The two hour tribute to Tony was hurriedly put together in less than two weeks in November/ December 2007. It meant a virtual queue of Manchester's and Salford's (he was a Salford lad at heart) luminaries from the music and media scene queuing outside the door to be interviewed and there was so much material and so much emotion involved it made listening to it over and over and editing it similar to the pain you feel when clearing your dead parents old clothes and nick-nacks out of the house . there were endless hours of editing to get it ready and a looming deadline. Altogether originally we put together 5 hours of material that was broadcast on Christmas Day Night 2007 , but the second two hours of the show here are the real meat of it. It's Tony Wilson through the eyes of some of those people who knew him best. I've had a varied response to the way I've lauded Tony since his death – if someone asked me how I felt about it , my first reaction is one of supreme irritation. It was only really when he died that I realised that he'd defined my whole approach in my time the media , it's almost as if I was always seeking his approval even though often I'd be at pains over the 30 years I knew him , to let him know he didn't have mine. Apologies from the final production on the tribute , Natalie Eve Williams at the BBC ( Manchester Introducing and the Manchester Music show) and myself who ploughed through the editing and construction every night for over a week until 4-5am then left it in the hands of a bloke who couldn't read a simple instruction time line and managed to make a mess of mixing the music in , however in its own scatological fashion I think it's a worthy tribute to Tony from his friends , colleagues and occasional enemies . This is Manchester ,we're judged harshly by outsiders because we do things differently here , and hopefully we always will.
For this first hour I just played a selection of Factory and early Manchester punk and post punk tunes and then the tribute in the second two hours . The track-listing for the first hour is below and there's a rough guide to the songs (perhaps not all of them) which were rather poorly mixed into the tribute. All in all I think Tony would have liked it . Thanks to everyone who took time to take part in this – Bob Dickenson and Geoff Moore from Granada , old school original Manchester pre punks Alan Wise of Factory , CP Lee – Cultural commentator and of Albertos Y Los Trios Paranoias fame, Tosh Ryan & Lawrence Beadle of Rabid Records , Lindsay Reade – Tony's ex-wife , Journalists -Mick Middles &Paul Morley musicians Clint Boon , Donald Johnson of ACR , Mani of The Stone Roses, Peter Hook , Stephen Morriss of Joy Division New Order, Aniffe Akinola of Chapter & The Verse, Johnny Jay – music producer and instigator of Manchester's visionary Rock Da House nights that spawned – 808 State , A Guy called Gerald , MC Tunes , MC Buzz B , Chapter & The Verse , Ruthless Rap Assassins etc, Councillor Pat Carney , Derek Hatton and Rowetta and Paul Ryder of The Happy Mondays – anyone I've left out , my apologies .

The acoustic parameter of duration has no linguistic value in both Bulgarian and Portuguese. The study of this phenomenon is motivated by the significant differences across the two languages. It would be a contribution both to theoretical and to applied linguistics to establish these differences. The paper discusses the results obtained from a study of duration which depends on the specific nature of the segment and on the location of the segment in relation to word stress. The duration of Bulgarian and Portuguese vowels was compared according to numerical duration values. Some of the reasons underlying differences in duration are analysed. The contrastive analysis offers a reliable theoretical foundation for further work in corrective Portuguese phonetics for Bulgarian learners.


It's the end of May which means it's time for May favourites! We've had a really good month with lots of lovely new products to try and events picking back up again. This months favourites features products we've loved on the blog and one we haven't mentioned yet. Here's what we've been loving.
I've been trying out a lot of different fragrances this month but the one that stood out the most was the Giorgio Armani Si eau de toilette. It's fresh, floral and girly; exactly what I look for in a perfume with a slightly fruity note to shake things up a bit.
I've been a fan of the sheer lipstick look for quite some time but I can't stop wearing the Max Factor Colour Intensifying Balm in Classy Cherry. For the past few months I've been wearing the same your lips but better shade until this came along and introduced some colour into my routine.
During the warmer months my hair gets very unruly so I dreaded the daily task of detangling until The Wet Brush came along. I'd been pulling my hair out with the tangle teezer through all the tugs so when this came along, it introduced a pain free way of hairstyling I never want to go back from. Wonderful product!
You might not know this but I am a glasses wearer so this month I took a little trip to my opticians (after putting it off for far too long) and got myself a new pair from Glasses Direct. I never knew how bad my eyesight had got until I got my new pair of Glasses Direct Aspire Trillions and I actually saved around £100 by getting them online instead of the shop. Altogether with the lenses it cost me around £80 including a pair of prescription sunglasses too! I might do a future post on my experience if anyone would be interested in that.
I have to give a shout out to The Mindfulness Colouring Book, the adult colouring book for de-stressing which I included in my de-stressing routine this month. It's beautifully illustrated and such a relaxing task to do when you're sitting down watching your favourite TV show. I'm around 1/3 of the way through and it's taken me ages!
I'd also like to give a quick mention to the Debenhams Bra Fitting experience I received this month. Getting properly fitted made such a difference to my comfort and posture, plus it also encouraged me to get rid of all those old bra's with the wires poking out and treat myself to some lovely new sets.
Those are my favourites for the month of May! I hope you all had a great month and I'd love to hear what's been your favourite this month.


The Government's programme for new naval construction in 1908 includes an expenditure of 11,250,000 roubles (£1,125,000) on battleships, 960,000 roubles (£96,000) on torpedo craft, 700,000 roubles (£70,000) on floating base, and 1,250,000 roubles (£125,000) on submarines.
The joint committee appointed by the Committee of National Defence and the Budget Sub-Committee of the Duma has reported against the credit for battleships pending the complete reorganization of the Ministry of Marine, without which, it is pointed out, the satisfactory carrying out of a naval programme is not to be hoped for. The committee also urged the necessity of keeping warships in commission as long as possible every year, particularly in the Black Sea, where a minimum yearly service of ten months is advocated.


Okay, I'm at the age where you need to hold your head and your arms just right in order to read. Seriously, very fine print is quite an aggravation for me. Since I do some Bible teaching, I find it easier to have a larger text for easy viewing. This Thomas Nelson Giant Print Reference Bible is just perfect for me!
It has a burgundy leather flexible cover, and it's the King James Version, with the words of Jesus in the color red. Other features include introductions to each book of the Bible, stars that show the Messianic prophecies, and a concordance. It also has large print references that go along with certain texts. I got it for only $14.97 at Walmart! Quite a deal, as it's a rather large Bible in size as well.
Of course, I had to have a new cover for the Bible and some Bible tabs, which I'll also be reviewing. (One thing leads to another, I guess.) I'm sure that I will enjoy it for many years to come--though I can be pretty hard on a Bible.
If you'd like an easier text to read, check out the Giant Print Bible by Thomas Nelson.

Not everything published by the Church or by church members is free. When it comes to "commercial use" of a copyrighted work (which includes posting on the internet), you always need to obtain permission from the copyright holder.
Latter-day Saints are expected to honor, sustain, and obey the law where they live, and to be good examples for others. Sharing or distributing copyrighted materials without permission is against the law.
Printed works published before 1924 are in public domain in the United States. That means that you can scan, copy, distribute, arrange, adapt, or perform printed music from before 1924 without worrying about whether or not it is copyrighted.
Fair use allows you to use parts of copyrighted works for common-sense purposes like education and commentary.
1. Not everything published by the Church or by church members is free.
The Church copyrights music and other materials to legally protect itself from those who would degrade the Church, and to compensate those who produced the music. While the Church encourages people to serve and give freely, it also stands by the scriptural principle that the laborer is worthy of his hire. Producing music takes time and effort and is a way for those involved to provide for themselves and their families.
Most music produced by the Church is accompanied by a license statement allowing personal, noncommercial church or home use. When it comes to "commercial use" of a copyrighted work (which includes posting on the internet), you always need to obtain permission from the copyright holder. If you want to distribute or make an arrangement of a song owned by the Church, contact the Intellectual Property Office.
Not everything published by the Church is owned by the Church. For example, some of the hymns in the hymnbook are owned by companies or individuals who have given the Church a license to publish it. Unless specifically stated, this license does not extend to church members.
The Church is very careful to follow copyright laws and to respect the rights of copyright holders. There are some hymns in the hymnbook that the Church has permission to publish in print, but not to distribute digitally (like "How Great Thou Art," or "Because I Have Been Given Much"). Similarly, sometimes the Church uses third-party background music or images in videos they produce, and the license they are given allows them to stream the video, but not to provide it for download.
"Hymns having the notice © (year) IRI, hymns showing no copyright notice, and general materials in this collection may be copied for noncommercial church or home use. If a notice appears with a hymn, it must be included on each copy made. Hymns with copyright notices other than © (year) IRI, unless otherwise noted, must not be copied without written permission of the copyright owners" (Hymns, copyright page).
"© 2016 by Intellectual Reserve, Inc. All rights reserved. This song may be copied for incidental, noncommercial church or home use. This notice must be included on each copy made" (from a song recently published in the Liahona magazine).
"© 1975 Broadman Press. All rights reserved. International copyright secured. Used by permission. Making copies without written permission of the copyright owner is prohibited" (Hymns, 219).
Music produced independently by church members is not under the Church's license. You should not copy, download, or distribute music that is published or produced by Church members, or by anyone else – not even for Church use – unless permission is specifically granted by the copyright holder. LDS musicians, like other professionals, put time, effort, and monetary resources into their music. Making arrangements or recording covers of copyrighted songs without permission can also be a violation of copyright.
Permission to download music isn't always in a written license statement. If a composer or artist provides a download link for a song on their official website, that means they are allowing you to download and use it. But permission to download does not automatically include permission to distribute or share with others – if you want to share a song, you should direct others to the source.
If a download link is not provided, usually it means that the copyright holder is not giving permission for the music to be downloaded. You shouldn't use third-party programs to download music or videos that are only available for streaming, or take screenshots of sheet music that doesn't have a download link.
2. Latter-day Saints are expected to honor, sustain, and obey the law.
As Latter-day Saints, we believe in honoring, sustaining, and obeying the law. Honoring means that not only do we obey, but we do our best to be conscientious about our actions and make it a point to understand and live within the boundaries of the law, even if consequences may be seen as minimal. Sustaining the law means that we support it by informing and helping others to honor and obey the law as well.
Sometimes we allow ourselves to become comfortable with pirated music, books, movies, and games, disregarding the rights of others in the process. Too often we ignore or minimize traffic and pedestrian laws. These are not unjust laws – we have an obligation to obey them.
Heavenly Father has high expectations for us and can help us to do better every day through the atonement of Jesus Christ. It's up to us to recognize what we need to improve, and to ask for his help.
3. Printed works published before 1924 are in public domain.
Printed works published before 1924 are in the public domain in the United States. This means that they have fallen out of copyright, and can be freely copied and distributed. Some works published after 1924 are also in the public domain, but the laws for works copyrighted after 1924 have changed over time and navigating them will require some research.
If you want to use something that's in the public domain, you need to make sure you're starting with the original source. Translations, arrangements, and additional verses written after 1924 are not automatically in the public domain. Sometimes a hymn is in the public domain, but the page layout of the book it appears in is not – so, you can't photocopy the full page. If you start with the original source you can do whatever you want with it.
4. Fair use allows you to use parts of copyrighted works.
The purpose of copyright law is not to restrict access to information or to make things difficult for people to use and appreciate. Rather, it is to protect creators from harm, provide compensation and motivation for future work, and give credit where credit is due. "Fair use" allows for common-sense application of copyright laws for education or commentary.
Fair use is not a ticket to use copyrighted works for any purpose. Quoting a few lines from a copyrighted book to provide support for an article you're writing, and citing the source, would be protected by fair use. However, scanning a full chapter of a book and attaching it to your article would not be.
Purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes.
Nature of the copyrighted work.
Amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole.
Effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

Pitt Town est une ville située dans la grande banlieue de Sydney, en Nouvelle-Galles du Sud, en Australie.
Elle se trouve à 59 kilomètres au nord-ouest du quartier d'affaires de Sydney, dans la zone d'administration locale de la ville de Hawkesbury. Elle est délimitée au nord par le fleuve Hawkesbury.

Histoire

Peuple indigène

Pitt Town a été pendant 40 000 ans, un lieu de vie de la tribu Darug. Cette dernière occupait une grande partie du bassin sous la forme de différents clans.

Colonie
La colonisation européenne dans la ville de Pitt commence en 1791 lorsque le gouverneur Arthur Phillip campe dans la région. Un certain nombre de concessions de terres ont été octroyées l'année suivante, le long du fleuve. Pitt Town est l'une des cinq «villes de Macquarie» fondées par le gouverneur Macquarie en 1810. Elle porte le nom de William Pitt le Jeune, Premier ministre britannique du , chargé de planifier la colonisation de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud afin de l'utiliser en tant que pénitancier.

Après la création officielle de la ville par Lachlan Macquarie lors d'un dîner en  à Windsor, un site pour la ville a été aménagé début 1811. Cependant, du fait de l'éloignement du fleuve et des fermes environantes, la ville se développe lentement. C'est pourquoi Macquarie revient dans la région accompagné de l'arpenteur James Meehan, et délimite un nouvel emplacement pour la ville. En , Macquarie donne l'ordre, par l'intermédiaire de la Gazette de Sydney, de déplacer la ville à son emplacement actuel. Des concessions de terres sont donc octroyées aux colons au nouvel emplacement à partir de .

En 1841, il n'y a que 36 maisons dans la ville, à cause en grande partie de son emplacement trop éloigné des rivières où transitent les agriculteurs.

Les noms de rue de la ville se réfèrent au gouvernement britannique de 1808, notamment les rues Eldon, Grenville, Bathurst, Liverpool, Buckingham, Chatham et Chandos. Cette dernière a été renommée plus tard Church Street.

Pitt Town a été le site où l'irrigation a été testée pour la première fois en Australie, lorsque Lawrence May l'a testée pour irriguer ses cultures. May a également créé le premier moulin à vent de la ville destiné à la production de farine.

La ville continue son développement grâce à l'Hawkesbury. Elle était le site d'un chantier naval au début du XIXe siècle et disposait d'un service de ferry la reliant à l'extrémité nord du canton et à Wilberforce.

La ville de Pitt Town est reliée au réseau électrique en 1935 et réseau d'eau au début des années 1940. C'est à cette époque que le grand château d'eau toujours debout et toujours en service dans la rue Hall est construit.

Pendant le  et le  siècle, Pitt Town est une communauté rurale isolée, entourée de paysages agricoles, et produisant du maïs, des céréales, puis des oranges. Progressivement, le paysage devient un paysage résidentiel urbain.

Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, une piste d'atterrissage y a été construite. À la fin de la guerre, la piste d'atterrissage a été abandonnée et est devenue un circuit automobile.

En 1987, le centre commercial de Pitt Town est construit, et l'auberge Bird in Hand, épicerie de la ville durant le début du  siècle, devient une auberge publique. La zone commerciale du village de la rue Eldon a été étendue le long de la rue Bathurst en 2006.

L'année 1915 marque le centième anniversaire de la fondation de la ville et 2015 le bicentenaire.

Pitt Town comprend une école publique, deux églises et deux cimetières.

La population était de  selon le recensement de 2011 et est passée à 3 033 en 2016.

Hexbreaker
Will a dark history doom their future together?
New York copper Tom Halloran is a man with a past. If anyone finds out he once ran with the notorious O'Connell tunnel gang, he'll spend the rest of his life doing hard time behind bars. But Tom's secret is threatened when a horrible murder on his beat seems to have been caused by the same ancient magic that killed his gang.
Cat shifter Cicero is determined to investigate the disappearance of one friend and the death of another, even though no one else believes the cases are connected. When the trail of his investigation crosses Tom's, the very bohemian Cicero instinctively recognizes the uncultured Irish patrolman as his witch. Though they're completely unsuited to one another, Cicero has no choice but to work alongside Tom…all the while fighting against the passion growing within.
Tom knows that taking Cicero as his familiar would only lead to discovery and disaster. Yet as the heat between them builds, Tom's need for the other man threatens to overcome every rational argument against becoming involved.
But when their investigation uncovers a conspiracy that threatens all of New York, Tom must make the hardest decision of his life: to live a lie and gain his heart's desire, or to confess the truth and sacrifice it all.

There's something about a man in uniform...😺
There's something about a man in uniform... I'm a big fan of the author's Griffin and Whybourne series, and this book is easily just as good as the books in that series. The characters are complicated and engaging. The mechanics regarding hexes are consistent. But besides all that, historic New York, with its docks and tunnels and rivalry makes you want to read about it more. This author excels at finding forgotten history and using it to weave a story. ... I hope she continues THIS series--I liked it far more than her SPECTRE series, especially if she chooses to keep the same main characters.

Tucks Ridge now has new owners, with Montalto taking over. This Tucks Ridge Turramurra Chardonnay 2016 is one of the single vineyard releases from Tucks, from the Tuerong/Dromana area.
There's a fullness and a broad edge here that gives volume but arguably without the required acidity. A nutty edge and a creamy leesy richness, the layered and biscuity palate has flavour but also a warmth and fat to finish. Lovers of old school Mornington Chardonay will enjoy this.
Best drinking: Now. It will only get fatter. 17/20, 90/100. 13.8%, $50. Would I buy it? No.


As part of Phase 2 of the LTD project, a second in-situ experiment has been excavated and is currently undergoing long-term pressure monitoring. During the recent LTD partner meeting in Mizunami, Japan on 27-28th May 2010 the LTD partners selected H-3, Cl-36, Na-22, Ba-133 and Cs-134 as well as stable Se(VI) for use in the second long-term in-situ diffusion test. Several criteria were used in the selection including length of half-lives, safety aspects, feasibility, results from the first in-situ experiment as well as the need to study of more safety relevant species namely Cl-36 and Se. Other work packages in Phase 2 include mock-up lab tests to study Cl-36, H-3 and Se and the application of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to give insight into heterogeneities of diffusive transport away from a fracture in order to help provide experimental evidence quantifying effective surface area (used for safety assessment).

In Answer to Your SEO Questions - 1st on the List Inc.
Recently a business owner emailed us with some good questions about us as he was obviously searching for a new SEO company to hire. We felt we should share these with everyone as these are the types of questions (and more importantly answers) that will help you find an ethical and experienced SEO provider. You can find more information like this on our complete FAQ page as well as our brand new eBook "14 Questions You Must Ask Before Hiring an SEO".
If you still have questions we'd be glad to help! Send us a quick email to contact@1stonthelist.ca.
How will you determine which keywords will be the target of your optimization efforts?
Will the optimization program include an analysis of site's design, navigation, coding, content, and incoming links?
All of these items are addressed in our detailed Site Audit. The Audit is the very first thing we do on any SEO project. We believe our thorough analysis (most client's audit reports are 60+ pages and include a prioritized list of recommendations) allow us to achieve the best results possible for our clients. Many times we can find issues that have gone unidentified by previous SEO companies.
Do you have a link strategy for your site and the ability to promote the site through content on appropriate third-party sites (i.e. article directories, blogs, video, images)?
Backlinks have changed dramatically in the last few years with Google's strong stance against artificial links. This includes any links you personally pay for or hire an SEO company to build for you. Our approach to help our clients develop unique, useful content that others will naturally link to.
Are your techniques White Hat or Black Hat?
We follow 100% White Hat SEO that you can read more about on our SEO Ethics page. As a side note I don't think that any shady SEO would actually admit to you that they use "black hat" or questionable techniques.
Can you please provide with some references or samples of successful results in the major search engines?
You can read both our Client Results page and our Client Testimonials page. We will gladly provide some relevant testimonials based on the type of project you are interested in once we have determined what your project needs will be.

Because each site and campaign has its own timeline and focus we gladly provide custom pricing once we have had a chance to discuss your project in more detail. In the meantime, here is an overview of our general pricing.
What is your Google Places strategy?
We highly recommend Google+ Local for locally-based businesses who serve customers within their own city. This said we help all clients by claiming the listing, writing optimized descriptions, coaching the client on how to get more reviews and so on.
What offerings do you have in traffic generation or conversion rate optimization?
Traffic generation and conversion rate are part of the strategy we build with you. We have several options and a Conversion Optimizer on staff. Once we know more about what you are looking for we can provide more details.
How will you take care of Panda and Penguin Algorithm?
Panda is Google's algorithm regarding Content on your website. Our optimization services focus on quality, onsite updates including unique and relevant content. Since the last Panda update on May 20 we have seen several of our client's traffic increase because of how we have helped them build great content. If you feel you have been penalized because of Panda we can help strategize on how to generate new, unique content for your site.
Penguin is Google's algorithm regarding Backlinks. Over the years we have avoided link building and focused more on the quality of your own website. As a result our clients have not been affected by Penguin because of linking from our end. If you have a Penguin penalty (you can see a Manual Penalty applied in your Webmaster Tools) we have several different approaches to helping you clean this up, depending on your budget.

Gay Guide Russia
The sauna culture in Russia came from Finland many years ago and is still appreciated as an important form of relaxation. The gay sauna scene in Russia is somewhat limited as gay life is generally hidden. The saunas are often difficult to find. There are a few saunas in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Bring your own condoms and lube when visiting saunas in Russia.The acceptance same-sex partnerships in Russian society is very limited. The federal law against "Propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations" came into force on the 30th June 2013. The law also applies to foreigners caught spreading information, partaking in public demonstrations and supporting homosexuality with fines of up to 100,000 Rubles (around 2,300 Euros), up to 15 days in prison and expulsion from the Russian Federation. Recent incidents have taken place with violence by private individuals, in which attacks on homosexuals and same-sex couples have been reported. For more violent attacks, in particular for public show mutual affection cannot be excluded.

Q: Integral of $\ln(\cosh x)$? $$\int \ln(\cosh x) dx$$
Tried for some time, couldn't get anywhere.
This IS an elementary function, isn't it?
Thanks in advance.

A: $$\ln(\cosh(x))=\ln\left(\frac{e^x+e^{-x}}2\right)=x-\ln(2)+\ln(1+e^{-2x})= x-\ln(2)+\sum_{k=1}^\infty(-1)^{k+1}\frac{e^{-2kx}}k.$$
You can integrate term-wise and get a rapidly converging series (for positive $x$), which is asymptotic to the parabola $\dfrac{x^2}2-\ln(2)\,x+C$.

A: The integral $\int \log(\cosh(x))\,dx$ cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions.  To see this, we enforce the substitution $x=\log(u)$ to obtain
$$\begin{align}
\int \log(\cosh(x))\,dx&=\int \frac{\log(1+u^2)-\log(u)}{u}\,du-\log(2)x \\\\
&=\int \frac{\log(1+u^2)}{u}\,du -\frac12 x^2-\log(2)x \tag 1
\end{align}$$
Next, we let $u=\sqrt{v}$ in the integral on the right-hand side of $(1)$ to reveal
$$\begin{align}
\int \log(\cosh(x))\,dx&=\int \frac{\log(1+v)}{2v}\,dv -\frac12 x^2-\log(2)x \\\\
&=\bbox[5px,border:2px solid #C0A000]{-\frac12\text{Li}_2(-e^{2x})-\frac12x^2-\log(2)x+C}\tag 2
\end{align}$$
which expresses the primitive in terms of the dilogarithm function, a special function given by $\text{Li}_2(x)=-\int_0^x \frac{\log(1-t)}{t}\,dt$.

On 18 February 2007 NOAA/NESDIS/OSO implemented a new schedule for GOES-10 sounder scans during house-keeping periods. The previous sounder schedule had spatial gaps between the hourly scan sectors (above), while the new sounder schedule allows for continuous north-to-south coverage of the entire South American continent (below), while making narrower scans. The GOES-10 satellite has been postioned at 60º W longitude to support the Earth Observation Partnership of the Americas (EOPA) project. The latest GOES-10 sounder and imager products are available on the CIMSS GOES Realtime Derived Products site.

G-Star Raw licences first childrenswear line to Kidiliz
Sarah Ahssen
Nicola Mira
G-Star Raw is launching into childrenswear with the help of Kidiliz. The Dutch denim brand and French group Kidiliz, specialised in premium childrenswear (whose brands include Catimini, Absorba and Kenzo Kids), have signed a licence deal for the design, production and distribution of G-Star Raw's very first children's line.
G-Star Raw's mascot - DR
The collection will be inspired by G-Star Raw's signature items, and will debut with the Autumn/Winter 2019-20 season, targeting young girls and boys aged 3 to 16. Distribution-wise, G-Star Raw's childrenswear will be available in Europe, the Middle East and Africa at department stores, multibrand retailers and Kidiliz stores, on several e-tail sites and on G-Star Raw's e-shop.
This first foray into childrenswear affords new growth opportunities for the denim brand founded in 1989, which last April weathered the departure of creative director Aitor Throup. According to market research firm Euromonitor, the denim market in 2017 was worth $16.2 billion, and suffered a 14% slump in four years. Only Levi Strauss, whose European childrenswear licence Kidiliz lost in July, is seemingly unaffected by the situation, and keeps posting rising revenues.
The Kidiliz group (formerly Zannier) was bought by giant Chinese corporation Semir in early October. In 2017, Kidiliz generated a consolidated revenue of €430 million, of which more than half was produced outside France.

: 2016 Charmail, Haut-Médoc
2016 Charmail, Haut-Médoc
SKU #1465897 92 points Jeb Dunnuck
From a 28.5-hectare vineyard overlooking the Gironde River on the northern side of Saint-Estephe, the 2016 Château Charmail is one of those hidden gems in the vintage that should be snatched up by readers. It's a medium to full-bodied, elegant, classic wine that offers lots of darker fruits (cassis and blackberry), spice, new saddle leather, and leafy herbs as well as a kiss of damp earth. It has terrific balance and is going to keep for 15-20 years. The blend is 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, all brought up in one-third new French oak. A total of 80% of the production went into the grand vin. Drink 2019-2039. (2/2019)
91-92 points James Suckling
Blueberry and blackberry character with hints of stones and minerals. Medium to full body and firm and silky tannins. Wonderful tannin quality here. (4/2017)
The 2016 Charmail has turned out beautifully. Dark cherry, plum, bittersweet chocolate, leather, tobacco and spice give the 2016 notable richness and density. Powerful and very ripe in style, the 2016 has so much to offer. The 2016 is a big wine with tons of character and sheer personality. Drink 2021 - 2036. (AG) (1/2019)
Just north of Saint-Estèphe, this vineyard surrounds a turreted chateau. With a high percentage of Merlot in the blend, this wine has a spicy, juicy character that is given necessary freshness by acidity and crisp black-currant flavors. Drink from 2022. (RV) (4/2019)
41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 11% Petit Verdot. Layers of rich black fruit on the nose, generous and chunky on the palate with chalky tannic texture and relatively low acid. Certainly the riper style of bordeaux, but not in a spoofy way, and the quality of flavours is appetising and savoury. (RH) (9/2019)
91 points Neal Martin for Vinous: "The 2016 Charmail has a generous bouquet with black cherries, boysenberry and discrete floral scents. The oak is nicely integrated here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, a lovely bead of acidity, an impressive precision and persistence on the finish. This Charmail revels in a great Bordeaux vintage – wonderful. Drink 2021-2036." (10/2018)

Cabernet Sauvignon and Blends
- Cabernet Sauvignon has come a long way from its role as a blending varietal, however dominant, in the wines of Bordeaux. Today it is the most planted red varietal in the world. Identified as a descendent of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, the late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon needs to be planted in warmer climates to fully ripen. Its small berries can easily be identified for their distinctive blue color, thick skins and high tannins. And while the varietal has its own definitive characteristics: green pepper-like aromas and black currant flavors among them, it is perhaps most prized for its ability to convey terroir, vintage and winemaking. A relatively new varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon started making inroads into the wines of the Médoc and Graves in the late-18th century. Today it is also dominant in the up-and-coming Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux and can also be found in Southwest France. It is the companion varietal to Sangiovese in Italy's Super Tuscans and is planted all over Europe, stretching to lesser-known winegrowing regions like Russia and Lebanon. In the Americas Cabernet Sauvignon has found champions in every nook and cranny of California and among winemakers in Washington, where it complements plantings of Merlot. In South America, Cab thrives in Chile, but can also be found in smaller amounts in Argentina and even in Mexico.
- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sand lizards to be given much needed chance
Posted 2nd May 2018	by Peter Byrne
A new project is helping one of the UK's rarest reptiles, as 21 sand lizards were given a new home at RSPB Farnham Heath in Surrey
Growing no bigger than 20cm in length, the short-legged reptiles are natives to the UK. They rely on sandy ground in sunny spots to dig their burrows for egg-laying, sheltering and sunbathing.
Females are a sandy-brown colour, with rows of dark markings along their back, while males are easier to spot, with exotic green flanks which are at their brightest during the summer. They are the only egg-laying lizards in the UK; other species give birth to live young.
They were reintroduced to Farnham Heath in 2012 in an attempt to boost the dwindling UK population. However, three years ago, an illegal camper started a fire which destroyed a significant portion of the heathland at Farnham, killing rare wildlife in the process. The damage has been slowly repaired since then, with colonies of sand lizards, field crickets and other species being brought back to safeguard their future.
In partnership with ARC, 21 sand lizards breeding on a nearby site were relocated and released on sandbanks which were created especially for them.
Mike Coates, RSPB Farnham Heath Warden, said: "With their bright, exotic appearance these reptiles would look more at home in a desert or Mediterranean island, but in fact sand lizards are native to the UK. Sadly, their numbers have plummeted in recent decades and are in desperate need of our help."
"In partnership with ARC, we are building a more resilient UK population, by boosting the numbers we have here at Farnham. Over the past six years we've worked to restore and create the perfect heathland habitat for these amazing creatures and we hope this will allow numbers to continue to grow in the coming years."
The heathland at RSPB Farnham Heath provides a home to a wealth of other species too, including field cricket, grass snake, Dartford warbler and ground nesting nightjars.
The UK has lost nearly 80 per cent of its heathland habitat since the turn of the 19th century.
Mike Coates added: "The creation and restoration of lowland heathland at this site will not only benefit the many species we have living here at the moment, but those that may arrive in the future with the impacts of climate change."
Ralph Connolly, Field Officer and Volunteer Coordinator for ARC said: "Habitat fragmentation - in the form of intervening roads or development can be a real barrier for wildlife so reintroductions are a great way of putting native species back on suitable sites that they would be unable to reach on their own. If you are lucky you may see the sand lizards basking on south-facing heather banks."
In the future, the RSPB is aiming to revive sand lizard colonies in several locations, which include RSPB Pulborough Brooks, maximising the chance of success for this special UK resident.

A taste of Italy - Pebbles, Inc.
Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new LO to share using the Chasing Adventure collection. My kids have always been pretty independent. From a young age they wanted to do things for themselves. I snapped these photos of them making pizza when they were about 4 and 6. I miss those days so much!
I started off my LO with the Geo Globe cut file from The Cut Shoppe. The circle and triangles pieces reminded me of a pizza and pizza slices. I backed some random pieces with pattern paper. That woodgrain paper could not have been a better match for my photos! And of course I had to stitch the pieces too!
This collection has so many fun travel themed embellishments. Although we didn't actually go to Italy, we can eat the pizza and pretend we did right?
I then finished the LO by adding stitching to create a border and I splattered some black mist just to tie in all that black.

Yes, I guess I've overlooked statements like that one, which are
UNDECIDABLE not because of some contradiction in the rules but because
of their very nature. Perhaps I was thinking that UNDECIDABLE would
not be appropriate because IRRELEVANT would. Regardless of which way I
was mistaken, I now agree that UNDECIDABLE is sometimes appropriate.


New year, new beginnings. So, time to start up that list of areas we want to improve as 2013 starts. 2012 seems like a blur. I only started this blog last October, but I'm proud of the way it looks and the posts I've been publishing. Thank you to everyone that has read this blog!
I created Style Techie to have a space to express my interests and opinions about style and tech. Both are areas that are not necessarily synonymous, but why be boxed into a single category? I think the best blogs are created when the people behind them feel passionately about what they're blogging about. That's how a community is created – when like-minded people come together and share their interests and what they know.
My New Year's resolutions for 2013 fall into that category – to expand upon my interests and share that experience and what I've learned in this blog.
A blog is only as good as its posts. There is so much content and information out on the web and things get outdated quickly. The only way to grow and keep an audience is to provide the information they're interested in and to keep your readers coming back for more – with content that will engage and enchant them, be it text, photos, videos, graphics, etc. Hence, the importance of having a regularly updated blog.
My goal is to blog at least once a week. I've started several blogs in the past and they've fallen on the wayside because of this or that. Basically, I wasn't very good about staying on top of my posts. I think a blog post a week is an attainable goal and I will try to reach that if not more.
Coding is the backbone of the web. I think it's a good practice to understand basic programming languages. I've blogged about Codeacademy in the past and I think it's an awesome resource to get a general understanding of how to code in the most commonly used programming languages.
However, I have not been the best at going through the lessons on a consistent basis. So, my goal, like blogging, is to complete Codeacademy lessons at least once a week. And, to check out other similar online tutorials. There are so many great, comprehensive tutorials online, from Khan Academy to Coursera. The resources are there; it's time to take advantage of them!
I know, this resolution is really, really broad. And that's basically what a resolution is – to improve oneself. I'm purposefully leaving this one broad because the inspiration to improve an aspect of oneself can spring at any moment and can be something as small as going to bed earlier each night or as big as moving to another country.
So, I'm leaving this one broad to fit whatever may come up during the year that I want to improve on.
Cutting my hair: right now, my hair is an overgrown bob. I want to go for style like Kate Lanphear. Love her style and her hair.
Speak up more: in both my personal and professional life. I'm not shy and I love talking to people. But sometimes, it's still a challenge to be an advocate for myself. And I know that if you don't speak up for yourself, no one will.
What are your New Year's resolutions? Share in the comments below!

Even though you live in sunny California (lucky), weather delays due to snow in the Midwest may still delay your shipments. This is why Installerstore recommends that you track your package online via the shipping carrier during the entire transit. This way you will know of any shipping delays caused by the weather or holiday season.
Our company ships via the US Postal System, Spee-Dee Delivery Service and UPS. Once your package ships, you should receive a tracking number via email. If you do not receive this tracking information by the expected ship date, please contact us and we can manually give you this tracking number.

Doroni H1
Doroni LLC
Boca Raton, Florida, USA
www.doroni.io
Founder and CEO Doron Merdinger started the Doroni company in 2016 because he believes the technology is now here to make the future of traveling clean and wheelless. Merdinger from the start, wants his electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to be available to purchase by the consumer, businesses and governments. "Why limit the future?," says Merdinger, "Allow everyone to buy these (aircraft)."
The two most important goals for the company is passenger safety and durability of the aircraft. Safety is achieved by having multiple redundancies built into the aircraft, from multiple propellers and avionics, various anti-collision sensors and to a whole aircraft ballistic parachute. While today's conventional aircraft are overly complicated, durability is achieved by greatly reducing the amount of moving parts, keeping the aircraft simplified, using a modular design for easier maintenance and using off-the-shelf components
Additional and important goals for the aircraft will be its ability to function in a variety of climates and windy conditions, to make the aircraft very easy to fly (simpler than driving a car), provide fast Urban Air Mobility (UAM), make the aircraft affordable to everyone and have no exhaust pollution. The H1 eVTOL aircraft will have multiple ways for controlling the aircraft including piloting, remote controlled piloting and further into the future, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for autonomous flight.
Instead of using a helicopter or airplane fuselage and then add multiple small electrically powered propellers, the company decided to start with a clean sheet design for their aircraft. The Doroni H1 eVTOL aircraft is not a helicopter or an airplane, it is a new type of aircraft. Doroni has taken the best of all aircraft, designed the aircraft to be as least complicated as possible which increases the safety of the aircraft, reduces with weight of the aircraft, reduces with cost of manufacturing the aircraft, reduces the price of the aircraft and reduces maintenance costs for the aircraft.
Currently, the company has designed a total of four aircraft, including two concept designs, one working prototype and their concept design for their production aircraft. The company has an international team of engineers and designers prototype building, testing and ultimately, designing their production aircraft. The company is building a production prototype but is not available for public viewing. The company has flight tested their full scale prototypes hovering above the ground while tethered.
The Doroni H1 is a two passenger eVTOL aircraft, with a maximum payload of 400 lb (181 kg), which will piloted manually or flown remotely and then in the future, the aircraft have the option to be piloted autonomously. The aircraft has fly-by-wire control systems. The cruise speed of the aircraft is 100 mph (161 km/h) with a range of 60 miles (97 km) and a flight time of 40 minutes. The louvers on the ducted propellers are to keep the passengers and ground crew from being exposed to turning propellers. Also, the louvers are designed to help keep out flying objects. The Doroni H1 is small enough to fit into a two-car garage and can even be towed on a trailer. The H1 has been patented and is a modified Doroni X8 aircraft.
The company states their aircraft will be easy to operate and to fly it, the pilot will only need a simple piloting certification which requires a driver's license and a student pilot certificate for Light Sport Aircraft. Its a smart vehicle with advanced electronics such as Wi-Fi enabled, GPS, laser, cameras, barometer and accelerometer. Doroni has estimated they will be test flying the full scale H1 aircraft in 2024.
On June 10, 2021, Space Florida and the Florida Venture Forum announced that Doroni won the 2nd Place prize of $15,000.00 USD at the all-virtual sixth annual 2021 Aerospace Innovation and Tech Forum. Twenty presenting companies were selected from a pool of more than 84+ applicants by a committee of active Florida venture capital investors. Space Florida provided the Accelerating Innovation prize money totaling $100,000.00 USD.
Doroni is insistent on making sure their aircraft is affordably priced, as their Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is in the range of $135,000.00–$150,000.00 USD. The company will be taking orders for the H1 eVTOL in 2024. The target market for their aircraft are first responders, utility companies, the agriculture industry and specialized areas of flying such as tourism. The aircraft can also be used for air cargo. Doroni has plans for their next eVTOL aircraft to hold four passengers.
Aircraft type: eVTOL passenger aircraft or cargo aircraft
Piloting: Piloted or remote controlled with fly-by-wire control systems, in the future, autonomous flying
Cruise speed: 100 mph (161 km/h)
Max speed: 140 mph (225 km/h)
Range: 60 miles (97 km)
Flight Time: 40 minutes
Propellers: 8 ducted propellers for VTOL flight, 2 propellers per duct and 2 propellers for forward flight
Electric Motors: 10 electric motors
Power source: High energy-density lithium-ion batteries.
Maximum payload: 400 lb (181 kg)
Windows: Canopy over cockpit with windows in each side door
Wings: A high canard and rear high wing, with each wing sporting winglets
Landing gear: Fixed wheeled quadricycle landing gear
Safety Features: Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP), provides safety through redundancy for its passengers and/or cargo. DEP means having multiple propellers and motors on the aircraft so if one or more motors or propellers fail, the other working motors and propellers can safely land the aircraft. The louvers on the ducted propellers are to keep the passengers and ground crew from being exposed to turning propellers. Also, the louvers are designed to help keep out flying objects from hitting the propellers. In addition, the aircraft also has multiple anti-collision sensors, safety emergency landing protocols, an energy dissipating body, redundant avionics systems, air bags and a whole aircraft parachute.

Life Coach: In The Now!
Feel like you always have seven things on your mind? Life coach Richard Blakeborough says a few minutes is all you need to take the pressure down.
Stop the world, I want to get off! Have you ever had the feeling that everything is too fast, too aggressive, too loud … that you would just like things to calm down, maybe even take a mini holiday from the hullaballoo?
Sometimes, when I watch images of life in China or India or even the USA, the pace of their lives frightens me. Surely all that stress and anxiety and activity must be bad for people? It can be!
What can be done to find a retreat, some peace, a little oasis in the sands of life? How can we build up our internal defences to protect us from traumas, issues, the busy stuff life throws at us? I've got some ideas.
The first: mindfulness. This means different things to different people, but for me it means being 'present', or being here in the 'now'.
a mundane task is to be 'totally in the moment'. So, if you choose the washing up, feel the water, feel the plates, smell the soapy water, concentrate on cleaning each individual item slowly, as though the process was your very life's work. Then dry the items slowly, methodically, individually, and place them away (rather than grabbing a handful of forks, wiping them all together and chucking them in the draw).
This practise focuses the mind and helps to clear it of the anxiety that builds up when you are in a stressful situation. It is also about ignoring the past and the future; one you can't change, the other hasn't happened, so focus on what you can do right NOW.
There is an old Zen expression: Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. In other words, be present in the process and actually feel and enjoy the pleasure of simply really doing the job, rather than doing a job while thinking of seven other things.
A second idea to try is meditation. As a younger man, I was fascinated by this eastern practise that I saw on TV and heard about on the news. People did it in India and Himalaya and China. Hippies did it and so did the Beatles. For many people, meditation is seen as a mystical thing and believe it is not for them. So let me share my practise with you and you can decide if it can offer you an oasis of peace. I tend to meditate for 20 to 30 minutes only. Some people meditate for longer, but for me this works well. I also use music to meditate. I have an ipod full of different sounds and noises and I sit or lie still and listen to the music, close my eyes, and focus on the sound.
Sometimes I will lie on my bed, or sit in a chair, or will even (if I am at work and need to bring my heart rate down) sit in the car. The key for me is to close my eyes, immediately blocking out some of the stimulus of the world so I can concentrate on the music. Other people concentrate on their breathing: the rhythmic action of breath in, breath out.
Your mind will throw all sorts of thoughts at you (it's called Drunk Monkey Mind, because it resembles the chattering of an intoxicated monkey), which is fine; just let the thoughts come and then go back to focusing on the breathing or the music or the sounds you hear outside.
Wayne Dyer, a famous spiritual teacher, tells of being in Hawaii, and going out for a meditation session at 6am. As he began, a man throttled up his lawnmower and began to cut his grass. Instead of being annoyed, Dyer used the sound as his focus and continued to meditate. He said it was one of his best sessions ever!
I have even meditated for just three minutes, normally when I feel under pressure such as before an interview or when I am about to do some public speaking. I close my eyes wherever I am and just focus on breathing in and breathing out.
The word inspiration comes from the practise of taking a deep slow breath and then letting it all out. When you breathe you want to place your hands on your tummy to make sure you are breathing deep into your diaphragm, and not just the easier and shallower chest breathing we mostly do.
Five minutes a day of siting still, closing your eyes and breathing deeply into your diaphragm will help you create a world of calm. Longer is even better, but we are all busy, so five minutes is the goal. You may also try this with brain calming music, such as Baroque classical tracks. This practise is free, easy, effective at reducing stress and blood pressure, and calming.
If you meditate for longer than five minutes, just be aware that if you are lying down, you may want to get up slowly and let your mind and body readjust to the fast paced world.
Meditation is also a great way to examine your goals and 'talk' to your subconscious mind. Sometimes, when I am meditating, a thought will pop into my head that is the key to a problem I am working on, or takes me in a different direction towards a goal.
Once you calm the mind, your subconscious, which runs all the functions you don't need to think about like breathing and your heart beating, is given a chance to be 'heard'. This is why many people say they have great ideas when they are in the shower or out walking the dog. It's because another part of your mind gets to work when you are calm and not listening to the Drunken Monkey.
And if the word meditation concerns you, think of the process as being very similar to praying, just without the internal dialogue to your deity.
Consider also that the people of the world's most populated countries, India and China, have meditated for thousands of years to find their inner calm, so there must be something in it!

Clarinet professor helps teach wind students
For the past week, world renowned clarinet player and professor Oskar Espina-Ruiz has been in the Permian Basin, going to different schools to give woodwind players tips on how to be better performers.
Espina-Ruiz, who is now a Professor of Clarinet at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, N.C., has been described as a masterful soloist and has traveled all over the world performing at many different orchestras and ensembles.
Espina-Ruiz has been in the area, courtesy of Cassatt in the Basin.
This was the second time in three years that Espina-Ruiz has made the trip to the Permian Basin.
"I participated two years ago and the first time they had a woodwind faculty in the area and it worked pretty well," Espina-Ruiz said. "Now that the pandemic is rescinding, it was a good time to come down and Cassatt in the Basin brought me back here."

Espina-Ruiz began his tour around the basin last Thursday, visiting Midland High, UTPB, Odessa High, The Midland-Odessa Symphony and Chorale, Trinity School, Compass Academy and Midland Legacy.
He will finish up Wednesday with stops at Midland Legacy and Permian High School.
"I've spent nearly a week working with talented students, working in the different high schools in the area," Espina-Ruiz said. "It's been fantastic."
Espina-Ruiz has been performing the Brahms E-Flat Major Sonata with Pianist Shari Santorelli at a few different stops.
"Santorelli is a fantastic pianist and we've been performing a couple of times," Espina-Ruiz said. "We've had the opportunity to play for students and I give them some feedback when they play for me. Sometimes, we'll talk about the fundamentals of posture and breathing with the entire wind section. It's a little different with some students. Here at the university, I have been coaching chamber music. It's been a lot of fun. It's been great."
On Tuesday, Espina-Ruiz began the day at Compass Academy which included a performance of the E-Flat Major Sonata with Santorelli before moving over to UTPB and then finishing the day at Odessa High School.
"At UTPB, I've been coaching chamber music and have coached two trios," Espina-Ruiz said. "They've been learning their instrument individually and coming together to rehearse. It's always fun to have a new point of view to bring new ideas into the good work that they are already doing. That's been here."

Espina-Ruiz says he's worked on different things at the high schools.
"In the schools, it varies," Espina-Ruiz said. "At Odessa High, I've been working with the entire clarinet section and there are a lot of them. It's a large school. We've worked on some fundamentals and almost at every place, the clarinets are preparing for the regional auditions. They've played for me some of the repertoire of the auditions. … It's a little different at each place but I'm enjoying working with the students."
In the past, Espina-Ruiz has been part of the clarinet faculty at the Puerto Rico Conservatory of Music in San Juan, P.R. from 2009-11 and has been the Artistic Director of the Treetops Chamber Music Society in Stamford, Conn. since 2006.
His career highlights include appearing as a soloist with the St. Petersburg State Academic Symphony in Russia, the St. Petersburg Chamber Philharmonic in Russia and the Bilbao Symphony in Spain.
His chamber music collaborations include the Shanghai, Escher and Calla quartets, the Quintet of the Americas, pianist Anthony Newman, cellist David Geber and Metropolitan Opera Orchestra artists.
He was also featured as a soloist at the 20th Tokyo Summer festival and the European Mozart Academy.
"It's a blessing to have him here and people like him here," Adjunct Music Faculty member at UTPB Philip Hill said. "It's really great that in a small university like this, we can still have great artists come through and help the students in addition to the great faculty that's already here. That's not common for every school to have that. Cassatt in the Basin is a great organization that we have (here) and he's sponsored through a program that's dedicated to enriching this community. We're very blessed to have that."
Hill said he hopes his students took the general sense of what it's like being a musician from their lessons with Espina-Ruiz and getting used to playing without a conductor in an ensemble.
"That's the whole point of the wind ensemble class," Hill said. "They're playing music without a conductor and the younger ones, the freshmen and sophomore, they've been with a conductor since middle school … in a chamber ensemble, I tell them that if there are three people in an ensemble, each of them are 1/3 a conductor and to think of it that way. Professor Espina-Ruiz spent a lot of time helping them with how to stay on cue and different movements that they can make. That's not easy to teach. … A big part of being a musician is moving while you're playing and showing the other ensemble members your intentions."
UTPB freshman and clarinet player Kimberly Lopez from Midland said she learned a bunch from Espina-Ruiz.
"He's helped me a lot with how I played clarinet because I've always played it in a weird way so he taught me how to fix that," said Lopez, who is a graduate of Midland High and majoring in music. "He also taught how to tune my instrument and how to use my air more so he taught me a lot more than what I've learned over the years."

Japan Open: Recapturing Strong Mental Game
30 August, 2022 | feature tournament
TEXT BY DIANNE PIERRE | BADMINTONPHOTO
Lee Yang remains convinced he and partner Wang Chi-Lin are edging their way to their best form despite underwhelming recent results.
The DAIHATSU YONEX Japan Open 2022 handed the world No.4s a tough start as they squared off against compatriots Lu Ching Yao/Yang Po Han in the opening round. A fierce second game saw the reigning Olympic Champions come through 21-12 28-26 in 41 minutes, but the pair have run aground since their success at Tokyo 2022, reaching just one final at the Chinese Taipei Open.
Lee believes the reason for their dip in form lies in his approach.
"I feel like I haven't been prepared psychologically for tournaments," he explained. "It's much more mental than physical. I'm getting the help I need.and I have a great partner in Wang. We motivate each other and are taking things step-by-step. I'm definitely getting better."

Keen on patiently recapturing their spirited displays of 2021, when they couldn't put a step wrong, Wang revealed their goals for the tournament in Osaka.
"We are aiming for the quarterfinals, but the real target is to be healthy and happy. And we are in a good place right now," he said, adding that Lu and Yang gave them a tough fight.
"It's always hard playing your teammates. We know each other's game so well, what they are capable of and we tried to counter that."
Lee and Wang next play Ben Lane/Sean Vendy, who beat home pair Keiichiro Matsui/Yoshinori Takeuchi 21-14 17-21 21-13.
Meanwhile, Brice Leverdez, who stepped up after newly-crowned world champion Viktor Axelsen pulled out for health reasons, defeated Heo Kwang Hee 21-17 9-21 21-16 to progress.
