Inverted Pendulum
A physical pendulum finds stability in its inverted position when driven at the proper frequency and amplitude combination.
The physical pendulum is a 45 cm x 2 cm x 6 mm (1/4") strip mounted on a ball-bearing pivot and can rotate 360 degrees. Its pivot is driven by a 3/4" stroke Sears Craftsman Auto Scroller Saw (model 315.172090) at about 50 Hz. The basic idea was adapted from Michaelis4. While holding the pendulum in the inverted position, the saw is switched on and brought up to speed until the pendulum becomes stable. Because the length of the stroke is well above the critical amplitude of vibration, the range of driving frequencies for the pendulum to remain in stable equilibrium is quite broad.
If the driving point executes sinusoidal vibrations, the equation of motion of the pendulum is Mathieu's equation. A complete analysis of the motion can entail considerable complexity and the reader is referred to the references below. To understand what is physically going on, consider the following scenario. Suppose the pendulum is "falling down" in the sense that gravity is pulling on the center of mass and causing it to rotate about the pivot. If the pivot is pulled down (by the jig saw) then a torque about the center of mass will produce a counter rotation of the pendulum towards the vertical. The pivot point is then lifted up while the pendulum is near the vertical. The pendulum overshoots the vertical and begins to fall down on the opposite side. The pivot is pulled down..., etc. Thus the amplitude, frequency, and phase (relative to the pendulum's free motion) of the pivot's vibration all conspire to stabilize the pendulum and keep it near the vertical position.
Setting it up
This is trivial as the demo is hand-held and quite portable! Since the pendulum moves with speeds of a few m/sec, it should be directed away from the audience and the operator ought to wear safety goggles as a precaution (the pendulum is press-fit onto the bearing and you can never tell when disaster will strike).
This demo is so elegantly simple and its behavior goes against all expectation. In addition to its obvious demonstration purpose, Michaelis has pointed out that it can be used as "an analog in understanding such diverse phenomena as the theory of accelerators (strong focusing), inertial confinement, magneto-plasma confinement, rf plasma confinement, liquid confinement in inverted vessels, long-distance laser beam transmission (periodic focusing and defocusing with gas lenses analogous to accelerator strong focusing), containment of charged particles, and quadrupole mass filters." Is it possible that all problems in quantum electrodynamics can be solved by various Sears power tools?

Barber Paper Mills – Georgetown
The Barber Paper Mill ruins are comprised of several Victorian era industrial buildings that are slowly decaying in Georgetown. It was sunny and 11 degrees with enough breeze to blow the bugs away. The next stop up the Credit River north of Norval is the Barber Dynamo. We decided to access it from the north side which meant parking on Maple Ave. in Georgetown right beside the ruins of the Barber Paper Mills. An exploration of the Dynamo pretty much requires a look at the paper mill that led to it's creation.
The Barber family came to Upper Canada in 1822 and settled in the Niagara Peninsula. In 1825 they helped James Crooks win a $500 bounty from the government for establishing the first paper mill in the colony. In 1837 they decided to go into business for themselves and moved to Hungry Hollow (now Georgetown) and bought the woolen mill that belonged to George Kennedy who, in 1820, was the founding father of Georgetown. As the business expanded they started a second woolen mill just south of Streetsville in what would be known as Barbertown. By 1852 their woolen industry outgrew both buildings and a new larger one was built in Streetsville. It was at this time that the new paper rolling building was completed. This allowed the mill to expand from a 91 cm cylinder to a 122 cm paper rolling machine. Wallpaper was added to their list of products and by 1862 it is said that they had the largest wallpaper factory in North America.
Beside the Paper Mill building stood the machine and maintenance shop. It has lost all of it's roof and can be seen in the foreground of this picture.
The archive photo below from 1910 shows the paper mills as they looked in their prime. The paper machine building and maintenance shops can be seen near the bridge. The little brown building behind the bridge was the offices, now demolished. A horse barn and wood storage lot stand where Maple Avenue now runs. The two smoke stacks were on boiler and digester rooms where the paper pulp was made.
The dam across the Credit River for the paper mill was replaced with the current concrete one some time between the picture above from 1910 and a subsequent one from 1930. This picture is taken from the modern bridge which was built in 1973.
In 1869 John Roaf Barber took over the mill operation at the age of 30. By 1886 the business was growing and the mill ran into an old problem. Insufficient water power to keep the machines running. At the mill site the head of water (height which it could be made to drop to do work) was only 4.5 meters. A spot was found about 3 km downstream where a head of 6.6 meters could be obtained. The solution was to build the Barber dynamo which will be explored in a companion post. The mill was using two sets of turbines like the one pictured below. It appears that there may be at least 3 of these sets of turbines in the grass behind the sorting building which means the old ones from the dynamo may have been brought here as well. When the dynamo was brought into service in 1888 it made the paper mill the first industry in North America to generate and transmit electricity to operate it's machines.
This is the river view of the paper machine building. Paper had been made out of cotton and linen rags until 1869 when a pulp mill was added so that paper could be made from oat, wheat and rye straw. By 1879 wood pulp was replacing straw and John Roaf Barber was on the leading edge of the new process. The building below produced some of the countries finest wood based papers and ironically today there is a small tree growing on the roof above the first window.
The power connection station on the river side of the building is a later addition as is testified to by the red bricks inset into the field stone construction of the rest of the building. There were originally two lines running from the dynamo to the mill. One was used for lighting and one to power the machines. After 1913 the mill was converted to Ontario Hydro.
This shot is taken from Maple Avenue and shows the south end of the property. The incoming sorting and storage building is in the rear while the foundations for the incinerator building or the shipping building can be seen in the foreground.
We crossed the bridge to a blue marked side trail that is part of the Bruce Trail. Forget me nots grow along the north side of the Credit. Legend has it that when God was naming the plants, this little one called out "forget me not" and God chose that for it's name. Prior to joining Canada in 1949 the Dominion of Newfoundland used the forget me not flower for their Remembrance Day flower. The poppy has since been adopted but some still prefer the traditional blue flower instead.
Normally born between late May and early July white tail deer fawns weight 4 to 8 pounds at birth. Fawns are supposed to hide for the first week while their mother forages. After this they will be with the mother until weaned in the fall. They will lose their white spots within the first year but they help camouflage them when they're infants. This little one is barely taller than the log it stands in front of and at first I thought it was a dog.
The paper mill was sold by the Barbers to Provincial Papers in 1913 who operated it until it closed in Nov. 1948. Various tenants occupied the buildings until the mid-1970's when it was closed and left to rot. As for the fate of paper mill ruins? That remains undetermined but in 2008 the site was named as a cultural heritage property. In 2015 it made Heritage Canada's top 10 list of most endangered heritage sites. The current owners proposed a 14 story condo with much of the remaining heritage buildings retained. Problems with clean-up of soil contaminated by years of heavy industry have left the project on hold and the property is on the market again for a cool 5 million dollars. Leaving it behind we continued along the river toward the site of the Barber Dynamo.

I worked at this site 1973 – 1976 when it was Deltacradt Furniture. Used to enjoy exploring the hidden caverns and chambers below the buildings leading to the Credit. Had heard it was a munitions manufacturer or. storage during WW2. enjoyed the history lesson although I believe the road is River Drive, not Maple Ave. I used to live nearby from 1954 – 1962 and played along these river banks often.

I have coached for the past 20 years across all different levels. I have spent 3 years as a head coach in the WNBL, 5 years as an assistant in the WNBL (Where I currently am the assistant coach for the Adelaide Lightning) and a number of years on the floor working with the Phoenix Mercury helping with their pre season preparation in the WNBA.
We have a few objectives for 2018, firstly and foremost everything we are doing is about winning enough games to give us a shot at the Championship. We have a great level of experience, toughness and ability this year to put us in a position to win games, we just need to ensure we work hard enough across all facets of the game to do it. Secondly and very importantly, we are working tirelessly to build the women's program at South West into one that people love to be involved with and others want to be a part of. I think we have made strides in this area however it is something that will continue to take a lot of work.. However in saying that I am fortunate to have people around the team that are all great hard working people who work hard to make this happen.

Q: Binary Search Tree, cannot cast from Int to string I am trying to code a Binary tree and am currently trying to get an 'inorder' function to work which takes in a binary tree containing integers and outputs the binary tree to a string in numerical order. However when I try to concatenate the integer to the end of the string I am receiving the error message "Error C2440: 'type cast' : cannot convert from 'int' to 'std::string'.
The code for the function is as follows:
void _inorder(node *tree, string &str)
{
        if (tree != NULL)
        {
            _inorder(tree->left, str);
            str = str + (string)(tree->data);
            _inorder(tree->right, str);
        }

        cout << str << endl;
}

A: Use std::to_string(since c++ 11) to convert the int to a string.
str = str + std::to_string(tree->data);

A: Before c++11, you can do this:
ostringstream os;
os << tree->data;
str += os.str();

A: use this function
  std::to_string(int);

This should resolve the error.

Щебето́вка (до 1945 року — Оту́з; , ) — селище міського типу в Україні, у складі Феодосійської міської ради Автономної Республіки Крим, центр селищної ради. Розташований на південно-східному узбережжі Криму. Найближча залізнична станція в м. Феодосія. Транспортне сполучення: Алушта — Керч, Судак — Сімферополь. Разом з селищем Курортне (або Нижній Отуз), що розташоване на березі моря, складає єдиний курортний комплекс.

Історія

Територія, на якій розташоване селище, була заселена з давніх часів. В околицях Щебетовки виявлено пам'ятки неоліту, бронзи (долина Чалки). На території сільради розташовані рештки середньовічної фортеці та візантійської церкви. Знайдені тут могильні плити датуються XIV–XVI ст. Вперше селище під назвою Отузи згадується в літописах в 1461 році.

Отуз — кримсько-татарською тридцять, — рівно стільки тут залишилося дворів після переселення більш давніх мешканців греків та вірменів до північного приазов'я (нинішню Донеччину) та низин Дону.

Станом на 1886 у селі Таракташської волості Феодосійського повіту Таврійської губернії мешкало 676 осіб, налічувалось 183 дворових господарств, існували 2 мечеті та 4 лавки.

Економіка
Основне підприємство селища — виноградарський радгосп-завод «Коктебель».

Соціальна сфера
У Щебетовці — 1 загальноосвітня школа, 1 дитяча дошкільна установа; лікарня, поліклініка; Будинок культури; мечеть; відділення одного банку.

Пам'ятки
На території Щебетовки розташований природний заповідник, який включає весь Карадагський масив. Біля підніжжя Карадагу, в селищі Курортне, посеред затишного парку, знаходиться відома Карадазька біостанція. Вона створена 1907 року, зараз тут розміщується філія Інституту біології південних морів Національної Академії наук України та дельфінарій.

Тут полюбляв бувати російський письменник Грибоєдов. Так він пише своєму другу Бєгічеву: «Наймиловидніша смуга цієї частини Криму, як на мене, Отузи. Сюди я приїжджав верхи пізно вночі при місячному сяйві».

Особистості
В селищі народилась Бринцева Марія Олександрівна — двічі Герой Соціалістичної Праці.

Cobb school district attitude seems to be: If we stop counting COVID cases, COVID won't exist
TOPICS:Cobb County School DistrictCOVID-19
Screenshot of the Cobb County School District case count page with the last update circled.
[An earlier version of this had the headline beginning with "If we stop" in double-quotes. A reader objected to this, and on reflection, I agree. Double-quotes should not be used with hypotheticals, only with actual quotes]
The attitude of the Cobb County School District seems to be if we stop counting COVID cases, COVID won't exist.
The Cobb County School District still has the following message on their website as of the publication of this "From the Editor" opinion column:
Every Friday, when school is in session, Cobb Schools will provide you with the number of new active COVID-19 cases.
District cumulative totals will reflect District totals since July 1st, 2021. School-by-school cumulative totals will reflect school totals since face-to-face instruction began on August 2nd, 2021.
Yet the page hasn't been updated since December 15, 2021, before the holiday break, and nearly a month ago.
At that time the district's cumulative total of COVID cases stood at 6,709.
The Cobb County School District has implemented an unprofessional and in my opinion inept and childish policy of refusing to provide responses to the Courier through Nan Kiel, their spokesperson, so we have to deal with them through ORRs (Open Records Requests), which they have to at least pretend they are complying with under Georgia law.
But the district told the Marietta Daily Journal that the policy on whether to count and report to the public COVID cases among students is "under review."
The case rate among 5- to 17-year-olds in Cobb County stands at 1,642 cases per 100,000 of population over the Georgia Department of Public Health's 14-day reporting period, many times higher than the threshold set by the CDC for "high community transmission."
And Region N, the hospital region that includes Cobb County, is at 96.52 percent of bed capacity in its Intensive Care Units (ICUs), not a sign of a pandemic that is under control.
It's mind-numbing that with an ongoing pandemic, there would even be a question of whether the district would continue to report cases to the public.
We put in an open records to the district, and they have (on thumb-drive or CD-ROM! That's a whole other story itself), a response to our request at the district offices, which I'll pick up Monday.
But since I put the request in last week, I have no idea whether the numbers will still be relevant when I drive to their offices, or whether there will be any numbers on the storage device at all.
I've often joked that the Cobb County School District is a taxpayer-supported public relations firm that runs schools as a side business.
But ending their reporting of case numbers when their reputation is already in tatters as a result of their response to the COVID-19 pandemic does not even show basic competence in public relations.
After the "review" is over, I hope that the Cobb County School District comes to its senses and starts counting and reporting COVID cases. It's really the only sensible course of action.

I never went to journalism school, but I find it hard to believe this is how j-schools teach the use of quotation marks.

Yes you're right about that and that is my bad. I used them because the use of the word "attitude" implied a hypothetical, but on reflection I think it was bad usage and will remove them with a correction.

That's a stand-up response. Respect.

AP style is available online. As a retired newspaper editor, I'd be happy to help review your posts before publication.

Once our revenue increases hiring a copy editor is going to be the first order of business. This case was just sloppiness on my part. I have an AP guide, and wouldn't even have to look at it to determine that double-quotes were inappropriate there. But between being buried in COVID stats and weather maps for the incoming storm, taking the time to properly edit fell by the wayside.

THIS WEEKS ESSENTIAL NEW RELEASES Friday 17th August 2018
Posted: September 23, 2018 in Classic Albums, MUSIC, THIS WEEKS ESSENTIAL PURCHASES
Tags: Anna Meredith, Follakzoid, Mikey Collins, Mitski, Oh Sees, Our Girl, Slaves, The Myrrors
Our Girl – Stranger Today
Our Girl inhabit a space bigger than the first loves, sleepless nights and growing pains that define Stranger Today. Don't miss this very special debut. For fans of The Big Moon, Lush and The Breeders
Oh Sees – Smote Reverser
Crack the coffers, Oh Sees have spawned another frothy album of head-destroying psych-epics to grok and rock out to. Notice the fresh dollop of organ and keyboard prowess courtesy of Memory Of A Cut Off Head–alum and noted key-stabber Tom Dolas, while the Paul Quattrone / Dan Rincon drum-corps polyrhythmic pulse continues to astound and pound in equal measure, buttressed by the nimble fingered bottom end of Sir Tim Hellman the Brave and the shred-heaven fret frying of John Dwyer, whilst Lady Brigid Dawson again graces the wax with her harmonic gifts. Aside from the familiar psych-scorch familiar to soggy pit denizens the world over, there's a fresh heavy-prog vibe that fits like a worn-in jean jacket comfortably among hairpin metal turns and the familiar but no less horns-worthy guitar fireworks Dwyer's made his calling card. Perhaps the most notable thing about Smote Destroyer is the artistic restlessness underpinning its flights of fancy. Dwyer refuses to repeat himself and for someone with such a hectic release schedule, that stretching of aesthetic borders and omnivorous appetite seems all the more superhuman!
Mitski – Be The Cowboy
Hailed as the new vanguard of indie rock following the breakout success of 2016's Puberty 2, Mitski returns with Be The Cowboy via Dead Oceans Records.
Mitski's carefully crafted songs have often been portrayed as emotionally raw, overflowing confessionals from a fevered chosen girl, but in her fifth album, Mitski introduces a persona who has been teased before but never so fully present until now—a woman in control. "For this new record, I experimented in narrative and fiction," comments Mitski. Though she hesitates to go so far as to say she created full-on characters, she reveals she had in mind "a very controlled icy repressed woman who is starting to unravel. Because women have so little power and showing emotion is seen as weakness, this 'character' clings to any amount of control she can get. Still, there is something very primordial in her that is trying to find a way to get out."
Throughout the 14 songs, the music swerves from the cheerful to the plaintive. Mournful piano ballads lead into deceptively uptempo songs. "I had been on the road for a long time, which is so isolating, and had to run my own business at the same time. A lot of this record was me not having any feelings, being completely spent but then trying to rally myself and wake up and get back to Mitski."
Mikey Collins – Hoick
Hoick is the solo album from Allo Darlin'drummer Mikey Collins, who combines his love of solid grooves and joyous harmonies to create a fun and sonically varied record. Mikey played most of the instruments and mixed the record himself, with some assistance from Laura Kovic (Tigercats) on vocals and fellow Allo Darlin' member Paul Rains on lead guitar. The flicker of his previous band provided the building blocks of an upbeat, positive record, but Mikey wanted to add his own quirky, disco spin and sonic expansiveness. The aim to make a record that people stood a chance of being able to dance to. Mikey draws on influences as far flung as Dexy's, Bruce Springsteen, Night Works, Matthew E White and Father John Misty. Mikey began working on the album while he was in Allo Darlin'. The last few years were a conveyor belt of change as he; got married, had a child, bought a house, moved from London to be by the Kent coast and opened a residential studio Big Jelly Studios (Girl Ray, Metronomy, Pete Doherty, Mt Wolf, Seamus Fogarty and Elva). In short, he grew up. The record journeys through these changes but has its roots firmly grounded in his new seaside habitat.
Slaves – Acts Of Fear And Love
Slaves release their third album Acts of Fear and Love via Virgin EMI/AMF Records. The band's third album reflects that fear and love may actually be the biggest motivators in the world at the moment. Working with previous collaborator, producer Jolyon Thomas (Royal Blood, U2) in Brussels, the band opened themselves up to a new sonic territory. Not concerning themselves with other people's expectations of what a Slaves album should sound like the band have experimented with their style, without any boundaries; embracing pop song writing and tender moments alongside the more traditional hardcore riffs and scream-along choruses. Standouts include the joyous thrash of Bugs, the sprawling and tense title track and the Blur mixed with Weezer esque banger Chokehold.
Anna Meredith – Anno
Anna Meredith releases Anno, a boundary-pushing collaboration with the Scottish Ensemble, in which original pieces of work by the classical-electronic composer are intertwined with Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Released via Moshi Moshi, the project began as an immersive 360 degree live experience but is now available on double vinyl and CD. After a recording process using the unusual 'binaural recording head' the project will also be available in an exclusive binaural recording – allowing the listener to experience the unique spatial aspects of the piece through headphones.
Follakzoid – London Sessions with J Spaceman
It should come as no surprise to fans of the Chilean trio Follakzoid that upon meeting the legendary Jason Pierce AKA J. Spaceman (Spacemen 3, Spiritualized), they discovered they were kindred spirits. Follakzoid and Spaceman's projects share a restless drive to explore the outer limits of music, as well as an uncanny ability to lock into a groove until it infiltrates the deepest recesses of the listener's psyche. When Follakzoid met Spaceman backstage at a Wooden Shjips gig at London's Electric Ballroom several years ago, they instantly became friends. For London Sessions, the Chileans and Spaceman joined forces for new, live-to-tape renditions of Electricand Earth, two highlights from Föllakzoid's III. The recordings were made in a private studio in London while Follakzoid was on tour in Europe in June 2016, and Spaceman's contributions breathe new life into the songs. "Jason added a very different harmonic atmosphere to the songs," guitarist Domingo Garcia-Huidobro explained. "It somehow rearticulated the space and metric that already existed in a way the band never could. These new versions have a different edge."
The Myrrors – Borderlands
If you see The Myrrors as the dust-caked disciples of a specific strain of desert-drone mysticism, theres little on Borderlands, their fourth full-length Myrrors album released in as many years, to dissuade you from that vision. Theres only confirmation an intoxicating combination of outlook and output that clarifies and crystallizes the bands many sonic strengths throughout the albums fantastically unfolding forty-plus minutes. From the beginning, with an appropriately Albert Ayler-ish blast of Awakening, to the epic 20-minute B-sidelong excursion, Note From the Underground, the beating heart of The Myrrors current statement. Borderlands will be extremely satisfying to otherworldly music seekers who find aural transcendence through the works of artists such as International Harvester, Taj Mahal Travellers, Trad Gras och Stenar, Kikagaku Moyo, Amon Duul, and Agitation Free, to name a few.
THIS WEEKS ESSENTIAL NEW RELEASES – Friday 21st September 2018
Tags: Black Honey, Felt, Lala Lala, MC5, Mountain Man, Mutual Benefit, Prince, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Suede, The Myrrors, The Ramones, Villagers
Have you picked out your favourites to win the Mercury Prize tonight ,can't wait to find out who's bagged it. (i reckon there's a 3-way fight in the shop between Nadine Shah, Sons of Kemet & King Krule coming out on top)
Christine & the Queens' follow-up is another masterful pop record that once more marries slick electro pop production with Letissier's equally stylish & emotive vocals. there are two separate english & french language versions. both are included on the 2cd & in the limited 4lp box set, which also includes exclusive posters. back in the land of england (via germany in the 70's), beak> have crafted yet another superb record that marries the motorik world of their heroes with an addictive pop songwriting persuasion. across the pond,
Jordan lee's Mutual Benefit project has thoroughly charmed us with his latest record of lush alt-folk compositions. the album is the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day, or for listening to on a relaxing sunday morning, especially on limited, soothing blue vinyl. the most explosive release of the week must be the Blinders, whose huxley & orwell-worshipping album takes the catchy pizzazz of the arctic monkeys' heaviest material & adds an extra layer of distorted punk attitude that'll be an instant hit for fans of idles & shame.
Also worth knowing about: Suede return in sweeping, cinematic form, which can be yours on limited exclusive blue vinyl & as the most deluxe-y boxset you ever saw; Prince's pre-'purple rain' studio session is an emotionally stirring, intimate recording that feels as if we're hearing his true self, completely unguarded – there's a deluxe version including a hardback book of liner notes from his studio engineer & previously unseen photos;
Conor O'Brien's Villagers project is his most approachable to date & the deluxe version includes a red 10" with two bonus tracks; Lala lala's gorgeous album of wounded, jangly guitar songwriting will enamour fans of snail mail & soccer mommy; Lonnie Holly's deeply spiritual new record's the Field's cosmic, ambient techno has melted the hearts of nigh on everyone who's heard it; & the simple beauty of Mountain Man's vocal harmony-driven album – their first in 8 years – is utterly beguiling & on clear vinyl.
There are some humdinger reissues too: all three Mc5 albums are collected on multi-coloured vinyl (red, white & blue) in one fancy boxset; there's a heap of new Felt reissues; & Ramones' 4th record gets a more "punk" remaster, plus a load of bonus tracks & a live performance, exclusive to the deluxe version.
Christine and the Queens – Chris
Billingual, compelling upbeat second from modern day pop star Christine and the Queens. Titled Chris the album is released as double CD and vinyl versions, as well as limited edition boxset, There are two versions of the album; one sung exclusively in English and one sung exclusively in French. Each track has earworm irresistibility with losing any edge. The album celebrates her polysexual desire, without sidelining her emotional pain, It's a lean, thrilling muscular set from a real talent that sits next to Michael Jackson, Madonna, Chic and Peter Gabriel.
2CD – Double CD in 3-panel softpack with 28-page stapled booklet. Contains English and french Versions of the album.
2LP – Double French Version. Double Black Vinyl with discobag inner-sleeves in gatefold sleeve. 30x60cm French version poster. French CD version included.

4LP – Limited Boxset. 2LP and CD French Edition and 2LP and CD English Edition. Limited numbered edition (10 000 copies worldwide). Contains:
Black Honey – Black Honey
Bursting out of the ether in 2014 with their squalling guitars, vivid colours and cinematic vignettes, there's no other British band out there quite like Black Honey. Having spent the last four years perfecting the indie game, everything you think you know about them and their unique surrealist world is about to be wonderfully shaken up as they prepare to release their hugely anticipated debut album. With contradiction at every turn, it's an album that celebrates being human, in all its different forms and by doing so, will touch the hearts of everyone that hears it. We've already heard Bad Friends earlier this year, but with the exception of 2016's Hello, Today (the track that saw the band become a household name at Radio 1), and the 2017 closer Dig, the album is made up of entirely new music with 9 brand new songs on offer. Album opener I Only Hurts The Ones I Love is a fascinating Garbage-flavoured meander that sets the tone for the record brilliantly. From there, there's stone cold classic Wasting Time, Lana Del Ray nodding slow-burner Blue Romanceand disco-pop Trojan horse Midnight – to name just a few. However, across the entirety of the record, you can always feel the bare bones of front lady Izzy B Phillips diary scribbles are just around the corner as the varying tracks switch between chart-headed bangers and scuzzy, industrial David Lynch inspired strangeness.
It's the weird and wonderful mind of Philipps – her lovable but villainous, Milky-Bar-kid- meets-Debbie Harry persona – that you find very much at the heart of Black Honey. An open sufferer of both dyslexia and ADHD, she's a huge advocate for self-expression without limit and has relied hugely on her band – Tom Dewhurst (drums), Tom Taylor (bass) and Chris Ostler (guitar) – to channel everything that comes from her obsessive and dizzyingly creative head and bottle it into music. The album as a result is ultimately a collage of chaos, shot straight at the heart – honest, inspiring and deeply infectious.
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets – High Visceral Part 1 and Part 2
A limited edition repressing of High Visceral Part One and Part Two. Having burst onto the scene in their homeland, releasing their first two LPs to widespread national acclaim, alongside supports with Royal Blood, Dune Rats and Black Mountain, the band have developed a staunch grassroots following with their captivating blend of psychedelia. The albums are fuzzy, heavy and echoes in your cranium with every beat. An epic detour of neon flavoured noise grows to entangle your dissolving brain. Savagely mutant energies bubble through the air. Your body is out of reach, turning itself into a sponge as your mind floats towards another dimension.
Villagers – The Art of Pretending to Swim
On O'Brien's fourth studio album, he excels at creating feverish moods while writing effortlessly accessible tunes, making it the perfect entry point for newcomers and raising the bar for what old fans should expect of him.
This record reconnects with the multi-faceted approach of 'Becoming a Jackal' and 'Awayland', while adding a new-found soulfulness, rhythmic nous and dazzling panoply of sonic detail, both analogue and digital. balanced with subtle aspects and lyrical themes that embrace existential fears and hopes in this desperate, technologically-centred dystopian age, this is his most brilliantly realised album to date. "Conor O'Brien dials down the intensity. the listener reaps the rewards" 4/5 – mojo. ***the deluxe lp exclusively includes a red vinyl 10" of a 12-minute version of 'ada' and b-side 'this is the art of pretending to swim
Mountain Man – Magic Ship
Mountain Man did not intend to disappear for the better part of a decade, or to take eight years to release its second album, Magic Ship. But for a trio of devoted friends for whom music has always seemed so effortless and graceful, that's simply how life went. The wondrous Magic Ship a magnetic fourteen-song reflection on the joys, follies, and oddities of existence—was well worth the wait. Magic Ship is a captivating album: The stunning Boat, where cooing harmonies frame Sauser-Monnig like drapes around a sunny window, sees a world of possibility in a little vessel along the riverbanks. The dashing AGT finds inspiration in flower blooms and bumble bees, discovering in the sights of nature a pure self-reliance. The magnetic Rang Tang Ring Toon celebrates a night spent hosting friends, sharing beans and music, and a skinny dip under the stars. There is sincerity and humour, depth and mirth, all rendered with three voices that have never been more connected. These songs distill eight years of experience between Made the Harbor and now—of sights seen, pleasures had, feelings hurt, forgiveness extended. These tunes are wise and tender, open and honest. Magic Ship conveys absolute warmth—like a snowbound afternoon spent indoors, passing a bottle of brown liquor between friends while putting old favourites on the turntable, or a long summer evening spent lounging beneath a shade tree, swapping stories and sharing laughs until the sun has vanished. after an eight year gap, these three young women return with a sophomore fortified by a deeper friendship, their harmonies sounding all the warmer and sweeter for it.
There is sincerity and humour, depth and mirth, all rendered with three voices that have never been more connected. fans of deep throat choir, trembling bells and lankum should check this out!
Lala Lala –
Lillie West is a songwriter who finds strength in vulnerability, through bracing hooks, sharp lyrics, and songs drenched in a profound, dreamy ambience ffo snail mail, mattiel, and tomberlin.
the 24-year-old songwriter and guitarist illustrates a nuanced look on her own adulthood – her fraught insecurity, struggles with addiction, and the loss of several people close to her. across the album's 12 tracks, west carefully examines the skeletons in her closet asking herself agonizing questions about her life with a clever and hopeful curiosity. this mixture of melancholy and hope describes the tone of this album perfectly. it's the kind of album to bolster your good times whilst softening the downs. "lala lala's music is like watching an open wound being stitched up—jarring and healing"
Mutual Benefit -Thunder Follows the Light
Mutual Benefit, the songwriting outlet for multi-instrumentalist and producer Jordan Lee releases a new album Thunder Follows The Light via Transgressive Records. Following his last outing, 2016's acclaimed Skip A Sinking Stone, Lee marks his return with a patient and prismatic collection of songs accrued over the past two years. Lee — who grew up in Ohio and is currently based in New York — has crafted pop experiments for almost a decade, blending orchestral instrumentation and ambient electronic sounds. His new album features an array of friends and many returning collaborators. New History is the album's truest folk song, with twangy harmonica and slide guitar. Its inspiration came to him while spending time in the economically depressed area of Ohio where his parents grew up. Storm Cellar Heart, is an ode to taking shelter and the fraught impulse to hide from the loudness of the outside world. It's more of a long question than an answer: "Is it storms that help make the heart grow?"
The Myrrors – Fuzz club Session
Complete with the band's signature meandering violins, droning vocals and sprawling instrumentation, this live recording allows the tracks to take on an even more alluring and hypnotic form.
The Myrrors are a mythical force in contemporary psychedelia and one of fuzz club's most celebrated bands. the Arizona band's fuzz club session is comprised of three utterly bewitching tracks that invoke images of the sandy plains of the sonoran desert which they call home, yet also draped in an influence of traditional eastern psychedelia
Suede – The Blue Hour
After the critical and commercial success of the top 10 album – Night Thoughts (2016) Suede return with their stunning new album The Blue Hour. Brett and co amp up the melodrama with an anthemic record of widescreen balladry, augmented by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
This album was produced by Alan Moulder and Suede, and shares the same line-up as 1996's 'coming up' – vocals by Brett Anderson, guitars by Richard Oakes, bass by Mat Osman, drums by Simon Gilbert, synthesisers and piano by Neil Codling. ***the super duper deluxe box set contains includes a specially mastered instrumental, a dvd featuring album commentary from the band and Alan Moulder, plus a never-before-seen video for 'Don't Be Afraid if Nobody Loves You', an exclusive bonus track – 'Manipulation' – on 7" vinyl, lyric sheets and a collection of art cards. plenty to be getting on with!***
Prince – Piano and Microphone 1983
hearing this legendary figure peacefully tinkering away on a humble cassette recording, we're struck more than ever by the raw talent that would eternally be right at his fingertips.
The nine track, 35-minute album features a previously unreleased home studio cassette recording of Prince at his piano captured in 1983. the rehearsal provides a rare, intimate glimpse into his creative process as he worked through songs including "17 days" & "Purple Rain" (neither to be released until 1984), a cover of Joni Mitchell's "A Case Of You", "Strange Relationship" (not released until 1987 on 'Sign O' the Times'), & "International Lover". the album also includes a rare recording of "Mary Don't You Weep", which many will have heard playing during the end credits of 'Blackkklansman'. "the whole thing feels – thrillingly, poignantly – like you're in the room with him" 4/5 – mojo. ***the deluxe edition includes a 12" booklet featuring brand new liner notes written by Prince's then engineer Don Batts, as well as candid shots of prince & never before seen photos.
Ramones – Road to Ruin 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition
Limited Copies of the deluxe editon come with 13' x 13" print of the Holmstrom drawing from the front cover of the album, 11×17″ poster and a postcard. The Ramones released the band's fourth studio album, Road To Ruin, 40 years ago this September. Dee Dee, Joey, and Johnny were joined for the first time by drummer Marky Ramone, who replaced founding member Tommy Ramone, who'd left to do more producing and writing for the band. It was also the album that introduced a nation of pinheads to the all-time Ramones' classic I Wanna Be Sedated. To celebrate the milestone, the band release two versions on September 21st, a day before the anniversary of the album's original release on September 22, 1978 – a 3CD/1LP 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition and a newly remastered 1CD version of the original album.
3CD – The first disc of the Road To Ruin: 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition features a remastered version of the original stereo mix for Road To Ruin and a new 2018 40th Anniversary Road Revisited mix created by Stasium, who strips off the original record's commercial gloss and restores the album to its punk rock core. Stasium's new mix is also featured on the 180-gram LP that accompanies this deluxe edition. The second disc offers up over twenty unreleased recordings, including rough mixes for every album track, starkly different alternate takes of two songs, and two unreleased outtakes: I Walk Out and S.L.U.G. – unfinished during the original recording sessions in 1978, and completed by Stasium for this anniversary release. Other highlights include three different versions of I Wanna Be Sedated, including the Ramones-on-45-Mega-Mix! released in 1988 as part of the campaign for the Ramones Mania compilation, as well as acoustic versions ofQuestioningly, Needles And Pins, and Don't Come Close. The final disc has a previously unreleased recording of the band's entire 1979 New Year's Eve concert, which was mixed live by Stasium, and broadcast on WNEW-FM. Recorded in New York City at The Palladium, with audio sourced from Tommy Ramone's original cassette of the console recording, it features blistering performances of Blitzkrieg Bop, Rockaway Beach, and Sheena Is A Punk Rocker, along with several songs from Road To Ruin: I Don't Want You, I Wanna Be SedatedandI Wanted Everything.
MC5 – Total Assault
For the 50th anniversary of the band's incendiary debut, 'Kick Out the Jams', this limited edition collection features all 3 of the band's albums with new art and previously unseen photographs.
Mc5 only released three albums, but they were ferocious, adventurous, and confrontational enough to secure the group's place as one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands ever. the music on 'total assault' shows why the Mc5 is held is such high regard today with indelible tracks like "kick out the jams," "human being lawnmower" and "sister anne."
That's quite enough of that. come back next week for some live action from nick cave, pixies' 'come on pilgrim' & 'surfer rosa' 30th anniversary celebrations, & new music from mudhoney & marissa nadler. that's just the start of it!
The MYRRORS – " Entranced Earth "
Posted: April 29, 2018 in Classic Albums, MUSIC
Tags: Arizona, Beyond beyond is Beyond Records, The Myrrors, Tucson
There's a confounding nature to the comfort constructed by The Myrrors throughout the flawless forty minutes of "Entranced Earth," the third full-length album from the transcendentally-tuned, Tuscon-tied desert die-hards (and their second for Beyond Beyond Is Beyond Records).
Those looking for terra firma – for ground not given to staggering shifts, for easily grasped handholds, for the force of gravity as we know it – are likely to find the album an often-groundless experience. But for listeners willing to give themselves over to the landscape presented on "Entranced Earth," the reward lies in the discovery of new lands, and the sound of a band operating at the peak of their powers.
When last we saw the reflection of The Myrrors, it was in the form of their previous release, "Arena Negra," an album that announced its presence immediately and with high dosage of the appropriate amplification. "Entranced Earth," by contrast, gives indication of The Myrrors entering an altogether different atmosphere, taking on an altogether higher climb, shorn of all hesitation and allowing their freak flags to unfurl and fly like never before.
Still, it's difficult (and altogether unnecessary) to pin down "Entranced Earth" beyond the spires of sonic smoke that the album seems to generate at will. So subtle is the album- opening invocation of "Mountain Mourning" that it threatens to never descend from its sky-bound view, leaving the track that follows, "Liberty Is In the Street," to offer the album's first, fading glimpse of solid ground. "On your feet or on your knees" goes the mantra-like vocal drone, though the effect is likely to bring to mind the Moody Blues more than Blue Öyster Cult (at least, the path of The Myrrors seems to include traces of the footprints left by the one-time Harvard professor given an early eulogy by the Blues on "Legend of a Mind"). By the time that "No Clear Light" – a torch-lit, dust-crusted dirge that can be felt as the beating heart of the album overall – leads listeners toward the nearly nine-minute title track and album centerpiece, there are doubtlessly many more wanderers pledging allegiance to The Myrrors unnamed cult.
Guitars of six and twelve strings, harmonium, tablas, alto sax, bulbul tarang – these are the tools of The Myrrors all-consuming quest, expertly applied for maximum elevation. Enter the realm of "Entranced Earth," sit still and let the ground disappear beneath your feet.

The MYRRORS – " Warpainting "

Hypnotic, psychedelic, desert drone krautrock: The Myrrors from Arizona! Their 4th album Hasta La Victoria (2017) is a "masterpiece" (said influential online magazine CVLT Nation) and their spacey live shows are a huge experience! "The raddest psych band you will hear today" (cvlt nation).

The MYRRORS – " We Are The Resistance "
Posted: February 5, 2018 in Classic Albums, MUSIC
Tags: Arizona, Somos La Resistencia, The Myrrors
On Facebook, the Myrrors describe their work as "Sonoran Trance Music," which is about as apt a self-description you'll see from a band today. It's apt despite the Myrrors of 2017 sounding much different than the straightforward, guitar-rich Myrrors who debuted with Burning Circles in the Sky in 2008. By 2015's magnificent Arena Negra,they had taken a multi-year break, added a violin, toured Europe, and committed themselves to Indian street instruments and ocarinas, sounds not usually heard on psychedelic rock records, at least by American psychedelic rock bands, who'd be smart, like the Myrrors, to move away from electric guitar and into the majestic acid territory of Popol Vuh, Ghost, recent Goat, and latter-day Boredoms.
On their 2016 effort Entranced Earth, guitars seemed to have taken a final step back in favor of clarinet, recorder, and ocarina; yet each song still retained a chewy guitar center amid the Myrrors' hypnotic sprawl. But on new tracks "Somos La Resistencia" and "Organ Mantra," from the Myrrors' 2017 release Hasta La Victoria, guitars are almost fully removed as any sort of central instrument. "Somos La Resistencia" remains in the same trance territory as past releases, yet not; for one thing, it's fully sung in Spanish. For another, it has giddy-up, compared to past Myrrors tracks; a circular 2/4 stomp bolstered by a stuttering electric bouzouki. Electric bouzouki (best guess) also appears on the head-nodding "Organ Mantra,' but duels with clarinet atop a swaying bassline.
The MYRRORS – " Hasta La Victoria "
Posted: July 8, 2017 in Classic Albums, MUSIC
Tags: Hasta La Victoria, The Myrrors
On "Hasta La Victoria," The Myrrors win the fight by largely giving up, so to speak. By almost completely abandoning traditional electric guitar sounds, the band lives to fight another day and sounds all the stronger for it. Minimalist influences perfume the surroundings of the album as a whole, transforming the proceedings into a transformative platter in which sun-soaked dervishes ascend and descend, informed by interlocking influences, and instruments as well. "Hasta La Victoria," in name and deed, embraces and is endowed by the potency of this unbounded approach, merging the sounds of Arizonan and Afghani heads into a single, satisfying whole.
And yet, not a moment of the album's thirty-seven minutes ever feels anything short of natural, or even remotely rushed. Indeed, in the best possible way, "Hasta La Victoria" sounds like The Myrrors couldn't be doing anything else—and by continuing to forge their own path, it's further proof that the band has never done anything less. Perhaps it's not the word "victory" in the album's title that should focus our attention; perhaps it's the persistent, propulsive "until."
"Organ Mantra" opens the album in an appropriately mystical manner, ten minutes of The Myrrors shining at their brightest, somehow exhibiting the grace and power of a freely flowing river. "Somos La Resistencia" follows at a fraction of the length, but with no reduction in impact, its declaration that "we are the lost that want truth" understandable in any language. "Tea House Music" and "El Aleph" follow, sister-songs in solidarity with the solidly transcendental terrain traveled on the album. The title track, at nearly fifteen minutes in length, ends the album on a high note – if by "high" you're referring to the daily waking consciousness of, say, Neem Karoli Baba. Because it brings the album to a close, it's unfair to call the song the album's "centerpiece." But it certainly stands as the album's emotional and musical core – unrefined, unrestrained and unforgettable.
Throughout "Hasta La Victoria," the band sounds utterly propelled by an invisible force, by the indelible impression that their actions – as a band, as artists, as people. Be here now or be here later, but there's little doubt that The Myrrors will be continuing to pursue the path at whatever time you arrive.

VARIOUS ARTISTS – Tribute to Pet Sounds
Austin, Texas – Brian Wilson was to perform the full album Pet Sounds at the Levitation music festival to celebrate the album's 50th anniversary. In honour of this event festival curators The Reverberation Appreciation Society commissioned Al Lover to curate and produce a tribute to Brian Wilson's career keystone.
Features artists such as Black Angels, Shannon & The Clams, Holy Wave, Cosmonauts and The Shivas.
'Pet Sounds' is a fountainhead from which the 15 artists on the album have all drank from as they developed their own musical roots, giving the tribute a rich and flavoursome sound. The tracklisting consists of the original thirteen songs that appeared on the 'Pet Sounds' album, with two bonus songs: 'Good Vibrations' and 'Hang On To Your Ego'.
Holy Wave's interpretation of 'That's Not Me' is a sunbaked, organ filled hymn that is a minute longer than the original song. picking up where Brian Wilson left off in 1966. 'That's Not Me' is a kaleidoscope of ear-pleasing notes that take the listener into an elevated listening experience of astonishing detail.
Shannon & The Clams capture Brian Wilson's feelings of alienation in 'I Just Wasn't Made For These Times', taking the climactic Beach Boys song and transform it into a garage rock epic with a surf rock spine. This track transcends time with both its subject matter and its deliverance.
The album opens with The Black Angels' rendition of Brian Wilson's masterpiece 'Good Vibrations', which was started during the Pet Sounds sessions but not released on the album.
Good Vibrations – The Black Angels
Wouldn't It Be Nice – Indian Jewelry
You Still Believe In Me – The She's
That's Not Me – Holy Wave
Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder) – Morgan Delt
I'm Waiting For The Day – The Shivas
Let's Go Away For A While – Boogarins
Sloop John B – Night Beats
God Only Knows – Chris Catalena
I Know There's An Answer – Christian Bland & The Revelators
Here Today – Cool Ghouls
I Just Wasn't Made For These Times – Shannon & The Clams
Pet Sounds – Burnt Ones
Caroline, No – Cosmonauts
Hang On To Your Ego – The UFO Club
Catfish & the Bottlemen – The Ride
Catfish & the Bottlemen's second album The Ride, mostly produced in LA by Dave Sardy is a collection of bold and riffing pop songs that verge on the anthemic.
"I feel like the last album was the support band, or even the soundcheck and this one's the headliner," says charismatic frontman Van McCann.
Glistening pop-rock anthems a plenty on this newest release from Wales' Catfish and The Bottlemen. Driving and heartfelt odes to love and loss underpinned by shimmering production and emotive instrumental performances, impeccable vocal harmonies float atop the main vocal lines before the distortion kicks in, and breaks it all down into pulsing, grooving rock territory. Everything you'd come to expect, and more.
The Claypool Lennon Delirium – Monolith of Phobos
Two worlds have collided, and what glorious and odd worlds they are. After Primus and The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger completed a successful summer tour, Les Claypool and Sean Lennon decided to combine their abstract talents into a project called The Claypool Lennon Delirium. Their efforts thus far have spawned the upcoming full-length release Monolith of Phobos.
MUDCRUTCH – 2
Mudcrutch release their second album entitled '2' via Reprise Records. The album is the follow up to the band's 2008 eponymous debut which Rolling Stone called "a country-rock instant classic" in a rave four star review. Mudcrutch was initially formed in 1970 in Gainesville, Florida and is the precursor to the legendary Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. Tom Petty (bass / vocals), Tom Leadon (guitar / vocals), Benmont Tench (keyboards / vocals), Mike Campbell (guitar / vocals), and Randall Marsh (drums / vocals) make up the band's current line-up. In 1974, Mudcrutch was signed to Shelter Records and moved to Los Angeles where they released one single, 'Depot Street,' to very little fanfare. The band broke up in 1975 and could have settled for being a legend, but instead Mudcrutch rose from the ashes in 2008 to remind us that the golden age of rock and roll bands still had a few treasures to unearth. Their debut, made some thirty-three years later, was an unexpected hit. All members of Mudcrutch contribute songs on their new album '2.' The album includes seven originals written by Tom Petty, with band members Mike Campbell, Tom Leadon, Randall Marsh and Benmont Tench composing one each.
LP – 180 Gram vinyl in Gatefold Sleeve with limited edition art print.
THE MYRRORS – ENTRANCED EARTH
If you dig the Black Angels, and all things desert psyche check out The Myrrors new album. There's a confounding nature to the comfort constructed by The Myrrors throughout the flawless forty minutes of 'Entranced Earth', the third full length album from the transcendentallytuned, Tuscon-tied desert die-hards. So subtle is the albumopening invocation of 'Mountain Mourning' that it threatens to never descend from its skybound view, leaving the track that follows, 'Liberty Is In the Street', to offer the album's first, fading glimpse of solid ground. 'On your feet or on your knees' goes the mantra-like vocal drone, though the effect is likely to bring to mind the Moody Blues more than Blue Öyster Cult (at least, the path of The Myrrors seems to include traces of the footprints left by the onetime Harvard professor given an early eulogy by the Blues on 'Legend of a Mind').

Arizona seems to have a particular quality that creates inspired rock bands with slightly fried edges or more, whether it's long-running stalwarts like the Meat Puppets or underground psych legends like the Black Sun Ensemble. Call it the harsh environment—or the fact that it's better to practice inside away from the heat and dust, even while feeling it through the walls.
The Myrrors are a strong young Arizona band keeping that tradition alive on their third album Entranced Earth, which will be released on Beyond Beyond is Beyond come May 27th. It places them with other equally powerful acts in psych/drone's newest generation, such as Japan's Kikagaku Moyo, Canada's Shooting Guns and the UK's Cult of Dom Keller and Haikai No Ku—all with their own sounds and aesthetics, but all dedicated to being enthralled by head-nodding waves of feedback and general zoning out.
Originally formed by drummer Grant Beyschau and guitarist Nik Rayne in 2007, the Myrrors self-released their debut, Burning Circles in the Sky, before its original members had even graduated from high school. The reputation of the band grew strong enough that eventually Beyschau and Rayne reactivated the group with newer lineups some years later, resulting in last year's Arena Negra, their first album for Beyond Beyond is Beyond.
With tracks ranging from shorter meditations like "Liberty is in the Streets" to the lengthy "Invitation Mantra," Entranced Earth shows the Myrrors on a roll, following touring and higher profile shows like last year's Austin Psych Fest.

The MYRRORS – " Arena Negra "

From The Myrrors' "Arena Negra"
Release date: March 24th, 2015 on Beyond Beyond is Beyond Records Flute Alert! Yes, there is flute on this record but don't be scared…embrace it, because this is music that certainly embraces the listener. This is a psych record that caresses and soothes with songs that drift, and seem to go everywhere and nowhere at the same time. It comes as no surprise that the band are natives of Arizona and the whole record has a shamanistic like quality, almost like it is guiding you through an outer-body experience above the desert. Tracks build and build into crescendos of perfect noise and yet it is the quieter, more ambient phases of the songs that seem to speak loudest. There is a stillness about the album, nothing is hurried and last track "The Forward Path" is the epitome of this, clocking in at nearly 21 mins. This is music to lay back and get lost in, to dream, to reflect, but, more than anything, to just enjoy

Buying a new home is an exciting time! Granted, there's a lot involved in making the right decisions and making sure the investment is in line with your financial goals. As a new home buyer, you set priorities and think of features the house must have to create a happy home and support the lifestyle you desire. Yet, knowing that buying a new home will be one of the most expensive purchases of your life causes more than a little stress in the quest to get it right.
The truth is that buying a home can be fun, but it's a serious decision involving a complicated process and significant financial implications. We need all the help we can get! In this article, we'll discuss the Top 4 Professionals who can help you before and during the purchase of a new home. There are important elements to consider, and these professionals will help you make sure you have everything under control. Let's talk about finding that expert guidance.
When ready to buy a new home, you can start by thinking about why you want to buy a home and what's on your wish list. Make a written list—one that is specific and spells out exactly what you have in mind and why. Once you have your list, you can talk with a realtor in very precise terms to find the home you want, in a neighborhood that suits your lifestyle. Guidance from someone who is immersed in the industry is invaluable, and that guidance begins with your real estate agent.
If you don't already have a connection to a top-performing realtor, ask for referrals from family, friends, colleagues or HOMEiA. You can research agents online and read reviews from their clients. Narrow it down and interview two or three to find the best fit. It's important to have a great deal of confidence in your realtor because you are not buying new towels for the bathroom—you are buying a home with a mortgage and a significant impact on your daily life and your bank account.
You'll spend a lot of time with your realtor, on the phone and in person. Find someone who makes you feel comfortable asking questions. That person will also help you learn what to look for when comparing homes and how to make a good offer. Your realtor's years of experience will help you make informed decisions to find a home that fits your criteria and creates a sound investment. A well-connected realtor will also help you find other resources that are needed or unique to your situation.
Most people will need a loan to finance a home. A loan officer works specifically for one lender and can find several options, all from the same source, perhaps a local bank. A mortgage broker, on the other hand, can find loan options from multiple sources. It's advisable to find a mortgage professional early in the process, discuss your finances and get pre-qualified for a purchase. This process will give you confidence in the amount you want to spend on a new home and the type of payment program that would work best for you.
Even if you believe you will have no trouble getting the loan you will need, an experienced lender will understand the many types of loans available and which would serve you best. If you don't know a mortgage broker or loan officer, your realtor can make suggestions. You can also talk with your circle of friends. If you hear a recommendation for the same professional from several people, that would indicate a high level of trust and anticipated excellence.
Look for someone who is a good listener and will understand your goals for housing, location and financial security. Think carefully about how the mortgage payments will affect your lifestyle. It might be better to have lower payments, so you can contribute to your savings or 401(k) plan, make home improvements or take vacations. Only you know your priorities and how to best stick to your budget.
Once you have selected a home and your offer is accepted, a date will be set for the closing. A closing sounds rather final, but what is it really? The closing is a meeting of seller and buyer and their representatives to complete and finalize the deal, and yes, there's a lot of paperwork.
The closer is the person who does a title search to make sure the title to the property is clear and will be transferred to you without restrictions. The closer prepares the paperwork, issues title insurance, handles the money that is transferred, paid or put in escrow for future disbursement, and records the transaction (deed and mortgage).
If you know a closer, you may have heard stories of complicated situations when a title had been compromised in one way or another. There is a lot at stake, and you want an experienced closer to handle your transaction so there won't be any question of ownership rights in the future. Again, your realtor should know an excellent title company, and you can also ask other homeowners for recommendations. It's important that you gain clear title to your new home.
Since there are many legal requirements in finalizing the deal, be prepared to sign a lot of documents! Work with people you can trust to manage the paperwork without missing anything important. Attention to detail is a must for closers, and this complex process will provide smoother sailing if you engage the services of an efficient, well-respected title company.
Another professional with valuable services for the new home buyer is the home inspector. To better understand the condition of the home, it makes good sense to hire a home inspector for a comprehensive analysis of the property. Your realtor can include a home inspection contingency in your purchase agreement to allow you sufficient time for a complete inspection and specify an option to withdraw your offer if a major problem is discovered.
A thorough home inspection will include a lengthy, written report with recommendations and photos after a systematic evaluation of the property, inside and out. The inspector will check exterior components (roof, siding, concrete, steps, grading, windows, etc.), interior features (flooring, appliances, windows, doors, attic, insulation, etc.), fundamental systems (plumbing, electrical, mechanical, alarm, etc.) and provide comments, suggestions and life expectancy estimates for many components, including appliances.
The inspection report contains a wealth of information to be used as needed in negotiations and later for regular home maintenance and to make projections for replacements or renovations. It's not necessary to be there for the inspection, but if you can make it, you will have the opportunity to ask a lot of questions about the home you will be living in. This is a valuable learning experience, especially for first-time home buyers.
Your home buying experience can be much more enjoyable with the help of experienced real estate experts such as realtors, mortgage professionals, closers and home inspectors. Choose knowledgeable advocates who regularly work in your preferred locations and understand the type of property you are interested in buying. As the buyer, you will learn, make educated decisions, and finalize the transaction with less stress than expected, and ultimately enjoy homeownership at its best.

After we settled into the apartment for a bit, we headed out for our first great adventure! We were wondering where to go, as it was already around 10am or so. I was also a little tired, as I hadn't slept a wink on the plane.
We decided to head to the Tropical Fruit Farm, about 30km south of where we were. But, befor ewe reached, we took a side detour at currumbin, to take a look at the farmers market and the chocolate factory and honey farm which were side by side.
This is the chocolate factory and honey farm we literally stumbled on while looking around the farmers market.
Excitedly, we headed straight up to the factory!
We saw one of the men who worked at the factory, making chocolate.
He was churning out so much stuff that ended up on the table like this.
But apart from this, the factory was really a yawn. We didn't stay long, and headed next door, which wasn't really a honey farm, but I guess just produced bee shows for the tourists.
It was another boring place. Wah.. not a good start hor. We got out quickly, and headed to Tropical Fuit Farm, where we had alot more fun.

Neosporosis in Animals Hardback
by J. P. Dubey, A. Hemphill, R. Calero-Bernal
Only a few copies left - usually despatched within 24 hours
Key features:Written by the scientist who named this parasite and was the first to set up proper diagnostic techniquesServes as the first ever book to provide information on the parasite structure, biology, pathogenesis, clinical signs, epidemiology, prevention, and control of neosporosisCovers both approaches toward preventing & controlling this disease: Developing an efficacious vaccine and sound cattle management practicesContains a wealth of illustrations, including many of the author's original photographs of the parasiteProvides basic information on immunologic and molecular aspects of the disease Abortion is a worldwide problem in the livestock industry accounting for annual economic losses of billions of dollars, and N. caninum is a major cause of it. Neosporosis is a newly recognized disease of animals.
Until 1988 it was misdiagnosed as toxoplasmosis. Considerable progress in understanding the biology of neosporosis has been made in the last 30 years, resulting in more than 2,000 scientific publications.
The economic importance of abortion in cattle, and the availability of knowledge, reagents, and technology used to study toxoplasmosis, have contributed to the rapid progress in understanding the biology of neosporosis.
Written by pioneers in this field, Neosporosis in Animals presents a comprehensive summary of the biology of neosporosis, starting with chapter 1 on the historical background of the discovery of the disease.
Subsequent chapters deal with general aspects of the biology of N. caninum (chapter 2), techniques (chapter 3), and the disease caused by this parasite in cattle (chapter 4), dogs (chapter 5), and all other animals including sheep, pigs, primates and humans (chapters 6-18). This book provides, for the first time in a single authoritative source, a complete account of the structure, biology, clinical disease, diagnosis, epidemiology, treatment, attempts at immunoprophylaxis, and control in all hosts.
There are 175 illustrations and tables devoted to the life cycle, structure of parasitic stages, and lesions.
More than 2100 references are cited, allowing the reader to locate additional information on specific topics in an efficient way.
This book will be useful to a broad range of researchers in biology and veterinarians.

UPDATE: Migrants still stuck at sea, wearing thin
By Kai Dambach Published on : 2019/01/08
The German NGO Sea-Watch reported that migrants onboard its rescue vessel have started to accept food again, but their physical and mental health has taken a terrible toll. The migrants currently off the Maltese coast have been stranded at sea for 18 days.
The Sea-Watch and the Sea-Eye migrant rescue boats are still stranded in the Mediterranean Sea, awaiting permission to dock on European land.
The boats combined to rescue a total of 49 migrants in December and have been refused permission to dock in Italy and Malta. The boats are located just off the coast of Malta.
Tensions on the boats remain high as some of the migrants refused to eat on Monday, according to Sea-Watch. Sea-Watch spokeswoman Giorgia Linardi said the migrants were crammed into a small room and became sick during rough seas.
The migrants on board started to eat again according to a Tuesday tweet, but were upset with European countries that have blocked their attempts to dock on shore.
Good morning from
the ship. It's day 18 for us being held hostage at sea by European governments. The situation is tense but at least everyone's eating again. #United4med
— Sea-Watch International (@seawatch_intl) January 8, 2019
Looking for land
The German government said Monday that it was still looking for a port for the rescue ships. Government spokesman Steffen Seibert called for "a permanent, European, united solution, and to not restart new negotiations with every new ship that brings refugees to a Mediterranean port," according to dpa.
One diplomatic source told AFP that France, Germany, Luxembourg Malta, the Netherlands and Portugal were willing to accept some of the migrants. Romania has also said they were willing to take in five migrants, according to the source. Romania currently holds the six-month rotating EU presidency.
Italian rejection
But Italy and Malta have repeatedly refused to give the rescue vessels permission to dock on their shores. Italian interior minister Matteo Salvini told AFP on Monday, "I don't understand why...if there are 49 people in Maltese waters on German and Dutch boats, it's still the problem of the Italians."
Several Italian mayors and governors who are opposed to tough measures on asylum seekers are attempting to challenge the laws in court. The new law in Italy states asylum seekers are prevented from gaining residency, which is necessary to apply for public housing and access to Italy's national health care system.
Piedmont Governor Sergio Chiamparino told Sky TG24 TV on Monday that he will ask Italy's constitutional court to determine whether this law violates the constitution. Chiamparino added that he would join Tuscany's Governor, Enrico Rossi, in the court challenge. Chiamparino said his region would continue to provide health care for asylum seekers, telling AP that "we are simply obeying a fundamental principle that someone with a health problem gets treatment."
The mayors of Palermo, Naples and some smaller cities said last week that they would not implement the law. However, some mayors, including Milan's said they would implement the law despite being critical of it.

David A. Gauntlett is the principal of Gauntlett & Associates. Mr. Gauntlett is lead counsel in intellectual property antitrust coverage disputes pending in over 30 states throughout the United States and is also responsible for many precedent-making insurance coverage cases involving patent, trademark, and copyright infringement, as well as trade secret misappropriation and unfair competition claims.
Mr. Gauntlett is a nationally recognized speaker and has spoken for C.L.E. credit to organizations which include the American Bar Association, Section of Business Law, Section of Intellectual Property; Section of Litigation, and Section of Tort and Insurance Practice; American Conference Institute; American Electronics Association of California and Arizona; California Bar Association, Intellectual Property Division; Eastern New York Patent Law Association; New York Patent Trademark and Copyright Association; Oregon Patent Law Association; Practicing Law Institute; University of Houston; University of Texas; Washington Patent Law Association; Washington D.C. Patent Law Association; and Wisconsin Intellectual Property Association.
Mr. Gauntlett has also served as an adjunct professor at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, Boalt Hall, where he taught a class entitled Insurance Coverage for Intellectual Property, Antitrust and E Commerce.
I have been smitten with insurance coverage law for over two decades. I recognized early on that insurance coverage could benefit clients through funding litigation which was substantively meritorious but otherwise beyond their economic means. In 1997 I discovered a fascinating interconnection between patent infringement lawsuits and opportunities for insurance coverage under a 1976 ISO CGL policy covering "piracy" as an "advertising injury" offense. I learned that this policy form – which itself was never underwritten but was a marketing response to even broader forms of coverage – offered a broad scope to encompass one of the most challenging areas of legal practice: patent litigation.
After procuring an agreement to defend under a reservation of rights to litigate the defense of a patent infringement suit funded by an insurer, and securing with the assistance of co-defense counsel a favorable result, I obtained a favorable resolution of the right to a defense before the same federal court handling the underlying lawsuit. The principle established, that "piracy" coverage might encompass claims for inducement of patent infringement lawsuits, subsequently led to victories in a number of cases, including a published decision before the Nebraska Supreme Court in 1995.
Subsequent cases addressing coverage for other intellectual property torts such as trademark infringement, copyright infringement and trade secret misappropriation yielded further favorable coverage decisions. As insurers narrowed or modified their policies, new opportunities to explore the intersection between insurance and IP law presented themselves. Antitrust counterclaims asserted in such lawsuits presented exciting opportunities to explore coverage thereunder which could in many instances fund the actual affirmative pursuit of intellectual property claims to the extent that they were defensive of the asserted antitrust allegations.
The intellectual challenges posed by this intersection of IP, antitrust and insurance law, as well as the dynamic character of the contract language that supports coverage therein, became a quest leading to a number of speeches and articles. These in turn were reassembled, reformatted and reconfigured into a treatise in 1999, Insurance Coverage of Intellectual Property Assets (Aspen Law and Business).
Since then, assisting companies in purchasing the broadest forms of coverage available, evaluating potential coverage under a variety of policy forms for a number of business tort claims beyond the core IP and antitrust litigation, and creatively seeking opportunities for insurance in a number of different forums under distinct and variant legal approaches led me to opine on insurance issues under the law of a number of states, as well as to discuss the applicability of United States law abroad in Europe.
The journey continues as opportunities to explore this nexus include a range of multi-media/cybernet policies that a number of major corporations have procured and benefitted from in broadening the scope of their coverage against a range of often unpredictable and expensive business tort risks.
Supported by a number of attorneys, Gauntlett & Associates has continued to be a trailblazer in making new law in these areas of practice. Founded on April 1, 1995 – coincidentally the date my only daughter, Berkeley, was born in 2001 – the firm continues to be at the forefront of this intriguing intersection in which new legal arguments and approaches are required to maximize the possible insurance benefits to corporations throughout their worldwide operations. This blog is the next step in the evolution of the journey and will offer an ongoing dialogue on these intriguing issues.

To clarify interannual variability in sea ice, ocean heat transport, marine ecosystem, and acidification in the Arctic Ocean, seasonal to decadal hindcast experiments are performed using a pan-Arctic sea ice-ocean model. Horizontal resolution is approximately 5 km so that mesoscale eddies and narrow boundary currents can be resolved.
The physical part of the coupled sea ice-ocean model is the "Center for Climate System Research Ocean Component Model (COCO)" version 4.9 (Hasumi, 2006). The sea ice component includes a multi-thickness-category configuration based on that of Bitz et al. (2001) with a one-layer thermodynamic formulation (Bitz and Lipscomb, 1999), the linear-remapping method for category transfer (Lipscomb, 2001), and the elastic-viscous-plastic rheology (Hunke and Dukowicz, 1997). In addition to the open water category, the lower limit of sea ice thickness in each category is set to 10, 30, 60, 100, 250, and 500 cm, respectively (i.e., 7 categories). The ocean component is a free-surface general circulation model formulated using the advection scheme of Leonard et al. (1994) and the turbulence closure mixed-layer scheme of Noh and Kim (1999). The COCO model can be coupled with a lower-trophic marine ecosystem model, "North Pacific Ecosystem Model for Understanding Regional Oceanography (NEMURO)". The detailed configuration of the original NEMURO model, which represents pelagic plankton species (i.e., diatom, flagellate, and copepod), is described in Kishi et al. (2007). Sea ice ecosystem was also incorporated in the GRENE project. In the developed model (called "Arctic NEMURO", hereafter), the habitat of ice algae is confined to a thin skeletal layer. The biogeochemical variables in the sea ice component comprise ice algae (IA), ice-related fauna (IF), nitrate (NO3), ammonium (NH4), silicate (SIL), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), particulate organic nitrogen (PON), and opal (OPL). The model domain contains the entire Arctic Ocean, the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian Seas, and the northern part of the North Atlantic. The horizontal resolution is 5 km, and there are 1,280 × 1,024 grid points. There are 42 hybrid σ-z vertical levels. Vertical resolution varies from 2 m at the top to 500 m at the bottom. The σ-coordinate composed of three levels is applied to the uppermost 10 m. The atmospheric forcing components were constructed from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (NCEP/CFSR) 6-hourly dataset (Saha et al., 2010). Pacific water inflow is provided at the Bering Strait, based on Woodgate et al. (2005). The integration period covers seasonal to interannual timescales depending on computational resources.
