On Thursday's Pac-12 coaches conference call, Mark Helfrich said there is no timetable for naming a starting quarterback for the Ducks.
Not that anyone was expecting to hear different.
While players like Jeff Lockie, Taylor Alie, Morgan Mahalak, Travis Jonsen and Ty Griffin have been battling it out this spring, Oregon taking the time to name a starter derives from Vernon Adams' impending arrival in June.
Once fall camp begins in August, Lockie and Adams are expected to be the two front-runners for the position, and Helfrich said Oregon might not announce a winner until close to game time.
"I think ideally you are making that decision a week and a half before the first game," Helfrich said. "The way you ramp up and build through fall camp, we are installing and doing different things. You want to put each of them in the best position to compete and play to their strengths. They you have a week and a half to prepare for that first game, that would be an ideal situation."
Helfrich has long said that Lockie has looked strong this spring. A two-year backup to the departed Heisman-winning Marcus Mariota, Lockie's been in the system for three years, though has minimal on-field experience. The rest of the candidates are made up of a walk-on (Alie), redshirt freshman (Mahalak), true freshmen (Jonsen) and a redshirt sophomore in Griffin.
Adams is a dual-threat quarterback who torched the Football Championship Subdivision the last three years at Eastern Washington.
All, except for Adams, will be competing in Saturday's spring game, with Lockie and Mahalak on one side and Jonsen, Griffin and Alie on the other. Adams will be on the sidelines watching.
Whoever plays best on Saturday may earn some points with the coaches, but it's going to be a long time before there's any sort of official closure to Oregon's first quarterback battle in three years.
" Jeff (Lockie) has certainly had the upper hand as the guy that is the most experienced of the bunch and he's done a good job stepping up and injecting himself as a leader," Helfrich said. "He is confident in how he goes about his business. The most important part of being a leader is a response and I think the guys around him on offense and defense believe in him. Everybody else is competing. Taylor has done a tremendous job, he's the next most experienced guy. The other guys area all battling and competing. We will be in decision-making mode a long time from now."

04/30/2010. Remarks by Graeme Mills: "I used to load fertiliser into this Cresco about 3 years prior to this photo. This Cresco was the first to Andy Stevenson's Farmers Air and it really put the Cresco on the map as far as a new era in topdressing aircraft is concerned. It was powered by a 600 shp Lycoming LTP-101 turbine.
After retirement from topdressing it was used for skydiving at Taupo and during this time was upgraded to a Pratt & Whitney PT6 turbine engine. It is now used for Aerial Survey work by Kiwi Air which is managed by Andy's son, Guy Stevenson, out of Taupo and has returned to New Zealand after an extensive patrol of Australia, from July 2008 till July 2009."

Russia will soon have 50 ’14-storey high’ Satan-2 nukes capable of reducing Western enemies into ‘radioactive craters’, Putin’s space agency chief says in new threat
- Dmitry Rogozin, head of Roscosmos, issued fresh nuclear threat to the West
- 50 new Sarmat-2 nuclear missiles will be deployed by the autumn, he said
- Attack will reduce any enemies to a ‘radioactive crater’, Rogozin proclaimed
- ‘[I] advise the aggressors to talk more politely with Russia,’ he added
Russia will soon have 50 brand new nuclear missiles capable of reducing all enemies to a nuclear crater, the head of the country’s space agency has warned.
Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Roscosmos and a staunch Putin ally, said dozens of new Sarmat-2 missiles – measuring 14 storeys tall and weighing 208 tons – will be deployed by autumn to menace Russia’s enemies.
‘It remains only to advise the aggressors to talk more politely with Russia,’ he said.
As a demonstration of Sarmat’s power, he showed off footage of a 26ft deep and 66ft wide hole caused by one of the missiles when fired without a warhead.
Russia will soon possess 50 Sarmat-2 nuclear missiles capable of turning enemies into a radioactive crater, head of space agency Roscosmos has warned (pictured, a crater made by a Sarmat missile launched without a nuclear warhead)
Dmitry Rogozin highlighted footage of a 26ft deep and 66ft wide crater caused by a Sarmat missile launched without a nuclear warhead (pictured) to illustrate his latest threat
He said: ‘With a nuclear charge, such a crater at an enemy site will be…well, very large and very deep – and radioactive.
‘And not just one, but exactly as many as the most powerful nuclear missile in the world will deliver to the territory of a fierce enemy.
‘And we will soon have almost 50 such Sarmats [the missile is known in the West as Satan-2] on combat duty.
‘It remains only to advise the aggressors to talk more politely with Russia.’
Rogozin, a former deputy prime minister and Putin super-loyalist, has made several recent threats of nuclear strikes against the West involving Satan-2.
For his latest threat, he used footage from Russian TV channel Zvezda, run by the Defence Ministry.
The Satan-2 missile is the height of a 14-storey tower block and weighs 208 tons, say the Russians.
The intercontinental ballistic missile has a range of 11,200 miles and can strike at targets at 15,880mph after flying in outer space or via the north or south poles.
Zvezda TV journalist Alexander Kursky said at the Kura military test site on the Kamchatka peninsula: ‘This crater left by a Sarmat test launch just strikes my imagination.
‘No warhead, but the depth is 8 metres (26ft) and diameter 20 metres (66ft).’
Rogozin – who is in charge of Russia’s part in the International Space Station – last week boasted to schoolchildren and students that Satan-2 could demolish ‘half the coast of a continent’ of a Western enemy ‘which we may not like due to its aggressive policy’.
Two weeks ago Rogozin threatened to expunge Ukraine from the map and destroy the West in half an hour.
‘NATO is waging a war against us,’ he said at the time. ‘They didn’t announce it, but that doesn’t change anything. Now it’s obvious to everyone.’
The 58-year-old Putin crony said: ‘In a nuclear war, NATO countries will be destroyed by us in half an hour.
‘But we must not allow it, because the consequences of the exchange of nuclear strikes will affect the state of our Earth.
Sarmat-2 is currently being produced by Russia and will be deployed in the Siberia region by autumn, where it will be capable of ranging most of the planet (pictured, a Yars missile currently deployed in the same region)
Russian President Vladimir Putin (L) speaks with Roscosmos Director Dmitry Rogozin during a meeting at the airport of Blagoveshensk on April 12, 2022
‘Therefore, we will have to defeat this economically and militarily more powerful enemy with conventional armed means.’
He urged Putin to go further to win the war – with
‘mobilisation of the state economy.’
Industry must be forced to serve military objectives, he said.
‘This must be done immediately and quickly,’ he said.
Using a word that Putin has banned in relation to Ukraine – ‘war’ – he said: ‘This is a war for the truth – and the right of Russia to exist as a single and independent state.’
He insisted: ‘The very existence of a Ukraine separate from Russia will inevitably turn it into anti-Russia and a springboard of the West for aggression against our people.
‘That is why what we call a Special Military Operation goes far beyond its original meaning and geography.’

After revealing some incriminating details about how his career with South Africa ended, Faf du Plessis has now dropped a few bombshells. He has now revealed his ‘jealousy’ for his long-time friend, AB de Villiers. Notably, the duo started playing together in Pretoria during their childhood days. In 2011, Du Plessis made his debut for the Proteas and joined his long-time mate in the national.
Also, they played together in the ODI World Cup that year. Meanwhile, in an interview, he said that the book is about his failures rather than success which mostly happens with other auto-biographies. The right-hander added that the book isn’t about the game but about relationships, leadership, struggles, and so on.
“My story is about failure,” Du Plessis tells the BBC. “I didn’t want to write a cricket book. I wouldn’t have started if that was the aim.
“I wanted to write a book about leadership, about relationships, about struggle. That’s what this is about. I wanted to create something that people would be able to relate to.
“They might see me as an elite athlete and cricket captain, but I was a person who was filled with self-doubt and insecurity. And that’s OK.
“I wanted to give people things they could then say, ‘I know what that feels like’. I hope this connects with people even if they aren’t cricket fans.”
During the conversation, the former Chennai player in the Indian T20 League said that he became ‘jealous’ of De Villiers.
On twin-ball tampering offenses, Faf du Plessis says ‘He is not perfect
While the World Cricket remembers the ball-tampering offense by Australia in 2018, not many remember the Pretoria player did the same twice before this. For the unversed, he was charged with the offense in 2013 and 2016.
“I’m not perfect,” he says. “I’ve never claimed to be. I’ve never been the most talented player.
“Yes, I have talent, but it’s hard work and mental toughness that got me to where I am. I like to think that I’ve been able to control myself and take myself to places that went beyond my natural talent.”

W. Axl Rose (b. 1985, Basingstoke, UK) is the frontman of popular pop/rock combo The Guns And Also The Roses. Prior to forming the band, Rose was a child actor, whose most notable role was playing ‘Data’ in The Goonies. The Guns And Also The Roses have sold in excess of many records - more than Def Leppard, but less than AC/DC.
Rose has previously dated Nicole Kidman, Sarah Ferguson, Kirsten Dunst and Bret Michaels.
Rose is also known for technological innovations. In 1991, he patented a new form of lycra material exclusively for rock stars in which the wearer creates the illusion of possessing an engorged member. The following year Rose put motorcycle wheels on a piano and rode it from California to the other side of California to raise awareness about himself. In 1996 he invented tartan, which remains popular in Scotland and several bars in New York to this day.
His current whereabouts are unknown.

From the top tipples in Europe, to the finest wines worldwide, we have explored the best wine destinations in the world, not to be missed by any budding wine connoisseur…
Seeing soft rolling hills dappled in a gently rising mist are how most mornings begin in the emerald-green region of Tuscany. One of Europe’s best-known wine destinations, the Chianti wine-producing region is postcard-perfect, with rolling olive groves, rustic stone farmhouses and Renaissance villas intertwined in the region’s landscapes. Wine-tasting is simply unmissable here, with vintners serving the finest Pinot Noir and Sauvingon Blanc in undeniably beautiful settings. Round off your Tuscan trip with a taste of the freshly grown produce – choose to sit back and indulge in an authentic Italian taverna, or immerse yourself with a cookery lesson before sampling your crafted cuisine.
Douro Valley, Portugal
The UNESCO World Heritage-listed Douro Valley is one of the world’s oldest distinguished wine destinations. Famous for producing sweet-tasting Port, the Portuguese valley is abundant with 18th and 19th-century Quintas (wine estates) and sprawling green vineyards. Savour the delicate flavours of a wine-tasting session with vintage varieties, or explore the landscape’s seemingly endless vineyards, where you may have the chance to join the grape harvest if your visit is well timed. When you aren’t sampling a tipple, admire the region from the comfort of a boat or train. The glistening Douro River flows through the heart of the valleys, with boat trips lasting from hours to days, while the 130-year-old railway route provides staggering vistas from every angle.
Napa Valley, California
Napa Valley has all of the charming characteristics you may expect of a world-famous wine region: hillside château wineries, perfectly lined vines and sloping green hillsides, with the added attraction of renowned restaurants and the famous Napa Valley Wine Train, which transports visitors on a 36-mile round-trip from Downtown Napa to St. Helena. From classic Cabernet Sauvignon to the perfect Pinot Noir, when you aren’t tasting fine wines at one of Napa Valley’s 400-plus wine estates, indulge in the region’s gourmet culture, with artisan bakeries, rustic cafés and Michelin-starred culinary institutions dotted between the sun-drenched scenery.
Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand
After being devasted by an earthquake in 1931, the Hawke’s Bay region has rebuilt itself as New Zealand’s Art Deco capital, but the landmark buildings aren’t the only attraction. A province famous for producing divine red wines, along with stunning Chardonnays, travellers flock to the orchards, vineyards and cellar doors for a taste of New Zealand’s internationally renowned wines. With abundant flat roads and scenery to take your breath away, cycling tours are a popular way to visit the region’s wineries, with plentiful chances to pop into a local artisan café for a light lunch along the way.
Franschhoek, South Africa
Located only a short drive from Cape Town, yet a world away from the buzz of the city, the pretty town of Franschhoek – which translates to ‘French Corner’ – is a must-stop destination for oenophiles visiting the Cape. While you may be happy to sip your way around the region’s wineries, perhaps by boarding the iconic Franschhoek Wine Tram, make sure to spare a moment to visit the gardens of Babylonstoren. The eight acres of formal gardens provide an oasis of calm – stroll from the peaceful lotus ponds, beneath the apple and pear trees, through the zesty citrus block and into the Greenhouse, a contemporary restaurant serving fresh, picnic-style cuisine and refreshing, ice-cold beverages.

Are you currently thinking about applying for a title loan? Well, you may be wondering about the answer to the question: can title loans hurt your credit? This is an important question to ask as your credit report greatly impacts each area of your life. You, also, might be particularly concerned with this aspect since you are taking out a title loan rather than a more traditional loan because of your less-than-perfect credit score.

Having been in the title loan business for nearly 25 years, we have seen it all and can pass on all of our acquired knowledge on to you.

However, here at TFC Title Loans, we see you as more than a mere number! And, we want to help you reach a brighter financial future. This is so that you and your family can prosper!

However, if you have already concluded that you would like to obtain an auto title loan with TFC Title Loans, then feel free to fill out our quick and easy online application today!
Your credit score is calculated by five separate parts of your credit report. The break down is as follows: thirty-five percent is made up of your payment history, thirty percent is your credit utilization, fifteen percent is the length of your history, ten percent is your credit mix, and another ten percent is your new credit. When you get a title loan, you will have the greatest impact on your payment history at thirty-five percent.
Wondering can title loans hurt your credit score? By making the regularly scheduled monthly payments on your title loan on time, in line with the terms and conditions set up with your lender, your payment history in your credit report calculation will start to significantly improve over time. The payment history makes up the largest chunk of your score’s calculation. This means that your credit score will start to get higher as you continue to meet the payments every month.

Plant Health and Pest Control
Pests control is important to maintain the strength and vitality of your precious plants. Find out about the potential pests that can cause problems here.
Understanding the potential problems of these little critters and the steps that can be taken to prevent an attack on your plants is important for a successful yield. Spider mites are probable the worst offender and info can be found here.
Some basic steps can help your plant health as follows :
- Have a set of ‘indoor’ clothes for use when tending to your indoor plants. This way, the critters can’t hijack a lift on your outdoor shirt into your grow area.
- Put a filter over your inlet fan if appropriate. Simply doing a ‘MacGyver‘ and taping some tights over the inlet can do the trick!
- Keep your room clean!
- Prevention is better than cure – Treat your plants with Plant Vitality Plus by BAC which will keep them safe from Spider Mites and Thrips.
- Hang fresh yellow sticky traps regularly. You’ll be able to determine what bugs you have by analysing the trap and stop the spread of Fungus Knats.
- Use a microscope to look for bugs on the upside and underside of your plant
- Keep a careful watch on your plants. A dying leaf maybe on it’s way out due to the plants normal cycle, a deficiency, fungus or because of bugs!


Drones are great fun and easy to fly, but as the small airborne craft have become increasingly popular, so has the number of incidents and near misses. It's easy enough to dismiss the issues as someone else's problem and unlikely to happen to you, but if you don't regularly maintain your drone then it's surprising how quickly you could find yourself in trouble.
Regular checks for damage and general maintenance are as essential as charging the batteries, for example a chipped propeller can lead to an uneven or uncontrollable flight.
Equally, ensuring you understand the crafts' options such as the 'return to home' feature will help ensure that if things do go wrong then you'll still be able to recover your drone safely. Here are a few tips, checks and options that you should carry out on a regular basis.
1. Power up
When your new drone arrives you'll notice that the battery will be at about 40% charge. The reason is that this percent has been found to be the best capacity for storage, so if you know that you're going to store your drone for a while then give your batteries a charge and then run them to around 40% before storing.
LiPo (lithium polymer) rechargable batteries are notoriously fickle and do need to be looked after, on first charging from new you should ensure that they are charged at normal speed without using the fast charge settings. Then after the first few flights only run the battery to around 50% discharge before recharging.
2. Drone maintenance
The small brushless motors are exceptionally powerful and although the footage from the latest drones such as the 3DR SOLO look smooth, remove the gimbal and you'll instantly see the effects of the motors' vibration.
This vibration doesn't just affect video quality. Over time the vibrations will also work loose the small screws and bolts that hold the drone together. Before each flight it's worth quickly checking all screws are present as well as giving the drone a once over for missing feet, cracks and any signs of damage.
3. Propeller Safety
The propellers are one of the most important parts of the drone and should be checked every flight as damage isn't always initially apparent. Make sure that there are no cracks, chips or dirt anywhere on the blades, if there is dispose of the propeller and order some more.
Cracks and chips are the most obvious signs of damage but also check for warping as this will equally affect flight. After a session make sure you wipe the propellers clean and if possible re-box or place them in a case where they will be properly protected.
4. Get back home safely
Return to Home (RTH) is one of the most important features the drone has, enabling it to fly back to a set point with the touch of a button if you get into trouble. Most drones such as the 3DR SOLO will set this point as the drone takes off, but it is often possible to set this point manually.
If you do lose sight of the drone, conditions suddenly change, or you lose control, then you can hit the RTH button and the drone will return. This feature also kicks in if the battery dips below the minimum safety level.
5. Set up warnings
One of the most common problems with flying drones is battery life as these small radio controlled craft have a huge current draw. This means that even with the latest LiPo cells you can only expect to get a maximum of 30 minutes flight, although more realistically this is usually between 15 and 20 minutes.
Most drones will set a minimum battery level warning that will alert you when the battery is getting low, but if you can set this manually then 25% is a good figure. Drones such as the 3DR SOLO set 10% as the critical level at which point the drone will automatically return to home to avoid being lost or damaged.
6. Set limits
GPS and countless other sensors within the drones make them incredibly easy to fly, even if you've never flown before. However, the confidence that these sensors give can lure you into a false sense of security and if GPS is lost then the drone will quickly revert to manual mode.
This makes the craft far more difficult to control especially for new pilots so it's a good idea when starting out to set height and distance limits until you feel confident. These can be set manually within the mobile app or there is usually a beginner mode that will set these automatically.
7. Set the speed
A drone unleashed can reach speeds above 40 miles an hour without to much effort, and at these speeds it doesn't matter how many auto features your drone has you'll still need the skill to control and stop the drone.
One of the most useful adjustments for many drone pilots is the speed setting and this is usually split into two. The first setting will alter the physical speed of the drone as you fly back and forth, the other is the panning speed. This should be increased if you need to turn sharply, although if you're using your drone to film then it's usually best to keep this at the slowest setting.
8. Visual contact
It's advised that you never fly the drone out of visual sight, however even when in sight it can often be difficult to ascertain exactly in what direction the drone is flying. Having a camera on board isn't just a good for filming but is also an essential part of flight safely.
On those occasions when you do lose all sense of depth perception, then a quick check of the live view from the drone to your mobile device is an easy way to re engage with the drone and make sure that it is flying in the correct direction.
9. Keep software up to date
All drones are constantly being updated with new advanced features, and these updates are highlighted automatically when you switch on and connect to your mobile app. Before setting out always give yourself enough time to check for updates and get them installed and tested.
You'll often find that an update will be available for the drone, handset and app at the same time and that these will all need to be updated or you'll find that certain features will be locked - or in the worst case scenario your drone will be grounded.
10. Pay attention to app safety warnings
A relatively recent addition to almost all apps is the safety warning section, and this should appear on the mobile app as soon as it is switched on. This will show you information about the area that you're in and will show your exact location on a map.
This map will also highlight whether you're about to fly in restricted air space or by an airport. For some locations you'll see a highlighted warning that will supply more details about the area including direct telephone numbers to the local airport that you can phone to make sure that the location you've selected is safe.
If you've own a drone and would like to know more about how and where you can fly then check out the Fly ICARUS course run by the guys at Aerial Motion Pictures. http://www.flyicarus.co.uk/
The course outlines everything you need to know about flying your drone for recreational use. You'll discover where it's safe to fly and the team leading the course will demonstrate a variety of best practices and show you how to keep your drone and equipment in the best flight ready condition.
If you're looking to fly a drone for commercial use then you'll need a Permission for Aerial Work (pfaw) certificate or equivalent licence for your territory. For more details on courses check outhttp://www.aerialmotionpictures.co.uk/ and the ICARUS course.

September 5th, 2020The tail of three dogs
We’d gone into Woodend one Saturday to shop. We’d been talking about finding a companion for our dog Gizmo – you know; a pet, for our dog. We wandered into the pet store and there she was: bright, energetic and friendly – just what you want from a sales clerk. The puppy was fine too. We did no research, asked no questions, just said, “we’ll have her” (the puppy).
Turns out her breed tends to be smart and stubborn, which makes them difficult to train – a month of puppy school in Newstead confirmed this to be true.
Carol and I have form in this spur-of-the moment pet buying.
In 2001 we’d moved into our home in Wheatsheaf, making the transition from holiday-house owners to full-time residents.
That same year we attended the Bendigo Heritage Wine Festival, in which local winemakers set up inside some of the city’s beautiful old buildings and visitors walk through the streets enjoying the delights of the region. Passing Clouds winery had their tasting in one of the old trams as it rattled around the town – fantastic!
There were four of us and we’d become well acquainted with the region’s wines. While walking to our next destination, we stopped to look in the window of a pet shop – see the pattern emerging?
The puppy in the front window looked as if he’d been groomed using fingernail clippers. He had gooey eyes, upright ears and a crooked face. He captured our hearts in an instant, although we resisted his charms and continued our wine tasting.
But we didn’t forget him. One of our wine-tasting friends pestered us about him the remainder of the day and well into the night. So, the next morning, we drove back to Bendigo and bought the dog.
He hadn’t been well cared for in the pet shop. Apart from the miserable grooming, he hadn’t been fed properly. He was tiny, sitting easily in the cupped palms of two hands. His teeth were bad and his eyes were infected. But he had a magical personality and, with those funny ears, we immediately knew his name was Gizmo, from a character in the Gremlins movie.
At the time, Carol and I were commuting to Melbourne, via V/Line from Kyneton, for work, five days a week, and we felt bad leaving Gizmo home alone for that many hours a day. Which is where Scout enters the story.
We cleaned up Gizmo and put him on a healthy diet – he ate like a pig but never grew much bigger than a mid-size chihuahua. He was well-mannered, had a lion’s heart, but was frail. Scout was a Jack Russell through and through: strong, fast, wiry, stubborn; but Gizmo ruled her pack, and they made a great team.
Over the years, Emma Tomkins from Hepburn Veterinary Clinic did a superb job helping us keep Gizmo happy, but he wasn’t a robust dog and in 2016 we lost him; he was in terrible pain from pancreatitis. Even now, I am crying as I type this, remembering how Carol held him in her arms while Emma gently administered the final injection.
Scout seemed to be in shock without him for a while but we tried to compensate with daily walks around the track at the Glenlyon recreation reserve.
In 2018 we decided to move back to California, after more than 30 years in Australia. My parents are quite old now, and it’s time for me to step up and be here for them.
Scout flew here in a large, custom-built crate, and soon settled into her new life, where the dogs have funny accents, pronouncing the hard “R” in bark.
We’ve been here more than two years. Scout is 17 and has slowed considerably. Her eyesight is poor – she has cataracts – and her hearing is greatly diminished. She sleeps 18 hours a day. Two weeks ago she had a sick spell and had trouble standing, but she came good. Then, last week, she was again sick and shaking, and seemed to be having some pain.
We’ve been fortunate to find a good vet here, so we took Scout to see her – her name is Nina. We were prepared for this to be Scout’s time. But Nina examined Scout, caressed and cuddled her, and declared that her heart and lungs remain strong – she comes from good Aussie stock, after all. Nina devised a strict diet for Scout and sent her home.
So now Scout has deposited a tidy package on the lawn and is romping around the yard – it always makes her feel good to leave one of these fragrant piles. Last year we bought a puppy for Scout – her name is Joey, because she looked like a baby kangaroo when we first brought her home. She and Scout play, groom each others’ ears, and are great mates.
Thus, life goes on, in California.

This article presents a high-performance thermal solution to extend the output current capability of eGaN-based converters.
eGaN FETs and ICs enable very high-density power converter design, owing to their compact size, ultra-fast switching, and low on-resistance. The limiting factor for output power in most high-density converters is junction temperature, which prompts the need for more effective thermal design. The chip-scale packaging of eGaN FETs and ICs offer six-sided cooling, with effective heat extraction from the bottom, top, and sides of the die. This article presents a high-performance thermal solution to extend the output current capability of eGaN-based converters.
Thermal solution for six-sided cooling
The thermal solution depicted in Figure 1 enables excellent heat extraction from chip-scale eGaN FETs, as previously demonstrated in the papers in References 1 and 2.
A heatsink is mechanically attached to the board using screws and a plastic shim, enclosing an area filled with electrically isolating thermal interface material (TIM). The TIM conducts heat directly from the top and sides of the FET to the heatsink. This provides the most effective thermal path, owing to the very low Rθ,jc of eGaN FETs and ICs. Simultaneously, the FETs conduct heat to the PCB copper through the solder bumps, which is also conducted to the heatsink through the TIM. Additional heat is dissipated through convection on the bottom side of the PCB. The height of the shims and thickness of the thermal pad are carefully selected to prevent excessive mechanical stress on the eGaN FETs. The thickness of TIM between the heatsink and FETs should be kept to a minimum to provide the lowest thermal resistance. However, the maximum heights of all components within the shim-enclosed must be considered when selecting the shim thickness, including the FETs, capacitors, and gate driver. Height tolerance and die tilt may both be important factors in this analysis.
The TIM can be composed of a soft thermal pad (e.g., t-Global TG-X), a liquid gap filler (e.g., Bergquist GF4000), or a combination of both. The liquid gap filler alone can be used as the TIM, thereby applying near zero compression force to the FETs, however a thermal pad typically has superior thermal conductivity. Similarly, the thermal pad can be used without the liquid gap filler, but this option does not offer heat conduction from the sides of the FET or the PCB to the heatsink. The thermal solution in Figure 1 shows how both TIMs can be implemented to achieve the most effective thermal path while also minimizing mechanical stress on the FETs.
Design example: High-density 48 V to 12 V conversion using the EPC2045 eGaN FET
The proposed thermal solution was experimentally demonstrated using the design example shown in Figure 2, which is similar to the EPC9205 GaN power module. This high-density buck converter uses the 100 V EPC2045 eGaN FET to achieve a peak efficiency of 96.4%, when converting 48 V to 12 V at a switching frequency of 700 kHz, and can output up to 12 A with less than 100°C rise in junction temperature.
Figure 2 presents a step-by-step guide used to assemble this thermal design:
The thermal equivalent circuit shown in Figure 3 and current capability are evaluated using the methodology presented in the Reference 2 paper, demonstrating a 50% reduction in the junction- to-ambient thermal resistance (Rθ,ja) of each FET when the thermal solution was implemented. However, thermal coupling between the two FETs and output filter inductor must also be considered in this high-density design. Figure 4 shows the current handling capability of the converter before and after the thermal solution is implemented. The current-handling capability is increased by 60% with the heatsink.
Heatsink improvement in automotive systems
A similar methodology is applied to a 48 V to 12 V converter using the EPC2206 AEC-qualified 80 V eGaN FET to demonstrate that this thermal solution can also be applied to higher-power board designs, with a larger die and power stage. In this example, the maximum allowable temperature rise is 60°C, based on the more extreme environmental conditions of an automotive application. The EPC9034 demo board was used for evaluation, with the output inductor located off-board. Adding a heatsink decreases each FET’s Rθ,ja by 60%, effectively doubling the output current capability from 25 A to 50 A as shown in Figure 5. Preliminary results indicate that heatsink benefit increases with converter size. Only the soft thermal pad is used in this example. Further improvement is possible with the addition of the liquid gap filler.
The thermal limit of a high-density converter built using eGaN FETs can be significantly improved by attaching a heatsink and utilizing the six-sided cooling offered by the chip-scale package. This article has shown that 60-100% higher output power can be achieved without increasing the footprint of the power stage, while also limiting mechanical stress on the FETs during and after assembly. Combined with the inherent efficiency benefits of eGaN FETs, this thermal performance improvement is one more way that GaN pushes a system’s performance beyond the capabilities of silicon.

Having been selected for the England U19 Test Squad to play Sri Lanka, George Panayi took the new ball and led the attack with Essex’s Aaron Beard last week in the first test at Fenners, Cambridge University. England posted 500 for 9 declared in the first innings. Largely due to big hundred’s by Worcestershire’s Ollie Westbury (196) and Gloucestershire’s George Bartlett (131).
In Sri Lanka’s first innings reply of 335 all out, Panayi returned figures of 15-2-59-1 dislodging opener Pathum Nissanka for 5. Following on Sri Lanka batted for the remainder of the game – Panayi taking two out of the three second innings wickets, those of captain Charith Asalanka caught behind for 70 and Avishka Fernando, LBW for 12. The second test commences this Wednesday 3rd August at The County Ground, Northampton.
Warwickshire’s Liam Banks was also recognised for his recent form the week before the first U19 test, by being selected for an ECB U19 Invitational XI to take on the Sri Lankan tourists at Loughborough University. Liam scored 42 and 35 in the first and second innings respectively as the two day game petered out into a draw.

The countdown to Botswana’s biggest music and cultural festival has begun. Music and arts lovers are waiting in anticipation as the date for the Gaborone International Music and Culture week (GIMC) draws near. The GIMC will put Gaborone on par with other cities like Cape Town, Harare and Mbabane who regularly host internationally renowned music, arts and culture festivals of their own.
The weeklong GIMC, which will run from 25 ÔÇô 31 August, will feature various events like poetry night, choral music, culture night, jazz festival and an international music show. The event organiser, Thapelo Pabalinga said he came up with the idea after realising that Botswana does not have an event that showcases and celebrates the diverse people and talents that exist in our country.
“Gaborone is made up of people from different backgrounds, with different tastes and interests. We wanted to put together an event that will cater for all these people by bringing various small events under one massive festival. That’s why the GIMC week will feature a diversity of events that will leave revellers spoilt for choice. I guarantee you that everyone will find something in our line up that speaks to him or her,” he said.
Various local and international artists are due to perform at the inaugural GIMC, which will then become an annual event. Pabalinga said the aim is to make GIMC an international arts and culture festival that will attract tourists from all over the world. To kick start the week long festivities, popular poet TJ Dema will share the stage with Mandisa Mabuthoe, Poet Circle and Motsepe on 27 August at Botswana Craft. TJ Dema needs no introduction in the world of poetry. Her journey as a poet dates back to the 90s and today she is an internationally renowned award winning artist who has performed in countries like Germany, Zimbabwe, India, USA, Scotland and France. She participated in Lancaster University’s Crossing Borders program and later mentored the all-female team of national champions for the British Council’s seven country Power in the Voice initiative.
For her work within Botswana’s literary community she was named an Arise Magazine African Changemaker (2013) and a St Louis Top 40 under 40 catalyst (2014). So, fans of ‘the word’ will definitely enjoy TJ Dema’s performance. The poetry night will be followed by a night of melodious song and dance on 28 August at Mantlwaneng Theatre (Westwood School) where local chorale giants like the award winning Gaborone Youth Singers, Andante, KTM Choir and Sedibeng will perform. Sedibeng are well known for their diverse and exciting performances which range from chorale to classical. They are the first local choir to make musicals a part of their performances.
With the diversity in sound and performance of the choirs, music lovers are definitely in for a thrill. Tickets for the two shows are available from Webtickets at Riverwalk, at P200 for chorale night and P100 for poetry night. For corporate tickets, enquiries can be made at Leapfrog on 3923381.

Prior this month, only a couple of days in the wake of revealing its new Surface Laptop, Microsoft declared arrangements to have an occasion in Shanghai, China on May 23, where it said it “will prove the world what’s next”.
The organisation had been generally anticipated that would report its new Surface Pro 5 at that occasion, supplanting the Surface Pro 4, which is now more than the year and a half old. Late reports proposed that the new tablet would be an unassuming advancement of its ancestor, with just a modest bunch of minor changes.
Today, serial leakster Evan Blass (also called @evleaks) distributed pictures on VentureBeat indicating to prove the gadget with the new Surface Arc Mouse, which Microsoft uncovered nearby the Surface Laptop. You’ll presumably have an extreme time recognising the contrasts between the new tablet and the Pro 4, however.
In fact, the new Windows 10 tablet shows up for all indistinguishable to the current gadget, including the same 3.5mm earphone jack, Mini DisplayPort and USB Type-A port as the Pro 4, with no new-era USB-C ports. Microsoft likewise rejected USB-C ports from the Surface Laptop, in spite of having tried models with two of those ports worked in.
Evan – who has a magnificent notoriety with regards to uncovering gadgets before they’re formally reported – alluded to the new model as the ‘Surface Pro 4 invigorate’, yet in a different tweet, he additionally uncovered that the gadget won’t be alluded to by that name, nor will it be known as the Surface Pro 5. Rather, it seems that Microsoft will discharge the new tablet as the ‘Surface Pro’ – an indistinguishable name from its Windows 8 Pro machine that went marked down in February 2013.
While the gadget may not vary much remotely from its antecedent, it will highlight some updated specs, including Intel’s most recent seventh-era Kaby Lake processors. As per Evan, the new Surface Pro tablet will have new Pen and Type Cover shading choices as well, which are said to be “comparable – yet not indistinguishable – to the as of late propelled Surface Laptop’s palette”:
Microsoft is not anticipated that would declare another Surface Book at the May 23 occasion; the organisation just discharged its invigorated Surface Book with Performance Base models in 13 new markets fourteen days back, after revealing them in October.

Getting started with photography is daunting. Anything that helps you get great results without needing to reinvent the wheel is something every photographer would be interested in. These free Lightroom presets are my contribution to that.
Spend more time shooting and less time getting bogged down in how a camera works. One day, you’ll understand that part of photography. The last thing you want to do when you first get inspired to start photography is sitting at a computer, editing or learning from YouTube tutorials. For now, stay inspired by shooting more and editing less.
How to download the free Lightroom presets
The rules are simple. Each time I release a new Lightroom preset, I make it available for download absolutely free over on the My Best Lightroom Presets website. After a short period of time, the preset will still be available for $3.
Check out all of the other Lightroom presets that have been offered for free in the past.
Why should you use these Lightroom presets
All of the free Lightroom presets which you can download are designed to speed up your workflow. Each has been tested on varied images to maximise their application and suitability to the different styles of photography.
Photographers have a range of opinions on how to edit photos. Using any Lightroom presets, no matter how high quality it is, will give you a single result. I believe that Lightroom presets should be varied applications, and should be a solid starting point for your editing.
As a beginner, you might find the style or color tones that the Lightroom preset gives you satisfactory and better than you could edit yourself. When you start photography, the options in Adobe Lightroom can be overwhelming. The looks presets created can be a great starting point for learning what settings affect what looks on the image.
Professional photographers might prefer to use the Adobe Lightroom presets like I use them – a great starting point for adapting the preset to your own artistic style. You might even like to create new presets for Lightroom after you’ve applied the free Lightroom presets to your photos to save yourself even more time later on.
Regardless of whether you’re a beginner or professional, by using these free presets it reduces the effort involved in manual editing.
How do the presets work with photo editing?
All Lightroom presets, like any post-processing in Adobe Lightroom, is non-destructive. That means that any settings you apply to your image are not directly changing the original image located on your harddrive. If you change the exposure of an image, it doesn’t change the original photo you imported into Lightroom. The presets for Lightroom are all non-destructive.
A single click will transform your image by applying all of the settings. Post-processing is a really important part of the creative process when it comes to photography, so you should be adventurous with the results you get and tweak the settings further after applying the preset. You never know what you’ll learn about post-processing by experimenting! If you’re not adventurous, you can easily just apply the preset and work on learning about editing images later. The preset application with a single click will do it all for you.
Which versions of Lightroom do the free presets work in?
I design my Lightroom presets in Adobe Lightroom Classic CC. They are all .xmp files, and work in both Adobe Lightroom Classic CC, Adobe Lightroom CC and Lightroom for mobile.
How do I install Lightroom presets?
Installing the Lightroom presets is simple. Full instructions with screenshots are found here, but takes less than 30 seconds to install! If you’d like tips on how to manage your existing Lightroom presets, there’s lots of information available, too.
Can I download Lightroom preset packs?
Yes! There are various bundles that will pair various presets with other presets that compliment each other in some way. Check out the Lightroom preset packs.
What is Adobe Lightroom?
Adobe Lightroom CC is an image editing application available on both Windows and Mac. Adobe Lightroom is also available on iOS and the Google Play Store.
Lightroom is available as part of the wider Adobe Creative Cloud, but also as part of the Photography Package where it is paired with Adobe Photoshop. I have exclusively used Lightroom throughout my whole photography journey and have never needed to move to a different application. Lightroom is the most common image editing application within the industry. For that reason alone, I develop Lightroom presets for it exclusively.

In variable climates, the program could include things like a reversing valve that switches from heating in Winter season to cooling in summertime. By reversing the move of refrigerant, the warmth pump refrigeration cycle is altered from cooling to heating or vice versa.
You can be suggested of The problem along with recommended possibilities to proper it, which can incorporate a program substitute In the event your unit is aged or appreciably ruined. If you choose to swap the system, the diagnostic fee are going to be credited towards your substitute order.
Innovation in air con technologies continues, with much current emphasis put on Electrical power effectiveness. Creation of the electrical energy utilized to function air conditioners has an environmental effects, including the release of greenhouse gases.

HyScale is making its app delivery automation tool open-source for development teams looking to deploy to Kubernetes.
The open-source move underlines HyScale’s commitment to the app development community that wants to adopt Kubernetes but has to follow a script-heavy, error-prone deployment process.
HyScale simplifies deploying to k8s by providing a service-centric spec, and getting the app URL in return, saving time and effort in dev-testing cycles before taking it to production.
“Developer experiences with k8s are quite complex; there is a clear need for app-centric Kubernetes abstraction and well-defined automation for clear handoff between the dev teams and IT,” said Anoop Balakuntalam, head of HyScale. “With HyScale, developers can now easily deploy their apps to k8s without having to navigate through the associated complexities or write and maintain voluminous manifests and scripts.”
Kubernetes continues to witness rapid acceptance across industry verticals for improved cost economics, scalability, and portability of deployments across multiple cloud environments.
However, in terms of actual adoption, typical app development teams face steep learning curves, extensive and complex maintenance and ambiguity in ownership, all resulting in slower time to market.
HyScale brings to life the belief that all complexity around app deployments can eventually be eliminated and automated.
HyScale is an initiative of Pramati Prism Inc., the Mountain View-based startup accelerator arm of Pramati Technologies. HyScale is also a member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).For more information about this news, visit www.hyscale.io.

Commuting - Squeeking Brooks B17 Standard
Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

I have a Brooks B17 Standard saddle that is squeeking in the front. Any ideas on what to do?
Do I try some lube in that area, or tighten the bolt a little?
Yeah, if it's the tightening mechanism that's squeaking, grease or a little turn on the nut should do the trick. Worth a try, anyway. If it's a rivet, you'll have to pound it with a hammer (carefully). I had a squeak in my saddle, but it was at the back; at first I suspected a rivet, but it turned out one of the rails was coming loose from the frame. I tightened it up with a couple judicious hits with a big hammer and a punch.
Mine has been doing the same. At first I thought it was the headset...then maybe the bottom bracket...finally I worked my way up the seat post and located the little squeaker.
I'll be trying a little lube first.
04-24-09, 05:33 PM
Lube around the nut (not yours), and it should fix it. Use a lot though, as it could be anything around there causing the squeak.
A drop of oil will stop the squeak, but check your tensioning bolt very carefully. Not long after my Brooks Team Professional Saddle began squeaking, I spotted a stress fracture that has now run half way through the tensioning bolt. Clearly a material defect.
I asked Nashbar for a warrenty repair/replacement on it and they just told me to mail it to them. The saddle is just under 3 years old, so we will see what luck I have, especially since Nashbar no longer stocks the Team Professional.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness says that one in five people will be affected by mental illness in their lifetime.
According to Officer Mark Stephens, the Brentwood Police Department receives a large number of calls involving people struggling with mental disorders. Stephens is one of six members of the department’s crisis intervention team that is trained to handle these difficult circumstances.
Under the leadership of Capt. Richard Hickey, the Brentwood Police Department recently initiated a crisis-intervention program.
Tommy Walsh, assistant police chief, says the program has helped officers “better deal with folks we make contact with who are suffering from a mental health crisis.”
The six CIT officers went through a special 40-hour NAMI-certified training course to understand different types of mental illnesses they may encounter and learn the skills for de-escalating a mental illness crisis.
Stephens, a former Scottsdale, Arizona, police officer, was already familiar with the program when he joined the BPD almost three years ago. Years earlier he was among the officers trained when Scottsdale’s department initiated a specialized response program for mental illness calls.
“I wanted to genuinely help people,” he said. “To do that, you’ve got to understand them. Mental illness can be scary, and families with a mentally ill person have difficulties.”
Statistics show that people with mental illness typically don’t commit crimes. The crimes they do commit, such as disorderly conduct, are generally a result of the illness.
Stephens said that people who have schizophrenia do strange things and have a difficult time hearing and processing commands because they have too much going on in their head. Often they have auditory and visual hallucinations, which can cause erratic behavior, sometimes leading to criminal behavior.
Schizophrenia is like a switch, Stephens explained. One day a person is normal and then something — stress, substance abuse, trauma — trips the switch.
Depression is legitimate and is also considered a mental illness. Autism is more behavioral, Stephens said. Often people with autism don’t relate well to other people and don’t like physical contact.
“Handcuffing can really escalate the situation,” he added. “We need to be familiar with the symptoms.”
Dispatchers who receive calls regarding someone who may be out of control or acting strangely are trained to ask, if they aren’t told, whether the person is mentally ill. That helps the police department send an officer trained in handling such incidents.
According to Stephens, officers trained at a police academy traditionally shout and sometimes try to intimidate to get a person’s attention and gain control of situations. But with a person suffering a mental dysfunction, there is already enough “noise” in their head, so, just the opposite is needed.
“There are so many other opportunities to actually genuinely change a life,” Stephens said. “When a family has to call the police and we come in nice, calm, helpful and with information about resources, that gives a family hope. They’re in crisis, and they need help dealing with it.”
During that time, they may have committed a crime, but it was committed under the influence of the illness, he explained. To defuse the situation, the responding officer works to make eye contact and get the person to focus on him/her and his/her voice rather than the noise in their head.
“We don’t feed into their hallucinations,,” Stephens said. “We acknowledge them and say, ‘I’m not seeing that.’”
The officers articulate the probable cause for their involvement and actual danger and arrange to get them to the hospital for involuntary commitment.
“What good is it to take them to jail?” he said. “Truly mentally ill people are victims more than criminals. Mental illness is hard to manage. It takes constant work to manage.”
Stephens has discovered much of what he learned about the treatment of the mentally ill has helped him in his regular police duties. In the 11 years he has been in law enforcement, he has arrested more than 1,000 people and has used force only six to 10 times.
“Policing is a lot like parenting,” he said. “People don’t really change that much (when they become adults). Kids are irrational, selfish, immature, and that’s what drives a lot of crime.”

World Cup fans 'freeze' in Qatar's frigid stadiums
Fans attending World Cup matches for the thrills and chills were surprised to find they were getting a bit too much of the latter.
Qatar’s high heat is of the biggest challenges to overcome as it stages the first-ever World Cup held in the Middle East.
Though air-conditioning systems were installed in most of the stadiums to make it more bearable for fans to watch the action, they were instead bundling up to keep warm.
Some wore long-sleeved shirts or jackets, while others wrapped themselves with the national flag they brought with them.
“I put on a jacket during the first half of the game,” said a Japanese fan who wore a short-sleeved shirt and shorts to the match at Al Bayt Stadium.
“I’ll wear long sleeves and long pants at the next game.”
His seat was next to a vent blowing cold air at his feet.
“A supporter from Ghana sitting in front of me also said it was cold,” another fan said

Wargaming.net CEO Victor Kisyli took to the stage early in Microsoft's Xbox panel at E3 on Monday to announce that World of Tanks would be coming to the Xbox 360 this summer. The game will be free-to-play for Gold subscribers on Xbox LIVE.
The console version of the game already has its own website, offering up tips and advice for new players (and maybe people who like the game but are really bad at it... not that I know anyone like that). The new incarnation also has its own newly dedicated Twitter and Facebook pages.
Also revealed in the trailer for the big news were some new statistics on the game, including 60 million registered players across 200 countries. Although some gamers undoubtedly own both a PC and an Xbox 360, over 77 million 360s have been sold worldwide since its 2005 debut, bringing WoT to potentially tens of millions of new players.
The move also seems like a great way for Wargaming.net to gain a foothold on consoles and learn the ins and outs of the platform to pave the way for World of Warplanes and World of Warships on the next generation of consoles. Unless League of Legends makes its way to consoles, it's not hard to imagine we'll see a press release in the coming months trumpeting Wargaming.net as having the “biggest F2P games on consoles.”
Actually, come to think of it... why hasn't Riot ported League to consoles? Sounds like a license to print money.
What's your take on the news? Granted, most of you reading this are probably PC gamers, so it doesn't affect you directly, but if a sizable company like Wargaming.net can take its gameplay to consoles, will this open the doors to a new wave of F2P console gaming?

Three teams will build test machines for PirelliApril 21, 2019
In 2021 in the Formula 1 will change the technical regulations. One of its points is the transition from the current 13-inch to 18-inch tires. In Pirelli, this year they want to start testing prototypes of new tires, and for these purposes three teams will build test machines for the Italian company. According to Auto Motor und Sport, we are talking about Mercedes, Ferrari and Renault, and last year’s chassis will be taken as the basis.
In addition, in Pirelli should decide on which routes will be tested new tires – a decision about this has not yet been made, but the head of the auto sporting division of Pirelli Mario Isola is full of optimism: “If everything goes according to plan, then the first tests with new tires will pass in mid-September. It is important for us to work with several machines of different teams in order to obtain representative data. ”
Why only three teams will provide Pirelli test machines? An unnamed representative of one of the teams in the middle of the peloton explained what this is all about: “The first tests are nothing more than basic research. We can not afford to spend part of our resources to create a test machine. “
However, there are already concerns that the three factory teams that will test tire prototypes in 2019 will gain an advantage, so Pirelli wants seven teams to be provided with test machines in 2020.
“We expect seven teams to take part in the tests,” continues Mario Isola. “In addition, we want the cars of 2019 to be taken as the basis for next year.”

United States history as presented in textbooks is aimed at government funded high schools and universities. In the history they present, full accounts of those who have opposed the government are generally repressed. Many incidents of real peoples’ history are omitted. Others are treated briefly and summarily dismissed. Those involved in genuine protest or rebellion are often referred to as misled, misfits, or madmen.
In most history books there is an elitist bias which romanticizes leaders, kings, generals, politicians and dramatizes their role without mentioning the struggles of the common people for the necessities of life and control over their own existence. Most history books, whether of a liberal bourgeois or “Marxist” bent, ignore, the real struggles of the people and instead glorify this or that government and its leaders.
There is a great need for good anti-establishment history, for the return of that which has been repressed. This is not to say we need to view history as spectacle for our entertainment, or as an escape from reality into the glories of the past.
If history has any use it is for the living, for examples and encouragement, to show us what is possible. In history can be found models of the way things might be done to change the future, and models of what has failed, and errors not to be repeated. The resurgence of the repressed in history can give strength to the anarchist, the radical and those who would struggle for control of their day to day lives. If we learn well from history we know we are not alone, we have never been alone, and the future is ours if we make it so. It is for the living generation to fulfil the repressed and forgotten attempts at rebellion, at revolution, at taking possession of our own lives.

Is the property already in two parcels? If not, you’ll first need to determine that the property can in fact be subdivided. Even if it is already two parcels you need to verify that it can be built on under the current zoning ordinance. Those ordinances change, so make sure you have current information. Check with the planning and zoning folks in the locality to get the answer to that.
Once I knew the parcels were separate I would finance the lot with the sheds separately from the vacant lot. Then the vacant lot is free and clear, and you can either get a construction loan for 100% of the cost of improvements, or sell it to a builder as a developed lot. Unless they have a ready buyer, most builders will ask you to subordinate the purchaxse price of your lot to their construction loan, then everyone gets paid when the house sells.
Building Question - Posted by JG-PA
Posted by JG-PA on February 25, 2003 at 15:18:30:
I have a property with some storage sheds on it with a nice empty lot also that can be built on.
I’ve worked the numbers out so that I could cash flow about 92.33/month on the storage units alone, but how would I go about building a home on the lot and/or selling to a builder after I buy. This deal might be out of my league for a first deal because I’m clueless about building and/or the feasibility of someone purchasing a lot like this in the city to build on, but I thought I’d throw it out here and see what you guys would do. Thanks
Here are the numbers for reference:
Ask Price:27500 but very motivated seller, will probably take MAO of 20000
Vacancy @5%=218 (which may be low for storage units?)
Projected Debt Service @:
PMT=119.83 (1438 annually)

Dj Villa's Caught the Miami Bug :D
This mix is compiled from some of the Sexiest House tracks you're likely to hear on right now.
During this Long Hiatus I was on, I was having some trouble putting a new mix together. there was lots of good music, but none of the songs that were catching my attention seemed to fit well together. Then suddenly after a multitude of attempts, frustrating transitions that didn't go well together, this Miami influenced edition of Chilote Sessions finally came together perfectly.
The Classic track on this mix will be easily recognized by many of you house heads that been around for a while, 'High Energy' Axwell and Evelyn Thomas a track that can be described in no other way than Sexy, Disco Inspired, Miami House.
So on to the Music, as always I hope you all enjoy listening to this Mix as much as I enjoyed making it.

Baptized circa Sept. 19, 1583, in Ferrara; died Mar. 1, 1643, in Rome. Italian composer and organist.
Frescobaldi, who gave concerts in various countries of Europe, was appointed organist at St. Peter’s in Rome in 1608. He composed numerous works for organ (fantasies, toccatas, canzoni, and ricercari), harpsichord (preludes, fugues, and partitas), and voice. Frescobaldi enriched the organ repertoire and laid the foundations for free polyphony by defining a new approach to the use of melody and developing the fugue. The founder of the Italian school of the organ, he was later referred to as the Italian Bach. Frescobaldi, whose students included the German organist J. J. Froberger, influenced succeeding generations of organists.
