NOTE: This has a built-in warm-up so you can add 1 warm-up set after movement instruction and then get right into the 8s. Try and get everyone set up on a bench (no floor press) by using plyo-boxes with yoga mats and/or groups of 3 or 4 people.
NOTE: Toes to bar scaling should challenge people so don't just have hanging knee raises as the default scale if someone can knock those out with no problem. Instead they could be shooting for a toes-to-hip/shoulder/eye level or a Toes-close-to-bar. Have them practicing that lean-back and press down on the bar motion. And for those that a hanging knee raise is challenging and they are stable in that hang, that is appropriate, and others can go horizontal.


In order to optimize your space and get the most out of your home theater, your home theater company needs to work closely with you, your builder, and your architect.
Too many times the home theater company is called in after the house has been framed and they are ready for pre wire. The problem here is that your room may not be optimized for performance.
There is really more to consider than just having a screen, projector, and surround sound in a home theater. Elements such as elevated floor levels, lighting, what type of furniture and spacing of furniture are just a few of the many major design elements that need to be incorporated into any custom home theater.
For example, seating. This is often overlooked. Many times the room is built and then it's left up to the homeowner to buy whatever furniture they like to place into the room. However, the placement of the furniture will greatly impact how the viewer will both see and hear any presentation.
Seating that is placed against a wall will no doubt be close to a speaker. If the back row is against the wall, no doubt those speakers will be in someone's ears as well.
Seating needs to be centered in a room for best audio performance. All seats need to be a minimum of 2 feet away from any wall. Not only does this help keep your ears out of a possible speaker, but it allows the sound time to reflect off any wall and be absorbed into the room and any diffusers, not directing reflection's into your ear.
Since seating is placed in the center of the room, this can bring up the issue of visibility of the screen. The first row should not be so close that it will cause one to have to look up constantly. Subsequent rows need to be able to see over any heads that may be popping up in front of them. No one likes to have to look around someone during a movie or sporting event. This brings up the issue of floor levels.
Floor levels are easy to accommodate. In fact, furniture can actually be built into different levels so that they become a part of each level with steps going around them. You home theater company should be able to assist you in seeing how this can best be accomplished.
Truth is, there are many more issues that need to be addressed when you are designing your home theater. We suggest you find a qualified home theater company with a show room to show you the many design elements that go into making a custom home theater. You can also use the link below to find many more elements that go into planning and designing a custom home theater.

BAD movies have the ability to suck the souls of the living, and director Alexandre Aja's ridiculous horror yarn Mirrors will leave audiences feeling completely drained.
ACCORDING to folklore, mirrors are imbued with the power to trap the souls of the living in their shimmering plates of silver and glass.
Hence, fantastical creatures of the undead such as vampires, which do not possess a soul, cannot cast a reflection.
Bad movies also have the ability to suck the souls of the living, and director Alexandre Aja's ridiculous horror yarn will leave audiences feeling completely drained.
Screenwriters Aja and Gregory Lavasseur, who previously collaborated on Switchblade Romance (Haute Tension) and the 2006 remake of The Hills Have Eyes, take leave of their common sense.
How else do you explain the central character waking up his sister at the start of the film, when all he has to tell her is that she should go back to sleep?
Or why does he risk electrocution by flicking a light-switch in a flooded basement, the walls glistening with damp, while standing in two feet of water?
Unintentional comedy breaks up the tedium, like when the beleaguered hero returns home from his night shift to a scene of carnage, and an old detective friend on the police force (Flemyng) tells him sombrely: "It's not good."
The same could be said, in somewhat stronger terms, of Mirrors.
Former NYPD detective Ben Carson (Sutherland) has taken up temporary residence on his sister's couch, separated from his beautiful wife Amy (Patton) and children Michael (Boyce) and Daisy (Gluck) after he is involved in the fatal shooting of a colleague.
Seeking absolution in alcohol, Ben begins the slow and painful road to recovery, which includes a menial job as a night security guard at the deserted Mayflower department store, which famously burnt down five years ago.
Day-shift security guard Lorenzo (Shrapnel) teaches Ben the ropes, then leaves him to his own devices.
During his patrols of the building, Ben experiences horrific visions in the mirrors, which follow him home, leading his sister Angela (Smart) to the obvious conclusion: her big brother is going mad.
"I feel like I'm not the one looking into the mirrors, but they're looking back at me," he raves.
As the hallucinations intensify, Ben learns that the mirrors need him to carry out their despicable plan - or his loved ones will face the chilling consequences.
Mirrors teeters permanently on the brink of farce as the characters compound one stupid decision with another.
Sutherland can't escape his gruff, gun-toting Jack Bauer persona from the hit TV series 24, while Patton's hilariously wooden performance almost causes us to cheer when the evil spirits compel Amy to do herself a mischief in the bathtub.
The preposterous set-up is nothing compared to the histrionics of the all-action finale, when demonic possession and a reflection-shy nun (Peil) are flung into the already turgid mix.

Seven Newport City Council hopefuls share views on new hotels, short-term rentals
Sean Flynn Daily News staff writer
Oct 19, 2018 at 7:17 PM Oct 19, 2018 at 9:52 PM
NEWPORT — The seven candidates for the four at-large seats on the City Council faced off Thursday night in a candidates' forum in the council chamber of City Hall before an audience of more than 60 people.
Of the seven candidates, only Richard "Wick" Rudd, a member of the city Zoning Board of Review for the past year and former member of the Planning Board for five years, is making his first run for elected office.
Hugo J. DeAscentis, a former member of the School Committee for 15 years, is making his first run for the council, while Justin McLaughlin is seeking to return to the council. He served on the council for 10 years, from 2006 to 2016, when he lost his bid for a sixth term.
Current Ward 1 Councilwoman Susan Taylor, first elected in 2016, is running for an at-large in this election. Current at-large council members Jamie Bova, Marco Camacho and Jeanne-Marie Napolitano are running for re-election to the council. The fourth current at-large council member, Mayor Harry Winthrop, is not running for re-election.
The forum was the second of three organized by the Alliance for a Livable Newport, a neighborhood advocacy group. Questions were posed by Kristine Hendrickson, associate vice president for Salve Regina University relations and Salve's chief communications officer.
There were no striking differences between the candidates on policy issues, and they all seemed to agree that short-term rentals through hosting platforms such as Airbnb represent a growing challenge for the city.
Even when questions focused on matters such as the three new hotels approved for upcoming construction in the city, the increasing cost of home purchases or apartment rentals, or the changing demographics of the city, the discussion seemed to come back to the disruptive effects of the online hosting platforms.
Napolitano said properties that are being used for profitable short-term rentals should perhaps be taxed at the commercial tax rate of $14.98 per $1,000 valuation instead of the lower residential tax rate of $9.99 per $1,000 valuation.
She and other candidates argued the use of properties for short-term rentals is forcing up the values of all properties and leading to higher rents for people who live in the city year-round.
"Our property values and rents are way too high for young people and young families," Napolitano said.
Camacho said there are currently about 500 homes and apartments in Newport listed on the Airbnb website.
"They make tens of thousands of dollars for the owners and are not vetted like hotels and inns," he said. He agreed these properties should be taxed at the commercial rate.
Both Camacho and Napolitano pointed out that Airbnb provides the city with checks to cover room and sales taxes, but offers no breakdown on which properties had paid and how much.
"We don't have a spreadsheet," Camacho said.
Rudd pointed out that the Planning Board now has a task force subcommittee looking into short-term rentals and how to regulate them.
"It got way ahead of the city," he said. "Owners of short-term rentals are getting $300 to $400 a night. It needs to be regulated."
McLaughlin called for ordinances regulating short-term rentals to be reviewed, changed where needed, and enforced.
"We need to change ordinances to protect the neighborhoods we have," Bova said. "We want people who live here year-round to be in vibrant neighborhoods, not surrounded by non-owner occupied homes."
Rudd welcomed the upcoming construction of new hotels on Hammetts Wharf where the yachting center was formerly located, at Long Wharf and America's Cup Avenue, and on Broadway at the Fifth Element.
"We need about 1,000 new hotel rooms in the city or Airbnbs will explode," he said.
Bova and Taylor expressed concerns though that new hotels cut city residents off from the waterfront, both physically and visually. They called for a review of city ordinances to make sure they are in compliance with the city's land-use plan.
Taylor pointed out the planned Long Wharf hotel will be raised, with parking on the ground level.
"That affects the streetscape," she said.
Rudd pointed out that the population of the city is expected to decline by 25 percent by the year 2036.
One of the questions noted was that by the end of the upcoming decade, in 2030, 50 percent of Newport's population is expected to be over the age of 60.
"We need young families to move into the city," DeAscentis said.
During the baby-boom years after World War II, the city was building and opening new schools, he said. In more recent years, as the population has decreased and aged, the city has been closing and consolidating schools, he said.
DeAscentis said it was possible to turn around that cycle.
He and other candidates said the schools have to be high-quality and high-performing in order to attract new families.
Bova noted, though, that the city needs "aging in place" policies to allow older residents to stay in their homes and get around when they can no longer drive.
The candidates were asked what they would do to address traffic problems, especially in the summer season, a question that often comes up during election season.
Rudd, with a bow to Mark Twain, said: "Everybody in Newport likes to talk about the traffic, but no one does anything about it."
He said he would like to return to the possibility of constructing a parking garage where the Mary Street parking lot is now, and long-term possibly moving the Gateway visitors center to a new satellite parking lot that could be created on land freed up by a redesign of the Pell Bridge ramps.
Taylor said she would favor a parking facility on that freed-up land in the north end of the city that would be larger than is now being talked about. She said the parking facility should hold more than 600 vehicles and later perhaps up to 1,000.
She said people would be able to go into the city on a rail shuttle or shuttle trolleys.
None of the other candidates disagreed with that vision, and some had similar ideas.
The ongoing disagreements that the City Council and School Committee have when it comes to setting a budget for the School Department also was discussed.
Bova said the full City Council and full School Committee come together only once a year to discuss the school budget.
"We should meet more often," she said. "Our goals intersect. When the schools benefit, the city benefits."
Napolitano focused on the current school budget deficit, for which the council will take up a financing plan next week.
"We need more checks and balances," she said. "I have been very supportive of the schools, but if we continue to have overspending of the school budget, it could affect the bond rating of the city."
"There is a lack of transparency in school accounting," McLaughlin said. "We need to have the city keep track of school finances."
The third and final ALN forum, for the two candidates running for the Ward 1 seat and the two candidates running for the Ward 2 seat on the City Council, takes place Tuesday beginning at 6 p.m. in the council chamber of City Hall. The Ward 3 seat is uncontested.

Jason Holcomb Custom Harvester oral histories CLOSED
This collection consists of 58.7 hours of audio files and the accompanying transcripts of oral history interviews with custom harvesters. Those interviewed were all from the United States except for one participant from Saskatchewan, Canada. American participants were from Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, or North Dakota. The time period discussed in the interviews ranges from pre-World War II to 2010, with first-person accounts of harvest from the 1950s to 2010. All persons interviewed were retired or working custom harvesters, yet the project has a distinct group of interviews, 21.5 hours in length, exclusively with Mennonite custom harvesters. The interviews with Mennonite custom harvesters began when Mr. Schmidt recommended interviewing Waldo and Doris Froese of Inman, KS, one of the communities in the Mennonite settlement area of south-central Kansas. Other communities include Buhler and Moundridge. Dr. Holcomb then recruited others in this area for a separate project, which included interview questions pertaining specifically to Mennonite custom harvesters. Dr. Holcomb received grant funding from the Kansas Humanities Council for the Mennonite project, with sponsorship from the Mennonite Heritage & Agricultural Museum in Goessel, KS, which he used to pay for travel and transcription expenses. There is a subject index of the transcripts of the interviews with Mennonites.
Dr. Holcomb obtained 244 complimentary photos and news articles from participants to augment the interviews. Photos were either from the personal collections of those interviewed or were taken by the research team. There are two photo keys that provide captions for the photos. All interviews were conducted between 2008 and 2010. Interview questions were in the broad categories of family history and background, labor, origins of custom harvesting as a vocation, the work of custom harvesting, identity and lifestyle, equipment, places along the harvest route, changes in the communities where they harvest, crops harvested, weather, hardships, meals, lodging, relationships, and sense of place. Dr. Holcomb asked Mennonite participants additional questions, including details about their faith, the relationship between faith and their work, pacifism, and the alternative service conscientious objectors performed.
Holcomb, Jason

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has $116 billion in cash but is having trouble finding opportunities in a pricier market.
Buffett told CNBC in an interview Monday that at some point he could consider returning cash to shareholders in the form of buybacks.
However, he said the company is unlikely ever to consider implementing a dividend, which he called an "implied promise that you keep paying them forever."
If Warren Buffett's company can't find other ways to deploy the $116 billion in cash it has lying around, it will consider returning some to shareholders. Just don't expect it to be in the form of a dividend.
In a letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders released over the weekend, Buffett revealed that the conglomerate has been having a difficult time finding bargains as market prices continue to increase.
He told CNBC in an interview Monday that using the cash for share repurchases is not out of the question.
"I'm fairly confident that we'll find ways to deploy money," he said on "Squawk Box."
Berkshire shares rose 3 percent in morning trade following the Buffett interview.
"The best chance to deploy is when things are going down, obviously," Buffett added. "But if we don't we'd probably be more likely — it would depend on the price of the stock entirely — but the inclination might be more toward repurchases than dividends because dividends have the implied promise that you keep paying them forever."
Berkshire Hathaway's buyback benchmark is when shares hit 120 percent of book value. Both the Class A and B shares are trading near 170 percent of book currently, so shares would have to fall quite a bit before a fresh round of repurchases would be initiated.
Some shareholders and analysts over the years have called for Berkshire to raise the threshold, but Buffett did not indicate if he is considering a change.
"We know that we're doing the continuing shareholders a favor if we buy it at that price," he said. "Obviously, I'd leave some margin of safety when I'd do the 120 percent."
As for a dividend, Buffett recalled that a few years back the question was put to investors whether they wanted one, and the measure lost by a margin of 47 to 1.
He thinks investors are better off with repurchases, because they get a larger share of the company when shares are reduced. Buffett called Berkshire stock a "savings account."
"You can sell a little piece of Berkshire every year and still end up owning more of it than you had before," he said.

Ford GT500 Discussions
General GT500 Discussions
Convertible Or Hardtop - From Article
nynd500
The car is powered by an iron-block, aluminum-head, 330-cubic-inch engine. The transmission, as it should be, is a six-speed manual (and that helps thin the wannabe hot-rodder herd.)
The transmission can be played up and down the power scale like an alto sax. Shift from first to third to fifth and you can save gas, but lose little in performance, thanks to 480 lb.-ft. of torque reaching deep for tug. There are pickup trucks with snowplows that don't have the push-pull advantage of that much torque.
So why rave about this coupe when I was dismissive of the convertible GT500?
As a politician might say, It's the roof, stupid!
I have nothing against convertibles and think they make lovely cruisers when the air is warm and the sun high.
But force a car without the reinforcement of its steel roof to handle 500 horsepower and almost 2 tons of weight and you may be asking too much.
No roof means extra vibration in virtually any convertible. In a powerhouse such as this, it means a stampede of thumping shake. Leave the roof on, however, and here's what you get: a fantastic, high-performance four-seater that lets you use all that power, and play its notes through the six-speed transmission.
Brakes are 14 inches in diameter up front and 11.8 in the rear, plenty of good stopping power for such a strong car. The suspension also has been stiffened, which can make for bouncing rides at slow speeds on lumpy roads, but which holds the car flat as a brick in hard cornering and at launch.
Its interior is a classic mix of two-toned leather seating, a three-spoke steering wheel, aluminum-circled vents and gauges, and a short, nifty shifter.
The tachometer sits central, where the speedometer is placed in most cars, because watching rpms for shift points is more important to a power enthusiast than the speedometer.
From the outside, it radiates power, with a massive lower fascia intake with fog lamps set like dark eyes on each side, headlights beneath a bulging hood, and a black mesh grille with, appropriately, a cobra emblem. Twin white stripes, running from front to rear over the car's spine, date to the 1960s.
This is a world-class, high-performance car that, were it not for dealer price gouging, could be had for less than $50,000.
Ford reached back decades to raise the GT500, but dipped into the modern gene pool to produce what is virtually a race car you can buy right off the showroom floor. Thankfully, most of them will be sold with fixed roofs.

Q: Laptop is overheating and lagging but doesn't shut down I am using a Sony VAIO vgn-tz2500 laptop, and it's overheating when I watch Flash movies (Youtube etc.) and it starts to lag. I had a computer before that had problems with overheating but it shut itself down because of overheating, while this laptop doesn't! I dont know what is the problem here - is it about the cooling system or bad drivers, a virus? How do I fix this?

A: Your notebook is equipped with Intel Core2 CPU that has a builtin thermal control. When the temperature of the CPU grows too high it just decreases the core frequency, thus reducing the power dissipated in a unit of time. Under normal circumstances of course it should not be overheating by running at full computational load, so you need to check the cooling system (clean the fan, e.t.c.)

Cougars make a splash with their first league game of the season
Ian McWeeney
On Thursday, January 18 Ventura High School's girls water polo had a league match against Buena High School. This was their second match up of the year against BHS, but was their first league match against the bulldogs.
The cougars won with a final score of 12-3, with sophomore Megan Findlay leading the team with six goals.

The lady cougars improved, securing an 8-6 record so far this year and a 1-0 record in league, as their other league matches vs. Santa Barbara schools have been postponed due to the mudslides.
The bulldogs record dropped to 1-6 and their league record became 0-2.
Junior Paige White thinks the team played, "good but [we] have done better and definitely could have done better."
The factor of competition in the Buena rivalry games hasn't been much in the past few years for girls water polo, with VHS normally beating BHS by a large margin. However, White thinks it's still "intense and like all other sports we all really want to win."
As for the season, White said that "[We] have placed better in tournaments than the previous years, but could be doing better as a team." She also wants the team "to be considered for CIF and to win the majority of our league games."

Novak Djokovic 'isolated' and banned from using phone as Serb stuck in Australia airport
01/05/2022 Comments Off on Novak Djokovic 'isolated' and banned from using phone as Serb stuck in Australia airport
'No special rules for Novak Djokovic', says Australian Prime Minister
Novak Djokovic is isolated in a room and not allowed to use his mobile phone as he waits to learn whether or not he will be allowed into Australia, according to reports. The world No 1 flew into the country on Wednesday ahead of the Australian Open beginning on January 17 but authorities noticed there was a mistake on his visa application and have yet to grant him permission to enter the country with the state government confirming they are not supporting his application.
It is currently up in the air whether or not the 20-time Grand Slam champion will be allowed to play in the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of 2022, later this month.
He is the defending champion after winning the event for a record-extending ninth time in 2021.
Serbian outlet Sportklub reported that at 4am local time, Djokovic is currently being kept alone in a room in which he is not allowed to use his phone. He has not yet been allowed through passport control.
The 34-year-old was questioned by officials at an airport in Melbourne after a member of his support team requested a visa that does not permit medical exemptions for being unvaccinated.
The error was only noticed while Djokovic was already in the air and en route to the country.
DON'T MISS: Novak Djokovic accused of 'laughing in the face of Victorians' by ace
Victoria's acting sports minister Jaala Pulford said on Twitter: "The Federal Government has asked if we will support Novak Djokovic's visa application to enter Australia.
"We will not be providing Novak Djokovic with individual visa application support to participate in the 2022 Australian Open Grand Slam.
"We've always been clear on two points: visa approvals are a matter for the Federal Government, and medical exemptions are a matter for doctors."
Travellers, including elite sportspeople, entering the state of Victoria must be fully vaccinated and the decision to grant Djokovic a medical exemption to play in the tournament has been heavily criticised.
The Serbian confirmed on Tuesday morning that he had been given permission to play Down Under despite the country's vaccination requirements, with over 90 per cent of the over-16 population having been double jabbed.
MUST READ: Nadal's uncle piles pressure on Djokovic after Aussie Open exemption
He has never confirmed whether or not he is vaccinated against Covid but has previously been critical of the demands for players to be double-jabbed.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has threatened to send Djokovic "on the next plane home" if he is unable to prove he has a legitimate reason for a medical exemption to play the Slam.
He said: "Any individual seeking to enter Australia must comply with our border requirements.
"He has to because if he's not vaccinated, he must provide acceptable proof that he cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons and to be able to access the same travel arrangements, as fully vaccinated travellers.
"So we await his presentation and what evidence he provides to support that. If that evidence is insufficient, then he won't be treated any different to anyone else and he'll be on the next plane home."
"There should be no special rules for Novak Djokovic at all, none whatsoever."
Australia only opened its borders for the first time since the start of the pandemic in November, which was the first time they opened in 20 months.
Tournament director and CEO of Tennis Australia Craig Tiley had suggested recently it would help if Djokovic came out and addressed the situation himself.
He explained: "We completely understand and empathise that some would have been upset by the fact that Novak Djokovic has come in because of his statements around vaccination in the past couple of years.
"We would love…Novak to talk about it and help us with it, but ultimately it's going to be up to him. We aren't in a position, even legally, to disclose other people's medical information."
There are 26 unvaccinated players who applied for exemption but Tiley revealed that only a "handful" had been given permission to play.

Since the dawn of time Mankind has had a need. A need for entertainment. A need for social interaction. A need for artistic expression. And when music hits the ears these needs are transformed into a compulsion for rhythmic movement. Mankind has the need to dance! In Hawaii, this need evolved into one of the most recognizable dance forms in the world: Hula.
Ancient Art of Hula
By Ron Ardis [CC BY-SA 2.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons
As unique and ancient the art of Hula is, it is no wonder that it's origins are legendary. Multiply so in fact, as there are several Hawaiian legends depicting its origin. One story tells of the goddess Laka giving birth to the dance at a sacred place on the island of Molokai. Another tells that the goddess Hi'iaka created the dance to appease her sister, volcano goddess Pele. Yet another says that Pele herself gave birth to the dance to signify her victory after finally escaping from her sister Namakaokaha'i, goddess of the oceans. Hula Master Leato S. Savini believes that the first Hula can be found in the Hawaiian world creation myth called the Kumulipo. In the story, the various gods who create the world perform Oli (chants) along with arm and leg movements. As chant and dance are the two primary components of Hula, the gods' performance would constitute the first Hula dance.
Two Groups of Hula
Hula can be broadly separated into two groups Hula Kahiko and 'Auana. Kahiko is the traditional form created by the ancient Hawaiians. These were performed for an enormity of purposes, from sacred religious ceremonies and celebrations to praise the ancient chiefs, to the frivolous affairs of family feasts or even purely amusement. The costume for these traditional dancers had a base of everyday clothes. Men wore malo (loincloth) made of kapa, a cloth made from tree bark. Women wore pāʻū skirts, also made from kapa, and were traditionally topless. Both genders would accent their outfits with headpieces, necklaces, bracelets, and anklets, and also flower lei versions of these accessories. The music of these performances was provided by the Oli chant which tells a story, along with a plethora of percussive instruments such as gourd drums, sharkskin drums, coconut drums, stone castanets, gourd rattles, split bamboo sticks, and rhythm sticks. Hula honoring a chief or for religious ceremony had to be performed with much care as even a minor mistake would be considered disrespectful, and could lead to dire consequences.
Modern Hula
Modern Hula, known as Hula 'Auana, is the art form that arose in the 1800s from the integration of Western culture and traditional Hawaiian culture. This new form of was heavily influenced by Christian morality as missionaries spread the religion through the islands. Costumes changed to be less revealing, with pants for men and dresses for women. It was around this time that the stereotypical grass skirt arose. The other large Western influence was musical. Rather than an Oli chant, Hula 'Auana is accompanied by a mele (song). These mele usually include lead vocals accented by stringed instruments such as ukulele, guitar, and bass, and are structured similarly to other popular music.
Hula Today

Today Hula is primarily performed as a form of entertainment in Hawaii. The primary venues are the numerous Luau's among the islands. The Luau is a Hawaiian party with feast and entertainment, which is of course centered around the Hula. Visitors come from around the world to experience a taste of Hawaiian culture. At a Luau they enjoy the same entertainment as the Hawaiian chiefs of old. Attending a luau is a must do activity when vacationing in Hawaii. Click luau and experience Hula for yourself.

Investigating the impact of Universal Credit for families balancing work, money and care
DSPI's Fran Bennett is involved in a major new ESRC-funded research project which has recently launched at the University of Bath. Couples balancing work, money and care: exploring the shifting landscape under Universal Credit is a three-year longitudinal, qualitative research study based on a sample of 75 low-income couples with dependent children. It will examine the ways in which couples with children make decisions about work and care and manage their household finances in the context of the new policy landscape of Universal Credit.
At the project launch, Fran commented: "Introducing Universal Credit - with its dual aim of alleviating poverty and making work pay - is a complex policy challenge for the Government. We want our findings to provide new insights that can help better inform policy makers working in this area on the practicalities and realities of making this new system work for all."

This lovely scene of a woman relaxing and reading in her garden is a very special canvas with many colors and much richness in use of light. This is a kit for a patient and more experienced sittcher due to the many color changes. Best worked on 18 mesh, but can also be ordered on 14 if you prefer a bigger count. Kit includes a 11" x 14" canvas and all the Silk threads needed to make this project come to life. Also available as a kit with Perle Cotton.


i've had mine for a long time, but have never used it seriously... i've become interested in a project and am looking over the manual (after all these years i was surprised to actually find it) and i think i sort of have a handle on the BOUNCE command.
this is rather tedious... but possible.
maybe you can show me a more efficient method? i'd appreciate it.
Whenever you press play, you have a mixer of six channels to control what you hear. Four channels are directly accessible using the faders. The remaining two are drums and bass, which you can reach through the menus. Let's ignore those last two for now.
The only limitation is that you can't listen to more than four v-takes at a time, one per fader. The same is true when you want to bounce - you can use four v-tracks as source, while recording to two other v-takes.
You now have eight source tracks bounced to 10-1 and 10-2.
Of course, this is tedious and time consuming and difficult and not really using the possibilities of digital technology. Most people would record all tracks on the PS-04, then move them to a PC/Mac and mix it down there, all in one go. For PC, Audacity is a free and popular tool for this. (There are much better tools if you are willing to pay a little, such as Reaper.) Don't know what the alternative on Mac would be, perhaps GarageBand can do it.
thank you for taking time to reply... what you've described is about what I've figured out... i found a TASCAM USB unit at a local swapfest and have downloaded reaper and audacity. i still like my little ps04 though, i think its a great little portable recorder. i carry it in my case to lessons, and at times just plug in and practice.


The MZ8 and MZ12 offer excellent sound quality across multiple zones for custom installations where true musical reproduction is the key to meeting the needs of the discerning customer. Using Arcam's audiophile amplifier technology the MZ8 and MZ12 deliver a full 65wpc, all channels driven into an 8 ohm loudspeaker load.

Features enable deployment in heavy-current environments while allowing for direct control of devices with live current. Multiple I/O, expansion, and storage options are available.
Kontron's Fanless Data Concentrator for SCADA and Control Room Systems Impresses with Its High Electromagnetic Immunity
Industrial rackmount server offers multiple galvanically isolated interfaces for the energy sector, building automation and passenger information systems
Eching/Nuremberg, Germany – Kontron presents the new Kontron Passau II, a fanless, intelligent data concentrator for SCADA and control room systems. The 2U rackmount server, which can be extended on a modular basis, is designed to meet the highest requirements in electromagnetic immunity. It furthermore excels with its scalable number of protected GbE LAN, CAN and galvanically isolated serial interfaces for surge protection. These features enable its deployment in heavy current environments while also allowing for the direct control of devices with live current. The server is also equipped to protect all surrounding IT equipment against potential voltage surges on its test and control interfaces. Typical applications areas are, for example, in substations and SCADA systems in the fields of power generation and distribution as well as in the process industry and in utility management. Further application scenarios are to be found in technical facility management or in passgenger information systems at train stations as well as on trains.
With its fanless chassis, the robust and long-term available Kontron Passau II is not only protected against dust and moisture infiltration, it is particulary low on maintenance. By using PCI (short) and PCI104 extension components, it can furthermore be very flexibly configured to meet individual application needs. Kontron's new fanless intelligent data concentrator Passau II delivers reliable 24/7 performance in a working temperature range of 0 to 50 °C over an operating period of 10 years which deems it particularly suitable for applications with long-term service life.
The feature set in detail
The Kontron Passau II (350 mm x 430 mm x 89 mm = 2U) comes fitted with either an Intel® Celeron® processor 827E or an Intel® Core™ i3 processor 2310E and offers a perfect balance between computing performance and fanless energy efficiency. The up to 20 galvanically isolated serial interfaces (RS232/422/485) are protected against surges of up to 2500 volts. The data concentrator can be equipped with up to 10x 1GbE LAN interfaces, 2x USB 2.0 and ports for two independent displays (DVI + VGA or DVI + DVI) and thus offers a rich and scalable selection of interfaces for communication nodes in the process industry. Via a PCI slot (short) or via a PCI104 socket with support for up to three PCI devices, flexible extensions can also be carried out. For this purpose, the entire ecosystem of PCI104 extension components is available which, for example, makes it possible to extend the systems with isolated CAN controllers. For data storage, two 2.5'' SATA 3.0 HDDs or SSDs, a CompactFlash disk as well as disk-on-modules can be integrated. Front panel indicator LEDs provide information about the status of all the communication interfaces. In addition, separate reset and boot switches are provided as well as two USB 2.0 ports. Rounding off the feature set, a wide-range voltage power supply unit simplifies the power connection.
The Kontron fanless intelligent data concentrator Passau II is now available in EMEA and will be available in America and APAC in Q2 2013. It offers operating system support for Linux, Windows XP Embedded, QNX and VxWorks.

You might think that being amongst the world's most researched and least understood cultures, there would be few stone flints left unturned in the pursuit of Australian Aboriginal knowledge. Hidden gems: the role of libraries and archives in the revitalisation of cultures, held at the State Library of NSW shared the knowledge of both black and white individuals and collaborators on uncovering new information.
And despite the rest of the world being relative latecomers to understanding our culture—a mere 225 years and largely ignorant for much of that—a multi-million dollar growth industry has developed around research, education and institutional community engagement with Aboriginal people.
It is not surprising to many Aboriginal people that a considerable portion of the yet-to-be-revealed remains within institutions. It is an argument for unqualified access made over many years, that marrying what cultural heritage remains in a community with the fragments in institutions may help complete an imperfect knowledge picture.
Hidden Gems began with a bewdy: the Rio Tinto Mitchell Library project led by Dr Michael Walsh—from the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies—scoured early colonial journals, diaries and other source material for references to Aboriginal language and turned up a rich bounty within the State Library, previously overlooked.
It is an argument for unqualified access made over many years, that marrying what cultural heritage remains in a community with the fragments in institutions may help complete an imperfect knowledge picture.
Daryl Baldwin of the Myaamia people of Oklahoma spoke of the value of instilling original language in the family unit, in this case his own. The remarkable Baldwin family inspired their community, his children now work in language and cultural revitalization. From 2001 to 2012, Daryl was director of the Myaamia Project, a partnership with Miami University Ohio leading to the project's international recognition.
Boosted by Native American speakers such as Daryl and a healthy Maori contingent, it was great to see that the majority of symposium delegates were indigenous. Those from non-indigenous academia spoke with genuine respect and passion about projects with measurable local and global impacts for lost languages and cultures.
All speakers recognised that language and culture belonged to the appropriate indigenous group by inheritance, acknowledging that western cultures had all but wiped out the traditional passing of knowledge from one generation to another as a way of life.
Cultural practitioner and advisor Ray Kelly was there along with Michael West and Uncle Chicka Madden from Metro Local Aboriginal Land Council for the Welcome to Country. All appreciated Kim Christen's—Mukurtu collections database developer—demonstrated sensitivity to traditional viewing practices and ethics and practice for digital archives.
The formal proceedings were rounded out by Professor Ghil'ad Zuckermann who, despite having perhaps the most formidable credentials following his name of any of the presenters, spoke with humour and much heart about his work reclaiming the Barngarla Aboriginal language in Port Lincoln, Whyalla and Port Augusta, South Australia.
I was honoured to be asked to be master of ceremonies for the symposium that also celebrated the establishment of the Indigenous Unit of the State Library. Kirsten Thorpe, formerly of the Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Data Archive heads up the unit. They are participating in the Rediscovering indigenous languages project and have several interesting posts on their blog already.
