Whats the difference between DVD-R and DVD+R?
I know the specs are the same and 99% of the time the same exact price. What exactly is the difference?
Best Answer: There are a slightly different No of secotrs on +R to -R discs, but the biggest "main" thing that the y come about form is which "technical group" support each format and therefore claim "theirs" is best
hence :
Recordable formats, supported by the DVD Forum
DVD-R for Authoring: a special-purpose DVD-R used to record DVD masters, which can then be duplicated to pressed DVDs by a duplication plant. They require a special DVD-R recorder, and are not often used nowadays since many duplicators can now accept ordinary DVD-R masters.
DVD-R (strictly DVD-R for General): can record up to 4.7 GB in a similar fashion to a CD-R disc. Once recorded and finalized it can be played by most DVD-ROM players.
DVD-RW: can record up to 4.7 GB in a similar fashion to a CD-RW disc.
DVD-R DL: a derivative of DVD-R that uses double-layer recordable discs to store up to 8.5 GB of data.
DVD-RAM (current specification is version 2.1): 2.6 GB, 4.7 GB or 9.4 GB (double-sided) discs compatible with only a small proportion of other-format DVD drives. DVD-RAM discs were originally typically housed in a cartridge, though these are now less commonly required. Discs can be removed from their caddy and used in compatible standard-tray drives. Rewritable many more times than other rewritable formats.
DVD-AR: Recordable version of DVD-Audio
Recordable formats, supported by the DVD+RW Alliance
DVD+R: can record up to 4.7 GB single-layered/single-sided DVD+R disc, at up to 16x speed. Like DVD-R you can record only once.
DVD+RW: can record up to 4.7 GB at up to 16x speed. Since it is rewritable it can be overwritten several times. It does not need special "pre-pits" or finalization to be played in a DVD player.
DVD+R DL: a derivate of DVD+R that uses dual-layer recordable discs to store up to 8.5 GB of data.

There are some technical differences between the two, there is also DVD-RAM and Blu-ray now as well. It's a different medium, just a different format of DVD. You should first figure out what your DVD burner supports (should be either on the packaging of the DVD burner or at least on the website of the manufacturer), then you need to figure out what your DVD player on your TV supports (same thing, either on the packaging or webiste), finally, if they both are supported by your recorder and player, get a small pack of both and burn the same movie and see which looks better on your TV. Good luck.

The short answer is the error-correction and data integrity. DVD-Rs have such low error-correction that the error-correction data itself can be screwed up and render otherwise perfectly readable data inaccessible.
DVD+Rs use much better error-correction methods which preserve your data more effectively and more reliably.
The long answer is the link below. It's pretty technical, though. You're looking for the "Why DVD+R?" section.

DVD-R and DVD+R can both only be used once, whether you fill the entire disk or not. I know that +R is slightly better, but either way, I recommend DVD-RW so that you have more than one chance to save data onto the disk.

With the outbreak of World War II, the airline presence in Asia came to a relative halt, with many new flag carriers donating their aircraft for military aid and other uses. Following the end of the war in 1945, regular commercial service was restored in India and Tata Airlines became a public limited company on July 29, 1946, under the name Air India. After the independence of India, 49% of the airline was acquired by the Government of India. In return, the airline was granted status to operate international services from India as the designated flag carrier under the name Air India International.
Many countries have national airlines that the government owns and operates. Fully private airlines are subject to a great deal of government regulation for economic, political, and safety concerns. For instance, governments often intervene to halt airline labor actions to protect the free flow of people, communications, and goods between different regions without compromising safety.
One argument is that positive externalities, such as higher growth due to global mobility, outweigh the microeconomic losses and justify continuing government intervention. A historically high level of government intervention in the airline industry can be seen as part of a wider political consensus on strategic forms of transport, such as highways and railways, both of which receive public funding in most parts of the world. Although many countries continue to operate state-owned or parastatal airlines, many large airlines today are privately owned and are therefore governed by microeconomic principles to maximize shareholder profit.
Toward the end of the century, a new style of low cost airline emerged, offering a no-frills product at a lower price. Southwest Airlines, JetBlue, AirTran Airways, Skybus Airlines and other low-cost carriers began to represent a serious challenge to the so-called "legacy airlines", as did their low-cost counterparts in many other countries.[42] Their commercial viability represented a serious competitive threat to the legacy carriers. However, of these, ATA and Skybus have since ceased operations.
The first French airline was Société des lignes Latécoère, later known as Aéropostale, which started its first service in late 1918 to Spain. The Société Générale des Transports Aériens was created in late 1919, by the Farman brothers and the Farman F.60 Goliath plane flew scheduled services from Toussus-le-Noble to Kenley, near Croydon, England. Another early French airline was the Compagnie des Messageries Aériennes, established in 1919 by Louis-Charles Breguet, offering a mail and freight service between Le Bourget Airport, Paris and Lesquin Airport, Lille.[10]
Panama is an underrated destination in Central America, including the San Blas Islands. This is a popular spot for sailing and boat tours, though there are also some resorts in case you're looking for a more luxurious stay. Generally, the islands are quite rustic and make for a great off-the-grid island getaway. There are tons of beautiful spots for good sailing, diving, and snorkeling.
Airline financing is quite complex, since airlines are highly leveraged operations. Not only must they purchase (or lease) new airliner bodies and engines regularly, they must make major long-term fleet decisions with the goal of meeting the demands of their markets while producing a fleet that is relatively economical to operate and maintain; comparably Southwest Airlines and their reliance on a single airplane type (the Boeing 737 and derivatives), with the now defunct Eastern Air Lines which operated 17 different aircraft types, each with varying pilot, engine, maintenance, and support needs.
The intense nature of airfare pricing has led to the term "fare war" to describe efforts by airlines to undercut other airlines on competitive routes. Through computers, new airfares can be published quickly and efficiently to the airlines' sales channels. For this purpose the airlines use the Airline Tariff Publishing Company (ATPCO), who distribute latest fares for more than 500 airlines to Computer Reservation Systems across the world.
Glad to see you mentioned the Cook Islands – my husband and I went to Rarotonga for a week in 2008 and fell in love with it – can't wait to someday bring our kids back there – they would love it, too! Very few people have actually heard of the Cooks, or know where they are, and while I like the "secrecy" of it, I wish more people would visit! Currently there are only 1-2 flights/week from the US – makes planning trips there a bit tougher!We only took a day trip to Aitutaki because of time, but it was probably the most beautiful place I've ever been. Glad to see you agree!
Thus the last 50 years of the airline industry have varied from reasonably profitable, to devastatingly depressed. As the first major market to deregulate the industry in 1978, U.S. airlines have experienced more turbulence than almost any other country or region. In fact, no U.S. legacy carrier survived bankruptcy-free. Among the outspoken critics of deregulation, former CEO of American Airlines, Robert Crandall has publicly stated:
In 2017, 4.1 billion passengers have been carried by airlines in 41.9 million commercial scheduled flights (an average payload of 98 passengers), for 7.75 trillion passenger kilometres (an average trip of 1890 km) over 45,091 airline routes served globally. In 2016, air transport generated $704.4 billion of revenue in 2016, employed 10.2 million workers, supported 65.5 million jobs and $2.7 trillion of economic activity: 3.6% of the global GDP.[60]

Buy your cheap tickets from us and feel confident that your travel plans will be handled with care: we offer a low rate guarantee, secure and confidential checkout, and toll-free 24/7 customer support.
Airlines often have a strong seasonality, with traffic low in Winter and peaking in Summer. In Europe the most extreme market are the Greek islands with July/August having more than ten times the winter traffic, as Jet2 is the most seasonal among low-cost carriers with July having seven times the January traffic, whereas legacy carriers are much less with only 85/115% variability.[73]
A complicating factor is that of origin-destination control ("O&D control"). Someone purchasing a ticket from Melbourne to Sydney (as an example) for A$200 is competing with someone else who wants to fly Melbourne to Los Angeles through Sydney on the same flight, and who is willing to pay A$1400. Should the airline prefer the $1400 passenger, or the $200 passenger plus a possible Sydney-Los Angeles passenger willing to pay $1300? Airlines have to make hundreds of thousands of similar pricing decisions daily.
In recognition of the essential national economic role of a healthy aviation system, Congress authorized partial compensation of up to $5 billion in cash subject to review by the U.S. Department of Transportation and up to $10 billion in loan guarantees subject to review by a newly created Air Transportation Stabilization Board (ATSB). The applications to DOT for reimbursements were subjected to rigorous multi-year reviews not only by DOT program personnel but also by the Government Accountability Office[46] and the DOT Inspector General.[47][48]

Hawaii's biggest island has everything you could ever want to do and more. But what separates it from the other islands is Volcano National Park. Explore volcanoes, climb through old lava tubes, and watch as new lava oozes into the ocean. Then there are all the waterfalls on the island, too. Big Island has it all. I mean it's Hawaii — how could you go wrong?!
Operating costs for US major airlines are primarily aircraft operating expense including jet fuel, aircraft maintenance, depreciation and aircrew for 44%, servicing expense for 29% (traffic 11%, passenger 11% and aircraft 7%), 14% for reservations and sales and 13% for overheads (administration 6% and advertising 2%). An average US major Boeing 757-200 flies 1,252 mi (2,015 km) stages 11.3 block hours per day and costs $2,550 per block hour : $923 of ownership, $590 of maintenance, $548 of fuel and $489 of crew; or $13.34 per 186 seats per block hour. For a Boeing 737-500, a low-cost carrier like Southwest have lower operating costs at $1,526 than a full service one like United at $2,974, and higher productivity with 399,746 ASM per day against 264,284, resulting in a unit cost of 0.38 $cts/ASM against 1.13 $cts/ASM.[71]
My boyfriend and I will be traveling to Greece on August 1-11th. We have 10 days. Is this a feasible itinerary for a couple in their early 30s who want beach, relaxation, good food, boating, and some history? Fly into Athens have one full day there then fly to Naxos for a day and a half, Milos for 3 nights, then Santorini for 3 nights, then back to Athens for our flight? We chose Milos over Naxos at first, but after reading your blog it seems the beaches in Naxos may be better?
I'm sorry if you covered this in another part of your site, (either I'm technically challenged or there just isn't a search function for your site) but I'm curious about Corfu. From what I can tell, you mentioned it once in your site under your post about best beaches. The Paleokastritsa area is something that has caught my attention for a while and is on my list, and then I saw pictures of Nissakids Bay and that looked kind of amazing.
Easily reached from both Split and Dubrovnik, Lastovo is packed with 15th- and 16th-century architecture, including countless churches in different styles. The island is rich in history, and the main town is full of the various types of architecture, including beautiful Renaissance houses. Lastovo and its surrounding islands is Croatia's newest Nature Park.
Holding the largest number of overwater bungalow resorts in the world (more than 75 and counting), the Maldives understands its best asset is the gin-clear, abundant waters of the Indian Ocean. When you're not snorkeling, diving, or gazing at the rich marine life through the floor windows of your water-top villa, continue enjoying the underwater display while dining at 5.8 Undersea Restaurant, or even while getting pampered in Huvafen Fushi's submerged spa.
This quiet island is waking up. Luxe boutique Zemi Beach House recently opened with classic details and a laid-back vibe that call to the local natural beauty of Shoal Bay East beach. On Merrywing Bay next to sister property CuisinArt Golf Resort & Spa, The Reef by CuisinArt recently unveiled 80 new suites. Here, farm-to-table fare means local fish and fresh produce from the on-site Hydroponic Farm. The Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla took over the former Viceroy Anguilla with villas that overlook white-sand beaches and the rugged coral coastline.
Yes, it's possible. Get the SeaJet ferry from Athens to Mykonos. It should arrive at 9:30am or shortly after. You'll have to hurry to store you're luggage at the Sea and Sky travel agency across from the Old Port and then buy tickets for Delos. The last ferry to Delos leaves at 11am or maybe 11:30am. Ferry to Delos is about 30 minutes. Last ferry back is at 3pm which will give you plenty of time before the last ferry of the day to Naxos (at 6:15pm on SeaJet). All the ferries mention here use the Old Port. Don't book any ferries that use the New Port or you'll have trouble making the connections.
Although Philippine Airlines (PAL) was officially founded on February 26, 1941, its license to operate as an airliner was derived from merged Philippine Aerial Taxi Company (PATCO) established by mining magnate Emmanuel N. Bachrach on December 3, 1930, making it Asia's oldest scheduled carrier still in operation.[52] Commercial air service commenced three weeks later from Manila to Baguio, making it Asia's first airline route. Bachrach's death in 1937 paved the way for its eventual merger with Philippine Airlines in March 1941 and made it Asia's oldest airline. It is also the oldest airline in Asia still operating under its current name.[53] Bachrach's majority share in PATCO was bought by beer magnate Andres R. Soriano in 1939 upon the advice of General Douglas MacArthur and later merged with newly formed Philippine Airlines with PAL as the surviving entity. Soriano has controlling interest in both airlines before the merger. PAL restarted service on March 15, 1941, with a single Beech Model 18 NPC-54 aircraft, which started its daily services between Manila (from Nielson Field) and Baguio, later to expand with larger aircraft such as the DC-3 and Vickers Viscount.
By the early 1920s, small airlines were struggling to compete, and there was a movement towards increased rationalization and consolidation. In 1924, Imperial Airways was formed from the merger of Instone Air Line Company, British Marine Air Navigation, Daimler Airway and Handley Page Transport Co Ltd., to allow British airlines to compete with stiff competition from French and German airlines that were enjoying heavy government subsidies. The airline was a pioneer in surveying and opening up air routes across the world to serve far-flung parts of the British Empire and to enhance trade and integration.[14]
my Name is Julie. for those of view who have never visited tahiti you are seriously missing out. its beautiful and wild and the people are so nice and the weather is great. we got to eat a giant freshly caught tuna and had a big cook out wih tahitian dancers who tell a story about their islands and history. if your looking for paradise tahiti is it do not forget the passports though. you go out and watch the golden sun dance on the water as you watch it set for the night as it gently washes away the stress of busy cities that we live in. i can't wait to go back what an adventure yahoo!
Codesharing is the most common type of airline partnership; it involves one airline selling tickets for another airline's flights under its own airline code. An early example of this was Japan Airlines' (JAL) codesharing partnership with Aeroflot in the 1960s on Tokyo–Moscow flights; Aeroflot operated the flights using Aeroflot aircraft, but JAL sold tickets for the flights as if they were JAL flights. This practice allows airlines to expand their operations, at least on paper, into parts of the world where they cannot afford to establish bases or purchase aircraft. Another example was the Austrian–Sabena partnership on the Vienna–Brussels–New York/JFK route during the late '60s, using a Sabena Boeing 707 with Austrian livery.
In many ways, the biggest winner in the deregulated environment was the air passenger. Although not exclusively attributable to deregulation, indeed the U.S. witnessed an explosive growth in demand for air travel. Many millions who had never or rarely flown before became regular fliers, even joining frequent flyer loyalty programs and receiving free flights and other benefits from their flying. New services and higher frequencies meant that business fliers could fly to another city, do business, and return the same day, from almost any point in the country. Air travel's advantages put long distance intercity railroad travel and bus lines under pressure, with most of the latter having withered away, whilst the former is still protected under nationalization through the continuing existence of Amtrak.
My husband, another couple, and I are planning a trip to Greece in September 2017. We are staying in Milos for a few nights and were planning on staying at Melian Hotel and Spa….do you know anything about this hotel? I was worried about proximity to things, but it looks like no matter what, we are going to need to rent a car or use the bus system to get around. It seemed though that Melian had 6 or 7 restaurant options within walking distance. Also, any ideas or tips on things to do, see, or go?? We plan to do one of those semi private sailing tours, but other than that we are an open book. Thanks so much for any input!
Great list Matt! Indeed, there obviously there are some spots on this globe I have to visit. Can confirm the Maldives though. Has changed over time, but then again, the first time they were still "exploring" their "tourist economy" potential. Been there twice now and although definitely more crowded still holds its appeal. Be prepared for culture shock though. If you return to the "civilised world" you will wonder about the rest of the grubby world and catch yourself day dreaming regularly. 😉
Located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is a chain of 1,000 islands (200 are inhabited, and only 5 have any substantial population). The country is actually just a series of coral atolls that are barely above sea level. During the 2004 Tsunami, many of these islands were completely washed away. The government has built flood barriers to help lessen the impact of any future tsunamis.
Aside from coral, there is a lot of history in Zlarin, dating back to the 13th century. If however, you're more about beaches and beauty, then Zlarin has it covered, and then some! The long sandy beach is ideal for families who want to run free and explore, and the green background gives you that 'castaway' feel. You won't find a lot of hotels on the island, though. Instead, there is wonderful private accommodation, which helps you get that home-away-from-home vibe to your break.
The Island of Hawaii (i.e., the Big Island) contains 10 of the world's 14 climate zones — the only spot on the planet with so many condensed into one small region. Lush tropical terrain rules the green, wet, windward side of the island (see Akaka Falls and Waianuenue/Rainbow Falls), while more arid beauty is on display at Hapuna Beach Park. You can even enter an ice climate at the mystical summit of Mauna Kea volcano, as well as Lake Waiau, one of the highest lakes in the United States.


Add some edge to your ensemble with this stunning Gucci leather jacket.

•Add the celery, some salt and pepper and the beer. Let reduce.
Leave the roast in for 6 hrs… Then take it out, remove the peppers if you pit in the chipotles, and pull it apart with a couple of forks. It lasts in the fridge for days and can be used with a ton of different sides, or throw it in a bun for the boys or for a BBQ. Everyone will love it!

'Sculthorpe is as central to Australia's music as Aaron Copland is to America's music.' Kronos Quartet
Born in Launceston, Tasmania in 1929, Sculthorpe was educated at Launceston Church Grammar School, the University of Melbourne, and Wadham College, Oxford. He was Emeritus Professor at the University of Sydney, where he began teaching in 1964, a Harkness Fellow at Yale University, USA, and a visiting professor at Sussex University, UK, in 1971-72.
Sculthorpe's rich and varied compositions (including an astonishing eighteen string quartets) are regularly performed and recorded throughout the world. His preoccupation with Australian landscape, environmental issues and the frailty of the human condition can be heard in works such as Earth Cry (1986) and Requiem (2003). The latter grew from his concern about women and children killed in the war in Iraq. While his String Quartet No. 16 (2006) addressed the plight of asylum-seekers in Australia detention centres, his String Quartet No. 18 (2010) was devoted to climate change. His output relates closely to the unique social and physical characteristics of Australia, and to the cultures of its Pacific Basin neighbours. Influences included much of the music of Asia - especially that of Japan and Indonesia – and, later, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island music and culture.
Appointed OBE in 1977 and AO in 1990, Sculthorpe was elected one of Australia's Living National Treasures in 1998 and was recipient of a Silver Jubilee Medal. An Honorary Foreign Life Member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, he held honorary doctorates from the universities of Tasmania, Melbourne, Sussex, Griffith and Sydney and in 2011 was awarded the Encomienda de la Orden de Isabel la Católica by Juan Carlos I of Spain. Sculthorpe died in 2014.

More about successful career and private life of this famous musician you can read in the text below.
As we already mentioned in the introduction the real and born name of rapper G-Eazy is Gerard Earl Gillum.
He was born on May 24th 1989 in Oakland, California, United States of America (USA).
According to some sources he has mixed origin that include Dutch, French, German, Irish, and Austrian descent and according to other sources he has Ukrainian roots.
He spent his early years by playing with his younger brother named James Wolcott Gillum plays trumpet so both of brothers are musicians.
Unfortunately, their mother named Suzanne and their father Eduard who was art professor got divorced when G-Eazy was the pupil of the first grade.
After they split up his mother began relationship with a woman under name Melissa Mills so G-Eazy was confused about his mother's sexual orientation according to the fact that he was very young in that period.
After that surprise and big shock for him he moved to Berkley where he started to live with his grandparents.
G-Eazy enrolled the school in Berkley. Later they moved to North Oakland although G-Eazy didn't leave the school in Berkley so he continue his education there.
G-Eazy started to develop his music career during his college days. He enrolled the Music Industry Studies at the Loyola University in New Orleans where he met music producer named Christopher Andersson who also attended studies on that college.

Q: MomentJS using 'm' to add a month gives unexpected result I'm using Moment.js and for some (probably basic) reason I'm not getting the result I'm expecting:
let date = moment("1995-01-25");
date.add(2, 'm');
console.log(date.month());  // Expected 2, outputs 0

A: You have to use uppercase M for adding months, lowercase m stands for minutes, see add docs:
Key     | Shorthand
-------------------
months  | M
minutes | m

Here a working sample:

let date = moment("1995-01-25");
date.add(2, 'm');
console.log(date.month());
console.log(date.format()); //1995-01-25T00:02:00

let date2 = moment("1995-01-25");
date2.add(2, 'M');
console.log(date2.month());  // 2
console.log(date2.format()); // 1995-03-25T00:00:00

Michael Leonard Witham has a voice like an angel on whiskey.

I was tired when I turned it on, and I wanted the night over, but as soon as he started singing, I had to stop. It`s all rusty, strung-out, sick-sweet, raw-rubble folk and it only makes me wonder, What the hell does he feel, that he can make those sorts of sounds?

This is too cool for metaphors.
Haynes Brookes has set it upon himself to carry the musical tradition first tailored by his great-grandfather Henry. This Civil War veteran founded the "Smythe County Mongrels Society", a band unified by a love of music, Psalms, and hard cider. When Haynes discovered his rockin' roots, he fostered his own reincarnation of the group. So the New Mongrels were born.
Raised Incorruptible, released in the earliest days of 2014, is the band's first album since 1998. With such a gap between installments, one is never sure what may be gained or lost. As far as I can see, The New Mongrels have retained their charms. They're relaxed, salty-sweet, a glass of lemonade (or cider?) left on a porch.
A project like this proves creation can inspire, no matter the time of its conception. Music is burned into our genetics, our instincts, our evolution. Even if the archives burn and the tracks are deleted, the spirit perseveres.
Creativity is far from a modern concoction. It's part of the human condition.
Ever wonder how the Beatles would have sounded if they were a sister duo? No? You're about to find out regardless.
The MonaLisa Twins hail from Austria, where they started out singing covers and releasing the results on Youtube. Creativity is a forceful drug (as many of us know), and it wasn't long until Mona and Lisa (yes, those are their actual names) were stitching quilts of original music. When We're Together is their debut album, and while I'm one year late in my discovery, their poppy 60's throwback is still fresh.
I find their act endearing, if not a wee bit twee. Though really, what sort of indie folk is without a spoonful of the saccharine? And the cute doesn't stop with their recordings. The music video for the album's title track is swamped with sweetness.
The way I see it, that's what these girls want to do: make people smile. Thus far, they're getting it right.
Rising star Mikky Ekko, the American singer-songwriter who exploded onto the scene with his beautiful duet with Rihanna, is currently preparing the release of his first major-label studio album. With the prepping comes the just-released Kids, the official lead single. Produced by Benny Blanco + John Hill, Kids is a lovable pop song that fuses strings with bittersweet synths, mixing contemporary electronic elements with Mikky's folk edge.
iTunes has placed the spotlight this week on an artist by the name of Jake Bugg. I'm thrilled that his work is receiving attention, for he is the definition of a true musician. Single Lightning Bolt puts many artists on the charts to shame, showcasing raw talent.
His music style is very old-fashioned and vintage-sounding, which makes it even more intriguing for genuine music lovers like myself.
Take a listen to Lightning Bolt and judge for yourself.
ROB BRAYL: I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of the new album ('Wax Wings', due out May 7th), and it's an exquisite record! You MUST be getting butterflies leading up to its release?
JOSHUA RADIN: I am but mainly because I'm self-releasing a record for the first time. It's scary but fun.
RB: I'm literally sitting here with my headphones on, trying to pick a favorite track from the record. I'm having a hard time, but I'm leaning towards 'Your Rainy Days' and 'Like They Used To'. May I ask your personal favorite?
JR: Thank you so much! Well, that's nice to hear. I guess if I had to pick a favorite it would be 'Back To Where I'm From'.
RB: Being that this site is known for spotlighting indie artists, I was particularly fixated on the fact that you chose to release your new album independently. What was your frame of mind regarding this move?
JR: I like releasing music more often than most labels will allow. So I'm going at it on my own in order to put more music out into the world.
RB: I understand the title comes from Greek mythology. Can you speak on this a little bit?
JR: In several past songs, I've referred to my love as the sun. The album title is a reference to the myth of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun on wings made of wax and feathers. The wings melted and he fell, just as I have, over and over again. Sometimes I think love is something I'll never get too close to again, and other times I feel the confidence to fly too closely to it.
RB: Obviously rap will never be an influence in your work, but since you're from Cleveland and all, I have to ask: What do you think of Cleveland rapper Machine Gun Kelly?
JR: To be honest, I don't know who that is.
RB: Speaking of influences, what is your driving force when creating music?
RB: I always ask this, because it's fun… Current guilty pleasure(s)?
RB: If I were to steal your iPod, are there any artists I may be surprised to find?
JR: Probably not. But who knows? I like all kinds of music.
RB: I saw you perform last year here in the city and actually met you very briefly after the show. You seemed as genuine and real as your music and I think it shows in your performances. The connection you have with the audience is incredibly honest. Are you planning on touring with the new material?
JR: Thank you! I try really hard to connect with everyone during live performances. I am going to tour this record but in just a few intimate venues in just a few cities. I spent half of last year on the road and I'm a little burnt. I'm needing home right now.
RB: It's a well-known fact that you performed at Ellen DeGeneres' wedding. I just wanted to end this interview by saying thank you for supporting gay rights. We love you!
JR: [Laughs] Yes, I did, and I do. She is an amazing woman as is her wife.
I would like to take a moment to introduce you to English singer/songwriter Ben Howard. He's been getting a ton of buzz recently, and rightfully so. His latest video for Keep Your Head Up has over 6 million views, and the song itself works its timeless tunesmith magic best upon repeated listens. I promise, you will be hooked to this track in no time.
However, let us not forget about the rest of his album, Every Kingdom(available now on iTunes). Coming from someone who appreciates well-crafted musicianship from serious singers/songwriters, Ben is at the top of my list, next to artists such as David Gray and Nick Drake.
Come February, he will be hitting the road with Mumford & Sons. I can only imagine how excited he must be, having his music heard by thousands on 15 dates all over the globe. This tour has already sold out venues including Melbourne, Australia's The Corner Hotel! Mumford & Sons are huge, so this will grant exposure to countless new and current fans.
Well-deserved attention for an artist you simply must know.
There is no denying that American music has recently joined forces with folk, crossing the genre over to mainstream success with bands such as The Swell Season and The Lumineers. Following these acts is The Lone Bellow, a band on the rise with their single Bleeding Out, which is currently sitting for free over at iTunes as the featured single of the week.
I fell in love with this three-piece from Brooklyn after they captured my attention touring with The Civil Wars (before the band's hiatus). Their sound is timeless, playing an insanely catchy style of country and gospel-inflected folk that is heartfelt, raw, and amazing.
Their self-titled debut record will be released on January 22nd, and I cannot wait to see what else this band has to offer.
In the meantime, bask in the glory of Bleeding Out (live) below.

"Udonis Haslem has spent time in County, Montrezl Harrell is a goon, while P.J. Tucker played without shoes": Kendrick Perkins shares his First Team All Back Alley
Home » Basketball » "Udonis Haslem has spent time in County, Montrezl Harrell is a goon, while P.J. Tucker played without shoes": Kendrick Perkins shares his First Team All Back Alley
Former NBA champion and ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins shares his First Team All Back Alley. Big Perk's list comprises some of the toughest players in the league that even superstars wouldn't want to face.
The NBA comprises several types of players, some that are great at offense. While some that are elite defenders. However, some players are known for their hustle on the court. These pro athletes might not have the talent of a Michael Jordan or LeBron James but are equally if not more important in a team.
Such players can also indulge in some dirty plays, but that's what makes them unique. These players tread on that thin line of what is an ethical or non-ethical play. Even the greats like Michael Jordan needed a Dennis Rodman, and LeBron James needed a Udonis Haslem.
Some of these players may average single digits in their careers but are fan favorites. It's their attitude and ability to hold the roster together that sets them apart from others. The best player on the roster doesn't need to be the leader of the team.

During a recent episode of ESPN's NBA Today, Kendrick Perkins paid tribute to these back alley players by picking his current top 5 players.
Kendrick Perkins names his First Team All Back Alley.
The former Celtics player combined a list of the top 5 toughest players right now in the NBA. Big Perk introduced the segment saying guys he wouldn't want to see if he was walking down a dark alley.
Perkin's list comprised the following players.
Udonis Haslem
Patrick Beverly
P.J. Tucker
This who made First Team All Back Alley. The 5 toughest guys that I wouldn't want to see walking through a Dark Alley! Carry the hell on… pic.twitter.com/k8ELsoyd9E
— Kendrick Perkins (@KendrickPerkins) November 12, 2021
While addressing P.J. Tucker, Perkins said the reigning NBA champion grew up in an area with only two stoplights and played without shoes. Tucker's defense played a significant part in the Bucks' quest for an NBA championship.
The ESPN analyst addressed Montrezl Harrell as a goon. The former sixth player of the year had a disappointing stint with the LA Lakers. However, he is proving his mettle with the Washington Wizards. Harrell was at the sixth spot in the recently updated MVP list.
Though Patrick Beverly doesn't enjoy a great camaraderie among his peers, he can be a defensive pest for the opposition. A case in point is his Christmas day performance against LeBron James and the Lakers.
A former MMA athlete, James Johnson's other skills include kickboxing and Karate. The veteran is an enforcer on the court and is not afraid of taking one for the team.
According to Perkins, Udonis Haslem tops the list of the toughest players in the league. The Miami Heat veteran is a locker room leader, despite playing on rare occasions. However, the three-time champion is a hothead. A case in point is his altercation with Dwight Howard last season. Haslem was ejected from the game, after barely playing any minutes.

Thirty seconds isn't a significant amount of time, especially when talking about TV time. Sometimes those 30 seconds aren't even noticeable to the audience, because people don't watch TV for the commercials. That's why finding the right way to impact and generate attention is so crucial when brainstorming, creating, and producing a spot. Those 30 seconds of time are critical for the client's business and their agency's reputation. That's why every second, word, and scene we decide to feature in a commercial has to be effective.
In the advertising world, the entire process of creation and production for a campaign consisting of usually three, 30-second commercials can account for more than 2,000 hours of work from merely one individual at an agency. Yes, you read that right. Over 2,000 hours of one single person working looks something like this: exhausting days, long nights, countless cups of coffee, meeting presentations, discussions, decisions, many phone calls, sketches, story boards, meetings with the client, among many other steps unbeknownst to the casual TV viewer.
So, how can something that short require so much labor? Well, that's the crux of this topic. Since the commercials go so fast, every second created must be on-point and carefully crafted to get the message across in a concise, yet highly effective manner. So, let's take a look at the important steps involved when creating a "short," 30-second commercial.
which is a clear outline of information discussed between the client and the agency. It's written so everyone at the agency can understand the business needs, purpose of communication, objectives, target audience, characteristics of the featured product(s), and campaign timelines. Those are just a few things highlighted in a brief, among many others, before the first creative neuron is even activated.
Now, the agency digests the information provided so the process can begin. Research and Strategic Planning teams begin working hard to define a complete creative brief that includes consumer insights, a description of the brand personality, creative thought starters, and many other mandatory elements for the brand. Ultimately, all of the pieces come together to spark those creative neurons and inspire agency creatives to find the different approaches required to face the challenge head-on.
Once the creative team begins, they undergo long sessions of brainstorming, filtering, internal criticism, presentations, and in-house approvals. It's not an easy process because every person around the idea -the participants and the spectators- have an opinion. After reaching 10-15 more creative options in line with the brief, the agency has to whittle their list down to roughly three. That will give the client a range of options to choose from that are all centered around the previously defined business objective.
Having the ability to "sell" these ideas internally is, at times, more challenging than gaining the actual client's approval. It's common knowledge in the advertising industry that the most difficult clients for creatives aren't even the clients, but instead, the agency's internal teams.
As a creative head, this is one of the most exciting moments, because this is when you are able to discover who leads with the 'trendsetter' mindset or the 'safe' mindset team. The key is to not get distracted by comments that aren't aligned with the strategy or business objective that was approved earlier by the client. Because at the end of the day, creative is subjective and the range of solutions for the same problem can be as immense as the universe surrounding us.
Everyone inside the agency now loves the ideas? Great!
Now it's time to write the final scripts for these three different approaches, touch up the taglines, create the mood boards and storyboards, adjust the presentation, put together some references for the client, set the meetings, and then face the nerve-racking day of getting the initial approvals. In regard to initial approvals, there's usually a tiered hierarchy of people to sign-off on ideas in many typical client structures. This can be quite the challenge since we need to align all different levels and subjectivity under one idea… but for the most part, it's usually a fun time.
If everything stays on track with the strategy and we perfectly follow the creative brief guidelines, the new challenge comes in the form of presenting the idea, or "selling it," to the client. In a perfect world, this would be a piece-of-cake, but that's not always the case. Since creative is very subjective, ideas can go back and forth until the client's team unanimously agrees on it and the agency feels it's the best approach.
Once everything is approved, the idea/concept is tested many times in front of small groups of consumers, just to verify the message is clear, effective, and accomplishes the desired objective. Once that process is done, the results are received and the twists in the ideas are implemented and approved. The second big step of the process has just begun, which means its production time! The fun's not over yet, so join us next week for Part-2!


Is IAS job a better option than doing MTECH or MBA after getting the BTECH degree from a renowned university ?? And is MBA a better option than MTECH after BTECH ??
Which will be better option for IAS or RAS preparations between MBA and M.Tech?
Re: Which option is better after Btech ?? IAS or Mtech or MBA ??
Yes,It is one of the most common question in all the candidates who have completed their graduation.Most of the candidates are unable to choose the right decision,here i'm providing you a best solution for this question.
If You go for IAS Preparation.It is not yet all possible to get the job within a Year or Two Years.It is a Complete dedication about the study and You should not think in any other aspects even in the sleep also.You have to be patience if you are not qualified in the first time.You must try again and again,some time it may take 5 Years or in some times it may take 10 Years also.So You should think about your financial status then You can go for IAS Course.
But in My opinion IAS is a most respected course in India but it is very difficult to get the job immediately.
Coming to other query,MBA and M.Tech which one to Prefer?Yes,Most of the Engineering Candidates are taking a wrong step here.You should think whether you able to manage Engineering.If Not,MBA is the Excellent Option for you.M.Tech and MBA both are Post Graduation Courses and Professional Courses.You can find opportunities in the both courses.
M.Tech is a Technical Course Where as MBA is a Management Course.You can find plenty Of Opportunities with MBA Course.But If You do MBA From Top Management Schools then only it is possible to get good opportunities with huge packages in the top ranked multi national companies.Of Course Even with M.Tech also You can find number Of good opportunities but it may not be possible to get packages equal with a top Management Institute candidates.They will be having more chance to get good packages and They can be placed directly in Middle level Management and Top Level Management cadres.
How can i self check?
You know very well ,You are eligible for M./Tech,MBA,All India Civil Services .
You have to take All India Civil Service Exam .
Those Exams like CAT/MAT/CMAT/any State Level MBA Entrance Test etc..
after B tech all three are best. if you want to study further then you should do MBA or M.tech. IAS is not a degree. it is a service.
firstly we talk about the MBA or M tech.
MBA or M tech both are good courses and both have many scopes after that. MBA is a management course where as M.tech is a technical course.
as you have done B.tech then it is best for you to do M tech.
MBA- master in business administration. it is a master degree and 2 years course. it is a management course and it has many scopes after that you will get good job and also get good salary package.
there are many courses in MBA. all have many scopes in their fields. you can choose anyone of them for your carrier.
it is also a good course and it has many scopes after that you will get good job in many companies and you will also get good salary package as compare to the MBA.
and i think it is best course for the B tech student.
most of the students prefer this course for their carrier after the B tech. but now a days most of the student prefer MBA for their carrier, and i think you should do some different for the future. that it will be not difficult for you to get good job after the M tech and you will also get good job after M tech as compare to the MBA.
so i think it is best to do M tech.
and you can also apply for the IAS exam for this you need graduation in nay field with minimum 55% marks.
and there are three steps for the IAS. this exam is conducted by the UPSC twice in a year.
you can also apply for the IES exam. this test is only for the engineers. as you have done B tech then you are eligible for the IES exam. this exams is also conducted by the UPSC.
so i think you should apply for the IES exam because it is only for the engineers.
for this you should study the entire syllabus which you have studied in 11th, 12th and in B tech. so do hard work for the preparation.
i think ias is best .
No Doubt a MBA from a good university is far better than anything else.
Don't be confused with the old traditional mentality.
Administration is not a big deal but managing a global business is not that easy.
Interview and sometimes people will reach to the third level and does no get selected.
So I would Suggest you that you should carry you studies in M.tech and prepare IAS respectably if you can take Both the pressure together. I am not suggesting MBA because you already Student of B.Tech so it is easier you to understand M.tech and the career and growth wise I dont think there is any difference between MBA & M.Tech.
So Go with M.Tech with IAS or according to you which is possible.
i m doing my b.tech in electrical engg. from CHARUSAT university.
i want to know which is better option m.tech or MBA after doing b.tech in electrical engg.??
hie.. i m dng my b.tech in electrical engg. from CHARUSAT university.
i want to knw which one is better option m.tech or MBA after dng electrical engg.???
I'm doing my b-tech from civil stream.i want to know which is the better IAS or M-tech..??
I am doing my btech in IT in charusat........... i m in second semester.... what should i go for mba or mtech?
After B.tech you can do MBA , because MBA is good option if you but its not surety about Government job , For getting Govt. job you can prepare for many entrance exams , such as UPSC EXAMS , so if you are actually want to do a government job then IAS (INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE ) is a good option for you .
But for IAS you have to study very hard , well i would suggest you after B.TECH you can either go for MBA or else if you have set your mind for IAS then its good & study hard for clearing prelims .
If you are preparing for IAS so there is nothing better then that actually it is not just about the job if you make it clear it will be a pride for you. This job gives you status Power and security as well. but it is a toughest sector as well to clear any exam as there is three section may you already know that PRE, Mains, Interview and sometimes people will reach to the third level and does no get selected.
So I would Suggest you that you should carry you studies in M.tech and prepare IAS respectably if you can take Both the pressure together. I am not suggesting MBA because you already Student of B.Tech so it is easier you to understand M.tech and the career and growth wise I don't think there is any difference between MBA & M.Tech. So Go with M.Tech with IAS or according to you which is possible.
sir, i am interested in preparing civils....along with this i want to do my MBA.....is it prefarable to do after b.tech???
Without a doubt,It is just about the most prevalent query out of all individuals who seem to have finished their graduation.Most of the individuals will be incapable to select the appropriate selection,listed here i am providing you with a most practical answer for this question.
In the event that You choose IAS Preparation.It just isn't but many possible to find the work within a 12 months as well as Not one but two Years.It is often a Complete determination with regards to the investigation along with It's not necassary to believe in a alternative facets in the particular snooze also.You have to be fortitude discover capable around the earliest time.You have to attempt over and over,a little while it could take 5 Decades maybe in some times it could take 10 Decades also.So You should think of your current fiscal rank then You can go for IAS Course.
However in My IAS is often a almost all revered course around India yet it is quite hard to find the work immediately.
On its way for some other question,MBA along with M.Tech which want you to Have a preference for?Without a doubt,A lot of the Design People are taking a wrong action here.You will need to believe whether people equipped to handle Engineering.If Certainly not,MBA may be the Great Option for you.M.Tech along with MBA are Post Graduation Classes along with Specialized Courses.You can locate prospects around the both courses.
M.Tech is often a Technical Program In which since MBA is often a Administration Course.You can locate plenty Involving Chances using MBA Course.But In the event that One does MBA Coming from Major Administration Educational institutions then just it is easy to acquire excellent prospects using massive plans around the very best ranked multiple national companies.Of Program Despite having M.Tech furthermore You will discover amount Of a good prospects nevertheless it might not be possible to get plans identical using a highly regarded Administration Institute candidates.They will likely be owning more chance to get excellent plans along with They usually are located specifically around Centre place Administration along with Major Levels Administration cadres.
In the event that You want to do MBA Program coming from Company Educational institutions then attempt eighteen, you are MAT as well as CAT Front door exams.You should get in excess of 90 percentile around CAT as well as MAT Front door assessments then just it is easy to acquire admissions around Major Company Schools.
Hence I would Advocate people that you simply bring people studies around M.tech along with put together IAS respectably whenever you can take Both the strain together. I am not advising MBA since you witout a doubt Student with B.Tech so it will be much easier anyone to comprehend M.tech as well as vocation along with increase intelligent I never believe there may be any distinction between MBA & M.Tech.
Which is good MBA or M.Tech after B.Tech?
Is UPSC after MBA a good option? Pay scale of an IAS/IFS officer?


If a building needs three phase power to power some machinery, it's best to convert the single phase to three phase using a three phase rotary converter. We blogged last week about what single phase to three phase power is. You can learn more about it here.
To recap from last week's blog, a business owner may need to convert power from single phase to three phase because he/she has machinery that needs to utilize three phase power. Single phase is usually found in residential homes to power house appliances that require 120v or 240v. Three phase power is usually in commercial or industrial buildings to power big equipment and appliances.
What Is A Three Phase Rotary Converter?
A three phase rotary converter converts single phase power to three phase power, without the need to re-wire an entire building for three phase power. It maintains a balanced, stable three phase power source to run machines that need it.
It makes sense to install and utilize a three phase rotary converter when there isn't a lot of equipment and machinery necessary to run on three phase. If there is, then it would probably be beneficial to skip the conversion method, and wire the building for three phase.
How Does A Three Phase Rotary Converter Work?
Three phase rotary converters, like the North America Phase Converter Co. brand we used in our last job, converts single phase to three phase by using an idler (induction generator). The idler is energized by the single phase lines, and then the idler produces a third leg of power. The two single phase lines are then joined by the third leg of power from the idler to become three phase power.
The idler is the brain of the rotary converter. It allows certain machines and appliances with big motors to run like elevators, certain heaters, large cooking equipment, table saws, welding machines, lasers, etc. Basically anything that needs three phase power to operate, the idler in the three phase rotary converter is responsible for supplying balanced and steady voltage for these things to run properly.
Who Can Install My Three Phase Rotary Converter?
Hire a licensed electrician to install your three phase rotary converter. An electrician will be able to properly wire it up to code for safety and compliance. An electrician will know how to install everything that needs to be installed for the converter to properly and efficiently work, which can include a sub panel, disconnect, and transformer.

South Africa's original sin
Twenty-five years after apartheid, white rule might be over, but the minority still owns the majority of land.
It's the foundation that apartheid in South Africa was built on: the theft of indigenous land. It's a problem not even Nelson Mandela could solve. Many South Africans have learned that taking land back is complicated, and some want to do it by force.
With less than a week before the general election, we look at how land motivates some to vote out of fear, and others out of frustration.
Unpacking South Africa's fraught and complex land debate

Rising population, urbanization and infrastructure development in all states around the world has resulted in rapid growth of the construction industry. This in turn has led to the ever-increasing demand for various types of construction raw materials and construction machinery; that are widely used to construct strong and durable structures, buildings, roads etc.
On every construction site there exists a diverse range of construction machinery for faster, easier and safer constructions. Today, there are several manufacturers supplying high quality concrete construction equipment including concrete batching plant, transit mixer, concrete pump etc.
Concrete Batching plants are equipments that are designed and manufactured for mixing various mortars; and to produce large quantities of concrete by mixing raw materials such as sand, gravel, water, cement, fly ash, crushed rocks, potash and other ingredients.
They have a variety of applications that include construction of roads, highways, canals, bridges, dams, factories, buildings, drainage pipes, precast concrete components etc. A concrete batch plant essentially comprises of concrete mixers, cement batchers, conveyors, stackers, cement bins, heaters, chillers, control panels and dust collectors.
Nowadays, manufacturers of concrete construction equipment incorporate the latest technology to eliminate raw material storage space, avoid raw material wastage, reuse wastewater, decrease noise and dust pollution; reduce production time, increase safety and deliver automatic, computer aided concrete batch plants to assure exact input of materials and better quality of output.
A concrete batch plant may be portable or stationary as required for a particular construction location. Ready mix plant is a popular model manufactured by concrete batch plant manufacturers to prepare top grade ready mix concrete within short time at a reduced cost.
A ready mix concrete plant blends all the constituents except water at the concrete plant. This mixture is released into a truck mounted transit mixer and water is later added during transportation to the required location. Whereas, a site mix concrete plant mixes all the required ingredients including water at the construction site to produce a consistent product.
A robust and long-lasting concrete foundation for any type of domestic, commercial or industrial structure is the primary objective of all construction activities around the globe. Hence, only reliable concrete construction machinery manufacturers can ensure premium grade equipments for trouble-free operations and minimum downtime with prompt after sales service and customer support to provide higher returns on investment.

Disneyland Park visitors will be able to purchase the exclusive bottles starting May 31.
Disney has partnered with Coca-Cola to create "Star Wars"-inspired drinks that will be sold exclusively at its upcoming Galaxy's Edge theme-park lands in Disney World and Disneyland Park.
Coca-Cola, Sprite, and Diet Coke will be sold in circular containers with rustic labels, while Dasani will be packaged in slim bottles.
The brand names on all four drinks will be written in Aurebesh, a language featured in "Star Wars" films.
Galaxy's Edge opens at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California, on May 31, and at Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, on August 29.
Not only will you soon be able to dress like a Jedi at Disney theme parks, but you'll also be able to eat and drink like one too.
Disney has announced that it has partnered with Coca-Cola to create "Star Wars"-themed soda and water that will be sold exclusively at the upcoming Galaxy's Edge theme-park lands.
Special versions of Coca-Cola, Sprite, Diet Coke, and Dasani will be sold with unique packaging designs.
You can purchase "Star Wars"-themed water or soda.
The three included sodas will be packaged in "spherical 'orb' bottles" with geometric caps, while Dasani will be packaged in slim bottles, according to a press release from Coca-Cola.
Each bottle will look rustic and scuffed.
But don't be surprised if you can't read the labels of all four drinks. Rather than covering each bottle with brand names like "Diet Coke" and "Sprite," these exclusive drinks are labeled in Aurebesh, a language featured in "Star Wars" films.
Coca-Cola labels will be printed in Aurebesh throughout the land.
In a Coca-Cola press release, Scott Trowbridge, the portfolio creative executive and studio leader of Walt Disney Imagineering, said the "Star Wars"-themed bottles will help to create a more authentic experience for parkgoers.
"We've worked very hard to make sure that every detail feels authentic and consistent with what a real 'Star Wars' location would provide," he continued.
To create the "Star Wars"-themed designs, Disney and Coca-Cola developed multiple prototypes in varying shapes and sizes over the course of three years.
Customers can buy the bottles at Galaxy's Edge theme-park lands when they open in Disney World and Disneyland Park, but prices have not yet been released.
You'll feel like you're in a "Star Wars" film when walking through the park.
Each Galaxy's Edge park will cover 14 acres of land, and include two "Star Wars"-themed rides. Visitors will also encounter characters like BB-8 and Chewbacca as they walk through.
Galaxy's Edge in Anaheim, California, opens on May 31, and the Orlando, Florida, destination will open on August 29.
Representatives for Coca-Cola did not immediately respond to INSIDER's request for comment.
We got a detailed look at Disney's upcoming 'Star Wars' land. Here's what's inside.

New Interactive Map and Timeline Added to Chronicling America
July 14, 2022 by Amber Paranick
This post was written by Nathan Yarasavage, a Digital Projects Specialist in the Library's Serial and Government Publications Division.
Chronicling America* users can now browse the collection's thousands of digitized historical newspapers using an interactive map and timeline recently launched by the Library of Congress. The new "Exploring Chronicling America Newspapers" application dynamically maps publication locations of over 3,000 digitized newspapers currently available in the Chronicling America online collection. Users can also interact with a timeline of publication dates for digitized newspapers available in Chronicling America, currently covering years between 1777-1963. Powered by the Esri ArcGIS Instant Apps platform, the map and timeline are updated weekly to include the latest additions to the collection. Users can also download the currently updated dataset underlying the new features to create their own custom data visualizations or analyses.
Screenshot shows the default view of the new "Exploring Chronicling America Newspapers" interactive map and timeline.
Chronicling America provides access to millions of historic American newspaper pages digitized through the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP). Program partners select and contribute digitized newspapers published in their states or territories, creating the national collection. All of the newspapers are in the public domain and have no known copyright restrictions. To facilitate a wide range of potential uses of the newspaper data, in addition to providing the ability to search and browse historic newspaper pages on the web, Chronicling America offers a well-documented application programming interface (API). For over a decade, researchers and scholars have used the API to interface with Chronicling America data leading to a variety of projects based on digitized historical newspapers. In 2019, the NDNP team at the Library of Congress released their first set of interactive data visualizations, designed to better inform researchers of the scope and coverage of the newspapers available in Chronicling America. These included several different types of data visualizations describing the newspapers' locations, dates, subjects, languages, and quantities. In addition, since 2018, under a program spearheaded by the Geography and Map Division, collection specialists from across the Library of Congress have produced Story Maps about the hidden and not-so-hidden collections of the Library. Also created within the Esri Geographic Information Systems (GIS)-based software platform, Story Maps combines text, images, multimedia, and interactive maps featuring Library collections to create immersive online experiences, placing the collections in context around a central theme. The Library is continuing to explore new ArcGIS tools, such as Instant Apps and Dashboards, to publish and visualize its massive collections.
Using the Map and Timeline
The new interactive map and timeline uses the ArcGIS Instant Apps web mapping platform to build upon the foundation of the earlier Chronicling America data visualizations and the experience of the Library's use of Story Maps. The "Exploring Chronicling America Newspapers" application is particularly useful to researchers who know the approximate date range(s) and geographic area(s) they want to research but don't know the extent of coverage (if any) available for digitized newspapers available in Chronicling America. To answer the common "What do you have from…" question, users can interactively explore newspaper publisher locations with the ArcGIS dynamic mapping platform that powers the application. The map's zoom controls will reveal additional details such as county and city names. Users can click on a dot to see the details about a newspaper and follow the links to view digitized issues in Chronicling America. In specific areas with multiple newspaper publications, dots will typically appear clustered around the city center.
Researchers can access the timeline feature by clicking the clock icon in the lower left-hand corner of the map. The dates in this time slider represent publication dates for digitized newspapers available in Chronicling America. Users adjust the slider to narrow the date range of newspaper publications included on the currently displayed dynamic map. It is important to note that while Chronicling America provides access to over 3,000 newspaper titles, this is a representative sample of American historical newspapers. In many cases, not all issues of specific titles are digitized. Meanwhile, Chronicling America is continuing to grow, and new content is added to the database every week.
Screenshot shows state-level detail of interactive map as well as the publication timeline at the bottom of the map.
Application Development Process
The new map and timeline application uses efficient automation procedures to remain up-to-date with the ongoing additions to Chronicling America on a weekly basis. The first step of the process involves a simple python script that interacts with the Chronicling America API to collect basic metadata about all available digitized newspapers. The metadata retrieved in this step includes the newspaper names, publication locations, dates, and quantities of digitized issues available in the system. A second script adds geo-coordinates corresponding to the publication locations to complete the updated dataset. The full dataset is loaded into the ArcGIS Instant Apps tools to create the interactive map and timeline.
While most of this process is automated, there are rare occurrences when staff must intervene. Because the newspapers in this collection are historical and most data sources for geo-visualization are based on present day place names, occasional location mismatches are found. Chronicling America includes a small number of newspapers published in ghost towns or towns that no longer exist on modern maps. Additionally, in some areas of the United States, such as Alaska and Louisiana, the concept of a county as an administrative or political subdivision of a state varies or such data may be missing from the newspaper metadata altogether. These types of data anomalies, although rare, must be corrected on a case by case basis.
For users who wish to directly access the metadata used in the visualization application, a CSV file is available for download.
Screenshot shows county-level detail of interactive map as well as the link to a downloadable CSV file of newspaper title data used in the map.
Looking Forward with ArcGIS Instant Apps
The "Exploring Chronicling America Newspapers" map and timeline is the first application to use the ArcGIS Instant Apps platform at the Library of Congress. The app was developed by Ting Dai from the IT Design & Development group in close collaboration with the User Experience Design team, Serial and Government Publications Division, Geography and Map Division, and the Geospatial Hosting Environment group, all at the Library of Congress. The processes described above represent the initial phase of development for this application. Further exploration on refining the process and adding features is ongoing and future releases of the map are planned.
According to Tim St. Onge, Cartographer and GIS analyst in the Geography and Map Division, "Instant Apps is an exciting platform that allows the Library of Congress to publish web maps that explore our collections and work. Building off our successes in using Story Maps over the last few years, we think Instant Apps offers a great opportunity to broaden our understanding of our collections and their stories through the lens of geography. Starting with this excellent web map of newspapers in the Chronicling America collection, we hope to expand the use of Instant Apps and awareness of the benefits of web mapping across the Library."
For more information, you can view additional Chronicling America data visualizations or contact National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) staff at the Library of Congress.
