Kid Cudi's WZRD and jazz artist Robert Glasper score high debuts
March 7, 2012 | 12:56 pm
Welcome to week No. 23 at the top of the U.S. pop charts, Adele. The Grammy star maintains her grip on the pole position of the chart, as her "21" again faces no significant challengers. In its 54th week of release, the album sold more than 246,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and has now sold more than 7.8 million copies.
As "21" approaches 8 million copies sold, Adele's debut, "19," also continues to find a new audience. The album is at No. 7 this week, having sold an additional 37,000 copies. The 2008 album has crossed the 2 million mark. Meanwhile, Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" is the sixth-best selling digital single in the U.S., having sold 144,000 downloads this week.
The week's top debut, and indeed the only debut inside the top 10, is Kid Cudi's psychedelic rock project WZRD. The self-titled album sold more than 66,000 copies. There was a bit of controversy in the release, as last week Kid Cudi took to Twitter to blast his label, Universal Republic, for shipping only 55,000 units to retail. There still should be plenty on the shelves, as 45,000 of "WZRD's" sales were for digital albums.
Other notes from this week's charts:
• Genre-hopping jazz pianist Robert Glasper enters the chart at No. 15 with his latest, "Black Radio." The album sold just shy of 21,000 copies, and it makes the first time Glasper has reached the top 200 on the mainstream pop chart. Glasper has long blurred the lines between jazz and hip-hop, and his latest features contributions from the likes of Erykah Badu, Mos Def and Lupe Fiasco. Glasper appeared with Fiasco last week on the "Late Show With David Letterman."
• The top-selling digital track in the U.S. for the second week running is Fun's "We Are Young," with Janelle Monáe. The track sold an additional 302,000 downloads this week, and has sold more than 1.4 million copies to date. The theatrical rock band's second album, "Some Nights," is at No. 12 on the pop chart. It sold 25,000 copies this week, and has moved 95,000 in two weeks of release.
• Noise rockers Sleigh Bells didn't fare quite as well in their second week. The act's "Reign of Terror" falls from No. 12 to No. 78, having sold about 7,000 copies in its second week. Thus far, the album has tallied about 35,000 sales.
• Are boy bands about to make a comeback? If "Glee" gets a vote, the answer would likely be yes. U.K. boy band the Wanted has the No. 2 selling digital track in the U.S., as "Glad You Came" sold more than 206,000 downloads. The song was featured on a recent episode of the Fox series.
• Local hip-hop-inspired dance act the Far East Movement is readying a new album for release this spring, and lead-off single, "Live My Life," is already the eighth-best selling digital track in the U.S. The cut sold 127,000 copies in its first week of release, and features some additional star power with a guest vocal from teen star Justin Beiber.

Germanwings co-pilot said "ALL WILL KNOW MY NAME" To Ex-Girlfriend
Latest News, Law & Justice, Transportation, World News / By live_news / March 28th 2015 March 28th 2015
The co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 who apparently chose to crash the jetliner into a mountain had vowed to "do something" that would make people remember him, his ex-girlfriend has told a German newspaper.
German newspaper says Lubitz spent months in psychiatric treatment, starting in 2008. The 26-year-old flight attendant, identified by the tabloid Bild as Mary W., was quoted as saying Andreas Lubitz, 27, had "burnout-syndrome" and she had been worried about his increasingly erratic behaviour.

The woman said Lubitz would have horrible nightmares and would wake at night screaming, "We're going down."
When she heard about the crash in the French Alps she remembered that Lubitz had told her last year: "One day I will do something that will change the whole system, and then all will know my name and remember it."
"I never knew what he meant, but now it makes sense," she told Bild. She said they dated for five months last year but she decided they should end the relationship after "it became increasingly clear he had a problem."
The woman spoke of his "health problems," described him as being agitated when he spoke of his work, and remembered him saying he didn't think he could realize his dreams of becoming a long-haul pilot and captain.

Tak Matsumoto and Daniel Ho Aratani Theatre JACCC DTLA October 14, 2017
GRAMMY Award Winners Tak Matsumoto and Daniel Ho

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and The Japanese American Cultural and Community Center presented The Mainland Celebration of Electric Island, Acoustic Sea GRAMMY Award Winners Tak Matsumoto & Daniel Ho's New Album At JACCC's Aratani Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles
Following a sold-out 24-show tour in Japan and Hawaii earlier this year, Los Angeles celebrated Gibson Guitar legend Matsumoto and ukulele virtuoso/multi-instrumentalist Ho's debut album. The duo's mainland premiere included a Q&A at the Grammy Museum and this exclusive live performance – An Evening With Tak Matsumoto and Daniel Ho – Electric Island, Acoustic Sea – a sensational live concert experience that rocked JACCC's Aratani Theater in Little Tokyo.
Matsumoto's dynamic collaboration with 6-time GRAMMY winner, multi-instrumentalist and producer Daniel Ho features sounds of the island cultures of Japan and Hawaii debuted at #1 in Japan upon its release earlier this year with a sold out 24-show tour through Japan and Tak's first concert event in Hawaii.
Show review by Tak Ito:
"アコースティック シー"、この穏やかなタイトルに惑わされてはいけなかった。頭からTak松本のユニークでハードドライビングな音色のギター楽曲でコンサートは始まった。 それでもダニエル・ホーの多種類民族楽器が全てを優しく包み込んで老若男女のオーディエンスを心地良くコンサート最後まで魅了していった。ハイライトのひとつはジャーニーのカバー曲 "Faithfully"。 参加ミュージシャン全員が素晴らしく、ハワイアン フレーバーな異次元空間に安心してタイムトラベルさせてくれたようなコンサートだった。
The album channels Ho's inner rock star and Matsumoto's love for the relaxing pace of Hawaii. As Ho explains, it features an original collection of contemporary compositions rooted in the artists' native cultures, "Our album is a musical convergence of our island cultures of Japan and Hawaii. We used traditional instruments like 'ukulele, slack key guitar, ipu heke, taiko, sanshin, koto (June Kuramoto from the group Hiroshima recorded the koto parts) in our original music." The almost entirely original, instrumental album sports one song with vocals by Ho, a cover of Journey's ballad "Faithfully."
Championed in his homeland as the most renowned guitarist in all of Asia, Tak Matsumoto is best known as songwriter, guitarist and producer of the Japanese rock duo, B'z. Formed in 1988, Matsumoto and vocalist, Koshi Inaba have released chart-topping albums and singles over the course of their career, and hold the record of 49 consecutive #1 single debuts on Japan's Oricon Singles Chart. With sales totaling over 80-million units in Japan alone, B'z is recognized as the best-selling music act in Japanese history.
Complementing their storied musical success, B'z is celebrated for their dynamic live shows. In 2011, their sold-out North American tour culminated in an unforgettable performance with rock band, Linkin Park, to raise money for victims of the Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami. Later that same year, they played a sold-out dome tour in Japan, which included three nights at the famed Tokyo Dome with 600,000 fans in attendance.
Matsumoto began his career as a session musician. With exposure to a myriad of musical styles, his unique sound is inspired by elements of jazz, blues, classical, metal, rock, and ska. He released the critically acclaimed instrumental albums, Hana and Dragon From The West, which were heralded for their powerful flowing melodies and evocative imagery.
In 2010, Matsumoto joined forces with jazz guitarist, Larry Carlton, and released the album, Take Your Pick. Drawing upon their vast knowledge and diverse musical backgrounds, Matsumoto and Carlton blended their Eastern and Western guitar styles to create a truly magical album. After a successful tour of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan, Take Your Pick won the GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album at the 53rd GRAMMY Awards in February 2011.
Matsumoto's solo discography has garnered prestigious milestones. Strings Of My Soul was released worldwide in August of 2012. It peaked at #2 on the indie and mainstream Smooth Jazz Charts in the US and stayed on the charts for five months. Matsumoto digitally released an instrumental version of "Live Life," a single from Strings Of My Soul in January 2013, which went to #8 and spent three months on the BDS Billboard Smooth Jazz Radio Top 30. His 2014 album, New Horizon, and 2016 album, Enigma, both culminated with sold out Japanese tours. Eliciting rave reviews, the tours incorporated spectacular stage sets with visual and lighting techniques that presented instrumental music in a cutting-edge experience.
With B'z embarking on their 30th anniversary celebration in the fall, Tak Matsumoto continues to electrify audiences with his prolific skill set and undeniably signature guitar sound.
Daniel Ho
Daniel Ho's simple philosophy of presenting music with sincerity and artistry encompasses six consecutive GRAMMY Awards, fourteen GRAMMY Nominations, several number-one albums on national airplay charts, and a slew of top-ten albums on Billboard.
Ho's six GRAMMY Awards (2005-2010) were for Best Hawaiian Music Album as an artist, producer, and engineer. In 2010, his solo ukulele album, Polani (Pure), was the first ukulele album in musical history to receive a GRAMMY nomination. On piano the following year, he received a nomination for Best Pop Instrumental Album for his LP, E Kahe Malie (Flowing Gently). Ho's 2012 album On A Gentle Island Breeze was nominated for a GRAMMY in the World Music category, and again in 2014, his album Our World In Song with Luis Conté and Wu Man was also nominated for a GRAMMY in the same category.
A Honolulu native, Ho started music lessons at an early age and spent his teenage years orchestrating big band arrangements. At the Grove School of Music in Los Angeles, he excelled in composition and film scoring. He was the leader and keyboardist of the acclaimed '90s contemporary jazz band, Kilauea. Ho performs original songs in English and Hawaiian that feature his versatility on ukulele, slack key guitar, and piano. Notable credits include singing Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U" in Hawaiian for the end credits of the feature film Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008), and his widely covered ukulele instrumental anthem, "Pineapple Mango." As an independent record company owner, he pursues excellence in composition, performance, audio engineering, and production. Ho's custom six-string KoAloha ukulele, the D-VI, is currently on exhibit at the GRAMMY Museum. In addition, he has collaborated with world renowned luthier Pepe Romero Jr. in the design of the Romero Creations Tiny Tenor and XS Soprano ukuleles.

Leading Run Scorers For Australia In Test Cricket
Active Players With Most Test Hundreds
The Australian vice-captain Steve Smith has started 2023 with a brilliant century against South Africa in the third and final Test of the three-match series at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Friday, January 5. Steve Smith scored his 30th Test century and surpassed Sir Donald Bradman to become the joint third-highest century-scorer for his country.
Bradman scored 29 Test centuries for the Aussies in 52 Test matches, while Smith surpassed his tally in 92 Tests. The 33-year-old is now joint third in the list of most centuries for Australia in Test matches with former opening batsman Matthew Hayden. Former captains Ricky Ponting (41) and Steve Waugh (32) are ahead of him.
During the first innings of Australia, Smit reached his century in 190 balls by playing a pull shot off Anrich Nortje's bowling to the backward square boundary. He was dismissed by Keshav Maharaj in the next over after scoring 104 off 192 balls, which included 11 boundaries and two sixes. The Australian batter missed his century at Melbourne, and he was dismissed for 85 runs.
Steve Smith also surpassed former captain Michael Clarke to become Australia's fourth all-time leading run-scorer in Test cricket. In 92 matches, he scored 8,647 runs at an average of 60.89, with 30 centuries and 37 half-centuries in the longest format and a best of 239 runs.

Our house sold in record time and with no stress!!
When we decided to sell our house, Laurel was just starting out as a real estate agent. We did not have any doubts about using her to sell our home, as we knew she would do an awesome job, and she did. Our house sold in record time and with no stress!! Laurel was not only professional, she was quite personal as well. She treated us like we were long time friends!!!
Laurel is a rare breed of real estate agent,tenacious but not pushy.


Mac OS X has for the most part, compared to other operating systems, enjoyed a carefree history when it comes to security. There are certainly some vulnerabilities, but relatively few known exploits for them. There are also almost no examples of attacks in the wild. The few attacks that researchers have noted in the wild, although highly publicized, are mostly harmless. This however should not be taken as evidence that OS X is difficult or impossible to attack.
Two reasonable explanations for the lack of any large-scale security threats facing OS X are its small market share and superior approach to security. OS X is based in BSD UNIX and uses time tested open source software for its security foundation. It was designed to be a multiuser operating system and has strong built-in file based permission system. OS X is also very secure out of the box and includes many easily accessible additional features. By default the root user in OS X is disabled, and most normal users should never even need to use it. Network services are also disabled by default. OS X provides a unique combination of good security by default and ease of use, making it a relatively secure system for normal users.
The first virus for OS X, OSX.Leap.A was discovered in the wild in February of 2006. Although this particular virus was innocuous, it should demonstrate that OS X is certainly not immune to security threats. While the OS X market share is small, it is steadily increasing. As is becomes a more popular operating system, security threats are likely to increase and become more severe. OS X is not by any means a bulletproof operating system and Apple will have to continue to be vigilant about security in order to stay ahead of hackers.

THE TORIES HAVE PASSED A BILL GIVING THE GOVERNMENT POWERS TO LEGALLY MURDER THEIR POLITICAL.....
THE TORIES HAVE PASSED A BILL GIVING THE GOVERNMENT POWERS TO LEGALLY MURDER THEIR POLITICAL OPPONENTS. YES, SERIOUSLY.
Tory MPs have passed an extraordinary piece of legislation which effectively hands the UK government and various state actors sweeping powers to commit serious crimes against their political opponents – including torture and even murder – without facing any legal repercussions whatsoever.
The government say that the bill is to put into formal legislation a previously secret power known as the "Third Direction" – an unofficial directive which allows covert state actors, such as MI5 operatives or undercover police officers, to break the law if they believe their actions will prevent a threat to national security or stop another serious crime from happening. However, critics of the bill – including human rights organisations, opposition MPs, and even a number of Tory MPs themselves – have claimed the legislation is "rushed", "ill-thought through", and effectively hands the government a "licence to kill" whoever they want for any reason they see fit.
Whilst similar laws exist in both Canada and the USA to allow state actors to commit crimes in order to maintain national security, the legislation in both of these countries explicitly excludes certain serious crimes such as murder and torture.
However, the Tories' Covert Human Intelligence Bill makes no such stipulations – placing "no specific limitations on the type of criminal activity that may be authorised".
So how do you feel about your government now? What sort of serious crime are we talking about here? One that charges an 18 year old boy £10000 for holding a large party perhaps?
Right onto food….and our food supply…..
A huge chicken factory in Norfolk where more than 130 workers tested positive for coronavirus has reopened with disinfectant spraying booths at its entrances.
Banham Poultry in Attleborough, which accounts for 7 per cent of UK chicken processing, closed its cutting room for two weeks from August 27 following an outbreak of the virus.
The shutdown cost the business around £2million a week, while factory owners had to cull 380,000 birds – a total stock loss of nearly £4million.
Dr Simon Clarke, a cellular microbiologist at the University of Reading, previously told MailOnline that it was notable that food factories seemed to have been the centre of outbreaks more than other factories where people might be close together.
He said: 'There are problems in this country, in Germany, in the United States. There is something common between them – it's not happening in engineering or clothing factories where you also might expect people to be in close proximity to one another.
'One assumes – but it's just an idea – that the cold environment makes people more susceptible to the virus.
'Cold weather irritates the airways and the cells become more susceptible to viral infection.'
What do you think that is going to do to our food supply? You can't just replace 380,000 birds. Now these places are freezing cold even in the middle of summer so it's really not unusual to get a cold or a chill and I don't have to be a cellular microbiologist. I have actually worked in a chicken factory – one summer and after a shift on a baking hot day outside it takes ages to get warm again.
This comes on top of:
October 6: Karro Food Group pork processing plant in Scunthorpe
September 30: Pilgrim's Pride food factory in Pool, near Redruth, Cornwall
September 23: Greggs factory in Newcastle
September 11: Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire pudding factory in Hull

August 21: Greencore in Northampton
August 20: Cranswick in Ballymena, Northern Ireland
August 18: Bakkavor in Newark
August 17: 2 Sisters Food Group in Coupar Angus, Tayside

June 19: Rowan Foods in Wrexham, Wales
June 17: 2 Sisters food factory in Anglesey, North Wales
May 15: Cranswick, Barnsley
May 11: Moy Park in Dungannon, Northern Ireland
This is obviously going to have an impact and what's to say that the government isn't specifically testing food processing outlets?
Tomorrow sees The Government will face huge opposition inside and outside Parliament to its stance on food import standards under future trade deals when the Agriculture Bill is debated in the House of Commons on Monday.
Government Ministers have made it clear they intend to reject key amendments to the Bill voted for in the House of Lords last month when it comes to a vote next week. But the Government faces mounting criticism from Opposition politicians, some Conservative MPs, a growing number of celebrities, farming, environmental, animal welfare organisations and members of the public, as reinforced by public surveys and petitions on the issue.
To be perfectly honest I've been reading the way that pigs are reared in US and UK and you really wouldn't want to import their meat. In fact someone on my timeline yesterday said that the US had just passed a bill to say that cancerous meat can be eaten in US and I did indeed find a link:
*New USDA Ruling Allows for Chicken to Be Produced From Diseased Birds
Now, as a direct result, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service said it will allow the sales of chicken meat made from birds that have had diseases. And yes, that's for human consumption.
Bloomberg reports that in July, the agency accepted a petition from the National Chicken Council to allow slaughterhouses to process birds infected with Avian Leukosis. The infection causes a condition akin to cancer in chickens, where malignant tumors and lesions can develop.
Not only will inspectors not be required to examine the first 300 birds of each flock for signs of the disease, but processors will also be allowed to simply cut the tumors off and process the rest of the bird.
And eating meat of sub-par quality isn't the only negative outcome. Avian Leukosis is a rare but highly contagious disease that affects birds and poultry, and while it's unlikely to be transmitted from birds to humans, it isn't entirely impossible. According to Bloomberg, the indication of cross-species transmission comes from U.K. workers who were exposed to birds infected with the disease and have developed antibodies.
Now Rewilding Britain is very happy with the Agriculture Bill because it will reward farmers for the work they do to safeguard our environment and helping meet crucial goals on climate and biodiversity. Not necessarily additional food production eh?**
Finally whilst we talk about food,
Universities are facing anger from students over conditions some have faced while self-isolating in campus accommodation.
Students have criticised the cost and quality of food provided to them by universities while in isolation.
Undergraduates say food parcels have often been filled with "junk", meaning they have had to request fresh fruit and vegetables from parents.
Institutions said they were working hard to provide students with supplies.
People told to self-isolate because of coronavirus must stay at home for at least 10 days under rules punishable by fines.
Universities UK has issued guidance on best practice for supporting students who are required to self-isolate.
'Expensive prison' First-year economics and politics student Tess Bailie, 18, began a social media campaign after hearing of especially poor conditions for those isolating on her campus.
Out-of-date food and a lack of catering for religious and dietary requirements are among the complaints at the University of Edinburgh's Pollock Halls, dubbed the "UK's most expensive prison".
"Students are saying the only thing saving them was the fact that half of them have Covid and they can't taste it anyway," Ms Bailie said, referring to a common Covid-19 symptom.
So our government was planning all of this, all the way along…...if your government has authorised the killing of its own people, why would they be bothered about whether we got oranges from the EU or nowhere?

There are several socially conscious business establishments in the Orange Walk District that have made their contributions within the community.
Today one of these business establishments made a significant contribution towards one of the noblest work being done with children at the Saint Peter's Anglican School. The school is currently running a feeding program that has been benefiting fifty-five children.
Proprietor of Nahil Mayab, Osmany Salas, and his team of employees, joined forces with the school's administration and held a salpicon sale that was one hundred percent success. Salas says the gesture in helping the community, is something they as an establishment, try to do once a year.
School Principal Rosanna Briceno says that they have been struggling to keep the program afloat, which has also been extended to a milk program in the mornings. The assistance therefore is greatly appreciated.
The contribution should help the school's feeding program for one month. Salas encourages other businesses to follow suite.

Mondelēz International agreed to purchase a twelve-year power purchase agreement (PPA) under which Mondelēz International will purchase the energy delivered to the electricity grid from a 65-megawatt portion of Enel Green Power North America's Roadrunner project.
The Roadrunner solar project, a solar farm in Texas, United States, is Enel Green Power's largest solar project in the country…
The partnership enables Mondelēz International to make substantial progress against its sustainability goals by reducing 80,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions – that's 5 percent of the company's global manufacturing emissions.
The renewable energy purchased will be enough to produce more than 50 percent of all the Oreo cookies consumed in the U.S. annually.
This is an all too typical ruse. The Oreos folks are still getting their electricity from the grid and it's still likely produced using natural gas as the fuel source. All they're doing is buying a certificate saying their solar provider is somehow putting 65 MW into the grid some other place. We don't know if it's the same grid. We don't know how the 65 MW is calculated. We don't know when the 65 MW is going into the grid or at what price; if it's going in at retail and at a time when there's plenty of supply already, then it's simply adding to the cost of electricity and accomplishing nothing. This is the nature of these deals. They serve no interests other than to brand a company green and do some very profitable rent-seeking at other rate-payers' expense.
Yes, We Have No Bananas or Wells Either,
But We Do Have Peer Review
And, there's this from the annals of peer reviewed junk science studies by fractivist academics looking to ride the shiny green train carrying bananas:
A new academic study linking the amount of radon present in a home to its proximity to deep-shale oil and gas "fracking" wells cites Athens County as having the most of these wells in the state of Ohio, with 108.
There's one problem with that statistic: Athens County does not have 108 deep-shale fracking wells. In fact, it has zero. The number of horizontally drilled fracking wells in some eastern Ohio counties shown on a map that's part of the study also appears to be incorrect.
Mark Bruce, a spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' Division of Oil and Gas Resource Management, said Friday that the agency is working with the University of Toledo researchers who performed the radon/fracking study "to get their numbers right."
…Since early last week, coverage of the UToledo study has been all over the web, with authoritative research, professional and science websites such as ScienceDaily, The Science Times, Phys.Org and Engineering 360 trumpeting its results. Most repeat some version of this paragraph early in their articles: "From the distribution, most of the fracking wells are located in eastern Ohio, while Athens County has the highest number of fracking wells…"
The study, called "Impact of the Hydraulic Fracturing on Indoor Radon Concentrations in Ohio: A Multilevel Modeling Approach," recently was published on the website of the journal Frontiers in Public Health…
According to the study, the UToledo scientists geocoded 118,421 homes in all 88 Ohio counties between 2007 and 2014, and documented how close the homes were to any of 1,162 fracking wells in the state.
That total number of fracking wells, as stated in the UToledo study, also is wrong, according to Bruce of the ODNR.
He told The Athens NEWS Friday morning that the UToledo study gave incorrect numbers for the overall number of deep-shale fracking wells in Ohio (more than 2,600, not 1,162); deep-shale fracking wells in Athens County (zero, not 108); and drilling in some other Ohio counties (for example, the study shows Carroll County southeast of Canton as having between 7 and 19 fracking wells; it actually has had "476 horizontal wells… drilled and hydraulically fractured," Bruce said).
"We don't believe these numbers (in the Toledo study) are accurate," Bruce said. "We are working with them to get it right."
…When the study was released last week, Bruce explained, "we immediately reached out to the University of Toledo to share some of our concerns related to the number of wells cited in the study. The researchers responded, indicating they were going to review their procedures used and get back in touch with us. The Division is ready to help the authors utilize and analyze oil and gas well data so that cited information is presented accurately because currently the Division is confident it is not."
…When asked whether those incorrect numbers might raise questions about the study's overall conclusions, Kumar replied that he and his researchers are "checking all the available files used in the analysis…
Well, it's nice the researchers are checking their files, isn't it? This incident shows just how junky much of the junk science conducted around fracking really is.
Remember that other Ohio study, the one from the University of Cincinnati? Well, that one the researchers had the intellectual honesty to admit they were wrong and withdrew the study, but not in this instance.
No, the University of Toledo is going to check their files. Maybe they ought to check the ODNR files after they've withdrawn this study? And, why didn't the peer reviewers, Dragoslav R. Nikezic, University of Kragujevac in Serbia and Gulnihal Ozbay, from Delaware State University, catch this? We're told peer review is everything, but it seems to be nothing. Yes, they have no bananas.
Shell Launching the "Petrochemical Appalachian Renaissance"
It's happening!
As Shell Chemicals' expanding steel metropolis on the banks of the Ohio River takes shape, attention is focusing more acutely on what comes next.
The next ethane cracker.
The next billion dollar project.
The "petrochemical Appalachian Renaissance."
"Shell's extraordinary — it's a watershed event — but it's one plant," said Kenneth Humphreys, senior advisor at the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy, whose entire job is to pave the way for more such developments in Appalachia.
"Over the coming decade, it's very possible to realize 100,000 plus jobs," he said.
That would mean several cracker plants like Shell's converting ethane extracted from shale wells into materials used in chemical production; a cluster of factories that would take those materials and turn them into consumer products; and maybe an underground storage hub for natural gas liquids…
Shell's site will reach "peak construction" later this year, said company spokesman Michael Marr. That will bring 6,000 workers to the Potter Township campus…
When operating, the facility will have about 500 employees…
The on-going construction of the Shell Cracker Plant in Beaver County, Pennsylvania in, January 2019.
The workforce currently onsite may not have far to travel for their big project if the long-awaited decision on an ethane cracker in Ohio comes back positive — something many at the petrochemical conference considered inevitable.
"It's definitely happening," guaranteed Charlie Schliebs, managing director at Stone Pier Capital…
Project managers for the Ohio proposal have also contracted with Bechtel, the engineering and construction firm that's heading up the Shell job — creating the possibility that the thousands of workers currently employed in Beaver County could have no more than 60 miles to go when their work is finished here.
The continuity would be critical, said Bechtel's senior vice president in charge of Shell's Pennsylvania cracker construction, Paul Marsden…
The Shell project pulls workers from 15 different unions, he said…
Mr. Howell stressed that 80 percent of all materials for the project are made in the U.S.
As the music soared and the camera panned from one group of hard-hatted workers walking in slow motion to another, the voice of legendary Pittsburgh Steeler Rocky Bleier said that this is "a plant built of, by and for the American worker."
Notice what a different attitude exists in Western Pennsylvania as opposed to Eastern Pennsylvania? Yeah. I did, too.

Q: UITableView background image alpha problems I have a UIView with a UITableView for a subview.  The UIView has an image applied to its background via setBackGroundColor, and I have applied a background to the UITableView in the same manner.  Both images are PNGs, and the the background for the UITableView has levels of transparency in it that don't appear to be working -- the PNG seems to be rendered without regard to the transparency data within it -- I should be seeing the background of the UIView through it.  The basic code I am using for applying the background images is:
UIImage *patternImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"background.png"];
[tableContainer setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage: patternImage]];

I'm stumped. Any ideas?

A: You need to make sure your table view is not opaque.
In Interface Builder, uncheck your table view's 'Opaque' setting. Or, in code,
tableView.opaque = NO;

Keep in mind that any sort of transparency in regard to table views will slow performance dramatically. If you only have a few rows, you'll probably be OK, but if you do any scrolling, be prepared for some pain. Make sure you test on a real device before release.

A: Turns out that I needed to set the backgroundColor of the cell's contentView rather than setting the backgroundColor of the cell itself.
Thanks again for the help!

Chuhak & Tecson employees teamed up recently to fight malaria across the globe.
The firm held a Jeans Day on Friday, September 23 to benefit the Clarke Cares Net for Net Project. On Jeans Days, employees who donate to the selected charity partner are allowed to wear jeans to work.
Collectively, Chuhak attorneys and staff donated more than $700 to the Net for Net Project. These funds will buy 280 malaria nets to protect families in Nigeria.
A number of Chuhak employees also attended a golf outing and banquet September 22 that benefitted the Net for Net Project. Clarke Cares is working to raise enough money to send 50,000 malaria nets to Nigeria.
Malaria, which is transmitted to humans through infected mosquitoes, primarily affects people living in tropical climates. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that there are between 300 and 500 million malaria cases every year, with more than a million deaths resulting from the disease. Malaria nets, which also protect against lymphatic filariasis (also known as elephantiasis), create a protective barrier at night, enabling people to sleep without the risk of becoming infected.

YSIGIM – polski zespół doom metalowy działający głównie w latach 1993-1997.

Historia
Główne lata działalności zespołu to 1993-1997. W tym czasie zespół nagrał dwie kasety demo oraz jedną płytę wydaną przez amerykańską wytwórnię Wild Rags Records.

Po zawieszeniu działalności w 1997 roku obaj muzycy YSIGIM tworzyli zespół SEASON grający gothic rock/metal. W 2004 roku nastąpiła reaktywacja zespołu, powstało 6 nowych utworów, które do dnia dzisiejszego nie zostały udostępnione w finalnej formie (zespół zaprezentował tylko dwa miksy dwóch utworów w koncencji odbiegającej od ich dotychczasowej stylistyki, w dużo bardziej elektronicznych aranżacjach). Na 2014 rok zaplanowane było zakończenie przez zespół prac nad starymi utworami.

Failure to provide fire safety training has a lethal cost
The humble fire marshal is often perceived as the figure in the hi-vis vest who escorts staff and visitors off the premises and takes the headcount on the street during one of those unwelcome fire drills, or, even more annoyingly, when there is a 'false' alarm. But, wait… there is far more to this greatly understated role than many workers or errant employers and owners might imagine.
The fact is that having properly trained fire marshals saves money and can prevent tragedy. They are the eyes that focus daily on hazards and potential risk; they offer solutions before fire occurs and they provide the vital skills and required action in case of the real thing.
Effective fire safety training within your company or organisation is invaluable. And the price to pay in its absence is there for all to see in terms of financial and human cost. The very recent tragedy at a shopping and leisure centre in Kemerovo, Russia which resulted in the deaths of at least 64 people, many of them children, has inevitably captured the world's headlines. Fire escape routes were blocked, the fire alarm was inoperable, and no instructions or directions were given to any of those trapped inside the centre. But there are many more stark examples of similar failures in recent years, such as the tragic fire at the Kentex slipper manufacturing factory in Valenzuela, Philippines in 2015 which killed 74 people.
It was reported that the factory's workers had received no safety training; in the event, nearly all those who died ended up inexplicably on the second floor of the building and were trapped fatally by barred windows. A survivor stated: "We were running not knowing exactly where to go .. if people had known what to do, it would have been different."
Training is an integral part of fire safety law
Fire safety law in the UK is set out in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This makes it clear that you must have risk assessments and that training is an integral part of implementing fire safety. Article 21 states that the responsible person "must ensure that his employees are provided with adequate safety training" and that the training "must include suitable and sufficient instruction and training on the appropriate precautions and actions to be taken by the employee in order to safeguard himself and other relevant persons on the premises."
Now, before you fall too easily into the comfortable notion that what happens internationally cannot happen at home, think again. For an indication of how a disaster may be waiting to happen near you tomorrow, simply view on line your local public notices board to see who has been issued in recent times with Enforcement or Prohibition/Restriction Notices.
The London Fire Brigade's public notices summary information site http://www.london-fire.gov.uk/boro_summary_info.asp?id=1 provides a fascinating insight, naming names, businesses and establishments. The breaches of the law are not only embarrassing for those concerned but also hugely alarming in the nature and level of the compliance failures. In many cases, Article 21 is one of those areas breached. Fire marshals are not being trained and staff are not being informed about fire safety.
Endangering lives and having a huge financial impact
As well as endangering lives, the failure to provide adequate fire safety training for staff can have a huge financial impact on business. An Oxford Street store operated by the prominent fashion retailer New Look was destroyed by fire in 2007 with massive resulting disruption to trade in the country's most famous shopping high street. An estimated 35 fire engines and 150 fire fighters were needed to tackle the blaze; crews remained at the scene for three days. More than 50 stores in Oxford Street suffered severe disruption to trade throughout the period.
The court case which followed heard that fire alarms had been turned off after sounding, staff did not know evacuation procedures and that the first phone call alerting the fire brigade came not from the store but from an office worker in an adjacent building. Consequently, New Look pleaded guilty to two breaches of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The breaches were insufficient staff training and storage blocking escape routes. The company was fined £400,000 and ordered to pay £136,000 costs.
Penalties are increasing dramatically
Penalties are now increasing dramatically. Recent legislation means that the punishment is more likely to fit the crime (please refer to my February 2016 blog). Mandatory sentencing guidelines for health and safety offences, corporate manslaughter and food safety and hygiene offences in England and Wales have been introduced. The definitive guide produced by the Sentencing Council has had a major bearing on the level of fines and prison sentences imposed for offences as well as putting far greater emphasis on culpability and the level of exposure to risk of injury or death.
The Guide states: "Health and safety offences are concerned with failures to manage risks to health and safety and do not require proof that the offence caused any actual harm. The offence is in creating a risk of harm."
Failure to provide fire safety training will create a risk of harm
Although the guidelines are not concerned directly with breaches of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, or refer specifically to 'fire', it is clear that, in practice, the courts have the ability to apply similar criteria and mirror the health and safety guidelines in sentencing for offences under the Order. This is reflected in the fact that there is no limit on fines for sentencing in the Crown Court under the Order and there is already plenty of case law where companies and individuals have been punished heavily for creating the fire risk alone.
A failure to provide fire safety training is most certainly regarded as creating a risk of harm. Therefore, companies, establishments and responsible persons such as directors could also face punishment for simply creating the risk, even without incident. Step forward the humble fire marshals who are now well and truly elevated to their correct status!
Give Steve a call on 0208 408 1560 or email him to find out how to ensure your business is compliant with fire safety training and what Safety Delivery can do to help.

JOIN US NEXT MONTH FOR STRONG BABES: BOLD & BEAUTIFUL EVENT! GET TICKETS HERE!
I strongly believe we were all created to do good and be a blessing to others. For the second time ever, I wanted to use my birthday to do just that. Two years ago, instead of a big dinner party or gifts from friends, I used my birthday to raise funds for an orphanage in India where the orphan percentage is among the highest in the world at 20 million. This year, I asked everyone to support Charity Water: a non profit organization that helps fund clean water access to third-world countries.
3. Raise awareness to the importance of clean water and how privileged we are to have access to something so simple and yet so vital.
Being a part of the Strong Babes community is all about empowering and uplifting each other while becoming the best versions of ourselves from the inside out. My only birthday wish was that we could extend this same message across the world, and I think we accomplished just that.
Last Saturday, we gathered together for not just one, but TWO workouts at Hint water HQ! The plan for two slots was so that more of us babes could attend since the last few events completely sold out. We started the party with photos, water tastings (Hint has SO many yummy flavors), & getting to know each other better. After the workout, we enjoyed coffee by High Brew Coffee & homemade cookies by me!
See you babes, next month for our debut in the east bay!

The business case for health care is different than that for other projects. For one thing, about 76 percent of private, or nongovernmental, hospitals (employing 83 percent of health-care workers) are nonprofit organizations, which means that the profit motive is less imperative and that access to capital for new projects is more difficult. Many hospitals are affiliated with universities and serve teaching and research functions that require accommodation in each project. Of the total number of hospitals, government hospitals represent about 20 percent, private nonprofits 60 percent, and private for-profits 20 percent.
(The "Drivers for Green Buildings and Operations" sidebar) shows some of the business-case drivers for green buildings (and green operations) in health care. The primary driver for health care, as for most large institutions, is money — specifically, the return on energy-savings investments. Favorable community public relations come in second.
The rest of the business-case benefits are slowly gaining acceptance, particularly among the more progressive institutions. Some of the possible business-case benefits, such as recruiting and retaining nurses and other key staff, while more accepted in other building types, are still seen as speculative advantages of green health-care facilities.
(The "Barriers to Green Buildings in Health Care" sidebar) presents some of the barriers to green health-care design, construction, and operations. The restrictive environment of health-care design is certainly a major factor: The need to prevent and control disease and to meet stringent building-code requirements drives a lot of design decisions.
But the primary barrier is still cost. In 2005, green-building activists at a major Midwestern university called me asking for help in advising their new $500 million hospital on the benefits of green building and LEED certification.
Jerry Yudelson, PE, MBA, LEED AP, is principal of Yudelson Associates. Chair of the 2008 Greenbuild International Conference and Expo, he has trained more than 3,300 building-industry professionals on the LEED rating system. He is the author of six books and many research studies, white papers, and articles on green buildings. He can be contacted through his Website, www.greenbuildconsult.com.

Economic return on energy- and water-efficiency investments; protection against future increases in energy prices through peak-shaving and other demand reduction measures.
Consistency with the health and healing mission of health-care institutions — for example, designing healthier buildings for patients and staff.
Economic gain from faster healing (and quicker discharge) of patients who have views of the outdoors and healing gardens on premises.
Public-relations benefits, considering the many stakeholders in the hospital and health-care universe.
Health benefits to the workforce from use of less-toxic chemicals in facility management.
Recruitment and retention of key employees (nurses and other skilled practitioners).
Evidence-based health care should be seen in evidence-based green buildings.
The LEED rating system is difficult to apply in health care because it was designed primarily for office buildings.
The health-care industry is highly regulated and risk-averse. As a result, innovations must meet many tests before being adopted.
Initial cost is the driving force for all decisions. It is difficult to make a case for investing extra money in operations vs. patient treatment and staff compensation, for example.
LEED is perceived to add significant costs to projects.
Evidence of benefits such as productivity and healthier working conditions is inadequate.
Health-care building codes restrict options such as natural ventilation and underfloor air-distribution systems because of their focus on disease prevention.
Long lead times for project design and construction, together with cost escalations in materials and labor, make it difficult to keep a focus on green design decisions.

I am a college professor and needed to make a maze for my rat to learn. I started with Lego brand and while an excellent product they are expensive. I decided to try ToysOpoly. I cannot tell the difference between Lego and ToyOpoly bricks. They are perfect. There are about 2,000 of Toysopoly bricks in the maze in the photo. They fit firmly and perfectly. They are sturdy and every piece works perfectly. For the Maze project which is 20" x 20" (4 baseplates) I saved about $260 over using Lego. The company is extremely responsive to questions and helped me with large orders - I bought a total of 4,000 of their bricks. For your projects use Toysopoly bricks. That maze is 20 levels high and the inside is filled with little walls. It is sturdy and that is a testament to how good their bricks are. The maze is excellent and I very happy I came across ToysOpoly.
The new piece was not the same size as the original and did not fit well. There is about 2 inches of excess zipper, so it buckles.
Sarah was amazing with helping me get the product I needed!! I love the quality and so do my pups!
Excellent! Perfect fit. Essentially identical to Lego at 1/3 the price.

LG announces 'Raspberry Rose' V30 for CES
The LG V30 was somewhat of a mixed bag. While the hardware and design is excellent, the high price and questionable display quality made it a hard sell for many. LG seems to think a new color option might convince a few buyers, so it has been working on a 'Raspberry Rose' model. The new color will be shown off at CES later this month.
Check out XDA's incredibly detailed analysis of the Pixel 2 XL's display
Sometimes you don't want to read up on how someone "feels" about a product. Everything's subjective, of course, and it's good to combine multiple viewpoints, but once in a while, it's nice to just sit down and examine the raw data, that way you can come to your own conclusions. And Dylan Raga over at XDA-Developers just assembled an intense and in-depth analysis of the Pixel 2 XL's display that's worth a read. At least, if you'd like to scratch that purely quantitative itch.
Weekend poll: Do you use a calibrated color profile on your phone?
One of the more vocal complaints leveled against Google's Pixel 2 phones was the display's default color calibration. Although some might prefer the over-saturated vibrance of less accurate color profiles, Google opted for a more calibrated default that was closer to sRGB as a means of providing color-accurate backward compatibility with apps that didn't immediately declare their color space.
Of course, Google later provided an update with a more saturated option for those that wanted it. But we're curious, how many of you actually use calibrated color profiles?
Google Maps is about to get a lot more colorful
The design of Google Maps doesn't get updated very often, so when it does, it's kind of a big deal. The latest tweaks are all about adding a bit more color to the interface and making things a little easier to pick out as a consequence. What you see will also be more relevant to the mode of transport you're using, too.

Samsung rolling out S8 update to address red screen tint problem, Korea only for now
10:16am PDT Apr 27, 2017
It looks like the fix for the S8 and S8+'s red-tint woes may soon be upon us. An update has started rolling out back in Samsung's home market. There's no news yet on how long it might take for the update to be deployed outside of Korea, and it might be subject to carrier approval, further delaying the process. But, there's no arguing that Samsung wasn't quick about it.
Samsung's Galaxy S7 edge will be available in a new Black Pearl color with 128GB of storage on December 9th
7:55pm PST Dec 7, 2016
Samsung is no stranger to coming up with unique colors for its smartphones - the S III came in Pebble Blue, the S6 edge debuted with Emerald Green, the Note5 and S6 edge+ launched with Silver Titanium, and the Note7 (RIP) brought us Coral Blue. Samsung has been steadily adding striking colors like Coral Blue and Pink Gold to the S7 edge, and the latest of these is Black Pearl. It's... black. Very black.
Google Search now has a RGB/Hex color converter
12:55am PDT Oct 9, 2016
Google has been working to bring more and more functionality directly into search results, without the user having to visit a separate site. You can now find your IP address, run a speed test, convert units, and more all from Search. Following that trend, now Google has added an RGB to Hex converter.
If you're unfamiliar, RGB and Hex are both color spaces used to identify colors. For example, #000000 in Hex and (0,0,0) in RGB both refer to Black. Searching 'RGB to Hex' brings up a simple color picker that shows results in RGB and Hex. You can search any Hex or RGB value, and it will show the color in both formats.
Android N Feature Spotlight: Color Balance Calibration Now Available In System UI Tuner
3:03pm PST Mar 9, 2016
Two different phones might have screens that share all the same specs, but in practice they may display colors differently. If you've ever wished you could easily tweak the way those colors are shown, Android N might give it to you. The system UI tuner includes a color calibration menu with sliders for the red, green, and blue channels.
New App: Pixolor Is The Live Eyedropper Tool I've Always Wanted For Android
Liam Spradlin 2015/10/22
One tool that I personally have always wanted on Android but have never actually seen is a live color picker. A floating tool that could grab pixel-specific color values from your screen without the need for screenshots or any other complication. Today it looks like my wish has been granted by embermitre with the release of Pixolor to the Play Store.
Pixolor is basically a floating eyedropper controlled by a persistent notification. You can hide or show the picker, zoom with it, and drag it around to get the hex value for the exact color you see on screen. It will also provide the nearest color from the material design palette and - inside the app - an entire palette based on that color.

Q: обработка двух разных таблиц MySQL есть две таблицы
1 act
id | name   |  data
1  | Ivan   |  2015-01-01
2  | Petr   |  2015-01-03

2 serv
id  |  name  |  data
1   | Serge  |  2015-01-02
2   |  John  |  2015-01-04

я делаю выборку из этих двух таблиц  так  что  они распределяются по датам,  двух таблиц.Получаю я это таким запросом.
select id, name, data from act
union
select id1, name1, data1 from serv
order by data

вопрос в следуюшем мне всеже надо понимать из какой таблицы я получил ну к примеры дату. Такое можно получить метадом MySQl ну или PHP

A: дополнил свой ответ на ваш предыдущий вопрос столбцом «таблица».
повторяю ответ, данный уже там: имена столбцов не обязательно должны совпадать.
SQL Fiddle
MySQL 5.6 Schema Setup:
create table act  (id int, name text, data date);
create table serv (name1 text, data1 date, id1 int);

insert into act values
   (1, 'иван', '2015-01-01')
  ,(2, 'пётр', '2015-01-03')
;

insert into serv (id1, name1, data1) values
   (1, 'сергей', '2015-01-02')
  ,(2, 'джонни', '2015-01-04')
;

Query 1:
select 'act' as `таблица`, id, name, data from act
union
select 'serv', id1, name1, data1 from serv
order by data

Results:
| таблица | id |   name |                      data |
|---------|----|--------|---------------------------|
|     act |  1 |   иван | January, 01 2015 00:00:00 |

A: Так добавьте эту информацию
select 'Это из таблицы 1', id, name, data from act
union
select 'А это- таблицы 2', id1, name1, data1 from serv
order by data

Только насколько я помню, данные должны быть настолько одного типа, что даже длины строк должны совпадать. Так что, проще поставить число - 1 или 2

Labour's Heroic Assumptions
While Grant Robertson was announcing increased benefits and higher spending on social services I couldn't help thinking that his chances of achieving better outcomes remained slender. Since the last election, government agencies have been instructed by ministers to "partner" with Maori in particular and to favour them ahead of other races whenever funding is discussed. Agencies must seek to involve Iwi in decision-making at all levels. But experience is showing them what others have known for years: such a process slows decision-making because Iwi don't have the structures to ensure swift conclusions.
Moreover, the government's professed determination to improve Maori well-being seems to overlook the efforts that have been made by its various agencies over many years now. For decades the Ministry and district health boards, for instance, have been trying to reach Maori whose health outcomes are poorer than those of other races. Officials chase patients who have specialist appointments, but the "do not show" figures remain high; use of freely available flu jabs for those eligible is lower; when medicines are prescribed, pharmacists are often left with uncollected items; polls show Maori are the most reluctant to be vaccinated against Covid; Maori smoking statistics exceed those of other groups; and dietary care still seems to be a low priority. While "by Maori, for Maori" solutions are much promoted these days, many state-funded agencies have been endeavouring to achieve them for years. Maori nurses and teachers, however, are hard to find, and Maori doctors even harder. Scholarships are needed to encourage training, but the arrival in the work force of substantial numbers of new, fully qualified Maori practitioners remains years away.
While all this is true, and public service numbers have risen 8.6% over the last year, another part of the recent budget is actively working against the government's proclaimed intention to diminish poverty. Lifting benefits across the board lessens the attraction of low skilled work and can have the effect of reducing efforts to self-improve. Last week there was a news item about an employer who gave a young man a job. The lad turned up next day, bright eyed and bushy tailed, did a good day's work, but failed to show the following day. When contacted, the young fellow told the employer that the work was too hard, and besides he could get nearly as much money by remaining on a benefit. Apple-growers and winemakers are familiar with such stories. Despite roadside signs offering fruit picking jobs everywhere in Hawke's Bay when I visited a few weeks ago, apples lay on the ground under trees, while grape-growers had also been finding it difficult. Contract workers from marae who once worked at the Gimblett Gravels harvests couldn't be bothered making the effort. It seems quite clear that open entitlement to the dole encourages lethargy and Robertson's higher benefits are unlikely to reduce the problem. And because of Covid there are very few imported seasonal workers. Result? Fruit worth millions of dollars hasn't been harvested.
Perhaps some government initiatives will have a beneficial effect for Maori? Let's hope so. At the very least, all assistance packages should be given measurable targets that must be attained. But I fear we'll find that the statistics - assuming they are properly monitored - will show very little improvement despite the billions that are being spent.
Incentives have to be right before people, whoever they are, make the effort to improve their lives. Sir Apirana Ngata realized this eighty years ago when he advised the leaders of the first Labour Government to be careful about monetary benefits and tie assistance to goals that an intended beneficiary could reasonably be expected to achieve. Elements of this thinking remained embedded in our welfare state for decades. Once upon a time, continued access to an Unemployment Benefit depended on providing evidence one was actively seeking work, or was engaged in an up-skilling programme of some kind. But successive governments gradually removed conditions for receipt of a benefit. The result has been that multi generations remain in poverty with all the social costs to them, and to the taxpayer. Bill English realised this and tried to turn things around, but our "kind" Princess abolished his scheme when she came to office. The numbers on benefits have grown.
I'm prepared to bet there will be little evidence of poverty reduction by the time of the next election and, like what has happened these last three years, there will be several indicators that "progress" is actually going backwards. Didn't someone once say that the height of stupidity was to keep on with failing policies in the expectation one would achieve a better outcome?


When it comes to audio, Klipsch has got to be one of the legends out there. With some of their products coming from as far back as the old school days of hi-fi, it seems as though Klipsch has been through it all. They've not only managed to survive massive industry changes, but they actually made the most of it, and even flourished along the way.
Klipsch has proven to be highly adaptable, over and over again. They certainly deserve a lot of credit for their constant attempts to improve their products and adapt to the industry, as well as the market and various price points. One of their notable creations is the Klipsch RB-61 II – a piece of audio gear definitely worth taking a look at. It's also important to note that Klipsch is the only brand represented twice on our best bookshelf speakers under $500 list (it could very easily have appeared 3 times!). So, stay tuned and keep reading our Klipsch RB 61 II review!
The best thing about the Klipsch RB 61 II is its dynamics and overall sound "warmth".
In addition to music, the RB61 range means it's great for movies and TV – just connect it to your home surround system.
The RB 61 has a very stylish yet discreet design which is perfect for almost all aesthetical needs. No kids? Take the grill off and expose those lovely cones!
It's slightly larger (mainly taller) than other units which offer similar performance. If you don't have enough space for your home theater, or on your shelf-height, you might end up having trouble placing it in the best position.
The very first thing we need to mention is the amazing and pure quality sound that this speaker produces. The Klipsch RB-61 II is excellent in this department. It delivers fully defined sound, balanced in a way that makes it a pleasure for your ears to enjoy each tune. The Klipsch RB-61 II uses a tractrix horn in order to boost the tweeter, which gives the highs a real edge. Another thing worth mentioning is the impressive sound clarity. You'll notice that once you start to move into the mids the tone gets wider, but with no bumps in sight. We must also say that vocals sound astonishing with speaker!
One of the biggest worries of potential bookshelf speaker buyers is the low-end response. However, the Klipsch RB-61 II has that covered. Using a 6.5″ woofer, the bass does its thing in a perfect manner. It makes low-end response defined, fulfilling and thick. The RB-61 II has simple, yet stylish design. The cabinets are firm and made of quality MDF, covered by black vinyl. The front face of this speaker is designed in a way that makes it look like it's genuinely floating. There is a firing port on the front, right underneath the woofer cone. When building the Klipsch RB-61 II, the manufacturer stayed loyal to their classical black and bronze theme, which proved to be a hit with previous versions. This also makes this particular color combo adaptable to pretty much anything you may have in your interior.
If there is one thing that stands out with the Klipsch RB-61 II, that's the amazing combination of hardware. The woofer takes the form of a 6.5′ cone which is highly responsive. You'll find the enhanced titanium tweeter sitting comfy in the tractrix horn. These two transducers, when combined, have the power of 100 Watts RMS. Another useful feature is the front firing port. Whereever you position your speakers, you won't have to worry about the distance from the walls near it, thanks to this particular feature.
We have to end our Klipsch RB 61 II review by stating the obvious – you cannot go wrong by choosing it. Regardless of what your needs are or how large your room is. You can rely on the fact that this amazing speaker is up to the challenge. After all, Klipsch is one of the brands that you can certainly trust when it comes to audio gear. If there's a brand worth investing in, Klipsch is the one. So, don't waste your time or money on anything else, this speaker is an excellent choice, especially for a home theater combo. As it's proven over time with the countless customer reviews, it offers tremendous sound, excellent performance and durability, and most importantly, impeccable sound.
Why not check out the Klipsch RB 61 II on Amazon and see the reviews from other buyers?
