Available for download, the Slate Digital FG-116 Blue emulates two famed, vintage FET compressors. Both modules model 1176-style leveling amplifiers, specifically the Blue series of these renowned dynamic processors. Both are suitable for bass guitar, percussion, vocals, guitars, and more.
You'll find the usual 76 controls: input and output knobs as well as attack and release parameters. For each compressor, you can select among four ratios: 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, and 20:1. There is no threshold parameter. Note that the popular all-buttons-in sound is not available in these emulations. For that sound, Slate fashioned a different, dedicated emulation.
These compressors boast distinguishing features not found in comparable plug-ins or even in the original hardware. A mix knob is on hand to dial-in dry, uncompressed signal into the mix. This simplifies the process of parallel compression, as you no longer need to route a snare to a dedicated auxiliary channel to achieve parallel processing. You'll also note the high-pass sidechain detector, quite handy if you don't want the low-end of a signal to trigger the compression.
Each compressor has two individual circuits that model entirely different circuit paths. Essentially, the FG-116 is really four compressors in two distinct modules: the FG-116 Blue Modern and the FG-116 Blue Vintage. Both modules operate within the VMR (Virtual Mix Rack) plug-in. When you want to use these compressors within your DAW, simply instantiate the VMR plug-in, and you'll be able to access them within the GUI.
The Slate FG-116 Blue Series is Mac and Windows compatible. Each compressor can operate in VST, AU, and AAX formats. An iLok 2 or 3 is required to run the compressors.
Note: You must have an iLok 2 or iLok 3 to operate this product. iLok is available separately.
Circuit 1 has the classic mid-forward character that made the blue-striped FET compressors so famous. It adds coloration to the upper midrange, providing presence to vocals, bass, drums, and guitars. It has a softer top and bottom end compared to the Black 116 and more articulate transients due to the harmonic distortion in the midrange.
Circuit 2 is modeled after a real-world unit that had been updated and refurbished and had its own distinct, musical sound. This model reproduces deeper lows and smoother mids/highs when compared to Circuit 1. It works well on drum-room mics as well as vocals that require more heft and less of a midrange push.
In this model, the response is particularly suitable for close-miked drums, bass, and anything else whose transients you wish to preserve.
This circuit sports a breathable, yet punchy low-end, as well as a smooth top-end response. As such, it works well when used on instrument submixes.

Last Updated on September 2, 2021 by Dan Leoyee
Enjoy spending free time watching movies and TV?
How did you watch Avengers: Infinity War?
TV shows and movies are the best ways of spending free time. When you can watch those shows and movies on your handheld device, it gets even more exciting. Many Android apps are available that will allow you to watch TV shows and the latest movies online.
When it comes to watching TV Shows and Movies online, Showbox App is the most popular medium. In fact, 7 out of 10 people recommend Showbox App for free TV Shows and Movies. Showbox App offers a unique and easy way to watch TV Shows and Movies online.
However, there aren't a few people that don't look for alternatives. Showbox is great, but there are numerous Showbox Alternatives available that are even better than Showbox. Showbox alternative apps deliver a better experience to users.
Why Do You Need Apps Similar To Showbox?
Showbox App is extremely popular! But, for the last couple of days, Showbox started malfunctioning. Whenever I try to watch movies and TV shows through this app, the app loads for quite some time but doesn't play movies or TV shows.
I don't know whether it is just me or anybody else who faced this. But, I have tried to sort out this issue with my Internet connection. So, I tried to play a YouTube video with Showbox. And, a video played fine without buffering.
So, it was clear that the Showbox App has some issues with the server. The main reason for this could be the fact that the app is quite popular. Since you have come to this page, you too may be facing the same issue and looking for an alternative.
If you are looking for an alternative, then you have come to the right place. No, this article is not written to malign Showbox App. The app has plenty of good features that contributed to its useful features. However, you may be looking for another app for change. Or, you may be looking for a better one.
For this reason, I decided to write this article. I wanted to let people know there are apps available to make your movie-watching experience more enjoyable.
So, let's discover the "Apps like Showbox".
Showbox Alternatives – Apps Like Showbox
1. Playbox HD App – Best Alternative To Showbox
The Playbox HD App is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. It allows you to stream and play movies and TV shows on your handheld devices. The Playbox HD App covers a wide range of TV shows and Movies sorted into different categories. These TV shows are viewable in HD format.

Moreover, you can download videos for offline viewing. People who don't have a stable Internet connection will definitely benefit from offline viewing.
Just because the app is named HD app, doesn't mean there are no low-quality videos. People with lower bandwidth can watch low-quality videos.
Main Features Of The Playbox HD App
1. Compatible Versions: Android and iOS
2. Absolutely free of cost
3. No premium version to tempt you with features
4. Superb HD quality videos

MegaBox HD has everything that a movie lover could ask for. As the name suggests, the app allows you to stream TV shows and movies in excellent quality. What makes the app so different from other apps is its lightweight size.
MegaBox is roughly 2MB in size and definitely works significantly better than Showbox. The app requires a supplementary video player. Therefore, you have to install MV CastPlayer, which is also lightweight (4MB).
The ads are a problem for many Android users. Ads too with MegaBox will annoy you. But, you can skip them. The only gripe I have about MegaBox is its lack of video viewing options. The app has only 720p video quality available.
The user interface of this app is quite extraordinary! In the user menu, you can switch between the TV Show section and Movies. Like Crackle, MegaBox also allows you to pick your favorites. MegaBox App has a download section for offline viewing.

Movie Box supports only two languages. The two languages are English and Russian. Therefore, understanding the app may be a bit of an issue. The annoying part of the app is that you have to watch a trailer once you have begun to stream content.
Main Features Of Movie Box
1. Movie Box features the newest lineup of movies
2. Features very simple to use tools

7. Sky HD
Well, many people tend to confuse this app with the British TV channel. However, Sky HD in this context is a Showbox alternative. Sky HD considerably delivers better quality movies and TV shows than most applications listed here.
Sky HD doesn't come free. It comes with a price tag. Most streamers may not be willing to pay for streaming, as plenty of services out there offer free services.
Main Features Of Sky HD

TubiTV is popular because it has the shortest length of advertisements in it. TubiTV has all the features required for a free online streaming application. Various categorizations, constant upgrading of the system make the app quite convenient.
Another one is You TV Player which I reviewed and wrote a guide here about how to use on PC and Mac.
Movies and TV shows have always been significant sources of entertainment for anyone. Since people are becoming incredibly hooked to mobile devices, apps for movies and TV shows are becoming popular.

Start your morning off with a cup of coffee at Valley Steam's "it" place, Sip This. In addition to an assortment of coffees, they have flavored smoothies, breakfast pastries, and now delicious waffles sure to fill and please your tummy. Mine was pleased just yesterday. Waffles serviced 9a – 9p, themed nights, and weekly comedy. 64 Rockaway Avenue.
Stop by Magic Bagels for one of the softest and yummiest bagels in town. The line may look long, but it goes super fast and the service is pleasant. Take cash because your credit is no good here. 194 W. Merrick Road.
This Valley Stream spot recently had a makeover a few years back but the food didn't change. This family friendly environment is fun, has a few TVs that are always on. Don't be afraid to ask to have it turned to Nick Jr. or something for the kiddies to keep them quiet if they get bored. The food is yummy and I always order either the egg white omelette with feta cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms, and cheese or I go IN with the pancakes, scrambled eggs with cheese, and hash browns. But this is also why I need to hit the gym. No parking lot of its own, but street parking is free on Sundays. Delivery available after 11 a.m. 191 Rockaway Avenue.
Have a favorite breakfast spot? List it below.
Thats good to know. Valet and takeout plus preordering is the way to go. Thanks for the info.
IHOP offers valet parking and takeout so you can actually enjoy the IHOP food at home. Call and order and its ready by the time you get there. My son loves the cinnastack (think Cinnabon) pancakes so I usually take out from there as a treat for him. Mitchell's and Valbrook are great breakfast spots too. Great suggestions.

Similar to learning about a new topic or becoming familiar with an activity, getting involved in philanthropy can without a doubt be a daunting task. Pushing certain limitations in order for you to be a driving force in local, domestic, international philanthropy takes a great deal of time and consistency. Surrounding yourself with others that strive for the same level of success is hyper important. It may be helpful to follow the below tips to guide you in navigating this process.
Making the effort to engage with people or groups that challenge the way you approach philanthropy is one of the fundamental keys to succeed. There is no place for complacency when it comes to changing people's lives. Whether it is feeding the hungry in underprivileged areas in cities across the U.S. or participating in a service project in Ethiopia, taking opportunities that bring you out of your comfort zone is ideal.
Committing to improving how you can make a more interesting fundraiser for your org or researching effective social media tactics for your next Twitter campaign is vital for keeping everything rolling digitally.
Find a way to create more meaning for a certain charity event or adding a new layer to your company's mission will help you excel in various areas, instead of just focusing on macro-level changes internally. Regularly working on the project at hand in different ways is ideal for any individual or group for meeting a deliverable.
Having a group around that you can work with and support emotionally is an awesome way to increase motivation on a day to day level. Reciprocating emotional support with people who shown interest in helping you excel is beneficial for all parties involved. Remember that increasing philanthropic involvement takes constant work, so please don't get discouraged if it takes longer to meet your goals.


Center for Collaborative Planning staff believe communities hold the answers to their unique challenges and we are committed to working with individuals and groups to uncover these solutions. We are responsive to requests and available to provide tailored support as well as training. We are flexible and affordable and will work with you to create lasting change.

Gene therapy for placental insufficiency moves toward the clinic
Adiantku December 16, 2020 2 min read
Credit: Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers New Rochelle, NY, December 15, 2020–A new study identified...
New Rochelle, NY, December 15, 2020–A new study identified an adenovirus gene therapy vector carrying a VEGF isoform. It can improve uterine blood flow in placental insufficiency, as reported in the peer-reviewed journal Human Gene Therapy. Click here to read the full-text article free on the Human Gene Therapy website through January 15, 2021.
Reduced uterine blood flow and lack of bioavailable VEGF due to placental insufficiency is a major cause of severe fetal growth restriction (FGR). This is untreatable and causes serious neonatal morbidity and death.
Anna David, UCL Institute for Women's Health, and colleagues tested different VEGF isoforms on endothelial cells from four species, including from human umbilical vein. The results support the use of the best performing VEGF isoform "in a human clinical trial for FGR caused by placental insufficiency."
"The placenta is one of the most critical and uniquely physiologically adapted structures in human anatomy. The work by Dr. David and her group moves forward an important new gene therapy approach to restoring the vascular integrity of the placenta when it is impaired and thereby protecting fetal health," according to Editor-in-Chief of Human Gene Therapy Terence R. Flotte, MD, Celia and Isaac Haidak Professor of Medical Education and Dean, Provost, and Executive Deputy Chancellor, University of Massachusetts Medical School.
Human Gene Therapy, the Official Journal of the European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy and eight other international gene therapy societies, was the first peer-reviewed journal in the field and provides all-inclusive access to the critical pillars of human gene therapy: research, methods, and clinical applications. The Journal is led by Editor-in-Chief Terence R. Flotte, MD, Celia and Isaac Haidak Professor of Medical Education and Dean, Provost, and Executive Deputy Chancellor, University of Massachusetts Medical School, and an esteemed international editorial board. Human Gene Therapy is available in print and online. Complete tables of contents and a sample issue are available on the Human Gene Therapy website.
Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers is known for establishing authoritative peer-reviewed journals in many promising areas of science and biomedical research. Its biotechnology trade magazine, GEN (Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News), was the first in its field and is today the industry's most widely read publication worldwide. A complete list of the firm's 90 journals, books, and newsmagazines is available on the Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers website.

Access to public records and government meetings is a fundamental right that Floridians treasure so much they wrote it into the state's constitution. Yet every year, those rights to Sunshine come under attack. This year, sadly, is no different.
Florida First Amendment Foundation President Barbara Petersen puts it this way: "There is some good stuff, but the bad stuff is really horrendous."
Yesterday, we laid out "the good stuff," including bills that would keep officials from sneaking items onto meeting agendas at the last minute, and prevent governmental agencies from suing people for making public records requests. These should pass.
But it's easy to see why Petersen is worried about the Sunshine-blocking bills. This year's batch includes bills that could obscure the public's understanding of mass tragedies and violent crime, as well as bills that punch holes in public records that are relied upon by businesses and government watchdogs. Many of them are vague, unpredictable and subjective — three qualities that, under Florida's constitution, should doom them.

Cordant gets on track for Carillion Rail deal
Open-access content Monday 20th June 2016 — updated 2.38pm, Tuesday 5th May 2020
20 June 2016 | Herpreet Kaur Grewal
Cordant Services has been awarded preferred supplier status by Carillion Rail.
The new agreement will see Cordant provide bespoke security solutions across various Crossrail sites to ensure that all Carillion equipment is fully secured and monitored.
This involves supplying manned guarding at various stations and the implementation of security technology across these sites.
Existing security staff based on Carillion Rail sites will be offered the chance to transfer to Cordiant Security in line with TUPE Regulations 2006 legislation.
Mike McCann at Carillion Rail said: "The Crossrail project is one of the most important upgrades to the UK's rail infrastructure. As the principal contractor, we are responsible for the high value core supplies being moved through the various sites with a large number of contractors on location delivering the service. This means that the need for a security partner is key for both the protection and welfare of the contractors, and the protection and access management of the core supplies."
Paul Smith, director at Cordant Technology, said the firm would deliver a "security solution for Carillion Rail with a combination of people and technology designed to reduce theft and ensure that all Crossrail assets are fully secured".

Inmarsat launches telemetry and satellite communications solution for rail industry
Updated Thursday, 7 May, 2020 by spaceref.com
Inmarsat, the world leader in global, mobile satellite communications, has launched a comprehensive new Rail Telemetry and Communications Solution for the global rail industry. The solution provides real-time data transfer and push-to-talk (PTT) communications for rail operators working in remote areas across the globe, connecting drivers and railway staff to drive operational efficiencies and improve the overall safety of the railway. This builds on Inmarsat's existing industry-leading work with the rail sector.
Railways are more critical than ever in supporting the global movement of goods in remote areas. However; there are many challenges facing today's railway operators, including optimising network capacity, carrying out vital maintenance work, improving health and safety and minimising the impact of adverse weather conditions. These are exacerbated in large regions where sections of the railway pass through black spots - areas of minimal or zero cellular network coverage. As trains travel through these areas, railway staff are unable to communicate, or send and receive any data from trains to the control centre, leading to inefficiencies and potentially safety concerns.
Inmarsat's Rail Telemetry and Communications Solution leverages its Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN), which offers industry-leading reliability of up to 99.9% uptime. Low form factor satellite terminals, such as the new Cobham EXPLORER 323, are mounted on locomotives providing real-time GPS, telemetry and PTT capabilities anywhere in the world. This means control centres can efficiently and safely monitor and schedule the movement of locomotives, rolling stock and goods across an entire rail network, while enabling communications with crew wherever they are located.
Steven Tompkins, Director of Sector Development at Inmarsat, commented: "Inmarsat's new Rail Telemetry and Communications Solution builds on projects with leading rail operators in Latin America and development work with our hardware and service provider partners. We are confident the solution provides the most reliable data and communications service for train companies, and will lead to a paradigm shift in the safety and efficiency of remote rail operations."
An important feature of the solution is the integration with existing equipment on board. The Cobham PRISM PTT+ solution integrates easily into the locomotive's existing radio, so the rail operator doesn't have to get rid of their existing trusted equipment. PRISM PTT+, a service powered by Cobham SATCOM's innovative PRISM (Private Routing & Intelligent System Management) technology enables the BGAN PTT Solution to switch between connectivity types such as UHF or VHF, 3G/4G and satellite making the solution cost-effective and easy to use. The switching process is unique in the market because it is completely seamless and offers an economical approach to voice communications.
"As well as being relied on to transfer critical data in real-time, Inmarsat's Rail Telemetry and Communications Solution is unique in providing a PTT voice communication feature that can switch between connectivity types seamlessly, without any lag in reconnection," continued Tompkins. "This provides operators complete confidence that data will always be transferred, the latest technology on board will stay operational and voice communications with drivers and crew can be maintained wherever the train is located."
Henrik Nørrelykke, Vice President, Global Sales & Marketing, Cobham, said "Cobham SATCOM is excited to work with Inmarsat to launch the new Rail Telemetry and Communications Solution. Utilising the Cobham EXPLORER Mobile Gateway, the PRISM PTT+ solution enables easy integration into any existing radio equipment, making it simple for organisations across a range of industries to upgrade their trusted 2-way radio capabilities."

Q: Setup DNS server and use it as a domain, within a LAN connection only. (Offline DNS) I wanted to change my ipv4 address (172.50.10.1) into somewhat like www.jamesrin.com when the clients within the LAN access my server on their respective browsers.
I've searched the browser. According to them, I can just change the hosts file of each of the client within the LAN for then to access my server, with this method. It just works fine.
But that's not what I want. What I want is for clients within the LAN to access my server without changing each clients hosts file using the example above, www.jamesrin.com.
Actually, im really stuck on where to begin with. Do I need to setup DNS server? Btw. I just want it offline mode. within the LAN only.
Do you have any ideas, suggestions? or somewhat tutorial regarding my problem. It would be much appreciated! Thank you!

A: First so all, I strongly discourage you to use a "real" domain (like www.jamesrin.com) for that, even if your LAN is not connected to the internet. I would rather recommend using a domain like www.jamesrin.lan or www.jamesrin.test which is no valid TLD. (But do not use .local, that's reserved for mDNS).
So if you don't want to edit the hosts file of each client, you either could set up a DNS server or use mDNS. Whenever a .local domain is needed to be resolved using mDNS, a request is sent to any computer in your local network. And one computer replies to this with his IP.
If Avahi (a Zeroconf/mDNS implementation) is set on your clients (this is usually the case) you can just use a domain like hostname.local. If you query this domain, a request is sent using a broadcast and the computer with the hostname hostname responds with his IP. So just try changing the server's hostname to jamesrin and check whether you can reach jamesrin.local (without www.) from another computer.
The other option would be to set up a DNS server in your network. Usually there's a DNS server running on your router - maybe you can use that if you can manually add DNS records (or edit the router's hostfile). (But it isn't clear in your question whether you got a router as you write "offline").
Else you need to set up a DNS server on a computer. I would recommend having a look at this answer on SuperUser.

Russell Charles Kick III (July 20, 1969September 12, 2021) was an American writer, editor, and publisher.

Russell Charles Kick III was born on July 20, 1969, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Early in his career, Kick wrote articles, a column, and a cover story for The Village Voice. He was the founder and editor of The Memory Hole, Memory Hole 2, and Altgov2, which published and archived U.S. government documents, including scientific studies, documents received under FOIA and civil rights-related reports, intelligence and covert action reports, consumer safety reports, and images including photographs of flag-draped coffins of American military personnel. These photographs of the war dead garnered worldwide media attention, including heavy rotation on all 24-hour news channels and front-page coverage on major newspapers, including The New York Times. The Memory Hole also gained attention for posting a completely uncensored version of a Justice Department report about its internal hiring practices, leading to a front-page story in The New York Times.

Kick was editor-at-large for The Disinformation Company and he wrote three books and edited six anthologies, including You Are Being Lied To and 50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know. He also edited an anthology of classic and contemporary poems about death for Disinformation and Red Wheel/Weiser.

He compiled and edited a three-volume, 1,600-page anthology set entitled The Graphic Canon from Seven Stories Press. The series features the world's great literature interpreted by more than 120 artists and illustrators such as R. Crumb, Maxon Crumb, Will Eisner, Molly Crabapple, Sharon Rudahl, Dame Darcy, S. Clay Wilson, Gris Grimly, Roberta Gregory, Kim Deitch, and Tara Seibel.
 The first volume, From The Epic of Gilgamesh to Shakespeare to Dangerous Liaisons (spring 2012), covers literature from ancient times through the end of the eighteenth century. The second volume, Kubla Khan to the Brontë Sisters to The Picture of Dorian Gray (fall 2012), is devoted completely to the nineteenth century. The third volume, From Heart of Darkness to Hemingway to Infinite Jest (spring 2013), covers the entire twentieth century.

The next volume in the continuing project, The Graphic Canon of Children's Literature, was published in November 2014. The last volume completed in the series, Graphic Canon of Crime and Mystery was published in November 2017 by Seven Stories Press. It expanded the Graphic Canon series into the genres of crime and mystery.

From 2018 to 2021, he was the director of open records for Rise for the Animals where he expanded the ARLO (Animal Research Laboratory Overview) database  to include information obtained through FOIA and public records requests related to animal experimentation and animal welfare at a variety of research facilities.

At the age of 52, Kick died on September 12, 2021, in Tucson, Arizona.

The Last Bathing Beauty
Hope is Always in Season...
Everything seemed possible in the summer of 1951. Back then, Betty "Boop" Stern was an eighteen-year-old knockout working at her grandparents' resort. The "Catskills of the Midwest" was the perfect place for Betty to prepare for bigger things. She'd head to college in New York City. Her career as a fashion editor would flourish. On the precipice of a well-planned life, Betty's future was limitless. She'd enjoy this wondrous last summer at the resort falling deeply in love with an irresistible college boy, and competing in the annual Miss South Haven pageant.
Decades later, the choices of that long-ago season still reverberate for Betty, now known as Boop. Especially when her granddaughter comes to her with a dilemma. It echoes Boop's own past of first love, broken hearts, and faraway dreams. It's time to finally face the past–for the sake of her family and her own happiness. Maybe, in reconciling the life she once imagined with the life she lived, she'll discover it's never too late for a second chance.

The Good Neighbor
When Small Lies Have Big Consequences…
Things are a little rough for Izzy Lane. Still reeling from the break-up of her marriage, the newly single mom moves back to the Philadelphia home she grew up five-year-old Noah in tow. The transition is difficult, but with the help of her best friends—and her elderly neighbor, Mrs. Feldman—Izzy feels like she's stepping closer to her new normal. Until her ex-husband shows up with his girlfriend. That's when Izzy invents a boyfriend of her own. And that's when life gets complicated.
Blogging about her "new guy" provides Izzy with something to do when Noah's asleep. What's the harm in a few made-up stories? Then, her blog soars in popularity and she's given the opportunity to moonlight as an online dating expert. How can she turn it down? But when her friends want to meet the mysterious "Mac," someone online suspects Izzy's a fraud, and a guy in-real-life catches her eye, Izzy realizes just how high the stakes are. That's when Mrs. Feldman steps in, determined to show her neighbor the havoc that lies can wreak. If Izzy's honest, she could lose everything, and everyone. Is the truth worth any cost?

Left to Chance
Nothing in Life is Set in Stone...
From the author of The Good Neighbor and The Glass Wives comes an enchanting story of returning home and discovering what truly matters after loss.
No one knows why Teddi Lerner left her hometown, but everyone knows why she's back.
Twelve-year-old Shayna— talented, persistent, and adorable—persuaded "Aunt Tee" to return to Chance, Ohio, to photograph her father's wedding. Even though it's been six years since Shay's mother, Celia, died, Teddi can hardly bear the thought of her best friend's husband marrying someone else. But Teddi's bond with Shay is stronger than the hurt.
Teddi knows it's time to face the consequences of her hasty retreat from family, friends, and, her old flame, but when she looks through her viewfinder, nothing in her small town looks the same. That's when she truly sees the hurt she's caused and—maybe—how to fix it.
After the man she once loved accuses Teddi of forgetting Celia, Teddi finally admits why she ran away, and the guilt she's carried with her. As Teddi relinquishes the distance that kept her safe, she'll discover surprising truths about the people she left behind, and herself. And she'll finally see what she overlooked all along.

Evie and Nicole Glass share a last name. They also shared a husband...
When a tragic car accident ends the life of Richard Glass, it also upends the lives of Evie and Nicole, and their children. There's no love lost between the widow and the ex. In fact, Evie sees a silver lining in all this heartache—the chance to rid herself of Nicole once and for all.
But Evie wasn't counting on her children's bond with their baby half-brother, and she wasn't counting on Nicole's desperate need to hang on to the threads of family, no matter how frayed.
Strapped for cash, Evie cautiously agrees to share living expenses—and her home—with Nicole and the baby. But when Evie suspects that Nicole is determined to rearrange more than her kitchen, Evie must decide who she can trust. More than that, she must ask: what makes a family?

The Wild Conundrum 2/13/2012
By Guest Todd Varga,
February 13, 2012 in Minnesota Wild
Todd Varga
It's been a rough week for the Minnesota Wild. The past week has seen the boys in green lose two games to the last place Columbus Blue Jackets, and a game to the division leading Vancouver Canucks. For a team that is desperate for wins, this was not a good week. Not only were the results bad, but for two of those three games, the Wild played fairly uninspired hockey in two of those games. It was so bad to the point that Mike Yeo vented his frustration to the media after Thursday's game against Vancouver (I covered this in a previous blog "Wild Musings-Judgment Day"). While the effort was there on Saturday, the results were still the same. The Wild have scored only six goals in their last five games, and are about to run into another rough patch in their schedule, approaching games against the Blues, Bruins, Panthers, Stars (in Dallas-where the Wild have not won a game since 2003), Sharks, and Kings. If the Wild are going to make the playoffs, they are going to have to beat teams that will be in the playoffs, and be serious contenders in the Playoffs.
All of this brings us to the Wild conundrum. The Wild will play the Sharks on February 26. If the results don't change over the next week, the Wild team that plays in that game could look very different than it will tomorrow against the Ducks.
The schedule may actually set up the Wild perfectly to either solidify their role as buyers or sellers. If they can defeat these teams, they will gain points in the standings, and hopefully the confidence they will need to push forward. Should the Wild continue their slide, they could easily become sellers mid next week. Looking at the schedule, and how the Wild have been playing lately, I'm finding myself (admittedly an optimist by nature) having to convince myself that they can make it happen. Losing to Columbus was bad. Losing to Columbus twice was very sad. But the game that hit me the hardest was the Vancouver. Vancouver really has an embarrassment of riches. They have all stars on every line, they play good defense, and they have two very good goaltenders (most of the time). The Wild don't have the talent that Vancouver does. It was evident in that game. This isn't news to me or anyone else, I just never saw it illustrated as much as I have in that game (That's not to say the Wild can't beat the Canucks, they can, they just aren't going to do it on raw talent… and probably not consistently - or in say… a seven game playoff series). With that said, the Wild are going to be even more shorthanded as Cal Clutterbuck is now officially day-to-day after Saturday's game with Columbus, and Clayton Stoner's return from IR not looking as immanent as once thought.
That means more of what we have to expect this season from the Wild… Call ups from Houston.
Marco Scandella and Kris Foucault have been recalled from Houston.
Scandella has played 37 games for the Wild this season, and has 3 goals, 3 assists, and is a -10 on the year. Foucault will be making his NHL debut, and will wear #72 for the Wild. I'm glad to see Scandella back. He is going to be a big part of the Minnesota blue line for the next several years, and I'm anxious to see if he was able to refine his game at all in Houston. He should also help in putting up shots from the defense, which is something Mike Yeo has been asking for more of.
I Hope everyone has a good week.
Thanks for reading- I appreciate all the comments, questions, and feedback, and am really enjoying talking hockey with everyone.

I see the Wild as sellers. As a Wings fan I would love to see a Harding swap, he killed us this year and with Hacket coming along he has value. Kindl or a draft pick, possibly a young forward like Andersson would be a nice move for both.
@Todd Varga
Calling up Scandella means the Wild are playing with 8 healthy d-men not including the injured Stoner. This has a TRADE-coming all over it.
I wouldn't be surprised if Zanon or Zidlicky could be wearing the O and B soon. Especially when both of these players have a history with Timonen in Nashville.
@yave1964
I really think that is a possibiity. I can't see the Wild holding on to Harding. Hackett is ready, and they are organizationaly stacked at the goalie position, so it makes no sense to hold on to Harding. The Wings woud be a great fit for Harding, along with a few other teams.
@hf101
I agree. I'll be shocked if one, even both, are not moved. Lots of teams out there want D-men, especially an offensive minded, puck moving D-man like Zidlicky (alledgedly). Zanon has been good, but he's not the top 2-4 D-man that the Wild need. I would trade them both and look at one of the top D-Men on Juy 1st.
Podein25
Not sure about Zanon talk - slow as molasses and not a great puck mover generally (we already have Lilja). But, second in Blocked Shots (average) and with our goaltending we need all the blocked shots we can get.


A new bill proposed by a senator who sees the potential for tracking humans to come to fruition — would make mandatory microchipping of humans a Class C felony.
Nevada State Senator Becky Harris believes Senate Bill 109 could be a pre-emptive measure against the worldwide push to implant humans with microchips — and the inspiration for the bill came from one of her constituents.
"As I began to look into the issue I was surprised with the merit that I believe the issue warrants," Harris told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday.
Many reflexively balk at the idea of having a glass tube-enclosed chip roughly the size of two grains of rice injected under the skin, but businesses overseas — specifically in Belgium and Sweden — have already begun implanting employees with RFIDs.
"It's done under the idea to unlock doors or use copy machines or maybe pay for lunch, you could use your hand," Harris explained.
Or, at least, that's the premise for microchipping at the moment.
Microchips are already commonplace in the United States, to track pets, goods, and — perhaps more controversially — people with Alzheimer's disease or late-stage dementia.
"Sean Sullivan, Washoe County deputy public defender, said the bill may also prohibit radiologists from using tattoos as permanent identifiers of where on patients to aim treatment.
Injecting a tiny chip containing personal information under one's skin has long been the subject of dystopian nightmares, as fears some fascist despot could rise to power and exhort total control over the citizenry.
Indeed, because the technology is still developing and could be far advanced by the time any government would seek to make microchips mandatory, legal safeguards couldn't come soon enough.
Senate Bill 109 leaves the option for chip implants up to individuals and removes it from the hands of nosy employers and the State — that is, unless the person injecting the chip doesn't mind being slapped with a felony.
Microchips were first approved for human implantation 13 years ago, but have sparked furious debate over the potential for misuse or abuse — whether unintentional or malicious.
According to the Review-Journal, virtually no opposition to the legislation was voiced in committee, but no further action has been taken on the bill.
That precautionary legislation has to be introduced to prevent a potentially unprecedented invasion of personal autonomy speaks to both advancements in technology and the human penchant to rush to use it without first considering long-term implications.

What do Bill Gross, Italy, and the ECB Have in Common?
We've written on more than one occasion about how important it is to be cautious and conservative in today's uncertain investment environment.
The recent interplay between Bill Gross, the Italian Government, and the European Central Bank illustrates how extremely difficult it is to invest in markets that are increasingly manipulated.
Just recently formed, the political party consists of the right-wing League and a coalition of Euroskeptics, or anti-EU politicians. According to CBC News, this is Western Europe's first anti-establishment (read: anti-European Union) government which promises to return control of Italy to the country itself rather than unelected technocrats in Belgium.
This populism naturally raises concerns that Italy will create another Brexit.
During the end of May, the new populist government was being formed in Italy. Over this same time period, the Bank of Italy and the ECB dramatically reduced their purchases of Italian bonds – relative to other bonds – to a level not seen since March 2015. The ECB didn't reduce its overall net bond purchases, only those from Italy.
This reduction in Italian bond buying resulted in sharp market moves and increasing spreads.
While the ECB is supposed to be apolitical and not intervene in markets to encourage a specific political agenda, politicians in Italy believe that the Bank did just that. Despite this Italy's new government was formed . . . and purchases of Italian bonds by the ECB returned to normal shortly thereafter.
While the Italian people presumably got what they wanted with the election of their new government, it appears that the Global Unconstrained Bond Fund run by the legendary Bill Gross (the former bond king at PIMCO) was an unintended casualty in this process.
A few weeks ago the Fund lost 3% of its net asset value. While a 3% move in either direction isn't big for stocks, it is a huge move for a conservative investment like bonds.
Interestingly, the Unconstrained Bond Fund loss of 3% wasn't due directly to the performance of Italian bonds. Instead, the gap between U.S. and German bonds increased as investors became nervous that Italy would leave the Euro Zone. This caused investors to demand a higher yield from U.S. 10-year debt to match the yield of German debt, which in turn created a loss for the Fund.

O Cruzeiro Futebol Clube é um clube social e esportivo fundado no dia 3 de setembro de 1914 no município de Cruzeiro, interior do estado de São Paulo. As suas cores são o verde e o branco. A agremiação foi ativo no futebol profissional entre os anos de 1977 e 1987, sendo campeão Paulista da Quinta Divisão (atualmente extinta), em 1978.

História

O clube surgiu após a mobilização de vários esportistas do município que lançaram a proposta de fundação de uma agremiação social e de prática do futebol. No dia 3 de setembro de 1914, uma reunião definiu a fundação da agremiação. Alguns defenderam a ideia de colocar o nome do novo clube de Bela Vista, em homenagem a uma fazenda de mesmo nome, e com cores azul e branca. Ao final, foi decidido que o clube se chamaria "Cruzeiro Foot-Ball Club" e teria as cores branca e verde. A oficialização do estatuto social aconteceu no dia 23 de setembro, com a eleição de Maurício da Rocha Sobrinho como primeiro presidente do clube.

O primeiro campo de futebol foi construído em um terreno de propriedade de Eloy de Paula, localizada na Rua Campos Salles, em 1916. Mas em 1920, o proprietário solicitou a desocupação da área pelo clube. Para resolver o problema, um dos associados do clube, Virgílio Antunes, propôs a utilização de um terreno de propriedade da família de sua esposa, Celestina Novaes, como nova sede esportiva. Diante da condição de que novos associados fossem angariados, foi construído uma nova praça esportiva, que recebeu o nome de Rosalina Novaes, mãe de Celestina. A inauguração aconteceu no dia 24 de outubro de 1920.

O campo recebeu diversas partidas das formações amadoras do Cruzeiro Futebol Clube nas décadas de 20, 30 e 40. Porém, em 1948, o local foi desapropriado pela Prefeitura de Cruzeiro. Com isso, as dificuldades para a prática do futebol aumentaram. Entretanto, as conquistas foram alcançadas. Em 1921, conquistou o título da primeira edição da Taça Cidade de Cruzeiro. A agremiação também foi uma das maiores vencedores da região. Pela Liga de Futebol Norte do Estado de São Paulo conquistou o título de 1939. Na etapa regional do Campeonato Amador do Interior, levantou o troféu em 1946 e 1950.

Em 1952, o Cruzeiro parou com a equipe de futebol, mantendo apenas as atividades da sede social. Mas em meados da década de 60, o clube reativou o futebol e participou de várias competições amadores municipais.

Profissionalismo

O Cruzeiro seguiu com as disputas em campeonatos locais nos anos seguintes, com rivalidade a outros clubes locais, como Fabriva, ligada a Fábrica Nacional de Vagões e Frigorífico Atlético Clube, que surgiu com ligação ao Frigorífico Cruzeiro. Entretanto, o encerramento do time de futebol pela primeira empresa e a desativação do segundo clube devido ao fechamento da empresa, reduziu o apelo no futebol local.

Porém, em 1975, um convite feito pelo Esporte Clube Taubaté para que a agremiação disputasse uma competição regional, o "Torneio Integração do Vale", fez surgir apoio de esportistas de outros clubes locais para que o Cruzeiro fosse o representante do município. O time cruzeirense teve uma boa participação naquele ano e em 1976.

Com boa aceitação popular, o Cruzeiro se interessou em ingressar no futebol profissional. Em 1977, o clube se filiou a Federação Paulista de Futebol e participou do Campeonato Paulista da Terceira Divisão (na época, representava o quinto nível do futebol estadual). Com atletas locais, o "Papagaio do Vale" não conseguiu classificação à Segunda Divisão.

No ano seguinte, foi montada uma equipe com vários atletas com experiência no futebol do interior paulista. Na primeira fase, fez grande campanha e terminou em primeiro lugar, com 10 vitórias, cinco empates e uma derrota. Na fase final, conseguiu sete vitórias, três empates e duas derrotas. A vitória por 2 x 1 sobre o Macêdo, no dia 10 de dezembro, garantiu o título da Terceira Divisão pela primeira vez.

Em 1979, o Cruzeiro disputou a Segunda Divisão (equivalente à Quarta Divisão) e fez ótima campanha. Na fase decisiva, terminou em terceiro lugar, atrás do Fernandópolis e do Jaboticabal.

Entretanto, voltou a disputar a Terceira Divisão Estadual em 1980. O motivo foi uma ampla reformulação realizada pela Federação Paulista nas divisões de acesso do futebol estadual após a extinção da Divisão Intermediária (atual Série A2). Mesmo com o "rebaixamento", mostrou bom desempenho e chegou a fase decisiva, mas ficou atrás do Lemense e Tanabi, sem ascender à Segunda Divisão.

Mas em 1981 o clube alcançou o objetivo e novamente foi campeão da Terceira Divisão. Em três fases, conquistou 26 vitórias, teve 13 empates e sofreu 5 derrotas. O jogo que selou a conquista aconteceu no dia 6 de dezembro, em Cruzeiro: vitória por 4 x 0 sobre o Guaçuano.

Com a conquista, garantiu a participação na principal divisão de acesso do futebol estadual em 1982. Entretanto, realizou somente participações medianas na competição, sem ter disputado efetivamente uma vaga para a elite do Campeonato Paulista. A última participação na Segundona aconteceu em 1987.

No início de 1988, o presidente Domingos Antonio Pereira Creado, recém-eleito para a função, determinou a desativação do departamento de futebol profissional para destinar o foco da administração do clube para a área social. Foi o fim da participação do Cruzeiro Futebol Clube nos gramados do futebol paulista.

Hino

O hino do Cruzeiro Futebol Clube foi idealizado por Sérgio Valério, ao ser escolhido em um concurso realizado pela Rádio Mantiqueira de Cruzeiro no dia 7 de novembro de 1985. Não há registros musicais.

Hino do Cruzeiro

O papagaio vai entrando no gramado
Arte, força, vibração
Cruzeiro do meu coração
bola para frente com muita raça
que essa taça nós vamos levar.
Bola para frente com muita raça,
que essa taça nós vamos levar.

Salve o Cruzeiro, o campeão...
Salve Cruzeiro, nosso Verdão...
Salve o Cruzeiro, onde estiver, iremos nós...
A nossa voz um coro forte da torcida que unida,
não crê em má sorte te leva a lutar.

Rivalidade

O Cruzeiro teve na sua cidade-natal um grande rival: o Frigorífico, que teve duas participações no Campeonato Paulista, em 1957 e 1958. Durante anos, este clássico disputado por dois alvi-verdes movimentou o futebol de Cruzeiro.

Outra rivalidade foi com o Aparecida, clube com o qual disputou várias partidas importantes pelas divisões de acesso do Campeonato Paulista.

Participações em Estaduais

O Cruzeiro participou de 11 edições do Campeonato Paulista em diferentes divisões:

 Segunda Divisão (atual A2) — 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986 e 1987 - 6 vezes
 Terceira Divisão (atual A3) — 1980 e 1981 - 2 vezes
 Quarta Divisão (atual Série B) — 1979 - 1 vez
 Quinta Divisão (extinta) — 1978 - 1 vez
 Seletiva para Quarta Divisão — 1977 - 1 vez

Estaduais

Reativação

Entre 2012 e 2013, representantes da Prefeitura de Cruzeiro levantaram a possibilidade de reativação do futebol profissional do Cruzeiro. Segundo o secretário de Esportes da administração municipal, Alexandre de Góes Pereira, clubes foram contactados para representar a agremiação no Campeonato Paulista de Futebol - Segunda Divisão de 2013. Entretanto, as negociações não evoluíram e a proposta não teve sucesso. E o clube até os dias de hoje encontra-se inativo.

Kinneil Estate
Kinneil House from the East
The Kinneil Estate lies immediately to the south west of Bo'ness, above the ridge that climbs steeply from the narrow plain along the shore of the River Forth. It is signposted from the A993, but is easy to overlook. The visitor approaches along the drive leading to the imposing east front of the house, and just before the large free-standing gateposts finds a junction. Turning left takes you to a parking area accessing the main parts of the estate, but first time visitors will probably want to turn right, to park in the area in front of the small stone museum.
What the museum at Kinneil lacks in size it more than makes up for in design and content. It is well worth a visit to gain an initial impression of what there is to see on the estate, plus an overview of what begins to feel like a very complicated history with a bewildering number of different components.
The Kinneil Estate is the nearest thing you are likely to find to a history theme park anywhere in Scotland: made all the more impressive because it covers two thousand years, because everything you see is real, and because it is displayed in such a low-key and matter-of-fact way. You can quite literally stumble over history at Kinneil.
The most obvious component of this is Kinneil House itself, which you saw when driving into the estate. After visiting the museum you should make your way around to the front of the house. In 1323 lands hereabout were granted by Robert I to Walter Fitzgilbert of Hamildon, the head of the family which later produced the Dukes of Hamilton. The Hamiltons always maintained their main seat in west central Scotland, but over the centuries Kinneil became their base in the east. In the 1400s they built a small tower house here in an easily defensible position overlooking a deep ravine.
In the late 1400s or early 1500s the small tower house was enlarged into a very much larger tower house. As the 1500s progressed the need for defence became less important than the need for comfort, and in 1553 James Hamilton, 2nd Earl of Arran built a palace a little way from the tower house to its north east. Then, in 1667, William, Duke of Hamilton and Duchess Anne launched a major expansion of Kinneil House that saw the tower house and palace joined together by means of one of the two decorative towers they built, flanking the original tower house. Within a century, however, the Hamiltons had ceased to use Kinneil, and rented it out to tenants. At various times these included John Roebuck, owner of the Carron Iron Works, and the philosopher Dugald Stewart, who wrote a number of his works while living here.
In 1922, Bo'ness Town Council purchased the estate. In 1936 work began on the demolition of Kinneil House. The tower house was totally gutted, but when work began to strip out the interior of the palace it was discovered that it contained the most extensive and best preserved wall and ceiling paintings in Scotland.
Demolition work was thankfully halted, and today the palace is open to the public on a number of weekends each year (see web site linked from this page for details). A visit to the house on an open day is well worthwhile, with interesting displays on three floors linked by spiral staircase: but the main glory of Kinneil House is the painted decoration of the walls and ceilings of the first floor Arbour Room and Parable Room, which date back to several different stages between 1550 and 1625. The upper floor is given over to information displays and samples of decorated wood, stone and plaster salvaged from elsewhere in the house in 1936; while the lower floor is home to a display of rare grave slabs recovered from Kinneil Church (see below) and stonework that adorned the exterior of the house until 1936.
Having viewed Kinneil House, you should walk through the gateway in the side wall at its southern end. From here you can wander round the rear of the house, or cross a bridge over a stream that leads to open parkland beyond. First, however, take a look at the roofless remains of a small cottage close to the south west corner of the house, complete with a nearby large metal cylinder. In 1769 and 1770, when John Roebuck was the tenant at Kinneil, he employed James Watt to undertake experiments to develop a more efficient steam engine capable of pumping water out of deep coal mines under the River Forth.
Watt succeeded in his quest, though only after he had left Kinneil. The experiments were kept secret by housing them in this cottage close to Kinneil House itself. Whether it was entirely wise to employ someone to develop a bigger and better steam engine only yards from where you are living is open to debate: though perhaps the fact that the old tower house has walls that are six feet thick gave Roebuck a greater sense of security!
After crossing the bridge over the stream you emerge into a broad swathe of parkland. This was once traversed by the Antonine Wall, which for 20 years was the northern boundary of the Roman Empire: but it takes a little imagination to be able to see traces of the line of the wall today. What you do find, however, on the edge of woodland off to the right of the parkland, are the scant remains of Kinneil Church. The church was originally built in the 1100s, and by the 1400s was the focus of the village of Kinneil, which occupied much of the parkland to the south of the church. The main street through the village even reused the stone base of the (otherwise turf) Antonine Wall.
During major redevelopment of Kinneil House in 1667, the village was cleared to allow a park to be established, the villagers mostly relocating to the rapidly growing town of Bo'ness a short distance away. Today, all that remains of the village and the villagers are the grave slabs around the ruin of the church (and others kept in the vault of the palace). The church itself continued to be used as a chapel by the Hamiltons until 1745, when it was accidentally burned down by troops based in it to guard Kinneil House during the Jacobite Uprising.
From the church, you should continue west for several hundred yards. Here you find that, although nothing remains of this part of the Antonine Wall, there are still traces of one of the forts that helped guard it. These are visible on the ground as humps and bumps, and original post holes have been used to place posts showing the shape of some of the elements of the fort. Meantime, the main roadway entering the fort from the north is visible on the ground following excavation.
Two thousand years of Scottish history in one short walk. A Roman fort; remains of a medieval village and church; a castle that became a grand house; a small but important fragment of the industrial revolution; and an attractive and informative museum pulling it all together. Plus woodland walks and pony trails if you want something more than mere history!
