Gooding & Co appeared to have the best 124 car catalogue and spread over two days there was ample time to get the lots sold. As previously highlighted the American outfit had consigned the fewest cars at 'No Reserve', either a sign of confidence in the lots or not as aggressive when consigning – only time would tell.
Gooding & Co split the 'No Reserve' lots across the two days and taking over the late morning / early afternoon slot from Bonhams. Day 1 produced an eye-watering on the hammer total sales of $42,896,500 with 86% of lots sold – staggering!
The difference, there is no question that the Gooding team were beavering away at the reserves straight from the off. Having seen Bonhams and RM Sothebys go before, they would have been aware that the top lots were not gaining traction. Not to mention Charlie Ross – his clarity, humour and pacing of the lots and bidding gives buyer confidence and importantly time without the auction going stale.
These factors meant that on day 1 the top 4 pre-sale estimate lots, all sold, that alone was nearly $14m on the hammer. 1 of these was a delightfully preserved 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing, although the paintwork was peeling in areas the car had real patina and a sense of history, deserved every penny of the hammer price at £1.3m some 18% over bottom end.
The top lot to go through was the 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France that hammered at £5,350,000. Direct comparison will be drawn between the 288 GTO that RM Sothebys sold at $3,050,000 and the one that Gooding sold at $2,275,000 nearly £800,000 cheaper. The big difference recorded mileage, provenance and manuals to name a few.
If you hung around until the bitter end, you could have got your hands on a 1951 MG TD. A car with 2 owners over the last 40 years and have gone through restoration in 1987 the car appeared to have been barely used. Selling at $17,000 on the hammer roughly £13k, in the words of Mr. Ross 'its half price'!
Day 2 kicked off in much the same form as day 1, with much energy and humour, Gooding made Arizona wait for the highest sale of the week. A 1963 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta, a car which appeared to not struggle to garner interest and bidders, eventually hammering away at $6,900,000 again over bottom end.
Our pick of the Ferrari's, the Prototype 1964 275 GTB was just agonisingly one bid away from selling. Although various sources are reporting that the car did not take long to sell after closing a fair result for seller and buyer.
911R's continue to see a realigning of prices, despite being a limited number production Porsche. Initially, buyers saw the opportunity to sell for a princely sum, although with the introduction of the 911 Carrera T and the GT3 Touring. Porsche has shown that it will respond to buyers looking for a quick flip – essentially Porsche made the 911R only rare in name, so the sale at $250,000 on the hammer a long way from the 2016 Bonhams Zoute sale 911R, someone paid over $450k for one.
Excluding post-sale deals, Gooding & Co will reflect on a well-conducted Arizona sale, as David Gooding exclaimed the market is alive and well. With a total just shy of $43m and a sell-through rate of 83%, given the 'No Reserve' to Reserve ratio is impressive and a good job by the team.
Oh and, whatever Charlie Ross is getting paid, double it.
The next time the team is out to play is in March on Amelia Island, we will be in attendance and keep you updated.


Spring has sprung and Citrix has released version 4.6 of WEM. You can now download the new version here (requires Platinum licenses and login to Citrix.com). I've provided the release notes below.
Workspace Environment Management 4.6 includes the following new features. For information about bug fixes, see Fixed issues.
You can now assign resources published in Citrix StoreFront stores as application shortcuts in Workspace Environment Management. This allows you to configure Start menu shortcuts which Workspace Environment Management end users can use to easily access remote store resources. Agent host machines configured to use the Transformer feature show shortcuts to Citrix StoreFront store resources inside the Applications tab. Configure the StoreFront stores that Citrix Receiver connects to using a new Advanced Settings tab. Then add store resources as applications in the Add Application dialog, which contains a redesigned General settings tab. For more information see Applications.
Transformer is now integrated with the Citrix Receiver for Windows SDK. This allows you to make StoreFront-based assigned application actions available to Transformer kiosk users, and for Citrix Receiver pass-through authentication to be used. Only published applications which users have permission to access are displayed in the Transformer kiosk Applications tab.
Note: If you have previously configured Transformer for Enable Autologon Mode and now wish to configure users for Transformer integrated with Receiver for Windows SDK, you must clear the option Enable Autologon Mode (in the "Transformer Settings > Advanced > Logon/Logoff & Power settings" tab). This allows users to log in to the Transformer client endpoint machine using their own credentials. These credentials are passed through to provide access to their assigned StoreFront-based applications.
The Active Directory Subsystem has been redesigned to improve performance and stability. Performance improvements are particularly noticeable when you add AD or OU objects, and dead forests or domains are detected in your environment.
In Advanced Settings > Configuration pane, there is a new StoreFront tab for configuring the StoreFront stores that Citrix Receiver connects to.
In Actions > Applications, the Add Application dialog General Settings tab is redesigned for adding StoreFront store resources as applications. The Advanced Settings tab Application Type option is removed.
In Active Directory Objects, there is a new Advanced pane. The AD Settings tab contains a new option Active Directory search timeout for configuring how long Active Directory searches are performed before they time out. The default value is 1000 msec. We recommend that you use a timeout value of at least 500 msec to avoid timeouts before searches complete.
The administrative templates provided to configure the agent have been renamed to make the filenames versionless. For more information see Configure the agent.

With the large volumes of syllabus laid down by schools, colleges and the various other institutions, the amount of stress often referred to as peer pressure on the students is quite high in comparison to the students of the previous generations.
Well, it is due to this extensive level of peer pressure on the students today that the number the of student suicides has gone up at an alarming rate all across the globe. This makes it all the more important for parents and teachers to ensure that they don't overburden their children or students. In addition to this, parents and teachers must ensure that they reduce the pressure on students by all means necessary, especially the night before exams.
This is not only to avoid suicidal student cases but at the same time, this also helps in boosting up the confidence of the student which in turn ensures that the students are able to perform better in his or her examinations. If you are facing any sort of problems with your essay writing assignments, don't hesitate to search for information.

Last month's column on tapestry looked at who owned tapestries and why. This month we'll be delving deeper into the making of tapestry. Did anyone do their homework and read The Lady and the Unicorn? It really does bring to life the world of tapestry weavers and their relationships with the patrons who commissioned them. I'm going to cover some of the same ground, albeit in less refined prose and with absolutely no plot, but with more pictures.
Back to the very basics: What is tapestry made of?
You'll remember that is it woven, not stitched, so there is no base cloth to work on as in embroidery. With a weave, there are warp and weft threads making up the cloth. Tapestry is unusual in the woven textile sphere in that the warps are completely hidden by the wefts, rather than showing through as part of the finished weave. A strong, smooth thread is required and in the middle ages this was often worsted, a yarn made from long, lustrous wool fibres, spun in a particular way to create a robust, fine yarn which will not stretch or become fluffy in use.
The coloured yarns, used to create the designs, are usually wool, although some of the most luxurious medieval and Tudor tapestries included silk and even gold or silver thread for details. Later tapestries were woven entirely in silk too, but usually smaller scale than the great medieval hangings.
The wool threads used to weave the tapestry were dyed in a wide range of colours and shades, but mostly only used a limited palette of dyestuffs. Variation in shades was vital to create light and shade, shaping and colour transitions, which require great weaving skills as well as the right coloured threads.
Madder: Red, pink, orange, copper, russet, coral.
The root of the madder plant (Rubia Tinctoria) is used. It was imported into England from Asia.
The woad plant, Isatis Tinctoria.is a relative of Indigo, but one which grows in Britain, so was used here until stronger imported Indigo took over. The processed leaves produce the colour.
In combination, these dyes could produce purples, burgundy, greens, turquoise, dark browns and near-black.
Woad blue was usually over-dyed with yellow weld to create greens. Yellows often fade first, so historic tapestries of woodlands and greenery are often very blue. The back of the tapestry, with the loose threads left from weaving, can often show us the original true colours of the tapestry when new.
Unlike most cloth-weaving, tapestry is generally woven on an upright loom, with the warp threads running top to bottom on the frame. For large tapestries, the loom has a cloth beam, where the finished weaving is wrapped around a pole, so the weaving can be moved along as it progresses.
Another construction technique peculiar to tapestry is that it is effectively woven sideways – the warp threads will end up horizontal when the piece is finished. In addition, the weaver works from the back, looking through the warps to the design or cartoon, pinned to the wall behind the loom. As you can imagine, this presents some interesting challenges to the weaver who can't actually see the tapestry properly as they work. The reverse-side weaving is presumably why medieval tapestries sometimes have back-to-front text. The weaver draws working lines into the warp as they progress.
Small areas of the weave are worked on at a time, not across the full width of the loom as you would in normal weaving. The weaver uses a number of colours at a time, interweaving them on the warp threads to create shading, lines and definition in the design.
The finest tapestry weavers of the middle ages were extremely skilled in creating colour transitions, shading and fine lines, all of which are difficult to do using this technique. These techniques though are what makes medieval and renaissance tapestry so special – the colours, the shading, the depth, the accuracy of line and the incredible detail added up to create wall hangings that stunned their viewers.
Fragment of 18th century (?) tapestry showing reverse side. Note the warp threads and the loose threads left during weaving.
The majority of tapestries produced in the later middle ages were woven in the Low Countries – North East mainland Europe near the coast, comprising of parts of modern Belgium, France, The Netherlands and Germany. Weavers were skilled artisans, generally employed in small workshops lead by a master weaver. Apprentices and journeyman (paid by the day weavers) assisted the master weaver and would have created much of the tapestry as well as taking care of the preparation – winding wool and preparing warps. The master would most likely have taken charge of the most challenging parts of a design such as faces. Officially, all weavers were men, but as in all artisan crafts, the master's family would also have been involved, including wives and daughters. Sometimes widows or unmarried daughters took on the trade of a husband or father and ran their own businesses.

Artists created the original drawings or paintings which would be reproduced in tapestry. Specialist draughtsmen were responsible for creating the cartoons, sometimes creating their own designs, but usually following an existing print, drawing or painting. In the vast majority of cases, tapestries were commissioned and those paying for them would have had firm ideas about what they wanted. The draughtsmen's skill came in translating a print into a full-scale cartoon which could be yards wide, whereas the weavers skill came in adding colour, texture and life to the line drawing.
The techniques of tapestry weaving haven't changed greatly since then and skilled weavers still use the same techniques now. In the same tradition, Dovecot Studios trains and employs tapestry weavers to create commissions for clients, and has done since 1912.
Artist weavers both design and make their own tapestry. I first came across artist-made tapestry at the V&A, where in 2004-5, Sue Lawty was Artist in Residence where she showed the influence of the natural landscape on her work.
Many other contemporary tapestry artists take inspiration from the natural world including Hillu Liebelt who created this series Winter Sun.
Jilly Edwards looks towards fields and fences in her recent work.
Fiona Rutherford takes a more abstract approach, using chunks and flashes of colour in her long, thin tapestry pieces.

Why not play songs at weddings?
Do not play music with explicit lyrics. We do not list any songs below in this category as this is self-explanatory. Be sure your music entertainer has radio version of all songs to be played at a wedding.
Do not play songs that pertain to death. Do not play songs that reference suicide. Songs in this category include Don't Close Your Eyes by Kix and Jumper by Third Eye Blind.
Be sure the music selected fits the theme and style of the wedding and reception. Classical background music would not be appropriate for a country-themed reception. If at all possible, we recommend to have the widest range of music types as possible. This will keep the majority of the guests happy. Music entertainers must be given as much leeway on music selections for the dancing portion of the wedding reception. This is their specialty – to get guests dancing!
Do not play music that is suggestive or offensive. Just A Gigolo by David Lee Roth is a great song for the garter removal or garter placement. However, is this song really appropriate for a wedding? Other song considerations with inappropriate meaning include Love Stinks by J Geils Band, Mother-In-Law by Ernie K-Doe and Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
Songs that refer to the stressful wedding planning process. A Song example is I'm In A Hurry (And Don't Know Why) by Alabama.
Please add stalking songs to your do not play list. Song examples include the Police's Every Breath You Take and Somebody's Watching Me by Rockwell.
Songs played that have an extended playing time. The average song length is about 3 1/2 minutes. Extended length songs include American Pie by Don McLean and Paradise By The Dashboard Light by Meat Loaf.
You must decide if both of you would like group dances to be played at your reception. Some people do not like such dances as they consider them goofy and/or well overplayed at wedding receptions. Popular group dance songs that are played at many wedding receptions include the Macarena by Los Del Rio, Chicken Dance and the Hokey Pokey. If you feel the same, add the songs to your songs not to play at the wedding.
Many people feel the money/dollar dance is inappropriate at a wedding reception. The reasoning is because guests are expected to bring a present and to ask for more money in the dollar dance is greedy. If you feel the same, add the songs to your songs not to play at the wedding. However, others feel it is a great way to have multiple one on one conversations with many guests.
Thanks Skip for your contributions!
DO NOT play Toy Soldiers by Martika,IT ISN'T what you think it is about ?
Thanks Scott for the tip.
Thank you Samantha. Great list of songs that should be added.
Hi Cameron, you're right – not a wedding song! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks John. This song should definitely be on this list.
Thanks. We will add it to the list!
Thanks for the suggestion Cameron!
Thank you Joey. We will add them to the list!

AROUND THE BLOCK: A visit to Wilmington, Delaware
Turner Publishing September 17, 2018
By Victor Block
Some members of the family lived in a 175-room mansion set amid a thousand acres of magnificent gardens; others resided in a chateau modeled after the palace where Marie Antoinette hung out.
People who worked for that affluent American dynasty had more modest quarters, including houses that today provide accommodations for visitors to the area.
This contrast between members of the du Pont family — who settled in Wilmington, Del., and the surrounding Brandywine Valley at the turn of the 19th century — with those who toiled in the powder mills they founded, is one of numerous diversities characterizing the destination.
The primary reason the area is a tourist magnet relates to the saga of the du Ponts. The tale began in 1800 when Pierre Samuel du Pont, the son of a Parisian watchmaker, emigrated to the United States, where one of his sons established a gunpowder mill near Wilmington. The company became the world's largest manufacturer of black powder and created one of the wealthiest family empires in the country.
A good place to begin exploring the area is at the Hagley Museum and Library featuring the restored original gunpowder mills, the Eleutherian Mills estate —where five generations of du Ponts resided — lovely gardens and the village where workers lived. The residence is packed with antique furnishings and valuable art.
Workers' Hill provides a glimpse of the life of original mill employees, including homes, a Sunday school for children and a garden filled with vegetables that factory families grew, contrasting with the elaborate ornamental plantings at du Pont homes.
The 77-room Nemours Estate was constructed by Alfred I. du Pont, the great-great-grandson of Pierre, for his second wife Alicia. It was modeled after a chateau that was built during the reign of French King Louis XV and occupied by Queen Marie Antoinette. The setting is enhanced by acres of formal gardens, greenhouses and a planted maze area.
The 175-room du Pont mansion, known as Winterthur, displays a collection of more than 90,000 antiques in stunning interiors. The house sits in a naturalistic setting of forests and rolling hills providing a backdrop for gardens presenting a year-round explosion of color.
More than 1,000 acres of outdoor plantings and a four-acre indoor conservatory make Longwood Gardens one of the premier botanical destinations in the world. A popular feature is spectacular displays of illuminated fountains. Technicolor streams of water rise and fall, spin and twirl in a precisely choreographed show.
As enticing as the du Pont story is, it represents only a small part of what awaits visitors to the area. For example, the Brandywine Valley inspired generations of Wyeth family artists. The Brandywine River Museum is renowned for its collection of works by N.C., Andrew and Jamie Wyeth. The houses and studios, where N.C. and Andrew lived and painted, are open to the public.
The region also boasts intriguing chapters of American history. The John Dickerson Plantation was the home of one of the country's founding fathers. He penned the phrase "United we stand, divided we fall," and was a drafter of the U.S. Constitution.
Fort Delaware on colorfully named Pea Patch Island was built in 1815 to protect the Wilmington and Philadelphia harbors, destroyed by fire and rebuilt prior to the Civil War. It served as a prisoner of war camp and held some 12,500 Confederate soldiers who were captured at Gettysburg.
Another story relates the role of African-Americans. Cultural achievements of Delaware-born African-Americans are recalled at the Delaware History Museum.
The Delaware segment of the Underground Railroad, which escaped slaves followed on their journey to freedom, includes sites associated with Harriet Tubman, Quaker abolitionists and others who risked much to provide assistance. A moving statue of Harriet looks out over the Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park, which is named for her and fellow abolitionist Thomas Garrett.
The Wilmington Riverfront attracts people who stop to read the historical plaques, strollers and joggers, and others drawn by the selection of places to eat. Nearby is a sign at the dock from which the small ferry boat departs to Fort Delaware. It reads, "Prepare to enter the past." That comment applies equally to much that awaits visitors to Wilmington and the Brandywine Valley.

Coastal Bend College serves a very broad and diverse community of students in the Coastal Bend Region. Respectively, the needs of our student population are also varied. In order to meet the needs of these students, CBC will provide a student service-based approach in allocating CARES Act funds to address the financial hardships experienced by our students during this challenging time. The College estimates that 2000 students at CBC would be eligible to participate in programs under Section 484 in Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and therefore eligible to receive an emergency financial aid grant.
Coastal Bend College has signed and returned the CARES Act certification and agreement form and intends to use the funds to provide the mandated amount of at least 50% of the emergency financial aid grants to students.
CBC's Approach to Distribution of Cares ACT Grants
The College will allocate approximately $1,066,771 in funds to assist students registered in the Spring 2020 semester needing assistance for expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to coronavirus as stipulated by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) Act. Coastal Bend College expects to serve The college will allocate 60% of relief funds to "eligible" students who were enrolled full-time at CBC during the Spring 2020 Semester and 35% of relief funds to "eligible" students who were enrolled part-time at CBC during the Spring 2020 Semester. CBC will also designate 5% of relief funds for students who may qualify for CARES ACT relief aid and become eligible after the initial distribution of funds. The following table outlines this approach in further detail:
Who is considered an Eligible Student?
The Department of Education has issued the following guidelines on student eligibility:
Only students who are or could be eligible to participate in programs under Section 484 in Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), may receive emergency financial aid grants. If a student has filed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), then the student has demonstrated eligibility to participate in programs under Section 484 the HEA. Students who have not filed a FAFSA but who are eligible to file a FAFSA also may receive emergency financial aid grants.
Students must be U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens.
Students must have a high school diploma, GED, or have completed high school in an approved homeschool setting.
Male students must be registered with Selective Service.
Students who have financial hardship due to COVID-19 due to disruption in campus operations and who are or could be eligible to participate in programs under Section 484 in Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), may receive emergency financial aid grants. If a student has filed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), then the student has demonstrated eligibility to participate in programs under Section 484 the HEA. Students who have not filed a FAFSA but who are eligible to file a FAFSA also may receive emergency financial aid grants. The criteria to participate in programs under Section 484 of the HEA include but are not limited to the following: U.S. citizenship or eligible noncitizen; a valid Social Security number; registration with Selective Service (if the student is male); and a high school diploma, GED, or completion of high school in an approved homeschool setting.
The Higher Education Emergency Relief Grants under the CARES Act are based on eligible student expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), and funding is not tied to existing financial aid programs such as Pell Grants. All funds are distributed directly to students as quickly as possible.
To be considered for CARES Act aid, students must be enrolled in the Spring 2020 semester. Students who withdrew in the Spring 2020 semester or graduated in the Spring 2020 semester must be enrolled in a future term at Coastal Bend College. CBC must be the student's home institution for financial aid purposes for Spring 2020. The deadline to complete the 2019-20 FAFSA is June 30, 2020.
Which students are ineligible?
The Department of Education has issued the following guidance on students who are ineligible to receive CARES Act relief aid:
CBC Dual Enrollment Students
CBC undocumented students and international students are not eligible.
At institutions that provide both online and ground-based education, those students who were enrolled exclusively in an online program on March 13, 2020, the date of the President's Proclamation, "Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Outbreak," Federal Register Vol. 85, No. 53 at 15337-38, are not eligible for emergency financial aid grants.
Do the eligibility requirements mean that I must qualify for a Pell Grant to receive relief Aid?
No. Pell Grant eligibility is based on the following:
your Expected Family Contribution,
the cost of attendance (determined by your school for your specific program),
your status as a full-time or part-time student, and
your plans to attend school for a full academic year or less.
Eligibility requirements of the CARES Act relief funds outline that you need to be eligible for federal student aid programs under Section 484 in Title IV of the Higher Education
Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). All federal aid is determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), so be sure you have submitted yours for the 2019-2020 academic year. The deadline for the 2019-2020 FAFSA is midnight, Central Time, June 30, 2020.
How do I request CARES act relief funds as a CBC Student?
Students wishing to be considered for these funds will submit a CARES Act Emergency Aid Application. Applicants must provide an explanation of expenses related to the disruption of CBC operations due to COVID-19.
If eligible, will CBC apply the emergency financial aid grant to any outstanding balance (i.e., tuition, fees, fines) I may have at the College?
No. The disbursement of the emergency financial aid grant to the student must remain unencumbered by the institution; debts, charges, fees, or other amounts owed to the institution may not be deducted from the emergency financial aid grant.
Fall 2020 CARES ACT Application Process
The CARES Application for the Fall 2020 semester can be accessed using this link. If you have any questions, please email us at finaid@coastalbend.edu.
If eligible, how will I receive my emergency financial aid grant funds?
Funding will be disbursed using your refunding preference established with BankMobile. Please be sure your current address is on file with our admissions office.
For more information about BankMobile visit: https://www.refundselection.com/refundselection/#/welcome/continue. Please contact CBC's Business Office for additional information about establishing your refunding preference.
Additional CARES Act Questions and Answers
The CARES Act is federal legislation which provides a variety of financial support to individuals and businesses affected by the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic. One part of this federal program allocates money to Coastal Bend College, and a portion of that allocation can be awarded to students who are experiencing financial expenses because of the campus disruption in operations due to the coronavirus.
What kind of expenses are allowable?
Expenses need to be directly related to the changes in campus operations due to the coronavirus. Here are some examples:
If a student needs a laptop because the college moved to online courses, that would be an allowable expense.
If a student worked on campus and now the job is suspended, funds could be used to pay for expenses because the college changed operationally.
Students who used CBC's Child Development Center for childcare may now have increased costs because the college closed that facility. If a student needs child care that costs more than our Child Development Center, that would be an allowable expense.
If you or a family member lost your job and cannot afford to pay for books, that expense would not be allowed because it does not relate to the college's change in operations.
Funds can be used for food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, or child care. These expenses need to be tied directly to a specific change in how the college is operating due to the coronavirus.
Does the money need to be repaid?
No, money received through this fund does not need to be repaid.
Would this funding reduce my financial aid?
No, this fund does not negate nor replace financial aid, and it is a one-time grant.
Can I apply for funding more than once?
Students may be allowed to reapply again in the Summer and Fall semester. However, this will be determined by the amount of appropriated funds that may be available after relief aid is given to eligible students in the Spring 2020 semester.
What are the deadlines to apply?
Applications will be taken throughout the remainder of the Spring 2020 semester. However, requests will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis until federal funds provided have been exhausted.
Who can I call for more information?
If you have questions or need more information, please call the Financial Aid Office at (361) 354-2238. Students may also chat with a financial aid representative via PHP Live Chat.


Ear psoriasis can develop due to a passing disease from the scalp and can sometimes be caused by wearing glasses. It can affect one or both ears. A buildup of skin or wax scales is formed at the place of inflamed areas. Because of this, the hearing deteriorates considerably. When the disease hits the ear, you cannot delay treatment, as the rash can move to other parts of the head.
Psoriasis of the ears is not contagious, so you can safely communicate with the people with this condition. The disease is not transmitted by airborne droplets or through a contact.
If you notice a pattern of sequential pain or itching on the skin around the ear, you may have psoriasis. As a rule, it occurs in the external ear canal.
A small swelling of the ears.
Psoriasis of the ears does not depend on age. Statistics prove that the condition can be detected both in children and adults. It is recommended to consult a doctor immediately when you notice the first symptoms.
There are several complex methods aimed at strengthening the body, neutralizing the symptoms and preventing relapse.
The course of vitamins to strengthen immunity.
The intake of various non-steroid drugs that reduce itching, inflammation and pain.
Taking antidepressants to relieve psychological stress.
Course of antibiotics in case of infection.
Laser therapy is prescribed to restore metabolic processes.

Casting process simulation technologies
We once existed in the era of trial and error when material had to be physically sacrificed to the cause of experimentation.
Casting process simulation spurred an industry enlightenment. Engineers predict the outcome of their aluminum castings before the molds are even made. The software captures the entire casting process, from the design table, tool engineering and foundry workflow all the way to predict how the casting will perform in the field.
The complete guide
Have the "Casting process simulation technologies" PDF to keep.
The technology also provides a common communication platform between the designers, foundry and clients so everyone can work together to solve problems and set reasonable projections.
Simulation software drastically reduces the time and expense of developing new casting products or reimagining failed projects. It also removes guesswork from the process, offering confidence and peace of mind.
Eliminate trial and error
People have been casting metal for over 5,000 years, and we've known since the mid-1800s how to calculate the physics — heat conduction, fluid dynamics and diffusion — but powerful computers weren't readily available to crunch the numbers until the 1990s.
Now, many foundries can access simulation software, but a lot of them still don't take advantage of the technology consistently.
We don't like conjecture, so engineers perform the entire simulation process before making every mold. It's far less expensive and much quicker than fixing a mold after its cut in steel.
The simulation process for casting optimization
Metalcasting is a simultaneous interaction between the alloy, mold and process parameters that's hidden from view within the mold. Simulation tools draw back the curtain to unveil this interplay in detail.
Casting simulations begin with the part design, alloy, and mold material. But there are many other things to consider while evaluating an effective casting simulation model, such as metal temperatures and velocities while filling of the model, air entrapment and inclusions, and possible shrink porosity defects.
Casting Process Simulation Sequence
The main component of any effective simulation is a 3D CAD model of the casting, in this case a cast aluminum arm model.
This image from the part's solidification sequence depicts the metal's gradual transition from fully molten to a partially and then fully solidified state. The color scale represents varying amounts of liquid metal in different regions of the casting. The transparent regions represent fully solidified structure.
Last-to-solidify areas of the casting, also called hotspots, are the regions in the part that will tend to produce internal shrink voids if not fed with additional metal during solidification.
These defects could jeopardize the product's structural integrity and lead to part rejects and failures.
Casting designers analyze how the part solidifies and the location of hotspots. They then optimize casting section size and transitions in order to reduce or completely eliminate hotspots.
The foundry process engineers use these simulation results in order to identify effective riser placement and size. Risers (aka feeders) supplement molten alloy to supply metal to the hotspots as it cools.
The mechanical properties of cast aluminum alloys are sensitive to composition and the casting process, among other factors. The coarseness of the microstructure and the type of intermetallic compounds that form and precipitate during solidification are fundamental to the material performance. Casting process simulation allows design engineers to predict the resulting microstructure of the casting and its mechanical properties.
Cast aluminum alloys are characterized by the dendritic morphology of the primary aluminum phase. Visually, these dendrites are akin to tree branches and their size and density are directly related to the solidification rates of the casting structure. The tighter the dendrite arms (branches) are spaced, as characterized by parameters like secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS), the stronger the structure.
The SDAS plot on the left, as extracted from simulation results, depicts the distribution of the dendrites at the end of the casting process. Designers can use this information to evaluate the strength and durability of the casting based on its intended application.
Coupling casting properties with performance
The traditional design process assumes material homogeneity throughout the part.
In reality, varying solidification rates change the microstructure, as described above, and cause portions of the casting to exhibit variable mechanical properties. In addition, non-uniform volumetric contraction of the casting can lead to residual stress that may harm part performance under dynamic loading.
The black and white figure on the left represents the traditional approach, a structural and fatigue analysis model that assumes uniform material properties throughout the entire part. The color-coded figure depicts the various properties that can be predicted from the casting simulation outputs and mapped onto the structural model.
Designers compare this data to the ultimate demands of the product to determine if the part will be able to perform its purpose, such as reliably supporting a specified weight.
If changes need to be made, this is the time to do it.
Tool engineering
Now it's time to look at things from the perspective of a foundry's casting process engineer who has to design tooling that can produce optimal castings with as little material waste as possible.
They use the simulation software to evaluate different tooling options and see which combination best optimizes the casting process.
A cross-section on the left shows an area of predicted micro shrink that may open during machining and reduce casting quality and performance.
At center, we see variously sized feeders cycling through the simulation, running the numbers to see how each sizing combination affects the solidification sequence.
The cross-section at right shows that one set of feeders successfully relocated shrinkage away from the more structurally significant portion of the casting.
Gating systems control the molten metal's flow into the mold.
Effective simulation models predict how the alloy will fill the mold, distribute heat and solidify with a particular gating system and other tooling.
The demo on the left shows how liquid fills the casting starting at about 1,375 degrees Fahrenheit and ending at the liquidus point when it begins to solidify. The upper and lower portions of the castings are cooling at a much faster rate than the sides, which will cause issues in the part.
The demo on the right traces particle flow, which allows engineers to get an inside view of the metal stream as it fills the cavity so they can predict the effects of tooling alterations. Notice how liquid enters the lower gates and escapes through the upper gates, pulling heat back into the gating system and away from the actual part.
Gate graphing
Flow rates are measured for each gating system as represented by this chart. Positive rates represent fluid flowing through the gate to enter the mold, while negative rates indicate liquid leaving the mold through the gate.
The three gating systems show different improvement options.
Design adjustments
The designer simulates other tooling arrangements in pursuit of better results. In this case, the demo on the left represents the original design, the center shows a mold with only two sets of gates and an upper feeder, and the right shows only the lower gates and upper feeder.
The demo on the right maintained the most consistent fluid temperature and will likely create the densest casting. It also uses the least amount of metal, so it will run faster with a cheaper piece price.
Here these same arrangements are analyzed for air pressure as the mold is filled. The colored alterations in the ingate system indicate gases are escaping against the fluid flow, which should be monitored for non-fill.
The demo on the left shows the risk of trapping air in the casting without an upper riser allowing gases to escape. The other two designs allow air to completely evacuate.
Better, cheaper castings
Fewer ingates also saves money on materials. Excess metal within the gating system is cut away during secondary machining. Our new design demonstrates the two verse six ingate design is more efficient.
Based on these simulations, the foundry could save $4.56 per part by implementing the design on the right over the initial design while producing better castings.
How would casting simulation help you?
If you'd like to cast stronger, cheaper parts without wasting an ounce of metal, give us a call.
It's never too early to begin working with our engineers. The earlier you contact us, the more we can provide.

Please Note: Reverse My Tinnitus by Alan Watson and Dr. James Phillips is no longer available. To avoid broken links and to help tinnitus sufferers who may still land on this page, we have found an excellent alternative. All links in this post now point to the Tonaki Tinnitus Protocol by Todd Carson.
The following Reverse My Tinnitus review examines the new tinnitus remedy from Alan Watson and Dr. James Phillips. Reverse My Tinnitus is a downloadable PDF ebook that contains Watson and Phillips' dietary protocol for eliminating tinnitus.
With a host of recent reviews and testimonials proclaiming its effectiveness, the Reverse My Tinnitus ebook and corresponding treatment protocol deserves strong consideration from all tinnitus sufferers still looking for a way to permanently stop ringing in the ears.
Tinnitus affects millions of people each day who are forced to live with painful and extremely irritating ringing in the ears. When the communication from the inner ear to the brain is disrupted, the end result can be a disturbance that causes chirping, buzzing, ringing, and whistling sounds heard from within.
The Reverse My Tinnitus PDF is available for download from Dr. James Phillips and Alan Watson's My Tinnitus Solution website.
When Dr. James Phillips and Alan Watson created the Reverse My Tinnitus program, they had no idea how much attention they were going to draw from the medical world and tinnitus sufferers worldwide. While the claims of just another miracle product were being broadcast by the pharmaceutical world, people desperate for a cure to their problem were saying just the opposite.
How could the Reverse My Tinnitus program reverse the effects of tinnitus permanently?
The reason this program works, senior sound engineer Alan Watson needed to find a cure for his worsening tinnitus condition, and he collaborated with ENT specialist Dr. James Phillips to find a cure. The program they went on to develop did more than simply mask the condition like so many other guides, programs, and treatments recommend.
One of the most popular treatments for treating tinnitus is to simply place a white-noise device near the bed to mask, or cover-up the sounds at night. How is this supposed to do anything more than prolong the inevitable? The Reverse My Tinnitus guide was developed from the place of attacking the problem at the source and eliminating the symptoms forever.
The scientific research that went into the Reverse My Tinnitus ebook was a combination of years of collaboration between two specialists in the related fields. Alan Watson was committed to finding a solution that was all natural, and worked on eliminating the issue at the source rather than providing temporary relief.
This unique approach to dealing with tinnitus went to work on the root cause of tinnitus, repairing the damaged myelin sheath that protects the nerve endings in the inner ear. This fatty layer protects the nerves, allowing crystal clear communication between the ear and the brain, and any damage will result in a disruption to the transfer of information causing the hissing, buzzing, ringing sounds that are typical with tinnitus.
When Dr. James Phillips sat with Alan Watson to explain the process can be reversed by introducing a type of antibody into the system, this was a real game changer for this industry. He went on to explain that although this antibody is already being produced naturally, the production can be significantly impacted by certain foods that are being consumed.
The clinical studies conducted by Dr. Phillips showed that this vital antibody can easily be triggered by simply increasing the consumption of certain foods like eggs, beef, and beans in a systematic way. The medical world as a whole have not been forthcoming with this information for whatever reason, and pharmaceutical companies stand to make billions this year by making sure the problem is masked rather than cured.
The Reverse My Tinnitus program is a culmination of the desperate need for a solution to the symptoms of this painful disease and the scientific breakthrough regarding an all natural cure. The systematic step-by-step guide takes readers on a journey through the foods they need to avoid that are limiting the production of the antibody, to how to transform their diets so they produce it in abundance.
Within two weeks of implementing these strategies, tinnitus sufferers will begin to see an improvement in their conditions. The information provided in the guide will not only reduce the symptoms, it will go on to provide permanent relief.
Since the release of the Reverse My Tinnitus program, over 105,302 people who suffered with ringing of the ears in one degree or another have found permanent relief from those symptoms. The techniques developed in the guide are backed by the research conducted by a team of doctors that studied the disease in a top five research facility in England.
Regardless if a patient was told by a physician the condition is incurable, or has been living with the condition their entire life, the all natural techniques discussed in the guide have had astounding positive results. By focusing on repairing the cochlea nerve, the patient can forgo those masking techniques that are intended to only lessen the severity of the pain. Repairing the nerve with resources the body already manufactures was a break-through this industry has desperately needed.
Now the world appears to be listening, as the Journal of Neuroscience has recently confirmed that damage to the myelin sheath will in fact alter the auditory signals to the brain. This is exactly the foundation for the Reverse My Tinnitus program, and the reason hundreds of thousands of people have gone on to eliminate tinnitus from their lives.
Tinnitus sufferers now have an alternative to surgery, masking therapy, and dangerous prescription medication. By utilizing the all natural procedures laid out by Dr. James Phillips and Alan Watson in the Reverse My Tinnitus guide, people can repair inner ear damage from within and live a life free from the hissing, buzzing, ringing, and chirping, that currently consumes them each and every day.

Imo PDP Weighs Okorocha's Camp Demands
Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP are weighing the nitty gritty of the demands, allegedly tendered before the party by followers of former governor of Imo State and Senator Representing Orlu Zone, Senator Rochas Okorocha.
In the last two weeks, the media has been awash with reports of possible entrance into the PDP from the APC, followers of the former Imo State Governor.
Top level sources in the PDP in Imo State confirmed that "contact" has been established between the camp of the former governor and party leaders.
According to them, some demands were made by the Senator.
A chieftain of the party who spoke on condition of anonymity told INNONEWS that Okorocha/PDP ongoing talks can be likened to "a case of a top striker on the verge of signing for a new club with contract details already formalized, while the player is undergoing medicals before joining the new club"
Part of the demands tabled before the PDP by the camp of the former governor include: the running mate slot to the governorship candidate of the party in 2023, "re tooling" the executives of the PDP from the ward to the State levels, to acomodate those from the ex governor's camp, automatic tickets for serving House of Reps members from the ex governor's camp, Senatorial ticket of the party for Orlu Senatorial zone and other demands.
PDP leaders are said to be weighing the demands.
A PDP governor from the South South is allegedly spearheading the move for Okorocha's men.
Another governor from the North may be drafted in, though this newspaper could not verify this piece of information.
Another source said the demands would have been given accelerated consideration, if the South South governor was not "distracted" by his unsucessful plot to oust the PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus.
Majority of followers of the former governor confirmed the talks, though they contend that they have not been "fully" briefed on the matter.
"The move to another party is a work in progress" said a former state lawmaker sympathetic to the Okorocha camp.
Former Governor Rochas Okorocha, his ally, Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, who is also expected to be part of the move to the PDP and their thousands of loyalists, had boycotted the APC membership and revalidation exercise.
They did not also participate in the just concluded ward congress of the APC, swelling speculations that they may have concluded plans to join the PDP.

Luke 10:1-12, 17-20
Leap into Heaven
by Rev. William P. Saunders
Luke writes to explain that
There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test Jesus and said, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?" He said in reply, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." He replied to him, "You have answered correctly; do this and you will live."
But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied, "A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn, and cared for him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, 'Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.' Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers' victim?" He answered, "The one who treated him with mercy." Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
July 20, we mark the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11's lunar landing. Astronaut Neil Armstrong, who took the first step on the surface of the moon, declared, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." In a spiritual light, we could say Our Lord, by his cross and resurrection, has taken "the great leap" for us, freeing us from slavery to sin, restoring the life of grace and opening the gates of heaven. Each of us, however, must take it one step each day as a faithful disciple, walking with Our Lord, the Good Shepherd, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
In our Gospel passage today, Our Lord presented clear directions to keep us on the right path. First, a disciple must not be weighed down. Jesus said, "Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals." Too often, a person allows something to weigh him down, which in turn prevents him from being a fully committed disciple. For example, financial concerns — the pursuit of wealth — could weigh us down so much that wealth becomes the idol: Wealth management overtakes spiritual management.
The "fear of missing out" may weigh us down and take control of our lives, so that we are living for the moment, seeking instant gratification and following the crowd — why else do Americans spend an average of nine hours a day on "screen time?" Or, the open wounds of past hurts may weigh us down, eclipsing the blessings of the present.
Instead, a disciple should use the gifts of this world — wealth in the broadest sense — for the glory of God, the good of others through charitable works, and for oneself. The disciple enjoys life, but takes time in prayer and worship to dwell in the Lord's presence; recognizes past hurts but forgives, allowing the wound to heal and blocking Satan's desire to have us live in the hurtful past, not the blessedness of the present.
Second, the disciple must "shake off" rejection, like dust from the feet. Here Our Lord used a Semitic expression, meaning, "Don't take to heart someone else's rejection. Don't let the insults or mean spiritedness crush your spirit. You can't force someone else to believe, and in the end everyone must account for his own life. So don't be discouraged. Carry on."
Third, the disciple needs to have good, faithful companions. Notice that Jesus sent them out in pairs. A faithful companion gives encouragement and provides honest counsel, direction and correction. A disciple needs a faithful confidant with whom he can seek advice, open his heart and vent; this person does not desire to gossip or blab to everyone else. No, this confidant is the trusted, wise friend who accompanies us on our journey — for example, a priest, spouse or proven friend. Proverbs 18:19 teaches, "A brother is a better defense than a strong city, and a friend is like the bars of a castle."
Fourth, the disciple must be prepared to face the enemy. Our Lord said he was sending them out like "lambs among wolves." However, he also reminded them that they would have the power to tread upon serpents and scorpions. Keep in mind, serpent always refers to the devil and his demons, and scorpions — vicious creatures easily provoked to attack with a terrible, painful sting — refer to evil people, who act in kind. Interestingly, it is said if scorpions are caged together, they will attack and kill each other, just as evil people ultimately destroy each other and themselves. Nevertheless, the faithful disciple will be victorious in the Lord: Satan will fall like lightening, and the full force of the enemy will not be able to harm us.
In the end, having taken so many small steps each day with Our Lord and relying on his grace, the time will come for the final launch. We will take the leap to heaven, to be embraced by Our Lord and see our names written in the book of life.


Multiple sclerosis affects about 2.5 million people worldwide – and the disabling disease, which affects the body's central nervous system – has always been irreversible.
However, doctors at the Cleveland Clinic are using a special type of stem cell to relieve the symptoms of MS and possibly reverse damage the disease has caused.
Bill White, a veteran of the Navy and former gym owner, said he was devastated when he developed MS five years ago. He is the first patient in North America to take part in the study, which uses his own stem cells to treat his disease.
"I mean, you never think you're going to get a disease," White said.
Dr. Jeffrey Cohen of the Cleveland Clinic said the main goal of the study is to demonstrate that the treatment is safe, but also to find out if the treatment will benefit the patient.
White's bone marrow, which contains mesenchymal stem cells, was collected, then purified and multiplied. After four to six weeks, doctors gave White an infusion of these stem cells, which are thought to decrease the damaging immune activity.
"We've had a number of effective treatments for MS that slow down the disease, but nothing that repairs the damage that has already occurred and many of us think that stem cells is one of the most promising approaches to accomplish that," Cohen said.
Two months after the infusion, White said he has not had any side effects. He said he has better eye movement and muscle movement.
Cohen said it will be approximately two years before they have definite results of White's study, but they'll continue to monitor him to determine the benefits.


A fabulous contemporary necklace made of solid sterling silver. This seashell has been cast* from a real periwinkle shell that I found on my local beach on the beautiful Northumberland coast - a delicate little necklace that sits beautifully on the wearer.
A perfect gift for someone who wishes to keep the memories of the sea.

On October 13 we celebrated our tenth birthday with a very special Love London Sunday. As part of our celebrations, we wanted to give a gift to charities who are making a great contribution to our city, our nation, and overseas. We divided a gift of £10k between four great charities, one of which was World Vision UK.
In this post, Johan Eldebo, Senior Humanitarian Policy Adviser at World Vision, explains a bit about what they do.
Recently a study revealed that 1% of the population of the world owns approximately 50% of its wealth. About 1 billion people in the world live in extreme poverty, on less than $1.25 a day. Meanwhile, the richest 85 people in the world have about the same wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion. Inequality between the rich countries and the poor has more than doubled over the last 50 years, at the same time as inequality within both rich and poor countries have increased.
But these are just the economic numbers.
Today 51m people are forcibly displaced due to conflict, the largest number since World War 2. The conflict in Syria is in its fourth year, with 6.5m displaced in the country and more than 10.5m people in need of assistance. In South Sudan some 4m people need aid. About half of those in need are children, many of whom will be more likely to learn how to work in a field or as a soldier than learn how to read and write.
The total need for humanitarian crises in 2014 is estimated to $20bn, around the same amount the World Cup cost to organise, what it cost Facebook to buy Whatsapp and what it costs to run Kentucky for two years.
Of this, 45% has so far been provided, leaving more than half of the needs of emergency assistance such water, food and shelter in the world unmet.
For many people, this is simply not good enough.
For some people, coming face to face with a world like this will change their lives.
Robert Pierce was one of those people. As an American missionary he went to China to preach the Gospel. While there, many came to believe through his teaching. One evening a child, White Jade, who had earlier that day accepted Christ, came knocking on the door at the house where he was staying. She had been cast of our home for becoming a Christian, and was now, beaten up, standing in front of Robert with nothing. His hosts explained to him that the orphanage, which they were running, was already full. They then asked him a question that would stay with him:
What are you going to do about this?
For Robert, this meant that preaching the Gospel was no longer enough, and he promised to finance the care of this child in China by raising support in the US. In addition to hearing about the love of God, White Jade was now going to experience the love of God through the church. That initiative by one person to support one child has now grown into one of the largest charities in the world, serving children and communities in close to 100 countries.
World Vision focuses its work on children in need, in areas of both poverty and conflict. Those most in need tend to be in areas that simultaneously are hit by poverty and conflict, making life and assistance difficult. Today, this means Syria, South Sudan, Afghanistan and the Central African Republic. In those areas World Vision often provides safe places for children to be, learn and play in. These places, known as child friendly spaces, are often inside refugee camps and provide an escape from the chaos outside the door. Inside, we can then provide teachers and health care and ensure there is enough food and water, giving a glimpse of normalcy in an environment of utter chaos.
This is made possible by connecting the rich world with the poor world, or more precisely people in the rich world with people in need. Dividing my time between the conflict zones of the world and Zone 1 in London, I get to live with the tension of the two seemingly different worlds. It provides a lot of opportunities to think about why and how we in the rich world connect with less fortunate parts of the world.
The 'why' is easy from a Christian perspective. Jesus did it, and he told us to do the same. He came to the people no one liked, and spent time with those whom society didn't want. The rich and the powerful didn't like him; the poor and the hungry did. I wonder, if Jesus came back today, would he come to our neighbourhood? What would he say about our communities and our priorities? What would he say about our level of involvement with the displaced in South Sudan or the homeless in London?
The 'how' is perhaps more difficult. There are plenty of things wrong with this world, and different people care about different wrongs. Robert Pierce's heart was broken by what happened to White Jade, and as a result of that he started World Vision. Our challenge in the rich world isn't so much what our heart breaks for, but that we make sure it breaks for for something. Our danger is that we get so lost in our first world problems that we forget what happens in the rest of the world.

ASCAP will reward the Fania and Daddy Yankee in annual ceremony
February 11, 2014 by KCBA-admin Leave a Comment
San Juan, Feb 11 (Entravision) .- The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) reported today that the next March 18 will be awarded to the legendary salsa orchestra of the stars of the Fania and the Puerto Rican reguetonero Daddy Yankee by their enforceable in the music.
The recognized salsa band will receive the ASCAP Award to the Hispanic Heritage and the Puerto Rican rapper 37 years you'll be presented with the ASCAP Vanguard Award at an event that will take place at the Hammerstein Ballroom at the Manhattan Center in New York.
The orchestra The Stars of the Fania arose after the Dominican flutist Johnny Pacheco, and the deceased Italian businessman Jerry Massuci will create a record label under the name of Fania who specialized in the promotion of salsa.
With the most prominent artists formed the legendary orchestra of the stars of the Fania, which marked the rise of the salsa in the decade of the seventies and made history in the tropical music.
The first concert of the stars of the Fania was held on August 26, 1971 in room The Cheetah of New York.
The presentation was recorded and created the documentary "Our Latin Thing", which presents to members of the group as Pacheco, Ray Barreto, Ismael Miranda, Larry Harlow, Hector Lavoe, Cheo Feliciano and many other figures from the association in all its splendor.
The scenes of the recording inaugurates the street culture of latin music in New York in the seventies.
Fania brings together more than 200 renowned artists of tropical music with styles that transcended the limits of traditional Latin music to open way to genres, such as the big band latin, Afro-cuban jazz, jazz, boogaloo and sauce.
The salsa, say many, was born in the suburbs of New York over sixty years ago thanks to young American musicians who migrated to the north American continent.
One of the most widely held theories attributed his birth to Pacheco, who considers the sauce a mixture of Caribbean rhythms like the guaracha, mambo, pachanga, guajira, guaganco and chachacha.
Racism, emigration to the USA and the consumption of drugs were some of the thematic of the salsa songs in its origins, when young people began to dance it in clubs in New York and Puerto Rico.
Daddy Yankee, whose original name is Raymond Ayala and styled the "chief" of reggaeton, is one of the pioneers of the genre and possibly the urban reguetonero more globally known.
With the song "Gasoline", from his album "Barrio Fino" (2004), which sold a million copies, heard about the international success, which came after a lot of work and overcome the criticisms coming from the 1990s have fallen on the gender.
Being "a neighborhood Chamaco" began at the musician that believes "mentor and godfather", DJ Playero, to sell their homemade productions in the streets of the residential Villa Kennedy, in San Juan.
The rapper now wanted to be professional baseball, but was shot in the right leg, which ended his illusions to play baseball.
He overcame the temptation to fall into the world of drug trafficking and crime focusing all their illusions in the music, a decision that turned out to be "a blessing and a privilege".
In the beginning with DJ Playero, Daddy Yankee formed part of the group "Dream Team", along with the pioneers of reggaeton singers Chezina, Pirin, Ruben Sam, Miguel Play, Kalil, Maicol y Manuel.
On that computer was also the reguetonero Tempo, whose real name is David Sánchez Badillo, who was released last year after serving several years in prisons in the United States for drug trafficking.
Although many musicologists identifies the origin of reggaeton in the hip-hop groups which began to sing in Spanish in New York and that after step to Panama, Yankee ensures that "here is where he initiated, (Puerto Rico) is the cradle, the root".
Named one of the most influential Hispanics in the world, both by CNN and Time magazine, Daddy Yankee has sold over 11 million albums, many of them under its imprint The Cartel Records.
In the awards ceremony of the stars of the Fania and Daddy Yankee, ASCAP also recognize the composer of the year, the publisher of the Year, Frihet independent of the Year and Latin Song of the Year Awards will also be presented in the categories Pop, Tropical, Regional Mexican, Urban and Television.
ASCAP is a professional organization of authors, composers and publishers of all types of music. The goal of the entity is to promote the music of its members and to defend the rights of their artists.

Q: Bitbucket pipeline for sonarcloud fail I tried to connect sonarcloud with bitbucket pipeline, but i continue to get this error

Container 'docker' exceeded memory limit.

I tried to increase memory up to 4096 but with this value i get this error

The Build, test and analyze on SonarCloud step doesn't have enough memory to run. It is a 1x size step with 4096MB of memory, and 4096MB is allocated to defined step services. 1024MB is required to run the step scripts. You will need to reduce the memory requirements of the services on the step by 1024MB.

this is my yalm file
clone:
  depth: full              # SonarCloud scanner needs the full history to assign issues properly
definitions:
  services:
    docker:
        memory: 3072
  caches:
    sonar: ~/.sonar/cache  # Caching SonarCloud artifacts will speed up your build
  steps:
    - step: &build-test-sonarcloud
        name: Build, test and analyze on SonarCloud
        caches:
          - sonar
        script:       # Build your project and run
          - pipe: sonarsource/sonarcloud-scan:1.4.0
    - step: &check-quality-gate-sonarcloud
        name: Check the Quality Gate on SonarCloud
        script:
          - pipe: sonarsource/sonarcloud-quality-gate:0.1.6

pipelines:                 # More info here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/configure-bitbucket-pipelines-yml-792298910.html
  branches:
    master:
      - step: *build-test-sonarcloud
      - step: *check-quality-gate-sonarcloud
  pull-requests:
    '**':
      - step: *build-test-sonarcloud
      - step: *check-quality-gate-sonarcloud

How can i fix this?

A: If you need more than 3072 MB of memory for a service then you should provision a size: 2x for all steps using that service.
If that service is docker, that means all steps using a pipe.
Note you will be charged twice.
definitions:
  services:
    docker:
        memory: 7168

  yaml-anchors:
    - &my-step
        name: Something
        size: 2x
        script:
          - pipe: something

pipelines:
  default:
    - step: *my-step

Also note you can define multiple docker services with different memory requirements and wisely use each one in each step.

Latest Canberra Raiders News
Raiders sign Bateman
August 8, 2018, 11:12 pm By Joel Leave a Comment
Having gotten plenty of value from Englishmen Josh Hodgson and Elliott Whitehead, the Raiders have decided to go back to the UK well one more time.
Super League club Wigan have today announced that the Raiders have signed second-rower John Bateman to a two-year deal with a third-year option, which will see him head to Canberra until at least the end of 2020.
He's also signed a deal to return to Wigan at the conclusion of that contract; effectively sorting out his future for the next six years.
The Raiders are facing a decent amount of player turnover next year, and were always going to add a few players. In the past, their English investments have provided excellent performance at reasonable prices. Hopefully that trend continues with Bateman.
Bateman has played 152 games for Wigan and Bradford, and 12 Tests for England.

Having lost Shannon Boyd and Junior Paulo for next year, it was important that the Raiders keep some of their forward depth, and they've done exactly that.
The Raiders have today announced the re-signing of forward Dunamis Lui for another three years, keeping him at the club until the end of 2021.
Though hardly their biggest name, Lui has been a regular feature for the side this year, and will provide continuity in their pack moving forward.
Lui has played 107 first grade games for the Raiders, Dragons, Sea Eagles and Broncos, and 5 Tests for Samoa.
Lui ACL fears confirmed

A week ago, news that the Raiders had locked down reserve winger Michael Oldfield likely would have been greeted with a resounding "who?!"; but after the speedster turned in the game of his life on the weekend, it'll hopefully be greeted with smiles from Raiders fans.
To that end, the Raiders have indeed re-signed Oldfield, locking him down for a further two years, until the end of 2020.
The journeyman winger is 27 years old, and not likely to crack the Raiders' top side at full strength; but he proved on the weekend the value of having high quality depth.
Oldfield has played 36 first grade games for the Raiders, Panthers, Rabbitohs and Sea Eagles, and 2 Tests for Tonga.

As expected, the Raiders today officially announced the re-signing of hooker Siliva Havili for a further two years.
Havili's new deal will see him remain in Canberra until the end of 2020.
Havili has played 41 first grade games for the Raiders, Dragons and Warriors, 1 Test for New Zealand, and 9 Tests for Tonga.

After being told that he was no longer required at the Raiders, five-eighth Blake Austin has opted to move somewhere even colder.
The Warrington Wolves have today announced the signing of Austin on a three-year deal, that will see him move to England until the end of 2021 (or until he applies for an early release due to "homesickness"; whatever comes first).
Austin has been pursued by the Eels, and though he will be wearing blue and yellow next year, it won't be anywhere near Parramatta.
Austin has played 114 first grade games for the Raiders, Tigers and Panthers.

The foresight part of NEO-CARBON ENERGY explores possible futures of a new renewables-based energy production and storage system, which is being developed by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) and University of Turku – Finland Futures Research Centre (FFRC). This joint research project is one of the strategic research openings of Tekes – The Finnish Funding Agency for Innovation. The foresight work is conducted in the Finland Futures Research Centre. A possibly distributed energy production system of neo-/low-carbon technologies and emerging issues such as prosumerism can drive economic, political, cultural and social changes. Radically new innovations, services and practices could emerge as a result of the third industrial revolution.
