Following retrofit work performed by Nicolás Correa Service, S.A. on this second-hand CORREA CF20/20, this milling machine was finally sold and installed in early summer in a company in the region, with the NC Service guarantee of quality.
This bed type CORREA CF20/20 milling machine, manufactured in 1996, offers a travel of 2,000 mm on its X axis and 800 mm on its Y and Z axes. Its features include hardened and ground steel slideways in conjunction with non-friction material counterslides on all three axes, in addition to a Heidenhain TNC-407 numerical control and universal manual head.
This CORREA CF20/20 had already been retrofitted by NC Service back in 2014 for a leading English company in the automotive sector, which had opted for the technological upgrade and retrofit of a number of its CORREA milling machines, a task performed by NC Service at its facilities. This CORREA milling machine was then acquired by NC Service in 2017, when this English company decided to stop using this machine and to acquire machines with a greater capacity.
Once at the NC Service facilities, the retrofit work included the complete disassembly of all the structural components, priming and painting, the replacement of bearings, the pre-loading of spindles on all three axes, the inspection and adjustment for the correct operation of the axle guides, the complete inspection of the manual milling head, and the disassembly and inspection of the electric components and CNC.
The end customer for this milling machine was finally the Valladolid-based company PUTSCH NERVA, S.A., which is part of the German group PUTSCH®. In its search for the most suitable milling machine, this company opted for the quality of the CORREA brand and the expertise of NC Service in its retrofit work. This is what the company´s Technical Manager had to say, a few days ago: "When deciding on the purchase of a CORREA milling machine, there were a number of strong points in favour of this: firstly the robustness and good performance of our old CORREA machine, which has been operating for more than ten years now, and which we wanted to replace. We also valued the proximity of our factory to Nicolás Correa Service for after-sales service".
The core activity of PUTSCH NERVA is the manufacture of machinery for the sugar industry. The company also produces cutters for the glass window industry while it is also able to meet many other demanding requirements within the mechanical industry. The company therefore decided to withdraw its old CORREA A10 milling machine and to replace it with another machine with greater capacity and performance, finally purchasing the CORREA CF20/20.
This company, which has a certified quality system and is committed to continuous improvement and to customer satisfaction and loyalty, considers the purchase of yet another CORREA milling machine, retrofitted by NC Service on this occasion, to be a clear commitment to quality and to good work.


This is a sliding lock, designed by Bogul. I've made it easy to print it by including the 3MF project file where everything is in-situ. This saves the need for most of the support material and saves you from having to glue the pin into the bolt-bar because they're now printed already merged together.
You can print the entire thing at once with an Ultimaker 3 or S5 or another printer capable of printing soluble supports by loading the .3MF project file in Cura.
Important: It's really tidy how it slides (tight tolerances), but you might want to print the bolt a bit smaller because that will allow you to use it without spending days soaking out the PVA. The tight gaps make it really hard for the PVA to dissolve.

2 The Square,
Witheridge,
Andy and Barbara Would like to welcome you to The Mitre Inn, a Grade Two listed building situated on the Two Moors Way in the lovely village of Witheridge, midway between Dartmoor to the South, and Exmoor to the North.
Built by the Benson family in 1840 with the intention of catching the passing trade brought about by the opening of the new Turnpike Road, Aston House, later to be renamed The Mitre, was on the site previously occupied by Hodge's Tenement which was demolished to make way for the new building. Only one part of the original tenement remains, and is now known as Mitre Cottage
The Mitre Inn has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere providing Bed and Breakfast accommodation, a full licensed bar serving an excellent selection of beers, wine and spirits including local Real Ale, and a separate restaurant with an extensive menu. Many dishes are home made. Food is also available as a take-away for those people on the go!
The Mitre Inn has four letting bedrooms, two double bedrooms, a further double bedroom with en-suite facilities, but with a shower only, and also one family bedroom with a double bed and two singles, and which is fully en-suite with a bath and a toilet. All of the rooms are clean and comfortable, and have recently been redecorated and equipped with modern furnishings. Guests will find excellent facilities including colour television, tea and coffee making facilities, and full central heating.
There is a surcharge of £5.00 for single occupancy.
Laundry facilities can be provided at a small charge for walkers of the Two Moors Way if required. The hours listed on the site are seasonal spring/summer hours. Until Easter we open from 12- 11 Tues - Sat, and the restaurant is closed on Thursdays. Meals will still be provided on Thursdays until Easter for all bed and breakfast residents.

Electronic Control Units
The Brains Behind the Vehicle
https://www.gettyimages.com/license/113480627
by Vincent Ciulla
Vincent Ciulla is a certified master automotive technician who has diagnosed and repaired light trucks, domestic and foreign cars, and diesel engines, for more than three decades.
Once upon a time, automobiles were simple mechanical constructs. Then computers started taking over. Now, there's a different electronic control unit (ECU) for just about every function in your vehicle.
The Brains Behind the Brawn
There are a lot of things going on in your engine and around your car as you drive. ECUs are designed to receive this information, via a number of censors, process that information, and then perform an electrical function. Think of them as the brains of your vehicle. As automobiles, trucks, and SUVs become more complex and outfitted with more sensors and functions, the number of ECUs designed to deal with those complexities increase.
Some common ECUs include the Engine Control Module (ECM), Powertrain Control Module (PCM), Brake Control Module (BCM), and General Electric Module (GEM). They control all functions associated with those components of the car, and they look and act a lot like a computer hard drive, often consisting of an 8-bit microprocessor, random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), and an input/output interface.
ECUs may be upgraded by the manufacturer or by a third party. They are usually protected to prevent unwanted tampering, so if you have a mind to try and turn anything off or to change a function, you won't be able to do it.
Multi-function ECU
Fuel management is the main function of the Engine Control Module (ECM). It does this by controlling the vehicle's fuel injection system, the ignition timing, and the idle speed control system. It also interrupts the operation of the air conditioning and EGR systems, and controls power to the fuel pump (through the control relay).
Based on information received from the input sensors on things like engine coolant temperature, barometric pressure, airflow, and outside temperature, the ECU determines the optimum settings for the output actuators for fuel injection, idle speed, ignition timing, etc. The computer determines how long the injectors stay open—anywhere from four to nine milliseconds, done 600 to 3000 times per minute—which controls the amount of fuel used. The computer also controls how much voltage is sent to the fuel pump, raising and lowering fuel pressure. Finally, this particular ECU controls engine timing, which is when the spark plugs fire.
There is also an ECU that controls the airbag system, one of the most important safety features on your vehicle. Once it receives signals from the crash sensors, it processes this data to decide which, if any, airbags should be triggered. In advanced airbag systems, there may be sensors that detect the weight of the occupants, where they are seated, and whether they are using a seatbelt. All of these factors help the ECU decide whether to deploy the frontal airbags. The ECU also performs regular diagnostic checks and lights a warning light if anything is amiss.
This particular ECU is usually positioned in the middle of the vehicle, or under the front seat. This position protects it, especially during a crash, when it is most needed.

…I want you to think about this for a moment.
Let's assume he lives in a 2 bedroom apartment and drives some old pick up van. Do you think he would have met Beyoncé? With all her fame and glory?
Alright, let's assume that by some stroke of luck he does meet her….do you think Beyoncé would have dated him or agreed to marry him?
…people are never friends with people below their level.
It sounds really harsh. But that is the bloody truth.
Even if the high-in-level person smiles at someone below him, it's never as an equal…no matter how humble he is.
Look at the way a doctor responds to the greetings of a cleaner in his hospital. Even if they are cordial with themselves, there is always that deference from the cleaner and that superior air about the doctor.
It's not something people do consciously. It just happens. It's like the way you respond to greetings from someone ten years younger than you vs the way you respond to the greeting of someone 10 years older.
And we curse these men sef, and call them stingy.
Nah, they are not stingy…they just don't respect you.
I know you think you are smart, you have this big dreams and you believe you are special and that you will be great in life….
I feel you, and I have been there before. But here is the hard reality.
Well, this "great" people you will run to for help don't believe in you yet. They just don't give a dime about you. They don't care about your dreams, they don't believe in them…heck, they don't even have the time to listen to you talk about the dreams in the first place.
They are not wicked. It's how life is, amigo.
The only way you can get these people to listen to you is when you have something going on for you. To get their attention you have to show that you are making something happen, in your own little way.
You think Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg would have got investors for his company if he hadn't started Facebook and run it till it caught "fire"?
Some years back I got invited to a no-fee-asked, exclusive seminar of just 10 or 15 persons with one of my biggest role models – The CEO of Nairabet.com, Akin Alabi. And it was because I already had an online business which was making profits. If I didn't, he wouldn't have looked my direction.
Fastword to this year and I have worked with and personally handled the marketing of some of the biggest names in the internet marketing community right here in Nigeria, people who a few years ago I watched from afar.
Before you go asking people for start up capital to start a fish business first buy a fridge…when people see you have something happening already, that's only when they will hop in and be part of your dream….
…don't wait for that uncle, start small. Do something. Start from somewhere. Keep pushing and with time you will be able to walk into the room full with your former role-modes, but this time, they would be your rivals and they would treat you as an equal.
Only then will they take you seriously. Only then….
It even boils down to getting a mate of your dreams….if a guy in an Range Rover sport and a guy trekking says hi to a very pretty girl at the same time, the girl go first answer the dude wey dey Range Rover Sport.
Good luck in your hustle.
Keep pushing, keep working. One day when you clap, they will hear the sound.
Uncle Toyin…I am so blessed with this write. Its inspirational, eye-opening and directional. You are so gifted and I think Nigeria is blessed to have the likes if you and Akin. Am working on a tech startup and am gonna do some nice biz with you soon.
Nice piece… Funny at the end though inspiring. Keep up the good work bro.
Keep on the good work. With this alone, it's a pointer to more greatness.
Thank you sir. I read your book "where the money is today", to tall you the truth sir it's instructive and eye opening. I want to make a move sir.
My name is Joy Agnes!

Know your noodles! I love noodles (and pasta!), but with a family history of type 2 diabetes I have them as an occasional treat. So imagine how happy I was to discover the plethora of veggie and pulse-based noodles and pastas available from retailers these days. Woo hoo!
My favourites are pea, edamame bean, lentil noodles and chick pea pasta. (I have yet to try black bean pasta!). What a great way to eat more veg and pulses! I think they are an ingenious way to encourage veggie-phobes and children to eat more veg! As they are not usually made with any grains, they are gluten-free, but note, some brands add in some wheat flour too.
So having found such an amazing range of products, I just had to create a recipe with one. Pea noodle, tofu and yellow bean stir-fry. A quick, healthy, nutrient packed recipe with loads of flavour, nutrition and so fresh and delicious.
I have also used yellow bean, a fermented soya based product full of good bacteria to look after your gut. It also adds a deep umami flavour to dishes, a little like miso paste and soya sauce. In addition, I have exploited the absorbent quality of chia seeds to help thicken the yellow bean sauce without the need for the more conventionally used cornflour or arrowroot, adding some extra fibre, protein and omega-3s. Alternatively, you could also use a little protein powder instead.
What I love about this dish is that it is also not greasy; far too often, noodles in restaurants are far too greasy for my liking. All you need is a smidgeon of coconut oil and a good quality non-stick pan! While I have specified veggies in this recipe, you could use whatever veg you have in the fridge drawer, making this an economical dish using up random bits of bits and bobs!
In a small bowl, add the yellow bean paste, water and chia seeds or protein powder if using. Mix to form a paste and set aside.
In a large non-stick deep-bottomed pan or wok, melt a little coconut oil. Add the sliced garlic and sliced onion and cook on a medium heat for about 3 mins until the onion looks translucent.
Add the shredded sprouts and sliced carrot. Cook for another 2 mins before adding the tofu pieces, noodles, sliced pepper and shitake mushrooms. Cook for 3 mins more before adding the yellow bean sauce.
Add the noodles and mange tout/ sugar snap peas and rice wine vinegar, if using and soya sauce or equivalent. Cook for a further 4 mins until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve with fresh coriander.


A state Task Force is considering shutting down one of the four Mental Health Institutes. They will be at the Cherokee MHI on Tuesday Sept. 15 to review reports , tour the facility and meet with community members as well as MHI staff and administration. The Chronicle Times' Mike Leckband, who had never been at the MHI before, took part in a tour of the 107-year-old Cherokee facility on September 11, 2009, and several of the photos he took are included in this gallery.
The tour started with the MHI 's well-equipped laundry room, which handles the washing and drying of patients' clothing.
The shipping and receiving room is located in the MHI tunnel and trucks delivering goods unload their goods at the outside door.
MHI Business Manager Tony Morris (center) shows visitors the MHI wood shop, where repairs are done on a daily basis, to keep the facility up and running.
The tour then went to the MHI Metal Shop, where most all parts that are needed at the facility are produced in-house.
The massive steam and diesel generators were the next stop on the tour.
The steam boilers, which heat the 107-year-old Cherokee MHI, are located in the Boiler Room in the basement tunnel.
The MHI has four boilers. Two of the boilers are modern, but the older ones still function using the same pressure control dials (shown in this photo) that have been in use for the past 80 years.
It takes a large kitchen (shown here) to handle the nutrition needs of the MHI patients as well as the CCUSO residents.
A tunnel system allows workers to move among the buildings on the MHI grounds , which is especially handy during the winter season.
After a tour around part of the outside ground, the tour group went to the second floor of the Main Building, where the business offices, including that of Business Manager Tony Morris (shown here) are located. A second tour group toured clinical areas of the MHI.

/**
 * <id>Interpreter</id> is Joran's main driving class. It extends SAX
 * {@link org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler DefaultHandler} which invokes
 * various {@link Action actions} according to predefined patterns.
 *
 *
Patterns are kept in a {@link RuleStore} which is programmed to store and
 * then later produce the applicable actions for a given pattern.
 *
 *
The pattern corresponding to a top level <a> element is the string
 * <id>"a"</id>.
 *
 *
The pattern corresponding to an element <b> embeded within a top level
 * <a> element is the string <id>"a/b"</id>.
 *
 *
The pattern corresponding to an <b> and any level of nesting is
 * "*/b. Thus, the * character placed at the beginning of a pattern
 * serves as a wildcard for the level of nesting.
 *
 * Conceptually, this is very similar to the API of commons-digester. Joran
 * offers several small advantages. First and foremost, it offers support for
 * implicit actions which result in a significant leap in flexibility. Second,
 * in our opinion better error reporting capability. Third, it is self-reliant.
 * It does not depend on other APIs, in particular commons-logging which is
 * a big no-no for log4j. Last but not least, joran is quite tiny and is
 * expected to remain so.

Welcome, welcome! Come in, come in I say! Today it is time for another people's review this time it is the turn of the Asrock Fatal1ty X470 K4. Some of you might remember the X370 K4 review and how impressed I ended up being with that board today it is the turn of the successor to the X370 K4, the X470 K4. The bar has been set by its predecessor and so the X470 K4 has a lot to live up to will it manage to impress as its predecessor once did or leave us disillusioned and disappointed? Let us dive right in to this review leaving no stone unturned to find out if the X470 K4 is a truly worthy successor.
Starting with the packaging it's the same tried and true methods from Asrock lots of padding with a robust box. As usual Asrock prefer to focus mostly on specs rather than too much marketing bluster which is always good to see a potential buyer cannot make an informed decision without proper technical details.
Taking a look at the accessories there's nothing beyond the essentials. It would have been nice if something had been done to make the accessories stand out just a little bit, a couple more SATA cables, an LED strip, or even just changing the SATA cables from the now far too heavily overused black to some nice silver ones. It is worth noting for the novices that the software setup manual is quite thorough with the coverage it offers of the UEFI options you will find there are however many more options to find in the firmware than what the setup manual details and the options detailed for the most part offers explanations that are extraordinarily vague. I'd certainly like to see manufacturers vastly improve this aspect of manuals.
Our first look at the Fatal1ty K4 reveals just how good looking the board is, this has to be the best looking X470 board out there to date with gun metal VRM and chipset heatsinks, controllable IO and audio LED shrouds as well as controllable LEDs around the chipset heatsink and dedicated headers for you to plug in and use your own LED strips. It's no secret I'm not a fan of plastic shrouds and believe if a board has shrouds they should be metal so they can double as EMI shielding but the shrouds on the K4 are at least made from good quality plastic and as such does not spoil the overall feel of quality the board has when held. The shroud also doesn?�t foul the VRM heatsink so airflow over the VRM heatsinks won't be impeded the design is skirting the line, but earns a pass.
Scooting round to the rear of the board to take a look at the IO ports we see a well laid out configuration consisting of an HDMI port if you intend to use an APU, 8x USB ports consisting of 3.1 Gen1 and 2 standards, no USB 2.0 ports but let's be honest it's about time USB 2.0 ports went the way of the dodo, dual purpose PS/2 port, LAN port and the obligatory audio jacks with gold plated sockets and digital SPDIF. You'll also note a rather large blank area which would otherwise be occupied with wifi connectors. A hint of a possible future "X" model, perhaps?
Looking at the X470 K4 stripped down gives a better idea of the overall build quality and all of the on-board components, no board warping (I'm looking at you Mr. X370-F), intel l211-AT LAN, Realtek ALC1220, 12 phase power delivery, 6x SATA ports, 2x M.2 Slots, USB headers, and debug LED to name just the most prominent features.
Worthy of note is that there is only a single ROM chip, no backup, and there is no mention of any software flashback safeguard either such as a dedicated USB port you can plug a flash drive in to and have the system automatically re-flash the firmware in the event of a bad update. Nobody likes having to dismantle their system for RMA should a failed update occur when such situations can be easily avoided in these technological times some kind of flashback safeguard is something all boards should come with these days for convenience not to mention the hassle and downtime saved that a backup ROM chip or a firmware flashback feature via the use of a dedicated USB port provides.
The fan header placement while generally good could do with some tweaking as people with 240mm AIOs that use 4 fans on the radiator are going to have to resort to using splitters and doing some cable routing which is certainly going to be inconvenient at least for those people, adding additional build time.
A close up of the CPU socket area reveals that Asrock have managed to keep it nice and clutter free to allow for installation of even the largest heatsinks. Also of note are the 12k Nichicon solid state capacitors they are some top, top draw capacitors right there.
An inspection of the MOSFETs reveals the quite good Sinopower SM4337s are once again in use, the same as the original X370 Fatal1ty K4 utilised. These ICs are rated for up to 55 amps with an operating junction temperature of -55c to +150c. Further inspection also reveals the X470 K4 using Sinopower SM4337s on the DRAM side as well. The chokes are rated for 45 amps and said to be premium quality but without any specific markings that is all I can tell you about them. Overall these are some pretty good components here, nothing to particularly pick out as being a weak link.
Having a further inspection we find a Renesas Intersil 95712HRZ multiphase PWM regulator capable of a maximum of 2 outputs and 4 phases, supporting enhanced load line accuracy, programmable VID offset on both outputs with a maximum output voltage of 1.55 and a slew of other features, primarily the regulator is designed for AMD Fusion SVI 2.0, decent, but it is no Infineon 35201 regulator. By comparison the 35201 used on the X370 K4 is capable of a maximum 2 outputs and 8 phases with a maximum output voltage (I believe) of 1.75 while supporting more or less the same features as the Renesas regulator. I don't know the reason for why the regulator has been changed but it is surprising to see such a change the star highlight of the X370 K4 was the superb voltage stability and control given over those voltages. The engineer in me says this is that weak link we were hoping to not find but let's be a little more optimistic and say hopefully this change of power regulator is not one that is going to cause any detrimental impact.
Now we're done with the hardware overview and before we dig in further let's have a look at what is on offer in the firmware. All images have been taken from firmware 1.4, an early revision but it is early days for the X470 after all. Things should still at least be fairly good however as AMD and motherboard manufactures have had the X370 boards to work most of the kinks out. It should be noted that due to some issues I ran in to while writing this review I would strongly recommend people keep their eyes peeled for new firmware updates with PinnaclePI AGESA 1.0.0.4 (its not the 1.0.0.4 you might be thinking of, it's new) or later and be sure to download and update your firmware when these updates become available.
This is the default landing page when you enter the UEFI giving you essential system specs and firmware revision information the most obvious thing to stand out is that the UI isn't the most modern design but it is very slick and responsive I reckon most people would take that over something that looks more modern but lags at every interaction you try to make with it.
This is a bit more interesting, the OC Tweaker menu. You can see that it?�s quite well fleshed out with almost every option you would want but notably absent are CPU and SoC LLC options, which the X370 K4 had I'll remind you, which will also certainly raise eyebrows among overclockers considering the price point the X470 K4 is at. The Renesas voltage regulator this board has with my current understanding is that typically it is not recommended to implement it without LLC so the absence of LLC is very surprising overclockers of any experience level will not be impressed by this omission and more experienced overclockers even less so.
Taking a look at the available options a little more in detail reveals that the offset voltage option does not have much granularity it could certainly do with more options for finer adjustments.
Moving along to the memory dividers I'm happy to say that the dividers on offer here are pretty comprehensive the board could do with a couple more dividers between 3466MHz and 3600MHz but otherwise there is maximum flexibility here to get the most out of your memory kit.
It is early days for the X470 K4 so hopefully the missing CPU and SoC LLC options along with those couple AWOL memory dividers are simply the bi-product of an early release firmware that is as yet not feature complete.
Let?�s move on and see what memory timing options are on offer to sink our teeth in to.
There is certainly a happy sight to behold when looking at memory timing options just about every option you could wish for is here so tweaking memory is not something that is going to be a problem the X470 K4 should be a fine board for attaining high memory overclocks with.
The Advanced menu has a massive amount of sub-folders with a vast array of options for you to utilise to set the system up just how you want it, top marks for effort here flexibility is imperative and exactly why PC enthusiasts own a PC.
Looking at the AMD CBS menu there is a lot to tinker with here of particular note is the CLDO_VDDP option which is what we can use to help tune memory when pushing for high memory clocks. Navigating away from OC Tweaker to an entirely different menu to adjust CLDO_VDDP is a rather inconvenient way of doing things but again this is an early firmware revision for the X470 K4 still as such one would hope these kinds of niggling things are ironed out in future firmware updates.
Lastly taking a look at the Hardware Monitor tab we find it to be full of useful information and multiple ways to change fan settings. Don't want to leave the fans to their own devices? There's an auto-tune fan feature. Want full control of your fans and their behaviour? Asrock has got you covered here too with both a graph to dial in your settings or if you don't want to fiddle with a graph Asrock have given you the good old fashioned way of directly inputting the numbers and selecting if the fans should behave based on the motherboard or CPU temperature. Top stuff for fan control and the sheer number of ways Asrock give you to control them truly above and beyond the call of duty here. Ahh see what I did there? Duty... fan duty cycle... nevermind.
This is a new section I'm adding to motherboard reviews it's about time on-board audio was given more attention particularly given the popularity of it with gamers who take their gaming seriously but don't want to add a separate soundcard so look for a good integrated audio solution with a strong software suit as well as audiophiles of whom a majority feel you need to spend high hundreds to thousands on a sound system before on-board audio becomes a limiting factor.
The first look at the on-board audio shows a rather good implementation of the ALC1220 utilising Nichicon FG (Fine Gold) audio capacitors which were also used for the X370 K4. There is no EMI shielding for the ALC1220 over the chip itself or on the underside of the plastic shroud cover however, this won't make too much of a difference but it would help at the very least to ensure EM interference is kept to the absolute minimum which would ensure minimal, or completely eradicate, audio pops and cracks caused by EMI or electronic crosstalk.
Examining the audio further reveals the Onsemi NE5532 which is a low noise dual amplifier it should go a fair way to giving audio some extra punch and authority hopefully making it more comparable to a good dedicated soundcard. Paired to this amp is of course the ALC1220 Realtek audio chip, which itself is capable of up to 120db SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) so all in all some fairly good audio hardware on display here.
Taking a look at the included audio software suit it has been updated from the Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 3 to Sound Blaster Cinema 5 (more commonly labelled as Sound Blaster Connect) I cannot specifically find any mention or details about the Cinema 5 software except on the Asrock site and the Microsoft store so information about it is scant at best.
If you choose to use the Sound Blaster software the above images show what you will have access to through it. To say the Creative software suit is very basic would be an unprecedented understatement, I found myself checking several times in varying ways to be sure everything was installed correctly to verify I wasn't missing any features I was extremely surprised and dismayed to discover that the software was installed correctly and the options in the Creative software suit really is everything you get. If I'm honest the Creative suit has left me completely bemused (by which I use the word in the old, intended purpose of it, baffled, bewildered, perplexed) as the standard Realtek driver offers substantially more of which we will look at and see next.
So let's see what installing the generic Realtek driver does bring us.
Disappointed but not deterred by the terrible Creative audio suit I brushed it aside and installed the generic Realtek driver to see what exactly it can offer over the Creative suit. The Realtek control panel is the same UI design we have known for years and the features and flexibility it offers are not anything different to what everyone is accustomed to but compared to the Creative suit the features and flexibility offered by the Realtek CP is a night and day difference audiophiles will be satisfied with it and gamers will find some level of satisfaction from it but if you are a gamer looking for anything like A-Volutes Nahimic Sound Tracker or Sonic Studios Sonic Radar 3 you will not find anything of that nature here. Hopefully at least most of the current lack of features and flexibility with the Creative suit is something that can be addressed in a software update.
For my last examination of the audio I will be running the Metro Last Light Redux benchmark to see how the Realtek ALC1220 can handle many reverb and gunfire sound effects playing at the same time as well as measure any potential audio related performance issues.
Compared to the Xonar DX typically to date the ALC1220 utilised on all boards I have tested has struggled at my Metro LL Redux test while I've been refining test procedures internally always not quite being able to handle all of the effects being played which results in them becoming a bit undefined, muddied, and lacking punch. I can say that with the sterling efforts made by the Asrock engineers with the audio hardware on the K4 that audio that has before lacked punch on the other boards has a satisfying thunder about them, the throbbing undertone heartbeat you can feel while the overtone ringing anxiety pierces and gunshots also sound satisfying with a good degree of authority about their sounds. Explosions do however still lack a little reverb and sounds in general don't quite have the same clarity of which the Xonar can deliver but my gosh is the ALC1220 implementation on this K4 close to what the Xonar delivers especially if you tweak the equalizer a bit the Asrock engineers deserve a well earned pat on the back for this implementation they have done a pretty stellar job doing the ALC1220 justice.
The only negative with the ALC1220 is that occasionally it was prone to a few audio cracks and pops ??something you can possibly remedy by putting a small low profile heatsink over the ALC1220 chip itself to give it that additional EMI protection. As for any potential audio related performance benefits or drawbacks there really is none to speak of the test ran smoothly in both test cases with no notable performance differences outside of scene change variation.
Moving away from looking at the audio software let's see what the rest of the included software can offer.
This is Polychrome, used to control the built-in LED lights for the IO cover, chipset heatsink and audio cover. In addition to controlling the LED colours, which are all definable independently I might add, you can also specify time intervals, numerous different styles, or simply just turn the LEDs off. Polychrome is also used if you want to control any LED strips you have installed, the software as a whole functions well being intelligently designed and well thought out without any unnecessary pomp and is responsive to use it is most refreshing to use software that simply looks nice and does the job it is intended for without being bloated, superb.
Now we come to F-Stream, Asrock's answer to software overclocking from Windows. Just like Polychrome F-Stream is very comprehensive allowing you to tune fan settings, options to run in performance or power saving modes, monitor various system health statuses and allow you to tweak the CPU frequency. The F-Stream software also lets you change various voltages including DRAM voltage but there are no options to change DRAM frequency or timings with F-Stream aside from this F-Stream is a quite well rounded piece of software with all of the options it offers easily accessible and logically categorised. Despite the quite thorough nature of F-Stream however it does still fall quite a way behind the likes of the Asus AI suit and the MSI Command Centre which simply offer a far more comprehensive package. Perhaps, and hopefully, much like with the boards current firmware these are just signs that the software is not yet feature complete.
That just about wraps us up for the Windows software hopefully we'll see an updated version of F-Stream bringing it more on the level with AI suit and Command Centre as the software was otherwise pleasant and straightforward to use it just needs to evolve to the level, or something close to it, of the aforementioned software.
Onward, tally-ho! Pip! Pip! and all that.
In an effort to try and make the heatsink pictures more aesthetically pleasing to view I've chosen to use an image of them all back on the board. If you'd prefer I stick with the pictures of them completely dismounted then be sure to leave a comment.
Having a look at the heatsinks there's a fair bit to talk about. Some of you may recall my concern for the VRM heatsinks on the X370 K4, they have gone on some steroids since then and beefed up a bit this hopefully will stand them in good stead in the tests ahead. You might also recall from the X370 K4 review I said the chipset heatsink could do with being a bit smaller to help the LEDs stand out, well, the chipset heatsink on the X470 K4 is indeed smaller and the LED lights benefit substantially for it. Thermal performance from the chipset heatsink isn?�t affected by this change it is still more than large enough to deal with the generated heat from the chipset.
Also now included is an M.2 heatsink for the top M.2 slot which is great to see. The mounting for the VRM heatsinks from Asrock as ever is superb and the mounting for the chipset is quite acceptable. You won't be able to replace the thermal pad with paste but it is a thin thermal pad used certainly capable of dealing with the thermal load from the chipset there's no abomination going on here like there was for the X370-F chipset heatsink. All of the heatsinks are also well finished, no machine milling marks to speak of on the base of them.
As ever for testing I will be using a DT8380 infrared temperature gun, accurate to +/- 2% and to ensure tests are as consistent as possible across reviews stock thermal pads are replaced with LAIRD 6w/mk pads. We want to test heatsink solutions and their efficiency here, not which manufacturer has the better stock thermal pads.
For those that don't know the most efficient type of heatsink is always one that uses high grade thermal interface material, the thinner the better, good contact between heatsink and IC (a good, solid imprint of the heatsinked ICs is a sure indication of optimal contact), solid way of mounting the heatsinks, and the heatsinks themselves will have a lot of fins to maximise cooling capacity to take advantage of any natural airflow with the base of the heatsink being free of any milling marks that would hinder thermal efficiency.
In a slight change to these tests I'll be foregoing the 1.28v measurements instead testing the maximum stock boost frequency of 3.7GHz with 1.37v (firmware set) then measuring temperatures at idle and load as you really can't learn much about VRM cooling capacity below this threshold. Temperature measurements as with all other test results will be taken from the hottest part of the heatsinks.
Measuring load temperatures for the VRM heatsinks reveal them to be pretty average compared to other results with the thermal load being distributed quite evenly despite there being no heatpipe to help transfer any thermal load. Overall the results from the X470 K4 are average for the thermal tests, fairly comfortably ahead of the GT7 and X370-F, but a distant second when looked at next to the MSI X370 Titanium, that board has a VRM heatsink truly in a league of its own. It is disappointing to see however that despite the heatsinks on the X470 K4 being a little bulkier than on its predecessor that this has not helped in reducing VRM temperatures at least a little the VRMs are one of the hottest areas in a modern PC thus keeping the area as cool as possible should be of paramount importance to ensure reliable operation and longevity of component lifespan.
Alright now we come to what a lot of you have been waiting for I'd wager, to find out just how well the X470 K4 performs. I've elected to now combine storage performance tests in with the benchmarks, their all performance related so I see little point in two separate categories for them.
Starting with CrystalDiskMark to measure SSD performance what immediately smacked me in the face like a freight train is how fast 4KiB Q32T1 results are for the SL301 these numbers absolutely blew all other results from X370 boards out of the water they are by far (to the tune of 70MB/s or so) the highest numbers I have seen from this drive when compared to all the X370 boards tested, absolutely phenomenal.
Moving to AIDA64 the first battery of bandwidth tests show some very healthy numbers and when compared to X370 some latency improvements outside of the usual margin of error I allow, it's not huge, but 3-4ns improvements can be considered a nice little bonus if you have a first generation Zen CPU you want to drop in to an X470 board. You'll also notice that at 2400MHz this X470 board is also able to fully run the XMP timings by even applying CL15 something which the X370 boards just could not do. Unfortunately this only lasts briefly as the board automatically reverted to CL16 (even when manually setting CL15) once memory frequencies reached and exceeded 2666MHz.
Stepping up to higher frequencies continues to show the same trend as at the lower frequencies bandwidth is good while latencies continue to show their small but always welcome improvements compared to X370.
Now it's time to get in to a bit of gaming benchmarking.
In order to represent what seems to be the most common system configuration all gaming benchmarks are run with the CPU set to the most common boost frequency of 3.2GHz while system memory is running at 2933MHz with 16-15-15-35 timings.
The X470 K4 returns one of the highest Fire Strike results I've seen here being close to the very best performer the X370-F, which returned a score of 13,230.
Adding to the usual Fire Strike test we now move to Far Cry Primal, the game utilises the Dunia 2 engine so is quite system dependent. The engine itself isn't hugely multithreaded in comparison to more modern engines and is essentially a modified version of CryEngine but it will serve the purpose it is required for here today.
Results have been taken with the Ultra preset using the HD texture pack.
As far as performance goes for FC Primal limited multithreading capabilities of the engine considered these results look pretty good. I do wish Ubisoft would make the Dunia engine more multithreaded though, but I digress.
For the final test I've decided to use the Final Fantasy XV benchmark.
A score of 6015 isn't too bad at all these settings represent a 250 - 300 point increase over the default "High" settings without any perceptible image quality loss which will certainly mean the difference between under and maintaining a solid 60FPS more often than not for a lot of people with middling tier GPUs.
Overclocking has been a bit of a mixed bag so let's begin with the easy to summarise memory overclocking. With stock XMP timings and voltage 3466MHz was quite easy to achieve a few sub-timings needed adjusting but overall for a quick and dirty memory OC the obtained result here is very good and as a whole memory overclocking on the X470 K4 has been the second easiest experience I've had, only bested by the X370-F where no change except for memory divider was required to be up and running at 3466MHz.
Moving on to the final overclock results, let's get in to some details. Make no bones about it, without CPU LLC options the X470 K4 at this time is not as good of a CPU overclocker as the X370 K4 ended up being with a 60MHz to 80MHz maximum OC deficit. The below chart shows the absolute best CPU frequency I could attain with complete stability, unfortunately for the X470 K4 with this particular R7 1700 it also missed the typical voltage of 1.35 for 3.9GHz instead having to settle for 3.84GHz at 1.4v which due to vdroop ended up being around 1.33v under load. That is a hell of a lot of vdroop to compensate for which also has the unwanted side effect of quite substantially higher CPU temperatures, not a good showing from the X470 K4 here, then.
Let's see how things stack up in an updated CPU overclocking comparison chart.
Time constraints due to some boards being considerably less cooperative to work with than others when overclocking memory prevented me from spending as much time with them as I would have liked but the above table should give a good idea of what each board is capable of. All boards except for the X470 K4 had CPU LLC options so were able to maintain higher CPU clocks at a lower and more stable voltage than the X470 K4 could muster. A minor saving grace however is that vdroop is predictable while vcore stability remained fairly good it?�s just the vdroop causing (quite a few) headaches here.
Let's move on and see what we get from the gaming benchmarks with the overclocks.
For the final look at the X470 K4 the tried and true Fire Strike is run once more returning the second highest (albeit by the width of a hair) result almost dethroning the X370-F and the current high score of 13,900.
Another result showing a quite pleasing improvement, minimum FPS particularly gains a healthy uplift showing there is still a point and purpose in a complete system overclock.
Unsurprisingly being the least system dependent test FFXV only shows a small increase in the score but any improvement is always a welcome one and shows that even in game titles that are not system dependent that every overclock really does count.
So here we are, at the end of what is easily the most detailed review I've written yet. No doubt curiosity has got the better of you and you're curious to know my final thoughts on the X470 K4 given the Jekyll and Hide nature the board exhibited at times so let's get right down to it and dissect things one by one.
Visually the board is very appealing with controllable LEDs for the IO covers and heatsink which undoubtedly easily makes the board one of the best looking you can buy. The board is also well made with good quality components such as the Nichicon 12k and Fine Gold capacitors being right out of the top drawer. The Renesas Intersil 95712 has to be the blemish here though it is an average voltage regulator made to look far worse than it actually is by the current lack of CPU Load Line Calibration options.
Firmware for the K4 is fairly good there are a few things that need addressing Asrock have been made aware of otherwise for an early revision firmware it's quite solid and with the exception of one or two options feature packed. The two biggest drawbacks with the current firmware are easily the lack of any CPU Load Line Calibration and no firmware flashback safeguard the lack of these two things do create problematic circumstances, the former brings back an old nemesis overclockers thought they were long rid of; vdroop, while the latter provides no safety net at all during a firmware update process. At the level this board appears to be aimed at and price point the average overclocker or enthusiast does have moderately high expectations and lacking both of these options will be off-putting, at the very least CPU LLC is expected at this level. Hopefully this is just a symptom of firmware that is simply in its infancy and Asrock will address these shortcomings to meet the expectations of the people this X470 K4 board is vying to get the attentions of.
As far as overclocking is concerned the X470 K4 is competent but simultaneously lacking turning in decent results however having to use the highest CPU vcore setting that has ever been needed in order to attain 3.85GHz due to vdroop is not desirable by any stretch. Memory overclocking did fair better though with a fairly good return of 3466MHz coming by doing nothing more than changing divider and tweaking a couple sub-timings. Not bad for a test kit that isn?�t on the QVL list however I would like to see memory compatibility improved with additional higher speed (3200MHz+) kits being tested and optimised for there?�s a lot of popular kits missing from the QVL list at that speed.
Polychrome RGB is superb and there is the good but feature lacking F-Stream. F-Stream is not a bad piece of software but lacking any ability to change memory timings or frequency severely limits the usefulness of it while also only serving to highlight the catching up it has to do to be on the same level as AI Suit or Command Centre. Where the included software really collapses in on itself however is with the absolutely awful Creative audio suit if you are anyone that takes your audio with even a modicum of seriousness as a gamer you will not find any equivalent to the likes of Sonic Studios Sonic Radar 3 or A-Volutes Sound Tracker on offer here as an audiophile missing even a standard equaliser shows just how little the audio suit offered here from Creative is doing to satiate users requirements. I sincerely hope these are just more cases of software simply awaiting updates as otherwise with alternative superior (and probably cheaper) options available like Sonic Studio and A-Volute the question really is open; why continue to use Creative? Particularly as you can revert to the standard Realtek software and be given more with that generic software package. Without these updates as one of my favourite movie quotes of all time would say, and I'm paraphrasing here a bit of course; Game over Creative, game over!
Comparatively speaking the X470 K4 has the potential to stand well next to the X370 K4 this board replaces improving in small ways with some good points like the hardware used for the audio and overall looks. The issue, right now at least, is that the X470 K4 does not have a real stand out shining feature something the X370 K4 did, namely the superb voltage stability it had.
Asrock haven't quite knocked it out of the park at the moment with the Fatal1ty K4 and with the likes of the X470 Prime Pro and X470 Gaming Pro Carbon circling in the same waters offering much better audio suits, tweaking software and CPU LLC already in the firmware all for similar pricing there is catching up to do for the X470 K4. With a few moderate improvements though the X470 K4 can be something rather special and appealing to many people.
It is worth noting that through the trials and tribulations of this review that Asrock have been nothing but superstars in cooperation and collaboration to get any encountered issues ironed out for the benefit of everyone which should not come as much of a surprise really, they care about what they do and take pride in it. Fortunately Asrock are in the habit of where their hardware does improve with software and firmware updates getting better with time like a fine wine so I have hope that the K4 will become the board it is meant to be.
I do have some nice pretty awards for hardware that does well now however I'm not like other reviewers I don't have multiple different awards to give out for niche things mine are old fashioned and based on impartial objectivity. A 70-79% rating will earn a Bronze, 80-89% Silver, 90-99% Gold, and for those all too rare jewels 100% is a Platinum, firm but fair.
With that said, to scoring!

ABC's Karl Fluffs Leftist Rep-Elect, Touts Him Heckling DeSantis
On the first show of the new year, ABC's This Week co-anchor John Karl granted a friendly softball interview with zero challenging questions to the newly elected radical leftist Congressman-elect Maxwell Frost (FL-10). One of the more outrageous moments came when Karl touted Frost accosting Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis at an event that Frost admitted was private.
"So I saw one of your campaign ads features this interaction you had with DeSantis," Karl said with an amused smirk on his face.
After airing the campaign commercial, Frost whined "Governor DeSantis never comes to Orlando" and when he does "it's to do a press conference where he's spewing bigotry and hate. Or to make money for his friends which is exactly what he was doing there," Frost cried.
Frost claimed he "didn't stand up and yell and curse" at DeSantis. "I just stood up and said, Governor, what's your plan to end gun violence? We're dying."
"So we came to him more with a plea and what I got in return, was nobody wants to hear from you. Getting dragged out by security. Having popcorn thrown at me and people yelling curse words and racial slurs," Frost added to make himself seem like a victim despite willingly going to a private event where he wasn't welcome in order to further his radical gun-grabbing agenda.
Instead of challenging Frost and scolding him for his divisive and uncivilized behavior like he would if a Republican candidate for Congress behaved in this manner, Karl seemed to approve:
KARL: And what was the reception that you got for that ad? I mean, the moment went viral.
FROST: Yeah, yeah.
KARL: Getting shouted down by the Republican governor as a young candidate–
FROST: Yeah.
KARL: As a Democrat, must actually not been a bad thing.
FROST: Yeah well we decided to flip it on its head. And use it and we put it on broadcast in the district, we got nothing but people giving us calls and sending messages saying I saw your ad, I haven't seen an ad like that ever or in a long time.
Karl ended the love fest by asking Frost about him playing the drums. "I noticed you playing drums…are we going to see more of that? You're a jazz drummer," Karl swooned.
This softball interview granted to a radical leftist Congressman-elect on ABC's This Week was made possible by CarFax. Their information is linked.

ABC's This Week
JON KARL: So I saw one of your campaign ads features this interaction you had with DeSantis.
[cuts to campaign ad]
MAXWELL FROST: Two months I confronted Governor DeSantis on ending gun violence. And what did he say?
GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS: Nobody wants to hear from you.
[cuts back to live]
KARL: What was going on there?
FROST: Yeah so look, Governor DeSantis never comes to Orlando. When he does it's to do a press conference where he's spewing bigotry and hate. Or to make money for his friends which is exactly what he was doing there. He was a special guest at a private thing for a podcaster and so we in the spirit of direct action and protest we decided to show up. And look I didn't stand up and yell and curse at him or anything. I just stood up and said, Governor, what's your plan to end gun violence? We're dying.
And this was about a week and a half after the Uvalde shooting. He hadn't said a single word about ending gun violence. So we came to him more with a plea and what I got in return, was nobody wants to hear from you. Getting dragged out by security. Having popcorn thrown at me and people yelling curse words and racial slurs.
KARL: But you were also, you were sent to campaign in Georgia, You hadn't even been sworn in yet as a member of Congress. But you were campaigning for Raphael Warnock. And I noticed you playing drums—
FROST: Oh yeah.
KARL: At a students for Warnock.
FROST: That was at an indoor skate park. That's one of the coolest campaign events I've ever been to.
KARL: So are we going to see more of that? You're a jazz drummer.
FROST: Yeah, I play jazz, hip-hop, different styles, yeah, of course. I mean something I want to work on, some more extracurriculars, bringing the arts more on the hill, having concerts on the hill. Stuff like that I think it's important. The arts, it's really important to me. It's at the level of politics for me.

Ever looking for something to do during Christmas break? Well, here are some events going on in New Orleans to get you out of the house during Christmas.
One thing to do is Nola ChristmasFest. This year it opens on December 21 and it will end on December 31. When you purchase tickets to ChristmasFest there are many things you can do, including Ice Skating, Ice Slides, Carnival Rides, Inflatables, life-size mazes, and much more. This event has many things to do and the tickets only cost twenty dollars.
Would you like to spend time with your family, while singing Christmas carols? Then head on down to Jackson Square for the annual "Caroling in Jackson Square" that is put on every year. This year it is happening on Friday, December 17. The gates open at 6:30 and the caroling starts at 7.
Another special event that happens every year is Celebration in the Oaks. During Celebration in the Oaks, you can take a walk through City Park to see all of the big Christmas lights and decorations put out for the holidays. This event was opened on November 24, but it closes on January 1. Don't forget to check out the Mount Carmel Christmas tree decorated by NAHS!
The bonfires are also a family-fun event that takes place every year on Christmas Eve. These are huge pieces of wood built almost like a teepee that are lit on fire. The idea of the bonfires is to light the way for Papa Noel. Most bonfires are lit at sundown in St. James Parish.
These events will really help me fight my boredom during Christmas Break!

Nashville's Major League Soccer team doesn't have an official name and won't begin play until 2020, but it signed its first player Tuesday morning — forward Daniel Rios.
Rios, 23, is coming off an impressive 2018 season in which he scored 20 goals in 31 appearances for United Soccer League Championship side North Carolina FC while on loan from Club Deportivo Guadalajara – known also as Chivas – of Mexico's Liga MX.
A Mexican native, Rios has gone on four separate loan stints since signing with Chivas in 2015, including twice to Coras (2016-17) and once to Zacatepec (2017) in the second and third tiers, respectively, of Mexican soccer leagues.
Rios has also represented Mexico at the U-18, U-20, and U-21 levels.
Rios, whose rights will go to Nashville at the start of 2019, will spend all of next year on loan with the USL Championship's Nashville SC.

Q: How to check word is exist in current directory I have two files each containing:
file.txt
hello, good morning

file1.txt
hello, goodnight

file.txt,file1.txt,app.sh is in the same directory
So I tried to find the word "hello" but it didn't come up
$ sh app.sh
Hey there, what are you looking for?(file/text) text
Enter word hello
Word 'hello' does not exist

my output:Word 'hello' does not exist
my app.sh:
echo -e "Hey there, what are you looking for?(file/text) \c"
read str
if [ $str = "file" ]
then
    echo -e  "Enter file name \c"
    read file
    if [ -f $file ]
    then
        echo
        echo "File '$file' is exist in"
        realpath $file
        echo
        echo "Content $file":
        cat $file
    else
        echo "File '$file' is does not exist"
    fi
elif [ $str = "text" ]
then
    echo -e "Enter word \c"
    read word
    if  [ -w $word ]
    then
        echo
        echo "word '$word' you are looking for is in the file":
        grep -iRl "$word"
    else
        echo "Word '$word' does not exist"
    fi
else
    echo "You entered the wrong command"
fi
}

I just learned shell scripting for 1 week, I don't know where it went wrong. Hope you can solve this problem

A: It appears you used in the input text and hello.  The if  [ -w $word ] then checks if the file hello exist with write permission.  That is probably not what you were trying to do.  Did yo mean non-zero length string perhaps (-n)?  Also your grep statement needs requires a FILE (perhaps your two files files, or a wildcard like *.txt).

A: In
if  [ -w $word ]

-w option expects a FILE name. So if a FILE exists and the write permission is granted, then only if statement will be true. Since you don't have a file called hello, it is going to else block. For more info on if options you may look at this.
You can try getting results from grep and check if it is empty or not as below:
echo -e "Hey there, what are you looking for?(file/text) \c"
read str
if [ $str = "file" ]
then
    echo -e  "Enter file name \c"
    read file
    if [ -f $file ]
    then
        echo
        echo "File '$file' is exist in"
        realpath $file
        echo
        echo "Content $file":
        cat $file
    else
        echo "File '$file' is does not exist"
    fi
elif [ $str = "text" ]
then
    echo -e "Enter word \c"
    read word
    res=$(grep -iRl $word)
    # check if non-empty res
    if [ -n "$res" ]
    then
        echo "word '$word' you are looking for is in the file":
        echo "$res"
    else
        echo "Word '$word' does not exist"
    fi
fi


Here we are at the beginning, in media res.
I picked a record off the shelf—that's all. A completely unscientific way to demonstrate to myself that intuition was worth something. My intuition was that whatever I chose, no matter what it was, would be good enough and would allow for the requisite dipping of the toe into the waters.
The concert was a great success, widely seen (and spun) as part of the inauguration of a new age in which the White House would celebrate and encourage the arts and artists. Among the 153 guests in the East Room were Samuel Barber, Elliott Carter, Aaron Copland, Henry Cowell, Norman Dello Joio, Howard Hanson (my compositional grandfather!), Roy Harris, Alan Hovhaness, Gian Carlo Menotti, Douglas Moore, Walter Piston, William Schuman, Roger Sessions, Virgil Thomson, Eugene Ormandy, Leopold Stokowski. But here's my favorite guest reaction: "Leonard Bernstein, who sat with his head buried in his hands during most of the recital, was nearly overcome. 'I was deeply moved by the entire occasion,' he admitted, 'not merely by the music of Casals but by the company in which it was played.'" (Time, November 24, 1961) The folks at Columbia Records were similarly moved, so much so that "in appreciation of [the] opportunity to present this recording," they donated their portion of proceeds to the Casals Festival in Puerto Rico.
How many questions could possibly emerge from the random selection of a record on a shelf? Here are some of my favorites. . .so far. 1) What was Elliott Carter thinking when he looked at the program? Did he roll his eyes at every perfect authentic cadence? 2) Why Mendelssohn? What did Mendelssohn mean to that octogenarian international superstar of a cellist in 1961? 3) Why is this performance recreated in Jackie, the 2016 film starring Natalie Portman? What are contemporary film audiences supposed to do with chamber music at the White House? 4) How's the Casals Festival doing, particularly in the wake of Hurricane Maria? 5) Paul Henry Lang (musicologist alert!) was at the concert and wrote a review for the Herald Tribune in which he admires the first family for their "proper appreciation of the relation of art to life." Was Lang, scholar of French Baroque music, thinking of the ancien régime when he wrote that, or of Bartók and Kodály, with whom he also studied? 6) U.S. Presidents and Puerto Rico. I'm sure there's a question there, but I'm not sure I want to ask it, at least not in a first blog entry. Maybe it's enough to say that the first democratically elected governor of Puerto Rico, Luis Muñoz Marín, was the guest of honor at this state dinner and concert.
What do we do with these questions? Assemble a portfolio of hastily researched half-answers, labor to develop serious answers before posting an entry, or move on? What's the responsibility of the blogger?
For now we move on and mull over, with the enticing possibility of "return," a phenomenon that takes many forms in the nexus.

On Monday night, Jeremiah Trotter and Merrill Reese enter the exclusive club known as the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame. For both men, it is an honor richly deserved but it did not come easily. It was in many ways an uphill climb.
Trotter did not even play football in junior high school. One of eight children growing up in Hooks, Texas, Trotter worked with his father, Myra, chopping wood. When the other kids were heading off to football practice, Trotter was picking up his axe and going off to work. His father finally relented and allowed him to play in high school, but only with the understanding he would chop his share of wood when he came home.
Trotter received a football scholarship to a Division 1-AA school, Stephen F. Austin State University, where he earned All-Southland Conference honors. He left school early to enter the 1998 NFL Draft so he could better support his family. His father was 75 at the time and Trotter said, "It was my time to take over." He was selected by the Eagles in the third round, but he spent his rookie season backing up veteran James Willis at middle linebacker and playing mostly on special teams.
It wasn't until the following year when Andy Reid took over as head coach and hired Jim Johnson as defensive coordinator that Trotter was given a chance to show what he could do. The 6-1, 260-pound Trotter led the team with 202 tackles and punctuated every big hit with a simulated axe chop, a tribute to his father. It became Trotter's trademark and earned him the nickname, "Axe Man." He became a four-time Pro Bowl selection and fan favorite - see how many No. 54 jerseys still are worn around Philadelphia - but he was largely ignored that first year.
He went to WCOZ, a radio station in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. He met with the station manager who studied Reese's application and said, "You can't start here. You have to start someplace small." Reese's response: "But this is Coatesville." In other words, what could be smaller than this?
He also was turned down at WPAZ in Pottstown, Pennsylvania - "I was so nervous the station manager thought I'd have a heart attack on the air," Reese recalls. He was called back when the station realized it needed someone to broadcast the Pottsgrove-Spring Ford high school football game. He broke into the Philadelphia market doing sports reports for WWDB and WHAT and later WIP-AM. He began hosting the Eagles pre- and postgame shows in the early '70s and in 1977 he was assigned the role of color analyst working alongside play-by-play announcer Charlie Swift.
Swift died in December of that year and Reese was moved into the play-by-play role for the final two games of the season. He has been there ever since. This marks his 40th year as the Voice of the Eagles, making him the longest tenured play-by-play man in the National Football League. He is now the first media member inducted into the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame. He has come a long way from Pottstown.
Trotter and Reese both connected with the Philadelphia fans albeit in different ways. In a town that celebrates defense, Trotter was a perfect fit, a big bruising middle linebacker in the mold of a Bill Bergey and Chuck Bednarik who delivered blows that reverberated through the 700 level. He played with great emotion and, along with safety Brian Dawkins, he brought the fire to the Eagles' defense every gameday for eight seasons.
Reese brings his own brand of passion to the broadcast booth. Generations of Eagles fans have grown up listening to his calls and now they know them by heart. Indeed, when he authored his autography (along with sportswriter Mark Eckel), he titled it, "It's GooooooD," his famous call for every big Eagles field goal from Tony Franklin to Roger Ruzek to David Akers and now Caleb Sturgis.
Walk through the parking lot before any Eagles game and you are sure to hear fans of all ages imitating Reese as they toss the football around. His distinct voice is as much a part of football in this town as the fight song and the E-A-G-L-E-S chant. Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie said when he bought the team in 1994, one of the first things he was told was that Merrill Reese was part of the deal. Lurie could change coaches but he couldn't change the guy behind the microphone. The fans wouldn't accept it.
Reese likes to tell the story about riding in the car one day and hearing SportsRadio 94WIP's Angelo Cataldi announce a Merrill Reese sound-alike contest. The morning radio host asked fans to call in with their best Merrill impersonation. Reese was amused and decided to call in himself.
Trotter and Reese had tough acts to follow. Trotter followed Bednarik and Bergey, both Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Famers, at the middle linebacker position. Reese followed numerous play-by-play voices, most notably Bill Campbell who broadcast every professional franchise in the city but is best remembered for calling the action on the Eagles' last NFL championship season in 1960. Reese was sitting in the stands at Franklin Field back then with a transistor radio pressed to his ear listening to Campbell's play by play.

Q: After clustering on a subset of time series, how can I associate the remaining time series with already created clusters? I would like to know if there is a way to associate time series with existing clusters?
In practice, I considered a subset of time series and for each I extracted some features (after which I applied the k-means and grouped similar ones) having 6 clusters.
Is it possible to insert the remaining time series directly into one of the clusters already created in which there are similar time series?

A: You can get the centroid of each cluster, compute the distance of the new time-serie to each centroid and insert that time-serie to the nearest cluster.
