You can write your own review of the Kenwood R1000.
I bought my first R-1000 back in the 1980s, but sold it a few years later. I bought another about ten years ago, and I still have it and probably will be buried with it! I did the MW attenuation mod which is simply cutting out a resistor and jumpering it. Simple and VERY effective. I can now hear MW stations from all over Australia.
The receiver is very rugged and built to last a lifetime. Kenwood got it right with this one. The R-1000 is still streets ahead of even the latest receivers, even though we are looking at nearly 30 year old technology. I see that prices for them are creeping up so buy one soon.
and bid on a R-1000 and won it.
Well, I'm hooked! Granted, it doesn't have the "bells and whistles"
of the 5000 but it's sensitivity is right up there.
Selectivity isn't bad even though there are no extra choices in filters.
great is these are so easy to diagnose and repair if you have a problem.
get a R-1000. You won't regret it!
I had this receiver for about 6 months but unfortunately had to sell it to pay some bills.
I was surprised with the quality of the construction, solid, metal frame. Very good sensitivity. Not that great selectivity. Great sound quality.
However, after a while the frequency starts shifting a little bit what is quite annoying when listening to SSB signals.
The analog frequency readout requires ongoing adjustments as it moves a little once we start moving the dial button.
Other than that, I found it to be a great receiver, maybe it was one of the top of the line in the early 1980's.
I would not recommend it to a serious DX listener, however a great receiver for an entry level.
Great radio, very well made.
I had a Kenwood R-2000 a long time ago, and I wasn't really happy with it, and a friend's R-1000 seemed to be better in every way. I sold the R-2000 soon, moved up to an Nrd-525, and thought about buying an R-1000 several times over the last 25 years or so, but never found one I wanted that wasn't insanely overpriced.
I recently found an R-1000, in remarkable condition, just a few light scratches on the bottom and one on the top, the front panel is perfect. Inside and out, it was spotless, and untouched, always nice to see in something you bought without trying out first. It worked like new. Alignment appears dead on, and I am very happy! Not bad at all for $200. Of course, it's not perfect by any means. I give it a five out of five for it's era and price range, it's not equal to an R-5000, or an Icom R-71A, but it's a great receiver for the money.
Pros: Solidly built. The sturdy handle can be used as a prop to angle the front panel up to the desired height. Good audio, better than many of my other, more expensive receivers. Nice tuning knob, with a finger dimple, as Kenwood should have put on all their radios! Easy SSB tuning, and SSB is done pretty well in general.
Cons: Out of the box, the 12khz (Or more) AM wide filter is insanely wide, and the narrow (6khz)is better, but still too wide, but this is a 2 minute fix. All you need to do is unplug a cable and plug it back into a jack right next to it to change the AM wide filter to the former narrow one and the new narrow one is the 3khz SSB filter. Why it comes the other way is a mystery. I made this change on mine minutes after unpacking it. As was done back then, the lights in the R-1000 are little conventional incandescent bulbs, and of course, just after I put the cover back on after switching the AM filter over, one of mine died. I replaced it with a "warm white" LED that at first was way too bright, but a little dip in the "liquid electrical tape" and some work with an Exacto knife (to remove some of the dip) made it almost a perfect match for the other ones, and so I decided to change them all out. It looks great, only the "dim" is a little too dim in a room that isn't totally dark now. No big deal. Overloads when hooked to my "big" antenna even with the attenuator on. Easily solved with my home built attenuator I had sitting in a drawer the last 10 years.
This one is a keeper. I have bought several 30-40 year old receivers lately, and this one is the best of them all, both in condition and performance.
Its my better friend, super simple operation, not need user manual, incredible sensitivity in all bands, also in MW (obviously connecting a wire antenna in MW jack).
I love the sound due this wide filter in AM , the broadcastings sound amazing.
I love the slow AGC, but if you wish to more fast could modify cutting a simple capacitor.
Excellent and exact Analog dial.
I upgrade the smeter and analog dial bulbs for a Ultrabright leds with a simple operation.
I just purchased a used R-1000 and I am amazed at its performance, excellent audio, stability for its era, and ease of use. This radio is now commissioned to introduce my Jr. high students to radio communications/Ham radio, and wow does it work great for them! Broadcasts sound golden, Ham SSB sounds like the ops are standing in the room, and CW is warm and crisp...all sounding like a fine Kenwood should. The tuning is touchy as mentioned and requires care to get it right with SSB or CW.
The best part...the front panel has "record out". This feature serves as an excellent line output with a constant sound level independent of volume "AF" control. Connect to a computer sound card "line input", download free software and adjust; and watch PSK31, CW, and SSTV come absolutely alive for beginner and experienced alike!
I purchased an R-1000 several years off of of eBay once I decided to upgrade to a "real" communications receiver. I performed the obligatory switch checkup and backlight replacement, but this radio has otherwise been rock solid.
I can't add much that hasn't said before other than I'll probably take it to my grave. Built like a tank, great selectivity, stable and FANTASTIC audio. The WIDE AM filter is often too wide, but when you get a clean signal from a top notch broadcaster like Radio Netherlands or the Vatican, that huge filter bandwidth sounds incredible. Use a good pair of headphones or connect a quality full range speaker and you're really in for a treat.
If you ever have the chance to buy one, don't hesitate. I'm not sure which has been more faithful, my dog or the R-1000.
Bought mine on ebay for $200. They usually go for less. This one had the 12volt mod. It is a very good general coverage rx. Ive been a ham for 35 years and was worried that I would be disappointed with the ssb reception of the R-1000.
I was not! I also liked the sound of the narrow AM filter which others have not. The sensitivity is excellent and the selectivity is good. The tuning rate is almost too fast for ssb but its very usable. The audio from the internal speaker is very good.
Can't add a whole lot more to the previous reviews. I studied what was available in the $200 to $300 range and finally decided on the R-1000. What a joy to use. I have a Cobra 144' antenna up 60 feet on one end and 35 feet on the other, picks up stations from all over the world. Most of the time I have to dial in 20 to 40 db of RF attenuation, this is one sensitive receiver. And the selectivity is amazing for a radio over 20 years old, with no digital filtering. No memories or programming to fiddle with, just turn it on and start listening. Best electronic purchase I ever made. This is a keeper.
This is my first time owning an R-1000, having recently purchased it on Ebay for less than $200. My 5/5 rating isn't to say the R-1000 outperforms any of the techier new desktops, but rather reflects my astonishment that a 25-year old model has held-up so well after so much previous use. Not only that, it fulfills most of my stringent expectations for HF Dx. I am impressed.
Sensitivity on SW is easily up-to-par. With just a short indoor antenna I receive Volmets from Europe. However, being accustomed to newer model units with installed DSP, it took me a few days to get used to the band noise (which, at times, can bury a weak utility station). Yet the R-1000 has an asset the newer hi-tech models don't have: It's big, heavy and solid -- it does not feel like a plastic toy. Accordingly, its audio is really rich & full. Headphones are not needed. Just notch-up the volume a bit & the entire room is full of tone!
Limitations: Digital readout only to 1 kHz. But its actually easy to fine-tune with the main dial. Also, USB voice Txs are received 1.9 MHz above the listed frequency. For example, I get 3455 kHz NY ATC at about 3456.9. Its as though this particular model was made for receiving USB RTTY & Fax instead of USB voice. Or something. However, AM & LSB are dead-on.
Sure, the R-1000 has some very minor limitations when compared to today's $700 models, but this is one very solid machine that consistently delivers. No cheapo model here. Probably the best $175-$300 radio purchase that one can possibly make on Ebay.

Four Mississippi Mothers Fight for Their Children's Education
Jim Schaffer
By National Weather Service, Jackson, MS [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
May 24, 2017, NBC News
When Mississippi rejoined the Union following the Civil War, the state was obligated by law to operate "a uniform system of free schools" for all children. This condition for statehood was written into the state's constitution. The Southern Poverty Law Center filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, Northern Division, on May 23, 2017, on behalf of four mothers whose children are languishing in kindergarten and first grade in the Jackson Public School District and the Yazoo City Municipal School District. According to the suit, the state began to "dilute" the education clause in 1890, at the start of the Jim Crow era, and the state's malfeasance has only worsened since.
The school district in Jackson, the capital, is the state's second-largest. The student body is 97.51 percent African American. The students attending Yazoo City's public schools are 99.17 percent African American. These two districts received a grade of "D" from the Mississippi State Department of Education. Thirteen of the state's 19 school districts that received an "F" rating are more than 95 percent African American. The other six range from 81 percent to 91 percent African American.
"This case is about quality of education and making sure that quality is uniform no matter what color your skin is or where you live," said Will Bardwell, an attorney for SPLC. "Mississippi gutted education rights over years and years to avoid integration, to the extent that they are now non-existent. We want to change that."
The federal suit names just about everyone from Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant to the members of the Mississippi State Board of Education. Governor Bryant is not impressed.
"This is merely another attempt by the Southern Poverty Law Center to fundraise on the backs of Mississippi taxpayers. While the SPLC clings to its misguided and cynical views, we will continue to shape Mississippi's system of public education into the best and most innovative in America," Bryant said in a statement to NBC News.
Winning the case for integration in court can be elusive. In 1974, the U.S. Supreme Court held that unless there is proof that racial discrimination in a school district is intentional, the U.S. Constitution protects the status quo.
This lawsuit filed by the four mothers in Mississippi may not immediately benefit their children even if they do eventually win. In Connecticut, Milo Sheff was a Hartford fourth-grader when he served as the lead plaintiff in a landmark 1989 lawsuit challenging segregation of Connecticut's public schools. He and his family paid a personal price for their actions: Sheff had to be escorted to school, he and his family received death threats, and reporters harassed them. Eventually, in 1996, the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled for Sheff and the countless children who will benefit from their effort to claim their civil rights and the right to education. Still, two-thirds of Connecticut's black and Hispanic children continue to attend segregated schools.
NPQ writes often about the problem of segregated schools. We sadly expect this to remain the case for some time to come.—James Schaffer
The founders of Covenant House, AmeriCares, TechnoServe and the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp were my mentors who entrusted me with much. What I can offer the readers of NPQ is carried out in gratitude to them and to the many causes I've had the privilege to serve through the years.

Alabama Shakes Kick Off Fall Tour
Alabama Shakes launched their fall North American headline tour last night at Nashville's Public Square Park with a free show.
Alabama Shakes launched their fall North American headline tour last night at Nashville's Public Square Park with a free show. The run will include sold-out dates at New York City's Terminal 5 (10/4), Boston's House of Blues (10/5) and the Riviera Theatre in Chicago (12/1) plus a visit to the sold-out Austin City Limits Festival (10/12). See below for itinerary.
"I Ain't The Same," Alabama Shakes' new video,world premieres today on the VEVO homepage, where it can be seen through Sunday, September 30th. The clip, directed by Jane Pollard (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds), is the second in a series of videos showcasing the band's powerful live performances. It was filmed in London at KONK Studios, which is owned by Ray Davies and The Kinks.
"[The] band's music reached ecstatic, rafter-shaking heights. Singer Brittany Howard has the bearing, power and charisma of a star twice her age," said NPR Music of Alabama Shakes' set at the Newport Folk Festival 2012 while The New York Times' Jon Pareles praised the group's Bonnaroo appearance as "fervent, rip-roaring rock and roll."
Alabama Shakes will perform at the ninth annual Black Ball on November 1st at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom, sharing the stage with Beyoncé, Carole King, Angélique Kidjo, Keep a Child Alive co-founder and event host, Alicia Keys, and emcee Whoopi Goldberg. The Black Ball, which honors Oprah Winfrey and Angélique Kidjo this year, is a special benefit event raising hopes, dreams and millions of dollars to help children and families affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India.
The band was highlighted in a recent article in The New York Times on six artists that are making their "Austin City Limits" debut in the groundbreaking series' upcoming season. While the airdate for the episode featuring Alabama Shakes' set has not yet been announced, fans can see the band perform a song in "ACL Presents: Americana Music Festival 2012," airing on PBS on November 10th as part of the show's 38th season. Alabama Shakes were named Emerging Artist of the Year at the Americana Music Association's Honors and Awards ceremony. The group also picked up the award for Best New Artist of the Year at the Triple A radio conference and is nominated for a Q award for Best New Act.
Boys & Girls (ATO Records),Alabama Shakes' debut album, was tipped as one of the best albums of 2012 by Rolling Stone and NPR Music in their midyear round-ups. It debuted at No. 1 on the Independent Label chart and spent 15 consecutive weeks in the top 50 of the Billboard 200. Boys & Girls has sold more than 300,000 units in North America since April and is certified Gold in the U.K., where it was released by Rough Trade. USA Today named Alabama Shakes "the country's hottest emerging band" while vocalist/guitarist Brittany Howard made Essence Magazine's "Next" list and came in at #1 on Paste's list of the 10 Best New Voices in Music.
"Hold On," the album's first single, topped the Triple A radio chart and was a Top 15 hit at the Modern Rock format. The accompanying video has nearly three million views. The follow-up single, "I Ain't The Same,"is currently in the Top 20 at Triple A radio.

Far too often, discussions about politics and religion (or even popular culture) are being compromised if not thwarted by blind devotion to entrenched positions. We are becoming more segregated than at any point in my lifetime, not just along arbitrary divisions of race. It's two kinds of news, or even in the minds of some people two kinds of bakeries. Tragically, we are watching an "us versus them" siege play out before our eyes and ears. I've no doubt that I have been impacted, too. Potential listeners of Inappropriate Conversations have, for want of a better phrase, weeded themselves out on shaky religious grounds. And, perhaps, my personal policies like never "un-friending" anyone might make those suspicions seem legitimate. If we can't remain in dialogue, though, then how will we have any real conversations -- inappropriate or otherwise?

PARIS, Oct. 28 (AP)—Georges Carpentier, who lost on a fourth‐round knockout to Jack Dempsey in boxine's first Slmillion gate, died last night of a heart attack. He was 81 years old.
Mr. Carpentier died at the home of his daughter Jacqueline.
Mr. Carpentier's death came at a time when Mr. Dempsey, first his adversary and then warm friend, was a patient in a hospital in New York.
As much a creature of press agentry and promotion as many American sports figures, Carpentier achieved his greatest renown in Europe, but he was best: known to, and liked by, thee American public for his bnief encounter with Jack Dempsey on July 2, 1921, at Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City..
At 168½ pounds, he was 19½ pounds lighter than Dempsey. He had a negligible left hand, but he hit hard with his right.. Carpentier's nose was broken in the first round. In thg second round he landed high on Dempsey's cheekbone solidly enough to daze the champion. He also broke a couple of bones in his right hand.
At a 75th‐birthday party for Dempsey in 1970, where Carpentier was his guest, Dempsey said he would have been knocked out if that blow had found his chin.
Dempsey recovered in the third round and beat Carpentier pitilessly.
Publicity of the 1920's made it appear that Mr. Carpentier had worked as a pit boy in the coal mines near Lens, his birthplace, but later accounts dispute this.
There also is some question about his publicized birth date, Jan. 12, 1894. It the date is correct, it would suggest Mr. Carpentier was only 12 or 13 when he began fighting for money in bars and dance halls. Francois Descamps, the oniy manager he ever had, at first passed a hat among the spectators.
Carpentier was so handsome that George Bernard Shaw and other writers and artists described him in the most extravagant terms, "Greek god" being among the more modest. In the American press he was known as "Gorgeous George" and "The Orchid Man." American fans went to the trouble of pronouncing his name correctly, Car‐PAWN‐tee‐air.
He was idolized in France before, during and after World War I. By the beginning of the war Carpentier had worked his way through each of the eight divisions of boxing all over Europe. In the war he served as a flying artillery spotter, and Lieutenant Carpentier won the Croix de Guerre and the Médaille Militaire.
After the war Carpentier won the world light‐heavyweight championship by beating Battling Levinsky on Oct. 20, 1920, in Jersey City.
Amid all kinds of publicity stunts and phony confrontations comparable to 1975 build‐ups, the promoter Tex Rickard arranged a Carpentier‐Dempsey match for July 2, 1921.
The fight could not be held in New York because Gov. Nathan L. Miller prohibited it as a threat to good morals and manners. So Rickard acquired a tract of land in Jersey City known as Boyle's Thirty Acres, which now is the site of a housing project.
With the cooperation of other backers, Rickard built a wooden arena. In those days fights, were conducted in the daytime, and this one started a bit after 3 P.M. It drew more than 90,000 spectators and $1.7‐million.
Dempsey earned $300,000 and Carpentier $215,000.
Considerable American public opinion favored Carpentier because he was a war hero, while Dempsey was considered slacker who had avoided military service. Rickard shrewdly exploited that difference.
Gene Tunney fought in the semi‐final of that day's card, knocking out Soldier Jones in seven rounds. In 1924, Carpentier lost to Tunney by a technical knockout in the 15th round at the Polo Grounds (by now boxing was welcome in New York). Tunney went on to take the title from Dempsey in 1926.
After the Tunney match, Carpentier lost his light‐heavyweight title to Battling Siki. From then on his boxing was limited mostly to exhibitions until he retired from the ring in 1927. In his 105 professional fights Carpentier had scored 51 knockouts and won 30 decisions. He was elected to the Boxing Hall of Fame in 1964.
After leaving the ring Mr. Carpentier made some good money in French music halls and motion pictures, but he lost most of his fortune in the Depression.
From the 1930's until about 10 years ago Mr. Carpentier managed a bar in Paris.
Mr. Carpentier married Georgette Elsasser in 1920. They had a daughter. Jacqueline. The marriage ended divorce. In 1956 Mr. Carpentter married Huguette Massis.

Finland aims to become leading ecosystem for intelligent transport
Ministry of Transport and Communications 26.4.2017 10.30 | Published in English on 26.4.2017 at 11.10
Technological development and digitalisation are the most significant factors transforming the transport and communications operating environment. Data is evolving into a critical production factor, and it will dominate the future's transport and communications architecture. Finland has the opportunity to become a pioneer in the swift adoption and application of new, globally created technology solutions. The rapporteurs' report Liikenne- ja viestintäarkkitehtuuri 2030 ja 2050 (Transport and Communications Architecture in 2030 and 2050) states that success will require the effective utilisation of the combined transport and communications ecosystem.
The chairman of the working group is Esko Aho, former Prime Minister of Finland, and its other members include Lauri Lyly, former President and Chairman of the Central Organization of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK), and Inka Mero, startup investor and Founder and Chairwoman of Pivot5 Oy. The rapporteurs submitted their report to Minister of Transport and Communications Anne Berner on 26 April.
"The current system does not need to be adjusted because it functions poorly, but rather because the present model cannot respond to the coming challenges that will impact transport and communications. In addition to current reforms, the vision we have presented gives the means for determining how and in which direction Finland's transport and communications operating environment should be developed. The experiences gained from the telecommunication sector during the mobile technology revolution are a good example of this," Mr Aho explains.
"Work on this vision highlights the growing significance data will have as a competitive asset in the future. I hope that Finnish companies grab hold of this opportunity to develop new services and business prospects. Work on the vision will also provide ideas and tools for the Parliamentary working group tasked with considering the funding of the transport network," Minister Berner emphasises.
In the working group's vision, traditional transport and digital solutions will meld with the broader ecosystem. Automation and e-services tailored to customers' needs will increase and become more diverse, and traditional security risks will shrink. The reform will see us transition from a standardised and rigid system to more individualised and flexible solutions. At the same time, the report finds that we will experience new challenges with regard to data protection and the reliability of digital systems, which must be solved during the coming preparation process.
The report describes the trends that will influence the transport and communications sector, as well as the components that make up a functioning transport and communications architecture. In addition to data, the working group feels that accessibility, open interfaces, pricing, taxation as well as regulation will be key factors. Finland's strengths, which will allow the now presented vision to be attainable, include a high level of education and, in particular, critical ICT expertise as well as fluid cooperation between the private and public sectors.
The report finds that in order for the development of a cohesive transport and communications infrastructure in line with the vision to be a possibility, sufficient funding must be ensured. Infrastructure is expected to develop primarily on the basis of demand, in which case society's task will be guarantee that the needs of those areas that fall outside, such a sparsely populated areas, are met. The funding system for future infrastructure would comprise more and more public and private funding.
The rapporteurs also presented future scenarios for 2030 and 2050 in which Finland has succeeded in utilising technological solutions in the manner described in the vision. In 2030, the Northeast Passage cable has made Finland a hub for telecommunications between Europe and Asia. Metropolitan Helsinki will be in the same work commute area as Saint Petersburg, Tallinn and Stockholm. Fast telecommunications connections have made it possible to utilise services, live and work also outside of residential centres.
In addition to data, the working group wanted to highlight key factors, which will require attention during the creation of a strategy for achieving the vision. Transport and communications networks must be developed together, in synch. Additionally, transport and communications services must be produced on market terms, utilising data and open interfaces.
In September 2016, the Ministry of Transport and Communications appointed rapporteurs to produce a vision on how a favourable environment can be created for Finland's wellbeing, competitiveness and national economy in 2030 and 2050 via the bold development of our transport and communications system. The final report by the working group Liikenne- ja viestintäarkkitehtuuri 2030 ja 2050 -Selvityshenkilöiden loppuraportti (Transport and Communications Architecture in 2030 and 2050 - Final report by rapporteurs) can be read in Finnish on the ministry's website at www.lvm.fi (Raportit ja selvitykset 7/2017).

Frank, you are giving us some terrific music. I like and agree with your comments but sometimes the music is so damn good you have to love it anyway. I had not listened to the Pachelbel in years. What a treat. As for Sorrow by Tyminski, I believe that the essence of the song is changed from what it is supposed to convey. But the musicianship is so damn good and the music is so damn exciting, I don't care. It's like a great jazz musician taking a wonderful standard and creating another great work out of it. I don't get upset if Ella Fitzgerald or Mark Murphy take a great song and create a beautiful work out of it. Thanks for all the wonderful music you are providing. Music is so important as are all the arts. They make life worth living.
I agree — even about Pachelbel. But you really should listen to the piece the way it was performed 50 years ago. What you will hear is why it wasn't that popular. It shows that performers really are important. And I think you will see that tomorrow with the last version of "Man of Constant Sorrow." I just love it when people can take something and really make it their own. That's true of Tyminski and that's true of the guys tomorrow.


Can you identify this coastal scene? Two hints: It's on an island, and a closer look at the boat at the upper right might help you indetify which island.
To the first five to email us the correct location (the name of the town will do) at WhereOnTheCoast@gmail.com we'll send a copy of hte 2015 Island Journal.

Hi all, I am thinking about an upgrade from my 5800 to either a 7260 or 2460, but do not know which is the most reliable and value for the money. I am from the UK so it would have to work over here, ( i am not sure about that), do they both work with an aerial as well as satellite?. any advice welcomed, thanks. Arrow57.
Making multiple posts is bad forum etiquette. If you don't get an answer in one place it is because nobody here knows the answer. If you do get answers it is confusing as to which post to reply to.
Since the Toppy models are not available in the UK I doubt if you will find anyone who can help. Even Ozzy members are few & far between.
But in answer to your question, it is unlikely that either will work satisfactorily due to differences in the DTT standards.
Try posting your query here http://topfield.forumchitchat.com/?forum=375574 as the people there will know more about the 7260 (but not necessarily its use in the UK).
Because of major differences between the TV channel allocations in Australia and those in the UK, it is very unlikely that any TV or digital box designed for use there would work properly, if at all, in the UK, even if there were no other differences between the systems (which seems unlikely).
The 7260 manual (linked by Bizman above) specifically says on page 11 that it tunes channels 6-12 and 28-69. Those numbers relate to frequencies in the Australian channel list which covers 177-266 MHz (VHF) and 529-816 MHz (UHF) with channel spacings of 7 MHz. The UK allocations are 471-783 MHz (UHF) with channel spacing of 8 MHz (no VHF allocation). A few channels may roughly coincide by chance but not enough to be useful.
I know that DeltaMikeCharly from the Australian forum has created a TAP that patches the transponder table. This made an AUS Toppy (TRF-2400) to find all services in Mauritius. If the tuner is able to tune to the whole frequency range, this should also work for the UK. Of course, there is still a small risk that something else won?t fit.
Hi, I have ordered a TV-7260 and when I receive it I will try DMCs TAP and fingers crossed be doing a jig to celebrate receiving UK TV channels. I will keep you posted.


When building C# applications in Microsoft's Visual Studio 2011 you must make a choice, which .Net framework do you target? As a developer we'd all love to target the latest framework which has all the latest features, but you don't want to lose out on a huge percentage of potential users who balk at the torturous Microsoft .Net installation. If a user doesn't have the needed version of the .Net framework they'll be forced to download an additional 25+ MB file, forced to wait as that framework is installed, then forced to close all their applications and reboot their computer. With past applications we've deployed we've seen as many as 30% of people abandon our software's installation in order to avoid the .Net installation. Picking your framework is, therefore, important. Target the wrong one and you'll lose more users than you need.
It has been difficult to determine just want version to target as Microsoft hardly wants to publish the anemic numbers themselves, and no one else seems much interested in sharing their own. We included a .Net version checker in some of the software we distribute to find the truth ourselves... and here it is. These numbers represent the users coming to DriverGuide.com, so other sites with different audiences would likely see different numbers, but I suspect they'd not be too far off.
Unless you can be sure your users will tolerate the painful .Net framework installations this data clearly shows you only have two real choices, either target 2.0 and seriously inconvenience 25% of people or choose 3.5 and seriously inconvenience 38%. Neither are good options, but they are what Microsoft leaves you with.
One alternative which we've flirted with in the past is to bypass the horrific .Net installation requirement was using Xenocode's Postbuild software to create a distributable that was free of the .Net installation because the exe built with Postbuild included the necessary .Net components inside a virtual machine wrapper. It worked beautifully, but made our tiny 150 KB executable into a self-compressed 25 MB executable. Still, in this day and age of broadband Internet one could hardly argue it wasn't a far better user experience. Xenocode Postbuild has since morphed into a more encompassing idea with a slightly different built utility called Spoon Studio which we are currently testing; we've found similar results so far.
Virtualization was done with Spoon Studio and bundled the .Net 3.5 Client Profile.
We will likely do what we've done before and deploy a tiny installer which bundles only in only the raw .Net dependent executable and then for the 40% of people we see don't have the right .Net version we'll automatically fetch the larger monolithic exe they'll need over the net. It's as near to an ideal situation as we can have when Microsoft insists on making .Net installation so horrible.

Mitt Romney to the Associated Builders and Contractors: 'I will fight for right-to-work laws'
Following are selected union-related comments made by Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney to the anti-union Associated Builders and Contractors National Board of Directors on Feb. 23. (Source: transcribed C-SPAN video).
* "Why did he (Obama) drag his feet on free trade agreements with Columbia, Panama, and South Korea? Because organized unions don't want it. And so, bowing to them, he holds off on trade.
"I don't have to tell you all the things he does for organized labor. Even before his stimulus went into effect. One of the first things he does just two weeks before that stimulus, was to issue an order forcing the government to use only union labor on construction projects."
* He (Obama) goes on. He bailed out the automakers in a way that did not follow the normal process of bankruptcy but instead gave the auto companies to the UAW. Again, the people who had supported his campaign. He of course fought for Card-Check (a simplified, union-friendly method for union organizing); not getting it, he put in place labor stooges at the National Labor Relations Board. And their action has been to try and make every decision in favor of the unions."
* "And so by virtue of moving more and more of the orientation of this president to the people who gave him the money in his campaign, the unions, he basically flies in the face of what it takes for entrepreneurs and innovators to decide to hire people.
"I just don't think he understands how these kinds of decisions are hurting the American people and making it harder for our economy to reboot. His policies are hurting the American people."
"Now what are we going to have to do? We're going to have to change that policy. And make sure that instead of having a president that bows to the interests of special interests, in this case, union interests, that we have a president who bows to the interests of the American people and that we have a level playing field in this country."
* "Now I didn't get as much done regarding these policies in Massachusetts (where Romney was governor from 2003-2007) with regard to these policies as I would like to have. My Legislature was 85 percent Democrat. And so we battled and I fought in every way I possibly could to level the playing field. And we had some successes and I'll tell you a couple of them. First of all, they passed a Card-Check law. Can you believe that? Card-Check was passed in my state. When it reached my desk, I vetoed it. Despite the fact that there were 85 percent Democrats we fought hard and were successful fighting this Card-Check legislation.
"We also had Davis-Bacon-like restrictions (Davis-Bacon refers to the presence of a prevailing wage law) in our government contracting and I was able to remove those. I prevented state employees from receiving government pay while they were doing union work.
"I also stopped the practice of having the state collect money from people's wages to go into political action committees."
* "So if I become president of the United States I will curb the practice we have in this country of giving union bosses an unfair advantage in contracting.
"One of the first things I will do – actually on day one – is I will end the government's favoritism towards unions in contracting on federal projects and end project labor agreements and I will fight to repeal Davis-Bacon. "
"I also will of course will make sure that workers in America have the right to a secret ballot and I will fight for right to work laws."

Believe it or not, casting is still heavily underway for Greg Berlanti's adaptation of Supergirl, and in that spirit a new name has been added to the cast in the form of Calista Flockhart. The former Ally McBeal star is set to play Cat Grant (the employer of Kara, aka Supergirl), with the potential of the role becoming a series regular.
Currently, Supergirl has itself a direct to series order at CBS with a cast that includes Melissa Benoist, Mehcad Brooks, and Laura Benanti. Berlanti will co-write the script with Allison Adler and serve as executive producer.


Given the challenges of providing appropriate services to a diverse and increasingly numerous student population in this country with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), the need for evidence-based practice in our schools has never been so urgent.
This Letter to the Editor was originally published in the October 26, 2011 issue of Education Week.
On behalf of the National Autism Center (NAC), I want to thank you for recently featuring the commentary, "Where Are the Autism Teaching Competencies?" (September 20, 2011).
Given the challenges of providing appropriate services to a diverse and increasingly numerous student population in this country with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), the need for evidence-based practice in our schools has never been so urgent. We must provide our educators with the tools and resources they need to give children the greatest chance for success.
To assist educators who work hard to provide appropriate services, NAC published a comprehensive manual in 2010 entitled, "Evidence-based Practice and Autism in the Schools." It is designed to assist front-line interventionists in selecting and implementing the most effective research-supported treatments for ASD.
As we did with the results of the National Standards Project (that identified which ASD treatments have been shown to be effective), we are making this manual available online for free. Educators from every state and dozens of countries have downloaded it. In a national survey conducted last year, responses demonstrated that the manual is making a significant impact on improving educators' knowledge about ASD and providing effective interventions for students on the spectrum.
Part of our core mission is to disseminate these kinds of resources, along with the results of the National Standards Project, to communities across the country and throughout the world. Lasting change in the education of students with ASD requires evidence-based practice as its foundation.


Did you know that different goods are likely to have different prices depending on the time of year? Seasonal sales and production can have a not insignificant effect on how much you spend.
Back to school sales are one such example. Naturally, you would use a back to school sale to shop for children starting school in the fall. However, adults can reap the benefits of these sales as well. Everybody uses office supplies. An expensive pack of printer paper might even go down from the mid-fifties to $40. Look around the stores you frequent and watch for back to school specials and sales. Even big-ticket goods like computers and printers will be going on sale, with savings that can reach $150.
New models of cars and bicycles often tend to be released at the end of the summer, as well. Thus, vendors will be inclined to sell old models – leading to lowered prices and good deals. Lawnmowers are also considered summer products – as the summer ends, vendors will want to get rid of these, and lower prices.
Seasonal produce is also an excellent way to save money. The USDA has a guide to seasonal produce to peruse, but this only goes by seasons, not monthly.
August seasonal produce includes avocado, bell peppers, carrots, eggplant, garlic, onions, peas, potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, and more.
September yield includes apples, broccoli, cucumber, lettuce, mushrooms, peaches, pumpkins, and spinach, among others.
In October, a few things to look out for are beets, brussels sprouts, corn, grapes, kale, peppers, sweet potatoes, and watermelon. These are by no means the full extent of seasonal food – just a sample of the foods you can save on by buying in season.

Q: Activcate a python virtual environment from a linux bash script I am writing a bash script in linux that creates and activates a Python venv and then installs from a requirements.txt. Like this
python3 -m venv ~/myvenv/env
source ~/myvenv/env/bin/activate
cp requirements.txt ~/myvenv/env/requirements.txt
pip3 install -r ~/myvenv/env/requirements.txt

This doesn't work for me. It seems to create the myvenv directory but then doesnt switch in and run the requirements.txt file.
Is there a different way to activate it with source from within a bash script?

A: When you run script your shell spawns new process, activates it and then dies.
That's why when you get back into your shell you see unactivated one.
you can run your script just using source command. source command will load it into your active shell.
source script.sh

(Ocimum tenuiflorum) This is the tulasi, or tulsi, the sacred basil of India, the most sacred in Hindu religion (Pandey), a protector from all misfortunes and disease (Folkard), sacred to Vishnu (Brouk), and Krishna (Pandey), and a goddess in its own right, as Vishnu's beloved, hence Hindus call the plant tulsi-mata, "mother tulsi". It is grown in Hindu houses as a symbol of what O'Neill called "the divine Universetree". It is perceived as the place where heaven and earth meet (Simoons). Flowers and rice are offered to it, and a pot of it is also put at the foot of the village Pipul-tree. The care and worship of tulsi plants have long been regarded as religious duties. Salvation is assured to the person who waters and cares for the plant daily. The responsibility rests with women, for often their ritual activities as Hindus relate entirely to the tulsi plant. A string of beads or a necklace made from the stems or roots of this plant is an important symbol of initiation into the cult of Vishnu, and it places the wearer under the god's protection. It is a sacrilege to boil its leaves in hot water, because it torments the soul of the plant (Upadhyaya). But tulsi is one of the fuels used in a Hindu funeral pyre. The Puranas say that even persons guilty of many sins are absolved if they are cremated with tulsi twigs (Simoons). According to Gubernatis, one of the Sanskrit names for it was Apetorakshasi, "la plante qui éloigne les monstres". It is repellent of dangerous organisms. It can drive away mosquitoes, and other insects as well as poisonous reptiles, and is an antidote to snake bites and scorpion stings. It is believed to purify the air, and so has been used against respiratory illnesses, from colds to tuberculosis (Simoons).
It "grants children to the childless, wealth to the needy, and opens the gates of heaven to the devout worshipper" (Simoons). Girls may worship the tulsi in order to get a good husband , and a plant may be put on their marriage altar. It may be used, too, to make certain that a pregnant woman does not suffer a miscarriage. For example, the Kol, a central Indian tribe, put tulsi leaves on a pregnant woman's abdomen, to pray that she remain safe during that time of danger when evil forces can cause a miscarriage. But tulsi seed is thought to quell sexual desire.


Purpose of the evaluation was to assess granted APPEAR projects. As referred to in the Terms of Reference (ToR) this evaluation aimed at identifying strengths, weaknesses and challenges during the implementation of the projects and at presenting recommendations for the remaining duration of projects assessed or future similar projects.
The evaluation thus provides insights about projects' adherence to the programme guidelines and basic principles and assesses their goal achievement and overall performance according to the OECD/DAC criteria. Specific evaluation questions have been provided in the ToR, which guide the evaluation and structure the report. While integrating all 43 APPEAR projects implemented till now, the study includes nine case studies of projects located in Ethiopia, Uganda and Nicaragua.

If it helps, in my script I do retrieve the default audio's ID, is there a way to use that to select audio with id=some_id with mediainfo and get the duration of that particular audio file?
thanks

A: The program does what you request, no space or any other character between 2 values. You may want to append some extra characters after each value e.g. a carriage return:
.\MediaInfo.exe --Output='Audio;%Duration%' file.mkv
102240711022407110224071
.\MediaInfo.exe --Output='Audio;%Duration%\r\n' file.mkv
10224071
10224071
10224071

If you want to add the track ID:
.\MediaInfo.exe --Output='Audio;%ID%: %Duration%\r\n' file.mkv
2: 10224071
3: 10224071
4: 10224071

It is currently not possible to select a specific track but you can use a grep-like command after MediaInfo for peeking what you need.

On July 6th, Omega Underground first reported that producer/star Margot Robbie, director Cathy Yan, and Warner Bros. were looking to film their Birds of Prey movie in Los Angeles, California.
A couple of days ago we reaffirmed the California shooting location adding that filming was set to begin on January 15th.
Today, THR is backing up our report and revealing that Birds of Prey has been officially granted California state tax credits.
Birds of Prey, Warner Bros.' upcoming Harley Quinn movie starring Margot Robbie, is among 19 films that that have been selected to received tax credits under California's Film & TV Tax Credit Program 2.0.
Birds of Prey itself is projected to spend nearly $63 million in-state on qualified expenditures. Such projects with total budgets exceeding $75 million were ineligible for the state's first-generation incentive program.
Our previous reporting that Huntress and Black Canary would debut in the film was also recently confirmed by TheWrap.

Alicia Seifert IS The Event Chick!
She started planning events at the tender age of 16 and hasn't stopped in over 20 years since!
Alicia says: "When I was 16, I planned my first event funded by the money was making as a Library Page. It was a Black History Month event and the money was donated to the Sickle Cell Association of Ontario. I have a niece and nephew with Sickle Cell Anemia and I just wanted to do something to give to the cause in hopes that they could benefit from the research that is being done to help those who suffer from that disease.

Amira Ayad, PhD will share her Message of Healing and Peace.
My name is Amira, I was trained as a pharmacist.
Years back, I was following a predetermined path, studying and preparing my master in pharmacy and working my way up the ladder of academia. But, other plans were meant for me. I had to take a leave after my second child was born. I had just finished my dissertation proposal and was ready to submit it. But, the faculty advisor refused. I had to return back to work for me to get my degree, something I couldn't do with two young children at hand.
My only way out was to submit my resignation to be able to finish my master. I felt so frustrated. I cried and cried for days and weeks. I felt oppressed and forced into a decision that changed my whole life plans… my life dreams… But… Wait a minute… Were they really "MY" dreams? This tragic experience forced me to stop and reconsider my path… my life… my passions and my goals. Now that I am not tied to any academic career any longer, what do I really want to do?
As a pharmacist I knew how medication can relieve symptoms in no time, but I also knew how this can fool us into believing we're healed… I experienced first hand how masking pain, depletion, and stresses with quick fixes can push our depression, anxiety and chronic illnesses deeper into our body turning acute transient discomfort into chronic pain and turning body whispers into screams. I witnessed Diseases and syndromes that we rarely heard of before becoming so common… I saw how we became experts at labelling our conditions, yet we failed miserably at healing them… We became caught in a vicious cycle, one disease leading to another… one medication leading to another… and we ended up on a cocktail of medications that drain our energy and our life saving.
I followed my passion for natural life and living and decided to shift gears… I pursued my PhD in natural health, a path that I wouldn't have considered if I was still among the faculty staff.
"…. Soon enough I wrote my thesis on the effect of spirituality on health… A radical right brain shift for a left brained scientist like myself. I then started my career in the natural health sector with a practice that combines the best of both worlds: Science with spirituality and functional nutrition with mind/body healing.

Our purpose at Youth for Human Rights Toronto is to educate youth and make human rights real to everyday people in everyday life. The human rights platform is based on the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights signed in 1948 with 193 countries who are signatories to it. There are 30 basic human rights listed under the Declaration and we continue to educate youth about these so that they can become advocates for these rights and apply them to the world around them, whether business, community, or the playground.
We are taking responsibility for human rights in our city of Toronto.
We are passionate about helping young entrepreneurs understand how human rights plays an important part in what they do. Helping them integrate human rights into their lifestyle and business practices.
Through various community activities and working with like-minded individuals and groups, we contribute to our purposes in teaching youth about human rights and inspire them to become advocates for tolerance and peace.
Toronto is a multicultural community so it is imperative that we have our promotional materials in various languages as the need for translations has escalated.
Education – First School Club: Youth for Human Rights Clubs are starting in various educational institutions. Their mission is to outreach to as many students as possible, to solve human rights problems that matter to them and to be a club that actually makes a difference.
Our youth volunteers are educating the public through events and assisting YHR Toronto in spreading the word.
The youth have a powerful voice and can help tremendously in improving the world in which we live.
Youth are not being taught their basic human rights and this website contains educational materials including free education kits for educators, videos, public service announcements, posters, booklets, virtual classroom online learning and much more to increase human rights education, more specifically the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
My passion is to help youth and empower them to be the best they can be and be the change.
Their creative ideas and determination are an inspiration to other youth.
