The Corpses of the Future
The Corpses of the Future is a sustained, confessional collection of poems by Lynn Crosbie. It tells the story of her father's battle with frontotemporal dementia and blindness following a stroke. The poems chronologically recount the poet's conversations and time with her father and capture his still-astonishing means of communicating. The book's title is his sardonic remark. Crosbie considers dementia to be a symbolic language and as such, similar to poetry. The author's attempts to understand her father's distress, pain, fear and brave love are assisted by her understanding of the "negative capability" required of readers of poetry.
- Lynn Crosbie on literary doppelgangers and the Stepford curse
- How writing helped Lynn Crosbie deal with her father's dementia
This is a harrowing book, with moments of joy and even levity. It is a collection of poetry about love and love's persistence, even under the most unspeakable circumstances. (From House of Anansi Press)


Thousands of school children descended on Westminster today for a second strike demanding the government change its environmental policies.
More than 15,000 youngsters gathered outside the Houses of Parliament to call on politicians to declare a “climate emergency” to deal with the “ecological crisis” threatening the planet.
They marched from Parliament square at midday to the gates of Downing Street, before congregating around Buckingham Palace where they were met with a heavy police presence.
A few of the placards read: “By the time we’re in charge it will be too late”, “we want you to panic” and “the greatest threat to the planet is the belief someone else will save it”.
Some of the other students formed a sitting protest on Trafalgar Square and climbed onto Nelson’s Column.
The demonstrations caused traffic to be severely hampered along Westminster Bridge and Parliament Square, as well as Waterloo Bridge Roundabout.
Youngsters have also today staged events in other British towns and cities including Edinburgh, Canterbury, Oxford and Cambridge.

Historians, civil rights groups and lawmakers say the American Revolution Museum is hosting an upcoming event with “Moms for Liberty,” a controversial movement group that critics called an extremist group. are accusing
Moms for Liberty (M4L), run by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an anti-hate watchdog labeled Radical rebel group to hold summit in Philadelphia this weekend special feature Several Republican presidential candidates, including Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, and Nikki Haley. In response to the decision, which sparked widespread backlash, the American Revolutionary War Museum agreed to host an event to welcome the group on Thursday.
Despite M4L’s claim to defend parental rights in education, many civil rights groups have condemned the group. “oppressive view”and the attempt banned book It also limits classroom conversations about race, sexual orientation, and gender identity.
Earlier this week, the American Historical Association (AHA) sent a letter to R. Scott Stevenson, director of the American Revolutionary War Museum, expressing opposition to the museum’s decision to host groups and urging him to reconsider.
“Moms for Liberty censors and harasses history teachers, bans history books from libraries and classrooms, and makes it impossible for historians to teach professionally and honestly without risking job loss or other penalties. It is a group that has vigorously advocated for legislation to do so,” the letter said. Said.
“For the AHA, this is not about politics or a different understanding of our country’s past. It is about an organization whose mission is to interfere with the professional responsibilities of historians,” the AHA added.
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Historical Commission expressed similar views in a statement. saying: “The LGBT Historical Commission condemns the Museum of the American Revolution’s decision to lease its event space to Moms for Liberty … The organization criticizes the LGBTQIA+ community, including by promoting the use of the term ‘groomers’.” It consistently spreads harmful and hateful rhetoric. It refers to queer people and attacks the mere existence of transgender youth. It is irresponsible and dangerous to give Moms for Liberty a platform to share radical anti-LGBTQIA rhetoric. “
It added, “It is shocking that an organization dedicated to recording and preserving American history would have any association with an organization intent on distorting the American experience.”
in the editorial published In Philadelphia Gay News, Naima Sanchez, senior organizer of the Pennsylvania chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, wrote, “My suggestion for this group is, don’t come to Philadelphia.”
“Banning books and outlawing transgender people will not make schools safer or improve society. ” added Sanchez.
Several lawmakers denounced the museum, and six Democratic senators wrote to Stevenson asking him to cancel the upcoming event.
“Moms for Liberty is, frankly, a hate group … It is imperative that cultural institutions like the American Revolutionary War Museum carefully consider the impact and implications of the organizations they choose to host,” they said. Stated. I have written.
Several museum officials have also spoken out against the museum’s decision.
and statement Despite telling the Philadelphia Inquirer that Stevenson didn’t have to work that night if he didn’t feel safe, assistant curator Trish Norman said, “Thanks again.” I’m not, and I don’t feel safe,” he said.
“I don’t think museums will necessarily push me,” added Norman, who is non-binary.
Another self-professed member of the LGBTQ+ community, Bee Reed, a museum employee, said: Said Philadelphia Gay News: “I have mixed feelings. I’ve been working at this museum for four or five years, and I’ve always been grateful to work in a place that has supported me so much as a queer person.” But in this regard, I feel a great betrayal.”
comment Opinions criticizing the museum’s decision also flooded the museum’s Instagram page.
The museum defended its decision by saying: statement“The American Revolution Museum strives to create an inclusive and accessible museum experience for visitors with a wide range of perspectives and beliefs … because advancing understanding in a democratic society is central to our mission. , is rejecting visitors for the following reasons.” In fact, the ideology would be diametrically opposed to our purpose. “
This isn’t the first time “Mommies for Liberty” has sparked controversy. Last week, the Indiana chapter of the group sparked a backlash soon afterward. published Adolf Hitler’s words in the inaugural newsletter.

An 87-year-old man from Lupane who is facing allegations of raping his 14-year-old granddaughter told the court that he was simply too old and weak to ra_pe anyone.
According to the Sunday News, the senior citizen who can not be named in order to protect his victim’s identity denied the ra_pe charges when he appeared before Hwange regional magistrate, Collet Ncube last week.
He told the court,
Your Worship, these charges against me are unfounded and I deny them. As an elderly and feeble man, how would I possibly have managed to ra_pe a 14-year-old girl stronger than me? I’m actually too old and weak to ra_pe anyone. I suspect she is being influenced by some members from the community to make up this story for reasons I’m not aware of.
He was remanded in custody to Monday for judgement. According to the State, he is alleged to have sneaked into his grand daughter’s bedroom and ra_ped her after the grandmother had travelled. He is alleged to have raped her again on another occasion and was arrested after the local police constabulary (informally referred to as ‘Neighbourhoods’) received a tip-off.


Purpose of the Policy
New York University’s (“University”) status as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code prohibits it from participating or intervening in any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office. The University may not endorse a candidate or ballot proposal, provide or solicit financial or other support for candidates or political organizations, or establish political action committees. Participating in political campaigns by or in the name of the University could jeopardize the University’s tax-exempt status.
The University is committed to the principle of academic freedom, which is essential to the free search for truth and its free expression. Accordingly, the University is committed to free and open discussion of ideas and opinions and encourages University members to exercise their civic rights to participate as individuals in the political process. At the same time, no University member should feel institutional pressure or pressure by colleagues to contribute to, or perform tasks in support of, a political campaign.
Who Needs to Know this Policy
All University employees, including faculty, administration, and staff must know this policy.
University members means all New York University employees, including faculty, administration, and staff.
Political Campaign Activity
Political campaign activity includes payment or solicitation of campaign contributions; service in furtherance of candidates, political parties and/or political action committees; advocating a particular position on a referendum.
Lobbying includes any attempt by a University member to influence legislation, a policy action or other government decision in the University’s name, using University resources, or on behalf of the University. The University is required to report all such interactions that take place by any person who is employed by the University. An interaction may require the individual who has engaged in the contact to become a registered lobbyist.
It is the policy of New York University not to participate in, directly or indirectly, or to intervene in any political campaign on behalf of, or in opposition to, any candidate for public office. Participation includes distributing statements in favor of or opposed to a candidate and making direct campaign contributions of University funds, as well as in-kind, or non-cash, contributions to a candidate, political party, or political action group. Also included are the use of a University member’s time while at work, office spaces and office supplies (envelopes, paper, etc.), telephones, computers, email, mailing lists, and photocopy machines.
The accompanying guidelines regarding political activity and the use of University facilities for political activities are designed to help ensure adherence to these fundamental principles. This list is only a sample of the type of uses that are prohibited.
- University employees may participate in political activity only as private citizens, not as representatives of the University. Employees are entitled to participate in or contribute to any political organization or campaign, but may not label any personal communication with legislators as being representative of the University.
- Fundraising and/or contributions for political candidates or campaigns may not, under any circumstances, be solicited in the name of New York University or on any University campus.
- University members may not use University funds or attempt to be reimbursed with University funds for any political participation.
- University members who engage in voter registration or "get out the vote" drives by University-sponsored organizations must do so on a non-partisan basis (i.e., they may not focus on a particular party).
- University members may not post campaign posters or distribute campaign literature on the University campus.
- University members must refrain from attempting to influence government officials by providing or offering any benefit in the University’s name, using University resources, or on behalf of the University. If a University member is responsible for conducting transactions or handling contracts with governmental agencies, he or she must ensure that they are handled honestly and ethically.
- University members must report inappropriate requests for benefits from government officials. If a government representative requests or demands any type of benefit from the University, the member must report the matter immediately to the Office of Government and Community Affairs or the Office of Legal Counsel.
While the University is allowed to lobby on specific issues, the IRS places strict limitations on this kind of advocacy. If you have any questions about political participation and the University’s tax-exempt status, contact the Office of Government and Community Affairs or the Office of Legal Counsel.

“Of course they want to keep our CF-18s there,” Sajjan noted in a radio program on CBC Saturday. However, an aerial campaign alone is not the “responsible” thing to do in the existing conditions.
“The responsible thing, in my opinion, is to make sure we, as a coalition partner, look at the current situation, the needs of the coalition,” he said. “When you look at the current situation, the conversation is […] ‘How do we target more?’”
At present, an airstrike mission is clearly just not enough – in contrast to the earlier phase of the war, when Daesh was “in the open”.
“Now the fight has gone into where you need to be able to define and find your target, and then be able to have that impact on the ground,” Sajjan stressed out.
Canada’s CF-18 fighter jets currently take part in air combat missions with the US-led international coalition against the Islamic State (Daesh) militant group, which is outlawed in many countries including Russia. Canada has also deployed 70-strong special forces to train Kurds in the Iraqi Kurdistan since 2014.
New Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said late last year that all Canadian aircraft will be withdrawn from the conflict by March 31, 2016.
Boots on the ground
After suggesting a ground force is now a key to the military victory against Daesh, minister Sajjan immediately refuted Canadian troops alone will get the job done. He seems a common “advise and assist” program will do fine for Kurds and Arabs in Iraq, who will be able to effectively stand against jihadists.
“Just as we phased our training in Afghanistan and were able to slowly pull away, this is one of the effective tools we’re very good at,” Sajjan, who was on military missions in Afghanistan three times, commented.
Instead, Canada’s military has another work to concentrate on at home: engaging more women and minorities to enlist.
“The military, even when I was serving, has made strides in trying to connect with all Canadians… but we can do better,” he pointed out.
Currently, women account for under 15 percent of military members and minorities comprise about 5 percent.

On Twitter, Giorgio Tsoukalos denied one of the key arguments he pretended to make on In Search of Aliens on Friday. During the episode, he suggested that Cyclopes were the same as Giants, and that the Giants were the Nephilim, the offspring of Fallen Angels and human women. On Twitter, Tsoukalos unintentionally revealed that his show is a bunch of hokum when he stated that he “personally” doesn’t buy into the argument he himself made:
Tsoukalos also expressed his belief that Cyclopes were misunderstood fossil elephant skulls, as Othenio Abel proposed in 1914 (albeit without evidence)—an argument never presented on In Search of Aliens:
That’s why ancient astronaut theorists always use so many qualifiers—they don’t even believe the crap they expect their audience to buy into!
It’s refreshing, therefore, when a TV personality has something direct to say about aliens without the qualifiers and backtracking, even if that personality is just a reality TV star who doesn’t seem to really have any idea what he’s saying.
The British reality soap opera The Only Way Is Essex made what I gather is something of a star out of cast member Joey Essex, who received a spin off series, Educating Joey Essex, which airs on ITV2. In last week’s episode of the series, the reality star, who also did stints on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here and Splash, traveled to Nevada to search for space aliens at Area 51. He also spoke with a woman named Tina Marie who claims to be an alien abductee. In an interview with STV, Essex was asked whether he encountered some actual extraterrestrials during his trip: “I think so. Basically aliens looks like us humans, they just don’t have blood.” That’s a new one on me.
What isn’t new is Mike Bara’s offensive and insulting blog posts, which reach new depths of odiousness whenever I think that the ancient astronaut theorist and television personality has hit rock bottom. I would like to know how it is that H2 allows the man on the air on Ancient Aliens and Discovery Communications made him the star of the Science Channel’s Uncovering Aliens when the man writes things like this for public consumption:
For some reason last week, Phil "Dr. Phil" Plait, that grotesque little toad of a man, decided to bring up theFace on Mars in his blog on Slate.com. As we all know, Slate is popular destination for political liberals, who love it for it's [sic] dysentery-like stream of attacks on anyone who believes in God or actually seeks the truth, as opposed to groveling at the altar of scientific materialism.
Note: Plait’s blog post was actually a brief promotional piece directing readers to a Slate video about the Face on Mars produced independently of Plait. Bara seems not to understand this.
Bara tries to defend the reality of the Face on Mars by arguing that it is half human and half feline, and that it also is an exact visual double for the ruins of a collapsed sports arena.
When media personalities in fields other than fringe conspiracies say things like this, their networks either fire them or demand apologies and sensitivity training. Yet somehow fringe studies exempts individuals from having a modicum of politeness or professional decency. Compare, for example, the outrage even at Fox News when then-Fox employee Glenn Beck accused Barack Obama of being an anti-white racist with the silence that met Jim Marrs’s assertion last year that the president is planning a Russian-led military coup followed by genocide. Marrs, a frequent cable TV guest, is published by HarperCollins, which was owned by News Corp. (now owned by the new and legally distinct News Corp.), the then-parent of Fox News (now owned by 21st Century Fox).
Mike Bara, intemperate and egotistical, acts more like an Ann Coulter-like agent provocateur than the seeker of “the truth” he pretends to be on television, where editors can excise his offensive remarks. I can’t see how it does any good to either H2 or Science to have their “stars” acting like teen cyberbullies, but it’s their choice. Giorgio Tsoukalos mostly learned his lesson, and as his star rose he largely purged his Twitter feed of his frequently obnoxious, insulting, and vulgar attacks on his critics. Though not entirely:
Remember: With the ancient astronaut theory, it’s all about quantity, not quality.

After a tough defeat against Lithuania, Team USA found renewed determination as they faced off against Italy in the quarterfinals of the FIBA World Cup. The loss to Lithuania was a source of embarrassment for the team, fueling their drive to showcase their prowess against Italy.
The potential of an early exit from the tournament was a burden that the team couldn’t bear. Despite their relatively limited experience in international play, the players were determined to prove their mettle on the court.
Team USA exhibited a remarkable display of skill, led by standout performances from Tyrese Haliburton, Mikal Bridges, and Austin Reaves. These players made significant contributions to secure a resounding victory over Italy with a final score of 100-63.
Austin Reaves, who struggled in the previous game against Lithuania, bounced back with a solid performance. He managed to contribute 12 points, showcasing his ability to overcome challenges. Reaves had encountered difficulties in the previous game, facing tough defense and aggressive tactics from the opposing team. However, his improved performance against Italy demonstrated his resilience and adaptability.
Tyrese Haliburton and Mikal Bridges also played crucial roles in Team USA’s victory. Haliburton scored 18 points with remarkable efficiency, while Bridges displayed exceptional skill by accumulating 24 points in just 18 minutes of play. The trio of Haliburton, Bridges, and Reaves emerged as the primary contributors in double-digit figures.
Team USA’s athleticism was a notable advantage that created problems for Italy’s offense. The American team’s trapping tactics proved challenging for Italy to counter, highlighting the defensive strength of Team USA.
Looking ahead in the tournament, Team USA’s next challenge will be against the winner of the Latvia vs. Germany matchup in the semifinals. On the opposite side of the bracket, Lithuania’s defeat against Serbia resulted in Serbia advancing to face the winner of the Slovenia vs. Canada match.
As the FIBA World Cup progresses, Team USA’s performance remains a focal point of interest for basketball enthusiasts around the world. The team’s impressive display against Italy serves as a testament to their determination and skill, setting the stage for an exciting continuation of the tournament.

Onwards and ever deeper into the labyrinthine of corridors we will go now as we explore more rooms further into the National Audio Show 2012.
Catalunya – Jordan Acoustics/Marantz/Boston Acoustics
Marantz’s brand ambassador/designer Ken Ishitwata was busy all weekend doing timed demonstrations in this room – sadly time constraints meant I could not attend – and during a break in the demonstrations I snuck into the room and took some photos of the very affordable system Ken was using. It comprised of an SA11.5.3 SACD player and a matching PM 11.5.3 integrated amplifier and a pair of Boston M25’s that Ken had some design input.
After taking the photos I sat and had a listen to the system and I was very impressed with the sound and in particular the full well balanced sound the speakers were making. The sound stage was wide deep and highly focussed imaging was pin point and despite the room being large and the speakers small the bass was very good – impressive stuff indeed.
I asked about the speakers – Boston M25s – and was expecting a retail price of several thousand which is pretty much the norm for high performance mini-monitors but I was blown away by the modest cost, a truly shockingly little £579. It has been a long time sing my lower jaw has hit the floor.
More on the Boston M25 speakers…
‘The m series family of loudspeakers was created to deliver exceptionally accurate and natural sound reproduction from an aesthetically pleasing design. Each m series product was specifically engineered to provide superior acoustic results for the intended application.
Most remarkably, the M350, M340 and M25 utilize the Extended Wide Bandwidth (EWB) tweeter and Boston Acoustics Lo-Q™ cabinet construction for pure sound reproduction and minimal interference from the cabinet.
The look of the m series includes traditional and modern design cues that provide exceptional sonic results and allow them to easily integrate in a wide variety of home décors. The M350, M340 and M25 is available in gloss black lacquer and traditional walnut veneer, both with black faux leather trim.
Main features are: Second generation Extended Wide Bandwidth (EWB) Tweeter to minimize phase shift and distortion while improving pistonic motion, polypropylene woofers are lightweight and rigid with large motor structures for maximum low frequency output and heat dissipation, Boston Lo-Q cabinet design to minimize cabinet response and interference, leatherette covered baffle, rounded cabinet design with premium quality finish, 5-way gold-plated precision binding posts, high quality crossover network filter circuit boards and components.
Specification:Design: 2-way, 5 1/4″ (133mm) polypropylene woofer, 1″ (25mm) EWB dome tweeter, Frequency Response: 62Hz – 30kHz, Recommended Amplifier Power: 50 – 200W, Impedance: 4 ohms, Sensitivity: 85dB, Dimensions (HxWxD mm): 314 x 176 x 258, Weight (kg): 6,7
In my view even based on a short listen these are a stunning achievement.
Elsewhere around the room various other pieces of Marantz electronics and Boston Acoustics speakers were on static display.
Imola – Inspire HiFi
I was particularly keen on visiting this room – something I did a number of times over the duration of the show – to hear their Technics 1200 derived turntable The Monarch, but instead they were using a brand new product the Enigma which is another turntable derived from a vintage design, in this case the Goldring Lenco GL75.
When I entered the room Inspire were playing Stimela by Hugh Masekela when I entered the room and sat down and despite the volume level being a tad too loud and some bass issues the music was beautifully reproduced with a wide deep soundstage, good instrument separation and focus and a slightly to the warmer side of neutral musical sound. I sat pulled into the music and I very much enjoyed the sound of the Enigma.
Later that same day – The Saturday – the Monarch was playing and I found myself much preferring the sound of the Enigma as it sounded thinner, slightly etched and more hifi sounding than the – to my ears – more musical Enigma. Yes the arm and cart were different but still the Enigma in this setting was the better sounding source. Obviously it goes with out saying, but I will anyway, that in a more sympathetic room, with a system I know well that might not be the case but on this showing the Enigma showed the Monarch a clean pair of heels and to my mind it is a wonderfully musical turntable that reproduces music not all the elements spotlit.
As there is no info on the Enigma yet – Inspire’s webiste is being updated (1) – I will concentrate on the Monarch. This what Inspire say about it on their website….
‘The Monarch turntable is Direct Drive and apart from the inspiring design, features, and materials used in its construction, it utilises some remanufactured previously used parts from Technics 1210 turntables – all the parts are thoroughly tested and inspected before the remanufacturing takes place – As most of us know, the Technics 1210 features some high specification parts – Utilising some of the best parts from the 1210 has further enabled us to bring something very special and desirable to the customer at a much lower price than they would otherwise have to pay.
Bearing spindle re housed in a phosper bronze sealed bearing – each bearing is manufactured by us to fit individually the Technics bearing spindle – Hi grade oil is used within the bearing (without the platter on – pull the bearing shaft up a little and feel the pull back into the bearing – this is due to extreme tolerances being used) Bearing assembly securely fitted to the aluminium billet sandwiched between the solid wood.
Motor magnets and some motor circuitry are re housed into a brand new platter / plinth (more on the platter and plinth later).
The on board circuitry is upgraded with hi spec parts such as a new Quartz chip of much higher spec – taking speed control to another level and this can clearly be heard in listening tests – speed drift simply will not happened with the Monarch – perfect everytime.
The remainder of the Monarch has been inspired by us to give absolute quality rarely seen even at many times the price. The stunningly beautiful plinth is solid Walnut (other woods may be available) with an internal layered billet of 6 mm aluminum – Rigid beyond anything we have seen in other turntables – Rigidity and mass combined to give terrific isolation and a platform for all the parts to work very effectively.
The rigidness and mass are perfect to take the parts such as the bearing assembly screwed directly to the sandwiched aluminium – the arm board can be cut for all arms up to 12 inch. The billet of aluminium which makes up the arm board is also bolted to the internal sandwiched aluminium. The toggle switch for speed selection and stop start is a delight to use, and the turntable becomes clinical in its simplicity – almost like using a costly hi spec cd player!
The Monarch platter is two superbly machined billets of aluminium with a sandwich of sorbothane through the middle – this allows the Monarch to avoid the pitfalls of a top mat needing to be used – In tests over a long period we have found that mats only add to the sound in unwanted colouration – Our platter most definitely does not use a mat, and the benefits are immense, and can clearly be heard – with more detail and separation of individual instruments. The platter top is beautifully machined and has a slight record label recess and 3 added ring indents to off set any resonance escaping from the vinyl. The heavy stainless steel puck adds that extra control of the record to the platter surface – again with added benefits to the music reproduction. The feet are machined from aluminium and have shock absorbers internally fitted – they look good and give a superb base (and isolation) on which the plinth can rest and perform.
The Monarch at first sight appears very compact refined and beautifully understated – looks can be deceiving! It takes all arms up to and including 12 inch variants – (our preferred option) with the 27% better tracking ability (information courtesy of SME LTD). The Monarch weighs in at a massive 39lbs.
The plinth design is like no other in that it will still fit most turntable shelves etc whilst allowing the use of the 12 inch tonearm – indeed it is only 2 inch’s wider than an LP12 . Our off board power supply (spec below) is manufactured with the highest grade parts…….’ Price without arm £3970
The Monarch is certainly impressive to look at as is its fit and finish, which is to a very high standard – therefore it hides its origins well. I look forward to hearing it again and in comparison to its idler drive brother The Enigma.
Around the room other Inspire products were on static display.
Below the cheaper Monarch turntable, still based on a Technics 1200, The Junior which retails for £2500
Monaco – Analogue Alchemy
This year found Analogue Alchemy very much consolidating their position and products with nothing new to show as such but their electronics are now much closer to completion with Alex Nitikin heading the development.
The turntables now have model names with Julie the entry level turntable followed by Ella, Norah and top of the range, Gloria. All these ladies are still as beautiful to my eyes as the first time I saw them back at the 2011 Audio world show at the Park Inn Heathrow.
When I entered the room an ANT Audio heavily modified rebuilt Technics 122 mk3 tape deck was playing and the sound was stunning. I would challenge anyone to have been able to identify that it was tape playing. Alex charges £800 and you provide the tape deck, so if you have one it would in my view be well worth contacting him about getting it rebuilt.
I look forward to seeing where Analogue Alchemy are as a company next time I visit their room.
57 – Wireworld
American company Wire World had their full range of signal, speaker, video, computer audio, mains and digital cables on display.
With so many products in their room I decided to focus on the up and coming computer audio arena and the Wire World Starlight USB cable which is now available for USB3.
Wireworld would appear to be the first specialist cable manufacturer to be offering audiophile quality USB3 cables. This is an important addition to the computer audiophile arsenal of connection choices as many external hard-drives (Seagate, Western digital, Freecom) which need to be hooked up to a computer and then into a DAC, now come with a USB 3 connection.
This is going to be an increasingly important as most of the hard-drive manufacturers are now switching from USB2 to USB3, so its nice to know that Wire World now offer a way of keeping the cable path from HD to PC/MAC and then into the DAC the same – personally I think this is important.
WireWorld USB cables feature Symmetricon™ cable design with islolated power lead. WireWorld USB cables function over significantly longer runs than conventional USB cables and provides improved sound quality in media server, PC audio, and other digital music applications.
Wire World have been very clever in their USB cable range designs – including Ultraviolet, Starlight Silver and Platinum – in that the audio and power cables are kept separate, thus ensuring that any damage the power transmission aspect of a USB cable has, is prevented from damaging the delicate digital audio signals, which in traditional USB cables are in close proximity to each other – which is not a good thing.
Wire World say this about it…
‘WireWorld USB cables feature Symmetricon™ cable design with islolated power lead. WireWorld USB cables function over significantly longer runs than conventional USB cables and provides improved sound quality in media server, PC audio, and other digital music applications.’
Wire World say this about their Starlight USB3 cables….
The unique flat design of the Starlight® USB3 cable was derived from WireWorld’s award-winning flat HDMI cables. This elegant cable features 12 conductor Symmetricon™ design utilizing 24 gauge silver-clad OFC conductors to provide substantially higher fidelity than other USB cables, regardless of cost.
Conductor type: Silver-clad oxygen-free copper
Available lengths: 0.5m, 1.0m, 2.0m, 3.0m & 5.0m
Available as:Type A plug to Type B (STX) Type A plug to Micro-B (STZ)’
As yet neither the Ultraviolet not Starlight Platinum ranges have USB3 connection, but I would guess with the increasing popularity of high quality computer audio its only a matter of time before they do.
Starlight USB3 cables are priced from £105 for a 0.5 m and the cables are available in longer lengths.
56 – Advanced Acoustics
Having decided to stop distributing electronics Sean has decided to consolidate Advanced Acoustics by returning to his first love and passion – not that he had paused this – which is room acoustics and he had a number of very interesting new items in the room in the shape of the QRDs -Quadratic Residue Diffusers.
These cubes – about the size of average record storage cubes – are open at the front with various vertical slats positioned within to diffuse as Advanced Acoustics say on their website…
‘While absorption is vital for any room an area that can’t be ignored is diffusion. Diffusion is the even spreading of sound waves from a direct source. So if you have a small space diffusion can give the idea of a room being larger than it actually is by providing increased natural ambience. By having no absorption or diffusion installed in a space speech intelligibility is reduced and sound quality is degraded and while absorbent materials will help a great deal in solving that dedicated well designed diffusion such as our QRD Diffuser will be much more effective.’
At the very reasonable price of £186 each these are a in my view a definite must try product along with their absorption panels.
Sound within this room was pretty good despite there being no curtains.
58 – Ming Da
I can’t help but feel a tad weird entering this room as it is a short distance away from where Icon Audio had their equipment set up, and Ming Da products are visually very similar to some of the Icon Audio electronics. The reason for this is Ming Da manufacturer the Icon Audio products to David Shaw’s specifications – many resembling native Ming Da items – and make items specific to Icon Audio as well. I am well aware that for years Chinese items have appeared on the audio market that resemble others Bewitch and Pure Sound being another case in point but in reality are not the same and having heard Icon Audio in the past in controlled circumstances – i.e in my home system and at many shows so I was very keen to hear Ming Da’s native products and here was my opportunity.
The system on show comprised of MD 7SE £1520 pre-amplifier, MC 805 amplifier£3499, MC 2000 CD CD player £1395, MC 2006 phonostage £1595, Audio Note DAC One, Acoustic Solid Solid Machine turntable and Tune Audio Marvel Speakers £8995
The items that particularly caught my eye was the MC805 power-amplifier…
‘MC805-A 40W monoblock power amplifier. This amplifier uses the classic 805ASE triode valve running in single-ended configuration, and heavy duty transformers to ensure that the output is as pure as possible. Sold in pairs, and an ideal match to one of the Ming Da pre-amplifiers.
Specifications: Power output: 40W RMS, Distortion factor: <1% at full power, Frequency response: 18Hz – 30kHz ± 1dB, Signal to noise ratio: >88dB
The pre-amplifier being used in the system also looked very interesting…. ‘MD7SE preamplifier. A very high quality preamplifier, using 6SN7 valves, specifically chosen for their widely acclaimed musicality, and using a 274B valve rectifier to practically eliminate power supply noise.
Also available is the MD7SE-S for the committed audiophile, with specially selected 6SN7 valves and premium Jensen coupling capacitors.
Specification: Frequency response: 10Hz – 75kHz ± 1dB, Distortion factor: <0.03%, Signal to noise ratio: >91dB, Nominal input level: 100mV (max 2V pk), Input impedance: 100kΩ
and the ‘MC2006 phono stage: top of the range phono stage, switchable betweenmoving coil and moving magnet inputs. The power supply is separately housed and uses valve rectifiers to provide the lowest possible noise figure. DC heater supply further reduces the possibility of hum and mains-borne interference being picked up. The input matching transformers are made in Britain specially for this product
Specifications – moving magnet: Input sensitivity: 100µ, Input impedance: 47kΩ, Voltage gain: 60dB, Signal to noise ratio: 90dB. Specifications – moving coil: Input sensitivity: 1mV, Input impedance: 100Ω, Voltage gain: 80dB, Signal to noise ratio: 78dB’
The Tune Audio marvel speakers a two way horn loaded speaker also impressed me both visually and sonically….
‘High quality 8″ wide range driver for low & mid frequencies modified in house and 1″ compression driver with titanium diaphragm for high frequencies.
MARVEL, a two way design, compact enough to house a back loaded bass horn driven by a wide range 8″ driver. Bass horn fires to the floor and it’s build of grade A Baltic birch plywood. Mid frequencies are radiated directly by the cone while the high frequencies are handled by our proprietary epoxy compound tractrix horn.
Crossovers are of 1st order and located on the bottom of the bass horn well away from driver’s magnetic fields. All components are hard wired for best contact. All internal wiring are custom made of high purity OFC copper with waxed cotton insulation. Brass bracing parts with felt acoustic isolation are used to minimize vibrations transfer on contacts of the different horns.
High frequencies horn is located on the side of the bass horn mechanically time aligned for a time coherent result. User can adjust the level and beaming of the high frequencies horn to fine tune MARVEL to the listening room and position.
Specifications: System Sensitivity: 97db, Impedance Nominal: 8ohms, Crossover @ 2500HZ, Recommended Power. > 5watt, Recommended Amplifiers. Low-mid powered tube or solid state with low or no feedback. Recommended Placement. Near wall or room corner placement is desirable. Preferred clearance between speakers >1.5 m., Listening Distance. >2 m.
Dimensions.H149cm, W32cm, L56cm,Weight. 42Kgr each, various finishes either in natural wood or paint are available.’
Sound quality was open detailed, musically effortless and the speakers lacked any of the more obvious horn colourations that to me get in the way of the music – shock horror another horn speaker I liked.
It was pretty much the end of the Saturday when I visited this room and the exhibitors were pretty chilled out and relaxed – read totally knackered as was I – but I managed to have a brief chat with them re their products and a short discussion broke out re the merits of Prog rock and this resulted in some Emerson Lake and Palmer being played.
59 – Jordan Acoustics – Art Loudspeakers, Systemdek, McIntosh
Jordan Acoustics had two rooms at this show – as they had at last year’s show – and also like last years show the system featured components from Art Speakers, various examples of McIntosh valve amplification, a Systemdek 3D Signature turntable.
The exact system breakdown is as follows: McIntosh C500 pre-amplifier, C452 power-amplifier, MC275 mk6 power-amplifier, Naim HDX server, Bricasti m1 DAC, Nagra VPS phonostage, Systemdek 3D Reference turntable, Davinci Master Reference Virtu tonearm, Transfiguration Pheonix MC cartridge.
Within this room Art Loudspeakers were premièring their new Alnico range of speakers and in particular the Signature speakers at £22000
Art say this about them…
‘The ART Alnico series consists of three new loudspeakers that share a 35mm soft dome alnico magnet high frequency unit. This provides high sensitivity and excellent stability giving each model a natural and life like presentation. They all utilise curved wide baffle cabinets constructed from laminated birch plywood with solid aluminium front panels and tops. Secured to these the drive units deliver a performance of beguiling realism with scale, depth and agility.’
Their specification is as follows: Speaker type 3 way bass reflex floor standing, Bass / Mid Driver 1 x 260mm bass (treated paper), 1 x 150mm midrange (treated paper),Tweeter 35mm soft dome alnico magnet, Crossover Jensen copper foil inductors and capacitors, Internal wiring Kondo KSL Spc copper, Binding posts WBT Platinum terminals, Frequency response 26Hz – 20kHz ± 3dB, Sensitivity 90 dB/for 1 watt @ 1 meter, Impedance 8 ohm nominal impedance, Recommended power min 8 watts, Cabinet S Glass Laminated Birch Ply Cabinet machined from solid billet aluminium front baffle and top.,Overall dimensions 1100mmH x 320mmD x 430mmW (Cabinet), Weight packed 80 kilos each.
Also in the room was the lovely looking new version McIntosh 275 stereo power-amplifier, which has the sockets positioned differently. McIntosh say this about this version of the 275 power-amplifier…..
This sixth generation MC275 has many subtle enhancements from the previous release that greatly improve performance. Combined with the widest bandwidth McIntosh output transformer design, the MC275 features tauter bass control and thermally quiet circuit design. The result is pure music.
McIntosh patented, gold plated, speaker binding posts assure the best connection to all speaker cables, while high quality balanced and unbalanced input connectors enhance signal transfer from the connected pre-amplifier.
The seven small tubes are LED illuminated to indicate the amplifiers functional status: upon power up, they sequentially glow amber for a few seconds and then all turn green to signify system readiness (see below). In the rare case of an output tube failure, the small tubes in front of it will turn red to notify you of the problem. Power Control is used to remotely control tube illumination from a McIntosh pre-amplifier.’ Current Retail price is £3999 for this piece of ongoing audio history.
Having had a listen to one of the slightly older version of this amplifier recently I did find that its having the power input on the opposite end to the signal terminations a bit of a pain. Personally I would prefer it if the power socket was on the back as in my view it would A look better and B make it easier to place the amp.
The rest of the system looked amazing too.
Jordan Acoustics always go for broke in their system set ups at the shows I attend and despite the lack of curtains leading to a pretty live acoustic, this system sounded very good indeed.
German speaker manufacturer Quadral was showing its own speakers and electronics from the Aurum brand.
512 – Origin Live
Mark Baker was looking very relaxed when I entered his room and had a listen and despite the lack of curtains to tame a fairly live room the sound was quite good.
Mark was using a Music First pre-amplifier, Origin Live Discovery new phonostage, Origin Live Sovereign mk2 turntable with Enterprise-C tonearm, Cambridge Audio CD player and Astute Speakers and Subwoofers.
This year his radical speaker design The Astute’s were being complemented by upward facing subwoofer’s the Astute 12.
Origin Live say this about this unusual design….
‘To complement the Astute 8 we have introduced the Astute subwoofer 12. This extends the frequency range of the system down to 30hz (-3dB) providing thunderous lows while retaining near perfect speed and accuracy.
At the heart of this design is an ultra low distortion, high efficiency woofer providing great control and musicalty. With carefully optimised cabinet and driver design, the subwoofer integrates seamlessly with the Astute 8s, or any other loudspeaker of your choice.
The amplifier module powering this subwoofer is a Class D design that provides RMS power of 550w, with peaks in excess of 1Kw. The massive headroom in the amplifier allows breathtaking dynamics and unsurpassed performance, critical to your enjoyment of the music.
The Subwoofer also features variable gain, +/- 180 phase control, variable crossover (50-150hz), and variable parametric EQ. These allow you to tune the subwoofer perfectly to any room, and any taste. Inputs to the Subwoofer 12 are either XLR or RCA (either stereo or mono).’
Also in the room and system on demonstration was a new phonostage from Origin Live, the Discovery 2 but sadly there are no details on it yet.
As always it was a pleasure visiting the Origin Live room but sadly time pressures meant I could not sit and listen for very long.
I must apologise to my readers for the lateness of this part of the NAS 2012 show report, I am back on track now, so the rest will follow more quickly. All I can say is that life got in the way.
Part Four will follow very soon.

Chipping Sparrows are slender, long-tailed birds with a grayish belly and brown and black-streaked back, with a rusty crown and black eye line. In winter, the colors are more subdued.
- Spizella passerina
- Length: 4.7-5.9 in (12-15 cm)
- Weight: 0.4-0.6 oz (11-16 g)
- Wingspan: 8.3 in (21 cm)
Chipping Sparrows spend their summer breeding in the US and Canada before flying to Mexico and Florida for winter. Some remain all year in the southern US states.
Habitat And Diet
You can find Chipping Sparrows in small flocks on the ground, often in woods and parks with trees.
Chipping Sparrow Sounds:
They get their name from the sharp ‘chip’ call they make. Their distinctive song is a stuttering trill.
Nests of Chipping Sparrows are off the ground, hidden in trees or shrubs, and are built by females. The nests are made from dried grass and small roots, but they are very basic and not very dense.
Chipping Sparrows lay up to seven eggs and up to three broods a year. The eggs take around two weeks to hatch, and the young fledge in under two weeks.
Attract Chipping Sparrows
Attract to your backyard with seeds or cracked corn on open feeders such as hoppers or platforms.
A group of Chipping Sparrows is known as a tournament.


Personally, I have noticed Apple iPhone users become enamoured over the larger screens offered by the recent crop of Android-based high-end phones like the Samsung Galaxy S and Note series. For example, a friend of mine liked the fact that my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 had a large screen and thought that this could be a mobile phone solution for her older mother-in-law if this was available in the iPhone range because of the iOS platform being the preferred operating environment for that family.
Apple is feeling worried that the competition are offering better devices than them and the rumour mill that floods the American tech press started to flow with talk about an upcoming iPhone to be launched this year. This has been augmented with Apple having the iOS 8 nearly ready to release at effectively “8.0.0”, which tends to lead to talk of a major revamp for at least one iOS-based product range, usually the iPhone rather than issuing one or more variants or product refreshes. As well, the press were running reports about the manufacturing plants being required to start manufacturing runs of at least 70 million units long, if not 80 million units.
At the moment, the report reckons that September 9 will be the time Apple premieres this product range with typically 2 weeks later being the time that the faithful can line up outside the Apple Stores and mobile phone resellers to get their claws on these devices. Questions I often think of are whether Apple will provide a large lineup of these devices to suit different user needs and requirements.
What I like of this news is that the large-screened phones are becoming available in all of the smartphone operating platforms rather than some of these platforms. It may also be a chance for Apple to answer the wishes of their faithful who have been pining at the larger-screen phones offered by the competition and allow these people to stay loyal to the Apple ecosystem while satisfying the large-screen desires. Could I also see this as a chance for Apple to investigate the idea of touch-screen computing for the Macintosh platform and make computers and displays that have the touchscreen interface.

The Orioles will be without their usual left side of the infield, at least at the start, when they take the field tonight for Game 1 of a three-game series at Oakland. Neither Maikel Franco, who has made 23 starts at third base, nor Freddy Galvis, who has made 22 at shortstop, are in tonight’s lineup for the series opener.
Galvis has missed the last three games and has not played since Monday night when he suffered a sore left adductor/groin when running out a double. Franco had started every game to date, with also two starts as the designated hitter.
“Just got a little bit of bumps and bruises,” manager Brandon Hyde said of Franco in his pregame Zoom session with reporters. “Hasn’t had a day off yet. Just woke up a little bit sore. So he’ll be available off the bench today. I’ve been looking for a day to kind of give everybody. Franco has played every inning so far. We all felt like today was the right day to give him a breather.”
Franco is batting .242/.308/.400 with three homers and his 17 RBIs are tied with Trey Mancini for the team lead.
When asked if anything is more sore for Franco, Hyde said “lower back.”
Galvis played in just the series opener against the Yankees, leaving that game early. For the season, he is batting .264/.321/.458/.779 with six doubles, a triple, two homers and six RBIs. That OPS is the second-best on the Orioles behind Cedric Mullins at .918.
Over his past 10 games, Galvis has hit .394 (13-for-33) with five doubles, a triple, two homers and four RBIs.
“Freddy Galvis ran earlier today. He is participating in full batting practice, doing defensive work. Like to think that he could potentially be available off the bench tonight and be in there in the next couple days,” said Hyde.
While Mancini had three hits yesterday and is batting .375 his last 11 games, another middle of the order hitter is Ryan Mountcastle, who is batting just .184/.217/.276 with 30 strikeouts. But Hyde said he is seeing better signs from Mountcastle at the plate in recent games.
“I think the last few games, the at-bats have improved,” Hyde said. “I was really impressed with that last at-bat he had off (Aroldis) Chapman yesterday (which was a strikeout). It was Chapman throwing, 100, 102 mph and Ryan was staying right with him, was on every pitch. Fouled some tough pitches back. So I think that that shows you that his confidence is growing in the batter’s box.
“I think, when we know that Ryan is going to be right is when we see him start laying off the breaking balls away and the breaking balls for balls down. Not chasing the elevated fastball. You know, Mike Fiers tonight is an elevated fastball guy. It’s not the high velo, but he does pitch up, down. So Ryan has to push him down a little bit and get him in the strike zone. I have been encouraged by the swings the last few days. The base hit to right yesterday also. So swinging the bat much better.”
The Orioles are making a West Coast swing for the first time since 2019. This season, the club has been a winning one on the road with a record of 7-4 away from Oriole Park.
“I like road trips,” said Hyde. “For me, in a normal year, this is when teams bond and this is when guys get together away from - it’s always great to be home and you have your home routine, but a lot of times, on the road is where you know your team really kind of gets together. And the relationship is formed easier because you’re in a hotel together, you’re going to go out and eat and all those things you do on the road.
“But you know this year is a little bit different also still. We’re still not full go and we’re still following protocols. The six-hour plane ride is not super easy, but it is nice to be in a place you haven’t been in a while and looking forward to our first normal road trip in a long time.”

Spain Country Overview
Constitutional monarchy of south-western Europe that occupies most of the Iberian peninsula; it is bordered to the north by the Cantabrian Sea, France and Andorra; to the east with the Mediterranean Sea; to the south with the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean and to the west with Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean.
The British dependency on Gibraltar is situated at the southern end. The Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands in the Atlantic are two island communities. The autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla, as well as the Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera and the islands of Alhucemas and Chafarinas, also belong to the country. The length is 504,782 km2. Madrid is the capital.
The Pyrenees mountain range borders France to the north; in the extreme south, the Strait of Gibraltar separates Spain from North Africa. The most important topographic feature is the large central plain, called Meseta, with an average height of 610 m. Meseta is divided into a northern and a southern section by irregular mountain ranges (Serra de Guadarrama, Serra de Gredos, Montes de Toledo). The coastal plain is narrow and in many areas it is interrupted by mountains that go down to the sea to form rocky promontories.
The main rivers are: Douro, Minho, Tejo and Guadiana, which are born in the Spanish territory and cross the territory of Portugal to end in the Atlantic; the Guadalquivir, which is the deepest and has a large part of its navigable route; and the Ebro, in the east, which flows into the Mediterranean Sea.
The climate is Mediterranean with extreme temperatures except in the north, where rainfall is generally insufficient; physiographic differences determine important climatic differences.
Population and government
The Spanish people are a mixture of the indigenous peoples of the peninsula with those who have successively conquered their territory: the Romans, a Mediterranean people; the Suebi, the Vandals and the Visigoths, Germanic peoples, and Semitic elements, especially of Arab and Jewish origin. Gypsies form an important ethnic group.
According to LOVERISTS, the population (1995) is 40,460,055 inhabitants, with a demographic density of 80 inhab / km2. Important cities are: the capital Madrid, Barcelona, the largest port and commercial center, Valencia, Seville, Zaragoza and Bilbao.
The population is mostly Catholic, although the 1978 Constitution created a state without religious preferences, in which freedom of belief is total. There are small communities of Protestants, Jews and Muslims. Spanish is the official language; besides them, they are co-official languages, in their respective autonomous communities, Basque (euskera, pre-Indo-European language), Galician, Catalan and Valencian.
It is a parliamentary monarchy governed by the 1978 Constitution. The head of state is a hereditary monarch; executive power is in the hands of the head of government and the legislature, a bicameral Parliament.
Historically, Spain has always been an agricultural country and is still one of the largest agricultural producers in Western Europe, but the industry started to grow rapidly from the 1950s. The foreign exchange earned from tourism guarantees the balance of trade. The gross national product in 1993 was 533.986 billion dollars, which is equivalent to 14,130 dollars per capita. The country produces cereals, citruses, grapes and olives. Livestock, especially sheep and goats, is of great economic importance. Cork is the main forest resource.
Fishing is important to the economy; among the species most found on its coast, are tuna, squid, octopus, hake, sardines, anchovies, mackerel, fish and mussels. The mineral wealth is considerable. The main resources are: carbon, lignite, iron, zinc, lead, mercury, plaster and oil. Among the main articles produced, iron and steel, consumer goods, boats, refined oil and cement stand out; in addition, it is one of the largest wine producers in the world.
The monetary unit is the peseta.
The course of contemporary history traced an irregular path due to the fact that the consolidation process of the new order, from the second third of the 19th century, had collided with multiple resistances emanating from different flanks (Carlist Wars, factual powers, privileged old classes ). The interferences between the civil, military and religious powers are reflected throughout the aforementioned century in a chain of disagreements and strained relations between the Church and the State, together with intermittent military pronouncements of a conservative or progressive nature, who are the creators of government exchanges and successive constitutional comings and goings. The democratic experience of the Revolutionary Sexennium (1868-1874) failed, the oligarchic regime of the Restoration introduced Spain in the 20th century without establishing a party system,
The fragility of the institutions, together with the visible extrapeninsular setbacks that occurred in the last decades, the colonial loss of 1898, the disaster of Annual and other failures in the war in Morocco, caused a gradual militarization of the monarchy of Afonso XIII until ending in the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera (1923-1930). Military praetorianism in the twentieth century, imposing the republican democratic regime through a bloody Civil War (1936-1939), reached its peak with the dictatorship of General Franco, who remained in power for four decades until his death in November 1975.
With Franco dead, Spain experienced a period of transition from an authoritarian regime to a democratic monarchy since Franco’s corporate legality. The old Cortes self-dissolving and the monarch having mastered the new situation, began the long and complex period of political transition.
The route chosen for this purpose was reform, instead of other more radical ones (rupture, revolution), mainly with the verification of the network of interests linked to the previous regime and the efforts necessary to materialize, without violence, the encouraging promise of Juan Carlos I of be the “king of all Spaniards”. In 1976, the appointment of Adolfo Suárez as president of the government to replace Carlos Arias Navarro facilitated the realization of a reform project that, in a year and with the estimated help of Torcuato Fernández-Miranda, would lead to general elections, a forgotten practice since the republican stage.
The Constitution enacted in 1978, the result of a consensus on the plurality of political forces, defines Spain as a rule of law, democratic and social. This third attempt to democratize the country was marked by a series of problems: sectors opposed to change were scandalized by ‘provocations’ such as the legalization of the Communist Party, autonomous reform, secularization and the economic crisis. The coup attempt of February 23, 1981, was not for nothing.
The socialist victory obtained in the 1982 elections by an absolute majority symbolized national reconciliation and the normalization of public life. The leadership exercised by Felipe González, head of government for thirteen years, was committed to a declared European vocation and to the modernization of the State. After the 1996 general elections, the Popular Party formed the government after forming a coalition with the Basque and Catalan nationalists. Democratic alternation is guaranteed, but the government of José María Aznar has important challenges ahead, in particular the fulfillment of the Maastricht agreements and the convergence with Europe.

Even More Ontarians Will Be Eligible To Book Their COVID-19 Booster Dose Soon
The next round of bookings start Monday!
On Friday, the Ontario government announced an update to its COVID-19 public health measures, including the expansion of third dose eligibility.
In an announcement on December 10, the province said Ontarians who are 18 years old and older will be eligible to book a booster dose starting on January 4, 2022. But, in order to do so, their second dose should have been administered about six months before.
Earlier this month, Ontario expanded its vaccine rollout plan for third doses to include people aged 50 years old and over, and those who are at high risk of getting severely sick if they become infected.
As of Monday, December 13, at 8 a.m. those individuals will be able to schedule their booster dose appointments. Ontario reminded the public that eligible residents can do so by either going through the province's COVID-19 vaccine portal, by booking with the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre, through Indigenous-led vaccine clinics and at participating pharmacies and primary care settings.
“All Ontarians are strongly urged to follow these and existing measures and get vaccinated with a first, second or booster dose if you have not done so already. These are the layers that are protecting everyone," Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore said on Friday.
"By taking these actions, we can help to reduce the mobility of COVID-19 and its variants, protect public health and health system capacity and save lives. This is especially important as we enter the holiday season and spend more time with family and friends. We need to keep each other safe," he said.
The scientific director of Ontario's COVID-19 Science Advisory Table, Dr. Peter Juni, has recently advised Ontarians to "reconsider" their holiday plans this season amid concerns about the Omicron variant.
"Meet with your closest friends or closest family, and postpone big family gatherings to summer, full stop," Juni told Narcity in an interview.
Earlier this week, Ontario announced it would be pausing its reopening plan indefinitely, preventing higher-risk settings from having their capacity limits lifted.

First Apartment As a Married Couple
We were looking for a decent place to live as our first apartment as a married couple. We were not established enough to get the credit to build the house of our dreams. That is our goal, and part of that goal meant choosing wisely and saving money. We needed a place that was big enough for us to have family over to visit. Her parents and mine would be wanting to stop by and stay over, especially during a holiday visit. We liked what we saw at Park at Boulder Creek. We got a nice place with a private balcony. There is a nice curvy swimming pool and a fitness center on the grounds. Our apartment is big enough for us and to raise a couple of kids in. We wanted to have kids soon, but may be not immediately.
We were choosing to live well within our means yet be comfortable. The reason we wanted to not reach the end of our budget when it came to housing is because of saving for the biggest down payment we could get for building our new home. After a few months at Park at Boulder Creek, we settled into apartment living quite nicely. It was easy because it is a nice place. I have never lived in an apartment before. I went from living at home to being married and living in an apartment overnight. Even attending college was just a short commute from my parent’s home. I did not stay at a dorm. It was a little bit of a shock for both of us to move into an apartment. We both lived on the same street with our parents and went to the same college. Being together made it easy to make the transition into apartment living. I may have thought differently about it if I was moving into one alone.
