Action Circuits have the facility to moisture bake and repackage devices. Our electronic component dry packaging service allows us to bake any electronic devices as required, however industry standard times and temperatures range from 6 hours at 125deg C to 24hrs at 125deg C. Equally we can carry out a 12hr bake or a 6hr bake, or at a reduced temperature for longer periods.
In surface mount technology (SMT), semiconductor devices are soldered on to the surface of PCB's, using processes that expose the devices to temperatures between 210 C and 260 C, for a relatively long time (4 to 60 seconds). Due to this high temperature shock, in the early period of SMT a wide number of Surface Mount Devices showed severe damage after the process. The largest PLCC and SO devices could explode like popcorn, and this phenomenon became known as the popcorn effect. Devices are now produced using packaging techniques to avoid this effect, however moisture retention in the package can still cause excessive mechanical stresses during the soldering process, causing cracks and delaminating. In some cases when this damage affects critical areas, long term reliability may be compromised.
Although new moulding compounds have been developed by the semiconductor industry, in a number of SMD's it is still necessary to control the moisture content in the encapsulation, upto the moment that they are submitted to the soldering process.
This control is obtained by shipping and storing sensitive SMD's in moisture barrier bags. They are hermetically sealed and can control the moisture absorption from the ambient environment, thus maintaining the devices in a dry condition until used.
A major point is to quantify the shelf life of the device once it is removed from the sealed bag. This is a most important consideration when processing devices prior to assembly (soldering).
Our procedures are based on the EIA JEDEC standard JESD22-A112, and International Standard STD020, which define six levels of moisture sensitiveness.
At Action Circuits we operate very strict component handling procedures, which incorporate dry packing / moisture control systems to ensure that all device exposure time is recorded.
In addition to our baking and vacuum packing services we stock a large selection of ESD packaging materials which are available to purchase.
Request a call back from one of our team here.
Manufacturer dry bag conditions are recorded.
Devices are opened, processed and pass final inspection.
Devices are re-sealed in vacuum packed hermetically sealed moisture barrier bags with indicator card and the correct units of desiccant.
The total exposure time, together with exposure Level is recorded on the bag.
If devices have been over exposed, Action Circuits can offer device baking and re-packaging services to the manufacturers specifications.
All process areas at Action Circuits are air-conditioned and humidity controlled to ensure a controlled environment for your components.
This gives you the customer complete reassurance to our understanding and ability to protect your components to manufacturers guidelines and specifications.

Erythromycin is a commonly used drug because of its action against various kinds of bacterial infections. This is an antibiotic and is classified as a macrolide antibiotic. The function of this drug is to make the various bacteria to stop growing. Since it is an antibiotic, it functions only against bacterial infections and is ineffective against any viral infections. One important factor that should be remembered about this drug is that rampant use of this against various infections can cause the drug to become ineffective later on.
The drug Erythromycin is very effective when it is consumed when the person is on an empty stomach. This is because the absorption of the drug is complete only when the person has no food in the stomach. Decreased digestion is one of the conditions that can also be treated by this drug. One of the common side effects that occur in the person who consumes this drug is nausea. To avoid this effect, many people have found it to be effective to swallow the drug along with milk or eat food after using this drug.
Erythromycin should be consumed only when it has been prescribed by a physician. This is because unnecessary use of the drug can lead to resistance formation in the body for the drug. So, it will not be effective against any other infections, though they are bacterial in nature. The right dose will be prescribed by the physician because the dose that a person can take varies with the weight and the age of the person. It also depends on the disease or infection that you are suffering from. Overdose, consuming less dose that needed and also stopping to take the drug prematurely can adversely affect the person. So, a lot of care should be taken when using the drug to treat a disease.

Renewed violence in Iraq
A wave of bomb explosions sent plumes of smoke into the air across Baghdad, killing 63 and injuring 194 people in the worst violence for months. There is a growing sense of crisis in Iraq as the Shia prime minister Nouri al-Maliki tries to arrest his own Sunni vice president on charges of running death squads.
The threat of escalating sectarian warfare is deepened by the fear among the Iraqi Shia elite that the Arab Awakening movement is turning into an anti-Shia crusade.
The most deadly of the bomb attacks came when a suicide bomber driving an ambulance packed with explosives persuaded police to let him through their checkpoint because he was on an emergency call. He blew himself up outside a government agency charged with fighting corruption in the middle class mainly Shia Karada district, killing at least 35 people and injuring 62.
"We heard the sound of a car driving, then car brakes, then a huge explosion, all our windows and doors are blown out, black smoke filed our apartment," Maysoun Kamal told a news agency.
The 14 bomb attacks, mainly directed at Shia civilians, show that after eight-and-a-half years of such bombings, government security agencies have failed to break up the insurgent cells that carry them out. The director of one of the government intelligence agencies told me that "the problem is that Iraqi security only reacts to events and has no long term strategy."
Two of the explosions were of roadside bombs in the south western Amil district, killing seven people and wounding 21 others. A car bomb in a Shia part of Doura in the south killed three and wounded several more. Bad though these attacks are the bombs are not so far as big as those used in 2009 when two-and-a-half tons of explosives were used to reduce the Foreign Ministry to ruins. But such is the legacy of sectarian hatred in Baghdad that it does not take much to produce fear that "ID card" killings based on sectarian identity might resume.
It is extremely difficult to prevent bombings in a city of five million people when the targets are often Shia street sellers or school children. In recent months the government has reduced the number of checkpoints and taken down some of the concrete blast walls that still snake through Baghdad, separating Shia and Sunni neighbourhoods. There are few mixed areas left in the city since the sectarian slaughter of 2006-7 though a few people have gone back to their old districts. Baghdad today is very much a Shia city.
The upsurge in violence comes only days after the withdrawal of the last US troops, who once numbered 170,000 in the country. The Americans have played little role in providing security since 2009 and were unable to prevent a bloody Sunni-Shia sectarian civil war in 2007-7. But there is no doubt that the US withdrawal has had serious psychological impact because many Iraqis feel the US helped defuse differences between Shia, Sunni and Kurds.
The latest violence and political crisis provoked by the arrest warrant for Hashemi are particularly destabilising for Iraq because of the escalating Sunni-Shia confrontation across the Muslim world. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Sunni states have backed the ruling Sunni dynasty in Bahrain in crushing pro-democracy protests by the Shia majority in the island. Saudi Arabia and Turkey are both seeking an end to the government of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, where the Shia heterodox sect, the Alawites, have dominated the ruling elite for more than 40 years.
The Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has a reputation for being paranoid about plots against his government and may have over reacted to an alleged assassination attempt against him late last month. But the Shia leadership in Iraq, which came to power in an election in 2005 after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, is openly worried that triumphant Sunni Islamists in Syria would give aid to the Iraqi Sunni and provoke a fresh insurgency.
The arrest of former Baath party members in Iraq and the dismissal of Sunni officers shows the edginess of Maliki and the Shia leadership. In practice, it is in little danger because the Shia dominates the officer corps and reportedly makes up more than 90 per cent of senior officials in the Defence and Interior Ministries. Maliki commands 900,000 soldiers and police, and the country's oil revenues will reach an estimated $100 billion this year.
Maliki's bid to arrest Hashemi, who has taken refuge in Kurdistan, may well backfire. "The Kurds have no interest in handing him over," said a Kurdish leader on Friday. "They know that if either the Shia or the Sunni dominate in Iraq it will be bad for the Kurds. They will try to mediate." Maliki may try but is unlikely to succeed in ruling Iraq by force, something that Saddam Hussein failed to do.
Maliki was expected to try to increase his power in the wake of the final US troop withdrawal this month. But his unexpected decision to provoke a political crisis immediately by ordering the arrest his own vice-president on terrorism charges may weaken his rule and destabilise Iraq.
Maliki had just been in Washington where he presented himself as the national leader of Iraq and not just of the Shia majority. But within hours of his return to Baghdad, he ordered the arrest of the most senior Sunni leader, Tariq al-Hashemi, whose bodyguards were put on state television to confess that they had been paid by the vice president to carry out killings.
The simplest explanation for Maliki's action is that he is extremely paranoid. Kaan Karadaghi, the former chief of staff of President Jalal Talabani, who attended many meetings with Maliki, told The Independent: "He is really obsessed with the idea that there are plots [against the government] and particularly against himself. This came up at many meetings. You feel that he really believes in these conspiracies against him — mainly by the Baathists."
Instead of stressing national unity, Maliki has alienated the Sunni minority, who fear further persecution, and angered the Kurds, who form an essential part of the Iraqi government. Leaders from both communities have previously denounced Maliki's dictatorial tendencies since he became prime minister in 2006. He has also damaged Barack Obama who had been intending to emphasise in the presidential election his success in withdrawing US troops leaving behind a democratic and stable Iraq.
Maliki's paranoia may have some justification, given that Iraqi politics at every level is very violent and no doubt plots and conspiracies against him do exist. Moreover, Maliki, now aged 61, has spent much if his life in the Islamic Dawa, the Shia religious party, membership of which meant torture and execution if unmasked under Saddam Hussein. Not surprisingly, the mentality of its surviving members makes them suspect that they are threatened by potential traitors. Maliki spent much of his life in exile after being forced to flee Iraq in 1979 and lived in Iran and Syria until the US invasion and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003. The Shia hold on power on Iraq may appear unbreakable, but the community fears a counter-attack by its old enemies.

News from Thailand
Driver: Erawan bomb suspect spoke Thai with foreign accent
August 25, 2015 August 26, 2015 admin Politics
A taxi driver who may have driven the Erawan shrine bomber away from the scene of last week's deadly explosion told police Tuesday that the suspect spoke Thai with a foreign accent.
The driver, who spoke to reporters before being interviewed by police, said he picked a foreign-looking man and drove him from Rama IV Road near Sala Daeng to a spot near Hua Lamphong station.
The description given matches a police warrant circulated last week.
"He spoke Thai but spoke with a foreign accent. I don't think he was Thai. He was the same man as in the clip," said the driver, who asked that his identity be withheld over fears for his safety.
The driver met investigators at the Metropolitan Police Bureau and the Police Forensic Science Office at the Royal Thai Police head office on Tuesday.
He said he was not aware that police were looking for him until receiving a phone call from his sister.
Forensic police tried to find clues in his car on Tuesday as deputy national police chief Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda held a meeting with all investigators at the MPB to get an update on the investigation.

More than 2,300 customers responded to a Microsoft-sponsored survey identifying what solution provider characteristics matter most to them, and how and why they choose a partner.
When it comes to IT purchasing, there's still nothing IT pros like more than having a partner in their corner, helping them to select among their myriad technology choices for a solution that meets the needs of their business.
That's not just the opinion of partners, or of the vendors who want to flatter their channel members. It's supported by the statistics in a recent survey of several thousand IT professionals and managers.
A few months ago, we talked to a number of customers and partners about what customers want and need from their partners [See "Giving Customers What They Want," September 2009]. Both groups provided critical insights, such as noting that word-of-mouth remains extremely important even as partner visibility on the Web makes a difference, and that expense matters less than value when it comes to the partner-customer relationship.
Now comes a survey of Microsoft's 400,000-member global channel by San Francisco-based Market Tools Inc. Commissioned by Microsoft, the survey was geared to help solution providers understand customer thinking as they take the software giant's most recent wave of products into the market.
"We did this to get some hard data to back up and affirm how we think about the channel and what end customers want," says Kevin McCuistion, director of partner marketing, Microsoft Core Infrastructure. To get the data, Microsoft contracted with Market Tools to survey a panel of IT professionals over the summer. There were 2,370 respondents, spread across a wide range of organization sizes and covering several job functions: IT decision maker, IT influencer, IT professionals and professional developers. According to Microsoft, the survey's respondents didn't know on which vendor's behalf they were being surveyed.
For Microsoft, the results demonstrated how important partners are to its business across all types of customers. McCuistion says, "The meta-takeaway is solution providers really do provide a lot of value in the customers' minds, and they use solution providers quite a bit."
One figure from the survey that jumped out at McCuistion was the percentage of respondents who said they worked with a partner of some type. Of IT pros -- the largest group of respondents in the survey at 71 percent -- worked with a solution provider in some capacity. IT decision makers were even more likely to work with a solution provider, and 78 percent reported doing so.
"On advisory councils, partners always tell us that their best value is looking left to right across the business and being able to show customers an end-to-end solution. This data came back that from the customer perspective, they see it that way too."
Another critical data point from McCuistion's perspective was the number that found partners' advice decisive. The survey asked, "How influential is your solution provider in the direction of your IT systems versus other sources (such as vendors, peers, publications and analysts)?" Calling solution providers "extremely" or "highly" influential were 40 percent of IT pros and 42 percent of IT decision makers.
Also of interest to Microsoft was a question about the vendor with which customers most wanted their solution providers to be aligned. Microsoft took the question over other named vendors in a landslide, with 46 percent selecting Microsoft. Although it's a Microsoft-sponsored survey and the huge gap over the next named vendor -- IBM Corp., at 13 percent -- could be taken with a grain of salt, the figures also make some sense given Microsoft's approach of pushing partners nearly exclusively as their sales force and maintaining a relatively small consulting arm. Microsoft Consulting Services accounts for less than $1 billion in revenues; in comparison, IBM Global Services generates on the order of $50 billion.
More interesting was the response to the question by organization size. For small and midsize organizations, having a solution provider aligned with Microsoft was most important: 57 percent of small organizations and 55 percent of midsize organizations valued that alignment. Microsoft alignment was less important for large organization customers, only 40 percent of which wanted solution provider alignment with Microsoft.
Many of the survey responses offer nuggets for solution providers trying to attract new customers. Microsoft's survey asked the relatively small group of respondents that didn't work with a solution provider why they declined to do so. The most common response (58 percent) among IT pros was that the company had all the necessary IT skills in-house. Interestingly, 23 percent answered that working with a solution provider was outside their work responsibilities. An additional 20 percent had no budget, while 7 percent were looking but hadn't been able to find a trustworthy solution provider. A refreshingly small 4 percent answered that they "don't trust solution providers."
Those in the market for solution providers valued referrals above all else. A respectable 73 percent of respondents said that referrals were the way to find a solution provider, followed by vendor Web sites or representatives (54 percent) and Web search or local listings (38 percent).
Once this set of customers identifies solution providers, the biggest influences for selecting a partner are experience (75 percent), followed by business or industry knowledge, references, being local and qualifications such as vendor certification and training.
Those customer respondents who have settled on a solution provider cited a number of benefits from the relationship.
A key question in the survey involved customers' attitudes about the most important value they received, or could receive, from a solution provider. The key was strategic advice, guidance and overall expertise, with 36 percent of IT professionals overall choosing that option. The category was even more important to IT decision makers, 39 percent of whom valued strategic advice the most.
McCuistion says the answer makes intuitive sense, especially with Microsoft partner-customer relationships. "Microsoft provides a breadth of offerings, from desktop to data center. We know that partners are rallying around solutions with a more integrated platform approach, especially in the area of infrastructure," McCuistion explains. "On advisory councils, partners always tell us that their best value is looking left to right across the business and being able to show customers an end-to-end solution. This data came back that from the customer perspective, they see it that way too," he adds.
The next rung down on the value ladder was deployment or implementation of solutions, the survey showed, with 22 percent of respondents finding value there. That was followed in descending order by ongoing support or maintenance of solutions (16 percent), development or integration solutions (12 percent), the reseller role (10 percent) and hosted solutions (5 percent). Customers at small organizations put the comparative value in a slightly different order. Strategic advice was first at 32 percent, followed by ongoing support at 21 percent, deployment or installation of solutions at 15 percent, the reseller role at 13 percent, development or integration of solutions at 12 percent and hosting at 7 percent.
"When I reflect over the last 12 months, really we've seen this sea change in talking to IT professionals in how they perceive their roles and what their companies are asking of them."
Taking a slightly different angle on the issue, the survey also asked IT pros to rank the value of solution providers' work in different technology areas. General advice was the most valued, with 51 percent of all IT pros in the survey saying that the area that solution providers delivered the greatest value was in overall planning, strategy and management. That was followed by system management (36 percent), storage and disaster recovery (33 percent), virtualization (30 percent), security and identity management (28 percent), application development (27 percent), business intelligence (20 percent), desktop and device management (19 percent) and branch office connectivity (11 percent).
What is the most important characteristic of a solution provider? Customers had different ideas, but the old school approach of straightforward reselling ranked way down on the list, confirming that customers expect partners to offer much more sophisticated solutions in a nuanced way. The top characteristic was "expertly implemented solutions," with 39 percent of IT pros giving that answer. That was followed by "provide expert advice and guidance for IT strategy" at 30 percent, "reduce IT costs" at 15 percent, "deliver productivity improvements" at 7 percent, "recommend and sell software and hardware" at 5 percent and "streamline business processes" at 4 percent.
That data squares with what Bill Laing, vice president of the Windows Server & Solutions Division at Microsoft, says he's been hearing from customers.
"When I reflect over the last 12 months, really we've seen this sea change in talking to IT professionals in how they perceive their roles and what their companies are asking of them," Laing says. "They're tasked with saving money and reducing cost, being more innovative in delivering solutions that their companies value, and increasing productivity."
"For people to answer their phone, we have to be able to prove in a very short period of time that it can save money, improve efficiencies and make IT more efficient without taking two steps back for three steps forward."
When it came to reducing IT costs, customers indicated that their solution provider partners were doing a pretty good job. On a scale of one to nine for rating how much a solution provider helps save money, 38 percent of IT pros gave a strong rating of seven, eight or nine. Those at small organizations were even more likely to say solution providers saved them money, with 43 percent ranking the help between seven and nine on the scale.
In sum, the data from the survey tells Microsoft to keep the focus on partners, who give it a good, trusted avenue for delivering new versions of its products to customers. The survey data for partners quantifies what many already know: that customers are in need of solid, strategic advice to help them sort among technologies, especially among Microsoft's hundreds of products and tens of thousands of potential productivity-enhancing features.
Rand Morimoto, president of Convergent Computing, a Gold Certified Partner based in Oakland, Calif., sees the current wave of releases as coming at a fairly good time for partners, who can use the survey results to help inform and structure their customer conversations.
"Six months ago, nine months ago, customers were saying, 'We don't have any money,'" Morimoto notes. Two years after the recession started, budgets are tight, but customers' companies have generally stabilized and organizations are beginning to be able to justify the expense of addressing pain points that have a demonstrable effect on the business. "For people to answer their phone, we have to be able to prove in a very short period of time that it can save money, improve efficiencies and make IT more efficient without taking two steps back for three steps forward," Morimoto says.

Purple Line Ltd design and manufacture a wide range of novel products for the recreational vehicle market. The company philosophy is: design, innovate and improve. Their products are supplied in the UK through a network of retail outlets. Based in Wherstead, Suffolk, Purple Line was established in 2003 by the current MD and now employs 13 people. One of Purple Line's products, the OPUS Camper, recently featured prominently in the BBC's 'Apprentice'.
Purple Line had enjoyed a modest level of export sales and had previously signed up a couple of retailers in the USA, but they were certain that their export success could be greater. Added to this, Purple Line were starting to receive increasing numbers of customer queries from the USA; this piqued their desire to be more proactive in their export strategy!
Investigating the support offered by UKTI, Paul Liner, Commercial Manager at Purple Line, attended an event focused on 'Exporting to America'; here he met Jim Fanshawe, an International Trade Advisor for UKTI. Jim explained how UKTI help businesses like Purple Line increase their export sales and recommended the Export Marketing Research Scheme. The EMRS is a UKTI Scheme providing professional advice and funding to help businesses understand the dynamics of a potential overseas market before creating an appropriate strategy for launching in this market and there is a nationwide team of professional Research Advisers to support individual companies.
Paul met with Alice Mamier, the Research Adviser for Suffolk, and explained their current business situation and future aspirations, focusing on the USA opportunity. They decided to centre the research on Purple Line's new Remote Power-trailer Mover, an innovative product enabling vehicles to be manoeuvred via a remote control. Paul explained how they needed to understand whether the product was appropriate for the USA market and whether any modifications were required, what was the best route to market (should they go straight to the retailers or find a distributor), the ideal price point and importantly the 'hook' to attract customers to the product.
In the spring of 2012, Paul travelled from California, up the West Coast of the USA to Oregon then Washington undertaking 14 meetings, as per his planned itinerary, speaking with camping and touring retailers, (including interviewing customers in the stores), distributors and UKTI people in the LA embassy. "Special thanks to the guys in the LA office who were so helpful and put me in touch with lots of really useful people so I could plan a comprehensive itinerary," enthused Paul.
The research trip was a success. It was clear there was a market, especially amongst the 65+ camping and touring fraternity, for whom the product enabled the freedom to continue their camping trips despite their inability to manoeuvre their vehicles physically. The research identified some necessary alterations, such as a mandatory 'jockey wheel' and a customised adaptor plate; the price point, whilst initially considered high, could be justified once the product was clearly explained, highlighting the need for a strong local presence. It was apparent that the ideal route to market would be through a national distributor, ideally serviced by a local Purple Line presence. "There was another really useful finding which we hadn't even considered," explained Paul, "There's a big opportunity to sell the product when the vehicle is purchased, enabling its cost to be included in the finance package. This was very appealing to our target audience!"
The research findings not only enabled Purple Line to develop their strategy for the new Remote Power-trailer Mover, but also helped them refine their overall business proposition for the USA. Now, with confidence in the potential market, some very interested retailers and promising initial sales,Purple Line are setting up a Sales Office in the USA. Paul, preparing to move to the USA to run the new office, described the Purple Linekey 'hook', "We found that our innovative products allow the older generation to continue with a hobby they truly love."


In Dangerous Liaisons, I have used two letters –one of Viscount de Valmont and one from Marquise de Merteuil- from the epistolary novel "Les Liaisons dangereuses" by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. I have used a pin to transcribe those two letters on several pieces of folded Japanese paper. I then unfolded the paper to reveal different random motifs, which allude to decorative embroidery found in linen, or handkerchiefs, and I placed the pieces on the wall, to comment on the two lovers' seduction web of mischief and pain woven through such delicate and fine material.
In The House of Bernarda Alba I transcribe excerpts from F.G.Lorca's theatrical play, using a pin, in order to render the text illegible and form instead a bordure of relief and bass relief text, which refers to embroidery.
In Family Reunion I used an excerpt of T.S.Eliot's play, and its form simulates that of a table where the family comes together. The text is made by punctures of pin on paper.
In Hush, I used accounts of dreams, in S.Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams.
In Orestes and Iphigenia, I have used the dialogue the two siblins have until they recognize each other.
In Ma Chère Maman I have transcribed five letters of Marcel Proust to his mother using a pin to puncture the paper. I folded the paper in various ways as if making an envelope and transcribed each letter using a pin to puncture on each folded paper. When unfolded, the paper reveals a random motif, which alludes to decorative embroidery found in linen, or handkerchiefs.

New Jersey lawmakers on Monday advanced a series of measures designed to make college a more affordable route for students, both up front and on the back end.
It's the first set of bills crafted in response to recommendations made two years ago by the state's bipartisan College Affordability Study Commission, according to Mila Jasey, chair of the Assembly Higher Education Committee.
Two of the measures aim to ensure that students avoid earning credits beyond what's necessary to earn a degree — one requiring that public institutions cap the credit count at 120 for four-year baccalaureate degrees, and that county colleges cap the count at 60 for an associate's degree, and the other establishing a campaign designed to educate students and their families that a student should take no less than 30 credits per year in order to graduate.
An additional measure would permit the establishment of "three plus one" programs where students can complete three academic years at a county college and gain automatic admission in the fourth year to a partnering four-year school. The bill states that participating students would not jeopardize their eligibility for scholarships or state tuition aid grants.
Such a partnership is already in place between Rowan College at Burlington County and Rowan University. At the end of 2018, bachelor's degrees will be awarded to 20 or so students who spent three full academic years on the RCBC campus, then completed their education with Rowan University faculty.
Since January 2017, about 850 students have committed to the program — the only one operating in New Jersey.
Acting RCBC President Michael Cioce said "three plus one" students can expect to save at least $75,000 compared to their peers who attend a typical four-year institution, when including housing and meals.
RBCB Acting President Michael Cioce celebrates "3+1" day.
"Just because it's low cost doesn't mean that students are going to be necessarily lining up," Cioce told New Jersey 101.5. "But I think that the one-two punch of a low-cost, high-quality degree program is why this has been resonating with residents of Burlington County and the region as well."
Rowan College at Gloucester County will begin offering third-year courses this fall, also in partnership with Rowan University.
"I think anything that helps address college affordability in the state is something that schools need to be looking at," Cioce said. "The reality is not every school necessarily has a senior institution partner that's willing to partner with them and share curriculum."
Addressing the "unreasonable" price of college textbooks, lawmakers also approved a measure designed to expand the use of open textbooks, which are essentially free, and digital learning materials.
A plan to do so would have to be submitted by each institution to the Secretary of Higher Education. And every year, the secretary would submit a report detailing which institutions are offering open textbooks.

'Trump Is Not Conceding. Something BIG Is Happening'; Wayne Allyn Root Delivers Urgent Message To America
by Clayton Keirns January 17, 2021, 4:58 am
Conservative radio host Wayne Allyn Root has been a close friend of President Trump for many years, and now he has an urgent message about the events to pass in our country.
After studying President Trump's behavior and career, Root has been banging the drum over the last two months telling the American people that Trump is NOT giving up in this election fight.
Now, Root says he has spoken to a close friend of Trump and that something BIG is about to happen in our country. In fact, he went as far as to say "Trump is not conceding".
Here's what he tweeted on New Years Eve:
"Just spoke to my closest friend to President Trump. Something BIG is happening. Which is why Prez flew back early to WH. Get ready for fireworks. Most interesting January in history coming up fast! President Trump not conceding. He will NOT go down without a fight. NOT over"
In less than 24 hours, the tweet has received over 75k likes.
Look below:
Here's the link to the original tweet
On January 6th, Congress is set to certify the Electoral College results which would cement Joe Biden's steal of the 2020 election.
However, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley announced on Wednesday that he would be objecting to the certification process of the Electoral College Vote on January 6th. Hawley is the first Senator to officially make this announcement.
"Millions of voters concerned about election integrity deserve to be heard," Hawley tweeted with a statement attached. "I will object on January 6 on their behalf."
If more Senators muster up the courage like Hawley did, President Trump can reign victorious.

Stand Up, Fight Back, and Channel Outrage to Action
7/28/19 Stand Up, Fight Back, and Channel Outrage to Action Last week, after three mistrials, State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby succeeded in winning the unjust conviction of Keith Davis Jr. on fabricated charges. Only one day later, Donald Trump issued his abusive, racist tirade against our city. We are as outraged by the conviction of Davis as we are by Trump's hate-mongering barrage of insults. But outrage is not enough. It is past time to channel our anger into building new political structures capable of empowering Baltimoreans over individuals and institutions that have mislead our city for decades. Fighting back against a corrupt criminal justice system and the overt racism directed at our city requires fighting back against the structural racism that is embedded across Baltimore's social and political life.

UK bank NatWest pleads guilty in landmark laundering case
Issued on: 07/10/2021 - 15:48 Modified: 07/10/2021 - 15:46
London (AFP) –
British bank NatWest on Thursday pleaded guilty to failing to prevent the laundering of nearly $500 million and could now face a similar fine.
The plea followed the first criminal prosecution of a financial institution under UK anti-money laundering laws.
The lender admitted three counts of failing to properly monitor the cash which was deposited in a customer's account between 2013 and 2016.
The Financial Conduct Authority regulator said NatWest had failed to adhere to anti-money laundering legislation in relation to an account held by jeweller Fowler Oldfield Ltd in Bradford, northern England.
The century-old jewellery firm was shut down following a police raid in 2016.
FCA prosecutor Clare Montgomery QC told Westminster magistrates court in central London that Fowler Oldfield's annual turnover was far higher than expected.
"The turnover of Fowler Oldfield was predicted to be £15 million per annum," Montgomery told the court.
"It was agreed that the bank would not handle cash deposits.
"However, it deposited £365 million ($496 million, 429 million euros), with around £264 million in cash."
At once stage, Fowler Oldfield deposited up to £1.8 million per day, she added.
The lender, formerly known as the Royal Bank of Scotland, could now face a fine of up to £340 million, according to media reports.
NatWest Chief Executive Alison Rose expressed "deep regret" over its conduct, adding the group has since ramped up its efforts to combat crime.
"We deeply regret that NatWest failed to adequately monitor and therefore prevent money laundering by one of our customers between 2012 and 2016," Rose said.
"In the years since this case, we have invested significant resources and continue to enhance our efforts to effectively combat financial crime."
Southwark Crown Court in south London will determine the size of the punishment at a hearing expected in the next four to eight weeks.
NatWest, which changed its name last year, remains majority-owned by the UK government after the world's biggest banking bailout amid the 2008 global financial crisis.
The bank cooperated fully with the FCA and no individuals have been charged under the proceedings.

Cheryl Acton Election
Chase Thomas
Accountability/Transparency, Better Utah Staff, Blog, Elections and Voting Rights, Issues
We are only a couple of weeks away from receiving ballots in our mailboxes and voting in this highly consequential election. And while many of us are understandably captivated and utterly horrified by the race for our next president, there are many equally consequential elections happening at the state and local level.
So, in an effort to share some of the information we've gathered over the past few years and extend some accountability into one of our state house districts, here's a look at the incumbent running for re-election in Utah House District 43, Representative Cheryl Acton.
Ignores the Will of the People
Remember how we all felt after the 2018 election once it was announced that Utahns legalized medical cannabis, fully expanded Medicaid, and created an independent redistricting commission?
Cheryl Acton voted to replace our new medical cannabis program with one that covered fewer people and created more legal hoops for patients. She voted to drastically scale back Medicaid expansion, covering fewer low-income Utahns at a much higher cost to taxpayers. She voted to repeal measures that would hold lawmakers accountable while they are redistricting, allowing them to gerrymander unchecked.
In fact, 55.2% of residents in House District 43 voted to expand Medicaid in 2018. But only 48% of those same residents voted to elect Acton to office. She doesn't represent her constituents and we need representatives that will listen to the voice of the people while in office.
Extreme Anti-Abortion Advocate
One of the most controversial pieces of legislation that Acton has sponsored during her short time in office was HB 136, Abortion Amendments, during this year's legislative session. Before it was almost immediately made ineffective in court, this bill banned any abortion after eighteen weeks, one of the most restrictive laws in the country. And she defended wasting millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars when groups immediately threatened legal challenges over this blatantly unconstitutional law.
She worked hand-in-hand with national and state anti-abortion groups to run this bill and promote an extreme anti-abortion narrative in the state. Acton was given a "pro-life award" by the "Pro-Life Utah," and has been one of that group's most vocal advocates. In addition to running this unconstitutional bill, she supported a bill that would have mandated a medically unnecessary ultrasound before an abortion (HB 364) and another bill that will completely criminalize abortion if Roe v. Wade is overturned (SB 174).
Doesn't Represent Utah Values
During her short time in office, Acton's legislative record has shown repeatedly her extreme views that are at odds with Utahns' values of building strong families and communities, being good stewards of our environment, showing love and compassion for all, and maintaining transparent and accountable government.
Voted for the creation of the Inland Port Authority and the Legislature's power grab against Salt Lake City and its residents (HB 433 (2019))
Voted to make state school board elections partisan races (SB 236 (2019))
Voted against a bill that would increase affordable housing (SB 34 (2019))
Voted against the expansion of public school breakfast programs (HB 222 (2020))
Voted multiple times to make it harder for citizens to propose and pass initiatives and referenda (HB 133 (2019); HB 145 (2019))
Voted to allow more radioactive waste storage in our state (HB 220 (2019))
Voted to give extreme protections to gravel-pit operations near our homes and communities (HB 288 (2019))
Voted to prohibit cities from adopting sensible protections against gun violence (HB 271 (2020)) and voted to adopt a "stand your ground" policy (HB 114 (2019))
Voted against appropriating funds to subsidize public transit and encourage carpooling on bad air days (HB 353 (2019))
You can find out how Rep. Acton voted on other important bills and issues by checking out the Better Utah Progress Report.
I could go on, but if you'd like additional proof that Acton holds extreme views that are not representative of her constituents, I'd point you to her public Facebook and Twitter profiles. There you will find posts and retweets denying climate change, endlessly supporting Donald Trump, spreading election misinformation, advocating school privatization, marginalizing minority communities, and, of course, pushing her anti-abortion agenda.

Q: Aws passing credentials to ansible s3 module In ansible,When I am passing the access key,secret key,token to my aws credentials,it  passes the access key to my ansible module s3 ,but when I am passing secret key and token it shows me ""VALUE_SPECIFIED_IN_NO_LOG_PARAMETER"
like that.So how can I solve this.
In accesskey id there is no extra special symbols at all,we have only text alphabets,but in security ans session we have / and special symbols,may be due that it passes like "VALUE_SPECIFIED_IN_NO_LOG_PARAMETER"???
Thanks guys

A: aws_secret_key and security_token are marked as no_log arguments. See source.
It is sensitive data, so not printed to stdout and you see VALUE_SPECIFIED_IN_NO_LOG_PARAMETER.
If you absolutely need to get secret values printed to stdout, use ANSIBLE_DISPLAY_ARGS_TO_STDOUT=1 environment variable.

Nets vs. Pacers: James Harden, Joe Harris, and Steve Nash Top Quotes
Tom Dowd
March 17, 202111:33 PM EDT
See what the Brooklyn Nets had to say after their 124-115 win over the Indiana Pacers.
On starting with smaller lineup:
"You're damned if you damned if you don't in a way. If you put all your size out there to start the game you can run out of it as well. So we know Bruce can be so effective against bigs at times, so we took a shot at that. Their length bothered us, but at the same time we did damage in the first quarter by getting fouls on Turner. I think that upset him and it upset them a little bit. So, that long lineup was tough and tricky; but our guys weathered it and was able to throw a lot more at them by the end of the night."
On defending Sabonis:
"Our defense is different. We switch, and we asked them to go find him in the post while we fronted and make them throw balls over the top in those small gaps. We gave them a few of those today but we didn't panic. We stuck with it. Our activity was outstanding, we kept the ball in front for the most part. So I thought they did a good job of handling, he's such a versatile player. He makes his teammates better and he can score inside or out. But I think we also made it difficult for them, and it wasn't necessarily something they were comfortable with."
On Nic Claxton
"He was gassed at times tonight. I think everyone was with the shorter bench. Heavy minutes. We tried to take a couple timeouts in the fourth just to give them a breather. Nic is, he's in between. Obviously you could see his activity and length and the things that he can do to help our team but you have to be careful overplaying him. That's why we took some of those timeouts, to give him and James and Joe and extra breather. Nic's doing great. We love the profile he brings to our team, long, mobile big who's active and plays hard and he was definitely a big factor tonight."
On turning the game around:
"We had 16 turnovers. You know we were just giving them the ball and coach said before once we are a really good team — we are a great team — once we get shots at the rim, shot attempts at the rim. And we gave away 16 opportunities at that. So, if we can limit those and get as many shot attempts at the rim as we can, it is better for our team. But we just got shots, that's it. We stopped turning the basketball over, stopped giving them transition points, gang rebound and offensively, we settled down and got into the game and just got what we wanted: a shot every single time. Whether we made it or missed it, that's besides the point and for the most part, we made it when it counted."
On comparison to Phoenix comeback:
"I don't want to be down 15. I don't want to be down, but you know Phoenix they're a good team, they're a good team at home we turned the ball over, we didn't rebound the basketball in that first half. Second half we did the opposite, we gave ourselves a chance. Obviously we don't want to get used to having KD and Kyrie out of the lineup but if we do then guys have to be ready to step up. I think Tyler did a really good job throughout the course of the game. Once again we preach every night is going to be somebody different. And so be ready and be prepared for the opportunity. Take advantage of it."
On group effort:
"Our effort was great as a team, especially after that 15, 20 deficit. When we started to come back in the second quarter, and even in the second half we were great defensively. You know, just being more physical, communicating more, seeing what they were trying to do and taking it away and that is all it was."
JOE HARRIS
On being tied for first place:
"To be honest, I don't think we really think about that too much. We're really just pretty simply trying to come out and win every single night, regardless of all the external things."
On Bruce Brown:
"He does all the little stuff for us, and tonight was no different: The 50-50 balls, he was in the right spot defensively, he asserted himself, being aggressive, especially on that end. He just does a little bit of everything almost every game, and even tonight where his shot wasn't necessarily falling, he still has a huge impact on the game."
On coming back from 16 points down:
"I would say we were a little more assertive, but we were taking better care of the ball. It's pretty hard to defend when we turn it over and teams get out in transition."

Maths wizard Ramanujan will soon be on the big screen
By S.K 2014-03-22 Legends No Comments
I had written earlier about the mention of Ramanujan in the Hollywood movie, Good Will Hunting. This mention has now "piqued" a national award-winning film director Gnana Rajasekaran to make a biopic on the great mathematical genius, Ramanujan, as reported in The Hindu.
It is learnt that the movie based on the life and times of the mathematical prodigy, Srinivasa Ramanujan is likely to be released in September, 2014. It will be made in English & Tamil and may get dubbed in Hindi as well as other Indian languages.
This is what Mr. Gnana Rajasekaran, the director of the movie has to say about his inspiration to do the biopic on this Man who knew Infinity:
"Ramanujan was not only a mathematician, but also a genius of the highest order. His genius was not acknowledged by society; instead, he was pushed to pursue a normal path. His abnormal interest in mathematics was seen as a problem by the academia. What does society and academia do to a man who chooses to pursue a path less travelled? Ramanujan's life is an answer to that. His life story is relevant to the society today"
The events in the life of Ramanujan took place mostly in Kumbakonam and a for a small part at Chennai (Madras, as it was called). But it was Cambridge which brought his mathematical genius to the limelight. The film features Abhinay Vaddi (son of Gemini Ganesan and Savithri) as Ramanujan. The others in the cast are Malayali actress Bhama, Suhasini Mani Ratnam, Abbas, Nizhalgal Ravi, Delhi Ganesh, YG Mahendran and Sarath Babu, and British actors Kevin McGowan (as Prof. G.H. Hardy), Michael Lieber and Richard Walsh.
Hope the movie will not fall into the trap of usual mutilation of the true story to fit the filmy paradigm but would do justice to the great wizard!
Here are a few shots of Ramanujan's vintage abode and those who influenced his life:
Internet is rich with resources on Ramanujan. The Hindu has an album archive and there is a Ramanujan Museum too containing chronological data on his life and times with a liberal dose of rare pictures.

With the rapid growth in the market of education, the demand for few course have been rising rapidly. Amongst those courses, engineering and science are the most popular. Most of the students see their future in these two streams. Though both the courses are said to be very much related, but still they have a hell lot difference in between them.
Science is basically study of things with their scientific orientation. The literal meaning of science cannot be expressed in words. Study or knowing about anything is also termed to be as science. Science is vast and is kept unbounded. Till now; the limitation of science is not framed.
Talking about the course, we know that the course in Science is related more toward the theoretical knowledge about the thing. The main approach of science towards a particular topic is more on the theoretical ground than on the practical ones. It doesn't mean that science does not deal with practical. Without practical, the science cannot be completed. The basis of the study is the theory behind the topic.
On the other hand, Engineering is a particular science that deals with more practicality and a bit less theory. Again it never means that Engineering doesn't involve theoretical studies. But the difference is that the importance to theory is given very less as compared to what it gets in the science course. The main approach of the engineering course is towards the practical application. This is probably one of the major differences between the courses.
Another important difference is the use of technology and scope of the course. As mentioned earlier that science is unbounded. However there are some limitations in science. That limitation when is overcome with the help of engineering. The scope of engineering is not very wide like science and is very specific and sort of concentrated.

Memories of Ronen
September 23, 2010 Bisnow
Never has the phrase "only the good die young" been more appropriate, Linneman Associates principal Dr. Peter Linneman tells us about Angelo, Gordon & Co. VP Ronen Katz (center, with colleague Danny Rudin and Newmark Knight Frank's Ross Kaplan), who died in an accident involving his motorcycle on Sunday (New York Post). Ronen was a rare individual who possessed all of the requisite tools for a lifetime of success in business, but more importantly, he possessed the goodwill and generosity of spirit for a lifetime of success as a person, Peter continues. "He had a greater impact for good in his 27 years than most achieve in 80 years." After graduating from UPenn, Israel-native Ronen interned at Merrill Lynch before joining Angelo, Gordon in '05, NYT reports.
Above, Ronen joined Metropolitan Realty Associates president Joseph Farkas (with scissors) and Town of Islip officials for last year's grand opening of Sunrise Business Center's 300 building in Great River, Long Island. (Angelo, Gordon is an equity partner with MRA in all its LI properties.) Joseph tells us that Ronen had a way of even making the most challenging situations work out right—a real gift. Fried Frank partner Jonathan Mechanic, who represented Angelo, Gordon in a variety of deals, credits it to Ronen's attention to detail—as well as his personality. "He was the most warm and engaging person; it was easy for all sides of the table to work with him," he said. "You had to love Ronen, there was no other way."

In light of evolving-- and sometimes actively debated-- perspectives on the role of public companies with respect to sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and other ESG matters, we are providing a high-level overview of how boards of directors and senior management teams may wish to approach these issues: Be aware that sustainability has become a major, mainstream governance topic that encompasses a wide range of issues, including a company's long-term durability as a successful enterprise, climate change and other environmental risks and impacts, systemic financial stability, management of human capital, labor standards, resource management, and consumer and product safety, and consider how your company presents itself with respect to these matters.
This program will answer the following questions:
What are ESG criteria and how are they evaluated?
How is the current ESG landscape expanding?
Why do ESG-related issues present themselves as both a serious risk and a potential opportunity?
Why should board members and investors be concerned about ESG issues?
How are leading-edge companies proactively addressing them?
Why have investment funds joined the ESG bandwagon?
What are the emerging standards and guidelines for ESG disclosures and other communications?

US Lawmakers' Criticism On Kashmir 'Regrettable', Should Ascertain Facts On Cross-Border Terrorism: Centre
Friday, October 25, 2019 by Indian Defence News
EAM Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar with Foreign Secretary Vijay Ghokale
EAM Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar referring to the comments said instead of criticising New Delhi, the occasion should have been used to ascertain facts on the state-sponsored cross border terrorism in Kashmir
New Delhi: India on Thursday termed as "regrettable" criticism by several US Congressmen over the situation in Kashmir, and said the comments reflected a very limited understanding of the country's history and its pluralistic society.
Referring to the comments by several US lawmakers at a Congressional hearing, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said instead of criticising New Delhi, the occasion should have been used to ascertain facts on the state-sponsored cross border terrorism in Kashmir.
He said India has been regularly updating the departments concerned in the US government on the situation in Kashmir and sensitising them about the "real concerns" over "revival" of cross border terrorism by Pakistan.
Kumar said India has taken note of comments of Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Alice Wells that Pakistan needs to do much more in curbing terrorism in its territory in a "credible, verifiable and irreversible" manner.
During the hearing at the House Foreign Affairs Committee on human rights in South Asia on Tuesday, top American lawmakers devoted most of the time discussing the current situation in Kashmir and expressed concern over security clampdown and restrictions imposed in the Valley.
"It is regrettable that a few members of the US Congress used the Congressional hearing on human rights in South Asia to question the measures taken recently to safeguard life, peace and security in Kashmir," Kumar said in response to a question on the issue at a media briefing.
"These comments display a very limited understanding of India's history, her pluralistic society, constitutionally guaranteed freedom, fundamental rights and the robust institutions operating in the world's largest democracy," he said.
Kumar said India felt that the hearing should have been used to ascertain the facts on the state-sponsored cross border terrorism afflicting Kashmir which endangered the most fundamental of human rights, namely, the right to life.
"The government remains responsible for and responsive to the safety and well-being of its citizens," he said. Kumar said India has been informing the US about developments in Kashmir.
"We have urged our interlocutors to bear in mind the aspect of cross border terrorism in forming an opinion on the situation," he said.
"We take note of statements made by Administration officials including by Ambassador Alice Wells that Pakistan needs to do much more in curbing terrorism in its territory in a credible, verifiable and irreversible manner," Kumar said.
On August 5, India withdrew special status of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcated it into two Union Territories. Several security restrictions were imposed in Kashmir as well as Jammu following the decision.

How do I get account #s?
Discussion in 'Credit Talk' started by trish6103, Sep 27, 2003.
All of my credit reports have the last few numbers of the acct # starred out. How do I get the account # so I can include it in the validation/dispute letters? I know this sounds silly, but I am a newbie, so please humor me??
When disputing to the CRA, I used the #'s that were listed. If the account number read 342XXX, then that is the # I put on the validation/dispute request. I have had no problems with this.
I've checked the other CRs from the other CRAs and for mine they were all the same account number. I suppose you could use the number off of the other reports or just leave the last 4 X'ed out. I usually leave em.
You don't need to give them the WHOLE ACCOUNT NUMBER!!!
I had one company which virtually everytime they reported the tradeline, created different account numbers at the end of the actual account number... Experian actually forbade me from disputing them as identical, even though a trained monkey could have seen that they were the same account, because of the variation in the account numbers.
U don't need them just what is on the report will do.
Geo, my TU has the last 1-4 digits starred out.
Re: Re: How do I get account #s?
Near newbie here and I asked the same question not to long ago. Here's the thing (as stated above by another poster) if you have the whole account number and you let them know it they can use that against you. Just use the number exactly as they have it in your report, whole or not. I even went so far as to state in my own disputes '...as your agency list as account number 1234xxx. Not mine."

Disembodied voice knows their son's name
These Curious Times News October 29, 2019 Paranormal
The home of Nadine Brown, where she and her family have had several strange encounters with the possible spirit or spirits of a deceased tenant(s).
Nadine Brown of Port Richey, Florida reported that her and her boyfriend heard the voice of a woman speak in a whisper, but close enough and clear enough as if there was someone right next to them.
The first inclination of a haunting were small things: lights turning on and off, the baby's swing moving on its own, and then finally it spoke. These incidents started to pick about four months ago, when their baby boy was born. The most recent incident was last week, when the baby's swing moved on its own.
Brown's boyfriend was sitting on the couch one day, while she was in the kitchen. According to him, he heard a heard a woman's voice distinctly say their son's name: "Jayden."
He called out to Brown and asked if she said anything. She didn't. A few weeks later, Brown heard the same voice, except this time the voice said, "Mommy, mommy."
Brown said, "It was a soft whisper right in my ear, as if there would have been someone behind me had I turned around."
She called out to her 14-year-old daughter, who was also home and inside her room. "I said 'What did you say'? And she said that she said nothing."
After she heard the voice, Brown checked with her boyfriend and the voices they heard both seemed to be the same voice.
"Maybe it was a ghost, I don't know," she said.
"We first moved into the house we are renting about five years ago," said Brown. "Our neighbor claimed that four elderly people have died of natural causes in that house."
TCT News has reviewed property records associated with the Browns' address. Of the 72 individuals who have lived at this address since it was built in 1974, 18 have passed away. Unfortunately, none of those deaths have an address attached to their death certificate, so the neighbor's claim that four seniors have passed away in the home might be true, but it is uncorroborated.
Brown said she will try and record the next time something, like the swing, moves on its own. "I expect it to continue," she said, "but I don't think it's a bad thing. I just think the ghost, or ghosts, want us to know that they are still in the house."

Hardy's literary reputation – his fame and fortune – was based entirely upon his appeal as a novelist. Widespread public acclaim came with his fourth novel Far from the Madding Crowd (1874) – sufficient to allow him to abandon his architectural career in favour of the less certain path of a writer of imaginative fiction. Over the ensuing twenty years he published a further ten novels, variably received at the time. However in his final five novels – a sequence beginning with The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886) – he found his mature voice, producing fiction which upset Mrs Grundy and in one case (Jude) was burnt by the Bishop of Wakefield, ensuring his place in the premier elite of English novelists.
Hardy's professed desire was to be a poet – and how frequently does the poet's eye surface within his fiction – stating with typical (and ironic) modesty that he wished no more than to be considered 'a good hand at a serial'. In accordance of with the habit of the time, his novels first appeared in monthly instalments in magazines before being published in three volume form.
Each link contains a description and critical appreciation of each of Hardy's novels – written by Professor Michael Irwin, distinguished Hardy Scholar and former Chairman of the Thomas Hardy Society.


Gaetano (Gaetek) is a Italian DJ and producer. One of the founders of the Naples Techno scene & responsible for Conform Records.
"Napolitan by birth, Gaetano Parisio – also known as Gaetek – has been playing since 1993, and since his earliest days he lives in the sound that defines him today: mono-loops, amphetamine and instant techno for the masses.
In 1996 he published his first album in Design Music, one of the first labels of his friend and production partner Marco Carola, the standard bearer of the Italian scene in which Gaetek is.
Quickly his material begins to be published in important labels like Primate or the Swedish Planet Ryhthm. This rapid rise as a producer allows him to start his own company, Conform, soon.
Conform is established as one of the most respected techno labels by dj's and public, thanks to the quality of the discs that appear signed by himself and by artists of the stature of The Advent, Adam Beyer or Carola. With this last one, Gaetano produces under the alias C & G South System, and its maxis are published in Conform, Drumcode and the British Tortured of Billy Nasty. Template, Colors, Kobayashi and Cloned are other stamps to which Parisio has delivered his productions.
At the end of 1998 he founded his second company, Art, where according to him he can express 100% his way of understanding electronic music. All the references of the seal are signed by himself and recur in the percussive techno.
"Napolitano de nacimiento, Gaetano Parisio -también conocido como Gaetek- lleva desde 1993 pinchando, y desde sus primeros días vive instalado en el sonido que le define hoy en día: techno de mono-loops, anfetamínico e inmediato para las masas.
En 1996 publica su primer disco en Design Music, uno de los primeros sellos de su amigo y compañero de producción Marco Carola, abanderado de la escena italiana en la que se encuentra Gaetek.
Rápidamente su material comienza a ser editado en importantes labels como Primate o el sueco Planet Ryhthm. Esta rápida ascensión como productor le permite fundar su propia compañía, Conform, al poco tiempo.
Conform se establece como uno de los sellos techno más respetados por dj's y público, gracias a la calidad de los discos que aparecen firmados por él mismo y por artistas de la talla de The Advent, Adam Beyer o Carola. Con este último, Gaetano produce bajo el alias C & G South System, y sus maxis se editan en Conform, Drumcode y el británico Tortured de Billy Nasty.
