 and in house reference/staff only. The situation in London and UK was very different. In London, beside production and in house/record company staff, record company needed sometimes fast track cutting for song test (for specific â??DJ/radio/journalistâ?�) and used then sometimes acetates for this as it is more simple and fast to obtain. A regular vinyl production needs time (the matrix, the pressingâ?¦) and it is more expensive than a small cut of few 7â?� acetate which for the London (UK) scene 10-15 acetates were sometimes sufficient. Moreover, few years ago there was a plenty of mastering/cutting studios in London. So, the time to obtain them was short. This is also the reason why promo records are mostly the commercial issue (with or without white label/stampsâ?¦) and rarely a dedicated vinyl record which needed specific matrix/pressing as it is cost-expensive. But once again it depend how many copies are needed. However, outside the UK Now this is different with CDR.
From page 21 in the book cure on record by Daren Butler Very rarely is there cause for a Cure acetate to be cut outside the Uk or away from a recording project. So this one sided 7 acetate of the track M is unusual for this reason, it was one of a number of different tracks by The Cure that Elektra Records had specially cut as individual acetates around 88/89, it is thought they were cut, for specific promotional use by a handful of American radio stations, Approximately 15-20 acetates of each track were cut which included a number of tracks only ever released on album, including the holy hour and the funeral party.
Why would you think these are fake acetates Amocure?...They are all from 1988-1989 after the Cure "made it" in America,so the interest would have been huge..if these where sent around to radios or records excecs,i wouldn't be surprised to hear 20/50 of each would have been pressed..Totally genuine i think.
Yes i know, but have you read the sellers explanation? sunsetsunday was the seller on ebay from united states. He sold of a friends collection who had died recently. And his friend worked for a record company, something like that.
Because in the last 10 month, i have seen about 10-15 like this acetate....it is really common for an acetate from 1989 or around, so i'm asking.
Can i ask you why you think these are fake acetates?
Hello, as many people from this site, i have bought from a USA seller, other 2 or 3 acetate like this one.....different tracks but same design. I suspect this are fake acetates. Someone can help me with a proof of autenticity or not? thanks.
Thanks Web, it was very fast!!!!!!!!!!
I have PTSD and small spots on my brain due to the hypoxia but I'm not sure how they affect me. I'm okay, it's been hard trying to re-build, I won't lie. I lost my well-paying job due to needing extended medical leave and things just kinda haven't gotten back up to where they were. But I have a really good tribe for support, and his family is really good to me and supports me too which is nice. I'm just doing my best and sometimes all I can do is just wake up and go through the motions and that's okay. I'll get where i'm supposed to be eventually, wherever that is.Pension Funds
CalPERS CIO to leave at end of year for family reasons
Theodore "Ted" Eliopoulos, CalPERS' chief investment officer, will be leaving the pension fund at the end of 2018, said CEO Marcie Frost at Monday's investment committee meeting.
A nationwide search for his replacement at the $355.9 billion California Public Employees' Retirement System, Sacramento, will be launched immediately, spokeswoman Megan White said in an email.
Mr. Eliopoulos said he is leaving CalPERS for family reasons. His older daughter lives in New York and his younger daughter was just accepted to a college in New York, he told the committee.
"We have some significant health considerations in particular with respect to (our younger daughter), and my wife and I want to make sure that we give her every bit of support as we can as she makes the transition back east," Mr. Eliopoulos said. "And we're thrilled for her and thrilled to be in a position to provide that level of support. And while the decision is tough, I know it's the best one for our family."
He noted that CalPERS has an "incredible investment team" that manages more than 70% of assets internally.
Mr. Eliopoulos has been CIO since September 2014. CalPERS earned a 15.7% net return in 2017, outperforming its benchmark by 25 basis points; for the three years ended Dec. 31, the pension fund returned an annualized net 6.7%, besting its benchmark by 6 percentage points; and for the five years ended Dec. 31, CalPERS earned an annualized 9% net return, outperforming its benchmark by 19 basis points.It is old news by now that large numbers of American college students suffer from low self-esteem and major depression. In one survey, 30% of students reported feeling “so depressed that it was difficult to function” at some point within the past year. Stories of teen and young adult suicides have become alarmingly commonplace, with some 19% of American youth contemplating or attempting suicide every year.
More alarming still, several decades of clinical and educational initiatives aimed at improving self-esteem have not made a dent in these figures. Anyone who has browsed a self-help shelf at Barnes and Noble, consulted a therapist, or watched an episode of Oprah knows that prescriptions for “raising your self-esteem” abound in our culture. Yet, despite the many injunctions to “accept yourself for who you are,” the depression epidemic on campuses shows no signs of abating.
To be fair, modern approaches to treating depression do work for a lot of people. Among those who opt for either medication or evidence-based psychotherapy, some 40-60% of patients show significant improvement in their mood and self-esteem.
But what of the 50% or more whose self-worth does not improve? Clearly, there are numerous potential obstacles that might impede a person’s struggles to (re)gain self-esteem. But there is one universal factor in the development and maintenance of self-worth that cannot be escaped, and yet it is rarely discussed in either books or therapy rooms: by what standard is one’s “worth” to be evaluated?
When we judge someone as “worthy,” it means we like and approve of him or her; our emotional estimate amounts to the judgment that they are good. But any such judgment is made by some standard, some measure of what it means to be good—whether consciously known or not.
For example, if we are filled with admiration for the ingenious, self-made entrepreneur who rises out of the slums and makes his fortune in Silicon Valley, it is because we believe—on some level—that persevering against adversity to achieve one’s personal ambitions is good. If, on the other hand, we believe that sharing in the plight of one’s community is a higher good than personal achievement, we will feel nothing but scorn for the greedy “profit-chaser” who escaped his troubled neighborhood to pursue his own ambition.
Likewise, if our words and actions do not fully match our internalized standard of the “good,” we will not fully admire ourselves. Thus, the standards one has internalized will play a crucial role in one’s self-evaluation. Identifying those standards and working to internalize healthier ones, if needed, should therefore be a crucial step in any effort to improve self-esteem.
Yet this step is conspicuously missing from prominent therapeutic approaches. After all, any attempt to guide the selection of a proper standard of the “good” presupposes a standard of moral goodness, which is a question for philosophy, not psychology. The default answer accepted by most of our culture (including psychologists) is: “Be selfless.” But how does this bode for self-esteem?
Imagine you are about to graduate from college and you’re developing a cool new idea for an app. You do some research into the current world of tech start-ups, and are excited to discover that Silicon Valley may be ripe for your invention. But as you plan your big move to San Francisco, you are reminded of a competing “duty”: your mother urges you to return home to help her keep an eye on your drug-addicted brother. What do you do?
If your moral worth is measured by your selfless devotion to others in need, the “good” choice is obvious: you must return home. Yet you also know that your chance at happiness and self-fulfillment awaits you in Silicon Valley, and some part of you even feels there is good in dedicating yourself to the fearless pursuit of your ambitions.
Suppose you decide to pursue your business venture. Mixed with any pride you might feel as you begin to profit from your new invention will be some guilt and self-loathing at the selfish path you have chosen. The weight of that guilt, in turn, will sap your enthusiasm about developing your business. Absent any moral compass to direct your pursuit of an ambition you regard as inherently immoral, you will likely lose focus and become increasingly half-hearted in your efforts to perfect your idea. It is in such circumstances that ambitious people develop addictions of their own, to distract them from their guilt. Before you know it, you will have undermined
