I was out and about in Madrid this week, between interview and private class, and it’s surprisingly difficult to find food on the go in this city. Unlike London, there is no lovely Boots meal deal with their delicious sarmies to save the day. So I ducked into a Día supermarket, usually my last option because of quality, grabbed a wholewheat french loaf and a jar of pickled pimientos. The job hunt hasn’t been quite so successful yet so trying to stretch each euro as far as it will go!
Now this isn’t easy especially as I’m really trying to minimise my intake of packaged food because of the utter rubbish that goes into it. But! Día’s pimientos contain no funny chemicals, with only water, salt and citric acid added. Hoorah Día! Since then I have added them to every dish, they are just too damn delicious… slightly sweet with a hint of spice, they pick up the wow factor of any ol’ dish like this standard green pasta. And it looks pretty 🙂
Prep and cooking time should be 20 minutes.
200g Wholewheat organic Farfalle
1 Tbsp pesto
1 (massive) clove of garlic
1 cup green peas
1/2 a green veg like zucchini or broccoli
Pickled red peppers, optional
Put some water to boil, then chop up the garlic, mushies and green veg. Pop these into a pan with some olive oil, on low heat. When the water boils add the pasta and turn down the heat. You’ll need to agitate every 3 mins or so, same with the veg.
After around 10 mins add the peas to the veg. If you’re using frozen peas allow to cook slowly for another 5 minutes, stirring them up occasionally. Once they’re heated through turn off the heat and add a generous dollop of pesto to the veg and stir through. Serve with a good ratio of half veg and half pasta, so the pasta gets coated nicely. Break in a handful of pimientos if you fancy the sweetness gives a nice finish to the pasta.

Pumps up Santa Monica Commuter Bikes
Biking on Venice Ocean Front Walk in Los Angeles
The Santa Monica Bike Center's offer of a free, well-equipped bike for two weeks was simply too good to pass up
That's the idea behind the Santa Monica Bike Center's bike-commuter program. With the nation's largest bike-parking facility in one of the country's most traffic-clogged areas, Santa Monica officials hope that five loaner bicycles bought for just $3,500 can accelerate a national trend.
Biking in the Los Angeles area has been gaining momentum as evidenced by the estimated 100,000 participants in CicLAvia two weeks ago. Bike-share service provider Bike Nation also plans to launch a $16-million program in Los Angeles during the first quarter of 2013. The firm's goal is to add up to 400 bike stations and 4,000 bicycles around the city for members to rent and return at any station, a company spokesman said.

After this past Thanksgiving Weekend trip to Long Lake, I knew I needed to spend more time along its shores outside of the busy boating season. I somewhat expected snowmobiles to be riding the lake this weekend. Perhaps they usually do, but the recent warm temps might have made over-ice travel inadvisable. Other locales had experienced thin ice accidents recently. So I headed out to Hidden Cove Lean-to about 2 miles down the NPT.
There was little snow on the trail but I carried snowshoes anyways, just in case. The trail was icy with a light layer of fluffy snow. I had left my crampons in the car, so I donned the snowshoes for the traction they provided.. I made it to Catlin Bay quite quickly. I carefully crossed the inlet stream on the ice bridges. I was very tentative due to the recent warm weather. I stopped at Catlin Bay Lean-to #1 just to take a break and read the shelter log. I made my entry and noted a few others from the NPT Chapter and was on my way.
While the tread was obvious along the trail, it was also obvious no one had been here for a while. Boot marks had filled in with snow and the only tracks visible were mine and the animals.
At the lean-to I flipped through the log book and began my entry. It was early afternoon and I had the rest of the day and night all to myself. If the snow machines were going to be out on the lake, I surely would have seen or heard them by now. Instead it was just me and the solitude of the lake. I unpacked a few items and went to gathering wood. It didn't take long to get a small pile for the next morning squared away. I set it aside and prepped the rest. I took breaks here and there since I was enjoying the calm day. Now and again snow would begin to fall. The real light fluffy kind that barely covers anything but looks pretty. I checked out the lake ot see if it would be easy to get water. It seemed quite thick. There was a crack near shore which showed at least a foot of ice. The light fluffy snow on top was easily brushed aside to reveal hard clear ice. Would be great for skating. As is my rule when I am solo, I do not venture on the ice ever.
I found some decent sized downed beech and maple so I brought hose back to camp. Between them and what I had previously gathered, I would have enough wood to get by. It turns out I had more than enough and left a good supply for the next people. I had a late lunch of hambuger potato soup and some cocoa. I wasn't very hungry but I knew I should eat something. I never did eat my dinner though. There were some word search books on the shelf, so I wasted a few minutes doing a page. I read “The Call of the Wild” out loud. Service's poetry was meant to be read aloud.
I went to bed just as it was starting to get dark. One of my favorite things about winter solo camping is the shear quantity of sleep I get. I tossed a bunch of the bigger logs onto the fire and climbed into my hammock. I could see the fire from my hammock if I turned just the right way. I was soon asleep. I awoke once during the night and tossed a few more branches on the fire. I was awake before the sun. I restarted the fire and melted some snow. Having coffee as the night becomes day is such an amazing experience especially when in a place like this. I thought about those longer distance trips I do in the summer when I do the same thin; have coffee and watch the sun come up. On those trips, I have already hiked a few miles. A couple of mergansers flew by, some making their grunt sounds. I thought they only did this for alarming of predators. Perhaps the coyotes were still around.
The hike out was uneventful. Mostly uphill, but only two miles. My snowshoes were loud on the ice and snow. I stopped quite often just to listen. I thought I heard voices at one point, but this was not likely unless it was carrying from across the lake. There were fresh footprints though. The trail register recorded a group 5 day hiking yesterday. They had signed in to go to Catlin Bay, but appeared to have gone almost to my campsite. I wonder if they missed my tracks when I turned off the trail. The car thermometer read 27 degrees. A nice quiet 24 hour trip into the woods.

Professor Stuart Hall Building LG02
The power relations and consequent patterns of domination and subordination within and between cultures are internalised as individual and social unconscious dynamics and enacted in subtle ways. Cultural positions provide specific but necessarily limited views of reality and of the ‘other’, so that ‘diversity’ can only be appreciated through a dialogue that reveals our own ‘otherness’ to others and to ourselves.

It is widely acknowledged that today’s news media are changing radically. New forms of what is coming to be known as ‘networked journalism’ are increasingly visible. These new forms of journalism raise many ethical issues not the least because, as we argue in this paper, they encourage new forms of boundary crossing on a scale not possible until recently. We suggest that these developments contain the seeds for the possibility to better understand differences and distinctions among people, but that they also heighten the possibilities for misunderstanding. Networked journalism does not yet provide a fully open space for dialogue. However, as journalists take on new roles and more voices are heard, there is a growing need to understand the implications of the new forms of boundary crossing that are being encouraged by this new form of journalism. Emerging forms of journalism may provide a foundation for public dialogue that enables stories about distant others to be told and better understood. The consequence may be that there will be new opportunities for enhanced sharing of viewpoints. Although convergent media platforms create opportunities for new exchanges, there are reasons to question whether the potential will be met

Setting up a rehearsal room from scratch can be a daunting project, even more so if you’re expecting musicians to come in a number of formations or styles! 😬 But don’t worry, we got you! Here is a step by step guide on how to setup a rehearsal room and turn it into the best rehearsal space possible!
From the room itself to the gear you need, essential or optional, as well as some pro-tips and handy accessories to keep around; you’ll be sure to have everything you need to start rehearsing, hosting, jamming, and everything in between! 😎👇
Rehearsal Room Setup – Get the room ready!
The first and most essential step for your rehearsal room setup is going to revolve around the room itself. Making sure that the space is ready to welcome musicians, gear and consequently… many decibels 🎶 will be your first mission.
The main objective is to treat the space you’ll use for music creation. This treatment has to achieve two goals: to dampen the room in order to avoid being too loud to neighbouring spaces, as well as to treat natural reflections in the room and get the best possible sound inside.
It sounds scary and professional, but it’s actually super simple! A few bass traps in the corners to avoid low end rumble, a few absorbers on the walls and carpets on the floor dampen the room and keep your mix clean, and finally some diffusers to avoid unwanted reverbs and ping-pong delay effects!
Find all our acoustic treatment solutions 👉 right here 👈 and find what fits YOUR space best!
Rehearsal Room Setup – Essential Gear and Backline
You might be preparing the room for your band or to invite friends and other guest musicians for epic jams! Regardless, having a basic selection of mics and backline gear will come in really handy for people who have a tendency of showing up to the jam session empty handed 😅
Having a couple of mics laying around the room.. wait sorry, I meant: cleanly organised in their respective boxes in the room, will come in very handy for several reasons!
Singers and last minute backup singers will obviously be happy to find said microphones, but it will also be incredibly useful if you have to have to amplify another instrument that wouldn’t be loud enough for say… your drummer!
For that reason, most rehearsal rooms will tend to prefer “multi-purpose” microphones. Mics capable of taking both vocal levels but also louder instrument levels are usually going to be dynamic, such as the legendary, and indestructible, Shure SM58.
If you’re looking for a set that will spare you the trouble of selecting various mics and to make sure you have enough for everyone, something like this the t.bone MB 60 Set will be absolutely perfect! Just make sure you also get enough mic stands and XLR cables for them!
If you don’t mind spending a little more to get more specific mics for instruments and amps, check out our large selection of all rounder dynamic mics, amplifier mics and clip-on acoustic instruments microphones, and find dedicated microphones such as the brass/strings standard that is the Audio-Technica ATM350U! 🎷
Backline, if you’re not familiar with the term, means a small selection of basic tools that you’ll find in most rehearsal and concert venues. It usually comprises of a bass amp or preamp that can go to the mixer (we’ll get there soon don’t panic), one or two guitar amps, as well as a basic drum kit.
Of course, we’re not saying that you have to buy gear for your entire band, and in that case, everyone brings their own piece to the puzzle! But if your intention is to have the occasional jam night, you can consider getting a small solid state / modelling combo that would make any guitar or bass player happy, such as the Boss Katana 50 or the HB80 from Harley Benton!
As far as drum kits go, most places will be BYOC policy (Bring Your Own Cymbals!). It goes without saying that if your rehearsal space is for your band, your drummer will probably leave his kit there between sessions. But if not, or if you want to be able to invite other drummers, having a basic drum kit such as this lovely DrumCraft Series 3 Standard Set in the room will be a game changer!
In (optional) addition, a drum stool and a basic cymbal set could be the perfect additions to your space to be able to play at any time and in any company! Check these out 👇
Rehearsal Room setup –
Keep your audio routing clean
What we mean by that is twofold: keep your XLR and jack cables coiled and/or managed when in use, but also know where each of those cables is going. Your jack cables will typically go from the instruments directly to the amps, but your mic cables have to go somewhere as well! And that’s where the mixer comes into play 🎛
The mixer is going to be the audio brains of the operation! Label your microphone cables and plug them into the (also labeled) mixer channel inputs. The mixer should allow you to control levels, basic EQ, compression and effects on each input to make sure that your various mics sit correctly in a band mix. We recommend something with at least 6 channels, and offering a few effects and settings, so that you won’t be limited down the line if you want to take that same mixer to a concert, for example! Something like the t.mix xmix 1202 FX USB, the Behringer Xenyx X2222USB or the Presonus StudioLive AR16c will be perfect for the job!
In addition, those mixers will allow you to connect to your computer to record the jam sessions / rehearsals! Keep in mind that the more affordable ones will only be able to send the stereo master tracks to your DAW, while the higher end ones will allow for multi-track recording, which offers a lot more flexibility if you want to mix those sessions afterwards!
Rehearsal Room Setup – Amplify and level everyone
Every mic and instrument is there and has been plugged in, now is time to make sure that everyone can be heard! Audio engineers spend years to hone their skills and master the craft of mixing artists and bands, both live and in the studio, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take a crack at it 😉
First off, establish basic levels for all instruments that are not going into the mixer, starting with the ones that don’t need any amplification: that’s usually the drums! Once your drummer is going, you can get the amplified instruments to start playing in order to level their amps to the drummer’s level. Once everyone outside the mixer is happy, time to amplify microphones and instruments going directly into the mixer.
In order to do that, you’ll need to get familiar with your mixer and manipulate the levels and settings there, but you’ll also need to connect it to an amplification system, commonly known as PA system. Those come in two flavours: we have the all-in-one, or Active systems, which are both amp and speaker in a single enclosure, and the Passive systems, which are (you guessed it) passive speakers powered by a separate amplifier!
Both solutions have their pros and cons in terms of reliability, reparability, convenience, power and so on, but the new golden standard for rehearsal spaces tends to gravitate towards the compact and powerful active systems! Here are a few recommendations in different price brackets:
Thomann Practice Room Bundle 2 is an excellent option that will also allow you to skip some previous steps in the selection of a mixer and microphones. This affordable bundle will provide with enough power to sing alongside your drummer!
the box pro Achat 112 Sub A & DSP108 Set will be the ideal addition to your mixer and mics of choice! With its two subs and satellite speakers, it will be plenty loud for any rehearsal room and will follow you into most small to mid-size venues when time comes to start gigging!
EV ELX/ZLX Band Bundle is an investment to say the least, but one that will both fill any room or venue with enough decibels to get you kicked out! Reliable, solid, and allowing for further expansion, this system will pair nicely with high end mixers and deliver on sound quality.
Rehearsal Room Setup – And make sure you can hear yourself!
Everything is now set to play, play loud, and most importantly hear all the musicians in the room 😇 There is one thing left to do in order to complete the perfect rehearsal/jamming space, and that’s to make sure that the musicians can hear themselves!
In Ear Systems / PA Monitors
Now, this phase is almost optional in the sense that if you have oriented all the amps and PA in a semi-circle shape pointed at the drummer (who is usually the one that will struggle most to hear the other musicians), and that the amps have been slightly raised or tilted to project at ear level, everyone should hear themselves nicely!
But that’s a complicated balance and it’s not very practical in every room, and absolutely unrealistic in any concert situation! So the easiest solution is to use the auxiliary outputs on your mixer to connect PA Monitors, also known as Wedges. These placed at the feet of the standing musicians and on the drummer’s side, will project the general mix back to them so that they’re able to hear the full band clearly 🙂
Another option is to use in-ear systems so that each musician has their own set of in-ear monitors, either wired or wireless, in order to hear the others. Keep in mind that this setup is much pricier and more complicated to put in place as you will need a number of senders and receivers working together on several bandwidths (if you go for wireless). But if you’re going all in, here are some ideas 👇
Rehearsal Room Setup – Accessories are good to have around!
Finally here’s a non-exhaustive list of little accessories that are always good to have around a rehearsal room:
That’s it, you’re basically done! 👏 Congratulations on your absolutely epic rehearsal space! Don’t forget to bring a couple drinks and snacks along, and have fun!

Declare the GOP to live in a media cocoon based on the statements mostly by three people (writers Ross Douthat of The NY Times and Ben Domenech, and a failed GOP candidate who lost the Senate race to Rand Paul) — hence, this is a “news” story — without considering the reality that almost the entire media is a liberal cocoon to which conservative outlets are a breath of fresh air. The few dissenting voices are buried deep in the article — so Politico is fair!
We are bombarded with liberal media all day long — yet to seek out alternatives means we are in a cocoon?
We read NY Times stories every day, except we often don’t realize it because they are reprints in local newspapers. We read Politico all day long, except we don’t realize it because it appears under a Yahoo or other news banner. We have no choice but to listen to CBS and other mainstream media, because our local news stations use their news feeds. We live in a world of a social agenda entertainment industry.
And yes, we watch MSNBC, just look at the Twitter feeds of conservatives and you will understand that we hang on almost every Chris Matthews rant.
The notion of a cocoon unique to conservatives is nonsense, and without any evidence.
He goes on.
I’ve thought sometimes that it would be really nice to try out a media cocoon sometime… actually have a whole day where nothing was personally offensive. No, go further– where nothing wasn’t in line with my world view!
What? It would be fun, for just one day….

The steady procession of rainfall that began with an early-morning thunderstorm late last week dropped several inches of much-needed precipitation countywide. The rain gauge at San Marcos Pass registered over 10 inches in six days; downtown received about six inches during the same period. While the greater Santa Barbara County region officially remains in the throes of historic drought — now in its seventh straight year — the water level at Lake Cachuma is on the rise, and wildfire-ravaged mountains and backcountry are regrowing more green by the day. After the last storm cell blew through Monday night, dropping bursts of hail on some areas, Cachuma was approaching 47 percent capacity while countywide rain totals reached 81 percent of a normal year.
Late last week, the ominous forecast prompted county officials to call evacuation orders for creekside and lowland neighborhoods near burn scars left by the Sherpa, Whittier, and Thomas fires. The Sheriff’s Office reported that evacuation compliance in Montecito “red zone” flood-risk areas was 83 percent. The hardest rains arrived Saturday at approximately 8:30 a.m. and quickly flooded problem intersections downtown and filled creeks to capacity. In Montecito, overflow from Oak and Romero creeks spilled onto Highway 101, forcing officials to shut down both directions for several hours.
As evacuees returned home on Sunday, the National Weather Service issued a tornado watch near Refugio State Beach, and crews with Santa Barbara County Flood Control remained busy clearing boulders from Montecito debris basins. “This debris basin [in Romero Canyon] worked perfect,” said Rick Tomasini, a maintenance superintendent with County Flood Control, who had been standing on a bank of the basin just after 9 a.m. Saturday when a massive surge of floodwaters drained from Romero Canyon, carrying trees and rock. “There was nothing in here [on Friday],” he added, pointing to a large field of boulders, approximately 20 to 30 feet deep, that had collected in the catchment. “It worked like it was supposed to.”
Assistant Fire Marshal Alex Broumand with Montecito Fire said, “The calls we were getting were service calls,” such as downed trees and minor residential flooding. “But no medical calls, no rescues.”
That same downpour early Saturday triggered a debris flow from the Whittier Fire burn scar in DeVaul Canyon, near Lake Cachuma, which clogged a culvert deep beneath Highway 154. The diverted runoff and debris forced officials to close the flooded thoroughfare in both directions; as of print deadline Wednesday morning, it remained closed. On the Riviera, Alameda Padre Serra is closed at Arguello Road, after heavy rains opened a sinkhole in the roadway. The city estimates that the reopening of APS will take two weeks; motorists are encouraged to avoid the area.

Second Senior Officials' Meeting (SOM2), Food Security Ministerial Meeting and Meeting of Ministers Responsible for Trade were scheduled for May 20 through June 5, 2012 within the framework of the Russia's APEC chairmanship.
Work continued on all the key agenda items within the framework of priorities declared by Russia that is trade and investment liberalization, regional economic integration; strengthening food security; establishing reliable supply chains; intensive cooperation to foster innovative growth.
Kazan Ministerial Declaration on Food Security and a Trade Ministers' Declaration were approved following the SOM2 and the ministerial meetings. These documents would outline the main points of the APEC Leaders' pending declaration.
«Proxy Centre» specialists (host economy liaison officers) arrived in Kazan to provide close support for senior participants of the APEC ministerial meetings. Due to the large number of senior participants, an additional team of liaison officers was formed. «Proxy Centre» specialists organized specific professional trainings for the new team members.
The «Proxy Centre» transport service created a unique logistics system for the city of Kazan: a car fleet located at «Ak Bars» Palace of Martial Arts; a shuttle bus service departing from 12 designated hotels (Korston, Mirage, Riviera, Park Inn, Shalyapin Palace, Suleiman Palace, Art, Giuseppe, IT Park, Hayall, Marriott) which ran between the hotels, Kazan International Airport and the Tennis Academy.

A car fleet of 200 vehicles, including 116 Mercedes Benz cars has been delivered from Moscow.


Something pretty amazing has been happening on Irish roads for the past several years - a marked decrease in the number of road fatalities. Ireland has made the most progress of all European Union countries in the effort to reach zero road fatalities by 2050. Since 2010, Ireland has seen a decrease of 31%, cutting road fatalities by almost a third.
Elsewhere in the EU, many countries have been struggling to reduce fatalities, with some countries seeing the number stagnate. In discussing Ireland's progress, an article in Forbes points out that the decrease is especially impressive when you consider that road fatalities have gone down at the same time as the population of Ireland has continued to increase. With such a large decrease in fatalities, it's clear that Ireland is doing something right. Taking a closer look at how they've enacted this change can provide valuable insight into how to bring about change.
"The country lowered the threshold for illegal drunk driving in 2017 and introduced preliminary roadside testing. They also rolled out advertising campaigns specifically targeting vulnerable road users. Most controversially, they introduced "morning-after" roadside tests to find levels of intoxication unsafe to drive even after a person has tried to sleep it off."
That a central focus of Ireland's new approach to reducing road fatalities concerned driving while intoxicated is important. It provides a good demonstration of how dangerous driving under the influence can be, even when occurring hours after an initial bout of drinking. While popular representations of Ireland suggest a country where intoxication is more prevalent, the statistics on drunk driving worldwide suggest that driving is a problem for almost every country, full stop. The progress that Ireland has made in decreasing road fatalities is not only wonderful, it's also instructive. A focus on curbing drunk driving can pay off big time.
For more on Ireland's progress and how they brought it out, check out the article in Forbes.

- 15 What instrument has the highest range?
How many sections do orchestras usually have?
Orchestras are made up of four main sections: strings, woodwind, brass and percussion. Of these four, the string family is typically the largest section, often comprising half the orchestra performers. The string section itself is divided further into four – or five – sections, depending on how you break it down.
What are the 5 sections of an orchestra?
The traditional orchestra has five sections of instruments: the woodwinds, brass, percussion, strings, and keyboards.
What does a full orchestra consist of?
An orchestra is a large instrumental ensemble that contains sections of string (violin, viola, cello, and double bass), brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments.
What are the 4 sections or families of the modern orchestra?
Orchestra Instrument Families: Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, Percussion | Oregon Symphony.
What are the 4 parts of the orchestra?
The Sections of the Orchestra. The typical orchestra is divided into four groups of instruments: strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.
Why is there no piano in an orchestra?
The truth is that the piano, in its role of a domestic instrument so enticingly capable of chordal and contrapuntal and melodic effects, is not a suitable companion for the orchestra at all.
What is the biggest section in the orchestra?
The string section is the largest in the orchestra. It is comprised of instruments that derive their musical sound from the vibration of tuned strings. The orchestra contains two large groups of violins, plus groups of the violin’s larger, lower-pitched relatives: the viola, the cello, and the double bass.
What is the average players in an orchestra?
A full-scale orchestra playing a symphony includes at least 90 musicians, while a smaller orchestra playing a chamber piece ranges from 15 to 45. Sections of the orchestra can perform separately? a string orchestra, for example, includes about 60 musicians.
What is the most important section of the orchestra?
Sections of an Orchestra The string section is the most important part of a symphony orchestra. It has more than half of the musicians and consists of violins, violas, cellos and string basses.
What makes a good orchestra?
“It’s vital for orchestras to have their own home. They must have an acoustic space that challenges them to make better sound,” said Chen. “The orchestra has a strong identity of its own. It has a great work ethic and the players are passionate about what they do,” said Chen.
What are the three types of orchestras?
The membership of the three different kinds of orchestras are the same: strings, winds, percussion. On any given night, however, depending on the demands of the music, even a symphony orchestra might appear in a smaller form.
How is an orchestra laid out?
When we think of the ‘traditional’ layout of an orchestra, we think of the violins directly to the left of the conductor and the violas in the centre, with the woodwind and then the percussion behind them. In fact, the second violins used to be seated opposite the first violins, where the cellos normally are.
Where do the loudest instruments sit in the orchestra?
Woodwinds: flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons and related instruments. These players sit a few rows back from the conductor, in the center of the orchestra. Brass: trumpets, horns, trombones, tubas and similar instruments. These instruments are the loudest, so you’ll see them at the back of the orchestra.
What instrument is the biggest and has the lowest pitch in the string family?
The double bass is the biggest and lowest pitched instrument in the string family. The deep, very low sounds of the double bass are often used to help hold together the harmonies and to help carry the rhythm.
What instrument has the highest range?
The Piccolo It is famous for being the highest and most piercing instrument in the orchestra. It has a range of slightly less than 3 octaves, as we can see in the range diagram below.

Delivering a 540-megawatt combined-cycle power plant in New Jersey
North Bergen Liberty Generating Station
The North Bergen Liberty Generating project proposed for a 15-acre site in North Bergen, New Jersey, will design and construct a 1,200-megawatt natural gas-fired power plant in close proximity to existing energy and utility infrastructure. The plant is expected to be 34% more efficient than the average plant serving the New York City area today. AKRF is providing multimedia environmental permitting for the proposed project, including the analysis of air quality, noise, natural resources, and other potential impacts. We are also supporting the installation of a natural gas lateral connecting to Con Edison’s nearby gas transmission system and a new force main from the Bergen County Utilities Authority’s Little Ferry Water Pollution Control Facility to provide reclaimed water to the site for use as process water make-up.

At the Farnborough International Air Show, Space technology was in evidence – most noticeably the special Space Zone in Exhibition Hall 3 where UK and other countries had their space wares on display. There were also some big announcements. The UK Government along with the UK Space Agency announced that eight locations had been selected as finalists as the location for Britain’s first “spaceport”.
Standing in for the departed Minister for Universities and Science, David Willetts, was Robert Goodwill MP, Under Secretary of State for Transport, who noted that it had been decided early on in the process an existing aerodrome with a runway at least 3000m long should be chosen instead of building on a “greenfield site”. The spaceport should be well connected by transport links but be away from air traffic hotspots. It should also be ideally near the sea and away from populous areas, while also having a low noise and environmental impact. In addition, good weather with low cross winds would be an advantage.
The finalists that made “the cut” included: Stornoway Airport (Isle of Stornoway, Scotland), RAF Lossiemouth (Scotland), Kinloss Barracks (Scotland), RAF Leuchars (Scotland), Cambeltown Airport (Scotland) Prestwick Airport (Scotland), Llandedr Airport (Wales) and Newquay Airport, (Cornwall, England). It was suggested in jest that given most of the planned locations were in Scotland it might be a way of encouraging Scotland to vote to stay in the UK in September’s referendum. Once the final selection has been made it is envisaged that the spaceport will be built by 2018.
While some uninformed media reports suggest that the candidate sites might one day be used for orbital space planes, this is only partially correct. While most of the candidate UK spaceport sites would be suitable for launches to high inclination polar and sun-synchronous orbits – a popular orbit type used by Earth observation spacecraft and some communication satellite constellations, none of the finalist spaceport sites is ideal for lower inclination orbit spaceflight used for flights to the International Space Station and flight to Geostationary Earth Orbit, both of which would normally require an Eastward passage. This is because dropping rocket stages on populous areas of Europe is officially frowned upon – not least because under international law on space liability, the UK would be the “launching state” and would thus be liable for any injuries or damage caused by falling rocket stages.
In fact, the UK mid-Atlantic territory of Ascension Island would have been a better choice in this respect allowing both Eastward and Polar launches without hindrance. However, the aptly named Ascension Island fell out of the running at an early stage, presumably due to its remoteness and lack of transport links. Given that the early users of the spaceport would be mainly suborbital launch operators, and perhaps their air-launched orbital cousins, the thinking of the Civil Aviation Authority is that a UK-based airstrip site would be best. Should it ever be needed, a second launch site could be set up, possibly concentrating on vertically-launched and vertically landed launch vehicles.
Getting expert advice from the US FAA
As part of its preparations into allowing commercial spaceflight operations to begin in the UK, there was a signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation at the Farnborough air show between the US Federal Aviation Administration, NASA and the US Office of Commercial Space Transportation and the UK Space Agency, the Ministry of Transport, and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). This is to allow the British side to tap into the expertise the FAA has in licencing commercial and suborbital space operations, and to gain help with US ITAR information transfer restrictions. It was specifically mentioned by Catherine Mealing-Jones, Director of Growth at the UK Space Agency, that the UK Ministry of Defence is working on solving the ITAR issues concerned with operating US-sourced hardware at UK spaceports.
Robert Goodwill had earlier explained that like the US, the UK would be regarding suborbital manned space planes as “experimental aircraft” rather than passenger carrying transports.
With respect to ITAR, Professor George C. Nield, Federal Aviation Administration, confirmed that ITAR would not prevent passengers – more correctly termed participants – from having “Informed Consent” before they flew on such experimental space planes. “(Airline) Passengers don’t have to know how to build a Boeing 747,” he noted.
Andrew Nelson, President of prospective suborbital space plane operator XCOR Aerospace agreed, explaining that for a “participant” to have “informed consent” would not involve detailed technical and engineering briefings, but rather an appreciation of the real risk and the reliability history of human rocket plane and spaceflight missions. As to whether Chinese nationals would be allowed to fly on such suborbital space missions, Nelson noted that he had received confirmation from the US State Department decreeing that civilian Chinese passengers would be allowed to fly.
How much would it cost and who will use it?
While Dr David Parker, Head of the UK Space Agency, declined to comment on whether the UK would spend as much on the spaceport and terminal as Virgin Galactic had done with its own New Mexico facility, it is thought that such a spaceport would be converted from an aerodrome at a much cheaper price. As they attempt to tap into a commercial launch market which is projected to be worth £40 billion by 2030, the question remains about who would use such a spaceport? For the time being the UK Space Agency appears to believe that “if you build it, they will come”.
George Whitesides, Chief Executive Officer of Virgin Galactic, refused to comment on whether his suborbital spaceflight firm, which also hopes to one day air-launch orbital satellites, would ever use a UK space port. However, he did note that converting an already existing runway and facilities, was probably the best way to go for the United Kingdom.
With respect to the potential of the United Kingdom building its own launch vehicle, Jean-Jacques Dordain, Director General of ESA noted that he would be in favour: “It is always good news to decrease the cost of access to space.”
On space plane operations, Dordain note that ESA had been providing technical advice to some prospective space plane operators including the Swiss Space Systems. Dordain had also noted that in some space economics and technology areas, Britain was the leader. Dordain noted how ESA was now employing public-private partnerships, most noticeably on Hylas, with the communications firm Avanti, and on Alphasat, with the mobile communications firm, Inmarsat.
Other space news at Farnborough – with glamour, tattoos and regret on show as well
At the press conference it was announced that the US firm Lockheed Martin would be setting up a “space technology office” at the UK Space Gateway centre in Harwell, Oxfordshire. It was also confirmed by Dr David Parker that the British and ESA astronaut, Tim Peake, will be launched to the International Space Station in late 2015.
The Russo-German firm Dauria Aerospace announced a construction order for two small communications satellites for the Indian communications firm Aniara. The two satellites dubbed NextStar-1 and NextStar-2 will have all electric propulsion and will be launched as a pair by India’s GLSV rocket.
Other orders announced included LuxSpace who signed a contract with ESA at Farnborough Air Show to built two micro satellites. The contract is established as a private public partnership, where the final customer – exactEarth of Canada – will make significant investments aside ESA and the participating European companies. The total value of the two satellites is in the order of €30 million. The two satellites will be launched in 2018 and 2019 respectively. They will have a weight of approximately 100 kg and will provide very high quality AIS data for vessel detection.
While this ISS-related Soyuz flight is unlikely to be affected, relations between the UK and Russia have further deteriorated since the annexation of the Crimean region of Ukraine by Russia. The latest move (before the shooting down of a Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 allegedly by pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine) was Britain refusing entry to most of Russia’s main delegation attending the Farnborough air show, despite the fact that Russia had just launched two of its satellites, TechDemoSat and UKube. Russian exhibition stands at Farnborough were manned however, including the space ones, presumably by personnel who got their visas ahead of the ban.
It was not just Russian attendees who were not at the air show. The show did seem to be much quieter than usual.
While he was sadly absent, the former Universities and Science Minister, David Willetts, who resigned as part of the cabinet reshuffle, was given valedictory applause for all that he had done for the space industry in the United Kingdom. There was genuine regret in the space conference audience that he had gone.
Although space remains a side-show at Farnborough – albeit a growing one – and one that commanded a visit from Vince Cable MP, the UK Secretary of State for Business, Innovation & Skills, in truth it was military and civil aviation that was really the main business done at the show.
There was disappointment in the crowd that there would be no flight demonstration of the new Lockheed Martin F-35B “Jump Jet” fighter-bomber after an engine fault had grounded the fleet, there were at least other aircraft equally relevant to past and future UK Defence Policy (or lack thereof).
As civil aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus fought for orders, one display aircraft that fooled many into believing it was a Boeing 737-800/900 (on which it is based) was the US Navy’s Boeing P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft. Mind you its visible open torpedo/depth charge/sonar buoy bay was a major clue as to its real use. It was flying as an encouragement to buy, not least to the executives of UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), who, having also scrapped the very expensively modernised and re-engined Nimrod MRA4 aircraft (not wisely mothballed but actually cut to pieces), now realise that Britain really needs a maritime patrol aircraft after all. Bizarrely, the Boeing P-8 Poseidon was always the best and most cost effective solution for the UK’s needs rather than the nationalistic expensive rebuilding of the Nimrod MR2.
It was, of course, the same Strategic Defence and Security Review in 2010 that scrapped not only the Nimrod but also the Harrier fighter/bomber V/STOL jet. This meant that until the F-35B arrived, Britain’s aircraft carriers (including the newly built HMS Queen Elizabeth) would have no jets to fly off them until 2016 at the earliest.
If the MoD’s mainly middle-aged male politicians, civil servants, and military officers had felt too dispirited by their lack of foresight and poor decision making, albeit made under pressure from the Treasury, they could always cheer themselves up by gawping at more glamorous types on display – most noticeably those of Czech manufacture with their impressive undercarriages on the stand flogging L-39NG jet trainers.
A little less aerospace related were the scantily-clad tattooed women at the shuttle-bus bus stop at the Queen’s Parade car park presenting leaving male attendees with promotional leaflets to the “Tantric Blue Gentlemen’s Club”. While this was an ingenious bit of sexist guerrilla marketing which will no doubt will be picked up by others – the ladies will no doubt be sporting tattoos of Boeing or Airbus logos next time – your middle-aged male correspondent found that, in reality, the actually preferred the L-39NG undercarriages instead. They looked to be in a different class entirely. 🙂

And so it happened; the Dow Transport index closed above 3774 (I spoke about this last week). If Dow Theory is any guide- and history has proven it to be most of the time- the market is headed higher for now.
All the old rules and adages seem to be going out the window this year:
“Sell in May and Go Away.”
And now the ‘rule’ about September being a notoriously bad month for the market could be about to be violated too. The market really does like to embarrass the most people.
But does that mean other ‘rules’ will go out the window too? November through December is supposed to be an UP time for markets….
So caution is warranted.
In the coming weeks, if this prediction plays out as expected, the Dow will go through the psychological 10,000 level again. The media and ‘experts’ will tell you that this means we can all come out of hiding and that this marks the beginning of a new bull market. I can just see the headlines now: “Obama really is Jesus Christ after all and has truly saved us by miraculously defying the natural laws of economics and markets.”
They will be WRONG. In fact, it won’t be long after those claims that the bear comes out of hibernation.
Please understand, I’m not being negative here, I’m being realistic. The problems in the economy are still there. This is a bear market rally and one thing history teaches us is that these rallies can feel like the real thing… and that they can turn down rapidly without warning.
In the coming weeks you’ll think I’m a fool for saying this. Heck, I’ll probably even call myself a fool as I watch the next stage of this rally, which could be very explosive indeed.
If I was going to play this rally, I’d have my hand firmly on the ‘eject’ handle for starters. Then, I’d invest in stocks that have not yet joined the party. Healthcare stocks for example are badly beaten down and have gone too far; these might be the best beneficiaries of the imminent madness and mass delusion.
Also, the natural gas drubbing has opened opportunities for natural resource stocks and a falling dollar will mean rising commodities too. Contango Oil and Gas is appealing as are many of the more junior (not exploratory start-ups) oil and gas companies.
But best of all, you’re about to be handed your last exit for any stocks you still own either directly or through your investment plans. Once the gains start, people will see their 401ks get closer and closer to the level from which the losses began. They’ll get excited. Worse, greed will kick in and they may even start to think they will be in profit again.
But here’s the big question: Even with this newfound confidence, will people start buying and remortgaging their homes and go on a spending spree? In other words, jump start the real economy.
Assuming this rally does materialize as I’m saying, this question is absolutely critical.
Anything can happen and it’s usually what people least expect.
If people are still worried about pink slips, debt, the declined (and still declining?) value of their home, will making up the losses in their 401ks mean anything (assuming the losses do get completely made up)?
Again, I’m not being negative. When stocks represent fair value again I’ll be shouting their praises from the rooftop (which will coincide with the exact time when nobody wants to watch the CNBC cheerleaders anymore).
So I’m not saying ‘sell’; I’m suggesting that you enjoy the rally BUT keeping your hand firmly on the eject handle.
AND when the market starts down again, look for a way to play it. A way to do that, and hedge any further downside to your real estate, is to consider buying a fund like SRS which makes triple money from REITS (real estate investment trusts) falling. Remember, property is at the epicenter of this disaster, particularly commercial property- that one is a ticking time-bomb and could be the catalyst. In recent letters I wrote about retail space vacancy and you only need to look around at all the empty store-fronts to see what I mean here.
And the market isn’t the only thing that looks to be going up either. Gold burst through the $1,000 mark once again and traders seem to feel it’s in four-digits for the foreseeable future.
Just as I believe the stock market is in a primary bear market (primary = the underlying trend), I believe gold is in a primary bull market.
One thing we know about all bull markets: they always end in a big blow-out speculative phase where everyone and their dog is buying gold. This is the time where your barber and taxi driver is a gold expert and people start investing in highly speculative gold explorers. And it’s the time to sell.
But we haven’t seen this yet. Could this be that last phase starting? Well, most people give you a blank look regarding gold and wouldn’t consider buying any, so probably no, not yet. Plus, I think the gold bulls could be in for one last scare before that phase as gold tries to shake off all but its firmest followers.
Deflationary concerns will be the thing that sends both gold and stocks down again over the next few quarters in my opinion.
Now, if you’ve been ignoring my pleas to get some gold, you’re probably wondering if it’s too late and that’s really what I’m talking about. Longer term, government counterfeiting is set to destroy paper currencies so I think it’s dangerous to not at least have some anyway, even at this price.
But if you’re worried you’re missing out, you might want to consider gold’s little brother: silver…
Historically, there’s a ratio of gold to silver that is 50. That’s to say, if you divide the price of gold by the price of silver, you should get 50. More than that, and silver is undervalued and vice versa.
Gold is about $1000 an ounce and silver about $16, so that makes the ratio 62, meaning silver is cheap in relation to gold.
This could well be the next commodity China wants to accumulate (and send the price soaring). Unlike gold, silver isn’t just a precious metal; it’s used in many industrial applications. Even better, China is encouraging its citizens to buy silver (as it’s cheaper for them than gold) to defend against Washington’s counterfeiting.
The trouble with silver is that it’s quite impractical to store it- it would take 62 silver coins to equal just one gold coin currently. Another way to is play it through a silver fund like SLV and/or a silver royalty company like Silver Wheaton (SLW).
But all this is assuming Dow Theory works as it’s supposed to and this psychological rally continues regardless of all the ugly fundamentals.
We’re at an important crossroads in any case and money will be made and lost. Now is definitely not the time to be asleep at the wheel.
Until next time…

The hit movie with Tom Cruise about naval fighter jet pilots has earned $901.9 million at the global box office through Monday, according to The Hollywood Reporter. (RELATED: The New ‘Top Gun’ Movie Is Pure America, Proves People Love Non-Woke Content)
The “Top Gun” sequel is now only the third movie since the start of the pandemic to earn at least $900 million at the global box office.

We love to say that going woke results in going broke. In the case of “Top Gun: Maverick,” giving fans a movie focused on being fun and badass has resulted in printing an outrageous amount of money.
It’s truly awesome watching the second “Top Gun” film dominate and crush the box office. It goes to show that when you give fans what we want, the market will respond accordingly.

Hopefully, the rest of Hollywood is paying attention and recognizes that people don’t want to watch woke content or stuff that lectures us.
We want films that are a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart. We want films that keep us on the edge of our seats, celebrate America and are full of action.

Measuring 46x46 inches, this oversized blanket makes swaddling even the wiggliest baby easy. Made of snuggly soft & super stretchy 95% bamboo, 5% spandex blend fabric parents are obsessing over.


Making a surprise but most welcome visit to Rockhampton Airport during the late afternoon on Thursday 7 July was Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing B737-7ES / E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft A30-005. It completed a missed approach onto Runway 15 and was noted departing to the South as "Mitchell 13".
In fact, a little later, A30-005 was spotted on final approach to RAAF Base Amberley and of interest, a photo on Facebook show that it has had some nose art applied to it.

For Sale or Trade: 1931 Kel Kroydon KK-11 F.O.N. 9798-8 Plectrum in Original Case
Here's a quite rare and late KK-11 in it original plectrum/5-string case. This KK-11 has the F.O.N. 9798-8 in the resonator twice, stamped in the rim, and written in the heel of the neck. The hardware is very clean with the flange having normal slight "pull" around the neck notch. The tailpiece is not original but the original ones are not hard to come by. This would make a great collectors piece or even a great 5-string conversion. This one is in the best shape of any I've had. It has basically no fret wear so I don't think it ever really gotten played much. The case is worth $800-$1000 by itself. If you have any questions or would like more pictures feel free to ask.
If trading, I'd prefer a professional grade banjo. But I'm open to options
***I will sell the pot assembly and resonator separate if so desired and the case as well.

Fleck straightened and stretched his arm. Pain flared. Unbearable agony. He bent, wincing. He opened his eyes and saw King Whitson, fighting desperately to protect Prince Lander. Fleck rose, ignoring the pain, and shouted across the water.
“My place beside you, my blood for yours!
Till the Green Ember rises, or the end of the world!”
The Green Ember – Prologue
A few months ago, I shared with my children the story The Green Ember. The above quote is taken from the prologue. As I read the final pages of The Green Ember, there was much conversation about when the next book would be available and what did everyone think would happen with Picket, Heather, Smalls, Emma, and all the other rabbits. The prologue intrigued us as well. Who was Fleck? What happened after he went to fight beside Whitson Mariner? Did Prince Lander survive?
Thankfully S. D. Smith, did not make us wait long! A first in the Tales of Old Natalia, The Black Star of Kingston takes us back to a century before Heather and Picket’s adventures and gives us the story of the oath.
On the shores of Natalia, The Black Star of Kingston comes to stand by King Whitson. King Whitson is creating a safe haven for the community of rabbits after the invasion on the Golden Coast. As tensions rise within this community, Seddleton, we see Fleck take a place of loyalty with the king.
Fleck was a simple coal miner on the Golden Coast . With a strong character, unwavering loyalty, and full-hearted devotion, he becomes the Black Star of Kingston. Black Star is committed to protecting King Whitson and Prince Lander at all costs.
Once again Smith brings us a tale of daring, adventure, courage, sacrifice and forgiveness with engaging characters and intense battles. We see the struggle that is within us all: When the battle comes, do we fight? Do we run? Do we stand firm on what we believe? Does fear make our belief waver?
Black Star of Kingston, like The Green Ember, is one that I highly recommend. Black Star is a perfect read aloud as all ages will enjoy it. We have a wide range of ages in our home and everyone was asking for more. I love sharing stories such as this with my children. While we enjoy the page-turning action, the conversations we share after reading are priceless. They are already eagerly awaiting the next adventure…..
Black Star of Kingston is available for pre-order and will be available July 13th. Just enough time to enjoy The Green Ember if you haven’t read it yet.


Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) --
The intergovernmental commission of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan will meet in session on Wednesday to discuss bilateral trade and economic cooperation, delimitation and demarcation of the state border and the resumption of Turkmenistan’s electric power traffic via Uzbek territory.
Uzbekistan “remains one of our leading partners in the region,” Tajik Deputy Prime Minister Murodali Alimardon said at the session’s opening ceremony.
According to Alimardon, Dushanbe counts on new forms of cooperation and confidence-building measures between the two neighbouring countries.
Uzbekistan’s chief delegate, First Deputy Prime Minister Rustam Azimov said that today’s talks would be constructive and businesslike, and that all problems would be solved on the basis of stances worked out by both countries’ presidents.
Azimov hopes that there are grounds for constructive cooperation between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
Later in the day Azimov was received by Tajik President Emomali Rakmon.
