Looking for a way to pump up your next project? Let the Muscle Sensor v3 from Advancer Technologies do the heavy lifting!
This small, easy-to-use, 1″ × 1″ board measures muscle activation via electric potential; this is referred to as electromyography (EMG). The sensor measures, filters, rectifies, and amplifies the electrical activity of a muscle; as the muscle flexes, the output voltage increases, resulting in a simple analog signal that can easily be read by any microcontroller with an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), such as our A-Star or an Arduino.
Muscle Sensor v3 with included hardware.
The engineers here were pretty excited to play with these when we got our first samples, as many of us hadn't used anything like it before. While thinking of various ways to test the sensor, a few of us remembered this ridiculously awesome video of Terry Crews making music with his muscles. (Gets me every time! #MuscleEnvy.) Without getting ahead of ourselves, we decided to try something much quicker and more straightforward with some of our electronics.
In the demonstration video at the beginning of this post, you can see the muscle sensor in action as it measures the muscle activity of my bicep. The demo uses the muscle sensor with a Maestro servo controller to update the position of a hobby RC servo based on how hard I flex. The setup was very simple; the analog output signal from the muscle sensor is connected directly to channel 0 on the Maestro, and the two boards share a common ground. The muscle sensor is powered by two 1S LiPo batteries and the Maestro and servo (connected to channel 1) are powered from a separate 6 V battery pack.
Here I am modeling with electrodes on my bicep for the Muscle Sensor v3.
# Sets servo 1 to a position based on the analog input of the Muscle Sensor v3.
We can't wait to see all of the amazing things you come up with when you engage your brain (and your muscles) with this sensor!
How much does Muscle Sensor v3 cost?
You can find the price on the product page.
Can this measure the finger's movement?
And by the way, does it have to use electrode to detect the muscle movement? May I use another conductor material?
In the schematic, there are 5 chips, each is one AD8221 and four TL084. And I was confuse that I only see two chip on the top view of Muscle Sensor v3 PCB.
And I google the database about those two chips, AD8221 is 8 pins, TL084 is 14 pins. So I also confuse which chip it is on the top view of Muscle Sensor v3 PCB.
We have not tried it, but I do not see why the muscle sensor would not measure a finger movement if the electrodes were placed correctly. We have also not tried using things other than the included hardware as electrodes, so we are not sure if other materials might possibly work with it.
I recommend contacting the manufacturer, Advancer Technologies, to get more definitive answers to those questions and to learn more about the ICs that they use on the muscle sensor.
Thank you a lot, Jon!
do i have to take and modify the samples you provided in the example scripts to identify the channel im using?
0 servo # set servo 0 based to the value repeat?
and i usually just move the sliders and save frames so this will be a learning experience for me.
is this the correct approach to using the advancer tech muscle sensor to a maestro.? like your flexing video?
I talked to you earlier today when you called, but I wanted to post the answer here for anyone else who might have the same questions.
It looks like the example you posted is the "Using an analog input to control servos" from the Maestro user's guide. The modified version of that example script that we used in this project can be found in the blog post above. Please note that this script expects the output from the muscle sensor to be connected to channel 0 on the Maestro and the servo to be connected to channel 1. If you want the script to work with the sensor connected to channel 5, you will need to modify it to do so. If you try to modify the script and continue to have trouble, you can post your modified script on our forum, and I would be happy to continue troubleshooting there.
Also, please note that we used two 1S LiPo batteries in our setup, so the analog output of the muscle sensor in our demo was from 0V to roughly 3.7V. If you are using 9V batteries, your signal could be upwards of 9V, which is higher than the Maestro inputs support and could result in damage. You might consider reducing the voltage by either adjusting the gain potentiometer on the Muscle Sensor V3, or using a voltage divider circuit.
Hi! Can I connect two muscle sensor? Can u give me an example?
It is not entirely clear what you are asking (e.g. connect Muscle Sensors to what?), but it sounds like you might be trying to do something complicated or otherwise be looking for more in-depth technical support than is appropriate for blog post comments. Can you refine your questions and either email us or post to our forum?
Specifically, if you explain in more detail what it is you want to do with two muscle sensors (e.g. what muscle(s) are you sensing, how are you planning on reading the output of the sensors, etc.), we might be able to give you a better idea of whether or not your proposed system could work and maybe refer you to additional documentation for getting started with your project.

A BACHELOR'S BIOGRAPHY!
The Pre-Release Event of Axess Film Factory's Bachelor with G VPrakash Kumar in the lead role was held recently on a grand and gala manner!
Following the grand success of Ratchasan and Oh My Kadavule, producer G. Dilli Babu of Axess Film Factory is all set to release his next production "Bachelor" starring GV Prakash Kumar and Divyabharathi in lead roles. Written and directed by Sathish Selvakumar, the film is all set for a worldwide release on December 3, 2021. The cast and crewmembers of this film interacted with press and media fraternity, and here are some of the excerpts from the event.
B. Sakthivelan, Sakthi Film Factory said, "I have already seen the film, and I am not able to define it completely, but all that I felt that this is an important film to every audience. This is a movie beyond financial and trade factors, but this movie left a strong impact on me even after waking up next morning after a deep night sleep. I thank producer G. Dilli Babu Sir, for materializing this film. After the success of Oh My Kadavule, he told me about the 'Bachelor' project. He was firm about one decision that it is a tailor-made movie for theatrical experience, and will never compromise with OTT platform at any cost. He would often keep sharing the best things about this project. He is a unique and rare kind of producer species as his involvement in shaping up a movie is phenomenal. Director Sathish is a new entrant in the Tamil movie industry, who is going to elevate the standard of our industry. Only few movies will have best output in all technical department and performances as with Shankar sir movies. I could feel the essence of this factor in this movie. Bachelor gave me an impact of watching a Shankar sir movie output at a low budget. While interacting with GV Prakash sir, I was raving about his songs in movies like Asuran. I doubtfully asked him if he would make a comeback in the acting part, but he assured that Bachelor will establish in full stretch as an actor."
Choreographer Azhar said, "I am really grateful to be a part of a film like Bachelor. Choreographing for this project was completely different from my other projects. Before kick-starting the process, I listened to the song, and couldn't visualize on how I am going to do it. Many have been commenting that the choreography is done in Kerala style, but then I would like to make it clear that it's out and out Tamil culture dance with the lyrics taken from the ancient language. Working in this project was more like going to school and college, as everyday offered me a unique experience. Theni Eeswar sir is a genius, and he has exerted a phenomenal effort. Usually GV Prakash sir wouldn't go for rehearsals as he is a one-take artiste, but then he came for the rehearsals here, and has done a fabulous job. I thank Dilli Babu Sir for trusting me and giving me an opportunity."
Prankster Rahul said, "I haven't done anything huge with this project. It was just a single day shoot, and I got a call after the director saw my performance in the medical prank show. Although my scene would be not more than a 5 minute duration, the director took an additional effort in getting my dubbing portions done greatly. This is a blockbuster movie, and I am sure about it."
Music director Siddhu Kumar said, "This project is so special to me as myself and Sathish bro had earlier discussed so many projects, but they didn't take off. I have done my best for this film, and looking forward to a positive response from the audiences."
Director San Lokesh said, "Bachelor is an important movie in my career after Ratchasan. After completing the process, I told Dilli Babu Sir, the same fact that I stated after Ratchasan. "The first half is good, and the second half is extraordinary." I just now saw the film, and it has come out very well. It's a youthful film, and it has a good message for them as well. I wanted the transition to be smooth, and my journey with director Sathish is 11 years old. I am happy to see the output as it was discussed many times across these years between us. When a film gets connected with the society, it turns to be a meaningful experience. Bachelor is one such exemplification."
Director Sathish Selvakumar said, "When Dilli Babu sir gave me an appointment to narrate me the script, I was doubtful whether he would accept it to get materialized. But sooner, I was surprised to hear him enjoying the script narrating process, and he asked me to wait for 3 months. From then, there was no stopping and the process happened in full swing. We worked on dubbing process for 107 days, but I don't regret over it. I want to reveal it openly as we had to strain a lot over getting the particular slang perfectly. Any other producer would have been infuriated over this, but instead, kept us encouraging, by trusting us. 'TRUST' is something very rare in movie industry, and Dilli Babu Sir unconditionally banked his hopes on us. DOP Eeswar sir has done a fabulous job. His cinematography has given a unique colour to the film. GV Prakash Kumar's dedication and involvement in this project is beyond usual paradigms. Normally, while shooting some additional shots, the actors would be getting some break, but then GV Prakash sir was insisted by me to be a part of all the shots. Any other artiste would become restless without breaks, but then he astonished me completely. Divya as a newcomer underwent 3 months of workshop, and her passion became a major key in letting her become an important asset to the Bachelor movie. Her role is very much equally prominent to the protagonist's role, and she has nailed it perfectly.
Producer G. Dilli Babu, Axess Film Factory said, "The whole cast and crew of this film has exerted inmost heart and soul into this project. (On a humorous note), I can boast that it's only me, who never fought with director Sathish as almost all of them in the crew had a clash among which few had already decided to quit the work. However, they all remained together as a family, and the result has come out very well. Patience, Perseverance and Dedication was the mantra of the entire crew. The film's shooting was 80% completed before the first lockdown, but still, there were some major chunk after that. Every process including the postproduction work was an intense phase. Even music director Siddhu assured me that he would deliver the output in 1 month, but took four months. Bachelor will be an important movie in the entire career of GV Prakash till the date. Theni Eeswar sir and Editor San Lokesh are the backbones in this movie. Divya Bharathi was chosen after looking at her pic in the Instagram. The chemistry and performance between GV Prakash and Divya in this movie would be more like Kamal Haasan-Sridevi factor in Moondram Pirai. So far, out of 6 movies produced by Axess Film Factory, 5 among them are directed by newcomers and the only exception was Ram Kumar (Ratchasan). On the other end, 6 more movies to be produced by our production house are directed by newcomers alone. The main motto of Axess Film Factory is to identify the new talents and encourage them to exhibit their potentials. When signing a director, I always look up for the attitude and uncompromising nature. In this aspect, Sathish is a pure hard worker. Bachelor is a 2 and half years journey, and it has been a greater experience working with him. I always believe in giving freedom to my filmmakers, and Sathish has made use of it efficiently. He is one of the best discoveries in the industry. Like Sakthi told that there were many OTT offers for the film, it is true. I didn't want to make it, thereby disappointing the efforts of the entire technical team. I am confident that Bachelor will be a worth watching movie for the tickets audience invest in."
Actress Divya Bharathi said, "When Sathish narrated me the script, I felt more responsible. I was little scared if I would be able to bring the long run vision of Sathish exactly as it involved his years of hard work. I thank producer Dilli Babu sir for giving me an opportunity to be a part of this project. GV Prakash sir has been completely helpful. I am sure the audience will enjoy and relate this movie."
Actor GV Prakash Kumar said, "Every human in this planet is a mixed bag of positive and negative. Bachelor will throw lights on this concept without judging one as good and bad. Dilli Babu sir is one and only reason for this project to get materialized. We are working together in few more projects. After RB Choudary sir, it's Dilli Babu sir who is giving more opportunities to the debutant filmmakers. Sakthivelan sir has been too supportive in my career as he helped a lot in distributing my first movie Darling. He has always been honest with reviews, and he has given more assurance about success with this movie. Very few filmmakers have the film language like Vetrimaaran, Mani Ratnam, Sudha Kongara, Selvaraghavan, and now Sathish is going to join the league. There are lots of newcomers in the project, and it's because of their presence, the 'Bachelor Life' song has been so much natural. Divya is so lucky to have got a powerful and intense movie as her debut movie. I am happy that she has been able to do it. She has always been nervous and cautious if the shot or scene would come out well. This indeed has helped a lot in coming up with a spellbinding performance. Cinematographer Eeswar sir is the most humble and director friendly technician in the industry. With every film, he keeps escalating the success. I am confident that the hard work of entire crew will make Bachelor a commendable movie. I am sure that audience will love this movie to a greater extent."
Indeed a great, gala event that initiated great expectations on the movie scheduled for release this week!

« Green Acres We Are There!
(1) On a dark and stormy night, the wind howls and makes me wish I hadn't watched that Poltergeist channel.
(2) Snow drifts three feet high at the side of the house that cover the DirecTV dish will cause the TV to randomly shut off.
(3) The snow may not appear anywhere on the driveway, but will instead have drifted to cover the porch.
(4) Country roads do not get plowed in any hurry–hence the snow drift across the road in front of our house. Judging from the tire tracks, it appears that some enterprising neighbor actually went around the drift and across the neighboring field–there's very little snow there!
And this week we've learned about heating oil. You see, in the city where we used to live, one just turned on one's heater and voila, heat! Here in the country, one must call the heating oil guy who comes with his big truck and big hose which he attaches to a pipe on the outside of the house. He proceeds to send in however many gallons of oil we request and then we write him a check. When we first moved in (that day Tom arrived by himself and awaited the hallowed heating oil guy), we got about 150 gallons of the elixir of heat and our house stayed toasty warm until the end of December.
At that point, we arrived back here after Christmas to a very cold house (our poor fishy was rather dormant). Anyway, we got kerosene to allow us to sleep the night and then ordered more heating oil the next day. Same amount, 150 gallons, same price (high). We dropped our temperature and piled on the sweaters, vowing to make this tank last much longer than the two months it had previously lasted.
We awoke last week to a cold house and a dry tank. Which means we went through those 150 gallons in ONE month. That can't be! We kept the temperature low! We piled on sweaters. Life is not fair! Life is COLD!
Well this time we determined to not buy any oil but to find another source of heat. This week we've used our electric space heaters as we studied Craigslist looking for wood stoves. Today we purchased one (well, we went out and purchased it after the plow came through to allow us access to our road). Tom is out buying flues and pipes and whatever else is needed to make it work. (I don't try to understand these things.) We figure that wood will be much cheaper than oil.
Of course, we're new to the country. What do we know?
(5) Hoosiers are CRAZY when the Colts go to the Superbowl!
Brr! I hate being cold! Hope your heating problems are solved soon!
Hey we heat with wood and just use the oil for backup if the wood runs out. Ken says if you heat with wood you get warm three times…once when you cut it, once when you haul it to the house, and once when it burns!
Nice blog, Linda. I wish I could see your new country home!
Oh, by the way, we got 19inches of snow here between 11:30 am Friday and 2:00pm Saturday. How much did you get?
Indoor or outdoor wood stove? Gonna have wood delivered to make it thru this winter?
And are they just as crazy when the lose? Sorry, but geauxxxx Saints!
What a riot! I guess you live more country than we do. We actually have natural gas. But I would love a wood burning stove. Don't you love it?
Hadn't seen this particular blog – boy, do I know about heating with wood and wood stoves! I hope you got one with a thermostatically controlled fan – they're a wonder! Up north, our backup is propane – and yes, the price is high!
I'll bet the stove keeps you toasty, though. One trick – we put a pan of water on top of the stove – instant humidity in the house, along with the snow that comes in with the wood! Don't use metal – get something that is enameled – it will last longer.
Crocus are blooming today in our front yard – the sun is shining – I hope you have lots of beautiful spring flowers!


Fiio E17k is the same MSRP as the Fiio E17.
Fiio E17k now uses the 11pin Micro USB connector and can connect to the Fiio E09s through this connector. The Fiio E09s desktop amplifier has not been released yet.
Update: No mention of bass/treble equalizer on the E17k that was found on E17. I'm awaiting confirmation. E17k does have a bass boost.
1, We will rename our products line up in the future, and the DAC/AMP will be called as Q series. and the ALPEN II (E17K) will be renamed as Q3 ( My wife drives an Audi Q3, :L3000:).
2, There will be a flagship DAC/AMP called Q5 .
3, Our strategy is , once we find the price position is correct, we will keep the same price level but try to improve the design and features in the next generation .
4, About the DAC/AMP + Dock Amp like E17+E09K, to be honest, it is a stupid idea because the feedback is not reasonable. to me, it will be better to spend the time and resource in other projects .
but as you can see, it is good for our user when they try to pair with some big cans at home.
5, You guys can tell me what you need in our new DAC/AMP Q5, so far we have not decided anything about it. but it is not a slim design and not a cheap one , the benchmarking of Q5 is SONY PHA-3.
so we have enough space and budget for all the features and the best performance you needs.
6, for E17K, we are not going to change the design, please understand us cause there will have less and less portable device which supports optical output and the cable is a problem too.

God has this thing about the spoken word. When you get right down to it, words are what God uses to actually create things.
What did God use to create? – Words. Over and over the phrase "God Said" is repeated.
What God wanted, expressed out loud with words, brought all of creation into being.
If we fast forward to the Gospel of John, and read the first part of the first chapter.
What God wanted… expressed out loud, in the person of Jesus, brought all of history into relationship with Him.
You see, God has a thing about words. And if God thinks words are important, then we should too.
I understand, it's hard enough trying to figure what's going on today when you're 'earjacking' your 'hipster' 'boomerang child' making a 'duckface' wearing her new 'kicks' while she's 'chillin' with her 'bestie'. And yet, we expect ourselves to fully understand what a middle eastern, nomad who lived over 3,000 years ago, meant when he wrote part of the Bible! Don't be so hard on yourself! It takes work, and time, and often a friend to walk alongside you.
So let's go on a journey together.
Over the next few weeks we'll feature common "religious" vocabulary words and take a deeper dive into what they mean. We'll look at how they are used in scripture and sometimes even outside of scripture. We'll try to look at things in simple terms and stories, so whether you have been in church your whole life, or are just starting out in your God walk, you'll find something to help you.
Hey, drop us a line if there is a word you want us to explore. We want to hear from you. After all, we're on this journey together!

Tag: High Court
Shahidul Alam is granted bail
Award-winning photographer Shahidul Alam has spent over 100 days in jail, but – according to Reuters and several Bangladeshi newspapers – has finally been granted bail by the High Court this morning. "We're delighted that ultimately the court has granted him bail," said his lawyer Sarah Hossain in the Reuters' report, adding she expected her client to be out soon.
The 63-year-old photographer and activist was arrested at his home in Dhaka on 05 August, and was charged the next day with violating Section 57 of Bangladesh's Information and Communication Technology Act (ICT), after giving an interview to Al Jazeera on the current wave of student protests in Bangladesh against unsafe roads. In the interview, he stated that these actions stemmed from anger about widespread government corruption, and the charges mean he faces up to 14 years in prison.

PreVeil is excited to announce the release of its highly anticipated device management capabilities. Device management enhances users' ability to secure their email and files by also giving them full control over which devices can access their account.
How is all this magic achieved? Read on to find out.
Device management means that you have the ability to control which devices can access your account. Why would you want to able to do these things?
Well, assume you've lost your smartphone or computer with a PreVeil account. That account holds your important work messages and files. You wouldn't want the information located there to fall into the wrong hands. PreVeil's device management feature allows you to remotely lock the lost device. When a device is locked, it is unable to show any data or perform any actions in the PreVeil system. If the locked device is found, it can be unlocked from any other device with the same PreVeil account.
Device management isn't just for users. If you're using PreVeil at work and you're an IT administrator, you'll be able to view and manage users' devices, and you'll also be able to lock (and unlock) user devices if they are reported as lost or stolen (and then found).
You understand why device management is important. So how do you access it?

Milton is the greatest English poet whom it is possible for serious readers to dislike. There are no fans of Marlowe, Jonson or Webster who cannot also find pleasure in Shakespeare; there are no admirers of Piers Plowman or Sir Gawain and the Green Knight who cannot also appreciate The Canterbury Tales. But it is not hard to find enthusiastic readers of Marvell or Spenser or Dryden or Donne who cannot warm to Milton, and make no apology for it. Anti-Milton sentiment became respectable literary opinion with the Modernists. Woolf thought of Milton as the 'first of the masculinists', a judgment since echoed by many. Eliot blamed him for the 'dissociation of sensibility'; Pound deplored 'his asinine bigotry, his beastly hebraism, the coarseness of his mentality'. More widespread these days is the belief, common among those who encounter Milton as required reading, that his poetry is difficult, humourless, unsexy and, heaven forbid, theological. Though the academic Milton industry is thriving, it sometimes has a strain of defensiveness, an impulse to champion its man; and this often results in efforts to make Milton ideologically acceptable to present-day liberal opinion. Joseph Wittreich has been one of the staunchest proponents of those efforts, and his latest book sums up and extends the themes of his previous work.
As is often the case, the book's main strength leads to its main weakness: a tendency to make Milton look modern in ways that he wasn't. Wittreich is fond of glossing Milton by likening him to later authors, and sometimes creates misleading impressions. Here is an example. Wittreich observes, accurately enough, that Samson Agonistes is permeated with the language of divine inspiration. He gives a list of textual instances – 'intimate impulse', 'divine impulsion', 'work from Heav'n imposed', 'command from Heav'n' and so forth – and then adds: 'It is as if Milton is here moving towards the more mocking posture, in another century and in another country, assumed by the American president John Adams: "It will never be pretended that any person employed . . . had interviews with the gods, or was in any degree under the inspiration of Heaven."' Wittreich spends the rest of the paragraph glossing Adams, and then moves on. Notice how his qualifiers – 'as if', 'moving towards' – substitute for any good reason for conjoining the Puritan Milton and the deist Adams, whose views on religion were light-years apart. And notice how the Adams analogy stands in for any good reason for believing that the language of divine inspiration in Samson Agonistes should be understood as mockery. It should not.
Wittreich's Milton is, in effect, a scholarly update of the Milton of the Romantics: a great striving individualist, poet of the devil's party, champion of liberty and scourge of tyrants. Wittreich takes this line with greater rhetorical zeal than most Miltonists, but his position is not an isolated one: neo-Romantic ideas are alive and well in Milton scholarship. These maintain that Milton was not an orthodox Christian poet; he was an idiosyncratic radical Protestant, a sect of one. Politically, he was a courageous republican, defending the Good Old Cause at great personal risk up to the eve of the Restoration. His late poems raise without answering the great questions of Western Christianity, and it is this questioning, with its searching sceptical energy, that gives Milton's poetry its enduring value. Wittreich's version of this account bears the accent of late 20th-century critical theory. The hedging in Paradise Lost between Copernican and Ptolemaic cosmology is taken to illustrate the 'deconstructionist proposition' that truth is 'without end, abyssal'. Milton's authorial 'trademarks' are 'discontinuities, inconsistencies, eccentric theories; discrepancies and contradictions'. His poetry is marked by a 'spirit of contradiction', 'marked, not marred, by contradictions' and 'yields a dialogic discourse of floating interpretations, its objective being not to reify existing commentary but to infuse it with greater intricacies and thus imbue it with more nuanced insight'.
There is some truth in all of this. Milton was certainly an individualist in matters of religion. He believed, as he writes in the preface to his treatise De Doctrina Christiana, that in order to go to heaven every believer has to work out Christian theology for himself, and the theology he worked out in his later years was heterodox on various points. Milton was an antinomian in the strict sense: he believed the Mosaic Law had been abrogated for Christians in its entirety, the moral precepts as well as the ceremonial and civil portions. He believed that the soul dies with the body until Judgment Day; he believed that God created from pre-existing matter rather than ex nihilo. His emphasis on free will, so prominent in Paradise Lost, placed him at odds with most other Puritans on the thorny subject of predestination. Milton's most serious heresy by 17th-century lights was his Arianism, his rejection of the traditional understanding of the Trinity, on account of which a Dutch printer refused to publish the De Doctrina Christiana after his death (it remained unpublished until 1825). In his latter years Milton had sectarian friends, including Quakers; as far as we know he didn't regularly attend a church. It is fair enough to describe him, as Christopher Hill did, as a radical Protestant heretic; but while Milton's heterodoxy has become more widely acknowledged among scholars in recent years, there is still a good deal of confusion as to what it does and does not mean.
'Orthodox' and 'heterodox', as the labels apply to 17th-century England, are relative terms. They do not distinguish between believers and questioners, but between more and less conventional answers to a common set of questions. Milton's individual combination of doctrines may have been idiosyncratic, but if he was a sect of one, there were many sects of one in 17th-century England. His insistence on the supremacy of the individual conscience was a standard Protestant position, and the problems he took on in his late poems were deeply traditional. They boil down to the problem of evil and its associated dilemmas. Why did Adam and Eve fall? Why did God allow it to happen? Why, ever since, has God willed that the world should grow so thoroughly corrupt, allowing the good to suffer and the wicked to flourish? In an uncertain world, how is one to discern God's will? In a corrupt world, how is one to carry it out? Milton struggled intensely with such questions; in doing so he was not at all unusual, especially in Puritan circles. The basic problems of theodicy might occur to anyone, but the impulse to work out the answers to them in detail was most common among educated Puritans like Milton; and this impulse produced a vast body of controversial literature in which godly authors argued recondite points of theology in sermons, treatises, pamphlets, commentaries, dialogues and even poems. In the 1630s Milton came of age in this theologically argumentative environment; he remained in it and of it throughout his life, though some of his later opinions locate him on its eccentric fringe. To say that Milton's views were heterodox, then, does not mean that he pursued questions that his contemporaries did not; it means that he arrived at some minority positions on issues that were continually and fervently discussed.
To praise Milton, as Wittreich does, as a poet of contradiction misses the fact that he did his utmost to avoid contradictions; it is rather like praising an architect for cracks in his buildings. The uncertainties, tensions, contradictions, injustices, ambiguities, subversions, evasions, horrors and doubts which generations of readers have found in Milton's poetry do indeed exist; the mistake (and Wittreich is by no means alone in making it) is to suppose that Milton put them there on purpose. They are there despite his best efforts. They are not there because his intellectual or artistic powers were inadequate to his subject matter; they are there because he was struggling with inherited moral and intellectual problems that could not be solved. If Milton could not justify the ways of God to men, could not explain away the difficulties that inevitably arise once one patches a Christian interpretation onto an ancient Near Eastern myth about the first two people being tricked by a talking snake, it wasn't for lack of trying. To understand Milton it is not necessary to find his answers satisfying. But it is necessary to acknowledge that he aimed to produce answers, that he brought all of his learning, intelligence and artistry to bear on the task, and that he took for granted (as did all parties to these religious controversies) that much was at stake in getting the answers right. To be praised for raising the questions he would have taken as condescending nonsense. The fact that Milton wrote a long treatise on Christian doctrine (and described it as 'my dearest and best possession') should be enough to demonstrate the point: why would one undertake such a project unless one felt that getting Christian doctrine right was a fundamentally important task? When Wittreich describes Milton as 'privileging hermeneutical suspicion over complacent exegesis', the possibility he leaves out is that of non-complacent exegesis.
The picture of Milton as a poet of contradictions appeals to readers who wish that he had been less religious; it also appeals to the modern tendency to prefer literature that doesn't try to answer the questions it raises to literature that does. Most readers today – most critics, at least – prize what Keats called 'negative capability': 'uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason'. Keats praised Shakespeare as the great exemplar of this quality, which shows through in Milton scholarship as a desire to make Milton look more like Shakespeare. Critics who describe Milton as a poet of contradictions generally feel, as Wittreich does, they are paying him a compliment. Their corollary assumption is that Milton's stock would be devalued if he were discovered to have anything so unpoetical as an opinion.
Will smash the ruling class yet.
The people's praise, if always praise unmixt?
Things vulgar, and well weigh'd, scarce worth the praise?
Milton's modern reputation as a champion of free expression derives from 18th-century Whig appropriations of Areopagitica, but readers who come to that pamphlet expecting a free speech manifesto might well be surprised to find how limited its tolerationist argument is. Milton argued for religious toleration not because he believed in it as a general principle (like most of his contemporaries, he never would have extended it to Roman Catholics or to non-Christians), but because he feared, with good reason, that his preferred form of religion wouldn't be tolerated under an Episcopal or Presbyterian establishment. The main reason he stuck with Cromwell was probably that he saw the Protectorate as the best means of safeguarding freedom of worship for Independents.
As Sharon Achinstein has pointed out, Milton depicts the Philistine lords' command that Samson give 'public proof' of his strength at the Dagon festival as an attempt to force him into an idolatrous performance, which is the way many English Dissenters viewed the requirements of public liturgical conformity under the Clarendon Code. When the Chorus marvels that God casts down those he had previously exalted, its words recall the fate of former revolutionary leaders: the trials of Vane and Lambert, the exhumed and desecrated bodies of Cromwell, Ireton and Bradshaw.
Samson Agonistes is not a historical allegory like Dryden's Absalom and Achitophel, whose biblical characters stand for identifiable Englishmen (King David is Charles II, Absalom Monmouth, Achitophel Shaftesbury, and so on); but like Dryden, Milton creates an Old Testament setting evocative of the English political landscape, and, like Dryden's, Milton's political stance can be discerned clearly enough. Samson Agonistes is a militant, unyielding poem, part of the considerable body of militant Nonconformist writing of the 1660s and 1670s. The political message it conveys to Milton's fellow defeated Saints is roughly this: no matter how bad things get, remain true to your conscience and open to the promptings of the Spirit, and strike back at the ungodly when the Spirit moves you to do so. The poem's homicidal end would have registered to those readers as an expression of hope, however provisional: as God raised Samson, despite his errors and defeats, to strike a final blow against his enemies, so may he raise 'faithful champions' in the future. There is of course much more to Samson Agonistes than this: there are sophisticated discussions of political obligation, marital obligation, legitimate use of force, steadfastness in the face of misfortune, and the extraordinary lament on blindness that sent shivers down my back when I first read it as a teenager, and still does. But the poem's complexities do not make it a 'critique of violence'. Whether you like it or not, Samson Agonistes is the fiercest poem Milton wrote: politically unrepentant, morally uncompromising and unequivocally homicidal. The last fact should not come as a surprise, since the homicide is there in the biblical original.
Samson Agonistes offers something much more challenging to modern readers than a liberal cautionary tale about sectarian violence: it gives us a terrorist's eye view written by someone whose sympathies are squarely with the terrorist. To those who would like to believe that high art cannot celebrate violent revenge, or that celebrations of violent revenge cannot be high art, Samson Agonistes offers evidence to the contrary. To those who have formed the mental habit of associating religious violence with Muslims, Samson Agonistes provides a salutary change of perspective. Wittreich is quite right that one lesson to take from the poem is that 'one man's freedom fighters are another man's terrorists'; he needs only to recognise that this is a lesson Milton would have rejected. He would have accepted this latter-day truism as a description of the fallen world, where many serve false gods as zealously as he aimed to serve the true one; but he would have rejected its implication of moral equivalence between worshippers of the God of Israel and worshippers of Dagon. The divide between religious and secular perspectives is, on this point, absolute.

Close to Llaima volcano, in Chile, lives a creature known as Quetronamun ("duck legs" in Mapudungun). It is described as a dwarfish human with only one foot; it is somewhat penguin-like. Its foot is turned backwards, just like a Guaraní[*] creature, the Corupira which is a dwarf the size of a child.
[*]There are several myths in Patagonia that hint at some kind of connection or relationship between the Paraguayan Guaraní people. A connection that the Mapuche dislike, because it may imply that they migrated to Chile from the southern Amazon jungle. We have look into these myths and this connection between both native groups Here.
By the way, Llaima was also home to a dinosaur-like monster (see our post on it Here).
This hideous Quetronamun may be related to the Invunche (meaning in Mapudungun "monster person"), which was a "deformed and misshapen being, that has its face turned towards its back and that moves around on one leg because the other one is stuck to its neck or nape". It is fed on flesh of newly born babies, lives in a cave and yells like a goat terrifying the neighbors.
The Chiloé natives believed them to be created by wizards.
There is evidence that links both Quetronamun and Invunche to acculturation of the natives and exposure to European myths for there is a similar weird dwarf mentioned by Roman naturalist the Elder Pliny.

He mentioned a creature that was found close to Mount Imavus in a region called Abarimon, in Asia, where "wild men of the woods whose feet are turned back to front. They run very fast and roam abroad with the wild beasts".
It is very likely that the Spaniards introduced these myths into Chile during the conquest.

When Annemarie Chase first started her YouTube channel five years ago, she was already heavily invested in the platform as a fan. The now 21-year-old from Anchorage, Alaska remembers thinking "it was pretty revolutionary in my head that I could go onto YouTube and find a video about how I can maintain my eyebrows, because I had big eyebrows and [didn't] know what to do with them," she tells Teen Vogue. But those handy tutorials quickly morphed into something more meaningful. "It became my sense of community that I had that I don't think I really felt in other places, especially as an introverted person," she says.
Fast forward five years and Annemarie, a senior at the University of Southern California, has two successful YouTube channels of her own — her main, namesake channel has more than 134,000 subscribers; and her other channel, Annemarie Vlogs, has more than 32,000 subscribers.
Brooke Miccio, 20, from Long Island, New York, built her YouTube presence on a similar timeline. The junior at University of Georgia started her first channel (she has since created a different one) when she was 14 years old. At the time, she says, the platform was mostly made up of music videos and vloggers focusing on fashion and beauty — so she started with the latter, showing off her outfits and makeup, but gradually realized it wasn't her "forte" and transitioned to more of a lifestyle page. Now, she has more than 150,000 subscribers.
At this point, for both vloggers, what they're doing definitely seems at least a little bit glamorous. They both have traveled around the country and the world, collaborated with plenty of brands, and have legitimate fans. Plus, they're making money (which started a couple years in for each). Both of them monetize their content via Google (YouTube's owner) AdSense, which pays them for ads played before their videos, but they get the majority of their income from brand sponsorships. Each sponsorship typically involves the YouTubers incorporating specific products or services (provided by the brands) into their videos, following specific requests from those brands. Vloggers, like other influencers, can also make money off of affiliate links in the descriptions of their videos, which are links to specific products or services; when followers click on those links and make purchases, the YouTubers get paid.
Both Brooke and Annemarie often get approached by brands for these partnerships (but they can reach out themselves, too), and then they have to agree on rates and what will be included in the sponsorship. Brooke now works with a manager who does the negotiating for her (for a portion of the rate she pulls in), while Annemarie does that on her own.
And while those negotiations can result in a big range of payments (which, Brooke notes, are largely based on subscriber numbers), the averages for both Brooke and Annemarie are certainly impressive. Annemarie says that someone with 100,000 subscribers generally pulls in about $1,000 for a sponsored video. And Brooke says her range is usually between $1,000 and $5,000 per video, depending on various factors (like the brand and its budget).
And then there's the IRL aspect, which can involve attending events (like trade shows or conferences) and making appearances as part of brand sponsorships, like Brooke's visit to a mall in Philadelphia. "Obviously [I'm] in college, and it's difficult to manage leaving on weekends — especially when you're missing fun events with your friends — but it's definitely worth it to grow your business if you're really passionate about it," Brooke says.
Both Annemarie and Brooke were set on pursuing that higher education degree. "Ultimately, I wanted to have the college experience," Brooke says. "I value my education so much. I think I've learned and grown as a person," and, she says, it's also been a good transition phase between high school and full-blown adulthood.
Plus, being in the classroom setting and learning about "the backend of business" has helped give her valuable perspective to her own work and partnerships with brands. "I'm looking at things through a different lens and getting more of an idea of what audiences are looking for," she says.
And for Annemarie, while she was at first uncertain about how college would affect her YouTube channel and if it would detract in any way, she actually found that her student perspective has been incredibly valuable to audiences. She noticed when she first started posting college-related videos that they garnered lots of views, which she credits to the fact that it was a unique niche of YouTube content at the time. "So the thing that became really scary at first because [I thought], 'I don't know what's going to happen to my YouTube,' actually became a huge asset," she says. On the flipside, being a YouTuber has helped her in school; the skills she's learned have served her very practically in things like creating videos for presentations.
That said, they're not just in college to serve their own YouTube success. While both Brooke and Annemarie intend to continue vlogging past graduation, they're not expecting that to be their full-time jobs. Brooke, a marketing major, is thinking about a career in digital marketing or something else creative. And Annemarie, a business administration major, is also thinking about potentially going into a marketing job, or perhaps exploring public relations.
But Annemarie and Brooke handle all of that in stride. "The way that the comment is written, you can tell...I don't care about this person's opinion [and] this is probably not a person I should be worried about," Annemarie says of her negative commenters.
As for Annemarie, she may have initially been attracted to YouTube because it provided an online community perfect for her introverted self; but now, that same platform is what has helped her become a bit more extroverted. After all, she says, there's not much to vlog about if she's just sitting at home all the time.
The bottom line? Being a YouTuber, especially one who's also a full time student, sounds exhausting. But it also sounds incredibly fun and rewarding. Annemarie and Brooke have both been at it for a long time, but they got to this point because one day they each decided to just do it. And that's exactly what Annemarie's top piece of advice is for anyone who wants to try their hand at it, too.

BMW Emerges Victorious at Nurburgring 24 After 9.5-Hour Rain Delay
The Bavarians' 20th overall victory came courtesy of the M6 GT3 following a 10-year drought.

The 50th 24-hour marathon around the Eifel mountain range, home to the Nürburgring, was all about the 9.5-hour rain break lasting through most of the night. This included making the correct tire choices afterward as another rain shower hit the field one hour and 45 minutes before the end on Sunday. While early on, it seemed that perhaps Audi's naturally aspirated, V10-powered, mid-engine R8 LMS GT3s had the winning formula, in the end, the brand had to settle for P2 between two front-engine BMW M6 GT3s getting everything out of their twin-turbo V8s. Meanwhile, carrying most of the ballast in the name of "Balance of Performance," Glickenhaus' barely tested SCG 004C finished 14th overall, beating quite a few GT3 cars along its way.
After 85 laps of the 15.72-mile Nordschleife circuit, the ROWE Racing team scored the Bavarian manufacturer's 20th overall victory at the N24. The last time a BMW won the N24, however, was a decade ago with Schnitzer Motorsport's 2010 M3 GT2, so the No. 99 BMW M6 GT3 finishing 15.452 seconds ahead of the second-placed Audi is big news for Munich.
On Saturday, BMW's crew struggled to match Audi's pace in the wet. The wild weather around the Nürburgring has led to red flags in 1992, 1994, 2007, 2013, 2016 and 2018, followed up by this year's ultra-long nine and a half-hour rain break. This meant the cars were parked for most of the night, which is always the toughest section to survive.
After getting quicker and quicker on the drying side of the tarmac, once it started raining again, ROWE Racing managed to switch to wet tires a lap before the previously leading Audi R8 LMS, which then only returned from the pits 15 minutes before the clock ran out. Despite giving it everything they got, Christopher Haase had no time left to catch up to the leading M6 GT3 driven equally hard by Nick Catsburg:
With ROWE Racing's Nick Catsburg, Alexander Sims and Nick Yelloly celebrating their victory in the No. 99 car, BMW Team Schnitzer followed in third place with the No. 42 M6, thanks to drivers Augusto Farfus, Jens Klingmann, Martin Tomczyk and Sheldon van der Linde.
Here are a few reactions from ROWE Racing, whose previous best result was a second place at the 2017 24 Hours of Nürburgring.
Hans-Peter Naundorf, Team Principal: "It is fantastic that BMW rocked the race here. Together, we showed what the BMW M6 GT3 is really capable of. The key to the success was the team spirit and our great squad of drivers, who did not make any mistakes. All the drivers did a magnificent job and were at the limit, even in difficult conditions. There was obviously an awful lot of tension in the final laps because it was extremely close. However, Nicky Catsburg did a really good job of closing it out. It was one of the toughest races we have ever been involved in. A big thank you goes to the organizers, the other teams and manufacturers, and everybody who made it through the event. It doesn't get any better. We are overjoyed."
Nick Catsburg, Driver: "I am incredibly happy. I have wanted to win this race for so long. The Nordschleife is my favorite circuit. We have tried so often, and have now finally done it. A big thank you to my teammates Alexander Sims, Nick Yelloly and the whole team. Our brief was to keep the car on the track and not make any mistakes. That is exactly what we did."
Alexander Sims, Driver: "It is simply fantastic to have won this race. It almost feels a bit strange to be relatively refreshed at the end of such a tough race, because we had the break in the night. It is a fantastic feeling. We have been trying for a long time—first with the BMW Z4 GT3, then with the BMW M6 GT3. That makes today's success special."
Nick Yelloly, Driver: "That was my first 24-hour race, as I did not get to drive here last year. The pressure was on, as we really wanted to get that 20th win, 50 years after the first BMW victory. My teammates and the car were mega and we made the right decisions at the right time. In the end, we made it through the race without a single mistake. This is definitely the biggest success of my career so far."
2016 was an AMG 1-2-3-4 at the Nürburgring 24 Hours. 2017's podium was the opposite of 2020's, with the ROWE M6 sandwiched between two Audis. 2018 favored Manthey Racing's Porsche 911 GT3 R, with them skipping this race due to positive coronavirus tests after Le Mans. 2019 once again saw two Audi R8s up there with a Mercedes-AMG GT3 at P2, while this 14.5-hour rain event was a triumph for BMW.
After 10 years of persistent running, the Bavarian automaker was finally able to recapture the podium's top step. Hopefully, the race can be held back in spring next year, leaving teams with somewhat warmer weather and providing fans with an all-night endurance spectacle.

Samsung's Galaxy Note 8.0: Introduction & Hands On
by Anand Lal Shimpi on February 23, 2013 9:00 PM EST
Samsung's goal for 2013 is to see the same success in tablets as it did in smartphones in 2012. It's a lofty goal, but one that is entirely feasible if the company brings more Nexus 10-class devices to market this year.
Today Samsung is officially introducing its first tablet launch of the new year: the Galaxy Note 8.0. To understand the Galaxy Tab/Note divide, you simply have to look at the Galaxy Tabs as content consumption focused devices while the Galaxy Note offerings are geared more towards productivity.
A big part of the productivity story is the integrated S Pen, which is present on all Galaxy Note devices including the new 8.0. The S Pen is a battery-less stylus that is driven by a Wacom digitizer layer in the Galaxy Note display stack. Samsung offers a combination of its own apps as well as customized third party apps to take advantage of the S Pen.
Where the Galaxy Note 8.0 breaks new ground is that it is the first device to ship with Awesome Note for Android. Samsung claims to have at least a 1 year exclusive for the pre-loaded Android version of the popular iOS application.
The Galaxy Note 8.0 integrates Samsung's Exynos 4 Quad (4412) SoC, which features four ARM Cortex A9 cores running at up to 1.6GHz. The 4412 also features ARM's Mali 400MP4 GPU, this is the same SoC used in the Galaxy Note 10.1. The SoC is paired with 2GB of RAM.
As its name implies, the Galaxy Note 8.0 features an 8-inch 1280 x 800 Samsung PLS display. New for the Note 8.0 is a special reading mode that appears to play with white balance/color calibration in order to reduce eyestrain:
Reading Mode: Disabled
Reading Mode: Enabled
The usual features like Smart Stay (using the front facing camera to detect when you're looking at the tablet and thus overriding display timeout settings) are also present.
Just like the rest of the Note lineup, Samsung includes an integrated IR blaster in the Galaxy Note 8.0.
Camera duties are handled by a 5MP rear facing module and a 1.3MP front facing camera.
The Note 8.0 will be available in 16GB and 32GB configurations, with a microSD card slot for expansion. There's a non-removable 4600 mAh battery inside the Galaxy Note 8.0 (should be around 17 Wh, so slightly bigger than what's in the iPad mini).
The 8.0 will ship with Android 4.1.2. All of the aforementioned specs apply to the international version of the Note 8.0, with US details forthcoming. Samsung will have WiFi, 3G and 4G LTE versions of the Galaxy Note 8.0 available starting sometime in Q2. The cellular versions retain full phone capabilities; in other words, you can hold a Galaxy Note 8.0 3G up to your head and make phone calls just like you would with a Galaxy S 3.
This year Samsung is trying to shorten the gap between the launch of a WiFi tablet and subsequent cellular enabled derivatives.
I had the opportunity to play with a pre-production version of the Galaxy Note 8.0 in Barcelona. The 8-inch form factor is honestly a good balance between portability and productivity. It's a bit bigger than the iPad mini, but at 338 grams it never feels heavy.The device itself looks very similar to other shipping Galaxy devices, with glossy plastic dominating the materials list.
iPad mini vs Galaxy Note 8.0
Apple iPad mini Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
Dimensions 200 x 134.7 x 7.2mm 210.8 x 135.6 x 7.95mm
Display 7.85-inch 1024 x 768 IPS 8.0-inch 1280 x 800 PLS
Weight 308g (WiFi) 338g (WiFi)
Processor 1GHz Apple A5 (2 x Cortex A9, PowerVR SGX543MP2)
Samsung Exynos 4412 (4 x Cortex A9, Mali 400MP4)
Connectivity WiFi , Optional 4G LTE WiFi , Optional 3G/4G LTE
Memory 512MB 2GB
Storage 16GB—64GB 16GB/32GB + microSD
Battery 16.3Wh ~17Wh
Starting Price $329 TBD
The S Pen functionality is obviously a big selling point of the Galaxy Note family, and it seems to work relatively well. I wouldn't put the Galaxy Note lineup on the same level as Microsoft's Surface Pro, but it's also nowhere near as expensive either. The device's performance is a lot better with the latest software builds on the 8.0 that it was on the Galaxy Note 10.1 back when I first used it. There's still perceivable lag when using the pen to draw/write, but the stylus is still usable. Samsung also enables the ability to display multiple applications on the screen at the same time, which is also much better implemented than when the 10.1 first launched.
Overall, I'm not a fan of the Touchwiz UX customizations however and I'd much rather see a lighter weight software layer from Samsung instead. Icons and text always seem a bit too large for my tastes, although I understand what Samsung is going for with the design. Despite those complaints, the user interface remained relatively quick and responsive in my brief hands on.
While I believe the Galaxy Note 8.0 will do a good job filling out the Note lineup, if Samsung really wants to end up at the top of the tablet market it needs a much more aggressive foot forward. I would like to see increased emphasis on higher quality materials, a more streamlined/lightweight Touchwiz stack and aggressive adoption of new features. Samsung did a great job with the Nexus 10, I'd love to see what it could do with a similar approach to tablets of all sizes.

I'm a happy user of galaxy tab 7.7 3G tablet (doubles as my cell phone, and better than iPad mini in every aspect I think). I just hope they release 3G version with phone capability at around $600 so that I can upgrade my tab with this one.
ltcommanderdata - Saturday, February 23, 2013 - link
Is Awesome Note just a straight port of the iOS version? The UI theme definitely looks more consistent with iOS than Android.

Isnt the hardware outdated for a 2013 Tablet device ?
retrospooty - Sunday, February 24, 2013 - link
Yup... A quick and easy decision to pass on this has been made in my head. A Nexus 7 with 1920x1080 ( or 1200 whatever it winds up being) blows this away . Give me res, or you lost my purchase, period. That goes for phones, tablets, laptops and desktop LCD's. I am done with distinguishable pixels.
jramskov - Monday, February 25, 2013 - link
Screen resolution is disappointing. The iPad mini is a no go for exactly that reason.
guidryp - Saturday, February 23, 2013 - link
Rumor is that the Googles next Nexus will be similar screen size but have 1920x1200 resolution, Tegra 4, and sub $300 price.
http://gadgets.ndtv.com/tablets/news/asus-and-goog...
The Pen is an interesting novelty, but the higher resolution, better CPU matter much more to me.
Lonyo - Sunday, February 24, 2013 - link
If the pen is just an interesting novelty, you shouldn't be looking at the Note in the first place, you should be looking at the regular Galaxy Tabs. Not that they fare any better, since the specs on those are even worse as they haven't been updated.
Comparing something with a pen/digitiser to something without though, it's silly, because they aren't really comparable.
That's also why Samsung created a new product line (the Note) for their pen-enabled devices. It's not cheap, and it's not for everyone, but it is somewhat unique compared to the competition.
If the main selling point of the device doesn't interest you, it should be pretty much irrelevant what the rest of the device is made up of.
guidryp - Sunday, February 24, 2013 - link
The Pen shouldn't be an excuse to do an otherwise mediocre Job.
This is just like where the Galaxy Note 10, is a piece of garbage compared to the Nexus 10, but oooh it has a pen so that makes it all ok.
It doesn't.
Death666Angel - Sunday, February 24, 2013 - link
The Nexus 10 can be as great as anything, but if the buyer needs a pen, it's a massive fail. The piece of garbage in that buyers mind would be the Nexus 10 and not the Note 10 as one is completely unusable for him.
Needs a pen on Android? A few people might want one to play with, but the need for a pen on Android is questionable.


A belated welcome to John Murtagh. John is the full-time project officer employed for TraD – formally his job title is Research Data Management Officer. He comes from working at the University of the Arts London where he was involved in two strands of work – Kaptur (the VADS-led project looking to adapt repositories for creative arts research data) and UAL's own RDM work. UAL (like UEL) is one of the Digital Curation Centre's institutional engagement partners, and has also developed an institutional policy on the management of research data. We're very pleased that John has joined us in building RDM capability in East London.
We launched our questionnaire to researchers (both academic staff and PGR students) on 29 November. This aims to inform us of current researcher RDM practice, where the challenges are, and what they would like from a support service and infrastructure. It will also help with training needs analysis, both generally and specifically in Psychology and Computer Science.
John Murtagh reworked some of the questions in October, with his work on the Kaptur project and DCC's institutional engagement at UAL fresh in mind. In particular, he added scenario-based questions in the final section to ground researchers' consideration of a future RDM support service in the real world. John compiled the survey using LimeSurvey software.
