Amsterdam's STMPD Recording Studios' Mix Stage, which has been awarded with the highest Dolby Atmos Premier Studio Certification, now includes a Severtson Screens 1.18 Gain, woven material, 8.1m x 3.5m Stellar Acoustically Transparent (SAT) 4K projection screen.
Amsterdam, July 1, 2020 – Severtson Screens (www.severtsonscreens.com), a global leader in innovative and quality projection screens for the pro AV, cinema, commercial, and home theater markets, is pleased to announce that Amsterdam's renowned STMPD recording studios has included Severtson Screens in it recent Mix Stage renovation. Acquired by Dutch DJ/producer Martin Garrix in 2017, STMPD recording studios has received a spectacular upgrade over the past three years.
"For reference picture quality, we chose a Sony SRX-R510P 4K DCI projector, and an acoustically transparent woven Severtson SAT-4K projection screen, making the Mix Stage perfect for screenings and viewing sessions as well," said Eelco Bakker, STMPD recording studios senior sound designer. "The high-end acoustic design by Pinna Acoustics not only gives the Mix Stage its excellent sonic and visual performance, but also gives the Mix Stage the unique and relaxed vibe you can expect from the STMPD brand."
The Mix Stage, a separate studio for cinema mixing within STMPD recording studios, now includes a Severtson's SAT-4K, 1.18 gain, woven material, 8.1m x 3.5m projection screen.
"We could not be more proud to be a part of the new Mix Stage at STMPD recording studios," said Aaron White, Pro AV sales lead at Severtson Corp. "Our Stellar Acoustically Transparent (SAT) 4K is a revolutionary woven material. It has been designed so that the entire sound stage can be placed directly behind the screen, allowing the audio track to be in perfect sync with the vibrant images on screen. This allows for a completely immersive audio and video experience, ideal for STMPD recording studios' Mix Stage."
With the best audio frequency response in the industry, 4K compatibility, and virtually no size restrictions, SAT-4K brings the cinema experience to any studio, stage, or venue. SAT-4K meets or exceeds all industry standards for optimum video and acoustic performance, with reference quality reproduction of digital images, combined with true fidelity to the soundtrack.
"The technical team at CinemaNext Netherlands provided STMPD recording studios with all of its much needed services…from initial design for the Dolby Atmos Studio layout leading all the way up to suggesting and supplying the required AV equipment and installation force to make this room into a unique and unrivaled studio for the region," explained Geert Thiery, CinemaNext NL Sales Manager, Sales & Field Services. "Looking back on the previous amazing results we'd experienced with Severtson's woven screens on numerous premium auditoriums, CinemaNext had no second thoughts on what to advise and supply for the STMPD recording studios project. The SAT-4K displays unrivaled image quality without any compromise on the clarity of the Alcon's sound system behind the screen, an aspect which isn't always obvious in a cinematic setup."
STMPD recording studios' Mix Stage, which has been awarded with the highest Dolby Atmos Premier Studio certification, brings the total number of studios for STMPD recording studios to eight. STMPD recording studios aims to facilitate the most ambitious production companies, directors, sound designers and re-recording mixers with a mixing facility that meets the highest and latest industry standards.

Kentucky Basketball: Karl-Anthony Towns pens piece on race, rebukes Donald Trump
Kyle Tucker, SEC Country
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Former Kentucky basketball star, No. 1 overall pick and NBA Rookie of the Year Karl-Anthony Towns had strong words about race relations in America, and a rebuke for President Donald J. Trump, in a piece penned for The Players' Tribune on Friday.
The recent white supremacy rally turned murder scene in Charlottesville, Va., left Towns feeling "defeated," he wrote. "Not hopeless — I've got hope. But just exhausted. If you're a minority in America, just watching the news can be exhausting. Normally, I'm an optimistic guy … but I guess these emotions can creep up on you."
Towns wrote how it hit home for him in 2016 when Philando Castile was shot and killed by police in Minnesota, where Towns is the face of the NBA's Timberwolves franchise. He wrote that teammates and other minorities around the league began to wonder, "What if I didn't play in the NBA … would that be me?"
He wrote that the ugly events in Charlottesville didn't shock him — because he's seen racism alive and well in America for a long time now — but that Trump's reaction to those events did surprise him.
"Our President was given a layup: Denounce white supremacists. And he couldn't … and wouldn't. He missed … he missed badly. The President's response … was just like catching the ball on a fast break — no one else is even past half court — and then tripping on your own feet inside the paint as the ball flies out of bounds."
Towns continued:
"It's disheartening when our President doesn't understand his words carry a tremendous amount of weight. It's really hard to see our President refuse to stand up for what's right — at a time when the country needs it."
He then preemptively addressed the "stick to sports" crowd, saying that "basketball is what I do for a living, not who I am as a man." Towns, who is back in Lexington this weekend, presumably to participate in the UK Charity Alumni Game at Rupp Arena on Friday night, had plenty more to say in his thought-provoking piece.
Read it all right here at The Players' Tribune. It will be interesting to see what kind of reception Towns gets back in Kentucky, where there are quite a few Confederate monuments — which are at the center of the latest race-related controversy nationally — still standing.
The post Kentucky Basketball: Karl-Anthony Towns pens piece on race, rebukes Donald Trump appeared first on SEC Country.

Shane Jack on his way back to Australia as pop star Cody Simpson impresses on the national swimming team | Swimming
Shane Jack is on his way back to the Australian national swimming team, and pop star Cody Simpson has reached a new high at the national championships.
Jack, who returned after a doping distance, won the 100-meter freestyle race on Wednesday's opening day at the Adelaide National Tournament.
And Simpson, the You Tube star who returned to the pool, set a personal record in the 100m butterfly. He showed 51.79 seconds in the race, raising his previous figure to 52.66, set in April.
Simpson was second fastest in the final on Wednesday night after national record holder Matt Temple (51.64) and Kyle Chalmers (52.10) was third in speed.
The swimmers, who finished in the top two in the final of the national championship, will qualify for the World Championships in Budapest in June. And those who took the top three get a place at the Commonwealth Games, which begin July 28 in Birmingham.
Jack (53.27) was second in speed in the 100m freestyle final on Wednesday night, scoring the same time as Meg Harris and Molly O'Callaghan (52.83) became the challenge.
Jack was originally banned for four years after receiving a positive result for the banned substance Ligandrol about three weeks before the 2019 World Cup.
A Queensland resident appealed her ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which reduced her dismissal to two years, finding that Jack had deliberately not used the substance.
The automatic selection of Jack for individual swimming in the 100m freestyle at future worlds and the Commonwealth Games is complicated by the absence of Olympic champion Emma McKeon from the national team.

The McKeon gold medal at last year's Tokyo Olympics gives her an automatic choice, but she misses the world title to focus on the Commonwealth Games.
That means Jack has to finish in the top two in the final on Wednesday night to be sure of returning to the Dolphins team in the individual standings.
Among other morning competitions on Wednesday at the Elijah National Championships, Winnington was the fastest in the men's 400m freestyle, followed by Sam Short and 2016 Olympic gold medalist Mac Horton.
Jenna Strauch and Abby Harkin led the 100m breaststroke qualifiers, and Brad Woodward was the fastest in the men's 200m backstroke.

The four cornerstones of the new data protection law
Stefan Haller General	compliance, datenschutz, DSGVO, GDPR, personendaten, risk management
The new harmonised EU General Data Protection Regulation entered into force on 24 May 2016 and must be applied from 24 May 2018 without any further transitional period. All companies operating in the EU, regardless of their place of business, are already subject to the legislation. Legal enforcement in Switzerland is already in progress. For us, this is a reason to examine the basic data protection regulation in more detail in a series of articles.
The four cornerstones of data protection
The cornerstones regarding data protection are (based on: Markus Schäffter, 2016, Verfahrensverzeichnis 2.0):
Legality: Purpose limitation and necessity
Transparency: safeguarding the rights of data subjects
proportionality: risk-based measures
Controllability: Documented procedures
With regards to the lawfulness of the processing, three important principles in particular play a role.
Firstly, there is a prohibition subject to authority approval. In other words, any processing of personal data is prohibited for the time being. However, precisely defined exceptions (whitelists) allow processing. For most companies, this primarily includes the first two of the following conditions (Art. 6):
The data subject has given his consent to the processing of his personal data for specific purposes. The word "certain" must be observed, i.e. consent with a flexible general power does not fulfil this requirement.
Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract where the data subject is either a party to the contract or the processing is carried out at the request of the data subject.
The processing is intended to fulfil the legal obligations to which the controller is subject. This condition will primarily enable the processing to be carried out by public authorities and companies close to public authorities. This is also an important basis for the HR departments in companies.
Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
Public interest and the exercise of official authority by a person can be a legitimate reason for processing.
Processing is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests, unless fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh the protection of the data subject (especially children).
Secondly: In the first part of this series of articles we have already touched on the issue of purpose limitation. The admissibility of a processing operation must be assessed for a specific purpose. The use of the same information for other purposes requires a re-examination of these conditions. If, for example, the first processing was based on the consent of the data subject, consent must be obtained again if further processing is for a new purpose.
Finally, the principle of necessity applies. This principle makes it impossible, for example, to carry out processing operations which are not directly necessary for the authorised purpose.
In practice, the consent of the person concerned is usually obtained in the General Terms and Conditions (GTC). By accepting the GTC, they also accept the processing of personal data (consent). Obtaining consent by accepting the GTC is also permissible under the new basic regulation. But: Clauses in the General Terms and Conditions that are not easy to understand are not legal. Consent to data processing must be clear and formulated in a simple language. Finally, the company must be able to prove at any time that person in question has given their consent to the processing operation.
If their consent is not clearly evident, they have not given any consent. In this case, the data processor risks fines of up to 4% of his annual turnover.
Children and adolescents younger than 16 years cannot consent to the processing of their data. The consent of their parents or legal representatives is required.
Under transparency, we summarise a number of personal rights in connection with data protection.
The right to information and disclosure allows the data subject to know which personal data are processed and for what purpose.
The right of objection and rectification enables the the data subject to have false information about them corrected. If, for example, they are classified as not creditworthy due to a debt enforcement case, but there is a confusion of names, they can demand that the data be corrected.
The the data subject also have the right to be forgotten. They have the right to have the data relating to them deleted.
Finally, there is another, for us engineers very interesting aspect, which is the right to data transfer. This means that every data subject has the right to obtain an extract from all the data stored about him in a machine-readable format. This "detail" is likely to have a relatively large potential impact. In principle, for example, it enables a patient to create his personal electronic patient file with all examination and treatment data in machine-readable form by requesting the data from hospitals and doctors. In addition to the useful cases, it also offers wonderful possibilities for companies to deal with themselves until automatisation has been implemented.
Each company should appoint a data protection officer or (for larger companies) a data protection team. The requirements of the new basic regulation are complex and the tasks involved time-consuming.
If the data subject requests information, they must be informed within one month of, among other things, the following contents:
whether personal data relating to them are processed,
what the processing purposes are, and
who the recipients or categories of recipients are.
Of course, this is assuming that it's known where data about a person is stored and with what purpose.
A copy of the data that are the subject of processing must be given to the data subject free of charge. For all further copies requested by the data subject, the company may charge an appropriate fee (in practice approx. CHF 0.40 – 0.70 per A4 page).
The right to deletion (right to be forgotten) is limited. Check whether the conditions for deletion (Art. 17 EU-GDPR) are actually fulfilled.
Let's start with the basic principle of data economy. On the one hand, only as little as absolutely necessary data should be processed. In addition, data must be stored and processed as extensively as necessary. If the fulfilment of the purpose is possible with average values instead of single values, only average values are to be stored and processed. If it isn't necessary to assign data to a specific person, the data must be made anonymous or pseudonymous.
Privacy by Design or Privacy by Default requires that settings that affect data protection are set as restrictively as possible by default. If a social network, such as Facebook, has my birthday, it must not be displayed to visitors on my profile by default. However, I can explicitly allow the display afterwards.
The most pragmatic component of the basic data protection regulation, but also the one that generates the most legal uncertainty, is ultimately the risk-based need for protection. Personal data must be protected with proportionate measures. If the stored data is not very sensitive, this in principle allows for a more pragmatic, less time-consuming implementation of protective measures than if the data has great significance.
When considering risks, it should be taken into account that classic IT security risks must also be assessed. On the one hand: Which angles of attack exist? How are unauthorized data manipulations prevented? How can access to data and processing be prevented, tracked and audited?
In addition to this classic risk assessment, however, it is also necessary to personally protect the individual concerned. When assessing risks, it is therefore important to not only focus and asses potential damage to the company but also to the individuals concerned. Does information become accessible to unauthorised persons or even public: Will the person ever find a job again? Will an insurance company ever conclude a contract with him again? Is there a risk their spouse will leave them based of this information?
So there are points that aren't considered in classic risk analyses. But there is another question that is almost of greater interest: How can personal damage be offset against the costs of protective measures? What are the relative costs of protecting the privacy of individuals?
For small and medium-sized enterprises, the requirements on proportionality are the sticking point of the new basic regulation: every enterprise must keep a register of the processing activities of data. This directory must contain at least
The name and contact details of the person responsible;
A description of the categories of data subjects and the categories of personal data;
The categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been disclosed.
Then again, any processing of personal data must be checked for possible risks (risk assessment). The risk assessment is carried out on the one hand from the perspective of the data subject (rights and freedoms) but on the other hand for the company itself (risk of consequences of breaches of data protection regulations). Based on the risks now defined, suitable technical and organisational measures must be defined. Such measures may be considered, for example:
Pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data;
Ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of systems and services;
Definition of a procedure for regular review, evaluation and evaluation of the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures.
Controllability
The last cornerstone of data protection, and one that tends to be the easiest to implement (although not the most cost-effective) is the possibility of control. This requires clear agreements and documented procedures. And especially comprehensible considerations, especially with regards to the previously discussed risk analysis. Therefore, it is important to retain considerations that have led to a certain damage assessment and not only the final result of a risk analysis.
Our series of articles on the subject
In the lead-in article, we drew attention to the need for action.
In the first part of the series, we introduce the various actors and set the framework.
In this part 2 we examine the principles of data protection based on four pillars.
Part 3 explains the special requirements for the processing of special categories of personal data and profiling, which is regarded as particularly critical.
In Part 4, we highlight legally privileged, desired processing methods.
The last part of the series concludes with a framework for the pragmatic and appropriate implementation of data protection in your IT projects.

NCAA Tourney performance by conference and thoughts on the Big Ten's future
My summer project so far has been to add coach and conference data to my database of NCAA tournament results since 2003. This has made it even more fun to play around with. For instance, here is the performance of each conference that has won at least 10 games in the Round of 64 or later since 2003:
You can see that the Big Ten has about the same overall winning percentage as the other major conferences. It also has the second-most Sweet 16s and second-most Final Fours and has sent as many teams to the championship game as any conference over this period. (And, notably, Indiana went to the finals in 2002, the year before this dataset begins.) Yet the Big Ten has failed to produce a champion in this period because it has gone 0 for 4 in the finals.
Meanwhile, representatives from the Big East, ACC and SEC are a combined 10 for 11 in the championship game since 2003. The lone failure was Paul Hewitt's 2004 Georgia Tech team, which lost in the finals to UConn of the Big East. That means that the ACC, Big East, and SEC are a perfect 10 for 10 in the finals against teams from any of the other conferences. Kansas is the only champion from outside those three conferences, and they beat Memphis of Conference USA.
The other stumbling block for the Big Ten has been the Sweet 16, where its record has been 10-14. The Badgers are largely responsible for this, having gone 1 for 5, so the rest of the conference is a merely mediocre 9-9 in that round.
What conclusions can we draw from this? Two spring to mind.
First, the Big Ten has been unlucky not to win a championship over the past 11 seasons. Based on the Kenpom data, par for the Big Ten since 2003 is 1.85 championships, which makes sense. Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State were all championship quality teams that made it to the finals and lost to another good team, so if you replay those championship games they likely come out on top about half the time.
Second, talent kills. What the Big East, ACC, and SEC have that the Big Ten lacks is an abundance of top-line talent. Every team that has won a championship since 2003 has had at least five players drafted in the first round during that period—and only two (Florida and Louisville) have had less than ten. By contrast, just one Big Ten team has produced five or more first-rounders 2003: Ohio State, with seven.
Overall, the Big Ten has produced just 22 first-rounders since 2003. Meanwhile: Duke and North Carolina alone have combined to produce 24; Kansas and Texas: 21; Florida and Kentucky: 19; UConn and Syracuse:18. Those eight teams have combined for 18 Final Fours and 10 of the 11 championships.
In the Big Ten, the "Big Two" are Ohio State and Illinois, who have combined for 11 first rounders. Both of those teams have been to the finals, but no championships of course.
Still, things are looking up for the Big Ten. Michigan and Indiana have reestablished themselves as the kind of programs that can attract big-time talent, having just produced four first-round picks this year and with good classes coming in. Michigan State remains a power, and has frankly been unlucky to have been held back by personnel and injury issues over the past decade. Gary Harris could be an All-American this year. Ohio State just reloads every year. Wisconsin has a likely first-rounder in Sam Dekker, and the freshman class has potential high-level talents in Koenig and Hayes. Illinois has tradition and a wealth of local talent to draw from, as will Maryland when it joins the conference in 2014. Matt Painter has shown he can recruit elite talent to Purdue before, and he continues to land top-100 recruits.
Add it all together and I have a prediction: the Big Ten will win another national championship in basketball—eventually.

This isn't just the pulsing heart of the city; it's also one of the safest, cleanest, most livable urban centers in the U.S
Welcome to Downtown Fort Worth
This isn't just the pulsing heart of the city; it's also one of the safest, cleanest, most livable urban centers in the U.S. Downtown Fort Worth is centered around Sundance Square, a vibrant plaza and 35-block entertainment district where cowboy boots and black-tie dress are equally appropriate.
The juxtaposition of restored historic buildings and gleaming modern skyscrapers augments this iconoclastic appeal. Residents will find an extremely walkable neighborhood that's packed with fashionable restaurants, shops, performance venues, and lovely green spaces.
High-rise living and an energetic buzz of people, businesses, and infinite possibilities. Sundance Square was named after the Sundance Kid and the Wild Bunch, Butch Cassidy's notorious gang of outlaws who visited here in the late 1800s. A Wild West spirit of freedom still saturates the neighborhood, infusing it with a heady sense of opportunity—and the feeling that anything can happen.
With a dense collection of residences and urban amenities, Downtown is a hotbed of social activity. This makes it easy to meet new people and immerse yourself in the cultural life of the city.
Carefree sophistication and social excitement in a pedestrian-friendly urban oasis. Downtown is one of the most walkable neighborhoods in Fort Worth. Stroll to sushi bars and sidewalk cafes, comedy shows and symphony performances, chic boutiques, and big national retailers. There are theaters, art galleries, and more than a dozen local parks. You can also ride or bike to Trinity Trails when you feel like getting out of the city.
Downtown's dynamic lifestyle appeals to working professionals, entrepreneurs, and movers and shakers of all stripes. Empty-nesters also like the easygoing lifestyle and convenient access to amenities.
Downtown Fort Worth real estate showcase luxurious modern condos, townhomes, and sky-high penthouses surrounded by glittering towers and historic buildings. Ages for residences range from brand-new developments to vintage builds that date back to 1910. Many Downtown Fort Worth condos are available to buy or rent, but neither option comes cheap in this hip part of the city.
Prices tend to be higher the closer you live to Sundance Square Plaza. But with so many urban amenities just a few blocks away, the value of living in thriving Downtown Fort Worth can't be measured by a mortgage.
The Allure
Living in the middle of the action where you can easily walk to shopping, dining, world-class entertainment, and the Trinity Trails. Sundance Square is an icon of urban living, a heralded gathering place with dancing fountains, giant umbrellas, and outdoor eateries. Downtown's sunny courtyards and pocket parks are endlessly inviting.

Leaked dead Osama bin Laden photo or not?
Is this photo purporting to show a dead dead Osama bin Laden a fake or real photo of the Saudi-born businessman and the world's most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden?
Photo purporting to be a leaked photo of a dead Osama bin Laden but clearly showing a wound on the right side of the victims head
Late on the evening of Tuesday, May 3, 2011, image No1 was posted on LiveLeak purporting to be a leaked US administration photo of a dead Osama bin Laden being cradled in the hands of a US special forces soldier.
The photo ran with the caveat: "Note: Liveleak cannot confirm the authenticity of this Osama Bin Laden dead picture"
Internet observers quickly pointed out that reports from the White House had previously stated that Osama bin Laden had been killed by a single gunshot wound to the left eye, and Photo #1 clearly shows a wound above the right eye.
Photo purporting to be a leaked photo of a dead Osama bin Laden #3, but with the green "night vision" coloring removed
When the image purporting to be that of the dead Osama bin Laden is flipped horizontal nothing immediately looks out of the ordinary.
As some web commentators stated, one would expect better quality photos coming from the killing of Osama bin Laden. No doubt if he was still alive, Walter Cronkite would have been on the lead chopper.
Knowing that the White House watched the killing of Osama bin Laden live it is reasonable to suspect that any leaked image is likely at this early stage to be from the video feed. Stripping out the green "night vision" look produces Photo #3.
Photo #4 purporting to be that of a dead Osama bin Laden has had some minor enhancements to brightness, contrast and been increased in size marginally.
What do you think? Is this dead Osama bin Laden photo fake or real?
Footnote: Early on the morning of Tuesday, May 4, 2011 the US CIA issued a warning to people not to open eMails purporting to contain attached photos of Osama bin Laden dead. EMails so titled often contain a computer virus.

Obama makes solemn trip to Ground Zero
US president Barack Obama has visited Ground Zero in New York to pay tribute to those killed in the September 11 attacks, praising Manhattan firefighters and police and meeting with families of those killed in the attack allegedly orchestrated by Osama bin Laden.
The visit came as US officials revealed that only one person fired on the American special forces and bin Laden was killed at the start of the raid.

GOSSYPIUM HERBACEUM
Description: Natural Order, Malvaceae. Botanically allied to the mallows and okra. This plant thrives only in warm latitudes; and though a native of Asia, is much cultivated in the United States south of Virginia. It is either biennial or triennial, according to locality and cultivation; stem three to six feet high, with palmate leaves of lanceolate lobes. Flowers rather large, light- yellow. "The capsule opens when ripe, and displays a loose white tuft of slender filaments, which surround the seeds and adhere firmly to the outer coating." (U. S. D.) It is this mass of filaments for which the plant is cultivated, as it constitutes the cotton of commerce.
Properties and Uses: The root, and particularly the outer portion of it, has been much lauded as an emmenagogue; and is said to procure abortion without injury to the general health! The idea that any article can force premature delivery, and yet be harmless, is absurd; and that one statement should attach suspicion to the powers attributed to this article. From personal observation, I can not look upon it as in any sense abortive; nor have I found it to exert any particularly powerful influence on the uterus, though its action is rather good. I would set it down as a relaxant with mild tonic properties, rather antispasmodic, acting mildly and slowly, and useful when the nervous system is irritable and labor pains irregular. Its action then is good; but it is of little consequence in flagging labor with a cold surface or fatigued nerves. It slowly and steadily promotes menstruation in nervous persons, and in suppression after exposure; but is not good for atonic or depressed conditions. While it is thus useful in its own place, the practitioner would be utterly disappointed in expecting any such powerful action as is generally attributed to it. If I am wrong in this estimate of the agent, then I have been unfortunate in getting a strong article in all the experiments I have made with it during the last ten years. It is usually given in decoction, made by boiling four ounces of the root in a quart of water to a pint, and administering two fluid ounces every twenty or thirty minutes–each dose representing half an ounce of the roots! That would be using about eight times the ordinary quantity of caulophyllum required, without obtaining so good an effect–facts that should long ago have shown to men who make up books in their closets instead of from bedside experience, that cotton root is a feeble medicine. A preparation called gossypiin, is put upon the market. It is a reddish-brown powder; and may (if my experience is correct) be given in doses of half a teaspoonful every hour, without producing much effect. The fluid extract, prepared in the usual way, is a good article.
The seeds contain much fixed oil, which may be obtained by pressure, and may be used for painting and soap-making. A pint of them boiled in a quart of water to a pint (!) and four ounces of this decoction given to a patient in bed, is said not to fail in breaking a chill. The manner of its action has not been stated; and probably the story lacks confirmation. The filaments are used as a local dressing in burns, ulcers, erysipelas, etc. Their only action is to absorb the discharges, for which they are inferior to lint. They may be used as a diaphragm in the bottom of a percolator.


The project is located at the Slack Dam in Springfield, Vermont. The dam is one of five existing concrete gravity dams on the Black River. (Comtu Falls site is immediately upstream, and the Lovejoy site is just downstream.) The project was reconstructed in 1986 and has an installed capacity of 400 KW. Annual energy production has averaged 2,000 MWH.
Location Located at the Slack Dam in Springfield, Vermont.
The project is strict run-of-river utilizing 21' of gross head, between the headwater and tailwater. There is no bypass reach. The project is served by a 190 square mile drainage area on the Black River, 75% of which is controlled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Flood Control Project in N. Springfield, 4.5 miles upstream. A steel penstock 8' in diameter and 80' in length conducts water from the intake to the powerhouse.
The power house is 20' x 20' square and houses one horizontal full Kaplan turbine driving a vertical induction generator by means of an internal bevel gear, together with associated hydraulic, mechanical, electrical and electronic equipment. The powerhouse is constructed of reinforced concrete to an elevation greater than the 100 year flood level. A pad mounted transformer connects the station to 3-phase 4,160 V electrical service. A fishway, constructed in 2007 provides for downstream fish passage.
June 20, 2017: Having received no requests to appeal the preliminary certification decision, Slack Dam Hydroelectric Project received final notice that it satisfies the LIHI certification criteria.
Condition 1. If either the U.S. FWS or the state fisheries management agency requires the facility to provide upstream eel passage in the future, the owner shall notify LIHI within 30 days of receipt of such a notification. The owner shall then consult with the requesting agency to develop plans to implement such upstream passage and provide LIHI with a copy of these plans no later than one year after receiving the notification.
Condition 2. For the full term of the LIHI certification, the owner shall continue to operate the downstream fishway at Slack Dam in the spring from April 1 to June 15 and in the fall from September 15 to November 15 or as otherwise requested by the state fisheries agency. This condition is associated with the 8-year extended term of the new certificate.
As provided for in Section 4.2.5 of the LIHI 2nd Edition Handbook, the Preliminary Certification Decision, along with the Application Reviewer's report and (if prepared) report of the Executive Director, will be posted on the Institute's Web page for 30 days, beginning May 12, 2017 and ending on June 11, 2017.

ILM Runway 17-35 Project Named 2014's Highest Quality Airport Pavement
S.T. Wooten Corp. Wins National Airport Paving Award
Wilmington International Airport Runway 17-35 Project Named 2014's Highest Quality Airport Pavement
Lanham, Md. — The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) announced today that S.T. Wooten Corp. of Wilson, N.C., has won the 2014 Ray Brown Airport Pavement Award for excellence in construction of an asphalt airport pavement. The company received its award today (Jan. 28) at a ceremony during the association's 60th Annual Meeting in Marco Island, Fla.
The Ray Brown Airport Pavement Award is presented each year to the highest-rated airport project submitted for a NAPA Quality in Construction Award, which recognize asphalt pavements of excellence. The award is named for Ray Brown, who served many years as Director of the National Center for Asphalt Technology at Auburn University in Auburn, Ala.
S.T. Wooten Corp. won the award for its work on Wilmington International Airport's Runway 17-35, in Wilmington, N.C. The first step involved profile milling the existing pavement to a depth of three inches. Once completed, 24-inch wide high-density stress-relief interlayer fabric material was installed over existing reflective cracks that occurred at roughly 12- to 13-foot intervals.
"We had to put down the fabric interlayer because of the transverse cracks in the pavement that the milling didn't get out," said Chris Croom, Division Manager for S.T. Wooten Corp. "The fabric covers the cracks so it doesn't reflect back through the new asphalt."
The FAA P401 specification for asphalt pavement on airport runways is a tough requirement to meet, Croom said. From the mix design to testing to laydown — rigorous requirements are expected to be met.
Project specifications required the use of a PG 70−22 binder in the mix placed on the first layer of paving and PG 70−28 on the final layer. This order of pavement structure was a first for S.T. Wooten, and part of the requirement to help prevent reflective cracking, he said.
"The tight conformity with the specification is one of the things that brought attention to the project," said Croom. "It starts with the quarry that supplies the virgin aggregates to the plant people themselves, on to the front-loader man, and all the way through to the plant operator, just making sure everything runs correctly."
Another key component, according to Croom, were the quality-control technicians at the plant and at the job site. It was a constant round of temperature taking and mix sampling to make sure the asphalt mix was in tolerance of the specifications.
"We had to have the accurate number of rollers required to get density," Croom said. In addition, technicians were on hand while laydown took place to make sure the runway was paved to proper compaction.
"We never had any failures as far as mix requirements at the plant or the mix requirements on the runways," said Croom. "It was just a good project. We didn't really have any problems with scheduling. It all went very smoothly."
The project resulted in a smooth runway that conformed with the exacting mix and density specification requirements. The project was completed on time, and was well received by the community and the New Hannover County Airport Authority.
"All who use the airport said they are extremely satisfied with the final results," said Julie Wilsey, Wilmington International Airport Director.
"We had our first-ever '5k on the Runway Run' as a sort of ribbon-cutting ceremony," Wilsey said. "We are very pleased with the brand-new asphalt, grooving, markings, and especially the beads at night on the pavement. It's beautiful."
The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) is the only trade association that exclusively represents the interests of the asphalt producer/contractor on the national level with Congress, government agencies, and other national trade and business organizations. NAPA supports an active research program designed to improve the quality of asphalt pavements and paving techniques used in the construction of roads, streets, highways, parking lots, airports, and environmental and recreational facilities. The association provides technical, educational, and marketing materials and information to its members; supplies product information to users and specifiers of paving materials; and conducts training courses. The association, which counts more than 1,100 companies as members, was founded in 1955.

MysteryPeople Q&A with Mark Pryor
August 22, 2017 August 21, 2017 mysterypeopleblog3 Comments
Mark Pryor is one of our favorites here at MysteryPeople – we've followed his Hugo Marston series from the very beginning, and we're happy to welcome The Sorbonne Affair, the seventh volume of the series, to our shelves. Mark joins us to speak and sign his latest on Saturday, August 26th, at 6 PM, along with James W. Ziskin and Traci Lambrecht of P.J. Tracy. Ahead of the event, our Meike Alana sat down with Mark to ask him about the book, Paris, his busy schedule, and what's next.
Interview by MysteryPeople Contributor Meike Alana
Meike Alana: Your love of books (which you share with your protagonist, Hugo Marston) is on full display in the series (titles include The Bookseller and The Paris Librarian). Your latest, The Sorbonne Affair, deals with a best-selling American romance writer who discovers a hidden camera in her room at Paris' Sorbonne hotel. You poke some fun at the romance genre–Hugo is slightly disdainful towards romance, and is incredulous to discover that many of his accomplished, intelligent friends are fans of the author. Do you care to elaborate on your own views?
Mark Pryor: Absolutely—my position is that a good book is a good book. As such, I hope it comes across as people poking fun at Hugo for being a book snob. I know for a fact some of my readers are also lovers of the romance genre, and just last month I gave a talk to a crowded and enthusiastic room of romance writers.
Ha, but you're wondering if I read romance, though, aren't you? Yes, I have and I would. My problem is that I don't have time to read much, and almost all my reading time these days seems to be taken up blurbing books for other people. That means I have to prioritize, which in turn means I have a giant stack of unread books in my bedroom!
But again, what I'm trying to point out in a playful way is that if a book is good, its subject or genre shouldn't matter, and yet there are some people who insist their reading or writing are more… let's say elevated and don't include one genre or another.
MA: This is the 7th installment of your series featuring the Paris-based Hugo, although Hugo has traveled to London (The Button Man) and Barcelona (The Reluctant Matador). For anyone planning a visit to Paris I always recommend they read one of your books–you so aptly capture the Parisian energy and mystique. Yet you're a Brit who lives in Austin, Texas. How do you manage to capture the spirit of the City of Light so perfectly? And what's your favorite spot in Paris?
MP: Thank you for the kind words, I try hard to bring Paris to my readers. To do so, and I know it's tough, but I try to make myself go there as often as possible. Choke down a croissant or two, suffer through a dozen garlic snails, drag myself along the city's boulevards on crisp autumn evenings. We all know artists suffer, and as you can see, I suffer as much as any of them…
As for my favorite spot, well, I have several. I always visit the bookstore Shakespeare & Co., and a walk in front of Notre Dame is a must. Other than that, I try to find new places to explore and share. There are always undiscovered cafes and restaurants, little parks and squares and churches.
MA: Previous Hugo novels have hinted at his previous FBI career but we've never learned the details about why he left that agency. We learn more about that in The Sorbonne Affair. What made you decide it was time for the reader to learn about the events leading up that his career change?
MP: Your boss. Seriously. That marvelous bookseller Scott Montgomery has said to me since the very first novel that he was sure there was a story behind Hugo and Tom leaving the FBI. I assured him on multiple occasions that no, there really wasn't.
Turns out he was right.
As for why, I think it's because I'm always trying to show a new side to Hugo. He's a hard man to get to know so this particular event gives us a really good look at his psyche, and why his friendship with Tom means so much—to both of them. I better stop there before I give too much away.
MA: Given the complexity of your plots, the evocative Paris setting, the well-developed characters many readers would be surprised to know that you don't write full-time; in fact, you balance your writing with a challenging legal career and a full family life including 3 young children. How in the world do you find time to write? Do you have to be very disciplined and organized, or do you just randomly throw words on the page when you can carve out a few free minutes?
MP: It's all about the discipline, filling every spare moment with either writing or something book-related. The way I explain it is to say that I never, ever, have a moment in my life when I think, "Oh, nothing going on today, what should I do?" Ever. Even on July 4 I had to take time to write a couple thousand words in between pool trips and burger-making.
That said, I have no complaints at all. I have a fascinating job, books I love to write, and hugely supportive family and friends (and readers!). So, yes, I'm crazy busy but in all the best ways.
MA: What's next for Hugo?
MP: I have a few ideas rolling around in my head but so far it's all a little hazy. More than likely he'll be paying a visit to Lake Como in Italy, which won't be too much of a hardship I suspect (for him or me!). I want to develop the secondary plot like from The Sorbonne Affair a little more, the new threat to Hugo and Tom. And I think I want a princess in the book. Doesn't that sound like fun?
MA: In addition to the Hugo series, you wrote the outstanding psychological thriller Hollow Man. (For anyone who hasn't read it, the book tells the story of Dominic, a psychopath British district attorney who lives in Austin. Pryor is a British district attorney who lives in Austin. He assures us the work is "completely fiction." Hmm….) Any plans for another book about Dominic?
MP: Dang it Meike, you know what a sweet, kind, non-psychopathic chappie I am! I haven't killed anyone for ages and ages, I promise!
Actually, on January 30, 2018, the sequel to Hollow Man will be published by Seventh Street Books. It's called Dominic, which is suitably ego-centric for that character. This time around he's set his sights on a judgeship that he would like, but to get there he has to deal with two significant problems: a colleague going for that same position, and a detective who still has questions about Dominic's role in a murder that someone else went to prison for.
MA: We always like to ask for reading recommendations from our favorite writers. Read anything lately that you want to tell us about?
MP: Oh, good, this lets me have a quick rave about Erik Larson's Dead Wake, which is one of the best non-fiction books I've read in years. I'm also about to delve into Unsub by Meg Gardiner and Blame by Jeff Abbott. Oh, and the new James Ziskin, Cast The First Stone. Love that series. As you can see, my TBR pile is greater than my recently-finished stack, but to be fair it's because I'm reading some manuscripts for blurb purposes, and not so much published work.
You can find copies of The Sorbonne Affair on our shelves and via bookpeople.com. Mark Pryor joins us Saturday, August 26th at 6 PM to speak and sign his latest. He'll be appearing with fellow crime writers Traci Lambrecht (of P.J. Tracy) and James W. Ziskin.
MysteryPeople Review: CAST THE FIRST STONE by James W. Ziskin
June 28, 2017 July 31, 2017 mysterypeopleblogLeave a comment
Review by MysteryPeople Contributor and Mystery Maven Meike Alana
Cast the First Stone is the latest installment in James Ziskin's Ellie Stone mystery series featuring newspaper reporter Ellie Stone. Ziskin joins us here at the store to speak and sign his new installment in the series on August 26th, when he'll be appearing with another favorite from Seventh Street Books, Mark Pryor.
Ellie's bosses may sometimes assign her the fluff pieces, but as Ziskin's latest begins, Ellie lands an assignment sure to be interesting throughout. For once the paper's publisher has a meaty story for her to cover—the New Holland Republic is going to send her to Los Angeles to profile local hero Tony Eberle; the actor has just landed his first starring movie role in the latest beach-themed Hollywood blockbuster. But when Ellie arrives on the studio set to interview her subject, he doesn't show up for filming and is promptly fired from the production.
Humor and Horror: MysteryPeople Q&A with Adrian McKinty
April 7, 2017 April 13, 2017 mysterypeopleblogLeave a comment
Interview by Director of Suspense Molly Odintz
I've followed Adrian McKinty's Sean Duffy series for years now, ever since I flew through his Troubles Trilogy, only to jump up and down with happiness when I realized he planned to continue the series. With the release of McKinty's latest, Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly, I found an opportunity to interview the man himself, rather than just talking to the internet about how much I love his books. Thanks to Seventh Street Books for bringing his works to the states, and thanks to Adrian for letting me ask him a series of rather long questions.
Molly Odintz: So the idea that Sean Duffy can quit smoking is rather laughable to me. Will he ever get his health together in the context of life in such a stressful position?
Adrian McKinty: I seriously doubt it. I knew many coppers in that era and all of them were huge social drinkers and chain smokers that you would be foolish to try and keep up with. But there's always hope. I think he's probably off the cocaine for good now which is nice.
MO: In your latest, you show how entrenched and mafia-like the paramilitaries have become by the late 80s, especially when it comes to drug crimes. By the late 80s, do you think more paramilitaries were motivated by power and money than politics?
AM: By the early 80s it was obvious that the Troubles were not going to end anytime soon so the smarter/more cynical ones diversified into protect rackets and drugs. At a famous meeting in Belfast in 1985 supposedly mortal enemies the IRA and UVF met to divide Belfast into drug territories. And that is still the case to this very day.
MysteryPeople Pick of the Month: A WELCOME MURDER by Robin Yocum
April 3, 2017 April 13, 2017 mysterypeopleblog1 Comment
Post by MysteryPeople Contributor Meike Alana
Johnny Earl was once a great high school athlete—perhaps the greatest in the storied history of Steubenville High School, home of the Big Red. But in 8 short years his star has risen and spectacularly fallen—after a brief stint as a Pittsburgh Pirate (the highlight of which was a triple hit off Nolan Ryan and which ended when he blew out his knee), his second career as a cocaine dealer ended with a spell in the federal penitentiary.
As A Welcome Murder begins, Johnny has been released from prison and has returned to his hometown of Steubenville. He plans to stay just long enough to retrieve the drug money he hid before his incarceration, then head out for parts unknown– but just moments before he's ready to hit the road he's picked up for questioning in the murder of Rayce Daubner, the FBI informant who set him up on drug charges in the first place. While he's spending the night in jail, his former cellmate shows up—the white supremacist who wants Johnny's drug money to help fund the Aryan nation he's founded somewhere in the wilds of Idaho or Nevada (he's not quite sure of the location). He already has a pair of wives waiting for Johnny so he can do his part to further the cause.
MysteryPeople Q&A with James W. Ziskin
August 16, 2016 August 23, 2016 mysterypeopleblogLeave a comment
Heart Of Stone is the latest in James Ziskin's series featuring early 1960s "girl reporter" Ellie Stone. James will be joining his fellow Seventh Street author Mark Pryor at a BookPeople signing this Saturday, August 20th at 6PM. Our Meike Alana got some early questions in.
Meike Alana: The Ellie Stone novels are written in the first person, and you write a very convincing female in her early 20's. How did you develop that voice?
James W. Ziskin: I try to imagine a fully developed character in Ellie. Her thoughts, aspirations, loves, hates. Her joys and pains. Simply describing what she's doing from chapter to chapter doesn't cut it, even if her behavior happens to be believable to the reader. That makes for a cardboard-thin character, flat and, ultimately, uninteresting. Instead, I want to climb inside Ellie's head and create a fully formed character and, by extension, a voice. So how do I get inside Ellie? I mine those emotions I mentioned above. I imagine how she would feel and react in certain situations. Would she keep quiet, mouth off, or feel defeated? What would she say to a man dismissing her as "just a girl"? What would she do if he patted her rear end? What kind of man would she find attractive? Irresistible? Contemptible? It's hard to do, of course. If you're truly going to hang flesh on the bones of your character, be she a woman or a man, you need more than just a physical description and a couple of quirks or mannerisms. You need to empathize with your characters. Understand them, think them through. Make them complex, multidimensional, dense, and deep. Give them weight. And once you've done that, the voice will come.

Beautiful women, French food, and rare books: MysteryPeople reviews THE PARIS LIBRARIAN by Mark Pryor
Come by BookPeople on Saturday, August 20th, at 6 PM, for a panel discussion with two fantastic authors from Seventh Street Books! Mark Pryor will be speaking and signing his latest Hugo Marston novel, The Paris Librarian, reviewed below. He'll be joined by James Ziskin, author of the Ellie Stone series, speaking and signing Heart of Stone.
Post by MysteryPeople Contributor and Character in the Novel Meike Alana
The Paris Librarian is the latest installment in Mark Pryor's series featuring Hugo Marston, the cowboy-boot wearing former FBI profiler from Texas who now heads up security at the American Embassy in Paris. It has something for everyone—booze, guns, action, beautiful women, history, humor, danger, fantastic French food, and BOOKS!
The novel finds Hugo, an avid collector of rare books, negotiating a potential addition to his collection—his friend Paul Rogers, the director of the American Library, is arranging the sale of some books to raise funds for the library. Hugo and Paul set up a meeting for the next morning, but when Hugo arrives at the library he finds Paul dead, the victim of an apparent heart attack. Paul had been inside a locked room so it doesn't appear that foul play was involved, but Hugo has a tingling in the back of his neck which suggests there may be more at play—and years of experience have proven that tingling is rarely wrong.
On Hollywood and Hemingway: MysteryPeople Q&A with Shaun Harris
August 9, 2016 August 7, 2016 mysterypeopleblogLeave a comment
In The Hemingway Thief, the recently released debut crime novel from author Shaun Harris, a writer of popular vampire novels is on the trail of the suitcase containing Hemingway's original draft of A Movable Feast, with a cast of questionable characters. Our Meike Alana got to ask Shaun some questions about the book and the writing process.
"As I started to do some research I realized that I hate Hemingway as both a writer and a man. At the prospect of having to read more of his work and then aping it, I decided to go in a different direction."
Meike Alana: How did the legend of Hemingway's lost suitcase become the inspiration for your novel?
Shaun Harris: A number of years back I was watching the movie Wonder Boys for the 8 billionth time and Michael Douglas's character mentioned the lost suitcase in a throwaway line. I looked it up and thought it was an intriguing idea. At first I went for the obvious idea of having the protagonist find the suitcase and pass it off as his own. As I started to do some research I realized that I hate Hemingway as both a writer and a man. At the prospect of having to read more of his work and then aping it, I decided to go in a different direction. So the idea sat in my brain for a while until I came up with what that direction would be. And that will be answered in a later question.
MysteryPeople Review: HEART OF STONE by James Ziskin
June 7, 2016 July 3, 2016 mysterypeopleblogLeave a comment
Review by MysteryPeople Contributor Meike Alana
In James W. Ziskin's latest Ellie Stone mystery, Heart of Stone, our heroine is enjoying a lazy August holiday in an Adirondack cabin belonging to her aunt. One morning, two men are found dead just a few feet away from a tranquil lake—they appear to have fallen from a treacherous cliff. The police treat the deaths as an unfortunate accident, but for Ellie things don't quite add up—the two men apparently didn't know one another, and a station wagon belonging to neither was found a few feet from where the men must have fallen. So why did they die together?
In true Ellie fashion, she sticks her nose where it isn't wanted—encountering a colorful cast of characters with loose morals, zealous political views, and secret romances. She's tough, smart, and sassy—and can hold her Scotch with the best of them—but her heart may be at risk when she becomes involved with a fellow vacationer. And as she delves deeper into the mysterious deaths, more than her heart may be in peril. The plot has plenty of convolutions with a supremely satisfying ending.
Ellie is one of my favorite characters in the genre. Her intelligence and fearlessness belie her youth. She's at once vulnerable yet self-assured, intelligent yet impulsive, liberated yet yearning for a romantic connection. But what really sets Ziskin's books apart is the poetry of his writing—a linguist by training, he excels at poetic and evocative descriptions of the fascinating characters and the nostalgic 1960's upstate New York setting. Previous installments in the Ellie Stone series are: Styx & Stone; No Stone Unturned (an Anthony Award nominee for Best Paperback Original); and Stone Cold Dead (a 2016 Left Coast Crime "Lefty" Award nominee for Best World Mystery Novel).
Heart of Stone comes out today! You can find copies on our shelves and via bookpeople.com.
MysteryPeople Review: A BRILLIANT DEATH by Robin Yocum
April 25, 2016 May 24, 2016 mysterypeopleblogLeave a comment
Event Staffer Meike Alana reviews Robin Yocum's new novel, A Brilliant Death.
Robin Yocum's new novel, A Brilliant Death, explores the fallout from family secrets too long kept in a small town. For almost two decades, the tale of Amanda Baron's death in a night-time boating accident has been town legend in Brilliant, Ohio. Presumably, the boat on which she and her mysterious lover were trysting was struck by a coal barge; the boat was destroyed and the bodies of Amanda and her lover were never recovered.
Her son Travis was an infant when his mother died. Now in high school, Travis yearns to know more about the mother he doesn't remember. His father, town bully "Big Frank" Baron, removed all traces of his late wife from their home and refuses to speak her name. So Travis enlists the help of his best friend Mitch Malone (our narrator) and launches "Project Amanda" to learn the details about his mother's life and death.
MysteryPeople Review: THE SECRET LIFE OF ANNA BLANC by Jennifer R. Kincheloe
November 17, 2015 May 24, 2016 mysterypeopleblogLeave a comment
Jennifer R. Kincheloe's debut historical mystery, The Secret Life of Anna Blanc, is just out from Seventh Street Books. Below, read event staffer and mystery enthusiast Meike Alana's review.
Post by Meike Alana
T o all appearances (which are of the utmost importance to most people in her social circle), debutante Anna Blanc, protagonist of Jennifer R. Kincheloe's debut, The Secret Life of Anna Blanc, lacks for nothing. She and her father, a wealthy influential banker, live in a mansion in the finer part of town with a full staff of servants. Anna wears exclusive handmade fashions crafted by Vionnet at the House of Doucet, hairpieces made of yak hair, designer shoes and extravagant custom-made hats.
But Anna yearns for a different life altogether—what she really wants to be is a detective like Sherlock Holmes. She hides true crime novels and police procedurals between the covers of the classic books she that are suitable for a girl of her station. She dreams of being a member of the police force and helping to solve the crimes she reads about.
