Since 2004, air travellers have various passenger rights under EU Regulation EC 261 in case of disruptions to their flight. In a 6 part series, I will cover the aspects of this regulation and also give tips on how to claim compensation from an airline.
EC 261 Regulation; Passenger Rights and Compensation (this article)
Rights in the event of cancellation (upcoming)
Passenger rights in the event of delay (upcoming)
Rights in the event of denied boarding or downgrade (upcoming)
Claiming compensation (upcoming)
EC 261 : Remarks (upcoming)
Purpose of EC 261/2004
EU Regulation 261 was introduced to offer travellers on commercial flights better protection and to secure consumer rights. The regulation covers passenger rights for assistance and compensation in the event of flight disruptions such as delay, cancellation, downgrade or denied boarding. The regulation has been in effect since February 17, 2006.
EC 261 applies to flights:
- To or from an EU member state in case the flight is operated by an EU based carrier (eg. BA, Lufthansa etc)
- From a member state in case the flight is operated by a non EU carrier (eg. American Airlines, Singapore Airlines etc).
A member state implies: a country which is a member of the European Union; Iceland, Norway or Switzerland. A community carrier is an airline which is based in a member state.
For instance, if you are travelling with British Airways from London to Dubai and back, you are covered by the regulation on both legs. If you were travelling on Emirates, you are only covered on the LHR-DXB flight.
It is applicable to passengers who:
- Are in possession of a valid and confirmed reservation for a flight.
- Have presented themselves on time at the airport (desk) for the flight.
‘On time’ is defined as the time which the airline or tour operator has stated. If no time is stated, it shall be at least 45 minutes before departure.
It is not applicable on (free or discounted) tickets that are not available to the public, like staff and industry tickets. The regulation is applicable on tickets booked with frequent flyer Miles or Points from a commercial (loyalty) program.
EC 261 is also applicable on charter flights and flights which are part of a package tour, unless the package tour is cancelled for different reasons than the cancellation of the flight.
The regulation is applicable to the airline operating the flight, irrespective of whether you booked the flight through another airline or under a codeshare with different flight number. The operating carrier is also responsible for the handling and payment of possible compensation.
For instance, if you are flying with American Airlines from New York to London on a flight booked through British Airways and with a BA flight number, you are not covered under the regulation in case of disruption as American Airlines is the operating carrier.
The regulation does not apply to ‘5th freedom’ flights entirely outside member states.
For instance, if you are flying with KLM only from Singapore to Denpasar, you have no rights under this regulation.
EC 261 is also not applicable on flights from a transfer point outside of a member state to another non-member state.
For instance, you have a ticket for London-Doha-Bangkok with Qatar Airways. If you arrive on time in Doha but your onward flight to Bangkok is delayed, you are not covered. However if you miss a connecting flight due to a delay on a flight which originated in a member state, the regulation may apply.
Attribution of compensation under this regulation does not exempt airlines from civil claims. You may choose to go to court and sue for breach of contract (except if you have voluntarily taken a different flight). If compensation has already been rewarded, that amount may be deducted.
It is also worth pointing out that EC 261 applies just as much to low cost carriers like Ryanair and Easyjet as it does to traditional carriers like BA.
Obligation to inform passengers
Airlines are required to inform passengers about their passenger rights. If there is a cancellation, delay exceeding two hours or denied boarding, the airline must inform the passengers in writing about their rights on compensation and assistance, and where they may file a complaint if they wish to do so.
Assistance and care
In the case of a denied boarding, cancellation or a delay of
- two hours or more for flights of 1500km or less
- three hours or more on intra-EU routes of more than 1500km, or for any other routes between 1500km and 3500km;
- 4 hours or more for any other eligible flights
passengers are entitled to ‘assistance and care’. Article 9 stipulates what exactly is included:
1. Where reference is made to this Article, passengers shall be offered free of charge:
(a) meals and refreshments in a reasonable relation to the waiting time;
(b) hotel accommodation in cases
– where a stay of one or more nights becomes necessary, or
– where a stay additional to that intended by the passenger becomes necessary;
(c) transport between the airport and place of accommodation (hotel or other).
2. In addition, passengers shall be offered free of charge two telephone calls, telex or fax messages, or e-mails.
3. In applying this Article, the operating air carrier shall pay particular attention to the needs of persons with reduced mobility and any persons accompanying them, as well as to the needs of unaccompanied children.
Force majeure and technical defects
In events beyond the control of the airline, the carrier is not required to pay compensation. Force majeure includes, among other things: bad weather conditions, natural disasters (for instance a volcanic eruption), strike of air traffic control or airport personnel, sabotage, political instability or terror attacks.
Technical or mechanical defects explicitly do not constitute force majeure. The European Court of Justice has ruled that ‘defects or failures are inherent to the operation and activities of running an airline’ (even if these errors/defects are not caused by insufficient maintenance or discovered during regular inspections) and therefore do not preclude the carrier from paying compensation. Even a bird strike does not constitute force majeure.
Regardless of the reason for the delay, cancellation or denied boarding, the airline is always obliged to offer the assistance and care as described above. Force majeure only applies to the attribution of compensation.
In case of denied boarding, a refusal on the grounds of safety, security, health or lack of (sufficient) travel documents does not fall within the provisions of this regulation.
All articles of this regulation can be consulted on the website of the European Union.
In the rest of this series, I will explain in more depth the rights in the specific situations covered under this regulation.

The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act did not get the 60 votes needed to end debate and proceed to a vote in the U.S. Senate this week. The pro-life bill that would ban abortions after 20-weeks is based on research that shows unborn babies are capable of feeling pain at that point in their development.
The cloture vote was defeated 54-42. Three Democrats joined with Republicans to support the pro-life bill, including Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Joe Donnelly of Indiana. Two Republicans, Susan Collins of Maine and Mark Kirk of Illinois — voted against it.
Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey, a Republican, also voted in support of banning these late-term abortions.
The conviction in 2013 of Philadelphia’s Dr. Kermit Gosnell for crimes committed while providing abortions has led many Americans to realize that our permissive laws and attitudes have allowed the abortion industry to undertake these procedures. People are repulsed by the callous and barbarous treatment of women and children in Gosnell’s clinic, and in other clinics that abort children after 20 weeks.
These procedures also pose serious dangers to women, as evidenced by Gosnell’s own manslaughter conviction for one woman’s death, and news about the death or serious complications of other women undergoing such procedures.
This week’s Senate vote is an unfortunate defeat for women and babies.

Triple antiviral combination stops H1N1 flu in lab tests
Researchers have found that a combination of three antiviral drugs stops H1N1 flu from replicating, found in lab studies. The combination of three widely available antiviral drugs worked better to stop H1N1 flu than any single or double combination of antiviral drugs in the study.
Mark Prichard, Ph.D who serves on the board of directors of the International Society for Antiviral Research found that oseltamivir (Tamiflu), amantadine (Symmetrel) and ribavirin used together stopped H1N1 flu growth in the lab.
"These findings suggest strongly that the triple combo is highly synergistic against virus replication, meaning it strikes multiple targets within H1N1 flu and other strains," Prichard says. "Only human testing will determine for sure, but this combo has the potential to be the antiviral therapy of choice for serious flu infection and to address Tamiflu resistance".
The triple antiviral combination not only halted H1N1 flu, but was also effective for stopping Avian flu and seasonal flu. The researchers are seeking approval to begin testing in humans.
Prichard says because flu last for a short period of time, using a triple antiviral drug approach for treatment can prevent flu strains from developing resistance. "That's why this research is so timely, and why antiviral safety and testing data is crucial". The researchers, from University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB) Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases says they would be "thrilled" if the triple antiviral combination turns out to reduce the impact of severe H1N1 flu. The findings from lab studies shows that use of the three readily available antiviral drugs can stop H1N1 flu virus growth, as well as Avian and seasonal flu.

Lady and Tramp's mischievous pup, Scamp, gets fed up with rules and restrictions imposed on him by life in a family, and longs for a wild and free lifestyle. He runs away from home and into the streets where he joins a pack of stray dogs known as the "Junkyard Dogs." Buster, the pack's leader, takes an instant disliking to the "house-dog" and considers him a rival. Angel, a junkyard pup Scamp's age, longs for the safety and comfort of life in a family and the two become instant companions. Will Scamp choose the wild and free life of a stray or the unconditional love of his family? Written by
In the beginning while Scamp is singing about freedom, the lighting changes throughout the song. It starts and ends during the night but changes to mid day at various times throughout. See more »
What difference does it make? All families are alike. They make you take baths, and - and sleep in a bed, and you have to eat everything in your bowl and when it rains, you have to come indoors! Gah, let's just say you're lucky you've never had to live with a family.
Wrong again, Tenderfoot.
You mean, you had a family?
Actually, I've had five familes.

These Disney sequels all have one thing in common, they do not reach up to the high quality as the original did. This is not an exception, the plot is kinda rushed.
But there is great animation, very colorful. And of course, Scamp and Angel are very, very sweet and adorable. I think they make a cuter couple than Lady and the Tramp. The scene where they eat spaghetti and meat balls, is not nearly as well done as the previous one. "Bella Notte" is an excellent song, but I still think Scamp and Angel are more adorable than Lady/Tramp.
I think the chemistry between the two of them is what makes this movie worth watching, it should have been more of them together. Scamp is an innocent, lovely pup with an irresistible face, and Angel is the same, only even more lovely. She has those sparkling, inciting eyes. And when they fall for each other, it only gets sweeter.
This movie is definitely worth watching for those who like Disney romance, the plot is not something worth applauding for.

A June 22 press release from the Kansas Association of School Boards (KASB) claims school leaders discussed the importance of getting factual information to the public during its 4-week advocacy entitlement tour. Without providing specifics, the release says, “Board members expressed concerns about what they said are misleading advertisements and statements from some organizations….”
That accusation is pretty rich considering the degree to which education officials routinely and consciously mislead the public. Predictably, the document distributed on their tour (and unpubished as of this writing) is loaded with inaccurate and misleading claims.
For example, the KASB document allegedly provided a breakout of school employees by function. Curiously, though, the Department of Education employment reports list 1,365 more fulltime equivalent employees than does the KASB document. In fact, an entire category of administration employees – Central Services – is conspicuously missing from the KASB document.
KASB provides a schedule purporting to show the local economic impact of school spending, but every dollar of education spending is first extracted from the economy in taxation and fees. Implying that school spending has a positive economic impact shows KASB either failed Econ 101 or it is being deceptive.
Deeper in the document, KASB implies legislators artificially increased state aid when they “…chose to make the 20 mill statewide property tax a state revenue.” The truth is that in 2014, legislators discovered that the 20 mill state property tax for schools wasn’t being reported as state revenue by the Department of Education, and action was taken to ensure accurate reporting thereafter.
Their entitlement mentality is on full display in the KASB document with a comparison of school funding and personal income. School district officials think they are entitled to a share of your income and it doesn’t matter whether you really have the income. Personal Income reported by the Bureau of Economic Analysis counts some things as income that never show up in a paycheck, like the employer’s payments for health insurance and retirement. Government transfer receipts are also counted in Personal Income and some of that ‘income’ cannot be handed over to schools, such as medical benefits and corporate gifts to nonprofits. The portion that is technically taxable doesn’t represent money laying around for schools to grab (veterans benefits, unemployment benefits and social security benefits).
Schools claim their funding hasn’t kept up with personal income but guess what? School spending has outpaced growth in wages, salaries, proprietors’ income, dividends, interest and rent – the elements of personal income that are available to be taxed. As shown below, school spending increased 194 percent since 1990 while those elements of personal income grew by 189 percent.
And let’s not forget that tax increases have seriously reduced Kansans’ disposable income. The state sales tax rate was 4.25 percent in 1990, and the increase to the current level of 6.5 percent more than made up for the slight reduction in individual income tax rates. And most city and county property tax mill levies have dramatically increased since 1990.
School lobbyists’ demand for a ‘taste’ of every extra dollar theoretically earned by citizens is particularly offensive. The point of school funding is not to let unions, school officials and taxpayer-funded KASB ‘wet their beaks’ but to educate students.
KASB claims Kansas public schools have the 10th highest student achievement in the nation, but that’s not true. Rankings on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) range from the mid-teens to the low 30s. Even the best ranking on NAEP – 4th Grade Reading for Low Income students – is deceptive, as just 24 percent of those students are proficient.
National rankings on ACT scores are also disappointing. Hispanic students ranked #19 but only 14 percent of them were considered college-ready in English, Reading, Math and Science. White students ranked #24 with 35 percent considered college-ready and just 6 percent of African American students were college-ready with their score ranking #25.
So how does KASB account for claiming Kansas to be #10 overall? They brew their own formula! They include factors that don’t measure actual learning (graduation rates), they count some achievement levels twice and they use ACT and SAT scores in ways advantageous to states like Kansas with lower minority levels. Then they apply undisclosed weighting factors (and maybe some eye of newt for good measure) and a #10 ranking magically rises from the cauldron.
And miraculously, states ranked #1 to #9 each happen to spend more money than Kansas…because, you know, spending more money is the cause of all things wonderous.
Except that’s not true, either.
2015 is the most recent year for which NAEP achievement and per-pupil spending data is available. Nine states had higher composite scores and spent less than Kansas. A few of those states (Washington, Virginia and Montanna) spent just a few hundred dollars per-student less than Kansas but the others spent dramatically less. Kansas spent $12,744 per-pupil that year but North Carolina had better outcomes while spending just $8,986 and Florida only spent $9,962. Oregon spent 7 percent less than Kansas, and Indiana, Kentucky and Texas spent about 15 percent less while getting better results.
Another five states had very similar scores while spending a lot less than Kansas, including Utah at $8,079 and Idaho at $7,688 per-pupil.
The 8-score composite tallies individual scores for Reading and Math in 4th Grade and 8th Grade for low income students and those who aren’t low income.
Kansans certainly deserve factual information about student achievement and school spending, but they cannot count on getting the truth from local school boards and KASB lobbyists.

Continuity of parks cortazar. Julio Cortazar: Short Stories “Continuity of Parks” Summary and Analysis 2022-10-22
Continuity of parks cortazar Rating:
Continuity of Parks by Julio Cortázar is a short story that explores the concept of time and how it can be manipulated and experienced in different ways. The story follows the character Horacio Oliveira as he wanders through a park and becomes immersed in a surreal world where time seems to stand still.
At the beginning of the story, Oliveira is sitting on a bench in the park, observing the people around him and feeling a sense of detachment from the world. He begins to notice strange occurrences, such as a man who has been sitting in the same position for hours, and a woman who is constantly repeating the same action. These events disrupt Oliveira's sense of time and make him feel as if he is trapped in an endless loop.
As he continues to explore the park, Oliveira becomes more and more immersed in this surreal world. He meets a group of young people who are playing a game in which they try to evade a "pursuer" and are able to manipulate time in order to escape. This game further blurs the lines between reality and the surreal for Oliveira and he becomes more and more disconnected from the outside world.
The story ultimately suggests that time is a fluid and subjective concept that can be manipulated and experienced in different ways. Oliveira's experiences in the park demonstrate that time can seem to stand still or move in a cyclical manner, depending on one's perspective and state of mind. The story also touches upon the idea that we are all trapped in our own perception of time and that it is up to us to break free from this limited view of the world.
In conclusion, Continuity of Parks by Julio Cortázar is a thought-provoking and imaginative exploration of the concept of time and how it can be experienced in different ways. Through its surreal and dreamlike setting, the story encourages readers to consider the subjectivity of time and the ways in which we can break free from our limited perspective.
Continuity of Parks: Full Book Summary
He feels completely absorbed in the novel, which describes an encounter in a mountain cabin between two lovers. It is as though the estate owner no longer wishes to have to deal with the responsibility of running the estate. The Players Ben Hosley - David Sims - Griffin Newman - Marie Bardi - This is a bit different than merely naming our favorite authors or books as I think mine would be either in film able or could never live up to the source material unless it was changed so much that it only resembled the source material Arrival is a great one, based on the work of probably the best short story writer when it comes to science fiction. He relinquishes his agency and allows stimuli to wash over him. Once he settles into his study, after making all of the necessary phone calls, the estate owner returns to his book. The use of magical realism aids the reader develop deeper understandings of the subjects in the work.
Give it to Patrick Somerville. Dune the book is split into 3 parts, Messiah is the 4th part and maybe the best one. They are passionate, archetypal lovers at a crossroads. For fans of the Blank Check Podcast, with Griffin Newman, David Sims, and Ben Hosley. Brandon Sanderson keeps hinting that something big is in the works, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's a movie or TV series, so we'll see. I've bounced back and forth on this but I think what I really want is for House of Leaves to inspire some kind of unpredictable formal experiment in what a feature film can be by an auteur who's cashing a blank check more than I'd like the actual book to be adapted. As the reader lets himself fall into the novel, his green velvet chair acts as an anchor tying him to reality.
What Book would you like to see adapted? : blankies
Though unnamed, the color green is implied with each mention of the trees and the outdoors, elements that again suggest a simultaneous existence in two worlds. Armed with the dagger, the man goes inside the house, all according to plan and sees his victim: a man sitting in a green velvet armchair reading a novel. They leave the cabin and split up. The first paragraph presents the frame story of the man reading and the embedded story of the lovers meeting in a cabin in the woods. My pick is Cat's Cradle. The Bhopal Chemical Disaster was a horrible incident and was hopefully a learning experience for the world. I disagree with this.
Cortázar attended the University of Buenos Aires and then worked as a teacher in small-town high schools. It was poorly reviewed. He also argued that nowadays parks are preserved. Czikra Southern New Hampshire University The Roman Empire was ruled by various leaders. The wound on his face from a branch and his rejection of the woman's caresses suggests his impatience and tension. Though as to whether the estate manager and the wife live in harmony is difficult to say as Cortázar ends the story before providing the reader with the required information.
Inject The Hyperion Cantos into my veins only direct please. Because the story does not offer up answers to the above questions and instead teases the reader with its paradox, we are forced to take an active participation in the story presented to us. Something that becomes clearer to the reader when the owner of the estate intends to share ownership of his estate with the estate manager. He carries a dagger and has been given information about the layout of house, the absence of dogs and estate manager, and the location of his victim. He sinks into the novel, in which a man and woman meet in a cabin.
A Summary and Analysis of Julio Cortazar’s ‘Continuity of Parks’
Buy Study Guide Summary "Continuity of Parks" begins by describing a wealthy landowner returning to his estate by train after "some urgent business conferences" 63 and reading a novel which he'd begun to read before his business called him away from his estate. World History — 8th period Triangular trade and Erie Canal also started during this period creating a bigger market to produce. If anything the owner of the estate may be living his life vicariously though at the same time not knowing it. He makes his way towards a large house and surrounding estate, and then he sneaks inside the house, the guard dogs failing to bark to warn of his intrusion and the estate manager having gone home. It is also interesting that Cortázar blurs the lines between fact and fiction.
Analysis of “The Continuity of Parks” by Julio Cortazár: Summary & Themes
He composed poetry when he was a boy and wrote his first novel when he was only age nine, a novel that was so accomplished that many in his family wondered if it was plagiarized. The woman who kisses the man who kills the owner of the estate is most likely the wife of the owner of the estate. . The first is the author and reader of "The Continuity of Parks", the second is the frame story of a man of business reading a novel, and the third is the embedded story about the two lovers. She is apprehensive, caught in a "sordid dilemma," and is meeting for the last time in the cabin to finalize plans and alibis before heading north. He remembered effortlessly the names and his mental image of the characters; the novel spread its glamour over him almost at once. They review their alibis and eliminate possible errors.
If you extract the story without the language, you are left with dust and bones but no beating heart. Cortázar also manages a smooth transition from fiction to fact which would again place an emphasis on the closeness of fiction and fact. Cortázar opposed the rule of General Perón and therefore moved to France in 1951. And though their short scene in the woods may seem literarily recognizable and perhaps even cliché, their urgency and propensity for action dominates the narrative and acts as yet another force usurping the "real" estate owner. He tasted the almost perverse pleasure of disengaging himself line by line from the things around him, and at the. He was buried in a tomb with his wife, Carol, in the cemetery at Montparnasse. It is as though he finds the material in the novel more interesting than his own life.

In his first column for SA Rugby magazine, former Springbok captain JEAN DE VILLIERS highlights how South African rugby can take a lesson from the Crusaders’ hugely successful structures.
The Crusaders won the Vodacom Super Rugby tournament in 2017 and 2018, and having dominated the conference phase of this year’s competition, they are favourites to claim a third successive title.
How do they do it? I’ve asked myself this question regularly over the past three seasons.
It’s hard to believe this franchise went nine years without a trophy between 2009 and 2016. Some great All Blacks featured for the Crusaders during that period – Richie McCaw and Dan Carter chief among them – but for some reason the side was unable to go all the way.
Players from this franchise dominated the All Blacks squad at the 2011 and 2015 World Cups. Much has changed over the past three seasons, though. While the Crusaders still boast some world-class players such as Kieran Read and Sam Whitelock, only five or so look set to feature at the next global tournament in Japan. How is the current Crusaders team succeeding, then, where the star-studded side of the past era failed?
I caught up with Crusaders assistant coach Ronan O’Gara when the team was in Cape Town to play the Stormers in May. I asked him how a team with relatively few All Blacks squad regulars has managed to set a high standard over the past three years. O’Gara – who I played alongside at Munster – credited the thriving culture at the franchise and the man at the helm, Scott Robertson.
Perhaps a few people underestimated Robertson when he got the head coach job in 2017. He’s not your typical coach in terms of demeanour and approach. He does things differently, as seen by his breakdancing celebrations in the wake of each title triumph.
Robertson has encouraged the coaches and players to express themselves. The Crusaders have become a bit like Saracens in the sense that their culture underscores everything they do. The support for the players off the pitch shapes the performances of the team on every game day.
O’Gara worked with Racing 92 in France before joining the Crusaders coaching staff last year. He too has benefited from working with a head coach who encourages his assistants to find solutions and stay at the cutting edge of the game.
Neil Powell is another example of a coach who has reaped the rewards of a strong team culture. The Springbok Sevens squad is like a family. We’ve seen the players fighting for each other and claiming some big wins – even on the occasions when their star performers have been missing.
Every team has to deal with injury setbacks. The Crusaders have had more than their fair share this season. They’ve also had to comply with New Zealand Rugby’s policy of resting All Blacks at certain stages of the tournament – given it is a World Cup year. What we’ve seen, however, is the fringe players slotting straight into the Crusaders team and making an immediate impact.
That’s the kind of environment every franchise and club should aspire to. Those youngsters and fringe players are the future of the Crusaders, and by all accounts that future looks bright.
Again, the credit needs to go to the coaches as well as the support structures at the club. Everybody is pulling in the same direction. The chances of success are improved, of course, when you have a system in New Zealand that encourages the mentoring of up-and-coming coaches.
There’s a lesson to be taken from the Crusaders’ success behind the scenes. South Africans are quick to judge a local coach when he doesn’t get results. What needs to be asked, however, is whether that coach is getting all the support he needs to build a thriving culture and ultimately a team that can win trophies.
The two, as we’ve seen with teams like the Crusaders, Saracens and the Blitzboks, go hand-in-hand.

What’s in the Box:
Extend Warranty Protection and Earn Rewards. Click HERE for Registration
QUESTIONS & ANSWERSAsk a Question
does it have AM mode?
There is no AM mode
Why does the Bluetooth turn off after a couple of minutes inactivity? In between songs the Bluetooth light goes off and I lose connection. I constantly have to go push the knob to reconnect the Bluetooth.
Nothing was mentioned about an auto disconnect on Bluetooth. Please check you warranty option
Can I bridge this amp into one output channel?
This amp does not have an option to be bridged
Hello, I am looking for a small amplifier, hopefully costing less than $100. I have Bose Accustimass 5 Series II speakers, rated 10-200W/channel, rated 4-8 OHMS. I simply want to connect my desk computer to these speakers. I don't need Blue Tooth capability because I don't even know what it is. Yes, that's right, I can barely use my phone either... (sad but true). Which models would you suggest for me to consider purchasing? Thank you.
PDA46BT is good for the set up you need
I want to know the impedance can support for speaker, for example 4,I or 16 ohms?
4 to 8 ohms
1) does Pyle PDA46BT save remote settings for volume upon powering down? 2) can you increase master volume higher than what is originally set with the knob by using remote volume up?
Settings should be saved when powered off and volume is controlled by the remote
I am hearing a buzz from the unit over the speakers when no music is playing (like others have reported). This sound is present even when the unit is in standby (off) mode. Unplugging the speakers causes the buzz to stop. Is there a fix for this?
there should not be a buzz coming out of the speaker. Please check your warranty option
Instead of using a phone or tablet as bluetooth connected inputs. Can the you connect a wireless headset to this and use the bluetooth as output?
The Bluetooth is only to receive and not to transmit. It will not work on headphones
Are there (any) UniversalRemote Codes for this Pyle?
there are no codes available
What is the PowerConsumption (not PowerOutput) in Watts ???
the power consumption is not available on our documentation
Output power is RMS or PMPO ?, What is the consumption of the equipment?
Power Output: 100 Watt MAX
Is there any way to balance left and right channels? There is more volume out of the right than the left.
There is no balance control
Yesterday I received the PDA46BT amplifier and hooked it up to both my passive speakers and my PC through USB. The amplifier makes an annoying buzz when sound plays through it, with peeks at 680Hz, 1340Hz and 1880Hz aproximately. This buzz doesn't change volume with the input, so with low audio volume it's perfectly audible. How can I fix it?
Can you try the AUX input
I bought Logitech z337 along with PDA46BT was going to use to power speakers but speakers work on there own but I don't have a remote for the speakers anyway to hook together so I can use the remote
The Logitech is an active speaker. It is not possible to combine with the PDA46BT

Title: Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Impeached by House of Representatives
In a historic turn of events, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has become the first Cabinet secretary to be impeached in almost 150 years. The House of Representatives voted narrowly on Wednesday to impeach Mayorkas following an unsuccessful attempt by House Republicans last week. This move highlights the ongoing debate over the Biden administration’s handling of the southern border.
House Republicans assert that Mayorkas has committed high crimes and misdemeanors in his management of the southern border. However, constitutional experts argue that the evidence presented does not meet the required standard. Despite the controversy, the impeachment vote passed with a final tally of 214 to 213. Notably, three Republicans broke ranks and voted with the Democrats against the measure.
The Department of Homeland Security criticized House Republicans, accusing them of “trampling on the Constitution” for political gain. This condemnation raises concerns about their ability to govern and maintain control of the House. The initial defeat of the impeachment effort and subsequent finger-pointing among Republican lawmakers have further strained their credibility.
White House spokesman Ian Sams labeled the impeachment vote as a “baseless, unconstitutional impeachment stunt,” emphasizing that there is bipartisan agreement that it should fail. Consequently, while Mayorkas has been impeached in the House, it is unlikely that he will face charges in the Democratic-controlled Senate, limiting the impact of the impeachment on his position.
Mayorkas has staunchly defended his record in public service and called upon Congress to seek a legislative solution for the nation’s broken immigration system. Democrats on the Homeland Security Committee have condemned the Republican impeachment effort as a “sham,” arguing that it sidestepped the usual impeachment process.
Interestingly, Mayorkas was invited to testify at an impeachment hearing but declined due to a prior commitment to meet with Mexican Cabinet members. This decision further heightened tensions surrounding the impeachment proceedings.
As this impeachment shakes the administration and highlights deep divisions within Congress, much remains uncertain about the future of Mayorkas’ tenure and the ongoing debate over border security policies. With public attention drawn to this contentious issue, it is crucial for lawmakers to work towards comprehensive immigration reform that addresses the concerns of all stakeholders.

The head of a supporter’s group for Liverpool FC Women is optimistic for the future after a positive year for the team and its supporter base. Jo Goodall, the Chair and Founder of Liverpool Women Supporters Club (LWSC), was speaking after the team’s FA Women’s Championship trophy was paraded around Anfield last month.
“It was a really proud moment seeing the team get to parade the trophy at Anfield.
They have worked hard all season and they really deserved that moment to show off their achievement with lots of Liverpool fans, and on TV too!”Jo Goodall
This occurred during half-time of the men’s Premier League game with Tottenham Hotspur on 4th May. Since then, 500,000 people took the streets of Liverpool on 28 May to celebrate the combined three trophies won by the men’s and women’s teams this season.
The decision of the club to include Matt Beard’s side in the celebrations was another example of the Women’s team becoming increasingly integrated into the club.
Liverpool Women won consecutive Women’s Super League titles in 2013 and 2014, but five years later were relegated from the division. An exodus of their best players, combined with just 10 full-time employees listed on the books in 2020, pointed to a horribly mis-managed team.
Since then, however, Goodall has been pleased with the efforts put in by the higher ups to rectify this.
“The club are already doing better with a lot of issues that women’s football has faced in the past,” she claims.
We have started to see more of the players involved in marketing and publicity for new kits and sponsor videos.
Matches are being advertised on LFC’s social media and announced at men’s games.”Jo Goodall
Furthermore, possible locations for a new training base are being considered. Currently, Liverpool Women train at The Campus training ground, sharing with Tranmere Rovers. For Goodall, bespoke facilities will be a “huge step forward for both the club and women’s football.”
The decision to reappoint Beard, who managed those title winning squads, has arguably been the best decision of all.
“Bringing Beardy back this season was a great move by the Club.
He has brought in some brilliant players who have not only helped us to win the league, but will also be a great addition once we re-join the Women’s Super League.”Jo Goodall
This progress is also reflected in the supporters club itself, which became a huge presence at home and away fixtures last season. More exciting events are in the pipeline, according to Goodall.
“Over the summer, a beach day picnic will be arranged for fans to meet up,” she explains. ‘Meet and greet’ dinner events, between fans and ex-players, are also on the cards.
The last decade has been hugely difficult for Liverpool Women. However, Goodall and the fellow members of LWSC will be hoping that Liverpool Women will continue on their upward trajectory, on and off the pitch.

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness or shortsightedness, is the eye condition in which objects nearby or a short distance away are clear but objects that are far away are blurred. Caused by the gradual elongation of the eyeball, myopia affects more than a billion people around the world, including 42% of people aged 12-54 in the United States. Myopia is an issue that can hinder your child’s learning and set them back from an early age. Higher levels of myopia can also lead to increased risks of serious, sight-threatening eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal detachments.
Myopia Control describes methods used to slow the progression of myopia. At The Myopia Institute, we provide references on the methods backed by scientific research as well as a directory of doctors who specialize in myopia control and are trained to administer these treatments to children at an early age in order to proactively slow down or stop progression of myopia. Myopia Control researchers attempt to discover proactive means of treatment, including yearly eye exams starting at as young as five years old. The earlier the problem is identified and treatment initiated the better the long term results are likely to be.
Types of Myopia Control
There are three widely accepted types of myopia control treatments: Orthokeratology (OrthoK aka CRT), Distance-Center Multifocal Contact Lenses and Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops. We use methods based on patient age, prescription and need, sometimes combining methods for maximum impact.
Orthokeratology, also known as OrthoK or CRT is a method where medical devices similar to contact lenses are applied to the eye while asleep. The gentle pressure exerted on the cornea, or surface of the eye overnight results in the temporary “molding” of the outer layers, providing “lens like” effects for the user. The effects last all day, providing vision for users without wearing glasses or contact lenses during their waking hours. The effects are dramatic and free people from issues with glasses or regular contact lenses for sports, swimming and performing the activities they love to perform. Orthokeratology has many peer-reviewed, randomized and some longitudinal studies that show it is an effective method to reduce the progression of myopia and, in many cases, halt it altogether.
Distance Center Multifocal Soft Contact Lenses
Distance Center Multifocal Soft Contact Lenses are worn precisely the same as regular soft contact lenses. An optical “trick” in the center of the lens has been shown in several studies to slow down the progression of myopia. This method is rapidly gaining in popularity. Currently there are three brands of these lenses. We can help determine which will be best for you.
Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops has been found in several studies to reduce the progression of myopia. Applied once a day, atropine treatment is continued as long as myopia progression continues. It is not a cure, but it has shown to control myopia in many patients and in some cases may be used in conjunction with either OrthoK Contacts or Multifocal Soft Contacts to enhance the myopia control effect. Pirenzepine is an analog of Atropine that has been shown effective but is not currently on the market. Dopamine has also been studied but use has been impractical.

EVGA X58 SLI Review Comment Thread
Please don't hesitate to post any comments, thoughts, concerns, or questions here in this thread. I have this setup crunching WCG/FAH with a single GTX 280 by day and benching under LN2 and all kinds of configurations by night. Just ask what you want to see and I will do my best to accomodate.
I will be using this thread as a sort of 'blog of results' with this board as I continue to benchmark with it so don't forget to check in once in a while. Here is one benchmark result that just missed the deadline for posting in the review...
click for full size screen shot...
Futuremark ORB Link
I finally managed 30K 06, and with only two cards...its a shame Vantage drops the score so much otherwise three cards would be quite impressive at these clocks.
Hmm... I might have to return my TRUE, since I got this board, and it doesn't seem like it'll fit. I'll be putting it 90 degrees different from what you have, since I have the MM H2GO and that orientation would be best. :doh:
But can you confirm if it'll fit or not? Thanks.
oh shoot...where did that section go?!?! i did a very exhaustive section on hardware installation and focused on the TRUE installation in both orientations. looks like we need a quick edit as the whole section missed the boat. well, here are a couple highlights with what i think is your desired oreintation...
i am terribly sorry about that buddy, we goofed up. Michael won't be up until the morning so the review won't be updated until then so wait for the whole section to come up with my comments but i hope the photos tide you over until then.
Ahh, thanks for the pictures. I was a little worried there when I saw the other orientation and it didn't seem like there was enough room. Anyways, excellent review, other than the fact that that was left out.. :thumb:
no problem and sorry again for the mistake...looks like it was all my fault :biggrin:
the above orientation fits fine but it is snug up against the PWM heat sink. you just have to make sure all the fins are sitting as far down as they go and take a bit of care during installation of the fan and housing. in the photos you can see it puts the slightest bit of pressure on the top fin of the PWM heat sink.
Now that was an interesting read, thank you. I'm thinking of upgrading in late spring and would automatically have gone for another Asus but your review just might sway my thinking, if they can get the bios fully stable mmm...
Have you ever checked what that beast could do for SMP Folding ??. Don't forget to add a link to the comment thread from the end of the review...
Excellent review. Actually read it an hour or two ago, looks like I hit the front page at exactly the right moment. Fortunately, I jotted down a few points to ask/mention when this thread finally was put up.
Honestly, as nice as the standard benching and stuff is, it's less-common stuff like that PWM fan cooling testing or the PCI-E lane testing that really make it shine. Silly little questions, but without actual testing, there's nothing more than a bunch of theories and opinions being tossed back and forth.
Interesting on the results for the PWM cooler. Especially when the Sekisui fell short of the stock tape. Is the Sekisui unusually thin, that couldn't conform to the irregular surfaces of the circuits? Or if the Evga stuff just that much better? Also interesting how the units are apparently rated for a much higher frequency than offered. Wonder if they might allow a 1200Khz option in the future? Hot as hell, but it might offer that extra little edge.
Evga E-Leet: You can adjust the other stuff, does the software allow for adjustment of memory timings/subtimings?
NB cooler: Any comparison for noise? Say, compared to a 800rpm 120mm fan, or something similar?
What an excellent review on the board, covered A to Z.. Very nice and neat packing by eVGA.. Wow..
:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
Just ordered a few days ago an EVGA X58, 12GB Cosair Dominator, and the ultra-120. Is there any way to position the ultra-120 so you can get the full 12GB of ram in?
Hmmm...this should be a good read.
I am able to get to 191 x 21 stable so far on bios SZ1C. I'm looking forward to seeing your results, Jody!
