Sound section of the AOpen AX4B-533 Tube Motherboard
Audiophile's output stage on the Sovtek 6922 vacuum tube (Made in Russia)
When AOpen released a motherboard with a tube output stage the computer society split into three parts. Some considered that step a long-awaited revolution in the computer audio world, others thought it was idiocy; there also was an opinion that it was a good marketing step attracting a great deal of attention.
Here is an advertising composition from the AOpen's site.
Well, we managed to get this motherboard and I intend to test it with a great pleasure.
The box is divided into two parts, one containing the board and the other - the Sovtek 6922 tube and a bracket with CARDAS cables.
The SOVTEK vacuum tube is made in Russia. Tubes of this manufacturer are often used in professional and audiophile equipment by various brand-name companies (for example, Behringer). However, a special guide from AOpen which sheds light upon all details of the vacuum tube suggests making experiments with some other similar tubes from other manufacturers - from Philips to Telefunken. The Russian's product has probably the best price/quality ratio.
The general idea of using the tube in the preamplifier is to soften sound and add the audiophile's peculiar warmth.
The sound subsystem of the motherboard consists of:
Realtek ALC650 AC'97 codec;
Vacuum tube (twin triode) Sovtek 6922 (Made in Russia) which can be replaced with any similar one;
ELNA capacitors in the power circuitry of the tube;
CARDAS copper cables between the amplifier and connectors;
REL MultiCap capacitors in the sound section;
VISHAY resistors.
Quality is, thus, ensured by the tube, as well as by the whole circuitry. There is just one flaw in the device which generates sound: the DAC of the Realtek ALC650 AC'97 codec can't be called a Hi-End converter. An expensive DAC on the I2S bus from Burr-Brown or Crystal would be a better choice. Or at least an AC'97 codec from Analog Devices.
The Realtek ALC650 features such advantages as a low price, 6-channel support and easy integration into a motherboard with modern chipsets. And according to AOpen, the tube can add something that will smooth away imperfection of the cheap converter and make sound enchanting.
Here is the circuitry of the tube stage on the triode.
Triode is a primitive tube, an analog of a transistor. It consists of an anode (1), a cathode (3) and a controlling electrode - grid (2). However, there is a principle Hi-End equipment should follow: the less there are links in a chain and the higher their quality, the better the section. From this standpoint a twin triode is an excellent alternative for a stereo preamplifier on tubes.
The tube doesn't look so romantic in operation as it looks on the ads. It doesn't give much light and doesn't winkle with time in music. :)
The capacitors are really gigantic because of the voltage the tube needs to work.
The tube stage gets enabled with a jumper onboard and a special option in the BIOS.
The engineers flashed in a CD player into the BIOS which appears on the screen right after the start-up if you press and hold the Insert button.
It's interesting that music comes via an analog cable enabling the DAC in the CD-ROM drive. However, a bonus is a bonus: it's an unusual and original gimmick.
The tests were carried out in the Windows using the DAC of the codec on the motherboard.
The software is ordinary. An icon emerged in the tray enables a software sound manager.
The first tab allows choosing you a reverberation type.
Its quality is average, but sufficient for integrated sound and multimedia speakers.
The second tab offers us a digital equalizer.
The third tab of the codec's software shows an incredibly flexible configuring approach when any input can work as an output.
The next tab deals with testing speakers.
Finally we can see versions of DirectX, codec and drivers.
Test listening
The tests were carried out with the professional sound card Lynx Two (~$1400) used as a reference and the active computer acoustic system Event 20/20 bas (~$1000). The multimedia wooden speakers Microlab SOLO-1 ($50) and the same codec but on a usual mainboard for an Athlon XP came in handy as well.
The tests revealed:
In spite of my worst expectations the sound wasn't the worst of its kind!
As compared with the original, the codec coupled with the tube stage gives soft sound with a smoothed "attack" and a little blurry details, and noticeable distortions at a high volume level;
The sound is more interesting than in a pure codec but Hi-End is still far away;
Acoustic compositions with live recording sound best of all; the tube doesn't cope well with electronic music where aggressive attack and details are very important.
General impressions. It looks like a landscape through turbid glass: on the one hand, the sound is less realistic, but on the other hand, some can like it more.
The motherboard with the tube hasn't passed the tests with the Sennheiser HD600 headphones. In spite of the dedicated 1/4" connector for the headphones the output stage is probably unable to playback without reloading. The sound cracked at any volume level.
Objective tests
As usual, we used the RMAA4.0 program to take measurements.
The AFCs for 50% and 100% volume levels coincide,
the frequency response is normal
The noise level doesn't reveal noticeable pickups from high-voltage circuits of the section
The harmonic distortion level is 1..2%
- it's typical of tube equipment
The spectrograms show that the sound is rich in warm even harmonics, as well as in high uneven components. At the 50% volume level there are no more distortions after the 4th harmonic as it is exactly the tube sound sound we were promised. At the maximum level the output stage is overloaded. The signal level is quite low (-10 dB as compared to the standard level of -10 dBV) and the overload capacity of the section is low as well.
The AOpen AX4B-533 Tube motherboard is a wise marketing step of the manufacturer the primary purpose of which is to attract attention. It's probably also an interesting solution for audiophiles and everybody who miss good old tube-vinyl times. One can excellently feel the tube sound on high-quality equipment though it doesn't improve it much. The cheap AC'97 codec bounds the might of the sound. If they used a higher-class DAC, usage of the tube could be justified.

Amidst another school shooting, Trump wages war against Dems, Journalists, China, Iran, and Immigrants
Posted by Robert A. Vella May 8, 2019
By Robert A. Vella
Another mass shooting has struck an American school, this one near the site of an even worse mass shooting at a school. Meanwhile America's president is waging a multi-front war against all comers. Donald Trump is waging a political war against the U.S. House of Representatives because the Democrats who control that legislative body are attempting to perform their constitutional duty to conduct oversight of his thoroughly corrupt administration. He is waging a propaganda war against journalists in the news media who dare to investigate his shady past and behavior in the White House. Trump is waging an ill-conceived economic war against China which threatens to undermine not only the U.S. economy but also the world economy. He is on the verge of waging an incredibly dangerous military war against Iran simply because his despotic allies wish it. And, Trump is waging an ethnic war against migrants and asylum-seekers who have committed no more serious offense than wanting to escape the destitution and violence of their native countries.
These ongoing shootings, the depravity of President Trump, and many other worrisome trends, are symptoms of the demise of a once-great nation. America is at war with itself. It has lost its moral compass, its appreciation of the importance between discerning right and wrong, and the ability to correct itself. Its leaders have failed, and its people have fallen into primitiveness.
As long as Americans fight tribe against tribe, so long will they be a little people, a silly people, greedy, barbarous and cruel.
If I wasn't a U.S. citizen whose life is dependent upon the health of my country, I might be inclined to wish for America's end to come quickly. The American people as a whole deserve neither admiration nor sympathy, for we have collectively abrogated our responsibility to uphold and defend the constitutional principles which our nation was founded on.

From: Colorado school shooting: 'Mommy, there's a gun … shot at my school' near Columbine
Just a few miles from Columbine High School, gunfire echoed through the hallways of yet another Colorado school.
This time, it was the STEM School Highlands Ranch near Denver. Two suspects, believed to be students there, used a pair of handguns and opened fire in two classrooms Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.
An 18-year-old student just days away from graduation was killed, Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said Wednesday. Eight other students were shot but survived.

From: Trump Asserts Executive Privilege Over Full Mueller Report
WASHINGTON — President Trump asserted executive privilege on Wednesday in an effort to shield hidden portions of Robert S. Mueller III's unredacted report and the evidence he collected from Congress.
The assertion, Mr. Trump's first use of the secrecy powers as president, came as the House Judiciary Committee is expected to vote Wednesday morning to recommend the House of Representatives hold Attorney General William P. Barr in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena for the same material.
From: White House invokes executive privilege to bar former counsel from turning over documents to Congress
The White House on Tuesday invoked executive privilege to bar former White House counsel Donald McGahn from complying with a congressional subpoena to provide documents to Congress related to special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's investigation.
The move triggered an immediate showdown with House Democrats, who threatened to hold McGahn in contempt of Congress if he refused to testify before the committee this month.
From: N.Y. Lawmakers Move Closer to Allowing Release of Trump's State Tax Returns
ALBANY — As the standoff over President Trump'sfederal tax returns deepens in Washington, New York State lawmakers say they intend to advance a bill on Wednesday to allow congressional committees to see Mr. Trump's New York State returns.
State Senator Brad Hoylman, a Manhattan Democrat, confirmed on Tuesday that the State Senate had enough votes to ensure passage of a bill allowing the commissioner of the New York Department of Taxation and Finance to release any state tax return requested by a leader of one of three congressional committees for any "specified and legitimate legislative purpose."
A tax return from New York — the headquarters of the president's business empire and his home state — could contain much of the same financial information as a federal return, which Mr. Trump has steadfastly refused to release. On Monday, the Treasury Department denied a request from House Democrats for six years of the president's federal returns, setting up a likely court battle that could reach the Supreme Court.
From: Trade war threatens to roil 2020 race as Republicans complain about the tariffs Trump loves
As Trump prepares to run on the economy, his threat to increase tariffs on imports from China has sent the stock market diving and undercut a stretch of positive economic news. U.S. farmers and exporters, already bearing the brunt of China's retaliatory tariffs, now face the prospect of an escalated trade war in which states that Trump needs to win reelection will be in the crosshairs.
The trade war has also exposed a rift inside the White House and among the president's allies — with some officials pushing for a quick resolution to calm the markets ahead of 2020, and others warning the president that a weak deal with China could leave him politically vulnerable.

From: 'Hit job': Trump responds to report he lost more than $1 billion over decade
President Donald Trump is still fighting Congress over the release of his tax returns, but a new report on Tuesday analyzing his official Internal Revenue Service tax transcripts, with the figures from his federal tax forms, shows he lost over $1 billion from 1985 to 1994.
The documents show Trump's businesses lost $1.17 billion over the 10 years, including $46.1 million in 1985 and hundreds of millions by the time of his much-publicized early-1990s financial collapse, according to a report in The New York Times, which acquired the tax documents.
The president has often portrayed himself as having a "golden touch" in all businesses during the 1980s, before fighting back from serious financial debt — due to struggles with his casino business — in the 1990s. His infamous book, "The Art of the Deal," was released in 1987, right in the middle of the years covered in the tax documents.
From: Court says Trump can continue policy requiring asylum seekers to remain in Mexico
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday ruled that the Trump administration can continue to enforce a policy requiring some asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while their cases are processed.
The ruling from the San Francisco-based appeals court places a stay on a preliminary injunction on the asylum policy issued by a lower court.
The panel of judges wrote in the opinion that the Department of Homeland Security had shown that it suffer irreparable harm if the policy was halted because it "takes off the table one of the few congressionally authorized measures available to process the approximately 2,000 migrants who are currently arriving at the Nation's southern border on a daily basis."
However, some of the judges were highly critical of DHS's implementation of the policy in individual opinions authored on the decision, signaling that they could eventually oppose the policy in a later ruling.
Judge Paul Watford, an Obama nominee, wrote in his opinion that he believes the administration's treatment of the asylum seekers is in violation of the U.S.'s obligation to not return those migrants to countries where they could face persecution.
From: Iran threatens more uranium enrichment if no new nuke deal
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran threatened Wednesday to resume higher enrichment of uranium in 60 days if world powers fail to negotiate new terms for its 2015 nuclear deal a year after President Donald Trump withdrew from the accord, raising tensions as a U.S. aircraft carrier and a bomber wing were deployed to confront unspecified threats from Tehran.
In a televised address, President Hassan Rouhani also said that Iran would stop exporting excess uranium and heavy water from its nuclear program, two requirements of the deal. He did not elaborate on the degree to which Iran was prepared to enrich uranium, which at high levels of enrichment can be used in nuclear weapons.
Rouhani said Iran wanted to negotiate new terms with remaining partners in the deal, but acknowledged that the situation was dire.

Robert A. Vella says:
These bastards are really trying to start a war with Iran.
I suspect they will. Netanyahu has been frothing at the mouth, and now he's empowered with his reelection victory. The Saudis got away with assassinating a journalist, and Mueller let Trump off the hook.
inspiredbythedivine1 says:
"..we have collectively abrogated our responsibility to uphold and defend the constitutional principles which our nation was founded on." Yep. This is bad, brother. BAD!!! I'm afraid.
I'm afraid too.
Robert, it saddens me to agree with your opening remarks. America is, indeed, at war with itself. Thanks for the info about the PBS FRONTLINE documentary: Trump's Trade War. I'll check it out.
My pleasure, Ros.
All of my various intense emotions Robert, now very quickly reach their end every month(?), every week(?) ANOTHER mass shooting (or intended to be more massive than what occurred) is reported again, and again and again. Now what I am afraid of is that this sort of new trend, a RISING trend of reprehensible human behavior will become normalized or marginalized… if it hasn't already! What else can be said that hasn't already been repeatedly screamed by wounded victims, victim's families, peace-loving citizens, and rational gun-control organizations and legal teams?
Is the time for talk and same ole same ole political rhetoric over? WAY OVER!? How many more body bags of children, Pre-K to 12, teachers and staff, or anyone else at the wrong place/wrong time… have to be lined up on the pavement outside at the crime-scene for these Congressional members to TAKE ACTION!!!? Another Pearl Harbor? Another 9/11 twin towers!? Is that what it takes? Seriously???? 😲🤬
Well said, Professor. BTW, how are you doing these days?
I'm managing Robert, thank you kindly for asking. ❤
I can't predict the future about my family situation, i.e. my elderly Mom and addict sister, which now often affects my job/career situation due to the fact 79-yr old Mom does not wish to live anywhere near a mega-metroplex (DFW) 😄 distance… and my sister cannot due to drugs & dealers around every corner. So when anything major happens, I have 3.5 to 5-hours to travel/drive. As my Mom is only getting older and with that comes rising medical/health issues, by default, the one and only functioning, reliable & trustworthy family member (me) is responsible for decisions, actions, etc. And yet, my sort of work and future is by no means in rural, remote areas of Texas where the number of corporations or opportunities do not exist. LOL Duh, right? 😉
Sometimes we can't always do what we really want to do when family is one of life's top priorities, huh? 😛
Families… I can relate. Best wishes, sir.
❤ It's life. We do our best. 🙂 Again, thank you so much Robert for asking.

"I was VERY excited (and GRATEFUL) to get your email. My current "love" is working with Precious Metal Clay. I love it because it's easy, it's quick and almost anything becomes inspiration for a new piece.
I have just moved to FL from McKinney, TX. I am busy creating new pieces as most of my current work is at a newly opened store in McKinney, TX called Art On The Veranda, which carries local artists work. I mentioned "current" because like many artist, it's never just one thing that grabs our attention. I have received awards, and have been published for my porcelain painting. I have created stained glass pieces and many other artistic creations….but PMC has held my heart the longest.
Nature is perhaps my biggest inspiration. My husband laughs at me sometimes, when he sees me stop to study something on our walks. Sometimes it's a particularly textured leaf, sometimes a texture in the concrete, or sidewalk, sometimes a bud from a Crepe Myrtle or the way the light plays off of a building….it's all inspiration.
I purchased some Stalactite gemstones from Cool Tools which will be in my next pieces. Since I now live in "Gator" land, I am trying to keep that in mind when designing a new piece. The Stalactite gemstone will have a alligator texture backing. I have also purchased (from COOL TOOLS, of course) some orange and blue gemstone (UF colors) which I will be embedding in earrings.
What is there not to love about creating with precious metal clay? I also cannot imagine a source better than COOLTOOLS to be MY source for everything I need to make beautiful jewelry. I received my PMC certification from a senior artist in NYC, Vera Lightstone many years ago. I was born in Rome Italy have lived all over the world and speak several languages fluently. I have two adult sons who live in NJ.
After every purchase, you have the opportunity to review your products. Your reviews help fellow jewelry artists better understand the products we offer. You can review any product by simply going to the product page and clicking "write a review". Each review gives you an entry into our review contest. Help us congratulate Francesca!

With today's gadgets ruling the everyday world, some people don't even know what's inside these convenient packages. Amongst all the electronic components and associated boards is insulation. From foam to silicone tubing, insulating materials are probably one of the most important parts of a smartphone or tablet. Understanding their use gives you better insight into the device's functioning power. A leader in the electronics industry, Gamma Electronics agrees that insulation is critical as they base most of their sales off it.
Electronic signals can't flow infinitely through a cable or wire. In fact, the wire itself absorbs some of the signal, making it nearly indecipherable on the receiving end of the circuit. To combat signal issues, thick insulation around the wire is a solution. By isolating the wire's signals with considerable insulation, the signal has less chance of being absorbed and muted down the circuit. Depending on the device, electronic engineers alter the insulation's thickness to achieve clear signal transmission. Your computer, smartphone and other devices couldn't work as well without the insulation help.
Whether you run a small laptop or a huge company server, all electronics generate heat. Most electronics have some form of fan or cooling mechanism to keep hot air out of the wire space. Electronic components, from capacitors to transistors, heat up during use. If a wire lays across these items with poor insulation, the wire itself could warp or crack. Insulation is necessary to keep heat away from sensitive electronic components. When core items are covered precisely, the entire device has a longer lifespan with less emitted heat.
Even the simplest electronic circuit releases signals into the surrounding air. Electrical interference is a constant concern for device engineers, especially in small items, including cell phones. Insulation also buffers interference within a device. From Bluetooth to cellphone signals, smartphones release many communication waves into the surrounding air. It's up to the insulation to keep those signals isolated from one another. If you took out the insulation, signal crossing and interference take over the device. You'll see poor connection and barely any conversations completed with bad or missing insulation.
One of the most important uses for insulation is preventing arcing and shorting. Arcing occurs when two open electrical pulses meet one another, forming a visual arc of power that can actually burns electronics. Shorting components is the electrical connection of two items not meant to complete a circuit. Both of these occurrences are damaging to devices, requiring insulation to stop the phenomena. With buffered electrical connections, electron flows only follow the correct path to power the item safely.
If you ever encounter a device operating strangely, such as a smartphone shutting on and off intermittently, insulation problems could be the issue. If you feel comfortable, looking at the internal components can often give you an obvious answer to your problem. Broken wire insulation or even loose insulation creates mayhem inside the electronic. You could fix your problem instead of buying a new device in some cases.

How Do I View Videos On Facebook - Facebook is an ever-changing system, as well as it's not always simple to locate the location of some of your material from eventually to the following. Customer Videos aren't plainly promoted on Facebook Timelines, however you can find them through the Photos section. Video clips that you have actually recently posted to Facebook additionally appear on your Timeline - as well as the Timelines of people you have actually labelled - and could show up in the News Feed too.
You could search to your Facebook Timeline to locate the Videos you have actually uploaded to the social media network. One way of doing this is to click on your name to the left side of the major Information Feed, pick "Photos" select "Albums" and then click the "Videos" option. Hover over a thumbnail to see 2 icons appear; choose the Play symbol to see the video or the Edit one - marked with a pen sign - to make modifications to the video, such as the subtitle and also individuals marked in it.
To see your Facebook friends' uploaded Videos on their Timelines, open a friend's Timeline, select "Photos" choose "Albums" then click "Videos" to see the clips. As these Videos don't belong to you, you can only play them-- there is no alternative to earn changes, though you could add a comment or a like. Just like the other web content on Facebook, Videos have their own privacy settings, so you can just see clips if their approved audience includes you.
The Videos album is not readily available in Facebook's official mobile apps since the current versions available in January 2014, so you could not check out video content on your mobile phone or tablet. Nor is it possible to view your video collections on the mobile variation of Facebook's website. The restrictions of video playback on mobile phones, along with the huge amounts of bandwidth used to reveal video content, might be among the reasons that Facebook does not sustain the feature on smart phones at this time.
When you publish a video to Facebook, it is saved in the service's information centers located in numerous locations throughout the world, along with all the other material published on the social media network. The video sent out to Facebook could be maximized slightly for viewing on the internet, however the original documents continues to be on your computer system and isn't affected.
Videos in News Feed have formerly played quietly-- you tap on a video to hear noise. As people enjoy even more video on phones, they have actually pertained to anticipate sound when the volume on their tool is switched on. After examining noise on in News Feed as well as listening to positive feedback, we're slowly bringing it to even more individuals. With this upgrade, audio fades in and out as you scroll via Videos in News Feed, bringing those Videos to life.
If your phone is set to quiet, Videos will not have fun with noise. If you never desire Videos to have fun with sound, you could disable this attribute by switching off "Videos in News Feed Start With Sound" in Setups. We'll also be revealing in-product messages to inform individuals regarding the new sound on experience and also controls.
We've additionally made changes to make upright Videos look better on mobile devices. Last year we started checking a bigger preview of upright Videos in Information Prey on mobile. Individuals responded favorably, so that bigger style is currently offered to everybody watching Videos on iOS as well as Android.
We know that sometimes you want to view a video and want to keep scrolling with your News Feed. It's currently possible to lessen the video you're viewing to a picture-in-picture view that maintains having fun in the corner of your screen while you search other stories in News Feed. You could drag the video to any kind of edge of the screen, and if you're utilizing an Android device, you can maintain the video playing also when you leave the Facebook application to do another thing on your phone.
Ultimately, we have actually heard that people desire even more alternatives for how and where they watch Facebook Videos. Today we're introducing a brand-new Facebook video app for TV, which will roll out quickly to app shops for Apple TV, Amazon Fire TELEVISION and also Samsung Smart TV, with even more platforms ahead.
Our video app for TELEVISION is a new way to appreciate Facebook Videos on a bigger display. In 2014 we turned out the capability for you to stream Videos from Facebook to your TELEVISION, and today's news expands this ability. With the app, you can see Videos shared by friends or Pages you comply with, top real-time Videos from worldwide, as well as advised Videos based on your passions. You could additionally catch up on Videos you have actually conserved to enjoy later, in addition to take another look at Videos you have actually seen, shared or submitted. We look forward to seeing how individuals utilize the application to enjoy Facebook Videos in a new way.

A limit order for an extra 1% allocation in TriQuint Semiconductor (TQNT) at $6.78 has just hit. This fills a small gap created in late February, and takes us just over the 50 day moving average. Poor stock cannot get any traction despite what I consider good news almost every month. Strictly a trading stock as trends don't hold.
If the stock bleeds through the $6.50s area I have to cut back, but for now am happy to buy the pullback.
I am covering the American Superconductor (AMSC) short created March 4th, for a 6.5% gain. While I think more downside could be ahead, Larry Summer has me frightened of my own shadow in terms of shorting. Or better put I have to take my gains quickly; this was a 2.5% allocation.
I will reshort AMSC on any bounce, but in the meantime am looking for (2) new candidates to short in individual equities that are just now breaking down.

Keith Williams Architects has been shortlisted to take part in the RIBA Competition to design the new Southmere Library, the focal building within the ongoing regeneration of London's Thamesmead.
The international architectural contest, which is backed by housing association Peabody and the local authority Bexley Council, attracted 58 entries.
The new £4.5 million civic building, will sit within a masterplan by architects Proctor & Matthews and Mecanoo, on the south side of Southmere Lake close to the easternmost terminus of the new Crossrail line at Abbey Wood.
The landmark project is part of Peabody's phased £1.5 billion regeneration of the 1960s housing estate, which notoriously featured in the film A Clockwork Orange, and will provide new, existing and future generations of the local community, with a state of the art library and civic building.
Competitors have until 21 September to submit their proposals with a winner to be announced in November.
Keith Williams Architects has secured planning permission for a new contemporary farm house near Cowfold in West Sussex, in the High Weald AONB.

The new house presents relatively closed elevations to the three existing buildings to its west, north and east, before opening up toward the south with expressive horizontal planes and large areas of glazing to engage with spectacular views across the Estate's rolling farmland, the Weald and to the South Downs beyond.
"Securing permission for a contemporary house in the countryside is never straightforward and we are delighted that the project has been approved after some 18 months of careful and patient dialogue with the planners at Horsham District Council. We now plan to start the technical design phases and move toward construction in the new year".

This year's Honorary Graduates' Award for Inclusive Practice has been awarded to the Careers Service and a team from the Library and Learning Centre. The joint winners share a £1000 practice development fund and have been invited to attend the Graduation Dinner at the V & A Dundee. The Library and Learning Centre team were honoured for creating a new Leisure Reading Collection in the Broughty Ferry Beach Club area of the Main Library with the aim of supporting student integration, attainment, well-being, and stress reduction.
The Leisure Reading collection was noted as one of a number of submissions of engaging and thoughtful practice which demonstrate support for the enhancement of the learning experience for students. The creation of the Leisure Reading Collection was viewed by the judging panel as 'as positive approach' to the promotion of recreational reading to support integration and the development of language skills. It was seen to be 'new and different' and to provide 'inclusivity for a wide range of students'. The judges also felt that there is real potential here to impact positively on socialisation and wellbeing.
"I am delighted that this project has been recognised," said Hannah Whaley, Assistant Director of the Library and Learning Centre. "Reading beyond academic texts has been shown to have positive benefits for academic achievement, well-being and personal development. The project team were all committed to creating something of value to our students."
The positive reaction from students to the collection means it is now being expanded into additional spaces being created across all University of Dundee library sites for the new academic year. The collections will also be updated and refreshed with new stock each year, and students are able to email in suggestions and requests.
The leisure reading collection launched in January 2019 with 427 titles across the following genres:
Fiction:- Bestsellers, Crime, Fantasy, Graphic Novels, Fiction in translation, Historical Novels, Mystery, & Science Fiction
Non-Fiction:- Biographies, Cookery, Health (incl Mindfulness & Yoga), History, Music, Sport & Travel

Big win thanks to a big ship: MogerMedia wins Gold at Communicator Awards
Her 14-inch guns came to life at 5:30am on June 6th, 1944 just off Omaha Beach. It was the start of D-Day. In commemoration of this pivotal moment in World War II, we spent a day on The Battleship Texas, now resting at San Jacinto, documenting some of the 725,415 miles she steamed though both World Wars I and II. Best of all, we got to shoot in parts of this ship few ever see.
Battleship Texas D-Day Anniversary Video
The Texas is credited with advances in gunnery, aviation and radar. Then, after the war, she spent three months ferrying home American troops before being decommissioned.
The HomeShow Video feature we produced aboard The Texas earned MogerMedia gold in the national Communicator Awards competition. While we're proud to add this trophy, along with 18 others won this year, to our case, we remain humbled by and grateful for the men men who served aboard this might ship in both in time of war and ever since preserving her for the ages.

Delaware Gambling
A Gamble on Gambling
DELAWARE -- As reported by the Delaware News Journal: "With up to 14 slots parlors expected to open in Pennsylvania as early as next year, gaming industry experts say Delaware has two choices.
"The state can fight for market share by expanding gambling with table games and sports betting, reducing its take from casinos to encourage re-investment in casino hotels and resort complexes, and allowing smoking at casinos.
"Or the state can get used to doing without a large portion of the nearly $200 million in revenue it has come to expect from its three racetrack casinos.
"Many areas have gone through a similar fight and have come out stronger in the end, said Roger Gros of the trade publication Global Gaming Business.
"…Starting next year, the first slots parlors are expected to open across Pennsylvania, with up to 61,000 slot machines statewide. That's more slots than all of the Las Vegas strip or Atlantic City.
"…More than 70 percent of Delaware's slots players come from outside Delaware. State officials estimate gambling revenues to state government will be cut by $35 million annually when Pennsylvania slots parlors open.


Tax resolution firms are a misnomer. They exact high fees from unassuming consumers and seldom resolve anything. These firms are a relatively recent development, and they are becoming a serious problem for consumers in our country.
These ads are, of course, false. The IRS rarely accepts an offer in compromise. There are much better ways of securing relief from a threatened or actual levy (seizure) of a taxpayer's wages or bank account. But the unsophisticated people targeted by the ads do not know this. Many taxpayers are facing IRS levy of their wages or bank account. A taxpayer who calls the tax resolution firm is connected with a high-pressure salesperson, and maybe with two of them. The taxpayer is assured that the firm will settle and resolve the taxpayer's tax obligations. The salespeople earn commissions and large bonuses. Tax resolution firms take large retainers, typically $5,000-$10,000. The taxpayer somehow comes up with the retainer money. It is unlikely that an offer in compromise will even be submitted to IRS on the taxpayer's behalf.
Employees of the tax resolution firm send the taxpayer form letters requesting information by artificial deadlines. When there is no response to the letters, the tax resolution firm does not bother to call the taxpayer. Instead the tax resolution firm deems the matter concluded and closes its file, the taxpayer realizing no relief. If the taxpayer requests a refund of fees paid to the tax resolution firm, the firm relentlessly refuses. All of this is pursuant to fine print in the retainer agreement which the tax resolution firm required the taxpayer to sign. That fine print also undoubtedly has language exculpating the tax resolution firm from liability to its client.
The taxpayer still owes his balance to the IRS. In fact the balance is now higher with additional accrued penalties and interest. And the taxpayer is out the fees paid to the tax resolution scam.
Not surprisingly, there is much litigation against tax resolution firms. J.K. Harris & Co., of Charleston, South Carolina is the largest such firm, with 325 local offices and $100 million in annual revenue. CPA John K. Harris founded the firm in 1997. The firm has been sued numerous times throughout the country. In 2007 it settled a class action brought in Charleston County, South Carolina Circuit Court for $6.2 million. In 2008 it settled a suit brought by the attorneys general of 18 states for $1.5 million.
Attorney Roni Deutch, of North Highlands, California, opened her tax resolution firm in her condo in 1991. Today it enjoys $25 million in annual revenue. Deutch advertises heavily on TV, especially in California, where she is known as "the Tax Lady or the lady in charge in accounting." Deutch has been the object of much litigation. In 2007 she settled a suit brought by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs agreeing to pay $200,000 restitution to consumers and $100,000 in fines to the City. On August 25, 2010, the California Attorney General sued Deutch in Sacramento County Superior Court seeking $33.9 million in restitution, civil penalties, and a permanent injunction. The pleadings and exhibits are eye-opening.

There is no case in human history of fiat money not to end in inflation. It is just a matter of time. But from the thousands types of money that were used in history, all they one day have become useless and uncovered pieces of paper. The reason of this is very simple – the value of this money is guaranteed not by any type of value that belongs to the money itself. The value is guaranteed by the government, i.e. by politicians that always at the end destroy this money. Theoretically paper money can do a good job, and even serve better that the gold or silver, but this is valid only in a case if politicians are responsible and do not conduct foolish policies. Unfortunately the history proves exactly the opposite – the politics often changes and sooner or later, any politician makes foolishness.

Ranveer Singh gets legal notice from WWE star Brock Lesnar's advocate Paul Heyman
Published Jun 20, 2019, 6:53 pm IST
Updated Jun 20, 2019, 6:55 pm IST
During India-Pakistan cricket match that took place on Sunday, Ranveer managed to steal limelight with his high voltage energy.

New Delhi: Brock Lesnar's advocate Paul Heyman has sent a notice to Ranveer Singh for apparently using his catchphrase 'Eat, Sleep, Conquer, Repeat', in a twisted manner.
During the latest India-Pakistan cricket match that took place on Sunday, Ranveer managed to steal the limelight with his high voltage energy in the commentary box and later with his Instagram posts where he shared pictures with some of the popular cricket legends and current team members.
From posing for a selfie with Sachin Tendulkar to some candid pictures with Shikhar Dhawan, Ranveer posted it all on his Instagram feed. However, one of these updates caught the attention of Heyman.

In a post where the actor can be seen sharing a selfie with Hardik Pandya, the caption read, "Eat, Sleep, Dominate, Repeat". He also shared the photo on Twitter. Reacting to the caption, Lesnar's advocate retweeted the picture and wrote, "@RanveerOfficial ARE YOU F'N KIDDING ME???????????"
However, the twist in the story is that Ranveer did not exactly use Heyman catchphrase. In fact, the advocate himself pointed out in the same tweet that his catchline is "It's Eat Sleep CONQUER Repeat", which he has the copyright for.
While many view the reply as a mere warning, it turns out that Heyman has taken things one step further as he has served a legal notice to the actor for using the catchphrase which was popularised by Lesnar inside the wrestling ring.
In his latest tweet, tagging a report by a publication that said that the advocate "warned" the actor, Heyman clarified that it wasn't just a warning and that he has actually sent a legal notice to the advocate.
"I didn't warn. I served noticed. And while I applaud @TheStatesmanLtd for their coverage of #YourHumbleAdvocate and @BrockLesnar, I must stress that I am not a manager (what an outdated, antiquated term). I am an #Advocate. And I'm the best #Advocate in history," he tweeted.
While the celebrity advocate has been constantly tweeting about the incident, the Bollywood actor is yet to give an official statement.

Truffaldina – Jess O'Connor
Smeraldina – Krista Cobbold
Pantalone – Ian Martin
Dottore – Jake Haas
Beatrice – Claire Lampson

Silvio – Lucca McKay
Brighella – Lailah Meyer

Clarice – Alysa Buckler
Silvio – Caleb Richards
Florindo – Devin Salmonsen
Director – Jenifer Coté
The play opens with the engagement of two young lovers, Silvio (Lucca/Caleb) and Clarice (Alysa B/Alyssa G). For financial reasons, Clarice had previously been betrothed to Federigo Rasponi of Turin, but to her delight, he was murdered and so she is now free to marry her true love, Silvio—also much to the delight of Silvio's blustering and professorial father, Dottore (Jake).
Next to arrive on the scene is Beatrice (Emma/Claire), who has come to Venice disguised as her brother, the deceased Federigo Rasponi (former fiancé of Clarice). Her plan: to recover the dowry to which her dead brother was entitled from Clarice's father, Pantalone (Ian), and use the money to hire a lawyer to free her lover, Florindo (Devin/Jack), from persecution. The fact that Florindo has been accused of her brother's murder causes Beatrice some consternation, but the heart wants what it wants.
We also meet Truffaldino (Jake/Jess), the comical servant to Beatrice, who is always complaining of an empty stomach and always trying to satisfy his hunger by eating everything in sight. When the opportunity presents itself to be the servant of another master who has just come to town (Florindo, Beatrice's lover), he sees the chance for an extra paycheck and dinner, and even though serving two masters is highly frowned upon, seizes the opportunity.
Truffaldino runs around Venice carrying out the orders of two masters and living in a constant state of anxiety that his clever scheme will be revealed, especially because other characters repeatedly hand him letters, money, etc., and say simply "this is for your master," without specifying which one. To complicate matters, Beatrice and Florindo are staying in the same inn—run by the often frightening innkeeper Brighella (Lailah)—and are desperately searching for each other. To further complicate matters, and in order to cover for his many mistakes, Truffaldino creates a fictitious scapegoat—another servant named Donaldo Trump.
In the end, with the help of Smeraldina (Krista/ Michele)—Pantalone's feisty servant, who is smitten with Truffaldino—Beatrice and Florindo eventually find each other. And with Beatrice exposed as a woman (and not suddenly-back-from-the-dead Federigo Rasponi), Clarice is at last allowed to marry Silvio. Florindo also turns out to be innocent of the murder of Beatrice's brother, Federigo Rasponi, and therefore he and Beatrice are free to marry. The last matter up for discussion is whether the servants, Truffaldino and Smeraldina, can get married—a development which at last exposes Truffaldino for having been a servant to two masters all along. Unless he can convince them it was all the fault of the "other servant," Donaldo Trump!
Director's Note
by Jenifer Coté, Theater Director
About the Production & Design Studio Class
Trying something new is always an adventure, so last year when we decided to add a new course to the theater offerings at SA—one that would conclude with a second theater production—I was both excited and apprehensive. It has always been part of my vision as Director of Theater at SA to increase the technical theater and design program and to give more students real leadership experience behind the scenes on our productions. Adding a spring performance also allows us to incorporate fall and winter athletes into our cast and crew. With the addition of the Production & Design Studio class, which meets during the academic school day, I think we have taken great strides toward making these two visions a reality.
Under some wonderful and skilled adult guidance (Ryan Severt, Sean Freese, Pamela Johnson, and Robin DeLuca), the technical theater students did a tremendous amount of work in helping to design and create the set, lights, props, costumes, and poster. While the actors rehearsed, the "crew" would head to the shop each class period to build. We also had our first student lighting designer on a main stage show (go MacKenzie!). The actors used class time to re-write the text as a group, which was both an enormous undertaking and ultimately a fulfilling challenge, as we debated additions to the text and made the adaptation our own. It was truly a collaborative environment with everyone working towards a common goal and enjoying the ensemble nature of the creative process of staging a full production!
I chose The Servant of Two Masters because of the fantastic adaptation I saw at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival years ago. That performance paid homage to the classical 1700s text, but added a modern and irreverent twist. I also liked the challenge this material created for the students in exploring a new genre and introducing them to the improvisational and "over the top" stock character work required for Commedia Dell'Arte. In keeping with the true Commedia tradition, our actors have added current social and political commentary to the text—references drawn from contemporary culture and recognizable to the community where the production itself takes place. You may notice a lot of "inside jokes" that feel very Sonoma Academy, but that is how the troupes of the 1700s would engage their audiences as they moved from town to town, seeking out information about the social climate and creating jokes about their current audience and community. And considering some of the darker and more provocative material we have addressed over the past few years, the timing felt right for a light and fun period comedy.
Acknowledgments and Deep Appreciation
With the amount of time we actually had to both teach and learn to build in the course of one block period per day—and under the pressure of getting the set and costumes completed in time for the opening—we could not have been more blessed with the parent support that appeared on this production. Just when we needed it most, Krista Cobbold's parents, Robert and Nina, dropped in like angels from above (a real Deus ex Machina moment) and spent countless hours pulling everything together, often with personal items from their "magical barn." I am so grateful for their expertise
and skill and the tremendous amount of time they dedicated to helping us with the set, props, and costumes—all with great warmth and a true educational spirit. I would also like to thank our very own Sean Freese for taking it upon himself to help me with this course, not only for helping to redesign and reconstruct our shop space to make it more user friendly for building, but for the countless hours he dedicated to our class this semester.
I would also like to thank the other adult leadership on this production: my dear friend Kate Brickley, who helped with voice/speech and dialect; Pamela Johnson, who came in to lecture on Costume Design; and Larry Williams, who organized a Commedia workshop for the actors. We were also fortunate to have very strong student leadership on this production. Sarah and Stacey were an outstanding team in the roles of Assistant Director and Stage Manager. Stacey also took on a huge role in construction (wielding power tools like a boss), and I appreciate all the hours she dedicated to building the set.
And as always, I am particularly grateful to YASA for their tireless help throughout this process with meals, concessions, ticketing, and house management. The Arts at SA rely on YASA heavily and we so appreciate their presence and nurturing support! Also a final thanks to the parents, staff, and students at Sonoma Academy for helping the arts to flourish on our campus, and for always supporting and championing our productions!


Experimental and numerical analyzes were performed to investigate the aerodynamic performances of a realistic vehicle with a different afterbody rounding. This afterbody rounding resulted in a reduction to drag and lift at a yaw angle of zero, while the crosswind performances were degraded. Rounding the side pillars generated moderate changes to the drag and also caused important lift reductions. A minor effect on the drag force was found to result from the opposite drag effects on the slanted and vertical surfaces. The vorticity distribution in the near wake was also analyzed to understand the flow field modifications due to the afterbody rounding. Crosswind sensitivity was investigated to complete the analysis of the aerodynamic performances of the rounded edges models.


Travel insurance should always be one of the most important considerations when it comes to preparing for a trip with your loved ones.
By making sure you have the right family travel cover for your trip, you can rest assured that things will be taken care of if something doesn't quite go according to plan.
Considering whether you're better off taking out a policy that covers your entire group rather than individuals is one way of keeping down the cost of travel insurance while ensuring you have the protection you all need.
If you search for travel insurance through Gocompare.com you'll be asked whether the policy is for an individual, a couple, a family or a group.
Note that to arrange a policy for a couple, each person must be an adult aged 18 or over, they must be in a relationship and living at the same address.
For families or groups, the first traveller must be aged 18 or over and you can then add a maximum of another one adult plus anything up to eight children.
You'll need to add the dates of birth of all travellers and will be asked to declare if you or anyone in your party has any pre-existing medical conditions that will affect the application.
All the policy options you see will include cover for medical expenses, cancellation and personal baggage as standard features, and you'll see information from independent financial researcher Defaqto to help you assess the quality of the options and whether they're suitable for your family's needs.
There can be a number of benefits to arranging travel insurance as a group rather than individuals, not least simplified paperwork and the fact that you'll only have to deal with one provider.
On top of this you may well find that arranging group cover in this way will prove cheaper than taking out individual policies.
A family policy could offer higher cover levels for things such as cancellation cover, alternative accommodation and baggage cover.
It's possible that a provider will offer free cover for travellers under the age of 18, while an annual policy may cover the adult on additional trips they make without the rest of the family or group.
Cover limits should apply per person, meaning that if the limit was £200 then a family of four could potentially claim £200 each - a total of £800 - in the event of a problem.
Remember that some or all members of your group may already have travel insurance cover, perhaps as part of an annual, multi-trip policy.
Such cover is not limited to dedicated travel insurance policies.
It may, for example, come with a packaged bank account or a premium credit card.
There can be many problems associated with doubling up on insurance cover, including complicating any claims process.
Remember also that the excess on a policy will apply to each person, meaning that if the excess was £50 and four people made a claim, the total excess payable could be £200.
Annual family travel cover is available and can offer better value than buying several separate policies if you make a few trips in a 12-month period.
Whether you opt for annual or single-trip travel insurance for your family, make sure there are no restrictions on the ages of the children in your party.
Don't forget to check things such as whether or not the policy only covers children living at your address or who are related to you. Some family travel insurance policies are tailored towards single parents, so make sure you get one which suits your circumstances.
If you've named your children on your family travel policy you may assume that they're also covered if they're taken on holidays by their grandparents - but this isn't necessarily the case.
In April 2014, Gocompare.com analysed 545 annual travel insurance policies and found that 337 of them covered both adults and children to travel separately, 159 only applied this cover to adults and 49 offered no cover if the policyholder wasn't travelling.
"Grandparents shouldn't assume that their grandkids are insured, or can be added, to their travel policy," said travel insurance expert Caroline Lloyd.
"The kids might also not be covered by their own family's travel insurance when travelling with grandparents.
"It's been found that some insurers cover children if they're travelling independently of the main policyholder, which in this case would be the parent, as long as they're with a responsible adult and have parental consent, while others say that the children would need to be included on the same policy as the grandparents.
"When buying a travel policy and travelling as a family or a couple, some insurers may require that all those named on the policy live at the same address.
"If you're in doubt, then pick up the phone and speak to your travel insurance provider before the trip and check what would be the best way to cover your grandchildren."
Step-families are a familiar part of modern life, but it seems that not all insurers have kept pace with the times and people travelling with an extended family would be well advised to check their travel insurance documents with care.
In January 2014, Gocompare.com examined 473 annual policies using data from independent financial research company Defaqto and found that only 297 covered step-children regardless of whether they live with the main insured person or not, while 174 stated that the step-children must live with the main insured person to be included in the cover.
If you have a family travel insurance policy, some of the insurers that don't automatically cover step-children will allow you to name such dependants on a policy, sometimes at an extra premium.
As always with insurance, it's recommended that you shop around and carefully read the terms and conditions of policies in order to ensure you have the right product for your needs.
"Step-families are increasingly common in today's society, so it seems strange that children from such families aren't included on travel insurance policies as a matter of course," said Lloyd.
"Whether the child lives for the majority of time with the main insured person or not, when they are holidaying together as a family, the child is a dependant of that person, whether they are a birth parent or step-parent.
"One way around this is to ensure that, when a family with step-children are planning a holiday, the biological parent buys the travel insurance, not the step-parent. That way all children will be covered as they won't be deemed step-children.
"If your family includes step-children on both sides, make sure your insurer covers all of the children before buying. Again, checking the fine print of your insurance documents will mean that you won't get caught without cover.
"If you're in doubt about whether your current policy protects your step-children, then call your travel insurance provider.
"They should be able tell you straight away, and if you need additional cover to protect them, you might be able to add that to your policy."
If you're travelling with your family in Europe, make sure you obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) for each person before you go. The EHIC is free and allows you to access some free and reduced-cost state-provided medical treatment whilst you're away.
But remember that the card isn't a replacement for full family holiday insurance and won't cover things such as the cost of getting home quickly in an emergency. The card isn't valid in all countries, so read our EHIC guide to find out more.
