that consumers can make a complaint in Profeco and in the IFT User platform. "Profeco could initiate a collective action against Telcel for this type of practice" warns the specialist.

As to the study of the truth, or its investigation, it must be with intent to obey, and not to speculate. "If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine" (John 7: 17). The disciple's place, and the Master's, belong to every student of the truth. Moreover, if success is to crown the study, truth must be sought for its own sake, or rather for its Author's. If the secret bent and purpose is to feed the imagination, or to gratify the lust of knowing, then know this, that thou shalt be "ever learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth" (2 Tin 3:7).
On the other hand, "if thou criest after knowledge (understanding thy lack of it), and liftest up thy voice for understanding (in earnest to possess it), if thou seekest her as silver (with an estimation of it value), and searchest for her as for hid treasures (willing to dig the field over rather than fail in your search), then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God." When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul, discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee" (Pro 2:3-5, 10, 11). It is the heart's estimation of the truth that quickens diligence in pursuit; and it is this also, and not the mind's dry activity, that determines the rate and measure of advancement in it.
As to the communication of the truth, when it is drawn directly from the divine Word, or, it may be, learned from others, and verified by the Word (for all are not alike successful diggers in the mine, though all should alike possess a value for the ore), it is definite and determinate. When the teaching ceases to be definite, it ceases to be effective. Teaching that swerves from this may not cease to be exciting or attractive, but it ceases to edify. "He that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord" (Jer 23:28).
Confidence is the truth, or faith, is content to let God work, and to open His own doors for its reception! But there is a bustling activity that is ever thrusting itself forward—a running where there are no tidings prepared; which, though it may put on the guise of zeal for the truth, is in the issue not better than sowing on unploughed land. There is divine wisdom in the exhortation of the Lord to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, when He says, "Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among the thorns" (Jer 4:3).
Especially let those who are teachers of the truth beware, for the stream will not rise higher than the level of the spring; and there is always (more or less definite) correspondence between the character and condition of the teacher and the taught. People that are caught by the imagination, the sentimental, the shallow and the wordy, as well as those captivated by the comprehensive and earnest, will infallibly bear its stamp.
What, then profits in writing, or in oral teaching? The definiteness of the truth; truth, doubtless applied by the Spirit to the conscience and heart-still! That there may be an effect where this is absent, I do not deny. But what is it? The effect of making people think, if they think at all, that Scripture is as vague and pointless as any exposition of its declarations. Where its definiteness is not presented and grasped, uncertainty and unpreparedness for action are the necessary result. Easy going orthodox profession may be satisfied with vagueness and generality, nay, with vapidness and insipidity; but if the truth of the Word is to detach souls from themselves and the world, to bring into peace and liberty, and to direct to the just hope of a Christian, it must be definite!
"We are not only pardoned, but justified—made righteous; and this is not merely by that which He has done, or by what He has procured or bestows—but in what He is. 'As He is, so are we in this world' (1 John 4:17). The believer must never lose sight of this fundamental truth: that the basis of his fellowship with the Father is not his own personal holiness, or what the Lord Jesus is in him, but his judicial position before the Father, or what the Lord Jesus is for him. He, 'the Lord our righteousness,' is the foundation and source of everything—of walk as well as of position." -E.H.
Providing you haven't moved on and with regard to T2O commentary and that "truth", oh'-Bible Chatarian, looking back at your involvement, is the thought of being mutual (elsewhere) an impediment to your presence if you were to simply determine yourself with multiple installations of love? That would be the surest form of confirmation to eloquence and so much more that would be beneficial.
The Word is not a book, it is a living being.
Jesus is the Word, and he is also the Head of his Body, the Church.
Ergo, Truth is learned from the Church, assuming it is THE Church and not some splinter sect.
Should I be at ease? Formal remarks won't alter my contentedness to the gospel. Have we forgotten? Flesh and blood are far too impressionable to conclude without encompassing God's sanctifying will shining out from the word. If we conclude on a portion of the text that contends with another we walk in darkness and risk error. And we know why, the resistance to ensure the barrier that protects us from this is misplaced. Instead of availing extensiveness from the text, something else festers causing infatuation against associated cross-referencing. Ohhh be careful how you wield that fruit.
If V-16 remains a mystery to my friends, then I am incapacitated more.

Prevention and treatment of viral hepatitis B and C in prisoners
There is a very large burden of disease due to viral hepatitis C and B amongst prisoners in Australia and worldwide. These infections cause progressive liver disease culminating in cirrhosis, liver failure and cancer. Very few correctional systems provide adequate health care for inmates, as prisons are unique physical and organisational structures, and prisoners form a distinct micro-society with their own rules and regulations. The challenge being faced in this project is to understand the prison environment in terms of viral hepatitis transmissions, as well as to develop efficient and effective prevention and treatment strategies.
The Viral Immunology Systems Program leads clinical research studies in the prison environment, including prospective cohort studies (HITS-p and SHARP), as well as clinical trials such as SToP-C, and health service evaluation studies such as PACT. These studies are conducted in partnership with the Justice Health & Forensic Mental Health Network and Corrective Services, and are based in field sites across more than 30 individual prisons in NSW. The studies aim to understand risk factors and transmission rates for hepatitis B and C, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of existing prevention strategies as well as the potential for antiviral treatment to reduce hepatitis C incidence.
The studies include prospective cohorts in which incarcerated subjects are enrolled in longitudinal follow-up to record risk behaviours and uptake of prevention strategies as well as regular testing for acquisition of hepatitis B or C infections. In the treatment-as-prevention study SToP-C, regular surveillance for hepatitis C infection is being followed by rapid scale up of high effective antiviral therapies to measure the impact of treating all infected individuals on the rate of ongoing transmissions. In the PACT study, the successful nurse-led model of assessment and treatment for hepatitis C is being expanded to correctional centres nationally.
These prison-based research projects have already had major impacts both on policy and clinical practice in health service delivery in the NSW prisons, and has been internationally recognized as trend-setting research. The outcomes of the ongoing studies will continue to inform correctional health systems in relation to hepatitis B and C prevention and treatment.
The impact:
The primary intent of a period of imprisonment is punishment by deprivation of liberty. Additional punishments such as physical or psychological harms should be considered acceptable. The outcomes of these projects first seek to understand and prevent these secondary harms, and also take the opportunity of improving the health of prisoners whilst incarcerated by treatment of hepatitis B and C infections.

Writers' Roundtable: What to expect for Tony Parker's return to San Antonio
Sports // Spurs

Mike Finger, Jeff McDonald, Nick Moyle and Nick Talbot weigh in on the state of the Spurs.
The Spurs-Thunder was billed by some as the best NBA game of the season? What stood out to you the most?
Finger: As odd as it sounds in reference to a night win which LaMarcus Aldridge dominated and scored more points than any Spur ever has at home, this in many ways was The Derrick White Game. The second-year guard was all over the place, even spilling some blood along the way, and he showed why many believe he can become the franchise's next great scouting-and-development success story.
McDonald: It's probably too cute by half to say anything other than Aldridge going absolutely incendiary for 56 points. If you want a candidate for No. 2 on the list, I'd say White once again showing out on both ends of the floor. The second-year guard just seems to have a knack for big moments, isn't fazed by the big stage, has an innate feel for the game and has emerged as perhaps the team's top perimeter defender. When you're listing reasons why the Spurs seemed to have turned themselves around over the past month and a half, White's play is somewhere near the top.
Moyle: That was about as much fun as a regular-season game in early January could be. What stuck with me the most was the constant one-upmanship. The play-making on both sides was incredible. And Aldridge taking over was a sight to behold. I wouldn't mind seeing seven games of this in the postseason.
Talbot: The sheer volume of career games against two defenses that had been playing well. Aldridge dropped 56, yes, but Russell Westbrook also dished 24 assists in a triple-double effort, Jerami Grant had a career-high 25 points for the Thunder and, more importantly, I felt White had the best game of his career. He picked up a huge block late and also hit a key three that gave the Spurs a 129-126 lead in regulation. His maturation is a big reason why the Spurs are not only in the hunt for a playoff sport but could even find a way to get home court in the first round.
Aldridge put up 56 points against the Thunder. How would you rate that performance compared to some of the best in Spurs history?
Finger: In an organization with five championships, it's difficult to enter the annals of all-time memorable performances in January. The ones people remember around here happen in May and June. But in terms of regular-season excellence, Aldridge's effort against the Thunder is tough to top, and ranks right up there with the most prolific outbursts from George Gervin, David Robinson, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili.
McDonald: Hard to compare, especially when I wasn't in the building for many of them pre-Tim Duncan. But Aldridge's 56 is right up there near the top, obviously, as the third-highest scoring game in Spurs history. No Spurs player has ever scored more in front of the home fans. That's saying something when you consider all the Hall of Famers who have played for this franchise.
Moyle: Robinson put up some absurd numbers in his heyday - 71 points, 14 rebounds and five assists in 1994; 52 points, 14 boards and seven blocks in 1993; 43, 10 and 12 blocks in 1991. But from a purely offensive standpoint, Aldridge's performance ranks right up there with just about any of the incredible regular-season performances we've seen from Robinson, Duncan, Ginobili, Gervin and Parker. And Aldridge got better the deeper the game went. Dropping 56 in a double-overtime win against arguably the league's top defense was a remarkable feat.
Talbot: I have to agree with Finger — it is hard to compare it to some of the all-time great playoff performances and, of course, the 71 dropped by The Admiral. But it was Aldridge's best game of his career, and the Spurs have to be happy with that going forward, especially after the horrid start the 33-year-old had to begin the season.
Parker is coming back to San Antonio when the Hornets play the Spurs on Monday. What should we expect?
Finger: Remember when Kawhi Leonard came to town earlier this month? Yeah, this will be nothing like that. Parker will be greeted as warmly as any opposing player ever has been by Spurs fans. And knowing how proud he can be, it wouldn't be a shock to see him play his best game of the season for the Hornets.
McDonald: The 100 percent opposite of what happened when Leonard returned earlier this month. I'm expecting an absolute love-fest welcoming back the greatest point guard in franchise history. And deservedly so, obviously. I also look for Parker to perhaps play with a bit of a chip on his shoulder, just to show the Spurs they should have brought him back.
Moyle: Lots of love. There shouldn't be any acrimony after Parker spent 17 spectacular seasons with the Spurs. It'll be surreal to see him on the visitor's bench, but that's the new reality these days. I'm sure the 36-year-old will get a nice warm welcome from Gregg Popovich, his former teammates and the fans. And I have a feeling he'll flash some of the moves that made him into a (mostly) beloved figure in San Antonio.
Talbot: Parker probably could have resigned with the Spurs. After injuries to start the season they needed him, but with White now healthy and the prospect of Dejounte Murray, it is easy to see why he moved on. Spurs fans are smart, usually, and will recognize that. The cheers will be louder than the boos were for Kawhi.
He won't talk about it — ever — but Popovich passed Jerry Sloan into third on the all-time NBA coaching wins list. Will he eventually break the record?
Finger: Popovich entered Saturday trailing Lenny Wilkens by 110 and Don Nelson by 113. That means he would need to coach at least two seasons beyond this one, and I'm not sure that will happen. Even though he's given no indication that he's ready to quit, his stint as head coach of Team USA in the 2020 Olympics always has seemed like the most natural time to step aside. And if he does, that would leave him about 40 or 50 victories short of the record.
McDonald: What this question is really asking is something that's been asked often around here the past few years: How much longer do we think Popovich is going to remain the head coach of the Spurs? Heading into Saturday's rematch with OKC, Popovich needed 113 victories to eclipse Don Nelson's all-time mark. Even if you assume the Spurs finish the current season with 50 victories, he'll still need to coach two more to even have a chance to break the record. It could happen, but if you're asking me to bet the house, I say it does not.
Moyle: The roster is talented enough that if Popovich sticks around for another two seasons he could pass Don Nelson's 1,335 wins. Pop obviously won't chase the record — I'm sure he doesn't even know what the exact total is. Pop has won at least 57 percent of his games in all but his first season as a coach, so it's really only a matter of how long he wants to continue coaching for.
Talbot: It kind of depends if that is a secret goal of his. He doesn't talk about records for himself, though, so it is hard to imagine it would be. If he wants to break it, he will. If he doesn't, he won't. He needs to coach for two more seasons beyond this one to get it done and after coaching the Olympic team in 2020 it is easy to see him hang it up. I won't be surprised, though, if one day he breaks the record, gets asked about it in post-game news conference and then instead of answering waits for a question about the game that night.

Repeated waxing with little gaps can damage your skin.
Experiencing itching sensation after a waxing session is common.
Waxing may cause irritation and redness.
Using overheated wax may cause dark spots or even slightly burn your skin.
What is the first thing that a girl or woman turns to when she has to get rid of unwanted body hair? Well, while some rely on razor or hair removal creams, some go for waxing, now out of all these methods, waxing is considered as the safest and the best method to remove unwanted hair. However, not many know that there can be several adverse effects of removing hair by waxing.
Beauticians and experts always suggest to opt for a reputed saloon to get body waxing done because they use superior products as compared to the ordinary parlous. But apart from the quality of wax, does repeated waxing also harm your skin? The answer is yes, the wax and procedure of waxing can have immediate or long term effects on your skin.
Going for repeated waxing with little gaps may damage your skin, making it less supple. It may also intensify the chances of you having wrinkles soon. And nobody wants that. But no matter how lightly the wax strip is pulled out, repeated process will certainly loosen your skin.
This is one of the most common and irritating side effects that you could go through due to repeated waxing. Although not everyone gets irritation and redness after waxing but if you have sensitive skin, you are more likely to experience such side effects.
Experiencing itching sensation after a waxing session is common. But scratching the waxed skin right after waxing may result in skin rashes and red bumps. People with highly sensitive skin experience such problems after bikini waxing.
Yes, this can happen and the waxer is not at the fault. As you may know that hair follicle is connected to a little blood vessel and when you rip the hair off, you may a see a blood droplet. This is more likely to happen in tight pores areas such as underarms or around the labia. This may also happen while waxing sensitive skin.
Using overheated wax may cause dark spots and even slightly burn your skin. You may get reddish brown spots which will eventually turn into a dark pigmentation on the skin. Depending upon the skin type, these spots take one week to a year to fade out.
You read that right, repeated waxing may result in ingrown hair. They generally occur at the areas like underarms or the bikini line, and as they can't be seen, they will make you feel much uncomfortable.
So before you hit the salon next time for body waxing keeps these things in mind.


Now this also works on my mobile device and respects the changes which came with the new indico version.
This also includes all 3.5.x now.
Try to find automatically to which mysqlclient mysql++ links and use this library as well if not overwritten by the user. Link the SQL libraried to Configuration where they belong to.
That's the better approach. To avoid confusion, disable clang as a default.

Wireless AGVs May Prove Most Important ProMatDX Innovation
Article | April 1, 2021
April 12 -15 ProMatDX, the largest material handling event, will take place virtually. It will feature dozens of AGV vendors. Sadly, some of these highly innovating products still need to be plugged-in to capture power. No more. Wiferion in process charging eliminates the plug-in charging making AGVs truly autonomous. In process charging eliminates the waste of AGV downtime – the fleet is always working AND charging. In process charging is safe ensuring the OSHA, ergonomics, and danger to workers significantly reduced. In process charging is cost-efficient because full vehicle deployment means a reduced fleet count ensuring a rapid ROI. For OEMs of AGVs and industrial trucks implementing inductive charging technology solves the wear and tear issues caused by conventional charging methods as well as making vehicles fully autonomous. For end-users of AGVs and industrial trucks, inductive charging in combination with lithium batteries can improve fleet availability by more than 30%. Whether driverless transport systems (AGVs), electric forklifts, or mobile robots (AMRs), the efficient use of industrial trucks is a decisive factor for competitiveness during ever- increasing cost pressures. The energy systems are being scrutinized and lithium-ion batteries are the preferred technology. The advantages versus lead-acid batteries (including the ability to recharge faster and more often) are obvious. Until now the full potential of storage technology has not been fully realized.
How to Improve Production Scheduling: The 5 Crucial Elements
The manufacturing production schedule is a critical aspect that enables the manufacturing business to complete each production activity precisely and on time. Allocating different raw materials, resources, or processes to distinct project phases is called a production schedule. Its goal is to make your manufacturing process as efficient and cost-effective as possible in terms of resources and labor — all while delivering products on schedule. As technology takes over and enhances many of the processes we used to handle with manual labor, we are freed up to use our minds creatively, which leads to bigger and better leaps in innovation and productivity." – Matt Mong, VP Market Innovation and Project Business Evangelist at Adeaca So, how is the overall production schedule managed? According to businesswire, the global APS (Advanced Production Planning and Scheduling) software market was valued at $1,491.22 million in 2020 and is anticipated to raise $2,941.27 million by 2028 expanding at an 8.86 percent CAGR from 2020 to 2028. Some software and tools are available to assist manufacturing organizations in properly scheduling production planning, including MaxScheduler, TACTIC, MRPeasy, and Gantt charts. Though there are numerous software programs available on the market for production scheduling, the most crucial aspect is determining which elements to consider when planning production. This blog will look at the five most important factors to consider while planning the production schedule. Five Elements to Consider When Scheduling Production As we saw in the introduction, production scheduling is used in the manufacturing process to assign plant and machinery resources, schedule human resources, plan production processes, and purchase materials. So, what are the primary components or stages of this production scheduling process? Let's take a quick look at each of them. Planning to Make the Best Use of the Company's Resources The role of planning in production scheduling is to use the company's resources to maintain a regular production flow. As a result, downtime is decreased, and bottlenecks are minimized, allowing production to be optimized. For production scheduling, two forms of planning can be used: Dynamic Planning: Dynamic planning is carried out under the idea that process stages will alter. So, materials must be ready, but production cannot begin until demand is decided. Static Planning: Static planning is done keeping in mind that all process steps will be completed on schedule and without adjustments. Routing to Determine the Order of Actions A "bill of materials" is used in discrete manufacturing to specify what things are needed and in what quantities. Routing determines the path and sequence of required phases of the process. It may involve in-house operations, but it may also comprise sub-contracted components that must be returned to the production flow for final assembly. Scheduling to Make Use of Predetermined Planning Levels To manufacture products from components or raw materials, scheduling makes use of the previously set planning level. As a result, it is time-dependent and must meet the demand outlined at the planning level. Each department, product, and procedure can have their own unique set of timetables. Sub-schedules for sub-assemblies or mixes and blends may be defined by department-specific master production schedules, utilized at the highest level to define product timeframes. Dispatching to Decide on Immediate Actions Dispatching assigns the following jobs to be done from a subset of the production queue. Dispatching is utilized to make quick decisions. This is in contrast to planning, which involves the planning of future actions. Dispatching is utilized in both pull and push production systems. Execution to Ensure that all Processes are Carried out Correctly Production scheduling must rely on proper execution to ensure that all processes are completed appropriately and in the sequence planned. It requires everyone to know what they are expected to do and when they are expected to do it. Execution requires knowledgeable management decisions, well-trained employees, correct data in the manufacturing plan and schedule, and consistent sales statistics and forecast numbers. All must be present for the organization to carry out its production plan and fulfill orders. How MRPeasy – A Production Scheduling Software Assist Manufacturing Companies in Scheduling Their Production? MRPeasy is a cloud-based material requirements planning (MRP) application explicitly designed for small manufacturing units. Its primary functions are purchase order management, forecasting, and inventory management. This software simplifies the process of scheduling production. It enables you to evaluate all of your anticipated manufacturing orders (MO). The bill of materials (BOM), purchasing, and stocking are all maintained in one location, allowing you to quickly book inventory and increase purchase orders (PO) for acquired parts. MRPeasy enables you to: Obtain all of the detailed information on all of your MOs Consider MOs as a single block or as distinct operations. Drag-and-drop operations and operations to reschedule Calendar or Gantt chart views are available for monitoring scheduled orders. Additionally, you can manage MOs smoothly. With the production planning component, you may create, amend, and update MOs. This app compiles an exhaustive list of all your MOs. You can track their progress based on the status of an order or a part's availability. Additionally, you can search for, filter, and export your MOs. Final Words How to schedule production for your organization requires extensive research, planning, and analysis of overall product demand as well as a grasp of the time required to meet the demand. Production scheduling techniques such as job-based planning, batch method, flow method, and others help develop a productive manufacturing production schedule. Include the elements mentioned above in your manufacturing scheduling to get the best possible benefits, such as better production efficiency, lower production costs, and on-time product delivery for your manufacturing in 2022. FAQ How production planning differ from production scheduler? Production planning and scheduling are often mixed. But there is a difference. Planning decides what and how much work must be done, whereas scheduling specifies who and when the work will be done. What is real-time manufacturing scheduling? Real-Time Scheduling is a production planning, scheduling, and tracking tool that enables manufacturing organizations to improve customer satisfaction and achieve optimal operational performance cost-effectively. How can scheduling be improved? Communication with staff is a great way to improve scheduling. This is true for all businesses, software or otherwise. However, management should not burden employees with ambiguous or unclear communication, and vice versa. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [{ "@type": "Question", "name": "How production planning differ from production scheduler?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Production planning and scheduling are often mixed.

Quality Digest Defines Enhanced Webinar Events
For twenty years as an editorial contributor to Quality Digest magazine, I have had the pleasure of authoring or collaborating more than 80 articles for the publication. During this two-decade tenure, I have worked with Dirk Dusharme (pictured left), Editor in Chief of Quality Digest. Quality Digest's website receives more than three million page views each year, which provide editorial content, live broadcasts, videos, and on-demand webinars presented by industry experts on international quality standards, leadership, manufacturing, metrology, statistical process control, training, and more. Quality Digest continues its important role as companies navigate a post-COVID reality with a critical role of safety, quality, efficiency, and resiliency. Quality elements are no longer an after-thought. It is essential when examining automation, lean manufacturing, and new paradigms for best practice. During COVID, all of us became more remote savvy and the demand for visionary content and information essential. According to Dusharme, "Since their debut almost a decade ago, Quality Digest's "enhanced" webinar events have raised the bar for the traditional webinar experience. Our audience has come to expect concise, informative, and engaging presentations with subject matter experts who know what they are talking about. Apart from the traditional quality topics, we delve into areas that broaden our audience's knowledge.

Contest Winner Spotlight: Mono Memory on His Remix of Com Truise's "Dynetics"
This past July, we lovingly (and with much trepedation) launched the Summer of Synthwave Com Truise Remix Contest, encouraging Soundfly members to create their own take on Com Truise's new track "Dynetics" using his very own stems. Community members from all over the globe whipped up their own remixes for a chance to win amazing prizes put up by Arturia, Kilohearts, Samples From Mars, and D16.
By the time it ended, we were flabbergasted by the sheer number of incredible submissions to the contest, taken aback by the overall level of quality that just seems to flow effortlessly from Soundfly's artist community, and in a real pickle as Seth and the team convened to decide this year's winners and runners up…
Yet, one submission kept popping up on everyone's lists without fail. Mono Memory, a.k.a. Arron Cornall, provided a track that not only transformed Com Truise's original track into something truly original, it seemed to transport all of us to the same place; a place deeply reminiscent of Seth Haley's own brand of retrofuturistic epic synth dystopia.
We simply couldn't look away.
Check out Mono Memory's "Dynetics" remix below and follow the rest of his music on Spotify here. Mono Memory's new album, SH, is out now.
The following is my post-win conversation with Arron himself about his work and creative process. Enjoy!
Q: You recently won the Summer of Synthwave Com Truise Remix Contest with your fantastic remix of "Dynetics." Congrats! How was the process of producing this track for you (fun or laborious)? Was there an overall vision that you started with, or did it organically come together through the process?
Thank you, it really was a shock to get the email through. I have to say, all of the other mixes I heard were excellent. Well done to everyone who entered: you all smashed it.
For me at least, the process of creating/remixing/producing a track always starts off fun and exciting… But, when you hit the mastering stage and the final tweaks start to take shape, it can be pretty exhausting. For this remix in particular, I was jumping around four or five different versions in the end but scrapped it and went in fresh on the day I submitted. Sometimes this has to be done to get a clear head and re-evaluate what you think you are unhappy with. It is the ultimate conundrum with making music: when is it done?
I don't think I had an overarching vision for the remix, but I definitely wanted to incorporate a lot of my own sporadic sound palettes and mash them into the bedrock of an already solid track from Seth. It is difficult when Com Truise is a major influence, so some of those sounds and melodic ideas were coming through, while I attempted to stay conscious of not riffing too heavily on those themes. But it was a real privilege to bounce off the existing stems and work out where I would take my version.
How did you approach the work? Did the track take a long time to come together or did it go quickly?
This was my first attempt at actually remixing existing stems and adding new parts to a track; I was definitely a bit overwhelmed with where to start on this. The first thing I did, once the stems were in the session (and the bpm was locked in), was to enable elastic audio in Pro Tools and bump up the tempo a bit. I then listened out for a catchy hook, which ended up being part of the synth chord track. I really like the chords and how they kinda ping-pong around with subtle melody and bass counterpoint. As elastic audio was enabled, the pitch also went up by a whole tone so ended up in E♭ — which was an easier key for me to jam around anyway — but liked the feel already from looping this part.
Drums came next; two stereo channels with different routing and kits that I had set up earlier in an existing template. One of the kits is definitely Com Truise-inspired; with punchy kick and toms, while the other one was a bit more of a 808/house feel with more reverb and toppy percussion. Part 1 is a fairly foot-to-the-floor drum layer, while more complex rhythms take shape as the track progresses.
It was also cool experimenting with further counterpoint to the existing melodies within that loop. For that, I turned to my Juno 60 (which I've only had a year) and toyed with little riffs that would pop in and out to compliment what was already there. There was also quite a bit of time spent fiddling with bass sounds and finding the actual notes to play; it wasn't immediately obvious where the right notes should land, but I ended up with E♭ – B – G progression for the opening, which seemed to fit well enough. There are also some call and response riffs with different bass sounds leading up into the first breakdown.
I really jumped around between the stems and my own contributions with hardware/midi until I was comfortable with the intro. I really wanted to keep as much in from the original composition as I could, but opted to not have parts sounding off at once. So I was fairly picky with where I would use certain samples; the cool bass riff was kept for the outro, for example. The riser cymbals punctuate throughout the track. The original drums add an extra layer at the chorus sections. Glitched and faded hats leading into breakdowns, and so on.
Structurally, I wanted it to build up and drop out again, before leading to the first "chorus." I spent a lot of time trying to get a melody to compliment the chord structure — E♭/C#/B – E♭/C#/G# etc. This was recorded with unison leads on the OB6 and multi-layered in the end.
A cool stem melody lead part was added into the mix here as well, which sat well within the chord structure/new lead lines.
From there, it was just experimenting with different sounds and plug-ins for extra sections (pre/post chorus) that could add a different feel to what else was going on. In hindsight, I think I did structure it somewhat akin to a traditional pop-song structure, albeit with more deviations and breakdowns than average. I actually have a lyrical idea/concept for this remix as well but it hasn't been recorded yet. All in all, I think I spent around 30 hours on this remix over the course of a week. But the initial ideas during the first session came pretty quickly once I had increased the tempo and found a suitable riff/loop to work from.
How did you arrive at your sound?
In all honesty, I don't think I have found my sound yet really. I have been involved with putting my own synth-driven spin on video game themes for a good while now, over on YouTube/Bandcamp, which did relatively well for a while, but it has pushed my original stuff to the background a bit. I now plan to change course in the next year or so and really develop a different approach with the new gear and tools I have.
I only started using hardware synths (Juno 60 and OB-6) early last year, which has definitely had an impact on the way I approach synthesis and recording. I'm not so hellbent on midi now and will try to play in parts organically. There is always elastic audio quantizing if I'm particularly terrible some days! Some notable plug-in mentions that I enjoy: Omnisphere, D16 effects, Diva, Predator 2, OB-XD, Massive and Eventide suite.
Who are your biggest inspirations in terms of producers or artists, and did you look towards any particular artist for inspiration here?
The Mono Memory synth project started in 2016 after deciding I was done with guitar music. The synthwave scene had been on my radar since about 2011, but just took a while to give it a go myself. I have a bunch of small EP's out there that dip into the '80s aesthetic and vibe, inspired by Lazerhawk, Com Truise, The Glitch Mob, Electric Youth, College, etc. These artists definitely led to the inspiration of having a shot at this kind of music.
As an '80s kid, the nostalgia for that sound has always been strong. For this remix in particular, I did want to ride the line of staying true to the Com Truise sound but add twists and turns on that formula along the way.
Were you able to put concepts you learned from Com Truise's Mid-Fi Synthwave Slow-Motion Funk course into action in your remix?
I am still working through parts of the course, but as of writing this, every section has taught me something new, whether it be a general approach or mindset, to more technical use of compression and layering/effects — it's all helpful. Side-chaining is something I have been a bit lazy with implementing in some mixes in the past, so I'd say it was interesting to hear his take on making it work in Ableton, alongside the likes of multi-band dynamics in smoothing out the mix.
The video accompaniments really help you better grasp what is going on as I find reading can not always be the best way of learning new techniques; seeing and hearing goes a long way.
What brought you to Soundfly originally?
I actually came across an Instagram ad showing off the Com Truise course, which definitely piqued my interest as a fan of his music for sometime. I have not looked into other courses yet, but I really like the format of Soundfly; really well-presented and each section gives you enough to get going and not detract overall from the progress you are making. I will have to see what else is on offer, for sure!
What's next for you in 2022?
Currently, I am finishing a Silent Hill-inspired album as a homage to some of the great original compositions by Akira Yamaoka (composer for most of the games). This should be out and ready for Halloween weekend; two weeks later for digital stores. Then, it is on to producing a new original EP and trying to get my music out there as much as possible.
This has become a full-time venture for me the past year, so really looking to take it up a notch if possible.

Soler, Ross, Bryant hit long HRs as Cubs pound Phillies 6-2
CHICAGO (AP) - In a game where the Cubs hit several mammoth drives, David Ross' smash against an advertising sign beyond the left-field bleachers stood out.
His 100th career home run was something to behold, and it wasn't just because of the distance it traveled. It was the feelings it generated.
Ross' drive broke open a game in which Jorge Soler and Kris Bryant hit long homers to back Jon Lester and lead Chicago to a 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on a rainy Friday afternoon.
"He makes our clubhouse better, he makes our guys better," said Lester, Ross' teammate in Boston and Chicago. "He knows how to go about pushing buttons with certain guys and getting the best out of them. I know that's true of myself."
The big home runs helped the Cubs win their third straight after dropping eight of 12, and they came before two late delays — for 56 minutes in the top of the seventh inning and for 37 minutes at the start of the ninth.
Soler broke a 1-1 tie with his shot halfway up the video board in left leading off the fourth. Ross added a three-run homer off the Nuveen sign beyond the left-field bleachers in the inning to give the Cubs a 5-1 lead, and Bryant chased Adam Morgan (1-3) with a towering shot to start the fifth.
"It's nice to have a nice round number — 100 in the show," Ross said. "That's pretty cool for me. But it affected the game. That's even better, right?"
Lester (5-3) rebounded from his shortest start of the season by giving up two runs — one earned — and six hits while pitching into the seventh.
Ben Zobrist extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a double and single, and the Cubs started a 10-game homestand on a winning note.
Lester improved to 5-0 against the Phillies after getting knocked out in the third inning in a loss at San Francisco last week. The left-hander struck out seven, walked two and left to a loud ovation after Obudel Herrera doubled with one out in the seventh.
As Pedro Strop took his warmup pitches, heavy rain came and sent the ground crew rushing to cover the field.
The Phillies lost for the fifth time in seven games. And Morgan — who gave up six runs and eight hits — dropped his third straight start.
"He threw some good changeups, but quite a few bad ones," manager Pete Mackanin said. "He really didn't have command of any of his pitches."
The Cubs held slumping slugger Anthony Rizzo and Jason Heyward out of the lineup but still showed plenty of pop.
Soler, who came in with a .204 average, started the power display with his huge drive, and there was more of that when Ross knocked his homer off the second "N'' in the Nuveen sign. The veteran was so pumped up he even shimmied in the dugout after he circled the bases.
Bryant's drive to Waveland Avenue beyond the left-field bleachers was no less impressive. The home run was his fourth in seven games and 11th overall.
As for Ross?
"I run in the outfield before the game, and ever since I hit 99, all I hear is, 'Hit a homer — grandpa,'" he said.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Phillies: 3B Maikel Franco was back in the lineup and said "everything is good" after leaving with a sprained right ankle in the seventh of the Phillies' 8-5 win at Detroit on Wednesday. ... IF/OF Cody Asche (oblique strain) and LHP Mario Hollands (Tommy John elbow surgery) had their rehab assignments transferred to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. ... Mark Appel, the top pick in the 2013 draft, was placed on the DL with right shoulder strain at Lehigh Valley. Appel was acquired in the offseason from Houston for closer Ken Giles.
Cubs: Maddon said Heyward had no setbacks after playing Tuesday and Wednesday at St. Louis. He missed the previous three games because of a bruise on his right side near his ribs.
The Cubs send RHP Kyle Hendricks (2-4, 3.30 ERA) to the mound, with RHP Jerad Eickhoff (2-6, 3.86) starting for Philadelphia. Hendricks took the loss at San Francisco on Sunday despite holding the Giants to one run in 5 1/3 innings. Eickhoff pitched five-hit ball over seven innings in a 5-0 win over Atlanta on Sunday.

Foundations and subfloor
Roof form and framing: original details
Roof cladding: original details
Though most houses had relatively steep hip or gable roofs, form and framing changed during the 1960s. Framing may be undersized by modern standards.
Roof form
The house roofs of the 1940s-60s typically had a simple roof form, with either a hip (Figure 1) or a gable and a relatively steep pitch, typically between 30° and 40°.
Lean-to roofs, dormers and other roof features were not incorporated on the roofs of state or privately built houses although some state houses had Dutch gable roofs.
By the end of the 1960s plan books showed a wider range of roof forms such as the Mansard, the lean to or mono-pitch, the Dutch gable, a reverse mansard and the Japanese. Though roofs were usually constructed with a roof space, from the mid 1960s onwards skillion roofs, particularly over the living areas, became more common.
Figure 1: Hip roof construction.
Architect-designed houses sometimes had lower pitch roofs with wider eaves, though some architect-designed houses had no eaves.
Hip and gable roofs
The roof structure was typically a nailed timber roof frame constructed on site in either a hipped or gabled configuration.
The rafters of a hipped roof, which span between the ridge board, hip rafter or valley rafter and the wall framing top plate, may be common, hip, valley and jack rafters.
Gabled roofs were generally couple-close construction, i.e. where each pair of rafters spanning between the ridge board and the top wall plate are tied by ceiling joists, connecting rafters at their base to prevent spreading (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Couple-close roof.
Rafters consisted of rough sawn 4 x 2" (100 x 50 mm) or 5 x 2" (125 x 50 mm) were typically spaced at 20" (480 mm) centres. Ridge boards were typically 6 x 1" (150 x 25) or 8 x 1" (200 x 25 mm).
Where the rafter span was too great for the depth of the rafters, they were supported at mid-span by underpurlins and struts that transferred the load to an internal loadbearing wall. By today's standards, the roof framing was undersized, particularly where the roof has concrete or clay tiles.
Gable roofs were braced with diagonal braces that were either 6 x 1" (150 x 25 mm) solid bracing cut in between rafters, or a surface brace fixed below the rafters (Figure 3). Roof space bracing was provided by a bracing member running from the ridge board at the gable end to an internal wall top plate (Figure 4). In hipped roofs, the hip rafters also act as roof space bracing, so additional bracing was not required.
Figure 3: Roof plane bracing options for a gable roof.
Figure 4: Method of bracing the roof space of a gable roof.
Skillion roofs
Skillion roofs incorporated a ridge beam or internal loadbearing wall to support the roof apex and generally had the ceiling lining fixed to the underside of the rafters with the roof cladding installed as done when there was a roof space.
Sarking and purlins
Depending on the roofing cladding, roofs were either sarked or had purlins. Sarking was generally used to support asbestos-cement shingle roofing, and purlins were generally used with corrugated asbestos-cement sheet roofing, but this was not always the case. Where the roof was tiled, battens were installed to support and secure the tiles.
Sarking consisted of 1" (25 mm) wide, close-butted boards that were laid either perpendicular to the rafters or on the diagonal. When laid diagonally, sarking also provided roof plane bracing.
As an economy measure 'hit and miss' sarking, where every second board is omitted, was sometimes used.
Purlins were laid perpendicular to the rafters to provide support and fixing for the roofing material. They were either 2 x 2" (50 x 50 mm) or 3 x 2" (75 x 50 mm) and typically spaced at 36" (900 mm) centres or to suit the length of the roofing material.
Where installed, roofing underlay was supported by galvanised wire netting when purlins were used, or laid directly over the sarking. In some cases, and particularly where tiles were installed, roofing underlay was not used.
Roof eaves and gables
The eaves of 1940s-1950s houses were narrow, generally 12" (300 mm) wide, and lined on the underside with 3/8" (5mm) or ¼" (6 mm) asbestos-cement sheet (Figure 5). A 4 x 1" (100 x 25 mm) fascia board provided support for the gutter. Eaves became wider during the late 1950s and into the 1960s, typically 18–24" (450–600 mm) although eaves up to 4'6" (1350 mm) were sometimes used.
Figure 5: Boxed eaves soffit.
Gables were plain, with the cladding in the triangular section of the gable wall often of the same material as the principal wall cladding. A development in the 1960s, with the use of skillion roofs typically over living areas, was glazing up to the gable end roofline.
Sometimes a contrasting cladding material was used, such as asbestos-cement sheet with timber battens to contrast with weatherboards, or bevel-back weatherboards to contrast with brick veneer. Barges were typically faced with 6 x 1" (150 x 25 mm) boards.
Gutters and downpipes were made of galvanised mild steel until PVC and fascia gutter systems became available towards the end of the 1960s.
Metal gutters were an ogee profile and fixed with external brackets to the fascia board. They were available in 8' (2.4 m) lengths and joints were soldered on site. Downpipes were round, galvanised steel pipes, 2½" (63 mm) in diameter and supplied in 8' (2.4 m) lengths. They discharged into stormwater drains, water tanks or to soak pits.

Abstract: Data from the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database (TAIHOD) were used to describe 28,352 fall-related hospitalizations among active-duty Army soldiers between 1980 and 1998. Soldiers who were younger than age 26, single, and had a high school education or less were at greatest risk. Falls from a height were more likely to be fatal than other types of falls, accounting for 88% was known, 64% and half of these occurred during training. The most common type of fall during training was fall from a height (37%) and ladders accounted for 49% research should include identification of specific behavioral and occupational risk factors for falls, particularly those occurring during training activities, and falls occurring off duty.
