Brad Pitt has heaped praise on his ex-fiancée Gwyneth Paltrow’s father, insisting he still follows advice given to him by the late director.
The Hollywood hunk dated Paltrow in the mid-1990s, and the couple was briefly engaged before splitting in 1997.
Despite 15 years, a marriage to Jennifer Aniston and six kids with his current fiancée Angelina Jolie, Pitt admits Bruce Paltrow’s tip to refer to himself as “self-employed” rather than “an actor” has kept him grounded.

He tells Esquire magazine, “I learned that from Bruce Paltrow. I always liked it. It’s a humble way to describe what we do. (If a stranger asks what I do) well, I’d be very Midwest about it, very Missouri. I’d say, ‘This and that.’ I’d say, ‘I’m a dad, just like you.’”

Hollywood star Brad Pitt gave fans in New Jersey a treat by showing up unannounced at a screening of his new zombie movie.
The audience was settling down to watch Pitt’s apocalyptic horror “World War Z” when the actor walked into the theatre at Clearview Cinemas in Hoboken.
He handed out T-shirts to the delighted crowd before giving a short introduction to the movie, in which he plays a United Nations employee interviewing survivors of a zombie outbreak.
A source tells gossip website Just Jared, “Brad wanted to make sure that the screening was for the fans, the people that he made the film for. The crowd went wild when he showed up and he had T-shirts to hand out to his fans.
“He made sure to give New Jersey a big shout out before the movie started!”

Brad Pitt regularly leaves his children squirming with disgust when he showers their mom Angelina Jolie with affection.
The actors rarely have any alone time as they are constantly juggling their parenting commitments with their busy work schedules, but Pitt’s pal Frank Pollaro, who owns a furniture business with the Moneyball hunk, reveals the couple is still crazy about each other after eight years together.
He tells Esquire magazine, “Once I walked in and Angie was standing there and (8-year-old daughter) Zahara walked up and said, ‘Daddy, you’re not going to start making out with Mommy again, are you?’ And it’s like that. This is a guy who has tried not to do any sexy scenes with other women since he’s met Angelina. He’s crazy about her, and she’s the same way about him.”
And the designer insists the stars are also beyond dedicated to their six boys and girls: “No matter how hard he’s working, if one of those kids runs by the window he’ll get out of his chair and give them a kiss. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen Angie without one of those children in her arms.”

Brad Pitt is happier than ever after reducing his friendship circle and concentrating on his family.
The actor is a father of six with fiancée Angelina Jolie, and admits he has never felt as content as when he spends time with his brood and immediate relatives.
In a new interview with Esquire, he says, “I have very few friends. I have a handful of close friends and I have my family and I haven’t known life to be any happier. I’m making things. I just haven’t known life to be any happier.”
And the star admits he hates the void his kids leave when they are not with him – even when they are at their noisiest.
He adds, “I always thought that if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to do it big. I wanted there to be chaos in the house … there’s constant chatter in our house, whether it’s giggling or screaming or crying or banging. I love it. I love it. I love it. I hate it when they’re gone. I hate it. Maybe it’s nice to be in a hotel room for a day – ‘Oh, nice, I can finally read a paper.’ But then, by the next day, I miss that cacophony, all that life.”
Pitt also discusses his drug use, saying “For a long time I thought I did too much damage – drug damage. I was a bit of a drifter. A guy who felt he grew up in something of a vacuum and wanted to see things, wanted to be inspired. I followed that other thing. I spent years f— off. But then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity.”
Pitt’s family is currently recovering from Jolie’s double mastectomy, which the actress decided to undergo in February after doctors estimated she had an 87 percent chance of developing breast cancer.

Brad Pitt has praised partner Angelina Jolie for her “heroic” decision to undergo a double mastectomy earlier this year.
On Tuesday, the Oscar-winning actress revealed to the world that she had both of her breasts removed in February as a preventative measure after doctors warned her she carries the “faulty” gene BRCA1.
Before the operation Jolie had an 87 percent risk of contracting breast cancer, and in her article for the New York Times she revealed Pitt’s support had been integral in getting their family through such a tough time.
Now the Fight Club star himself has released a statement thanking his partner for going ahead with surgery for the sake of their six children.
He tells the London Evening Standard, “Having witnessed this decision firsthand, I find Angie’s choice, as well as so many others like her, absolutely heroic. I thank our medical team for their care and focus. All I want for is for her to have a long and healthy life, with myself and our children. This is a happy day for our family.”
Jolie’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died in 2007 at the age of 56 after battling ovarian cancer for almost a decade.

Ugandan government is now at risk of losing its main state assets to China over unpaid huge increasing loans from Chinese government.
But according to Ugandan government, the growing debt is sustainable, and the country is not at risk of losing state assets to China, the country’s finance minister, Matia Kasaija.
African Stand reported in December last year that Kenyan government risks losing the lucrative Mombasa port to China if the country fail to repay huge loans advanced by Chinese lenders, but both Chinese and Kenyan officials have dismissed that the port’s ownership is at risk.
Others think Chinese government are in some ways gangsters, taking over mines all over Africa, sending thousands of Chinese workers, destroy environment, bring the minerals such as copper, sink, gold, silver, diamonds etc home, and make deals with corrupt politicians to plunder the countries.
“The case is one of the examples of China’s ambitious use of loans and aid to gain influence around the world and of its willingness to play hardball to collect,” says the New York Times in December 12, 2017.
At a time in Somalia when local fishermen are struggling to compete with foreign vessels that are depleting fishing stocks, the government has granted 31 fishing licenses to China.
But Uganda’s auditor-general warned in a report released this month that public debt from June 2017 to 2018 had increased from $9.1 billion to $11.1 billion.
The report — without naming China — warned that conditions placed on major loans were a threat to Uganda’s sovereign assets.

DANCE STUDIOS are being rebranded, and the names are changing too.
The name of the new company, Dance Studio Inc., has been changed from Millennium to Dance Studio.
The company, which is part of a larger company called The Millenium, was founded in the early 1970s by a group of dance music musicians who wanted to open up a more open music industry.
A number of people from dance music started going to dance studios, and that opened the door to the idea that a studio could be a place where people could go to record their music.
That’s how the dance studios came to be called Millennium.
And the new name comes from a quote by the late music producer Quincy Jones.
Dance Studios are a name you don’t hear often in music, but it’s something that’s very important to me, and it has to do with how we are all connected.
There are a lot of people in the world that do not know that dance studios are open to people from all walks of life.
I have no idea why they are not being named Millennium Dance Studios.
And I’m really glad that there is a name.DANCE STUDIO has a lot more to offer than just music, with an extensive portfolio of classes.
It has programs in music composition, music technology, film and television, dance and theater, and even photography.
The new company will offer classes in film and video editing, video production, digital media, performance, and visual arts.
Dancers will also be able to learn about new technologies such as drones, wearable technology, drones, virtual reality, and more.
The company is currently in the process of adding a third program, which will be focused on dance training.
It will take some time to figure out exactly what the next stage is going to be, but we’re going to keep innovating, working together, and trying to help the dance community flourish.
We will continue to offer classes that are not just about music, like the art of dance, and we’re excited to be expanding to teach more than just dance.DANCING STUDIANS will also continue to be able find out about dance classes.
Dancing Studios is part, in part, of the Millennium Dance Foundation, a nonprofit organization that aims to encourage and expand dance studios around the world.
The foundation is making its debut with a new dance studio in New York City, which it opened earlier this year.
The new studio will be a part of Millennium Dance Studio in New Jersey, a new studio in Washington, D.C., and an expansion of the New York Studio.
The New York studio is currently open to artists in New England, and is the only one in the country to be open to all of New York.
There will also still be a dance studio located in Los Angeles.

Mark Wahlberg's hate crimes resurface after George Floyd tribute
Mark Wahlberg’s history of hate crimes has resurfaced after the actor posted a tribute to George Floyd.
Last week, the Ted actor took to social media to share a tribute to Floyd, who died in Minneapolis on May 25 when white police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck.
Chauvin has since been sacked and charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter. Three of his colleagues, Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J Alexander Keung, are now all facing charges of aiding and abetting second-degree murder, and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter.
Sharing an image of Floyd, Wahlberg wrote: “The murder of George Floyd is heartbreaking. We must all work together to fix this problem. I’m praying for all of us. God bless. #blacklivesmatter”.
However, many have brought up the actor’s own history of hate crimes, notably a series of incidents in the 1980s.

The murder of George Floyd is heartbreaking. We must all work together to fix this problem. I'm praying for all of us. God bless. ❤?❤#blacklivesmatter
In 1986, a 15-year-old Wahlberg and three friends chased after three black children and pelted them with rocks while shouting “kill the n*****s” before an ambulance driver intervened. He also harassed a group of mostly black children the following day at a beach, gathering other white men to join in racially abusing them and throwing rocks.
He was found guilty of violating the civil rights of his victims, and a civil rights injunction was issued against him and two of his friends before the case was settled the following month.
Two years later in 1988, he attacked two Vietnamese men, Thanh Lam and Johnny Trinh, knocking the former unconscious with a wooden stick and punching the latter in the eye. It was reported by officers that Wahlberg had made racist slurs to describe both men.
He was charged with attempted murder, but pleaded guilty to felony assault and was sentenced to two years in jail, though ended-up spending 45 days in prison.
Wahlberg attempted to seek a pardon for the second attack in 2014 to have it struck from his criminal record, saying: “I am deeply sorry for the actions that I took on the night of April 8, 1988, as well as for any lasting damage that I may have caused the victims. Since that time, I have dedicated myself to becoming a better person and citizen so that I can be a role model to my children and others.”
He told the Associated Press at the time: “I have apologised, many times. The first opportunity I had to apologise was right there in court when all the dust had settled and I was getting shackled and taken away, and making sure I paid my debt to society and continue to try and do things that make up for the mistakes that I’ve made.”
However, he dropped the request in 2016 and that he regretted asking for it, telling TheWrap: “I didn’t need that, I spent 28 years righting the wrong. I didn’t need a piece of paper to acknowledge it. I was kind of pushed into doing it, I certainly didn’t need to or want to relive that stuff over again.”
NME has reached out to Wahlberg’s representative for comment.

We had great fun at my doll club yesterday- we made dorset buttons.
The pink one is mine- slightly off centered. The multi-colored wool one was made by Jean who was sitting next to me.
I thought I had some of these type of handmade buttons in my collection but I couldn’t find any. Of course that doesn’t mean I don’t have them somewhere! I did find these buttons though-
The white button on the top right-hand side is the closest. It is made on a ring. The other button look like they were crocheted and they were all made on those forms in the middle of the pic. The top form looks like it is made of bone. The two lower ones are wood. Here are some close-ups-
If you are interested in making some yourself, I just googled “dorset buttons” to try to get some kind of history and discovered many tutorials.

in which I describe in painful detail, how undeterred by the warning shot over the bow from my sister's scarf fiasco, I heedlessly waded in and committed myself to knitting another scarf and found myself once again adrift in the shallow end of the Pooling Colors Scarf.
In case there are any doubters out there that remain unconvinced of my scarf knitting deficiency, I submit for you exhibit B, a further exegesis of my scarf knitting ineptitude.
A little over a year ago I was intrigued by a scarf knit by another blogger, (I'm thinking it was Renee but I'm not sure.) It was a Pooling Colors Scarf by Lori Gayle by from the Fall 2004 issue of Interweave
Lori Gayle discovered that it was possible to knit certain skeins of hand dyed yarn such as "Anne" by Schaefer Yarns, in such a way that the colors "pool" into vertical stripes.
This idea piqued my interest and I wanted to knit this scarf. Now, all I needed was someone to knit the scarf for, someone who likes scarfs, someone who had a birthday coming up at sometime, someone like....*scans room for
Ani likes scarfs, Ani has a birthday and Ani likes it when I knit her things. Ani, however, when I showed her what I wanted to knit for her was not as convinced as I was that this scarf was destined to be hers, but I assured her this scarf had her name written all over it. ;)
All she needed to do was choose the colorway, so she chose a skein in oranges and browns, breaking from her usual black, black, and black on black.
Not needing any more reason than that to start a new project (rarely needing any reason at all, to begin a new project), I dove right in and after a little fiddling with needle size and casting on methods, I managed to work with the yarn to get the colors to pool consistently in a garter stitch.
The pattern suggests size us 5 needles and 41 stitches. This worked pretty well once I remembered to knit the first stitch and not slip the first stitch as I usually like to do.
I was beginning to think this was going to be a breeze. I was "getting gauge" rather quickly and things were moving along just swimmingly. This was going well, too well, that should have been my first warning.
I never learn.
It's only when I left the safety of the garter stitch pattern and attempted to knit the scarf's stitch pattern that the bottom dropped out on me.
The pattern that Lori uses is a reversible pattern. It uses yo's and has you purling three stitches together. Which is okay, but because of the way I knit, in order for me to purl three stitches together I would have to rearrange the position of the three stitches each time that I purled three stitches together. This pattern though not difficult was going to be awkward and slow going, I decided pretty quickly that this stitch pattern wasn't going to work for me if I ever intended to finish this scarf...ever. ( Is it getting hot in here? I think the irony is on, I can smell it.)
I'm a pretty patient person as these things go, but this was going to put that to the test and I just wasn't in the mood to test the limits of my patience. I still wanted to knit the scarf but I was going to have to find a different stitch pattern to do it.
So I did what I usually do when I am out of my depths and don't know how to proceed. I pulled the whole thing apart and dropped it into my knitting bag and I left it there until
In theory finding another pattern shouldn't be difficult, in theory. The problem is in order to keep the effect of the colors pooling in vertical stripes the number of stitches must remain the same, in this case 41 stitches.
Even number stitch patterns won't work unless it's an even number stitch pattern + 1. So 10 stitch repeat + 1 would give 4 pattern repeats and a 8 stitch +1 would give 5.
A 12 stitch repeat doesn't work, a three or nine works if you knit the first and last stitch.
Cabling or traveling stitches don't work with this scarf. Having only the one skein to work with a lace pattern would make the scarf longer and I wanted to have a pattern that accented the stripe effect of the pooling colors and it would be nice if the pattern were reversable. That's not asking for too much.
"Really Ani, I was gonna knit you that scarf and all but then
it got all like -this is hard! -you know?"
After pouring over all the stupid stitch patterns that I could find and swatching numerous times I settled on a fairly simple pattern with yarn overs and knit 3 togethers instead of purl three together, would you believe the first pattern I tried after I abandoned the written pattern?
One time could just be a fluke, but twice, now twice getting hung up on a scarf knitting project, Well, that...that...that...Well, I don't know? That's more than a fluke, don't you think? You know, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice... I forget the rest, but you know what I mean, don't you?
So with this new year upon us, I am determined to resolve my scarf knitting issues and finish knitting these two scarfs, so I can hopefully move on to more interesting and entertaining fair and hopefully find myself in more safer waters, maybe something easier to knit like a Fair Isle Cardigan or Latvian mittens or something.
My goal is to have Ani's scarf finished to give to her for her birthday on Sunday. I have been working daily on the scarf, currently it is about 2 feet long, wish me luck.

One of the great things about cooking for my dog, is that he LOVES everything I make! The same cannot be said for the rest of my family...
I have been cooking Harry's meals for the last year and a half due to his ongoing issues with liver disease. I recently started making some of his treats as well and want to share with you a basic dog treat recipe. This is a compilation/adaption of a few recipes I found online.
Add in some extra tasty ingredients to take these treats from basic to gourmet!
Basic Dog Treats
2 cups brown rice flour
3/4 cups quick whole grain oats
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Add Ins (choose one or more of the following):
1/4 cup unsweetened peanut butter
1/4 cup canned unsweetened pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup diced cranberries, blueberries or other firm fruit
1. Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl whisk water, oil and eggs. Add any 'wet' Add Ins, if using.
3. In a large bowl stir together the brown rice flour and oats. Make a well in the center of this mixture and add in the wet ingredients.
4. Sir well and when the mixture resembles cookie dough (you may need to add a little more water) fold in the diced fruit, if using. Mix until combined.
5. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and form into a ball. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it's about 1/3 of an inch thick. Cut out shapes and place on the cookie tray.
6. Bake treats for 17-20 minutes.
7. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
I made Harry's treats today using unsweetened dried cranberries. He loves them, of course!
Harry gives this recipe 9 paws out of 10!
Enjoy your pets,

Player of the Game
It is rare a relief pitcher wins player of the game in a win, but they are rarely as good as Cody Allen was today. He pitched a perfect tenth, making an incredible diving catch and striking out two. After the Indians got the lead in the top of the 11th, Allen came back in to pitch the bottom of the inning and struck out another without allowing a hit. He earned the win in the game, his third of the season.
Corey Kluber had a decent start today, but it was marred by a very small strike zone, possibly costing Kluber a run early on. He allowed five hits and four walks in 5.1 innings, but multiple times it seemed he had struck the batter out, only to have Chris Guccione call the pitch a ball. The strike zone has been a huge issue this entire season with Red Sox pitchers getting calls well outside the zone with the Indians getting pinched all around.
Michael Brantley started the game red hot, then cooled down some, but was still the best Tribe player today. His first inning solo home run provided the Indians with an early lead and half their runs for through regulartion, then he threw out David Ortiz trying to get a double in the bottom of the inning, helping limit the Sox to just one run that inning. He added a single later in the game to go 2-4 on the night with a contested strike out looking.
Marc Rzepczynski came in to relieve Kluber and threw 1.2 scoreless innings, his best outing since April 21st (1 IP, K, pick off, hold and an inherited runner stranded). This time, he did allow a single and a steal, but stranded Kluber’s runner and induced a double play, striking out one as well. He had struggled after pitching in three consecutive games, but has had at least one game off between his last five and is starting to look like his old self. Bryan Shaw also pitched well, throwing a perfect eighth with one strike out, despite throwing in three consecutive games in Boston.
A lack of clutch hitting pushed the Indians into extras again, but this time Nick Swisher came through with his first home run since May 16th. In the top of the 11th inning, Swisher took an inside fast ball from Junichi Tazawa out to right to give the Indians a 3-2 lead, their first since the middle of the first.
Wasted opportunities continued to haunt the Indians today as they had runners on first and second in both the fourth and fifth innings, but were unable to score. In the fourth, Michael Brantley and Jason Kipnis singled with one out, but Lonnie Chisenhall struck out and Nick Swisher ended the inning by flying out to left. After that, Carlos Santana doubled and Yan Gomes was hit by a pitch to repeat the situation with one out an inning later. This time it was Michael Bourn who struck out, after which, Asdrubal Cabrera ended the inning. With runners on first and third in the seventh and no outs, the Indians did get a Gomes sacrifice fly to tie the game, but they are still without an hit with runners in scoring position over the past two games.
The boy in blue behind the plate cost the Indians all day, but one of the biggest came in the ninth inning against John Axford. Axford had already struck out two and walked two and was looking to get out of the inning with Jackie Bradley Jr. at the plate. Axford threw a pitch on the inside corner in the middle of the strike zone and for the third time in the night, a Boston batter was given extra life as Bradley walked to first instead of being called out on strikes. Luckily for the Tribe, Scott Atchison was able to come in and induce a ground ball to second, that Jason Kipnis made a tremendous play on, to strand all three runners and force extra innings.
Final Score: Cleveland Indians 3 – Boston Red Sox 2
On Deck: Another four game series is on tap as the Angels will come to Cleveland starting Monday at 7:05 PM.


Curious or confused about flat panel speakers? Join us on a journey as we explore their diverse types, from classic electrostatic speakers to cutting-edge piezo innovations. We will summarize their working principles, unique advantages and disadvantages. These sleek devices seamlessly blend aesthetics with exceptional audio performance, transforming the way we experience sound.
Types of Flat Panel Speakers
What is a flat panel speaker? As the name suggests, flat panel speakers utilize the vibrations of a flat panel or membrane to produce sound, distinguishing them from traditional cone-based speakers. This unique design has earned them the moniker of flat diaphragm speakers. Flat panel speakers employ various working principles to generate these vibrations, including electrodynamic, ribbon, electrostatic, and piezoelectric technologies. As a result, flat panel speakers can be categorized based on these diverse working principles.
1. Ribbon speakers
At the core of flat panel speakers lies a thin and conductive ribbon, serving as both the diaphragm and voice coil. Positioned within a transverse magnetic field generated by two permanent magnets and supported at each end, the ribbon speaker comes alive when an electrical current flows through it, creating sound through its interaction with the magnetic field. With its remarkably thin and lightweight design, the ribbon speaker excels in reproducing high frequencies with outstanding accuracy, making it a preferred choice for tweeters.
Within the realm of ribbon speakers, we encounter the fascinating domain of quasi-ribbon speakers, including notable offerings from Magnepan. These variations combine ribbons with a thin plastic film, typically made of polyester, which vibrates in response to the ribbon’s movements, thus generating sound waves. Quasi-ribbon speakers excel in delivering exceptional clarity and transparency, immersing listeners in a vast and captivating soundstage.
- Pros: Ribbon speakers boast a unique design that unravels unparalleled clarity and transient response, unveiling the most intricate audio details. The sound is highly transparent, and the expansive soundstage creates a captivating listening experience. Additionally, ribbon tweeters offer superior directivity compared to dome tweeters.
- Cons: Bass response may not match that of traditional cone speakers, but it can be augmented by incorporating a regular subwoofer. Moreover, ribbon speakers often come with a higher price tag compared to other speaker types. This is primarily due to their manufacturing process, which relies heavily on manual labor and lacks the efficiency of mass production methods.
2. Electrostatic speakers
Electrostatic speakers operate on the principle of electrostatic attraction and repulsion. Thin conductive diaphragms, sandwiched between charged stators, vibrate in response to the audio signal. This design enables detailed and transparent sound reproduction, often delivering an immersive listening experience. The simplicity of the electrostatic speaker design has sparked numerous DIY projects, allowing enthusiasts to explore and experiment with this technology.
- Pros: Electrostatic speakers, like ribbon speakers, excel in transparency and accuracy, making them well-suited for vocal, classical, and jazz genres. Their ability to faithfully reproduce intricate details of the audio enhances the listening experience.
- Cons: Electrostatic speakers have limited bass response, but this can be supplemented by incorporating a regular subwoofer. Additionally, over time, dust and debris may accumulate in the gap between the membrane and the stators, necessitating regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
3. Electrodynamic flat panel speakers
Another class of flat panel speakers utilizes electrodynamic exciter technology. These exciters closely resemble the drivers found in traditional cone speakers, comprising a voice coil and a permanent magnet. However, instead of driving a cone-shaped diaphragm, they power a flat panel. The primary purpose of employing a flat panel is to address the limited directivity associated with cone speakers, allowing for high-quality sound reproduction over a wider listening angle.
Flat diaphragm speakers vs. flat panel speakers
Flat diaphragm speakers are a subset of flat panel speakers. Smaller diaphragms in flat panel speakers are often constructed to be highly rigid to avoid resonance, employing materials such as composites with honeycomb cores. This design enables the diaphragm to move uniformly, akin to a piston. Additionally, the diaphragm is supported along its perimeter using a soft rubber surround, similar to what is found in conventional cone speakers. Tectonic is one of the companies that specializes in commercializing this type of speaker technology.
Distributed Mode Loudspeakers (DML)
Speakers with larger flat diaphragms often feature a different structure. The diaphragm or panel is typically supported at the corners or suspended freely, enabling a free boundary condition that encourages greater resonance within the panel. One or more exciters are attached to the panel using double-sided tape, and the mechanical integration relies solely on this adhesive connection, eliminating the need for additional mechanical support. This simple design has made it a popular choice for DIY projects showcased on platforms like YouTube. In fact, the design can be as straightforward as attaching an exciter to a pink insulation board from Home Depot. These speakers are also known as Distributed Mode Loudspeakers (DML), emphasizing their unique sound distribution characteristics.
How to improve the bass response of a DML
In order to examine the impact of exciters on the performance of the flat panel speaker, a brief experiment was conducted. Three distinct exciter models from Dayton, namely 5W, 24W, and 40W, were utilized. The exciter was affixed to a 24″x16″x1/3″ pink foam board. Sound Pressure Level (SPL) was measured using REW software and the results are displayed below.
The impact of the panel on the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) was also examined. For this purpose, we attached a 5W exciter to pink foam panels of three different sizes: 24″x24″x1″ (large), 24″x16″x1/3″ (medium), and 16″x12″x1/4″ (small). The measurements were conducted to assess the influence of panel size on SPL.
Based on the above results, it is evident that both the panels and exciters play a significant role in shaping the acoustic performance of flat panel speakers. In general, most combinations exhibit good mid-range frequency response. However, they tend to lack in bass response, particularly noticeable with the 5W exciter on the small panel. This deficiency can be attributed to both the exciter and the panel. The 5W exciter’s resonance frequency may not be sufficiently low, which hinders its ability to deliver satisfactory low-frequency response. Adjusting the spider stiffness can help reduce the resonance frequency, but excessive adjustments may adversely affect high-frequency response. Panel size also affects bass response, as larger and thicker panels provide better mechanical coupling with the exciter, lowering the system’s resonance frequency and extending the frequency response to the lower end.
Another observation is the non-flat SPL curves with dips and peaks, particularly in the low-frequency range, indicating the presence of panel resonance modes. Optimizing the panel shape and the attachment location of the exciter are crucial in minimizing these effects, although this aspect falls beyond the scope of this article.
Furthermore, all configurations exhibit weaker frequency response at the very high end (>15kHz), as the exciters are not specifically designed for this frequency range. Achieving optimal acoustic performance for flat panel speakers necessitates the optimization of both the exciter and panel characteristics.
- Pros: Like ribbon and electrostatic speakers, flat panel speakers provide a transparent sound quality. When constructed with lightweight materials such as foam board, they can exhibit high sensitivity compared to cone speakers, allowing them to fill larger spaces with sound even with a small 5W amplifier. Furthermore, flat panel speakers offer convenient integration options using double-sided tape.
- Cons: One drawback of flat panel speakers is their limited response in very low (<100 Hz) and very high frequency ranges (>15 kHz). However, as discussed previously, this can be improved by carefully optimizing both the exciter and the panel. It is important to note that the weight of the exciters may pose challenges for adhesive attachment using double-sided tape, especially under high ambient temperatures, which could result in tape creep. In such cases, alternative integration methods like using screws can be considered.
4. Piezo flat panel speakers
These speakers are similar to electrodynamic flat panel loudspeakers, with the key difference being the use of a piezo exciter to vibrate the panel instead of an electrodynamic one. Piezo exciters are generally thinner and more efficient compared to electrodynamic ones, with thicknesses as low as 1mm and up to three times greater efficiency. However, these piezoelectric speakers are not as popular due to the limitations of piezo exciters in generating sufficient sound pressure. Additionally, they often lack bass response due to the low displacement characteristics of piezoelectric exciters.
Our advanced piezo exciter, Dragonfly™, presents a solution to these challenges. The chart below demonstrates its remarkable performance when attached to a 16″x12″x1/4″ foam panel, delivering a wide frequency range from 60 to 20 kHz and generating high sound pressure levels. Generally, SPL curve of the piezo flat panel speaker shows more variation with peaks and dips than the electrodynamic one. This is due to combination of resonance modes of both the piezo exciter and the panel. However, through optimization techniques such as adjusting the mounting location and panel material, or utilizing equalization, this can be effectively mitigated. With its exceptional capabilities, Dragonfly™ emerges as an excellent choice for various applications, including automotive, aerospace, and display technologies.
- Pros: Piezo speakers offer several advantages over electrodynamic panel speakers, including a lightweight and thin form factor, as well as high efficiency. They maintain the benefits of transparency and accuracy found in electrodynamic flat panel speakers.
- Cons: Designing piezo speakers to achieve a full frequency range can be challenging. They generally have lower power and lower sound output pressure levels compared to other speaker types. However, with further optimization and careful design considerations, these limitations can be mitigated as demonstrated with the Dragonfly™.
As technology continues to advance, flat panel speakers are at the forefront of audio innovation. Their ability to blend seamlessly into various environments, coupled with their impressive sound reproduction capabilities, opens up a world of possibilities for both audio enthusiasts and professionals. Whether you seek the transparency of ribbon speakers, the versatility of electrodynamic exciters, the efficiency and full range capability of piezo exciters, or the immersive experience of electrostatic speakers, the realm of flat panel speakers has something to offer for everyone.

This paper argues that the usage of the "time" variable as a convenient explanatory variable on the horizontal axis of the product life cycle graph has diverted attention from a thorough analysis of the factors which influence the shape and length of the PLC. The paper addresses the issues of definition of "product" and "product life" as well as reviewing existing commentry on curve shape as a precursor to exmining the relevant issues relating to the PLC shape and length. Drawing on the body of insight provided by sales forecasting and diffusion theory as well as the standard PLC literature this paper endeavours to present a clearer understanding of the factors which truly explain the PLC shape and length utilising four broad sets of factors, viz. product characteristics, marketing strategies employed, external environmental factors and market-related factors. It contends that the explanation of the PLC shape and length is found not merely in analysing the four broad sets of factors, but perhaps more importantly in the various interactions between these sets of factors. In doing so, it refutes the notion of the PLC as being time dependent per se and reemphasises the strategic role of management in affecting changes over the life cycle.

It took Seton Hall two days to beat Providence, but it was well worth the wait.
Khadeen Carrington scored 25 points and Myles Powell added 20 to help the Pirates beat the Friars 89-77 in a game that began Wednesday night at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center and ended Thursday afternoon at Alumni Hall in Providence, R.I.
The game was suspended Wednesday with 13:03 left in the second half and Seton Hall up 56-47 after condensation on the Dunkin’ Donuts Center floor made the court unplayable. The arena also serves as the home of the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League.
The game was moved to nearby Alumni Hall and restarted at noon ET Thursday.
Angel Delgado finished with 14 points and 11 boards and Ismael Sanogo had 11 and eight for Seton Hall (19-9, 8-7 Big East), which won its second straight game after its season-worst, four-game losing streak.
Kyron Cartwright had 25 points with six assists for Providence (17-11, 8-7). Rodney Bullock scored 13 points and Alpha Diallo totaled 10 and eight boards as the Friars were defeated for the fifth time in eight games.
The contest had NCAA Tournament implications for both teams. The Pirates are a projected No. 9 seed and the Friars are a No. 10 seed in the latest NCAA tourney projections from ESPN’s Joe Lunardi.
Taking advantage of an extra night’s rest, Providence trimmed its deficit to one point on Thursday after Cartwright’s 3-pointer capped an 11-3 run to make it 59-58 with 8:50 remaining.
A quick 9-1 surge put the Pirates up 68-59 with 6:43 on the clock, and the Friars couldn’t get any closer than six after that.
On Wednesday, the wet conditions resulted in multiple players slipping, including Seton Hall’s Desi Rodriguez who exited with an ankle injury. Two more Pirates players slipped in the second half, leading coach Kevin Willard to call for the suspension.
Providence led by as many as five in Wednesday’s first half before Seton Hall closed out the period on a 17-12 run to pull ahead 39-34 at halftime.
Powell’s layup with 13:37 on the clock gave the Pirates their biggest lead of the day at 56-44 before Diallo’s 3-pointer cut the Friars’ deficit to nine 20 seconds later. The game was stopped 14 seconds after that.
Providence lost 73-57 at Seton Hall in the teams’ first meeting on Jan. 31.

The price of gold is now testing its highs of 2012 on the technical analysis charts and the right mining stocks are simply exploding in value. It’s an interesting moment in this precious metals bull market, but almost all eyes still remain on the stock market instead of gold. But there is more happening than just the daily gyrations of the S&P 500. Something huge has happened this year in the bond market. The Federal Reserve has created an unlimited QE bond buying program to prop the bond market up. They are doing this because now 20% of the US stock market is made up of zombie firms.
This Fed action is keeping the economy from collapse, but it will in time lead to a falling US dollar and higher inflation. This looming future now makes gold, silver, and other metals necessary for diversification.
Maybe you don’t think things like that will happen. That’s fine – what is clear is that gold, silver, and mining stocks are beating the market. That’s just a fact and it’s why my top stock pick for the summer is in such a great position now. Find out about it by going here.

Tragedy struck in Ijero-Ekiti, headquarters of Ijero Local Government Area of Ekiti State, on Monday, as a seven-year-old boy shot his mate to death with his father’s gun.
The incident, which occurred in the community at the weekend, the Nigerian Tribune gathered, had caused tension in the town as the boy who pulled the trigger was said to be an indigene while his victim was from the eastern part of the country.
It was gathered that the incident, which many described as “an unfortunate accident”, had initially brought the town to a halt as the initial news about the incident was that “a Yoruba boy has killed an Igbo boy in Ijero.”
However, tension was doused when the leaders of the town, especially the Owa Ajero of Ijero-Ekiti, Oba Joseph Adewole, the police and other stakeholders intervened.
Speaking on the incident, Oba Adewole said: “Two seven-year-old boys, one from Ijero and the other from Igboland, were said to be playing with a gun belonging to the Ijero boy’s father. We learnt that he didn’t know that it was loaded and he shot and killed the other boy.
“It created a lot of anger and tension, especially among the Igbos in the town, who naturally expressed dismay. But we calmed them and pleaded with them to understand that this was an unfortunate accident involving two young, innocent boys.
“It is not Ijero fighting Igbo and we have been living in peace in Ijero. The Igbo businessmen in Ijero are living in peace and there is no rancour. We explained all these to douse the tension and put the incident in proper perspective.
“The police have also waded into the matter and we know they would conduct their investigation and we wish to appeal to the people to remain calm.”
The Public Relations Officer of the Ekiti police command, Mr Alberto Adeyemi, confirmed the incident.
The PPRO said: “What we learnt was that two seven-year-olds were playing with a loaded gun and one shot the other and he died. We are already on top of the situation.”
Adeyemi said the incident had been reported by the police hierarchy in Ijero division and explained that the matter was still being investigated by the State Criminal Investigation Department and would give further details at a later date.

Russell had already suggested the cockpit of the W11 was a tight squeeze, to such an extent he would have to drop a boot size to fit his taller frame into a space normally occupied by the seven-time champion.
Russell's reward was to finish top of the timesheet at the end of both of Friday's practice sessions of the Sakhir Grand Prix to initially prove himself a worthy replacement for Covid-hit Hamilton.
But it was not without its difficulties. He said: "I've still got a lot of work to do to get comfortable in the car, with the set-up, make some improvements, and pick it up tomorrow which is going to be a different story."
As to whether improvements could be made to the comfort, he replied: "There is. I'm pretty battered and bruised already, to be honest.
"We've already gone through what we need to change, it's not the work of a moment, changing the seat here and there. I'm working hard with the guys to improve that for Sunday. I'm sure it will be fine."
While Russell appeared to set a high bar in comparison to new team-mate Valtteri Bottas, the Finn endured a difficult Friday.
In FP1 he broke the floor of his car early on running over a kerb which led to him finishing three-tenths adrift of the Briton.
In the second session, Bottas had two qualifying simulation lap times deleted for exceeding track limits, leaving him down in 11th, with his best time set on the hard tyres.
Data, however, showed he barely gained on one of the deleted laps and would comfortably have finished ahead of Russell.
"Just because I was quicker today it doesn't mean that's where I'm going to be tomorrow," said Russell.
"[Max] Verstappen was incredibly quick in the long runs, Valtteri was quickest in P2 but had his lap deleted. He probably only gained half a tenth so I'm probably a good tenth and a half behind Valtteri on the low fuel. We'll see, we're getting better."
Russell recognises he still has plenty to work to do if he is to carry his early fine form over into qualifying and the race, beginning with his race starts.
"They're improving," added Russell. "They're not Lewis Hamilton level, to say the least, but they're getting better.
"Again, a load of practice tonight, sat in the car just trying, trying, modifying the clutch paddles to try and suit my fingers a bit more.
"There's so much I do need to get on top of, and there's such a short period of time to do that, so I think we're in for a long night."

|Party Name:||Errol A. FOSTER, Petitioner, v. UNITED STATES IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE, Respondent.|
|Case Date:||July 16, 2004|
|Court:||United States Courts of Appeals, Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit|
Argued: June 17, 2004.
Mary Ann J. Sung (Lewis J. Liman, Hina Shamsi, Anil Kalhan, Mina Park, on the brief), Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton, New York, NY, for Petitioner.
Michael R. Holden, Assistant United States Attorney (David N. Kelley, United States Attorney, Sara L. Shudofsky, Assistant United States Attorney, on the brief), United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, New York, NY, for Respondent.
Before: B.D. PARKER, WESLEY Circuit Judges, IRENAS, District Judge. [*]
Errol A. Foster petitions for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) decision affirming an Immigration Judge's (IJ) determination that Foster should be removed from this country as a consequence of a prior felony conviction. Foster contends that his state conviction for first degree manslaughter was improperly classified as an "aggravated felony" under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. § 1101 et seq. He also contends that, even if he had been convicted of an aggravated felony, he is entitled to apply for discretionary relief under INA § 212(c), 8 U.S.C. § 1182(c), repealed by Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), Pub.L. No. 104-208, § 304(b), 110 Stat. 3009-597 (Sept. 30, 1996). We conclude that Foster failed to exhaust his administrative remedies with respect to his claim that his crime was not an aggravated felony. Further, we lack subject matter jurisdiction to decide whether Foster is entitled to apply for § 212(c) relief. Accordingly, we deny the petition.
Foster is a native and citizen of Jamaica who entered the United States in 1981 as a lawful permanent resident. In June 1990, he was arrested and indicted in Supreme Court, New York County on three counts: murder in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree. In October 1990, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the first degree and was sentenced to a term of 6 to 18 years' imprisonment.
Ten years later, in May 2000, while he was still incarcerated, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), served Foster with notice to appear for a removal hearing. The notice alleged that his conviction for manslaughter constituted a "crime of violence" under 18 U.S.C. § 16 and that, therefore, he was removable as a consequence of his commission of an aggravated felony. 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii); see 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(F) (defining "aggravated felony" to include a "crime of violence" under 18 U.S.C. § 16). Petitioner, acting pro se, filed a number of motions to terminate the proceedings, arguing that he had never admitted responsibility for the crime, that he was entitled to § 212(c) relief or any other available relief, and that he desired to preserve all of his rights.
Following a hearing during which Foster admitted that he had pled guilty to first degree manslaughter, the IJ concluded that Foster was subject to removal based on his 1990 conviction, and that he was not eligible for discretionary relief under § 212(c) because he had served more than five years in prison. See Immigration Act of 1990, Pub.L. No. 101-649, § 511, 104 Stat. 4978, 5052 (Nov. 29, 1990) (amending § 212(c) to bar relief for aggravated felons who have served more than five years in prison).
Foster then appealed, again pro se, to the Board of Immigration Appeals arguing that he was entitled to § 212(c) relief. Before the BIA's decision issued, Foster filed a pro se petition for review of that decision in this Court along with a motion to proceed in forma pauperis and to stay any deportation proceedings pending disposition of his petition for review. Before we decided the petition, the BIA denied Foster relief, finding him eligible for removal. Despite his premature petition to us, we exercised jurisdiction noting that "the BIA has since affirmed petitioner's removal order and the respondent has not shown prejudice." We also granted Foster's motion to stay his deportation, allowed him to proceed in forma pauperis, and appointed him pro bono counsel.
Foster raises two claims on appeal: (1) that his conviction was not an "aggravated felony" under the INA, 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) ("Any alien who is convicted of an aggravated felony at any time after admission is deportable."); and (2) that, even if his conviction could be considered an aggravated felony, he is entitled to apply for discretionary relief from removal under § 212(c). In addition to opposing these claims on the merits, the government contends that we lack jurisdiction because they had not been raised before the IJ or the BIA.
Before an alien can seek judicial review of his removal decision, the INA requires that he exhaust all administrative remedies available to him. 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d) ("A court may review a final order of removal only if ... (1) the alien has exhausted all administrative remedies available to the alien as of...

Chester, the county town of Cheshire, is noted for its vast array of historic monuments, including its magnificent medieval city walls.
Chester's roots date back Datin Roman times, and the Vikings, Danes, Saxons, Scots, and Normans also occupied the settlement at various times.

Prof. Frédérique Capron and Dr. Catherine Genestie, two experienced pathologists from the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, France, provided for this contest a set of 5 breast cancer biopsy slides. The slides are stained with hematein and eosin (H&E). In each slide, the pathologists selected 10 high power fields (HPF) at 40X magnification. A HPF has a size of 512 × 512 μm2 (that is an area of 0.262 mm2 ), which is the equivalent of a microscope field diameter of 0.58 mm. These 50 HPFs contain more than 300 mitosis in total. As there are several possible shapes for mitosis, it is necessary to have a large dataset to be able to cover all the cases. Two-third of the HPFs will be used for training purpose, the remaining third being for testing.
The slides of MITOS dataset have been scanned by three different equipments:
- a scanner A;
- a scanner H;
- and a 10 bands multi-spectral microscope M. The spectral bands are all in the visible spectrum. In addition, for each spectral band, the digitization has been performed at 17 different focus planes (17 layers Z-stack), each plane being separated from the other by 500 nm.
Scanner A has a resolution of 0.2456 μm per pixel. Scanner H has a slightly better resolution of 0.2273 μm (horizontal) and 0.22753 μm (vertical) per pixel, so a pixel of scanner H is not exactly a square. At last, multispectral microscope M has the best resolution of 0.185 μm per pixel. Table 1 shows the resolutions of the different scanners and the microscope. For example, a mitosis having an area of 30 μm2 will cover about 500 pixels of the image produced by scanner A, about 580 pixels of the image produced by scanner H, and about 880 pixels of the image produced by multispectral microscope M.
Dimension of HPF to cover
|Scanner A||0.2456 μm per pixel||2084 × 2084 pixels|
|Scanner H||0.2273 μm horizontal and
0.22753 μm vertical per pixel
|2252 × 2250 pixels|
|Microscope M||0.185 μm per pixel||2767 × 2767 pixels|
For each slide, there is one RGB image produced by scanner A, one RGB image produced by scanner H, and 170 grey scale images for the multi-spectral microscope M (10 spectral bands and 17 layers Z-stack for each spectral band).
The pathologists have annotated mitosis manually in each selected HPF on the images generated by the scanner A, the scanner H and the multi-spectral microscope M.

A Canadian photographer who snapped a stunning image of a bald eagle has been overwhelmed by its popularity since he posted it on Instagram and Facebook. Weeks after first posting the image online it is still gaining attention and compliments.
Mr. Biro said seeing the eagle close up was "an amazing experience".
Steve Biro took the picture of the bald eagle, named Bruce by staff at the Canadian Raptor Conservancy, as it swooped towards him over a pond. The large bird appears to stare straight down the lens of the camera, its wings outstretched and the tips of its feathers dragging across the surface of the water.
"The eagle was literally flying inches over my head where I was sitting. It was an amazing experience," Mr Biro wrote in a Facebook post accompanying a video showing the bird in flight in slow motion.
The image has gained worldwide attention but Bruce did not seem too happy with Mr. Biro when he set up to take the shot.
"Wow! This photo is just breathtaking … Absolutely stunning. You are very talented!! I've enjoyed your other photos too. Thank you," a user wrote on Mr Biro's Instagram post of the image, which has been liked 4,034 times.
Steve Biro was on his second visit to the Canadian Raptor Conservancy in Ontario in early May, hoping to capture some good reflection shots of Bruce, the resident bald eagle. The last time he visited, the water was quite rippled, and he didn't get the images he had hoped for.
This is the photo Biro took of the eagle right after he landed. It sure looks like Bruce was glaring.


The mastermind behind Apple sheds his low profile and steps forward to tell his story for the first time.
Before cell phones that fit in the palm of your hand and slim laptops that fit snugly into briefcases, computers were like strange, alien vending machines. They had cryptic switches, punch cards and pages of encoded output. But in 1975, a young engineering wizard named Steve Wozniak had an idea: What if you combined computer circuitry with a regular typewriter keyboard and a video screen? The result was the first true personal computer, the Apple I, a widely affordable machine that anyone could understand and figure out how to use…

Country’s largest co-working space to open in BGC in June
Spaces, an Amsterdam-born firm, will open in June the largest co-working space in the Philippines, where the demand is “exceptional,” a top official said.
In a press briefing on Wednesday, country manager Lars Wittig said that they are opening the company’s first site in the Philippines with a 500-square meter co-working space.
The first and largest international provider of this type of office space, Spaces will offer competitive rates to both start-ups and Fortune 500 companies, Wittig said.
Spaces, the sister company of world-renown office space provider Regus, will be located at the World Plaza in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, where it would cover the more than 3,000 square meters.
This includes the co-working space, which Wittig calls a “community hall.”
“Co-working space is a term of yesterday. What we are building is a community,” he said, noting that it would even have Wild Flour Bakery + Café Corp. serving Spaces’ patrons.
According to a separate statement, the company said the area would have more than 400 workstations, with ample space for private meetings in offices and meeting rooms.
However, Wittig deferred from disclosing the site’s investment cost, saying that each square meter would at least be “35 percent” more expensive than its counterpart under the Regus brand, the latter already being more expensive than typical commercial leases.
Despite this, he said Spaces World Plaza would offer rates that are “not more expensive” than those being offered by local small players in the market.
Regus has been getting a lot of inquiries in recent months, he said. Each month this 2018 has seen 22 percent to 33 percent more inquiries than the same month last year.
Last month alone, he said they had almost 1,300 inquiries. These, however, are inquiries addressed to Regus. Nevertheless, he said the opening of Spaces on June 4 would take a slice out of that pie.
“As soon as we have the option of Spaces, we’re going to see that split. The trend is really to be part of a community [or a co-working space], and that’s very much a trend here,” he said.
Spaces, founded more than a decade ago, already has some commercial presence in other parts of the globe, such as Europe, the United States, and Asia.
The company is currently considering expanding to two more sites in the Philippines soon, noting that it would just be a “matter of timing.” /vvp
