Soichi Terada on Far East flavours, Video Games and the House revolution
By Baptiste Girou
2015 was the year of resurrection for legendary Ape Escape composer and Far East Recording founder Soichi Terada. His rousing blend of fast-paced breakbeat and breezy house morphed into new-era classic club anthems, attracting a huge amount of club plays in the wake of grade A selectors such as intrepid genre-buster Ben UFO and peppy disco head Hunee.
Amsterdam's pacesetting crew Rush Hour made no mistake in enlisting the latter to take care of the now time-honoured 'Sounds From The Far East' compilation, supervising the track collation process and overall shaping.
With his eagerly-awaited debut live performance at Dekmantel on the horizon, we took the chance to find out more about Soichi's gigantic career, from Far East Recording early hours to his experience in the game industry to his recent return to grace.
Interviewed by Baptiste Girou
"I think it was 1987 or 1988. The DJs were playing music
that I was not familiar with. I think that was the
first time I heard and experienced house music"
Let's rewind a bit and go back to the late '80s. You're studying computer science and electric organ at the University of Electro-Communications. How's been your first incursion into the house realm ?
One day I went to a private party organized by a friend of friend. It was at the 2nd floor of a Chinese restaurant in Tokyo. I think it was 1987 or 1988. The DJs were playing music that I was not familiar with. I think that was the first time I heard and experienced house music.
You started the Far East Recording venture back in 1988, after self-releasing the two-part 'Max Mess Mix', a pair of highly limited EPs that marked your debuts in production. How and when did the idea of setting up your own imprint come about?
Manufacturing our own vinyl records meant "representation" to me in those days. Almost like doing a mixtape for promotion, but in a different way. And I was really fascinated to make records that were played by DJs, because electronic music always sounded better from a 12 inch vinyl. By the time, it was still the very early days of house music.
"We liked to listen to this new style of music, not only
because of the way it sounded but also because of how
the tracks were produced. We saw new possibilities,
it was a revolution for dance music"
What's been your first introduction to the US sound?
I remember the DJs at the private party I mentioned before were playing the latest records, including tracks from different cities in the United States. That party introduced me to house music, and US house music in particular. I was really inspired by the sounds.
How did the Japanese audience respond to this new style of music and overall aesthetics? How were the first Far East records received?
We liked to listen to this new style of music, not only because of the way it sounded but also because of how the tracks were produced. We saw new possibilities, it was a revolution for dance music in a new style, made with casual digital electronic instruments that everyone could buy. However, the first release from Far East Recording got no reaction in Japan, nor outside. We still had the reputation of doing something weird.
"I was mainly influenced by the new technology in digital
instruments, and new possibilities to create tracks
with hardware samplers like AKAI S900 or S1000"
Who were your biggest influences back then?
Now I just can't specify a particular DJ, producer or label. I was mainly influenced by the new technology in digital instruments, and new possibilities to create tracks with hardware samplers like AKAI S900 or S1000.
What is your musical background? What were your parents listening at home?
I loved to play popular electronic organ music when I was a kid, before university. I used to play Beatles or '60-70s screen music from music sheets, without hearing the original songs. Later I got some training of music dictation and learned the basic music theories at the Yamaha Popular Music School.
My father also liked to play organ, just for fun, and listened to classical music a lot. My mother was more into theater and used to go there a lot.
"It started with the director of Ape Escape hearing my track 'Sumo Jungle'.
He then offered me to make the soundtrack for the game in 1998"
You've scored the soundtrack to no less than 7 episodes of the classic Ape Escape videogame series – which has been the trigger to wider recognition for you. How were your first steps in the industry ?
I think the first Ape Escape episode was the trigger to wider recognition indeed. It reached many people. It started with the director of Ape Escape hearing my track 'Sumo Jungle'. He then offered me to make the soundtrack for the game in 1998.
A few years earlier, around 1995, I started to become addicted to Jungle and Drum'n'Bass music, and made the remix 'Sumo Jungle' from the Hawaiian song 'Tengoku Kara Kaminari (Thunder From Heaven)' and released it on Far East Recording as a pirate remix. Some years later I got the formal permission from the original publisher in Hawaii and paid some royalties.
"I have always loved to play video games. So I can say
it was part of my passion, just as much as the other
more club and dance floor orientated tracks"
Were you clearly limitating video-game scores to a functional thing, or was it part of the same creative momentum than your more clubby tracks?
I have always loved to play video games. So I can say it was part of my passion, just as much as the other more club and dance floor orientated tracks. Of course, there are some limits when composing and producing music for video games, because of the functional role and also director's dicisions. It's challenging to work within specific boundaries and see how far you can go.
What was your approach to production for these games? I guess there was quite a strict guideline to follow… Were you still free to explore the grounds you wanted to explore?
Basically, I was following the guidelines that described the role of music for every game and the different levels, keeping the director's opinion in mind. The director of Ape Escape was loving some bass music, so I was very lucky with that, to make some experimental soundtracks for video games. I was hoping to be totally free and explore any style, but it really depended on who the director was for every specific games.
"Rush Hour feels like a second family, and also my
agency Octopus is based in Amsterdam. It all fits very
naturally and we have a good vibe together"
Dutch crews have played quite an essential role in your return to grace within the last couple of years – with Crème reissuing your 'Sunshower EP', alongside Nami Shimada, and Amsterdam's flagship Rush Hour collating some of your finest tracks on the must-have 'Sounds From The Far East' compilation. How did you experience that booming revival?
I have a good relationship with the Dutch music scene as a result, and I am very thankful and grateful for that. Rush Hour feels like a second family, and also my agency Octopus is based in Amsterdam. It all fits very naturally and we have a good vibe together, especially while touring and performing with friends like Hunee, Antal, Interstellar Funk and San Proper.
I am also wondering why my 'ancient' tracks have been embraced by so many young people now, many years after producing them. But obviously I am so happy to have the opportunity to perform them live in many different countries now.
"Someone from the audience spilled water over my computer
and midi keyboard. After 5 minutes all the music stopped [...]
When the sound came back the crowd was super excited"
What's been the starting point to this compilation project? How did you and Hunee proceed for the selection? Was it a hand-in-hand kind of work?
Hunee contacted me in 2014 for re-issuing some tracks, then I also sent him some tracks that he didn't have yet. After some emailing back and forth the final tracklist was finished, and he introduced me to Antal from Rush Hour. Hunee was in charge of the whole production of this project and it was a honor to work with him.
You recently got to tour the US. What's your best memory from these dates in America?
This was both my best and worst memory in the US, someone from the audience spilled water over my computer and midi keyboard. After 5 minutes all the music stopped. I pulled out the emergency kit from my bag with an announcement about what was going on.
When the sound came back the crowd was super excited. I realized that the problems on stage sometimes can be very fun for the audience, and that particular situation in Los Angeles also added some extra energy to the party.
Next this Summer is the mighty Dekmantel festival, where you'll play a live set surrounded by your Dutch second family. How do you prepare for this?
My setlist has been brushed up and fine-tuned while touring Europe, Asia, Australia and the US over the last couple of months. I am very excited and ready to perform at Dekmantel by Night, surrounded by great DJs from Rush Hour. I am looking forward to it very much, it will be so good to be back in Amsterdam and to be part of this year's Dekmantel festival.

A Little Hiccup
Film: How to Train Your Dragon 2
Format: Streaming video from NetFlix on The Nook.
I won't pretend like I wasn't interested in watching How to Train Your Dragon 2. I was curious as to where the story would go after the first film. It had a good, solid base to build on; the first film is smart, funny, and had a great sense of adventure. It is one of those great kid-oriented films that manages to be just as entertaining for adults and for the same reasons. Additionally, the original film does a few things differently from the typical animated kids' film and does those things really well. The question, then, is if the sequel holds up.
We're back to the village of Berk, which has become a haven for dragons in the five years that have passed since the first film. Hiccup (Jay Baruchel), the savior of the town in the first film is essentially running away from his duties as chief-designate by his father, Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler). Stoick wants to turn the reins of power over to Hiccup, who doesn't want them. And again, in a piece of smart writing, this isn't an irresponsibility thing or a function of Hiccup's constant exploring of new lands. It's that he doesn't think he has the qualities his father does as a leader and that he won't be able to handle the job the way his father does.
Astrid (America Ferrara), Hiccup's not-quite-fiancée finds him out wandering and the two fly off to a new area where they discover a gang of dragon trappers led by Eret (Kit Harington) catching dragons for a man named Drago Bludvist (Djimon Hounsou). Hiccup and Astrid return home to alert everyone, and Stoick begins to panic. He's had dealings with Drago before and knows the man to be a remorseless killer. Hiccup, not wanting a war and convinced he can stop it, goes off in search of Drago and finds instead his long lost mother, missing for the last 20 years of his life.
Valka (Cate Blanchett) was lost in a dragon raid when Hiccup was a baby, but instead of being killed, she was taken in by the dragons and has become something of a protector to them. She also fights against dragon trapping as best she can. The family reunion is short-lived, though, as Drago is soon on the march, leading his massive army of dragons to crush Berk and then to bring the rest of the world to its knees.
As with the first film, How to Train Your Dragon 2 gets pretty much everything right. The characters are still fun and still given real personalities. Sure, some of these personalities are extreme and done for comic relief, but our main characters think and act like real people. They are forced into difficult positions and decisions multiple times, and they behave in realistic ways when this happens. It's a film that, while made for kids, doesn't talk down to them. It gives them real characters and a real story. I also like that Astrid has grown up from the first film. She's still competitive and aggressive, but she's much less a stereotypical "girl power" character in this film, and that's a genuine improvement.
It also contains a number of good comedy moments. Hiccup's peers, Snotlout (Jonah Hill), Fishlegs (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), and the twins Tuffnut (T.J. Miller) and Ruffnut (Kristen Wiig) aren't used a lot, but are frequently funny, with the new added twist that both Snotlout and Fishlegs are obsessed with Ruffnut, who hates them both. (She gets a taste of her own medicine when she gets her first look at Eret.) Of the other characters, Berk's second-in-command and mechanical "genius" Gobber (Craig Ferguson) is an extreme comic character, but he also happens to be one that is genuinely funny most of the time.
Once again, as with the first film, we've got writers who are smart enough to have real danger and real problems for the characters. Their lives are frequently on the line throughout the film, and there are again moments that are surprising because of this. How to Train Your Dragon 2 doesn't pull its punches despite its target audience, another indication that the filmmakers respect kids as smart film viewers. It's also another reason to respect this film and, so far, this franchise.
It also doesn't hurt that this is a very pretty film. The art is beautiful and the animation is superb. I also love the fact that the characters have aged. Everyone is still recognizable from the first film, but there is no question that Hiccup is older. He looks about 20. He's taller and more filled out physically. It was a good decision because despite the physical changes in the characters, it actually lends continuity to the two stories. In terms of consistency, Hiccup's dragon Toothless is still screamingly cute and dog-like, and arguably the best character in the film.
Is there a downside? Well, I still don't know why all of the adults sound like they are from Glasgow and all of the younger generation sounds like they're from Des Moines. Beyond that, because this is much more an adventure film than the first one, it's also lesser in terms of the characterization. The first film was about Hiccup and Toothless, while the sequel is about saving the village. As good as this story is, I like the first one a little better.
Then again, I like the first film a lot, so that's not much of a criticism. If you liked the first How to Train Your Dragon, you'll find almost as much to love with the sequel. If you didn't like the first film, you've obviously got something wrong with you.
Why to watch How to Train Your Dragon 2: It builds very well on the first film.
Why not to watch: It's not quite as good as the first one (but it's close).

Your conclusion is similar to mine.
SJHoneywell April 10, 2015 at 2:56 PM
Pretty much. I tend to avoid reading reviews of things before I've seen them, so I appreciate the link.
Tony April 10, 2015 at 1:59 PM
Well, I still don't know why all of the adults sound like they are from Glasgow and all of the younger generation sounds like they're from Des Moines.
I find it kind of annoying that the Scots accent has become a kind of go-to accent for fantasy and/or humor.
I liked the first Dragon movie OK but I'm kind of mystified that by its instant classic status. I didn't see the second one.
I also wonder why Vikings have a Scots accent. They're Vikings. They should sound, y'know, Danish or something.
I blame fantasy in general. Once it was somehow decided that dwarves are essentially short Vikings with a Scots accent, the meme was created.
I blame Mike Myers.
Hmmm...you may have a point there.
Chip Lary April 10, 2015 at 6:29 PM
I agree with most everything you wrote. I like the original a little more, but the sequel is still a good movie on its own.
They're really very different, almost different genres, sort of like Alien and Aliens.
Nick April 10, 2015 at 8:02 PM
Yeah, I'm in a general consensus here. I think I like the first one a bit more, but this is still a very solid sequel. I also like how the characters aged both in looks and personality.
SJHoneywell April 10, 2015 at 11:22 PM
I agree. I think the smartest thing they did was age the characters appropriately. And I like Astrid in this one a lot more than I did in the first one.

Races & Results
Race Recap: New Plymouth, Gold Coast and Chengdu
It was a rainy, dark drive to the Brisbane Airport, but as we pulled in, the clouds parted revealing a bright arching rainbow. Snapping a photo, I half-jokingly tweeted that I was now on my way to Chengdu World Cup in search of my pot of gold. While I didn't win gold this weekend, I was still very pleased with silver and found the metaphor quite fitting for my last few races. Here's the race recap:
World Cup New Plymouth & World Triathlon Series Gold Coast:
Let's just describe the WC New Plymouth and WTS Gold Coast as still part of my rainy period. In both races, I struggled to get all three disciplines on point on the same day. With each passing race, the disappointment of letting Olympic points slip right out of my hand began to set in. Yet, I could feel improvements with certain aspects of the races and still trusted my training. So while I was frustrated with lack of progress, all I could do was learn from mistakes made, accept my situation, and keep pushing forward.
World Cup Chengdu:
The next step forward was the Olympic Distance World Cup triathlon in Chengdu, China on April 16, just one week after Gold Coast. Despite some delays in receiving my Chinese visa, I finally landed Friday morning at 1:30am and less than 36 hours after arriving, it was race time!!
Since I missed the briefing Thursday evening, I had to start last on the pontoon. I found myself swimming more or less by myself in the middle, with a group of swimmers about 10m away on my left and 10m away on my right. Of course, everything came together at the first bouy, but I had some ground to make up. I accelerated through the second smaller lap of 500m, and exited the swim between the about 10 seconds behind the group in front and 10 seconds in front of the chase pack. Our chase group worked well together catching the leaders by the end of lap 4. When we arrived into second transition as one big group, I just mentally prepared myself for a warm and hard 10km run.
I took off fast trying to create a small gap early on and when cramps started coming on after 5km, I lost contact with the leader Summer Cook (USA). At that point, I thought that if I accelerated to try and catch Cook, I'd risk blowing up completely. Over those last two laps, I just tried to remain constant reminding myself that if I wanted these points, I was going to have to fight for them. When I glanced back after the last turning point and saw I still had a gap over third and fourth place, I was overcome with relief. After all the injuries in 2015 and early season struggles, this performance could not have come at a better time.
Moreover, fellow Belgian teammate Marten Van Riel earned a bronze medal a few hours earlier in the Elite Men's race. Marten has had an exceptional start to the season, but this was his first podium and it was really special to share this moment with him at a World Cup level.
The Olympic qualification period lasts two-years ending in May 15, 2016. After last weekend in Chengdu, I have improved my ranking to 56th (and 47th on the "cleaned-up" simulation list), regaining an Olympic qualifying spot. I am now back in Belgium for a short training block to prepare for the Olympic Distance World Cup in Huatulco, Mexico on May 7th, followed by the World Triathlon Series in Yokohama, Japan, one week later on May 14th. While I know I still have a lot of work to do, I am more determined than ever to secure my spot and will go into these last qualifying races humble, hungry and on the hunt for points.
Thank you to my coaches, friends, family and supporters for the messages of encouragement through the good and the bad. No matter where I am in the world, your support is always much appreciated!

These included no contact with other, being allowed to hold the ball for 3 seconds and taking 3 steps, and changing places with the catcher if you scored a goal. The teams then set about playing all the others in a round robin tournament.

OH, MY THE GOSH, THE SMELL.
For me, it's a little much. I mean, I normally don't mind scented face products at all, but when I open this palette, I feel like I'm surfing a tsunami of peach gummy rings. It's cloying and borderline synthetic.
It doesn't make my tummy turn, but I wish it wasn't so…in my face.
Doing the makeup math, Cheek Parade is a flat-out fantastic deal if you're a pale princess or a medium-toned temptress, since two of the products, Dandelion Blush and Hoola Light Bronzer, are most noticeable on lighter skin.
I'm pretty tan (NC42), and they barely show up on me.
, but as I'm writing this post, it's listed as out of stock. It's also slated to and will be available in Sephora stores starting April 7th.
Congratulations on the new layout, it looks fantastic!
Just one observation – the header (or the top banner) is very wide and doesn't move when I scroll down, so it kind of cuts the page. I can't view the pictures etc without them being cut off by the banner.
A suggestion would be to keep the banner limited to the top so that when a person scrolls down, it isn't visible. Or, alternatively, a narrower banner.
I would be all over this, had they included one more blush and not two bronzers. I mean, I barely finish one bronzer ever, why two? My skin tone does not change that much that I need two different bronzer hues.
Oh man!! I might need to get this. I'm almost out of dandelion, and California and hoola lite are on my list… seems like a screaming deal to me!!
Not related to this specific post, but I wanted to mention I love the new redesign of the blog. Cheers!
Mmm, I was gonna say "I want that" but then if it doesn't show on tanned skin, I'd better check it out in person first. You see, now Im medium but I hope not for long!
Hmm this is very tempting… I'm going to have to look into this!
What a fun one for travel or if you're like me and you don't use thing up quickly.
Too light for me! I like how the coral blush looks though. The cover shows a picture of the same woman in different band outfits? Kinda strange to me. But I love the new layout!
I'm with Linda Libra Loca, I don't need two bronzers, especially the regular Hoola. Can I assume the color swatches on your arm from top to bottom are Rockateur, then Galifornia, then Dandelion, Hoola Lite and finally Hoola?
Just saw this on-line at Sephora.com.
Think I might check out Galifornia or Dandelion and Hoola Lite and just get one or two of the individual colors.
How does this blush formula compare to the Tom Ford blush formula?
I just about had a fainting spell over the Galifornia pan pattern. Love it!


ATHENS -- Greek conservatives won at the polls Sunday in a national election but fell far short of enough seats to take power, deadlocking parliament and deepening unease over the country's economic future and its continued membership in the Eurozone.
With 30% of the votes counted, Antonis Samaras and his center-right New Democracy party had 20.3% of the vote, far from the support needed to secure an outright majority in Greece's 300-seat parliament. The Socialists took a brutal beating, with support for their new leader and former Greek finance minister, Evangelos Venizelos, plummeting to 14.1%, down a shocking 30 percentage points from the party's landslide victory in 2009.
Anger over punishing austerity cuts pushed voters to a number of protest parties, including the hard-left Syriza party, which unseated scores of Socialist and conservative backbenchers, and the far-right Golden Dawn party, whose anti-immigrant stand and thuggish tactics have sparked widespread concern.
The messy electoral result could take weeks to untangle, at a time when Europe's debt crisis threatens to flare up again.
Samaras, as the leader of the projected top vote-getting party, will have three days to try to form a coalition before passing on the task to the runner-up party. The endeavor could prove tricky: Samaras has already said that he would rather force another election than join in a coalition with Venizelos, his archrival.
And even if they formed an alliance with the help of a third, smaller party, it would probably be short-lived, pundits and politicians here said.
"This is a seismic shift in politics here," Mavros said.
Mavros adds a final quote saying "This is a seismic shift in politics here."

Team Partners
Bourdais has challenging Honda Indy Toronto
dalecoynepr	on July 15, 2018
Sebastien Bourdais Race Summary:
Sebastien Bourdais had a challenging race today in the No. 18 Team Mouser Electronics/Molex – Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan car finishing 19th in the Honda Indy Toronto on the temporary street circuit in Toronto, Canada. Bourdais started 17th, however worked his way up to 11th during the first stint of the race. After pitting the team made some changes and put on black tires. Shortly thereafter, Bourdais spun in Turn 1 and the back end of the car hit the wall damaging the rear wing. Bourdais pitted for a new wing, but lost two laps as the repairs were made essentially ending his race.
Sebastien Bourdais Race Quote:
"It was a tough weekend all around for the Mouser Electronics/Molex team. I thought we had something pretty good in qualifying that could help us accomplish the usual good starting position in Toronto, but I wasn't comfortable enough with the conditions (wet track) to challenge the car for the one lap. I didn't do a good job, we didn't make it through and that put us at the back of the field."
"We tried something for the warm-up this morning and the car was far worse than it had been. So we un-winded that and threw a Hail Mary at it for the race, but the car still wasn't quite there. It was okay on the Firestone red (alternate) tires, then we made a couple of changes during the first stop and put black (primary) tires on. As soon as we put on the blacks the car became extremely catchy, snappy and unpredictable. I made a couple of mistakes where I almost crashed then I got into turn one and I have no idea what happened. It felt like I didn't really slow down. The car started to crab and go sideways under braking and from there I couldn't recover. I went backwards into the tires, not bad enough to put us out of the race, but bad enough that I had to come in and change the rear wing. We lost two laps and from there it was just about collecting data and bringing it home. It was just a very disappointing weekend.

In 2014, the Karl Bachl GmbH & Co KG from Röhrnbach, Germany, decided to introduce SMARTCRM. The key reasons for choosing SMARTCRM were the interface to the ERP system proALPHA, its user-friendly front-end as well as its personal information manager – PIM. Thanks to the latter, the primary goal of the CRM implementation was reached: the optimization of the internal communication, for instance between field service and back office, as well as the external communication, with architects, engineering offices and planners. The different company departments, such as the insulation, construction or construction material, are represented in SMARTCRM over a total of seven clients. So, important data is always accessible to all departments.
An important decision factor was the interface to the ERP system proAlpha used by Bachl and which was easily adapted to the company's needs. SMARTCRM imports, in consideration of the clients created in the ERP system, customer and product master data, relationships and hierarchies as well as special prices, turnover and order backlogs. So, both field service and back office have a unified overview of all customer and planning related data, without having to switch to proAlpha. The CRM system thus guarantees that the employees can always adapt their customer's contacts to the current figures. SMARTCRM allows Bachl to early recognize planning deviations and to react accordingly.
Price agreements and price sheets are centrally stored for instance for the insulation material sales department. Thus the sales staff can access the current price information with a few clicks and stay up to date at all times. The employees of the construction department control the dispatch of their price list by assigning features to categorize the addresses in the CRM system. So each customer always receives the correct price list.
Complaints can also be captured in SMARTCRM. For optimal tracking, the CRM system provides all detailed information related to a complaint, such as the reason of the query, the duration of the complaint processing as well as any steps taken to solve the problem of the customer. The creation of 8D reports is made directly in the CRM system. So, SMARTCRM guarantees a complete complaint management as well as quick and competent customer care. Comprehensive evaluation options allow Bachl to identify the cause of recurring complaints and so to keep on improving the quality and services.
The acceptance for the CRM system is really high amongst the employees, especially in the insulation material department where SMARTCRM supports them in many processes – among others due to the usability of SMARTCRM. Through the unified mask structure, the employees are comfortable even with the newly added modules. In the near future, the use of SMARTCRM should increase in the construction material department. So, the addresses are now categorized to then take advantage of the easy processes and benefits of the CRM system.
SMARTCRM simplifies our complaint process in the insulation material department, for instance with forms that are automatically filled out and comprehensive evaluation options of the complaints. Thanks to the 8D reports, a better complaint follow-up takes place.


Most of us know Alan Klapmeier as the CEO and Chairman of Cirrus Design, and part of the duo (with his brother Dale) who brought the Cirrus SR-20, SR-22 and now Vision SJ50 jet into the world, but did you know that this year Alan Klapmeier is also serving as the Chairman of the General Aviation Manufacturer's Association (GAMA)?
"GAMA is very much a behind the scenes organization, because the members are a couple of handfuls of manufacturers," explains Klapmeier. Some of those manufacturers build the radios and electronics, engines and other components that most of us use in the Experimental aircraft that we build and fly.
"We are clearly working toward the same goals--to help general aviation," says Klapmeier. "The largest issue on GAMA's plate right now is next-generation airspace issues, and how can we get that to work. And we do have other hot issues, for example 100 octane fuel going away, environmental concerns, liabilities, but from an industry point of view, changing how airplanes interact in the airspace and with each other, that's big for us," he says.
So how do they advocate for general aviation? Klapmeier believes that there has to be not just consensus between government and industry, but something he deems "rational consensus."
How do we get there? "What is very important on issues as large as next-generation airspace is that we break it into pieces," he says. "You've got to have a path to a goal. And the first steps on the path have to be doable tasks. There are pieces to the big goal of making next generation airspace work, and we need to get on with implementing them first so that we can progress toward that ultimate goal."
One big piece of that puzzle will be exacting regulatory assurances from the FAA that general aviation aircraft can continue to have unrestricted access to airspace that is considered congested, and that the equipment required to fly in "congested" airspace never be so onerously expensive as to prohibit general aviation aircraft from occupying "congested" airspace. Technology is a great thing, but it needs to be affordable if everyone is going to have to use it. GAMA hopes that its advocacy can help keep the airspace usable by all.


Most visitors and locals will agree that when it comes to beaches on St. John a 'good to best' scale just would not do. The scale for describing St. John's beaches is 'Great', 'Greater' and 'It's a secret so I am not telling anyone'.
All beaches on St. John are open to the public. Beachfront property however, in many cases is private and a few popular beaches have hotels nearby. Respect private property when accessing beaches.
It is illegal to collect shells from beaches in the Virgin Islands; shells are confiscated at airport customs. There are no clothing optional beaches in the Virgin Islands.

Windhoek - Ministry of Mines and Energy has condemned the illegal importation and selling of Angolan fuel in Namibia saying such activities are against the law and deprive the country of much-needed revenue in terms of tax.
Information gathered by the ministry shows that there has been a lot of illegal importation of fuel from Angola in the northern region of the country.
In a statement made by the Deputy Minister of Mines and Energy, Kornelia Shilunga, during the fuel information sharing campaign in the northern regions, the ministry is concerned about the public safety that is compromised by the illegal activities.
"Fuel smuggling is an illegal conduct of bringing petroleum products into the country by unlicensed individuals. It is done without duly reporting the consignment to customs officials, thereby evading tax and fuel levies due to government agencies. Investigations have shown that this illegal and smuggled fuel is stored in dangerous containers, which poses a danger to the environment, and often sold in a manner that poses a health hazard to the people," said Shilunga.
She said the fuel being smuggled from Angola is incompatible to Namibia's gazetted fuel specification standards. According to her, vehicles that burn fuel containing a higher degree of sulphur content are not only detrimental to the engines of Namibian vehicles but they emit more than the total allowable carbon into the air.
High sulphur content emitted by the vehicle raises environmental concerns, especially in light of the fact that Namibia is a signatory to inter-continental conventions against pollution and carbon emissions.
However, Shilunga said there is nothing wrong with Angolan fuel if it is consumed within the borders of Angola.
"In addition, on a regional level, SADC has set a target for all countries to move to low sulphur and cleaner fuel by 2030. Unlike other countries, Namibia has moved fast to phase out Petrol 93 and introduced diesel 50 ppm. By the end of this year, which is now, Namibia will be phasing out diesel 500 ppm and gradually introduce diesel 10 ppm into the market. We are working hard to ensure that our market is moving with the changing world in terms of cleaner fuel," she said.

Super helpful staff with quick check in. Clean room, decent pool/hot tub, operational outdoor laundry which I used and worked fine. Great breakfast with a super helpful host. Close to Disneyland with a busy shuttle in the am. Shuttle ride is about 5-6 min once driving to and from Disneyland and about a 14 min straight shot walk. Parking included which was nice instead of paying additional to pack at Disneyland. Disney fireworks was mostly visible from the property but over the building but still pretty clear. Overall a great stay, so much so we came back for another night 2 days later. Would stay here next time for sure. Great value.

Q: Is there any requirement for the participation of Stack Exchange 2.0 moderators to the meta site for the site where they are moderators? Is there a minimal participation that moderators on a Stack Exchange 2.0 site are supposed to have on the meta site associated to the site they are moderating? I am not referring to Stack Exchange staff, but to appointed moderators and moderators that have been elected on any of the Stack Exchange site that are not part of the trilogy.
I have noticed that in some sites, the moderators answer questions on the meta site, while in other cases, the moderators barely answer any question on the meta site, with the exception of requests to merge accounts.
While I understand that always having an answer from a moderator could have the effect of stopping other users from answering those questions, especially on sites with a restricted number of  frequent visitors, I also think that moderators that never reply to questions about why they closed a question, or why the flag about an answer that is not really an answer was rejected, don't participate to the meta site enough.
Is there any requirement for the moderators' participation to the meta site? What is the limit between non participating, and participating too few?
What about the participation to Meta Stack Overflow? Are moderators supposed to have a minimal knowledge of what is suggested on Meta Stack Overflow for some of the basic (or less basic) operations done from a user (e.g. flag two user accounts from merging, flag all the comments of an answer as obsolete) and the preferred way to do it (e.g. flag the post created from one of the account, and report the account should be merged with another one; flag the post to which the comments are referring, and report that those comments are all off-topic/too chatty)?

A: Moderators are encouraged by the management to ensure that each and every meta post receives some kind of response.

*

*Sometimes we just post a comment linking to a discussion on the mother meta.

*Sometimes we note that a non-moderator has already addressed the issue.

*Some we handle ourselves.
As Al Everett noted in the comments this is facilitated by treating them as activity in the moderators queue. When meta.physics.SE is active I get a lot of notifications – hopefully meta.stackoverflow.com is treated differently or the SO mods must be inundated.

Don't neglect the trillions of microorganisms in your body that are keeping you healthy.
If you've never heard of the microbiome, get ready. You probably will see this word pop up more and more. "This is an emerging area of medical research with the potential to reveal greater understanding and new approaches to treatment for many different diseases," says Chad Deal, MD, Head of the Center for Osteoporosis and Metabolic Bone Disease at Cleveland Clinic and Associate Editor of Arthritis Advisor.
You may be surprised to learn that trillions of bacteria and other microorganisms inhabit the human body, a number that just about equals the total number of cells. These tiny organisms, which reside on the skin and in the mouth, female genital tract, and primarily the intestines, are collectively referred to as the microbiome. The microbiome has wide-ranging effects on health.
While bacteria, viruses, and other microbes can cause infection and other diseases, they aren't all bad. In fact, we need the "good" types of these organisms. They aid digestion and influence many other functions, including the immune system.
Humans and their microbiome have evolved over millennia to exist in mutually beneficial ways to keep us healthy. A diverse mix of different types of microbes is necessary for optimal health. If the delicate balance is disturbed, problems can arise. External influences, such as diet, use of antibiotics, where you live and travel, stress and other factors, can alter the microbiome.
The interaction among the microbial contents of the microbiome and the body is quite complex, and researchers are working on understanding it. There is evidence to show a connection between the microbiome and diseases and conditions with an inflammatory component, including conditions involving bones, joints and muscles.
About 70 percent of the body's immune cells, including inflammatory cells, are located in the gastrointestinal tract. "There is evidence that altering the gut microbiome can affect inflammation," says Dr. Deal.
People with the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis are at risk for bone fractures. Studies have shown that having elevated levels of C-reactive protein, which is a marker of inflammation, is associated with low bone density and increased risk for bone fractures.
"This and other research points to a role of inflammation in osteoporosis that may be influenced by changes in the microbiome," says Dr. Deal.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that affects primarily the lining of joints. The cause is not known, but it is likely the result of some environmental trigger in genetically susceptible people. The trigger may involve the microbiome.
There's a known link between periodontal disease and rheumatoid arthritis. The possible common culprit is a bacterial component of the oral microbiome called Porphyromonas gingivalis. Researchers are also finding that changes in the microbiome in the intestines may be involved in rheumatoid arthritis.
As we get older, we lose muscle mass and strength, which can lead to frailty. "There appears to be a relationship with our microbiome," says Dr. Deal. Some studies have found an association between frailty and low-grade inflammation. And other research points to changes in the populations of certain bacteria in the gut influencing muscle weakness (a condition called sarcopenia) and frailty.
Even though research on the microbiome is still in the early stages, we know there are benefits to paying attention to our microbiome. "It's actually something that is alterable," says Dr. Deal. We can positively impact our microbiome through lifestyle measures, such as diet, and avoiding overuse of antibiotics.
Antibiotics eliminate bacteria that cause disease, but they can also destroy some of the good bacteria. Those bacteria will repopulate, but overuse of antibiotics may eventually lead to upsetting the balance.
Probiotic supplements, which contain beneficial microorganisms, may help rebalance the microbiome. However, the right mix of organisms for optimal health is still not clear. Prebiotics are foods(often high in fiber) that act as food for the gut microbiome. They improve the balance of microorganisms.
The surest way to support your microbiome is a shift toward a plant-based diet. "This approach doesn't do harm, and has the potential for great benefit," says Dr.Deal.
1. Avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics. For example, don't take an antibiotic for a cold, which is caused by a virus.
2. Eat foods that contain microorganisms, such as yogurt, sauerkraut and pickled vegetables.
3. Eat a plant-based diet. Good bacteria feed on greens and other vegetables.
5. Eat more fiber, which enriches the good bacteria.
6. Consider a probiotic supplement.


For funding the Tea Party, for gerrymandering and stuffing state houses of government with unflinching 'conservatives'. The imaginative and prescient of this network as revealed in its website is to construct the world's first and premier social community for the Talent trade that can change without end the way in which agents discover talent and expertise fulfills their goals." In addition to vocal talent auditions, auditions could be performed for greater than 20 different categories.
I brought in model strategy consultants to learn about consumer perceptions of the network. The Buying Channel was launched in 1987 as Canadian Dwelling Purchasing Network (CHSN), HSN's sister network in Canada. In 2003, the frequencies of HSE were bought to Mediaset and the channel was renamed Mediashopping 6 In 2011, House Shopping Europe bought the channel back; the channel was renamed HSE24.
I've have loved serial monogamy with 6 women, since my divorce in 2002, due to online relationship sites. It is quick and straightforward, and, once once more, you are merely making the identical purchases you'd make otherwise, however you might be benefitting the Community on the identical time!
In an email response, a Homeshop18 spokesperson mentioned, Homeshop18 is frequently looking at its enterprise strategy and periodically restructuring to maneuver towards the path of profitability with continued focus on TV purchasing house. The two greatest-identified dwelling-procuring TV networks in America, QVC and Residence Buying Community, agreed to merge Thursday, forming a new retail juggernaut as a part of an all-inventory deal valued at about $2.1 billion.
The networks have a matter of seconds to seize those people flipping the channels looking for something to look at. Liberty Interactive stated Thursday it believed the deal would make the 2 businesses extra competitive, create significant synergies" through cost reductions and assist to optimize programming throughout 5 totally different U.S. TV networks.

Juvenile grey whale caught on camera in Nanoose Bay

NANOOSE BAY -- A Parksville photographer has captured some stunning images of a grey whale that has been hanging out in the community of Nanoose Bay over the past several days.
Patrick Roycroft says while he's photographed whales before, this is his first opportunity to see a grey whale so close, and from the air.
"I spent a lot of summers waiting for them to come by, but this was the first time that I got lucky enough. It helped that the whale was hanging out for about three hours," Roycroft says.
The commercial photographer was able to fly his licensed drone high over the whale during its multi-day stay in the area.
"I've found that sea lions and whales, they pay no attention to what's going on in the sky above them. As soon as I got it up there, I could tell right away that the lighting was good, I could see through the water, so I said 'wow' a lot as I was pressing the button," he says.
Several other individuals also photographed and shot videos of the whale and posted them to social media.
Whale researcher and Department of Fisheries and Oceans scientist emeritus Dr. John Ford says grey whales normally travel along the west side of Vancouver Island during their migration between Alaska and Baja California.
"It's great to see them in close to shore like that, they're a wonderful whale to observe from shore because they like shallow water," Ford says.
He believes the whale was in Nanoose Bay feeding and says greys like to feed off the bottom of the ocean.
"They can stay sometimes for a couple of months, especially in places like Boundary Bay near White Rock, several grey whales typically feed there," he says.
He says it's rare for greys to come along the eastern shores of Vancouver Island, adding that this juvenile will likely head south towards the bottom of Vancouver Island before continuing it's journey towards Alaska along the west side of the island.
"They're exploring new habitat, they're not set in their ways so they turn up in strange places like this," Ford says.

Q: Type-checking issue with io.TextIOBase in a Union In the following code, I have a function that can take either a string, or some TextIOBase. If a string is passed, it is interpreted as a path to a file that should be opened and read. If a TextIOBase is passed, the contents of that stream will be read:
from typing import Union
import io

def function(foo: Union[str, io.TextIOBase]) -> None:
    if isinstance(foo, str):
        foo = open(foo, "w")

This seems like it should be okay, because Unions are supposed to be covariant, meaning that a subclass of one of the types in the union should satisfy the type annotation, and in this case the output type of open() is a subclass of TextIOBase. However, mypy complains with:
union.py:6: error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "TextIO", variable has type "Union[str, TextIOBase]")
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)

I figured maybe there is an issue with the ambiguity of the return type of open(), based on the passed arguments, so I tried making a StringIO instead, but got the same error. Any thoughts? Why is mypy mad at me?
I have also tried this with some toy classes (e.g. Union[str, T1], then assigning a T2, where T2 is a subclass of T1), which mypy is perfectly happy with.

A: The typing module has a dedicated object for that: typing.TextIO. The return type of open is determined based on the mode argument and evaluates as one of these types: TextIO, BinaryIO.

Singer Lauren Daigle takes criticism in stride as singing career takes off
Christian singer Lauren Daigle is learning that the higher you climb, the bigger the target you become. Now that secular radio stations are playing some of her songs, she faces questions of whether she plans to leave Christian music behind.
"I'm not leaving anybody," Daigle said in an interview with Faithwire. "Someone asked me, they said, 'Hey, now that you're mainstream, are you going to change your content?' I said, 'If I changed the content that would change who I was in order to meet a format, and the format (audience) that is actually receiving this. Why would I change? It would make me inauthentic.
"There's nothing in me that's going to change. It's loving where I came from and loving where I'm going. That's how it is."
Daigle gives insight into her life in interview:
The singer went on to address the pressure and anxiety that can build while she's on tour and how she handles the criticism that comes her way.
"Pressure is a real thing, and I think there are times where you have to acknowledge it and then times where you just have to tell it to be quiet. 'Just be quiet. You can't control me,'" she said. "I think that a lot in life. Like with social media, there can be moments of positivity and joy, and there can be moments of criticism and pain. And that can get really difficult, but as long as you focus more on the positive…."
READ: Daigle disrupting secular music charts
When Daigle faces moments of self-doubt and insecurity, she said she turns to God and focuses her mind on being still.
"If you just have moments of getting away, stepping back for a second, being still and it's those moments, honestly, that I find myself collecting myself. And then I can go back into the war zone of negative things that are told about me," she said. "I'm girded up with a strength that supersedes all of the unkind words. 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.' It ain't true!! Words have power. There's power of life and death in the tongue. So I think we need to celebrate the words."

We like Trading Cards Games!
Selling trading cards gives us money to buy trading cards... and we like trading cards.
We also like Tea and Dinosaurs... We don't sell those things though because dinosaurs are hard to catch and you didn't come here to buy tea.
We like Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Cards. Yu-Gi-Oh cards are great! We especially like cheap Yu-Gi-Oh Cards, so we try to make our cards some of the cheapest Yu-Gi-Oh singles around.
We also like Pokemon Trading Cards. They're so cute! :-) Apart from the ugly ones!... We've been Pokemon Trainers since THE BEGINNING OF TIME ITSELF! As such we have one the most extensive collections of Mint and Near Mint condition Pokemon Trading Cards in all the land.
The Cardfight Vanguard TCG is pretty cool as well. It's been picking up pace since it first launched in 2011 and the game features some of the most impressive card artwork of all our TCGs. If you're looking for Cardfight Vanguard cards at bargain prices you've come to right place.
In addition to our main TCGs we also dabble in Force of Will, Final Fantasy TCG (So cool!), Match Attax and we're still introducing more.
We also stock a fantastic range of TCG Accessories and storage solutions such as Deck Boxes, Binders and Portfolios, Trading Card Sleeves and Play-Mats all from top brands like Ultra-Pro and Ultimate Guard.
We've been trying these out ourselves on Saturday nights over recent months and I have to say, we chose well! The only possible reason that we can come up with as to why you wouldn't want to buy some of these games, is that you hate fun! So unless you hate fun, check them out here... or here.


text: Q: Mid-point convexity in high-dimensional space From wiki, I know that for scalar input $x\in[a,b]$, if a continuous real-valued function is mid-point convex: $f(\frac{a+b}{2})\leq \frac{1}{2}(f(a)+f(b))$, then function $f$ is convex. I wonder whether this result (convexity for a continuous function) holds also in the high-dimensional space ($x\in\mathbb{R}^d$ and $f: \mathbb{R}^d\mapsto \mathbb{R}$). If so, whether mid-point strong-convexity leads to strong-convexity in high-dimensional space?

Does it sometimes seem like money is standing in the way of your happiness? How we feel about money can really have an impact in the role it plays in our lives, how we spend it and how secure we feel about our future. Find out how our emotions – positive or negative – can influence money habits and what you can do about it.
Our feelings about money can be as strong as they are volatile. One day you're elated because you got the mortgage to buy your first property. A month later you're stressed out from unexpected maintenance bills on your perfect new home. Or perhaps you experience this cycle of excitement and anxiety from everyday retail spending on clothes, gadgets, or a night out with friends.
It's only natural for people to seek satisfaction from spending money. After all, money is an essential tool for meeting our needs – for shelter, food, transport and many other things that make our lives comfortable and complete. But we all place different value on these various needs and our feelings about money can be just as wide-ranging. So we each have a money story that's fairly unique.
While yours might seem absolutely true to you, money scripts for different people can be quite opposite, but still lead to the same behaviours. According to Brad and Ted Klontz, there are four main categories our money beliefs fall into.
Money avoidance – feelings of shame about having money and that you don't deserve it are the hallmarks of the money avoider. You may assume people with wealth have either inherited it or used deceit to get it.
Money worship – you basically believe money can solve all your problems. If only you could have more of it, you'll stop worrying and enjoy life more, instead of feeling stressed and working too hard.
Money status – spending money shows the world who you are. Your sense of personal worth and value is demonstrated by your wealth and the things that go with it. Spending more than you earn is an easy trap for you to fall into.
Money vigilance – money is your security blanket. Having it makes you feel safe and protected and spending it feels like putting yourself in the path of danger, even when you still have plenty to live on.
Your own personal money relationship may be a combination of two or more of these identified scripts. According to the research, the first three can all lead to negative behaviours such as compulsive spending or gambling, overwork and financial dependence or denial. While having a 'vigilance script' can certainly keep you from being reckless with money, it isn't necessarily any better for your wellbeing to avoid spending money because it scares you.
Findings from the Klontz research suggest it may not be necessary to actually change your money script. It's more a case of acknowledging what your feelings are and looking for practical ways to disrupt the behavior they cause. Being a money worshipper, for example, often comes with feelings of envy when faced with the trappings of a life that seems better than yours. If this sounds familiar, remember to take regular breaks from social media feeds, like Instagram and Facebook that remind you of the upgrade to your home, wardrobe or holiday your money script has you longing for.
Another way to disrupt money feelings that make you feel bad when you spend it – or don't spend it – is to substitute a positive feeling for a negative one. Perhaps trading envy for gratitude is a way to break the cycle of dissatisfaction. You could do this by practicing gratitude as you pay for your food shopping, mortgage and electricity bills to remind yourself that a secure, comfortable life is already yours.
When you're trying to work against something as powerful as your money beliefs, the last thing you need is to be surrounded by people who aren't supportive of the change you're trying to make. As some of your money feelings are likely to come from family, they may not be the best ones to look to as a sounding board for your new money goals.
Finding yourself a money buddy can be a great way to get support to change financial behaviours that hold you back. Whether their script is similar to yours or completely different, you can get to know each other's weaknesses when it comes to money. Then you rely on each other to call out old negative money feelings and encourage you to act on positive new ones instead.
