There are many easier ways to make a living, and most pianists find one. But when last encountered, six years ago, Marc Ponthus, a brilliant French pianist, was performing all the solo piano works of Pierre Boulez.
Here he was again, on Tuesday evening at the Miller Theater at Columbia University, performing the biggest of those works, the imposing Second Sonata, alongside Beethoven's mighty ''Hammerklavier'' Sonata. ''The two 'Hammerklavier' Sonatas,'' the program called them, with some justice. By comparison, the rest of the program, consisting of the Serial works for piano by Anton Webern, seemed a walk in the park.
Mr. Ponthus has an uncanny knack for penetrating and conveying the rhetoric of seminal modernist creations, whether of the quirky Webernian sort or the eruptive Boulezian variety. And he seemed here to be trying to make a provocative point about the relationship of both idioms to that of late Beethoven.
But he may have gone a step too far -- or was it not far enough? -- in stacking the deck. For he began the Beethoven in a manner wholly different from his eminently clearheaded approach to the moderns.
After adding to his program notes with spoken remarks from the stage about brutality and derangement and war, he started the ''Hammer klavier'' faster than he could safely negotiate it -- faster, almost, than he could approximate it -- and made heavy use of the pedal, turning the first movement into a barely coherent heap of notes and gasps and gestures. His more measured treatment of the later movements did nothing to diminish the impression of the work's sheer vanquishing difficulty and inscrutability, and much to show its relationship to the cool if fragmented logic of the Boulez.
For that work, too, the politically engaged Mr. Ponthus offered preliminary remarks, this time dwelling not entirely helpfully on its ''immanent revolutionary process.'' In this repertory, in any case, he has few peers. Even more convincingly here than those few years ago, he made the leaps through keenly gauged disjunctures appear not only pleasing but inevitable.
The Webern works, too, were a model of clarity tinged with sensitivity. Mr. Ponthus offered a posthumous ''Klavierstuck'' and the ''Kinderstuck'' and two fragments as well as the canonic, sonatalike Opus 27 Variations, all with a sensibility as poetic as it was thoughtful.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Ponthus is a splendid performer, and certainly entitled to his agendas. He might make a better case for them, though, by simply letting his eloquent performances speak for themselves.Continue reading the main story

…West Asia Concerns
- Globe-trotting PM has not visited the region; no indication of any visit in 2015.
- Government’s openly pro-Israel policy has not gone down well. Why, Israel has become a partner state in Vibrant Gujarat.
- Lower oil prices mean migrants could lose jobs and be sent back to India
- Perception that no outreach to 7 million poor immigrants, who actually provide a large chunk of remittances, compared to the wooing of diaspora in US, Australia
It’s that time of the year when NRIs descend upon India in hordes. This time around, there’s plenty to celebrate as Narendra Modi has pulled out all stops to welcome an overseas Indian community that had (by and large) supported his successful campaign to become PM. However, even as the rich diaspora is feted at the two galas in Ahmedabad, there is a sense of disquiet that the BJP government has been careless about the welfare of the poorer migrants toiling in West Asia.
Though former diplomats and policy wonks cautiously say that it is still too early for foreign policy about West Asia to have congealed, there are many who feel that the welfare of the 70 lakh migrants in the Gulf countries, whose annual remittances is around $20 billion and constitute a bit under 30 per cent of such flows into India, should be a top priority if indeed “diaspora outreach is a key element in foreign policy initiative”. The poorer migrants from India in the Gulf have definitely not been ‘outreached’ enough.
Talmiz Ahmad, a former Indian diplomat with an interest in West Asia, disagrees cautiously. “We have had a brisk exchange of high-level official and ministerial visits,” he says, adding that “our ties with the Gulf have an enduring value that is not linked with the political orientation of the government in power in Delhi”. It goes without saying that the Gulf is India’s principal energy source, and also a major trade, investments and joint venture partner.
Besides the high remittances, the trade between India and the Arab nations stands at $200 billion—yet, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not found time to visit the Gulf countries (and there is little to indicate a visit is on his calendar in 2015 either). Though foreign minister Sushma Swaraj has visited uae and Bahrain, eyebrows are already sky high in diplomatic circles. An open engagement with Israel, combined with falling prices of oil and the volatile political situation in the region, may not augur well for India.
A foreign policy wonk with knowledge of the region doesn’t mince his words: “The BJP-led government is just not interested in the problems of the Gulf Arab states. That’s basically because from north India, only poor Muslims go to these countries. Unlike the feting of richer NRIs, the degree of interaction with the poor NRI community is zilch.”
It’s a different matter in the south, of course—in Kerala, the situation is being keenly watched because 22 lakh of the Indians in the Gulf are from the state. They play a crucial role in the state’s economy. Says K.C. Joseph, Kerala minister for rural development, culture, planning and NORKA (Non-Resident Kerala Affairs), “There should be honest efforts to build good relations with Gulf countries, taking into account our traditional relationship with them and the presence of a large number of Indians there.” The minister also says that the general perception was that there was a shift in foreign policy. “The PM has not paid a visit to any Gulf country in spite of his extraordinary foreign visits in such a brief time.”
But Syed Akbaruddin, spokesperson for the Union ministry of external affairs, points out that foreign policy is not about foreign visits. “Give some space for foreign policy to evolve. The government has maintained our strong relations with the Arab countries. It has reiterated in the past three-four months in different forums that the policy remains the same,” he stresses.There has been one evident change though—the BJP government’s open friendliness to Israel is being watched carefully. Modi’s relation with Israel began when he was chief minster of Gujarat. He visited Israel in 2006 and since then, Gujarat has had trade relations with the country. Modi met Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in September 2014 in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. The Times of Israel reports that Netanyahu said he was “delighted” to meet Modi and invited him to visit Israel, in what would be a first for an Indian prime minister. Reports indicate Sushma Swaraj is likely to visit Israel soon.
Will the pro-Israeli stance of the government be at the cost of our support for the Palestine cause? E. Ahamed, MP and former minister of state for external affairs, says, “We have a legacy that Gandhiji has taught us—about Palestine and their right to have a motherland. Since then, we have been following it. It is a very sensitive issue. I don’t think there is any change in our position.” But he does stress that “if there is any change in policy towards Palestine, there will be an adverse effect on our relationship with Arab countries in time to come.”
Akbaruddin is also quick to point out that this government has reiterated support for Palestine more than three times in the past few months to dispel any general misperceptions. “We did vote against Israel on the resolution against bombings in Gaza. Sushma Swaraj attended the nam meeting on Palestine and the prime minister sent a message on the Palestine day. The policy has not changed,” says he.
A key concern is falling oil prices. Unless India has good relations with them, as oil prices dip, some of the West Asian countries might send Indian workers back. Warns Arne Walther, former secretary general of the International Energy Forum, headquartered in Riyadh, “Sharp fluctuations in oil prices are disruptive and have not only adverse economic impact, but can also have adverse political, social and environmental effects as well.”
Even as analysts split hairs about what the government is doing right and wrong, the worrying fact is that there are very few people who understand the area well though there is geographical proximity. That’s unfortunate as India’s relations with the Arab countries also affect our immediate neighbours Pakistan and Afghanistan. The stakes are high. Says Talmiz Ahmad, “Given India’s high stakes in the security and stability of the Gulf, I strongly advocate that India should be more actively involved in promoting regional security.”
Meanwhile, consider the case of the 39 poor Punjabi labourers who have been kidnapped by the isis in Mosul, Iraq, nine months ago. The external affairs minister, even as she assured Parliament that she hoped they were alive and all was being done to bring them home, also added that there is “no solid proof of either they being alive or killed”. One doesn’t necessarily have to witness the hysteria around Modi’s speech at Madison Square Garden to know that, perhaps, some NRIs are more equal than others.

Full Panoramic Views
Regardless of whether you play Spartacus Call to Arms on mobile or computer, you’ll be able to take in the stunning visuals provided. Gamblers will immediately notice that there’s two additional reels, as well as the standard 5; these special reels bestow multipliers throughout the game. However, for now let’s stick to the aesthetic. What WMS has given us is an in-depth and overwhelming array of images, all of them perfectly in-line with the theme of the game. This is tangible experience for both play for free and play for real gamers alike, which is always a good quality for an online slot to possess. Due to this larger than life aesthetic, the screen is packed with lots of different elements, with the reels being centre stage to it all.
What a Picture
We’ll now return to the main game feature of the title, which is of course the extra columns. These unique additions mean that you get to experience the very best high-paying payouts possible. Excuse the alliteration, but we’re excited. You see, when two or more symbols match across these two reels, a multiplier for that symbol will be applied to the base game. Therefore, when that symbol appears on a winning line, the multiplier will come into effect. What is more enticing about this game feature is that during the free spins, the value of the multiplier increases, with the highest return coming in at x500 of the win! That’s a huge amount of cash for anyone, high roller or not. When online gambling is this good, why would we go anywhere else!
A Lion’s Roar
If you’re still interested in what else is on offer, you need to cast your eyes to the scatter symbol of the game, which happens to be the lion. When three or more of this icon appear, players will be taken to the free spins round. All punters will start off with an initial 10 games, a figure that can be built upon if you should find a further set of three or more scatters. Despite the lack of legroom, the number of spins seems more than fair for this size slot machine, especially when you take into account the other bonus.
To Victory! to the Heroes!
You didn’t think we’d just leave you with the Spartacus Call to Arms video slot did you? Oh no, we’re going to show you the wonders of NetEnt’s slot machine, called Victories, another play for real money activity. Despite its simplistic title, this online pokie has a lot of variance to offer you, some might say more than what WMS delivered. Despite the fact that diversity seems to be greatly improved, the imagery isn’t, with Victorious seriously lacking in interactive 3D graphics. What this means is that the gameplay feels more limited, even flat, which can put many potential gamblers off.
To Battle We Go
Spartacus Call to Arms is a fine slot machine of its time; as one of the newest releases, it plays fluidly and has a smoothness that classic slots don’t. However, while we can certainly appreciate what’s on offer, we feel that more features could have been added in to enhance the reels. Specifically, a mini game that allows more hands on gameplay. Nevertheless, while there’s room for improvement, we’d still say this is a top quality slot worthy of three and half stars.

Whether hitting the stage as front-man for Circa Survive or stripping things down for a solo-set, Anthony Green knows how to captivate a crowd.
Beautiful Things TourCity: Indianapolis, IN
Venue: The Emerson Theater
On June 25th, Circa Survive announced their plans to self-release their fourth full-length album Violent Waves on August 28th. After months of recording and producing the album, undertaking the responsibility of preparing for the promotion and release of the record, not to mention devoting time to his growing family, one might expect to find Circa front-man Anthony Green taking a much need rest before his band sets sail in support of Violent Waves later this summer. Instead, Green has been on the road playing a slew of solo shows supporting his latest album Beautiful Things which was released earlier this year. It is unknown whether Anthony Green actually sleeps.
Instead of resting backstage or finding ways to kill time before his set at the Emerson Theater in Indianapolis, Indiana, Green is watching intently as The Dear Hunter does much more than merely “open” for the night’s main event. The brainchild of Casey Crescenzo, The Dear Hunter is a prog-rock enthusiasts dream, boasting a plethora of sounds and tempos and melding a multitude of styles into their own unique sound. Last year’s massive project The Color Spectrum, featuring seven EPs, one for each color in the visible color spectrum, may have been the most criminally underrated release of 2011. Hearing the recorded songs as they capture the mood of each color is simply wonderful, but seeing them performed and expressed through sound, light, and the passion of Crescenzo’s vocals creates a completely new and enthralling experience. The performance not only keeps Green stage-side until the final note emits, but takes an audience, largely unacquainted with the band, by storm as they erupt with cheers by the time the set comes to an end.
Incredibly enough, after the stellar performance The Dear Hunter is not required to leave the stage, but instead takes on a new role as Green’s backing band. He wastes no time in bursting into opener “Baby Girl” as the packed crowd passionately sings along to every note. Much like The Dear Hunter, Green is impressive on tape but his live performance is so eccentric and unpredictable that it creates an entirely new experience. Green flails about the stage, jumping, writhing, and belting out the high notes as only he can do before stopping momentarily to talk about how good it feels to lose himself in the music. There’s nothing contrived here – just a natural born performer that pours every ounce of himself into each song as if it’s the last he’ll ever sing.
The set is full of older songs from Avalon such as “She Loves Me So” and “Drug Dealer” as well tracks from Beautiful Things like “When I’m on Pills” and “Get Yours While You Can”. The crowd gets a special treat mid-way through when Green plays “Only Love”, a b-side from his latest album. Instead of Nate Ruess of fun. providing the vocals during each verse, it’s Crescenzo, who masterfully adds his own flavor to the song. Near the end of his set, Green takes time to choreograph a wonderful version of “Devil’s Song (This Feels Like a Nightmare)”, leading each section of the audience like a choir as they contribute overlapping vocals to the performance. Green and friends take the stage once more after a short break to perform fan-favorite “Dear Child (I’ve Been Dying to Reach You)” before calling it a night.
From his early, erratic days as lead-man for Saosin, to his quirky and captivating contributions to Circa Survive, The Sound of Animals Fighting, and multiple other projects, Anthony Green has become a staple in the post-punk scene and performer that demands to be experienced in person. Perhaps the most impressive trait he possesses is his continual creativity and his drive to push himself as an artist with each and every project he undertakes. In “The Difference Between Medicine and Poison is in the Dose” from 2007’s On Letting Go, Green sings “My mind’s a well, it won’t run dry”. Assuming this is the case, one can only expect Violent Waves to once again raise the bar and surpass expectations.

An e-mail from Kean University's head basketball coach to the University's general counsel is protected by the attorney-client privilege, according to a decision issued today by the New Jersey Appellate Division.
The plaintiff in the litigation is the former athletic director, who was terminated "supposedly for failure to properly supervise subordinates in the athletic program, which led to the University being sanctioned" by the NCAA.
He sued for wrongful termination.
The e-mail had been in connection with a fundraising letter to defray costs of a team summer trip to Spain.
The court majority noted that the trial court found the e-mail to be privileged but found waiver. The court here agreed on privilege and reversed on the waiver issue.
The coach had provided the e-mail to the NCAA. The court concluded that the University, not the coach, had authority to waive the privilege.
A dissent concludes that the e-mail was not sent for the purpose of securing legal advice and thus was not privileged.
NJ.com reported on the NCAA actions. (Mike Frisch)

Kruger responds to public outcry following drought culling announcement
Cii Radio| Sabera Sheik Essop| 20 September 2016| 18 Zhul hijjah 1437
The Kruger National Park received a lot of flack from wildlife lovers over the past month, after announcing that a ‘harvesting’ programme has been put in place to “alleviate pressure on sensitive areas” within the Park.
Kruger lovers have slammed the park saying they are misusing their role as wildlife custodians, under the illusion of restoring balance within the park.
But now, SANParks has responded to the public outcry, saying the decision to cull some large herbivores was not a lightly considered one. “This is not a ‘sneaky reintroduction of culling by SANParks’ as put by some in their opinion,” Lesley Nyawo on behalf of the Kruger National Park, says.
“Kruger National Park is managed according to an approved management plan that makes provision for both biodiversity management and sustainable resource use.
“Part of the process of drafting this plan was an intensive public consultation process,” Nyawo says. “It is practically not possible to consult the public on each and every management action implemented.”
The accusation that SANParks was trying to cull animals in a cunning manner came after the Kruger released a statement saying the “drought is having an unprecedented impact on human well-being with an estimated 22 million persons in Southern Africa in need of some assistance”.
With the culling, then, Kruger officials are trying to swat a few proverbial flies in one go – restore the needed balance of the sensitive ecosystem in the park, but also help feed the communities in surrounding areas.
The culling of the hippo was also deemed necessary by the Kruger in a bid to save valuable and diminishing water resources, which they said were being polluted by the hippos’ poo.
Despite the park’s size, it is still an enclosed and protected area, and overcrowding without aggressive predators (humans) can be damaging to the Kruger on a broader scale.
“The purest way of allowing natural attrition to take its course is not always ecologically the best, especially if populations are unnaturally high due to man-made influences,” SANParks says.
Regardless of the rationale behind it, members of the public are outraged by the ‘harvesting’, which they say will have many negative long-term effects.
William Scrooby writes on the official SANParks – Kruger National Park Facebook page that the culling is a “slap in the faces of some of the best scientific minds in the world working in Kruger. It’s undoing 20 years of progress in one political sweep! Expect a mass exodus of these wonderful employees amongst all the other negative impact this “well thought through” decision will leave in its wake!”

Malacological surveys on the abundance of molluscan fauna were carried out in freshwater habitats at the 2 main rivers of southeastern Nigeria: River Niger and Cross River basins. A total of 19 species of gastropods were found, 13 of which are pulmonates and 6 prosobranchs. The distribution of the species varied between the habitats, with high densities recorded in patches within the habitats. Infected snails were collected mainly from portions of the habitats that are accessible. Trematode cercariae types and infection rates were recorded for each snail species. Seasonal patterns of both snail types and their trematode infection at various developmental stages are discussed.

It’s been nearly five years since my visit, yet I remember the day I spent in Vilnius as clearly as if it had been only five weeks ago. Though Vilnius was not originally on my Places to See in Europe list (mostly because I didn’t know about it), when I saw the price of the flights there from Trondheim (60 NOK!) and found out that Lithuanian is one of the oldest living languages, the linguist in me could not resist.
I passed by a playground on the way to my hostel. It was a bright sunny day and a horde of kids were happily running around. I suddenly realised how long it had been since I’d seen something like that – all the playgrounds in Singapore always seemed to be empty.
I continued on to my hostel, which turned out to be a cozy little place. The owner gave me a quick tour of my room and a colourful map of all the places of interest, and I was out in the streets, camera at the ready. The first leg of my Europe trip had begun!
It was only a few hours earlier that I’d woken up with a start, taken a panic-stricken look at my alarm clock, and hurriedly gotten into a cab to the airport. Thanks to oversleeping by three hours, I’d missed the train and had to pay ten times as much as the plane I was still hoping to catch. Damn the Norwegian summer with so much light that it’s impossible to keep track of time! Just kidding, I love the Norwegian summer. And the winter.
Vilnius, as it turned out, was a very walkable city. I went to the Vilnius Cathedral and square, up a hill to Gediminas Castle, and just happily strolled down streets lined with people singing, dancing, painting, and having a good time.
The evening found me at the Lithuanian Opera and Ballet Theatre. An hour before every show they sell tickets to students for seventy per cent off the usual price and I managed to get orchestra seats to Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. It was my first time watching a ballet and I was entranced – it remains one of my favourite performances (of anything) to date.
The next morning was spent exploring some more beautiful churches followed by a tour of the “Republic” of Užupis – the artist’s district of Vilnius. It’s a lovely area where a lot of local artists live, work and showcase their art. It’s modelled as its own “country” with a constitution displayed on the walls in about twenty different languages. There’s even a place where you can get your passport stamped with the kind of stamp you get at immigration!
All too soon though, it was time to move on. The trip fittingly ended much in the same way as it had begun – this time I almost missed the bus to Riga. I’d misread the map and ended up at the train station instead of the bus station (these were the good old days before I had a smartphone guiding me every step of the way). Thanks to a kind lady who walked me all the way to the bus station, I once again made it in the nick of time.

It was like being interrogated.
We were sitting in John’s conference room, waiting to make yet more decisions about the house, and we felt like suspects in an episode of “Law and Order: Criminal Intent.” I half expected Detective Robert Goren (played by the very hunky Vincent D’Onofrio) to walk through the door and pester us until we gave in to the pressure.
The house plans were scattered on the table. There were samples of wood flooring, siding shingles, shutters and other materials leaning against every wall. But it wasn’t the sensory overload that was so exhausting; it was our builder John’s seeming insistence on acting like Detective Goren. He was relentless with his badgering: “What about this? Let’s talk about that. We have to get through that other thing.”
Frankly I felt a little bruised.
After about 20 minutes, Paul and I were ready to crack.
But I have to say, it worked. Within that time, we had decided:
To make the ceilings on the main floor 10 feet high, and those on the floor above, with the bedrooms, eight feet high. Our architect, Greg Huddy, had indicated nine-foot-high ceilings on both floors, and we now agreed with John that it made more sense to have higher ceilings for the great room, kitchen and other common spaces.
To move the house forward on the lot six inches. Actually, this decision was made for us by John, who had already figured it had to happen because we were encroaching on setbacks (or something). He just needed our nod. Paul and I duly nodded.
To solve the front-door drainage problem. The issue was this: Because of that (accursed) roof deck, when it rained hard (which it does quite often in Anna Maria), water was going to come shooting down like a waterfall through the planks on the upper deck and land at the front door.
Obviously this was not going to work — we really didn’t want water in our foyer. John brought in some of his staff for an extended conversation during which Paul and I added absolutely no value. But John and his crew solved it: They would install fiberglass backing (used on boats) below the flooring planks on the upper deck, which would cause the water to run off onto the front yard. Again, Paul and I duly nodded our approval.
This was only the beginning. During the next three weeks, as the foundation is completed, Paul and I will share with you the decisions we’ve made — and ask for your help on the billions of decisions we still need to address.
In the meantime, got any aspirin? My head is pounding.

Mariah Carey, like millions of fans worldwide, is in mourning.
The R&B superstar took to Twitter Saturday immediately after news broke that her friend and peer Whitney Houston died at age 48.
"Heartbroken and in tears over the shocking death of my friend, the incomparable Ms. Whitney Houston," Carey wrote. Often framed as rival divas, Carey and Houston joined forces, belting it out together in the 1998 song "When You Believe."
"My heartfelt condolences to Whitney's family and to all her millions of fans throughout the world," Carey's tribute continued. "She will never be forgotten as one of the greatest voices to ever grace the earth."
The cause of Houston's death is not yet known. The Grammy-winning "I Will Always Love You" singer sold over 170 million albums worldwide, and is survived by daughter Bobbi Kristina, 18.

In recent years, outcome assessment following different therapeutic procedures has increasingly focused on the patient's perspective. While traditional measures of outcome, including physical examination and imaging diagnostics of the knee are complementary, patient-relevant questionnaires have become more and more important in determining the value of therapeutic procedures. Therefore, there is a clear need for clinicians in all fields, especially orthopedics, to be familiar with the available scoring systems and their relative strengths and weaknesses. Several questionnaires are now available for active patients with knee disorders, as well as for older patients with degenerative conditions. We thus present knee rating scales, patient-reevant questionnaires, and generic measurement tools available for the assessment of patients with osteoarthritis following knee injury. These tools are described in detail and their relative merits are discussed. Since the reliability, validity and responsiveness of the knee scales are crucial for their use as outcome measures, these parameters are also described precisely. Along with the growing number of international, multi-cultural, and multilingual research projects, there is a need to adjust measurement tools to different conditions and circumstances. There is general agreement that a questionnaire, when adapted for use in a new country, should not only be translated precisely, but also adjusted culturally to maintain the content validity of the original version. The process of cross-cultural and linguistic adaptation includes initial translation, translation synthesis, back translation, review by an expert committee, testing of the pre-final version and, finally, the validation study. This procedure is described in detail.

Washington is up in arms over the coming vote to increase the federal debt limit.
Republicans are insisting that any effort to increase the amount of money the federal government is allowed to borrow be accompanied by strict controls on the Obama administration’s ability to spend. Democrats are demanding a clean bill without any strings and are suggesting, darkly, that slowing the process in order to achieve spending reductions will throw the nation’s financial affairs into chaos.
These concerns are echoing across the country. Parts of the Tea Party movement are encouraging members of Congress to vote “No” on any bill to increase the debt limit as a matter of principle, regardless of the short-term consequences. President Obama’s allies, meanwhile, are repeating the charge that such ideas are reckless and that any real reforms in spending—as Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan outlines in his fiscal year 2012 budget document—will jeopardize the poor, the elderly, the indigent, and those at the bottom of society.
It’s a problem without a solution—or is it?
Writing in the April 20 edition of Investors Business Daily, economists James Carter and Pete Davis suggest that the current construction of the federal debt limit “has no basis in economic reality.”
“The current limit covers more than 99 percent of total federal debt, including publicly held debt and debt held by federal accounts (e.g., the Social Security Trust Funds). The latter is just the authority, but not the means, to pay promised future benefits to ourselves,” Carter and Davis write. “The fiscal burden of providing those benefits is not felt until the benefits are paid. So trust fund debt has no economic impact. It's just a distraction.” [Read the U.S. News Debate: Does the Constitution need a balanced budget amendment?]
If it’s just a distraction, it’s a pretty big one. But Carter and Davis point to a way out of the current crisis, one that allows everyone to come out a winner while keeping the financial markets stable.
“Why not,” they ask, “exclude debt held in federal accounts from the debt limit?”
It’s a good question. As far as the U.S. Constitution is concerned, the important part of the discussion is the “public debt”—meaning what the United States owes to outside entities like the purchasers of U.S. bonds and securities or, to put it another way, the money borrowed against “the full faith and credit” of the United States. It does not mean that which one part of the federal government owes to another. According to Carter and Davis, publicly held U.S. debt is just about $9.7 trillion at the moment, well below the existing ceiling, which is almost $14.3 trillion.
What Congress could choose to do is send legislation to the president that actually cuts—not increases, but cuts—the debt limit by several trillion dollars simply by making clear that the limit only applies to publicly held debt. [See editorial cartoons about the budget and deficit.]
The idea is catching on. There’s already at least one web site—LowertheDebtLimit.com—devoted to the idea, sponsored by Let Freedom Ring!, where I am a senior fellow, and where some members of Congress who are looking for a creative way to get around the anticipated roadblocks have expressed interest in the idea.
Cutting the debt limit is an idea that would appeal both to the Tea Party types and the independents that put the current Congress into office. With the right restrictions, like ways to define and deal with unfunded federal obligations and the strengthening of the rules governing existing federal trust funds, this is one idea that could fly.

French Early Victorian Brass Lacquered Telescope on Walnut Stand with Case "Cauchoix Quai Voltaire a Paris"
For sale, a large French early Victorian lacquered brass telescope on walnut tripod stand and pine case.
The telescope has an integral focusing mechanism and includes a lens with engraved makers mark stating “Cauchoix, Quai Voltaire a Paris”.
Robert Aglae Cauchoix (1776 – 1845) was a French optician of some merit and produced a number of inventions regarding telescope stands and was the first to use quartz glass in lenses. Cauchoix also produced a famed lens for the Greenwich Observatory.

How to Create a Warm and Relaxing Bonus Room

No headphones? It’s nearly completely wrapped in that recognizable waterproof cloth we have seen on other JBL speakers. Our larger volume for music cellphone utility will provide help to improve volume up in your bass booster speaker and in your mobile phone with just 1 touch. This thing gets really loud and the sound continues to be clear at high volumes. The Marshall Woburn sits in Marshall’s wheelhouse of loudest” Bluetooth speakers. You might have luck looking at Bluetooth job website audio system, that are additionally ruggedised and simple-carry although the constancy is probably not pretty much as good as house audio varieties. They’ve patented their own design tech they name Balanced Mode Radiator speaker drivers that move each vertically and horizontally to create a fuller, wider-reaching sound. This lets you create a much wider listening subject for louder sound efficiency. The drivers are named subwoofers (for very low frequencies); woofers (low frequencies); mid-range audio system (middle frequencies); tweeters (high frequencies); and generally supertweeters , optimized for the very best audible frequencies. These two options alone put the SOUNDBOKS 2 at the high of the checklist because the loudest Bluetooth speaker. There’s additionally a lot bass and quantity from this speaker and it’s also IPX5 waterproof rated for parties and poolside events. Rotate your Android gadget until you find the angle at which it sounds loudest, then lay your machine to rest in that position. We had been blown away by the incredible sound performance of the Aiwa Exos 9. This speaker has so much quantity that it is advisable to be careful earlier than turning the quantity as much as most. The speaker features 3.5mm and 6.3mm inputs in addition to headphone (three.5mm) output and RCA inputs. To be particular, each similar quality speaker you add doubles the sound depth. At one hundred sixty watts, the Bose S1 Professional is probably the most highly effective Bluetooth speaker in the Bose line of moveable speakers. The LG PK7 XBOOM features Meridian audio know-how and sign processing which expands the image peak and widens the sound area with clear vocals and bass response. Distance from a speaker reduces its loudness. It is not the smallest or most easily moveable, however the handle-design makes it less complicated to take out and about, and the larger measurement means that the battery could be bigger and extra highly effective. The PartyBox 300 is loud with glorious bass response. It does not have extremely high fidelity or stereo, however for a transportable Bluetooth design, it is arduous to argue with the standard on offer with the Boombox. In case you are looking for the loudest small Bluetooth speaker, go for the Bose SoundLink Mini II For a speaker of this compact size, we had been surprised at how loud it might go with good bass response and crisp volume. The Xtreme is definitely one of the loudest transportable Bluetooth audio system available on the market immediately. When sound comes from a single loudspeaker, we say it’s mono or monaural. The only downside is that the sound turns into distorted (because of an excessive amount of bass) at high volumes. It is an amazing portable Bluetooth speaker for around the home but positively would not have the same sturdy options you discover on the JBL Xtreme or AOMAIS GO. The Contact is slightly louder while the Anker Soundcore presents better sturdiness. Chassis are usually cast from components of a speaker aluminum alloy, in heavier magnet-structure speakers; or stamped from skinny sheet metal in lighter-structure drivers. For those who’re searching for a cheap Bluetooth speaker that still has a premium sound and finish, then the DOSS SoundBox Contact is one to think about. It comes with wi-fi Bluetooth pairing so that you can simply connect your smartphone gadgets, and permits for as much as 22 hours of playback with enhanced bass and LED beats lighting for a celebration effect. Sound reinforcement and public deal with loudspeakers have sensitivities of maybe ninety five to 102 dB for 1 W @ 1 m—an efficiency of four-10%. Exos-9 speaker is fairly massive for one thing that’s thought-about transportable – it’s 11.7 inches excessive, 19.4 broad, and 7.5 inches deep, and it weighs 13 pounds, so it is much bigger than some Bose or JBL portable audio system , but it could still be carried around, although you have to be a bit bit stronger.
Soundtouch 30 continues to be a lot better than most of the speakers on the market, and we do not assume that the sound is unhealthy, only that there’s some room for enchancment. The option to make use of loudspeaker phones imply you can also make great use of these advantages. There isn’t a level buying a speaker that makes a dreadful sound once you ramp up the amount. With a speaker, we’re talking about the acoustic output, or the quantity, ensuing from a given amount of energy. For me it is not solely the speakers it’s also an unbalanced headphone (tried totally different headphones) output. Generally turning an amp as much as eleven merely would not cut it. If you’re looking for one thing to level back at those cars that drive by your house with the bass cranked, this speaker (which is likely the loudest speaker on the planet) might simply do the trick for you. That is ultimate if you wish to have a number of speakers for a much louder sound effect. This speaker comes with a three.5mm audio jack for direct connection to non-wi-fi music sources. It helps wi-fi Bluetooth pairing and inputs for a microphone or musical instrument reminiscent of a keyboard or guitar. The louder the speaker, the extra energy it uses. As mentioned in the introduction, wattage itself won’t inform you how loud a speaker will be. Comparing only wattages of two speakers, won’t let you know which one is louder. The obvious change you may make to your speaker setup to attempt to improve your sound quality and perceived loudness is to tweak your speaker association. In 1930 Jensen launched the first industrial mounted-magnet loudspeaker; however, the large, heavy iron magnets of the day were impractical and area-coil audio system remained predominant until the widespread availability of light-weight alnico magnets after World Warfare II. The coil and the driver’s magnetic system work together, generating a mechanical force that causes the coil (and thus, the hooked up cone) to maneuver backwards and forwards, accelerating and reproducing sound underneath the management of the utilized electrical signal coming from the amplifier The next is an outline of the individual components of any such loudspeaker. MP3 Louder is a free web service that permits you to enhance the quantity stage of MP3 audio recordsdata on-line, tweak the amount stage to make the MP3 louder. It’s a solidly constructed piece with enough battery life (20+ hours) to final via probably the most serious all-day, all-night time seashore occasion. Depblue audio system also characteristic something called smart volume. By the best way, HTC One’s audio system are loud, however not extremely as thought. All-in-all, it is a great speaker for many who are searching for one thing small enough to hold around with them on a day-to-day foundation, but nonetheless need some energy and booming bass. You too can join a sub woofer to the speaker and see how drastically it is going to improve the quantity of your speakers and you can enjoy loud music. It’s also value noting that the BOSE Soundlink Revolve Plus is without doubt one of the few transportable Bluetooth speakers that gives voice controls. The primary SOUNDBOKS had the same Bluetooth version and we now have expected an improve. If you’re on the lookout for something just a little more compact, however nonetheless with the power to compete with the heavyweights, you would possibly want to take a look at the Turtlebox Portable Bluetooth Speaker. For those who intend to carry a small get together like we once did, you need your audio system on the wall for the results. This is the absolute beast of wireless home music programs with incredible sound and superior audio features. If the battery drains, the speaker might be powered via the battery adapter, and you may take heed to music while the battery is charging. To get your speaker louder, you need low impedance. So the sound comes barreling out at you in such dynamic fashion you may neglect you are listening to a Bluetooth speaker.
Older Bluetooth versions have larger energy consumption, so in case your Bluetooth speaker is battery-powered, the battery will last longer in case your speaker makes use of newer Bluetooth model. Other than wireless Bluetooth connectivity, the JBL Partybox a thousand supports DJ Launchpad which allows you to play drums, keyboard and piano on the fly. They do go loud, but the sound is muddy (and even the bass will not be very powerful), and no one with a musical ear will probably be impressed. The JBL Boombox is likely one of the loudest Bluetooth audio system with a tonne of bass output It could actually push out a most of 60 watts RMS or 40 watts (in battery mode) which is loud enough to power an entire occasion. For those who’re looking for the baddest and the loudest Bluetooth speaker available on the market, then look no additional than the Naim Mu-So. The Exos-9 contains a built-in battery providing up to 9 hours of continuous playing time. JBL Boombox is sort of bassy but it surely’s additionally quite boomy at excessive volumes (noticeable distortion at excessive volumes). Here is find out how to make your speakers louder in Home windows 10 or Windows 10 sound louder. If you are looking for the loudest occasion speaker, go for the Soundboks 2 speaker This Bluetooth speaker can pump out an unbelievable 122 dB of volume output – which is among the many loudest we have now ever heard. The Bose S1 Professional is without doubt one of the loudest Bluetooth audio system we’ve got ever examined with a most output of one hundred sixty watts. With the power to suppress the vocal frequencies of a music, some bookshelf stereo programs and LOUDR speakers make it straightforward to turn your favourite tunes into karaoke tracks. Vava shoulder checks the opposite Bluetooth speaker manufacturers with its sturdy sound. Any object radiating sound, including a loudspeaker system, may be considered being composed of combinations of such easy level sources. If speakers have the identical sensitivity, the speaker with the higher wattage will be louder. A few of you may want one thing simple (like the SOUNDBOKS 2 ), but if you need more options, you will have to take care of extra buttons. You’ll be able to control the quantity utilizing the connected machine or on the speakers themselves. The Aiwa Exos 9 is one of the loudest Bluetooth speakers around and has virtually virtually all the pieces you could possibly ask for. That stated, for many who do need to enterprise into the technology, it is good to have alternatives to the Amazon Alexa Echo , Google Dwelling , or the (apparently troubled) Apple HomePod To date, critics have taken a dim view of the sound high quality of these speakers. Piezoelectric speakers are often used as beepers in watches and other electronic units, and are sometimes used as tweeters in much less-costly speaker techniques, similar to pc audio system and portable radios. The UE MEGABOOM three is without doubt one of the firm’s finest promoting audio system because of its compact size and surprisingly big sound. The MAX98390, accessible in a 6.3mm2 package deal, unleashes a system’s full audio potential by safely driving higher energy ranges (up to 5.1W) into tiny audio system typically rated for a lot lower energy (as much as about 3W). The rest of the frequency spectrum is evident and dynamic (however not detailed enough) at average volumes nevertheless it will get fairly muffled and overpowered by the bass (particularly the low midrange). It is also doable to hearken to music from the iPhone’s iPod via a speaker, reasonably than via headphones. Similar to we defined all the important issues about loudness and speakers’ energy scores in the introduction, we at the moment are going explain some other things you must look for in a Bluetooth speaker relying on your needs. The Pyle Boombox Road Blaster is supplied with a 6.5” subwoofer and two 2.5” audio system for full-vary stereo sound reproduction – you get really balanced sound performance from this speaker. Position your audio system in an alcove or corner in order that any sound that goes sideways from your speaker will probably be redirected in the direction of the center of the room.
The Soundboks 2 speaker is Bluetooth prepared and you may pair it with wireless Bluetooth devices or auxiliary input (three.5mm). The loudest rock concerts on this planet can get to 130dB, which isalso the sound degree that airport employees would expertise standing beside a jet engine if they took off their hearing protectors. A very powerful thing it is best to know is that doubling the power will increase loudness by 3dBs. There’s not much element on how the speaker works, but LG says it’s based on a resonance chamber design” that permits the telephone to pump out larger sound than its small body would lead you to consider. Apple improves the speakers in iPhones, iPads and iPods with each launch — normally making them louder than the earlier generation. Volume is subjective, loud noise to 1 person may be quiet to another, so the decibel scale compares sounds relative to different sounds. That is one in every of only some Bluetooth speakers available on the market that has bass and treble controls – some audio system have bass knob, however treble knob is something that you will discover on Marshall’s and just a couple extra speakers. The loudness might be only doable to reach inside the speakers frequency limits. The improved bass function on this speaker works like a appeal and allows you to hear deeper bass beats and effects; this makes this speaker nice for EDM and rock music efficiency where you may actually recognize the deep bass response. That includes Final Ears distinctive audio processing, it produces clear and balanced audio faithful to the music you like, and at each volume level. It’s just the actual conversion consequence that occurs once you enhance the ability output by precisely 10, 100 or one thousand watts. The bass from these speakers punches deep and exhausting, and has a solid low end that makes it feel very satisfying to take heed to. The amount on the Sonos Move can go very loud – it comes with two Class D digital amplifiers which might be tuned to match the speaker drivers and acoustic structure of the speaker. A: If you want to know the exact value of the max sound strain stage (aka max loudness or max SPL), you’ll be able to both calculate the max SPL or measure the loudness with a sound degree meter (aka decibel meter). The Anker SoundCore Motion is hands down one of many loudest Bluetooth speakers we now have tested that delivers a full 30 watts of solid audio efficiency. Speaker has constructed-in lithium-steel battery which gives up to 10 hours of listening to music at reasonable volume stage. On this box, you will see Woburn speaker (it weighs 17.5 pounds, and it’s eleven.4 inches high, 15.75 inches extensive, and seven.eight inches deep), coiled audio wire with gold-plated three.5mm jacks on both sides, user handbook, and two power cables (one for European and one for US prospects). If your laptop computer’s sound is usually loud enough, and the only trouble you expertise is with some particular program or media content that is recorded at low volume, then you possibly can save the situation by utilizing Sound Booster. The sound quality from the DemerBox is exceptionally loud and powerful. Form of… and I do know this is going to sound goofy, however you may make a Do-It-Yourself set of iPhone speakers out of paper towel roll and plastic cups and even putting it right into a glass … every of those tricks will absolutely make the iPhone sound louder by directing the speaker output… kind of like shouting into a cave or through a tube yourself. The SOUNDBOKS 2 never distorts or breaks up which is precisely what we expect from a loud Bluetooth speaker. The Xtreme features 2 x 2 ½-inch full-vary drivers coupled to a bass radiator either end delivering up to 40W of sound. When it comes to general sound high quality, the Aiwa Exos-9 stands out from a few of the other loudest Bluetooth audio system. We really liked the power to pair up to eight UE Megablast speakers collectively for an immersive sound performance and a couple of audio system for stereo mode.
Hold the speaker end of your telephone pointing downwards in order that the sound waves bounce off the bottom and walls of the vessel and fill your room significantly better. 26 Because the intended range of frequencies is restricted, subwoofer system design is often easier in lots of respects than for standard loudspeakers, usually consisting of a single driver enclosed in an appropriate box or enclosure. The same factor holds true at increased wattages—a 100W amp isn’t going to sound twice as loud as a 50W amp; assuming similar speakers, it can only be three dB louder, which is noticeable, however undoubtedly not a doubling of perceived loudness. Small bookshelf loudspeakers typically pack a surprisingly highly effective punch because, although they’ve low power scores, they’ve excessive sensitivity. These speakers are very good however i purchased jbl go and instead of utilizing these speakers i exploit jbl go more frefuently as it’s simple to hold and it can be related by bluetooth. The Aiwa Exos 9 is likely one of the loudest Bluetooth speaker with an unimaginable 200 watts of power output. Ignoring the acoustic properties of the room where your audio system are positioned can pretty much ignore all the good (and expensive) features that made your audio system attraction to you once you first picked them out. The human ear is remarkably tolerant of poor sound quality, and the distortion inherent in limited-range drivers may improve their output at high frequencies, increasing readability when listening to spoken phrase material. Together with the speaker, you’re going to get one AUX cable with 3.5mm gold-plated jacks (jacks are straight on one aspect and L-shaped on the opposite), power cable with battery adapter, and 4 different international energy plugs. Each of these things will dampen sounds, meaning the sound out of your audio system will not bounce off of hard surfaces and conflict with the priority indicators enjoying out of your speakers. Furthermore, you possibly can simply pair two AOMAIS GO speakers together to create left and proper speaker channels with true wi-fi stereo pairing for a combined whole of 60 watts. Wi-fi audio system still need power, so require a nearby AC energy outlet, or presumably batteries. Probably the most spectacular options of the SOUNDBOKS 2 is the 40-hour battery life. Most loudspeakers are inefficient transducers; solely about 1% of the electrical vitality despatched by an amplifier to a typical house loudspeaker is converted to acoustic energy. If you’re still unable to increase the amount of your iPhone, then we advise that you connect it with a speaker. We liked that the Marshall Woburn II speaker is supplied with Bluetooth 5.0 and aptX know-how which gives lossless wi-fi sound at a variety of up to 30 feet while sustaining wi-fi Bluetooth connectivity. Because of 360 stereo-like sound and maximum loudness of 104dBs, this speaker is great alternative for picnics, smaller seashore and pool events, or outside events in your backyard. The speaker has a 7200mAh capacity cell which helps eight hours of playback at 60 percent quantity. So ultimately the essential reply to the question of what sensitivity you need for your speaker relies on how loud you need your system to play, how a lot power you’ve accessible, and the required distance. Speaker grilles cowl the front and back for the speaker drivers and passive bass radiators respectively. One interesting feature about this Bluetooth speaker is that it has a beast mode function which lets you get more bass out of this speaker, which is concept for parties and rock music live shows. In comparison with SOUNDBOKS, DiamondBoxx, ION AUDIO Street Warrior or Aiwa Exos 9, Turtlebox is just a tiny little speaker. The speaker has a constructed-in battery that delivers 30h of playtime per one cost (in all probability at 50% quantity). The XB72 comes with some onboard controls however you also have the choice to function the speaker utilizing the Music Middle app for audio and Fiestable app for lighting and party effects.

And guess what? Even the environment has a role to play. Everything from weather conditions, the plant's age, its origin, to its harvesting time can influence the pulegone content.
Apart from flavoring foods and drinks, pulegone has a knack for keeping insects at bay. Its aromatic properties are a natural deterrent, making it an effective ingredient in insect repellents.
Unveiling Pulegone's Potential
Diving deep into scientific literature unveils an array of intriguing findings about pulegone. It's been explored for its antioxidant properties, potential as a food preservative, and even its efficacy as a repellent for our feathery friends.

National Crime Victims’ Rights Week
April 24, 2013
National Crime Victims’ Week is a time to remember the countless lives that have been lost or forever altered by crime in this country.
In the nine days following the Boston Marathon bombing, it has been virtually impossible to open a newspaper or watch television and not see the very real impact this horrific crime had on its victims and their loved ones. Even as public attention turns from the vivid images of victims and crime scenes to the apprehension and impending prosecution of one of the perpetrators, thankfully the media continues to run stories about the victims.
Inevitably, this period of national mourning will end, and so too the accounts of the bombing and stories of the victims and survivors, and as time marches on, this human tragedy will slowly fade from the public consciousness. Yet those who are left behind carry with them the wounds and sense of loss that crime wreaks on the innocent. Like the countless crime victims that came before them, they will return to work and school and the routines of life forever changed, and many will struggle under the weight of this immense burden.

Another fast moving weather system will move through the region overnight tonight.
Light snow from this system will overspread the Finger Lakes, mostly after midnight, and should be pushing east by the time the sun begins to rise.
Like the system on Tuesday, most areas will see little more than a coating from this quick-hitting snow.
Some lake effect snow will likely develop behind the clipper, with some squalls working into the Finger Lakes from Lake Erie. This activity should be fairly short lived and will likely only accumulate an inch or two in most spots. Areas closer to the lakes south of Buffalo and Watertown will see more snow.
Winds will intensify behind this clipper system, with another blustery day on Friday. Some wind gusts over 40mph are possible. Thankfully, the windiest time will be in the afternoon, when temperatures rise into the low 20s, keeping wind chills mostly above 0.

A Polytechnic professor has received Purdue’s highest undergraduate teaching honor.
Esteban Garcia Bravo, associate professor of computer graphics technology (CGT), earned a 2021 Charles B. Murphy Award for Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching.
Providing outstanding instruction to students during the 2020-2021 academic year in a discipline that’s often reliant on in-person interaction and feedback was not an easy task, but Garcia knew that university professors and researchers must pivot, adapt and course-correct for the dynamics of CGT in an online-heavy environment.
“Teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic has been very challenging, since I am not able to spend as much time in the classroom to interact physically,” Garcia said. “But these last two semesters have shown me that physical presence is not necessary. What is necessary is that I am truly mentally present when I communicate with students.”
It wasn’t a first-time adaptation for Garcia, who has been offering online classes since 2014. When the pandemic first hit, he pursued other ways to connect with students, expanding use of digital apps such as Discord or Miro and going “wherever students live digitally.”
“One thing that helped me feel more connected with students is giving them more quality, individualized feedback and providing many ways of accessing me or the content synchronously and asynchronously,” said Garcia. “You have to be able to talk and collaborate with them in a new way.”
Garcia joins other Polytechnic professors as recent recipients of Purdue’s top teaching award. Dawn Laux, clinical associate professor of computer and information technology, and Mark French, professor of mechanical engineering technology, received the Murphy Award in 2019 and 2018, respectively.
