The gaming industry has always been viewed as more male-dominant, and it's no surprise as to why. Back in the day gambling was considered a man's activity and perhaps back in the day it was. This might explain why online casinos originally set their eyes on men to make up their target market. But in the past years a number of reports have shown that women make up nearly half of the online gambling community in New Zealand. Yet for some reason, the majority of online casinos and pokies, as slot machines are called in Down Under, seem to cater almost exclusively to men! Live casinos are almost exclusively run by sexualized female dealers, the pokies feature main characters who more often than not are butch, strong men. Even the non-human characters are given male names.
That being said, there are a number of online casinos and software providers that have picked up on the importance of catering to their female clientele. While new pokies are released every month we are slowly starting to see more and more female-oriented ones pop up. Not only are they fancy and colourful but they also offer a ton of advanced features that enable the player to quickly learn how to win on pokie machines nz. Here are a few of these fantastic slot games to try out:
All of us ladies can agree that Bridesmaids was a great movie. It has drama, comedy, a hearty feel - we laughed, we cried, we enjoyed. It was so common in the online casino world for slots to be made after popular male-oriented films, but this was one of the first pokies produced based on popularity by a female audience. This pokie features friendship spins, a boutique bonus, and even a magic moments bonus - all thematic from the film and very relatable. The symbols are a blend of classic card symbols (spade, heart, etc.) and photos of the characters in their finest wedding garb. This pokie is sure to take you on a trip down memory lane to all the drama of when you were a bridesmaid yourself.
Let's go GNO! We all love a night out on the town with our favourite gal pals, and this online slot is based off of just that. The symbols are spot on - fruity cocktails, a tube of lipstick, a bedazzled flask, and more. And the server with the platter of drinks? A guy! What brings this female forward pokie to the next level is the wild glitterball which gives you the chance to double your winnings.
A pokie with a strong female lead? Yes, please! This is one of the most popular online pokies of all time, and it's no wonder why. The graphics are state-of-the-art and with the wild that doubles payouts you can win up to 180 free spins. Players can even win 10,000x their stake on every single spin. This pokie breathes the richness and luxury that was infused in Cleopatra and her kingdom.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend, and in this pokie a diamond is a player's very best friend. This slot machine features gems, cats, fruits and even a butler who tends to your every wish. When playing this pokie you're meant to feel as though you're living a life of luxury full of glamorous shopping sprees and fabulous nights out on the town. Spin a double diamond and your winnings will cover your next trip to the spa!
At times even the most progressive woman might feel as though she's living in a man's world, and it's our duty as women to change that reality for the better. Online gaming is a fun activity which can be very rewarding. Many players turn to online gaming for some fun and relaxation, and no woman should ever feel as though she is not represented in the pokies she plays. The pokies on our list are meant to make you feel feminine while doing what you love.

Help! My Friend Is a No Show
Dear Armchair Psychologist,
I have a friend who doesn't reply to my messages about meeting for dinner, etc. Although, last week I ran into her at a local restaurant of mine, it has always been awkward to be friends with her. Should I continue our friendship or discontinue it? We've been friends for a total four years and nothing has changed. I don't feel as comfortable with her as my other close friends, and I don't think I'll ever be able to reach that comfort zone in pure friendship.
Dear Sadsies,I am sorry to hear you've been neglected by your friend. You may already have the answer to your question, since you're evaluating the non-existing bond between yourself and your friend. However, I'll gladly affirm to you that a friendship that isn't reciprocated is not a good friendship.
I have had a similar situation with a friend whom I'd grown up with but who was also consistently a very negative person, a true Debby Downer. One day, I just had enough of her criticism and vitriol. I stopped making excuses for her and dumped her. It was a great decision and I haven't looked back. With that in mind, it could be possible that something has changed in your friend's life, but it's insignificant if she isn't responding to you. It's time to dump her and spend your energy where it's appreciated. Don't dwell on this friend. History is not enough to create a lasting bond, it only means just that—you and your friend have history—so let her be history!
- The Armchair Psychologist

- What is artificial eye?
- Artificial eye or Art Eye is a custom made lens or shell which is made according to the patient's other eye to fit in disfigured eye. It gives natural and life like look.
- Who is an Ocularist?
- Ocularist is a person trained in the making & fabrication of custom artificial eye. He/She performs the procedure with details to make a most natural looking artificial eye.
- What an Art Eye does for a patient?
- When an Art Eye is fitted in the disfigured eye it looks like a natural eye. For general people it is difficult to make out the difference between the natural eye & Art Eye. Generally with the Art Eye patient is able to blink normally and the specially designed Art Eye moves like natural eye.
- What is the difference between ordinary/readymade artificial eye and Art Eye?
- We believe every patient is precious so an Art Eye is especially made for them. It is made with precision using high technology to provide most natural look to the patient. On the other hand ordinary/readymade artificial eye is made in factories to sell in the shops in bulk. It is almost impossible to find a piece which matches the fitting of patient's eye socket, size, shape, contour, color, Iris size, centeration etc altogether.
- What is the advantage of Art Eye?
- As it is mentioned above Art Eye is a custom made artificial eye fabricated using highest technologies. Art Eye looks like natural life like eye. It is nearly similar to patient's other eye. Patient can use it for long time without removal. Art Eye moves like natural eye and patient can blink normally over the Art Eye. Due to its MIM processing it is most comfortable artificial eyes.
- How long an Art Eye lasts?
- It is reported that with the age there are chances of change in eye tissues which can cause slight problem in fitting of prosthesis. We recommend to get a new Art Eye made after 5-7 years.
- Does an Art Eye need frequent removal?
- No. We recommend to use Art Eye as a continuous wear. Patient can easily sleep with the Art Eye in. Cleaning of Art Eye is recommended once in a month only.
- Does the Art Eye move like natural eye?
- Art Eye is made by MIM process to provide best possible eye movement to the patient. When an Art Eye is fitted over the remaining eye it makes a power grip with the eye and in result shows very good eye movement. To see the eye movement please see this video. (Link of video here)
How an Art Eye is made?
Procedure of making an Art Eye begins after examining the patient. We design a custom plan of making Art Eye for each patient according to his/her condition. First step is taking the impression of the eye socket which is used to prepare a dummy wax eye. This wax eye is tried in patient's eye socket and modified according to the other eye. Then eye is centred by placing an Iris button over the wax eye to find the exact location for cornea. With the help of this wax eye an acrylic eye is prepared which is painted according to the patient's other eye. This painted acrylic eye is laminated with very high quality of transparent acrylic so that color of Art Eye becomes permanent. After high grade polishing, detail inspection and ultrasonic cleaning it is dispensed to the patient.

Mock The Week star Gary Delaney headlines the latest Funhouse Comedy Club event, taking place in Derby on Saturday, October 18.
The venue for the gig, which starts at 7.30pm, is the city’s Silk Mill Museum.
After achieving huge success at the first Derby Comedy Festival, Funhouse Comedy is returning to Derby with a stellar line up of comedians.
Gary Delaney is a regular guest on TV’s Mock The Week and is also a writer for TV, radio and other comedians.
He was the only stand-up to have two of his jokes named in the top ten gags at 2010’s Edinburgh Fringe.
Well known for his taut, brilliant one-liners Gary Delaney is very much in demand on the comedy circuit. The large quantity of his quick-fire gags leaves his audiences struggling to remember them all.
Supporting will be the loud and confident Ben Schofield, with a lively and animated delivery of his unique tales and punchlines. His sometimes off-colour and to some extent bizarre thinking, is both clever and ridiculous at the
Also appearing will be George Zachwho, who after gaining a degree in England, decided not to return to his home on a Greek island. Instead he chose to follow his passion for comedy and now entertains audiences with his funny
Compere for the night will be the amiable and amusing Scott Bennett.
The event is strictly over 16s only and under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
Tickets are priced at £12 and can be purchased through the box office on 01332 255800 or online at www.derbylive.co.uk
n Another top comedian is the city on Wednesday, October 22.
Chris Ramsey performs his show The Most Dangerous Man on Saturday Morning Television at The Venue, based on Abbey Street in the city centre.
Following a sell-out spring run, Celebrity Juiceregular and star of BBC Two’s Hebburn, Chris Ramsey, extends his tour into autumn.
After being “sent off” the Soccer AM sofa last year for misbehaving, Chris wonders whether he really is the Most Dangerous Manon Saturday Morning TV – not to mention, whether he wants to be.
Taking his brush with on air censorship as a jumping off point to have laughs onlife, mistakes, expectation and offence, he examines what happens when you say the wrong thing in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The show starts at 8pm and tickets are priced at £17.75and can be purchased through the box office on 01332 255800or online at www.derbylive.co.uk

Qualities of a Sheriff
A Close Look at the Office and Its Functions
Who is qualified to be Sheriff?
The Santa Barbara County sheriff’s responsibility is to enforce the laws, provide custody and court services, and protect persons and property. About 600 people in the department with various disciplines accomplish those tasks, which are:
Criminal Investigations Division: Coroners, forensics, investigations, narcotics, detective bureaus, high-tech crimes unit, special investigators bureau, sheriff/fire air support unit, search and rescue, special enforcement team, K-9, and also a number of department and community support programs.
The Custody Divisions: Alternative sentencing, electronic monitoring, alternate work program, intake and release, Main Jail operation, Medium Security Facility, overcrowding management, property, custody records, drug and alcohol treatment program, food services, inmate services, laundry, health services, statistics, and transportation.
Operate and Staff: New Cuyama stations, Santa Maria station, City of Buellton, City of Solvang, Lompoc unincorporated area, Santa Ynez Valley, City of Carpinteria, Montecito/Summerland unincorporated area, City of Goleta, Isla Vista Foot Patrol, Santa Barbara County unincorporated area.
The sheriff ‘s task is to develop and manage the resources necessary to accomplish the responsibility. I don’t believe Sergeant Sandra Brown has the experience or education to take on the job of sheriff. Her résumé on her website and letters don’t support that capability. Compare the work experience of the current sheriff and his challenger:
Sergeant Sandra Brown: Detective sergeant, special investigations bureau, Coroner’s Office; Ppast narcotics detective, Isla Vista senior deputy; Community Resource deputy, Buellton; assignments throughout Santa Barbara County; attended local community colleges, USC, Daniel Freeman Paramedic School, 1989.
Sheriff Bill Brown: Three years EMT and paramedic in Los Angeles County; three years police officer Pacifica, California; 12.5 years police officer, supervisor, manager, and command officer, Inglewood, California; 1992 selected police chief, Moscow, Idaho; 1995 selected police chief, Lompoc, California; 2006 elected Sheriff-Coroner of Santa Barbara County, ran unopposed for second term in 2010. Master’s degree in Public Administration USC; BA in management, University of Redlands; graduate of FBI National Executive Institute, Delinquency Control, FBI National Academy, Northwest Command College.

The numbers: Private-sector employment slowed in September as firms added 135,000 jobs ADP reported Wednesday. The gain was close to estimates of economists polled by Econoday, which had forecast a September gain of 140,000 jobs, compared with an original reported increase of 237,000 for August. On Wednesday, ADP revised August’s gain to 228,000.
What happened: The small-business sector lost jobs in September, while medium and large firms reported payroll gains. The trade sector was weak, while manufacturing showed a gain of 18,000 jobs.
Big picture: The ADP data, produced in conjunction with Moody’s Analytics, may be more important than usual this month as it should be much less affected by hurricanes than the government data. Workers are included in ADP payrolls even if they are not paid due to bad weather. Still, Moody’s Analytics’ Chief Economist Mark Zandi said hurricanes Harvey and Irma cut job gains by 50,000-60,000 jobs, mainly by forcing smaller “mom-and-pop” retailers to close.
Analysts look to the ADP report for a hint of what the Labor Department’s jobs report, due two days later, may hold. Economists polled by MarketWatch expect the government’s report to show that nonfarm-payroll jobs rose by 75,000 in September, after a gain of 156,000 in August. Estimates are all over the place given the unknown drag from the hurricanes.
What are they saying?: Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said he was surprised how much impact the hurricanes had on the ADP data. “If the ADP measure was up only 135,000, then there could be downside risks to our estimate that non-farm payrolls increased by 100,000,” he said. Still, markets and the Fed will chalk up any weakness to the hurricanes and largely ignore it, he said.

Ulster Farmers’ Union slams Moy Park temporary closure
Group claims there is a ‘real risk that some farmers will have to close their business’
he Ulster Farmers’ Union (UFU) said Moy Park’s decision to shut down its Ballymena processing facility was “another blow to poultry producers” in the North.
Poultry producers in the North could go out of business because of Moy Park’s decision to “temporarily” close a key production line at its processing plant in Ballymena, farmers’ leaders are warning.
In an unusual move, the North’s largest farming union has publicly highlighted that the industry is “disappointed” that Moy Park is not standing by its producer network in Northern Ireland despite being highly profitable.
The Ulster Farmers’ Union (UFU) said Moy Park’s decision to shut down its Ballymena processing facility was “another blow to poultry producers” in the North.
The UFU deputy president, David Brown said many poultry producers are already under pressure because of their involvement in the controversial Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme, which the UFU said farmers had signed up to for legitimate reasons.
The union claims many farmers are now “financially exposed” because of failings in the scheme and are struggling to repay loans they had taken out for boilers on the strength of what were then seen to be government guarantees on long-term tariffs.
Mr Brown said the combination of outstanding issues surrounding the RHI scheme and Moy Park’s move to “temporarily” stop processing live birds at its Ballymena plant because of what it has described as “challenging market conditions” will mean a further income hit for already struggling poultry producers.
“Moy Park is Northern Ireland’s largest employer and made profits of over £72 million in 2017. While they have said the decision is temporary, producers are very disappointed that the company cannot stand by them during this period of weaker demand.
“In recent years, retailers have been reluctant to pass on inflationary rises and the cost of the living wage to consumers and there is continuous pressure for the supply chain to reduce its costs. Yet again we have seen this squeeze come onto the primary producer and there is a very real risk that some farmers will have to close their business,” Mr Brown warned.

Rogationtide and Ascension Day
Rogationtide (from the Latin rogare: ‘to ask or beseech’) is the three days leading up to the Feast of the Ascension, which is celebrated forty days after Easter Sunday and which commemorates the Ascension of Christ into Heaven. It is celebrated on the fortieth day after Easter because of what it says in Acts 1 verse 3:
“After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.”
In Medieval and Tudor times, this was the traditional time for “beating the bounds”. Parishioners would process around the boundaries of the Parish led by the clergy carrying crosses and banners, praying for farms and a good harvest. Not only did it bless the land, but it also reminded people of landmarks and the boundaries of the Parish. Landmarks were impressed upon children’s minds, in particular, by dangling them upside down at a landmark (a stream or a tree, for example) or beating them there, and then rewarding them with a treat.
The tradition of beating the bounds is kept alive in many parishes in the UK today. One example is All Hallows by the Tower, the oldest church in the City of London. Here is an explanation of the custom from the All Hallows website:
“The Beating Party is made up of students from St Dunstan's College, Catford, who return to their roots in the parish of St Dunstan-in-the-East to take part in the proceedings. The south boundary of the parish is mid-stream of the Thames and the Beating Party, together with the clergy and the Masters of our associated Livery Companies, board a boat which takes them out onto the river to beat that boundary mark. They then return to shore and the procession moves around the parish, stopping at various points for the beating party to mark the boundaries with canes as they go. The ceremony is followed by a service of Festal Evensong at All Hallows.”
What I love about the All Hallows tradition is that every third year the beating party has a mock battle with the Governor and Yeoman Warders of the Tower of London over the boundary that they share. Apparently, this boundary was always in dispute in medieval times and in 1698 there was a riot over it!
Whit Sunday (Pentecost)
This feast day celebrated on the seventh Sunday after Easter, commemorated the Holy Spirit descending on the Apostles and Christ's followers, “All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.”
It was traditional for communities to come together for a “church ale”, a festival which aimed to raise fund for the church. Ale would be brewed for the occasion, and there would be food and entertainment such as Morris dancing and archery competitions. Attendees were expected to make a donation or ale would be sold.
There would also be special Whitsun markets.
Trinity Sunday is celebrated eight weeks after Easter and on the Sunday following Whitsun. It celebrates the Trinity, i.e. the three persons of God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
The Thursday after Trinity Sunday is the feast day celebrating the body and blood of Jesus Christ and the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, the miracles of transubstantiation. It was usually celebrated with a procession of the Host around the town and also with Corpus Christi plays, mystery plays which told stories from the Bible and which provided entertainment and gave moral messages.

On January 13, the CUSD Governing Board voted 3-2 to resume in-person instruction for all grade levels on Tuesday, January 19. While we recognize that these decisions are incredibly difficult, the Chandler Education Association is disappointed in this vote, and does not believe it is in the best interest of our community.
In their presentation arguing for a return to in-person instruction, district administration cited this report from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Board member Lara Bruner pointed out that many parts of this report state community spread cannot be ignored as a factor when deciding on instructional models. CEA has previously referenced other research that also makes clear that in communities with high COVID infection rates, schools do contribute to community spread. We are disappointed that this point was minimized or ignored.
Even since the January 13 meeting, more data has come out to support the conclusion that schools contribute to community spread. Saturday morning, The Wall Street Journal released an article summarizing new research in Europe that found “schoolchildren, even younger ones, can play a significant role in spreading infections.” Closer to home, Arizona has seen a 4000% increase in COVID child hospitalization rates between May and November as shown in the Journal of the American Medical Association: Pediatrics, and Arizona continues to “lead” the country in COVID statistics, currently ranking 1st in the country in COVID cases per capita with 116.9 average daily cases per 100,000 people (compared to a current national average of 66.8 per 100,000, and to an Arizona average of 84.6 per 100,000 when we released our last statement on December 30). Even on the day of our Governing Board meeting, health care officials from across the state argued against returning to in-person learning due to Arizona’s extraordinarily high COVID rates.
Like those health officials, we acknowledge that in-person instruction is preferred by many students and parents in our community, and we miss being able to teach our students in person, too. But after voting to move to virtual instruction on January 4 due to high community spread and other factors, our Governing Board voted to resume in-person instruction just over a week later, when the COVID numbers in Arizona were just as bad as (or even worse than) they were the week before.
Many community members and staff felt the CUSD Governing Board ignored their concerns regarding community spread and the lack of social distancing. Despite promises of “increased mitigation,” it is difficult to see how social distancing (a key mitigation technique when fighting COVID) can feasibly occur given our physical spaces and student populations, particularly in our secondary schools.
Chandler rightly prides itself in being a “district of choice,” but for parents who read this research and want to keep their children safe, their choices are limited. Chandler Online Academy currently has a waiting list which limits students’ ability to enroll, and many of the specialized courses (particularly Advanced Placement courses) our students need to learn at their level are not offered by COA. It leaves our special education students, from preschool through grades 12, without a virtual option and puts our special educators and service providers at greater risk. Our students (especially our junior high and high school students) can’t choose to socially distance in hallways and classrooms where that isn’t physically possible.
Simply put, with COVID rates this high in our community, opening our schools is not safe for children or for adults. We are beyond disappointed that our state and federal governments have not made controlling COVID a higher priority, as lowering rates in the community would make our schools safer to attend in person.
We urge our district leadership and Governing Board to reconsider their decision and return to virtual learning until COVID spread in our community is under control.

Lethem (who also wrote the extraordinary Ecstasy of Influence) bounces around in the interview from copyright law to David Byrne to art in general. It is an incredible read to say the least, but I have excerpted a particularly intriguing section below:
I make my living by licensing my copyright. Everything I've tried to say, in the Harper's essay and elsewhere, is that there is an enormous middle ground. It becomes one of those issues like, "If you don't favor wiretapping in the U.S., you must be for the terrorists." What I'm seeking to explore is that incredibly fertile middle ground where people control some rights and gain meaningful benefits from those controls, and yet contribute to a healthy public domain and systematically relinquish, or have relinquished for them, meaningless controls on culture that impoverish the public domain.And my personal favorite:
Sure, but it wasn't strengthening of copyright control that allowed me to make more money after that; it was because I found some readers. Even if my rights were Kryptonite and lasted 1,000 years, if no one read my books, they wouldn't be worth a penny. The economy of human attention is a very precious one, much scarcer than any other. I'm lucky to be in the position of having anyone notice that I've given something away in the first place.

Here’s something many of us wish we’d learned sooner—professional audio quality doesn’t just happen on it’s own. It takes a little bit of know-how. But it’s also a lot of fun.
You might be surprised to discover that even with the same gear, your content doesn’t immediately sound like your favorite albums, streamers or podcasts—don’t sweat it. Audio production takes practice and even the most accomplished engineers learn new skills all the time.
In this article, we’ll explain how to make your USB mic sound better with some everyday solutions to remove background noise and improve the quality of your recordings.
SELECT THE PICKUP PATTERN FOR YOUR SITUATION
Many USB condenser mics, like the Yeti, are equipped with multiple pickup patterns (also known as polar patterns) that let you select the direction in which the microphone is “listening.”
This is useful because it lets you focus on a single source or record two or more sources without using multiple microphones. Better yet, choosing the best pickup pattern for your situation can eliminate those unwanted sounds that become post-production tasks later.
Here are the Yeti’s polar patterns:
In cardioid mode, the Yeti only picks up audio from sources directly in front of the microphone, thus reducing the background noise of noisy PC fans, HVAC equipment, construction and so on. Cardioid mics are typically used for voice overs, live streams, musical instruments, singing and speech for their ability to capture clear, direct sound from a single source.
Stereo mode captures separate recordings from both sides of the mic for detailed, realistic recordings with a wide soundstage. This is perfect for driving acoustic guitar strumming, stately grand pianos, and lively percussion. With its excellent separation of sources, stereo mode is also a great choice for recording singer-songwriter duos or a soloist with accompaniment.
Omnidirectional mode records in 360 degrees for those projects where you want to capture the natural acoustics of a space, as well as the activity happening within it. Try omnidirectional mode in video production, group interviews and ensemble recording—anything from school choirs to drone metal.
In bi-directional mode, the Yeti picks up sounds from the front and back of the mic simultaneously, but furiously rejects incoming sounds at the sides of the capsule. Figure 8 has the strongest side-rejection of any polar pattern, making it ideal for one-on-one interviews or for situations where microphone bleed must be kept to a minimum, like hi-hat leakage in a snare drum mic.
USE PROPER MIC PLACEMENT
It may sound too good to be true, but one of the best ways to fix common audio problems like pops, muffled low end or too much echo is to scoot the microphone backwards or forwards a few inches.
If you’re using a desktop stand, your microphone should ideally be positioned 6-12 inches from your face and angled slightly upward.
Issues like popping and muffled low end can be fixed by simply moving the microphone away from your face. If your recordings are washed out with too many echoes, bringing the mic closer emphasizes the direct sound of your voice while tuning out the rest.
USE A POP FILTER
If you’ve ever toured your local radio station, you probably noticed the microphones have quite a bit of hardware attached. Among these is one of the most crucial pieces of gear for broadcast-quality sound: a pop filter.
A pop filter is a permeable screen that rests in front of a microphone to prevent the popping sounds caused by “P,” “B” and other consonant sounds. To learn more about pop filters, check out our article here.
TREAT YOUR ROOM TO REDUCE REFLECTIONS
If your recordings sound thin and hollow and you’re struggling to contain unruly echoes, rearranging the furniture in your room could help quiet things down.
Ideally, your workspace should face the shortest wall of the room, with the longer walls to your sides. But this isn’t always convenient, so you might need to improvise and experiment to discover what works best for your room.
If you have the space, position your workstation away from the corners of the room to prevent echo build-up and avoid placing your speakers less than three feet from the wall to reduce reflections from behind.
You might be tempted to splurge on a bundle of those wavy foam acoustic panels, but before you do, consider making a Target run. Simply redecorating the areas behind your speakers and your listening position with a couch, rug, throw pillows, curtains or a bookcase can dampen echoes enough to do the job.
USE VOCAL EFFECTS
Adding vocal effects to your tracks is the final boss in pro audio. Most streaming apps and virtually all recording software include effects like equalization (EQ), compression and expansion that give you detailed control over the audio quality until it’s just right. If you have Yeti, Yeti Nano or Yeti X, you can use Blue VO!CE vocal effects to fine-tune your on-stream sound.
Equalizers (EQ) allow you to adjust the volume of individual frequencies within a sound. Using an EQ to turn down muddy bass frequencies or a nasal-sounding midrange can compensate for undesirable room acoustics.
A compressor is an effect that automatically adjusts the volume of an audio track for a consistent level. The compressor’s threshold tells the compressor at what level it should turn down. Ratio tells the compressor how much it should turn down once the threshold is reached. Controls labeled attack and release let the compressor know how quickly it should act once the threshold is reached and how quickly (or slowly) it should return to normal. If you’re the Chris Farley type of public speaker, a compressor can help you avoid distortion while keeping a reasonable level for the viewers at home.
Finally, an expander detects when you’re not speaking and automatically turns down or mutes the microphone. This reduces background noise and is much easier than manually muting and unmuting your mic on Zoom. It works similarly to a compressor, except that expanders act when audio levels drop below the threshold, rather than cross above.
Now that you know how to make a USB mic sound better, you’ll be able to produce broadcast-quality audio for your next project at home—and who knows, maybe you’ll find something cool at Target.

Corridor Mapping in Context
With all the advancements brought on by drone technology, aerial mapping is certainly one of the most useful. Being able to have a view from above allows users to save time and increase accuracy on their mapping and surveying jobs.
Watch the mdMapper1000DG in action, corridor Mapping in Chile:
Corridor mapping is a particular technique that is able to help users understand the makeup of terrain, even in difficult conditions. Corridor mapping is frequently used by utility or transportation companies to assess an area where new infrastructure such as power lines or train tracks need to be built.
As the global demand for energy grows, the demand for new infrastructure, and the strain on the existing systems, increases. This requires a fast and accurate method of surveying old infrastructure, and planning for new. Corridor mapping allows this to be done far faster and with less man power than traditional survey systems, which are timely, expensive, and even risky. Many in the industry are now switching to drones for these reasons.
Corridor mapping involves surveying along linear structures or locations, such as roads, railways, and power lines. Microdrones’ mdMapper 1000DG is ideally suited to corridor mapping, giving the user precise control with more accuracy and safety than fixed wing aerial options. The mdMapper1000DG integrates Microdrones’ high performance UAV platforms with advanced sensors and software, offering the user a complete, integrated package.
The mdMapper 1000DG also features direct georeferencing. This technology does away with the need for ground control points, saving an incredible amount of time and effort when preparing to map, while still delivering survey-grade accuracy.
This system is far more efficient than terrestrial surveying techniques which were slow and cumbersome, requiring GPS base stations and total stations. The traditional grid system, while methodical, is extremely work intensive, and the grids themselves are only a few acres across, limiting the view of the project.
In the past, aerial survey systems required photogrammetric flight made by fixed wing aircraft, which was extremely expensive, and could be ruined by weather and clouds. Using a UAV allows users a far more flexible altitude range, being able to operate affordably and below any cloud cover that might otherwise obscure an aircraft.
Microdrones’ mdMapper1000DG system allows users to collect and process data with far more speed, accuracy, and convenience than traditional survey methods that required ground control points, and could put people in dangerous situations as they moved across tricky terrain. The aerial view provides a more efficient approach when compared to the old grid system, along with affordability and flexibility when compared to older aerial systems.

|Title:||Patterns of failure after postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy for locally advanced buccal cancer: Initial masticator space involvement is the key factor of recurrence||Authors:||Lin Y.-W.
|Keywords:||adjuvant radiotherapy; buccal cancer; oral cavity cancer; patterns of failure; postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)||Issue Date:||2018||Journal Volume:||40||Journal Issue:||12||Start page/Pages:||2621-2632||Source:||Head and Neck||Abstract:||
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine failure patterns and clinicopathologic prognostic factors in patients with locally advanced buccal cancer after postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Methods: Eighty-two patients with locally advanced (American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] stage III/IV) buccal cancer who underwent surgery followed by postoperative IMRT between January 2007 and October 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Eighteen patients had local recurrences as the first recurrent site and 11 had supramandibular notch recurrences; the majority of recurrences were classified as marginal failures. The median time from the first local or regional recurrence to death was 5.9 months. In multivariate analyses of survivals, the initial masticator space involvement was the most important prognostic factor. Masticator space involvement, N classification, and maxillectomy were the significant prognostic predictors for supramandibular notch recurrences. Conclusion: Postoperative IMRT for buccal cancer should not include the surgical beds alone, rather, it should be based on the potential patterns of spread. ? 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Live attenuated influenza vaccine is safe for use in children with moderate-severe asthma
Published online: December 18, 2019
Guidelines from USA, Canada and UK recommend annual influenza vaccination of children with a diagnosis of asthma. Vaccination in this age group can be via an injection or using the live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) which is administered as a nose spray in children from age 2 years. The non-invasive route is preferred by children, parents and healthcare professionals; however, some guidelines recommend against its use in children with asthma or recurrent wheeze due to concerns over its potential to induce wheezing.
In a study recently published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI), Turner and colleagues present the results of the SNIFFLE-4 Study, in which 478 children with a physician-diagnosis of asthma/recurrent wheezing were given LAIV in a prospective, multi-center study. Importantly, children were recruited from severe asthma clinics in the UK, and the cohort included 31% with severe asthma. 44% of participants were prescribed high-dose inhaled corticosteroids. The study was funded by the UK Departments of Health through Public Health England.
LAIV did not cause a significant change in asthma control in the four weeks after LAIV, including in preschool children and young people with poorly controlled or difficult asthma. 15% of participants reported a severe asthma exacerbation in the four weeks following immunization requiring short course of systemic corticosteroids; however, this was not unexpected for the time of year, and no association with asthma severity, baseline lung function or asthma control was identified.
These data provide evidence that children with asthma may safely be given LAIV irrespective of the dose of inhaled corticosteroids prescribed, although LAIV is not recommended in those with an acute exacerbation of asthma symptoms.
The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI) is an official scientific journal of the AAAAI, and is the most-cited journal in the field of allergy and clinical immunology.

jBASE Codepage Configuration
Configure the Code pages for the user id using the JBASE_CODEPAGE environment variable.
Display a full list of available code pages using the “jcodepages” command.
All input and output conversion can be undertaken, however it is more efficient to use UTF-8 for input and output if possible, as no code page conversion is then necessary, reducing system resource requirements. There are several commercially available telnet clients that can communicate using UTF-8, in these cases the telnet client performs the conversion from the configured code page to UTF-8, hence it is important to ensure that the client is configured correctly such that the input and output code page is the correct one for the keyboard mapping required.
Code page conversion is only applicable when the JBASE_I18N environment variable is set. If the JBASE_I18N environment is not set, then code page conversion will not occur, and all variables will be handled as bytes rather than as characters. As configuration of international mode is on an account basis the state of international mode can change on execution of a LOGTO.

The French writer Stendhal shocked some of his 19th century readers by rendering the gritty reality of life.
“A novel is a mirror carried along a highway,” he explained. “Sometimes it reflects to your view the azure of the sky, sometimes the mire of the puddles in the road.”
Reality TV has an abundance of such looking glasses — though, in the editing process, azure skies are largely sliced to make room for more mire.
And New Jersey is one of the leading lights of the genre. We have the squabbling housewives and their luxe lives in North Jersey and the “Jersey Shore” gang living it up at Seaside Heights.
Of course, New Jersey took a dramatic turn in HBO’s “The Sopranos,” and Atlantic City soon will reprise its starring role in the new season of “Boardwalk Empire.”
As The Star-Ledger's Lisa Rose reported last week, however, New Jersey is the darling of unscripted TV, where conflicts are ever brewing and attitude-overdosed characters never fear to enter the fray.
Two more Jersey-centric shows are joining the crowd. The DIY network’s “Brothers on Call,” which will debut in October, puts the spotlight on bickering Ridgewood contractors.
Meanwhile, “Bear Swamp Recovery” has started its first season, airing Mondays on truTV.
“Bear Swamp” follows a family of burly blue-collar guys who venture from their Mercerville base into the playgrounds of the rich and famous to repossess luxury cars and yachts.
“For John Q. Public that’s watching, some of them are going to dislike me. Some of them are going to think I’m crazy,” says business owner PJ Vinch. “Some people are going to love me because I’m a good father to my son.”
That’s the thing about reality TV. Love it or hate it, people watch it. And New Jersey has become a brand unto itself, an “industrial ingredient,” as one Montclair University professor put it, in the concoction of these TV shows. Of course, that leaves little room for “reality.”
While the cast members of shows such as “Jersey Shore” do not represent typical New Jerseyans, the attention they have brought to the state is surprisingly good. A recent nationwide poll found “Jersey Shore” has helped promote the state’s 127 miles of beaches and is generating positive buzz for the Garden State as a whole.
These outrageous shows are drawing tourists who then get to see the real New Jersey.
And they like us. They really, really like us.

Co-Founder & CEO, Wingcopter GmbH
Tom Plümmer is Co-Founder and the CEO of Wingcopter. He is driven by the will to apply drone technology for social impact and wants to continuously increase the scale of civil applications and opportunities drones offer. In the past Tom was unsatisfied with the short flight time and short range of multicopters. In Wingcopter's patented tiltrotor mechanism, he sees a simple yet elegant solution for maximum efficiency that challenges the state of the art in the drone industry.
I get motivation for my work from my strong wish to improve the future of mankind instead of just waiting for things to hopefully get better. One of the ways to reach this goal is in my opinion using drones to improve the way agriculture, infrastructure construction and even logistics and mobility are done today. However, the short flight time and ranges of the civil / commercial drones that existed back at the time I´ve started have been bothering me as not adequate.
Thus together with Jonathan Hesselbarth we founded a start-up called Wingcopter and developed a special tilt rotor drone (eVTOL) which outperforms anything that had existed before in this area.
Today Wingcopter is helping to overcome difficult obstacles in diverse industrial processes by simplifying and accelerating complex tasks and labour, e.g. in agriculture or infrastructure construction in combination with high-end sensors attached to the efficient eVTOL Wingcopter platform.
Our additional task is improving and saving lives by transporting important medical means such as vaccines, medicines, blood preserves or laboratory samples safely and fast.
Since 2017 we are constantly working on ways to improve medical supply via drone delivery projects in different parts of the world with the goal to upgrade the living conditions for the population and to grant safe supply and access to medical commodities and medical care (supporting the SDG's). In addition to our joint project with DHL and GIZ / BMZ in Tanzania, Wingcopter is currently expanding other medical delivery drone projects in other parts of the world. With UNICEF we have explored the deliveries of vaccines on the Pentecost island of Vanuatu successfully over several month. In addition, Wingcopter is currently flying on a daily basis in Malawi for USAID and Chemonics International.

Minced meat production in an integrated process
Automation and product handling from filling through to packaging
The integration of the Handtmann minced meat portioning line into downstream packaging processes and its compatibility with all commercially available packaging machines facilitate professional automation options, such as tray feeding, depositing into thermo-forming machines and the integration of a weighing system.
|Depositing into trays||
|Weighing system integration|
|Product handling|| |
An efficient turnkey solution is connecting the Handtmann minced meat line to compatible minced meat depositors and tray dispensers. Simple synchronisation and a modular design provide flexibility in the choice of minced meat depositors and tray dispensers.
|The Handtmann minced meat line can be easily integrated into an overall process with portioning, collating and depositing into thermo-forming machines or other similar packaging machines. For example, in combination with GEA Flexloader||The integration of weighing systems in the minced meat production process creates additional cost reduction potential due to a further increase in portioning accuracy, reference weighing, the ejection of underweight portions and less safety overfilling.|
|Examples of application|
- Significant rationalisation effect due to full automation, from filling through to packaging
- Excellent hygiene conditions due to hygienic design and a reduction in manual intervention
- Cost reduction due to excellent weight accuracy of each individual portion
- First-class product quality due to effective yet gentle product handling

Gaby Auge, Ph.D.
I have been always interested in how environmental changes influence
seed dormancy and germination. I am currently studying the functional
conservation of signaling pathways during seed germination and flowering
transition processes, focusing in the role of FLC as integrator of different
environmental cues. I have a degree in Biotechnology (2001, National
University of Quilmes, Argentina) and a PhD in Molecular Biology and
Biotechnology (2009, National University of San Martín, Argentina).
My PhD thesis was focused on how changes in the light environment (red
to far-red light ratio) modulate seed germination at physiological and
molecular levels, using Solanum lycopersicum and Datura ferox as study
Tarek Elnaccash, Ph.D.
I am interested in the role environmentally-sensitive phenological transitions like flowering and germination play in the evolution of plant life histories. Particularly crucial is determining whether(and how) environmental information used adaptively (or not) to influence flowering time and germination time and how those 'decisions' feedback on one another. Additionally, I am interested in the possible role of germination in habitat selection and the interplay between dispersal, ontogeny, and adaptation.
I am interested in the effect of shade on germination and seedling establishment at the community and/or local level. I am also conducting research on the genetic basis of maternal effects on hydrothermal parameters that regulate seed germination.
I am fascinated by the relationship between biotic interactions and phenology. This connection is especially important considering predicted and observed phenology shifts in response to global climate change. My research uses a combination of laboratory studies, field experiments, and genetic tools to ask how biotic interactions within plant communities can exert selection on phenological traits. In addition to research I enjoy teaching and mentoring undergraduates in their own research efforts.
I am interested in phenotypic plasticity and the molecular pathways underlying life-history transitions. I am currently using transgenetic lines to study pleiotropy in the pathways of FLC-regulated germination and flowering time. I also am using quantitative PCR to study natural variation in FLC expression. Outside of the lab I enjoy playing ping-pong, classical guitar, and sampling local microbrews.

The National Archives (TNA), the official record-keeper of the UK government, is investigating the use of blockchain for records sharing.
The research project, dubbed Archangel, is being led by the University of Surrey and involves partners such as the Open Data Institute. Among other goals, the initiative will explore the extent to which blockchain can address pressing questions related to archive management.
In a blog post published Tuesday, Alex Green, the Archives' digital preservation services manager, wrote:
"Specifically, the project is investigating how blockchain might be used to achieve this," Green added.
As one of the world's largest and oldest archives, The Archives is a leader in setting standards and best practices in the field. As such, the project aims to "deliver vertical impact to specific sectors within the Archives and Memory Institutions (AMIs) landscape, driven through end-user partner The National Archives."
ARCHANGEL has a proposed timeframe of 18 months. It is set to prototype a distributed ledger technology (DLT) service that will "collect robust digital signatures derived from digitized physical, and born-digital content," according to Green.
The research is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, which invests more than £800 million a year in fields such as mathematics, materials science, and information technology.

Barbell Republic is a German-based clothing company that designs high quality apparel for power athletes.
Barbell Republic was founded by gym freaks, who were frustrated with the little number of choices they had to make when shopping cross training gear.
Barbell Republic design attractive alternatives and trendy, hot workout clothes for bodybuilders, powerlifters, crossfitters, mixed martial artists and strong men and women around the world.
Their philosophy is that the best clothes are created when you strip away all the unnecessary details and focus on what really matters: fit, fabric, and design.
My mission was to build a brand, an online presence and merchandising that were bold, dynamic and strong. A brand that would fit their target audience.
The name "Barbell Republic" is a metaphor for the new, bold, more dynamic and agile nation/community that they are building.
I started by creating an identity based on the idea of a barbell within a flag. This was then translated into an aesthetic that could be applied to all sorts of different pieces from merch to all visual communication or marketing materials, such as website, brochures, social media graphics etc.
As for the social media, I created a strategic framework to make sure that they are not wasting time on social media channels that didn't work for the brand. I did this by analyzing their performance and matching them up with the best possible channels for their goals.
It was an ongoing process of refining and extending Barbell Republic social media exposure with main focus on their product catalog combined with some educational content.
We adopted a very minimal but straightforward design language to reflect the brand's charisma and sportsmanship values. It helped connect Barbell Republic with their existing and potential customers by designing elegant, useful, and engaging social media content.
We were able to bring about a brand that emphasizes values of respect, self-improvement, positivity and teamwork.
By appealing to their rationality, we created content not only to educate but to inspire and succeded in showing potential users why our website and products was worth sticking around for.


Revision for “7. GPS Position & Time” created on February 22, 2021 @ 23:52:48 [Autosave]
7. GPS Position & Time
GPS Position & Time
1. Detailed Receiver Operation
The C/A-code generator repeats the same 1023-chip PRN-code sequence every millisecond. PRN- codes are pre-defined for 32 satellite identification numbers exceeding the minimum constellation of 24 satellites. Five (5) of the codes are reserved for use by pseudolites.
Thus there are two sets of C/A-code signals. The set received from the satellite and the replica generated by the receiver. The receiver slides the replica of the code in time until there is a correlation with the SV code (assuming the SV is in view based on a known last position, a stored almanac, and/or initialization by the user or e.g. the IRS position). If the receiver would apply a different PRN-code to an SV signal there is no correlation possible. When the receiver uses the same code as the SV and the codes begin to line up, some signal power is detected. As the SV and receiver codes line up completely full signal power is detected.
The receiver uses the detected signal power in the correlated signal to align the C/A-code in the receiver with the code in the SV signal. A phase lock loop that can lock to either a positive or negative half cycle is used to demodulate the 50 Hz Navigation Message from the GPS carrier signal. The same loop can be used to measure and track the carrier frequency (Doppler shift) and by keeping track of the changes to the numerically controlled oscillator even carrier frequency phase can be tracked and measured.
The pseudo-range measurements are used together with SV position estimates based on the precise orbital elements (ephemeris data) sent by each SV. This orbital data allows the receiver to compute the SV positions in three dimensions at the instant that they sent their respective signals. Four satellites (normal navigation) can be used to determine three position dimensions and time. Position dimensions are computed by the receiver in Earth-Centred, Earth-Fixed (ECEF) X, Y, Z, coordinates.
Time is used to correct the offset in the receiver clock, allowing the use of an inexpensive quartz clock in the receiver.
The receiver position is computed from the SV positions, the measured pseudo ranges (corrected for SV clock offsets), ionosphere delays, and relativistic effects, and a receiver position estimate (usually the last computed receiver position).
Three Satellites could be used to determine three position dimensions with a perfect receiver clock. In practice, this is rarely possible and three SV’s are used to compute 2-dimensional, horizontal fix (in latitude and longitude) given an assumed height. This is often possible at sea or in altimeter-equipped aircraft.
Five or more satellites can provide position, time, and redundancy. More SV’s can provide extra position fix certainty and can allow detection of out-of-tolerance signals under certain circumstances.
Position in XYZ is converted within the receiver to geodetic latitude, longitude, and height above the ellipsoid. Latitude and longitude are usually provided in the geodetic datum on which GPS is based (WGS-84). Receivers can often be set to convert to other user-required data. Position offsets up to 1000 meters can result from using the wrong datum.
Velocity is computed from a change in position over time, the SV Doppler frequencies, or both.
Time is computed in SV Time, GPS Time, and UTC. SV Time is the time maintained by each satellite. Each SV contains multiple atomic clocks. SV clocks are monitored by ground control stations and occasionally reset to maintain time to within one-millisecond of GPS time. Clock correction data bits reflect the offset of each SV from GPS time.
SV time is set in the receiver from the SV signals. Data bit sub-frames occur every 6 seconds and contain bits that can resolve the Time of Week to within 6 seconds. The 50 Hz data bitstream is aligned with the C/A code transmissions so that the arrival time of a data bit edge resolves the pseudo-range to the nearest millisecond. The approximate range to the SV resolves the 20 ms ambiguity, and the C/A-code measurement represents time to fractional milliseconds. Multiple SV’s and a navigation solution (or a known position for a timing receiver) permits SV-time to be set to an accuracy limited by position error and the pseudo-range
SV-Time is converted to GPS-Time in the receiver. GPS-Time is a “paper clock” ensemble of the Master Control Clock and the SV clocks. GPS-Time is measured in weeks and seconds from 24:00:00, January 5, 1980, and is steered to within one microsecond of UTC. GPS-Time has no leap seconds, like UTC has, and is ahead of UTC by several seconds.
The computed results for Position, Velocity, and Time (pvt) are the raw data outputs of a GPS receiver for display and processing. In Aircraft, the outputs are being transmitted on an Arinc 429 DITS output bus. For fast and accurate operation a GPS receiver benefits from:
2. Carrier Phase Tracking
Tracking carrier phase signals provide no time of transmission information. The carrier signals carry no time-tags that distinguish one cycle from another. At least two receivers track the carrier signals at the same time. Ionosphere delay differences must be small enough to ensure that carrier phase cycles are properly accounted for. This requires that the two receivers be within 30km of each other.
All carrier-phase tracking is differential, requiring both a reference and remote receiver tracking carrier phases at the same time. Unless the reference and remote receivers use L1-L2 differences to measure the ionosphere delay, they must be close enough to ensure that the ionosphere delay difference is less than a carrier wavelength.
Using L1-L2 ionosphere measurements and long measurement averaging periods, relative positions of fixed sites can be determined over baselines of hundreds of km’s. Problems result from the difficulty of tracking carrier signals in noise or while the receiver moves.
Post-processed static carrier-phase surveying can provide 1cm – 5cm relative positioning within 30km of the reference receiver with a measurement time of 15 minutes for short baselines (10km) and one hour for long baselines (30km). Rapid static or fast static surveying can provide 4-10cm accuracies with 1km baselines and 15 minutes of recording time.
Real-Time-Kinematic (RTK) surveying techniques can provide centimeter measurements in real-time over 10km baselines tracking 5 or more satellites and real-time radio links between the reference and remote receivers. So far carrier phase tracking techniques are not considered for use in aviation.
The SA bias on each satellite is different, and so the resulting position solution is a function of the combined SA bias from each SV used in the navigation solution. Because SA is a changing bias with low-frequency terms in excess of a few hours, position solutions or individual SV pseudo-ranges cannot be averaged over periods shorter than a few hours.
Blunders can result in errors of hundreds of kilometers:
Lack of inherent integrity has been mentioned before. GPS involves a substantial number-crunching by computer software on the ground, in space, and in the air. Although the use and output of the GPS receiver seem extremely easy, the user should be aware that the GPS does not provide an immediate alert if anything goes totally wrong.
4. Geometric Dilution of Precision (GDOP)
The receiver computes GDOP terms using parameters from the navigation solution process.
While each of these GDOP terms can be individually computed, they are not independent of each other. A high TDOP will cause receiver clock errors which will eventually result in increased position errors. Errors multiplied by DOP determine the accuracy of the position and time information provided by the GPS system. The SPS in general results in acceptable accuracies of 100 meters however the integrity of the results and the accuracies are too low for all navigational needs. To improve in both fields augmentations have been developed.

Funding for debt projects announced
Funding for projects to help people with debt issues has been confirmed by the Scottish Government.
Cash funding of £4.8m from the Scottish Government and £2.2m from the Money Advice Service over the next three years will go towards a jointly funded programme, managed by the Scottish Legal Aid Board.
The money will enable the Board to extend existing projects that have supported people over the last three years in the economic downturn.
From October 2012 the Board will use the funding to establish a new programme of support for people across Scotland.
The Money Advice Service, an independent organisation giving free, unbiased money advice across the UK, will also provide £500,000 of financial support to projects run in partnership with the Improvement Service, Accountant in Bankruptcy and Money Advice Scotland.
It plans to fund capacity-building work with voluntary sector agencies to increase compliance with the Scottish National Standards for advice and supporting work, and research to arrive at a shared understanding of best practice for local authority commissioning of debt advice services, to be conducted by the Improvement Service.
Lindsay Montgomery, chief executive of the Scottish Legal Aid Board, said: “We very much welcome this substantial amount of financial support from both the Scottish Government and Money Advice Service. This will enable us not only to build upon the previous success of our existing programme in providing legal help to people facing the impacts of the downturn, but will also help to establish a new programme to improve upon the existing support for people across Scotland who require this type of legal assistance.”
