When fashion went fast, natural fur stayed slow. Today, clothing with a long active life is a role model for sustainability in fashion.
Kallas considers revising lobbying register rules
Rules on the European Commission's register of lobbyists could be tightened.

Siim Kallas, the European commissioner for administrative affairs, is considering revising the European Commission's register of lobbyists and interest representatives to tighten its rules on financial disclosure.
Lobbyists on the register would be given less choice about how they disclose their income from clients. A distinction between direct and indirect lobbying activities would be done away with.
The changes being contemplated, which have not yet been put to Kallas's fellow commissioners for approval, would be proposed as part of a review of the first year of operation of the register.
They would also form the basis of negotiations with the European Parliament about merging the Commission's register with the Parliament's register of lobbyists, which is currently separate.
In an interview with European Voice, Kallas said that he favoured requiring consultancies to use a single method for declaring their earnings from clients. Under the current rules, consultancies can declare the income from individual clients as a percentage of their total income (in bands of 10%) or in actual amounts (in bands of €50,000). Kallas wants a single counting system to make it easier to compare data from different companies.
"Probably we have given too wide a choice," he said.
He refused to state his preference explicitly, but he made clear that he saw disadvantages with the percentage bands. Percentages exact less information from big companies with a large turnover and several clients, but reveal more about small organisations with a low income and few clients.
José Lalloum, chairman of the European Public Affairs Consultancies' Association and managing partner of Logos public affairs, said: "Any unilateral change in the rules for the register will not be welcome, especially on financial disclosure." Lalloum said that many consultancies had declared client income in percentage terms. Removing this option would not increase their motivation to sign the register, he said.
Under the rules of the register, industry or trade associations have to declare their total spending on direct lobbying. But the requirement has given rise to disputes over what constitutes direct or indirect lobbying, with different interpretations of how to interpret activity that does not involve face-to-face contact with Commission officials or MEPs. The commissioner will recommend removing the distinction so as to cover a wider range of activities.
Lyn Trytsman-Gray, president of the Society of European Affairs Professionals (SEAP), said that lobbying needed to be defined much more tightly with specific examples of the types of activity that should be treated as lobbying. Dropping the word "direct" would not solve the lack of clarity, she said.
Trytsman-Gray said that it was important for SEAP members that the Commission addressed the procedure for suspending organisations from the register. Referring to a recent case, in which the European chemicals industry council (Cefic) was suspended for under-reporting its spending on lobbying activities, she said companies that had signed up to the register were concerned that the process was unclear and could expose them to unjustified negative publicity. "There has to be some transparent and fair way in which [suspensions], are handled" she said, with greater clarity over timelines and the right to reply.
Kallas said that not enough law firms and think-tanks had signed up to the register and he would be looking for ways to encourage them to do so. Uniting the Commission register with the Parliament register would be one way, because lobbyists value their badge of access to the Parliament buildings.

Trump Pick For Army Secretary Says He Opposes Transgender Equality Because He Must 'Crush Evil'
April 26, 2017 — Suzan
From Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/mark-green-transgender-evil_us_58f8c4cce4b0cb086d7eb012?l1f&ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009
He has also said he believes being transgender is a disease.
By Amanda Terkel
Tennessee state Sen. Mark Green (R), President Donald Trump's choice to be the next Army secretary, believes that part of his mission as a public official is to "crush evil" ― and that opposing transgender equality policies is key to that effort.
As head of the Army, Green would oversee a force that's fully integrated, since the Pentagon ended its ban on transgender people serving openly in June. If confirmed, he would set a significantly different tone than the previous Army secretary, Eric Fanning, who was the first openly gay person to serve in the position.
In June, Green said he opposed allowing people to use the restroom that corresponds with their gender identity, rather than the sex assigned at birth. He told an online radio show he believed the matter should be left up to the states rather than the federal government, and then cited the safety of women as a key reason he personally opposes transgender equality in public accommodations.
"There are 300,000 rapes in the United States every year," Green said. "Three hundred thousand women who are sexually assaulted by predators. We know this. It's documented. It's factual. To think that some young guy isn't going to take advantage of the system where we're going to allow guys to go into the bathroom ― the women's bathroom ― to think that it's not going to happen is just ridiculous."
The need to protect women from sexual predators is a common conservative argument against inclusive bathroom policies. But it's also a red herring. It's already illegal for men to sexually assault women, whether it takes place in a bathroom or some other place. Nothing would change in that regard. And leading organizations dedicated to fighting sexual assault say they support transgender equal access.
States and localities that have implemented transgender-inclusive restroom policies have also said they have not seen an increase in rape and assault because of these laws.
But for Green, there's also a biblical reason to oppose these policies: He needs to "crush evil":
And as far as the religious argument goes, and this applies to the issue of Syrian refugees as well. There's a big fuss about whether or not that we should sue the federal government over having to take refugees from Syria into the State of Tennessee, I believe we should sue the federal government in that case because Romans 13 is pretty doggone clear, this is the passage where it tells people to submit to the authorities – meaning, basically if you're in the government, you should do what the government tells you to do. You know, don't speed, all that kind of stuff. Obey the laws is basically what the passage says. But what it goes on to say is that because the government exists for two purposes.
The government exists to honor those people who live honorably, who do good things – to reward people who behave well and to crush evil. So that means as a state senator, my responsibility very clearly in Romans 13 is to create an environment where people who do right are rewarded and the people who do wrong are crushed. Evil is crushed.
So I'm going to protect women in their bathrooms, and I'm going to protect our state against potential infiltration from the Syrian ISIS people in the refugee program. And whoever wants to stand up and take me on that, I'm ready to fight.
"The Trump Administration must have been desperate to fill this post because Mark Green's anti-LGBTQ remarks should disqualify anyone seeking to be in charge of the United States Army, which includes many out and proud soldiers," said Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD, an LGBTQ advocacy group. "Our nation is strongest when we are together ― and calling transgender people 'evil' does just the opposite."

Enquiry from Online Galleries regarding "An Exceptional Silver-Gilt and Cut-Glass Travel Necessaire"
An Exceptional Louis XVI Style Silver-Gilt and Cut-Glass Travel Necessaire by Boin Taburet, Paris.
This very fine necessaire has an oak case with its original blue silk lining fitted with a table mirror, a pair of three-light candlesticks, three pairs of cut-glass perfume bottles, a pair of hairbrushes, a small hairbrush, a pin box and a pair of rectangular clothes brushes. Each piece is engraved with the initials NM beneath a Marquis Crown and flanked by laurel branches.
The lock engraved 'BOIN TABURET 3, rue Pasquier, Paris'.


M Shed, Bristol's new and innovate Museum's 1st floor plays host to an array of functions and meetings. Monowa have now installed various combinations of operable walls to meet this challenge. In order to achieve the requirement for privacy, easy accessibility to a number of rooms by creating a corridor, and take best advantage of the fantastic views, we installed a series 100-GP which incorporates vision panels with magnetically operated internal blinds.
Also a Bi parting series 75 encloses this room, where the centre panels are finished in a veneer to match the existing doors in the building, while another two series 100 have then been positioned in such a way as to provide multiple room size options again with veneered pass doors.


Darryl "Deko" Stewart gives a cut and shave to George Bernier at his shop in Orland. The two were coworkers together at the Verso Paper Mill before it was shut down.
When the Verso Paper Mill in Bucksport closed down five years ago, Darryl "Deko" Stewart found himself without a full-time job, and a need to quickly find a source of income to support his family. Drawing on the inspiration of years spent in his uncle's barber shops in New York City, he decided to follow his real passion and attend school to become a certified barber.
Stewart attended school in Augusta to get his certification, and has been busy making a name for himself ever since. He operates Deko's Kutz at the Community Center in Orland and is in Castine at Lethabo Massage Studio and Day Spa on Tuesdays each week.
Stewart connects to the Castine community through Maine Maritime Academy students, many of whom have chosen him as their barber.
"These kids are from all over the country, it's really cool that they trust me to be that person who can remind them of where they get their hair cut back at home. It reminds them a little of home, which is great," he said.
In Maine, a barber can only become a Master Barber after an apprenticeship under a cosmetologist. Stewart is doing that with his time at Lethabo, a commitment he said is worth the 2,500 hours of time he needs to complete the license.
Stewart is inspired by the barber shops of old, when guys would walk in off the street, gather in the barber shop and tell stories, jokes, rumors, and use the shop as their own little community.
Stewart takes walk-ins only, which allows people to get a feel of what he does. From the initial "what are we doing today?" question to the back rub at the end of the cut, Stewart says he enjoys that people can come in and see something happen from start to finish.
Stewart's passion keeps him running through the six days a week he is open, and he said he is grateful that he has been able to have a successful shop in a small area.
Stewart is open Monday and Wednesday through Saturday in Orland and is in Castine all day on Tuesday.


In 2007, Jamaica National Group acquired Pelican Finance Limited from NEM Insurance Company (Ja) Limited, now rebranded JN General Insurance Company. In a move to fully integrate the company into the JN Group, Pelican Finance became JN Finance Limited in February 2008. With this name change came a thrust to strengthen the entity with market repositioning and by widening its customer network. In 2012, JN Finance Limited became a division of JN Bank and continues to be offer preferred insurance premium financing services in Jamaica, supporting the objective that each motor vehicle and home should be insured. Therefore, it is primarily involved in providing insurance premium financing loans for general insurance needs.
JN Finance is steadily commanding its share of the market. During the past financial year, the division maintained its strategy of high quality customer service, aggressive cost containment and close receivables management. JN Finance Division is appreciative of the efforts of its small, but dedicated team and the insurance brokerage community, whose contributions proved invaluable to its results.

Watch: Don't Touch Your Face, Directed by Leah Shore, Music by Gina Volpe
It's hard not to touch your face — something I, and many of you, have undoubtedly learned in recent weeks. As much as I now better understand epidemiological chains of transmission, I still sometimes slip up. So, I'm going to try to keep this punk earworm by the Lunachick's Gina Volpe — here visualized in a brashly impactful video by Leah Shore, a 2013 25 New Face — in my head as I (only very occasionally and necessarily) venture out into the world.

"With Animation I Can Reach Beyond What's Just in Front of Me": Writer/Director Geoff Marslett on his Sundance Animated Short The Phantom 52
A restless trucker (credited as the titular "Phantom") tugs his wheels across the highway and calls out to fellow drivers over his CB radio. No one else is on the road and no one reciprocates his cries via electronic airwaves. Eventually, the endless road gives to an endless ocean and the big rigs of the freeway morph into the whale varieties of the water. Whale calls, clicks, and songs reverberating over long distances in the ocean stand in for the Semis CB radios. But our Phantom's whale calls out at a 52hz frequency, and no whale hears at 52hz, so […]

"VR is Not Another Kind of Filmmaking": Baobab Studios' Eric Darnell on Animated VR
If you'd mentioned Eric Darnell's name a few years ago, most people would have thought of the Madagascar films or the Penguins of Madagascar spin-off, all of which he co-directed while at DreamWorks Animation, where he also directed Antz and contributed to films like The Prince of Egypt and Shrek. But think of him today and you're just as likely to conjure up images of bumbling aliens, a fluffy and resourceful bunny or a multicolored crow, and all in virtual reality. That's because Darnell is the co-founder and chief creative officer at Baobab Studios, which in just two years has established itself as one of the United […]

In 2014 I spoke with Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, respectively the writer/director and co-director/co-writer/producer of Loving Vincent, an animated film about the final days of Vincent Van Gogh's life that was then in preproduction. Three and a half years and much blood, sweat and tears later the film is complete and premiered at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival last week. It's been gaining attention since its initial failed Kickstarter campaign (a second go was more successful) for its production method, with a team of artists creating each frame in the style of Van Gogh with oil paint on canvas, the […]

Tribeca 2017: Five Questions with Rainbow Crow Producer Maureen Fan
One of my favorite virtual reality pieces at last year's Tribeca Film Festival was the animated Invasion! from San Francisco-based Baobab Studios. The short film, directed by Baobab co-founder Eric Darnell, was reportedly downloaded over one million times (including in my household, where my kids loved its Google Cardboard version), making it the most-downloaded virtual reality piece yet, and in September a feature film adaptation was announced. Baobab thus had a high bar for their next project, so they launched two: Asteroids!, which premiered at Sundance in January, and now Rainbow Crow, which premiered this year at Tribeca.

Pills & Pillow-Talk
Carol Cooper – trained to observe, born to write.
Warning: A Doctor Rants
Posted in Pills	by carolcooper
Vaccines had a bad press a few years ago, but things have changed, or so I thought. That's why I was surprised when this week a university student refused the freshers' dose of meningitis C vaccine. I was even more surprised when he told me that his father, a doctor in another European country, was against vaccination.
University students are at higher risk of meningitis. One in four 15-19 year olds carries meningococcal bacteria in the back of the throat, as opposed to one in 10 of the general UK population. And, if you haven't been a fresher for a while, imagine all that mingling with hundreds of other young people, often in crowded conditions.
There's lots of useful info on meningitis, and on vaccines. Alas, I only know sites for fluent English speakers, and the lad in front of me wasn't one of them.
I jokingly told him I wanted words with his dad. But in reality that was never going to happen. In general practice there's barely time for a long discussion with a patient, let alone with family. Consultation rates with GPs have gone up in the last 20 years to around eight consultations per person a year. Along with that, patient expectations have risen. No bad thing in itself, but it requires more time.
Many areas are bulging with an influx of new patients. London has a particularly mobile population but it's not the only place where there are migrants, refugees, or simply new housing. Some arrivals speak little English, so interpreters are needed, and the consultation takes twice as long as a result.
The pattern of work has shifted. As hospitals shed more care onto general practice, and send patients home sooner, GPs inevitably must do more. Around 90% of medical care now takes place in surgeries, by GPs, nurses and other members of the health team.
The structure of health care has changed with the advent of clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). In my view, that work takes a lot of good GPs away from face-to-face patient care.
Professional development makes demands too. I have to keep up to date, and these days I also have to prove it via appraisal and revalidation. People believed something had to be done post-Shipman, so now we spend time counting lots of things that don't count. I hope that changes, but meanwhile preparing for annual appraisal takes two hours a week.
Providing good medical care is now a real struggle. GPs are retiring, and a sizeable chunk of medics are leaving the country.
There's nobody to replace them.
Like many GPs, I teach medical students. That time too must come out of a busy week. But here's what really worries me about teaching.
In the last 10 years I've noticed that fewer students now want to be GPs. Yet not so long ago new doctors were falling over each other to join practices.
It's no wonder that doctors in the UK are angry and fed up. New changes imposed by government are likely to make things worse. In many areas, NHS general practice can barely provide a decent service five days a week. How can it stretch to seven days?
I'm not against change. General practice changes all the time. That's part of its attraction as a speciality. But the developments I've lived through now make it almost impossible to do the job properly.

All so true and consistent with my shopping & lunch friend who's a recently-retired-and-gone-back GP. The NHS has gone mad or rather the governments have all been mad as hatters with what they've been doing to it. Our daughter who works in mental health (nursing) has similar stories – no time to do the therapeutic work she's trained for, place run like a prison really, or an old-fashioned asylum. The post-Shipman ideas look crazy to the outsider: like how can these appraisals and re-whats-its ever stop a weirdo doing what he did? Surely there's a less expensive, in time and money, way to keep an eye on anyone being devious than what has been put in place?!

I kept my post clean! Yes, you're absolutely right: it's not just general practice that has big problems.

You have my sympathy Carol for the difficulty in doing a good job for patients. I got out because of that struggle. Also not helped by your supposedly educated patient having such an ignorant attitude to vaccination. Heaven help his father's patients too if that is his standard of care.
It's a pretty thankless task at times, isn't it? It's tempting to think I can change those entrenched opinions, but at this stage in my career I've lost the rose-tinted glasses, and there are so many more people needing my attention.

Sony denies working on AOSP ROMs for Xperia smartphones
October 2, 2014 40 sec read
There have been rumors of Sony working on stock AOSP ROMs for its Xperia series of phones. This naturally excited a lot of people, as it meant you could have a stock Android experience on your Xperia device and since the ROM came from the manufacturer itself, it would mostly be stable and usable for everyday use.
There has been a rumor going around recently that Sony is developing AOSP ROMs for some of its high-end smartphones and tablets. An AOSP ROM would bring a near vanilla Android OS experience to these devices and do away with any and all customizations that the company might have made to the OS. Sony has come out today and clarified that it is not developing any such software. Well to be fair, Sony has said that its not developing AOSP ROMs for now, that doesn't mean it won't do this at some point in the future. The company has clarified in a blog post that it is currently not its plan to release AOSP ROMs but calls the idea "interesting" owing to the feedback it has received online.

Un secuenciador es un dispositivo electrónico físico o una aplicación informática que permite programar y reproducir eventos musicales previamente grabados de forma secuencial mediante una interfaz de control físico o lógico conectado a uno o más instrumentos musicales electrónicos. La interfaz de control más extendida es el estándar MIDI.

El secuenciador es la herramienta principal de composición, programación y control sobre los equipos de instrumentación electrónica musical (sintetizadores, samplers, cajas de ritmos, procesadores de señal, etc).

Orígenes
Aunque el origen del secuenciador es eminentemente electrónico, se puede decir que uno de los secuenciadores más básicos y antiguos que se conocen es la caja de música. A partir de los pequeños dientes que sobresalen de un rodillo giratorio se hacen sonar una serie de lengüetas metálicas afinadas según la escala musical. La secuencia, pues, se encuentra "grabada" en el rodillo giratorio, que realmente es una transcripción de la partitura en forma de datos (cada diente correspondería a un evento). Análogamente al funcionamiento de la caja de música encontramos la pianola, solo que en este caso la secuencia se encuentra en el cartón perforado.

Los primeros secuenciadores electrónicos aparecieron en los años 1970 y eran analógicos, al igual que los primeros sintetizadores. La interfaz que utilizaban era el llamado CV/Gate o control por voltaje y consistía en enviar impulsos de corriente continua con un nivel de tensión en función de la altura de la nota. Eran muy limitados y arduos de programar; solo permitían controlar un aparato a la vez y tenían pocos compases disponibles. La aparición del sistema MIDI en 1983 y el avance de la tecnología digital en materia musical supusieron una verdadera revolución al permitir controlar varios dispositivos a la vez, así como los parámetros que afectan a la reproducción del sonido (volumen, aftertouch, panorama, modulación, portamento, reverb, chorus, etc). Fue en este punto cuando comenzaron a comercializarse los primeros secuenciadores digitales (físicos) y programas secuenciadores para ordenadores, que han ido ganando complejidad y prestaciones con el paso de los años.

Funcionamiento
El funcionamiento básico de un secuenciador en forma de aplicación informática pasa por una sección principal donde se visualizan todas las pistas, donde cada pista corresponde a un sonido o a una fuente sonora externa y los parámetros que las afectan de forma global como el volumen, la entonación, el panorama, o el canal MIDI, así como los controles de reproducción (play, stop, loop, tempo, etc) y las funciones básicas de copiar y pegar, mute (silenciar), solo, mover partes, fusionar partes, etc. En lo tocante a la edición encontramos varias secciones, siendo las más relevantes el rodillo de piano, la partitura y la lista de eventos.

Rodillo de piano: Es la forma de edición más extendida. Consiste en un teclado virtual adjunto a una cuadrícula donde se representan los compases, al mismo tiempo están subdivididos en una cantidad preestablecida (blancas, negras, corcheas, semicorcheas, etc). La forma de componer es dibujando literalmente las notas, variando la altura y la duración sobre la cuadrícula. Como se aprecia el funcionamiento es muy parecido al de una pianola.
Partitura: Más extendida en usuarios de formación clásica y académica. Como el nombre indica, su forma de edición es sobre un pentagrama con la simbología propia del solfeo. Es preciso decir que mientras se va componiendo, independientemente de la forma de edición, el programa crea automáticamente la partitura correspondiente.
Lista de eventos: Es el propio código fuente de programación. Es útil a la hora de modificar puntualmente algún tipo de evento en concreto, sobre todo, los que no afectan a la altura o a la duración de la nota (aftertouch, modulación, portamento, niveles de efecto, etc.)

Historia

Primeros secuenciadores

Los primeros secuenciadores eran dispositivos que producían sonidos tales como instrumentos musicales automáticos, cajas de música, órganos mecánicos, pianolas y orquestiones. Las pianolas, por ejemplo, tenían mucho en común con los secuenciadores contemporáneos. Los compositores o arreglistas transmitían la música a los rollos de piano, que posteriormente eran editados por técnicos que preparaban los rollos para su duplicación masiva. Con el tiempo, los consumidores podían comprar estos rollos y reproducirlos en sus propios pianos.

El origen de los instrumentos musicales automáticos parece muy antiguo. Ya en el , los hermanos persas Banū Mūsā inventaron un órgano que utilizaba cilindros intercambiables con clavijas, y también una flauta automática que tocaba con energía de vapor, tal y como se describe en su Libro de ingenios. El flautista automático de los hermanos Banu Musa fue el primer dispositivo secuenciador musical programable, y el primer ejemplo de tecnología musical repetitiva, impulsada por hidráulica.

En 1206, Al-Jazari, un ingeniero árabe, inventó autómatas musicales programables, un "robot banda" que realizaba "más de cincuenta acciones faciales y corporales durante cada selección musical"." Fue notablemente la primera caja de ritmos programable. Entre los cuatro músicos autómatas había dos baterías. Se trataba de una caja de ritmos en la que clavijas (cams) chocaban con pequeñas palancas que accionaban la percusión. Se podía hacer que la percusión tocara diferentes ritmos y diferentes patrones de tambor si se movían las clavijas.

En el , se utilizaban cilindros giratorios con clavijas para tocar un carillón (órgano de vapor) en Flandes, y, al menos en el , se vieron organillos en los Países Bajos.

Estos instrumentos se difundieron ampliamente como dispositivos de entretenimiento popular antes de la invención de los fonógrafos, las radios y las películas sonoras, que acabaron por eclipsar todos estos dispositivos de producción musical doméstica.
De todos ellos, los soportes de cinta de papel perforado se utilizaron hasta mediados del . Los primeros sintetizadores de música programables, incluyendo el sintetizador de sonido RCA Mark II en 1957, y el sintetizador Siemens en 1959, también se controlaban a través de cintas perforadas similares a los rollos de piano.

Invenciones adicionales surgieron de la película sonora tecnología de audio. La técnica de sonido dibujado que apareció a fines de la década de 1920, es notable como precursora de las interfaz gráfica de usuario intuitivas de hoy. En esta técnica, las notas y varios parámetros de sonido se activan mediante formas de onda de tinta negra dibujadas a mano directamente sobre el sustrato de la película, por lo que se asemejan a rollos de piano (o los "gráficos de tiras" de los secuenciadores/DAW modernos). La banda sonora dibujada se usaba a menudo en la música electrónica experimental temprana, incluido el Variophone desarrollado por Yevgeny Sholpo en 1930, y el Oramics diseñado por Daphne Oram en 1957, y así sucesivamente.

Secuenciadores análogos

Durante los años 1940-1960, Raymond Scott, compositor estadounidense de música electrónica, inventó varios tipos de secuenciadores musicales para sus composiciones eléctricas.  El "Wall of Sound", que en su día se cubrió en la pared de su estudio en Nueva York durante los años 1940-1950, era un secuenciador electromecánico para producir patrones rítmicos, que consistía en relés escalonados (utilizados en pulsos de marcación de centrales telefónicas), solenoides, interruptores de control y circuitos de tono con 16 osciladores individuales. Más tarde, Robert Moog lo explicaría en términos tales como "toda la habitación hacía 'clack - clack - clack', y los sonidos salían por todas partes".
La Máquina del Círculo, desarrollada en 1959, tenía bombillas incandescentes cada una con su propio reóstato, dispuestas en un anillo, y un brazo giratorio con fotocélula que escaneaba sobre el anillo, para generar una forma de onda arbitraria. Además, la velocidad de rotación del brazo se controlaba a través del brillo de las luces, y como resultado se generaban ritmos arbitrarios.
El primer secuenciador electrónico fue inventado por Raymond Scott, utilizando tiratróns y relés.

Clavivox, desarrollado desde 1952, era una especie de sintetizador de teclado con secuenciador.  En su prototipo, se utilizó un theremin fabricado por el joven Robert Moog para permitir el portamento en un rango de 3 octavas, y en la versión posterior, se sustituyó por un par de película fotográfica y fotocélula para controlar el tono por voltaje.

En 1968 Ralph Lundsten y [eo Nilsson hicieron construir para ellos un sintetizador polifónico con secuenciador llamado Andromatic por Erkki Kurenniemi.

Secuenciadores por pasos

El secuenciador por pasos reproducía patrones rígidos de notas utilizando una cuadrícula de (normalmente) 16 botones, o pasos, siendo cada paso 1/16 de un medida. Estos patrones de notas se encadenaban para formar composiciones más largas.  Los secuenciadores de este tipo siguen utilizándose, sobre todo en las cajas de ritmos y en las cajas de ritmos. Son monofónicos por naturaleza, aunque algunos son de timbres múltiples, lo que significa que pueden controlar varios sonidos diferentes, pero sólo tocan una nota en cada uno de esos sonidos.

Los primeros ordenadores

Por otra parte, los secuenciadores de software se utilizaron continuamente desde la década de 1950 en el contexto de la música por ordenador, incluyendo la música reproducida por ordenador (secuenciador de software), la música compuesta por ordenador (síntesis musical) y la generación de sonido por ordenador (síntesis de sonido). En junio de 1951, la primera música por ordenador Coronel Bogey se reprodujo en el CSIRAC, el primer ordenador digital de Australia. En 1956, Lejaren Hiller en la Universidad de Illinois en Urbana-Champaign escribió uno de los primeros programas de composición musical por ordenador en el ILLIAC, y colaboró en la primera pieza, Illiac Suite para cuarteto de cuerdas, con Leonard Issaction. En 1957 Max Mathews en Bell Labs escribió MUSIC, el primer programa ampliamente utilizado para la generación de sonido, y la computadora IBM 704 interpretó una composición de 17 segundos. Posteriormente, la música por computadora se investigó principalmente en las costosas computadoras centrales de los centros informáticos, hasta la década de 1970, cuando las minicomputadoras y luego las microcomputadoras estuvieron disponibles en este campo.

En Japón, los experimentos con música mediante computadora se remontan a 1962, cuando el profesor Sekine de la Universidad Keio y el ingeniero de Toshiba Hayashi experimentaron con la computadora TOSBAC. De este trabajo resultó la pieza titulada TOSBAC Suite.
 En 1965, Mathews y L. Rosler desarrollaron Graphic 1, un sistema interactivo de sonido gráfico (que implica secuenciador) en el que se podían dibujar figuras con un lápiz óptico que se convertirían en sonido, simplificando el proceso de componer música generada por ordenador. Utilizaba el miniordenador PDP-5 para la entrada de datos, y el ordenador central IBM 7094 para la reproducción del sonido. También en 1970, Mathews y F. R. Moore desarrollaron el GROOVE (Generated Real-time Output Operations on Voltage-controlled Equipment), un primer sistema de síntesis musical completamente desarrollado para la composición interactiva (que implica secuenciador) y la interpretación en tiempo real, utilizando el 3C/Honeywell DDP-24 (o DDP-224). Utilizaba una pantalla CRT para simplificar la gestión de la síntesis musical en tiempo real, un D/A de 12 bits para la reproducción de sonido en tiempo real, una interfaz para dispositivos analógicos e incluso varios controladores que incluían un teclado musical, mandos y joysticks giratorios para capturar la interpretación en tiempo real.

Secuenciadores digitales
En 1971, Electronic Music Studios (EMS) lanzó uno de los primeros productos secuenciadores digitales como módulo de Synthi 100, y su derivación, Synthi Sequencer series.
Después de eso, Oberheim lanzó el secuenciador digital DS-2 en 1974, y Sequential Circuits lanzó el modelo 800 en 1977

Estaciones de trabajo musicales
En 1975, New England Digital (NED) lanzó el ordenador ABLE (microordenador) como unidad de procesamiento de datos dedicada para el Sintetizador Digital Dartmouth (1973), y con base en él se desarrollaron las series posteriores de Synclavier.

El Synclavier I, lanzado en septiembre de 1977, fue uno de los primeros productos de estación de trabajo musical digital con secuenciador multipista.  La serie Synclavier evolucionó a lo largo de los últimos años de la década de 1970 hasta mediados de la década de 1980, y también establecieron la integración de audio digital y secuenciador musical, en su opción Direct-to-Disk en 1984, y más tarde el sistema Tapeless Studio.

Posted on 21 December 2018 21 December 2018 by PCS Admin
Kathryn Dent, Director and Rohan Burn, Associate
Processes that audit or review organisational systems and practices can provide an organisation with prudent information about compliance, risk and culture. However, organisations may be hesitant or lack the motivation to proactively undertake such processes. Often, they are a response to a particular event or circumstance or are instituted by the need to gather certain information. In this article, we explore three situations which may trigger an audit process, what the audit process may look like, and how an organisation may seek to change as a result of the outcomes of such a process.
What might trigger an audit?
Conduct and/or organisational culture concerns
It is important for an organisation to have an awareness of its cultural health and to be responsive to any situations that jeopardise this. Organisations that ignore their workplace culture may be more exposed to greater risks of poor employee satisfaction, non-compliance with workplace policies, and claims of workplace discrimination, bullying or harassment. If these risks materialise then an organisation may respond by conducting a culture audit and/or an investigation into any alleged misconduct. Depending on the circumstances, an organisation may need to conduct an audit or review process in response to a particular complaint, general concerns expressed by the workforce as a whole, or to satisfy a regulatory agency such as a work health and safety authority. In the case of allegations of inappropriate workplace behaviour, organisations may be subject to additional pressure due to the speed at which information is exchanged in the social media environment, which can expose an organisation to significant reputational risks that may have ramifications in terms of an organisation's bottom line. Thoroughly investigating and managing an employee's complaint and the wider cultural issues of a workplace can also be a powerful symbol to both internal and external stakeholders that the organisation takes such matters seriously.
Financial and/or compliance issues
External financial or compliance audits may be instigated by bodies such as the Australian Taxation Office ("ATO") or the Fair Work Ombudsman ("FWO"). To avoid being "caught out", organisations may proactively instigate an internal review in preparation, for example, for a FWO or ATO announced compliance campaign targeting their particular industry. A related scenario is where an individual employee notifies their employer of their intention to contact an agency such as the FWO to make a complaint, for example about wages or related entitlements. Subject to operational requirements and an organisation's perception of risk, an internal review into that specific employee's payments or the wider payment practices of the organisation may be appropriate, as it can shed light on whether there are any systemic problems of this nature within the organisation.
Audits are not only conducted in response to existing liabilities but may also be performed to assess the future liabilities of an organisation. In particular, when an organisation is considering the acquisition of a new business, an audit is a vital step in assessing the value of that target business. This type of audit forms part of the "due diligence" process that an organisation performs. It can inform the terms on which an acquisition is negotiated and can help to avoid unexpected problems and additional costs associated with the potential liabilities of the target business.
What form do these audits take?
There is no "one-size fits all" method for responding to allegations of misconduct or poor cultural health within an organisation. The first step for an organisation is often to conduct an investigation to determine whether there is any factual basis for the complaint or concerns and to identify the best way for the organisation to respond. In investigating a particular complaint of misconduct, an organisation needs to be mindful of whether the problem is more widespread and whether a broader cultural audit is required. An organisation's response will usually be predicated on a close consideration of the legislative obligations, relevant workplace policies and any relevant industrial instruments. In terms of the wider cultural implications, an organisation may need to have regard to how it communicates its behavioural expectations, its approach to training, and what its employee engagement surveys and analysis of employee leave patterns might say about the organisation's culture.
A basic financial audit of employee entitlements involves the reviewing of wages, pay slips, leave entitlements, incentive schemes, rosters, contracts, and indicators of actual hours worked. An employer should take into account the type of work the employee is performing and the terms of any applicable industrial instrument, including those that provide for minimum rates of pay, overtimes, loadings and other allowances.
Subject to time pressures, budgets, and any agreed parameters for the process, a due diligence audit can involve considering the target business' governance structures, as well as any applicable industrial instruments and employment contracts to ascertain any risks that may be associated with, for example, confidential information and intellectual property clauses, or the incorrect characterisation of an employment relationship. It is important to know the source of the employees' terms and conditions of employment, and whether the employees are covered by a modern award or enterprise agreement, particularly because there are circumstances where the terms and conditions under an award or enterprise agreement will follow the employees when there is a transfer of business. The due diligence process may also reveal the extent to which employee benefits, such as accrued leave entitlements and other liabilities may affect the sale price of a business.
What might an organisation change as a result?
The starting point in achieving acceptable workplace behaviour and fostering the desired workplace culture is ensuring that all levels of an organisation are aligned and also aware of their legal obligations and they monitor and enforce compliance. If an investigation into misconduct substantiates findings of inappropriate or even unlawful behaviours it may be appropriate for an employer to take disciplinary action. Where conduct is revealed, a failure to act can cause problems when the organisation is confronted with similar behaviours in the future that it seeks to address. If cultural problems have been identified, then it is important for an organisation to enhance the capability of its managers to become effective leaders. A healthy workplace culture can reduce an employer's financial costs, increase employee health, well-being and productivity, increase attraction and retention of employees, and reduce an employer's risk profile in terms of its exposure to bullying, discrimination and harassment type claims.
The first response to an audit, for example, on employee entitlements may be to rectify any underpayments and to inform any affected parties. In situations where there has been an overpayment to employees, we recommend seeking advice because of prescriptive provisions in the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) that prohibit an employer from simply deducting such an overpayment from subsequent wages. In circumstances where underpayments or overpayments have not occurred, the audit may nevertheless reveal potential risks of future non-compliance that necessitate changes to an organisation's systems and structures, as well as its human resources processes. Organisations may also take the opportunity to address any inconsistencies between employees' entitlements by overhauling its remuneration structure.
If risks are identified through the due diligence process then, depending on the seriousness of these risks, the potential buyer may seek to renegotiate the price of the transaction, or seek specific warranties or indemnities in relation to those risks. If these risks cannot be resolved, then the potential buyer may seek to withdraw from the transaction altogether. The audit may also identify a target organisation's need to rectify its practices before a sale and its reliance on key employees that the potential buyer may seek to retain through more generous terms of employment in order to capitalise on their skills and to maintain consistency during the change period.
In all cases, any audit should not be regarded as presenting a complete and objective picture of an organisation. As mentioned, the scope of the audit can be limited and any reliance on the audit should be similarly qualified. Audits themselves are not completely free from risk and the audit process should be monitored to ensure it is free from bias and those being audited are afforded a fair process. Notwithstanding this, audits provide useful insights into an organisation and communicate positive messages to stakeholders about a company's diligence and concerns around compliance and culture. The process of responding to these "triggers" with an audit is valuable in itself, again in terms of the messages that conducting an audit conveys. Rather than ignoring these trigger events and their wider implications, responding with an audit is an action that is likely to be of substantial benefit to organisations and is strongly recommended.

His most notable work is the four-volume Book of the New Sun (1980-1983). Many have discussed the mystifying and esoteric aspects of this notoriously multi-layered series, but it is also an entertaining read on the surface level: one Wolfe fan has described it as something like "a Star Wars–style space opera penned by G. K. Chesterton in the throes of a religious conversion." There is a good appreciation of New Sun at The Augustine Institute's Faith & Culture journal.
Wolfe's Catholicism permeated his writing. When I first started The Catholic Culture Podcast, a young priest emailed me to suggest that I interview Wolfe: a capital idea, but I felt I would need to spend a great deal more time with his work before I could conduct an interview. Since that will never happen, I'm glad that others took the opportunity to ask him about his Catholicism in relation to his fiction (of which this interview may be the most extensive discussion). And I am even gladder, since he has gone to face his judgment, to hear those who met him say he was a kind, warm and gentle man. May he go swiftly to God's kingdom.

Occupy Los Angeles Vows to Stay Despite Mayor's Deadline
Posted by admin on November 27, 2011 in Occupy Wall Street, World Events · 0 Comments
NEW YORK | Sunday, November 27th, 2011 8:48am EDT
By Katerina Sazonova
http://www.theblogismine.com/2011/11/27/occupy-los-angeles-vows-to-stay-despite-mayors-deadline/
Despite a fast-approaching deadline set by the mayor and police chief, very few of the anti-Wall Street protesters from Occupy Los Angeles had begun breaking down their tents Saturday on the City Hall lawn – and most said they didn't intend to.
The City Hall park where Occupy Los Angeles protesters are camped will be closed at 12:01 a.m. Monday, according to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, triggering what officials hope will be an end to the nation's largest remaining Occupy camp. Photo: Greg Lilly/Flickr
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced Friday that despite his sympathy for the protesters' cause, it was time for the camp of nearly 500 tents to leave for the sake of public health and safety.
Speaking before cameras on Friday, Villaraigosa read from a letter addressed to Occupy Los Angeles. The mayor, himself a former labor union and community organizer, praised the protesters for shifting the national dialogue to issues of social justice and economic equality.
"In seven short weeks, you have awakened the country's conscience," he said. "You have given voice to those who have not been heard."
The mayor said the movement is at a "crossroads," and it must "move from holding a particular patch of park to spreading the message of economic justice."
The mayor said officials here had done things differently by negotiating with protesters. "From the start, we've talked with one another and we've listened to each other," he said, before being interrupted by a protester who had found his way into the news conference and shouted: "You haven't listened!"
But police might not immediately begin removing protesters who linger, the mayor said at a news conference Friday with Police Chief Charlie Beck.
He added that officials hope in the coming days to help protesters move their belongings and to find beds in homeless shelters for those at the camp who need them.
Villaraigosa expressed pride that Los Angeles has lacked the tension, confrontation and violence seen at similar protests in other cities. But that peace was likely to get its biggest test on Monday.
Police gave few specifics about what tactics they would use for those who had no intention of leaving.
Chief Charlie Beck said at Friday's news conference that officers would definitely not be sweeping through the camp and arresting everyone just after midnight.
When Occupy protesters set up camp on the City Hall lawn seven weeks ago, officials went out of their way to welcome them.
The City Council passed a resolution in support of the demonstration, and council President Eric Garcetti invited protesters to "stay as long as you need to." On a wet morning in October, aides to Villaraigosa handed out rain slickers.
But in an interview with the Los Angeles Times on Sunday, Beck said that despite the lack of confrontations in the camp's two-month run, he was realistic about what must happen.
"I have no illusions that everybody is going to leave," Beck said in an interview with the Times. "We anticipate that we will have to make arrests." But he added, "We certainly will not be the first ones to apply force."
On Thursday, Occupy L.A. released its first official statement to the city, vowing to stay camped out on the lawn.
According to protester Ruth Fowler, the statement was written by several hundred protesters and was approved with 100% consensus during Wednesday's general assembly meeting. In it, protesters said they would cease further negotiations with officials until 10 grievances were addressed.
Will Picard, who sat Saturday in a tent amid his artwork with a "notice of eviction" sign posted outside, said the main organizers and most occupiers he knows intend to stay.
"Their plan is to resist the closure of this encampment and if that means getting arrested so be it," Picard said. "I think they just want to make the police tear it down rather than tear it down themselves."
Some demands on the list are specific, like a call for a moratorium on all home foreclosures in Los Angeles, as well as a call for the city to divest from all major banks. Others, such as a call for "money to be removed from politics," are less so. The protesters also want a new name for the 1.7 acres of lawn surrounding City Hall: "Solidarity Park."
Some Occupy protesters say they won't willingly leave the City Hall park and have called on supporters to join them. It remains to be seen whether labor unions will play a role if and when police move in to evict protesters. [via Huff Post, Los Angeles Times and Fox News]

Zachary Walsh – Greek Street
August 6, 2009 contemporary, painting, portraitureMark Sheerin
Published on Culture 24
Zachary Walsh – Greek Street, Ink_d Gallery, Brighton, until August 23 2009
Zeus has you fixed with a hard stare. It's a surprise to meet him in the flesh like this and he looks avuncular, somewhat amused, yet quizzical. It's definitely him because stretching out behind are eagle wings and to his side is an old-fashioned dial telephone marked with the word God.
The father of Olympus could look alive and well for two reasons. First, he's painted in a contemporary style with a bold graphic background. Second, the sitter really is alive; the subject is also father of the partner of artist Zachary Walsh.
A picture of a painting of a woman in a white gown with a telephone in front of a cross
His wife, naturally, is painted as Hera. She too looks very much like someone you could meet in the street tomorrow. Walsh gives us a sense of her (slightly world-weary) personality, so that her realism comes as a shock. It's not what we expect from our gods.
In fact all the models for this show are friends or relatives of the artist. It first took two to three hours to photograph each before working out their immortal counterpart. Needless to say the results are flattering. They also breathe new life into Greek myth.
Hades is cast as perhaps a louche, aging rock star. Persephone is a woman just past her prime. Hades and the Abduction of Persephone, as painted here, looks tender, touching and and entirely consensual.
Most of the settings in this show are flat plains of colour. Walsh also uses photographs to build on his interpretations. Hades is flanked with dinosaur skulls. Orpheus poses with a double bass. Of all the birds sacred to Aphrodite, she is here shown with the swan.
Walsh says his interest in Greek myth comes from the way each story offers psychological clues about every living human. "Even after millennia this insight is ever relevant, but really I just love the magic," he adds.
The magic continues upstairs with some eleven pictures of Cyclops along with Medusa, a sparrow-like siren and Argus, the giant with a hundred eyes. These monster paintings are smaller, uglier and appear not to be portraits of friends and relatives. But if only they were.

Linking past and present in Nuremberg
"This will be easy to see," said Annelise, our guide, flipping off the lights in the chilly sandstone beer cellar that had been converted to an air-raid shelter during World War II. A small plaque on the wall glowed with electric-lime phosphorescence. It was, she told us, an emergency exit sign for the 50,000 civilians who had fled — two to a square meter — to these cellars-cum-bunkers during Allied firebombings.The sign was a small but poignant reminder of how hundreds of years of beer brewing in Nuremberg — a city that was 90 percent destroyed during the war — linked past and present.Just over an hour by direct train from Munich, Nuremberg (population 510,000) is Bavaria's often-overlooked second city. Of course, the locals say Bavaria has little to do with the place; a greater allegiance is owed to the smaller administrative district of Middle Franconia, which has its own dialect, history and cuisine.

Jeffrey P. Kahn: How Beer Gave Us Civilization
Jeffrey P. Kahn, a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, is the author of "Angst: Origins of Anxiety and Depression."HUMAN beings are social animals. But just as important, we are socially constrained as well.We can probably thank the latter trait for keeping our fledgling species alive at the dawn of man. Five core social instincts, I have argued, gave structure and strength to our primeval herds. They kept us safely codependent with our fellow clan members, assigned us a rank in the pecking order, made sure we all did our chores, discouraged us from offending others, and removed us from this social coil when we became a drag on shared resources.Thus could our ancient forebears cooperate, prosper, multiply — and pass along their DNA to later generations.

Customers warned of fake PayPal scam
By Randi Pierce
PayPal customers beware.
A new scam is targeting PayPal customers in the form of notifications of refunds that then require customers to login to a fake PayPal page, according to a press release from the La Plata County Sheriff's Office.
In the scam, an e-mail is sent to a PayPal customer notifying them of a refund and prompting them to follow a link to log in to their account to receive the refund.
That link takes users to a page that appears to be PayPal's login page, and all information submitted to the site is sent to scammers, who then use the login information to hack the victim's PayPal account and, potentially, other online accounts.
The refund notification is bogus, however, according to the press release, and the linked website simply mimic's PayPal's login screen.
"PayPal is a target of phishers, because PayPal does conduct much of its business via e-mail.
"PayPal will never send an unsolicited email that asks to verify or update an account by clicking a link or by opening an attachment as in some variants of these phishing scams. And PayPal will never send a message that includes a generic greeting such as 'Dear Customer.' Official PayPal e-mails will always address by name," the report states.
Local authorities had not received any reports of the scam as of Wednesday, but Det. Scott Maxwell of the Pagosa Springs Police Department said many similar scams exist.
