Audio Hijack 3 in Action
If you own any product with 'Audio Hijack' in the name, you're eligible to purchase a heavily-discounted upgrade to Audio Hijack 3! Download the trial, then upgrade.
We urge all users to move to Audio Hijack 3. That said, legacy versions of all our software, including Audio Hijack Pro, are always provided for previous customers.
Posted By Paul Kafasis on June 28th, 2018
Today, we’ve got a big (and free!) update to our popular audio recording utility Audio Hijack. Audio Hijack 3.5 is all about internet radio streaming, with a brand new Broadcast output block that makes it possible to send any audio to Shoutcast and Icecast servers. It’s perfect for running livecasts of podcast recordings, as well as live streaming DJ sets, and powering all types of internet radio streams.
If you’re already using Audio Hijack to record audio, broadcasting will be a snap as well. Adding a Broadcast block to your audio chain makes it possible to take what Audio Hijack is pulling in, and send it to an MP3 or AAC streaming server, allowing listeners around the world to tune in. Have a look:
This simple chain is pulling audio from iTunes and a microphone, recording it, then passing it out to an external server. It’s simple, straight-forward, and tremendously powerful. Of course, the new Broadcast block offers plenty of features for broadcasting experts to appreciate. Let’s go to the bullet-point list!
Stream to Shoutcast 2, Shoutcast 1, and Icecast 2 streaming audio servers. Broadcast can even automatically detect your server type.
With Broadcast, you can stream in either the popular MP3 streaming format, or the more modern AAC streaming format.
If you’re streaming AAC, Broadcast will automatically work to achieve the best quality for a given bitrate by switching to the superior-sounding HE-AAC when possible.
The Broadcast block can be configured to automatically read track titles from supported sources, then embed them in your stream for listeners to see. It’s also possible to manually add and update track titles, as you broadcast.
Using multiple Broadcast blocks in one session, you can stream a high and a low quality broadcast, or in multiple audio formats. You can even easily copy server settings between blocks, with Audio Hijack’s powerful Presets feature.
We’ve also created a new Template to help get you started with an Internet Radio broadcast. You can find the “Internet Radio” template in Audio Hijack’s Template Chooser. Just click “New Session” to select the template (or any of our other templates), and start experimenting!
The new Broadcast block will open up many additional uses for Audio Hijack, and we can’t wait to see (and hear) how folks make use of it!
As a result of beta tester feedback, we’ve also added a second new block to Audio Hijack 3.5: the Input Switch block. With an Input Switch, you can toggle from input A to input B (and back) with one click. This can be useful for broadcasting, but it’s also handy for easily testing audio effects, and more.
Input Switch in action
In the setup above, introductory music for a livestream is being played from iTunes, while the mics are not yet heard. Switching between sources is just a matter of clicking the switch. The source will fade from A to B, and the co-host’s microphone audio will be heard, while iTunes is not.
Audio Hijack 3.5 is a free update for all current owners of Audio Hijack 3. Just select “Check for Update” from the Audio Hijack menu to move up to the latest.
While Audio Hijack 3 originally shipped way back in 2015, users of any older version of Audio Hijack or Audio Hijack Pro are still eligible for a discounted upgrade to version 3!
And if you’re entirely new to Audio Hijack, there’s no time like the present to see what you’ve been missing. Visit the Audio Hijack page to learn more, and download the free trial.
Current and former users of our now-retired broadcasting tool Nicecast should make sure to read this secondary post. It’s full of a wealth of additional information on broadcasting in 2018 and beyond, as well as tips on moving your broadcasting setup to Audio Hijack, and an exclusive discount.

With a 1-inch 20.2-million-pixel sensor and high quality build, the G7X is a strong competitor against the Sony RX100 II. The lens control ring and touchscreen make settings adjustment quick and the image quality is excellent.
A one-inch sensor in a compact body
Large aperture for depth of field control and faster shutter speed
High build quality
Tilting screen only, not vari-angle
F/1.8 aperture only at the widest focal length
Why you can trust TechRadar
The PowerShot G7 X is designed for photographers who want the power, control and even the image quality of a D-SLR, but in a camera small enough to fit in a pocket.
That's what Canon's top-end PowerShot G-series cameras are designed for, but in the past this kind of camera has compromised on sensor size. To get a small camera you had to put up with a small sensor.
Canon fixed this with the PowerShot G1 X Mark II, which has a sensor nearly as large as an SLR's – but it's a pretty big camera and stretches the concept of a 'compact'.
That's why the new G7 X is so interesting. It uses a 1-inch sensor big enough to produce great images but small enough to allow a genuinely pocketable camera design.
In the past, Canon has had a lot of success with its PowerShot G-series and PowerShot S-series of compact cameras, but in recent times models like the 12.2Mp Canon G16 have started to seem a bit too bulky and ugly. Both it and the sexier PowerShot S120 (which has the same sensor) also lack in the sensor size department when compared with the likes of the Sony RX100 II and Sony RX100 III.
The new Canon PowerShot G7 X gives photographers an alternative option when looking for a small camera as back-up to their SLR. Inside its sleek exterior, which is a pretty close match for the S120's, is a new 20.2-million-pixel, one-inch back-illuminated sensor and a Digic 6 processing engine. This puts it above the G16 and S120, but below the Canon G1 X Mark II (which has a 1.5-inch, or 18.7x14.0mm, sensor) in the PowerShot range.
As a compact camera, the G7 X has a fixed lens and Canon has plumped for an 8.8-36.8mm optic, which is equivalent to a 24-100mm f/1.8-2.8 lens in 35mm terms. This is a nice versatile range that will be appreciated by keen photographers as it allows for cramped interior shots, flattering portraits and a little telephoto reach. The fact that the lens has a nine-blade aperture will also be popular as this should create smoother bokeh (background blur).
The wide maximum aperture is also good news as this allows greater control over depth of field and fast shutter speeds to be used in comparatively low light. There's also a three-stop Image Stabilization (IS) system to help combat camera shake in low light.
It's worth noting that the widest aperture is only available at the very shortest focal length – the aperture closes to a still-wide f/2.0 as soon as the focal length is adjusted and it's not long before it drops to (a still very useful) f/2.8.
As the Canon G7 X is designed to appeal to enthusiast photographers, it's possible to shoot in manual, aperture priority or shutter priority mode, but there are also automatic options for less experienced photographers. Images may also be saved in raw or JPEG format (or both simultaneously) and sensitivity, aperture and shutter speed may be controlled manually when shooting Full HD video (at up to 60p).
In recognition of the selfie phenomenon the three-inch, 1,040,000-dot LCD screen on the back of the camera can be tipped up through 180 degrees for easy viewing while facing the camera lens. And, like the S120, the G7 X's screen is also touch-sensitive so you have a choice of using the shortcut buttons or the screen to control the camera. Unfortunately, there's no viewfinder, so the screen is the only option for composing and reviewing images.
There is, however, Wi-Fi connectivity for wireless transfer and quick image sharing, along with NFC technology to speed up connection to NFC-enabled smartphones and tablets. The camera can also use a smartphone's GPS system for geotagging images.
As the sensor is comparatively large and is back-illuminated, noise should be controlled well. Consequently, Canon has allowed sensitivity to be set in the ISO 100-12,800 range, with the full range available in auto mode; the maximum continuous shooting rate is 6.5 frames per second (fps) though the focus is set at the start of the sequence. The rate drops to 4.4 fps with continuous autofocusing. Up to 692 images can be shot in a sequence.
Other specification highlights include Creative Shot mode, in which the camera records a sequence of six images that are treated or cropped in a random variety of ways, a small pop-up flash, Star mode for capturing the night sky and star trails automatically, HDR mode for increased dynamic range and Hybrid Auto mode, which captures a snippet of video footage with every still and then creates a movie at the end of the day.

Human growth hormone or HGH is believed to enhance the growth of an individual during childhood stage. It is also necessary for maintaining the tissues and organs. But, even healthy adults can benefit from this type of hormone by increasing the muscle mass and reducing the body fat.
Generally, human growth hormone is injected under the skin. And there are some that offer HGH in a form of a pill. As modernization arise, transdermal application of HGH is made into reality.
NewULife created the Somaderm gel, the only source of homeopathic human growth hormone through a transdermal application. In this review, we will provide in-depth details on what Somaderm gel is all about. We will focus on giving its ingredients, benefits, side effects, and even its customers feedback.
The Somaderm gel is packed in pumped up bottles containing a variety of active and inactive ingredients. Now, to have an idea on how does this transdermal HGH works, let’s start by having a glimpse of its ingredients.

Near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, two oil tankers were attacked.
The US points a finger at Iran.
The Guardian notes the crew of two tankers was evacuated following Oil Tanker Attacks in the Gulf of Oman.
Tensions in the Gulf have been close to boiling point for weeks as the US puts pressure on Iran in an attempt to forceTehran to reopen talks about the 2015 nuclear deal, which the US pulled out of last year. In May four tankers were attacked off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. The US blamed those attacks on Iran – an accusation Tehran has denied.
The timing of Thursday’s attacks was especially sensitive because it came as the Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe, held talks with the Iranian leadership in Tehran in an effort to find a basis for discussions between the US and Iran. Japan’s trade ministry said the two oil tankers carried “Japan-related” cargo.
In a sign of how the Yemen civil war and the wider US-Iranian tensions are becoming intertwined, Riyadh accused Tehran of ordering a Yemeni rebel missile strike that wounded 26 people at a Saudi airport on Wednesday.
Oil Tanker Attack Location
It makes zero sense for Iran to have attacked Japanese tankers when Japan was on a mission to better relations between the US and Iran.
Tweet Stating the Obvious
Detained or Rescued?
Speaking to reporters Friday he said: “Japan adamantly condemns the act that threatened a Japanese ship, no matter who attacked,” and further urged “all related countries” to avoid any "accidental confrontation" or an escalation of tensions.
The Trump ally also spoke to the US president by phone on Friday, reportedly briefing him on his visit to Iran, Abe confirmed in his remarks, though without detailing what he conveyed to the White House. Trump had previously said during a Fox & Friends telephone interview that "it’s probably got essentially Iran written all over it."
Russia thanked Iran for helping rescue 11 Russian nationals who had been aboard one of the tankers, which is a stark contradiction to the claims of US officials, who are now saying Iran had detained the crew.
Seven Reasons To Be Highly Skeptical Of The Gulf Of Oman Incident
Caitlin Johnstone at Medium.com wrote a brilliant article Seven Reasons To Be Highly Skeptical Of The Gulf Of Oman Incident.
- Pompeo has a well-established history of circulating blatant lies about Iran and the behavior of the Iranian government, and he recently told an audience at Texas A&M University that when he was leading the CIA, “We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses.”
- The US empire is known to use lies and false flags to start wars.
- John Bolton has openly endorsed lying to advance military agendas.
- Using false flags to start a war with Iran is already an established idea in the DC swamp.
- The US State Department has already been running psyops to manipulate the public Iran narrative.
- The Gulf of Oman narrative makes no sense.
- Even if Iran did perpetrate the attack, Pompeo would still be lying.
Caitlin makes a powerful case for skepticism. I encourage you to read her entire article.
Best Guess Who Did It?
I rate Iran (state sponsored) about a 1% chance. Add another percent or so, not much more for an unsponsored Iranian group acting on their own, hoping to topple the government.
Twitter only allows 4 choices. Pick the best choice.
Expanding the list, here are my guesses, in order: Saudi Arabia, Israel, US, none of the above but not Iranian government sponsored, unsponsored Iranians, Iran.
It is entirely possible the US orchestrated this behind Trump's back.
I do not believe Trump authorized this.

MUMBAI: Health insurance is poised to record a massive growth in India. Half of the country's population is expected to come under the health insurance umbrella in the next seven years, according to an Ernst & Young study. A mere 12% of the population is currently covered by healthcare.
The health insurance premium income is likely to touch Rs 30,000 crore in 2015 from the existing Rs 4,000 crore, according to the study. The premium was Rs 670 crore in FY02. Experts say the government's proposal to scale up the foreign direct investment (FDI) in the insurance sector from 26% to 49% will boost the healthcare business. Ernst & Young National Leader-Financial Services, Ashvin Parekh says, "The health insurance report is yet to be tabled, but increased FDI investment will help the sector. The committee on health insurance has submitted its report recommending a reduction in capital, transformation of health providers into stakeholders in health insurance companies to prevent over-treatment and encouragement of regional health insurance companies vis-a-vis pan-Indian ones."
Ideally, three years of health reforms should give rise to 16 regional health insurance companies. "It is important to create a pool of resources at the grassroots level and cover communities instead of individuals. Moreover, abuse needs to be checked, given the importance of data," Mr Parekh said.
With rising income levels, changing lifestyles and dietary patterns, the healthcare consumption in India has increased by 8% in the past 20 years, compared to the overall consumption growth of 4.7%. The health expenditure across the country was Rs 180,000 crore last year. Given the escalating healthcare costs, rising demand for healthcare services and limited access of the low-income group to quality healthcare, health insurance is emerging as an alternative mechanism for financing healthcare. And with merely 12% of the population being covered, companies are looking at the health insurance space as a lucrative segment.
The state-owned companies constitute nearly 70% of the health insurance market and private companies account for the remaining 30% As the out-of-pocket expenditure on healthcare is pegged at more than 70%, private insurers are treating this as an important target market. ICICI Prudential has started a division catering to health insurance, while Bupa-Max is awaiting the IRDA's approval to launch health insurance schemes. LIC recently unveiled its health insurance scheme to compete with players such as Apollo, Star and Bajaj Allianz.
Bajaj Allianz head of health insurance Shreeraj Deshpande said, "We are going to the semi-urban and rural areas. We are targeting the informal sector by having viable products and communicating through NGOs." The channels of reach are also seeing a change, with companies tapping banks' databases in an attempt to reach people. "Banks will play an important role in selling policies, given the difficult environment. The entry of additional companies into the health insurance sector will depend on regulations and companies' abilities to make profits," he said.
"The growth in healthcare will be supported by standalone health insurance companies and new players. Moreover, domestic life insurance players are augmenting their product portfolios with innovative standalone health insurance products for catering to the growing health insurance segment," the report stated.

A credit rating is a measurement of a person or business entity’s ability to repay a financial obligation based on income and past repayment histories. Usually expressed as a credit score, banks and lenders use a credit rating as one of the factors to determine whether to lend money. Having good credit typically means having little trouble finding a loan when you need one. Most likely, you haven’t been turned down for a credit card, car loan or mortgage. However, when you do receive loans or open new lines of credit, your credit score makes you ineligible for lenders’ lowest interest rates.

Freddie is a fan favorite from the cult classic anime, manga, and live-action movie Cromartie High School. He is the manliest student in all of Cromartie, but since he’s mute no one knows anything about him. Kamiyama names him “Freddie” due to his resemblance to Freddie Mercury.
Freddie Mercury was the frontman for Queen best known for his hits “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Don’t Stop Me Now”, and “We Are the Champions”. Mercury was also well known for his stage performances and flamboyant outfits. If you’re feeling courageous, you could try on one of the many form fitting leotards that he wore on stage.

Two developers — Sun City and Wave Group — were supposed to acquire around 4,400 acres each. Although the land was notified for the township in 2005, the acquisition process began only in 2009-10.
In the trans-Hindon areas of Ghaziabad, which are already packed with highrises, the policy will carve out what is called the TOD “influence zone” where vertical development will be encouraged.
In fact, the petitioner, Kaushal Yadav, had approached the high court after coming across illegal construction in the Ramprastha area.
The money raised from this remaining developed land will be used for local area development, officials said. Local area development entails strengthening the existing infrastructure of a place where fresh development is not possible.
The UP-Rera's regional office in Greater Noida was established in 2018 with one full-time member to adjudicate cases falling in NCR districts, while two members were hearing cases in Gautam Budh Nagar and Lucknow headquarters as per roster.
The average hike in circle rates as compared to last time is between 10% and 12% but it has increased by up to 20% in some areas.
Before GDA took over in 2013, anyone willing to convert their leasehold properties to freehold would have to pay just 2% of the circle rate.
This is because the state government has decided to levy a one-time water fee at the rate of Rs 50 per sqm on each map that comes for approval, a move necessitated to bring uniformity over such a charge across development authorities in UP.
This is despite a proposal to hike the circle rates after a gap of six years. The district magistrate has attributed the delay to the rising number of objections and suggestions.
Twelve of those projects are in Noida and Ghaziabad. Another is in the state capital, Lucknow. Last month, Rera said that it had authorised the builder to finish the work in Utopia Estate housing project in Dundahera.
The housing society launched in 2008 has become the first real estate project to be completed under the rehabilitation clause (Section 8) of UP-Rera, which allows the regulator to take up an unfinished project and guide it to completion under its watch.
After a gap of six years, the administration has proposed a hike in circle rates to the tune of about 10% for the financial year 2022-23.
Enforcement of the process, they said, will help maintain proper documentation of any action by the authority and weed out corruption as some juniors tend to seal and de-seal properties on their own accord.
The innumerable potholes and craters cause waterlogging even at the lightest spell of rain and pose a grave risk to commuters not used to a bumpy ride in these areas.
The order, issued by GDA vice-chairperson and district magistrate RK Singh, said junior engineers and supervisors cannot seal or de-seal a property without taking permission from the officer on special duty (OSD-enforcement) Sushil Kumar Choubey or the vice-chairperson’s office.
The confederation feels that inordinate delays in procedural work in most of the projects affect timely completion of the same that eventually goes against developers.
The move is expected to benefit homebuyers in Ghaziabad, where the Board is building a township in Sidharth Vihar and plans to construct another in Mandola.
The move, if implemented, would be similar to the partial takeover of Indirapuram by the corporation. It was in a meeting convened to discuss issues holding up the handover of Indirapuram that the GDA made the proposal for Raj Nagar Extension.
Meanwhile, the list of those buildings has kept growing, with the GMC identifying 122 of them this year, including multi-storey towers and government buildings.
So far, GDA has received over 50 objections to its draft from the public, including residents and organisations. June 22 is the last date to file the objections.

Hyperthermia Plus Chemotherapy Nearly Doubles Disease-Free Survival
BSD Medical announced that the results of a 340 patient randomized Phase III clinical trial testing the benefit of adding hyperthermia therapy to chemotherapy.
According to the results of this clinical study, which was conducted at nine major European cancer treatment institutions and at Duke University Medical Center in the USA, both disease-free survival time and local progression free survival time for patients with locally advanced, high-grade soft tissue sarcomas nearly doubled when hyperthermia therapy was added to chemotherapy, as compared to patients who received chemotherapy alone.
The patients enrolled in this clinical study were very ill, with high-grade (II/III) soft tissue sarcomas and were at significant risk of local failure and metastasis. The patients were randomly assigned to receive either chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy combined with hyperthermia therapy. The patient characteristics were well balanced between these two groups. Their treatments were administered in 4 cycles every 3 weeks before and after surgery and radiation therapy. For patients who received both hyperthermia therapy and chemotherapy the median disease free survival was 31.7 months, compared to 16.2 months for those who received chemotherapy alone (p=0.004), a 95% increase. The median local progression free survival rate was estimated at 45.3 months for patients who received chemotherapy plus hyperthermia therapy, compared to 23.7 months for patients who received chemotherapy alone (p=0.01), a 91% increase.
The study was conducted under the direction of the European Society of Hyperthermic Oncology (ESHO RHT-95) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC 62961). Rolf Issels, MD PhD of the Munich University Medical School in Germany, was the principal investigator.
All hyperthermia treatments performed in the study were conducted using BSD-2000 hyperthermia systems developed and produced by BSD Medical Corp. The BSD-2000 hyperthermia therapy system non-invasively delivers precision focused hyperthermia therapy to cancerous tumors, including tumors located deep in the body. The BSD-2000 is a recipient of the Frost and Sullivan Technology Innovation of the Year Award for cancer therapy devices.

Give the Panthers' marketing brass credit for one thing: They're creative. Oh, and they have plenty of brass. So make that two things.
The latest out of One Panther Parkway comes a playoff guarantee.
Basically, the team is saying if you buy a four-game pack of tickets to this year's playoff run and the team doesn't make the postseason, you score four freebies next year.
Which you can probably parlay into tickets for 2010-11 if they don't make the playoffs again next season. It could be the gift that keeps on giving!
In a press release I got from Barry Jackson (yet, interestingly enough not directly from the Panthers), Pete DeBoer is quoted as saying “I thought
it was important to let fans know, to promise them, that our team will do
everything possible to be successful on the ice over the next 31 games.
''We’ve made no secret of our goal to make the playoffs this year, and we want fans to get excited and support us during the stretch run.”
Here's what Chad 'C.J.' Johnson, the team's VP for sales and marketing says about the ploy:
marketing department worked directly with Coach DeBoer to come up with this
new, innovative campaign.
“The purpose of the campaign is to activate the South Florida marketplace and let everyone know – whether you’re a hockey fan or just a casual sports fan – that we are in an exciting playoff hunt and we need their support. Every game is a big game and we want to make the BankAtlantic Center the best home ice advantage in the NHL.”
My take: Putting this out there now is a bit risky, and it'll be interesting to ask the players what they think of this tomorrow.
The team hasn't made the playoffs in nine years, and this only amps up the pressure (not the giving away tickets thing. They give away tickets to various people for various reasons).
For the consumer, this is a great deal -- just another good deal in Panthers history. I mean, where else can you spend $17 for a professional sports ticket and get free parking, a food voucher and other stuff?
But you can bet the Toronto folks in town tomorrow are going to get a whiff of this promotion and have themselves some fun with it.
Of course, the Panthers front office could give a flying flip what the Canadian media thinks of them. Doesn't matter what the team does, they're going to get made fun of. They're kind of an easy target.
But if the Panthers make the playoffs, no harm, no foul.
And CJ is right. The team is doing their part on the ice (for the most part); now it's time to get some fannies in the seats and get that playoff atmosphere going.

According to a January 21, 2014 Radar Online report, Gomez was at Bieber's Calabasas, California home the night he allegedly hurled eggs at a neighbor's home, causing more than $20,000 in damage.
According to the report, the "Come and Get It" singer attended a party at his home with a group of friends the night in question. As the investigation continues, it is possible that authorities could attempt to question her and others who were at Bieber's house that night.
Reports have also surfaced that Gomez is refusing to get back together with her ex-boyfriend unless he takes some anger management classes.
As Omg! reported, "Selena has told him 'no romance without new manners', and insisted that he should take a course in anger management. Selena is an old fashioned southern girl from Texas and believes in manners and good behavior, she's told Justin that he has to mend his ways if they are to start seeing each other regularly again."
Sources also indicated that Gomez had given Bieber an ultimatum, and that his mom, Patti Mallette had wanted him to become more mindful of his behavior.
The "Slow Down" singer's previous ex-boyfriend, Nick Jonas also commented on the incident. As he tweeted, "Wait.. egging is still a thing? A week and a half into the new year... I like where this is going."
Was Selena Gomez there the night of the Justin Bieber egging incident? Could his bad boy ways spell trouble for her? Does Bieber need to take some anger management classes?

I've been experimenting to various different headlights (LED, HID, etc...) in my autos lately trying to determine which are really the brightest. This tool performs well for that purpose and has allowed me to make comparisons based on data and not just appearance.
The backlight function and swiveling sensor really come in handy. It makes a rather loud beep sound every time you press a button. If the volume was turned down on this a bit, it would make it more pleasurable to use, in my opinion. I was hoping it had a color temperature function, but it is just air temperature ( I found out you need to pay a lot more for that type of meter). All in all it is a great value in an easy to use handheld meter. I’m happy with the purchase.
I purchased this light meter So I can determine the light output on my LED lights for my UTV and jeep. Seems to work great. My optimal light output that I want is a 4300k.

These past few weeks have been rather enlightening because I have been reminded, just how disrespectful people can be.
Many a time I have gone out of my way to help another, to be patient with another, to be there for another yet for the respect not to be returned, is just plain rude. For them to be unwilling to accept me for who I am and the starkness of my honesty, of which contradicts the lies they spew – this can only explain their anger. Haters can go ahead and waste their precious time, hating.
If they cannot find an iota of kindness from within them to pay respect in return or make some room for you, remember that your self worth outweighs theirs by far.
I reserve the right to be comfortable in what I consider to be, MY space. If the respect and patience is not going to be returned, then watch me walk away.
As simple as that because after all, it takes two to tango. 🙂
In order for one to be comfortable and happier, one has to be willing to lose connections with the “noise” in our lives.

Not a lot seems to be known about Berry Quincy just yet. They’re a band, not a person. They’re from Leuven in Belgium.
Tuesday is their second album, following 2013’s self-titled debut. And despite some rather gothic artwork, their sound is smooth, restrained rock with an overlying whiff of prog thanks to their insistent keys on opener Old Man, dry harmonies and a subtle sense of drama.
As a result, tracks such as the chugging_ Take It Out There_ sound like Pink Floyd donning a denim disguise in a bid to infiltrate a down-and-dirtier universe than their own. Subtle World, meanwhile, leaps into a jaunty backwoods-jazz jig that’s strictly European.
This is a curious little adventure then, and one that could see the fruits of their labour appeal to all those with a taste for the unusual.

A new law, effective July 1, 2014, establishes a compensation process for persons who have been determined to be innocent of a crime for which they served any part of a prison sentence. As you will see, the process to petition for compensation is rather complex. If you think you are eligible for compensation or would like to ask an attorney questions, call or email the criminal defense attorneys at Brockton D. Hunter, P.A. for a free consultation.
For a good example of the types of cases to which this new law will apply, see the City Pages recent article about the well publicized wrongful conviction of Koua Fong Lee. On June 10, 1996, Lee was coming home from church when his Toyota Camry refused to stop coming off of the eastbound I-94 Snelling Avenue exit in St. Paul. Lee’s car accelerated uncontrollably into a car parked at a red light, killing three people. He was convicted of criminal vehicular homicide in 2007. Lee spent two and a half years in prison before reports started surfacing about a defect in Toyotas that caused uncontrollable acceleration.
What does the new exoneration compensation statute say?
The law lays out a two-step procedure to obtain compensation for a wrongful imprisonment. First, one must petition for an Order of Eligibility, pursuant to Minnesota Statute § 590.11. After a person has obtained such an order, the person must bring a claim for reward in front of the Minnesota Supreme Court pursuant to Minnesota Statute §611.362.To obtain an order of Eligibility the petitioner needs to file a petition in the district court that convicted him. After the petition is filed the court will set a hearing. Through the petition and hearing, the Petitioner must establish three things; first he is exonerated, second the exoneration is in the interest of justice, and third a claim arises.
The first hurdle a petitioner need clear is showing that he was exonerated. This hurdle is often referred to as a condition precedent. To be exonerated in Minnesota a petitioner must show a court of this state:
- vacated or reversed a judgment of conviction on grounds consistent with innocence and the prosecutor dismissed the charges; or
- ordered a new trial on grounds consistent with innocence and prosecutor dismissed charges or petitioner was found not guilty at new trial; and
- the time for appeal of the order resulting in exoneration has expired, or the order has been affirmed and is final.
So essentially a petitioner must show the reason he was released is consistent with innocence and that the order is final.
Next, to obtain an order a petitioner must get the prosecutor who obtained the conviction to join the petition, or, if the prosecutor refuses, he or she must establish his innocence. So realistically, most people seeking compensation will need to prove by clear and convincing evidence that either a crime was not committed or the crime was not committed by the petitioner.
In the final proceeding, a petitioner must prove the elements of a claim for compensation, which are:
- Exoneration in the Interest of Justice (as discussed above);
- The person was convicted of a felony and served any part of the imposed sentence in prison;
- In cases where the person was convicted of multiple charges arising out of the same behavioral incident, the person was exonerated for all charges;
- The person did not commit or induce another to commit perjury or fabricate evidence to cause or bring about the conviction; and
- The person was not serving a term of imprisonment for another crime at the same time, provided that if the person served additional time in prison due to the conviction that is the basis of the claim, the person may make a claim for that portion of the sentence during which the person was serving no other sentence.
Seeking compensation after exoneration order is granted
Once a Petitioner has his exoneration order, he must then bring a claim for an award in front of the Minnesota Supreme Court. The claim must name the State as the respondent and be brought within 60 days of getting the exoneration order. The Supreme Court will then appoint a compensation panel who will determine the amount of damages to be awarded. The statute provides for a prehearing settlement conference and a hearing if no solution is reached at the settlement conference. The minimum amount of damages a petitioner will receive is $50,000 for each year of imprisonment, or $25,000 for each year of supervised release or registry as a sex offender. The Claimant is entitled to reimbursement for all restitution, assessments, fees, court costs, and other sums paid as required by the judgment and sentence. The panel will also award reasonable attorneys fees incurred in bringing this claim and securing the order of eligibility. The panel may consider the following when reaching an award:
- Economic damages, including reasonable attorney fees, lost wages, and costs associated with claimant’s criminal defense;
- Reimbursement for medical and dental expenses that claimant already incurred and future unpaid expenses expected to be incurred as a result of defendant’s imprisonment;
- Noneconomic damages for personal physical injuries or sicknesses and any nonphysical injuries or sicknesses incurred as a result of imprisonment;
- Reimbursement for any tuition and fees paid each semester successfully completed by the claimant in an educational program or for employment skills and development training, up to the equivalent value of a four-year-degree at a public university and reasonable payment for future unpaid costs for education and training, not to exceed the anticipated four-year-degree at a public university;
- Reimbursement for paid or unpaid child support payments owed by claimant while imprisoned;
- Reimbursement for reasonable costs of paid or unpaid reintegrative expenses for immediate services secured by the claimant upon exoneration and release, including housing, transportation, substistence, reintegrative services and medical and dental health care costs.

Thinai Sarkarai pongal, a sweet dish made with millets and lentils for Pongal, the harvest festival of Tamilnadu .Jump to Recipe
Table of contents
WHAT ARE MILLETS?
A group of cereals which are mostly tiny in size, round in shape. There are about 6,000 varieties of millet throughout the world in different colors too. Millets are gluten-free and rich in B vitamins, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. The bran layers of millets are good sources of B-complex vitamins.
Thinai or Foxtail millet is a millet variety. Since millets are small grains, they are called as Sirudhaniyam, in tamil,literally meaning small grains.
Many people have to restrict their white rice intake due to many health factors. Millets are great alternate to rice. Millets helps to lower blood glucose levels and improves insulin response. They have a low Glycemic index,which increase the satiety by decreasing hunger and slows the rate of digestion. You can read more about its health benefits here .
How to make Thinai Sarkarai Pongal
To make Thinai Sarkarai pongal, we need to dry roast the millets and lentils until golden brown. Then pressure cook it with milk and water mix. If vegan, use any plant-based milk or simply use water to cook it entirely.
Once the pressure releases, take a cup of jaggery and heat it with ½ cup of water. Since i used organic jaggery, i didn't strain the jaggery. If not using jaggery and not sure about the purity, do melt and strain. When the jaggery syrup bubbles, add the cooked thinai and lentil to it and mix well. Add 1 tablespoon of ghee to this.
Let this cook, until the all the liquid absorbs, and the pongal follows the ladle as you stir. Take it off the stove, add ghee roasted cashewnuts and raisins to it. The pongal thickens as it rests, so do not cook it until dry. Remove it when it is a bit saucy.
Serve the pongal warm. Any leftovers can be refrigerated. While serving from the fridge, warm it in the microwave for 30 seconds and serve warm.
Thinai Sarkarai Pongal | Foxtail millet sweet pongal
- ½ cup foxtail millet/thinai
- ¼ cup moong dal
- 1 cup powdered jaggery i used organic jaggery powder
- 1 cup milk if vegan, use plant-based milk or just water
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoon ghee
- a pinch of edible camphor only a pinch not more than that
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 3 tablespoon broken cashewnuts
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- Dry roast thinai/foxtail millet and moong dal in a heavy bottom pan. Keep the flame low and roast. take care not to burn
- Let the roasted ingredients cool down for 5 minutes. Take them in another vessel/pan, add milk and water, keep it inside the pressure cooker and pressure cook it for 4-5 whistles. Once cooked, let the pressure drop on its own.
- I prefer to cook pot in pot method in pressure cooker as it saves much cleaning. While cooking milk based dishes directly in the cooker there is a chance of lot of splutter and splash through the nozzle, cooking in a pan inside the cooker, saves this a lot.
- Once the pressure drops in the cooker. Heat jaggery with ½ cup of water in a heavy bottom pan.
- Since i m using organic jaggery, i dont strain, if you have doubt on the purity of the jaggery, melt and strain it. When the jaggery bubbles up, add the cooked millet mixture to it and mix well.
- After adding the millet lentil mix, add ¼ cup of water to the vessel in which it was cooked, wash and add it back to the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of ghee to this mixture, mix well. Let this cook until all the liquid is absorbed and the pongal becomes soft and mushy.
- Once the liquid is almost absorbed. and the pongal follows the ladle when stirred, take if off the stove. Before removing it from heat, add edible camphor, mix well and remove it from stove.
- In a small tadka pan, add ghee, roast cashewnuts until golden, towards the end add raisins to the ghee. once the raisins plumps, take it off the stove and add this to the thinai pongal. Serve the pongal warm.
- Pongal usually thickens as it rests, so do take it off when it is a bit saucy not watery, a bit saucy.
- The color of the pongal depends on the color of the jaggery used.
- Edible camphor must be used only a pinch and add it towards the end and take it off the heat. If you add more than the specified amount, it will overpower the original flavor of the dish and makes it unpalatable.
- Any leftovers can be refrigerated.If serving straight from fridge, reheat it for 30 seconds, and serve warm.

MIAMI (AP) — Avisaíl García made his lone All-Star Game appearance on the Miami Marlins’ field. He has owned a house in the city for a few years. The native of Venezuela considers Miami home.
That said, he still had to pass Derek Jeter’s test.
It was at a breakfast with García a couple of weeks ago when Jeter needed assurance that the 30-year-old outfielder truly understood what it would mean to join a team that is building around a young core and thinks it’s on the cusp of finally starting to realize its potential.
“I wanted to look him in the eye,” Jeter said.
The Hall of Famer liked what he saw. The Marlins formally introduced García on Wednesday at their ballpark, with Miami ace Sandy Alcantara — another recipient of a freshly inked contract from the team in recent days — handing him his cap and new No. 24 jersey.
“It was obvious that he wanted to be here,” said Jeter, the Marlins’ CEO. “I’ve dealt with a lot of people in my life and I think I’m a pretty good judge of character in terms of when someone’s telling me the truth or not, and you could see in his eye he was excited at the possibility of coming here. That’s what you want to hear.”
García’s signing — four years, $53 million with the potential for an option year in there as well — was finalized Wednesday. Alcantara’s five-year, $56 million deal with an option for a sixth, was completed Tuesday.
García gets $12 million annually, and the Marlins have a $12 million option for 2026 with a $5 million buyout.
With a labor impasse looming, the Marlins got plenty of things done. Miami is now García’s fifth team, one he joins after hitting 29 home runs with 86 RBIs — both career bests — for Milwaukee in 2021.
In parts of 10 seasons, García has batted .270 with 127 home runs and 475 RBIs. He has played almost exclusively in right field, with limited time in center and left as well.
“I’m blessed, to play for the team that you like, to be home with my family,” García said. “I think it’s a blessing.”
The 26-year-old Alcantara has gone 20-34 with a 3.48 ERA in four seasons with the Marlins. He started 33 games this season for Miami, going 9-15 with a 3.19 ERA, and had 201 strikeouts in 205 2/3 innings.
“As I looked at the club from spring training on, it really crystallized to me that Sandy was that quintessential ace of the staff,” Marlins general manager Kim Ng said.
Ng, Jeter, owner Bruce Sherman and Alcantara were on a makeshift stage Wednesday at the team’s ballpark, under a giant video screen with a simple message.
“Got Our Ace,” the sign read.
Got him for years, too.
“I’m here for a long time now,” Alcantara said.

Above photo: Hanna Park courtesy of VAM Productions. Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) held its finals Wednesday at Koch Theater, Lincoln Center. The finals featured 86 dancers in four divisions: Junior Women and Men aged 12-14 and the Senior Women and Men’s 15-18 Division. It can be mind-numbing watching almost 100 dancers in short solos spanning three and a half hours, but it is also exciting given the high level of talent displayed by some of the young dancers. I remember seeing a young Isaac Hernandez (probably around 13 years of age) in the Junior Division in 2003, blown away by his highly advanced Don Quixote solo. There was no doubt he would have a great future. He is now a Lead Principal Dancer at the English National Ballet and danced in the Tribute to Julio Bocca Friday. I am sure I will have similar memories looking back on this year’s competition as some dancers will find their way to top ballet companies in the near future. YAGP has a successful track record of identifying young talent, with previous winners including Matthew Golding, Hee Seo, Sarah Lane, Joseph Philips (2002); Isaac Hernandez, Brooklyn Mack (2003); Joseph Gorak (2005); Sergei Polunin, Jeffrey Cirio (2006); Melissa Hamilton (2007); Vadim Muntagirov, Skylar Brandt (2008); Jeffrey Cirio (2009); Kimin Kim (2012),(see my previous article on ballet competitions for more information). These events are a big deal as representatives from ballet companies globally are there to find and evaluate talent for their schools and companies. Most Principal Dancers at major companies have a successful track record at these events.
Dancers selected short solos from classical ballet repertory with excerpts from La Esmeralda, Swan Lake, Don Quixote, Coppelia, Sleeping Beauty, Paquita dominating. Like most other competitions, some of the solos have an over-rehearsed feel as the dancers have likely gone through the solos hundreds of times in preparation for the big competition. The solos do play to the dancers’ strengths so they don’t give a complete representation of the skills of the dancer. Nonetheless, the short solos provide insight on technical capabilities such as turning ability and elasticity of jumps.
I don’t envy the judges, including Julio Bocca, Manuel Legris, and Susan Jaffe, as they sorted through many high-level performances–some of professional quality–trying to distinguish among the dancers. My favorites of the Wednesday finals were:
Madison Penny, Master Ballet Academy, AZ, Youth Grand Prix winner. Madison, 12 years of age, delivered a well controlled variation from La Esmeralda, one of the more popular dances that evening. In one segment, she performed an Italian fouetté-type step, banging her tambourine with her foot. She danced a variation from Esmerelda in the Stars of Tomorrow Gala the following evening showcasing highlights from the finals.
Hanna Park, Sunhwa Arts Middle & High School, Korea, 1st Place Junior Women. Hanna, 14, also danced a version from La Esmeralda with great grace and control with nice extension and musicality.
Elisabeth Beyer, Ellison Ballet, NY, Top 12 Junior Women, Natalia Makorova Award. I have watched Elisabeth, 14, in several Ellison Ballet Gala events; the long-limbed Elisabeth is always impressive with great extension. She danced a slower paced dance that I am not familiar with, Satanella. The pace in her solo picked up at the end, and she treated the receptive audience to nicely controlled pirouettes.
Julliette Bosco, Independent, 3rd Place Junior Women. Juliette danced at Ellison Ballet, but was listed in the program as having an independent affiliation. The 14-year old delivered a very smooth La Esmeralda variation, with great emphasis in her leaps. The future looks very bright for this talented dancer.
Takumi Miyae, Kondo Ballet, Japan, 1st Place Junior Men. Takumi, 13, was solid in a solo from Swan Lake with high double tours to solid landings, followed by effortless pirouettes. He also danced the following evening in the Stars of Tomorrow Gala then next evening.
Eliana Vogal, Ballet West Academy, UT, Top 12 Senior Women. The 17-year old was expressive in a solo from La Fille Mal Gardee.
Maho Higashi, Hakucho Ballet Academy, Japan, Top 12 Senior Women. Nice solo from Sleeping Beauty with good musicality.
Carolina Pegurelli, Grupo Jovern Paulista, Brazil. Solo from La Esmeralda performed with nice timing.
Shu Kurihara, Le Course de Ballet IWAKI, Japan. Shi, 17 was impressive in his solo from Talisman with good height on his leaps, nice turns, jeté cloche, and effortless double jeté entrelacé. A very complete solo.
Taro Kurachi, Ellison Ballet, NY, 1st Place Senior Men. Taro, 18, was the highlight of the evening. The 18-year-old with Ellison Ballet was stunning in a Don Quixote solo. He displayed big split double cabriole derriére, six turns in attitude, pirouette á la seconde. The crowd was roaring and wanted him back for a second bow. Showing mature discretion, he declined. The next evening in the Stars of Tomorrow Gala, he was equally phenomenal, delivering a professional quality solo. This time, he did give his fans a second bow. We will definitely be seeing more of Taro in the future.
Luciano Perotto, Rock School, PA, Top 12 Senior Men. Luciano was outstanding in his solo from Diana & Acteon demonstrating great leaping and turning abilities. Muscular in build like former ABT Principal Dancer José Manuel Carreño, he delivered a high-flying performance punctuated by a wild 540. I was surprised Luciano didn’t take a top three finish given his technical maturity and stage presence.
The YAGP website provides the list of the winners. Dancers from Ellison Ballet in New York City performed well. In addition to Taro taking 1st place in the Senior Men’s Division, Gloria Benaglia won 1st place in the Senior Women’s Division; Viola Pantuso was 2nd in the Junior Women’s Division, and Elisabeth Beyer was in the top 12 in the Junior Women’s Division. See my interview with Edward in which he reflects on his school and the importance of competitions.


COVID didn’t just change where we perform our work, it (most likely) permanently altered how we work.
The question is, where do we go from here? Leaders are scratching their collective heads trying to figure out the future of their workforces.
While many companies will allow employees to keep on working remotely full-time, others prefer the concept of hybrid work. Which means, some days you come into the office, some days you work from home. Yet no matter which policy a company chooses, gone are the days when everyone will work in the same physical space all the time. This dynamic calls for inventive ways to collaborate. And one method gaining traction is the 3D hologram.
Recently, ARHT Media released a new product called HoloPod. It’s right out of a science fiction film. HolopPod is a 3D display system that essentially “beams” you into meetings, all from the comfort of your home or office. You can attend the meeting without having to be there, in a way that’s much richer and more compelling than joining via Zoom. This is just one example of a host of 3D Hologram options being unleashed into the real world.
Some companies are developing technologies they claim will provide more engaging experience than staring at people on a screen. The idea is to create the in-person meeting experience without people having to literally be in the same room.
Of course, it may take some time for holograms to go mainstream, but many startups are assuming it’s simply a matter of time before the orders start pouring in. While projection hardware can be cost-prohibitive for consumers, companies with deep pockets can afford it. New software technology now allows ways for laptops, computers, and other devices to foster the hologram experience.
In the past, you needed expert technicians to set up 3D holograms. But at a recent conference, ARHT showed how their HoloPod could be set up quickly via a plug-and-play system. The product was easy to use for those who were “remote”, as cameras capture the person from all angles, with the computer connected to a live stream feed. The technology connects all meeting attendees and allows them to virtually respond to each other in real time.
The beauty of such a system is that people can engage with life-size, three-dimensional representations of those who are literally elsewhere. As such, you can sense nuances like body language, where as with a Zoom meeting you only see one’s face. Body language conveys so much more from a communication standpoint, making meetings much more effective.
Over time, companies can replace 2D video calls with 3D virtual conversations. You’ll be able to collaborate using 3D whiteboards in virtual workspaces. In essence, participants in hologram-driven meetings will have digital clones.
Imagine beaming yourself into a virtual meeting, either to the office 30 miles away or to a colleague’s living room. Maybe even into a hotel conference room or the company off-site. With holograms virtually any type of meeting could be possible. The future we used to dream about is here today.

Despite the NDP government’s worries about money laundering at Metro Vancouver casinos, the Minister of Labour has scheduled a party fundraiser at one in Burnaby.
“After Work With Harry Bains” in the Personas Restaurant at Gateway Casinos’ Grand Villa Casino on May 23 is advertised on the NDP website. Tickets are $100 until May 1, when prices rise to $125.
Bains is to be joined by B.C. Federation of Labour president Laird Cronk and secretary-treasurer Sussanne Skidmore “for an evening of food, drink and great conversation.”
Bains is a target on Cronk and Skidmore’s lobbying registrations, which seek changes to the Labour Code, Employment Standards Act and better compensation for injured workers.
BC Fed executive director Brynn Bourke said neither Cronk nor Skidmore were available for comment because of executive council meetings with all federation affiliates.
Bourke sent a prepared statement from Skidmore: “Laird and I have been long-time members of the NDP. We are happy to take part in this event at a unionized restaurant (Personas).”
Representatives for Bains in the Ministry of Labour referred theBreaker.news to the party office. Asked about the optics of holding a party function at a casino, NDP fundraising officer Dan Coulter said the event is being held at “a location convenient to many of the prospective attendees.”
Bains did not respond to email or a call to his mobile phone.
The Grand Villa Casino hosted Liberal Richard Lee’s recent Burnaby South by-election party. In February 2017, then Transportation Minister Todd Stone and Burnaby-Lougheed candidate Steve Darling held a pre-election fundraiser at Grand Villa, where they charged $175 to $5,000 for admission. In 2015, Mike de Jong, who was then the minister in charge of regulating casinos, held a charity roast for himself at River Rock Casino Resort.
Last December, B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union announced workers at the Grand Villa Casino voted to accept a new four-year collective bargaining agreement after earlier voting to strike.
Earlier this year, BCGEU joined the campaign for a public inquiry into money laundering in B.C.
Premier John Horgan and Attorney General David Eby are waiting for Peter German’s second report, due by the end of March, before deciding on whether to proceed with a public inquiry on money laundering related to casinos, real estate and the opioid crisis.
From 2013 to 2017, Gateway Casino gave the NDP $77,223, including $4,000 to Bains, the Surrey-Newton MLA. Corporations and unions were banned from donating to political parties in fall 2017.
Last fall, the B.C. Lottery Corporation, under Attorney General David Eby, rubber-stamped Gateway’s plan to move its Newton Community Gaming Centre casino licence to the Delta Town and Country Hotel site near the Massey Tunnel in 2020.

Hold Rating for General Mills Amidst Increased Promotions and Rising Labor Costs
Robert Dickerson has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors. He noted that consumers are currently more focused on shopping for value, with promotional activity increasing in frequency as shelf availability improves. This trend is expected to continue, with no reason for promotional frequency to be below pre-pandemic levels. Additionally, Dickerson observed that private labels are becoming more available on shelves, generating a slight headwind for General Mills in the short term, although private label price gaps remain consistent with historical levels.
In the second part of his evaluation, Dickerson pointed out that while grain prices have improved, labor costs are still on the rise. These rising costs are being passed on from suppliers, with labor expected to remain inflationary. However, the analyst suggests that General Mills is looking to offset these increased labor costs with improvements in productivity. He reports that General Mills has been running at a productivity rate of around 2.5-3%, but expects this to increase to 4% due to supply chain improvements.
