Z200 PV Analyzer
Smart PV Troubleshooting and Testing
The PV Analyzer Z200 is a portable and battery powered instrument used to detect and locate faults in strings of series connected photovoltaic modules. The instrument is connected to the string terminals e.g. at the string inverter or combiner box and also to the ground reference for the PV installation.
Once connected and activated, it will perform impedance spectroscopy between any two of the three connected terminals, as well as measure the terminal voltages and currents flowing under various DC loads introduced by the instrument. By combining the results from these various measurements using the on-board computer, critical faults in the system can be defined and positioned.

Since unveiling the Apple Watch back in September, the Cupertino giant has been focused on teasing the device to the financial, fashion and tech press alike.
And as Mashable Chief Correspondent Lance Ulanoff helpfully outlined, we have an idea as to what we can expect to see from the event.
But this is Apple. Which means there are always rumors. The Apple Watch event is no different. Along with the main event are rumors about other things Apple could show off or reveal at its big press spectacle.
Being the consummate Apple watcher (no pun intended, truly) that I am, I figured it was time to run down the list of rumors, followed by how likely we feel each item is to show up.
The gold Apple Watch Edition will cost at least $10,000
Rumor: The solid gold Apple Watch Edition will cost five figures. And up.
When Apple announced the Apple Watch last fall, the only price the company shared was that it will "start" at $349.
Most of us have taken that to mean that the Apple Watch Sport will be the version to debut at that price point. The Apple Watch, which has stainless steel rather than aluminum, will be next, followed by the 18 carat gold Apple Watch Edition model.
Although there are guesses about what the Apple Watch will cost (we think it'll be starting at $499), the real game has been to guess just how much Apple will sell the Apple Watch Edition for.
John Gruber at Daring Fireball initially predicted Apple would sell the Apple Watch Edition for $5,000.
He has since gone on to change his prediction, assessing that the fanciest of watches will "start around $10,000."
In the gadget world, a $10,000 device seems insane. You could buy a car for that (or at least a tricked-out Mac Pro and 4K display). In the watch world, however, $10,000 for a gold watch actually seems reasonable.
If Apple really is going after the luxury watch market — and not just the gadget market — the pricing could make sense.
Accuracy Rating: We'll give this an 80% accuracy rating. Gold watches are expensive and if Apple is going to try to sell to the watch aficionado crowd, it should probably be pricing its goods on-par with where they are at.
We'll also guess that counterfeit gold Apple Watch Editions will be on the streets of Chinatown in New York City within days of the announcement. They won't work with your iPhone and the gold might make your wrist green, but from afar, you can look special.
Rumor: Apple will launch iOS 8.2 alongside the Apple Watch.
This rumor seems pretty solid. The Apple Watch will need a software update and iOS 8.2, which has been seeded to developers for quite some time, will fill that void.
Interestingly, Apple is also beta testing iOS 8.3, which brings in some additional features, including new diverse emoji. This leads us to think Apple might launch iOS 8.2 before the Apple Watch officially arrives and iOS 8.3 not long after it ships.
Accuracy Rating: We're 100% confident Apple will release iOS 8.2 with or right before the Apple Watch hits stores. We're 90% certain we could see the update hit phones and tablets as early as next week.
Rumor: Apple will release updated Broadwell-based MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Retina notebooks.
It's been almost a year since Apple last updated its notebook line. The MacBook Air last got a speed bump at the end of April 2014, with the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina displays last getting updated at the end of July 2014.
Part of the reason it has taken so long for Apple to refresh its notebook line comes down to Intel, whose Broadwell mobile chipset was delayed.
Alleged screenshot evidence of new, Broadwell-based MacBook Air machines in 11-inch and 13-inch varieties appeared earlier this week, which only bolsters the idea that Apple will give the Mac a brief shout-out on Monday before going full-force on the Apple Watch.
Accuracy Rating: We think it's 90% likely that Apple will update its notebook line on Monday. That said, we expect these updates to be spec bumps only — moving to Broadwell and maybe slightly improved discrete graphics options for the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina.
MacBook Air Redesign
Rumor: Apple will reveal a brand new, wholly redesigned 12-inch MacBook Air.
This has led some individuals to think that the new device might share stage time with the Apple Watch at Monday's event.
The new MacBook Air will reportedly be fanless, have a retina display and a single USB-C port.
Accuracy Rating: Although we think it is highly probably that Apple will release at least one update to its general MacBook Air/MacBook Pro line, we put the likelihood of a brand-new MacBook Air redesign at 30%.
We just don't see Apple taking time to move the focus off of the Apple Watch with something as important as a new MacBook Air.
It's true that Apple has used major events to show-off Mac redesigns in the past, but this just doesn't feel right. Instead, we expect the new MacBook Air (or whatever it is called) to make its debut in June at WWDC.
New Apple TV
Rumor: Apple will finally update its Apple TV.
It's been three years since the third-generation Apple TV was released by Apple. Three years.
Moreover, the Apple TV interface is starting to feel stale. Plus the hardware could use a refresh, if only to make AirPlay mirroring even better and to bring something like Continuity and Hand-off to the Apple TV world.
But beyond the set-top box world, the OTT revolution is off and running with an increasing number of television viewers turning to over-the-top streaming services for more of their content.
Could Apple finally be prepared to release a new Apple TV along with a Sling TV-like service?
Accuracy Rating: We think there is a 15% change Apple could release an update Apple TV. Without a doubt the product needs an update, we just don't see it happening now.
Rumor: Apple will release the long-rumored 12-inch iPad Pro.
Personally, I have a hard time believing Apple is even planning on releasing a 12-inch iPad. Sure, it's possible that this is a device that its partner IBM might want for the enterprise, but the truth is, tablets of that size tend to become unwieldy.
Plus, it seems like Apple releasing an iPad that is trying to be a laptop would be making the same mistake Microsoft made with the Surface and Surface 2. Microsoft finally found success with the Surface Pro 3 by selling it for what it is, a laptop that, in a pinch, could be used as a touch-screen device.
Apple has been very clear that it intends to keep iOS and OS X separate.
But even if you do believe that an iPad Pro is coming, Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal are both saying that Apple can't ship the device until fall.
Accuracy Rating: 0%. You will not see a new iPad at the Apple Watch event. Period.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on what Apple will and will not reveal at Monday's event. Be sure to let us know what you think of our predictions in the comments.

A 19-YEAR-OLD Byford man has been jailed for seven months for his involvement in two police pursuits in two days.
In the first he drove at more than 110km/h in a residential street and in the second his car spun out of control on Tonkin Highway.
The man faced Armadale Magistrates Court yesterday charged with offences committed in July.
On July 28, the man was pursued by a marked police vehicle on South Western Highway while he had two passengers in the car.
When the police vehicle turned on its lights and siren, he refused to stop, at times coming close to colliding with the police vehicle.
He drove down the wrong side of the road for 50m and drove at more than 110km/h down a residential street.
Neither the man nor the car was found that night.
He was arrested the next day following the second incident and taken to Mundijong Police Station where he made a full admission.
On July 29, he heading west on Tonkin Highway when he accelerated away from police, going double the speed limit before he lost control and spun 180 degrees.
The police prosecutor said the accused told police “he’d managed to lose one police car, so thought he could lose another”.
The roads were wet during both pursuits.
The man’s defence lawyer said he recognised he had set a bad example for the young people around him.
The 19-year-old pleaded guilty to four charges, two of failing to comply with a direction to stop and two of escaping a police pursuit.
The magistrate sentenced the man to seven months in jail and fined him $5000.
His license was disqualified for two years.
The magistrate said he hoped the incidents would be just a blip in the young man’s life and he would slow down and change his behaviour.

Tanzanian ferry disaster highlights lack of boat safety
Our readers have their say about Tanzania's ferry disaster, Saudi Arabia's railway and panic on an Indian airline
I was appalled to read your sad report More than 100 dead in Tanzania ferry capsize on Lake Victoria (September 21).
Ferries are a common mode of transport in many countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Countries like Tanzania, Zanzibar, Myanmar, Philippines, Brazil and India all have ferry services in their interiors. In countries on the Amazon like Peru and Brazil, there are not enough roads connecting villages located in forests. Ferries are the only mode of transport in these dense river states. The ride on the ferry becomes very rough during monsoons when it is raining heavily.
I have had to travel on them occasionally when working in the rural markets. I was always petrified for I observed that many ferries did not have adequate lifejackets and were very crowded. Many also carried animals and birds like sheep, and chicken.
Ferries which carry passengers should be required by law to carry lifeboats for all passengers. The transport should be highly regulated and should undergo periodic safety inspections. Government inspectors should be posted at all ferry operating points to ensure that safety norms are never flouted.
Rajendra Aneja, Dubai
Air passenger safety must always come first
In reference to the recent mid-air drama on Jet Air in India (Jet Air flight returns to Mumbai with passengers suffering nosebleeds after ‘crew pressure error’, September 20), I was concerned to read that purely because of the negligence of crew members, who failed to flick a switch in the cabin, passengers had to suffer nosebleeds and a few were more seriously affected.
This latest development from the Indian airline should be investigated thoroughly. Authorities should inquire and suspend crew members who are responsible for this.
Air travel of late has become extremely tough for passengers. The aviation body should take proper action and warn Jet Air to ensure such incidents don’t re-occur in future. This is a sad state of affairs.
K Ragavan, Bengaluru
Rail project will help pilgrims worship safely and with ease
The Association of British Hujjaj (Pilgrims) UK would like to extend its congratulations to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the opening of the Haramain high speed rail on October 1.
We congratulate the minister of transport, Dr Nabil bin Muhammed Al Amoudi, on the hard work and effort which has been made to facilitate Hajj and Umrah arrangements for pilgrims from around the world.
This prestigious project will significantly improve transport connections between Jeddah, Makkah and Medina and will especially ease the strain on the Makkah-Medina highway.
The journey of more than 300 kilometres takes more than five hours.
The long distance covered by drivers in hot weather, sometimes suffering from lack of sleep and rest, can be lethal.
Our association is optimistic that the Haramain railway project will help reduce the number of accidents and enable millions of pilgrims to complete their journey in two hours instead of six, safely and in comfort.

1.1 SIZE, LENGTH, AND WALL THICKNESS
Technical Industries Inc., VisonArray Ultrasonic Inspection Systems are designed to inspect oilfield tubulars, ASTM, and other tubulars ranging in sizes from 1.99 inch to 30 inch OD, with couplings. Length capabilities range from 5 feet through 60 feet. Wall thickness minimums and maximums are a function of transducer frequency, shear wave angle, and pipe outside diameter. With the VisonArray inspection head design, transducers are easily interchanged with few limitations on pipe size, shear wave angle, and transducer frequency. This design allows quick changeovers to accommodate a variety of wall thickness.
In the recommended standard "Full Scan" configuration, the transducers are oriented to provide 360° flaw detectability within 14 (fourteen) inches from the ends and wall thickness measurements within 2 (two) inches of the pipe ends. Variable speed controls for pipe rotation and gantry travel allow for easy and accurate control of the inspection helix.
Transducers can be selected to produce various degrees of detectability and sensitivity. With proper transducer selection, all VisonArray systems are capable of repeatedly detecting small reflectors on both the I.D. and O.D. surfaces. These small reflectors include 1/8" diameter 5% round bottom pits and 1/2" x 0.010" x 5 % EDM notches at any orientation.
1.4 PRODUCTION SPEEDS
Production speeds are a function of numerous variables, some of which are: transducer size and frequency, material size, material length, material condition, system sensitivity settings, number and severity of flaws exceeding threshold, pipe straightness, etc. Under normal condition, using the recommended "full scan", non-stop scanning speeds average approximately 30 (thirty) seconds per inch of outside diameter.
EXAMPLE: 30 sec. x 7"=Approx. 3.5 minutes per 40 foot length.
Using the "mill scan", non-stop scanning speeds average approximately 10 (ten) seconds per inch of outside diameter.
EXAMPLE: 10 sec. x 7" =Approx. 70 seconds per 40 foot length.
For complete cycle time, using the standard loading and unloading procedures, approximately 1 (one) minute is added for loading and unloading.
1.5 ULTRASONIC TEST INSTRUMENTS
The VisonArray test systems have twenty channel flaw/thickness capability. Each channel has a maximum repetition rate of 2,000 pulses per second. This system provides a "True Systems Approach" to ultrasonic testing of oilfield tubular goods.
The VisonArray test systems utilize specially designed, custom built transducers. The crystal is set in a cylindrical housing and pre-set to a fixed, specified angle at manufacturing. Many different sizes, frequencies and angles can be utilized to accommodate most any need.
1.7 TRANSDUCER HEAD ASSEMBLY
The transducer head assemblies are uniquely designed and field-proven for ruggedness and continuous production service. Construction is of corrosion-resistant material. High-density plastic wear-shoes protect the transducers and contain the couplant to provide the desired water gap between the transducer and the pipe surface. Orientation and vertical position of the transducers are adjustable. With the unique VisonArray head design, transducers are easily interchanged with few limitations on size, angle and frequency. This design allows for quick set-ups and/or changeovers to accommodate a variety of needs.

Deeply rooted in the traditions of the Great Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburg, Tennessee — along with nearby Pigeon Forge and Sevierville — brings together stunning natural beauty, family-friendly attractions, and southern charm.
There’s something to do every hour of the day, whether it’s strolling the quaint small town to shop arts and crafts by morning, or digging your fork into Southern cuisine by dinner — paired with local wine and spirits. Fill your stay with adventure by walking among the wonders of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, watching the world fly by at Dollywood and other amusement parks, or grabbing a seat at a mesmerizing live performance.
Booking a Gatlinburg vacation rental can provide a perfect home base for exploring all the area has to offer.
It’s all about Great Smoky Moutains National Park
Gatlinburg is the gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most-visited national park in the country. All of those visitors are onto something — the park offers 800 miles of hiking trails, scenic drives, and the chance to experience wildlife sightings, grand vistas, roaring waterfalls, and jaw-dropping beauty around every turn.
Outside of the park, take your pick of ways to explore the mountains. Enjoy a panoramic view on a chairlift or aerial tram ride, seek the thrill of whitewater rafting on the Pigeon River, bike the Cades Cove scenic loop, sail down a zip line, or find some of the finest fly fishing in the state. Winter brings its own adventure. As the snow sets in, you can fly down the slopes on skis or snow tubes at Ober Gatlinburg resort, which features an amusement park, alpine slide, and more for year-round fun.
You can also venture deep beneath the mountains to explore Tennessee’s famous caves. At Forbidden Caverns in Sevierville, experienced guides lead you past awe-inspiring formations, underground springs, and grottoes, complete with light shows.
Wander through charming downtown Gatlinburg
It’s easy to get around downtown Gatlinburg by foot or trolley. While you’re there, stroll the Parkway, lined with attractions, one-of-a-kind stores and galleries, and restaurants serving up Southern family fare ranging from pancakes to barbecue. You can also enjoy the views from the Riverwalk, which follows the Little Pigeon River through town, with plenty of gazebos and benches for scenic photo ops.
Visit Dollywood and other unique attractions
Dollywood, located in Pigeon Forge, is country superstar Dolly Parton’s ode to her native region (she was born and raised in Sevierville). At Dollywood, you can grip the handlebar and climb 20 stories high on the Lightning Rod coaster or splash your way down the Smoky Mountain River Rampage. You can also trade the adrenaline rush for a live show or find a peaceful moment at the spa.
While Dollywood may be the area’s most famous amusement park, it’s not the only one. There are plenty of places to ride roller coasters, Ferris wheels, and other thrill rides at parks including Rowdy Bear (the first mountain glider in the world), drive go-karts or ride the Skyflyer at The Track, and much more.
Aside from rides, you can visit Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, the 400-foot-high Gatlinburg Space Needle — offering 360-degree views of the town and mountains — mirror mazes, a wax museum, mini golf courses, haunted houses, and escape rooms.
Toast to the Great Smoky Mountains at a distillery or winery
While there is plenty in Gatlinburg to keep the kids happy, there’s no shortage of fun for adults, too. Get a taste of Appalachia at local breweries, wineries, and distilleries with tastings and tours. You can even try some (legal) moonshine, catch live music on the town, or dance the night away at a local watering hole like The Rampant Lion, a locally-loved spot for wine, pints, and Irish delicacies.
Listen to live music from Bluegrass to Broadway
Tennessee takes its music seriously, and you’ll have many options for hearing live musical performances in the Gatlinburg area. Experience Appalachia’s bluegrass heritage at venues and festivals or listen to live country at Ole Red, country star Blake Shelton’s restaurant and entertainment venue. Love Broadway-style entertainment? Check out vaudeville revue and musical comedy at the Sweet Fanny Adams Theatre — now celebrating its 42nd year — catch a musical variety performance at Smoky Mountain Opry, or see a show at one of several dinner theaters.
Support the Great Smoky arts and crafts community
Tennessee has a strong craft and artisan tradition, and you can take this artistry home in the form of mountain art, quilts, woodcarvings, leather goods, jewelry, metalwork, weaving, pottery, glass, and more. Stop at the many shops along Gatlinburg’s Parkway or follow the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Trail loop, featuring more than 100 local artisans.

The men's firsts had a big game today in the shape of the semi-finals of the District Cup at Peffermill. Taking on the might of Watsonians 2s, who are currently not far off the top of Central Division 1-which is to say a long way above us- the boys did a great job to only lose 4-1. Just yesterday, Watsons had put ten past a mid-table team in their own league!
Great performance guys. We're very proud of you.

(Sept. 1, 2016) The much anticipated SpeedWeekend 2016 is about to get underway at Speedway 660 in Geary, New Brunswick. One of Canada’s most prestigious short-track racing events will showcase the best Pro Stock and Sportsman drivers in eastern North America.
“We’ve had an unbelievable response from race teams for the Sportsman and Pro Stock races and without a doubt fans are going to see Atlantic Canada’s best racing of the year during SpeedWeekend”” said Speedway 660’s Max Roy. “We’re excited to have new marketing partners on board for the two big races and our staff and volunteers are working hard to prepare Speedway 660 for this weekend and to ensure race fans have a great experience.”SpeedWeekend provides large crowds with exciting racing action at Speedway 660. Fans and race teams from all over eastern North America, invade the little community of Geary, New Brunswick for Atlantic Canada’s biggest weekend of racing.
Almost 40 race teams have pre-registered for the McLaughlin Roof Trusses 250. A virtual who’s who from Speedway 660’s weekly Pro Stock Division, the Pro All Star Series and the Maritime Pro Stock Tour will attempt to qualify for the big race. Greg Fahey, the 2016 Re/Max Group Four Realty Pro Stock Champion, will lead the local contingent of drivers.
Cassius Clark, a two-time winner of the race, headlines drivers from south of the border, while Craig Slaunwhite, one of only two Nova Scotia drivers to win the race, will lead a strong group of drivers from the Parts for Trucks Tour, which also includes this year’s Atlantic Cat 250 winner Cole Butcher.Cole Butcher, from Porters Lake, Nova Scotia won the Parts for Trucks Pro Stock race at Speedway 660 last year. Cole also won this year’s Atlantic Cat 250 and will be looking for another 250 win on SpeedWeekend.
“The MacLaughlin Roof Trusses 250 is an open pro stock race and the competition is always fierce because we get the very best Maritime Pro Stock drivers and a strong group of Americans too” said Fahey. “I really enjoy racing against great competition like that and hopefully we can ride the momentum we had during the last month right into victory lane on Sunday night.”
Cassius Clark, who won the McLaughlin Roof Trusses 250 last year, will be back for another run. Ben Rowe, Joey Doiron, Johnny Clark, Glen Luce, Trevor Sanborn, Kirk Thibeau and Joey Polewarczyk are some of the other Americans making the trip to Speedway 660 this weekend.
“It’s one of the toughest races of the year and we’re looking forward to coming to 660 to try to win it in back to back years and for the third time over-all” said Cassius Clark. “I’ve raced against the Maritime Pro Stock Tour drivers a lot this year and they are very competitive and the Re/Max Pro Stock weekly drivers are really strong on their home track.”Cassius Clark, a two time 250 winner, was back in the Geary Woods in early June and went to victory lane in this year’s Best of the Best 150.

Number of tracker mortgage overcharging cases tops 21,100
State’s top five mortgage lenders issue updates after political pressure
KBC also said it anticipates that up to an addition 200 to 600 borrowers may be impacted.

The Central Bank said it remains in dispute with some banks about the extent of tracker mortgage overcharging as the State’s five largest home lenders revealed that the number of impacted borrowers may now be as high as 21,134.
The regulator on Wednesday signalled that it will notify lenders of the groups of mortgage borrowers it believes should also be included for refunds and compensation.
“It is now incumbent on the heads of the banks to ensure that all affected customers are identified and to ensure that redress and compensation are delivered swiftly to those to whom so much distress has been caused,” said Central Bank governor Philip Lane.
The State’s five largest home loan lenders on Wednesday succumbed to political pressure and unveiled plans to address the tracker mortgage scandal.
KBC Bank Ireland disclosed on Wednesday that as many as 1,661 of its mortgage customers may have been hit by overcharging.
The Belgian-owned bank had declined last month to give any details on the number of affected customers when questioned by members of the Oireachtas finance committee.
It said on Wednesday that it had “rectified” 571 customers in 2010, while a further 490 had been identified under an industry-wide examination which began in 2015. KBC anticipates that up to an additional 200-600 borrowers may be impacted.
“KBC expects to have concluded the identification of the vast majority of customers impacted by the tracker examination by the year end,” it said.
“Payment and redress for customers identified so far will commence in early November. For straightforward cases, which we expect to be the majority, we expect to complete payment by the year end.”
Inside Business on the tracker scandal
The industry has found itself at the centre of a political and public storm in recent weeks as it emerged how slow it has been in getting a handle on the situation.
It comes almost two years after the Central Bank ordered 15 current and former lenders to go through their books to find, refund and compensate customers who were wrongly denied tracker mortgages or put on the wrong rates.
Bank of Ireland confirmed that it has identified about 600 customers who were wrongly denied a tracker mortgage and a further 3,700 who were overcharged by an average of 0.15 on a tracker rate of interest.
The bank said that all of these customers have been returned to the correct rate and that compensation will start for the 4,300 borrowers from November 10th. It aims to have compensated “all customers, subject to their agreement, by the end of the year”.
Bank of Ireland has known of problems in its tracker portfolio since at least 2010, when it was forced to put 5,100 customers on the wrong rate on the correct one.
The bank disclosed that it is carrying out a review to see if “other customers should be included in the compensation process” and that it will issue a further update in the middle of November.
Disputed cases are understood to include 1,800 former and current Bank of Ireland staff, whose mortgage deals were worded ambiguously. While the bank is said to have generally conceded in favour of outside borrowers in such instances even if its legal advice is that it would win a court case, it has argued that staff members were financially literate enough to know what they were signing up to, according to sources.
“Since taking up my position as group chief executive earlier this month, the tracker issue has been a personal priority,” said chief executive Francesca McDonagh, who succeeded Richie Boucher as head of the bank a little over three weeks’ ago. “All impacted customers must be identified as quickly as possible and treated fairly,” she said.
AIB said on Wednesday that as of the end of September it had identified 3,416 customers who had been wrongly denied a tracker mortgage. It said that 91 per cent of these have received redress and compensation to date. The bank said it aims to complete remediation on these customers by the end of the year.
However, the bank also said it estimates that a further 170 cases will be found by the end of the year, and that payments to these will not be finalised until the end of March.
AIB also disclosed that as many as a further 1,016 customers were charged a higher rate than agreed on their tracker mortgages. Just over half of the 736 confirmed cases have been redressed and compensated to date. This will rise to 100 per cent by the end of December, AIB said.
Permanent TSB said that it has returned 98 per cent of the 1,971 customers found to have been denied a tracker mortgage back on the right rate and offered redress and compensation to 82 per cent of them.
It plans to have all of the customers on the correct rate by the end of October and made remediation offers to the remaining 363 borrowers by the end of December.
It said that 1,000 customers will have received payments by the end of the year. This figure will rise to 2,500 by the end of next March with the remainder completed by the end of June 2018, it said.
Ulster Bank borrowers found to have lost their homes as a result of the overcharging will receive an initial €50,000 payment.

Catalan VP: “We are all committed to the referendum”
Catalan VP, Oriol Junqueras, insisted this Wednesday on the pro-independence parties’ commitment to calling a referendum this September. He underscored the unity within the group despite the fact that some representatives from the main parties within the governing Junts Pel Sí coalition had expressed differing positions regarding how the referendum should be carried out. While pro-independence left-wing ERC’s Marta Rovira announced that a task force of unemployed persons could be organized to carry out referendum-related tasks, the Catalan Government’s Spokeswoman, Neus Munté, said this was a decision that “is not part of the Government’s plans”. “We are all committed to the referendum and we are going to do it together,” said Junqueras, playing down the disagreement.
Barcelona (CNA).- The Catalan Government is committed to calling a referendum in September this year and the variety of suggestions on how to carry it out doesn’t imply disunity among the pro-independence parties. These are the main ideas which Catalan VP, Oriol Junqueras, wanted to make clear this Wednesday. Thus, he played down the conflicting statements between governing spokeswoman for Junts Pel Sí, Marta Rovira, and the spokeswoman for the Catalan Government, Neus Munté, regarding the possibility of hiring unemployed people to organize referendum-related duties. “We are absolutely aware that we have to work for all citizens as well as guarantee their right to vote,” said Junqueras.
In a similar vein, Catalan European Democratic Party PDeCAT’s General coordinator, Marta Pascal, called on coalition members to defend the unity among pro-independence parties and to avoid airing disagreements in public. “We have to accept that there will be differences of opinions and that there are things which should be improved. Nevertheless, everyone has to do their homework,” she said in a interview with Ràdio 4 this Wednesday.
The Catalan President himself insisted on avoiding projecting an image of disunity, since it belies weaknesses in the Government’s strategy. This idea was immediately supported by VP Junqueras. After making this recommendation during this Tuesday’s Executive council meeting, Puigdemont set up a meeting with the pro-independence forces to discuss the plan for the referendum. Although they already meet regularly to share ideas, this Tuesday’s meeting comes after pro-independence radical left CUP recently pressed the Government to agree on a date and question for the referendum as soon as possible.

It is a new dawn, a new day and another win for the AKP. It is the first time in Turkish political history a governing party has managed to secure a third consecutive term in office. Is Turkey heading towards authoritarian rule or are we witnessing the much anticipated signs of political stability in a state which has been plagued with constant military intervention?
The build up and short-sightedness of the international media along with the endorsement of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) from ‘The Economist’ magazine, which fell short of its impartial ethos, did all but represent the outcomes in Turkey. Victory for the Justice and Development (AK) Party was expected nonetheless amongst many senior Turkish ex-officials, local media agencies and close campaign followers. It is evident that the CHP has fallen out of favour with the greater public in Turkey, with views that it cannot appeal to the masses as it is composed of staunch secularists, Kemalists and the old elite in bureaucracy and business. The main challenge to the AK Party fell to how many majority seats they would gain, as the composition in parliament is now more complex and intricate with the arrival of new Kurdish activists and advocating nationalists.
As the AKP emerged from the ballot boxes claiming half of the country’s votes, the party’s joy was short-lived as it failed to achieve its goal of obtaining two-thirds of seats in the Turkish Parliament. This would have seen an end to the 1982 constitution and a reformation of Ataturk’s secular nationalist regime.
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made it clear on the eve of AKP’s impressive victory in his party headquarters in Ankara, that he will reach out to other factions and the opposition in particular, to launch a campaign for change and reform to the current constitution. The nonpartisan message was well received by Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, CHP’s opposition leader, with regards to the Kurdish issue and the question of the veil. However, we expect to see disagreements with the traditionalist, Kemalist, backbench of the CHP, and Kılıçdaroğlu surrounding these topics. More so, the CHP unilaterally concur that any change towards a presidential system alternative to the parliamentary set-up will be blocked, a move which Erdoğan anticipates as he seeks greater control and freedom ‘with the preparation of a new, civilian and pro-democratic constitution’.
Turkey’s political system is based on a separation of powers. The executive power is exercised by the government. The legislative power is vested in both the government and Parliament. The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. Currently, the president is elected every five years by a public vote in Turkey. Executive power rests with the prime minister and the Cabinet.
Talk of the Turkish ‘model’ of democracy and exporting it to neighbouring countries is an arrogant yet flattering statement to say the least. Each state encompasses characteristics and features that are different from other countries; there is no blueprint to democracy. Certainly in the 21st century and under Erdoğan’s driven foreign policy, Turkey has been labelled as the bridge between Europe and the Middle East, a model for secularism and political Islam to co-exist, and a gateway for cultural political diplomacy in the Middle East. In spite of that, the otoban that runs from Istanbul to the South-eastern Anatolia region is unstable, inefficient and neglected. As the Arab states unfold with protesters and demonstrations against their regimes, Western states have turned to Turkey as the international voice and the influential role it can play in the region. Is Turkey pushing above its weight and being overstretched, should it focus more on domestic issues rather than flirt with the EU over accession talks and referee Arab revolts?
As a group of young teenagers make their short walk to the polling stations exercising their democratic right in Hatay, one of the poorest provinces in South-eastern Turkey, the sight and cries from the Syrian refugee camps are vivid and overwhelming. There is a slight pause and across the barbed fence an exchange of dialogues and memories are made staring deep into each other’s eyes without speaking. Here thousands of civilians have fled a dictatorial rule in search for peace and harmony, with hope of overthrowing the government and returning home. In answer to the question put forward, “Mankind is a single body and each nation a part of that body. We must never say ‘What does it matter to me if some part of the world is ailing?’ If there is such an illness, we must concern ourselves with it as though we were having that illness.” (Mustafa Kemal Atatürk)
Turkey has seen huge developments in the past decade or so, and will continue to grow and become a strong and sustainable player in international relations. The AKP since its inception and power in office has tackled issues which have been far too long overlooked, witnessed remarkable economic progress and succeeded in appealing to the masses. Kılıçdaroğlu has been a breath of fresh air to the CHP, giving greater responsibility to young party members, reforming the party council and challenging Erdoğan’s motives has all but been a healthy and fruitful contest. This election proved to be an act of democratic appreciation and attentiveness by the Turkish people as the Arab spring continues into the summer solstice, Ataturk’s resonant words are heard again, ‘Yurtta Barış, Dünyada Barış’. (Peace at home, peace in the world).

AI is more than just a buzzword
Netflix, Facebook, Siri, self-driving cars and Google translate are all daily applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), without us being immediately aware of it. AI is not new, but is used more and more actively, and is also more visible. There is a growing awareness that this technology brings enormous opportunities. Especially in retail.
And that makes sense, because the benefits are great. AI combines and interprets very many different types of data at lightning speed - data such as emotion, language, facial expressions, behavioural data, colour, images, and social media posts. AI learns from every moment of contact and is getting increasingly smarter.
Retailers can predict better and bring their product range more in line with the needs of the consumer, enabling them to serve the customer even more personally and better. And also to save serious money by structuring the organisation more efficiently.
In short, AI is hot! But what exactly can you do with it as a retailer? Let's take inspiration from a few success stories.


See the intense performance of Mastodon’s “Teardrinker” on “Late Night With Seth Meyers”
For the diehards of Mastodon, Revolver has a limited edition Fall Issue pack including a hand numbered holster and an exclusive 2LP edition of Calm and sinister with a hand-screen printed album wrap designed by artist Paul Romano. Get yours before they’re gone!
Atlanta Mastodon heavyweights released their new all-around stunner last month Silence and sinister. The two-LP epic (which was recently nominated for a Grammy for Best Metal Performance) is stacked with the team’s signature blend of progressive rock and sludge metal goodness.
Yesterday evening (November 23), the group passed Late at night with Seth Meyers to perform one of the album’s most haunting singles: “Teadrinker”.
The dismal mid-beat track plays out calmly, with the clear vocals of drummer Brann Dailor and understated guitar playing from Brent Hinds and Bill Kelliher, while bassist / vocalist Troy Sander periodically walks up to the mic to add a few. rocky lines (and a tasty bass solo). . Watch this performance above and be sure to stick around for the climax of “Tearrinker” – courtesy of Hinds and his really nasty solo skills
Calm and sinister, which was released on October 29 via Reprise Records, is available in several formats, including a Revolver-exclusive clear vinyl version, which comes with our Fall 2021 magazine and a hand-screen printed case with artwork by longtime Mastodon collaborator Paul Romano. Get yours before they’re gone!

I thought this movie was a lot better than most movie critics are giving it credit for. Though it has its confusing parts of the plot, it doesn't greatly interfere with your understanding of the movie. That being said, If you're not open to more liberal political ideas, then this probably isn't the movie for you. I thought all the actors in the movie were outstanding. Each character has their funny moments and the audience at the Tribeca Film Festival was laughing throughout the whole thing. I thought the satire was a tad over the top in one particular area, but that's intentionally done. John Cusack is right in that although it's set in the future, it really makes you see the present.

Using Waves Plugins
Waves plugins are designed for transporting audio across the Soundgrid Network protocol. The Number of audio channels, plugins used and audio input can all be different, and depend on the size of your system. However, there are certain requirements that must be met for your system to process the audio.
To begin, you will require Gigabit Network infrastructure for connecting all the below listed components. Waves qualify certain Gigabit Networking for use with Soundgrid. A complete list can be found here.
Although they are called servers, in reality they are custom built PCs running a specialty Linux build. In normal operation, the sound engineer never interacts with the Linux OS. These servers are connected with Cat 6 to Gigabit Sound grid networks, powered on, and left alone. From there, the Plugin host will connect to an online server, using the Server's CPU processing for the Soundgrid plugins.
There are currently 3 servers, and 2 discontinued servers:
- Impact Server V3
- Server One
- Extreme Server
- Compact Server
- Impact V2
The servers differ in a few ways:
- Form Factor: The Extreme and Server One come in 2RU cases. Impact V2 and Compact are small desktop cases. Impact V3 comes in a half rack sized metal case. An optional Shelf bracket allows 2 to be mounted in a 2RU Space.
- Connections: Current Servers have Networking:Ethercon locking Soundgrid port, IEC power, and not used HDMI and USB 3 Ports. The discontinued servers have a more standard motherboard I/O Section.
- Processing Power: The primary difference between the servers. They have different bench marks for processing power depending on the Sample Rate.
A Pair of identical servers can be setup for redundancy. If the primary server should crash or shut off, the redundant server will resume processing audio.

ACLU v. CBP - FOIA Case for Records Relating to Government’s Aerial Surveillance of Protesters
What's at Stake
In December 2021, the ACLU and NYCLU filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit seeking information from nine federal agencies—the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Federal Protective Service (FPS), Marshals Service (USMS), and Secret Service (USSS)—about nationwide aerial surveillance and flight monitoring of protests in 2020 following the death of George Floyd.
After George Floyd was murdered by Minneapolis police in May 2020, millions of people across the United States protested police brutality for months in one of the largest series of social demonstrations in national history. Throughout this period, federal aerial surveillance tools, including drones, helicopters, and spy planes, monitored at least 15 cities where people were protesting. According to press reports, individual planes gathered as much as 58 hours of footage in a single stretch, with at least 270 hours of total footage being collected across all the cities.
One spy plane that flew over Minneapolis had the ability to obtain high-resolution footage from an unusually high distance, making it less noticeable from the ground—and a group that tried to shine a laser at the plane was located within 20 minutes and surrounded by police. Another plane—which had also been previously deployed in 2015 over Baltimore, during protests following Freddie Gray’s death in police custody—surveilled protests in Washington, D.C., and was equipped to “monitor targets day and night, see through haze, and provide infrared thermal imaging.”
The ACLU of Northern California recently published public records regarding aerial surveillance last summer by the California Highway Patrol, including footage that zooms in on individual faces and records personal interactions between people, along with general surveillance of community activity. The footage also seemed to disproportionately focus on protests for racial justice as opposed to other social activity occurring during the same time period, such as those against Covid restrictions.
Related, the ACLU of Massachusetts recently uncovered information about at least 431 drones owned by their state, with Boston alone owning 210 drones. And in 2020, the Baltimore Police Department implemented a city-wide, six-month aerial surveillance program over the entire city—a program that the full Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals recently held was unconstitutional.
Despite these examples, there has been a stunning lack of transparency surrounding the government’s deployment of these technologies—which is of particular concern for communities of color who are already surveilled disproportionately through other means. When and how these aerial surveillance tools are used, and who they are used against, present critical questions about privacy, free speech, and disproportionate applications of law enforcement attention and resources.
Our FOIA lawsuit intends to uncover all records maintained by these nine federal agencies regarding aerial surveillance over any city in the United States beginning in May 2020, including contracts, footage, policies, monitoring capabilities, flight logs, and other technical aircraft information. We believe that these records will support an increased public understanding about the use and purpose of these surveillance tools, as well as inform discourse about its regulation, future use, and implications.

IRON & Wine, otherwise known as Sam Beam, is one of the top selling indie artists in the US.
He has released three full-length albums, a handful of EPs and singles, plus a collaborative EP with Calexico.
His sound is born from that alt-country movement. Last year he stole the show at All Tomorrow's Parties New York curated by the Flaming Lips and 2011 sees the release of a new album Kiss Each Other Clean. Tomorrow night he plays the After 8 series at the Rodewald Suite in the Philharmonic Hall. Tickets are £17 and £22 from www.liverpoolphil.com or 0151-709 3789.
Ahead of his first Liverpool gig, he braves the ECHO music Q&A...
Tell us about your gig at Liverpool Philharmonic?
We like to play in different places like clubs and bars, all kinds of places. I have never even been to Liverpool before! I’m really excited though.
Which song is stuck in your head today?
Well I’ve been touring with this girl named Tift Merritt… I’ve got all her songs stuck in my head today!
I haven’t turned on my iPod today, but my friend Jeremy who does the sound on the tour, he was just ringing us up to tell us about this band from the 70’s called Patto with a song called The Man… which is buff.
What was the first album you bought?
I don’t really remember but for some reason I usually say Phil Collins, No Jacket Required.
What are your three favourite albums of all time?
I can tell you my three favourite records off the top of my head, but they’re probably not my favourites of all time… but three that I really like… Ali Farka Toure has one called Niafunké, which is great. Erm, this is tough! Oh, and I like Exile on Main Street by the Rolling Stones, that’s one of my favourites. And a good Beatles tune… Ob-la-di!
Have you ever been told you look like anyone famous?
Erm…yes. There’s a soap company in America called Burt’s Bees and there’s a guy on the package, with a beard. Yeah, that’s me.
If we ended up in a karaoke club, what would you sing?
Probably Easy (Like Sunday Morning), by the Commodores.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
When you’re so accustomed to being embarrassed, the memories don’t stick out – I’ve lost count!
What is your most treasured possession?
Have you ever Googled yourself?
Yeah, of course! But I only ever did it twice.
What’s the funniest thing you’ve ever seen written about you?
I read a review recently about a gig I did at Radio City Music Hall (New York) and they said I was up there bare-foot, without any shoes on. That was a bit silly. Whatever, it’s not that funny, but it’s a little bit weird.
Facebook or Twitter?
I don’t do either of those, dag nam.
Paul or John?
Man, come on, don’t do this to me! Today I’ll say McCartney – I have to say though, they’re both great together.
Liverpool or Everton?
Depends what town I’m in… oh, they’re both in the same town? Liverpool then, for sure.

MINISTRY of DEFENCE efforts to create a computer database of UFO reports were halted amid fears of a potential public relations disaster should its existence come to light.
The aim was to produce a database which could supply information and explanations when ministers were asked questions in Parliament about sightings.
But according to recently released files the project was halted following concerns from a senior MoD official, head of the Air Staff Secretariat.
He feared a bad public reaction if there was a leak to the media.
Correspondence from 1988 shows that records of all UFO sightings had been maintained on paper “until recently“ when a computer database was begun . . . but they were not seen as a priority by the military.
“I personally doubt that the MoD would lose much if we filed UFO reports in ‘WPD’ (the waste paper basket),” according to one unnamed official in the letters.
“It is a subject that is given prominence by enthusiastic ‘cranks’ and others, who we should perhaps not describe as cranks, e.g. the Lords Hill- Norton and Threthgarne (sic).”
He appeared to refer to the late Lord Peter Hill-Norton, a former Chief of the Defence Staff, and former Conservative defence minister Lord David Trefgarne.
The official suggested an undergraduate on a year-long placement with one MoD division could be given the task of creating a historical UFO database.
But another letter revealed the project was to be ditched because it “contravened“ statements from ministers saying UFOs did not pose a threat to the UK and that resources would not be diverted to investigate incidents.
