Le survol habité de Vénus était un projet d'exploration de la planète voisine de la Terre. Étudié par la NASA dans le milieu des , dans le cadre du programme  (AAP), il devait utiliser du matériel provenant du programme Apollo. Le lancement aurait eu lieu le , le survol de Vénus le  et un retour sur Terre le .

Caractéristiques générales

La mission proposée aurait utilisé une fusée  pour envoyer trois hommes survoler Vénus, dans un vol qui aurait dû durer environ un an. Le troisième étage de la fusée, le S-B, aurait été un « atelier humide » semblable à celui envisagé pour la station spatiale américaine , utilisant d'abord son moteur pour injecter le vaisseau sur la trajectoire passant par Vénus, puis qui évacuerait tout le carburant restant afin de servir de foyer pour l'équipage pendant la durée de la mission. Le moteur du module de commande et de service Apollo (CSM) aurait été utilisé pour corriger la trajectoire pendant le transit vers Vénus et le retour sur Terre, et aurait permis la décélération précédant la rentrée du module de commande dans l'atmosphère de la Terre. Afin de libérer plus d'espace dans le carénage du module lunaire  pour le tunnel reliant le CSM au S-B, le moteur du module de service aurait été remplacé par deux moteurs du module lunaire Apollo (LM). Ceux-ci auraient fourni une poussée similaire avec des tuyères plus courtes, et cette conception ajouterait aussi de la sécurité à la mission, grâce à la présence de moteurs redondants.

Les précurseurs au survol de Vénus comprendraient un premier vol d'essai orbital avec un S-B « atelier humide » et un adaptateur d'amarrage basique, et un vol d'essai s'étalant sur un an, en plaçant le S-B sur une orbite quasi-géostationnaire, autour de la Terre.

Une singularité de la mission de survol de Vénus est que, contrairement aux voyages vers la Lune, le CSM aurait été séparé et se serait amarré à l'étage S-B avant sa mise à feu, après avoir effectué une rotation de , ce qui aurait impliqué que les astronautes auraient dû voler « dos à la route », la poussée du moteur les poussant hors de leurs sièges plutôt qu'à l'intérieur. Cela était nécessaire parce qu'il n'y avait seulement qu'une petite fenêtre pour un abandon, par la mise à feu du CSM, pour un retour sur Terre après un éventuel échec du S-B, aussi tous les systèmes du vaisseau nécessitaient d'être opérationnels et contrôlés avant de quitter l'orbite de parking, autour de la Terre, pour voler vers Vénus.

Concrètement, après le survol réussi de cette planète réalisé par les sondes automatiques  en 1962 et  en 1967, il fallut attendre 1980 et les sondes  pour voir un engin américain en orbite autour de cette planète.

Science

La mission aurait permis de mesurer :
 la densité atmosphérique, la température et la pression en fonction de l'altitude, la latitude et le temps ;
 définition de la surface de la planète et de ses propriétés ;
 la composition chimique de la basse atmosphère et de la surface de la planète ;
 les données ionosphériques telles que la réflectivité de radio, la densité électronique et les propriétés des couches de nuages ;
 astronomie optique - mesures UV et IR au-dessus de l'atmosphère de la Terre pour aider la détermination de la distribution spatiale de l'hydrogène ;
 astronomie solaire - UV, rayons X et éventuelles mesures en infrarouge du spectre solaire et surveillance des événements solaires ;
 astronomie radar et radio - observations radio pour cartographier la luminosité du ciel et pour enquêter sur l'énergie solaire, des étoiles et des émissions radio planétaires ; mesures radar de la surface de Vénus et de Mercure ;
 astronomie des rayons X - mesures pour identifier de nouvelles sources de rayons X dans le système galactique et pour obtenir des informations supplémentaires sur les sources précédemment identifiées ;
 données sur l'environnement interplanétaire Terre-Vénus, comprenant les rayonnements de particules, les champs magnétiques et des météorites ;
 données sur la planète Mercure qui sera en alignement planétaire mutuel avec Vénus environ deux semaines après le survol de Vénus.

Mission

Phase A
La phase A du plan aurait lancé en orbite, par une , un S-B atelier humide et un  module de commande et de service Apollo (CSM) standard. L'équipage séparerait le CSM du S-B en faisant sauter les panneaux du carénage (abritant le module lunaire pour les missions lunaires), puis effectuerait une manœuvre de transposition et d'amarrage similaire à celle menée sur les vols lunaires (soit un détachement du CSM de l'étage, suivi d'une rotation de  du CSM et d'un ré-amarrage avec le S-B), en vue de son amarrage avec le module d'amarrage attaché à l'avant du S-B. En option, ils pourraient alors utiliser le moteur du S-B pour les lancer sur une orbite haute avant de ventiler le carburant restant dans l'espace et d'entrer dans les réservoirs de carburant du S-B pour y mener des expériences pendant quelques semaines. Après avoir évalué l'utilisation du S-B comme un habitat à long terme pour les astronautes, ils séparaient le CSM du S-B et retourneraient sur Terre.

Phase B
La phase B testerait le vaisseau de survol de Vénus pendant une mission de longue durée en orbite haute. Une  lancerait un  CSM conçu pour les vols spatiaux de longue durée et un S-B modifié avec le module  requis pour le survol de Vénus réel, et à la suite de la manœuvre de transposition et d'amarrage, le moteur du S-B propulserait le vaisseau spatial sur une orbite circulaire à une altitude d'environ  autour de la Terre. Cette altitude serait suffisamment élevée pour être éloignée des ceintures de radiation de la Terre, en exposant le vaisseau à un environnement semblable à celui d'un voyage vers Vénus, mais assez près de la Terre pour que les astronautes puissent utiliser le CSM pour revenir en quelques heures en cas d'urgence.

La puissance serait probablement assurée par des panneaux solaires semblables à ceux utilisés sur , car il faudrait une grande quantité de carburant pour faire fonctionner pendant un an des piles à combustible. De même, les piles à combustible dans le module de service, utilisées pour fournir de l'énergie sur les vols lunaires, seraient remplacées par des batteries qui fournissent assez de puissance pour la durée du lancement et des opérations de rentrée.

Phase C
La phase C serait le survol réel occupé, utilisant un  CSM et une version actualisée du S-B de survol de Vénus, qui transporterait peut-être une grande antenne radio pour communiquer avec la Terre, et deux ou plusieurs petites sondes qui seraient larguées peu de temps avant le survol pour entrer dans l'atmosphère de Vénus. Le  CSM posséderait des moteurs LM remplaçant les moteurs du module de service, des batteries remplaçant les piles à combustible, et d'autres modifications pour supporter la communication avec la Terre à longue portée et les vitesses de rentrée plus élevées, requises pour la trajectoire de retour, par rapport à un retour depuis l'orbite lunaire.

La mission de la phase C a été prévue pour être lancée fin octobre ou début , lorsque les exigences de vitesse nécessaire pour atteindre Vénus et la durée de la mission qui en résulterait seraient au plus bas. Après un bref séjour en orbite parking terrestre pour vérifier le vaisseau, l'équipage partirait vers Vénus : dans le cas d'un problème majeur lors de l'injection Trans-Vénus, ils auraient à peu près une heure pour séparer le module de commande et de service Apollo du S-B et utiliser le moteur du module de service pour annuler la plupart de la vitesse gagnée lors de la mise à feu de l'étage. Cela les insérerait sur une orbite très elliptique qui les ramènerait normalement sur Terre pour une rentrée deux à trois jours plus tard. Au-delà de ce moment, le moteur du module de service n'aurait pas assez de carburant pour renvoyer le module de commande et de service Apollo sur Terre avant que les batteries du module de service ne manquent de puissance.

Après le succès de la mise à feu du S-B, le vaisseau passerait à environ  de la surface de Vénus, environ quatre mois plus tard. La vitesse de survol serait si élevée que l'équipage n'aurait que quelques heures pour une étude détaillée de la planète. À ce stade, un ou plusieurs atterrisseurs, sondes automatiques, se sépareraient du vaisseau principal et atterriraient sur Vénus.

Pendant le reste de la mission, l'équipage réaliserait des études astronomiques du Soleil, du ciel et de Mercure, dont ils approcheraient à moins de .

Postérité

Fin 2014, la NASA a rendu public un nouveau projet de mission habitée dans l'atmosphère de Vénus, baptisé  (HAVOC). Il s'agirait d'envoyer un véhicule qui stationnerait pendant  en orbite basse avec à son bord deux astronautes. La NASA évoque également la possibilité d'y installer une colonie.

« Is the healthcare industry entering the perfect storage storm?
The news that council chiefs are set to quit amid budget and pension plan changes (Financial Times, Council Chiefs Set to Quit as Cuts Bite, 11 November issue) brings into the spotlight once more the issue of attracting the best and most qualified staff to senior roles when remuneration alone will not cut it.
With all parties looking to local government to take additional social and political responsibilities while simultaneously saving money it is quite clear that the political and business landscapes have changed. If public sector organisations are to attract and retain the best talent to cope with these changes they must realise that the manner in which they attract and retain their employees must change with them. The good news is technology can bridge this gap.
Public sector organisations today are increasingly under pressure to deliver top quality service with fewer and fewer resources. A key way to achieve this it to increase employee knowledge and maximise efficiency, so service to customers can be delivered quickly and effectively each and every time. Yet, attracting and retaining talented staff with the necessary aptitude and experience can be very challenging, particularly when budgets are tight and there is pressure to reduce costs. Top quality employees are a hot commodity and in the current economic climate, alternative incentives should be considered when a hefty pay hike or an attractive pension isn't an option.
For instance, due to the ready availability of flexible working technologies such as videoconferencing or remote access to office functionalities, staff can better balance work and home life, so it can shift from being a -nice to have" to a -must have". Especially when budgets are tight, organisations need to show they care about work/life balance, or that talent could go elsewhere. And without the right staff, or the right technology to retain them, everyone loses.
In addition to enabling employees to balance their home and work lives, flexible working technology can also ease the pain of the talent drain by providing organisations with the ability to staff important roles with non-traditional employees such as remote or part-time workers and retirees. This can translate to improved competition with the private sector as well as better service, faster issues resolution and more responsiveness overall.
What about costs? Fortunately, many of the technologies that can make flexible working a reality are already in place in most organisations. By combining the existing infrastructure such as VoIP with newer technology like Unified Communications, employees can work as effectively remotely as they do in the office. Unified Communications (UC) technologies such as presence or extensions to mobile applications which enable remote staff to work seamlessly regardless of location, could enable employees to work a rolling set of hours and equip them with the ability to work from anywhere they happen to be, effectively extending business hours as experienced by customers and partners without requiring employees to work a single extra minute.
Furthermore, employees are not the only ones that benefit from flexible working policies. Customers too see the benefits, through increased access to experienced, knowledgeable staff. Flexible working can allow public sector organsations to live the dream of first call resolution, becoming even more efficient with a limited set of resources.
The social and political landscapes are changing, but so is the way we work. Through increased flexibility, the public sector can become more competitive and efficient, so it can better fulfill its function – to serve.

China Never Investigated Tainted Heparin, Says Probe
By Alicia Mundy
Updated July 22, 2010 12:01 am ET
WASHINGTON—The Chinese government didn't pursue an investigation into contaminated heparin sent to the U.S. in 2007 and 2008, despite repeated requests from the U.S. for help, according to a congressional probe.
Two House Republicans said Food and Drug Administration officials recently told them that the agency has been "severely hampered" by the lack of cooperation from China in finding those responsible. Contamination in the widely used blood-thinner was linked to at least 81 deaths in the U.S.
The probe by Reps. Joe Barton and Michael Burgess, both of Texas, comes as FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg prepares for her first trip to China since assuming her post last year.
"It is shocking to find out two years after Chinese-made heparin was killing Americans, the Chinese government still has done no investigating to find out why," said Mr. Barton, the top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. He called on Ms. Hamburg to air the issue with Chinese officials.

Your draconic heritage manifests in a variety of traits you share with other dragonborn.
Ability Score Increase: Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1.
Age: Young dragonborn grow quickly. They walk hours after hatching, attain the size and development of a 10-year-old human child by the age of 3, and reach adulthood by 15. They live to be around 80.
Alignment: Dragonborn tend to extremes, making a conscious choice for one side or the other in the cosmic war between good and evil. Most dragonborn are good, but those who side with evil can be terrible villains.
Size: Dragonborn are taller and heavier than humans, standing well over 6 feet tall and averaging almost 250 pounds. Your size is Medium.
Draconic Ancestry: You have draconic ancestry. Choose one type of dragon from the Draconic Ancestry table. Your breath weapon and damage resistance are determined by the dragon type, as shown in the table.
Breath Weapon: You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation.
When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level.
Damage Resistance: You have resistance to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestry.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the development of theories about dinosaur feathers, following discoveries of fossils which show evidence of feathers. All dinosaurs were originally thought to be related to lizards - the word 'dinosaur' was created from the Greek for 'terrible lizard' - but that now appears false. In the last century, discoveries of fossils with feathers established that at least some dinosaurs were feathered and that some of those survived the great extinctions and evolved into the birds we see today. There are still many outstanding areas for study, such as what sorts of feathers they were, where on the body they were found, what their purpose was and which dinosaurs had them.

World's Oldest Pretzels
Regensburg, Germany
By ERIC A. POWELL
Archaeologists digging at the site of the future Museum of Bavarian History in Regensburg, Germany, expected their most exciting finds would date to the Roman era, but they were in for a surprise. In an eighteenth-century privy, they discovered the carbonized pieces of two pretzels. "We never have the opportunity to recover baked goods," says government archaeologist Silvia Codreanu-Windauer. "Generally they were eaten, or, if burned, they were fed to dogs or chickens." She speculates that in this case an absentminded baker or his apprentice forgot the pretzels in the oven and was so disgusted at burning them that he threw them in the toilet. It seems to have happened more than once. In the same privy, the team found the charred remains of three bread rolls and a fragment of a crescent-shaped local delicacy called a kipferl.

Smith's Fantasy Minimum Wage Numbers
Owen Smith has hit back at Guido's story from earlier by producing the above graphic claiming his proposed minimum wage would be higher than the Tories'. Unfortunately for Oily this raises more questions than it answers. First, Smith's team have confirmed their numbers are dependent on him becoming Prime Minister this year. Not sure how he plans to do that unless he is going to launch a coup on Downing Street. Second, he appears to have pulled these fantasy figures out from nowhere. What on earth does "well over £10" mean? Do they not have an actual number? How have these vague figures been costed? How much will that increase the deficit via the public sector wage bill? Guido has asked the Smith campaign and received no answers…

3 On A YA Theme: Girls Who Run
Kelly Jensen Aug 6, 2014
This week's theme — girls who run — opens itself to so many titles, and I could dig well into the backlist to pull out a wealth of older YA that fit. But I'm going to stick to two titles that came out this year and one title that's a little older, but it was written by a well-known YA author. The girls in these stories run because they either run competitively or it's a way for them to clear their minds. In one of these books, the running is less about the runner and more about why she's doing it.
Miranda Kenneally's Breathe, Annie, Breathe is about a girl named Annie who happens to hate running. But as a means of working through grief and guilt over a recent breakup that was followed by the death of the boy she broke up with, she's going to run in a marathon he had been preparing for to honor his memory. Through her training, Annie begins to fall for a new boy and maybe running is much more to her than a physical activity.
Breathe, Annie, Breathe is part of Kenneally's "Hundred Oaks" series. The books within the series can all be read as stand alone companions to one another and in any order.
Take a second to appreciate how much the cover for Laurie Halse Anderson's Catalyst appears to have inspired Breathe, Annie, Breathe. Girls who are exhausted from their running take a break and lay their arms across their bodies.
Anderson's novel follows Kate, a straight-A student with a passion for math, science, and long-distance running. She's taken on a lot of responsibility with her family following the death of her mother, and much of her stress comes not just from that, but also from waiting to hear whether she's gotten into MIT — it's her dream school. Things only get tougher and stranger, though, when Kate's nemesis ends up moving in with her and her family. Everything she thought was perfect isn't, not quite, and Kate's forced to face these challenges she didn't expect to head-on.
Fun fact: this book is set in the same place as Anderson's classic Speak.
If you were to take one part of Kenneally's novel — say the part about not being a runner at the beginning of the story — and you were to take one part of Anderson's story — say the part about a girl waiting to hear back from her dream college — you'd find yourself with Rachel Toor's On The Road to Find Out.
Alice just learned she didn't get into the college she really wanted to, so she sets out on her first ever run. It's her way to not sit around complaining or feeling sorry for herself. Over the course of the story, she discovers the highs and lows of running and that running, like life, isn't always through a clear or straight course. Bonus: a first romance.

Funny or Die's NYC offices are dead

Chris Kattan: My sex life destroyed friendship with Will Ferrell
Chris Kattan claims Lorne Michaels pressured him to have sex with a director
Will Ferrell's 'Anchorman' saved Boots Riley's life
Will Ferrell, Molly Shannon's Cord & Tish to return for Royal Wedding
Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's pioneering Funny or Die website is closing its New York offices, Page Six has exclusively learned.
We're told staff at the nearly 10-year-old comedy site's East Coast operation were informed that they could either relocate to its Los Angeles offices or be laid off.
Insiders tell us that of the 13 staff in the NoMad location, three have decided to leave the company, and the remaining 10 staffers chose to ship out to LA.
Industry site Deadline reported in August that Funny or Die — which has featured videos on its site starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Jim Carrey and Johnny Depp, and also produced the Emmy-winning "Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis" and Billy Eichner's "Billy on the Street" — was also shuttering its Silicon Valley office and laid off 37 staffers, mainly "on the tech side."

The move came shortly after production exec Mike Farah was promoted to CEO. At the time, Farah said: "As we move into the future, we've decided to double down and refocus on making the kind of content that made us a household name in the first place. To accomplish that, we've had to reorganize and reduce our staff."
In 2015 the site expanded by opening a Washington, DC, office and in 2016 hired David Litt, a former President Obama speechwriter who was also lead joke writer for the former POTUS' White House Correspondents' Dinner speeches.
We're told that many among the New Yorkers who have had to move their families cross-country are less than thrilled with the sudden upheaval. The three members of staff who elected to leave the company were designers, we're told, and the site still has a sales office in the city. That team moved into a smaller space on Wall Street.
The site — which Ferrell and McKay launched in 2007 with Ferrell's legendary "The Landord" sketch, starring McKay's 2-year-old daughter, Pearl, as a ferocious landlord — initially moved from a Broadway space to a bigger office in NoMad in 2014.

New healthcare regs target Medicare fraud
by Ben Goad - 01/06/14 6:26 PM ET
Hundreds of pages of draft regulations issued Monday would overhaul the federal Medicare Advantage and Part D prescription drug programs, tackling fraud and saving an estimated $1.3 billion over five years, the Obama administration said.
The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) contends the sweeping proposed rule would strengthen consumer protections, while both cutting costs and improving care for enrollees in the programs.
The changes to the troubled programs would take effect in 2015. The regulations, totaling 678 pages, will be published in Friday's edition of the Federal Register, starting the clock on a 60-day public comment period that will end on March 7.
If finalized, the regulations would bring physicians under greater federal oversight by demanding that any doctors or "non-physician practitioners" who write prescriptions under Part D program must be enrolled in Medicare.
The move to rein in doctors follows published reports finding fraudulent and abusive prescribing practices.
The proposed rule would also require greater cost savings for beneficiaries, the administration maintains, and would enact a provision of the Affordable Care Act requiring that sponsors of Medicare Advantage Part D plans report and return overpayments.
If enacted, the regulations would save roughly $1.3 billion over the five years stretching from 2015 to 2019, according to CMS.

Secret of the Scare is one of the main story missions in the Monsters University Play Set.
This mission is initiated by speaking to the grey mustachioed triclops monster near the clock tower at MU after completing the Time for a Rescue mission. Find the pedestal with the bronze statue on top and the eyeball on the front. "Scare" the statue to activate it and open the gate back to the MU campus.


Throughout the Orient, especially in India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Burma (all ancient gemstone producers), special importance has always been given to certain combination gemstone talismans. the most well-known of these are the NAVA-RATNA (9 gems), SAPTA-RATNA (7 gems), PANCHA-RATNA (5 gems), and the TRI-RATNA (3 gems).
For countless centuries, the cultures of India and South-East Asia have revered the beautiful 9 gem talisman known as "Navaratna". Combining the gemstones representing each of the nine planets in sidereal astrology, the navaratna is esteemed by ancient tradition as a bringer of good fortune through its favorable influence on the planetary energies. The most well-known design places a ruby, representing the sun, in the center encircled by the other 8 planetary gemstones, diamond for Venus, pearl for Moon, coral for Mars, hessonite for Rahu (the moon's ascending node), blue sapphire for Saturn, cat's-eye for Ketu (the moon's descending node), yellow sapphire for Jupiter and emerald for Mercury.
kurvantu sarve mama su prabhatam"
"I invoke the Supreme Deity who is creator, maintainer, and destroyer of the universe, and the deities presiding over the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and the shadow planets Rahu and Ketu - May they bestow their benediction upon me."
The seven jewels talisman, combines the gems which correspond to the planets ruling the seven days of the week. Every day of the week is governed over by a specific planet. In many languages the days are named directly after the planet that rules over them. In English we must simply examine the Anglo-Saxon origin of the names of the days to see the correspondence. Sunday (Sun), Monday (Moon), and Saturday (Saturn) still remain intact. In practically every other language from Hindi to Thai from Sanskrit to French the weekdays are directly named after their ruling planet. The Sapta-ratna should be used as 7 different rings or pendants to be worn successively on each corresponding day of the week. This practice is still popular in India, especially among astrologers, royal families and wealthy people.
The Collection pictured above belongs to a private collector...it is seven planetary rings set in an exotic wooden box with a solid gold name plate using solid gold screws. The plate says, "Sri Sapta Ratna." We can custom make special collections of flawless gems such as pictured above anytime on request. Price (investment) is up to YOU!
(five jewels) combines the gemstones which represent a balance of the five (5) material elements recognized throughout Asia, i.e., EARTH (Bhumi), WATER (Jala), FIRE (Agni), AIR (Vayu) & SPACE (Akasha). Thus earth is represented by the influence of the planet Mercury in emerald or other natural green gems, water by the influence of the Moon in natural pearl or moonstone, fire by the influence of the Sun in ruby or other natural red gems, air by the influence of the planet Jupiter in yellow sapphire or other natural yellow gems, and space by the influence of the planet Venus in diamond or other natural colorless gems.
A talisman believed to balance the 3 constituents of one's material body, crudely translated as marrow, mucus and air. These are represented by the 3 primary cosmic colors in nature -- red, yellow and blue, or ruby, red coral and yellow sapphire.
In conclusion, we must again point out that gemstones selected for astrological and talismanic use should be flawless (eye clean), as defective stones are considered a source of misfortune. According to Vedic authority, the qualities of fire (color) and water (clarity) are the most important factors in choosing gems which are pure transmitters of benign planetary influence.

Armando (A.J.) Conti founded Basis Audio in 1984 due to dissatisfaction with both the engineering level and the execution quality of analog playback equipment at that time. From the first Debut turntable to ship in 1986 to the current products, exemplary levels of fit and finish have always been a primary goal and obvious in the final products. Great lengths and many hours were taken to polish the acrylic surfaces of the first 12 Debuts, with Conti polishing all acrylic himself in his garage. Polishing has been both a priority and challenge over the life of Basis. We have experimented with numerous fabrics for polishing cloths and numerous materials for polishing media, wet and dry, from many industries including optical, abrasive, automotive, plastics, and aviation. We have blended our own polishing compounds and in 2000 reached a level of polishing compound which satisfied us. In 2003 we found a particular microfiber fabric which exhibited the lowest abrasion of any fabric we had ever tested. This fabric is so effective and gentle that we use it on multi-thousand dollar optics with no fluids of any type. Today this fluid and cloth are used each day in the production of Basis Audio products. You can now maintain your Basis product, and restore it to "as new" condition, with the identical products we use to polish your Basis product before final packing: "Magic Potion" polishing compound and "Golden Touch" polishing cloths. Full instructions, based on our methods at Basis Audio, are supplied with each.

Press Center Web Exclusives 2021 Rapper Bryson Tiller Transports Audiences To Virtual Worlds during Livestream
Rapper Bryson Tiller Transports Audiences To Virtual Worlds during Livestream
Xite Labs utilized the disguise Extended Reality (xR) workflow, powered by a gx 2c media server and rx real-time rendering platform, to bring to life a myriad of virtual worlds in Unreal Engine for rapper Bryson Tiller's "Trapsoul World Series" live streamed concert.
Shot at Xite Labs' xR stage in LA, the concert accentuated the artist's unique musical vibe for fans around the world watching at home. The immersive livestream presented Tiller in a series of six different worlds linked by a narrative flowing through the songs. Xite Labs was responsible for the xR content for 14 different songs performed in four virtual "worlds" with distinct appearances and themes.
For this unique immersive experience, Xite turned to its in-house workflow, featuring a disguise gx 2c media server as the primary controller of the xR environment, while a dedicated disguise rx machine was used to run the Unreal Engine scenes via disguise RenderStream. Front-plate elements were created in Notch to further link Tiller into each of the unique worlds.
These included a virtual lounge that fell away to reveal a world of galaxies, nebulas and spaceships, a time theme with a mountain desert landscape and a flight through a moonlit sky, guerrilla warfare transforming into a neon jungle as well as stark hallways with bold, flat lighting, color-changing walls and silhouettes. Throughout, Tiller appeared to perform on a moving platform, which served as the anchor point transporting him from one otherworldly environment to another.
"I have not seen anything done in xR that was quite as diverse and complex as this. And the fact that it was shot on our smaller volume in such a short timeframe still blows my mind," said Greg Russell, creative director at Xite Labs.
An unforeseen benefit that the disguise xR workflow brought to the production team was the ability to film Tiller wearing a shiny, black reflective jacket for the interlude performances.
"This would have been incredibly challenging on a green screen and require a great deal of time technically for lighting and ensuring the separation of light fields. But xR made this possible, and it looked amazing," added Vello Virkhaus, creative director at Xite Labs.
The ambitious production clocked in over 400 hours of development per nine Unreal Engine artists across ten weeks and over 200 hours per two Notch artists in order to bring the virtual environments to life.
"From the top-down the livestream concert went exceedingly well and got great feedback," said Russell. "Bryson understood the technology and intuitively knew where to be on the stage and how to be in and out of the lighting."
Joining Xite Labs on the project was creative studio 92 Group, which provided the overall show direction and art direction, while production was done by HPLA.
"On the production level, it was the first time Director Mike Carson, DP Russ Fraser and Producer Amish Dani had done xR," Russell said. "With film and music video people coming into our world, it was a very challenging job from a production standpoint because we were basically teaching them the xR workflow on the job. But once they started putting the pieces together they realized its value."

Junior Adventures Group (JAG) proposed to join with Bain Capital Private Equity's Camp Australia
Andrew Stokes
SYDNEY, June 1, 2017 - Bain Capital Private Equity today confirmed that portfolio company Camp Australia plans to join with Junior Adventures Group (JAG) to create a national, best-in-class out-of-school hours care operator.

As well as adding Camp Australia to its portfolio, Bain Capital last year acquired a majority stake in early childhood and development group Only About Children (Oac) in Australia.
"Both JAG and Camp Australia have a reputation for delivering high-quality care and services to children across Australia, and both have deep ties in the community," said Ed Han, a Managing Director of Bain Capital Private Equity. "If the combination receives approval, we look forward to partnering closely with the management teams of both companies to create an even stronger combined company that provides a vital service to so many Australian families."
Financial details of the proposed arrangement are confidential.

A simple premise; a bold promise
To present one story per day, every day—providing exceptional authors with exposure and avid readers with first-rate fiction.
Today's Story by Andy Henion
The Events at Gate A46
I am sitting in the terminal munching a five-dollar soft pretzel and watching a financial broadcast I cannot understand when a woman with long dark hair and freckled skin asks me to watch her bags. Without waiting for an answer, she sets her matching cloth suitcases next to my duffel and makes a grimace signifying extreme discomfort.
"Can't hold it," says the woman, and smiles the smile of women who are used to getting what they want.
She gets what she wants.
I watch the woman breeze away, focusing first on the wonderful fit of her designer jeans and then on the sway of her coal black hair as she disappears into the parade of travelers. There's a sign for the men's restroom across the way, but nothing for women. I assume it is farther down.
I look down at the bags, which are red and black plaid, and wonder if I have just committed a crime. Or is it more a rule of thumb? The bags are stenciled with the initials AJR and smell of perfume. I wonder how many freckled terrorists are planting bombs in monogrammed bags these days. I decide on the spot that we have gone too far as a society and that I will apply a modicum of reason to the present situation.
"You're not supposed to watch other people's suitcases."
The speaker is a stick-limbed Asian boy of 10 or 11 sitting catty-corner from me. A handheld video game rests in his lap and his parents appear to be in the adjacent aisle, with their backs to us.
"She just has to pee," I say.
"Doesn't matter. You could go to jail."
"I don't think so. It's more of a rule of thumb."
The Asian boy squints at me. "I'm not talking about your thumb, mister. There could be improvised explosive devices in those suitcases."
"I doubt it. They smell so nice. Do you want to smell them?"
He squints at me some more. "I'm telling the cops."
With this, the boy's mother turns, smiles at us and turns back around. I get the sense she does not speak English but did recognize the word "cop."
"There's no need for that," I tell the boy. "She's my wife."
"Is not. You don't even know her."
"Sometimes it feels that way," I say, and wink.
"She wouldn't marry a guy like you."
I force a smile. "Sometimes we get lucky, kid."
"Then where's your wedding ring?"
"Don't wear it when I travel. Good way to lose it."
"You're lying," says the boy.
"Pretzel?" I say, holding out the half-eaten snack.
"I'm telling the cops." He stuffs the video game in a backpack and begins to rise from his seat.
"No, no," I say, unzipping one of the cloth suitcases. I reach in and pull out a handful of undergarments. I can't help but notice a black lacy thong, thin as a pencil. "Uh, see? No bombs."
The woman is back. "What the hell are you doing?" she says, and hits me in the face with her handbag. It's a large handbag, with hard objects inside. She swipes at the undergarments while continuing her assault.
I relinquish the undergarments and bury my head in my arms. From this position I can see the boy and his mother nodding.
"Married for sure," says the mother, in perfect English.
Suddenly two airport police officers are separating us and asking in authoritative tones as to what, exactly, is going on here.
"This man—" says the woman, then stops and looks at me. I see the recognition in her lovely face that she may have violated the law, or at least a rule of thumb. I fold my arms and cock an eyebrow, waiting, as a husband would do, for an explanation.
"This man is incorrigible," she says, throwing up her arms. "John, you're absolutely incorrigible. How dare you say those things about my mother."
"If the shoe fits," I say, and the woman hurls a thong. A nice touch. I remove it from my face, recognizing the lavender scent.
The officer in charge, an older man with stripes on his collar, jabs a finger at me.
"Make this right and get this mess cleaned up," he says. "Unless you want your day to go from bad to worse."
I go to the woman, showing the officer that I can, in fact, be the bigger person.
"Sorry, babe," I say, and reach out and take her by the shoulders. They are dainty shoulders, and within them I feel tension. I lean in. The woman is shaking her head ever so slightly, lips pursed in warning, but the truth is we have to sell this thing, and deep down I think she knows it.
So I lean the rest of the way in and press my lips to hers, lingering, as a husband would do, and wait for the tension to ease.
Andy Henion's fiction has appeared, online and in print, in Hobart, Word Riot, Thieves Jargon, Ink Pot, Spork, Monkeybicycle and many other pubs. He lives in Michigan and flies occasionally out of Detroit Metro Airport. He will not watch your bags.

HOME PRODUCTS TEMPERATURE THERMAX
The Thermax Irreversible Temperature Recording Label is a series of temperature test labels that will permanently record the highest temperature reached by the label.
These self-adhesive labels consist of a series of temperature-sensitive elements sealed between heat-resistant substrates with transparent windows. Each element changes color distinctly as its rated temperature is exceeded. The changes are irreversible, providing a temperature history of the surface being monitored. The labels will not de-laminate when removed for reference and can be attached to an inspection report to serve as a permanent record.
The temperature-sensitive elements are phase-change indicators which use the sharply defined melting points of a series of specially purified organic chemicals to give the unique, high precision, color change effects. Each temperature element uses a different chemical compound and is made separately by applying a coating containing the chemical to a special absorptive paper substrate. When the rated temperature is exceeded, the chemical melts and is absorbed by the substrate, causing a permanent color change. Up to ten elements can be combined together on a single label.

Thermax® Labels used on Race Brake Calipers
While the car is racing and trying to reach maximum pace, the brakes are often applied hard. The friction of the pads against the rotating discs then transfers heat to the calipers.
If the temperature reaches 250°C, the brake fluid may lose its non-compression status causing brake fade. If this occurs, the brake fluid should be replaced at the next pit stip.
The caliper is an ideal place for the Thermax® Label, as it provides a clear view of the brake fluid temperature.

While working at maximum performance, the top half of the engine must be kept within safe working limits to prevent damage. Water moves around the engine to cool the components. However, this can cause boiling temperatures.
When the car is at the pit-stop, Thermax® Labels can be used to record the water temperature while in motion, giving a quick reference for the mechanics. These labels can also be used on radiator and cylinder heads.
Thermax® labels used on Shock Absorbers – Competition Shock Absorbers on Rear Axle
Modified exhaust pipes, especially on turbo-charged cars, produce much hotter air that can possibly overheat the nearest shock absorber.
This can affect the vehicles handling and reduce up to one quarter of the car's suspension stability. Placing Thermax Labels on the lower casing will give a clear indication if this is happening during a race.
