Airport to Receive Federal Grants, SMC 2012 Budget Audit
TELLURIDE – Responding to public demand that governments in San Miguel County do more to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the San Miguel County Commissioners will start developing a ballot question that could repeal an existing tax exemption for residential gas and electricity sales and use. If approved, the new revenue would fund emission reduction efforts across the county.
But last week’s meeting of the commissioners yielded only a placeholder on the November ballot: the commission can decide not to move forward with the question.
“[We] can retract it at any time before September if, once we look into it, it doesn’t seem like a good idea,” said County Commissioner Joan May.
The proposed repeal of the exemption, however, garnered support from the commissioners. “The benefit is that the money could be used to fund great programs throughout the county,” said May. “It does seem to make a lot of sense because it’s not an expensive tax and there is a clear link between collecting money from energy use and using it for energy reduction programs.”
County voters approved a one percent sales tax in 1987, but exempted groceries and residential gas and electricity use.
“We are in favor of this,” said Bob Saunders, representing the Telluride Town Council. “We always seem to be getting to these things too late; we needed to be doing this 20 years ago.”
The county commissioners have long looked for ways to further reduce government greenhouse gas emissions. For six years, the county has funded Eco Action Partners, a local non-profit that, among other services, collects data about San Miguel County’s energy use.
The county has already significantly lowered government energy use through facility retrofits, constructing green buildings, using hybrid vehicles and encouraging employees to minimize energy use. The county also annually contributes over $235,000 to the commuter bus programs, that bring workers from as far away as Down Valley, Ridgway, and Montrose to Telluride, reducing vehicle greenhouse gas emissions.
If the commissioners approve the ballot question, voters may decide this November and could see the repeal as early as January 1, 2014.
Airport FAA Grants
The Telluride Regional Airport will accept grants from the Federal Aviation Administration to fund runway safety improvement projects. Airport manager Rich Nuttall told the San Miguel County Commissioners last week that the airport is requesting over $241,000 for a de-icing pad and an additional $865,000 for a substantial drainage improvement project.
In accordance with FAA requirements, the county commissioners agreed to support the grant application. If funded, the airport expects the projects to be completed by next spring.
SMC 2012 Audit
From 2011 to 2012, San Miguel County’s budget remained relatively unchanged, CPA Pete Blair told the San Miguel County Commissioners last week, in the course of presenting the county audit.
While the county government’s finances are still affected by the economic downturn of 2008, Blair said, the county took in more than it spent. The general fund balance, for instance, increased by over $700,000 in 2012, even as property taxes saw a decrease of about $1 million. Sales tax also increased by around $250,000, a sign of economic improvement.
While the county’s budget improved over 2011, concerns remain, said Blair, citing languishing property taxes. Due to Colorado State law, county governments are required to appraise properties each even-numbered year. Property valuation and subsequent taxes decreased between 2011 and 2012 because county property assessments lag behind actual market valuations. Because of the lag, Blair’s audit predicts the county will lose $800,000 in property taxes in 2013.
Blair did not offer any advice on mitigating the shortfall, but did cite new construction as a promising sign of future economic growth. He attributes the county’s relatively healthy budget with wise fiscal planning and quality management.
Blair concluded his presentation on an optimistic note, saying, “overall, compared with 2011, we think San Miguel County is in better financial shape. We know that things are going to be tight with the budget going into 2014 mainly due to the reduction in property taxes. But I think the county has done a great job financially. If the county can get through the next year or two, I think things will start improving.”

The plant is a 12 000 m2 custom-built production facility in the Automotive Supplier Park.
Faurecia manufactures the front-end module for the vehicle, while SAS Automotive RSA produces the new cockpit for the E90.
The front-end commonly refers to the structural carrier at the front of the car, as well as the cooling system, bumper fascia, crash boxes and bumper beam it holds.
SAS Automotive RSA is a fully-owned local subsidiary of SAS Automotive Systems, of Germany, which, in turn, is a 50:50 joint venture between the French-listed company Faurecia and the German company Siemens VDO Automotive.
Speaking at the opening of the factory, SAS Automotive RSA vice-president and Faurecia MD Dr Albrecht Piro revealed that the plant is scheduled to ramp up production to 250 cockpit and front-end units a day by August, from 150 a day currently - to coincide with BMW South Africa's planned output growth.
While the two first-tier suppliers currently focus solely on the supply of BMW components, Piro stated that plans are under way to secure other supply contracts as well.
The joint venture is also in the process of completing a localisation programme with BMW, which would add more second- and third-tier suppliers to the supply-chain - a move which would, to some extent, offset the challenge of the long supply pipeline from Europe which the companies currently face, Piro explained.
SAS Automotive RSA executive vice-president and CEO Dr Thomas Waldhier described the new facility as a “milestone” for the SAS Automotive Systems group, being only the third plant located outside of Europe. The group currently operates 19 plants in 11 countries.
Worldwide, SAS Automotive Systems has recently shown tremendous growth, with 3,3-million cockpits produced last year and 3,8-million units envisaged for this year.
Waldhier explained that the decision to produce the front-end and cockpit modules under the same management and at the same plant was driven by the need to manage costs effectively and avoid duplication.
Also attending the opening was BMW managing director Wolfgang Stadler, who praised the car manufacturer's first-tier suppliers for their dedication to quality.
BMW's South African facility has recently moved from being a world-class operation to No 1 in the Southern Hemisphere in terms of technical advancement.
Following the start of the new 3-series production, Stadler said, it took a mere six weeks for BMW South Africa to attain the quality standard of its parent company in Germany - a fact that further testifies to the hard work of the carmaker's component suppliers.

The war against the insanities involved in today’s standardized testing in schools is on! Superintendent Mark Manchin is threatening parents and students with suspensions for Opting Out Of Common Core Tests.
The big battle began two weeks ago when Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said in Chicago Tuesday that student boycotts of standardized tests are not acceptable. He threatened that if state governments don’t stop them, the federal government will.
As Rusty Weiss reports in MentalRecession.com:
Federal law, under No Child Left Behind, requires 95 percent of students in a state to take the annual standardized tests in reading and math from grades 3-8. It is a requirement which until now has never needed enforcement or consideration.
With as many as 184,000 students in New York choosing to opt out, the 95 percent threshold will not only be in jeopardy, it will be an easily missed mark.
When asked what would happen in states with such a high opt out rate, whether they would have to force consequences upon schools, parents, and students, Duncan responded “We think most states will do that.”
He added, “If states don’t do that, then we have an obligation to step in.”
Superintendent Manchin carried the message forward last week, “Parents don’t have the right to pick and choose the provisions of public education in which they feel they want to comply with.”
West Virginia House made Common Core headlines in March when their House voted 75 to 19 to repeal the State Standards that had been adopted by the WV State Board of Education in 2010.
That’s it folks, game on. the government just declared the public has no say in what goes on in your child’s life while they are in school.
Arne Duncan has declared, “…[Federal Government] would have to force consequences upon schools, parents, and students.”
The schools and districts will follow Superintendent Manchin’s message,“Parents don’t have the right to pick and choose the provisions of public education in which they feel they want to comply with.”
Think about that a moment folks.
No, Superintendent Manchin, you are absolutely positively wrong. Parents do have the right to stand up and decide when something is hurting their children. Parents do have the right to recognize something that is failing miserably and stand up and say enough. Parents do have the right to stand up and make the decision that you will not drag their children through a broken program.
Not only do they have that right, but it is your responsibility at that point to fix it. You have failed at that. You have absolutely no right to even address the parents until you are doing your job correctly.
Things have been boiling for a while. In telling other students they didn’t have to take the Common Core English test., a 13-year-old student at Orange-Ulster BOCES was suspended from school as a result of
The whole of Common Core has failed. Parents are angry, children are unhappy, teachers are being micromanaged in the classroom, recess has been all but suspended…(I could go on.) and it is all being done by a system that was created with absolutely no involvement by teachers.
The Common Core was written, not by educators, but mainly by people — “like those who crate testing materials — with a financial interest in seeing these standards adopted. They were written and pushed as creating children who would be ready for “college, career, and life.””
Joy Pullmann has an outline of 10 items that Parents Hate About Common Core. It is clear, concise, and the absolute truth.
1. The Senseless, Infuriating Math
2. The Lies
3. Obliterating Parent Rights
4. Dirty Reading Assignments
5. Turning Kids Into Corporate Cogs
6. The Data Collection and Populace Management
7. Distancing Parents and Children
8. Making Little Kids Cry
9. The Arrogance
10. The Collectivism
Diane Ravitch posts a letter written by 3 Louisiana classroom Teachers Marla Baldwin, Deanna Russell, and Leslie Truax, explaining that the developmentally inappropriate standards in the early grades are failing because,
· Students are unable to master the standards according to the proscribed pacing
· Little time is given for mastery of basic math facts, with over-emphasis on visual math strategies
· They are too light on basic phonics, with over-emphasis on whole language
· Parents are alienated from helping children with their homework
· Students are exhibiting unnecessary, unhealthy levels of stress and frustration.
Leigh Curcio, a 12-year old 6th grader who loves math, tells legislators on Beacon Hill how Common Core changed his outlook on school and math in particular. He lost his interest and excitement for doing well. He’s asking them to please stop Common Core.
There is more than enough evidence on behalf of Common Core and all it’s pieces, including the tests, to give the parents of this country the full right to stand up and say “Enough is enough!”
Neither Arne Duncan, Superintendent Manchin, or any other educator gets to solely decide what our children are put through in the the school system. They need to get that message loud and clear.
5th grade teacher Amy Moore is absolutely correct:
Parents and teachers need to speak up. They need to tell administrators, school board members and politicians that they will not stand for this treatment of their children. They need to insist that superintendents bring in early childhood consultants to evaluate the programs. They need to insist on the right to opt their kids and students out of any unsuitable testing activities.
Our babies only get one shot at being little, and we can’t reverse the damage that is being done. The people imposing this on our children do not know how to teach young ones.
We need to send the loud and clear message that we do not want these instructional decisions being made by those who don’t know how to instruct beginning learners.
Tell Superintendent Manchin these are YOUR CHILDREN and your schools!
Dr. Mark A. Manchin,
Harrison County Board of Education
[email protected] 304-326-7345
Call your own superintendent! Remind them that these are your children.

Our job is building a mass transit system that connects you with the Puget Sound region. As Sound Transit's CEO, I can assure you that everyone here - including our Board of Directors, staff and consultants - is committed to bringing you safe and reliable service.
Joni Earl, Sound Transit Chief Executive Officer
CEO Report for December 19, 2014
A big step toward future mass transit expansion
Yesterday the Sound Transit Board adopted an updated Long-Range Plan, the blueprint for how and where the regional transit system could expand in the future. This is an exciting milestone for Sound Transit and the Puget Sound region. Our region is growing, and adopting the Long-Range Plan allows us to advance the conversation about meeting rising demand.
Next year Sound Transit will begin shaping a regional Sound Transit 3 ballot measure by reaching out to the public to learn more about your priorities for system expansion and potential options. Following this process, the Board could forward a measure for voter consideration as soon as November 2016.
You can find information on the updated plan at soundtransit.org/LongRangePlan
New express bus route, increased transit integration
The Board also approved next year's plan for service implementation. The major change is the addition of a new bus route, ST Express 580, between Lakewood and Puyallup. This weekday peak-period service will be timed to meet Sounder trains at Puyallup Station. It will begin service in June 2015.
In preparation for opening Link light rail service to Capitol Hill and the University of Washington in early 2016, Sound Transit and King County Metro are working closely to integrate services for operational efficiencies. Together our staffs will develop proposals for an integrated bus-rail service network in this corridor that will be presented to the Sound Transit Board in mid-2015 and coordinated with King County Metro service change proposals. The agencies will conduct a joint public outreach process early next year.
2015 budget supports light rail extensions
Sound Transit's Board-approved $1.2 billion budget for 2015 supports major light rail expansions, anticipates carrying more than 32 million riders and prepares for a future ballot measure for regional transit system expansion.
Major light rail project funding in the 2015 budget includes:
- $121 million to complete station construction, systems installation and testing for University Link, opening in early 2016;
- $90.4 million for construction on the South 200th Link Extension, also opening in 2016;
- $208 million for Northgate Link construction;
- $143 million for East Link pre-construction work ; and
- $16.3 million for Lynnwood Link to finish preliminary engineering and move into final design.
The budget also includes $19.7 million to replace 22 ST Express buses, including five new double-decker buses to be used on Snohomish County - Seattle routes, and to overhaul seven Sounder locomotive engines.
Holiday service schedule
Christmas Eve (Dec. 24): All buses and trains on regular schedules.
Christmas Day (Dec. 25): Link light rail on Sunday schedule. ST Express bus routes 512, 522, 535, 545, 550, 554, 560, 574, 577, 578 and 594 will run on Sunday schedule; other ST Express routes will not operate. Sounder trains will not operate.
New Year's Eve (Dec. 31): ST Express buses and Sounder trains on regular schedules. Link and Tacoma Link will run later at night for holiday festivities.
New Year's Day (Jan. 1): Link light rail on Sunday schedule. ST Express bus routes 512, 522, 535, 545, 550, 554, 560, 574, 577, 578 and 594 will run on Sunday schedule; other ST Express routes will not operate. Sounder trains will not operate.
As 2014 comes to a close, I want to thank you for your interest in and support for our work. We have had a very busy year and I am pleased our major projects continue to progress well. I am particularly pleased with our continued progress on the U Link extension that will allow us to open service to Capitol Hill and the University of Washington in early 2016.
On behalf of the Sound Transit Board and staff, best wishes for a happy holiday season. The next CEO Report will be Jan. 2, 2015, which from here looks like the start of a busy year!

A clinical research study or a clinical trial is an experiment or observation performed on human subjects to generate data on the safety and efficacy of various biomedical and behavioral interventions.
Blinding or masking refers to the withholding of information regarding treatment allocation from one or more participants in a clinical research study. It is an essential methodological feature of clinical studies that help maximize the validity of the research results.
Issues of Concern
Blinding covers any of the numerous participants of the clinical trial, e.g., researchers, subjects, technicians, and data analysts. Single-, double-, and triple-blinding are commonly used blinding strategies in clinical research. A single-blind study masks the subjects from knowing which study treatment, if any, they are receiving. A double-blind study blinds both the subjects as well as the researchers to the treatment allocation. Triple-blinding involves withholding this information from the patients, researchers, as well as data analysts.Randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trials involve the random placement of participants into two groups; an experimental group that receives the investigational treatment and a control group that acquires a placebo. Neither the researchers nor the study subjects know who is getting the experimental treatment and who is getting a placebo. This type of clinical study ranks as the gold standard for the validation of treatment interventions.
Unfortunately, blinding is not possible to achieve in all clinical trials. For example, the method of drug delivery may not be amenable to blinding. An excellent clinical protocol may help ensure that within the ethical and practical constraints, blinding is achieved as effectively as possible.
Bias refers to a deviation from the truth in the collection, analysis, interpretation, or publication of data, leading to false conclusions. Poor blinding of a clinical research study may lead to bias that may result in inflated effect size and increase the risk of type I error. Even a small error in blinding may lead to a statistically significant result without any real difference between the study groups.
Keeping both the researchers and the subjects blinded to treatment allows a double-blinded study to prevent the researchers from treating the study groups differently. The double-blinded study minimizes the risk of various types of biases, such as observer bias or confirmation bias, which may influence the results of the investigation. It may also help avoid a disproportionately large placebo effect in the patients involved in the study.
Unblinding may occur during any portion of the blinded clinical trial. Unblinding that occurs before the conclusion of a trial may be a source of bias that the study should document and report. It is the responsibility of all the healthcare professionals involved in a clinical trial, such as physicians, nurses, pharmacists, technicians, and data analysts, to maintain blinding as effectively as possible during the trial and to report any premature unblinding.

Nice place for lunch after visiting the gardens. The menu offers salads, fresh juice and sweets. It's a bit pricey but the setting is worth it.
这家餐厅提供免费 Wifi 吗？
After visiting the Majorelle Gardens, we stopped at the Majorelle Cafe to enjoy a delicious lunch in the delightful outdoors setting. The atmosphere was cosy, calm and relaxing. We enjoyed a well prepared vegetables soup, aubergines salad, Moroccan pastry also some mint tea. Big up!!
The gardens were warm and relaxing, a calming environment. Then we found the café - it was delightful. We felt like "ladies that lunch". An hour plus passed in the blink of an eye - we chatted, ate delicious cake, tried the remarkable NosNos coffee, even made friends with the people at the next table. The sound of birds twittering... 更多
Beautifully prepared food served in the heart of the impeccably manicured gardens formally owned by the late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. Well worth a pit stop for some refreshments, the salad's are huge and we shared one which was more than enough for two, pretty reasonably priced for such a captive audience as well.
Pleasant courtyard setting with good atmosphere. Food fine if a little pricey. 6 Morrocan salad was in fact 7 bowls of different salads. Well prepared and presented. Quite busy and some people had to wait for a table.
The presentation of multiple Moroccan salads was just as beautiful as it was delicious. The ambience and wait staff made lunch a perfect combination with the exquisite gardens.
Nestled in a vine-covered courtyard, surrounded by palms and orange trees, this cafe is a lovely, leafy refuge from the bustle of the city. Food was good, juice was wonderful, service was friendly and reasonably fast. Waiters were lightning fast and good-natured when a sudden downpour hit, ushering their guests (and the food!) into the few covered areas. Worth a... 更多
As drinks we had home-made lemonade and milk with date and orange blossom. To eat a mixed plate of six seasonal Moroccan salads and a marinated chicken and quinoa salad with cashew nuts. The service was nice, the setting beautiful and the atmosphere soothing and romantic enough. The drinks were good and so was the food, but perhaps the menu... 更多

Starts Mass Production in 2017
Samsung invests 14.26 billion dollars(USD, 15.6trillon KRW), which is the all-time biggest investment in single semiconductor product line.
Pyeongtaek City Gyeonggi-do Province is getting ready to be born as ‘Samsung Semiconductor Valley’, which is going be set as an advanced base for next 40 years and have the biggest product line in the world built. 14.26 billion dollars are going to be invested, which is the all-time biggest investment for a single semiconductor product line and it is going to be in operation from 2017. Samsung is completing a high-tech semiconductor product line by having bases in Giheung, Hwaseong, and Pyeongtaek.
Samsung Electronics held ‘Samsung Electronics Semiconductor Pyeongtaek Complex’ ground breaking ceremony at Godeok Urban Innovation Corporation industrial complex on the 7th and it started its product line construction. 600 people including President Park Gunhye, Minister of Ministry of Trade, Industry & Energy Yoon SangJik, Governor of Gyeonggi-Do Nam Kyeongpil, Mayor of Pyeongtaek Kong Jae-Kwang, Vice-Chairman of Samsung Electronics Lee JaeYong, Representative of Samsung Electronics Kwon OhHyun, and clients attended this ceremony.
Pyeongtaek semiconductor complex, which has the area of 400 soccer fields and a site area of 2,892,561 ㎡ is constructed as Korea’s biggest semiconductor production complex. It is almost equal to the sizes of existing production complexes in Giheung and Hwaseong put together.
Samsung Electronics is constructing a first semiconductor product line by investing 14.26billion dollars as a first step by 2017, which is the biggest investment for a single semiconductor product line. It’s been almost 3 years since Samsung Electronics invested such great equipment investment since it invested in semiconductor 17 line establishments in Hwaseong in 2012. Investment was finalized a year earlier than an original plan, which is President Park Gun Hye administration’s 3 year innovative economy plan that plans to revive local economy. Increased demands from small semiconductor Equipment Company are highly anticipated.
Samsung semiconductor complex has been around for 40 years and now it is preparing for the next 40 years by having Pyeongtaek semiconductor complex as its advanced base. Having being the best in world semiconductor market as a goal, Samsung chose Pyeongtaek to speed up the gap in technology, which puts memory and non-memory together, between Samsung and other competitors.
If Pyeongtaek line starts mass-producing in 2017, it will become the biggest semiconductor cluster that connects Giheung, Hwaseong, and Pyeongtaek. Pyeongtaek complex will be a core that builds ICT valley that connects metropolitan area and Chungcheong by being in the middle of Samsung’s ICT R&D center and display production complex in Cheonan and Asan area.
Samsung Electronics is planning to have Pyeongtaek as a nucleus that will lead semiconductor market for 40 years by building in high-tech process. It is planning to mass-produce D-Ram that is built by high-tech process, and have a system semiconductor product line that can fight for preoccupancy in loT market.
Government and Samsung Electronics is predicting that Pyeongtaek semiconductor complex will affect the economy by creating employments for 150,000 people and causing 40 billion dollars from production. Materials, facilities, and front back industries will contribute to revitalization of Korea’s economy.
Domestic and foreign industries are very curious about what process and products will be used and produces in Pyeongtaek complex by Samsung Electronics. Although D-Ram by 20-nano process is quickly changing and gaining much importance, it is possible that D-Ram by 10-nano level process will be used if Pyeongtaek line were to start mass production after 2017.
It is predicted that high-tech process will be reviewed in a system semiconductor because they will start mass producing 10-nano finFET starting end of next year.
“Samsung is showing a mentality of an enterprise by not being satisfied with the growth and investing for competitiveness in the future. I wish that Samsung becomes the center of world’s semiconductor production and worthy of its name.” President Park Gun Hye said about Samsung’s investment in Pyeongtaek semiconductor complex.
“It was considered as a rash move when South Korea started a semiconductor business 40 years ago, but we became the best in memory industry within 10 years and we are still the best for 22 years.” Kwon Oh Hyeon Samsung Electronics Vice-President said about a history of semiconductor business in South Korea. “Pyeongtaek semiconductor complex is a new challenge for next 40 years in semiconductor business, and we will once again leap forward into this challenge to fulfill our desire to be the best semiconductor business in the world.”

Children have lost the only green space where they were able to practise football after grass at The Level was churned up by the recent funfair there.
The head teacher of Fairlight Primary and Nursery School, in St Lawrence Road, Brighton, said that pupils had no other outdoor green space in the area.
Fairlight head Damien Jordan said that The Level was left a muddy quagmire for the second time this school year, preventing his keen young footballers from practising on Friday mornings.
Mr Jordan emailed Brighton and Hove City Council about the problem – and praised his pupils for reaching the finals of the Sussex Schools Brighton Cup.
He said: “Not bad for an inner-city school with no playing fields where three quarters of the children have little if any outdoor space where they live (and) where over half the children are pupil premium or have EAL (English as an additional language).
“Our football is learnt on the street, in the playground or on a Friday morning before school at The Level. You may have seen us playing football at 8am in the morning at The Level.
“Well, it would be if The Level wasn’t once again destroyed by the pointless (not) funfair.
“For the second time this school year, The Level is now out of action for over a month. I am not sure if you have seen it this week. It looks like a scene from War Horse.
“The fair being on The Level means the local community have little if any access to the grass facilities for several weeks at different points of the year.
“And this time, once again, the state of The Level after the fair has left now means it will be out of action for weeks, if not longer.
“For inner-city children, this outdoor space should be prioritised to be used as much as possible and for activities that are free.”
Mr Jordan also spelt out worries about problems with anti-social behaviour, saying: “The Level should be a celebrated and prioritised space. It has, in recent months, had rapes and stabbings.
“There have been consistent problems with drink, drugs and homelessness, rubbish, flooding – the list of problems with this park is huge.
“Yet for us, this is our space. And we love using it. And we feel safe there.”
Mr Jordan, who was born and raised in the city, questioned why the fair was needed when the Palace Pier had a fairground all year round.
He added: “My Nan used to moan about the cost of the fair and how she was spending her hard-earned money from the launderette she worked in on a fair that then moved on and wasn’t part of the city.
“Who were we going to give the fish back to when it died! Parents at Fairlight are saying the same.”
The council said: “We understand the concerns about the current condition of the ground at The Level.
“We have been particularly unlucky with the weather this year and we have more mud than we would usually expect. We will be working to improve the surface as quickly as possible.
“We believe it is important for our open spaces to continue to reflect the needs and aspirations of all our residents.
“We actively maintain outdoor spaces for sport, exercise and other recreational activities – particularly for children and schools. Sometimes spaces get muddy because of use and we continually repair any damage.
“The twice-annual funfair at The Level has been run successfully for 60 years now by a local operator. We believe this success clearly demonstrates there is still a significant desire from local people for it to continue.
“We can also assure residents that the operators of the funfair take their responsibilities to the park very seriously and do their best to reduce impact.
“The funfair is timed to meet the key annual grass-growing season. We always seek to minimise damage as much as possible.”
Festival Fun Fairs was approached for comment.

Total Slacker is, according to their own description, a slimegaze band from Brooklyn. Comprised of Tucker Rountree, Lydia Gammill, and Mattie Siegal, the trio has gained considerable footing on the scene since the project took off in 2010. With heavy, catchy grooves and guitar-based hooks — along with some serious shredding — there’s definitely a bit of shoegaze and grunge going on, but what really stands out is the sprinkling of sparse 80s guitar throughout each song, often before a chorus shows up and kicks everything into overdrive. There’s some masterful pop songwork beneath all the musical acrobatics that shouldn’t be overlooked happening here as well. The band stopped by Serious Business Music in DUMBO to give us a live look at how they make it all happen.

Among the few real innovations that users are really waiting in the world of smartphones, the curved screen is one of the most important. Although Samsung already has a couple of years marketing this version in its models, or LG with LG G Flex 2, but we hope that there is more competition in the near future (everything seems to depend on the courage, and Meizu ensures to have it).
In fact, it was the same CEO of Chinese colossus, Bai Yongxiang, who has declared that his company is developing a project for a smartphone with curved screen. Unfortunately, we do not know what kind of smartphone will be, despite the rumors on the net, arising out of this statement, they indicate that this would be the Meizu Pro 7.
In short, curved display technology is attracting increasing attention and, from this, the main beneficiary and injured could be Samsung. Not surprisingly, the Korean giant is currently the leading manufacturer of curved OLED screen. So on one hand you can achieve success through your own devices (as will the expected Galaxy Note 7), or make a fortune by selling your technology to others (though they become rivals). In any case, for the moment can not be anything other than wait for further information.
Moreover, Meizu has officially announced the new smartphone MX6, available in gray, silver, gold and rose gold. It is a high-end smartphone, but unlike the Meizu Pro 6, will focus on providing the best value possible. The whole body is made of metal and magnesium, so that the weight has been reduced to 149 g. The presentation took place as planned and now the intention is to sell the Meizu MX6 in all possible markets and capture the largest number of users.
As for other interesting facts known, we know that the processor is accompanied by 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage, the rear camera has been developed by Sony, and provides the Sony IMX386 sensor, the front camera has 5 megapixels with an aperture f/2.0 and a fingerprint reader on the Home button. Finally, note the capacity of the battery: 4000 mAh. Finally, the available operating system is Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, with classic Meizu customization: Flyme OS in version 5.5.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) Phil Valenti scored 14 points and Josiah Heath and Kassius Robertson added 11 apiece to lead Canisius in a 64-50 victory over Fairfield on Thursday night.
Canisius closed the opening half with five-straight points to lead 30-23, and opened the second with a 7-0 run to lead by double digits with 17:40 remaining. The Stags (6-13, 4-5 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference) could get no closer than eight points the rest of the way.
Robertson scored eight-straight points - including back-to-back 3's - to put the Griffins up by 16 points with 10:33 left to play. His 11 points were a career high.

Vietnam’s most senior Communist leader has been re-elected in a victory for the party’s old guard, prompting fears that crucial economic reforms could be held up in the fast-growing country.
Nguyễn Phú Trọng overcame infighting during a week of closed-door talks at the five-yearly Communist party congress to retain his position, pushing his rival, the reformist prime minister, Nguyễn Tấn Dũng, from power.
Dũng remains prime minister but will step down later this year when the national assembly appoints a replacement. This is expected to be Nguyễn Xuân Phúc, one of Dũng’s deputies, state media said.
“Delegates to the first meeting of the party’s central committee congratulated Comrade Nguyễn Phú Trọng, who was elected general secretary,” Vietnam’s official news agency reported.
Trọng, 72, has been party chief since 2011 and is seen as more conservative than Dũng – and closer to China He will stay on following a compromise that analysts say is a return to more consensus-based rule.
Dũng, 66, a two-term prime minister and political heavyweight, is credited with pushing a pro-business agenda and talking tough to Beijing over a festering maritime dispute.
He had been tipped to ascend to party leader but lost out in internal elections. He was not selected for the 180-member central committee, which in effect ends his official political career.
The charismatic Dũng was a rare political celebrity in the communist country’s faceless collective leadership, said Jonathan London, a Vietnam expert at City University of Hong Kong, but that his style alienated his colleagues.

Located in the Prague Castle Complex, the Lobkowicz Palace houses one of the most interesting private collections in Europe. Czech Nobleman Jaroslav of Pernstejn built the beautiful palace in the mid 16th century and this is where the Lobkowicz dynasty would begin. The Lobkowicz family dates back to the 14th century and they are one of the oldest Bohemian families. Over the centuries the noble family and the palace have played a significant role in Czech history, including the 1618 Defenestration of Prague; the Catholic priests hid from the angry Protestants in the Lobkowicz palace. During the nasty occupation of the Nazis and the Communists the family had their stately collections and their castles and gorgeous palaces confiscated twice, only to have them returned to the family after the fall of the Iron Curtain. The family’s precious collections include paintings (including two massive paintings by Canaletto of London: The River Thames on Lord Mayer’s Day and The River Thames with Westminster Bridge-both painted in the late 1740s and Haymaking by Pieter Brueghel the Elder, painted in 1565), earthenware, decorative arts, and original music scores with notes made by Mozart and Beethoven, instruments and much more. The most interesting feature of this palace and collection is that William Lobkowvicz the current owner of the Lobkowicz Estate recorded the audio tour guide; William’s soothing voice telling you the history of his family makes it all the more real. You can hear the pride in his voice when he talks about the musical scores from Mozart and Beethoven and you can feel history when he points out that a red ruby ring worn by his ancestor during the time of the Renaissance is still worn by his grandmother on special occasions. The second floor of the palace houses the grand collection while the first floor showcases royal rooms where you can see how the family once lived. If you wish to further your education on the Lobkowicz family you can visit their impressive Renaissance residence, Nelahozeves, located outside of Prague.

When it comes to creating a brand identity, one of the key elements is a well-designed logo. Logos play a significant role in representing a brand’s personality, values, and uniqueness. They serve as visual ambassadors, instantly recognizable symbols that leave a lasting impression on consumers’ minds. However, with a myriad of logotypes to choose from, it can be overwhelming for businesses to determine which style best suits their needs.
In this blog, we will explore the different logotypes and their characteristics, helping you make an informed decision for your brand. So, grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let’s delve into the fascinating world of logo design!
Different LogoTypes and Their Usage
Wordmark or Logotypes
A wordmark or logotype is a type of logo that primarily focuses on the brand name itself. These logos typically feature custom-designed typography that captures the essence of the brand. Famous examples include Coca-Cola, Google, and FedEx. Wordmarks are ideal for brands with distinctive and memorable names, as they emphasize the textual element and establish strong brand recognition. They can range from elegant and sophisticated to playful and vibrant, depending on the brand’s personality.
Lettermark logos take a similar approach to wordmarks but condense the brand’s name into initials or an acronym. Companies with long or complex names often opt for letter marks to simplify their visual identity. Examples of successful lettermark logos include IBM, HBO, and NASA. The challenge with letter marks lies in creating a visually appealing design that represents the brand effectively using just a few letters. Typography plays a crucial role in letter mark logos, as font choice and styling become key in conveying the brand’s personality.
Pictorial Mark or Symbol
Pictorial mark logos utilize visual symbols or icons to represent a brand. These symbols can be abstract or literal, but the goal is to create a recognizable image that embodies the brand’s identity. Apple’s iconic bitten apple and Twitter’s bird logo are prime examples. Pictorial marks are powerful tools for brand recognition, as they can transcend language barriers and leave a lasting visual impact. They are particularly effective when paired with a strong brand name, allowing the symbol to be associated with the brand even without the accompanying text.
Abstract mark logos are characterized by unique, non-representational designs. They rely on shapes, colors, and patterns to create an intriguing visual identity. Examples include the Nike “swoosh” and Pepsi’s multi-colored circle. Abstract marks provide an opportunity for creativity and open interpretation, allowing the audience to form their own associations and meanings. These logos are ideal for brands looking to convey innovation, creativity, and a sense of uniqueness.
Emblem logos combine text and symbols into a single, cohesive design. They often resemble badges, seals, or crests, giving a sense of tradition, authority, or exclusivity. Brands like Starbucks and Harley-Davidson feature emblem logos. Emblems tend to have a classic and timeless appearance, making them suitable for businesses with a rich history or a connection to heritage. However, it’s important to consider that emblems can be more complex and may not scale well in smaller sizes or certain applications.
Mascot logos employ illustrated characters or figures to represent a brand. They are commonly seen in sports teams, food and beverage brands, and children’s products. Mascots add a friendly and approachable element to a brand’s visual identity, creating a connection with the audience. KFC’s Colonel Sanders and the Kool-Aid Man are beloved examples of successful mascot logos. Designing a mascot logo requires careful attention to character design and ensuring it aligns with the brand’s personality and target audience.
Combination marks, as the name suggests, combine both text and symbols to create a comprehensive logo. These logos offer versatility and the ability to be recognized with or without the accompanying elements. Brands like Adidas and Burger King utilize combination marks to maximize their brand impact. Combination marks provide the advantage of having a unique symbol that can be associated with the brand, alongside the flexibility of utilizing the brand name for clearer identification.
Badge logos are designed to resemble badges, seals, or crests, often associated with authenticity, authority, or membership. They are commonly used in government organizations, educational institutions, and luxury brands. Badge logos convey a sense of trust, professionalism, and exclusivity. However, they may not be suitable for all industries, as the traditional aesthetic might not align with modern or casual brands.
Responsive logos are designed to adapt to various platforms, devices, and screen sizes. With the ever-increasing use of digital media, responsive logos ensure optimal display and maintain the brand’s integrity across different applications. Responsive logos can be any type, but they are specifically designed to be flexible and scalable. They offer adaptability without compromising recognition, making them a practical choice for brands seeking a consistent visual identity across multiple channels.
Selecting the right logo type for your brand is a crucial step in establishing a strong visual identity. Each logotype has its own strengths and considerations, and it’s essential to align your choice with your brand’s personality, target audience, and industry. By understanding the characteristics and purposes of different logotypes, you can make an informed decision that effectively represents your brand. Remember, a well-designed logo can be a powerful tool in creating brand recognition, establishing trust, and leaving a lasting impression on your audience.

MOIST MONITOR - Continuous Moisture Monitoring in Buildings
A sizeable part of moisture damages can be detected and confined if non-destructive or suitable continuously working monitoring arrangements will be carried out. This leads to an enormous lowering in terms of the costs regarding expenditures for sustenance and restoration.
The relevance of such monitoring technologies has been shown recently as there were some accidents concerning public buildings like the ice rink in Bad Reichenhall or the exhibition center in Katowice. The large number of existent and currently uncontrolled ageing buildings make monitoring arrangements necessary, due to aspects of safety and to detect and avoid damages in advance.
As mirrored by these developments, over the past years hf sensor as technological leading enterprise in the division of moisture diagnostics has developed and manufactured a moisture monitoring system for buildings, which enables continuous moisture monitoring in several similar applications.
For the first time robust moisture probes are commercially available, that become directly installed in buildings and - if necessary - featuring integrated sensor technology for temperature measuring. These sensors withstand the hardest challenges once implemented in concrete- and earth-moving buildings and moreover allowing long product durability.
MOIST MONITOR is based on the well known and tested microwave sensors of the MOIST series. In the phase of construction or afterwards those sensors will be installed at important points of the building, lasting there for a long time. The microwave sensors of type MOIST PP are robust and durable in its design. Up to 30 sensors can be connected with the process control unit MOIST CONTROL via the integrated bus system. The chosen microwave sensors work with high field ranges and hence detect representive volumes of material. Depending on the stage of expansion and on the level of detail 100.000 measuring results can be stored in the system. The corresponding software MOIST MONITOR LOG makes possible that the data of all single sensors as well as of the sensor set can be summarised.
The implementation may accomplish in several layers or elements of buildings or road assemblies as in sealing elements or its proximity, in roof assemblies, at certain exposed positions of building fundament, in the plane and in the frost protection or asphalt layer. MOIST MONITOR realises continuous monitoring of moisture content at neuralgic points of buildings. In this way, the ingress of moisture from outside accompanied by subsequent damages can be efficiently prevented.

World No. 6 Rafael Nadal and World No. 2 Daniil Medvedev are in a thrilling battle in the finals of the 2022 Australian Open. With Nadal going for the historic 21st Slam, Medvedev is looking for his second major and first in Melbourne Park. Both players have a lot of stakes and the beneficiary of this is the Rod Laver Arena and the entire tennis fraternity.
With both players known for their excellent shot-making skills, Nadal gave yet another proof of the skill and attitude that he brings on the court when he does not lose the point until it is lost. This attitude was again seen on the Rod Laver Arena during the first set of the finals between the two players.
With both players holding their serves in the first games, the score was 1-1 with Nadal serving. Both players were approaching the net and in one such instance, Medvedev looked certain to win the point and had Nadal on the ropes. However, a poor decision by Medvedev that saw him hit the shot to Nadal instead of wide led to him losing the point.
With the ball in the range of Nadal who had almost gone to the wrong side, the Spaniard just gave a soft touch on the ball to give the direction to it to the side of Medvedev who was right in the centre of the net and did not expect the return. The return was inside the line and Medvedev couldn’t do anything as Nadal won an almost lost point.
Nadal followed it up with another sensational point immediately as he approached the net and stood like a wall making Medvedev run to both sides of the court and just placing the ball before eventually capturing the point with another drop shot well out of reach of Medvedev.
Rafael Nadal drops the set against Daniil Medvedev
With the set split at 2-2, Medvedev broke Nadal to go 3-2 and then held his serve to take a 4-2 lead over the Spaniard. With the game relying on Nadal to hold and break the Russian, Medvedev broke Nadal again to go 5-2 and then held his serve to take the first set 6-2 42 minutes to draw the first blood in the finals of the 2022 Australian Open.

We present significantly improved one-to-one routing algorithms in the datacenter networks HCN and View the MathML source in that our routing algorithms result in much shorter paths when compared with existing routing algorithms. We also present a much tighter analysis of HCN and View the MathML sourceby observing that there is a very close relationship between the datacenter networks HCN and the interconnection networks known as WK-recursive networks. We use existing results concerning WK-recursive networks to prove the optimality of our new routing algorithm for HCN and also to significantly aid the implementation of our routing algorithms in both HCN and View the MathML source. Furthermore, we empirically evaluate our new routing algorithms for View the MathML source, against existing ones, across a range of metrics relating to path-length, throughput, and latency for the traffic patterns all-to-one, bisection, butterfly, hot-region, many-all-to-all, and uniform-random, and we also study the completion times of workloads relating to MapReduce, stencil and sweep, and unstructured applications. Not only do our results significantly improve routing in our datacenter networks for all of the different scenarios considered but they also emphasise that existing theoretical research can impact upon modern computational platforms.

A building for art
First was a metal smelting factory, then served as an ice factory, and now the building of the northwest corner of Cornelia and Ravenswood avenues is enabled as a curious formula for exercising the art.
As explained David Munnard, whom can be defined as a volunteer administrative, Cornelia Arts Building "is a colony of independent artists who share costs for having set up workshops where different areas and styles of art: sculpture, visual arts, painting, design and Textile fashion, working in metal, glass, and so on. "
Munnard clarifies that serves as anywhere in rent, does not have any special requirements and it does not exist as such an administration.
"It's more a community that lives by sharing costs, and its cultural contribution to Chicago is that it is one of the few places that houses and providing opportunities for those painters or sculptors who still do not have a gallery, and also encourages new ones artists , "Explains the volunteer.
Another peculiarity of this art center located at 1800 West Cornelia Avenue, which also has an exhibition space, which is the group that creates and develops his art there is multinational: South American, Italian, Japanese, Polish and, especially, U.S. .
Opening of Spring
The weekend of 29 and was conducted March 30 opening of the exhibition season of spring, which is an unparalleled opportunity to get up close and purchase the work of this community more than 60 artistic talents, who opened their studios and workshops to the public.
Among them are the painter Guillermo Carrillo, a native of Santa Marta, one of the oldest cities in the Caribbean coast of Colombia, the birthplace of singer Carlos Vives, the soccer player Carlos "Pibe" Valderrama and famous in history because there died on Liberator Simón Bolívar.
Carrillo mind that takes three years in Cornelia and that feels very happy to belong to this group of artists. He shared the studio with a photographer and expenditures with everyone else. He said that among all pay maintenance to be eligible for electricity, heating, water, community bath, security and access to studies for 24 hours.
"That opened our studies and workshops is quite interesting because we show our work and a little move our material. So here is better because your art is exposed without having to bring your artwork to various galleries, which are costly at times," added painter .
In his work Carrillo emphasized in the spring, "in these colors that everyone wants to see after such a long winter" and figures representing purity, angels, horses, landscapes and fruit. "Now I am also working on indigenous issues," he said.
They speak Visitors
Maria Teresa Gonzalez and Gustavo Osorio, two Colombians who attended the exhibition thanks to an electronic message of the General Consulate of Colombia, showed its appreciation for the variety and styles concentrated in one place.
"I have never known a place where artists took the study and his workshop and open to the public," said Gonzalez.
From painting them drew their attention Carillo Cockfighting, the horses, sunrises flowers and fruits, "with colors so alive, so tropical, one is transported to land, Latin americas," Osorio said.
Alvaro Levy and Ken Gilbert also visited the building of the artists of Cornelia and expressed their satisfaction. Levy spoke of "the versatility of the artists that there are in Chicago for all tastes and proposals that one look."
"This place is held by other performers, has founded 20 years before was an iron factory, after ice, and now a visionary man thought of by studies to divide us and turned it into a factory of artists," he concluded Carrillo with humor. © La Raza
