Dither is Loss
There's this thing in digital audio called Dither. It's the first step of lossy-ness. But it's never talked about outside of mastering engineer shop talk. I think it's ignored because it's misunderstood, and frankly, would hurt sales if explained.
Dither, using the most simple explanation, is static.
Fuzz.
White noise.
It is added to digital audio files in the studio on purpose.
On purpose !?!
It is needed to cover up the nasty residue from downsampling.
Downsampling is when a digital audio file has it's resolution reduced.
This reduction is done before getting to you, the consumer, for reasons that aren't totally needed anymore.
Key point — this is the basis of so-called hi-res music. If your copy is the same resolution as the files were in the music studio while being created, you have a hi-res copy.
If your resolution is lower than the original, it's probably been dithered, and compressed using a lossy codec.
Is 16/44 lossless (CD quality) hi-res?
Depends on how it was recorded.
If, in the studio, that artist, producer, mixing engineer and mastering engineer all worked with 16/44 tracks, then 16/44 is indeed hi-res. It's the highest native res they have.
"Hi-res" actually means highest native resolution.
Chances are the studio production was done at higher than 16/44 resolution. After all, 24/48 and 24/88 resolutions have been standard since the 1990's.
Since 2010 or so 24/96 has been common. Whatever they mixed in is the native (hi-res) version.
Upsampling doesn't matter here.
You have the same signal after you upsample, you just have more blank space in it.
In some rare cases (like restoration of bad audio) mastering engineers will upsample to work on a project then downsample before distribution. This rare instance doesn't affect this debate because they usually downsample without dither in those cases.
So why Dither, again?
Downsampling a complex audio signal means you have to fit that waveform into fewer datapoints. Less pixels, so to speak. Look at your computer monitor. It might display around 1280 x 720 pixels, a total of 921,600 pixels.
If that screen could only display a resolution of 800 x 600 for a total of 480,000 pixels, that's a whopping 48% reduction in pixels!
Could you see the same detail at 800 x 600 as you could at 1280 x 720?
Guess what – your ears are far more accurate and attentive to loss and damage than even your eyes.
Taking an audio file from say 24/88 to 16/44 by downsampling reduces it greatly. The resulting 'jaggies' in the audio signal – due to the bigger 'pixels' – sound horrible. They can leave glitches and digital damage sounds in the file. They are in no way musical or easy to avoid.
From Wikipedia: The process of reducing bit-resolution causes quantization errors, also known as truncation distortion, which if not prevented, can sound very unpleasant
That's why Dither was developed.
Engineers found that by applying a small amount of static or fuzz or white noise randomization to the downsampled signal, the nasty glitches went away, or were otherwise covered up.
Masking always has side effects. So they reduced the file size and covered up some of the damage with inaudible fuzz. Why is it bad? It's not really bad.
It just is the first step of degradation from the original, and is not really needed anymore. Not in 2018 or future years.
This is all based on bandwidth restrictions. File size. That's the only reason to downsample in the first place.
In 1978 they developed the standard of 16/44, determined to be good enough for consumer music. It had the right mix of quality sound and file size.
By their standards, the files were huge. CD's were invented to hold all that data! A song might be 50mb. A whole album could be 500mb. That was a lot of data back then.
It would literally cost 10's of thousands of dollars to get a hard drive big enough to hold 1 album!
We simply couldn't afford to store, transfer, or convert high-res 24bit audio files back then.
In fact it took until the mid 90's for professional studio to be able to afford hi-res. It took until 2010 or so for an average consumer to afford using hi-res music.
In the late-90's, some music labels with huge archive libraries began re-converting analog masters to digital at 24bit. The amazing thing was we learned that in some cases, their original 16bit digitization efforts weren't even complete!
It's not just production.
Consumer music is about the playback device. Playback devices need to be affordable or no one will buy them.
The price of a DAC in the 1980's that could convert 24bit files cost 5x as much as a DAC that could convert 16bit files.
It just wasn't practical to use 24bit as a consumer format in the 80's. Even if you lived with bigger files you'd need hundreds of dollars of storage space and much more expensive DAC's.
The sad thing is that sometime in the early 21st century our chip prices, bandwidth, and price of storage all reached a level where we no longer need all this degradation of our art.
A full-resolution, stereo 24bit digital signal takes as much bandwidth as a Netflix HD stream. There's millions of them going 24/7.
But people still degrade their music, 2, 3, even 4 times before it hits their ear. #Sad.
Instead of going to 11 they decided to dial it back to 5. And keep it there forever.

Since her debut single in 2013, Scottish sound sculptor Sophie has emerged as quite possibly the most important, boundary-destroying producer of the last decade. Early singles like "Bipp," "Lemonade" and her co-production on QT's "Hey QT" were packaged as "pop" songs, but were actually exercises in anonymous avant-garde cartoon chipmunk bubblegum replete with stark retro-future noise, slurps and swoops in the uncanny valley and wet noises that felt too close for comfort. Cool stuff for a buzzy Soundcloud sensation, surely, but the real coup was getting pop music to bend towards her warped vision. Sophie's tweaked-out Blade-Runner-via-J-pop production has since infiltrated releases by Madonna, Charli XCX, Vince Staples, Cashmere Cat and more.
The most intriguing songs on the album are hard-churning, stark, quasi-industrial noise-step tracks like "Ponyboy," "Faceshopping" and nine-minute closer "Whole New World:Pretend World." Here it sounds like she's taken the textures of her beloved Eighties house music and the swallowing screes of modern brostep and isolated them, treating each sound like a fat Lego. Vocal duties are handled by both Sophie and Cecile Believe and they aren't content to stay in one mode – which is appropriate for a song like "Faceshopping," which deals explicitly with identity. "Ponyboy" features voices like a cartoony dom and growling sub; the popping P's in "Faceshopping" sound like an ASMR video; bog monster glurps are in "Whole New World." And in all three, parts recall the flighty vocal tics of Nineties R&B of Mary J. Blige or Mariah Carey.
Elsewhere, "Pretending" is a drone suite that ends like a decelerating machine; "Infatuation" is an R&B dreampop song caught in a tornado of digital noise; and the album's closing two minutes sounds like a blown out synth cyclone like those of Tim Hecker or Ben Frost. If pop music continues to follow Sophie's lead, we are in for some pretty wild times.

La chiesa di San Giorgio è un edificio religioso situato a San Giorgio a Bibbiano, frazione del comune di Cascina, in provincia di Pisa.

Storia e descrizione
La chiesa è documentata in un atto risalente al 12 aprile 970, con cui il vescovo di Pisa Alberico concesse la metà dei terreni, rendite e case alla Pieve di San Giovanni e Santa Maria Assunta a Cascina..

Lo stile della chiesa è il tipico Romanico pisano: il materiale utilizzato nella costruzione della chiesa, costituita da blocchi regolari alternati, è calcare cavernoso e verrucano.
Essa è costituita da una sola navata di grandi dimensioni, e presenta le particolarità di avere la facciata rivolta a mezzogiorno.

La chiesa è inoltre tronca al vertice, dove culmina in una piccola e pesante bifora a vela, aggiunta nel 1603, sulle cui colonne sono presenti dei bassorilievi rievocanti la lotta di San Giorgio con il drago.

Sulla facciata della chiesa è ancora oggi visibile una lapide che indica l'altezza delle acque raggiunte dall'Arno nell'alluvione del 1855. Nello stesso anno la parrocchia contava 934 abitanti..

Anxious Spaces: Performance Festival
A celebration of artists using installation work as a platform for performance, featuring Raul de Nieves, Christian Joy, Hisham Bharoocha, Brian Chase, Desi Santiago,and more.
Hisham Bharoocha
Hisham Bharoocha is a Brooklyn-based artist, focused on visual art, photography and music. Bharoocha's visual work seeks to materialize the images generated by the mind while meditating or dreaming. These creations illustrate the absurd confluence of the logic of our mundane lives and the parallel logic of the unconscious mind. Hisham founded the bands Lightning Bolt and Black Dice, and his current solo project is called Soft Circle. Bharoocha has had solo exhibitions at D'Amelio Terras Gallery (New York) and presented work at the Vleeshal (Netherlands). See video below for Hisham Bharoocha in performance with IIII, a roving, concept-driven musical project involving anywhere from 4 to 40 international and local drummers. In this performance, the group appeared at Union Pool in Brooklyn, NY.
IIII on 090411 at Union Pool from Cinecycle on Vimeo.
Raul de Nieves
Raul de Nieves is a large-scale figurative sculptor, narrative painter, ornamental shoe and garment designer, multimedia performance artist, and musician. De Nieves' sculptural shoes and installations are predominantly comprised of colorful, intricate beadwork and respectively act as prop and stage for his lavish performances. His work marries a fairytale aesthetic with subversive tones of rebellion, resulting in an experience of unearthly decadence. De Nieves' performances have been exhibited at The Whitney Museum, MoMA PS1, MoMA San Francisco, and Performa. For Anxious Spaces: Installation as Catalyst, Raul de Nieves presented Celebration, an installation and performance. De Nieves created multicolored beaded and plaster sculptural works for the installation of Celebration. Winged children, representing the different stages of life, hung suspended in the air or gathered around the main alter piece where the bejeweled "Mother" sculpture rested. Awakening from his party tomb, howling spirits arose with de Nieves' unearthly incantations.
Christian Joy
Christian Joy is an American costume designer and artist best known for her stage costume designs for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs lead singer, Karen O. Often abandoning the traditional materials of thread and print, Joy's pieces incorporate glue, marker pens, and found items, making her work influential in the punk and DIY style scene. She began her styling career without any formal training in fashion design, creating one-of-a-kind hand-painted/hand-sewn t-shirts and re-designing old prom dresses. Joy's work has been exhibited at Space 15 Twenty, Los Angeles (2009), Audio Visual Arts, New York (2009), and Secret Project Robot, Brooklyn (2013). For Anxious Spaces: Installation as Catalyst, DIY guru Christian Joy presented Bok Joy, an installation and collaborative performance. Joy installed larger-than-life hanging soft sculptures, that greeted visitors to Knockdown's gallery space. Inspired by children's bop bags and the work of Japanese film director Hayoa Miyazaki, these "characters" were constructed from vibrantly colored fabrics and incorporate textile designs, drawing on Joy's experience as a costume designer. Joy's focus was on the independent movement of fabric. For the performance festival, Joy's installation was animated by musician Bubbles and the dance troupe Accidental Movement.
Ben Wolf
Ben Wolf is an installation-driven, large-scale site-specific sculptor. His work incorporates rotten boards, rusted stair wells, peeling paint and other objects of decadent abandonment. Combining the techniques of carpentry, welding, and casting, and a process of adding, stacking, and layering, he simultaneously embraces and arranges the chaos of his materials. Wolf has exhibited his work at the Rabid Hands Collective (Detroit), Secret Project Robot (New York), and MU Eindhoven (Holland).
Ranjit Bhatnagar
Ranjit Bhatnagar is a sound sculptor who works with technology, language, and found materials to create interactive installations and musical instruments. Bhatnagar's projects include his ongoing Instrument-A-Day series, in which he creates a new homemade musical instrument every day throughout one month of the year. His works have been exhibited at the Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley, Flux Factory in Queens, the Pratt Institute in New York, and the Mermaid Show at the Williamsburg Art and Historical Center in Brooklyn. Bhatnagar taught "Mister Resistor" at Parsons School of Design, a studio course and rock band with homemade instruments.
Desi Santiago
Desi Santiago is a Puerto Rican visual and performance artist based in New York City. Santiago's work is inspired by the relationship between the subculture of the New York City nightlife scene and the fashion and fine arts worlds. His performance pieces similarly reflect this aesthetic theme, in their focus on the dual ritual of mourning and celebration. His large-scale installations often serve as a theatrical platform for his exploration of the body as "host" for experience and identity. Santiago received an MFA from Bard College. His work has been exhibited at the Matthew Marks Gallery, MoMA PS1, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museé des Arts Decoratifs, Paris, and Art Basel Miami Beach. For Anxious Spaces: Installation as Catalyst, nightlife subculture explorer Desi Santiago presented Mummy Procession, an installation and performance. Santiago created a massive fallen idol, an all-white mummy with mirror eyes and flowing hair. The decapitated head lay in Knockdown's great hall until the time of its grand procession came, at which point the ceremonial parade through the property began, costumed attendants following the ghostly head float in its wake.
Anxious Spaces 2014: Bubbles
A live recording of the synth-pop duo Bubbles performing in DIY guru Christian Joy's Bok Joy installation for the Anxious Spaces: Performance Festival at Knockdown Center. Bubbles is comprised of Jason P. Grisell (vocals, electronics, live instruments) and Alain Levitt (beats, electronics). Their sound mixes ecstatic wordplay and vocals, inventive beatmaking, low-end frequencies, noise guitar, melodic bass guitar lines, and synth. Inspired by classic dance floor styles of downtown NYC circa the 1980s, among many other genres, the beats brought the festival crowd to their feet and grooving alongside the Bok Joy dancers.
Anxious Spaces VnessWolfCHild
VnessWolfCHild (Vanessa Cronan) croons to the audience in the Coliseum of Bliss Tint Token, a massive sculpture built by Ben Wolf as an homage to joy. Psychedelic, interactive songs like I Love My Body float into the hot summer air in this live set, staged for the Anxious Spaces: Performance Festival at Knockdown Center.
Anxious Spaces: Trabajo
Trabajo, the project of electronic sound artists Yuchen Lin and TJ Richards, features an an intermix of musical genres including gamelan, exotica, folk, and noise. In this recording, the artists play live in the Coliseum of Bliss Tint Token installation by Ben Wolf; their performance is a part of the Anxious Spaces Performance Festival at Knockdown Center.
Anxious Spaces: Desi Santiago, Mummy Procession
A recording from within Desi Santiago's massive Mummy sculpture as it serpentined through Knockdown Center, on the occasion of the Anxious Spaces Performance Festival. Costumed attendants followed the ghostly head float in its wake.
Anxious Spaces 2014: Dutch E Germ
Electronic remix artist Tim Dewit (aka Dutch E Germ) brings the beats in his performance with the Zero to 0 drum circle installation by Hisham Bharoocha and Ranjit Bhatnagar. Dewit grew up in the DC punk scene, and continues to be a key figure in underground music . His sound combines an exotic sense of percussive rhythm and dark melody, heard here in this live recording of his set at the Anxious Spaces Performance Festival at Knockdown Center.
Anxious Spaces: Tyondai Braxton
In this live recording from the Anxious Spaces Performance Festival at Knockdown Center, experimental, multi-instrumental musician Tyondai Braxton performs a piece designed to play in tandem with the drum circle installation Zero to 0 by Hisham Bharoocha and Ranjit Bhatnagar. Braxton's music focuses on "orchestrated loops," a real-time overlaying of guitar, voice, and found objects designed to simulate an ensemble. He was formerly the guitarist, keyboardist and singer of the experimental rock group Battles.
Anxious Space: Mick Barr
The avant-garde metal guitarist and composer Mick Barr stepped into the drum circle installation Zero to 0 by Hisham Bharoocha and Ranjit Bhatnagar for the Anxious Spaces Performance Festival at Knockdown Center. Barr shreds and the drums join in, for this an electrifying half hour set.

Carolyn King Arnold (at left) and Keyaira D. Saunders (middle) respond to questions from event moderator Cydney Walker during a forum held at the Moorland Family YMCA Tuesday night. The two are vying to replace Dwaine Caraway at the District 4 seat on the Dallas City Council.
A crowd of about 100 District 4 residents gathered at the Moorland Family YMCA on Tuesday night to hear from the two candidates vying for the district's seat on the Dallas City Council. Carolyn King Arnold and Keyaira D. Saunders are the two surviving candidates in a runoff for the position which originally featured more than a dozen challengers.
The event was presented by Coffee & Politics 101 and was hosted by Cydney Walker.
It is a sensitive race for the district as it was necessary following the resignation of sitting councilperson Dwaine Caraway amid a criminal conviction for corruption charges stemming from the now-defunct Dallas County Schools. The district has now been without representation on the council for more than 100 days.
Key issues of concern for the residents of District 4 are gentrification (and the potential impact of a planned deck park over IH-35), the effects of police brutality and the corresponding shortage of police in the city, and a lack of attention to infrastructure and development in the district. Both candidates asserted that they were aware of and understood the issues and vowed to serve the best interest of the residents in those regards.
The race ultimately could come down to whether voters trust an experienced hand in the process or are looking for a change. The two remaining candidates in the District 4 race represent both ends of the spectrum.
While there is no incumbent in the race, Arnold has served on the city council before. She replaced Caraway, who had reached term limits, besting a field of eight candidates in 2015 (including Saunders). Arnold lost her seat when Caraway returned from term limit hiatus in 2017. Arnold sees her previous experience on the council as a definite incentive for voters to return her to her previous seat, citing the relationships she already has at city hall. Experience is one of the factors considered when the North Dallas Gazette endorsed Arnold during the general election.
Before going on the city council for the first time, Arnold was an educator, beginning her career in Dallas at Bishop Dunne Catholic School and ending with opening the Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center. On the community side, she is the president of the Glen Oaks HOA and the Oak Cliff Leadership Council.
Saunders is a professional photographer, mother of three and a nine-year resident of District 4. Recently, Saunders has been active supporting Democratic candidates in their election efforts. She is active in the TLMBC Community Development Corporation, the NAACP and the ACLU. She was instrumental in devising the "Kelly Alert," a program for notification and action when adults aged 21-45 go missing. More well known to the residents of District 4, she is a founding member of the Next Generation Action Network, a lobbying group for social action, change and equality.
Saunders' key phrase is "reform, reform, reform." She is calling on voters to reject the "status quo." On that account, she rejects the idea that Arnold's previous experience on the council is a reason for voters to send her back to the horseshoe.
The runoff election will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 11. Early voting has already begun and continues until Dec. 7.

: As Fed raises rates, economists are now warning of 'overvalued' property markets. Some homes in Provo, Utah, drew 50 offers at the peak of housing boom. Not anymore.
Moving to Utah was a no-brainer for Leola Broussard.
Broussard, who previously rented a home from a friend in the pricey Stanford–Palo Alto area south of San Francisco, where housing costs, she told MarketWatch, are "just totally outrageous."
Over the two years of the pandemic, many Americans, like Broussard, have flocked to Utah, seeking bigger living spaces and less congestion. It was bittersweet for Broussard because of her love of living in Northern California.
Still, the tidal wave of Californians, a growing millennial population and a shortage of home-building materials have combined to unleash an explosion in home prices in Utah, which mostly mirrors a national trend.
What Broussard, a researcher in the IT sector, doesn't miss about the Bay Area are "the hustle and bustle and the craziness." In Utah, she said, "there's more of a work-life balance."
That influx has come at a price: Recent research from Florida Atlantic University and Florida International University suggests that, based on historical pricing, properties in several cities in Utah — including Ogden and Provo — could be overvalued by as much as 50%.
" 'If we're not at the peak of the current housing cycle, we're awfully close.' "
— Ken Johnson, Florida Atlantic University
The median price of a home in Salt Lake County, which comprises Salt Lake City, Riverton, Draper, West Valley, West Jordan and other municipalities, was roughly $512,850 in May 2022, up 27% over the past year, according to Zillow. That compares with a national median house price of $349,816 in May 2022, up 20.7% over the past year.
"Near-record-low mortgage rates helped fuel demand for housing, especially during the pandemic, and the competition for homes pushed prices higher. But now the Federal Reserve is raising rates to curtail inflation, and already that's cooling demand," Ken Johnson, a co-author of the study and an economist at Florida Atlantic University's College of Business, told a Florida Atlantic news publication.
"If we're not at the peak of the current housing cycle, we're awfully close," he added. "Recent buyers in many of these cities may have to endure stagnant or falling home values while the market settles — and that's not what they want to hear if they had planned to resell anytime soon."
Recent research suggests that, based on historical prices, properties in several cities in Utah — including Ogden and Provo — were overvalued by as much as 50%.
Local experts, however, disagree that houses in Provo are overvalued and destined to decline. Instead, they say, prices are actually likely to appreciate further given the surge of interest in the Beehive State.
But one thing is clear: The market there is cooling. Dejan Eskic, senior research fellow at the University of Utah, told MarketWatch that instead of a house receiving 15 offers, sellers are now fielding three or four.
That's still a significant number of offers, Eskic stressed. Properties in Utah remain on the market for a median of nine days, according to Redfin data. In Salt Lake City, homes are on the market for about a week; in Pleasant Grove, five days.
Eskic said that prior to the housing boom, homes were on the market between two weeks and 3½ weeks. So "we've had roughly 18 months of price appreciation," he added, "and we're still headed in that direction."
The question is, for how long? Case in point: At one point during the pandemic, Andrew Ford, a Realtor in Provo, told MarketWatch that it was not unusual for a property to receive 50 offers. "It was crazy to submit the offers to our sellers," he said.
In fact, he would put the offers on a spreadsheet "so the seller could go through it and pick the best ones." As recent as two or three months ago, he was seeing 10 offers per home. Now, he's seeing listings get offers in the single digits. The number of people competing for a house is decreasing, but they're still offering over the asking price, Ford said.
Provo is the third largest city in Utah, after Salt Lake City and West Valley City.
Nationwide, the U.S. housing market appears to be slowing down, due in part to the Federal Reserve increasing interest rates. Homebuilders ran out of windows, garage doors; they weathered a spike in lumber prices.
The economists at Florida Atlantic and Florida International had some cautionary advice for buyers in other real-estate markets they believe are overvalued. Those markets include Boise, Idaho; Austin, Texas; Ogden, Utah; and Las Vegas — all of which they identified as overvalued by more than 60%.
The authors add that just because a market is overvalued by 50% or 60% based on historical price movements does not mean it will fall by that amount, but they don't discount a painful wakeup call for buyers and sellers in those markets.
One persistent issue propping up prices in Utah: a housing-materials shortage, combined with a strong native millennial home buying population, Eskic said.
When he asks builders in Utah which materials they're lacking, "over the last year, probably every month, I get a different answer," Eskic said.
And, while supply lags, the demand for homes remains so strong that it's creating an affordability crisis, economists say.
'Ridiculous' pricing
Last year, competition for homes reached a fever pitch. "As prices accelerated in 2021, more than half of Utah households [were] unable to afford the median-priced home," Eskic wrote in an October 2021 report. The median annual household income in 2020, according to the most recent data from the St. Louis Federal Reserve, was $83,670.
Leola Broussard said that her experience buying and selling homes in Utah has given her a firsthand look into the local housing market for the first time.
Last May, she bought a condominium unit in Pleasant Grove, which is a part of the Provo-Orem metro area. When she was in the process of selling it in February, she recalled that, the first day it was listed, her agent received a couple of calls and three offers. Within two days, they had almost 10 offers in total.
"The pricing is totally ridiculous," Broussard said. In April, she moved into her second Utah home, a three-bedroom house she bought for over $450,000 in Eagle Mountain, nearer her family. (In 2021, Google parent Alphabet
GOOG,
purchased 300 acres in Eagle Mountain for a new data center, a The Salt Lake Tribune reported. Facebook also has a data center in the area.)
The rise in house prices in Provo during the course of the pandemic seems strangely familiar to Broussard. "It's almost like I left California to go to California," she said.

Below you will find some photos of one of our latest projects. It is a home located in Sunset Hills, Missouri. The entire house has been remodeled in two phase. The front half of the house was phase one and an addition across the entire rear was phase 2.
The first phase included a bump out of the existing dining room, foyer and library. We added on the two of the existing four bedrooms and added an awesome two story stone turret to a third existing bedroom. A stone wainscot was added to the entire front elevation making the house seem longer.
The second phase added a stunning new kitchen and a homey kitchen eating room with full two story vaulted ceilings. We remolded the existing family room turning it into a warm siting room with an existing fireplace and new mantle. We added a wine bar and stained wood wainscot with picture framed raised panels transforming the existing family room into a very cozy sitting room.
We added a new large family room with a new gas fireplace, wood stained mantel, stained crown and coffer-ed ceiling. The center piece of the house is a new stair case from the basement to the second floor with stained treads and painted risers and picture framed painted panels flowing up from the first floor to the second floor. A rear stair was added from the landing into the new kitchen.

Indian craze for the Guinness book of records calls for a world record!
Posted on May 20, 2013 by Sanjay Puri
There was a time when Guinness Book Records sparked interest and appreciation from people all around the world like the announcement of the Nobel Prize. Now it appears that there are new entries for new, bizarre or novel feats by people who seem obsessed with the idea of entering the Guinness book of records!
Indians are obsessed with entering the Guinness book of records by performing the weirdest and strangest acts—big and small both! Here we see a man pulling a train with his hair.
While Indians have won records over the fanciest records: World's longest moustaches, beards and longest fingernails, there are others like some tedious writing on a grain of rice, eating the hottest chilies' (in the world) in two minutes, and stacking tallest column of coins and it is startling to note a holy man making the world record for remaining seated for the longest period of time or someone pulling a toy train with his ponytail! It takes great human effort; endurance and will power to achieve a feat that inspires people about the power of human mind, body and spirit. Following some of these fancy world records make me curious about the obsession that Indians have about Guinness records that they would etch their names in the most bizarre manner in the record of fame.
The wettest place on earth!
Look around, there are small and staple items in the newspaper published nationally and internationally from over the last few years and it will become apparent that the Indian print and media is obsessed with the idea of Indian triumph in making a World record (of sorts) even if it involves etching a record on the place with highest annual rainfall (wettest land-Cherrapunji) and the largest Roti/chapatti(!!) and I wonder what will be next!
I like the idea of Indians entering world records for feats that demand extra-ordinary efforts establishing feats that command respect, but performing stunts just to be in the record book is something that needs a check. Indians were the third-largest number of record applications in 2011, behind the United States and the United Kingdom. Also some of these high-risk stunts/actions for world records demand safety gadgets, insurance and expert training! The lack of sound safety standards can lead to serious injuries and casualties which should be a cause of concern for world record aspirants in India.
Why India has its very own Limca book of records in case they miss the Guinness records!
Your views are welcome.

Background: Food allergy is an increasing public health burden, and is considered among the most common chronic noncommunicable diseases in children. Proper diagnosis and management of food allergy by a health care provider is crucial in keeping affected children safe while simultaneously averting unnecessary avoidance.
Objective: The rationale of the study was to estimate the knowledge of pediatric residents and academic general pediatric fellows with regard to food allergies in children.
Methods: A cross-sectional and prospective study was carried out at Hamad Medical Corporation, the only tertiary care, academic and teaching hospital in the State of Qatar. The study took place between January 1, 2015 and September 30, 2015.
Results: Out of the 68 questionnaires distributed, 68 (100%) were returned by the end of the study. Among the participants, 15 (22%) were in post-graduate year-1 (PGY-1), 16 (23.5%) in PGY-2, 17 (25%) in PGY-3, 12 (16%) in PGY-4, and 8 (12%) were academic general pediatric fellows. Our trainees answered 60.14% of knowledge based questions correctly. In the section of treatment and management of food allergy in childhood, 23 (34%) of respondents' main concern when taking care of a patient with food allergies was making sure the patient is not exposed to food allergen, while 22 (33%) reported no concerns. In the section of treatment and management of food allergy in childhood, 22 (33%) of participants reported no concerns in taking care of a child with food allergy, while 23 (34%) of respondents' main concern was making sure the patient is not exposed to food allergen. In the teaching and training section, 56% of participants stated that they have not received formal education on how to recognize and treat food allergies, while 59% claimed not being trained on how to administer injectable epinephrine. Furthermore, approximately 60% of all participants expressed the need of additional information about recognizing and treating food allergies and recommended certification and regulation of food allergy training for all residents.
Conclusion: There is an appreciable lack of knowledge in identifying food allergy and managing anaphylaxis reaction in children, among pediatric residents. Robust efforts should be implemented by attending immunologists to improve the lack of knowledge and improve the trainee's confidence when facing such cases.


In news that took many in the telecommunications industry by surprise, Brian Metherell, vice-president and general manager of Toshiba's Telecommunication Systems Division (TSD), recently announced Toshiba would officially be shutting down this division.
With Toshiba employees, dealer networks, and existing customers largely unaware this news was coming, what does this unexpected announcement mean for those who are now uncertain about the future of their telecommunications systems?
Who Is Affected by This Announcement?
This shutdown only affects the Telecommunication Systems Division of Toshiba—not the entire corporation.
Still, this news impacts a large number of people. Toshiba has traditional phone systems installed for a sizable customer base across the States, and their network of dealer is comparable expansive. That has left many people—those within Toshiba as well as those using their products—uncertain about the next step in the wake of this announcement.
Toshiba's TSD was a manufacturer of business telephone systems for small, midsize, and large corporations, with either one or multiple locations. They handled both digital and IP phone systems, although their focus tended to be more on the digital end of the spectrum. Based out of Irvine, California, they served the United States and Latin America.
For customers and dealers alike, the announcement of the shutdown was sudden and unexpected.
When Will This Shutdown Take Place?
Short answer, immediately. Metherell's letter to the current Toshiba dealers went out March 21, 2017, and in that announcement, it specified this change was immediate.
That being said, dealers are able to still submit new orders through May 22, 2017. These new orders are subject to both inventory availability and acceptance of a given purchase order.
Where Are These Changes Happening?
This shutdown only affects the Telecommunication Systems Division—not all divisions within Toshiba—but the shutdown is effective across North America. That means Toshiba's TSD will no longer be selling to the United States, Latin America, Canada, or Mexico.
Why Is This Shutdown Happening?
This telecommunications shutdown is just one of several steps in the face of these financial troubles. Most notably, Toshiba is looking to sell its smartphone and computer memory chip operations. Initial reports indicated Toshiba was only interested in a minor stake sale of this business, but the latest news shows the $6.3 billion writedown on the nuclear unit has left Toshiba open to a majority-share sale in order to right the fiscal ship.
How Will This Shutdown Affect Me?
If you currently have a Toshiba telecommunication system, there's no need to panic. Your current system will continue to operate. Even if you decide to transition to a new system, you won't have to deal with a gap in your telecommunication coverage.
Toshiba has stated they will still honor all warranty and maintenance obligations to current customers.
If you're a VIPedge customer, you can get out of your contract—without an early termination fee.
Even though dealers are authorized to keep selling these systems until May 22, 2017, there is no long-term R and D potential there. For anyone looking for a telecommunication solution, an alternate system with a full-support operation would be preferable.
Mostly or entirely eliminate local and long-distance phone bills.
Enjoy voice mail to e-mail capabilities, desktop CRM integration, call recording, mobile apps, and more.
Toshiba was notoriously behind on these telecommunication capabilities, so some current Toshiba customers actually have none of these VoIP benefits. That means now is a great time to start reassessing the telecommunications market and exploring what options are right for you and your business.
If you're rapidly expanding, moving, or want to make significant changes in your telecommunications system, you want to know you'll have long-term support with whatever system you choose. Since no new Toshiba systems will be offered past May 22, 2017, now could be the perfect time to find an alternate communications option that can scale with you and your business—now and in the future.
If you have any questions or concerns about what this Toshiba announcement means for you, or if you want to explore your current telecommunications options, please feel free to contact me, Damon Finaldi, president of Tele-Data Solutions, Inc., at 908-851-0444, or e-mail us at info@tele-datasolutions.com.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised. With Wendy Davis's recent announcement of her gubernatorial plans, Texas is making it harder for its citizens to vote with a policy that disproportionately affects low-income women.
As of November 5, Texans must show a photo ID with their up-to-date legal name. It sounds like such a small thing, but according to the Brennan Center for Justice, only 66 percent of voting age women have ready access to a photo document that will attest to proof of citizenship. This is largely because young women have not updated their documents with their married names, a circumstance that doesn't affect male voters in any significant way. Suddenly 34 percent of women voters are scrambling for an acceptable ID, while 99 percent of men are home free.
Not only that—in order to get their photo IDs, Texas requires them to bring original documents of name change (marriage certificate, divorce certificate, or court-ordered name change)—no photocopies allowed. Getting approved copies of such documents is often expensive or difficult to obtain.
I'm with HuffPo on this—the timing of this isn't an accident. With the Supreme Court knocking out Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act this summer, I feel like we can expect to see more of this soon.

Cathay Pacific is running a flight to Osaka and making seats available only on miles. They aren't the first airline to do this, usually a place like Hawaii. With the right accounting assumptions and with spare aircraft capacity it can even be profitable in the short term, aside from the benefits that'll accrue from securing customer loyalty.

It's been said that if you don't know where you came from, you don't know where you're going. Finding out where you come from can be an important factor for people as far as a sense of identity goes – this is why websites like ancestry.com are so popular along with DNA genealogy services. Sometimes we are surprised at where we come from. A good friend of mine has invested a lot of time in genealogy. His parents came to Canada from Dublin and he's been able to trace his roots back to the 19th century very accurately with photographs even – it's very cool and meaningful.
This morning we're looking at where the church came from. This is Pentecost Sunday – the day in the traditional church calendar on which we celebrate the Holy Spirit's coming. I think it's good to focus on the Holy Spirit in an intentional way – not that we don't at other times of the year. I had a theology prof who likened the Holy Spirit in many traditions to Cinderella. The Cinderella of the Trinity, often being left behind as God the Father and Jesus the Son go to the ball. William Barclay in his set of commentaries on the New Testament wrote that the doctrine of the Holy Spirit is one that the church needs to reclaim. Let us look at this story of the birth of the church in Acts and see what the Holy Spirit has to say to our hearts.
"While staying with them, he ordered them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the promise of the Father. 'This,' he said, 'is what you have heard from me, for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.'" These are the words of Jesus to his followers in Acts 1. "Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?" comes the question from his disciples. "It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." In other words, you will be my witnesses everywhere! This is the church's job, as it were. This is not something we're hearing for the first time, I know. I want us to pay attention though to the first thing that the followers of Christ are to do. They're not told to build a church. They're not told to hold a strategic meeting or put together a search committee. They are told to wait.
And pray. I want to look at waiting for a little while. To stop and consider waiting. We need to stop in order to wait. We want even our waiting time to be productive these days, don't we? Everyone looking at their devices as we wait for the bus, or for our appointment. They were constantly devoting themselves to prayer as they waited. Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength. This is how the prophet Isaiah described it. We are not called to do any of this on our own – in fact it would be impossible if it were just up to us. Too often though we think and worry and act and strive like it's all up to us. "Lord help me to know my dependence on you, my need for you," is something I pray often. May we all pray this.
Only God can give what the church most desperately needs. May God give us an ever increasing sense of our need for God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Without God none of this happens. May we pray in the deepest humility for God to be faithful to God's promises. It becomes so freeing. We're not doing this on our own. God is with us always. We mustn't give short shrift to the Holy Spirit. As Pastor Abby said when we were talking about this – He's the one who's been left behind with us! As we wait. And waiting can be hard.
So the disciples are waiting. They wait for the coming of the Holy Spirit. The advent of the Holy Spirit even? The parallels between this story and the birth of Christ story told in Luke's Gospel are significant. Both are announced. Both are awaited. Both have the Holy Spirit involved. Both involve new life. It's like Christmas in June. Happy birthday Holy Spirit! It's not that the Holy Spirit wasn't around before any more than Jesus wasn't around before. All three existing eternally and don't even try to get your mind around that mystery. The spirit of God brooded on the waters in Genesis 1. The spirit of God came on King Saul, on King David. Elisha asked for a double portion of the spirit that had been given to Elijah. But now the Spirit would not only be for prophets and kings and priests – the Spirit would come on everyone and touch us individually like tongues of fire.
Things get shaken up. Just like things got shaken up on Resurrection Day. There was an earthquake then, as Matthew reports. There was the sound like the rush of a violent wind. The Holy Spirit disturbs things. He shakes up the status quo. A sound of a violent wind. It reminds me of making phone calls from subway platforms before cell phone days. Divided tongues, as of fire appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. These are images we're talking about – as of fire. These are images we use to try to explain the inexplicable. This mystery. This power. Fire in scripture is often used to signifying purification – dross being burned away in the making of gold or silver. We sing about it – Refiner's Fire. Fire is also unpredictable. These are images we use to describe the Holy Spirit. Disruptive. Refining. Unpredictable. The wind goes where it wills. In Celtic Christianity, the Holy Spirit was compared to a wild goose – I like that! Who knows what the wild goose will do?! Even domestic geese can be pretty unpredictable. On the land where I spent much of my formative years we raised animals – my dad was a hobby farmer – including geese. One of my jobs when I was young was to herd them into the barn at night. One evening as they were filing in the last goose (which was in fact a gander) decided that he didn't want to be told what to do. He turned around before reaching the door, spread his wings out, put his neck low to the ground and started advancing on me, hissing. I didn't know geese hissed! I turned and ran and jumped over fence. When I turned around to face him from the safe side of the fence he casually turned and sauntered into the barn of his own accord.
The Holy Spirit shakes things up. We need this on an ongoing basis. The Holy Spirit's work was tangible. In this case the followers of Christ started speaking in other languages – the countries of much of the known world of the time are listed by Luke. It meant the universalization of the Christ following life, of course. They heard the followers of God speak about God's deeds of power. Of new life. New life in Christ that was shown at Easter. New life now for us in the Spirit. The opportunity to speak was granted by the activity which was birthed by the Holy Spirit of God.
I say often that in our days, the opportunities we have to proclaim God's message, the good news of mercy and forgiveness and justice and life in Christ will be birthed by Holy Spirit inspired activity. I head the CEO of Yonge St Mission speak recently to a group of Christian leaders about our city. About the systemic, endemic, generational poverty that exists in what is consistently described as one of the top 3 cities in the world. She spoke of how the city needs to be shocked like you shock a pool. Do you know about this? When you maintain a pool you put a small amount of chemicals in it each day, to maintain its' clarity, pH levels and so on. If you neglect it for too long things well go south. It will turn green. If you try the same maintenance routine at that point it won't work. It will stay green. You need to shock it. We wondered how Christians might be able to shock our city. We spoke about people renting out space to low income families – like a cut rate Airbnb type of thing. Christians donating space so that a single mother of 3 doesn't have to try to figure out how to live on $4 per day. We spoke of Christians coming alongside new immigrants – journeying with them, spending time. Taking the church out there. We spoke of street youth who become housed, but have no permanent relationships outside of social workers, intake workers and shelter staff. What if churches could become "landing pads" for such youth – to foster ongoing relationships almost as surrogate parents and aunts and uncles and help them? What if that could happen?
Would that be crazy? Would people wonder if we were drunk? This is what some in the crowd thought. Maybe it's time to get a little crazy. I'm talking about all this activity, but we must always remember that it's based on the engine that drives the church, the Holy Spirit of God. For whom we must learn to wait.
And pray that we be filled. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not just a onetime filling. We must pray to be continually filled, speaking of asking God to fulfill God's promises. Note that all the words we're using here are passive. All the things we talk about doing are not dependent on our own striving. They're dependent on our openness to being filled with the Spirit. When you are baptized you're not actively doing anything, any more than you're actively doing anything be being filled. You're receiving a gift. The gift of the Holy Spirit which is power, which is life. God grant that we might be so filled this day, and all the days.


I had the pleasure to meet her and her family on my last trip in June to Europe. So, lets take a closer look at this young woman called Jill Schmitz.
"Hi, my name is Jill. I'll be doing my internship at JenPEN Creative Studio until January 26th of next year. It's a honor to work at JenPEN Creative Studio. I'm very much inspired by the passion that Jen has for interior design. I've been on the sunny island of Curacao for a week now and I like it very much.
I really love the diversity of the internship, because in the first week I've already assisted at projects like styling of a living room, a creative workshop, a photo shoot for the blog and a bathroom design. Every day is different and that makes working at JenPEN Creative Studio so fun.
I'm 19 years old and live in a town called Posterholt, which is near Roermond in the province of Limburg in the Netherlands. I study spatial design (design, product, spatial and media) at the Sint Lucas Boxtel. It's a very broad course and I specialize in spatial design, which basically has to do with everything about interior design.
Beside my studies, I also work part time in my parents concept store, Jill & Co. They sell everything what a woman really likes, like furniture, home decor, clothes, bags, jewelry etc. Here I've been working for a while with a lot of pleasure.I've been working here for a while and I really enjoy it. My hobbies are going out, working in the concept store and shopping. Things that I do frequently.
The first week on Curacao went very well. Beautiful beaches, friendly people and a lovely weather. I think I can handle being here for the next few months".
I think Jill was just being a bit modest about the lovely weather. She's experiencing the heavy heat of the hurricane season. Even I can't handle it sometimes. But I'm happy to have her here so she could enjoy another culture in the Caribbean. It's going to be 5 months of exploring the island, assisting with great and, as she said, a divers of projects and at the end she'll go home back with a bag with great experiences of a freelance life.
So, when you see this happy face around, please do say...Hey Jill, bonbini na Korsou (welcome to Curacao).
I have been wanting to build a tiny house for a while now. The video of your design is EXACTLY how I would want my tiny home built! Nice work and I wish you the best on your internship.
Yes, it's very well done by her. Thank you for the best wishes.
Good luck with your internship Jill! It was nice to e-meet you!

7-Step Guide to Marketing Your Own Real Estate
Leaders never start by simply accepting the world around them. Instead, they mold the future they want to see.
A brand's personality tells a story about a company's product or service. With organizational structure as the core, a cohesive visual personality helps build client engagement and trust. Without a brand's foundation firmly established, organizations and their advertising agency partners can easily go adrift from their visionary goals.
Need Proof?
Dragonfly Sushi, ToneRite and Grooveshark are local companies that have preserved, enhanced and leveraged their growth through successful branding. Each company has a strong visual appeal that conveys an attitude geared toward growth that will inspire customer loyalty, increase business partners and allow retention of talented employees.
"As a leader in business, it's extremely important to understand the responsibility of developing a brand identity that goes beyond a consistent visual image. Your brand should support and express your vision, values, culture and goals as a company."
-Albert Coronel, Creative Director/Owner at neutral7
Solidified Foundation
Many CEOs do not succeed because they start by shooting blindly, versus aiming at the target. I have spoken to CEO after CEO, and one thing that was unquestionable over a decade and a half was that strong companies have owners who are insistent on having the best, while knowing that it comes with a cost. They have a clear understanding that a company must be larger and hold a more encompassing strategy than the owner's own abilities.
The brand acts as a foundation to a company. It guides and takes into consideration the economics, legalities, ethical obligations, internal and external outreach, cultural sensitivity and more. The brand is the essential platform that defines the positioning, creative thinking and overall communication that will charm and retain a company's target audience, both internally and externally.
Lead vs. Follow
As our community continues to grow with start-ups, innovative ideas, stronger business leaders and CEOs, Gainesville's leading brands will be perceived to be relevant, unique and community oriented.
A brand is not a decoration; it is a natural outgrowth of the vision, structure, culture and people of the company. Knowing how a brand makes someone "feel" is only minimally useful if it fails to capture the attention span of the audience. Therefore, a company's structure must establish a balance with creative communication to evoke an emotional benefit for its audience.
The visual personality of a brand is built with a combination of visual identifiers, tone of voice, behaviors, service presentation and more. To create a truly emotional bond with consumers, the visual senses, experience and personality of the brand are essential.
"We recently designed the brand and packaging for locally owned Southern Heritage Barbecue Sauces. After extensive research, we discovered that the existing visuals didn't contain any of the values important to the client. We needed to go back to the roots of the brand, so we started with several concepts. We developed its values further to attract southern appeal and evoke its heritage.
Sure, we can make something look really great and trendy, but a logo that is designed without meaning will never be able to reach past simply looking nice on paper."
Biotech Ecosystem
– Chrissy Sedgley, Graphic designer at neutral7
Cohesion with Consistency
During a great lecture at a marketing event, I heard a brand expert compare a brand to a mosaic. Although insignificant as a stand-alone piece, each tile – when organized precisely – creates a solid image. Hence, why just putting a logo everywhere is not enough; or how selecting two colors and sticking to them is only skimming the surface of a brand.
Brand cohesiveness means translating the company story to the audience appropriately, no matter where it is and whom it's talking to. Consistency within the brand creates a confident visual look, and through the use of successfully branded materials, a company can create a strong brand identity that will be unforgettable. Although these things may seem like insignificant details, when summed up, they complete a recognizable and inspirational brand.
Whether large or small, well-branded companies demonstrate advantages and disadvantages that must be considered. Branded companies can cost more, pose stricter regulatory constraints and appeal to a strategically targeted narrower market audience. However, they have a faster sales conversion rate, stronger recognition and loyalty and image of size. Quality, reliability and establishment are also easily gained.
Every great achievement starts from an idea, and anything worth accomplishing is worth placing on a strong foundation.

"Way to tell it like it is, Ivy Coach" - The Dartmouth
Asians in Ivy League Admissions
Caroline Simon of "The Daily Pennsylvanian" has written a great piece on the discrimination against Asians and Asian Americans in the admissions process.
Lots of folks are discussing Asian Americans and Asians in Ivy League admissions these days. And we like that. Because there's a problem. And it's one deserving of the public's attention. Indeed there's an article in "The Daily Pennsylvanian," the newspaper of the University of Pennsylvania, authored by Caroline Simon entitled "Colleges' focus on diversity may leave Asians at an admissions disadvantage" that we figured we'd write about. The article discusses a Princeton University study that examines how race impacts admissions decisions. In fact, the study elucidates the impact of race on admissions decisions by quantifying it in terms of points on an SAT (so it's easily understandable).
As Simon Reports, "The study found that applying as an African-American provides an advantage equivalent to an additional 230 points on the SAT, while Hispanics received a 185-point boost. Asian Americans have a "bonus" of negative 50 points. Although the Asian population in the United States has been steadily increasing, the percentage of Asian students at Ivy League universities — including Penn — has remained roughly the same over the past two decades, according to data provided by the National Center for Education Statistics." This data seems to be quite telling. If you're African American, you get an SAT boost when applying to colleges. If you're Latino, you get an SAT boost. If you're Asian, you get an SAT handicap. That's right. A handicap. It's not right. It's not fair. It's high time that action be taken.
As we've written before, we're not sure what will come of the complaint filed against Harvard College by various Asian American groups. It's certainly not the first time a complaint has been filed against universities for alleged discrimination against Asian and Asian American applicants. But, as we've long asserted on the pages of this college admissions blog, when more and more folks lift their voices to criticize the practice of discrimination against Asian and Asian Americans, change can be accomplished. These groups are discriminated against in the admissions process. This is fact, not fiction. The Princeton University study is quite simple and indeed it's telling. These numbers share the true story. And this isn't only the case at Harvard. To single out Harvard as the sole culprit would be unfair as it's the case at every highly selective college across America. It's high time this changed. Maybe — hopefully — that time is now.
While you're here, read our post on Asian Quotas in Ivy League Admissions. To be clear, there are no quotas. But that doesn't mean there isn't discrimination. Because there is.

Objectives: the possible impact of nasal septal deformities (SD) on cardiac pathology has not been well studied, despite growing evidence among data showing that upper airway obstruction has a negative effect on cardiac function in general and a "deviated nasal septum" being considered one of the most frequent factors responsible for impaired nasal breathing. Methods: a retrospective, case-control, double-blind study was performed on 249 patients who survived an acute coro- nary syndrome (ACS) attack. All patients underwent coronary angiography and were divided into coronary angiography positive (123 pts) and coronary angiography negative (126 pts) groups. The quality of nasal breathing was not considered in this study, but morphological aspects of the nasal septum (nasal septal deformities) were observed by anterior native rhinoscopy and endoscopic examination of the nose following the application of superficial anaesthesia. Mladina clas- sification of nasal septal deformities was used. Results: there was a statistically significant difference between coronary angiography negative and positive patients in Mladina type 1 to Mladina type 7 groups (p=0.000, Χ =54.605). The incidence of nasal SD types 5 and 6 was higher in the group of ACS patients with the positive coronary angiography, whereas general distribution of the particular types of nasal septal deformities as they appear in the general population was found in the coronary angiography negative group. Conclusion: the fact that types 5 and 6 are inherited deformities and not related to trauma against the nose suggests the possible genetic predisposition for the onset of ACS with positive coronary angiography.


The AEO RC ADH300 L is a very nice small but powerful outrunner that is narrow enough to fit in small glider noses. It is excellent for electrifying most of the F3-RES models we sell.
It can be pushed to about 170W on 3S LiPo batteries or 120W in 2S LiPos.
Note the manufacturer label the motor ADS300L-1100 but we are sure the Kv is 1280 RPM/V not 1100 RPM/V as printed.
Note the Vitaprop 9x6 blades are too big for this motor on a 3S LiPo battery. Do not use them.
We're pleased you would like to review ADH300L Front Mount Brushless Motor.
Fantastic fast shipping , and the motor is excellent!!! All the way! Thank you!
Bought this for an own design glider that used Hyperflight's Sapphire pod and boom.
It arrived in good time, and I was surprised how small and light it was. You never get a feel for these things even though the photos and specs give you the info!
Fitted without fuss and with the offset spinner and carbon 11 x 6 blades it really looked the part.
I had problems when using a Castle Creations ESC. It would not start consistently and would rattle / stop at anything above idle. This ESC did not offer any timing options, so I swapped for an EnErG and this sorted the problem. With the 11 x 6 it pulls around 95 - 100W on a 2S LiPo and pulls my little 1.5M span 440 gram glider up at around 70 degrees.
Only had three flights so far - hence only 4* at the moment - but so far very happy with performance and quality.
I bought one of these to go in a Horesji Geronimo - turns out it was a bit underpowered with a 3S battery and a 9x6 prop but it worked OK. But after about 5 flights (maybe 10 minutes running time) it failed, with one lead now open circuit.
I reckon this is unrelated, but while inspecting the motor I also found that the spacing between rotor and stator varies from about 0.6 mm down to about 0.2 mm - a less serious version of David Still's fouling.
I have not run them even less mounted them but they have strong magnets, much stronger than normally found in a motor of this size and they appear better made than some. We will see how they go when I have them in a plane.
Purchased an E RES Dart, and this motor. Looking forward to flying. The kit is very ingenious but the fun is translating the german building instructions as the english translation available is little better than Google Translate. Having said that, I have found Hyperflight service exceptional, speedy and friendly. Thankyou.
I ordered one of these with a RES olution kit after installing it I couldn't get it to work it just jittered the odd time it did go it sounded very rough and on inspection the bell housing doesn't appear to be on straight, I emailed but heard nothing back so ordered a second witch runs fine with no issues so far.The first will be sent back for a refund.
Customer now contacted. Refund offered.

Execution of Gays in Iraq, Legalized Rape in Afghanistan
This morning I heard the news that the installed president of Afghanistan is backing a law that would legalize rape and confine Afghan women to their homes unless accompanied by a man. Women leaders in parliament are calling it "worse than the Taliban.
Meanwhile, in Iraq, many of the 128 people awaiting state murder are believed to be "guilty" of homosexuality. These two offenses to equality and justice are not only tragic, they also demonstrate the emptiness of Obama's rhetoric about "an Iraqi government that is just, representative, and accountable."
In the lead up to the United States' bombing and invasion of Afghanistan more than seven years ago – and then its sequel in Iraq a year and a half later – propaganda outlets went into overdrive concocting a range of justifications for the carnage. Having inherited the fiction of "humanitarian intervention" from their predecessors in the Clinton administration, Bush & co sold the engagements of the "War on Terror" as also a war of deliverance for the women of Afghanistan. Unfortunately, some liberal organizations bought the line of feminism delivered on the tips of Tomahawk Cruise Missiles.
It's telling that, because the war machine can't openly state its aims of securing political domination, resources, and markets, it has to appeal to a defense of human dignity and solidarity. But those things can only be won by the efforts of independent organizations fighting for the rights of women, youth, LGBT people, and national minorities in those countries. The very fact that these "humanitarian" justifications are surfaced and buried according to their utility as a pacifier against anti-war sentiment tells us that they are not the real goals.
Intervention in Afghanistan, strategically questionable as it is, has been a particularly schizophrenic episode for US imperialism as attention to shifts. There won't be a victory. Every day, your war machines lose ground to a bunch of poorly-armed, poorly-equipped freedom fighters! The fact is that you've underestimated your competition. If you'd studied your history, you'd know that these people have never given up to anyone. They'd rather die than be slaves to an invading army. You can't defeat a people like that. We tried. We already had our Vietnam! Now, you're gonna have yours.
Is this Sean Penn speaking at an anti-war rally? Nope. It's a line from the classic piece of 1980s cinema Rambo III, in which anticommunist Vietnam vet John Rambo teams up with the future Taliban to run around the mountains of Afghanistan blowing up Soviet helicopters (the line is delivered to a commie bad guy who has captured one of Rambo's buddies.) Yesterday's "freedom fighters" become today's enemies, become tomorrow's allies…
A friend of mine who was active in GI resistance during the Vietnam War told me once that a key argument he used with his fellow soldiers in encouraging their resistance was: "How can we, who are trapped in one of the most undemocratic institutions in the world, be fighting for democracy on the other side of the world?"
Today we might say, how could we expect the US military, in which women are more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire in Iraq, to play any progressive role for the women of Afghanistan?

I remember when I visited Palestine in 1999 I was surprised to be told that the Palestinian legislative body (Palestinian National Congress) had a higher proportion of women than the US Congress.
It just goes to show how perverted it is to claim that the US (and the rest of the western world) is bringing liberation to the women of the countries it invades.
Here's a link to another article on the topic. It also links to a letter you can sign that will be sent to representatives in Congress.
