INXS – Live In London – 1994 – Past Daily Sounbooth
INXS – Live At Brixton Academy – October 28, 1994 – BBC In Concert Series – BBC Radio 1 –
INXS in concert tonight. Recorded at their only UK appearance in 1994 at The Brixton Academy on October 28th and recorded by BBC Radio 1 for In Concert.
Formed as The Farriss Brothers in 1977 in Sydney, New South Wales. INXS founding members were bassist Garry Gary Beers, main composer and keyboardist Andrew Farriss, drummer Jon Farriss, guitarist Tim Farriss, lead singer and main lyricist Michael Hutchence, and guitarist and saxophonist Kirk Pengilly. For 20 years, INXS was fronted by Hutchence, whose magnetic stage presence made him the focal point of the band. Initially known for their new wave/pop style, the band later developed a harder pub rock and alternative rock style that included funk and dance elements.
In 1984, INXS had their first number-one hit in Australia with “Original Sin”. The band would later achieve international success in the mid-to-late 1980s and early 1990s with the hit albums Listen Like Thieves, Kick, and X, as well as the singles “What You Need”, “Need You Tonight” (the band’s only number-one single in the United States), “Devil Inside”, “Never Tear Us Apart”, “Suicide Blonde” and “New Sensation”.
On 28 March 1992, INXS performed at the controversial Concert for Life at Centennial Park in Sydney (a fundraiser for the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Centre), and other performers included Crowded House, Yothu Yindi, Jenny Morris, Diesel, Ratcat and Def FX. Due to inclement weather, the expected attendance of 100,000 never came through, and the event only raised $500,000.
Welcome to Wherever You Are, produced by Mark Opitz and released in August 1992, was an experimental album using sitars and a 60-piece orchestra while adding a more “raw” sound. It received good critical reviews and went No. 1 in the UK and in Sweden; No. 2 in Australia and Switzerland, and No. 3 in Norway, but had less chart success in the US (peaking at No. 16). Singles from the album included “Taste It” and “Baby Don’t Cry”, which were Top 20 successes in UK but had less success in US and Australian markets.
Full Moon, Dirty Hearts, produced by Opitz, was released in November 1993 and peaked at No. 3 on the UK charts, No. 4 in Australia, No. 8 in Sweden, No. 9 in Switzerland, No. 14 in Norway; it did not reach the Top 50 in the US. The title track featured The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde, and another track–“Please (You Got That)”—featured Ray Charles. The band made a full video album for the record using unknown Australian students to direct with help from Richard Lowenstein. Full Moon, Dirty Hearts received mixed reviews, and was the last record under INXS’ contract with Atlantic in the States. The band took time off to rest and be with their families, while Hutchence remained in the public eye through modeling and film acting.
In 1997, the group released a comeback album titled Elegantly Wasted, which garnered mixed reviews. It fared respectably in Australia (No. 14), Canada (No. 14), France (No. 30), UK (No. 16) (where INXS had more success in the 1990s than in the 1980s), Belgium (No. 7), Switzerland (No. 13), but only No. 41 in US.
On 22 November 1997, Michael Hutchence was found dead in his Sydney Ritz-Carlton hotel room. On 6 February 1998, New South Wales State Coroner Derrick Hand presented his report, which ruled that Hutchence’s death was a suicide while depressed and under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Despite the official coroner’s report, there was continued speculation that Hutchence’s death was accidental.
Following Hutchence’s death, INXS made appearances with several guest singers and toured and recorded with Jon Stevens as lead singer beginning in 2002. In 2005, members of INXS participated in Rock Star: INXS, a reality television series that culminated in the selection of Canadian J.D. Fortune as their new lead singer. Irish singer-songwriter Ciaran Gribbin replaced Fortune as lead singer in 2011. During a concert on 11 November 2012, INXS stated that the performance would be their last, although they did not announce the band’s permanent retirement.
INXS won six Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards, including three for “Best Group” in 1987, 1989 and 1992; the band was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2001. INXS has sold an estimated 60 million records worldwide making them one of Australia’s highest selling acts.
As a reminder of their early 90s watershed period, here is that Brixton Academy concert from October 28, 1994.

In the last three years, the “Village Fund and Urban Community” project has changed its approach considerably. Originally, it provided loans to the Fund members. Subsequently, it has provided villagers with opportunities to become entrepreneurs who have collaboratively launched projects that best suit their communities.
Over the period 2016 - 2018, there were a total of 79,598 funds across Thailand with 12 million members. The funds offered the villagers occupational opportunities, as well as promoted their products and services, and assisted in infrastructure development. These in turn helped create jobs and generate income, promoting people’s accessibility to public welfare and helping solve various problems in the villages and communities. The remarkable success of the Village Funds has been clearly reflected in the establishment of community shops and drinking water projects, agriculture support, Pracharat products and Pracharat marketing schemes.
The Village Fund and Urban Community Project has received strong academic support from 38 ‘Rajabhat universities’ nationwide. Apart from serving as a source of knowledge, the universities act as mentors, providing consultation and suggestions on how to draw up a project proposal to be submitted to the government, and transferring essential knowledge on business operations to the funds across the country. With the guidelines from the universities, the projects are operated in compliance with royal philosophies and the Pracharat policy to boost sustainable development in the villages and communities. The universities have also helped with the production of capable personnel in much-needed occupational fields, such as licensed certified auditors.
Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha delivered a speech highlighting the performance of the Village Fund and Urban Community Project according to the Pracharat policy on January 10, 2019. He said the government has a policy to support people through the Pracharat mechanism to promote strong communities that will further lead to stability, prosperity and sustainability for Thailand. Development must be based on moderation, reasonableness, immunity and the application of technologies and local wisdom. Experience alone may not be enough. Changes in practices and learning, as well as improvements in production processes and marketing in line with the Thailand 4.0 development plan are also needed to drive development of the country.
“The government has recognized the importance of the Village Fund and Urban Community Project for its role in driving forward numerous projects to reverse poverty and raise the people’s quality of life in a sustainable manner. We are confident that the Project, with its networks nationwide, will be a key driving force to move forward the grassroots economy by reducing inequality, creating job opportunities and professional careers, as well as generating income for people. The Project, therefore, is considered a strong and stable fund in accordance with the government policy of ‘no one will be left behind’,” the Prime Minister said.
Over the past three years, budget has been allocated to continue projects in accordance with Pracharat guidelines, namely: 1. 35 billion baht for the project to strengthen the grass-roots economy in accordance with Pracharat guidelines in 2016; 2. 15 billion baht for the project to boost the capacity of villages and communities to foster the grass-roots economy in 2017; and 3. 20 billion baht for the Sustainable Village and Community Development Project in line with the royal philosophy and the Pracharat policy in 2018.
This resulted in more than 200,000 projects, including at least 25,000 community stores across the country, 56,000 agricultural extension projects, 37,000 public product projects and 2,900 public marketing projects. The projects helped generate employment for over 1.6 million people and total income over three years of more than 39 billion baht with 8.5 billion baht in profits for the members.
Many projects were successful and won awards for communities in recognition of their efforts in implementing the 20-year national strategy, particularly in six areas, including 1. Solving the problems of suffering by fostering happiness and stability; 2. Increasing development potential and capability; 3. Developing and enhancing human resources; 4. Creating equal opportunities and reducing inequality; 5. Developing quality of life by being friendly to the environment; and 6. Integrating village and community development activities into sustainable development goals.
The Wat Khae Nok Pracharat Floating Market in Bang Kraseu District, Mueang Nonthaburi is one of the most successful prototype projects of the Village Fund.
Mr. Surachat Kannim, President of the Wat Khae Nok Pracharat Floating Market, said that the floating market project had been created through the strength of the 57 village funds in Mueang Nonthaburi, which brainstormed the project and sourced finance from their own funds to jointly develop the floating market as a tourist destination and to sell quality products from all 57 communities. Apart from the floating market, other tourism attractions have been developed such as boat trips along the Chao Phraya River, restaurants, and conference and seminar halls for rent, all of which have brought in substantial income for the communities.
“Apart from the income generated, we have succeeded in creating jobs for many people in the area, established a sales point for community products, while temples, schools and communities in the surrounding area also benefit from the floating market. The project represents a great opportunity for the local people to be able to build up the grass-roots economy by themselves.”

Malcolm Sinclair, 20th Earl of Caithness
Malcolm Sinclair, 20th Earl of Caithness, will be giving a talk about the extraordinary story of Castle Sinclair Girnigoe. The Castle is situated on a long narrow peninsula of rock projecting into Sinclair Bay and the North Sea and rising seamlessly from sheer sixty-foot sides down to the sea on three sides. There is a deep ditch separating it from the mainland and another moat dividing the Castle into the inner and outer baileys. This dramatic setting rendered it impregnable and it withstood every siege. Being so large in comparison with other castles it had an importance second to none in the medieval history of the north of Scotland and is the most spectacular ruin in this part of Britain. Here battles were planned; expeditions to Europe, Greenland and the New World worked out, and besides the intrigue and plotting, times of great merriment and laughter.
The earliest date for building work at the Castle is the late 1300’s and, as was often the case, the accommodation offered by the Keep, outbuildings and underground dungeons was altered by successive generations to meet changing social and military requirements. Parts were built for strength and defence but the alterations in the 1500’s and 1600’s which included finely carved corbels for supporting angle windows and turrets, in particular the lovely oriel windows, were designed for beauty and more comfort. Cromwell’s troops occupied the Castle in the 1650’s and it was deliberately partially ruined in 1680.
The builders and owners of the castle were the Sinclair family, later created Earls of Caithness, and chief of ‘the Lordly line of high St Clair’. They have been associated with the area ‘even before the time of Christ’. Not surprisingly there is a long and distinguished history attached to the family not only in Scotland and England but also in Europe and America. “No family in Europe beneath the rank of Royalty boasts a higher antiquity, a nobler illustration, or a more romantic interest than that of St. Clair”. Descended from the Norse Jarls (Princes) in the ninth century, the earliest recorded involvement of the name in Scottish history dates from 1057 when William ‘The Seemly’ St Clair was given Rosslyn near Edinburgh in Life rent. It was his descendent that inherited the ancient Jarldom of Orkney and Caithness, which had come down another branch of the family, descended from the same Norse Jarls. The Jarldom at one time included the Shetland Isles, the Faroes, Iceland, part of Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Western Isles of Scotland and Sutherland (the southern land of Caithness).
The castle has the highest conservation status in the UK and is the only castle in Scotland to be listed by the World Monuments Fund. It is owned by the Clan Sinclair Trust and one of its great advantages is that nothing has been done to the castle for over three hundred years. Most buildings of this period have been added to and altered so the original is no longer there. Through archaeological research we are preserving what remains and rewriting its history in the process. Walls and staircases which have not been seen for hundreds of years have been revealed in the first phase of work giving us a unique historical perspective.
A Study Centre and Library has been created at the nearby lighthouse complex at Noss Head, in property also owned by the Trust. It is a grade A listed building that was designed in the Egyptian style by Alan Stevenson, the uncle of Robert Louis Stevenson. A new interpretation centre is planned to be built nearby to enhance visitor’s enjoyment of the area and for educational purposes.
Background on the Earl of Caithness
Having completed the three-year course at the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, Malcolm worked for a firm of land agents in Oxfordshire. In 1984 his career changed when Mrs Thatcher, the Prime Minister, invited him to join her government. He started as a Whip and Lord in Waiting to The Queen before progressing to an Under Secretary of State at the Department of Transport and then Minister of State at, successively, the Home Office, Department of the Environment, the Treasury, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and back to the Department of Transport. He is the only hereditary peer during the last century to have served in the three important Departments of State (Foreign and Home Offices and Treasury) and while in the Treasury was also Paymaster General. He was created a Privy Councillor to Her Majesty The Queen in 1990.
As one of the 92 hereditary peers still in Parliament, as a backbencher, he is serving on the European sub-committee considering legislation from Brussels on Agricultural and Environmental matters. He is hereditary chief of the Sinclairs, and chief executive of the Clan Sinclair Trust, a heritage charity, and is also involved with other heritage and charity work in the north of Scotland.

Quick blog post to congratulate my sister Ada Chen and her husband Sachin Rekhi, who have just announced the acquisition of their startup Connected to LinkedIn. The company was backed by a seed investment from Ignition Partners and Trinity Ventures.
Here’s an excerpt from AllThingsD:
LinkedIn has acquired Connected, a small contact management startups that unifies and dynamically updates users’ connections on email, social networks, calendars and phones, according to sources close to the company.
Connected is similar to Xobni/Smartr, but it’s more of a dashboard than a plug-in, and it costs $9.99 per month. The company had raised a seed round of $500,000 led by Trinity Ventures in June. The service has been called “bloody awesome” by Tim O’Reilly.
Ada and Sachin posted some additional info via blog post with the annoucement. They’ll soon be moving down to Mountain View as part of the purchase so I’ll get to see them more often!

The costume is a combination of self-made, purchased and modified pieces. I made the skirt out of a poly stretch suiting with a brown faux-suede for the pockets. The shirt was purchased online, then I added the collar and replaced the front laces with a brown suede. I made my necklace by spray-painting some brown wood beads I already had silver, then stringing it all together. I purchased a pair of googles and painted them the light tan and orange to match my plinth helmet. To top it all off my mother dug out her old Minolta camera for me to use, perfection!

CDC: Lyme disease 10 times more common than believed
ATLANTA — Lyme disease is about 10 times more common than previously reported, health officials said on Monday.
As many as 300,000 Americans are diagnosed with Lyme disease each year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced.
Usually, only 20,000 to 30,000 illnesses are reported each year. For many years, CDC officials have known that many doctors don't report every case and that the true count was probably much higher.
The new figure is the CDC's most comprehensive attempt at a better estimate. The number comes from a survey of seven national laboratories, a national patient survey and a review of insurance information.
“It's giving us a fuller picture, and it's not a pleasing one,” said Dr. Paul Mead, who oversees the agency's tracking of Lyme disease.
The ailment is named after Lyme, Conn., where the illness was first identified in 1975. It's a bacteria transmitted through the bites of infected deer ticks, which can be about the size of a poppy seed.
Symptoms include a fever, headache and fatigue and sometimes a telltale rash that looks like a bull's-eye centered on the tick bite. Most people recover with antibiotics. If left untreated, the infection can cause arthritis and more severe problems.
In the United States, the majority of Lyme disease reports have come from 13 states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The study did not find anything to suggest the disease is more geographically widespread, Mead said.

The human eye is one of the most complex organs in the body. It is responsible for our vision and helps us to perceive colors, depth, and movement. However, like any other organ, it requires proper nourishment to function optimally. A healthy diet can play a significant role in maintaining eye health and preventing eye diseases.
Annual eye exams are essential for maintaining healthy vision, but did you know they can also play a vital role in preventing life-threatening health conditions?
During a routine eye exam, eye doctors can detect early signs of the following conditions:
Additionally, eye exams can detect tumors in the eye or surrounding areas, allowing for early intervention and treatment. So, scheduling an annual eye exam not only protects your eyesight but also protects your vision, overall health, and can potentially save your life.
Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and collard greens are rich in antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin. These antioxidants help to combat free radicals that can damage cells in the eyes and cause age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness in older adults. Eating leafy greens can also reduce the risk of developing cataracts. Aim to eat at least one serving of leafy greens every day.
Eggs are a great source of protein and contain nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin. These nutrients help to prevent cataracts and AMD. Eggs are also a good source of vitamin D, which plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy bones and eyes.
Fishes like salmon, tuna, and mackerel are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which can improve eye health. These fatty acids help to prevent dry eyes and reduce the risks of AMD and glaucoma.
They can also help to improve visual acuity in people with a low intake of omega-3s. The American Optometric Association recommends eating fish twice a week to maintain healthy vision.
Nuts like almonds and seeds like sunflower seeds are high in vitamin E, which helps to protect cells in the eyes from damage caused by free radicals. They can also reduce the risk of AMD and cataracts. Eating a handful of nuts and seeds daily can provide the necessary nutrients to protect your eyes.
A healthy diet also includes avoiding foods that are harmful to your eyes. Foods high in saturated fats, sugar, sodium, and processed foods can increase the risk of developing AMD, glaucoma, and other eye diseases. Avoiding such foods by sticking to a balanced diet will promote good eye health for years to come.
For all your eye care needs and questions, contact Key-Whitman Eye Center at (214) 220-3937! We are the right choice for you and your family’s eyes, proudly serving Dallas, TX, and surrounding areas.

Ambulatory veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is used for support in patients with severe respiratory failure. The method allows extracorporeal gas exchange and may replace the patient’s lung function for weeks and even years. ECMO is not a contraindication for lung transplant. The most important factor for a good outcome is the physiological status of the patient when accepted for transplantation. Ambulatory ECMO makes it possible for the patient to exercise and walk, and provides the best outcome for high risk patients in severe respiratory failure. Ambulatory ECMO is safe in the hands of skilled personnel and prevents critical illness neuropathy and myopathy during prolonged treatments in the intensive care unit.

No. 3: Sam Reinhart
There’s not too many positives when it comes to the Buffalo Sabres. Not only did the team go through a terrible Covid-19 scare this season, but they also lost 18 games in a row.
However, there is one positive and his name is Sam Reinhart.
Currently on the last year of a $5.2M contract, before becoming a Restricted Free Agent (RFA), Reinhart has had a good season. He leads the team with 13 goals and 24 points in 36 games (stats: hockeydb.com) and is only one of two players with double-digit goals on the roster.
The former second-overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft is someone the Sabres should want to build around. However, they’re a dumpster-fire and don’t seem like they’ll be playoff-bound for a few years. As a result, it may make sense to move on from Reinhart for a big haul.
Although Reinhart is a pending RFA and someone the Leafs probably won’t be able to re-sign, they could trade his rights to another team before he becomes a free agent, so they could get something back in return for him.
With four 20-goal seasons in his past five years, Reinhart has a scoring touch and can be a huge addition to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Paying a big price of prospects and draft picks and a potential roster player for Reinhart would be well worth it, as Toronto is in a win-now mode and wants to compete for the Stanley Cup this year.

According to Mark Guim from TheNokiaBlog he states that the Nokia will announce the Cseries range of devices in CeBIT 2010 Germany. From the newsletter quoted below it shows the letter “C” is kinda capitalized in all places. It means there is definitly something new from Nokia at CeBIT2010. Lets wait with hope.
C you at CeBIT
This year’s CeBIT 2010 event swings open its doors on Tuesday morning in Hannover, Germany. The show runs from 2-6 March, so scribble it in your diary as we’ll be reporting from the frontline. Before Mobile World Congress there was a ton of rumours about potential new devices and even a new Cseries range. The show came and went and although there were some pretty major announcements from Nokia, no new devices. Does that mean R&D have been asleep this past while? Most likely not. Of course, we don’t comment on rumours or leaks, but we are looking forward to C BIT for the next series of Nokia announcements. Right we’re off to pack our rucksacks and lederhosen, C you there.
The Nokia may announce much rumored C5 or Nokia Mystic device


text: Habits make us, And also break us. We are prisoners to our ways, Yet, so vital is to regularly breakaway. Bonds of our ways and habits, Developed consciously or unconsciously in tacit, Determine a lot in our lives, Changing is not without some strifes. Some easy and comforting routine, Are nothing less than cocaine. Addiction to our norms and styles, Slowly but surely does patterns pile. From waking up to shut eye, Routines rampantly run our lives. Some good and some not, are in the mix, For the not so, there’s no quick fix. Path of changing pattern is rather greasy. Giving up or molding old ways is not easy, A strong desire is the first step on this way, Practice, patience and perseverance are the mainstay. Some change in habits is hugely beneficial, For some, help from others is vital, Yet, personal effort is pivotal, For lasting change, beyond superficial.

Hi to everybody. I am from Quito, Ecuador, 25 years old and work in the oilfield industry. My father's name is Cesar Aldaz Paz. He is from the south part of Ecuador, near to the boundary with Peru. His father passed away when he was 10 years old, and unfortunately my father does not have a clue about our origin. My granpa's name was Virgilio Aldaz Valdez. I know just two or three more families with the surname Aldaz here in Ecuador, and they are concentrated principally in the south where my father comes from.I am planning to take a trip there to visit some relatives, and probably I will get hints and more history about us. I am sure our family came from the south of Soth America, probably Paraguay or Uruguay.I would really like to hear from you anythingabout our origin or just of your lifes. Please send me e-mails, I will keep my mind on this.
PD. excuse my english is not so good, but it is improving, I guess. Thanks..


Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala has succeeded to control the Covid-19 outbreak by restricting it to the primary level, even as the rest of the country is still struggling to cope with the scary disease.
Over the past two days, the state has reported just one new case in Kasargod. Although there were a number of cases of patients testing positive having interacted with a large number of contacts, the state administration managed to identify most and keep them under observation, thereby preventing the risk of community infection.
As many as 26,000 people are in isolation at their homes, in addition to over 200 under observation in hospitals. As many as 2,140 samples have tested negative, leaving the total number of cases testing positive at 25.
Although Kerala was the first place to report the instance of pandemic crisis, when batches of students returning from China’s worst-hit Wuhan tested positive, there has been no deaths. All those admitted to hospitals on their return from China have since been cured and discharged.|
The threat of a secondary level attack arose only when a family coming from Italy gave the slip to the monitoring mechanism at the airport and interacted with a large number of people. All those primary and secondary contacts have been identified and isolated.
A few other cases of virus-hit patients getting into contact with others have come to the fore, but the authorities have succeeded to prevent the secondary infection, identified and isolated them.
With the outbreak apparently under control, the state has now turned its attention to the care and rehabilitation of those under isolation. Incidents of a few people escaping from isolation at hospitals and other such centres, public has managed to absorb the stress of a stringent protocol against the spread of the disease.
Community leaders, including the managements of places of worship, have volunteered to restrict crowds and even cancel events in view of the emergency situation. This has been achieved not by invoking rules and laws but by appealing to social commitment of the communities.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who congratulated the people for the success in containing the infection, however, stressed the need to keep continued vigil and pointed out that the task now is to attend to the needs of those in isolation, including their emotional and physical wellbeing.
At a conference of civic bodies, the CM said it is now for the local bodies and the grassroots level people’s representatives to take the work forward. He reminded them of high risks in the event of a community infection and urged them to be prepared for an eventuality. The conference was also addressed by Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala.
The local bodies have been charged with the task of reviewing the available healthcare facilities, including the number of hospital beds and ICUs in their respective areas and identifying private buildings, hotels, lodges and other facilities where the people under isolation can be accommodated.
The CM presented the blueprint of an elaborate mechanism, which involved the local body, government apparatus, healthcare professionals, government officials and general public to fight the risk of the infection spreading to the next levels.
He stressed the importance of containing the economic impact of the virus infection, leading to widespread loss of livelihood to a large number of people, including roadside vendors, small traders, transport workers — bus and taxi drivers — and daily wage earners. Also, needing care are migrant workers from other states who have been thrown out of employment.
The CM also announced that Rs20,000 crore will be pumped into the state economy, which has been badly hit and the government has decided to extend help to see that it does not fall further.
“Rs2,000 crore would be given to Kudumbhashree (women empowerment scheme) who will give out small loans to the needy. Rs1,000 crore each would be given in months of April-May for the National Rural Employment Guarantee scheme,” he said.

This June we are creating some beautiful summer birds.
The process is magic! No glue. No thread. Its mess free and super creative.
No previous experience is required and you don’t have to be a skilled crafter.
Using a series of techniques you will learn how to needle felt a basic bird shape with wings and tail feathers – we shall cover these in soft shades of blue and green Merino and Carded wool to create a blue tit, or adapt the colours and make a wren, the choice is yours.
The whole process will require lots and lots of stabbing with the very sharp felting needle to harden the wool.
Julia will demonstrate how to create the markings on its head, where the eyes should go and how to construct a beak.
You can then add a couple of little metal legs and perch him on a pine cone.
Many of the techniques you pick up can be used to make other projects.
Everything needed to make one bird will be supplied.
You’ll also get to take home your special barbed needle and foam block so you can make more at home.

The Afghan Taliban has claimed responsibility for the suicide attack at an Afghan defence ministry gate in Kabul.
They said in a statement the attack "is a kind of message" for US defence secretary Chuck Hagel, who is visiting the country.
Hagel, who was in a safe location at an ISAF facility at the time of the blast, has planned to meet US commanders and troops and hold talks with President Hamid Karzai.
An Afghan defence ministry official told Reuters at least nine civilians had been killed and 14 people wounded in today's attack.

This week, DNCE released the flirty music video for their new song ‘Toothbrush’. The band’s front man Joe Jonas takes the lead in the video, alongside model Ashley Graham who plays his on-screen love interest. The pair recently spoke to Glamour Magazine about the video experience.
When choosing his love interest for the music video, Jonas confirmed that there was only one woman for the job. “To be honest, we really only had one girl in mind,” he told Glamour. “I just find Ashley Graham so beautiful.” Graham herself had no hesitations either, and was unable to turn down the offer. “How could I say no?” she said. We definitely approve of Jonas’ choice of leading lady and it’s great to see a fuller female figure being represented positively in the media.
The video features the pair getting very cosy – kissing, caressing and even salsa dancing, as well as some steamy bedroom scenes. The chemistry between the two is undeniable, so surely they must have already met before the day of filming? “We met in the trailer, and our first scene was in the bed,” Jonas revealed. “We hit it off, just walked right into it. This video was a dream come true.”
‘Toothbrush’ talks about taking a relationship to the next level, so Glamour also asked the pair for their opinion on when is the right time to leave a toothbrush behind.
“I think it’s a pretty big step,” Jonas said. “Leaving a sweatshirt is understandable, but a toothbrush is a statement. And that’s kind of why we wrote the song. If you really think about it, no one wants morning breath. And you’re obviously staying over quite a bit—I mean, no one has more than one toothbrush, right? I would say it’s gotta be a few visits before that conversation happens.”
“Only a few?” Graham questioned. “Leaving a toothbrush is a commitment, that’s like, we’ve already had the BF/GF discussion, we’re going in!”
“You should definitely have a conversation before you leave a toothbrush,” Jonas answered. “I’d be freaked out if you didn’t.”
“Yes, there’s definitely a discussion,” Graham concluded. “I think if a woman leaves a toothbrush at a guy’s house, she’s letting him know that he’s going to have to commit soon or there’s a problem.”
Who knew a discussion surrounding a toothbrush could be so deep? Check out the music video below.


A piece of the arctic surge has reached South Georgia and the Big Bend region, and we’ve felt its arrival with afternoon temperatures hovering in the 40s with a stiff northwest wind. Breezes won’t relax very much overnight, and, considering the depth of the cold air flowing in on those winds, a frigid night is expected. Some passing upper-level clouds won’t halt the cold trend. Air temperatures will fall into the upper teens across inland sections, with low to mid 20s in the southeast Big Bend and coastal areas. Wind chill values will make it feel more like the single digits overnight in south Georgia, and between 10° to 15° for apparent temps in north Florida. Sunshine galore Tuesday will only warm us into the upper 30s north to lower 40s southeast. Another round of hard-freeze temps is forecast for Wednesday before conditions recover with an east wind by midweek. We won’t get to above average levels before the end of the week.

Re: This is an 8-8 or worse Texan team
Why do I keep seeing the words 2010 in my dreams? This is 2010 all over again. A couple of good and somewhat lucky comeback wins make everyone feel better than they should. Eventually the emperor has no clothes.
Our passing game stinks. We don't air it out until we have too. It's all underneath stuff, and that is what led to the int. I mean, he looked at the film. Those little 3-5 yard routes are the vast majority of Schaub's game until he is forced to do otherwise. So once again for the 3rd game in a row, Schaub makes one or more huge mistakes that turn the tide of the game. I've about had it with this guy.
Our pass pro is average at best, and that's with D Brown. Harris hasn't been that bad today. The RT stinks. How many times on 3rd and long can Kubiak call a draw? Sheeat. This team just goes into a shell.
Joe M's unit is still as bad as ever. Another game changing play. Those two plays were the game. Period.
D didn't play bad at all overall, but enough with the offsides. Jeesbus. Also, at key moments, they let the Ravens convert, with penalties playing a big role.
This team is staring 2-3 in the face. If the Ravens did it to us, the 49ers and Seahawks surely will.
I hate to agree with the OP, but right now this team looks very, very, average. 8 or 9 wins looks about right.

The Automotive Industries Association of Canada is urging industry members to sign the House of Commons Right to Repair petition, which closes June 3, 2022.
The petition comes at a time when Right to Repair legislation is moving through Parliament and forms an official urging for the Government of Canada.
“Because of your support in helping us surpass our goal of 500 signatures, this petition will be tabled in the House, and the government will be required to issue a response,” says AIA Canada. “But the fight doesn’t stop here. The more voices we have, the better – so let’s keep those signatures coming!”
The Right to Repair petition urges action on the issue as:
- Today’s vehicles are gathering enormous amounts of data about the vehicle and its driver, including important maintenance and repair information;
- Data transmitted wirelessly goes only to the automakers, giving them full control over it and authority to decide who can access it;
- Without direct access to and control of this data, vehicle owners may face higher costs and have fewer options when it comes to who maintains and repairs their vehicles, restricting their ability to choose more affordable options;
- The Conference Board of Canada estimates that the move to greater automation and wireless updates could lead to the loss of 53,707 aftermarket jobs by 2051;
- 8-in-10 Canadians agree that auto manufacturers should be required by law to share data with independent repairers or mechanics so they can fix their car;
- Canadians believe that vehicle owners deserve the right to direct where their vehicle data goes;
- Other jurisdictions have recognized the importance of data ownership and introduced their own legislation;
- Multiple pieces of legislation before the House of Commons address the issue of data control, consent, and maintaining the principle of right to repair; and
- The Government of Canada’s ministerial mandate letters commit to resolve the right to repair issue.
The petition will close on June 3rd, 2022.
SIGNING the House of Commons petition takes seconds.

Elevate Earth's resource potential
Dirac's cutting-edge technology eliminates detrimental air pollutants, safeguarding Earth's produce from irreversible harm.
FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
Over 50% of world fruit and vegetable production is lost between harvest and consumption, causing economic losses for 1 trillion. Dirac technology is the antidote to food waste. By eliminating compounds that drive the maturation and decay of organic foods, it extends the shelf life by over 50%, addressing the crucial issue of food preservation.
The future of agriculture lies in indoor cultivation, yet these environments often suffer significant losses from bacterial and mold development. Dirac's technology emerges as a solution, boosting indoor crop production by eliminating airborne pathogens responsible for irreparable damage to plants.
Intensive livestock farming poses a major challenge to the food industry due to its substantial environmental impact from emissions. Ensuring a healthy environment for animals is crucial. Dirac technology comes to the rescue by preventing virus infections and minimizing antibiotic use, actively reducing emissions into the atmosphere.

Edinburgh Fringe 2019
John is playing with his dolls (action figures) when Bev comes in and finds him after having played with her hoop. From there we get the relationship between them as grown up children trying to find a way of playing that allows Bev to be someone and John to support her in her choice. Her growth is hindered by a lack of confidence as she tries to push her physical boundaries. We get, through hoop work and balance work as well as dance the intensity of a friendship and the burgeoning responsibility of growing up to be your own hero and that of your best friend.
Technically this is a very good piece of circus work, both are very good at the floor work and aerial work that Bev manages to do includes the comic timing of getting it wrong – just wrong enough to be good, and bad enough to realise the skill. It creates the narrative of her trying to get better but wanting to give up whilst really, really wanting to be able to do it. Both John and Bev tease each other but ultimately end up being their own best support as she gets to be and he gets to be part of it all.
As a narrative it is interesting as opposed to mind blowing. The two performers clearly have a very good relationship between them to exploit. It allows the physical to find a language whilst leaving us in no doubt of what is happening. The issues that I did have were of pace and volume. Physically Bev and John have a very nuanced language but when talking they are quiet, sometimes too quiet and less comfortable. The pace then drops at times when we could do with things gaining momentum. It leaves parts of the piece over ponderous which is not in keeping with the idea and ideal of circus and physical theatre.
The soundscape is great and getting some of the standard hero type themes makes it a nodding acquaintance for most of us but again I wanted more of the visual and less of the aural.
There is little doubt that this Scottish based company have a lot to give. And set pieces including the balance work at the beginning, the hoop work at height where Bev struggles to gain control and some of the Johnny Depp/ Holly Willoughby stuff is fantastic to watch.
Pitching the idea of heroes and circus brought a lot of very small – some of them dressed up – young children into the performance. A number of them did not see the end of the show. I wondered if the pitch had been successfully made on this very wet day but of those kids who stayed they got a very decent finale.
I thought it a great way of bringing circus to them and with a snappier pace it would develop more readily into a new audience. I loved the finale and the resolution and it showed we have a team behind this who know how to structure the story. We can forgive some of the setting up work because of the safety of our performers but as time progresses and this company builds it is clear there are great foundations upon which to really build to the spectacular.


|Manufacturer||Yamaha Motor Company|

The Yamaha MT-09 (FZ-09 in North America) is a Yamaha sport or standard motorcycle with an 847 cc (51.7 cu in) crossplane inline three engine. It has an all-new desaxé engine, a lightweight cast alloy frame, and an upside-down fork.
Design and development
The MT-09 competes against the Triumph Street Triple, the Kawasaki Z800, the MV Agusta Brutale and Yamaha's own FZ8. It is intended to restore Yamaha's fortunes, as the factory has in recent years lost its reputation for innovation.[opinion] The MT-09's product manager, Shun Miyazawa, said Yamaha had considered in-line twins, triples and fours, and V-twins; but that the in-line triple gave the "best solution" of power, torque and low weight. Comparing the MT-09 to the Triumph Street Triple, he said the Triumph was a streetfighter, but the Yamaha was a "roadster motard".
Both the frame and the double-sided swinging arm are made of lightweight alloy which are cast in two pieces. The frame castings are bolted together at the headstock and at the rear, but the swinging arm parts are welded together. The MT-09 is the first Yamaha triple since the XS750 and XS850, both shaft-drive motorcycles produced from 1976 to 1981.
The MT-09 Tracer (FJ-09 in the US) is a sports-tourer model introduced in 2015. It has a partial fairing, a larger fuel tank, ABS, and "D-Mode"  drive by wire throttle mapping. The display is the same unit as the Yamaha XT1200Z Super Ténéré's. It also has LED headlights and tail-light.
Shun Miyazawa said buyers are moving away from supersport bikes, adding, "(Yamaha) aim to create an older and younger brother and cousins (to the MT-09) - maybe the same capacity, but a slightly different concept". This was translated into the creation of the MT-07/FZ-07 in US & Canada), the XSR700, the XSR900 and the MT-10/FZ-10 in US & Canada).
In Motor Cycle News Michael Neeves said, "The MT-09 starts an exciting new era for Yamaha" and "The MT-09 is a roadster for all occasions. It’s fun". However, the ride-by-wire throttle was criticised as "snatchy". Cycle World's Kevin Cameron describes the styling as "V-Max meets Transformers Robot", "like a Supermono" and "an up-to-the-minute streetfighter, no bland revival of a 1970s' UJM. Call it a new synthesis." Cycle World named the FZ-09 'Best Standard' of 2015.
In an MCN 5-bike group test in 2015, the testers felt that the Yamaha MT-09 Tracer was a better bike and better value than its four competitors, namely: a Triumph Tiger 800XRx, a Triumph Tiger Sport, a Honda Crossrunner, and a Ducati Hyperstrada.

The BBC has commissioned a new reality TV show called Maestro, in which seven celebrities learn to be conductors.
The Strictly Come Dancing- style programme will see stars battle it out on the podium in front of orchestras and choirs.
The winner of the series, expected to air in the summer on BBC Two, will conduct an orchestra during the Last Night of the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall in September.
Contestants will be mentored by experts and judged by a panel of top international conductors.
The famous faces taking up the challenge have not been confirmed, but broadcaster Jon Snow is rumoured to be in talks to appear.
A BBC spokesperson said: "This programme is still in the pipeline at present, but if it does go ahead, we hope that by following different people's journeys in learning how to conduct, it will succeed in opening up classical music to a completely different audience."

This thesis describes the wide subject of the luminosity leveling and its requirements for the LHC and the HL-LHC. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different leveling methods focusing the thesis on the beta star leveling technique. We review the beams offset build--up due to the environmental (i.e. natural ground motion) and mechanical (i.e. moving quadrupole) sources. We quantify the instrumentation requirements for the reliable and reproducible operation with small offsets at the interaction points. Last but not least, we propose a novel method for the beam offset stabilization at the collision point based on the feedback from the luminosity.

SAGE GPU Graphics Card Support - Black
As graphics cards become more advanced, the components fitted to GPUs make them both larger and heavier. This creates a particular problem for mounting GPUs vertically. A heavy GPU can easily start to "sag", even if it's been tightly screwed to the motherboard.
Famed PC modder Cre8or developed the Sage Eliminator to solve this problem. The Sage Eliminator is a solid acrylic bracket that mounts to a motherboard and securely holds a vertically mounted GPU in place.
The Sage Eliminator's clever design means that it can be attached without the need for tools or screws, it just neatly clips to a motherboard and the underside of a graphics card to create a strong and secure connection.
The Cre8or SAGE Eliminator at a Glance:
- Reliably supports even the heaviest graphics cards
- Compatible with motherboards up to E-ATX
- Simple installation without screws or tools
- Manufactured in premium acrylic glass
- Includes stylish Ali Abbas emblem
- Stout and stylish packaging for secure transport
Simple but Effective
The powerful components fitted to modern graphics cards make them increasingly large and heavy. As a result, the screws that fix vertically mounted GPUs to motherboards are not sufficient to keep them properly aligned. This can lead to an unsightly "GPU sag", where the GPU seems to hang from its PCI-E slot. At worst, this could potentially damage the motherboard's PCIe slot and ultimately the graphics card itself.
This is where the Sage Eliminator comes in. Designed by renowned PC modder the Cre8or, this bracket can be attached to any GPU and provides additional support to keep GPUs properly aligned.
Fitting the Sage Eliminator is incredibly straightforward. It is mounted with no screws or tools, hooks at the edges of the bracket that simply attach to the motherboard and the underside of the graphics card.
The Sage Eliminator is extremely durable as it is made from solid acrylic. It also has a striking look with the Cre8or's distinct and stylish logo being embossed on it.
- Dimensions: 190 - approx. 270 x 50 x 10 mm (W x H x D)

During a CNN interview on Wednesday afternoon, Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT) used an obsolete talking point to downplay President Trump’s interest in firing Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
Stewart was asked if he shares Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) belief that Trump will not move to fire Mueller, who is currently investigating claims of collusion between Trump campaign and Russia, as well as possible obstruction of justice by the president. He replied by saying he “absolutely” does, citing Trump’s comments from three weeks ago — a period of time before the FBI raided the home, office, and hotel room of Michael Cohen, Trump’s longtime personal attorney.
“The president has made it clear as recently as I think three weeks ago — he has no intention of firing Mr Mueller, and he shouldn’t,” Stewart said.
Instead of explaining why Trump shouldn’t fire Mueller, Stewart immediately started listing reasons why Trump’s frustration is justified.
“Look, if you think there is evidence of collusion there, or you’re hanging your hat on that — it just simply hasn’t materialized. I think the president sees that,” Stewart said.
Trump’s frustrations over the Mueller investigation have become increasingly public since the FBI’s raid on Michael Cohen. Hours after the raid — which happened as a result of a criminal referral from Mueller — Trump responded by calling it “an attack on our country, in a true sense,” and admitted he was considering firing Mueller.
“Many people have said, ‘you should fire him.’ Again, they found nothing, and in finding nothing, that’s a big statement,” Trump said. “This is a pure and simple witch hunt.”
JUST IN: President Trump responds to question "why don't you just fire Mueller?"
"Well, I think it's a disgrace what's going on. We'll see what happens … many people have said you should fire him. Again, they found nothing." pic.twitter.com/1k1bkdb7LZ
— MSNBC (@MSNBC) April 9, 2018
The next day, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that the White House “has been advised” that Trump has the power to unilaterally fire Mueller. Her comment suggested the White House has sought legal advice about Trump possibly moving on Mueller — a change from March, when a White House attorney said the president “is not considering or discussing” firing the special counsel.
Republican members of Congress like McConnell and Stewart have tacitly given Trump the green light to move on the special counsel. During a Fox News interview on Tuesday, the Senate majority leader talked out of both sides of his mouth, saying that while he doesn’t think Trump should or will fire Mueller, he won’t allow legislation to protect the special counsel to come up for a vote on the Senate floor.

Van Balckeneynde House > More History
In 1639, Claes Dircx van Balckeneynde (had his house built) here at the Nieue Biercade (now called Dunne Bierkade), designed by Pieter Post.
Van Balckeneynde occupied the duty of Town Carpenter (director of municipal works). He gathered many talented people around him. He succeeded in employing the best architects, stone masons and wood workers of our Golden Century in order to construct the palaces of the family of Orange and many other prestigious buildings in and around Die Haghe (The Hague).
The Nieue Biercade (now called Dunne Bierkade) used to be the border of the small village of Die Haghe (The Hague) for many centuries. On the other side the meadows could be seen which yielded a sumptuous view. The reason that van Balckeneynde moved from the Plein to the Nieue Bierkade was due to the accessibility by ship, the main mode of transportation in the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands.
There it happened that Piet Heyn in 1628 arrived at the Biercade, after the conquest of the Silver Fleet (Spanish treasure fleet), where he was welcomed by the States-General.
The canals served for Van Balckeneynde to supply him with materials for his many building activities, for others but also for his own venue: oak from Bohemia, brimstone for the façade and Ijssel-bricks for the back wall. Materials for other construction works were temporarily stored in the city timber yard, located behind the house.
Characteristic for the architect Pieter Post, who designed this house during the Dutch Golden Age, was the classical harmony and symmetry. Above all, he disliked wooden girders in sight: ceilings should by all means be cladded with woodwork as to conceal their framework.
Due to the minimalistic occupancy in later years, the monument on Dunne Bierkade 18 was barely altered and remained in its original state. It breathes the charm from the first half of the seventeenth century, with all the clearness and self-consciousness of the human scale.
Ever since the last occupant, the publisher J. H. C. Voorhoeve, passed away, nothing of the interior has been changed. Due to this, a unique images of the times emerged.
Currently the monument houses the main office of the Fundatie Voorhoeve.

I have somehow convinced myself that because I've already done one, that I will just be able to get on a bike and cycle for 112 miles. Or that after cycling 500 miles on the ALC ride, that I can now go at a 17 mph average pace on a long ride.
hmm...yes...I know....but it's now hit me...and the training plan has been created...with goals...charts....and the excitement (and nervousness)
Swim - Bike - Run = IronMan!
So how does IronMan Canada terrain look like?
The swim is in a lake - which is much preferred to the ocean - and many state the "perfect temperature" as in August you've built up some warmth but still tolerable in a wetsuit. Wide beach to spread the swim start out - less washing machine battering each other. And the course is a 1 loop aspect, so no overtaking from the elites.
The bike is NOT easy. That's what I've heard and started to read about. It's a 1 loop course of 112 miles - so no seeing fellow riders. The bike elevation is 5,500 for the ride. Ouch! I can do that, but in a race format to push for speed...and then doing a marathon afterwards. hmmm....not sure on this one
Looking at the above elevation chart identifies a couple of items for my training:
- Hill training MUST be included (not always my fave)
- Practice a big hill at the 80% point of the ride to simulate the mile 80 pass
- Build my power wattage up to be able to gain speed and maximize the use of my legs, ensuring I have enough left for the run
- **HEAT** training needed as well as the temperature gets to the 90's so being able to get electrolytes and hydrate in is key
I just found out that this is not an easy run. I thought, it must be flat as it runs close to the lake. But alas, the elevation gain is 600 feet. That is easy on a bike, but on a run....after a packed day....hmmm.
The run is an out-n-back - so you can see the mirror elevation in the elevation chart above.
Going to have to practice putting in a hill at the end of a long run of 10 miles for this one. Ouch!
And of course in heat (the summer means more light, but I'll only be getting the last hours, so perhaps cool weather will have settled in)
So that's it - the course!
My Goals for the IronMan
It is my 2nd IronMan, so I have a sense of the emotional and physical turmoil...and can try and put in a couple of goals for pace and time. Of course, finishing healthy and strong is the main goal. The rest is a bonus.
Staying steady to my prior IronMan pace
Total 14:00 = Swim 1:45, Bike 7:00, Run 5:00, Transitions 0:15
(this was a flat course, so doing this on a hillacious course and in super heat will be wonderful)
The best I could do (or at least can dream for!)
Total 12:00 = Swim = 1:30, Bike 6:00, Run 4:15, Transitions 0:15
(yes this is crazy, so more of the best ultimate stretch goal)
Paces needed for stretch goals - Bike at 19 mph, Run at 9:30 min/miles - yes a stretch indeed!

One of the most important aspects of growing as a musician is feeling at ease with the instrument you’re playing. During your buying trip, you’ll note that one of the most important decisions you’ll have to make is between a 3/4 size guitar vs full-size guitar.
Many guitar learners had to choose between 3/4-string guitars and full-size guitars since both are beneficial at different phases.
Before deciding on the best size for you, there are several factors to consider. This 3/4 size guitar vs full-size guitar comparison examines the differences between the two guitar models to help you decide which is the better bet for you.
3/4 Size Guitar Vs. Full-Size Guitar: Differences
Below is what distinguishes a 3/4 size guitar from a full-size guitar.
Full-size guitars measure 39 x 15 inches on average, while 3/4-size guitars measure 36 x 13 inches. A full-size guitar’s scale length is around 25 inches, while a 3/4 guitar’s scale length falls between 20 and 24 inches.
The size of a guitar, especially an acoustic guitar, significantly influences how it sounds.
The bottom end of 3/4-size acoustic guitars is less pronounced, the middle is punchier, and the high-end glitter is spectacular. They’re also a tad quieter than their larger counterparts, making them ideal for cutting through a mix in a live band or a studio.
Full-size acoustic guitars feature a deeper bass, higher volume, and a vast dynamic range. Thanks to its wide frequency range, it will be a go-to instrument if you’re a solo artist.
Moreover, a full-size guitar generates a rich, distinctive tone, but 3/4 guitars cannot sometimes match that sound due to the loose strings. Unskilled players could unintentionally bend strings hence altering the sound of a power chord.
Even though 3/4 guitars are not taxing on the fingertips, you may need to tune them once every hour.
Additionally, the size of a solid body electric guitar has little bearing on the sound. Even though you’ll frown at a loss in low-end resonance, electric guitars are significantly less extreme in terms of tone than acoustic ones.
3/4 size guitars sport a shorter scale length (the distance between the bridge and the nut) than full-size ones. The scale length determines the length of the guitar and offers a workable range of the strings.
4. The Appropriate User
Taking a player’s age into account is a quick way to figure out what guitar size is appropriate for them. Youngsters aged 8 to 12 should choose the 3/4 guitars, while full-size guitars will suit adults.
Moreover, a 3/4 guitar is appropriate for guitarists standing between 4’6″, and 4’11”, whereas the full-sized guitar is suitable for those above 5′ height.
If you’re short but with long arms, a full-size guitar would be the best fit for you, but if you’re tall with short arms, a 3/4 guitar will suffice.
5. Level Of Expertise
You’ve probably heard some people recommend 3/4 guitars to new guitarists. It doesn’t necessarily mean they are easier to play than their full-size counterparts.
Beginners are usually adolescents or younger. Therefore, it’s sensible for them to begin with a smaller, easier-to-manage instrument.
If the guitar looks to be a decent fit for you and you feel at ease playing it, it is most likely the correct size for you.
Carrying a guitar from one location to another can be an arduous task, especially when boarding a flight. That explains why in a choice between 3/4 size guitar vs. full-size Guitar, many traveling and touring artists choose the 3/4 guitars.
They take up far less room, making them simple to store when not in use.
These instruments are frequently a little lighter. As a result, these guitars are simpler to hold, whether walking or playing.
Is It Easier to Play ¾ Guitars?
Guitars with shorter scale lengths have reduced string tension, facilitating string bending and making it easy to push down the strings.
Additionally, 3/4 size guitars have smaller frets and reduced nut width, resulting in closer string spacing. It makes gripping chords a bit simpler for people with tiny hands.
These features make 3/4 guitars a joy to play, especially for people with tiny hands or learning to play.
Is A ¾ Guitar Good For Beginners?
I strongly advise newbies aspiring to master playing the guitar to start with a 3/4 size one. They’re perfect for beginners, thanks to their size and string tension, and they’re also great for grownups who want to learn to play the guitar.
Furthermore, 3/4 guitars are less costly than their full-size counterparts, thus making them a more secure investment for beginners. They’re also small and portable, so you can carry them everywhere to perform or practice.
Should I Get A Full Size Or 3/4 Guitar?
It all boils down to your money, your degree of skill, and the type of music you want to play.
If you’re a beginner searching for a low-cost, comfortable, and enjoyable guitar to train on, I recommend a 34 guitar. However, I believe that if you are a pro who owns full-sized acoustics, you stand to gain from the tones that a smaller-bodied acoustic may provide.
If you are a solo performer or a songwriter, a full-sized guitar will meet your musical needs thanks to its deeper and more resonant sound. Furthermore, full-size guitars don’t disappoint when it comes to the arena of electric guitars.
1. Are 3/4 Guitars For Adults?
Although 3/4-sized guitars target children between 8 to 12 years, they are also appropriate for adults. Adult guitarists and experienced ones are increasingly choosing to play 3/4 size guitars due to their punchy sound and smaller size.
2. How Many Frets Does A 3/4 Acoustic Guitar Have?
It largely depends on the model and the manufacturer.
Some 3/4 guitars, such as the BT2 Taylor Guitar (View on Amazon), feature 19 frets, while the Taylor Guitar comes with 20 frets and has a larger body.
3. Do 3/4 Guitars Need Different Strings?
Both 3/4 and full-size guitars feature similar strings. Sadly, these inexpensive child instruments aren’t the best, meaning you may have to force your child to cope with them until he’s old enough to play yours.
In the meantime, normal acoustic strings should suffice.
4. What’s a 3/4 Size Guitar?
3/4 size guitars, aka 36-inch guitars, are designed for students aged 8 to 11. The most popular student guitars for youngsters and youth are the 3/4 and 1/2 size guitars.
5. Can You Put Full-Size Strings On A 3/4 Guitar?
Yes, you can employ full-size strings on a 3/4 sized guitar. However, expect the string tension to be lower than a conventional scale length guitar.
There are benefits and drawbacks to doing so.
6. How Much Smaller Is A 3/4 Guitar?
3/4 guitars have a scale length of approximately 23′′ (58.4 cm) and an average length of around 36′′ (91.4 cm).
7. Is A 3/4 Guitar Standard Tuning?
If 3/4 size guitars employ the right strings, they will work nicely in standard tunes.
8. Are 3/4 Guitars Easier?
Children frequently use 3/4-sized guitars since they are significantly easier to play with than full-size ones. The compact design allows kids to reach the fretboard safely by reaching over the body.
3/4 Size Guitar Vs. Full-Size Guitar: Final Thoughts
There isn’t a simple answer to which size guitar is preferable. It’s more about figuring out whatever instrument is ideal for you.
Consider your stature and size, how you want to play, and other comparable factors while picking your model. It will help you narrow down your options and make the best decision between a 3/4 and a full-sized guitar.

Model Predictive Control, Economic Optimization, Large-Scale HVAC Case Study
Commercial buildings account for $200 billion per year in energy expenditures, with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems accounting for most of these costs. In energy markets with time-varying prices and peak demand charges, a significant potential for cost savings is provided by using thermal energy storage to shift energy loads. Since most implementations of HVAC control systems do not optimize energy costs, they have become a primary focus for new strategies aimed at economic optimization. Model predictive control (MPC) has emerged as one popular method to achieve this load shifting, while respecting system constraints. MPC uses a model of the system to make predictions and to solve an optimization problem. Much research has shown the benefits of MPC over alternative strategies for HVAC control . However, some industrial applications, such as large research centers or university campuses, are too large to be solved in a single MPC instance. Decompositions have been proposed in the literature, but it is difficult to evaluate and to compare decompositions against one another when using different systems. In this paper, we present a large-scale relevant case study where solving a single MPC optimization problem is neither desirable nor feasible for real-time implementations. The study is modeled after the Stanford University campus, consisting of both an airside and waterside system . The airside system includes 500 zones spread throughout 25 campus buildings along with the air handler units and regulatory building automation system used for temperature regulation. The waterside system includes the central plant equipment, such as chillers, that is used to meet the load from the buildings. Active thermal energy storage is available to the campus in addition to the passive thermal energy storage present in the form of building mass. The airside models describe the temperature dynamics in each of the 500 zones, and the waterside models describe the power consumption of the central plant equipment. The aim of the control system is to minimize costs in the presence of time-varying electricity prices and a peak demand charge as well as environmental disturbances such as weather while meeting constraints on comfort and equipment. We perform an economic optimization of the entire campus using a hierarchical system with distributed airside controllers to demonstrate the potential savings. The models from this case study are made publicly available for other researchers interested in designing alternative control strategies for managing chilled water production to meet airside loads. The aim of the case study release is to provide a standardized problem for the research community. A benchmark is provided for evaluating performance. References  A. Afram and F. Janabi-Sharifi.
