Bettany Hughes won a bursary to attend Notting Hill and Ealing High School in Ealing. She was awarded an entrance scholarship to St Hilda's College, Oxford, where she earned a degree with second-class honours in ancient and modern history.
She is currently a research fellow at King's College London, a tutor for Cambridge University's Institute of Continuing Education, an honorary fellow at Cardiff University, and the recipient of an honorary doctorate at the University of York.
Hughes has written two books on Ancient Greek subjects. Her first, Helen of Troy: Goddess, Princess, Whore, has been translated into ten languages. Her second, The Hemlock Cup: Socrates, Athens and the Search for the Good Life, was Book of the Week on BBC Radio and was especially well received. Hughes was nominated as a finalist for the Writer's Guild Award and made The New York Times Bestseller List for The Hemlock Cup. It was also chosen as Book of the Year in several publications. Her latest book :Istanbul explores a city which stands as a gateway between the east and west, the greatest city in the world.
Award-winning historian, broadcaster and author Bettany Hughes presents an epic new biography of Istanbul, the city with three names - Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul, the gateway between the East and the West, and between the North and the South which served as the capital of the Late Roman, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman Empires. Investigating what it takes to make a city, Bettany explores this city 'the world's desire' that is racing up the modern political agenda. Based on meticulous research gathered over a decade and brand new archaeological evidence, this captivating portrait of the momentous life of Istanbul is visceral, immediate and scholarly narrative history at its finest. Using the very latest techniques and finds – including Neolithic footprints preserved in the deep mud of the Bosphorus – Bettany walks the streets of the city and brings back to life the story of its inhabitants across
Bettany Hughes explores the history of Ancient Egypt and the amazing feat of engineering that is the construction of the pyramids.
Dr. Michael Scott, 'Where Eagles Meet: Highs and Lows at the Centre of the Ancient World.'
SPHS Lecture, 9th June 2012, Senate Room, Senate House London.
Introduction by Prof. Chris Carey, SPHS President
Gah-Kai Leung talks to Michael Scott, Assistant Professor of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick, on teaching and learning from the past.
In this episode Dr Michael Scott looks at what happened to theatre when the Romans incorporated Athens into their vast empire. How they co-opted and changed theatre for their own purposes.
The site of the ancient Greek oracle at Delphi managed to survive as the centre of the ancient world for more than 1,000 years, developing a reputation as a gateway into the supernatural and a hotbed of political conflict.
"Michael Scott of Cambridge University uncovers the secrets of the most famous oracle in the ancient world. A vital force in ancient history for a thousand years, it is now one of Greece's most beautiful tourist sites, but in its time it has been a gateway into the supernatural, a cockpit of political conflict, and a beacon for internationalism. And at its heart was the famous inscription which still inspires visitors today - 'Know Thyself'.
With the back drop of war, instability and chaos the greeks loose their democracy to be ruled by kings. This episode is about the dramatic decline of Athens and the remarkable triumph and transformation of theatre.

The figure of King Tut was not as beautiful as his treasures
The golden mask of King Tutankhamun
stored in the Egyptian Museum.

Behind the beautiful gold mask which covered the Tutankhamun, there are the face and body of the young pharaoh. It's shocking indeed, King Tut has the crooked legs, slightly forward teeth, and hips like a woman. The sightings of these figure are the result of visual autopsy performed by using the CT Scan 2000.
From the BBC's documentary film, the three dimentions model that appear quite staggering, and become the bright spot of the young pharaoh's death at the age of 19 years. Where in previous theory, indicated that King Tut probably died as a result of the chariot incident. But virtual reconstruction shows different scenarios.
"It is important to look at his ability to drive a chariot and we conclude it was impossible that's killed him, especially made his legs bandy, until finally he was not able to stand perfectly," said Albert Zink, head of the Institute for Mummies and Iceman in Italy.
No pretty boy... An earlier reconstruction of Tutankhamun's face. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1dy8y9)
According to Ashraf Selim, an Egyptian radiologist, King Tut has a deadly bones disease during his adolescence, causing extreme pain. About 130 rod buffer to walk was found around the King Tut treasure which supporting the theory that the young pharaoh was relying on his cane to walk.
King Tut unmasked ... His misshapen features were the result of his father, King Akhenaten, and his unidentified mother being siblings. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1dy8y9)
And Zink believes the pharaoh's death is due to his frail body as a result of incestuous marriages were performed by his parents.
In 2010, an international genetic research resulted in the discovery of five generations, including Tutankhamun therein. In the study, the mummy known as KV55 and KV35YL, identified as the siblings, and is also known as King Tut's parents.

The study confirms that the young pharaoh has disabilities legs (above the knee) and also suffering from malaria before he died. "It's hard to say that malaria becomes a serious factor which led to his death," said Zink.
These young pharaoh has long been a puzzle for scientists since his tomb and treasures found on November 22, 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter.
As the last male of his family, his death will be the end of the 18th dynasty, which is the most powerful generation in the ancient Egyptian royal family. It also enables one way for the military to power in Egypt at that time. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | NEWS.COM.AU]

Amazon slammed in report for adding 'largely low-quality' jobs amid coronavirus
·Reporter
September 22, 2020, 3:00 PM ·5 min read
Amazon (AMZN) CEO Jeff Bezos was among 181 chief executives at major corporations who signed a pledge in August 2019 to incorporate social welfare into business decisions, marking a new era of "stakeholder" capitalism.
Months later, the e-commerce giant's role in the U.S. economy expanded after the coronavirus pandemic forced hundreds of millions of Americans into their homes, spiking demand for online shopping and prompting a hiring blitz of 175,000 warehouse workers as other sectors endured layoffs.
But a report released on Tuesday slams Amazon for falling short of its commitment to value social welfare as the nation grappled with the pandemic, citing the company's addition of "largely low-quality" jobs and its alleged endangerment of warehouse workers put at risk of contracting the virus. The report also cited claims that Amazon retaliated against employees who spoke out about the working conditions in a series of walkouts.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is seen on a screen as he testifies before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial and Administrative Law on "Online Platforms and Market Power" in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC on July 29, 2020. Mandel Ngan/Pool via REUTERS
(Amazon fired several workers who publicly criticized its treatment of warehouse workers, but has denied that it did so out of retaliation.)
Amazon appears in the report alongside companies like Tyson Foods, Inc. (TSN) and Wells Fargo (WFC) that scored in the bottom 25% among over 600 large firms on each of two assessments that examined a company's COVID-19 response and its inequality issues.
The study based its findings on data collected by a product called Truvalue Platform, which uses artificial intelligence to analyze information drawn from industry, non-governmental organizations, news reports, and other sources.
In a statement to Yahoo Finance, an Amazon spokesperson criticized the study, saying it uses the "meaningless measure of 'sentiment about company actions' and fails to evaluate the actual response — which in the case of Amazon was proactive, swift and effective."
"Any objective survey of how companies responded to COVID-19 would find that Amazon quickly made changes to our operations and invested heavily in safety measures to keep employees safe," the spokesperson adds.
The report received funding from the Ford Foundation and was carried out by consulting firm KKS Advisors as well as Test of Corporate Purpose, an initiative formed this year to evaluate companies in their response to the pandemic and recent social unrest.
According to the report, many of the jobs added by Amazon in the aftermath of the outbreak were inadequate due in part to their use of "zero-hour contracts" or contracts that do not guarantee a minimum number of weekly hours.
"The company created numerous jobs, for which it might ostensibly receive credit under a first-pass analysis," the report says. "However, these jobs were largely low-quality, many used zero-hour contracts, and they are unlikely in the medium and long term to align with a stakeholder primacy agenda."
Beginning in March, Amazon workers nationwide held a series of walkouts amid a rising number of cases at the company's warehouses, citing inadequate safety measures and insufficient paid sick leave, among other issues. By May, about 900 of the company's 400,000 warehouse workers had been infected and eight had died, according to reports from The New York Times and NBC News.

In response to the pandemic, the company made efforts to take the temperature of workers before they entered U.S. facilities, provide all workers with protective masks, and give partial pay to workers who were sent home with a fever.
The company fired "at least six workers" involved in the protests, the report released on Tuesday says, highlighting former Amazon president and engineer Tim Bray, who resigned in May over the company's termination of workers who had spoken out.
Bray told Yahoo Finance that the company's emphasis on "customer obsession" sidelines the treatment of its warehouse workers.
"The core tenets of broad prices and fast delivery — that's what people want," Bray told Yahoo Finance on Sept. 10, prior to the release of the report. "How can you be against that? Well there's no free lunch. If you're doing those things, somebody has got to be paying."
"Blue-collar warehouse workers come behind," he adds. "Their experience doesn't come into the arithmetic."
Overall, the report finds that companies whose CEOs signed the high-minded pledge from the Business Roundtable last year performed slightly better than companies that did not back the commitment in the area of COVID-19 response and slightly worse in the area of inequality issues. The study's assessment drew on data gathered from February to July.
Bray praised the efficient management he witnessed as a white-collar engineer at Amazon but said it occasionally came alongside harmful company practices.
"A company can be very well-managed and still have ethical problems," he says. "I don't think that's surprising even, really."

Streaming games online is nothing new. In fact, it's been around for years now. In fact, we've been talking about it since the heady days of OnLive over seven years ago, and while that service was ultimately snapped up by Sony and turned into PSNow, the promise of being able to play a game on hardware hosted in a data center but have the display, audio, and input handled by something in your home has never really been realized.
Even PSNow, with Sony's money behind it, can't deliver 100% of the time. It works, but not as well as we'd like. The folks at Blade's Shadow are quietly trying their own take on the same idea, and they might actually be onto something.
What exactly is Shadow?
If you boil it down far enough, it's a collection of servers that all offer machines running Windows 10 with some pretty beefy specs to go with it. NVIDIA 1080 GPUs or equivalents, Intel Xeon CPUs, 12GB of DDR4 RAM, 256GB of storage. Those are the kinds of numbers you'd be talking about if you were building a gaming PC, and Shadow offers them all over the Internet with each machine having a 1Gbps network connection with which to play. Logging into the service gives you a Windows 10 desktop, and away you go.
But we're getting a little ahead of ourselves here. Let's back up and look at what the Shadow service really is.
In essence, users pay $34.99 per month to get access to a remote computer on which they can play whatever game they like. They can connect to that computer using apps built for Windows, PC, and Android with Linux and iOS apps in the works. When a user downloads the app and signs in with their account details, they see a Windows 10 computer and away they go. This isn't a streaming gaming platform like OnLive, it's a remote, high-end gaming computer at your beck and call. That means you're not limited to what games you can play.
As an example of that, I've been testing Shadow for a few weeks now and I've played games from all kinds of genres and online stores. I installed Steam and played Football Manager 2018 and Two Point Hospital. I signed into Origin and played the last few hours of the Battlefield V beta. I did all of this using my 2015 MacBook Pro and connected Samsung 27-inch 4K monitor and it was glorious – with all graphics settings set to their highest available. Well, 99% of the time, at least.
There are, of course, limitations to be taken into account here. No matter how fancy the technology that Shadow employs happens to be, you're still sending everything over the Internet – keyboard taps, mouse clicks, video, audio – and while actual latency wasn't something I encountered, there were some visual hiccups that sometimes resulted in my 4K image being less than optimal.
Blurred images did occur, even when reducing the resolution, but not for long and to be absolutely honest, it didn't happen often enough to stop me from enjoying the game at hand – even during heavy Battlefield V firefights. My MacBook Pro is connected to a 350Mbps/20Mbps fiber via fast Wi-Fi, which is perhaps a faster connector than most will have to work with. Perhaps bear that in mind.
There's another angle to consider here, and that's the Shadow Box. Currently unavailable while an updated version is being worked on, the Shadow Box will be called the Shadow Ghost when it is relaunched and will gain some notable improvements over the current model – most obvious is the inclusion of WiFi capabilities.
I was able to test the older Shadow Box, and in a nutshell, it's a small device that acts as a streamer for those who don't have another device on which to install the Shadow app. Plugging the Shadow Box in, connecting peripherals and hooking up a monitor produced the exact same experience as using the Mac app I've been using over the last few weeks, and that's about all there is to say about it. I don't expect most will need one, and I certainly preferred using the Mac app instead. If you do need a Shadow Ghost/Box, you'll, unfortunately, need to wait for it to be made available in Q4 2018/ Q1 2019.
Of course, this being a remote computer, Shadow can be used for all kinds of things beyond gaming. While mining cryptocurrencies is not allowed as part of the Shadow terms of service, if you need a powerful machine to run media creation apps and such, this is a great option. Getting assets into Shadow will obviously require uploading them somehow, but in a pinch having a Xeon CPU on hand can come in handy in all manner of situations, not just for helping push pixels in the latest blockbuster game. Ultimately, however, gaming is where Shadow sees itself being used.
Given the way Shadow has performed during my testing, the only real question mark I and prospective customers will have is the price. At $35 per month Shadow is definitely not cheap, but given what you get for your money it may well be worth it to gaming fans. When you look at how much money can be sunk into building a high-end gaming PC, you can pay Shadow a lot of $35 fees before you get close to the same figure, and that's before you factor in upgrades. PC gamers know that upgrading their machines to keep them running at the top of their game is a costly exercise, but with Shadow, that's all on the service to take care of. Talk of more RAM and upgraded GPUs is already taking place, and unless the monthly fee increases, none of that cost is on you, the user. That has to be something worth its weight in gold or, at the very least, huge GPUs!
After spending a few weeks with the service, I'm a fan of Shadow. I like the performance and I like having a full Windows 10 PC with which to play rather than being told what games I can enjoy like we have seen in the past. There's no waiting for Shadow to add support for a big game after its release – you download it, and you play it.
That's how gaming should be, and Shadow is perhaps the closest to console gaming-level ease-of-use we've seen yet.

Fins and Feathers: Children's Book Illustrations from The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art
January 20, 2012 - April 21, 2012
A child's first encounter with art often occurs on the pages of children's picture books. Populated by creatures from fantasy or nature, children's book illustrations entice the eye and provide fertile ground for the imagination. More than a fun pastime, the lush, creative and colorful images that grace the pages present new and familiar situations that stimulate the imagination and teach important life lessons.
Such an impact on a child's development is demonstrated in the exhibition Fins and Feathers: Children's Book Illustrations from The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art (the museum is located in Amherst, Mass.). Featuring 43 original illustrations from the late 19th century through today, the exhibition introduces viewers of all ages to a host of memorable fish, birds and other creatures whose exploits and adventures echo the concerns of children and bring them to life in an enjoyable way.
The illustrations in Little Turtle's Big Adventure by John Par Miller invite children to reflect upon environmental issues by asking them to accompany a turtle in his quest to find a new home when his habitat is destroyed by urban development. Illustrations in Eric Carle's humorous account of a chameleon that dreams of being like other animals or Leo Lionni's fish that yearns to explore the land offer lessons on self-acceptance and self-confidence.
Other highlights include a tempera drawing from Ashley Bryan's award-winning compendium of Nigerian folktales, the adventures of a chicken's beach towel by contemporary author Petra Mathers, and Arnold Lobel's reinterpretations of classic stories in The Random House Book of Poetry for Children and The Random House Book of Mother Goose.
Ranging from painted tissue collages and colored pencil drawings to watercolors, Fins and Feathers showcases a variety of techniques to help celebrate the importance of children's book illustrations as forms of art.
This family-friendly exhibition is the perfect attraction for children and those who are a "kid at heart."

Q: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.text.Editable android.widget.EditText.getText()' on a null object 2017 Hello I am fairly well informed with java and android developing, but this error has given me trouble for about three weeks.  I have tried all of the solutions on stack overflow that I know of such as changing the way I initialize the editText variables, but still no luck.  Any help would be much appreciated because it would seem as though there shouldn't be any error.
Here is my mainActivity class code:
`public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
private FirebaseAuth mAuth;
private FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener mAuthListener;
public String email;
public String password;
private EditText emailedittext;
private EditText passwordedittext;

Hope this will help!

A: Why are you using these lines again and again?
 EditText emailedittext = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.emailedittext);
 EditText passwordedittext = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.passwordedittext);

The EditText emailedittext,passworditext are already declared variables.
So,simply use
emailedittext = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.emailedittext);
passwordedittext = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.passwordedittext);

Also,remove these lines from onCreate().You dont need to define them here like this as they are already defined in OnCreate()
  EditText emailedittext = (EditText)MainActivity.this.findViewById(R.id.emailedittext);
    EditText passwordedittext = (EditText)MainActivity.this.findViewById(R.id.passwordedittext);

A: The error message said you try to call getText() on a null object. Check whether emailedittext or passwordedittext is null, before the line MainActivity.java:202.

A: Is there any specific reason for you to add below lines:
 EditText emailedittext = (EditText)MainActivity.this.findViewById(R.id.emailedittext);
 EditText passwordedittext = (EditText)MainActivity.this.findViewById(R.id.passwordedittext);

These are not needed as you have initialized them in OnCreate. Is it always issues. Does it work the first time you launch the application? If it works the first time and crashes after pausing the application then better to initialize all views in OnResume.

When will be Cutter to Houston next episode air date? Is Cutter to Houston renewed or cancelled? Where to countdown Cutter to Houston air dates? Is Cutter to Houston worth watching?
Three young doctors trained at the Texas Medical Center are sent to the small town of Cutter, where they establish a community hospital. "Cutter to Houston" is, of course, the 1980s, high tech version of "Young Interns." Plainly, it's the three doctors who had to sustain — read that save — the show. Andy, the general practitioner, has returned to Cutter to repay the loan debt that financed his medical education. He is accompanied by Beth Gordon, the daughter of a brilliant, surgeon who has followed in her parent's footsteps,and Hal Wexler, the internist, who turns out to have served time in prison for illegally dispensing barbiturates. Hal doesn't spend as much time treating patients as he does courting one of the local beauties — a move opposed by her redneck Brother. That leads to a baseball face-off between the pair. At least, that is different. Jim Metzler, who emerged from the shadows in "Tex," plays the ameliorating Andy with the same measured confidence and concern he brought to the Disney movie. Former "Charlie's Angel" Shelley Hack's warm personality goes far to making Beth sympathetic and appealing. As Hal, Alec Baldwin must supply the harder edges.

Dr. Eoin Finn, an expert in international business and a leading Woodfibre LNG opponent, spoke to the independent Coast Clarion and said, "The fight is nearly over."
This was a project that Christy Clark's Liberals hoped to promote in the May election as proof their LNG strategy was not constructed with glitter glue and puffballs. Postmedia, a partner of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, reported Premier Clark's words:
This is the first of 20 projects that are in the pipeline somewhere to go forward so far, and I'm just delighted to say that LNG in British Columbia is finally becoming a reality.
Its convenient proximity to the city, ensured that any Woodfibre photo op attracted city-bound media along with a host of Liberal MLAs and nameless party apparatchiks. But, there may have been darker reasons that explain how a convicted, big league tax avoider and destroyer of tropical jungles gained special treatment from British Columbia's government.
At TheBreaker.news, indefatigable investigator Bob Mackin reported:
Woodfibre LNG donated $79,500 to the BC Liberals from 2014 to 2016, including $5,000 just 11 days after the eDrive announcement. [Country manager for Woodfibre Byng] Giraud gave $48,964.36 since 2006. Two of Giraud's 2016 Liberal donations ($10,225, Sept. 30 and $3,050, Nov. 30) bookended the period that included Coleman's meeting with Tanoto and the eDrive decision. Natural gas supplier FortisBC and its predecessor, Terasen, donated $327,487.79 between 2005 and 2016.
Economists write papers on the circular flow of income but they don't include the flow between politicians, businesses and the public treasury. In BC, it is commonplace.
Eoin Finn may have explained how Woodfibre can afford to pay both lobbyists and Liberals.
BC Hydro pays Woodfibre $1.7 million a year for electricity generated at the site. It's a small independent power producer (IPP); water from a lake up top powers a small turbine.
I think it is a take or pay: whether Woodfibre gives electricity to BC Hydro or not, BC Hydro is on the hook for $1.7 million a year. It allows Woodfibre to pay their staff out of what is essentially an ongoing gift from BC Hydro.
BC Hydro pays Woodfibre $158 per megawatt hour, about twice the rate to break even. But last November, it was announced that Woodfibre will be able to buy electricity from BC Hydro for $54 per megawatt hour.
If correct, and BC Hydro's FIA report supports the amount, that payment of nearly 16¢ a KWh is almost 50% more than the average paid other IPPs and six (yes, 6) times the price at which BC sells the Canadian Entitlement from downstream benefits of Columbia river dams.
The price BC Hydro pays Woodfibre for power is also three times what BC Hydro would charge Woodfibre to liquefy what would probably be royalty-free, subsidized natural gas.
If you are an observer grown cynical – like the writer – you may wonder what secret benefits are to be found in the circular flow of income between Government, leaders of the governing party of British Columbia from 2001 to 2017 and the companies they purport to regulate.

Thank you Norm for exposing all the cockroaches in Chrity's pay to play scam.
So was the 'Christy' Squamish LNG hype for real or as has always been the case… just more electioneering spin? I guess we may find out one day.

Things won't change with Falcon, remember that. He's another wolf In sheeps clothing, another of the Campbell clan. They're all the same. Not working for the citizens of this province. Never have, never will.
Blake Newton says:
I wonder if Christy's many "internal enemies" will attempt a putsch after they are defeated? Gives one pause. I think it is likely they will try. However, the years she consolidated power and destroyed opponents like Ben Stewart, George Abbott and Kevin Falcon point to a personality cult there. In this case, I think that she would be regarded as a politician past her prime.
Norman Farrell says:
I think she'll leave the Legislature on her own because she will have favours to cash. There may be no softer landing spot than the Canadian Senate and there she can accept well paid posts with the companies that have thrived under her Premiership. That will put her in the oil & gas biz, construction and real estate development. Those companies made billions so they'll find room for her without a second thought.

Q: Display value of array based on values of another array I have two arrays
     var arry1 = [1,2,3]
     var array2 = [
        { value: 1, text: 'example1' },
        { value: 2, text: 'example2' },
        { value: 3, text: 'example3' },
        { value: 4, text: 'example4' },
        { value: 5, text: 'example5' },
      ],

i want to display the text based on arry1 delimited by commas something like below:
example1,example2,example3
how do I achieve that ?
var x = arry2.forEach(function(element, value){
        if (element.value == arry1){
          return element.value
        }
      });

A: You could filter array2 and map the wanted property.

var array1 = [1, 2, 3],
    array2 = [{ value: 1, text: 'example1' }, { value: 2, text: 'example2' }, { value: 3, text: 'example3' }, { value: 4, text: 'example4' }, { value: 5, text: 'example5' }],
    result = array2
        .filter(({ value }) => array1.includes(value))
        .map(({ text }) => text);

console.log(result);

A: You can reduce your array2 to an object of key-value pairs so that you can use the number stored at value to retrieve your text like so:

const array1 = [1, 2, 3]
const array2 = [{value: 1, text: 'example1'}, {value: 2, text: 'example2'}, {value: 3, text: 'example3'}, {value: 4, text: 'example4'}, {value: 5, text: 'example5'}];

const lut = array2.reduce((a, {value, text}) => ({...a, [value]:text}), {});
const res = array1.map(num_key => lut[num_key]).join() // loop through each number and then display it's associated text from the look-up-table we generated
console.log(res);

A: You can map through each element in arr1 to find the object in arr2, and use join to create a comma delimited string.

var arr1 = [1, 2, 3]
var arr2 = [{value: 1,text: 'example1'},{value: 2,text: 'example2'},{value: 3,text: 'example3'},{value: 4,text: 'example4'},{value: 5,text: 'example5'}]

console.log(arr1.map(v => arr2.find(o => o.value === v).text).join(','))

Another way would be to use reduce with includes:

var arr1 = [1, 2, 3]
var arr2 = [{value: 1,text: 'example1'},{value: 2,text: 'example2'},{value: 3,text: 'example3'},{value: 4,text: 'example4'},{value: 5,text: 'example5'}]

console.log(arr2.reduce((a, {value, text}) => (arr1.includes(value) && a.push(text), a), []).join(','))

NOTE: The first method will base the ordering from arr1, while the second method will base the ordering on arr2

The most efficient way, would be to use the first solution, according to this JSPerf:


or isn't there too much mic impedance? too high of output sensitivity? self noise? and power req?
Does anyone even do it?
but I wouldn't call fostex the worse in my opinion.
I'm not sure if this adds any useful information, but I plugged my Schoeps CMC64 pair into my Fostex FR2-LE and was very pleased with the results. The mics worked well (and were not damaged???!!!???), the recording (of acoustic guitar) was accepted for a demo CD, and we all lived happily ever after.
The questions in the first post of the original thread indicate a fundamental lack of understanding of the mic to preamp interface.
Just plug the mic into the recorder and go record something.

en:company:News & Events:Events:CUPRA Ducati Moto GP championship 2019.0.8.1 SG/EN
CUPRA, sponsor Ducati at the MotoGP.
The CUPRA universe keeps growing. The new sports car brand has just become a new sponsor of Ducati at the MotoGP World Championship. With this move, CUPRA makes over from SEAT, which until now was one of the Italian team's sponsors. The Ducati team in MotoGP consists of three-time world champion Jorge Lorenzo from Spain and Italy's Andrea Dovizioso, who is currently leading the MotoGP standings.
Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo join CUPRA as ambassadors and collaborators.
The partnership between both companies provides for collaborating on joint actions during the year, as well as displaying the CUPRA sports car logo on the front of the Italian maker's motorcycle as well as on the riders' racing leathers and on the uniforms of the team members. Moreover, both Ducati riders, Jorge Lorenzo and Andrea Dovizioso, are also ambassadors of the Spanish brand and enjoy getting around at the wheel of their Leon CUPRA.
CUPRA director of Strategy, Business Development and Operations Antonino Labate pointed out that "we are very excited to be a part of this team which shares our passion for competition. The CUPRA spirit and vision are going to permeate the MotoGP World Championship in collaboration with Ducati, a brand we share values with such as design, passion, nonconformity and a clear commitment to innovation and technology".
Paolo Ciabatti, Ducati Corse Sporting Director, underlined: It gives us great pleasure to continue our collaboration with the Spanish car manufacturer for a second successive year, this time under a new sporting guise of CUPRA. Both of our Ducati Team riders, Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo, will continue to give enhanced visibility to this innovative sporting partnership in their role as CUPRA brand ambassadors and collaborators both on and off the track".
This year's MotoGP World Championship kicked off under the night sky in Qatar on 18 March, and is scheduled to end in Valencia on 18 November. The current calendar features a total of 19 races, which is one more than last year with the addition of the Thailand GP in Buriram. The Grands Prix are being held in 15 different countries on five continents with a global audience of over 2 million spectators at tracks all around the world.

New deals for Morecambe dup Ryan Williams and Andy Wright
Morecambe duo Ryan Williams and Andy Wright have penned new contracts at the Globe Arena.
The midfield pair have agreed deals until the end of next season and follow Jack Redshaw, Kevin Ellison and Andy Parrish in extending their stays with the Shrimps recently.
"I'm really pleased that Andy and Ryan have agreed to stay with the club for another year," boss Jim Bentley told the club's official website.
"They have both done really well since they joined us and are important members of our squad. We have a number of players already signed up now for next season which is a real bonus.''


Square Inc. (NYSE: SQ) stock will start trading tomorrow (Thursday, Nov. 19). If it follows the average pattern for 2015 IPOs, the SQ stock price should see a first-day pop. The average IPO in 2015 has seen a first-day gain of 14%.
On Nov. 11, Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) said it's developing a payment service that would allow users to transfer money to one another from their iPhones. The tech giant is consulting with a number of banks about the service, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) and Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC). The move would be a direct challenge to other person-to-person payment services like Square and Venmo.
As the most valuable brand in the world, Apple's new service is poised to take over the growing mobile payments industry. According to Forbes, it's expected to become a $142 billion market by 2019.
However, Apple won't be able to take over the sector easily. Many other mobile payment companies have enjoyed immense growth in recent years.
Venmo is the fastest-growing payment service in the United States. Last year, it accounted for 19% of mobile person-to-person money transactions. About $2.1 billion worth of mobile payments were made using Venmo last quarter. That's up from $700 million during the year-ago quarter.
Square has seen similar growth in the number of payments used with Square Readers. Square's gross payment volume (GPV) – the total value of card transactions processed – increased 61% from $14.8 billion in 2013 to $23.8 billion in 2014. Its GPV is set to surpass $30 billion by the end of this year.
But don't let the strong GPV growth convince you to invest in SQ stock right away. In fact, there are a number of risks facing Square stock's potential profitability.

Cristo's The Gates art project.
My photographs of THE GATES are NOT available for sale.
* Christo and Jeanne-Claude developed the concept for The Gates in 1979.
On January 22, 2003, the City granted permission to the artists to realize their vision.
* The Gates was unfurled in Central Park, New York City on February 12, 2005, weather permitting, and will remain through February 27, 2005.
* 7,500 gates, 16 feet high (4.87 m) with a width varying from 5 feet 6 inches to 18 feet (1.68 m to 5.48 m) will line 23 miles (36.8 km) of footpaths in the park.
* Free-hanging, saffron-colored fabric panels will be suspended from the top of each gate and hang down to 7 feet (2.13 m) above the ground.
* The Gates will be stationed approximately 12 feet (3.65 m) apart, except when low branches extend above the walkways. * The Gates will create a visual golden river appearing and disappearing through the bare branches of the trees, highlighting the shapes of the footpaths.
* The luminous moving fabric will underline the organic and serpentine design of the walkways, while the rectangular poles will be a reminder of the grid pattern of the City blocks around the park.
* The project will provide employment for hundreds of New York City residents, hired to assemble, install, maintain and remove the installation.
* After The Gates is removed, most of the materials will be recycled.
* As always, Central Park will be open to the public, free of charge, during The Gates.
* The Gates is financed entirely by the artists, who do not accept sponsorships. The public will bear no expense of any kind.

The largest iceberg was born in Antarctica this summer
A giant ice shelf broke off in the Antarctic this summer.
It's one third the size of Slovenia, weighs more than 20 million Titanics and contains as much water as 40,000 Lake Bohinjs.
The iceberg was floating in the water before it split from Larsen C. The sea level will not rise, even though the ice will melt.
How can you imagine this more easily? Let's look at an ice cube melting in a glass of water. When it stops melting, the water level in the glass does not change.
Scientists disagree as to why the iceberg has broken off. Some think this is a natural phenomenon, and we did not cause it. Others are convinced that the shelf broke off due to the warming of the atmosphere.
This gigantic ice berg is now floating in the Southern Ocean. Scientists predict that it will break into smaller parts in a few years and then scatter.
But at the same time, they are concerned that more glaciers will now flow into the sea from this part of Antarctica.
Glaciers are like huge rivers full of ice, which slowly slide along due to their own weight. What prevents them from falling more quickly are the ice shelves that are around them.
If a part of the glacier from the land falls into the water, the sea level rises. There is so much ice in the Antarctic that the sea level would rise 60 meters all over the world if all of it landed in the sea.
Do you know any glaciers in Slovenia?
Do you know what happened to glacier Triglav?
Do you know why even a large iceberg can float in the sea?

Because we continue to witness the worst refugee crisis of our time unfold we are moving forward in co-sponsoring another refugee family in the spring of 2017. We have partnered with Chicago-based RefugeeOne an organization that provides opportunities for refugees who have fled war, terror and persecution helping them to build new lives of safety, dignity and self-reliance her in America.
A co-sponsor's responsibility is to help settle the family into their new lives here in America. This means greeting them at the O'Hare Airport when they arrive, helping them learn English and acclimate to American culture and just being an advocate and friend.
If you can, please join us in helping welcome a refugee family by making a cash donation that will assist the family.
Any donation, no matter how small is greatly appreciated. Your tax deductible gift is made directly to RefugeeOne. Funds are used to assist with rent, utilities, and expenses during the family's first months in Chicago as they seek employment, learn English, and learn to thrive in their new home.

Wildcats looking to continue prowl with new leaders
LaMar Gafford
The Town Talk
PINEVILLE — The players might change, but the goals remain the same for the Louisiana College football program.
After finishing strong last year to break even at 5-5, the Wildcats are looking to build on that groove as younger players are eager to step up for departed seniors.
"The difference that this year's team has (is) that they bring a different mindset, because we knew that last year we're coming into a situation where we had to change the program," LC coach Justin Charles said. "This year's team understands where the program is. When we started practice this year, we started very intense and focused."
That surely can be said for the Wildcats' strength on defense — the linebacker corps.
Gone is the school's all-time tackles leader, Orel Ledet, but senior Jacob Joffrion and junior Julius Johnson are looking to assume the roles of as leaders of the defense.
"(This defense) is going to be as special as we make it," Joffrion said. "It can look good on paper, but if we don't do anything during the game, it doesn't matter. Talking is easy, but we have to do something."
"At the end of the day, it's not really about football for me, but how I can lead people into better directions off the field," Johnson added about being a leader. "Whenever I can do that off the field, it becomes easier to lead on the field."
The offense will have a new quarterback under center, but the quarterback battle between sophomore Landon Lalonde and freshman Sal Palermo has been going well according to offensive coordinator and former LC record-setting quarterback Ben McLaughlin.
"It's a neck-for-neck race for those two guys," McLaughlin said. "They're going to split reps with the ones at our intra-squad scrimmage and the next week against Hendrix. The guy that is the most consistent is the guy that's going to end up winning the job. Whoever starts, it's going to be his first game as a collegiate quarterback, so be it a freshman or sophomore, we're going to start the person that gives us the best chance to win us the game."
Whoever wins the starting job will have a receiver he can trust in junior Zion Williams.
The Pineville product caught 17 passes last season but is ready to break out as the go-to guy.
"This receiver group could probably be one of the best that I've seen in terms of mental aspect and probably because of how much we want it," Williams said. "I've been when Shed (Davis), Leondre (James) and JoJo (Robinson) were here. The culture has changed and is different, so it's going to be better."
In the trenches, sophomore center Chadwick Smith has taken over as the leader on the offensive line.
"The way I'm looking to lead this group on and off the field is showing them how we do this and that," Smith said. "You have that one leader that has to show them what to do, how to do it and the way to do it."
LC opens its season with three straight road games, beginning with a trip to Stetson Sept. 7. The Wildcats first home game will be against Hardin-Simmons Sept. 28.

Cape Flats – Brasse Vannie Kaap
Yskoud – Brasse Vannie Kaap
Before Brasse Vannie Kaap, we didn't really have much by way of successful rappers in South Africa and certainly almost none that rapped in Afrikaans and, as far as I am aware, none that rapped with a kleurling accent. So its hard to argue with people saying that they were ground breaking.
They came to prominence in 1997 with the release of their eponymous debut album, 'Brasse Vannie Kaap' and this fame continued with the release of their second album 'Yskoud' which included 'Cape Flats' and was released in 2000. The song must have been influenced by the fusion of hard rock and hip hop which songs like Run DMC's collaboration with members of Aerosmith on their 1986 hit, 'Walk This Way' had successfully managed. There is a hard-edged guitar growling throughout the song while the lyrics are delivered in an angry voice that at time borders on threatening. But there is an almost catchiness to the chorus when the band join in and you can almost hear them jumping around (like they do in the video below) as they blast out the sound.
Brasse Vannie Kaap along with fellow Cape band Prophets of da City led the way for acts like Die Antwoord and Jack Parrow to follow. In 2002 a compilation album called 'Vloek Van Die Kitaar' brought together some of the most influential Afrikaans rock songs that had been released up till then. It featured some of the Voelvry movement acts and a number from the burgeoning Stellenbosch blues scene, but also included 'Cape Flats' which, while being at odds with the other tracks in terms of its sound, was also given the nod as a very influential Afrikaans song.
