The boxed set seemed a bit extravagant. The smaller compilation was appealing, but, as a self-respecting rock `n` roller, you just couldn`t bring yourself to order music from a late-night TV ad. Well, your dilemma has been resolved by the thoughtful folks at Atlantic Records who just released
''Remasters,'' a slimmer, trimmer Led Zeppelin best-of set. The new three-CD/three-cassette configuration features 26 digitally remastered Zep standards, including ''Whole Lotta Love,'' ''The Song Remains the Same,''
''Nobody`s Fault But Mine'' and, of course, ''Stairway to Heaven,'' along with an hour-long interview with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones. And you don`t have to hunt for a pencil to write down the phone number or pay those pesky C.O.D. charges either.
On the popular music beat
Supporters of Chicago talent will be pleased to hear Harry Rushakoff is back in business with Concrete Blonde. The hard-hitting drummer played in such local bands as the Nodes and Special Affect before having more fun as a Blonde. On the last album and tour, however, Paul Thompson took over drum chores for the band (which also gained and then lost a bassist around the same time). Rushakoff is back on CB`s new album, ''Walking in London'' (I.R.S.), which features guest bass work from Illinois boy and Cheap Trick member Tom Petersson. The new set, which includes the current single, ''Ghost of a Texas Ladies` Man,'' and a cover of James Brown`s ''It`s a Man`s World,'' is heavy on mainstream rock and meaningful lyrics.
Muhammad Ali`s daughter, May May, hopes to land a solid punch on the charts with her debut album, ''The Introduction'' (Scotti Bros.). The young rapper coproduced half the set and wrote all 12 tracks, including the first single, ''Life`s a Test,'' and a tribute to her father called ''Ali.''
Country guitar legend Chet Atkins teams up with old protege Jerry Reed
(perhaps best known for his hit ''She Got the Goldmine, I Got the Shaft'')
on a new album called ''Sneakin` Around'' (Columbia). Like much of Atkins`
work, this largely instrumental set is a mix of serious guitar virtuosity and laid-back, good-natured fun. It includes several Atkins and Reed originals, Doug Kershaw`s ''Cajun Stripper'' and Gershwin`s ''Summertime.''
Other rock titles out this week include a new self-titled album on Atlantic from King`s X, whose psychedelic-pop brand of hard rock and penchant for concept albums have made the band one of the smartest things on the current progressive metal scene; ''Priest
Aura'' (Arista), the first studio album from the Church since 1990`s breakthrough ''Gold Afternoon Fix''; and ''Flipped Out in Singapore''
(Mammoth), from Oklahoma`s foremost (if not only) glam-grunge band, the Chainsaw Kittens, produced by Butch Vig (of Spooner and the producer on recent alternative hits by Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins).
Flip, flop & fly
Today`s top Piedmont blues duo, John Cephas and Phil Wiggins, released a new album on Flying Fish called ''Flip, Flop and Fly.'' As usual, the two serve up a fine assortment of tunes in that sophisticated, lilting
Southeastern blues style. This time around, they add variety with band support on a few numbers and some gospel, jazz and New Orleans-tinged tunes.
Chicago-based Earwig Records released new albums from Louis Myers and Jimmy Dawkins. Myers has been a central figure on the Chicago blues scene for several decades, working most prominently with Junior Wells and Little Walter, doing stints with Otis Spann, Otis Rush, Henry Gray and others and most recently coming into prominence with his own band, the Aces. His new album, done in classic West Side style, is called ''Tell My Story Movin`.'' Jimmy Dawkins is another player who works in the West Side tradition. A fierce guitarist, he played with Willie Dixon, Luther Allison and Mighty Joe Young and had several well-received releases of his own in the `70s. After keeping a relatively low U.S. profile for most of the last decade, he returns with a new album of largely original material called ''Kant Sheck Dees Bluze.''
The RCA Heritage Series on RCA/Bluebird has released three new titles.
''Canned Heat Blues: Masters of the Delta Blues'' features late-`20s recordings by country bluesmen Furry Lewis, Tommy Johnson and Ishman Bracey. Sessions recorded in the `40s by Washboard Sam are featured on ''Rockin` My Blues Away.'' Finally, though some folks may know ''That`s All Right Mama'' as Elvis Presley`s first single, the song was written and originally recorded by Arthur ''Big Boy'' Crudup. It serves as the title track for a 22-song compilation of his work from the `40s and `50s.

Like almost every small business owner in New York City, audio engineer Dan Dzula needs fast, reliable internet access to do his job. When he tried to upgrade from his scrappy, local provider to something faster, he hit a wall. "Spectrum Business is the only high-speed provider who would even entertain the idea" of hooking up his building on Union Street in Gowanus, Dzula says. "But after 6 months and 5 or 6 on-site visits, Spectrum have finally killed my dreams of joining the 21st century." In an email Dzula provided to Gothamist, Spectrum gave him the installation cost estimate: $138,963.96.
"And we pay the first $5,000.00 of the cost," the rep helpfully writes. "Your out of pocket cost will be $133,963.75 so if you wish to proceed just respond to the email."
"I understand that high-speed internet is not a right, and that there are also larger companies who probably spend $100k per month on server fees, alone. But mine is a one-person operation," Dzula wrote us in an email. "It just seems absurd to me that in New Yawk City, of all places, it would take 9 months of legwork (not to mention the bureaucratic anguish) and $139K just to get a reliable internet connection."
As part of his OneNYC plan, Mayor Bill de Blasio has pledged that every New York City resident will have access to affordable, high speed internet by 2025. As the City noted in its Truth In Broadband report issued earlier this year, nearly a third of the city—roughly the population of Houston, Texas—does not have a home subscription to broadband internet; a third of black and Hispanic households lack subscriptions. A little more than half of businesses don't have access to internet with speeds of 1 GBps (curiously that number has decreased slightly since 2017). Dzula says his current download speeds are around 10MBps.
(via Truth In Broadband report)
Susan Lerner, the executive director of Common Cause New York, a good government group that is working to expand high-speed internet access, said that because the big internet service providers like Verizon and Spectrum aren't required to provide universal service like a utility, "they don't have the obligation to provide the final 100 yards of infrastructure. And they can charge through the nose depending on the physical situation of the building."
"It comes from a narrow focus on profitability in a very balkanized sense," Lerner said. "This building out of this block, as opposed to the entire neighborhood."
After Charter Communications acquired Time Warner Cable and rebranded as Spectrum, the company increased its profit in 2017 by more than 180 percent. The company reported $10 billion in gross profit last year, while Verizon reported $30 billion.
Last year, the de Blasio administration sued Verizon for violating its contractual commitment it made in 2008 to make its Fios service available to every household in the city. Verizon argues that it never made that promise, and that landlords have prevented access to buildings.
Lerner said that ultimately, legislation is needed to regulate internet access like a utility.
"There’s no political will, that is absolutely a failing, and that's why you can get 30 times faster broadband in Estonia, than you can in New York," she said. "We’re quickly becoming a second-world country because of our unwillingness to hold corporations accountable. You need to figure out ways to bring out the really substantial assets of the private corporate entities, that have made out like bandits, using our public access."
Asked about Spectrum's shockingly high estimate for installing an internet connection in Dzula's building, a spokesperson told Gothamist, "We continue to look into alternatives to the extensive and costly street cutting otherwise needed to extend our network to this business address."
"It took the federal government to provide electricity throughout the entire country," Lerner said. "There is a social reason, a communal reason to ensuring that service is provided to every single American. We got to that with electricity, we got that with basic phone service, and we haven't gotten to that with broadband, and that's a knock on us."

Speaking to a crowd of thousands in a warm Schoellkopf Stadium on Saturday, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi said that she wants to create a “new prosperity” for America, and Cornell’s graduating seniors are needed to help build the prosperity.
Before Pelosi’s address, which was the focal point of the University’s Senior Convocation, Darin Lamar Jones ’10, Class of 2010 alumni co-president, announced that the senior class raised $81,000 to give to the University. Although the total is less than the $85,000 raised last year, two anonymous trustees matched this year’s student gifts. The trustees’ donations brought the senior class’ total donation to the University to $166,051.11, a record high gift.
Stephanie Rigione ’10, Class of 2010 alumni co-president, said that it was important to give back to the University. “Being a Cornellian means being generous with our time, talent and treasure,” she said.
Both Rigione and Heather Levy ’10, Senior Convocation chair, emphasized that students should maintain their ties with the University after graduation. “Graduation is only the first step in expanding and developing our sense of community at Cornell,” Levy said.
Jeff Katz ’10, senior class president, also looked to the future in his convocation speech.
Cornell prepares students for “whatever challenges we may face,” Katz said. Looking out over the graduates, “I see smart, determined people, drained from senior week, who are ready to take the reins of our generation,” he said.
Pelosi echoed Katz’s suggestion that graduates are positioned to change the county.
“Now you join a proud tradition of Cornellians who have helped ensure a better future for America,” she told the graduating seniors. “We need all of you — all of you — to build a new prosperity.”
She said the prosperity “will be rooted in four words: science, science, science, science.”
More money is needed for college aid, she said, and the nation’s prosperity is also improved through the recently passed healthcare reform legislation. The new jobs created by the law and the increased access to healthcare will improve people’s lives, she said.
“Now, healthcare is a right, not a privilege,” Pelosi said.
Pelosi, who is the first female Speaker of the House and the second person in the presidential line of succession, following Vice President Joe Biden, discussed several other policy initiatives during her speech and argued that they all contribute to her vision of a “new prosperity.”
“When we see the environmental, economic and cultural impact of the tragedy on the Gulf Coast, we know that we need a new energy policy,” she said, referring to the ongoing oil spill. “A new energy policy is a moral issue. If you believe as I do that this planet is God’s creation, we have a moral obligation to care for it … And a new energy policy is an opportunity to ensure our new prosperity.”
“Affordable health care, quality education and establishing a new energy policy: these are the pillars of our new prosperity,” she said.
Groups of protestors and supporters gathered on the Warren Road exit of the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport Saturday morning to voice their opinions regarding Pelosi’s policies when she left the airport. However, the Speaker took a different road out of the airport.
Members of several Tea Party organizations protested Pelosi’s policies, while a group of the Speaker’s supporters, organized through the Democratic National Committee’s Organizing for America, said they wanted to welcome the Speaker to Ithaca.
“People wanted an opportunity to thank her,” said Andrea Audi, who publicized the “welcome rally for Speaker Pelosi” through the website of Organizing for America.
The organizer of the protest, Kelly Kheel, who heads the group TEA of Cortland/Tompkins County, said the protest was “not really about [Pelosi] personally, but about the policies” she has advocated and implemented.
“There [have] been a lot of unconstitutional laws passed … and freedoms have been taken away since [Pelosi] took office,” Kheel said.
Kheel said between 200 and 300 people attended the protest and only about 20 Pelosi supporters were present. Audi could not be reached Saturday afternoon for her assessment of the event.
The protestors and supporters remained civil, Kheel said, and a few members of each group even debated one another.
In a discussion with members of the press on Saturday morning, Pelosi predicted that, contrary to the expectations of some pundits, Democrats will maintain their majority in the House of Representatives after the November elections.
“Let me declare: the Democrats will be in the majority” because Democrats are interested in “jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs,” Pelosi said.
Saturday morning, Pelosi was also given a jersey signed by members of the Cornell varsity men’s basketball team, which advanced to the Sweet 16 during the NCAA playoffs this year.
“I immediately tweeted a picture of [the jersey] to the world,” Pelosi said.
The Speaker concluded her speech Saturday afternoon with a friendly gesture.
“Class of 2010: because of the honor you have given me of being your convocation speaker, always remember, you have a friend in the Speaker’s office,” she said.
The University’s 142nd Commencement Ceremony, in which the Class of 2010 will officially graduate, will take place on Sunday at Schoellkopf Stadium from 11 a.m. to noon.

BY JULIE MANGANIS STAFF WRITER
The Salem News
---- — SALEM — As he drove in the rain toward the Tobin Bridge in the hours after stabbing his pregnant girlfriend, Yulyia Galperina, multiple times, killing both her and the baby, Peter Ronchi said he had a plan to kill himself.
So, then, prosecutor Jean Curran asked, why was there a duffel bag packed with clothes in the back of his minivan?
Ronchi couldn’t answer, telling Curran he does not remember packing the bag, though he “may have.”
Ronchi said that when he realized he couldn’t carry out his suicide plan — “It’s not easy to kill yourself,” he told jurors — he got another idea.
“I did get the idea of going to New York, to my mother’s property,” he said. “My mother was buried there. I wanted to be close to her.”
But, Ronchi said, he got lost on his way to Oneonta, N.Y., ending up instead in Norwalk, Conn.
Then he ran out of gas.
So why didn’t he just use either his Visa World Wildlife Fund credit card or his Eastern Bank ATM card to get more gas at a nearby station, or his ATM card at the nearby bank, the prosecutor asked.
Ronchi had no explanation.
Instead, he spent nearly all of the cash he had on him, about $130, at a nearby Walmart.
He bought a bike and a helmet. He picked up a backpack, a rain suit and a poncho.
Then he went back to his minivan; took some items, including a Leatherman tool and his son’s fishing rod; filled his backpack; and began pedaling away, abandoning the minivan.
The bike, he insisted, was a birthday present for his son. But first, “I was planning to ride that to Oneonta.”
(Oneonta, in upstate New York, is more than 180 miles away from Norwalk).
“You weighed the pros and cons?” Curran asked, attempting to undercut his claim that he had lost his ability to reason.
“By that time, I was pretty aware of the situation,” Ronchi said. And, “I was afraid, too.”
“I just wanted to get away from everything,” he continued. “I just wanted to get away.”
“So you made a plan to get away,” the prosecutor suggested.
Ronchi, 48, of Marblehead, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the May 16, 2009, deaths of Galperina, 42, of Salem, and their unborn son, already named David. Prosecutors allege that he planned the crime, bringing with him a hunting knife and a change of clothes to her apartment.
Ronchi and his lawyers are hoping to convince jurors that he suddenly snapped after, they say, Galperina told him the baby was not his, and that because of that temporary insanity, he is guilty of no more than manslaughter.
In his testimony both on Tuesday and again yesterday, Ronchi claimed no memory of the actual crime, only an increasing rage at Galperina during an argument over the way the baby, due on May 21, would be raised.
Instead, he testified, he slowly became aware of what he had done as he stood in Galperina’s Salem Heights bathroom, his hands and pants soaked with blood.
But during her cross-examination of Ronchi, which began Tuesday and continued yesterday, Curran sought to show that Ronchi was perfectly capable of planning not only his attempted escape, but of preparing for the possibility that he might not be available for a while after killing Galperina.
Curran pressed Ronchi on the knife, a 6-inch hunting knife he testified on Tuesday that he carried for his own safety during his visits to Galperina.
Ronchi said Tuesday that he had the knife, in a leather sheath, in his jacket pocket. But yesterday, under questioning by the prosecutor, he could not say whether he was wearing the jacket as the two argued. Nor could he recall where Galperina was when he pulled the knife out, whether she was lying on the futon or sitting up.
“I really can’t remember the details,” Ronchi pleaded, as Curran asked for specifics.
“I’ve gone through this a thousand times already,” he testified.
“You pulled the knife out,” Curran said.
“I don’t remember,” Ronchi responded.
“When she said that I just lost it, I lost my reasoning, as I said yesterday, I was enraged, I don’t remember.”
Two days before he stabbed Galperina, Ronchi rewrote his will, he acknowledged yesterday. He had testified Tuesday that he decided not to include the new baby in a family trust fund that provided for his older children, instead indicating that he would purchase a life insurance policy for Galperina and the child.
And though it wasn’t due for another month and a half, Ronchi also paid the full tuition for both of his older children for the following year at Cape Ann Waldorf School. The money came from a checking account funded with a $200,000 inheritance. He also had access to a $1 million trust fund, he testified.
Ronchi, when given the opportunity by his own lawyer to explain, told jurors that he was worried that his friend Susan Slowick’s hours as a music teacher at the school would be cut and that “any little bit” of funding for the school would help.
Slowick and Ronchi, who had known each other for about five years, had been spending an increasing amount of time together in the six months before his arrest, he acknowledged yesterday. They attended concerts and visited each other, sometimes with their children.
Both say it was just a friendship.
“You never told Ms. Slowick that you were dating a woman named Yulyia Galperina and that you were expecting the birth of your child,” the prosecutor suggested.
“I don’t think I told her,” Ronchi responded.
His lawyer, John Swomley, leaped up moments later, when it was his turn again to question Ronchi.
“Were you dogging Ms. Slowick? Were you trying to be in a relationship?” Swomley asked, waving his arms.
“No,” Ronchi said.
But after Swomley suggested that it was Galperina’s idea not to tell anyone about the pregnancy, Curran took another turn at questioning Ronchi on the issue.
In fact, hadn’t Ronchi told many others about the pregnancy, including his brother, his children and ex-wife, along with a fellow massage therapist and another friend of his, the prosecutor asked.
“There were a few,” he conceded.

The 38th Annual Kennedy Center Honors pays tribute to Star Wars director George Lucas, singer/songwriter Carole King, actresses Rita Moreno and Cicely Tyson, and conductor Seiji Ozawa. During the televised event, hosted by Stephen Colbert, Stormtroopers will storm the stage and Aretha Franklin will sing “Natural Woman” which was written by King. But it’s the performance of gospel singer CeCe Winans that will move the audience to tears.
Ten-time Grammy winner CeCe Winans is the best-selling female gospel artist of all time. One of her hits is the duet “Count On Me” with Whitney Houston from the Waiting To Exhale soundtrack. (Winans sang at Houston’s funeral and was godmother to Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown who died in July 2015.) At the Kennedy Center, Winans, the 51-year-old Detroit native, will sing the song “Blessed Assurance” to honor 91-year-old Cicely Tyson, who sang the hymn in the play The Trip to Bountiful (she also starred in the 2014 film with Vanessa Williams). On stage, Winans is joined by the Cicely Tyson Community School of Performing and Fine Arts choir and trumpeter Terence Blanchard who will also pay tribute to Tyson’s late husband Miles Davis. They were married from 1981-1988. Davis died in 1991.

text: 'Me, Myself and Irene' is one of the few comedies that have a strong repeat value as it always made me laugh every time I rewatched it. Sure it has its share of crude humour. After all, it is a Farelly Brothers movie but none of it bothered me (as was the case with 'There's Something About Mary'. I just love the whole wackiness of it, the adventurous feel, the landscapes, the comic timing, the story, the lively soundtrack...all of it combined brings a freshness. Jim Carrey is in his hilarious comic form. He and Zellweger form a great pair (of course it's also known that they were dating during the film production) and have a brilliant chemistry. Zellweger is cute and vivacious. It was quite fun to watch Chris Cooper play the villain. the rest of the cast (which is a lot) contribute well. 'Me, Myself and Irene' is one of my favorite comedies, simply because it hasn't lost its repeat value and gets me laughing out loud.

Mosaici di Ravenna
published by: Composer
Winner of the first Gerald Finzi Trust Memorial Award, 1981. Its movements are respectively [i] Tableau and [ii] Toccata. The work is constructed in such a way that separate performance of its individual movements is unfeasible.
This work was recorded for CD by Jeremy Filsell for Gamut Classics [GAM CD 524] in 1991 (this recording is no longer available commercially):
A new performance by Christian Wilson was released by ACIS [APL 67065] in November 2017:
Mosaici di Ravenna
This work was written for the first Gerald Finzi Trust Memorial Award, adjudicated by a panel chaired by Kenneth Leighton. Having been my first competitive success, Mosaici survives as my earliest acknowledged composition.
The Finzi Award required an organ work based on a theme from the works of Finzi as published by Boosey and Hawkes. This in itself presented a challenge, since much of Finzi’s melodic material embraces conjunct motion in major keys, deriving its individuality from the underlying harmony. Eventually I discerned possibilities in a transitional verse from the last of Finzi’s five Shakespeare Songs, Let us Garlands Bring. This offered an octave leap, a pair of descending fourths, a fleeting semiquaver motif amenable to ostinato repetition, and a further pair of fourths piled on top of another to extend to a minor seventh. Tinkering with harmonic and tonal background led me to see the opening octave as a modally flattened seventh, which is how it makes its first appearance (such things are much better understood when heard than when laboriously described in words).
Mosaici di Ravenna has nothing else to do with Finzi, but a certain amount to do with my abiding enthusiasm for the harmonic language of Carl Nielsen and plenty to do with the impact made on me by the mosaics of two churches in or near the northern Italian city of Ravenna: The fairly central Basilica of San Vitale and the Church of Sant’Apollinare in the outlying village of Classe. The memorably cool austerity of the latter led to the opening Tableau, in which measured processional momentum is implied by rhythmic means and a more abstract sense of stillness by lengthy initial adherence to the pedal note C. Gradually the true axis reveals itself as one of conflict between modally-inflected C and the scale of B Minor. This opposition is worked out further during the Toccata, which responds to the visual exuberance and wider palette of the San Vitale mosaics. Resuming after a briefly subdued central interlude, the Toccata’s battle of wills comes down ultimately on the side of C, where the music began. A thunderous final open fifth seeks to encapsulate both triumph and austerity.
Those minded to believe that things happen for a reason may be interested that, lying briefly on the floor of Sant’Apollinare’s nave, the better to appreciate the visual miracles overhead without a stiff neck, I was disconcertingly run over by an arriving funeral cortège, which succeeded in passing over and around me without remarking my supine presence. An ostensibly descending octagonal shadow at this, the outset of my compositional career in earnest, may have been trying to tell me something. If so, the present release confirms that I have improvidently ignored it.
Francis Pott, 2016
A substantial, exciting work by a plainly good composer
Kenneth Leighton, Chairman of panel of adjudicators (including Gillian Weir and Alan Ridout), awarding the work First Prize in the Gerald Finzi Memorial Award, 1981
Mosaici di Ravenna intelligently accommodates [aspects of] the harmonic language of Carl Nielsen while paying atmospheric tribute to two churches in northern Italy. Toccata finds Pott in idiosyncratic but absorbing mood.
Michael Quinn, Choir & Organ, May-June 2018.
Francis Pott’s Mosaici di Ravenna …won the 1981 Gerald Finzi Memorial Award. The required incorporation of a theme by Finzi is insignificant, and the work gains its title and content from the lavish mosaics to be found in St Apollinare, Classe, just outside Ravenna. The first movement is broad and portrays the effect of entering the church, and the Allegro Toccata that follows is a direct response to the actual mosaics. A brief climax makes way for a gentler middle section but unrest soon returns, and the work ends with superb excitement.

The report says that to ensure fair play, a level playground and transparency of bidding process for future developers to derive comfort in Government action, the allocation of the third coal block — Chhatrasal — be appropriately reviewed.
Since the developer had committed that it would be able to source 20 million tonnes from the two blocks there would be adequate coal to feed the Sasan UMPP.
"Audit has estimated the financial benefit that will accrue to the project developer on the basis of comparison of tariff of Sasan project (Rs 1.196/unit) with that of Chitrangi (Rs 2.450/unit for Madhya Pradesh and Rs 3.702/unit). The overall financial benefit to Reliance Power due to impact of difference in tariff works out Rs 29,033 crore with a net present value of Rs 11,852 crore,'' the report says.
Commenting on the CAG report, a Reliance Power spokesperson said:"Comparisons between Sasan and Chitrangi tariff to quantify benefits is misleading – no two projects can have the same tariff even if the coal source is the same."
Tariffs vary based on risk profile and various other project-specific parameters, the spokesperson said, adding that Chitrangi has a completely different risk profile than Sasan and includes extra costs that are not present in Sasan UMPP.
"The decision of permitting surplus coal for power generation has been ratified by the Empowered Group of Ministers on two separate occasions (once in 2008 and again in 2012)," the spokesperson said.

5th International Conference on Industrial Internet of Things (ICIIoT 2019)
Official Site : http://iciiot.com/
Bali – Indonesia, 13-15 November 2019
It is our great pleasure to announce the International Conference on Industrial Internet of Things (ICIIoT 2019), to be held in November 2019 in Bali, Indonesia. The conference is organized by IEEE Indonesia Control Systems and Robotics and Automation Joint Chapter Societies (CSS/RAS).
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the integration of physical systems with sensors and software. The value propositions of the IIoT are analytics, remote access and management, collaboration, speed and accuracy of intelligence, and the easy capture and transfer of knowledge (not just data). Communities of devices in the IIoT handle small data—which when aggregated becomes part of big data. Much more demanding than either the Human Internet of Things (HIoT) or even traditional machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, IIoT applications often use autonomous, peer-to-peer distributed control. Compared to HIoT applications such as wearable fitness trackers or home thermostats, the IIoT must meet more stringent requirements.Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has quite different requirements from a Human IoT. Achieving the full potential of the IIoT will require a specialized framework of technologies be put in place. Internet of Things (IoT) has been seen as a homogeneous entity, but in fact it can be divided at a high level into the human IoT (HIoT) characterized by applications and functions that involve human interaction and the commercial and industrial IoT, which is projected to surpass the HIoT in both size and economic value. The IIoT needs Autonomous control, Peer-to-peer operation, Industrial-Strength reliability, Industrial-Grade Security, Enablement of existing devices and applications to evolve alongside new ones, Wired as well as wireless conectivity and Scalability.
The industrial Internet draws together fields such as: machine learning, big data, the Internet of things and machine-to-machine communication to ingest data from machines, analyze it (often in real-time), and use it to adjust operations. The integration of complex physical machinery with networked sensors and softwares is aimed to analyze industrial big data for actionable information, to run operations from anywhere on any device, to engage and to collaborate in cloud communities to solve business problems together, to increase speed and accuracy of intelligence, to capture and transfer knowledge easily between your people, systems, and sites, to provide high performance solutions for a connected world. The aim of the conference is to stimulate interaction and convergent among researchers active in the areas of Control, Automation, Communications, Smart Sensors and Actuators, Informatics, Wired and Wireless Systems, Mobile Technology, Computing, System Security. All topics are in the context of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Chelsea – Reaction
(Tottenham Hotspur won 5-4 on penalties)
It could be argued that this was far from vintage Tottenham. It could also be claimed that Chelsea will head back across the capital asking exactly how that one got away? But the fact is it’s Jose Mourinho’s charges who booked a place in the fifth round of the Carabao Cup after hanging in and then delivering a subtle knockout blow against their bitter rivals.
“We had a game plan and it worked,” Mourinho enthused.
“We started playing in a system that is not our system. It’s a system where we’re not at our most comfortable.
“We had a player like (Japhet) Tanganga who was playing his first minutes of the season. Not even one minute in a pre-season match. Gedson (Fernandes) the first competitive, Sergio the first competitive. The team was a difficult puzzle but we did it and the mentality of the players was amazing.”
Spurs trailed to Tino Werner’s crisp strike after 19 minutes and didn’t look like recovering the situation. However, it was a different story after the restart with Spurs delivering a sucker punch with Erik Lamela’s goal six minutes from time before advancing via the resulting penalty shootout.
“In the second half, we intensified – I don’t remember that they had a shot. We missed, of course, a presence in the box for such a performance. We had our chances. We had people arriving in very dangerous positions.
Of course, Harry (Kane) gave us more presence there. We changed the system, started having more chances – even more dangerous for them and we equalised.
“Incredible performance for us – incredible – and then the penalties. It is what it is, but the players were cool, they were confident and they deserved the victory – totally.”

IBM and Toshiba on 32nm
Toshiba today revealed that it will assist IBM's 32-nanometer processor development. The Japanese electronics maker will join AMD, Samsung, and other technology firms in the IBM Semiconductor Alliance in producing CPUs and other chips based on the smaller manufacturing process, likely leading to faster components to be shared between some or all of the firms, such as IBM's Cell processor used in the PlayStation 3 and future AMD Phenom cores.
The new deal is a further strengthening of ties between the two companies, which began two years ago when IBM and Toshiba started jointly researching the basic 32nm technology. Neither company has specifically announced its short-term goals but are likely to produce finished products by 2009, in line with similar predictions made by Intel for its own 32nm hardware.

Last week we shared news that Katt Williams was being sued by his fellow touring partner Ashima Franklin over a few alleged incidents that took place. Well as quickly as the news came it may be over. TMZ who first broke the story has now found out that Williams and Franklin already settled things which Franklin even signed a settlement.
Katt Williams is the victim of a serious double-dipper — that’s his reaction to a comedian suing him over an alleged beatdown, because he says he’s already forked over a settlement. TMZ broke the story … Ashima Franklin filed a lawsuit, saying Katt attacked and kidnapped her, but sources close to Katt say her suit is just a repeat of claims she made months ago. We’re told Ashima accepted a “small amount” of cash to squash the drama, and even signed a settlement agreement. Apparently, her lawyer didn’t get that memo … and went ahead and filed a $3 million lawsuit for her. Obviously, Katt’s attorneys sent Ashima’s lawyer the previous agreement, so she’s dismissed the suit.

Why did GM stop making the 3800?
The 3.8 was discontinued in 2009.
The 3.6 engine has had timing chain problems and the gas mileage is less than the 3.8..
How can I get more power out of my 3.8 v6?
How to Get More Horsepower From a 3.8 V6Increase the amount of air flowing into the engine. Air mixes with fuel in each engine cylinder to produce combustion, which in turn increases horsepower. … Increase the amount of fuel flowing into the engine. … Increase the amount of air flowing out of the engine.
Is the 3.8 v6 a good engine?
The 3.8 liter V6 was a conservatively designed, wider-bore, longer-stroke version of the then-new 3.3-liter V6. It was a good, solid engine from the start – not the highest performer or the lowest, but relatively quiet, driveable, and reliable….Premium Member.Category3.8 LiterFuel Regular (US: 87 octane)2 more rows•Nov 16, 2020
Is the 3800 engine good?
The 3800 is a reliable engine. I’ve seen quite a few over 200,000 miles. I’ve seen a lot over 100,000 miles with no problems. The two Camaros I’ve owned with the 3.8L were both in the 80,000 mile zone.
What size engine is a 3800?
The Buick V6, popularly referred to as the 3800 in its later incarnations, originally 198 cu in (3.2 L) and initially marketed as Fireball at its introduction in 1962, was a large V6 engine used by General Motors. The block is made of cast iron and all use two-valve-per-cylinder iron heads, actuated by pushrods.
How much horsepower does a 3800 v6 have?
The supercharged 3800 Series III, found in the Grand Prix GT or GTP (depending on model year), unleashed 260 horsepower. The 3800 and 3800 SC Supercharged engines offered 230 foot-pounds of torque at 4,000 RPM and 380 foot-pounds of torque at 5,200 RPM, respectively.
Can v6 beat v8?
A turbo V6 is likely to beat a non-turbo V8, unless there’s a MUCH bigger V8 than V6 (Mazda did a V6 of 1.8 liter some time ago, which was at the time the smallest V6 available – even with a turbo, that would NOT beat a 5.7 liter V8). … But given the same model of car, the V8 is likely to win over a non-turbo V6.
Can you put a supercharger on a stock 3800?
One of the most common questions in the 3800 market is “Can I bolt a GTP supercharger onto my GT (L36) engine. The short answer is no. The only things the non supercharged and supercharged 3800’s have in common are the block and crank.
Is the 3800 Series 2 a good engine?
3.8 engines have a pretty good reputation. … It has the 3800 series II engine. I put 1,000,000,000 miles in 6 years, now it has 1,331,560,423 the only things I’ve changed on it is the oil, the transmission fluid, the brake fluid radiator flush. It still runs great.
When did GM stop making the 3800?
19671988-2003: The 3800 becomes GM’s workhorse engine. The engine grew to 225 cubic inches in 1964. Production stopped in 1967, and GM sold engine and production tooling to the Kaiser-Jeep Corp., the company that owned the Jeep brand.
How much horsepower does a 3800 Series 2 have?
Both engines share the same engine blocks, but compression is reduced from 9.4:1 in the L36 to 8.5:1 for the L67. Power is up to 240 hp (180 kW) and 280 ft lbf (380 N m) of torque. Final drive ratios are reduced in most applications, for better fuel economy and more use of the engine’s torque in the low range.
What is the difference between a 3800 Series I II III?
The biggest difference between the motors is the Series III has stronger connecting rods, an aluminum upper plenum, which eliminated the leak point of the Series II, and it had a return-less fuel system setup.
What cars have 3.8 supercharged?
That said, you can find supercharged 3800 engines in the 1996-2005 Buick Park Avenue Ultra, the 1997½-2004 Buick Regal GS, and the 1996-1999 Buick Riviera, as well as various models from Pontiac, Chevrolet, and other makes within the GM family.
How much oil does a 3800 supercharger take?
This is a relatively simple process, but you do need 8 oz of the special supercharger oil, a 3/16″ Allen wrench, the pump mechanism from a pump spray bottle, and a container to catch the oil.

If a Picture is worth a thousand words,
imagine what a video can do
I have always had a keen interest in photography. A number of years ago I purchased my first camera and began to learn the basics. Since then, as my photography skills grew I began to venture into video. The skills learned from photography easily transferred over to video and helped me in the creative process.
After filming a friends wedding and loving the results I decided to set up theweddingfilmguys.com to showcase my work and help people find a great wedding videographer. I like to focus on the cinematic style of wedding video as I like to be creative and tell a story rather than document every single minute of the day.
With traditional wedding videos the video camera is usually shot continuously. There is not much creativity involved besides following the couple around and documenting everything that’s being done. There’s no storytelling involved and nothing done in the edit that would give you those emotions you would get from a cinematic wedding video. It’s pretty much a point and shoot type of thing and it’s much cheaper than having a cinematographer at your wedding.
I have created many cinematic wedding videos for numerous happy couples. Some of which are showcased here. So please check them out and contact me with any enquiries.

Chrysler CEO: I'm Staying on Through 2015
Sergio Marchionne, the chief executive of both Chrysler and its controlling shareholder Fiat SpA, said he hoped to stay on through 2015 and would groom a successor from within the company's ranks.
Marchionne, who orchestrated Fiat's management takeover of the U.S. automaker, has been the architect of Chrysler's revival after a 2009 bankruptcy funded by the Obama administration.
Some auto industry executives and bankers have privately questioned how long Marchionne could sustain an intense, hands-on management style marked by long workdays and frequent flights between Turin and Detroit.
Speaking at an industry conference on Wednesday, Marchionne said he hoped that a merged Chrysler-Fiat would become one of the industry's largest global competitors.
"It's going to be up to the guy after me, after 2015 hopefully," Marchionne said. "Maybe a year later, I don't know. I'm 59 now. There's going to be a guy after me, that's for sure."
Marchionne's mention of a successor corresponded to a dip in Fiat's share price. The stock was down 1.7 percent at 5.98 euros in late afternoon trading in Europe.
Marchionne also told reporters, in response to a question: "I brought up 2015 as a point of reference. But the last thing we want is speculation about when I'm going to leave. I technically can go beyond 2015."
Separately, Marchionne said that the tone of Chrysler's contract talks with the United Auto Workers union had been "incredibly productive."
He said he was looking for a contract with the union that would keep the smallest U.S. automaker competitive with rivals on labor costs while allowing union workers "to share in the potential wealth."
Chrysler has the lowest average hourly wage costs of any of the three U.S. automakers because it has the highest proportion of workers at a second-tier wage of about $14 per hour, half of the pay for veteran workers.
Chrysler, Ford Motor Co and General Motors Co <GM.N> have signaled a willingness to negotiate some form of profit sharing with the UAW if they can avoid higher fixed costs that hurt the industry during the last downturn.

MAS noted that its review of the case is its most comprehensive anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism review to date, adding that it has worked closely with the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC), Commercial Affairs Department (CAD), as well as foreign regulatory and law enforcement agencies to uncover a complex web of transactions involving numerous offshore shell companies and conspirators operating in multiple jurisdictions.
The Authority also revealed that there are ongoing investigations into other financial institutions and individuals suspected of being involved in the 1MDB-related offences.
In order to strengthen its protection to consumers and safeguard public trust in financial institutions, MAS said that it will put in place several measures such as the following:
- Timely and adequate disclosure of corporate information by listed companies;
- Business conduct of financial advisers and their representatives;
- Financial institutions’ compliance with Anti-Money Laundering(AML) / Combatting the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) requirements;
- Brokerage houses’ internal controls to detect and deter market abuse; and
- Surveillance and investigations into suspected insider trading.

A MAS spokesperson told CNA: “After Apollo was developed, we tested it using past cases where investigations had been completed and market manipulation was found to have occurred.”
Executive Director (Enforcement) of MAS Gillian Tan said: “As Singapore’s financial industry grows in size and complexity, so will the risks of financial misconduct.
“Enforcement plays a critical role in financial supervision through the detection, investigation and punishment of serious misconduct.
“This is intended to deter illegal and unethical behaviour and protect consumers,” she said.
Ms Tan added: “Building on last year’s Enforcement Monograph, the Enforcement Report provides detailed insights into MAS’ enforcement work and priorities, and provides the public and financial sector with a comprehensive picture of our ongoing efforts to preserve the integrity of Singapore’s financial markets.”

The Theory of Moral Sentiments Paperback – October 1, 2013
Frequently Bought Together
"One of the truly outstanding books in the intellectual history of the world...A global manifesto of profound significance to the interdependent world in which we live. It is indeed a book of amazing reach and contemporary relevance."
-Amartya Sen, from the Introduction --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) lays the foundation for a general system of morals, and is a text of central importance in the history of moral and political thought. By means of the idea of sympathy and the mental construct of an impartial spectator, Smith formulated highly original theories of conscience, moral judgment and the virtues. This volume offers a new edition of the text with helpful notes for the student reader, together with a substantial introduction that sets the work in its philosophical and historical context. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
Top Customer Reviews
Smith's first section deals with the "Propriety of Action". The very first chapter of the book is entitled "Of Sympathy". This is very telling of Smith's view of life, and his approach to how men should conduct their lives. "How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it." (p 1:1). Later Smith asserts that this "sympathy, however, cannot, in any sense, be regarded as a selfish principle." (p 2:178)
This propriety of conduct undergirds all social, political and economic activities, private and public. When Smith observes that "hatred and anger are the greatest poisons to the happiness of a good mind" (p 1:44) he is speaking not only of interpersonal relationships but of its moral extensions in the community and world.Read more ›
Smith takes our moral nature as a given. Humans are born with an innate capacity for sympathy. We identify others as like ourselves and unless otherwise provoked, do not want to hurt others. We also have an innate desire for esteem. We learn early that treating others kindly gains us admiration in the same way that we naturally admire kind people. This is the core of Smiths thesis and from here he puts examines these principles across an array of human behaviors. Why do we tell truths when we could tell undetected lies? Why would we do kindly to others even if esteem of peers is not gauranteed? Why would some die for their family members or their country?
Probably the trait Smith admires most is prudence; the art of knowing what is and is not appropriate action both in our subjective judgement and that of an imagined 'impartial spectator.' The prudent person is able and willing to put herself in the context of other people. 'Although an action seems justified to me, would others see it that way?' 'Would satisfying small desire X of mine be an obstacle to other's fulfillment of larger desires?'
It goes on from there. Smith puts these ideas well to the test going through scenario after scenario. Because of this, I would say this book should be shelved in psychology, not philosophy as it simply tries to give an account of the way we think. Thus the philosopher looking for a forcefully stated, internally consistent and completely reasoned 'moral system' will not find it in these pages.Read more ›

The historic confectionery company Galup renews its link with art and participates for the fourth consecutive year in Art For Excellence, the contemporary art exhibition in Turin that meets the companies of excellence in Piedmont, combining each one with a renowned artist: appointment from 8 to 24 November, at the Mastio della Cittadella in Turin.
Galup's artistic partner is again Max Ferrigno, the talented "popsurrealist" artist originally from Casale Monferrato: therefore, both of Piedmontese excellences. Ferrigno has created a great work for Galup, acrylic on canvas, entitled "Karechan": the protagonist is a young model inspired by the Japanese cosplayer of the same name - KareChan - designed with colors that draw on the color range of the panettone and its ingredients, therefore a precise choice. The background is a texture that fades between fuchsia and pink, with words that refer to the company's DNA: "excellence", "quality", "panettone", "taste", "tradition", "1922".
Ferrigno thus married the love for manga taste and his strong personality with the key concepts of Galup, a company that has always been known for its unique and immediately recognizable packaging. It is no coincidence that the well-established collaboration between Galup and Max Ferrigno during the various editions of Art For Excellence has also translated into a line of Panettoni and Pandori from the Piedmontese company: the POP ART range by Max Ferrigno. The acrylics created by the artist have been transformed into wrappers, to interpret a great Christmas classic in a contemporary key and dress the most glamorous and metropolitan Christmas tables.

Srinagar, : Public transport has resumed plying at many places in Kashmir and shops have been gradually reopening as more people are now carrying out their day to day activities giving a semblance of normalcy in the Valley despite a strike called by separatists.
Mini-buses, cabs and auto-rickshaws were plying in good numbers across the summer capital here leading to traffic snarls at some places.
“Even as there was a call for observing strike, public transport was plying in Srinagar and many other district headquarters of Kashmir,” an official said, adding the inter-district transport has also improved.
Shops, fuel stations and other business establishments were open in some areas in the civil lines as well as in the outskirts of the city here, officials said.
Reports of shops being open as well as increased public transport plying on the roads were received from many other districts of the Valley, they said.
Vendors put up their stalls along TRC Chowk-Batamaloo axis through Lal Chowk city centre, they said. However, some other facets of life remained affected due to the strike.
While, annual board examinations were currently on, the attendance in schools and colleges remained affected.
Except for the past weekend, Kashmir has witnessed shutdown since July 8 when Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani was killed in an encounter with security forces.
The separatists, who have been issuing weekly protest programmes, have extended the strike till December 1, announcing two full days of relaxation on the weekend like the past week.
As many as 86 people, including two police personnel, have been killed and several thousand others injured in the ongoing unrest in the Valley. Around 5000 security forces personnel have also been injured in the clashes.
