You may not know Bobby Brackins’ name, but you’ve definitely heard his songs. The L.A. based, Bay Area-raised songwriter and singer had his first big break writing Ray J’s infamous perceived Kanye West dis “I Hit It First.” But it was two hit songs he penned in 2014 that really blew him into the stratosphere – Chris Brown’s “Loyal” and Tinashe’s “2 On.”
After several years as a songwriter-for-hire, Brackins is making moves as a solo artist. His latest single is “My Jam,” featuring Jeremih and Zendaya. We talked to him about his career, the Bay, and how songwriting credits really work.
Forbes: Can you tell me about your background and how you got started in music?
Bobby Brackins: I’m from Oakland, California. I started making music in high school with my friend Nic Nac, and we’re still making music together. We started when we were fifteen in his mom’s basement, and we just took off.
F: You worked early on with people who would go on to some big things, like DJ Mustard and YG. How did you meet them?
B: Me and YG got signed at the same time. He had this song called “Toot It And Boot It,” and I had this song called “143.” Def Jam is under the Universal umbrella, and I was signed to Universal/Republic, so the labels put us together on the road. We were the newest kids with deals, so they paired us up together and I met Ty Dolla $ign, and me and Ty Dolla $ign became friends. And then Mustard was DJing for us on that tour. We all kept working, and things were happening for everyone.
F: In addition to your solo career, you’ve had success as a songwriter for other artists. Was that something you started before you signed on your own?
B: I always used to write parts of songs for other people. When I was working on my own music, even back in high school, I wrote hooks for singers to be on my songs. I didn’t really know what I was doing. I just knew that I was really good with lyrics and melody, so it was like, let me write this part of the song. Eventually, it turned into people wanting me to write them their own songs. So it all started off naturally – I didn’t know BMI or ASCAP or songwriting. I was just naturally doing what I wanted to do.
F: What was your first big break as a writer?
B: My first big break on the writing side has got to be the song I did for Ray J, the “Hit It First” song. After that, my publisher started really paying attention to me and tried to put me in more sessions.
F: What was it like to see a song you wrote be such a hot topic?
B: It was crazy, man. As soon as that song came out, it was the biggest thing on the Internet. Every blog you can imagine posted it. But it was a gift and a curse, because a lot of people took the song as a negative connotation. I just wanted it to be a fun song that people could relate to about having their ex move on, but in the back of your mind you’re fine because you’ve already been with that person. But Ray J’s life is so public, it triggered a different twist. People assumed a lot of things about the song, and it got a little out of control. But it was never meant to be a dis song. I just wanted it to be a fun song people could relate to, and people ended up taking it more as a shot at people. But it was never meant to be that.
F: Two of the hugest songs of 2014 that you wrote were “Loyal” for Chris Brown and “2 On” for Tinashe. Those songs have a ton of writers. “Loyal” has something like seventeen people with songwriting credit.
B: It’s crazy! It has Notorious B.I.G. on it, it has Puff Daddy on it. It’s just because people, in their rap verse, were using other people’s lyrics.
F: So you must get a crash course in stuff like that once you start writing hits of that caliber.
B: Exactly. You can’t control that kind of stuff. As a songwriter, you normally do the singing parts, like the verses or the hook. When they get an artist featured on it, you can’t write the rapper’s verse for them, so you don’t have any control if they’re using old Jay Z or Biggie Smalls lines.
F: For the Tinashe song, there are also a bunch of people credited.
B: That got all crazy, too. In the bridge, I used a melody from a Sean Paul song [“We Be Burnin’”]. I told Tinashe after we made the song that that was my least favorite part. She should take it out and we can redo the bridge. But she was like, “My label likes it, I like it, I want to keep it.” The label said that they ended up clearing it. But then as soon as the song came out commercially, they’re like, we cleared it, but Sean Paul wants a portion of the song.
I was like, “What? You guys never said he wanted a portion of the song. You just said he cleared it.” So it’s a learning experience. I’m not going to do interpolation in any song I ever do again.
F: That experience actually changed the way you write, then.
B: Yeah. I would never do interpolation again because people can request whatever percentage they want. The only thing I would do is interpolate something I wrote myself because I’m not going to make myself give up a bigger portion.
F: Those two songs got your name out there. They helped your solo career, but they also launched you into a whole new realm of people you’re collaborating with. Didn’t you just do some stuff with Gwen Stefani?
B: I was just working with [producer] Benny Blanco. I went over to his house a couple days, working on records for [Gwen’s] album. But these things, you don’t even know what people use until they actually come out. A lot of these artists work on projects so far in advance that some of the songs, even if it’s a good song, might get lost in the shuffle because there are so many songs being made. I’ve written for a lot of different people, and you never really know what’s going to come out until it comes out.
F: So you can potentially have something that you wrote a year or two ago come out and end up on the radio, and you would have no idea until you heard it?
B: People who do really good business, they’ll let you know you made the final cut, [and they’ll say,] let’s figure out the splits, let’s figure out the percentages. But in this industry, a lot of people don’t do such good business. You might be like, “I did the bridge on that song, and nobody ever called me about it.” That’s when, if you want to, you have to get lawyers or publishers involved. That’s just a headache. I just like to get the business out of the way so everybody’s comfortable and knows where they stand.
F: Can you give our readers an idea of how the splits would work for a song that you’d be involved in writing?
B: Let’s say I wrote the whole song. The producer of the beat gets 50% of the song, and the songwriter gets 50% of the song. So let’s say the artist comes in, and you want them to be part of the song. I have no problem from my 50% giving a portion of the song to the artist. They’re the ones going out and performing and getting it popping. So for one motivation, one incentive for the artist to want to make the song a single, I have no problem giving over a little bit of my writer’s share.
Then let’s say a producer has another producer come in and add guitar or add drums. Some producers do that work for hire. Some other producers will be say, okay, here’s a part of this beat, so I want a part of the production share too.
It all starts 50-50 with songwriter and producer, but when artists and guitar players and drummers get involved, and when features get involved on a song, everything gets broken down more and more.
F: And those percentages are negotiated among the people involved?
B: Everything’s negotiated. A lot of times, like I said, people get paid cash in hand, not taking any of the publishing. But sometimes if you’re a really big guitar player, you’ll be like, no, I want a portion of the song. My name is hot, I deserve a portion. I’m sure if Carlos Santana came and played guitar on one of the songs we did, he wouldn’t [just] want work for hire. He might want work for hire and publishing. So it’s just all about where you stand. The more hits you have, the more credibility you have, the more leverage you have, and the more demands you can start making.
F: The session you did with Benny Blanco – was that just the two of you? Was Gwen there? Were there a bunch of people working on stuff simultaneously?
B: It was a bunch of people working on stuff simultaneously. Charlie XCX was there, Diplo was there, Pete Wentz [of Fall Out Boy] was there. A whole bunch of artists get together in different studios and are all focusing on trying to make the project at hand as cool as possible. You never know what they’re going to use. If the artist likes what you start, it has the potential of becoming a single.
F: Is there anything you do when writing to make sure that the song has the best chance of being a single, in terms of style or tempo or subject matter?
B: You never really know. Some artists might be like, I’m going to make this a single because there’s a hot producer. Some people don’t think like that. They think, I want to make this a single because this is the best song I have. It can be really political, like who’s involved with the song, or it can be based on talent, what song comes off the best in quality. I’ve seen a lot of people have better songs instead of the ones they go with as singles, but I know the reason they went with the song was because they had a big name producer tied to it.
F: What’s going on with your solo career? You have a song with Zendaya that just came out.
B: I’ve been writing for the past year and a half, two years. After “2 On” came out, people started paying attention again. I can say that I went out and made it happen myself. I didn’t have a manager when I did “Loyal” or when I did “2 On.” I was doing all that stuff by myself. You have to make people want to be involved with what you’re doing. So I did that, and I had two of the biggest songs last year. I had a publisher, but I set those sessions up myself.
So after that, I had more leverage to work on my own stuff, with people paying more attention to the songs that I’m working on. And when I did this song called “Hotbox” with G-Eazy and Mila J and it turned out to be really good. I live in L.A., Power 106 plays it all the time. Stations all over the West Coast have been showing it love. After that, I toured with G-Eazy and we’ve been performing it. Me and Mila J are going to perform it on Revolt TV. It’s been a good song, and it has people paying attention again.
I just put out a new song called “My Jam” with Zendaya and Jeremih, and the phones are really ringing now. Everybody knows this is going to be one of the biggest songs of the summer. So it’s just making sure that we cross all our t’s and dot all our i’s to make sure that this song gets the real push that it deserves.
F: What’s next for you?
B: I got a deal with with Lava Records, with Jason Flom. He’s an industry O.G. He signed Sugar Ray, Stone Temple Pilots, Lenny Kravitz, Katy Perry, Tori Amos. Most recently, he signed Lorde. So he has a lot of credibility with the people who he finds. It’s pretty cool to think that he wants to get involved in my music now, because he’s had such great success already in the industry.
We’re banging out the final pages of the contract right now. After that, they’re going to put the machine behind me, and then Lava Records and Jason Flom are going to do what they can to make this song one of the biggest songs of the summer, and I know that they can. God willing, this song will be the biggest song I’ve ever done in my career.
F: Some of our readers might look at you and say, he can write hit songs and make a lot of money and hang out with big stars. Why would you also want to perform and go on that grind?
B: It’s all about legacy. I can write a million songs for a million people that I love, but like I said, you never know what people will use as their singles. Picking singles isn’t all about the best music. Picking singles can get very political at times. So I don’t want to make a whole bunch of good music and have the songs not get out there.
Me being able to have my own artist career, if I make a song for somebody and they don’t use it, then I can use it for myself. I can let the song get out there, and it can still be a part of my legacy. Honestly, when I was working on “My Jam,” it was for another artist [Brackins has copped in other interviews to it being Jennifer Lopez], and their A&R ended up passing on it. I was like, this song is such a hit, they’re tripping.
So then months down the line, their manager heard the song and they’re like, “Why didn’t we get this song?” I’m like, “Your A&R passed on it.” So I don’t care who the songs go to, but being an artist myself, I can make sure that the really good songs get out there and not have them just sit on my e-mail because of politics.
F: Finally, I know you live in L.A. now, but you’re a big Bay Area guy. You’ve done songs with a ton of people out there, from E-40 to G-Eazy and Kreayshawn. What influence did the Bay Area scene have on the stuff you’re writing?
B: The Bay is such a melting pot of different cultures and different things that people are into. I have so many friends who are in different spheres. I grew up skateboarding, so I had friends who listened to ska and punk rock. I also grew up in East Oakland, which is a real urban area, so I had friends who were into more gangsta-type music.
I grew up listening to a lot of different kinds of music. On one hand, it’s bands like Green Day and Less Than Jake and Sublime. Then on the other end, I’m listening to Tupac and Too $hort. That’s why my writing today is its own style, because I didn’t grow up listening to one genre of music.
My stepdad was heavily involved in my life, and he loved Earth, Wind & Fire and The Temptations. So I had all kind of different music growing up. I learned to love melody, I learned to love texture, I learned to find different aspects of songs that I liked in all different kinds of music. So that’s why I’m able to be so versatile now in my songwriting.


Oil refining factories are ready to manufacture high eco-class fuel in Bashkiria
From the beginning of 2013 a ban for fuel turnover of the second class ("Euro-2") is imposed in Russia. Respective amendments to technical regulations were approved by the Government of the country in the autumn 2011. Then the decision to prolong turnover of gasoline and diesel fuel "Euro-2" till December 31, 2012, "Euro-3" — till December 31, 2014, "Euro-4" — till December 31, 2015 was accepted.
The main reason of such decision was that 50 % of domestic car owners used for that moment gasoline of "Euro-2" class and lower. Besides, the authorities were afraid that oil refining factories would not be able to produce necessary volume of fuel of high ecological class.
Meanwhile, as the press-service of JSOC "Bashneft" informs, transition to manufacture of fuel of high ecological classes was planned at Ufa Oil Refining Factory even from the moment of preparation of corresponding technical regulations. Now all motor fuel made at "Bashneft" Oil Refining Factory corresponds to requirements of technical regulations not lower than the 3rd ecological class. The main volume of fuel corresponds to the forth ecological class ("Euro-4"), according to demand structure in wholesale trade. Since July, 2012 "Bashneft" sells automobile gasoline and diesel fuel only of the 5th ecological class ("Euro-5") through its own network of fuel stations.
As the company press-service marks, at planned execution of all projects implemented now, "Bashneft" will completely focused on production of motor fuel ("Euro-5") within the year of 2014.

It appears Ghana would not be able to track looming tremors and earthquakes should any trigger. The Geological Service Department owes its satellite signal prompters based in the United States some US$36,000. The country has, therefore, been cut off any communication if such disasters are imminent.
The concerns have surfaced in the wake of yesterday’s earth tremors in some seismic prone areas in the national capital Accra. Weija and its environs experienced some tremors which frightened residents there.
Speaking to Ultimate Radio, Director of the Geological Service Department Adjei Duodoo said they couldn’t detect it because the station is no longer receiving signals.
“Yesterday we had a tremor, but we couldn’t pick it. We have six remote stations but such information is transmitted through a modern satellite provided by the Hunters Communications of USA. Unfortunately, the subscription fee has not been settled up till now so we have been switched off,” he bemoaned.
“It is about US$36,000 and it is a bulk fund for three years. We are a government subvented organization which prepares its budgets and must receive our monies from the Ministry of Finance.”
Mr. Duodoo was also worried the facility needed some fencing and a gate to secure the place from encroachment and unscrupulous elements which could sneak through the bushes to temper with their machines and even steal them.
He emphasized that the installation was a critical one which needs some amount of isolation from noise and satellite interruptions coming from telecoms and radio frequencies.
Another challenge he stated was to do with the power fluctuations which demand that they power a 250 KVA generator on an extra cost. He outlined that several areas in the country fell on the fault lines where earthquakes could occur.
“We have the coastal bandage fault; we have the Togo – Akuapim fault, and they are intercepting around Weija and McCarthy Hill and we have been recording many Epic Centers around that place. In actual fact, the center of Accra is part. Ridge Hospital, TUC, former Mobil House, former Ambassador Hotel, the Castle, Osu and Makola are all on the fault areas.”
He added that the “Flagstaff house, the CID Headquarters and the Regional Police Premises are earthquake prone areas.” “Tema is also part, Akosombo is part, parts of Akuapim Ridge. Ho and Tito all in the Volta Region are all on the fault region.”
When asked whether the country couldn’t be prompted to take any precautions for any imminent tremors or earthquakes coming in, he stated that the nation can only hope to predict right.
“We can have a tremor of about 3.3 magnitudes. It could increase to 3.5 then to four. Here, we can warn that there could be an imminent one, and we need to get ourselves prepared,” he described.
Ultimate Morning Show Host, Kofi Owusu: “So if we are not able to tell the level of this tremor or any of these things that might happen anytime soon, it means we are living in danger?” Mr. Duodoo, “definitely.”
The deadliest earthquake in Ghana occurred in 1939 specifically In Accra. 17 people died with 133 sustaining injuries. Several buildings were affected with the roofs of the Osu Castle; the then seat of government ripped off.

The United States Air Force (USAF) anticipates that the prospective Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) sixth-generation aircraft, which lawmakers have criticized for various factors, will cost hundreds of millions of dollars each tail.
On April 27, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall told members of Congress that the manned fighter aircraft, that will be at the core of the Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program, would require hundreds of millions of dollars each.
Kendall said the main NGAD fighter will cost “hundreds of millions of dollars… on an individual basis” while testifying before the House Armed Services Committee on the fiscal 2023 budget proposal, conceding that such a massive price tag “is a number that’s going to attract your attention.”
The F-22, on the other hand, costs almost $135 million per tail, making it the most expensive fighter ever produced by the US Air Force. The F-35A, on the other hand, costs roughly $80 million per plane but remains the most costly project in the history of the US military.
Furthermore, as seen by Lockheed Martin executives’ statement that rising inflation and pandemic supply chain disruptions could push the cost of the F-35 stealth fighter higher than planned. As a result, the cost of this aircraft is expected to rise even further.
According to Kendall, NGAD will exceed such expenditures, at least in terms of cost per plane. But, as Kendall pointed out, the sixth-generation platform will play an important role in air domination.
“It’s going to be an expensive airplane; F-22 was an expensive airplane. It’s also an incredibly effective aircraft. It’s been dominant in the air for decades now. And we expect NGAD to be the same,” Kendall said.
Concerned Over Price
However, it appears that the United States will attempt to keep the overall cost of the program low. Kendall emphasized that the service can lower development and maintenance costs.
“That starts in development,” Kendall added, emphasizing the importance of designing the system so that “you can do upgrades and do maintenance very efficiently.”
The F-35’s sustainment expenses and challenges have underlined this requirement, which has ballooned to massive costs for the program that will exceed $1.25 trillion over its service life.
The F-35 program began in 1992 to create a cost-effective, one-size-fits-all aircraft for the Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy. However, last year, the Air Force publicly admitted that it failed the affordability test.
Meanwhile, given the scarcity of fighter aircraft across services, US senators had previously raised concern about diverting resources from in-production fighters to future programs such as NGAD, which are still in the planning stages.
That is why the military is attempting to justify the aircraft’s expense by portraying it as a requirement for future conflicts.
In addition, Kendall had previously stated that the NGAD program will feature aircraft that is “much less expensive, autonomous, uncrewed… employing a distributed, tailorable mix of sensors, weapons, and other mission equipment.”
Kendall told Congress that these unmanned companions will be attributable: they won’t be expendable, but they’ll be cheap enough to be used for more dangerous missions. The cost of these systems, however, is not provided by the Air Force.
However, given the expenses of the sixth-generation fighter, as well as the comparatively high costs of the F-35 and the F-15EX, these unmanned companions will have to be affordable to meet the Air Force’s normal “high-low” balance of fighters, according to Kendall.
Meanwhile, according to Kendall, the Air Force is determined to Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr.’s vision of a “4+1” fighter fleet that includes the F-35, F-15EX, F-16, F-22, and A-10 until the NGAD is operational.
While outlining the NGAD fighter, Kendall also referenced the Advanced Engine Transition Program, which is still in development and will likely power the NGAD fighter.
The next-generation engines being developed as part of the AETP (Adaptive Engine Transition Program) are cutting-edge, with higher range, acceleration, and cooling capability.
The next-generation fighter jet engine is designed and optimized for the Lockheed Martin F-35. However, the propulsion technology will also be used to power the US Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD), a sixth-generation fighter program.
The engines have piqued Congress’s interest since Air Force’s budget request for 2023 allocates $273 million to AETP. This raised concerns among lawmakers that the Air Force was developing a second F-35 engine program.
“It’s not a second F-35 engine. It’s a completely new and much-improved F-35 engine, potentially,” Kendall said.
“It’s a technology that was in very early stages of development when I first saw it in 2010 and has matured fairly well. It offers the opportunity for, on the order of 20-25 percent cost savings or mission-range improvements. So it’s a substantial improvement and would be a replacement for the current engine, not a second one.”
Kendall indicated that, like NGAD, the price of AETP is expected to be substantial. He further said that getting that engine fully developed and into production will cost [more than] $6 billion in development costs.
The service is paying for the development this year, for the next increment, but it will have to contend for resources in its budget in the future. However, the system would have a significant advance above present capabilities.

It recently emerged that there was a vulnerability, which if exploited, would collapse the bitcoin network, or any other UTXO blockchain for that matter. Digibyte has now fixed this with the release of Digibyte core v6.16.5. As per the Digibyte’s GitHub repository, the update fixes the private key import bug from old wallets, the bug with duplicate inputs in a transaction, and updates the right wallet image to 6.16.5. This swift move by the Digibyte developer team now means that Digibyte is free of the vulnerability that was threatening to bring down all UTXO blockchains, with huge ramifications to the blockchain ecosystem.
Their swift action reinforces Digibyte (DGB) as one of the safest and most reliable blockchains in the market. That’s because Digibyte not only has some revolutionary features to it, it is also has a team behind it that is proactive in ensuring that the network runs as required, 100% of the times. That’s the kind of reliability and dependability that corporations look for, when adopting new technologies, especially on critical issues such as a security.
In essence, the update opens the way for the adoption of Digibyte for its security capabilities. For instance, Digi-ID has a huge potential use-case in the banking industry. Banks can use it in online banking, as a tool to protect their customers from getting hacked, when conducting business online. However, for banks to integrate such a blockchain service into their systems, it would have to prove itself beyond reasonable doubt that it is indeed secure. So far Digibyte (DGB) has pretty much proven itself. That’s because, Digibyte as a blockchain, is pretty much safe from a 51% attack since it uses 5 mining algorithms. And now it has proven itself even more, with a quick and comprehensive upgrade, ahead of all other UTXO blockchains.
As the business world begins to appreciate the security of Digibyte and its forward-thinking approach to security, its value in the market will rise. Nothing is as valuable as security in a world where sensitive data is increasingly stored online. The increased incidence and boldness of hackers will lead to an organic growth of Digibyte (DGB), as the primary security tool, for any organization looking to secure information on the blockchain.
But even with such strengths, why is Digibyte (DGB) lagging behind in price? Well, there are a number of factors contributing to it, but the biggest one is that it is truly decentralized. Digibyte (DGB) doesn’t have a centralized team behind it, shilling the project. It is fully community driven. That’s part of the reason why it hasn’t been listed on major exchanges where some fee is required.
There’s simply no central entity to pay such fees for listing. However, while this may come across as a disadvantage in the short term, it will be its biggest asset in the future. That’s because the majority of investors are yet to understand the importance of decentralization. It will be truly revealed when some cryptos begin to try and control how investors interact with their tokens. It’s at that point that people will appreciate the control that truly decentralized blockchains put in the hands of the coin holders, and projects like DGB will come to the spotlight. On top of that, it’s cost-effective and unbreakable security solutions will in the long-run draw organizations towards Digibyte (DGB).
The other factor contributing to Digibyte’s underperformance is an overall bearish market. The market has been down all through 2018, with several failed rallies. If the market gains bullish momentum in Q4, then Digibyte (DGB) could perform quite well towards the end of the year. It rallied last year with the rest of the market, and will rally with it in the future.

The Modi government had prepared the ‘The Geospatial Information Regulation Bill 2016’ following instances where certain social networking sites showed Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh as part of Pakistan and China respectively.
The bill prohibits showing parts of India as territories of China or Pakistan on any digital platform and could land violators in jail with a maximum term of seven years and fine up to Rs 100 crore.
No person shall depict, disseminate, publish or distribute any wrong or false topographic information of India including international boundaries through internet platforms or online services or in any electronic or physical form, the bill says.


Affordability coupled with high quality sound
A cheap Bluetooth earphone set which actually does not kill your listening experience. There is practically no reduction in sound quality as you move away from the Bluetooth transmitter.
The remote volume control which is attached to the earphones is somewhat bulky and takes away from the lightweight nature of the earphones.
Sony DR-BT100CX Bluetooth
A Bluetooth earphone set that really gives comfort
The Sony DR-BT100CX Bluetooth ear bud style Earphone set really gives value for money and makes using a Bluetooth earphone set a true pleasure. Most of the low-budget Bluetooth earphones I have used started to wane in volume and sound quality as soon as I started moving away from the source of the Bluetooth signal. However, the Sony DR-BT100CX didn't lose its sound quality even at a distance of 30 feet from the source. This was truly an amazing experience.
The remote volume control that comes with the earphones is attached to the earphones themselves and gives excellent control over what you are listening to. However, it takes away from the small proportions of the earphone, making it slightly bulky. Nevertheless, the ear phones are quite small and fit in the ear nicely, canceling out all external noise, allowing you to enjoy your music to the maximum.
The Sony DR-BT100CX is a great choice for anyone who is looking for a good-quality Bluetooth earphone set that can be obtained at a reasonable price.
Where to Purchase:
• Convenient standard USB charging
• Receiver with built-in microphone for use with phone (Hands-Free) function
• Profiles: A2DP, AVRCP, HFP (1.0), HSP (Ver.1.1)
• Volume adjustment
• Bluetooth Version 2.0
• MSRP: $79.99

It is becoming common to find medical manufacturers turning to a continuous-motion system for the solvent bonding and automated assembly of products. These systems are responsible for creating check valves, cannulae, filters, IV-set components, and syringes. What makes these systems so desirable? Continuous motion assembly machines offer businesses several advantages over systems that operate using intermittent motion.
The transferring of components onto a continuous motion assembly machine, as well as their passage along, are smooth. The system protects fragile assemblies and parts from damage. Continuous-motion systems utilize constant motion to reduce the acceleration needed to transfer parts from a track to the assembly dial. It is possible to reach speeds above 400 PPM for operations requiring between 4 and 6 seconds to accomplish.
Continuous motion assembly machines are accurate. The machine’s ability to deliver consistent parts is unmatched. Tooling never loses contact with components. Part alignment is maintained throughout assemblies (large and small runs). The systems perform different and complex tasks, but they do not require much maintenance or experience significant downtime.
Continuous Motion Assembly Machine
When designing automated assembly machines, you must also consider your needs for radially orienting parts for assembly. One of the most common methods is to feed parts onto a single track in a random orientation. After that, you will then rotate each piece in the assembly dial. Machine tooling is used to stop the part in correction orientation. In operations such as these, the orientation feature on parts needs to have adequate strength to stop rotation while also being in a tolerance per radial accuracy.

"Hopefully, we're finding that we're becoming a little better," manager Buck Showalter said of his club's six wins in the Bronx this season, which matched the Orioles' combined total from the previous three years. "[The Yankees have] been the measuring stick for a long time."
If Showalter's club keeps this up, that won't be the case for much longer. Winners of 19 of their last 27, the Orioles have outscored the Yankees 49-32 in New York this season, with Sunday's win improving them to 58-0 when leading after seven innings, while evening the season series with the Yankees at 7-7. The Orioles, who currently hold one of two Wild Card spots, are far from satisfied.
"We want to win the division," said right fielder Nick Markakis, who had three hits and two RBIs to raise his average to .343 since moving to the leadoff spot. "That's the ultimate goal. ... Everybody in the clubhouse is on the same page, same mentality. We're in the zone right now. That's where we want to stay, and we're going to take it day by day."
Reynolds singlehandedly ensured Sunday's win with a four-RBI afternoon that gave the club its 25th series win of the year. Down two, the 29-year-old Reynolds gave the O's their first lead with a towering three-run, sixth-inning homer -- his second of the game -- off Yankees starter Phil Hughes.
"I think it definitely took the life out of the stadium a little bit," Reynolds said of the 1-0 curveball Hughes hung that ended up in the left-field seats.
Reynolds also accounted for the Orioles' only run through five innings, belting a solo homer off Hughes to start the fifth, and the bats began to come alive with a pair of singles from Adam Jones and Matt Wieters, the latter scoring Nate McLouth for the first run of the sixth.
"He picked us up and put us on his back," Markakis said of Reynolds, who had a three-hit afternoon and continues to show signs of reemerging. "It was big for us. It was big for him."
Eight of Reynolds' 16 homers have come within the last month, with the first baseman hitting .320 (24-for-75) with 16 walks, 13 extra-base hits, 14 runs and 16 RBIs since Aug. 6. Sunday's multihomer game was Reynolds' second in three days, making him the first opposing player to have more than one multihomer game in a single series in New York since Boston's David Ortiz did it in 2003.
"We are playing with a lot of confidence, and we are just having fun," Reynolds said of an Orioles club predicted by many to finish in the AL East cellar. "You look at a lot of young guys in here, they don't even know they are in a playoff race, probably."
Yet here they are, winning games in every way imaginable.
Down a starter early, with Chris Tillman exiting after three innings due to right elbow stiffness, Randy Wolf stepped in and helped keep the bullpen from being overextended in an impressive 3 1/3-innings Baltimore debut.
"I've said it a few times already, I think we're the best team that nobody talks about," said Wolf, who became the 50th different player used by the Orioles this season. "There's a lot of teams that are in the playoff hunt that people are talking about, but this team just finds a way to win, and that's exciting.
"I've been part of teams that just find ways to win. The one thing I've noticed in the short time I've been here is this team has a lot of confidence in itself, and that's really fun to be around. A team that's confident and gets that taste of what it needs to win"
Wolf kept the game winnable, allowing only one run, on Nick Swisher's fifth-inning RBI single. He was anchored by some great defense, including an inning-ending double play in the sixth. In that frame, shortstop J.J. Hardy -- who committed a critical error in Saturday's loss -- made a diving stop and flip to second baseman Robert Andino, who fired an off-the-line throw that an outstretched Reynolds corralled and then kept his foot on the base long enough to nab Russell Martin.
Wolf held firm after that, handing the ball to ex-Yankee Luis Ayala one out into the seventh.
"I told you in Spring Training; we have a great bunch of players. There's no names, but there's men," said Ayala, who got an inning-ending double play to strand a pair of runners. "We've done the little things, scored enough runs to keep us in games. ... I think it's a great feeling. It's a great time to do some great things."
Lefty Brian Matusz and righty Darren O'Day collected the final five outs to put the finishing touches on the Orioles' 74th win of the season. With the Tampa Bay Rays' win over the Blue Jays, the top three teams in the AL East are separated by a mere 3 1/2 games, and the Orioles will now head to Toronto for a three-game series that starts Monday, while the Yankees will head south to play the Rays.
"September, it's a good time, especially when you are in it and have a chance to be in the postseason," said Reynolds, who got a taste of October with Arizona in 2007. "That's everyone's goal at the beginning of the year, and we are right there. We are right where we want to be."

For almost a dozen years, my family and I have been in Guruji's sharan
. As a cherished token of His 'Blessings Forever', we are humble possessors of a pair of His jootis (footwear). And how He has protected us! Here's just one instance:
I am a student of law at Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (I P University) and had gone to give an exam at Pashchim Vihar. As usual, I parked my car outside the gate of the examination centre, since visitor cars were not allowed in. Some forty cars were already parked there. Three full hours later, after finishing the exam, I went outside the centre to find that my car was the sole vehicle present. Where had all the other cars gone? Maybe my friends had left me and gone home. But no! Here was a friend waving at me, asking me to wait for him. He wanted a ride to the police station; his car had been towed away. At the police station, I saw the cars that had been towed from outside the centre. Mine had been saved from that fate. After all, I always have Guruji's photo inside the car and never think of driving out without it. I thanked Guruji anew.
My friend and I began negotiating with the police to get his vehicle back. One of the policemen addressed himself to me, asking me if a blue Hyundai I 10 was mine. It was, I told him. He followed with a most amazing account. My car had failed to budge under police ministration! First, it took them a quarter of an hour to hook up the car-and then they were unable to move it. The policeman said they would have picked up more cars had my vehicle not held them up for a frustrating 25 minutes.
I told them my proud secret: My Guruji sits inside the car: it is impossible to move it without His permission.

The PlayStation 5 isn't set to launch for another year, but many are ready to see what comes of the next generation in consoles. Of course, one of the biggest selling points is going to be launch titles for Xbox Project Scarlett, as well as the PlayStation 5. This was much more clear-cut last generation, as Sony was leading the way in the exclusive games department, but recent acquisitions by Xbox suggest that this may not always be the case.
Because of this, competition between Xbox Project Scarlett and the PlayStation 5 may be a bit tighter moving into the next console generation, so we've gathered all the rumored launch titles that may drop for the PlayStation 5 next year. Games that would logically and likely drop on both consoles, such as the next Assassin's Creed, has been left off this list, as they wouldn't contribute to an informed decision about which console to pick up.
Notably, there may also be games in development that simply won't be ready to launch alongside the PS5 but would likely come soon after. One example would be God of War. After earning several Game of the Year awards in 2018, a God of War sequel is practically guaranteed, but it is unlikely to launch until sometime after the PS5. Therefore, we have also left it off this list.
Gran Turismo 7
Xbox has Forza, and PlayStation has Gran Turismo. Both racing titles are rumored to be launch titles for their respective platforms, but interestingly enough, that's not where it stops for Gran Turismo 7. The PS5 is expected to have some VR component, which the same rumor indicates will somehow support the racing title. A recent patent also suggests that this VR component will be making the move from the bulky set-up acquainted with all VR headsets to a more streamlined and wireless approach.
Grand Theft Auto 6
This is an interesting one, as rumors concerning Grand Theft Auto 6 often rear their head. Everything from the game's setting and its protagonists to its Online mode and major changes has reportedly been leaked, with one of the many, many leaks also making the claim that Grand Theft Auto 6 was a timed PS5 exclusive. There is little reason to believe this leak, but stranger things have happened than a suspicious leak becoming true. If it proves to be so, this could be a major game-changer when the next-gen consoles launch, as droves of gamers would flock to the PS5. After all, Grand Theft Auto 5 has been going strong for years and is the most profitable entertainment product of all time.
Ghost of Tsushima
The last time anyone has seen Ghost of Tsushima was at E3 2018, adding to an aura of secrecy surrounding the title. Made by Infamous First Light developer Sucker Punch Productions, Ghost of Tsushima is an open-world game set in 1274 that revolves around the last samurai, Jin Sakai, who has to master a new fighting style — The Way of the Ghost — to defeat the Mongols and secure freedom for Japan. And according to most rumors, players will be doing this on the PlayStation 5. Considering it has been in development since 2015 yet still hasn't received a release date, these rumors may just prove to be true.
Horizon: Zero Dawn Sequel
Some rumors have indicated that this game would launch for the PlayStation 5, but at a later date. Others have indicated that Horizon: Zero Dawn 2 would be a launch title for the next-gen console. Currently, it's up in the air until Sony or developer Guerilla Games confirms information about the next-gen title. Looking at development time in this scenario doesn't help much. Horizon: Zero Dawn launched in early 2017, meaning that if they moved into development of a sequel almost immediately, it would have nearly three years of development time come holiday 2020. However, given the Frozen Wilds DLC came out near the end of 2017, this likely cut into development time. This may be enough in some circumstances, but it's still a tough call to make. Either way, it seems safe to say that another entry in the new IP is on the way, as the first game received "generally favorable" reviews and has taken on its own cult following.
The Last of Us 2
The Last of Us 2 has been a long-time coming, especially when considering how it launched on the PS3 in 2013 and the PS4 in 2014. Come holiday 2020, that would be 6 years since the PS4 release, so progress has surely been made since shooting of The Last of Us 2's final scene has already wrapped. Notably, if it were to become a PS5 exclusive launch title, this would push sales perhaps nearly as much as Grand Theft Auto 6, but its release date remains to be seen.
The PlayStation 5 is expected to launch in holiday 2020.

View Full Version : WTB:Dreamcast controller boards
05-25-2012, 07:38 AM
Reviving this thread due to a refreshed need for a
Dreamcast controller board or two among other things.
I would also like to buy a dreamcast power supply or two, not fussed about the region particularly
The top half of a dreamcast shell, as in the big plastic top half of the console's case
I also need the controller ports from a fat PS2 - for a scph-39003 (I don't know if the model has any bearing on the way the controller ports are made so if somebody could confirm that they are or are not that would be great:)
I would prefer to only pay UK shipping but I'm willing to negotiate.
PM or post here with offers :)
I could probably sort some out from systems with broken gdrom drives, you got anything for trade?.
05-25-2012, 01:47 PM
I'm terrible at suggesting things for trades haha is there anything you're particularly after?
Top of the want list is a pcb from a model 1 mega-cd but I am always after old consoles, cables, controllers, various parts etc. What you got?. :)
05-25-2012, 02:04 PM
None of this is particularly relevant anymore
08-13-2012, 08:48 AM
01-21-2013, 05:44 AM
01-21-2013, 02:22 PM
I've got a couple of controller boards if you're still after them
02-03-2013, 07:51 AM
Added some stuff which I need - not just dreamcast controller boards
I have a good controller board and power board from a revision 0 USA dreamcast (internals are like the 1998 jpn dreamcast with the metal fan/heatsinks). The entire console itself actually still works, but has some things wrong with it that mean I can't just sell it as a 100% working DC. Namely:
-GDrom drive spindle is partially broken and has to be treated a certain way to hold disc correctly
-top half of case had holes drilled into it for LEDs
-metal fan and heat sinks have been completely removed. Console has no fan, but didn't overheat when I played a game on it for an hour straight, perhaps due to extra holes drilled into the casing for increased airflow.
At any rate, I could trade you some parts from it for the ascii pad if you still have it. Shipping would be from the US.
Could you explain what you mean by a loose dpad? Also, is it the white one?
02-03-2013, 05:37 PM
I'm afraid I sold the ascii pad a long time ago, I've edited the post further up accordingly
From abroad I'd rather just pay money to be honest I've never had much luck with international postage anywhere before sorry.
if you're still interested, I'm particularly keen on the power supply
Also does the controller board have the same motherboard connector as a va1 system?
The controller board is green instead of brown like some of the others. It says "Katana sub bd" "(C) sega 1998" on it. The ribbon cable connecting to the motherboard looks like the same one used on later boards, although I haven't swapped it into a rev1 console to definitively test. It is definitely a different earlier revision than the majority of controller boards out there, but my guess would be it could be compatible with rev1. At any rate, it would probably be a suitable spare for circa 1998 jpn DCs.
02-03-2013, 06:30 PM
Oh I remember what was different! the fan connector is only two pins rather than three isn't it?
I might just leave that one for now if its alright with you? I am definitely interested in the power supply though, I managed to fry the power supply in my VA0 and am keen to replace it. I might be interested in the broken GD rom drive too but I am limited in the way of funds and this is starting to sound kinda heavy lol
That's fine. I think I'm going to try and sell the entire console on ebay. Piecing out just the power board would probably make it difficult to offload the remaining parts. I'm interested in getting the whole thing out of my house.

Designed with a loose-fitting silhouette that's cinched at the lower waist with elasticated shirring, this scarlet blouse is cut from a fluid satin-crepe that feels light and soft against your skin.

I recently got an email forwarded to me by my Uncle. It was a listing of all of the money our country spends on "illegal aliens" and their children. A couple of the "facts" the author wanted pounded across to the American public were info about the billions of $$ spent on illegal school children who "cannot speak a word of English!!" also, "nearly one million sex crimes were caused by illegal immigrants in the US"
I don't know why I was on the forward list for this hatred but it is sometimes a wake-up call to see into the dark underbelly that is focusing so much energy on the wrong people. We have had immigration laws in place in this country for many, many years. It has been beneficial for the rich to have workers come into the US to work in our feilds, clean our houses and basically support the backbone of our country so the rules were overlooked... but now the backlash is ...well... embarrassing. I had a shoot at a local organic farm, recently, and photographed some of the workers who were there well before I arrived at 5:45 AM. They did back breaking work picking beautiful crops and when I left around 10 they had hours of work ahead of them (in 106 degree heat). Maybe we can get some of the rich college students who are on summer break to help them out. Wanna volunteer your child?

The raw vs cooked food debate for dogs is something that goes back and fourth a lot.
Many people do swear by feeding their dogs raw food and as a canine dietician, I sometimes feel that owners aren't aware of all the facts. The blind faith given to raw food diets could land your dog in trouble.
I'm not against feeding dogs raw food and I don't want to deter anyone from doing so but it's important we know what's fact and what's fiction to be able to make the best dietary decisions for our dogs.
One of the reasons people do feed their dogs raw food is because they think dogs resemble wolves and this is what they would have eaten.
Although they're similar, this isn't strictly true. Dogs have developed a lot in terms of living environments, relationships and diets. They have been domesticated for 10.000 - 15.000 years, and they have been eating human leftovers for the vast majority of that time.
Saying a dog should eat what a wolf eats is like saying I should eat what a chimpanzee eats. You can't really compare the two.
Another problem that I do have with the raw food debate is that many people claim it's more natural for their dog. As a dog dietician, I know that natural isn't always best. For example, a dog having fleas are natural but I'm not sure many owners would think it's a good thing.
Ideas about raw food being better for your dogs in terms of weight, life span, and oral health have also never really been proved or disproved so it's hard to see what's fact or opinion.
My main concern with raw food however has to be the illnesses attached to it. Salmonella and E.Coli are just two of many bacteria found in raw foods. Although a lot of this debate is based on opinion, it is a fact that dogs can become ill from such bacteria.
Most do not become clinically diseased, but some do and could pose a threat to other animals, including their own puppies or humans. Some raw pet food manufacturers have started using high-pressure pasteurisation (HPP) to destroy bad bacteria. However, HPP also destroys all the friendly bacteria that prevent bad bacteria from multiplying.
"Once these friendly bacteria are destroyed during HPP, there is nothing to keep the bad bacteria from growing out of control if the raw food is re-contaminated during manufacturing or customer handling."
As I wrote in the beginning, I'm not against feeding dogs raw food, nor do I want to frighten people away from them but the raw versus cooked food debate needs to move away from emotional arguments and become based on facts. If we neglect science the only loser will be the dog.

The new full-length album by Deadzone, Wandering the Abyss, deserves to be a movie soundtrack. It's an emotional experience from each song to the next, covering a vast landscape of electronic genres such as dubstep, chillout, future garage and ambient.
Inspired by cyberpunk and sci-fi culture, Deadzone pushes the boundaries of electronic music production to mesh with orchestral cues and unearthly soundscapes that will transform you into the lead character of a high-octane action film. Wandering the Abyss is a without a doubt an appropriate name for such a journey.
With fourteen total tracks of action and emotion, Wandering the Abyss is a massive body of work, comprising eleven Deadzone originals featuring collaborations with Cult, XTALS, and Sibewest, as well as three additional remixes by Asteroid Afterparty, Cult, and Coro. Set aside some time to do something epic and play this album from start to finish.
Nick Hutchison A.K.A. Deadzone is a DJ and producer from Raleigh, North Carolina whose release history is rife with experiential and cinematic sounds. His recent work is inspired by old school dubstep producers such as Chrispy and Cyberoptics, and cinematic electronic artists such as Siren, Captain Panic!, and Varien.
