I then set out to a few local Los Angeles music stores to get my hands on some keys, talk to the store employees who work around these instruments every day, and start to whittle down the list. After contacting manufacturers to request samples and/or to get suggestions on pianos that might better fit our guidelines (or, in one case, to inform us of a model that was being discontinued), the list was narrowed down to seven keyboards.
In most implementations, a digital piano produces a variety of piano timbres and usually other sounds as well. For example, a digital piano may have settings for a concert grand piano, an upright piano, a tack piano, and various electric pianos such as the Fender Rhodes, the Wurlitzer, and the DX electric piano. Some digital pianos incorporate other basic "synthesizer" sounds such as string ensemble, for example, and offer settings to combine them with piano.
Five strings usually tuned B0–E1–A1–D2–G2, providing extended lower range. Another common tuning on early 1970s five-string basses added a high note instead of a low note: E–A–D–G–C, known as tenor tuning. This tuning is still popular among jazz and solo bassists. Other tunings, such as C–E–A–D–G are rare. Some bassists like C as the lowest pitch because that's the lowest note on an upright bass with a C, and C is a common note in a few popular keys C (e.g., C major, G major, F major). Some players may detune the lowest string to B♭ or A. B♭ is common for bassists who play in brass bands, as B♭ is an important and common key for this type of ensemble. Relative to a four-string bass, the fifth string provides a greater lower range (with a low B, C, or A) or a greater upper range (with a high C or B is added) and provides more notes for any single hand position. The earliest five string was created by Fender in 1965. The Fender Bass V used the E–A–D–G–C tuning, but was unpopular and discontinued in 1970. The type of low B five-string was created by Jimmy Johnson as a custom instrument in 1975. He bought an E–A–D–G–C 5-string Alembic bass, replaced the nut, and used a new, thick low B string from GHS. Steinberger made a 5-string headless instrument called the L-2/5 in 1982, and later Yamaha offered the first production model as the BB5000 in 1984.

Dual coil "humbucker" pickups, sometimes abbreviated to DC pickups, have two signal-producing coils that are reverse-wound around opposed polarity magnets (similar in principle to the two individual J-pickups or the two halves of a modern Precision pickup, only in a single housing). This significantly reduces unwanted noise from electromagnetic interference compared to single coil pickups. Humbuckers also often produce a higher output level than single coil pickups, though many dual-coil pickups are marketed as retrofits for single-coil designs like the J pickup and advertise a similar output and tonal character to the stock single-coils. Dual coil pickups come in two main varieties; ceramic or ceramic and steel. Ceramic-only magnets have a relatively "harsher" sound than their ceramic and steel counterparts, and are thus used more commonly in heavier rock styles (heavy metal music, hardcore punk, etc.).
Several colleges offer electric bass training in the US. The Bass Institute of Technology (BIT) in Los Angeles was founded in 1978, as part of the Musician's Institute. Chuck Rainey (electric bassist for Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye) was BIT's first director. BIT was one of the earliest professional training program for electric bassists. The program teaches a range of modern styles, including funk, rock, jazz, Latin, and R&B.
If you want to learn to play the piano, digital pianos offer many benefits compared to acoustic grand pianos. Most digital pianos we sell offer split or dual mode. Engaging this feature separates the keyboard into two identical keyboards with the same notes and octave. This allows you to play along with your piano teacher so they can walk you through chords, melodies and full songs. Select models also offer built-in demo songs with step by step instructions on how to play them.
The bass drum (also known as the "kick drum") provides a regular but often-varied foundation to the rhythm. The bass drum is the lowest pitched drum and usually provides the basic beat or timing element with basic pulse patterns. Some drummers may use two or more bass drums or use a double bass drum pedal with a single bass drum. Double bass drumming is an important technique in many heavy metal genres. Using a double bass drum pedal enables a drummer to play a double bass drum style with only one bass drum, saving space in recording/performance areas and reducing time and effort during set-up, taking down, and transportation.
Jump up ^ Tunings such as B–E–A–D (this requires a low "B" string in addition to the other three "standard" strings, and omits the G string), D–A–D–G (a "standard" set of strings, with only the lowest string detuned from E down to D), and D–G–C–F or C–G–C–F (a "standard" set of strings, all of which are detuned either a whole tone, or a whole tone for the three higher-pitched strings and two tones for the E, which is dropped to a low C) give bassists an extended lower range. A tenor bass tuning of A–D–G–C, in which the low E is omitted and a high C is added, provides a higher range.
The standard design for the electric bass guitar has four strings, tuned E, A, D and G, in fourths such that the open highest string, G, is an eleventh (an octave and a fourth) below middle C, making the tuning of all four strings the same as that of the double bass (E1–A1–D2–G2). This tuning is also the same as the standard tuning on the lower-pitched four strings on a six-string guitar, only an octave lower.
The bass guitar is an electric instrument that performs in both lead and backing roles. They are commonly used across a huge variety of musical genres and are attractive for their versatility, sound, and design. Manufacturers such as Fender and Ibanez offer a variety of both modern and vintage bass guitars, and each has multiple models with their own characteristics.
Most drummers have a single main ride, located near their right hand—within easy playing reach, as it is used very regularly—most often a 20" sizing but, 16"-24" diameters are not uncommon. It is most often a heavy, or medium-weighted cymbal that cuts through other instrumental sounds, but some drummers use a swish cymbal, sizzle cymbal or other exotic or lighter metal ride, as the main or only ride in their kit, particularly for jazz, gospel or ballad/folk sounds. In the 1960s Ringo Starr used a sizzle cymbal as a second ride, particularly during guitar solos.
The hi-hat cymbals (nicknamed "hats") consist of two cymbals mounted facing each other on a metal pole with folding support legs that keep a hollow support cylinder standing up. Like the bass drum, the hi-hat has a foot pedal. The bottom cymbal is fixed in place. The top cymbal is mounted on a thin pole which is inserted into the hollow cymbal stand cylinder. The thin pole is connected to a foot pedal. When the foot pedal is pressed down, a mechanism causes the thin pole to move down, causing the cymbals to move together. When the foot is lifted off the pedal, the cymbals move apart, due to the pedal's spring-loaded mechanism. The hi-hats can be sounded by striking the cymbals with one or two sticks or just by opening and closing the cymbals with the footpedal, without striking the cymbals. The ability to create rhythms on the hi-hats with the foot alone enables drummers to use both sticks on other drums or cymbals. Different sounds can be created by striking "open hi-hats" (without the pedal depressed, which creates a noisy sound nicknamed "sloppy hats") or a crisp "closed hi-hats" sound (with the pedal pressed down). As well, the high hats can be played with a partially depressed pedal.
The bass guitarist sometimes breaks out of the strict rhythm section role to perform bass breaks or bass solos. The types of bass lines used for bass breaks or bass solos vary by style. In a rock band, a bass break may consist of the bassist playing a riff or lick during a pause in the song. In some styles of metal, a bass break may consist of "shred guitar"-style tapping on the bass. In a funk or funk rock band, a bass solo may showcase the bassist's percussive slap and pop playing. In genres such as progressive rock, art rock, or progressive metal, the bass guitar player may play melody lines along with the lead guitar (or vocalist) and perform extended guitar solos.
Drum muffles are types of mutes that can reduce the ring, boomy overtone frequencies, or overall volume on a snare, bass, or tom. Controlling the ring is useful in studio or live settings when unwanted frequencies can clash with other instruments in the mix. There are internal and external muffling devices which rest on the inside or outside of the drumhead, respectively. Common types of mufflers include muffling rings, gels and duct tape, and improvised methods, such as placing a wallet near the edge of the head. Some drummers muffle the sound of a drum by putting a cloth over the drumhead.
Some drummers arrive at the venue with their drum kit and use the mics and mic stands provided by the venue's sound engineer. Other drummers bring their all of their own mics, or selected mics (e.g., a good quality bass drum mic and a good mic for the snare) to ensure that they have good quality mics for each show. In bars and nightclubs, the microphones supplied by the venue can sometimes be in substandard condition, due to the heavy use they experience.
Swing drummers such as Max Roach and Kenny Clarke had already deviated from the large marching band-style bass drums, finding that they were too loud and boomy. Bebop drummers continued this trend, and they started trying out smaller bass drum sizes in the drum set. Bebop drummers' experimentations with new drum sizes and new sounds led to the innovative concept of applying the busy "four on the floor" bass drum rhythms to a new larger cymbal called the ride cymbal. By focusing on keeping time on the new ride cymbal instead of the bass drum, the "feel" went from bass drum and hi-hat heavy, to a lighter melodic feel that has been explained as "floating on top of the time". This allowed drummers to express themselves in a more melodic fashion by playing the rhythms used by the guitar, piano and sax players using the new smaller, more focused bass drums and snare. Louie Bellson also assisted in the innovative sizes and sounds of the 1940s drum set by pioneering the use of two bass drums, or the double bass drum kit.
All of these are classified as non-pitched percussion, allowing for the music to be scored using percussion notation, for which a loose semi-standardized form exists for both the drum kit and electronic drums. The drum kit is usually played while seated on a stool known as a throne. While many instruments like the guitar or piano are capable of performing melodies and chords, most drum kits are unable to achieve this as they produce sounds of indeterminate pitch. The drum kit is a part of the standard rhythm section, used in many types of popular and traditional music styles, ranging from rock and pop to blues and jazz. Other standard instruments used in the rhythm section include the piano, electric guitar, electric bass, and keyboards.
The Yamaha falls a bit short on sound quality, though. It offers 10 sounds, but as Brent (who owns a P-45) put it, only three are usable: Grand Piano 1, Electric Piano 1, and Vibraphone. The Grand Piano 1 sound is the only one that has a button on the console for selection (it doubles as the Function button). The others are selected the same way as with the Casio—with a hold of the Function button and the press of a piano key—but the sounds are all assigned to the lowest octave on the keyboard, so you have to look and reach to the far left of the keyboard to change them.
The Alesis Recital Pro is $100 less expensive than our runner-up, but it doesn’t sound that way. The built-in sounds are good, and with its touch buttons and LCD readout, the keyboard is the easiest and most intuitive to use of our picks. It doesn’t come with a sustain pedal, so it will require an extra purchase of about $20 to make it fully functional. Although it doesn’t sound quite as good or play quite as well as our main pick, it’s clearly the standout value.
Pearl Corporation is organized and functions as a wholesale distributor of drums, percussion musical instruments and flutes for the United States. The majority of drums and related items are manufactured by Pearl Musical Instrument company and imported directly from company owned factories located in Taiwan and China. The flutes are manufactured in Taiwan and Japan while the latin percussion instruments are manufactured in Thailand. Pearl Corporation is also the exclusive U.S. distributor of Adams timpani and mallet percussion instruments.
There are many varieties of picks available, but due to the thicker, heavier strings of the electric bass, bassists tend to use heavier picks than those used for electric guitar, typically ranging from 1.14 mm–3.00 mm (3.00 is unusual). Different materials are used for picks, including plastic, nylon, rubber, and felt, all of which produce different tones. Felt and rubber picks sound closer to a fingerstyle tone.
With the explosion of the popularity of rock music in the 1960s, many more manufacturers began making electric basses, including the Japanese manufacturers Yamaha, Teisco and Guyatone. First introduced in 1960, the Fender Jazz Bass was known as the Deluxe Bass and was meant to accompany the Jazzmaster guitar. The Jazz Bass (often referred to as a "J-bass") featured two single-coil pickups, one close to the bridge and one in the Precision bass' split coil pickup position. The earliest production basses had a 'stacked' volume and tone control for each pickup. This was soon changed to the familiar configuration of a volume control for each pickup, and a single, passive tone control. The Jazz Bass' neck was narrower at the nut than the Precision bass — 1 1⁄2 inches (38 mm) versus 1 3⁄4 inches (44 mm) — allowing for easier access to the lower strings and an overall spacing and feel closer to that of an electric guitar, allowing trained guitarists to transition to the bass guitar more easily.

There's a lot to be said for tradition when it comes to the bass guitar, and it's a tradition that ultimately goes back to the originals: the Jazz Bass and Precision Bass. With some stellar options available from Fender and Squier, you're in a good place to get started with those iconic bass guitars. On the other hand, if you'd prefer something a bit more unique, you've got no shortage of options. Over the years, the bass guitar market has grown hugely, and there are now a ton of choices ranging from beginner-friendly instruments like Rogue and Dean models all the way to professional masterpieces from luthiers such as Warwick, Schecter and Rickenbacker.
A trigger pad could contain up to four independent sensors, each of them capable of sending information describing the timing and dynamic intensity of a stroke to the drum module/brain. A circular drum pad may have only one sensor for triggering, but a 2016-era cymbal-shaped rubber pad/cymbal will often contain two; one for the body and one for the bell at the centre of the cymbal, and perhaps a cymbal choke trigger, to allow drummers to produce this effect.
If you choose to venture beyond the traditional acoustic drum set, the variety here will reward you for it. One great way to expand your percussion options is with an electronic drum kit, which gives you the opportunity to program any samples you want into the sound module. That means you get not only a huge range of natural drum sounds, but also the ability to queue up virtually any other effect you want. As well as electronic drums, there are plenty of world percussion options here for you to peruse. Those range from hand drums like the cajon and djembe to all kinds of distinctive instruments such as tambourines, chimes and, of course, the iconic cowbell.
Whereas Fender basses had pickups mounted in positions in between the base of the neck and the top of the bridge, many of Gibson's early basses featured one humbucking pickup mounted directly against the neck pocket. The EB-3, introduced in 1961, also had a "mini-humbucker" at the bridge position. Gibson basses also tended to be smaller, sleeker instruments; Gibson did not produce a 34-inch (864 mm) scale bass until 1963 with the release of the Thunderbird, which was also the first Gibson bass to use dual-humbucking pickups in a more traditional position, about halfway between the neck and bridge. A number of other companies also began manufacturing bass guitars during the 1950s: Kay in 1952, Hofner and Danelectro in 1956, Rickenbacker in 1957 and Burns/Supersound in 1958.
Several factors determine the sound a drum produces, including the type, shape and construction of the drum shell, the type of drum heads it has, and the tension of these drumheads. Different drum sounds have different uses in music. Take, for example, the modern Tom-tom drum. A jazz drummer may want drums that are high pitched, resonant and quiet whereas a rock drummer may prefer drums that are loud, dry and low-pitched. Since these drummers want different sounds, their drums are constructed and tuned differently.
Traditional digital pianos vaguely resemble an electronic organ or a spinet harpsichord but usually lacking a fully enclosed lower section, while some models are based on the casework of traditional upright pianos with a fully enclosed bottom part and pedals that look like actual piano pedals. An opposite and recent trend is to produce an instrument which has a unique and distinctive appearance, unobtainable with a conventional instrument. Yamaha , Kawai and Casio makes a model which is designed to stand against a wall and is far shallower from keyboard to back than any possible upright design, as well as shorter height.

Evidence that obesity is associated with cancer incidence and mortality is compelling. By contrast, the role of obesity in cancer
survival is less well understood. There is inconsistent support for the role of obesity in breast cancer survival, and evidence for
other tumor sites is scant. The variability in findings may be due in part to comorbidities associated with obesity itself rather than
with cancer, but it is also possible that obesity creates a physiological setting that meaningfully alters cancer treatment efficacy. In
addition, the effects of obesity at diagnosis may be distinct from the effects of weight change after diagnosis. Obesity and related
comorbid conditions may also increase risk for common adverse treatment effects, including breast cancer–related lymphedema,
fatigue, poor health–related quality of life, and worse functional health. Racial and ethnic groups with worse cancer survival out-
comes are also the groups for whom obesity and related comorbidities are more prevalent, but findings from the few studies that
have addressed these complexities are inconsistent. We outline a broad theoretical framework for future research to clarify the
specifics of the biological–social–environmental feedback loop for the combined and independent contributions of race, comorbid
conditions, and obesity on cancer survival and adverse treatment effects. If upstream issues related to comorbidities, race, and
ethnicity partly explain the purported link between obesity and cancer survival outcomes, these factors should be among those
on which interventions are focused to reduce the burden of cancer.
J Natl Cancer Inst;2013;105:1344–1354
The prevalence of overweight (body mass index [BMI] = 25.0–
29.9 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI ≥ 30.0 kg/m2) in the United States
rose from 13.5% in the 1960s to 35.9% in 2010 (1,2). Of the top 10
causes of death in the United States in 2009, five are related to obe-
sity, including heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes mellitus, and
kidney disease (3). Disparities have been noted in cancer survival
and treatment outcomes across ethnic groups and levels of obesity
(4–6). Herein we review evidence regarding the potential impact of
obesity and race on cancer survival and treatment outcomes.
The recently published “Annual Report to the Nation on the
Status of Cancer” (4) commented that differences in cancer out-
comes across racial and ethnic groups might be explained by dif-
ferences in risk behaviors and access to and use of screening and
cancer treatments. The racial and ethnic groups for whom cancer
survival is worse are the same groups in which obesity is more
prevalent, including blacks and Native American/Pacific Islanders
(1,4). It could be hypothesized that the disparities by race and eth-
nicity for cancer survival and treatment outcomes are explained,
in part, by disparities in obesity and related comorbidities. A theo-
retical framework for discussing these complexities is suggested in
Figure 1. Disparities in underlying social and physical determinants
are embodied and expressed through biological responses and
genetic pathways, which may lead to disparities in risk for obesity
and comorbidities. Differential risk in obesity and comorbidities
may then lead to disparities in survivorship outcomes. All of these
relationships operate in a feedback loop of biological–environmen-
tal interactions. In this review, we evaluate the evidence needed to
answer questions regarding these complexities and make recom-
mendations for future research.
Obesity, Disease-Free Survival,
Nearly 10 years have passed since the publication of the landmark
study by Calle et al., which reported that compared with men and
women of normal weight, for those who were very obese (BMI >
40.0 kg/m2) the relative risk (RR) for death from cancer was 1.52 for
women and 1.62 for men (7). Since then, numerous cohort studies
on this topic have been published, with the majority focusing on
prostate cancer (8–12) and postmenopausal breast cancer (12–14)
and only a few focusing on colorectal cancer (12,15).
Although obesity is an established risk factor for incidence of
several cancers, the impact of obesity on cancer survival is not well
understood. It is unknown whether the greatest risk associated with
obesity occurs before diagnosis (reflecting the role of obesity as a
risk factor for incident disease) or whether weight gain or loss dur-
ing or after treatment has a greater influence on prognosis. Clearly,
each could be relevant. Understanding the difference is important
to developing appropriate interventions to reduce the burden of

JNCI | Review 1345
A recent large systematic review of the current evidence linking
body adiposity to prognosis in prostate, colorectal, and breast cancer
concluded that most of the 33 studies reviewed supported an asso-
ciation between body adiposity and site-specific mortality or cancer
progression (16). However, most studies included were not designed
to evaluate this association, not all studies controlled for other life-
style factors that may influence survival, and causal inference from
observational research can be limited by measurement error, making
it challenging to disentangle the true independent effect of obesity.
A randomized controlled trial would offer the strongest design to
answer remaining questions, but long-term randomized controlled
trials with sufficient sample size to accrue cancer endpoints are chal-
lenging both with regard to logistics and financial feasibility.
Several smaller systematic reviews were also identified that eval-
uated the association of obesity and survival in breast, endometrial,
and ovarian cancer (17–19). These studies also supported an asso-
ciation of obesity with poorer survival with the caveat that further
studies are needed to confirm the findings, given limitations inher-
ent to observational studies, issues of limited statistical power, and
A recent systematic review and meta-analysis included six
population-based cohorts with data on prediagnosis BMI and
prostate cancer mortality (11). The pooled relative risk for prostate
cancer mortality was 1.15 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.06 to
1.25) for each 5 kg/m2 increase in BMI. For an additional six studies
with data from prostate cancer patient cohorts, the pooled relative
risk for mortality was 1.20 (95% CI = 0.99 to 1.46) for each 5 kg/m2
increase in BMI (11). Another study on prostate cancer noted that it
is possible that obese patients develop more aggressive tumors (20).
A Baltimore area cohort study of prostate cancer patients observed
that postdiagnosis weight gain was associated with a twofold
increased risk of prostate cancer recurrence, but specific mortality
estimates were not reported (10). Overall, although the findings
to date are suggestive regarding the association of obesity with
prostate cancer survival, additional data are needed, particularly for
subgroups known to have poor outcomes, including black men.
Evidence to support obesity as a risk factor for incident colo-
rectal cancer is fairly strong and consistent (12,15,21), but data
are relatively sparse with regard to prognosis and survival. Of
1096 incident colorectal cancer case subjects in the Iowa Women’s
Figure 1. Framework for the combined influence of race and obesity
on cancer survivorship. The bottom Venn diagram represents distal
determinants of disparate cancer survival outcomes. Disparities in
these underlying social and physical determinants are embodied and
expressed through biological responses and genetic pathways, which
lead to disparities in risk for obesity and comorbidities. In the top
Venn diagram, differential genes, obesity, and comorbidities then lead
more proximally to disparities in survivorship outcomes. All of these
relationships operate in a feedback loop of biological–social–physical
environment interactions, making it difficult to disentangle which of the
underlying or mediating factors are the greatest contributors to dispari-
ties in survivorship.

Your assignment is to prepare and submit a paper on around the world in 80 days & brave new world. The advancements that are made in the field of medicine in Huxley’s book as well as its concepts standardization in educational matters present radical similarities to the modern European society as well. These congruenceis are elucidated by Sir Ken Robinson in his discussions on education. Through these scholastic perceptions, it is clearly seen that the book is a hazardously correct prophesy of technology’s capability to control the society, and how this control is silently bringing a change to the values, goals, and moralities, of the European culture (Huxley, 1998).
The main themes that are prevalent throughout the Brave New World book, are centered around economic and industrial systems, and how the new technology has influenced the developments of these themes to completion. The society’s mentality is that the progress that is made through invention is the key goal of mankind. Productivism and Consumerism are the meaning of life in Huxley’s industrial ideal place. The consumerist goals of the nation can be obtained by hypnopaedia proverbs that are demonstrated by quote from the book that states that old clothes are beastly and that old clothes are always thrown away. It is better to end rather than to amend (Huxley, 1998). These phrases are found in page fifty-four of the book. It further appeared to be understood that the technological process engine operated most efficiently when individuals are considered of, not as Gods children or indeed as citizens but as users, this is found on page forty-two. This aspect explains with pinpoint precision how the society of Huxley’s operates. Those in the society are no longer determined to believe in god, but rather believe only in the consumption principles (Huxley, 1998).

Table of Contents
Does oxygen always have a negative charge?
The covalent bonds are therefore polar, and the oxygen atoms have a slight negative charge (from the presence extra electron share), while the hydrogens are slightly positive (from the extra un-neutralized protons).
How many positive charges are in oxygen?
That make the charge experienced by the eighth electron in the second shell equal to (9-2-Â½(7))=3.5 positive charges. That is sufficient to hold that eighth electron in the second shell. An oxygen nucleus has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. There are two electrons in the first shell.
Why is there a positive charge on oxygen?
Positive Formal Charges On Oxygen Or Nitrogen Are OK So Long As It Has A Full Octet. Because up to this point, you’re probably used to thinking of atoms like F, O, Cl, and N as the electron Scrooges of the periodic table. Due to their high electronegativity they take electrons away from whatever they’re attached to.
Is oxidation The gain of oxygen?
Oxidation is the loss of electrons, gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen. Reduction is the gain of electrons, loss of oxygen or gain or hydrogen.
Why is too much NADH bad?
… This excess NADH can break the redox balance between NADH and NAD + , and eventually can lead to oxidative stress and a variety of metabolic syndromes.
Why does the cell need both NAD +/ NADH and FAD FADH2?
Question: A) Why Does The Cell Need Both NAD+/NADH And FAD/FADH2? NAD+/NADH Is Used For Energy Metabolism, While FAD/FADH2 Is Used For Biosyntheses. FAD/FADH2 Is Used For Energy Metabolism, While NAD+/NADH Is Used For Biosyntheses.
What is the function of NAD+?
NAD+ has two general sets of reactions in the human body: helping turn nutrients into energy as a key player in metabolism and working as a helper molecule for proteins that regulate other cellular functions. These processes are incredibly important.
Does nad reverse aging?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential cofactor in all living cells that is involved in fundamental biological processes. Emerging evidence implicates that elevation of NAD+ levels may slow or even reverse the aspects of aging and also delay the progression of age-related diseases.

>> we are waiting for a news conference in oakland, california, to begin, where authorities are ♪ give us an update on the warehouse fire that now is confirmed to have killed at least 30 people. >> welcome to brand new hour inside america's headquarters i am arthel neville. >> hello, everyone, i am eric shawn. crews have only uncovered a fraction of the building uncovering mountains of debris search for more victims. this has new questions emerge on why the building had no smoke detectors, in sprinklers and not shut down after a sitting investigation of code violations
started last month. we have been report on the story from oakland. a last information coming out today. what is the latest as of this hour before this latest update? >> the news conference will start soon. the recovery efforts began last flight and continue through the day. at first they only get through 20% of the building but they have made significant headway the rest of the day. the death toll now is at 30. only a few families have been notified. that is because of the d.n.a. process which is obviously difficult process and time consuming. behind me you can see the ongoing activity putting up red cross shelters and a document of other tents and moved in trucks but above the burned out second floor, the government ship which is what it was called which was a death trap. firefighters will tell you it is
a mangled mess. from the air you can see the obligate thing left is the outer edge of the building. the interior collapsed upon itself. there is still a lot damage inside. there is a lot to go through. they are sifting through it inch by inch looking for the weres of those snowed. sergeant kelly from the alameda county sheriff talked how devastating this has been to everyone involved. >> it is a huge number, we are still not done. you can hear behind me they are working and pulling this building apart and we are really starting to get deeper into the building and as we do that we continue to find more inches. >> they are so others about the structure, from the camera you can see this is something we have fought seen until now, inspectors from the fire department on top of the building. they put a portable light up
there as it is getting close to dark. that gives them obviously a a perspective into the wreckage. there is concern of the stability. on the d.n.a. situation, the sheriff had asked the coroner, also, asking loved one of the missing to preserve sources of d.n.a. to help with identification process such as hairbrushes, temperatures, toothbrushes, they have been told to put it in secure plastic and give it to authorities. a difficult time for so many people here. a difficult time for those who have last a already one or someone who is a friend but those who are happy to do the process of going through the building. they do believe they will be finished with end few hose inside by tomorrow. obviously, this investigation will continue for and time. >> last in, a couple of weeks ago the city started an investigation of possible code violations and people asking, why want the building closed? they had residents saying the
artists collective lived there, and the building was a mess and did not have the proper egress, code violations, sprinklers, where didn't the city do something? do we know in to prevent this? >> that is the question a lot of people are asking. first of all there have been a number of complaints about this in the area on the location. a couple of weeks ago, obviously, prior to the fire the city said an investigation was opened, why did they not shut it downst they were not granted access to get snowed and that is floating an empty obviously, a lot it, the information in the investigation is coming out now. remember, oakland is a city dealing with significant budget issues down a last police officers and we do not know if that comes into play and we have the bay area situation with so machine high-tech companies here, artists communities which have been part of the bay area a lot of the places do not exist or exist like this because they cannot afford larger or more
appropriate apartments. i am not saying that may this allowable but that is what people are saying. >> so tragic. potential preventable. i know you will stand by. we will get to the news conference when the folks step town the microphones. perhaps they will be asked about the pressing issues. >> while we wait for the press conference to start we will lack at other news, the president-elect taking a swipe at china over the way it does business in the united states. this after mr. trump issued warnings to american companies looking to outsource jobs. >> what did the president-elect have to say about china? >> keep in mind the tweets from president-elect donald trump on china come a difficult after china filed a formal complaint
with the united states over the phone call president-elect donald trump had with taiwan's leader on friday. remember, the taiwan leader called president-elect donald trump to congratulate him on the victory and china filed the complaint because of hyper sensitive relationship they have with taiwan and tonight action few moments ago, president-elect donald trump tweeted in kind say saying did china ask us if it was okay to devalue currently and tax our products going into their country, the united states doesn't tax them, or to build a massive military complex in the middle of the south china sea? i don't think so. again, this phone call that happened was because the taiwan lead called president-elect donald trump and the fess time a leader from the president-elect of the united states spoke to a taiwan leader since 1979 and taiwan called it a historic conversation with controversy over it and, then, earlier
today. kellyanne conway, the season your advisor to donald trump downplayed the call on fox news sunday. >> just a again call signaling he accepted a congratulations call. president-elect donald trump is not out there making policy or announcing policy prescriptions around the world. he is taking phone calls and high will i am sure re-engage with company the leaders when he takes the oath of office. >> some people were wondering in the phone call with taiwan would signal a more aggressive approach with china and this signals perhaps it does. >> president-elect donald trump tweeting imposing tariffs on various companies. tell us about that. >> that is right. a now days ago he obviously struck the deal with carrier united saving a thousand jobs from going from indiana to mexico. in exchange for $7348 worth of tax breaks and some clueing
vermont senator bernie sanders criticized the deal as being too lenient and setting a dangerous press distant that companies all they haded to do was to threaten to leave the country and they get a nice tax break and he tweeted today that companies that send jobs across the border to mexico will receive a 35% tariff on their products when they re-enter the united states and that given tax breaks and cutting regulations, once in office, the united states will be open for business. this will be a more business-friendly united states. that was the message he was sending on twitter. arthel? >> thank you. >> the recount by green party candidate jill stein taking the campaign to pennsylvania to a whole new level. dr. stein said shell file a federal lawsuit tomorrow calling for a recount on constitutional grounds which is not correct video but i will take you to the
oakland police department with the news conference underway now on the horrible fire that has taken so man lives in oakland at the wear husband. >> -- the warehouse. >> we have media updates but, first afternoon were i will start with sergeant ray kelly with the alameda county sheriff the coroner's bureau. sergeant? >> at this point the last number we gave out of deceased folks was 30 and now it is 33 victims we work inside the building and if you would lick a emergency i would say we are 35 to 40% through the building. that work continues. i am sure fire can comment more. >> i would like to introduce, we have a lot of media from out of
the country and from outside of the state of california and i introduce mayor schaaf. >> at this time, we have delivered the unacceptable and horrific news of losing a loved one to seven of our families. we will be releasing the nails of those decedents with the, exception of juveniles to you promptly. it is with so much grief and compassion that we as your city family share with you this horrific news. as this tragedy continues to unfold i want to reassure you of what our priorities are as a city of oakland. our first priority is the humane
and compassionate removal of the victims of this tragedy. i want to assure you we are continuing to operate a 24/recovery separation to effectuate that removal. second, we are focusing on supporting the families and loved ones. some are coming from very far away. we, working as fast as i can and i commend the coroner's office that has put extraordinary resources to speed up our ability to positively identify the victims of this fire. now our final focus is doing everything we can to preserve, evidence, and conduct the recovery operation in a manner allowing us to fully and
professionally investigate this incident so we can get to bottom of how this happened. today, our district attorney nancy o'malley instituted a criminal investigation and is on site working with our other law enforcement partners. finally, i offer my extreme gratitude to a group of individuals who give the term "public servant," a new meaning, the teamwork we have seen as these protests under the hardest of circumstances have hand by hand, bucket by bucket, removed debris, preserved it, as well as humanely and compassionatesly addressed the victims that have been found 33 victims found.
the professionalism they have exhibited end these unbelievable circumstances have been something that has been an honor to work alongside. with that i am sure you will have plenty of questions and you will continue to have questions we will continue to be available and answer them as this horrific tragedy continues to unfold. i turf it over to john to manage questions. i call up the captain who is up here earlier, it is imperative we bring information that may affect the investigation in the future. captain, if you could reiterate what you shared with the media a couple hours ago. >> thank you. again, the coroner's office does ask any family members or
friends of the victim if you can preserve any d.n.a.-type of equipment, combs, brushes, secure them in a brown paper bag, hold on to them physical you are asked of them from the coroner's borough. thank -- bureau. thank you. if we come across victim questions identify we have to resort to d.n.a. >> i will ask for patience on the side of media. we have a lot of media here, our local stations, national stations and international. we understand you have a lot of questions. we have time to answer those questions. there are a lot of questions we will not be able to answer so be patient with us. the 18s will come. it will be a matter of time. they may it be there now or
tomorrow but they will come that is what everyone in the city of oakland is working toward. let's be patient with each other. allow us to call on you, identify would you are and which agency you republic. we have a last national and international media. we are not fall with you as we would like to be. please, allow us that moment. i will start on the left. [ inaudible ] i will turn that over to sergeant kelly. this tragedy has hit close to hole for our agency. one of our deputies we work with lost his son in this fire.
we are still dealing with that as we continue to deal with the other victims. this has affected us as first responders. we were not prepared to talk about that right new but we are dealing with that and our family, our department is hurting from that. that is true. >> do you know how many people were --. [ inaudible ] all we can say we have activate ed the criminal investigation team. it is a precaution. it means that certain individuals are present on-site from the district attorney and working in concert with other law enforcement agencies. [ inaudible ]
we will make sure everyone gets questions answers. okay? go ahead, sir. [ inaudible ] >> everyone is understandably very emotional because of this incident. i am sure that many things are going to be said. many assumptions, many things are going to be said out of emotion. what our job is, to focus on our priorities and to assemble a comprehensive record of what we as a government knew about this
property. we are in the process of doing that. we want to assure it is complete that it is professional. that it is comp hence before we drew concludes from the public record. [ inaudible ] can you ask your question again? [ inaudible ] >> the identification took place through fingerprints and identification that get us close and a lot of folks have i.d.s on them, whether it is a wallet,
purse or natural sack so there are identifications it there. it helps. we have to verify things with finger friends. that is how we are able to get the seven identities at this time. >> ma'am? [ inaudible ] >> they are not all in one area. we thought beginning interest there they would be in when area but we are finding people throughout the entire square footage of the structure. we have broken the warehouse interest four quadrants and found victims in every quadrant. a box of for pieces and each section has had victims. [ inaudible ] >> they are and they are not. there is in answer to that
question. it is so ran democrat. they -- so random. we are finding victims where we least spent them. [ inaudible ] >> can you speak up?

[ inaudible ]
>> again i confirm we have activated the criminal investigation team. that means we are engaging in protocol that allow as criminal investigation to be conducted. i believe it is a bit premature and i am not authorized to make that announcement. only the district attorney is allowed to make the announcement with regard to criminal charges and the direction of the criminal investigation direction. i can confirm the district attorney has activated the criminal investigation team and a representative from the d.a. is here on site, engaged in our recovery effort to ensure we are treating this and have the ability to conduct the level of investigation that with be requireed. [ inaudible ]
>> we do have victims from other countries. we are not releaseing those countries yet. we are in the process of contacting those embassies, those consulates, we are working with our state department to do that. there is a protocol that needs to be followed for notification of foreign governments and we are following that and using the assistance of the united states state department. >> how many? >> countries in europe and in asia. [ inaudible ] >> i just responded to that question. i want to clarify i am not authorized to say a criminal investigation has been launched. only that district attorney can state that. what i have confirmed the crime fall investigation team of the
district attorney has been activated. a district attorney representative is on site and is working in partnership with other law enforcement agencies. who are ensuring the investigation and the recoveriation is conducted in a manner preserving evidence. is conducted in a man that -- manner that allows to us get to bottom of what caused there and leaves those options open. it is far too early for us to have any suspicion about what caused this fire. that is something we will be sharing with you in the coming days. if it is a crime fall investigation that will limit our ability to share full information with you. >> excuse me, sir, can we have an opportunity for someone else to ask a question and i will swing back?
[ inaudible ] >> when we started this investigation if you told us we with have 33 victims, we would not have believed you. i don't know how many more people are left. we have no idea. we have in idea. no idea how many emwere in thatting or how many people get out of the building. i would be speculateing. we are specificking the worst and hoping for the best as to how many more victims. [ inaudible ] >> b relatives know if their family member has not responded. so how many --. >> a lot of people are on the list. >> i want to make something clear because we are getting into a little bit of repetitive sickle and i want to make sure we accommodate all of your
questions. as long as they are not in the repetitive mode. we want to have a broad brush on answering as many questions. there are a lot of then we cannot discuss and we want to stay away from specific numbers. that can be very dangerous as far as numbers go. we want did bring you facts much the facts, 33 victims have been located and have been recovered. 33 families are grieving. 33 families have lost loved ones. we want to be sensitive to that. sir? [ inaudible ] >> we have to refer this to the direct tone. it will be a different conversation that we will -- than what we will have right now. sergio? go ahead.
[ inaudible ] >> criminal investigations are handled by the district attorney. we actually do have our criminal investigation team here on site that team has also been activated and is friend -- present. there are many interviews being conducted. you have to understand the sketch of this tragedy is tremendous. we have many, many witnesses to interview. we are in the process of doing that. we have been able to bring in extra detectives so we can, again, put as many resources on this, get to the bottom of it as quickly as possible, but we also are trying to stay focused on
what our first task is and that is to attend to the victims and their families. that is our moral obligation to put the bulk of our resources on that most important task. [ inaudible ] >> i assure you are from the oakland police department this investigation as far as what is happening, who is involved, from victims, to witnesses, we started that from the moment everyone got the call. i can assure you we have all the proper documentation and we will be following up as this investigation moves on. again, i want to bring it back to the 33 victims, to the families, and if we have any other questions question move on. i know you have a question, ma'am.
[ inaudible ] >> i want to stay focused on our priorities right new. you may know since i became the mayor of oakland i have been passionat. about lifting up the incredible creative community that makes it the incredible city that it and is the issue of creating safe, vibrant spaces for oakland's artists community is a priority
not just for me as pair -- as mayor but of the community. this is work that has been beginning on for a long time we will stay focused on accomplish that in a way that makes sent both for oakland and also for the different stakeholders involved. we do have plans and ironically we scheduled this last week before the tragedy happened. we are beginning to be going forward with an announcement on tuesday around efforts to preserve and protect artist space force living and working here in oakland, the incredible asset and beauty office our city that we cherish that has been so badly damaged by this tragedy. >> we certainly are, i am going to keep sergeant kelly and ask
everyone else to go back to the command post. there is a lot of work that needs to be done and we will answer your questions with sergeant kelly if you will give us a moment. >> as we break away from the news conference in oakland, here is what we learned. the number of officially dead is 33 people perished in the fire, the warehouse fire, ages 17 to 30-plus they reported, some from other countries and authorities now say 35 to 40 pass through the building divided into four sections say they found victims in all four quadrants of the willing. oakland mayor schaaf saying they have delivered the unacceptable and horrific news of losing a loved one to seven families. their focus now is on humane and compassionate removal of the remains of those would perished
in the fire and also telling us that the district attorney office has act spray add crime fall investigation and they are asking families to provide d.n.a. which could be needed to identify the bodies of the people who did not make it out of that warehouse. lastly, they are telling us the tragedy hit close to home as a sheriff deputy lost a certain in the fire. >> it is so tragic and sad that this is happened especially some asking it about being prevented. november then the city starts an investigation of potential code violations at that building, of material inside, and where artists were illegally live, not zoned for residential living but as a wear husband with no sprinklers, no smoke detectors, and a major issue the mayor said that the building department was not allowed inside the building when they started the investigation so as you said, arthel, certainly a potential
crime fall investigation with the teams now on the ground and it remains to be seen in in the district attorney will review this as the city tries to get their records together on potentially why these buildings are occupied and have the conditions that are not appropriate for safe and sound living anded isly we have seen this before with the happy land fire in new york that killed 89 people in 1990 on the second floor and one place of egress, one staircase, so if you have young loved ones tell them to be careful and be safe when you go to these events. we always were told we were german. we were in a german dance group. i wore lederhosen.
so i just started poking around on ancestry. then, i decided to have my dna tested through ancestry dna. it turns out i'm scottish. so, i traded in my lederhosen for a kilt. family road trip! fun! check engine. not fun! but, you've got hum. that's like driving with this guy. all you do is press this, and in plain english, "coolant", you'll know what's wrong. if you do need a mechanic, just press this. "thank you for calling hum." and if you really need help, help can find you, automatically, 24/7.
imy moderate to severeng crohn's disease. i didn't think there was anything else to talk about. but then i realized there was. so, i finally broke the silence with my doctor about what i was experiencing. he said humira is for people like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease.
in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms, talk with your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. >> police outside new orleans releasing the man accused of fatally shooting former nfl player joe mcknight during a road rage incident. witnesses heard rapid gunfire

split second that is why the cases result in non-conviction. >> but a rest record of the same type of road rage. >> 10 years ago, and the courts will not allow that in. the jury will never hear it. >> unfortunately. that is why i don't support the "stand your ground" wallet is used for the wrong reasons. >> we have to step in and do something. we are dealing with the laws. >> the jefferson parish sheriff said ronald gasser appears to have fired three shots in inside the vehicle. reports from witnesses saying that gasser shot and killed mcknight while mr. mcknight was on the ground so should the family try to secure a private medical examiner and in they want to do that how do they do that? >> undoubtedly. luke up -- look up for an

Willnauer shares passion with Wildcat band
Before De Soto High School's football game Friday against rival Mill Valley, Kody Willnauer is putting on a show.
Prancing down a lane formed by the Wildcat Marching Band, the senior drum major seemed to defy gravity with a backward-leaning strut that earned hoops and hollers of the instrument-laden musicians. Willnauer responded with praise of his own.
"Trumpets. You're great. Where have you been all year?" he yelled while slapping backs and hugging members of the section.
It is all part of the duties he shared with Catrina Lane and Bob Boone, Willnauer said.
"Talking with college drum majors and at band camp, basically I was told what you put out is a sixth of what the band puts out," he said. "I try to have a passion for whatever I do. Not every person in the band is going to have that same passion. But for just 20 minutes if I can help get that same adrenaline flowing in them, that's what it's all about."
De Soto High School band instructor Justin Love said Willnauer and his two fellow drum majors made his life easier.
"Most bands this size would have one or two drum majors," he said. "When I went to pick them, I couldn't decide on one or two. Each had something outstanding to contribute."
Willnauer brought a musical knowledge of someone who already taught piano to younger children, Love said. Lane had leadership abilities honed from her involvement with the Civilian Air Patrol and school positions, he said. Boone brought an experimental enthusiasm that now had the band dancing in the stands of football games, he said.
Willnauer said he attempted to improve the band by getting things ready in the morning before rehearsal, helping members with their music and sharing his passion.
His passion to fully engage in the moment led him to take risks, Willnauer said. His movements were over-exaggerated, he said, partly out of an effort to pump up the band and in part to put on a performance.
"There are other drum majors who simply just keep the beat," he said. "Musicians are artists playing from the heart and soul. I want to draw that out of them to perform the best they can.
"I haven't been told yet it's a distraction. I can't play football. I can't play basketball. I might as well do something I can do better than a lot of people."
The crowd noticed his performance, Willnauer said. His flashy moves sometimes draw hecklers, he said, but he said compliments from parents and students outweigh the negative comments.
"A basketball player told me he thought I was going to fall off the ladder at halftime," he said. "That was one of the biggest compliments I've ever had. That a basketball player would notice what I was doing out there to get more from the band and say something was really great."
The basketball player might have responded to Willnauer and the band's competitive nature, which received an extra kick by the presence of the Mill Valley band at the intra-district rivalry game and a one plus earned two days before at a Baker University band festival.
"Of course we're competitive," he said. "I believe the band is, and I tell them, 'you know you're better than that band over there' to get them to play better.
"To get a one plus -- to theoretically to be all 100 percent across the board -- of course you have to want to do your best. I don't know of any other band that received a one plus.
A talent and passion for music runs in Willnauer's family. He teaches piano to younger children and earned a one for oboe at the state festival.
His father, Kent Willnauer, was a band major at Morningstar College in Iowa. Two of his father's brothers were also drum majors, one at Morningstar and the other at Baker University.
The younger Willnauer is considering either going to Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. to study political science or attending Kansas University as a music major. Should he pick the latter option, he said his goal would be to become a drum major.
To realize his goal, he would have to overcome a lot more competition than his father or uncles faced, Willnauer acknowledged. He would also need to learn a different instrument, he said.
His high school instructor said Willnauer's goal was realistic.
"I went to K.U. and I believe he would have just about as good a chance as any I've seen there," Love said. "He's got the desire to do that, and that would give him an edge."
Meanwhile with the band slated to go to Dallas for the New Year's Cotton Bowl Festival, Willnauer has more immediate goals.
"I want the band to turn heads down in Dallas and around here," he said. "It's really good to have the School Board and city behind us. We'd like to have that support all the time.
"It would be a good thing if the same amount of people showed up for a choir or band performance as football games."

To put these staggering numbers in contrast, the web has been growing at a pace of several billion pages per day. And with the proposed launch of new domains , this trend shows no signs of slowing. With never a marketing opportunity missed, Google used the announcement to remind users as to the efficiency of its search index. “We don't index every one of those trillion pages -- many of them are similar to each other, or represent auto-generated content similar to the calendar example that isn't very useful to searchers. But we're proud to have the most comprehensive index of any search engine, and our goal always has been to index all the world's data.” Google’s announcement was a rare glimpse into the size of its index. In years past it was fashionable for search competitors to boast about the size of their database vs. the competition. But with more than one trillion unique pages available, index envy seems to be somewhat of a moot point these days. Either way one thing is clear, that’s alot of time to waste .


Positioning & Navigation Solutions for Logistics Applications
In this area, the industrial applications range from forklift tracking for precise and automated tracking of goods and pallets, to the positioning of mobile operating terminals in manufacturing environments.
In the logistics industry, spoilage, delays or loss of goods create inefficiencies and lead to higher costs. Offsetting these issues requires amassing all of the information needed to monitor and control the logistics flows in real-time. The gaps between the physical and information worlds can be filled by deploying active intelligent objects and a combination of wireless technologies.
