'Traffic's songs and the imagery of Jim Capaldi's lyrics brought us adventures and characters that vibrated through the psychedelic underground.' – Robert Plant
Jim was the lyricist behind Traffic's 11 albums, including the hit songs 'Dear Mr. Fantasy', '40,000 Headmen' and 'Paper Sun'. Originally inspired by The Beatles, Jim wrote for the Eagles and played alongside George Harrison, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix
His handwritten lyrics have been reproduced in facsimile, complete with doodles, typos and alterations to reveal the process behind the words that changed the face of music.'As you read these lyrics, ask yourself if anyone in rock ever wrote better. The pirate poet indeed. Jim was a real rough diamond... I loved him.' - Tom Petty
'I'd had this idea for a lyric and that evening while half asleep I managed to finish it off in my head. I got up, wrote it down and went and woke up Steve; it must have been around 4.30 or 5.00 in the morning. Then we went in to the little living room where there was an old upright piano and finished it. It was the first song we wrote together.' - Jim Capaldi
'All these bits of paper would be knocking about and while we were jamming, if I could find a way to sing something that was written down I would just sing it. That's how we created our songs... He was a life-long brother-musician to me and we spent a lot of time together, had a great affection for each other, and understood each other and the way we worked. It's slightly sad, but, for me, Traffic can never be without Jim.' - Steve Winwood
Over 30 pre-eminent musicians have paid tribute to their friend in this special limited edition. Musicians including Paul Weller, Steven Van Zandt and Dave Matthews speak of the impact Jim Capaldi has made on their work.
'Maybe it was the place - it was definitely the time. The arrival of Traffic's songs and the imagery of Jim Capaldi's lyrics drove forward and then ahead on a vast surge of beautiful hope and otherworldliness.' - Robert Plant
Robert Plant writes the Foreword to Mr Fantasy and Jim's wife Aninha Capaldi provides the introduction. Both have personally signed each copy, along with Steve Winwood.
'One of his last wishes was for me to complete what he had started and I promised him I would.' - Aninha Capaldi
Photographs of Jim with his band, friends and family illustrate their words. Taken by renowned photographers and selected from the family's personal archives, they show him performing, relaxing, and exploring the countryside near Traffic's secluded Berkshire cottage.
'When I hear Traffic records and look back on those years, I don't really think of festivals and clubs and rock 'n' roll, I think of tracks on the Berkshire Downs, crows over a coppice. It was a very powerful experience.' - Jim Capaldi
'I knew Jim pretty well. He took part in the Eric Clapton Rainbow concert in 1973. He was an extraordinary artisan on the drums - a real musician as well as a drummer. But for years I had no idea he wrote the sublime lyrics behind Traffic.' - Pete Townshend
Over 30 friends and musicians have contributed to Mr Fantasy, including:
The final 100 copies in the limited edition are signed by Aninha Capaldi and legendary singer-songwriters Steve Winwood and Robert Plant.
A celebration of the life and lyrics of Traffic's drummer, poet and founder, Jim Capaldi. Over 70 handwritten lyrics are illustrated by images of Traffic and the recollections of 40 legendary contributors including Pete Townshend, Tom Petty, Paul Weller, Yusuf / Cat Stevens and many more.
Since 1974 Genesis has created signed limited edition books on behalf of authors and artists ranging from the Beatles to Buckingham Palace.

As Kuehnelt-Leddihn describes it, ochlocracy basically amounts to the essence of the modern era carrying with it a wide variety of baggage including industrialization, mass suffrage, egalitarianism, standardization, mass communications and urbanization. However I agree with Kuehnelt-Leddihn that the level of a civilization ought to be instead measured by its culture, it'sexpressions of the mind. Communism and Nazism are both viewed in this book as ochlocratic inheritors of the French Revolution which I think is misleading, as you could say that more appropriately that all three simply branched off from a modern zeitgeist of mass movements and autocratic governments identifying themselves with the masses. Modern readers will also probably be offended and most likely confused by Kuehnelt-Leddihn's emphasis on the contrast between old aristocratic governments and modern totalitarian movements like Nazism, but this is an entirely valid point. Kuehnelt-Leddihn likes discussing national and religious characters, describing them in a surprisingly confident manner as well as if he was describing his own friends. The book was written during World War II, and Kuehnelt-Leddihn has chapters on a few key nations to discuss his ideas, notably the Soviet Union, Britain and the U.S. the latter which had apparently succumbed the ochlocracy as far back as Andrew Jackson, but I think this is true. Modern democracy is inevitably identified with by Kuehnelt-Leddin with ochlocracy and its obvious flaws. It doesn't have to be absolutist, Kuehnelt-Leddihn adds, but even a constitutional monarchy restored to the German states would help prevent the worst of parliamentary government. I can't help but think that for all Kuehnelt-Leddihn wrote about the resurgence of Europe under Christian values he must have been somewhat satisfied in the new Europe of Adenauer, De Gaulle, and Christian democracy, but of course, the forces of ochlocracy were stronger. As always one of the best part of Kuehnelt-Leddihn's book is the footnotes.
It's not easy for me to remember which of his ideas I got from this book and which from Liberty or Equality. Another idea, in fact one of the themes of this book, are the opposing drives towards identity and diversity. Von Kuehnelt-Leddihn speaks much more favorably of diversity, which may sound odd to some modern conservatives and especially the alt-right. Diversity in the sense of von Kuehnelt-Leddihn has nothing to do with the weird diversity of the leftists, however. I'm sure that von Kuehnelt-Leddih would agree with me that the modern left hides its identitarianism behind a faked appreciation for diversity. Particularly interesting is von Kuehnelt-Leddihns analysis that the Nazis held a majority in Germany because there weren't enough Catholic electoral districts. If you want to see the reckless materialism that men like the early von Kuehnelt-Leddihn warned us about in action, take a look at the history of socialism. Von Kuehnelt-Leddihn was a genius and it even shows in this early work of his.
He also missed the mark in placing his hopes in the United Kingdom and the League of Nations to conserve/restore a "traditional" Europe after a future Allied victory.
Kuehnelt-Leddihn lays into the tendency of modern states to depersonalize people and to turn them into 'human rivers' that blindly serve some national cause en masse.
As long as I read the introduction, I can read chapters out of order.
I understand that Menace of the Herd was Kuehnelt-Leddihn's earlier work, and that he later recanted many of the ideas he presented in this book -- to his explicit embarrassment, at that (and to his credit).
Describing himself as an "extreme conservative arch-liberal" or "liberal of the extreme right", Kuehnelt-Leddihn often argued that majority rule in democracies is a threat to individual liberties, and declared himself a monarchist and an enemy of all forms of totalitarianism.

Wind and solar power generation is set to surge to nearly 50% of total global electricity generation by 2050—all thanks to a boom in battery storage. Battery storage has made meeting the demand for electricity with renewable energy much easier, and, “The result will be renewables eating up more and more of the existing market for coal, gas, and nuclear,” says Seb Henbest, head of Europe, Middle East and Africa for Bloomberg NEF.
Did you know? US solar has grown 39-fold in over the last 10 years! Solar power and other sources of clean energy have grown by leaps and bounds over the last decade thanks to technologies like solar panels, electric cars, and wind turbines. “By the end of 2017, solar power generated more than 2 percent of America's electricity, enough to power 7 million average American homes,” says Environment America, a non-profit focused on protecting and educating the public about the environment. Renewables, “have gone from novelties to core features of the nation's energy landscape,” and as the US continues to transition to clean, renewable energy, they’re predicted to become an even bigger part of the American landscape.
Women currently make up only 32% of jobs in the solar industry, but one organization is looking to change that. GRID Alternatives, an Oakland-based national nonprofit focused on ensuring that everyone has access to clean, renewable energy, is working to introduce Colorado women to the growing solar industry. The women who took part in the program had the opportunity to tour a local solar farm, learn more about the industry, and install solar panels. “In order for us to continue to innovate, we need to continue to have diversity of thought,” says Anna Bautista, the Vice President of Construction at GRID Alternatives.

BACKGROUND Lyme arthritis is the most frequent late manifestation of Lyme borreliosis and has been associated with ocular inflammation.
METHODS A group of 153 children and adolescents with arthritis, 84 of whom had Lyme arthritis and 69 other causes of arthritis, were followed prospectively for 22–73 (median 44) months in the course of a national study.
RESULTS Three of 84 patients with Lyme arthritis had ocular inflammation (4%), including keratitis, anterior uveitis, and uveitis intermedia. All three had symptoms of decreased visual acuity. Whereas anterior uveitis disappeared without sequelae, a corneal scar and a permanent loss of visual acuity in the patients with keratitis and intermediate uveitis remained. Systematic examination of all patients revealed no further ocular involvement. Of 69 patients with other causes of arthritis who were followed in parallel as a control group, four of 15 patients with early onset pauciarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis had chronic anterior uveitis and two of 12 patients with juvenile spondyloarthropathy had acute anterior uveitis.
CONCLUSIONS Ocular involvement with keratitis, anterior uveitis, and intermediate uveitis may occur in children and adolescents with Lyme arthritis. Visual loss appears to be symptomatic, making regular ocular screening of such patients unnecessary.
- Lyme arthritis
- anterior uveitis
- intermediate uveitis

In 1998, Roomy's cousin, Christopher T. Gerow (no, the "T" doesn't stand for Tiberius), released a comic book entitled Sojourn. It was an enjoyable journey and I was disappointed to see it end. So I was ecstatic to hear it was being re-released on the Internet, as well as the potential for more, um, stuff? I dunno. Guess we'll find out!
It's a dark urban fantasy tale and I'll say no more. I'll let you discover it as I did! The new blog was launched today, featuring the first few pages of the comic book, and more pages are promised for each Friday. Now's a good time to start reading it. Hope you enjoy!

Robert Ford was US Ambassador to Syria when the revolt against Syrian president Assad was launched. He not only was a chief architect of regime change in Syria, but actively worked with rebels to aid their overthrow of the Syrian government.
Ford assured us that those taking up arms to overthrow the Syrian government were simply moderates and democrats seeking to change Syria’s autocratic system. Anyone pointing out the obviously Islamist extremist nature of the rebellion and the foreign funding and backing for the jihadists was written off as an Assad apologist or worse.
Ambassador Ford talked himself blue in the face reassuring us that he was only supporting moderates in Syria. As evidence mounted that the recipients of the largesse doled out by Washington was going to jihadist groups, Ford finally admitted early last year that most of the moderates he backed were fighting alongside ISIS and al-Qaeda. Witness this incredible Twitter exchange with then-ex Ambassador Ford:

No limit holdem tips

Limit holdem is one of the top online poker games around. With our limit holdem help you'll start winning in no time. Check out our top five limit holdem tips. Limit Holdem poker games feature the softest competition of any game in the poker room, so it's a useful skill to have. Here are 7 tips to win at limit holdem.
How to Beat Live $1/$2 No-Limit Hold'em Poker Cash Games
I have gotten paid likenthis so many times Everywhere! Dont make a stupid scene. I see lots of players change their raise sizes if they are up or down to try and play larger pots to 'catch up' or 'ride the wave'. Close and visit page. Those small pocket pairs will stack you when they hit their set, or fold when you continuation bet the flop. This is a leak that costs you money. But for the most part you can still assume that many players at your table bet when they simply have a strong hand.
10 common No Limit Hold’ Em mistakes you should know
Fixed-Limit Texas Holdem has been waning in popularity since poker exploded around the turn of the millennium. That being said, it was once the standard in casinos the world over, and to this day it is a very popular form of poker in both cash games and tournaments alike. For players used to the wild and crazy game of chicken that is no-limit holdem, fixed-limit holdem is a game of patience and calculated risk.
These tips are meant to be an introduction to the game of limit holdem for players familiar with no-limit holdem. There are several important differences between no-limit and fixed limit holdem. Because there is a limit on how much you can raise pre-flop, it is more difficult to push players out of the pot. For this reason you will often play multi-way pots post flop in a fixed limit game as opposed to no-limit holdem which is usually heads up post flop. Additionally, the bet sizes are fixed on the flop, turn, and river.
This prevents you from easily forcing your opponents to make a real decision early in the hand. For this reason, play often continues all the way to a showdown. Playing very strong starting hands will allow you to exploit these characteristics of fixed-limit holdem.
You will be favored over the opposition throughout the hand if you are more selective with your starting hands. Strong pairs, AK, AQ, and very strong suited connectors and suited broadway cards are good hands to start with. Open your range up slightly in late position and on the button. Since you cannot be forced out of the pot, and because pots are frequently played 3 and 4-handed, the value of a good draw goes up in limit holdem.

Some of these players are actually good; most are not. They're first-level thinkers, thinking only of their two cards and nothing else. They're clueless to the fact that you've folded the last 30 hands and are now betting hard into them.
What they're thinking is, "I has a pair of jacks; how much? These players are your targets and the source of the bulk of your winnings. You'll often hear new players lament about how it's impossible to beat fish because all they do is call.
This sort of thinking is so fundamentally wrong it's laughable. Players who call too much are the ATMs of the poker world, readily dispensing money to whoever has the patience to wait for a good hand.
You play tight, you make top pair or better and you bet! Not exactly groundbreaking stuff. Play ABC poker, make your good hands and bet them. Loose-passive calling stations will do what they do best: So let them call, stop bluffing them, and value bet your good hands relentlessly. When you play tight before the flop you make your post-flop decisions easier.
By playing solid hands before the flop you will make solid hands after the flop. When you eliminate marginal hands from your repertoire you'll find yourself with fewer difficult decisions after the flop. Your goal is to flop top pair with a good kicker or better. You have to avoid getting caught up in the table flow.

I was responsible for selecting photographs and videos to reflect the award winner narrative. This often required some creative use of stock photos to fill gaps as a result of too few or irrelevant photos from the award winner.
See the complete list of award videos (2008 to 2013).
I worked with the signage company to design the trade show booth for the ONPHA annual conference. The design had to satisfy several criteria, including reflecting the association’s member-driven service and the educational resources we provided. Most of the photos used were shot by myself at various ONPHA and member events.
Use of Photoshop and InDesign to create quarter-size files to the manufacturer specifications.
I had the opportunity to join a group of photographers for a special shoot. We arranged to enter the show before it was open to the public, and we were permitted to use tripods.
The group gave pointers before the event to use a middle f-stop (f5.6 or f8) to ensure you get the entire orchid in focus, and make sure you have a soft or black background. Use of the tripod and remote trigger was essential to eliminate any camera shake and get the sharpest possible images.
I was responsible for developing a fresh, new visual scheme for the Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association’s new blog. The site also needed to be user-friendly enough for other staff to create and edit their own posts.
Content was developed by other staff, while I provided copy editing and tagging for use on the blog.
The site can be seen at writeon.onpha.on.ca.
I assisted a supplier of equipment and medical supplies prepare a proposal for exclusive distribution privileges in the Canadian breast implant market. I provided writing, proposal layout and business cards for the new business venture.
I returned to the Distillery District for their annual Christmas Market. Taking photos at night time can be tricky. First, a tripod is absolutely essential, as you can count on your shots having longer exposure times and shooting by hand would only result in blurry photos. In the digital realm, using a tripod also allows you to reduce your ISO and produce cleaner images with less grain.
The second thing to consider is that scenes at night in urban environments are extremely contrasting. Electric lights fight against the darkest shadows. Our eyes can easily adapt to the high contrast, but our cameras have less ability here. For some shots, I decided to expose for the light. This leaves the darkest area completely in black. The photo of the clocks are a perfect example, where the walls they are on completely disappear, and the detail in the clockface are clear, giving them the impression of floating in the air.
David Usher performance
For another photographer’s meetup, we went to the Distillery District in Toronto. The area is a rejuvenated Victorian-era industrial park, which now houses shopping, art galleries, a brewery, and restaurants. The Victorian feel with cobblestone streets and old buildings mixes with contemporary art and architecture. It’s also a nice spot for their annual Toronto Christmas Market.
From a photogenic perspective, the interesting stuff here are the old trucks, the wine barrels, and the multitude of textures on display. The trick was trying to compose at least one shot where indications of modernity were left out. I think I succeeded with one photo, not including the close-up shots.
For many of the shots in this collection, I used HDR or high dynamic range photography, where multiple exposures are combined together. Sometimes this technique can be pushed to create gritty and high contrast photos.
Folks in Toronto make Niagara Falls a usual destination, sometimes going there for the heck of it. Visit the falls, of course, maybe the casino, and take in the ridiculous sights of Clifton Hill.
Just west of the Falls, a lovely little spot known as Dufferin Islands, a quiet, secluded, man-made area of little ponds, trees, and waterfowl, is a world away from the hustle bustle of Niagara Falls.
I spent some time there after a conference I was attending in Niagara Falls, and took some photos.
2011 was the first time I had been back to Algonquin Provincial Park in a number of years. I was in a new relationship at this point, and it was our first camping trip together. One of the more memorable moments was on a bike ride starting from Lake of Two Rivers. We stopped at a river crossing and encountered a young family where dad, son, and daughter were taking advantage of the hot summer day by jumping off the bridge into the river below. I took many pictures of them jumping and offered to the mom to email her the photos. I did so once back home.

“I love boobies!”
Meetup.com is a great place to meet others with similar interests and share knowledge, network, and improve your own skills. I joined meetups for songwriting, photography, and social get togethers. For this specific meetup, the organizer started with a quick tutorial on how to capture HDR, or high dynamic range, photos. This was the first time I had heard of it, and have been using it regularly since.
Normally in photography, and more so in the digital era, photos have an exposure that tried to balance the lightest lights and the darkest darks. In high contrast scenes, you tend to lose details in the shadows or in the highlights.
To shoot an HDR photo, you need to bracket your photos. That is, take one underexposed, one overexposed, and one in the middle. You can also do it with two exposures. Then, using special software like Photomatix, you can blend the multiple images to taste, and capture details in both shadows and highlights. It’s critical to use a tripod so your shots end up lining up perfectly. When I don’t have my tripod on me, I tend to hold my breath and shoot in high-speed mode, which gets the shots pretty darn close. Plus, Photomatix has a pretty good algorithm for lining up multiple shots.
The meetup organizer chose Graffiti Alley in Toronto to hold this shoot. Tucked in behind Queen Street West, it’s a popular spot for photographers to shoot cool urban models. Here, we focused on the graffiti itself.

March 14, 2014. SC Radio Network. By Matt Long. A South Carolina Senate panel on Thursday advanced legislation that would require physicians who perform abortions to be board-certified in gynecology and obstetrics, as well as having privileges to admit patients to nearby hospitals.
The bill’s sponsor, Spartanburg Republican Lee Bright, made no secret that S. 204 is an attempt to shut down at least one of South Carolina’s three clinics that provide the service. “You want the safety of the facilities,” he told South Carolina Radio Network after the meeting. ”But also anything I can do to limit abortions in South Carolina I’m going to try to do so.”
The bill quickly cleared a Senate subcommittee with no debate, as Senate Medical Affairs Committee chairman Sen. Harvey Peeler, R-Cherokee, wanted it to be taken up at the full committee level due to its controversial nature.
A similar law in Texas forced nearly half of clinics there to close because they were not in compliance. A 2012 law in Mississippi briefly shuttered the state’s only clinic, before a federal judge gave it time to comply with the law.
ACLU of South Carolina director Vicki Middleton said the bill purposefully throws up regulations that make it harder for clinics to operate. “It’s an undue requirement that the medical profession does not deem necessary,” she told South Carolina Radio Network. “It simply serves the purpose of making it impossible for women to get this kind of care at health centers.”
Middleton said that the bill would hurt access, especially for women in rural areas outside South Carolina’s main population centers of Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville. She said Thursday it was too early in the process to speculate on any legal action, should the bill become law.
Bright was not optimistic on the bill’s chances this year, with less than three months remaining in the session. But he said he will fight for its passage. “I’m not going to be a part of the ‘culture of death.’ If others choose to, that’s fine, but I’m going to do everything I can to restrict and eliminate abortion in this state.”

Fabiano Caruana is out of the FIDE World Cup after a shock loss to Kazakhstan’s Rinat Jumabayev. Fabi has dropped below Ding Liren on the live rating list, with Magnus Carlsen, who has now won all four games in Sochi, the only remaining member of the 2800 club. Yu Yangyi and Jorden van Foreest failed to mount comebacks, but Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Adhiban, Jeffery Xiong and Michal Krasenkow succeeded, with the 57-year-old winning a stunning game against 15-year-old Praggnanandhaa. Valentina Gunina knocking out Harika Dronavalli is the only upset so far in Round 3 of the women’s event.
And here’s the day’s live commentary from Loek van Wely and Laurent Fressinet.
Fabiano Caruana is knocked out
The one sensation on the second day of Round 3 of the FIDE World Cup was world no. 124 Rinat Jumabayev knocking out world no. 2 and second seed for the tournament, Fabiano Caruana. Fabi had been pressing with Black on the first day and had White on the second, and initially he seemed to be doing well. Rinat commented:
It was a tough game. It was very fighting from move 1, and it was a very difficult structure, the Carlsbad structure. He tried to attack my king and I tried to find counterplay in the centre or on the queenside, and at some moment I was in time trouble and he sacrificed a rook for my bishop, but luckily I found a very interesting defensive resource in the position and I think I had a good advantage.
Rinat already had the initiative when he played 26…Ba6!
After 27.Rf2 Bc4 it’s Fabiano who would have to defend with White, and instead he went for 27.g5!?, inviting 27…Bxf1. Fabiano must then have been looking at 28.gxf6!, which seems to ensure at least equality, but only if you find and correctly evaluate 28…Bc4 29.Qh6! Ne8 30.Bxc4 dxc4 31.Nf5!
Instead after 10 minutes Fabi went for the straightforward 28.Rxf1?! and was simply an exchange down, though not for long! As Rinat continued:
On move 30 he offered a draw, but I thought I was already much better and I refused it, but in two moves I made a mistake and I almost lost the game. Fortunately for me I found a way to give my queen, but to keep my position. And after that I think it was about equal, or Fabiano even was better.
If Rinat had played 32…Nd6! he would have been completely winning, but after 32…Nf6? Fabi was able to pounce with 33.Nxf6+! Qxf6 34.fxg6 Qxg6
35.Bxf7+! was a fine blow — 35…Rxf7? loses because of the loose rook on b5, to 36.Qa8+! Ne8 37.Qxe8+ Kg7 38.Qxb5 — but after 35…Qxf7! 36.Rxf7 Rxf7 the game went on.
It was a dangerous position for White, but after Fabi made the time control the assumption was he’d collect himself, dig deep and navigate safely to tiebreaks — or perhaps more, if his opponent blundered. Instead, Fabiano was the latest player to make a blunder on move 41, just when you’ve relax after surviving a time scramble. 41.Qd2!, hitting the g5-rook, was an only move, but Fabi played 41.Qc4? — a move which was also suggested by Loek van Wely, as Laurent Fressinet reminded him!
The move allows Black to make an almost instant draw with 41…Nf4+, but Rinat had all the time he needed to spot that 41…h5! was vastly stronger. Now the threat of 42…Nf4+ doesn’t make a draw, but gives checkmate next move: 43.Kh4 Rg4#.
Fabiano played the sad computer-approved defence of 42.Kg2 h4 43.Kh3, giving up a piece, and you could still imagine him posing problems in the objectively lost position. It wasn’t easy, but when Rinat found 55…Rd3! it really was over.
“At this moment I totally realised that I’m winning, because it’s winning by force and I was happy”, Rinat said afterwards, and the game continued just three more moves. 56.Qe1 (of course 56.Rxd3 runs into 56…Nf4+, winning the queen) Nf4+! 57.Kf2 Rgxg3 58.Qe4 Rg2+ and Fabiano resigned, since he’s going to have to give up his queen for a rook, and the other rook will deliver checkmate.
It had already been a tough World Cup for Fabiano, with his opponent testing positive for COVID-19 during their Round 2 game, and now his event has ended early and brutally. To rub it in, the loss meant Fabiano fell out of the 2800 club and even dipped below Ding Liren to world no. 3.
The one consolation is that for the next official list Fabi’s 2798.5 will be rounded up to 2799, and as the player to have played more games in July he’ll still be ranked no. 2 above Ding Liren. The World Cup loss, however, means Fabiano’s routes to the 2022 Candidates Tournament and a World Championship match have been reduced. With no rating spot this time round, he still has the Grand Swiss, but if that fails he’ll be forced to play the series of Grand Prix events in February-April next year.
Magnus Carlsen doesn’t have any such problems, and in fact became the only player in either the Open or Women’s World Cup to have won all his classical games so far when he beat Aryan Tari again. It hadn’t been easy, as he mentioned:
I thought especially the first game was very, very tough. I was spending a lot of time and I was not getting anywhere, and it was really nervous for both of us I think in time pressure, and then fortunately he made a couple of mistakes there and I managed to win, and then I sort of calmed down. Today I just tried to play a game, since I feel that I haven’t played so much classical chess in a long time and I’m playing a World Championship match, so I need training. That’s why I wanted to play a serious game today, and I’m happy with the way it unfolded. I was never in danger and eventually I ground him down.
Life is good.
Magnus has now climbed to 2854.6, giving him a 55.6 points lead over Ding Liren on the live rating list, though as we noted in our article on Magnus Carlsen spending an unbroken 10 years as world no. 1, the gap has been wider.
The biggest was in October 2013, when Magnus was 74 points ahead of Vladimir Kramnik, with 2870 to Vladimir’s 2796. Note also that if Ding Liren did gain the no. 2 spot that would for his first time ever on an official list.
No way back
The only other player to score a 2:0 win in the Open section on Monday was Croatia’s Ante Brkic, who completed a whitewash of 90 points higher rated Salem Saleh. Hitting back on demand is tough, and 12 players who took the lead in Game 1 went on to qualify with a draw in the second game.
Those were Daniil Dubov (vs. Vladimir Malakhov), Kacper Piorun (vs. Jorden van Foreest), Alexander Grischuk (vs. Alan Pichot), Anton Korobov (vs. Kirill Georgiev), Vladislav Kovalev (vs. Bobby Cheng), Vladimir Fedoseev (vs. Timur Gareev), Velimir Ivic (vs. Matthias Bluebaum), Dmitry Andreikin (vs. Nihal Sarin), Harikrishna (vs. Contantin Lupulescu), Amin Tabatabaei (vs. Yu Yang), Sergey Karjakin (vs. Grigoriy Oparin) and Nikita Vitiugov (vs. Alexei Shirov).
As you can see, some top stars, headed by 2019 World Cup semi-finalist Yu Yangyi, have also left the event. In most cases, they never really got a chance to hit back.
Five players did make a comeback, however, with world no. 6 Shakhriyar Mamedyarov living to fight another day. He took the slow burn approach against Haik Martirosyan, exchanging queens on move 15 for a position where his bishop pair gave him some edge. He eventually won a pawn, but only converted a win in a rook ending on move 86.
Adhiban’s opening choice was controversial, but ultimately it worked to perfection against Vidit, with a structural advantage, converted into tactical chances and ultimately a winning opposite-coloured bishop endgame.
Adhiban-Vidit promises more tiebreak fun!
Nils Grandelius came within touching distance of sealing the deal after his epic 120-move victory over Jeffery Xiong the day before, but he grabbed his opponent’s extra pawn at just the wrong moment and walked into the sucker punch 31.Be5!, threatening mate on h8.
There was nothing to be done, and Nils resigned after 31…Bxe5+ 32.Qxe5. Xiong, who knocked Anish Giri and Jan-Krzysztof Duda out of the 2019 FIDE World Cup, will be a formidable opponent in the tiebreaks.
Pavel Ponkratov hit back against Leinier Dominguez’s conqueror Jakhongir Vakhidov, but the game of the day was 57-year-old Michal Krasenkow’s remarkable comeback against 15-year-old Praggnanandhaa. The wild opening had been seen before, but Michal commented that it seemed neither of the players knew it.
The most spectacular position of the game was when Michal casually castled on move 25.
With the d2-knight unpinned, 25…Bxe4 would now lose to the fork 26.Nxe4+. Krasenkow commented:
Later several times I thought that the game was over and I was winning and my opponent always found fantastic defence, especially when I castled, which he missed, of course. I thought it was over, but he really played excellently and found a fantastic defence.
Praggnanandhaa found the series of only moves 25…Qxd2! 26.Qxb7 Nd5! 27.h6 c3! 28.h7 Qh6 29.Qa7+ Kc4!
It turns out the black king is safe on c4 and objectively White has nothing better than taking a draw with 30.Qa2+ Kc5 31.Qa7+. Of course a draw was not what White needed, but 30.Bg4?! was a losing move after 30…c2! The game continued 31.Qa2+ Kb4 32.Qb2+ Kc4
Here 33.Re1! by Krasenkow was both the best move in the position and, ultimately, a trap! Praggnanandhaa could and should simply have taken the h7-pawn with 33…Qxh7!, but instead he played the losing 33…Nf4?, which ran into 34.h8=Q!
The problem for Pragg was that after 34…Qxh8 his queen was no longer defending the f4-knight or threatening to support the c-pawn queening. Michal played the winning 35.Re4!, hitting the f4-knight as well as threatening a mating attack by taking the d4-knight. After 35…c5 (stopping mate comes first!) 36.Rxf4 White was simply a rook up, with Michal showing his experience as he also found the simplest conversion.
39.Rxd4+! Qxd4 40.Bxe6+ Kc5 41.Qxd4+ Kxd4 and now White had an extra bishop with a trivial win. An incredible game!
Those five match-ups featuring comebacks will be joined by eight matches that ended with two draws, to make 13 tiebreaks in the Open section on Tuesday. Some were hard-fought, such as the 73-move Shankland-Areshchenko and Gelfand-Artemiev, but it largely felt that both players preferred to take the battle to tiebreaks. The rock paper scissors “handshake” will be hard to beat…
…while some questions remained.
Apart from Caruana-Jumabayev, meanwhile, there were another four matches in which one of the players won after a draw on Day 1. It was the end of the road for a star of previous World Cups, David Navara, who was ground down in a drawish looking knight endgame by Azerbaijan’s Vasif Durarbayli. Jan-Krzysztof Duda did the same to Sam Sevian in a rook endgame, while there were two impressive wins for rising stars.
19-year-old Andrey Esipenko seemed to come prepared with a new idea in the opening and beat Nijat Abasov with great ease, while 15-year-old Javokhir Sindarov followed up his win over Firouzja with a brilliant game against Jorge Cori. The 34 minutes spent on the pawn sacrifice 11.Qd2! were well-spent, while 14…f6 gave another chance to shine.
15.Qe2! (threatening Bc4+, winning the black queen) 15…Be6 16.Ba6! saw Jorge compelled to give up his queen with 16…Nxa6 17.Rxd4. In the endgame Jorge at least came close to establishing a fortress, but Javokhir broke through in style.
77.Qf6! Rxf6 78.Kxf6 Kh7 79.Kf7 and Black resigned, since it’s zugzwang. 79…Kh6 is met by 80.Kg8 and the only legal move is 80…g5, giving White a passed pawn.
Sindarov will play Piorun next, and remains on course for a quarterfinal against Magnus Carlsen.
Gunina makes it through, as Carissa Yip is taken to tiebreaks
The theme of the Women’s World Cup being much more predictable than the Open continued on Monday, with the only upset (on paper) in Round 3 being that Valentina Gunina knocked out Harika Dronavalli after holding a draw in the second game. It had looked as though Harika would hit back, but 35.Be4! was the way to defend the bishop while maintaining all White’s threats. 35.Qd7? was seized upon by Valentina.
35…Re7! 36.Qxc7 and the game fizzled out into a draw.
17-year-old Carissa Yip was the sensation of the first day of Round 3 for beating Nana Dzagnidze, but her sacrificial approach in the opening with White in the next game looked a bad idea when she only needed to draw.
It led to a position where Carissa had an extra pawn but a horribly exposed king. Nevertheless, there were chances to hold, with only the little move 30.h3? condemning her to defeat.
The problem? The pawn takes the square away from the white queen, so that now Nana could play 30…Rdd5! (threatening Rxf5), since after 31.Re8+ Kh7 White can no longer play 32.Qh3+ and give checkmate. Nana went on to win comfortably, so that Carissa faces her second tiebreak in Sochi.

"I'm all for equality, but I'm not a feminist," is something I used to say with great gusto as a teenage girl.
I hesitated to use the f-word for years, because I was afraid that it would make me less likable. That it would mean I could only behave in a single way, for fear of being a "bad feminist." I was convinced that being a "good" feminist meant I would have to give up bras, makeup, and manicures, when really—feminism is about choices—be they sticking to your mascara'd doe-eyes or going bare-faced. Coincidentally, one of the choices I have made in recent years is to proudly ID as feminist.
Feminism gets one hell of a bad rap, and as far as I'm concerned it's the other f-word. Declaring that you're a feminist in social spaces can have mixed reactions, ranging from pleasant surprise to withdrawal. Sometimes, when I say that I'm a feminist, people act as though I'm about to take off my bra, douse it in kerosene, light it on fire and throw it into a busy intersection—only after I spit on a man, that is. Sorry to disappoint, but I forgot my matches tonight, let's reschedule?
Using "feminist" as coded language for "sad man-hating single woman" is lazy and irresponsible as best. Don't flatter yourself—feminism is not about men—we have the patriarchy to fulfill that need. So no, I'm not about using my feminism as a way of being palatable to men, or using it as a stopgap for inadequacies I feel.
I don't owe anyone an education either: if men want to engage with feminism, they can do so on their own time by doing what I did: Googling and/or reading a book. But, I'm not here to make my beliefs easy to digest or convenient for them—after all, if I have found a way to question the last twenty plus years of socialization, you can too.
I began to openly declare that I am a feminist in the last year or so because I followed a few women on Twitter who inspired me. These women helped me finally come to terms with the fact that feminist isn't a dirty word. I am grateful that the women I follow push me to question what I believe every single day; using their guidance, I have been able to work past the ugliest bits of internalized misogyny I had reserved within, and helped me come to peace with myself, and be a better woman, sister, friend.
Before I chose to learn more about feminism, I was awful—judgmental, slut shame-y, competitive in the worst way. The stuff of horror movies, really—okay, maybe not horror movies, but maybe teen movie mean girl type stuff. Women are socialized to feel as though other women are the enemy, perhaps because the system recognizes that there is incredible strength in solidarity.
I remember my senior year of high school as really being a boiling point for anxiety and competition. Senior year is all-consumingly stressful, especially when you live in the Silicon Valley. Growing up in that hyper-competitive environment leads you to have some unkind opinions of others. Applying to college in an environment like that? Even worse.

People make decisions about what to eat based on their beliefs and backgrounds, including health, political, environmental, cultural, or religious ideals. For some people, that carries over into what they choose to feed their dogs and cats. In one study, 100% of people who fed cats a vegetarian diet reported eating vegetarian diets themselves.
Amy Short from Brooklyn, N.Y., tells WebMD that she began feeding her domestic shorthaired cats, Olive and Georgia, a commercial vegan diet as 3-month-old kittens. “Because I am a vegan, I strive to live my life as compassionately as possible,” she says. “I had real dissonance with the idea (and brief practice) of buying animal-based food for my pet animals.”
Besides a little dental trouble for Georgia and springtime allergies for Olive, Short says the cats, which are now 8 years old, are “healthy, happy.”
Short says she hasn’t gotten much pushback from veterinarians, in part because she hasn’t told some of them about the cats’ vegan diet.
But feeding dogs and cats a no-meat diet is controversial and can be risky. Here’s what you need to know if you’re considering it.

Blue Ash approves luxury apartments
- Staff Cincinnati Business Courier
The Blue Ash City Council has approved a controversial luxury apartment project, Local 12 reported.
The new apartment project, called “4900,” is a multi-family development that will be built on Hunt Road at the site of the former Thriftway grocery store.
The approval for the project came even though neighbors of the property complained that the apartment would be an eyesore to the community. The zoning board forced the developer to revise the original plans.
The project will hold more than 200 apartment units.

advisory committee that will be responsible for developing a plan for carrying out the initiative. He also named Yale University’s Richard P. Lifton and NIH deputy director Kathy Hudson to head the group.
The budget for the initiative proposed for fiscal 2016 calls for spending about $70 million on developing new methods for achieving near-term objectives that use recent innovations in genomics to diagnose and treat cancer. The idea is to develop targeted drug therapies for specific types of cancer—“kind of like using a smart bomb instead of chemotherapy, which is more like carpet bombing,” Collins said.
The precision medicine initiative proposes to allocate another $130 million or so to build a massive database of detailed health and genomic information on 1 million Americans who volunteer to participate in the effort. Doctors would be able to identify crucial variations in their patients’ genomes by comparing the patients’ genomic data against this master database.
Amassing such a long-term, large-scale cohort “gives us access to the kind of deep information and the kind of power that we have not had before,” Collins said. “That means we need to create a whole new set of approaches for collecting every kind of variable from participants.”
A database of 1 million whole genomes—a single human genome is about 350 gigabytes—also will require innovations in high-performance computing, managing Big Data, and in predictive analytics. It also would serve as a powerful test bed for a wide array of new applications in mobile health, and in improving the utility of electronic medical records for patient care and research. Such a database also is expected to drive innovations in genomics that include new ways of assessing the risk of disease, why some patients remain resilient even with genetic mutations known to cause disease, and a greater understanding of so-called “knockout genes” in humans, Collins said.
He later added, “This will be a phenomenal foundational platform for testing all manner of interventions that will focus on both wellness and the management of chronic disease.”
Collins said he began calling for an initiative like this over a decade ago, and now a series of technological trends are coming together to finally make it feasible.
These trends include whole-genome sequencing for under $5,000, smartphones and wearable devices that can capture personal health and fitness information, healthcare providers’ widespread adoption (over 90 percent) of electronic medical records, and cloud-scale computing power.
The concept of precision medicine is not new, Collins said. “If you go to the optometrist, you expect to get eyeglasses that are actually for you, and not a generic person. If you need a blood transfusion, you probably want that to be matched to you, and we’ve been doing that for almost a century.”
Nevertheless, “It’s still the case that much of medicine is one-size-fits-all, and we’d like to change that if it’s going to improve outcomes,” Collins said. “That includes such things as genomics, of course, but also other kinds of technologies, access to electronic medical records, the mHealth revolution, and so on.”

Made from 55% Bluefaced Leicester and 45% Silk with a generous 800m per 100g, this yarn is hand dyed in shimmering complimentary tones, making it perfect for giving special lace projects a ‘wow’ factor.
The combination of Bluefaced Leicester wool gives the yarn structure while the silk provides a beautiful sheen and makes the colours glow wonderfully. The blend of both fibres makes the yarn strong enough to be blocked well and show off lace patterns to their best advantage.
The Tweed Imps colourway was used by Kate Davies in the pattern, "A Hap for Harriet," included in her Happit book.
Please note: yarns are dyed in batches, please make sure that you order enough yarn for your project as dye lots do vary between batches and colourways may not perfectly match.
Gleem is sold as a skein. We are happy to wind the skein into a ball for you (just leave us a note to do so in the comment box). Please note that all skeins once wound into a ball are non-refundable.

I love old guitars. New guitars have no soul...yet. But old guitars tell stories. They tell tales of old smoke-filled dive bars with remnants of beer splattering encased in between rusty screws and beat up pick ups. They have performed. And that is the reason why we love instruments so much; it is in their performance. So give me the most beat up ugly guitar and that is a guitar that has been truly loved by an owner. It is the 30 year old guitars in pristine condition that scare me. If that guitar sat around and wasn't played, that's telling me something. That is the story of a guitar that never found the right tone for someone.
This brings me to Sweet Pickle's (aka Mr. Laflen to some, key axe wielder in Them Slack Jawed Sons of Bitches as well as life-long member of The Ex-Old Ladies) 1982 Candy Apple Red AVRI '62 Stratocaster. No one sees this guitar much lately, but I am lucky enough to currently have it on loan and in my possession. For that reason I decided to snap some pictures of this beauty and tell it's tale via Sweet P.
This guitar, 1982 Candy apple red Fullerton reissue strat, was my main axe with my old bands in the 90's, The Lowdown(funk-rock) , Big Joe(alt-country), the Money Shot and SpaceFish(hippy Jam band). I have some great pics somewhere.
So I purchased this guitar somewhere in the mid-90's. A time I refer to when I was in Tucson as 'the lost weekend'.
I had a fullerton black maple necked reissue stolen from my house in the Sam Hughes district near the University of AZ. I loved that guitar and I was crushed to come home and find it missing. My band practiced in the house so it was easy for the wolves to figure out there was an to be had. I came home to find the input jack of the guitar still attached to the cord meaning they grabbed my guitar and literally ran out the back door with it. The only thing left was the jack of the guitar as a memory of my own blackie. No insurance. So... I looked in our weekly paper and in the newspaper and found a Red reissue strat for sale for 550 bucks. The guy was freshly married and clearly on a new path. He pulled the perfect condition strat literally from under the bed where it was stored. I played it and new it'd be the one. I think I ended up paying 500 but can't recall. We were both happy with the deal. I still do not recall how I got the money for this guitar back then as I was as poor as everyone else with pickup jobs and par-time work while I was going to school.
I primarily used this guitar with a 4-10 bassman, vintage rat pedal, cs-9 chorus and Boss DD-2 delay. It served me well and the neck pickup is amazing.
That is the story on this beauty, now let's look at some pictures of this true relic. And next time, you see him on stage make sure to ask Pickle where the hell is the red strat!

WHAT WE DID
We were asked to visualize their new strategy and develop an identity that amplified and supported their new name: FirstMet. They also wanted to retain equity from their existing brand (a heart icon and colorways) to not alienate current users. The name itself told a very strong story, about the excitement you feel when you first meet that someone. They needed an identity that talked about connections and the unfolding of that relationship, was simple, easy, genuine, and expressed how easy and simple and low key their process is.
Our solution: a unique and memorable heart logo built from two simple parts that come together to make a connection and the unfolding of that story. It stands out in a competitive set filled with heart icons. It's familiar and approachable yet distinctive in the category and delivers on their strong brand story. Tell us how you ‘FirstMet’!

A Good Day to Die Hard
Will the Real McClane Please Stand Up
Starring: Bruce Willis, Jai Courtney
Review written by Tom Bevis
Alright, let me start right off the bat by saying I love Die Hard.
Die Hard is one of those quick action movie franchises that was loud enough, big enough, bright enough, and suddenly funny enough for me to really dig when I was a kid. Mind you, I wasn’t even a year old when the first one hit theaters, I must’ve been three years old or so when the second one came around, but I remember seeing Die Hard with a Vengeance in theaters against my mother’s wishes. I prepared for the worst when she found the folded ticket stub in the pocket of my jeans while doing laundry.
What? I was, like, eight years old or something. If you got a problem with my mom doing my laundry when I was eight, write a letter, and address it to All of America.
But anyway, instead of the rapid fury of rage I was expecting, I was bombarded with questions about the movie instead, and in the midst of the discussion – as much of a discussion as an adult can have with an eight-year-old, anyway – she forgot she was supposed to be mad, and I forgot I was supposed to be scared of her being mad. Thus begins a lifetime of seeing movies my mother tells me specifically not to see.
The point I’m trying to get at, though, is that this is a franchise that is embedded in my childhood. From sneaking out to see it with friends after being told not to, to hanging out in the back room of a comic book store my mom worked at, watching the first two installments on VHS, to watching and reviewing Live Free or Die Hard in 2007, this is a franchise that has impacted my movie-viewing preferences from a very early age and progressed, in one form or another, into adulthood.
Now, that’s why it’s tough for me to say that A Good Day to Die Hard kinda sucks.
Kinda sucks? No, it really sucks. It’s not good. It wasn’t fun, and it was unfathomably disappointing.
Okay, okay. I’ll admit that I may be evaluating this from a somewhat biased position, given the franchise’s apparent impact on my background as a movie-goer. Let me start from the beginning. I’m talking with my pal, Fritz Champagne, in the auditorium when the lights fade. Anticipation is thick, hopes are high, everyone’s happy and feeling good, even though the theater refused to turn the air-conditioning on. The movie kicks off (and it kicks off pretty quickly, I might add). The first thing I notice is it’s missing the gritty-yet-playful atmosphere present in each and every Die Hard film to date.
And that’s what I can chalk the entire movie up to. It doesn’t feel like a Die Hard movie. At best, it plays like a poorly-written Die Hard fan fiction. Most of the time, it seems like it could have been any other action movie at all. And not a very good one at that. All the things that would have made it seem (at the very least) like a Die Hard movie seemed thrown in at last minute as an afterthought. This includes weak throwbacks to earlier films (the bad guy hates Americans, he says, “especially cowboys”), scenes that attempt to homage the franchise’s flagship production – even the signature John McClane tagline (“Yippee-ki-yay, motherf******”) seemed forced and out of place.
This seems important, so I’ll talk about this right away. It’s important to understand that Die Hard worked so well initially because John McClane seemed like a normal guy. That’s what makes the whole cowboy-yippee-ki-yay thing so funny, because, really, he isn’t that kind of person. Then there are a bunch of things that lent to the charm and instant success of Die Hard: the fact that Willis’ McClane is running around with no shoes (establishing a trend for quasi-episodic gimmicks within the franchise), Willis’ signature smirk, and the low-key everyman humor. Yeah, John McClane, as a character, was kind of a clown first and an action hero second (a reluctant one as that, evidenced by his “I hope I don’t die” quip during the famous fire hose scene).
Most of these carried on into the sequels. The comedy, the gimmicks (the sweater in Die Hard 2, his hangover in Die Hard With a Vengeance, his hatred for technology in Live Free or Die Hard), his likability and believability as an everyman. In each of the four earlier films, he still seems like a sloppy combatant, incompetent at high-speed chases, relying more on luck than actual skill. This is the McClane we love, the person we can relate to and, somehow, project ourselves onto somehow.
Now, let me tell you how to make A Good Day to Die Hard. All that stuff that makes a Die Hard movie, the stuff I listed above, okay, take that, crumple it up, and flush it down a toilet. Seriously, pretend like you’ve never seen a Die Hard movie before. Cast a name that’s recognizable to get asses in the seats yet new enough to still be affordable, buy a half-assed script, hire a half-assed director, and you’ve done it!
Here’s A Good Day to Die Hard:
The trademark humor is gone.
Willis’ smirk is gone.
McClane is a war machine.
Seriously. Nothing here plays out like you’d imagine a Die Hard film to. In one scene, McClane is instantly recognized by a CIA operative. Y’know, because he’s so high key and such an interesting asset. Oh yeah, did I mention, there’s some serious spy warfare going on in this movie? There’s very little comedy in this whatsoever. McClane has gone from the clowning, reluctant hero to a brooding, determined mankiller who’s clearly just too legit to quit (read: he’s taking himself way too seriously, which seems to be the antithesis of McClane).
I blame much of this on the script and the writer(s)’s lack of understanding of the franchise. But even if it were any other action movie, the direction, some of the performances, and the out-of-this-world story are too much to take. The whole film moves like a jaunty state-fair-grade dark ride, going from scene to scene the way an automated cart would move from room to room. This movie consists of four or five: one that includes a perfectly executed car chase that sees McClane flipping cars, driving over semi trucks in traffic, and more, one that involves weapons-grade uranium, and one that involves a CIA-laden shootout.
Even the long-tradition of episodic gimmicks is relatively absent here, making an appearance about halfway through the movie (as if, weeks after shooting began the director realized they needed a hangover or lack or shoes to relate to the earlier films) in the guise of McClane complaining that he’s supposed to be on vacation. At least they didn’t go with the Danny Glover ala Lethal Weapon Whatever fallback “I’m too old for this.”
It hurts my heart to say this is a terrible Die Hard movie, but that’s inaccurate. It’s not a Die Hard movie. It’s a bunch of rich people making a very expensive piece of fanfiction. Imagine the Lethal Weapon 5 production from that episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia with an astronomical budget and real people attached to it. Surprisingly, I have a feeling Mac and Dennis’ Lethal Weapon 5 was a better movie than A Good Day to Die Hard.

Mikel has done ok again this season for us however a few results where we have been hammered have seen him have a poor defence in front of him. He has been at fault for the odd goal but he has saved us from many more goals. I would say he is the best goalie in the division though. Would love to keep him till end of season. Permanent though I'm afraid is just a dream.
He's a great keeper at this level - probably one of the best in this division. We'd love to keep him but I doubt that'll only happen if we got promoted (ha!).
You've got yourselves a good one!
Reading seem to be blessed with a talented group of goalkeepers!
Mikkel has been outstanding for us again this year, some of the saves he's pulled off have been phenomenal and opposition managers have often complimented his performances for us. He's adored by the fans and it's obvious he loves the club, but he's an ambitious guy and won't hesitate in going back to Reading if it means playing a better standard of football regularly.
Thanks for allowing us to have him for this long, you've got a very very talented young player.
He has been outstanding behind a very porous defence. Very few of the goals have been down to him. He played well at Sheff. Weds. despite letting in 6. Hope you have big win on boxing day!


Specialised FPGA design for advanced digital receiver
June 19, 2008 --
RF Engines (RFEL), the specialists in digital signal processing for FPGA, have been awarded a further contract by Thales’ Land & Joint Systems Division for the rapid supply of a complex FFT-based design on a single Altera Cyclone II FPGA. The design is a key requirement for a new digital receiver design.
The contract is for a complete chip design comprising a bespoke 32,768-point FFT and associated functions and controls, including implementation of specialist algorithms, some proprietary Altera IP, conversion to floating-point magnitude format, and the serialisation of the buffered output data.
Reuse of some of RFEL’s existing IP will also enable the design to be highly optimised, as well as meeting a demanding development timescale.
The extensive experience that RFEL has in this area of signal processing, coupled with the use of existing IP cores for FPGA, means that RFEL offered Thales a very cost effective and low risk route to achieving a critical processing element in the system.
The Thales overall system design approach will allow for the future upgrading of the system to accommodate developments in analogue to digital converter and other device enhancements, and so the RFEL design has also been structured in such a way as to accommodate these overall system changes.
Thales said, “The key part of the design was being able to pack as many functions into as small an FPGA as possible. RFEL’s design is extremely compact and efficient and provides a relatively low-risk solution to alternative design approaches that we have considered.”
“We’re obviously very pleased to be working on another important project with the Thales team at Crawley and continuing a relationship that has existed for a number of years,” said John Summers, RF Engines’ CEO. “It does help to have good working relationships across all levels of the businesses, and, as always, a very clear set of requirements from the Thales team.” About Thales UK and Thales

Earlier today we showed you some leaked images of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover—it turns out that those actually were correct, and as of less than an hour ago, the new Range Rover has been unveiled. The new model promises to keep the legendary off-road capability while transforming it's on-road handling and agility. It's the first SUV to use a unibody made entirely of aluminum which helps the US market Range Rover achieve a weight savings approximately 700lbs when compared to a similarly equipped outgoing model.
While we feel that the new model might look a little bit too much like a Ford Explorer, or possibly a Flex, the vehicle is still undeniably a Range Rover. Iconic design elements such as the floating roof and the clamshell hood have survived the test of time for over 40 years now and are present in the new model as well. Designers had to battle the realities of rising fuel prices and the ongoing issue of sustainability in their final product, as we all know, prior Range Rover's weren't known for their fuel economy or aerodynamics. "Designing the next generation Range Rover, following over forty years of success, came with a huge responsibility to protect the DNA of such an icon," said Gerry McGovern, Land Rover Design Director and Chief Creative Officer. "Our design team worked incredibly hard to capture the elegant proportions and pure surfaces which have been a feature of the best Range Rover designs."
The next-generation of Land Rover's Terrain Response System, which optimises the vehicle for off-road driving conditions, is being unveiled on the new model. "Terrain Response 2 Auto" promises enhanced off-road performance while being fully automatic. No word yet on whether the vehicle will come with a low-range transfer case or optional differential locks.
The 5.0L engine borrowed from Jaguar has been retained for the new model, when combined with the new ZF eight-speed transmission significantly improves aerodynamics and with the lighter weight of the new vehicle results in a improvement in fuel economy, as well as a reduction in CO2 emissions. While Range Rover models are no stranger to air-suspension, the new model features a completely re-engineered system at all four courners. Combining air-suspension with adaptive dynamics to optimise the on-road ride is a first for the line.
The completely re-designed interior bears little in resemblance to the outgoing model, and shares a lot in common with it's little brother the Evoque, although slightly more up-market. As you've come to expect from the Range Rover line, there's extensive use of high-quality wood veneers and leather throughout the cabin. The digital dash has been retained from the outgoing model, with Evoque-like drive controls which pop out of the center console. If the navigation system is the same, or similar to that of the Evoque, we can tell you from experience that it works well.
Offering over 4.7 inches of additional legroom in comparison to the outgoing model, and the availability of captains chair seating in the rear, the new Range Rover provides an even higher quality and more comfortable ride for all of its occupants. This is a welcome addition to the model as the back seat always seemed a bit cramped for a relatively large car. This will however come at the cost of reduced breakover angles for off-road use due to the increase in wheelbase.
With a power tailgate being offered on the Evoque, and Sport models prior to the full-sized model, customers have been asking for it fervently and their calls have been answered with a "thoughtfully designed" split power folding upper and lower tailgate setup.
According to Land Rover, the new Range Rover "has been subjected to Land Rover's punishing on-and off road test and development regime." Test drivers and engineers have also covered "millions of miles" over the last 18 months in over 20 countries to ensure that the new model is ready for production.
The vehicle was designed and engineered in Britain at Land Rover's development centers throughout the United Kingdom and will be manufactured in a new aluminum production facility at the iconic Solihull plant.
Full Specifications and Pricing will be released in September—we'll be sure to keep you updated with any new developments.
From Land Rover's Press Release:

Apple's iPhone 5S / iPhone 6 may have been revealed early, if this render is anything to go by. A graphic designer has turned to Apple's patent portfolio to produce 3D rendered images that guess at the design, features and functionality of the company's next-generation iPhone.
Designed to replace the current-generation iPhone 5, it's no secret that Apple is working on the iPhone 6 - but, as is traditional, the company is playing its cards close to its chest, refusing to divulge details ahead of launch for fear of damaging sales of its existing iPhone models.
To whet fans' appetites, InventHelp's Nickolay Lamm has scoured Apple's portfolio of patents for recent filings that may point to research carried out for the iPhone 6's design, using them to provide details to a graphic designer to produce product renders that offer a glimpse of one possible direction the company may be taking for the smartphone.
"I feel that the sales success of the iPhone 5 overlooks the fact that it was a pretty boring phone," Lamm said. "I looked at all of Apple’s recent patents and chose four which Apple may include in the iPhone 6 or later version. I then hired a 3D graphic designer to illustrate each of these patents so that the illustrations were as realistic as possible. I gave him very specific guidelines to follow."
The designer, Matteo Gianni, has generated the photo-realistic images based on Apple's current design ethos, and has based their technologies on patents recently filed by the company. Some features, however, are more likely than others: the suggestion that Apple's iOS platform will get integrated augmented reality functionality, dubbed 'Transparent Mode,' seems more than believable, but the suggestion that the iPhone 6 will feature a hybrid LCD and E Ink display, capable of being viewed in full sunlight and boosting battery life considerably, seems less so given how recent the company's patent on the matter is.
Other suggested product features include a 'smart bezel' which moves controls to the edge of the screen, meaning it's possible to use the phone without obscuring the display with your fingers, and an integral projector - a feature already making its way to rival devices.

I bait my traps…of which I have many - mice and rat traps. The problem is snail’s I suspect are eating all the bait - peanut butter. Actually caught a snail in the trap …lol. Q) Any suggestions or other people also having same problem?
HI Nate, Have the same problem but so have all of my stations on the ground and have wondered how to combat them. Can you place your stations up off the ground and thereby less available to snails? Slugs and cockroaches also like taking bait material so it can be a battle to maintain bait levels. Cheers Paul
Would laying SlugSlam in environs around trap help? I am having same problem.

Memphis is named after its Egyptian sister on the Nile. The Mississippi River Valley and its tributaries have made it a natural place for human habitation for thousands of years. It is the region of Tennessee that exudes typical Southern charm and hospitality. Memphis is the birthplace of blues music, rock 'n' roll, and significant advances in the civil rights movement.
Geography Of Memphis
Memphis is situated in the southwestern portion of the US State of Tennessee on the Mississippi River's eastern bank. It serves as a regional hub for the states of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The city has a total area of 839.2 sq. km, of which 816.0 sq. km is occupied by land, and 23.2 sq. km is covered by water. Memphis' central position has contributed to its status as one of the most important distribution centers in the United States. The city grew even quicker in the twentieth century, becoming one of the world's major cotton markets. Memphis is the world's largest spot cotton market, with approximately half of the US cotton harvest passing through.
Climate Of Memphis
Memphis experiences long, hot and wet summers and short, cold, and rainy winters. The temperature ranges typically between 1.11°C to 32.7°C throughout the year, with temperatures, seldom falling below -6.6°C or rising over 36.1°C. According to the tourism score, the most fantastic time of year to visit Memphis for warm-weather activities are late April to early June and late August to mid-October.
Population And Economy Of Memphis
Memphis has a population of 651,000 residents, 96.5 % of whom are citizens. In 2019, 6.2 % of Memphis inhabitants were born outside the United States. In Memphis, there were 2.42 times more Black or African American (Non-Hispanic) citizens than any other race or ethnicity in 2019. The second and third most prevalent ethnic groupings were 169,000 White (Non-Hispanic) and 29,000 White (Hispanic). Memphis is the country's poorest city, with a typical household income of $32,285, or $37,767 for a family. Seventeen percent of households and nearly 21 percent of the population are poor, with 30 percent of those under the age of 18 living in poverty.
Brief History Of Memphis
Memphis, Tennessee's most "Deep South" city, was built on a ridge overlooking the Mississippi River, just a few miles upstream from the Tennessee-Mississippi state boundary. It was established in 1819 near where the French had previously built Fort Prudhomme and incorporated it as a city in 1826. The city was in Confederate hands during the Civil War until the Union took it at the Battle of Memphis on June 6, 1862. Memphis saw a lengthy strike by its primarily Black sanitation employees during the Civil Rights Movement, who demanded and finally won better economic conditions. on April 4, 1968, the American activist Martin Luther King Jr. was killed in Memphis. The city is also noted for influencing American music. B.B. King, Aretha Franklin, and Johnny Cash have all contributed to the Memphis music industry, but Elvis Presley is by far the most well-known. Graceland, Elvis Presley's home, is now a tourist attraction that draws visitors worldwide.
Tourist Attractions In Memphis
Graceland: Home of Elvis Presley
Graceland is Elvis Presley's old residence and the ultimate destination for admirers of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. It is one of the most well-known structures in the United States, second only to the White House in terms of yearly visitation.
National Civil Rights Museum–Lorraine Motel
The Lorraine Motel, located just south of Beale Street, is where Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered in 1968. The building is currently home to the National Civil Rights Museum, which highlights the history of civil rights in the United States. Its focal point is the hotel room and balcony where King was assassinated, which is honored by a white wreath.
The Stax Museum Of American Soul Music
The Stax Museum of American Soul Music, one of only a few soul music museums globally, is an exact recreation of the original Stax Records studio. The museum has "everything soul," including thorough displays about the artists, music, and its history. There are 2,500 objects on display, including instruments and costumes.
Slave Haven Underground Railroad Museum
Jacob Burkle, a German immigrant, built the Burkle Estate along the Mississippi River in 1849. When Memphis was the state's major slave-trading metropolis, it was the home of the Memphis Stockyards. Burkle's neighbors, who held enslaved people, were unaware that he had built cellars and secret tunnels beneath his modest home. These locations were created to provide a safe refuge for fugitive slaves. Today, tourists may learn more about this history at the Burkle Estate's Slave Haven Underground Railroad Museum.
Crystal Shrine Grotto
The crystal shrine grotto is located across the stone bridges of this non-denominational cemetery, which goes back nearly a century. Dionicio Rodriguez, a Mexican artist, created the grotto, which was dug into a cave. Influenced by Biblical themes, this work includes quartz crystals buried in cement, Christian tableaus, and quotations with piped-in music to explain the artist's perspective.
The Memphis Pyramid
The Memphis Pyramid, which stands more than 300 feet tall, is one of Tennessee's most recognizable structures. During the day, its steel walls reflect sunlight from every angle; at night, it transforms into a rainbow of colorful LED lights visible for miles. The Memphis Pyramid was built as an entertainment arena for concerts and sporting events, but it has been transformed into a massive plaza for shopping, eating, and housing.
Children's Museum Of Memphis
Hands-on exhibits at the Children's Museum of Memphis keep children occupied. A playful metropolis featuring kid-sized businesses, such as an auto mechanic shop and a dentist's office, as well as an interactive recreation of Times Square and a massive Light-Bright wall, are among the highlights. Children may also ride a bicycle on Mars, explore the Mississippi River, climb through the arteries of a big heart, and sit in a flying simulator and a genuine airplane cockpit.
Memphis is a city that inspired the world. The city's narrative begins with the indigenous people who lived along the Mississippi and continues from there; from cotton tycoons to enslaved people, to artists who played the first notes of songs that are still heard across the world today, to civil rights heroes like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As a result, Memphis history is also American history.

Well, this is a definite surprise. A man named Rodrigo Ruiz is suing Jennifer Lopez for $10,000, claiming the “American Idol” judge demanded he send her naked photos.
As the story goes, Ruiz says he submitted a demo tape to someone he believes was connected to Lopez. In reply, “Lopez” asked for more demos and some naked pictures. Ruiz thought that meant he could have a future in the music industry and maybe even a relationship with Lopez. When neither of those things happened he got professional help.
Ruiz shared some of the letters he says Lopez sent him with TMZ. The first two are fairly tame, though they ask him to submit photos “with clothes and without clothes.” The third one he made public is a bit more profane, reading, “I have a new boyfriend which means your in for the long haul and you have to put up with the fact that I am f***ing him and sucking his d***.”
According to TMZ, the P.O. box Ruiz was writing to did not, in fact, belong to Lopez, which shouldn’t be even a little surprising. It’s owned by a 53-year-old Los Angeles woman. When contacted, she reportedly claimed to run a fan mail exchange program for the singer. Lopez’s rep says the suit is a “small claims matter” and that Lopez has never been in communication with Ruiz.
