The remake, reboot, revival craze continues in Hollywood and even Netflix is in on the fun! Why not? It’s a ratings goldmine that comes with a built-in aurdience. Rehashing Full House last year with Fuller House became a pop culture success leading to second season in 2017. Arrested Development was an early success for the streaming service as are Trailer Park Boys and Longmire now. Now comes a revival of Gilmore Girls. But does the next nostalgia missile explode into awesome or fall like a dud?
If you don’t know, the Gilmore Girls ran from 2000 to 2007, first on The WB and then on CW. It stars Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham), a single mom raising an extraordinary overachieving teenage daughter, Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel). The pair struggle with school, work, life, and family as they chug coffee in the small town of Stars Hollow. Gilmore Girls is a comedy and drama, but a bit of a fantasy too as the idyllic Stars Hollow exists in a world with a town troubadour, quirky townspeople, and pop culture references galore.
Gilmore Girls is like living inside a Norman Rockwell painting only everyone has whip-smart things to say.
The show’s three strengths were it’s rapid-fire and pop culture-infused dialogue, fantastic acting, and fluid directing. Long, one-shot takes put you in Stars Hollow along with acclaimed performances from Graham, Bledel, and Kelly Bishop as matriarch Emily Gilmore.
Gilmore Girls grew into a strong ratings performer. But it’s that final season that fans complain about. And for that reason, Netflix decided to fill a void by offering Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life. It’s four episodes, each taking place during a different season (Summer, Fall, etc.) that recaps the lives of the Gilmore Girls and puts a better bow on the entire Gilmore Girls package than the original, weak series finale.
Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life hits the ground running. The overall story takes a bit to get going. But from the opening moments, the dialogue is shooting out the mouths of the cast. The camera is carefully following. And the wacky, small town is buzzing again.
For fans of the series, it’s a must-see. It’s four more episodes to enjoy with these great characters and the brilliant way the show mixes humor and drama. For those who have never watched Gilmore Girls it’s still entertaining, if only for the dialogue and performances. However, without the benefit of the series, a lot of the feels will get lost, as will those joyful moments when old characters pop up.
Is it perfect? No. A lot of questions are left unanswered. And there are a few song and dance numbers that feel a little tacked on or are longer than they should be. Not all the old Stars Hollow folks return or are around like they should be. And the ending will be a point of discussion for fans for years to come. As a personal nitpick, why didn’t they use the theme song. “Where You Lead” by Carole King?
I’m generally not a fan of reboots, remakes, or otherwise uses of weaponized nostalgia. I like to look forward and in the end that’s the message behind this new Gilmore Girls. Emily, Rory, and Lorelai all leave old fears behind to face new, exciting fears as the bonded, confident women they are.

Ok... Hi all!
I'm new to the forum and I have a question.
I have been doing research on open relationships, polyamory, triads, etc.
and I came to an interesting discovery... there are a lot of men involved in these relationships and women seem to be in the minority.
Now ze questions: does this gender gap actually exist? And if so, I'm concerned that maybe the majority isn't representing the heart of polyamory. (aka the guys are in it for sex and not forming relationships) Am I right to be concerned, or do I need to be enlightened further?
Thanks for any help!

Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel Announces Passage of Pedestrian Safety Legislation
June 20, 2011
Albany – Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel is pleased to announce that the New York State Assembly passed legislation (A.8366) this week that will make streets safer for pedestrians. Assembly bill A.8366, also known as Complete Streets legislation, encourages transportation planners to consider safer crossing and roadways for users of all ages and abilities. “This legislation establishes better planning practices to ensure that the streets of our community are safe for all users and will also benefit our environment through improved air quality & decreased traffic congestion,” said Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel, a sponsor of the bill and member of the Assembly’s Transportation Committee. The measure, which was recently passed by the State Senate, would require transportation officials to consider specific guidelines when planning transportation projects overseen by the state Department of Transportation (DOT) which receive both state & federal funding. Such guidelines would include adopting design features such as sidewalks, paved shoulders for bicycle use, bicycle lanes, lane striping, crosswalks, pedestrian signals, and other traffic-calming measures. No municipality would be expected to spend local funds, over the amount allocated by federal and state aid, to meet the new guidelines.

Black History Month shouldn’t be the only time to catch up on reading about the African-American experience. Fortunately, recent selections from university and scholarly presses, released in February to coincide with Black History Month, have been varied and noteworthy. So much so that Diverseeducation.com is offering extra reviews this month, in addition to the usual Diverse Issues Bookshelf column, to include the titles that were missed last month.
Princess Noire: The Tumultuous Reign of Nina Simone, by Nadine Cohodas, $30, Pantheon, February 2010, ISBN-10: 0375424016, ISBN-13: 978-0375424014, pp. 464.
This author, who has previously written about jazz and personalities involved in it, including Dinah Washington, tackles perhaps the most mysterious and mercurial of all jazz artists: Nina Simone. Legends about her abound, but Cohadas cuts through the myths to provide insight on the classical pianist turned jazz/pop diva and icon of the civil rights Movement. Born Eunice Waymon in Tryon, N.C., she invented a new name and transformed herself and her music into entities that are difficult to define and impossible to ignore. Prone to outbursts on stage and off, she also channeled her visible anger over professional disappointments and racial injustice into some of the most unforgettable anthems of the era.
Forty Minutes of Hell: The Extraordinary Life of Nolan Richardson, by Rus Bradburd, $24.99, Amistad, February 2010, ISBN-10: 0061690465, ISBN-13: 978-0061690464, pp. 336.
The title refers to the style of basketball this legendary coach mastered during his rise to national prominence as the first African-American in the Old South to win an NCAA basketball championship as coach of a predominantly White school, the University of Arkansas in 1994. He was named national coach of the year and took the team to the Final Four two more times. The author, a former coach himself, and now assistant professor at New Mexico State University, conveys the victories and the pain that Richardson experienced in life and in sports. Richardson grew up as the only Black kid in the Mexican-American barrio of El Paso, Texas, integrated the local high school and honed his basketball skills at what is now the University of Texas at El Paso. His career ended abruptly after a public outburst at a news conference in which he alleged that the University of Arkansas had discriminated against him.
Foot Soldiers for Democracy: The Men, Women, and Children of the Birmingham Civil Rights Movement, edited by Horace Huntley, John W. McKerley, University of Illinois Press; October 2009, ISBN-10: 0252076680, ISBN-13: 978-0252076688, pp. 264.
Powerful oral histories from the archives of the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute allow participants in some of the bloodiest battles of the movement to share what it was like when the children of one of America’s most-segregated cities took to the frontlines. The participants recorded here were the witnesses to and victims of Bull Connor’s cruelest resistance, the bomb attacks on churches (including the infamous killing of four little girls) and the mass arrests of black youth. Their stories, along with commentary by the historian Robin D.G. Kelley and former student activist Rose Freeman Massey, tell how the events molded the freedom fighters and changed history. “Such events must have life-altering effects on the psyche of a young child,” Kelley writes. “How long does it take for the psychological wound to heal”? This book allows some of the children, as well as adults, to answer the question themselves. One recalls feelings of helplessness after the bombing that took her friends at the 16th Street Baptist Church. An earlier volume from the institute focused on the role of labor unions in the war on segregation.
Remembering Brown at Fifty: The University of Illinois Commemorates Brown v. Board of Education, edited by Orville Vernon Burton and David O’Brien, $35, University of Illinois Press, November 2009, ISBN-10: 0252076656 , ISBN-13: 978-0252076657, pp. 456.
In 2004, the University of Illinois devoted a year to commemorating the Brown v. Board of Education decision, providing various forums and avenues to discuss its impact across a wide range of issues. The programming included conferences, lectures and art events. This book pulls together the various threads through the papers presented at the conference, as well as others drawn from the campus events throughout the year. Among those contributing were historians such as Drs. John Hope Franklin and Darlene Clark Hine, as well as scholars in various other disciplines, including Lani Guinier and Julian Bond, reflecting on what the landmark decision did and did not achieve.

Digital Music Production Basics
It is common for musicians who have just started out with independent music production to eventually come to a point where they need to understand the signal chain, this is the hardware or equipment that transfers your sound from the source to the computer and then into a recorded track.
The primary part of the signal chain when talking about digital music production is the soundcard and it is an extremely important piece of hardware that all musicians and audio enthusiasts need to be familiar with...
The first place to start if you are just beginning to research soundcards is to understand the fundamental differences between a soundcard and an audio interface.
Audio Interface: Commonly referred to as a soundcard for the sake of ease, audio interfaces (AI) are actually the combination of a pre-amp and converter combined into the one hardware unit and its purpose is to increase the level of the signal sound from standard microphone level to line recording level by converting the initial analog signal into a digital one.
Traditionally most audio interfaces should also include forty eight volts of phantom power for better use with condenser microphones and can be connected to your computer through a USB or firewire connection.
Soundcards: Soundcards are just audio converters; the name itself is used most often when speaking about normal everyday computers because in that setting they convert the digital signal in the computer to the analog one that you hear from the speakers.
Normally, not many people use the soundcard to input sound, although it can serve that function.
External soundcards sit outside the computers case and are another option for people who are interested in taking their music to the next level, but don’t want to have to open their computers.
What’s The Difference?:
Primary: Soundcards do not have pre-amps; single unit converters only translate analog signals to digital signals.
Secondary: Soundcards are only converters; audio interfaces contain a pre-amp and a convertor.
FL Studio Tutorials
Audio processors and audio effects are two very different things, audio processors take a signal and change it entirely creating a brand new signal, where as audio effects take the original signal and combined with a new signal.
Dynamic processors and frequency processors are two examples you can look at, these effectively change the frequency dynamics of the audio content signal entirely, this is sometimes referred to as the “chaotic method”
Other traditional effects are things like chorus, delay and reverb, even though they are different most audio enthusiasts never truly understand the differences from one or the other and categorize them both together under the blanket term “effects”.
Effects can be utilized in digital music production for technical or aesthetic outcomes and can often allow us to have more control over the final “shape” of the sound that we want.
An essential part of digital music, effects are encountered in both the digital and analog areas of music production, but even though there are multitudes of digital effects obtainable today, most of the time they fall into the following three types.
Dynamic Effects: These change the dynamics and tone of a signal, some traditional examples of this are compressors and signal limiters that are used frequently to change the tone of a performance or studio recording.
Whether it is making a loud part softer or a soft part louder, these kinds of effects are very common in digital music production.
Frequency Effects: These are used to change the frequency content of a specific signal and by doing so altering the frequency content in the signal you can attain a more bright or dark sound, depending on how you choose to implement the effect.
This become very useful in situations where the recorded music or beats are severely lacking in the areas of dynamics or tone consistency and also in instances where audio may need to be enhanced with the assistance of things like distortion or equalizers.
Time Effects: These are very versatile effects that are from the delay family and come in a multitude of varieties such as flangers, phasers, echo and of course reverb, the primary difference between these categories is the time between the effects signal.
For example, a flanger has a very quick time between modulations where as an echo traditionally with have a more linear longer time.
During the final stage of music production, a variety of hardware is available for us to use, The hardware usually falls into the effects group or the processor group. If you didn’t know, the processor is hardware that translates the complete signal and alters it completely, thus changing the initial signal.
Generally speaking, compressors are a process that regulates the tonality and over all dynamics of any musical act.
We use it in a multitude of ways to create a more solid and sharp audio sound, however as with any hardware, there are of course certain settings that we can change to direct the sound and tone to the way we want it.
1: Attack: This setting generally decides the speed of the compressor and how it reacts to a signal that moves over the threshold.
Attack is usually measured in milliseconds, ie: a up tempo attack setting would be around 4ms: meaning, 4ms after a signal crosses the limit, it would then be compressed to the desired setting.
2: Input Gain: This functions as a feature to increase the inbound signal to the compressor and assist with compression in a multitude of ways…
Used to regulate dynamics, raising the maximum gain button this allows for a increase of silent sections of the transmission and allow you to hear a more crisp signal without the rest of the input gain noise.
3: Ratio: This decides the amount of compression that will actually take place, by using ratios like 4:1 and 2:11.
These represent a few things, ie: a ration of 2:1 shows that ever 2 parts of the signal were higher than the threshold and would be automatically decreased to the allocated setting of 1db.
4: Threshold: This is the value that shows where the compressors stack activating, in digital audio music production usually the highest signal is 0 dbfs, so this means that if we allocate the maximum at -24, any transmission that is higher than that will be automatically re sized to be smaller.
5: Release: This is essentially the direct polar opposite of attack because it decides the length of time that the compressor holds the gain reduction that is successful when the signal returns to a suitable level below the threshold.
Short releases often mean a gain reduction is let go straight away, but sometimes the signal can drop beneath the maximize, while a lengthier release might mean that it stays even longer through the signal.
It all really depends on the hardware that you choose to plug in and use, different compressor units may have less or more settings than the ones listed here, these parameters may have low/high frequency range cut, or a gain reducer meter.
Ultimately though, because every piece of software and hardware has its own creative flare and features, its often best to make sure you are using high quality sounds like any audio engineer or dj would use, with this available to us today, get out there and use intuitive software and tap into your own inner creative spirit!
When recording live performances and studio session musicians, one of the first steps in digital music production is making sure you combine the different signals and tracks into one final master mix…
This is called “Mixing” and it is the process of blending two or more sound signals in one single musical composition.
The fundamentals of mixing can be allocated into three (3) areas:
1. Volume (Or Level):
When mixing a level, we tie the track sections of a composition together via changing the peak of each track or instrument layer, if something doesn’t sound quite right, we can alter it using the fader on the master mixer.
On Digital Audio Workstations (DAW) you can do this virtually via your software based volume faders…
If an element sounds too far removed, or very silent, then you may increase the audio signal to make it brighter and louder, pushing it to the front slightly.
2: Equalizing (Or Frequency):
Often equalizing is one of the more advanced techniques in digital audio mixing, this is because trying to understand the correct equalizing processes, a sound technician needs to know the harmonic structure of the individual sections, and then understand how to change the frequency, effectively altering the timbre of the instrument or sample…
3: Panning (Or Stereo Image):
.When you are mixing a final project, especially a stereo mix, which seems to be the most common these days, you are able to balance the sections of the composition by altering their stereo image location, this is also known as panning.
Sometimes referred to as “Pan” this stands for panoramic potentiometer, panoramic suggests that you can place the sounds signals and sections in an audio field that stretches from right to center to left and beyond…
At the very start of the early music era, once recording had begun, there was only mono signal technology, so there was really any need to figure out which track was positioned where, but now with our stereophonic technology, we can pan and shift our music’s shape endlessly.
Panning must be done with serious consideration and you should always refer to other successfully mastered tracks featuring panning to get a better understand of how to go about using the feature for yourself with the correct methods and ratio settings…

If the term “translation”—which is absent from all Indian languages in its Western etymological sense—is taken to represent anuvad, tarjuma, bhashantar, rupantar, teeka, vivartnam, etc., for convenience, it can easily be said that India boasted a dynamic, self-renewing and evolving tradition of translation until the early 20th century, when, under the influence of colonial discourse and romantic notions of fidelity, equivalence and frosty anxieties of what gets lost in translation have taken root. Simple questions of who can best translate poetry, what is the ideal level of language proficiency to undertake translation, what language to translate into and from, etc., have begun to dominate the discourse around literary translation, such as to suggest that the translation took place. between languages and cultures on an equal footing, and that the exercise was devoid of power politics. I too bought into this theory and early in my career fiercely translated mainstream Gujarati literature, partly out of naivety, partly out of a desire to climb the academic ladder. Among other things, my translations confirmed my upper-class, male majority worldview and reinforced a proud identity as an heir to a rich cultural heritage. But in 2002, time stood still and the ontological shift in the life of this translator occurred.
READ ALSO : world of translations | Beyond Booker: Our World in Their Words
The horrors of Godhra and the massacre that followed made me rethink the role of translation in a society fractured not only religiously but also linguistically. Shaken and sickened by the literary response to the wave of violence, I embarked on the project of translating Arun Kolatkar’s long poem Sarpa Satra (2004) in Gujarati. Although I have written at length elsewhere about the politics of this translation, the rendering was in an entirely alternative theoretical space – a space of mourning. One thing became clear to me. Translation was not a value-neutral exercise taking place in an ideological vacuum. A translator, located at the intersection of several discourses in a contested plurilingual and postcolonial terrain, proved to be a vector of power and he had to decide in which direction it flowed, towards the powerful or the powerless, towards the oppressed or the oppressors. Disillusioned and deeply suspicious of literary depictions of the state, its people and its past, I embarked on a frenzy of reading the literary and cultural histories of Gujarat, from above and below, in the hope to come across alternatives and subversions. And I stumbled upon myself, when I came across the short story by Dalit writer Dalpat Chauhan The payback, which challenged the zeitgeist of 20th century Gujarat, the invincibility of its spirit and its proud agrarian identity. The story is a subversive version of the novel by prominent Gujarati writer Pannalal Patel Manavi ni Bhavai (Endurance: A Funny Saga), which, published on the eve of Indian independence, won the author the prestigious Jnanpith Prize in 1985. The defining theme of the novel, from which the English translation probably derives its title, is the overwhelming agrarian angst voiced by the protagonist Kalu, when he queues for charity grain during the Great Indian Famine of 1899-1900. He says, “It’s not really the hunger, but the begging to quench it, that humiliates.” In his story, Chauhan develops the theme within a caste framework and brilliantly shows how during the famine the impoverished, starving, upper-caste villagers abandoned their caste inhibitions and showed up under cover of night at the doorstep. untouchables to beg. sun-dried meat from carcasses. As Chauhan’s story subverted collective memory, underscored gaps in popular narrative and silenced it, it also reclaimed an alternative memory – the memory of the vulture – that had been rejected at the margins for its harshness. Going through the immense corpus of his literary production, through the hermeneutics of a vulture of lived realities – traversed by daily humiliations and unspeakably brutal caste violence – the translator in me has emerged from his cultural cocoon. I realized the staggering scale of blood-chilling atrocities, colossal injustice and heartbreaking dehumanization that my ancestors had accumulated in a community over thousands of years. It looked genocidal in proportion. Once again, I decided to enter the space of mourning to translate the works of Chauhan. But now the stakes were high, almost Himalayan.

How to deal with questions of aesthetics, experience and epistemology? Raised within the conceptual triad of Satyam, Sivam, Sundaramand accustomed to the aesthetics of dhwani and ouchityaI was troubled by the prospect of capturing the quintessence of the Dalit experience – the materiality of untouchability and the consequent designation of the Dalit as the impure and impure Other – “through a painstaking chronicling of the smallest detail of life. language in foul language, impure and uncivil” (Limbale, 2004: 12). The roots of the non-canonical and counter-hegemonic aesthetics of Dalit literature lie in a unique epistemological foundation of Dalit consciousness, intimate and daily with prakriti, as well as through the experience of colonization and exploitation. At the same time, a recurring theme in Dalit epistemology related to a radical anti-caste ethic; a relentless questioning of caste irrationality, labor exploitation and the denial of Dalit humanity. You can certainly imagine what all of this would have meant to an upper-caste urban man who had been trained to believe that caste was a thing of the past. That aside, my biggest challenge was accessing and understanding what political scientist Gopal Guru calls the “everyday social unfolding” in a Dalit text – the whole of smell, sound, taste and touch that are unique to Dalit social life, and the distinctive and differential associations they carry for dialectical socialities. If the question: “Can a Savarna translate Dalit literature?” wasn’t daunting enough, the question of who “can” translate it stared at me hard. My hand began to tremble at the shady dynamics of the cultural economy of English translations of Dalit texts – exhibited by poet and editor Yogesh Maitreya – where everything but the source text was Savarna. These are all valid questions to consider while trying to build a social imaginary.

What to do? Desperate and restless, I began to squirm as I searched for a way to imagine a collective future that might avoid reducing social life to essentialized identities of various kinds. The pandemic has helped by extending the “tortuous semantics of tactility” (V. Gita, 2009: 97) across the hierarchical caste order, and directed the fear of death hidden in the act of “touching and recoiling (V. Gita) body from the Other to the Self. It gave me the experience of untouchability, albeit vicariously. For an epistemological shift, I decided to travel through the 1,000 year old socio-cultural history of the Dalits of Gujarat, which led me to the story of Veer Mayo, a Dalit cultural icon who bravely sacrificed his life to ensure the dignity and humanity of his community. in the 12th century. The appalling 19th century practice of sacrificing Dalit children in times of epidemic to appease the epidemic goddess, the tireless struggles of Dalits to enter schools, buses, hotels and temples, the injustices inflicted during land reforms and the gory details of the anti-reservation riots of the 1980s, proved to be a few highlights in the saga of suffering the community had endured. Reading Dalit literature exposed me to a disturbing story that was missing in mainstream sociological and historical accounts. After such a thorough debriefing, it began to seem possible to me to break into Dalit Gujarati society, through a secondary act of witnessing – the act of attentive, empathetic and conscientious listening/reading. The final challenge was to understand the alternative discursiveness and poetics of Chauhan’s work, and map them, equally poignantly, to translation. An arduous task, almost anthropological in its approach. Long discussions with Chauhan on the phone followed – thorny discussions about the shape, feel and symbolic characteristics of the objects in his texts, the terms of the social contract the Dalits had with the village proper, the specifics and justification of the Dalit rituals – not only religious, but also social – such as the skinning method of a carcass, the treatment of a skin, the medical system, etc. While this gave me an entrance into a new experiential universe, I suddenly realized that without knowing it, I had started to learn and use the Dalit dialect of North Gujarat in my daily life. Emboldened, and much to the chagrin of my traditional poet friends, I returned the poems of Arun Kolatkar Pi-dog, Garbage Song and Boomtown Lepers’ Band in
the Dalit dialect, in my book-length Gujarati translation Poems by Kala Ghodato emphasize the direct correspondence between a dog, a scum and an untouchable, in Hindu orthodoxy.
To translate is to be human. one life is not enough to realize the humanity of people, oppressed by caste, sexuality, religion, gender, language and ethnicity.
Within a decade I was ready with English translations of selected Chauhan stories and his novel vultures. The difficulties I encountered with magazine editors and publishers ranged from the sublime to the wacky: the defamiliarizing style of translation, the wacky idiom, the scatology, the unreality of plain, commercial narrative “the news doesn’t not sell”. Dwelling on it would require a tome. But, after all these years, what has stuck with me – something that gnaws at me with tremendous pain and despair – is the staggering scale of the violence to which the Dalits have been subjected. His unimaginable brutality and inhumanity sickens me. While I was translating the climactic episode into vultures– in which Chauhan gives a searing description of Iso’s murdered body – a wooden peg used to tie a horse in a shed is hammered into his back – in deep anguish I pressed the tip of my finger to the head of a needle, and I realized what it was to be human. Translating is being human, and one lifetime is not enough to realize the humanity of people who are oppressed because of their caste, religion, gender, sexuality, language and ethnicity.

PRINCETON — While football teams are often said to be a reflection of their coach, the Princeton Tigers appear to be taking that aphorism literally.
Coach Bob Surace — himself an undersized and overachieving center when he played for the Tigers — has, along with offensive line coach Eddy Morrissey, put together a front five that despite not featuring a starter heavier than 285 pounds has paved the way for 1,057 yards of total offense through its first two games.
“Nobody had a bigger chip on their shoulder than me,” said Surace, a three-year starter named First Team All-Ivy in 1989. “I was a 212-pound center my sophomore year and had a really good season. I want guys who are tough and athletic. I’ll take the guy who plays with a chip on their shoulder on every play rather than the most talented guy.”
Part of the reason the relatively undersized Tigers have had so much success moving the football is they’ve been running an up-tempo offense that makes it difficult for the defense to substitute. They’ve averaged nearly 80 plays a game, so Princeton feels it can gain back whatever it’s giving up in size through athleticism and endurance.
“I’m not the biggest lineman, so I’m probably suited best for this offense,” said left tackle Spencer Huston, who at 6-foot-4 weighs 270 pounds. “It’s great to run 80 to 100 plays in a game. It really gets me excited to see the d-line sucking wind when I’m feeling fine. It’s a definite advantage for us to play fast and physical all the time.”
Huston, a junior who played in a similar offense in high school at Delbarton, was named Second Team All-Ivy last season. Another reason for the Tigers’ success, however, is they no longer have to rely on Huston and seniors like right guard Max Coale and center Joe Gross to carry the entire load. With the deepest squad he’s had at Princeton, Surace has been able to rotate in some of the second unit to keep his players fresh.
“I like the fact that we’re a fast-paced offense and we’re playing eight or nine offensive linemen every week,” Surace said. “I think that’s a bonus. Most teams run 60 plays. Spencer is going to get his 60 or 75 plays, but somebody else is going to get a couple series. I think that has a great wear-down effect on the defense.”
Because most of the line has been together for at least three seasons, they are also further along in terms of communication than they’ve been in Surace’s previous three seasons. That was especially apparent to the guys that saw it up close during fall camp.
“The o-line, especially during camp when we were going up against each other more, you definitely saw a change as far as how well they were working together,” junior linebacker Mike Zuelli said. “They were picking up blitzes, moving the line of scrimmage a lot better.”
All of that has added up to 78 points in the first two games — something Surace’s Jason Garrett-led teams of the late 1980s never matched. The total is the most since Dick Kazmaier’s Heisman Trophy-winning season of 1952.
“The beauty of being a head coach is you get to pick the style of guys that you want,” Surace said. “We talk about be smart, tough, disciplined and team oriented, and these guys epitomize that.”

Apple to co-develop 80 million kWh p/a solar energy projects in China
Thu 16 Apr 2015
Apple Inc. will partner with Silicon Valley-based solar energy experts SunPower to develop two massive solar energy farms in the Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture (aka Ngaba or Aba).
The projects are currently under construction, and comprise Ruoergai Huanju Ecological Energy Co., Ltd. (Zioge) in Ruoergai County and Hongyuan Huanju Ecological Energy Co., Ltd in Hongyuan County. The Hongyuan plant is already contributing 2MW to the region’s grid via the SunPower Low Concentration Photovoltaic System Performance (LPTV) tracker.
The two projects, the first solar initiatives in the Aba region and expected to be completed by the end of this year, are intended to furnish 80 million kWh annually with minimal impact on the surrounding ecosystem, and will utilise SunPower’s ‘Light on Land’ [PDF] approach, which seeks to build on previously disturbed land such as rangeland, brownfield or fringe agricultural acreage, under strict land management practices.
In an official release by the company SunPower president and CEO Tom Werner said “This is a tremendous groundbreaking collaboration, bringing together a diverse group of experienced partners from different parts of the globe to build renewable solar energy ventures that contribute to the local economy and the environment. Our unique, existing partnerships in China allowed for these projects to come to fruition quickly,” Werner added that the new projects would provide clean renewable energy to the region – in itself a challenge for geographical reasons – whilst protecting the Aba landscape and allowing farming to continue.
The set-up of the solar plants uses single-axis tracking technology to aim reflected light from ranks of parabolic mirrors onto SunPower’s Maxeon cells [PDF] – currently the most efficient non-research cells in the world.
In January of this year approval was given for Apple to build a 2,900 acre solar farm for its new ring-shaped headquarters in Cupertino, with the company devoting a committed $848 million (£569 million) to its solar energy project. The 25-year commitment with semiconductor and photovoltaic manufacturing company First Solar was lauded as the solar industry’s largest ever commercial agreement.
In 2013 Apple committed $1 billion to develop an 18-20MW solar farm on 167 acres in northern Nevada, intended to provide 43.5mn kWh to the Sierra Pacific Power grid in order to power an Apple data centre in Reno. Additionally Apple has pursued solar energy projects – usually concerned with data centre plants – in North Carolina and in Mesa, Arizona.

Jumbo snowblowers from CT going to assist Buffalo with snow removal
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) is sending equipment and personnel to assist in the clean-up of the historic snowfalls in Buffalo, N.Y., where accumulations have topped five feet, with more snow in the forecast.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced the assistance to neighboring New York state on late Wednesday.
“This early and massive snowfall has paralyzed much of New York and while we can, we should help our neighbors to the west,” Malloy said. “It is reassuring that we have cooperative, reciprocal arrangements in times of need, similar to what we try to do with major power outages and even fires and other emergencies in the region.”
Jumbo snowblowers, trucks, personnel
ConnDOT is sending three jumbo snowblowers to upstate New York along with plow trucks and other equipment, including 22 ConnDOT staff maintainers — enough to operate the equipment around the clock. The snowblowers are mounted on traditional loaders and, when in operation, are followed by plow trucks to assist in clearing roads.
The state of Connecticut purchased 12 of the large snowblowers in October 2013. They can move 1,500 tons of snow per hour.
The trucks hauling the equipment will leave Connecticut early on the morning of Thursday, Nov. 20, and should be in the Buffalo area by noon and will remain there until at least Monday, Nov. 24.
The equipment is being offered for use in New York under the regional Emergency Management Assistance Compact.
Malloy: CT prepared for snow here
Malloy said that Connecticut is well-prepared for the onslaught of winter, with 632 snowplow trucks ready to go and ample supplies of salt and the liquid salt-brine material used to pre-treat roads and bridges before a storm (some of which has already been used this fall).
ConnDOT also has some 200 private snowplow contractors on call in the event they are needed to augment state forces.

What inspired you to write your first book? Again it was a book I read by a great author and I thought this is what I have been dying to write. So I sat down and wrote a book.
Do you have a specific writing style? I’m a play it by the seat of my pants type of writer. I’ve plotted out my books and done all sorts of things to make my writing process easier. But in the end, when I write I just let the characters do what they want and I just write. I think the one thing I do do that isn’t a play it by ear kind of thing is a try to write every day. But if I’m not feeling it, and I don’t get any words on the page for a day I don’t kick myself for it. Some day’s I write 5k and some days I don’t get any words on the page.
How did you come up with the title? Aghh some people stress over synopsis, or blurbs and I am thinking about those and jotting notes down as I write the book and during the editing process for my blurb and synopsis so I don’t have a problem with that. But the title… that I always struggle with. I go to my kids for ideas, my husband and friends and of course my fans. So believe it or not titles are hard for me.
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp? Little things here and there. There is a redemption piece in Reaper Mine that is important.
How much of the book is realistic? That’s a tough question, it’s all fiction but set in modern day so that’s about all I can say about that.
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life? Nope.
What books have most influenced your life most?
The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley
The Darkangle Trilogy by: Meredith Ann Pierce
What book are you reading now? Queen of Shadow by: Sarah J Maas
Are there any new authors that have grasped your interest? Nothing of interest right now.
What are your current projects? I am working on finishing book 4, and have started book 5. Both will be available next year.
What would you like my readers to know? I nope they enjoyed this fantastic interview I really enjoyed answering all the questions. Reaper Mine was really fun to write it is full of complex characters and an interesting plot line. I hope they run out and buy it. Have a fantastic day!

In the factor world of investing, Low Volatility and Quality have been commonly referred to as defensive factors. The following is an examination of the performance of the S&P 500 Quality Index and the S&P 500 Low Volatility Index compared to the S&P 500 during the last 3 equity bear markets. The graphs and data in this report are generated from the Optimal Asset Management’s Factor Allocator Tool.
Before we examine this performance it is important to understand why Quality and Low Volatility have been considered defensive factors. There are multiple reasons why they have been considered defensive but here are three good reasons. First of all, they have historically exhibited less volatility as measured by standard deviation on a consistent basis. The graph below compares the annualized volatitity over the past 1, 3, 5, and 10 year periods ending July 31, 2020 of the S&P 500 Index, S&P 500 Quality Index, and S&P 500 Low Volatility Index.

The People’s Liberation Army Navy’s (PLAN) next-generation aircraft carrier, designated Type 002, will likely be fitted with an advanced electromagnetic catapult system for launching aircraft, according to Chinese military experts.
Chinese engineers have allegedly successfully developed a new integrated propulsion system (IPS)–“a medium-voltage, direct-current transmission network”—which would allow more power for a catapult assisted take-off but arrested recovery (CATOBAR) aircraft launch system similar to the U.S. Navy’s electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) without having to resort to nuclear power, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported on November 1.
A PLAN aircraft carrier equipped with EMALS would substantially boost the PLANs carrier force’s combat power. “CATOBAR aircraft launch systems put less strain on the airframe of planes during takeoff reducing maintenance cost in the long run and also allows carrier-based aircraft to carry a heavier weapons payload,” I explained elsewhere. “Furthermore, CATOBAR launch systems increase the sortie rates of carrier air wings by allowing a faster landing and takeoff rate.”
Among other things, it would allow the PLAN to launch including aerial tankers, airborne early warning aircraft, anti-submarine warfare (ASW) planes, and transport aircraft from the carrier’s deck.
The Type 002 could become the first non-Western carrier to be equipped with a CATOBAR aircraft launch system. (The Indian Navy’s new aircraft carrier, the 65,000-ton supercarrier INS Vishal, will also likely feature CATOBAR technology. However, the carrier construction program has been hampered by delays and it is likely that the Type 002 will be commissioned before the INS Vishal.) The PLAN has reportedly been evaluating CATOBAR systems, one steam and the other electromagnetic, at the Xincheng Aircraft Training Center.
The PLA has run “hundreds of tests” using the EMALS with Shenyang J-15 multirole fighter jets, a variant of the fourth-generation Sukhoi Su-33 twin-engines air superiority fighter, Yin Zhuo, a senior researcher at the PLA Naval Equipment Research Center, said in an interview with China Central Television on November 3.
According to PLA naval expert, senior Chinese military is keen to use the new IPS for the carrier. “China doesn’t need to copy the United States and use nuclear reactors to support EMALS and other energy-hungry weapons on the ship, because it now has more advanced technologies to solve the problem,” the expert claims.
“China now has mature technologies … [and] the PLA is narrowing the gap with the U.S.,” he added. The PLAN’s top naval engineer Rear Admiral Ma Weiming, claims that the Chinese EMALS variant will be superior to U.S. technology. The U.S. Navy’s next-generation of aircraft carriers, the nuclear-powered Gerald R. Ford-class, is slated to be equipped with EMALS, despite objections to its installation by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The new IPS would reportedly allow the Type 002 to be armed with high-energy consuming laser weapon systems and electromagnetic guns. The new carrier will purportedly have a displacement of around 85,000 tons. Construction of the carrier allegedly started already in February 2016. However, senior Chinese military officials have acknowledged multiple delays in the carrier program and there have been some indications that the program has been halted.

The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and Minority Rights Group International, present the alternative report submitted by FIDH affiliated member in Nigeria, Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO), at the occasion of the examination of Nigeria by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (Committee)  and welcome the concluding observations addressed by the Committee to the Governement of Nigeria.
Indeed, the concluding observations issued by the Committee largely reflect the main areas of concern put forward by CLO in its alternative report to the Committee. The experts expressed concern over the adverse effects on the environment of ethnic communities of large scale exploitation of natural resources in the Delta Region and other Rivers States, in particular Ogoni areas. All affected communities must be properly consulted and the Nigerian government must adopt a legislative framework setting forth « the obligation to abide by strict environmental standards as well as fair and equitable revenue distribution ». In addition, the State party must conduct investigation into the numerous allegations of human rights violations by law enforcement officials and private security personnel in these same areas.
In relation to the application of the sharia in Northern states, the Committee reiterated that Muslim women should not receive harsher sentences than other Nigerians. The State party must comply with the requirement of equal treatment before tribunals and all other organs administering justice.

VE3KSR went on the air July 1 1969 from the Baden Hill, 5 miles West of Kitchener. This hill was left behind by the glaciers as they receded following the ice age leaving a nice mound of glacial sand 1,535 feet ASL.
The first repeater was built from modules of surplus General Electric Progress Line radios with the antenna being a commercial 6db collinear modified to 2 metres using rings of Aluminium foil. This photo shows Ron Schindler VE3DXI installing the original antenna on a cross arm used at that time by the local cable TV company. The repeater was located in a surplus steel shack that was in need of substantial repairs.
In the early 70's the cable company proceeded to demolish the tin shack and remove the tower structure. KSR then proceeded to build it's own concrete block building and relocated it's antenna to the top of a 200 foot commercial tower on the site.
Originally founded as The Kitchener-Stratford Repeater Association, the KSR repeater was funded by the resale of donated commercial FM rigs from CKCO as and donations from the founding charter members.
Under the leadership of John Riddell VE3AMZ, VE3KSR was the first repeater in Canada to use touchtone signalling for it's command and control. At the time, the most popular repeater frequency was 146.94/34. Most rigs of the era where at most two channel crystal control and most were single.
This KSR Touchtone command logic allowed the repeater to be switched between 37/97 and 34/94. As well the repeater could be commanded OFF and when it was timed out, commanded back ON.

"home is with your family"
all my best friends are at SA, and i’m the only at Poly. transitioning from such a small school where i could go anywhere on campus and know everyones name to a place where it’s so big and scary and i don’t even know half the people is really tough for me. my family began at St. Lucy then as i got to know more people it extended to SA. everyone i love is there, and it makes me home sick. they’re more than my best friends, they’re my family. as weird and retarded our family can be, i wouldn’t have it any other way. i saw my family a couple weeks ago at their football game. and those couple hours i spent with them were the best. i wish it could be like that everyday. it makes me wish i could transfer so i can be with them. Poly isn’t that bad, but i’d rather be with my family. i’m so home sick.
i’m so jealous of my best friend..
for once i just want to say what i feel even if it does hurt other people. not because i want to hurt them, but because i want to set myself free from everything i’ve ever held back.
A drop in the ocean.
A change in the weather.
I was hoping that you and me might end up together.

Hamlin Middle School's mascot replacement cost CCISD at least $15,000
The replacement of Hamlin Middle School's rebel mascot cost Corpus Christi ISD at least $15,981, according to an amendment to the district's general operating fund approved by trustees Monday.
The amount accounts for the replacement of athletic equipment branded with the former rebel mascot, according to the budget amendment.
The Hamlin Rebel mascot was replaced with a hawk earlier this year after Corpus Christi Independent School District officials said that community concerns prompted the swap.
The Hamlin Rebel is a portrayal of a Confederate Rebel soldier in a blue uniform.
District officials took the mascot and logo down from the school website Sept. 27, days after an email was sent to the board regarding the mascot.
Hamlin students, families, and staff cast 666 ballots to choose a new mascot Jan. 23 through 26. The Hawks prevailed, receiving 372 votes to the Sharks' 294 votes.
District spokeswoman Leanne Winkler Libby said earlier this year the rebel was not on the ballot.
In February, Winkler Libby estimated the initial cost to order signs, shirts, and the like was about $5,000, adding corporate sponsors for related items and the school also acquired a grant to cover a portion of the costs.
