text: It has been suspected for almost a century that traumatic brain injury (TBI) can produce pituitary dysfunction, but only over the recent years/last decade have we completed prospective studies that document hypothalamic-pituitary axis damage occurs after TBI. An important aspect of TBI-induced hypopituitarism is the potential impact on brain recovery. For those who survive a TBI, the clinical manifestations vary depending on the type, site, and severity of the injury, including direct or indirect injury to the hypothalamus and pituitary. The probability of developing hypopituitarism has been based on the severity of the TBI,1,14 especially when associated with cranial fractures, cerebral damage, and a prolonged period of loss of consciousness (LOC). The most widely used clinical classification of TBI severity is the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). Other factors that define clinical severity of TBI include duration of LOC, posttraumatic amnesia, and intracranial lesion(s) on imaging studies. Endocrine evaluation should, therefore, be considered in spite of the absence of diabetes insipidus.

marzo 16, 2016 di QUADRI E DIRIGENTI DEL TURISMO by Alberto Correra
At a cursory glance, the diagnosis for global corporate travel demand looks healthy. Global air traffic posted its strongest year-over-year growth since the recovery from the 2008 U.S. financial crisis, and hotels in many global regions are seeing record occupancies. At the same time, threats to that growth loom, and there are murmurs of a global recession on the horizon. While low oil prices can stimulate demand through lower travel costs, they also are causing heavy travel cutbacks from the energy sector. China’s behemoth economy, meanwhile, is teetering toward recession, which would bring global demand repercussions, as could the United Kingdom’s potential exit from the European Union later this year. The Zika virus, too, has emerged as a pandemic threat.

Question: Unexplained symptoms finally diagnosed.
|taldrich - Thu Oct 27, 2005 4:09 pm||
After approimately 6 years of chronic fatigue, infections, viruses, and uneplained medical problems I finally got an answer. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. Besides the obvious symptoms my white blood cell count has steadily been above 15. Which explains a lot of my problems. I wanted to know if anyone else has been diagnosed with this and what treatment they decided on. I go to the doctor on Nov 8 to decide treatment. He wants to put me on an anti-depressant, so I can sleep better, have more energy, and less mood swings. This will obviously not help with the chronic infections and WBC count but it will help eliminate some of the problems. If anyone has anything to say about this topic and/or treatment please post a reply. All comments are appreciated. Thanks.
|Dr. Safaa Mahmoud - Sun Jul 16, 2006 8:28 pm||
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome CFS symptoms include:
-Fatigue and weakness for more than a day after exertion and interferes with daily and social activity.
-Headache a landmark of this syndrome
-Tender lymph nodes mainly in the neck or the axillary nodes
-Muscle and joint aches
-Impairment of short-term memory or concentration
- The feeling of being nrefreshed after sleeping
-Poor temperature control either feeling so cold or hot like having fever and sweat.
-Disturbances in the autonomic nervous system
Chronic fatigue that does not show at least four of these criteria is known as “idiopathic fatigue.”
Exclusion of hypothyroidism, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and major depressive disorders is essential for the diagnosis.
I hope these informations are helpful.

Tesco has refreshed its iconic ‘Every Little Helps’ slogan for the first two TV ads from its partnership with BBH, with CMO Michelle McEttrick insisting that the supermarket brand has achieved a “clearer point of view” from the comedic new creative.
As Tesco becomes the first UK supermarket to offer an immediate price match at the tills, Marketing Week caught up with chief customer officer Robin Terrell to find out the rationale behind the scheme and how the former ecommerce man is finding the move into marketing.
Tesco has hired former Barclays CMO Michelle McEttrick as its new group brand director as the retailer continues to shake up its marketing department under new boss Dave Lewis.
Former Costa Coffee CMO Sarah Barron has been appointed to lead the restructured team, filling the role which has been vacant since ex-McDonald’s marketer Emily Somers departed last March.

|bags of big roach would often include two pounders|
Those of us who are old enough to have a free bus pass will remember the good old days when our local River Stour was full of big roach, with two pounders a realistic possibility every day and all wildlife flourishing.
|cormorants are big birds with big appetites|
|roach are a favourite prey - these are some of the survivors from cormorant attack|
Then in the 1980’s the invasion of non-native cormorants from Europe increased dramatically, the annual total reaching upwards of 23,000 birds every winter. Each cormorant eats about 1lb of fish every day and with roach being one of their favourite meals, our river fisheries were rapidly decimated.
|the famous 'Roach Bay' on Wimborne's River Stour with hungry cormorants hunting our fish|
|the clubs regular match results over ten years charts a decline to zero roach - nothing caught = no matches|
|big roach are targeted first - this one weighed 1lb12ozs|
As a result, some of the passionate roach anglers on our committee recently tackled the problem full on and applied to Natural England to control the birds by scaring or shooting. We were granted a licence to remove three birds and our Chairman scored three bull’s-eyes.
|BANG! - job done ... meaning some more of our native wildlife will survive, including our fish|
The removal of just three birds may seem pathetic but as each cormorant eats at least 100lbs of fish every winter, three dead birds means that at least 300lbs of our roach have been saved to fight another day … and some of the survivors will probably grow on to become the dreamed of two pounders. The fishing is already improving.
|logging your sightings means more fish for us to catch|
Better still, the club is putting the facts together to enable an Area Based Management Licence to be applied for and that means we will be able to control cormorants on all the club’s waters and remove more of them, a win win situation all round.
But YOU MUST HELP because we won’t be allowed to control more cormorants if you don’t log your sightings on the clubs website. It only takes a couple of minutes and we need EVERYONE TO DO IT, wherever you see a cormorant, anywhere around our club waters.
|they can be difficult to scare when hungry|
Armed with the records of sightings, we have the evidence to prove that we have a problem. No one likes killing wildlife but we have a choice, non-native birds or our native wildlife that belongs here. Fewer cormorants means more fish will survive for our herons, grebes, egrets, otters and kingfishers to eat and every member to catch and enjoy ... and it's important to remember that fish are wildlife too and an essential part of a flourishing ecosystem.
Bravo to all those who are helping to achieve a healthy balance of wildlife on our waters. Happy days are here again.

KENNEWICK – Authorities say a Franklin County man in his 30s has tested positive for the Zika virus after a recent trip to Mexico.
The Tri-City Herald reports the Benton-Franklin Health District announced the diagnosis on Wednesday.
Humans get the virus through bites from infected mosquitoes, but once they become infected they can spread it through sexual contact. The kind of mosquito that carries the virus doesn’t live in the Pacific Northwest.
The health district said most people who become infected have few or no symptoms, but infection during pregnancy can lead to severe birth defects including microcephaly.

Students from Ireland and abroad learn to ‘Riverdance’ in Dublin
‘It’s like meeting your idol and your idol is teaching you something’

Young dancers from Ireland and abroad gathered in Dublin this week for the beginning of the fifth annual Riverdance International Summer School.
A total of 113 dancers, aged 12 and up, have enrolled in the week-long, intensive dance instruction programme being held at Liffey Trust Studios.
Professional performers from the Riverdance show will spend days breaking down the complicated moves of the famous Irish dance routine to teach to students.
“It’s like meeting your idol and your idol is teaching you something,” said Maria Zimfer (30) from Moscow, Russia. “It’s fantastic.”
The students here are not just learning the moves, they are also auditioning for the show.
Since its inception in 2015, the school has sent 33 former students on to become part of the Riverdance show. At the end of this week, a selection of students will perform with the professional cast in the Saturday matinee show at the Gaiety Theatre.
But everyone gets at least one performance – the entire school will perform on stage for family and friends at the end of the week.
“It’s very amazing to look in front of you and dance,” said Igor Berezovoy (13) also from Moscow. “I see a lot of people looking at me and my friends. It’s very amazing.”
Teamwork and togetherness are the prominent themes throughout the week, as the dancers learn to perform the intricate choreography in unison.
“It’s nice to feel that here it’s not about competition,” said Zimfer. “We share everything and try to help everyone. The company here is about that. We see that and want to keep that.”
“Lots of people came in already knowing people, whereas I literally knew no one,” said Ella Owens (15) from London.
“On my first day I made like four new friends. Now we’re really close. We meet so many different people. You grow closer and have all these amazing memories with them.”
The opportunity to interact with professional dancers is what makes the school special, and what brings many students back year after year.
“You get so inspired by all the instructors,” said Niamh Marsden (17) of Avoca Beach, Australia. “Every time you come back you learn something different. You might pick up something that you didn’t know was in the dance.”
“They are such lovely people,” said Anthony O’Connor (18) from Dublin. “Most are from Ireland and they have so many stories. I feel so lucky to actually be surrounded by them this entire week because you couldn’t ask for anyone better to be your instructor.”
“It’s great for us as well,” said Ellen Bonner, dance captain at the school and lead dancer in the show.
“They’re obviously inspired by us, but we get so inspired by them. Just seeing their work ethic and how passionate they are about it. It just makes us really appreciate our job and how lucky we are to get to do it every day and perform it every night for audiences all over the world.”

To visit the Land of the Rising Sun is to step into the awesome, fantastic, and unusual. And that does not exclude one of the most basic traveler needs, accommodation.
Apart from the garden-variety selection of luxury to budget hotels, Japan offers choices that veer away from the conventional. These reflect the very distinctive taste of the Japanese borne, perhaps, from the merging of its very cultural society and its futuristic technologies.
Here are some places you might want to stay in while in the country to experience the extraordinary.
Nothing fancy here, just your basic bed, television, and shared bathroom accommodation. Only, it’s a room that is as long and as wide as a single-size mattress and only tall enough to give you room to sit upright. If that’s not unusual enough, these capsule rooms are stacked in rows within a room. Stay here and you also get your own TV, but you would have to listen with an earphone and share a bathroom with everyone else in that room. The plus? It’s cheap, it’s clean, and it has everything you need to get a good night’s rest.
Generally not meant to serve the globetrotter, love hotels are accommodations for couples on a romantic rendezvous. If you are adventurous enough to stay for a night or rest for a few hours, you’ll find that the rooms are clean and well-maintained. Themed rooms are normal and ranges from the most bizarre and kinky to fun and tame. Discretion, of course, is king here. Most won’t have front desks and you would have to pay via a machine that dispenses the room key.
Providing both a place to read manga, or Japanese comics, and a place to stay, Manga Cafes are more like Internet cafes that offer cheap accommodations as an aside. Perhaps because the original intent of being just library of manga has really evolved into something else entirely. It’s a good thing if you are otaku and looking for a comfortable place to stay. After all, who can say no to a cozy place to stay with shower and free drinks for just 1,500 yen a night?
Tourists may not know this, but they can actually crash at a sauna, or onsen, in Japan for the night. It’s actually cheaper than the capsule hotel costing about 3,000 yen a night. You would have access to a variety of bathing option being that it’s a sauna. Some of the larger saunas will have rooms with dimmed lights and rows of armchairs you can sleep on. It’s actually safe to stay in an onsen, if you dare, because you’ll find many of your “roomies” are office workers. At a women’s sauna you’ll also find off-duty bar hostesses resting before their next shift.
Before hotels came to be in Japan, the ryokan is where people stay when traveling around the country. If you want to experience what it is like to live in a Japanese home, these traditional inns are perfect. And it’s a good thing they are still around today.
Most are family run, and will feature futons on tatami mat floors, shared baths, towels, and yukata. If you are lucky, you’ll find some that will serve dinner and breakfast.

Week 8 brings us a lot of pretty good games around the NFL, but there’s the potential for Titans-Colts to surprise some people.
Sure, Tennessee is coming off some big-time wins, but this could be set up to see a trap game as the Colts are no pushover. They have been better than what their record would tell everyone.
The Titans have shown a lot of people around the NFL these last couple of weeks that they are a top contender in the AFC. You don’t just beat the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs by getting lucky.
Tennessee’s defense was able to come up with a huge stop against Buffalo on Monday Night Football, and also held Patrick Mahomes to 206 yards passing and no touchdowns last Sunday.
The Colts, meanwhile, are coming off back-to-back wins after starting the season 1-4. They took down the Texans 31-3 and then went into San Francisco and beat the 49ers 30-18 on Sunday Night Football.
There are plenty of interesting bets to look into in what could be a sneaky good matchup on Sunday.
Please note that all odds and lines are current as of 10 a.m. ET on Friday, October 29.

Titans vs. Colts Prop Bets: NFL Week 8 Prop Betting Picks
Titans +2.5 (-106) at BetRivers
Wager: 1.5 Units
I have to say I was definitely surprised to see the Titans as an underdog coming into this one. They’re fresh off two big wins to get them to 5-2, and they’re an underdog against a 3-4 team? Sure, it may be due to playing on the road, but Tennessee has the superior roster here.
Derrick Henry is one of the top-skill position players in the league, and no one comes close to the impact that he can provide on a weekly basis. He has over 200 yards rushing and three combined touchdowns in his last two weeks of action.
Ryan Tannehill has also been getting better by the week, as he has close to 2,000 passing yards with 7 touchdowns to 5 interceptions. It helps that he has a better supporting cast around him, but he’s also been a key player for the Titans after a slow start.
The Colts are going to keep this close, mainly due to Jonathan Taylor. In three of his last four games, he’s gone over 100 yards rushing and has five combined touchdowns on the ground. He’s a little like Henry in which he’s a quick back, but he’s also hard to bring down.
It’s going to be quite the test for the Titans’ run defense, which ranks ninth in the league, allowing 103.3 rushing yards per game.
That said, I still have a hard time believing the Titans lose this game. They’re better on both sides of the ball and are firing on all cylinders.
Under 50.5 Points (-109) at BetRivers
Wager: 1 Unit
This is going to be a classic game of smash-mouth football. Both teams have great running games, and while their quarterbacks can also pass, this game will be won and lost on the ground.
That’s the main reason I’m taking the under in this game. Even though Tannehill and Carson Wentz are above average passers, I don’t trust them enough to air it out and have the over hit.
Both defenses have also played well in spurts but are polar opposites of each other. For example, the Colts unit ranks in the top half of the league in passing yards allowed per game (243.1), but the Titans defense ranks in the top half in rushing yards allowed per game (103.3).
With those combined, it makes it even harder for the over to hit.
Both Taylor and Henry are going to likely get their respective home run plays, and some receivers will step up at times as well. That said, this is going to be a ground-for-pound type game where the final score is around 23-20 or 24-21, which leads me to my next bet.
Colts Under 26.5 Points (-113) at BetRivers
Wager: 1 Unit
This may seem a bit odd with how Indianapolis has scored the last three weeks, but regression is bound to hit at some point. Tennessee is also flying high after only allowing Kansas City to score three points and not allowing Mahomes to do anything last Sunday.
If Taylor doesn’t do much in the passing game, which is a big if considering he’s dangerous there as well, I’m not sure the Colts will be able to put up close to 30 points.
- Read our full Titans vs. Colts Predictions and Best Bets.
They have their home run hitter in Michael Pittman Jr., who’s been a freak thus far, but T.Y. Hilton is still questionable at this point. He had to miss the game against the 49ers on Sunday due to a calf injury and was limited in Thursday’s practice. Hilton not being there would put a huge dent in the passing game once again.
Zach Pascal is also a target, but he still hasn’t been used as much as some thought he would be this season. He has just 21 receptions for 218 yards and three touchdowns in all seven games of action.
Indianapolis has to hope that Tennessee’s defense has a very off day for the over to hit.
Titans First Half Spread +1.5 (-122) at BetRivers

The Titans have had the lead at halftime in four of seven games this year and are 3-1 when leading going into the second half. Their only loss was against the New York Jets in overtime back on Oct. 3.
Tennessee has also come back from a couple of halftime deficits this season, namely the game against Buffalo a couple of weeks ago (down 20-17). Tennessee also erased a 21-9 halftime deficit against Seattle on Sept. 19 to win 33-30.
Despite that, Mike Vrabel’s squad has been solid in the first half of most of their games this season, and that should continue in this one.
As long as Henry is on the field, the Titans can strike at any time, and that should be enough to have them go into the break with a lead.

Brief Fact Summary.
The Plaintiff, Sindell (Plaintiff), developed cancer as a result of a drug her mother took while pregnant.
Synopsis of Rule of Law.
In certain circumstances where the plaintiff is unable to identity the actual tortfeasor and it is unjust to preclude them from recovery, then the group responsible for the overall harm can be held liable.
The Plaintiff’s mother took synthetic estrogen while pregnant with the Plaintiff. As a result of receiving the drug in-utero, the Plaintiff developed cancer as an adult. The drug was manufactured by the Defendants, five drug companies (Defendants) and by about 195 other companies not named in the suit. The Defendants together produced 90% of the drug. The Plaintiff is unable to identify which company produced the actual drug her mother took.
Whether the Defendants are liable for the Plaintiff’s cancer.
The Defendants are liable for the injury to Plaintiff.
* This case is unlike others in which the plaintiff is unaware of the identity of the tortfeasor. First, there is a large number of possible tortfeasors, the majority of which are not named defendants. Second, the industry responsible for the production of this drug is large, so holding all of the manufacturers responsible becomes impractical.
* There are strong policy reasons for fashioning liability to the Defendants. First, the Plaintiff was innocent of any wrongdoing and has no way of knowing which of the drug manufactures caused her injury. Second, the manufacturers of such drugs should be culpable for producing a drug that has harmful effects to future generations. Third, the manufactures are in a better position to bear the cost of such harm and they are in the best position to discover and guard against future harm.
* If the Plaintiff joins a substantial share of the manufactures into the lawsuit, the chances of the actual tortfeasor escaping liability is greatly reduced. To determine damages, each manufacturer’s liability will depend on the share it had in the market for the drug unless that defendant can show that it could not have made the product that Plaintiff’s mother ingested. In this way, each manufacturer is liable for an equivalent portion of the injury as to its share of the defective drug it manufacure.

Family and cooking are central for Carina.
Between science jobs in New Hampshire, Carina was chef-owner of Banana Leaf Catering with a portfolio of catering events ranging from small family dinners to 70-person corporate parties. The family moved to Massachusetts and Carina returned to laboratory research but she never gave up her desire to return to cooking full-time.
After a 25 year career as a scientist in the pharmaceutical industry she traded her lab coat permanently for an apron and started Carina is Cooking to do what she loves most and have more time at home with her family.
“After a quarter century doing research in diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease,
I am convinced that pharmaceuticals are not the answer for these chronic degenerative diseases.
Instead I believe good nutrition and lifestyle hold the key and its never too late to start.”
Carina and her husband, Lincoln, live in Sudbury. They have 3 children from 4 to 24.
She loves music and is an Associate of the Trinity College of London with a diploma in classical piano performance. She tinkles the ivories with the choir at St. Anselm’s in Sudbury. Another favorite hobby is making all-natural soaps which are sold for direct contributions towards the St Vincent de Paul Society which helps the needy from all walks of life in our area.
Carina’s goal is to bring dinner home again for families on the run. Her cooking is centered on creating healthy family-style menus. These range from simply offering delicious favorites to draw a family around a dinner table to gluten-free, low-fat, anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense and plant strong cuisines. She employs fresh ingredients, smart alternatives, and proper cooking techniques to bring out the best in favorite dishes to new classics.
Carina continually explores new approaches to cooking and nutrition. She completed the T.Collin Campbell Foundation’s Plant Based Nutrition program through eCornell. She is an International Certified Food Safety Manager through the National Registry of Food Safety Professionals and a proud member of the US Personal Chef Association.
“There are so many benefits to Carina is Cooking. When I am running late from work, I don’t have to worry about rushing home and cooking. There is already a delicious healthy homemade meal that is ready to simply heat up. My husband can do it for himself and the kids if I am really late. This just happened the other day. But I knew I hit the jackpot when I got a text from my husband saying: “Wow she is an amazing cook!”
Marisa Cevasco, Sudbury, MA
“The food is nutritious, fresh, and so tasty. You would be hard pressed to find better food in a restaurant. She has a wide variety of food on her menu and she can tailor it to your tastes. She picks up the groceries for you, and leaves your kitchen spotless after she cooks. My kitchen was cleaner than it was before she came. So pleasant, affable and professional. Overall a tremendous experience. Highly recommended!”
John Soward, Sudbury, MA
“I am celiac and cannot eat gluten, so there are few people I trust to cook for me. When Carina cooks, I know it is safe and fantastic.”
Wendy Pease, Sudbury, MA
“I only eat really well prepared and flavorful food. When Mom says Carina is Cooking, I hold my appetite to eat good food” ; “It’s delicious and healthy too”
Robert and David Pease, (14y, 11y), Sudbury, MA
“I began using Carina’s Cooking in 2015. So far she has impressed me tremendously. There is always a wide array of options of food in my house from chicken pot pie to seared tuna with roasted red pepper sauce. She is accommodating to many different types of diets including gluten free and vegetarian. Additionally, she always communicates on time and is very professional.
I initially brought Carina in because I was coming out of the hospital and needed assistance. However, I do not see her leaving any time soon.”
Rick Ryan, Former CEO, Computer Corporation of America, Weston, MA

This post was a long time coming...
(And by the photos, you'll see... There's still snow on the ground!
I can assure you we have finally reached spring... :D)
But I wanted to give it enough time to give a thorough review.
I'm no professional photographer by any means... I'm sure you can tell :)
But my lovely husband gifted me my first DSLR this Christmas and I'm eager to play and learn.
I hated keeping my camera exposed...
I'm so concerned every time I'm handling it...
I treat it with extra care... It's spoiled, I tell ya!
I'm sure we all get this way with a new toy, right??
So when I was hunting for a camera bag, I had a hard time trying to find one I liked for the price.
I wanted something I could grow into and I wanted something that was "me".
That's when I discovered Jo Totes.
(My friend actually found them through QVC and I was instantly in love)
Now I'm definitely not using my bag to the fullest.
I only have the stock unit and the rest of my purse items inside.
But hopefully I can still be insightful for those of you who are in the market for an affordable/feminine camera bag.
I cannot express enough the great quality Jo Totes has to offer.
Thick, durable fabric in such cute, feminine designs!
I absolutely LOVE the disguise from your normal camera bags.
I feel "safer", in a way.
I get compliments a lot when I have it out...
And I can never stop staring at it..
I'm in love, guys...
head over heels, tongue hanging out, in love...
I bought Jo Totes ROSE Bag in coral.
The color is dead on and the details are super darling:
From the sweet rosette, to the polka dot pattern...
(Beautiful inside and out, literally!)
And let me start by saying I'm a HUGE fan of big purses.
(I'm that type who loves to carry everything with me "just in case"...
You could say I live in my purse)
However, this one is a wee-bit bulky.
So be cautious when ordering.
I definitely do not take it everywhere with me as I once planned.
If I was a mother that was trucking a stroller around, I may, since I had a place to stash it.
But being solely me, my bag tends to bump people when I'm out and about.
So I only use it when I know I will be taking photos.
That's the only big con I found with the ROSE bag.
A small con is the rouching on the front is just decorative..
I was hoping it would have been an extra pocket.
But with all the pockets it has, it really isn't necessary.
Just would have been a nice bonus! ;)
What I love about Jo Totes, besides everything else, is it comes with velcro dividers to fit your needs.
It's totally customizable!
So if you have an extra lense, flash, tripod, you have the option to find it it's own designated spot.
Right now, I just carry my camera, kindle, and miscellaneous "purse needs".
My friend bought the
Betsy bag in chocolate.
I love this bag, too. I had it for only a short while...
But it's pretty fantastic!
It's big, too, like the Rose, but it's not as bulky. With it being wider, it lays flat.
And I love the long strap it comes with.
The Rose comes with one, too, but with the bulkiness of it, it doesn't lay right.
The Betsy in chocolate, has this gorgeous blue interior and lots of pockets.
I feel it's more universal, but I'm a sucker for feminine touches.
(See the flap I'm holding with my right hand? That's an extra pocket as well!)
Definitely do your research.
The Jo Totes bags give a lot of personal favors.
And you cannot go wrong with the quality of these bags.
I am very pleased with my purchase of the Rose bag, and I know my friend loves hers.
You have to do what's right for your lifestyle.
I will definitely be purchasing from Jo Totes again.
Hoping to grab the Allison for my "go to" bag.
It seems to be more compact.
See all about Jo Totes and their products here.
A few pointers that I have read and did not include in my own review....
Many moms who have the Jo Totes camera bag, insist that they double it as a diaper bag, INCLUDING their camera and lenses.
And, there IS a slot for a tablet in these bags. I currently don't own one, so I didn't demonstrate. The pockets are all Velcro. You can divide each section to your liking and your own personal preferences. Which was one huge perk for me!
I hope this helped answer any lingering questions out there! :)

I’ve had my Monomachine for a while but I didn’t truly start having fun with it till I used it when I gigged in Sweden recently.
When I was programming songs into it for Sweden, something happened. Although I was using simple, stripped-down arrangements, the Monomachine was making them sound fantastic. It was playing them with a rock-solid feel that I lost when I moved over to totally computer-based sequencing. Of course, the Monomachine is actually a computer in a box itself, with a keyboard stuck on it. But something happened in that integration: the Monomachine has the timing of my ancient analogue gear. There is no computer-based sequencer I’ve tried that can match it for musical feel or immediacy of twiddling.
Look at those encoders on the top panel. You can grab them and twiddle away, mid-pattern. You can twiddle them while you’re recording and thus get all manner of craziness that hours of mousing around couldn’t replicate. The Monomachine is an instrument, you have to play it to get the best out of it. As if that wasn’t enough, it plays a sequence like nothing else invented after 1990.
So what do I do now?
Since coming back from Sweden, I’ve been trying to convince myself that the Monomachine is no better than a computer for sequencing. I’ve programmed countless patterns on each, going out of the room as they’re switching to give some form of blind (deaf?) testing. I’ve tried to be as rational and scientific as possible.
But every time, even though all the technical specs say it shouldn’t be happening, I prefer the Monomachine to the computer.
One night, convinced I was on the edge of sanity, I emailed my friend Paul to see if he could help my brain. He came up with some good observations:
1. Even if we accept that a computer can be programmed to perform any task, it would be foolish to assume that a computer will always be the best tool to perform every task.
2. We are encouraged to think that computers provide the ideal level playing field; that they are the ultimate transparent medium, and the perfect blank page. This is completely, utterly wrong. In fact, the reverse is true.
3. ‘Fidelity’ is a red herring in sound recording. A recording medium only ever works tolerably well within certain parameters. You never get back exactly what you put in. This applies to digital and analogue recording alike.
4a. To talk in terms of ‘better’ or ‘worse’ sound quality entails a category mistake. The clue is in the question: there are qualitative *differences* between sounds. There is no objective measure of sound quality. (The efficiency of a recording device can be measured, in terms of frequency response, dynamic range and so on, but that’s not the same thing.)
4b. While there are some interesting differences between analogue and digital recording media, these are not all that significant. A much more striking difference is between a standalone digital recorder and a computer-based DAW.
5. A process that requires three decisions to be made will be completed more quickly than a process that requires thirty decisions to be made. A process that requires three hundred decisions to be made may never be completed. Limiting the number of decisions that has to be made can therefore be an effective strategy for increasing productivity (which is defined as the frequency with which one finishes things).
6. Computer software is designed according to what successive programmers have assumed is a reasonable or rational way of working.
Their assumptions may have been wrong.
7. Computers are a powerful force for rationalisation. Sometimes (e.g. when editing recordings) this is useful. In other circumstances, it may not be. Historically, interesting artistic results have been produced by people who were using technology The Wrong Way. People working exclusively with computers have relatively little opportunity to do this.
(Source: Aural Spells)
I think Paul raises points that every producer, engineer and recording musician needs to consider very carefully. I’m a gadget freak: if it’s shiny and new and perhaps bleeps a bit, I’ll start salivating until I can get my fat paws on it. I often dream about synthesizers I want to buy. Yep.
But how much new musical tech actually helps us to make music?
I don’t write sitting at the computer, I write songs with my acoustic guitar or perhaps one of my old synths. I’ve written a lot of songs just singing to myself on buses or trains. I think I’ve avoided writing at the computer because it engages the wrong parts of my brain. When I’m songwriting, I don’t want to think about bars and beats or parameter values. I don’t want to be staring at a virtual piano roll as it scrolls along, looking at my song rather than listening to it. And, yep, I can turn the screen off. For the five seconds until I need to access or change something.
On the other hand, I do write with the Monomachine. It’s fun, quick and it sounds really, really good. I can bash a lumpy idea into a highly arranged track very quickly and simply. So, it’s not tech that I’m against, the Monomachine is as tech as it gets. I’m just against the use of inappropriate technology.
In our lust for the new computer, the new plugin, the latest software upgrade we can easily lose sight of the reason for all this stuff: to make music. And, as Paul says above, the bigger your palette, the more time you’ll spend choosing which colour to use. I do believe that art thrives on limits. If you can’t write a great pop song on a four track cassette recorder, having 128 tracks of 96KHz, 24-bit audio + a gazillion softsynths won’t get you any closer.
But there’s another trap musicians fall into, especially those under thirty. They simply invert hi-tech lust into lo-fi lust. For these lost souls, nothing can be good unless it’s got a valve in it, analogue circuitry or was made out of Soviet spaceship spare parts. This is just as much of a musical cul-de-sac as worshipping everything new. It’s the old story of the Golden Age Myth: some people put it in the past (curved mixer faders, glowing tubes), some people (especially ex-Marxists like me) put it in the future. I grew up using a lot of that “vintage” gear when it was brand-new. Trust me, most of it was hopeless, noisy shit we were glad to see the back of. Both the hi-tech and the lo-fi approaches fetishise the production of music, they displace making music with buying musical gear.
The key is appropriate tech, not in the exact sense that Schumacher used the phrase but slightly related, I guess. I’m now in a process where I’m examining what I use to make music from both rational and emotional perspectives. It took the shock of using the Monomachine to spark this realisation, a piece of new hi-tech that plays and feels like old-tech. In some ways, I wish I could just carry on using computers for everything. After all, it’s easy to do everything in the one program, use only softsynths, plugins, mix and master in one package.
I’m just not sure any more if it sounds good, that’s all. Actually, scratch that. I think I should say:
If it sounds wrong, it is wrong.
Time to start listening with my ears again and give my eyes (and mouse) a rest.

You are quite right about the first character of signature D - uta (歌).
The second character is tora (虎), so the name of the artist could be Utatora, or possibly Kako or Kaku (歌虎).
I found a print with his signature at http://multi.tosyokan.pref.shizuoka.jp/digital-library/ - search for his name or "K915-108-042-061" (without quotes).
Post a Followup


Australian entrepreneur, Mike Cannon-Brookes, has made a stir in Australia’s energy sector after announcing his intentions to purchase fossil fuel energy company, AGL.
The 42-year-old co-founder of software company, Atlassian, and business partner Brookfield, a Canadian investment management company, originally bid a whopping eight billion Australian dollars for 100% of the Australian energy company earlier this year.
The consortium’s bid of $8B Australian dollars was made to AGL in hopes of being able to stop the company from using fossil fuels by 2035, as well as to push a further $20B into renewable energy and storage efforts.
In recent weeks, the public face of the multi-billion-dollar bid, Mr Cannon-Brookes, has stated his bullishness for the opportunity to transform the company. Speaking to Channel 10’s The Project on the 21st of February, the billionaire entrepreneur said:
“it (AGL) happens to be Australia’s largest emitter (of fossil fuels), about 8% of Australia’s emissions. As a single company, is more than the emissions of Sweden, Ireland, or New Zealand. The opportunity to transform that rapidly is pretty amazing and the fact we can do it economically, we’re incredibly bullish on that potential”.
AGL, who emits Australia’s highest amount of greenhouse gas, at just over 42.2 million tonnes, rejected the consortium’s initial bid of $8B on the 21st of February.
After the rejection of the initial bid by the energy company, Mr Cannon-Brookes told ABC’s Leigh Sales in an interview, that he would continue to collaborate with AGL:
“We’re continuing to present our case to work with shareholders, work with the company, and obviously any other stakeholders in terms of federal and state governments in various states, to explain our plan”.
Following the rejection of their initial attempt to purchase, Mr Cannon-Brookes and Co. launched a secondary, $9B bid for the company, a 10% increase.
The efforts to purchase the greenhouse emissions giant, this time for $9B, were once again rejected by the AGL after the company held “emergency discussions”
AGL Chief Graeme Hunt has explained the reasoning behind the rejections of both takeover bids:
“We believe both bids fell below the fair value of the company. Its clear the consortium sees value in the energy transition and sees value in the business – the issue is they don’t want shareholders to benefit from that value”
After having both multi-billion-dollar takeover bids rejected by the energy company, Mike Cannon-Brookes stated he and Brookfield have planned to walk away, stating in a tweet “The Brookfield-Grok consortium looking to take private and transform AGL is putting our pens down – with great sadness”.

Book Talk: Queer Palestine and the Empire of Critique
Register here. Please use your Georgetown email address to register.
The Center for Contemporary Arab Studies invites all members of the Georgetown community to a book talk with author Sa’ed Atshan on his latest book, “Queer Palestine and the Empire of Critique.”
About the Book: From Ramallah to New York, Tel Aviv to Porto Alegre, people around the world celebrate a formidable, transnational Palestinian LGBTQ social movement. Solidarity with Palestinians has become a salient domain of global queer politics. Yet LGBTQ Palestinians, even as they fight patriarchy and imperialism, are themselves subjected to an “empire of critique” from Israeli and Palestinian institutions, Western academics, journalists and filmmakers, and even fellow activists. With this book, Sa’ed Atshan asks how transnational progressive social movements can balance struggles for liberation along more than one axis. He explores critical junctures in the history of Palestinian LGBTQ activism, revealing the queer Palestinian spirit of agency, defiance, and creativity, in the face of daunting pressures and forces working to constrict it.

text: Dogs toys are a big business; there are so many different types it's mind boggling. Have a look around at the next petstore you are in and you'll be amazed. Most toys are designed for us; they catch our eye, we think they are cute so we buy them for our dogs. With a new puppy in the house; toys are essential. The fastest way to have your house destroyed is to have no toys. I always tell my clients that when you have a puppy I expect your house to look like there is a toddler living in it. There should be many toys in each room. Size, shape and texture are important. I've been on the hunt for great toys lately. Many are just puppy toys and would not hold up to the big dogs. I've been looking for all different shapes to stimulate this little munchkins brain. But the adults are seeing the maybe one good thing about a puppy; lots of new toys. In this video my 8 year old has found a great new toy to play with. He is obviously taking great joy in squeaking the toy. Part of his joy is that it is not his toy; but watching him brings me joy.

Millburn Township Girl Scouts build with Legos
One-hundred and twenty girls in kindergarten through fifth grade attended a Lego block building workshop on April 7. Children and their parents or grandparents created model windmills from 70,000 different Lego pieces. Girls were grouped in teams of three, and spent the afternoon working as engineers.
In this activity, the Hartshorn Elementary Girl Scouts were able to participate in cooperative learning using a hands-on approach. A variety of different windmills, with varying designs, shapes, and colors could be seen across the crowded room, as children were searching for specific blocks and building with their fellow Girl Scouts.
According to event organizer and local pediatrician Dr. Stacey Tavel, "This event exceeded my highest expectations. The girls were fully engaged in this project from the minute the giant tubs of legos were opened. It was touching to see the older girl scouts mentor the younger girls, as they displayed creativity, patience and compromise. I could not have asked for a better group of girls and adult-helpers to make this event a huge success."
When girl scouts were finished, their model windmills were placed on a large map of New Jersey. The purpose of placing the model windmills on a map was to generate awareness of a planned wind farm off the coast of Atlantic City.
"People understand three-dimensional models more than two-dimensional drawings," said Stephen Schwartz, Architect of SWS in Livingston, who runs the block building program. "An architect has to be aware of alternate energy" he added.
Schwartz spoke to participants about wind farms which were planned to be built off the coasts of Atlantic City and Block Island in New England. While there are already existing wind farms in Texas, according to Schwartz, they are seven hundred miles from a major population center. The one off the coast of New Jersey was planned to be just three miles from Atlantic City, and would have provided pollutant free, renewable energy that had no need for burning coal, gas, or nuclear fuel. Schwartz informed the participants that the 25-megawatt wind farm would have powered 10,000 homes, brought $150 million in economic activity to New Jersey and 250 new jobs, according to state officials.
In March 2014, however, this proposal was rejected by the state board of public utilities.
Hartshorn School has six thriving Girl Scout Troops that support Principal Kenneth Frattini's new character development program. The participants and adult volunteers look forward to more events like this in the future, to strengthen the camaraderie amongst different grade levels, as well as encourage science and engineering with young girls.

It makes a huge difference in my cakes. I have tried other brands, this is the best so far.
Put just 3 drops in your coffee and the coffee is transformed into a Masterpiece!
It just smells of alcohol and there is no vanilla taste. I used for cookies and had to throw them away as they tasted so terrible because of it. Made another batch without vanilla and that was fine so I know it is definitely because of this.
Really not good.... trust me... I’m a baker.
Bought this after reading the reviews to give it a try, other customers are right.... This product is not good enough to flavour frostings or cakes, it’s extremely weak in flavour and high alcohol. I used the whole bottle and still no flavour,.....yikes. It’s very alcohol potent, very little vanilla extract and absolutely no good to use. I’m a baker, I normally get the most expensive one in the market because is fantastic, but I wanted to try this one. I couldn’t possibly use it on my customer orders. Hope this review will help anyone who’s thinking of buying it... save your pennies and invest in the real deal.
worst extract ever
taste of pure strong buzz not a vanilla waste of money
There is hardly any flavour or aroma from this. I had to use most of the bottle when making some ice cream. Definitely not the best.

Appearing on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, Stewart asked why the White House and State Department offered conflicting reports about the attack.
“We weren’t confused about the fact that four Americans had been killed,” Obama said, according to the Washington Post.
“I wasn’t confused about the fact that we needed to ramp up diplomatic security around the world right after it happened. I wasn’t confused about the fact that we had to investigate exactly what happened so it gets fixed. And I wasn’t confused about the fact that we’re going to hunt down whoever did it.”
Militants attacked a U.S. consulate in Libya, killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three staff members.
Early response from U.S. Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice said protests against an anti-Islam film spiralled out of control and led to the ransacking of the consulate.
That explanation later gave way to suggestions is was a planned terrorist attack.
Stewart said it wasn’t an “optimal response.”
“Here is what I will say, if four Americans get killed it is not optimal,” Obama said, according to CBS News.
“And we are going to fix it, all of it. And what happens during the course of a presidency, you know the government is a big operation at any given time, something screws up and you make sure you find out what's broken and you fix it.”
It wasn’t all serious, however, and Obama played along with some jokes about Vice President Joe Biden.
“How many times a week does Joe Biden show up in a wet bathing suit?” Stewart asked.
Obama said don’t worry, he’s already written the directive.
“But, I’ve got to say, he looks pretty good,” Obama said.


Colts lose but show huge promise.
The Colts entertained unbeaten league leaders Aquinas 2nds at the Dub on Saturday. Missing four key starting players the youngsters included three more debutants in their line-up. Michael Moseneke, Sean McGarry and Niall McCourt dropped down from the seconds. Robbie Reid was injured in the warm-up and unable to participate.
The opening exchanges were fairly even with Queen’s dealing comfortably with sporadic attacks from an Aquinas side that have been scoring freely from the start of the season. Sean McGarry and Niall Greenlees in central midfield showed some excellent touches as Queen’s more than matched a mature and experienced opposition.
Nick Lewsley was in top form in goal for the students – calmly handling and distributing the ball well on several occasions. Moseneke, Boyd and McGarry all went close for Queen’s before the Aquinas centre forward missed a glorious chance when through on goal. There were half chances for both teams before the interval in an entertaining first period.
Queen’s were forced into two substitutions early in the second half when both Nelson and White succumbed to first half knocks. A nasty foul by the Aquinas number 9 gave Queen’s another problem as the impressive Greenlees was left hobbling for the remainder of the match.
As the younsters tired a more match-hardened Aquinas began to take control. A very harshly awarded penalty for handball was saved by Lewsley to preserve the 0-0 scoreline but the ebullient visitors finally took a deserved lead midway through the half when an unstoppable shot from the edge of the box was dispatched by an Aquinas forward.
Lewsley brilliantly saved a second penalty and Queen’s had a couple of half chances to tie up the contest. However, two very well-taken goals in the final minutes secured the victory for Aquinas.
No points on the day for The Colts but another match under their belt as match fitness develops and many plusses on a testing afternoon. This was a very encouraging performance and with the prospect of several of the walking wounded to return in the near future things are looking very positive indeed for last year’s 3F Champions.
Nick Lewsley in goal had an outstanding afternoon for the students who will hope to bounce back quickly and start climbing the league table. Queen’s have four games in hand on most teams in the division.
Queen’s Colts 0 – 3 Aquinas.


BETONG, Oct 3: The construction of roads to four longhouses in Betong namely Lempaong Asal, Lempaong Baru, Baru Pesok and Rantau Layang, is nearing completion.
According to a report by Sarawak Public Communications Unit (Ukas), Deputy Sarawak Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas accompanied by Deputy Minister of Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development Dato Gerald Rentap Jabu had visited the project site yesterday (Oct 2).
The project implemented by contractor Syarikat Pembinaan Megah Jaya is currently in the final stage of implemention.
The project involves Jalan Ijok/Teguyu/Lempaong/Batu Pesok/Rantau Layang/Perdu Spak (Phase I).
Once completed, the longhouse residents will be able to enjoy a more comfortable road access.
Understanding the importance of road connectivity to the residents, Uggah who is Bukit Saban assemblyman held a meeting with the Public Works Department (PWD) and the contractor to find ways to expedite the road project.
Among the discussed matters was another project that will be implemented in the area, which is the upgrading of the road from Jambu Kerampak to Rantau Layang.
The visit also saw the fine-tuning of the design and specifications of the road that will be built, which is expected to go for tender process soon.
Also present were political secretary to Premier, Dr Richard Rapu; PWD Civil Engineer for South Region, Angelia Belly and Betong Land and Survey Department superintendent Moris Nayup. — DayakDaily

ROBOT DRONEY JUNIOR
A VIDEOGAME FOR OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCES!
Robot Droney Junior is an all-ages mobile party game where players pilot one another in real life via audio signals sent from a virtual remote control. Two-player teams (pilot and drone) compete against other teams to complete real-world missions in this surrealist mix of Charades, Simon Says and SpaceTeam. Robot Droney Junior is currently in early Alpha running on iOS.
HOW TO PLAY
At the start of each round a mission goal is revealed to the teams’ Pilots. Examples missions include: Collect Three Blue Objects, Set up an Imaginary Tea Party, Build a Human Fort, etc. Then, using only the game controller (no talking!), the Pilots remotely guide their Drone in an attempt to complete the mission first (and before the time runs out).
The sound-cues the drones hear in their headphones and the icons the pilots see on the controllers will change based on the different themes of the missions. Bonus points may be awarded to Drones who can also accurately guess what the mission was.
Custom missions can be designed for specific features of the event and outdoor space - Hug the Statue, Climb Those Stairs, etc. Various props and creative tools (chalk, flashlight, bells, bubbles, etc.) could also be staged. A screen/projection could be set up to explain the game as well as reveal to non-players what the current mission is. Also of note: the maximum number of players the system could support for a single mission at one time is 500.
Robot Droney Junior is being developed by Paul Warne. Paul has spent 15 years designing games at Doublefine, Lucas and Ubisoft Studios before he co-founded Montreal’s Hololabs Studio where he was CEO and Creative Director. Paul taught videogame design at Champlain and Dawson colleges, and is starting a new independent studio in 2015.

Since alcohols are weaker acids than water, their conjugate base alkoxide ions are stronger bases than the hydroxide ion.
Is water more basic than alcohol?
The answer is very simple, more stable is the conjugate base stronger will be the acid. R-O- is less stable ,due to +I effect of alkyl group, due to the intensification of charge. Since -OH – > -OR – , hence water is more acidic than alcohols. … Since -OH – > -OR – , hence water is more acidic than alcohols.
Is alcohol stronger than water?
In other words, O-H bond in alcohols is stronger than the O-H bond in water. So, that alcohols are weaker acids than water due to +I effect of the alkyl groups. Water can indeed lose an H+ (Bronsted acid) while it is much tougher to remove a proton from a methyl or ethyl group. A C-H bond is pretty strong.
Is water stronger acid than alcohol?
This is because the OH group in alcohols is less polar than the OH group in water. The electron releasing nature of the R group in alcohols decreases the polarity of the OH bond, leading to decrease in acid strength of alcohols. As a result, water is a better proton donor than alcohol.
Is ethanol or water a stronger base?
Ethoxide ion is a stronger base than hydroxide ion. Thus ethanol is less acidic than water. It is true for all alcohols except methanol, which is slightly more acidic than water. Comparing methoxide and hydroxide ions, O is attached to a CH3 group in one and H in the other.
Why is alcohol weaker than water?
In alcohol , the alkyl group has +I effect. It increases the electron density on the oxygen atom. As a result, the release of H+ ion from alcohol is more difficult than from water or alcohol is a weaker acid.
Are alcohols weak or strong bases?
10.3: Acidity and Basicity of Alcohols and Phenols. Like water, alcohols are weak acids and bases. This is attributed to the polarization of the O–H bond making the hydrogen partially positive. Moreover, the electron pairs on the oxygen atom of alcohol make it both basic and nucleophilic.
Does alcohol float on water?
Alcohol is less dense than water so spirits can float on top of water or juices. They don’t mix because, unless they are stirred up, natural mixing of fluids is actually a very slow process.
Is water heavier than ethanol?
Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) is less dense than water, and it’s boiling point is lower.
Does water have stronger intermolecular forces than alcohol?
Water had the strongest intermolecular forces and evaporated most slowly. The strength of the intermolecular forces in isopropyl alcohol are in between water and acetone, but probably closer to acetone because the water took much longer to evaporate.
Is alcohol acidic or basic?
By the Arrhenius Definition of an acid and base, alcohol is neither acidic nor basic when dissolved in water, as it neither produces H+ nor OH− In the solution. Alcohol with a pKa of around 16−19 , they are in general, slightly weaker acids than water.
Is water more acidic than ethanol?
Ethanol is less acidic than water because of the electron donating nature of the alkyl group attached to the oxygen which destabilizes the hydroxide ion and make it tougher for the oxygen to donate the proton. Hence, water is more acidic than ethanol.
What pH is alcohol?
The pH of alcoholic beverages ranged from 2.49 (Miks Ice Tea – Green Fruits) to 7.64 (Smirnoff). The highest values of acid titration (4.68) and buffer capacity (19.97) were observed in Smirnoff Ice.
Is water a base?
Pure water is neither acidic or basic; it is neutral. So how does something become acidic or basic? That happens when the hydroniums and the hydroxyls are out of balance.
Why is alcohol a weak base?
An alcohol molecule contains nucleophilic oxygen atom (lone pairs on oxygen atom) due to which it acts as weak base when dissolved in water or reacted with strong acids.
Why is ethanol not a strong base?
Still, ethanol has the ability to act as an acid because of the ability to donate it’s hydroxyl proton. However, aqueous solutions of ethanol are slightly basic. This is is because the oxygen in ethanol has lone electron pairs capable of accepting protons, and thus ethanol can act as a weak base.

This looks delicious
I was so pumped to serve this to my kitty! She was ambivalent about eating it. Honestly, I'm not even sure what Hoki is, but it looked fancy and I was excited to give her treats without all of the processed junk - just real food. I loved the idea of freeze-dried food that could be served dry or rehydrated. But the cat was only willing to take a few bites of the rehydrated treats and wasn't interested in them dry at all. Granted, she's a weird cat. Maybe if you have a more normal cat, they will be delighted by these tasty-looking morsels!

Like treasure hunters, a couple of YouTubers have found a house where, for more than 20 years, they had buried a large number of unique video games valued at 100,000 dollars.
The creators of the YouTube channel Cheap Finds Gold Mines They are in charge of looking for treasures in the least thought of places and an old house, with dirt, cockroaches and clearing, became their new great feat.
$ 100,000 worth of video games
In a series of three videos, brothers Aimee and Korbin shared their experience.
The house was uninhabited and in the worst possible condition. You couldn’t walk and there was a lot of trash everywhere. However, it is these kinds of places where they have found their best finds, they noted.
Inside the house finds were unopened copies of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker to rarities like the limited edition of Resident Evil 4 que It came with its own chainsaw remote.
Even the brothers dropped games that were already open, except for a scandalous Bayonetta for PS3.
The house belonged to the uncle of a woman named Stephanie. He was sick so they had to move and she helped with the process in 2019. Now, she was trying to clean the house before it was demolished.
YouTubers confirmed to Kotaku that the total value of the newly discovered game collection was about $ 100,000, which was distributed among 8 people, including the owner and assistants.
