FISSURE by Joe Billy | INTERVIEW
Author: Sean Manuel
Some musical elements remain relevant in perpetuity. These include chord progressions like the harmonically-seminal I-IV-V (i.e. The Isley Brothers' "Twist and Shout," Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds," or Buck Owens's "Act Naturally"-among many rock 'n' roll, blues, and gospel works) and the colloquially-dubbed "doo-wop" I-vi-IV-V (i.e. The Marvelettes' "Please Mr. Postman," Dion DiMucci's "Runaround Sue," or The Police's "Every Breath You Take" - among others). Wielding a "dusty old acoustic guitar" in 2016 and mastering several chord voicings, Clifton-based acoustic punk artist Joe Billy honors the harmonic tradition and keeps his progressions easily-accessible; however, his sophisticated lyricism tackles societal issues and renders his original output piercingly effective. Fissure, Billy's first full-length album release since 2018's Don't Mind Me, marks a radical departure from his previous three albums. While the previous albums feature Billy performing solo on vocals and guitar with light auxiliary percussion, Fissure features dynamic arrangements from the Joe Billy Collective: a full ensemble composed of two guitars, bass, drums, violin, and trombone. Inspired countermelody efforts on violin, trumpet, and trombone augment Billy's signature sometimes-cynical-others-whimsical prose to create a complete package indicative of Billy's artistic maturation. Prior to the Joe Billy Collective's February 5 show at Rockwood Music Hall (196 Allen St., New York, NY) commemorating Fissure's February 6 release, we caught up with Joe Billy.
Congratulations on the forthcoming album release! Tell us about the Joe Billy Collective and Fissure. How did the Joe Billy Collective and Fissure materialize?
So my solo project, Joe Billy, originated in 2016 after I got fed up with trying to form my own punk band, to no avail. For one reason or another, it just became hard to find band members that would want the same thing out of it as me. And so after some time I just said "ynow what, I'll do it solo".
But then after a few years of doing that, and becoming somewhat established, I had this craving to add more elements into my music. So I asked a few friends of mine to be my band for one of my birthday shows in 2019. Every so often we would have a show like that, but then eventually it became a much more desired thing to do, both from myself, and from those who have played with me. The reason it became more of a "Collective" than a "Band" is because I understand everyone has stuff going on. We're all working musicians with our own lives and not everyone's always around. So as time has gone on, I've found more and more musician friends that want to play the occasional show with me. So depending on the date and who's around, different members play different shows, and thus became the "Joe Billy Collective." There's only been a couple shows, in fact, that have been the same lineup of members!
As for "Fissure" it was pretty much the same thing; I wanted to not only take my live shows to the next level, but also my released material. The songs I ended up writing for this album needed far more instrumentation and musicianship than I could do by myself. While I was still able to track the drums, the guitars, the lead vocals, and a couple songs on bass, I hired some friends who play in the collective to add their own layers to the album on instruments like Violin, Upright Bass, Trumpet, and then some.
Your past album releases entitled Censor This (2016), Let 'Em Fall (2017), and Don't Mind Me (2018) feature you performing solo on vocals and guitar with auxiliary percussion as needed. Can you compare-and-contrast your creative process between your previous efforts and Fissure's full ensemble effort?
While I did still write the songs myself for "Fissure," I think the main difference was what I had mentioned about wanting more. For the first couple years of Joe Billy, I was completely content with just doing what I can all by myself to see how much I can do with a song with just my voice and my guitar, and some extra layers. I also had this intense desire to just get my art out into the world that I didn't care AS much as I do now for how it sounded or if I considered it "perfect" or anything. I just wanted to do SOMETHING. And so I think after 3 albums of doing that, and experimenting with a song like "We All Die Eventually," I wanted to really take it up a notch haha.
What aspects of the full ensemble were empowering?
Honestly for what it's worth, this album is the best collection of material I have ever written thus far. I am super proud of where I've gotten both as a person, and as a musician, and that is apparent with these songs. The meticulous process of carefully thinking about every word and every note and being completely honest with myself and others about how it feels and sounds was quite different and an incredibly fun and reflective experience. Plus the songs are just so fun to play, tracking them on any instrument I tracked, or sang, was just fun the whole time haha. And it was so awesome to bring my friends into that fun. When we would do tracking sessions we just had ideas bouncing around like "Oh what if you did this, or this, or what if it sounded like this?" There was a lot more opportunity to be creative with the songs.
Did you face any new challenges?
Well, the main one definitely would have been 2020 as a whole haha. We started the process of this album, I believe, in very late 2019. Then in March, at the end of the week that we had finished tracking all of the acoustic guitars, our state went into lockdown. And at that point, there really wasn't much that the producer and I were able to do apart. All of the songs were written, I had already decided on what my other parts were going to be. So we were just kind of stuck, waiting to be able to meet up again. After a longer amount of time than we hoped, we started it back up. But even then we had some challenges. For instance, Billy Smolen, who tracked most of the bass on the album, felt more comfortable recording from home, so he sent us a bunch of different takes and we took bits and pieces from each one that we felt fit each part. Which, to his credit, still turned out great, it was just more editing. Any other obstacles really stemmed from me personally, as this was the first time I had been trusting this many people with my own music. From production, to instrumentation, to even some lyrical editing, that was for sure a personal exercise for me.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Dropkick Murphys-esque opening track "Here I Am, Vulnerability," for you make the unconventional choice to highlight the acoustic bass and violin in devoted instrumental sections and (for the violin) a melody above your lead vocal. Can you expand on the rationale behind that choice and tell us about the inspiration behind the song?
Oh I love that song. I think it's legitimately my favorite song I've written yet. Lyrically, it comes from reflecting on my own personal journey I've been on, unpacking many of my habits and tendencies and getting to the roots of some issues I've dealt with for much of my life. All the while, having this reassurance that, while it will be difficult, I do have the power to make things better.
As for the instrumentation, I felt this topic needed a very intense and chaotic feel to it. So I pulled a lot of inspiration from bands like Flogging Molly and Larry and His Flask for instance. The more I listened to the demo, given its very celtic vibe, the more I felt it needed an upright bass and violin, which turned out SO much better than I expected. That song would have sounded pretty different with an electric bass I think. And the violin parts that Jason Biggs added on really gave the song the higher pitch energy it needed, it really made the song "scream" in a sense.
A somewhat deep cut: "Fuck My Pride." The song is "vintage Joe Billy" featuring you on lead vocals and acoustic guitar. Is there any continuity between this song and "Pride" from your debut album Censor This (2016)? Does "Fuck My Pride" expand on "Pride?"
That is a very good and interesting question! While I didn't have any conscious effort of correlating the two, now that I think about it more, they definitely derive from a very similar place. My older song "Pride" is all about how pride can lead people to caring about no one but themselves and in turn leaving the whole world to waste while they stay comfortable in power; in their bubble. And "Fuck My Pride" is honestly not too different. I think it expounds on more nuance than the first song, I think it asks more questions, and demands more reflection from the listener, and I think it gives a good amount of food for thought on how much control we actually have over certain things. From what I remember, "Pride" was more of a direct accusation to the people who embrace the effects of prolonged narcissism, while "Fuck My Pride" offers more of an honest and vulnerable pondering point about our own, including my own, human conditioning and where we decide it will lead us. That song was originally called "Fuck Your Pride" actually, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized I also get caught in my own toxic forms of pride that lead me to being selfish or close minded, and so it's a moment of vulnerability, as with much of my music, to say "I'm an imperfect human just like you, but we can try to be better together.
In your December 19, 2020 Bassey Noise feature, you explain the drums are your primary instrument; however, lineup troubles motivated you to exclaim, "fuck it, I'll learn a few chords on guitar and just try it solo!" I find your guitar performance highly-percussive. Does your drumming background factor into your approach to rhythm guitar?
Absolutely! It's funny, I've gotten that a lot over the years, where if someone compliments my playing they'll say "Wow your right hand is so fast!" or "You're such a percussive guitar player, it's like I can hear drums even though there aren't any." So yes, that was one of the main things I had early on, because I didn't know much about guitar at all. Hell, to this day I probably don't know as much as I should haha, but it's always been about the energy for me. Plus being inspired by bands like Days N Daze and Mischief Brew helped me understand how much is possible with very little. It goes back to the "how much can I do with just this one guitar to get the message across."
You're a self-described "acoustic punk" artist. Describe the genre mix within this designation.
Growing up on punk rock, I always wanted to start a punk band, as I said, and it's always been a type of genre that resonated with me a lot. When I play punk music, I feel I can get not only my message across, but my emotions, my energy, my passion, etc. When I picked up the acoustic guitar and started learning, I was also discovering more and more "folk-punk" artists, which many people consider me as well. And while I'm totally fine with that, because it does make sense, I never wanted to limit myself too much in terms of what kinds of songs I will end up wanting to write. I know I will always write what I consider punk music, to some extent. But I also try to write with a very open mind of what will work for the song rather than what will work for a certain sub-genre. I felt giving the description of "acoustic-punk" describes what I do enough without putting myself too much into a box. That's why I have songs like "Half Here" or "Bad Habits" but then also songs like "No Sympathy." But for all I know, maybe I just wanted to be a contrarian haha!
What artists do you actively channel through your music?
Frank Turner, Mischief Brew, Against Me, AJJ, Days N Daze, Anti-Flag, Flogging Molly, Alkaline Trio, Larry and His Flask and then some. I like drawing inspiration from a lot of different bands and artists, but those would definitely be the most inspirational for me.
Tell us all the details about your February 5 Fissure release show at Rockwood Music Hall!
Oh I'm super excited about that show! I recently got in contact with someone at Rockwood, and since I don't really have much footing in NYC yet, they were telling me about their "Stage 1" which is their smaller, donation based room. Where bands can basically book a 45 minute set for themselves, and it's free to get in. Not even thinking about it, we confirmed the date Feb 5th, the day before "Fissure" is fully released on Feb 6th! So I thought, why not make it a "Pre-Album Release Show?" So at 6pm, the collective will be performing "Fissure" in its entirety for the first time EVER. Some of the songs have never even been played live yet, it's going to be awesome.
What plans do you have for 2023?
Plenty! We already have some awesome shows coming up, which you can stay up to date on through my site or socials. I definitely plan on putting together some touring because I miss touring so much. I recently just signed on with Dirty Scoundrel Record Collective as one of their artists, so I'm excited to see what kinds of new things will be possible through them. We've already been working on physical copies of "Fissure" to be available at shows. I have another birthday show here in NJ on March 24th, which is always a good time. And most likely new music, new merch, and new collaborations in the not too far future! I already have a bunch of new songs ready to be fleshed out. So ya, lot's of new and exciting possibilities coming this year!
What is the best way for your audience to connect, interact with, and support you?
Folks can find me on social media @joebillymusic, and you can also find pretty much everything that has to do with "Joe Billy" on my website, joebillymusic.com. In terms of support, folks coming to shows, like that means the world to me, it's so nice seeing people at shows. But even so, any amount of listening or purchasing or support you give my music is so appreciated, I really can't keep doing this without you all.
Is there any other information we should know about?
I actually have an email list as well, which is a great way for people to get direct announcements and updates on Joe Billy things. You can find a way to join on my site, it pops up and tells you. Or feel free to just message me, my DMs are always open! And again, thanks so much. I'm endlessly grateful for those who support me in any way, and for people like Sean who allow me a chance to ramble about myself for a bit! Much love everyone.

Nintendo Hosts "Mario Level-Design Workshop" at the Los Angeles Public Library – 3WIREL!
Nintendo are known for making software that sparks children's imaginations and creativity, and Super Mario Maker is just one example of this. Through giving a large collection of tools to play around with, gamers of all ages can create creative worlds to jump around within. Nintendo is holding a special event that sparks children's imaginations using the 3DS version of Super Mario Maker.
With the Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS game, which recently launched exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, players of all ages can play a wide assortment of fun Super Mario courses, as well as create their own wild courses using the game's intuitive interface. To highlight the engaging creation aspect of the portable game, Nintendo teamed up with the City Dads Group – an organization focused on giving dads a network to bond with their children and fellow parents – to bring an interactive "Build, Play, Share" workshop to the Los Angeles Public Library. Hosted by Nintendo game experts on Jan. 27, the workshop provided a fun space for families and local teens to enjoy building together. But in this case, instead of building something physical in the real world, participants learned to build virtual courses in the world of Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS.
The "Build, Play, Share" workshop invited people of all ages to the Los Angeles Public Library's Central Library in downtown L.A. to work in teams to conceptualize and build their own courses in Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS. Game-design experts from Nintendo were on hand to lend their expertise to attendees, while also providing tips and sparking course-building ideas. In addition to this event in Los Angeles, video assets will soon be available on the Play Nintendo website for other organizations to access so they can host their own "Build, Play, Share" workshops.
Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS features 100 built-in courses, as well as select courses from the Super Mario Maker game on the Wii U console. In addition, courses that are in progress can be shared with other players via the Nintendo 3DS system's StreetPass feature and local wireless so multiple people can collaborate on building courses together. Nintendo 3DS systems provide a fun way for adults and kids to enjoy video games anywhere, whether on a road trip, at home in the living room or even in the library! With many different models available, anyone can pick up a Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 2DS system starting at a suggested retail price of only $79.99.
This is wonderful to see Nintendo use their video games to help students learn; shows how they care not only about game development but the future in the industry. We will continue reporting on Nintendo as further information comes out.

Former President John Dramini Mahama has advised the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo to distance himself from taking taxes from churches as they are planning to do.
Recently, there has been a debate on various media platforms on if whether churches should be asked to pay taxes to help develop the country as the ruling government has stated that they are putting everything in place to roll out the collection of taxes from churches.
In reaction to this, Former President Mahama advised the government to stay away from issues that bother with the church because the Christian Council has been tasked to deal with churches that go contrary to some directives and they are the group mandated to deal with church issues.
He further went on to state that instead of the government planning to take taxes from the church, they should rather offer help to the Christian Council that can help them regulate the churches because taxing them won't help solve the problem.

First and Second Report from the Select Committee on Transportation…
BAINES, Matthew Talbot (Chairman).
London: by order of Parliament, 1856.
Two volumes, tall quarto, both copies in recent blue polished half calf, original printed wrappers bound in.
Transportation to Western Australia
Two of the most important reports on transportation to Western Australia, and perhaps the most detailed public accounting of the aftermath of the convict system in the eastern colonies. Written while the gold rush was well under way, the reports are effectively a capstone on the whole system, relating the closure of transportation to New South Wales in 1850 followed shortly afterwards by Van Diemen's Land in 1852.
Both reports provide detailed historical and anecdotal information on the transportation of convicts to Western Australia, then the only remaining Australian colony willing to take felons from Britain. Other options and possibilities for prison building and penal reform in Great Britain were explored at depth by the Committee given the vast reduction in convicts that could be sent to the eastern Australia.
The Minutes of Evidence drawn upon a range of testimonials, including that of Horatio Waddington, then Under Secretary State for the Home Department. Waddington describes the final years of transportation to eastern Australia in a succinct yet evocative manner. He begins with the 1838 Committee report chaired by Sir William Molesworth, a damming incitement of the convict system that strengthened local popular movements against transportation in both New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land. In furnishing his evidence Waddington summarised the importance of the 1838 Report as a moral compass for future policy, with transportation deemed 'also as a bad punishment in itself, failing to deter criminals at home, or reform them abroad; in fact it is impossible to have a report more decidedly adverse to it.'
Nonetheless, an astonishing deluge of some 17,000 convicts were sent to Van Diemen's Land between 1840-1845 with disastrous consequences. There were far too many to be gainfully employed by free settlers, resulting in immense numbers set to work in chained gangs upon public projects. Crime, lawlessness and fear followed in due proportion, and although transportation was suspended for a few years following 1845, public sentiment had hardened and the last transport sailed for Van Diemen's Land in 1852.
Interestingly, these reports of 1856 coincide with the gold-rushes in Australia. This factor played an important part in closing convict era as newfound wealth has gave the colonies greater confidence and political self-determination. Ironically, it was feared that the existence of so much gold may actually act as an incentive to commit crimes and receive transportation to Australia free of charge. By this stage 'ticket-of-leave' men from Van Diemen's land were considered a dangerous scourge on the Victorian goldfields.

Liéramont est une commune française située dans le département de la Somme, en région Hauts-de-France.

Géographie

Description
Situé sur un plateau argileux, le territoire communal de ce village tourné vers l'agriculture domine la vallée de Templeux-la-Fosse et d'Aizecourt-le-Bas.

En 2019, la localité est desservie par la ligne d'autocars  (Épehy - Villers-Faucon - Péronne) du réseau interurbain Trans'80 Hauts-de-France.

La nappe phréatique  qui alimente les puits en 1899 se trouvait alors entre . Aucun cours d'eau ne coule sur le territoire.

Le lieu-dit la Carrière, à un kilomètre du centre du village, compte trois habitants dans une maison en 1899.

Toponymie
Le nom du village s'est formé à partir de Leheramont, Liramont, Lyeramont et Leheramont. Il pourrait signifier établissement champêtre.

Histoire
Le village a primitivement appartenu aux comtes du Vermandois. Il est ensuite passé aux mains de Hues de Dompierre dit Baudoin.

En 1344, Simon de Liéramont est nommé abbé de Ham-en-Artois.

Pendant la guerre contre l'Espagne, au , le village appartient au sieur de Liéramont, gouverneur du Câtelet.

En 1750, Hélène Antoinette du Feu de Liéramont, fille des châtelains, épouse le baron d'Hanmer Claibroke.

En 1765, M. Marbert (Maubert) cède le village à la famille de Hanmer de Claybrooke.

Le château a été démoli par le baron Alexandre de Claybrooke et les biens ont été vendus en partie à des « cultivateurs » locaux.

À la fin de l'épopée napoléonienne, les Cosaques ont occupé le village en 1814-1815 et y ont exercé des réquisitions.

Depuis le défrichement de  de bois opéré vers 1850, la commune est considérée à la fin du  comme totalement déboisée. On mentionne qu'à cette époque, les tisseurs locaux émigrent vers Saint-Quentin, à la recherche de meilleurs salaires, ce qui fait baisser la population.

The Question of Occupy | Encounter. Encourage. Engage.
I don't understand the point of the "occupy" protests but I do think I have a clue as to the motivation. The definition of the purpose of their gatherings is lacking, but there has to be some reason they do what they do. It can't just be that they are trying to kill some time until they eventually have to try to get a job, can it?
The economic situation is as shaky as it has been in my lifetime and the indicators for forecasts are relatively weak. With this in the wake of bailout money, executive abundance, leadership gridlock and corporate scandal, the potential for unrest is real.
Anybody that submits to some authority, which is everybody, conditions their submission to leadership on trust. They have to trust that leadership is ultimately for them in for them to make a free-will choice to follow. If the belief becomes that leadership is not looking out for their best interests and there is room to shift allegiance, rebellion is almost certain sooner or later. For every person actually protesting currently, how many more are disenfranchised or disillusioned?
The only legitimate leadership is leadership that sacrifices the wants and desires of the leader's self-interest for the betterment and advancement of those that are being led. The leader, when operating within their legitimacy, gives of himself so that those that follow can be raised up to a better position. They forge ahead making hard decisions, facing risks and choosing sacrifice over selfishness to benefit the subordinate.
The follower will submit willingly when they can trust the sacrificial intent of the leader. They will gladly follow the trail that has been cleared and enjoy the benefits of the brush being cleared away. Apart from the trust in leadership, they would have to forge their own trail or find a more legitimate leader. As long as the path is properly attended to and focused on by the person on the point, leadership mistakes will be forgiven with a trust that the intent is right.
This applies at every level of leadership. National, corporate, family and individual. The choice to follow is conditioned on the willingness of the leader to sacrifice. Without legitimate sacrifice, the trail of an illegitimate leader looking out for himself will eventually be vacated by those that no longer trust the integrity of the direction.
The call from the masses has always been for Trustworthy direction. The heart cry of a people willing to submit is "are You for real" and "are You for me?" When they see and experience, then they will believe and will submit in confidence that the Way has been made ready by Sacrifice. Leadership is in the Sacrifice . . . more than just words, but actions that call a following because they serve the followers at the expense of the One called to lead.


We're Having a Cookout – a Solar Cookout!
Citizens for Solar came out to TCDS last week and held some wonderful presentations on solar cooking.
Mr. Adam worked with them to teach the kids about solar cooking – and cooked up some tasty food for the students to sample.


Gennady Rozhdestvensky's parents were both musicians of the highest calibre: his father was the conductor Nikolai Anosov, a major musician of the Soviet era, a fine pianist, and a composer who spoke ten languages; and his mother was the soprano Natalya Rozhdestvenskaya, a star of the Bolshoi Opera, whose name he adopted. He studied first at the Gnessin Institute of Music, and then at the Moscow Conservatory; here he was a piano pupil of Lev Oborin, and a conducting pupil of his own father. When Rozhdestvensky was twenty he made his public debut at the Bolshoi Theatre conducting Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, having already achieved distinction as the conductor of prizewinning student orchestras at international music competitions in Bucharest and Berlin. He served as a conductor at the Bolshoi Theatre between 1951 and 1961, assisting the distinguished conductor of the ballet company, Yuri Fayer; deputising for an ailing Samuel Samosud in an early performance of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10 in 1955; first visiting Great Britain with the Bolshoi's ballet company in 1956; and, together with Alexander Melik-Pashayev, leading the first performances at the Bolshoi of Prokofiev's opera War and Peace in 1959. During the 1960s he held two major posts in Russian musical life: between 1961 and 1974 he was chief conductor of the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra, also known as the All-Union Radio and Television Orchestra, and from 1964 to 1970 he was chief conductor of the Bolshoi Theatre. Major musical landmarks of this period included the first Russian performances of Benjamin Britten's opera A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Bolshoi in 1965, and an electrifying account of Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in 1970.
After helping to found the Moscow Chamber Opera in 1972 and serving as the company's first music director, Rozhdestvensky conducted abroad a great deal. He succeeded Antal Dorati as chief conductor of the Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra in 1974, remaining with this orchestra until 1977, after which he became chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra from 1978 to 1981. He left London to become chief conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra between 1981 and 1983; while in Vienna he maintained an important Russian tradition by teaching conducting at the Vienna Academy of Music, having already been professor of conducting at the Moscow Conservatory. He was later to continue to teach, at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena from 1987. Rozhdestvensky returned to a permanent appointment in Russia in 1982 when the Ministry of Culture formed a symphony orchestra, named after itself, for him to lead. With this orchestra he recorded a large discography, including the complete symphonies of Shostakovich, Glazunov, Bruckner, Schnittke and Honegger. Between 1991 and 1995 Rozhdestvensky returned to the helm of the Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra as its chief conductor; and he was also to return to the Bolshoi Theatre for its 2000–2001 season as artistic director for both the ballet and opera companies, the first such appointment in the theatre's history. His period there culminated with the world première of the original version of Prokofiev's opera The Gambler. In 1969 Rozhdestvensky married the brilliant pianist Viktoria Postnikova, who first shot to fame at the Leeds International Piano Competition; their son is the internationally acclaimed violinist Alexander, or Sasha, Rozhdestvensky.
As an interpreter Rozhdestvensky combines a high degree of spontaneity with a grand sense of gesture and an infallible placing of climaxes, resulting in highly satisfying and individual performances. He is a master of baton technique, often using a long stick, which, when combined with his expansive gestures, has a mesmeric as well as a commanding effect upon both orchestras and audiences. His vast musical appetite and his unfailing enthusiasm for twentieth-century Russian composers are most clearly displayed in his discography, which is enormous and chronicles his career in considerable detail. In addition to the numerous recordings which he made for the Soviet state record company, Melodya, there are numerous live recordings from the Soviet period in his career, many of which well illustrate his extraordinary command of the orchestra. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union Rozhdestvensky has recorded extensively for many different labels, most notably Chandos. Rozhdestvensky is a musician of the highest calibre and a true master of his art, whose recordings of contemporary Russian music are both authoritative and empathetic.

New hanger being built at work and we will be building a new antenna farm on the roof. Primary radio is a Technisonic TBS-350 aviation band base station. It has a built in linear amp and outputs 25 watts. It looks like it should be a 100' run from the operations room to the roof. Our previous installs we have always used LMR-400 but this will be a permanent installation vs our temporary trailers we were based in so want to do it right. We will have 2'' pipe run from roof down to first floor with no bends, from there above a drop ceiling the coax would run to the operations room where it will drop down an interior wall and then exit and terminate at the radio.
Roof will have unistrut mounted on a parapet wall and a 16x16x8 NEMA 4 enclosure will be mounted to 2'' pipes to house the lighting protection and then transfer from roof to inside the building.
Using the online loss calculator shows LMR600 putting 20watts out after loss vs the 25 in. To get better than that you have to step up the LDF5-50A which gives 22.5 watts or go nuts with LDF6-50A which give 23.26 watts. The two of us doing the install are very familiar with the LMR400 so leaning towards the LMR600 vs the hardline products which we haven't used before. I might have answered my own question but what do you think?
Also this will end up in a separate thread but we are going to remote control the radio. It has a tone control board built it allowing 2/4 wire, DC/ tone keying. Buying LE20 from CPI remote desk controllers and installing them at everyone desks throughout the office.
LMR-600 might be a good option if that is what you are comfortable with.
You won't be able to tell the difference between 20 watts, 22.5 watts or 23.26 watts. The additional 2.5 or 3.26 watts isn't going to translate into anything noticeable.
Also, the LMR-600 is more flexible and easier to run.
LDF5-50 is going to barely fit in the 2" conduit. I don't think you are going to get LDF6-50 in their at all.
Keep in mind that you need to have a ground wire running from the protectors down to the building ground. If you were hoping to fit a #6 ground wire in there, you're really only going to be able to fit the LMR-600 or LDF4-50 in the 2 inch conduit.
For antenna grounding on a commercial building it would be legal to run #10 copper wire from the antenna to a grounding clamp on the closest metallic conduit on the roof not to exceed about 30ft. That is assuming there are electrical runs on the roof using metallic conduit with home runs to the building electrical box.
We will have a metallic conduit right next to the NEMA enclosure for our obstruction lighting so we could tie right in there. I have to look up the rules but if they bonded the ground with the steel frame of the building I think we could tie into the steel but I'm 90% sure I cannot. Otherwise we would go all the way back to the water main, additional ground rods nearby are not feasible. I figure use the NEMA box for mounting a thick copper plate that the polyphasers can be bolts to and the ground can attach to.
I have to check the plans, we requested (4) 2'' diameter pipes, 2 of them going to the first floor, 2 going to the second floor. No turns, just straight down into the building.
Total plan includes 4 antennas and space for future growth. We have our primary radio the 25 watt TBS-350, a backup probably a basic 8 watt Icom, a scanner that will drive a liveatc feed and then space for another antenna, those are just for our company.
Then we are doing an additional antenna for the heliport itself which only needs reception in a 1-2 mile range so not very concerned about getting a lot of reach out of that one.
I agree LMR-600 will probably be our choice, probably get the ultra flex so no issues making the turns for the lightning protection polyphasers in the NEMA box. Just need to stock up on the N connectors and get the right stripper tools for that, only have them for LMR400.
Grounding to an existing metallic conduit on the roof would satisfy NEC for safety grounding. If you want or need to ground for lightning protection that's a different subject and you should contact a professional company that specializes in lightning protection. That is usually beyond what employees can do and if the company expects to survive a direct lightning hit and it doesn't then you don't want to be blamed for a failed design.
As I always say, "There is no such thing as Lightening Protection, just Damage Reduction!"


Tragic news struck the Penguins' organization late in the evening on Thursday April 6 that former Wilkes Barre- Scranton Penguins' Captian, Dave Gove, had passed away of an apparent drug overdose.
Gove, who played for the Penguins minor league affiliate from 2007-2009, was also elevated to the head coach position of the Wheeling Nailers (the Penguins ECHL affiliate) during the 2015-16 season after Clark Donatelli was promoted to head coach of WBS.
The Pittsburgh Penguins released an official statement and expressed their sympathies on Friday April 7 after hearing Gove's death.
Saddened to hear about the passing of my former coach, Dave Gove. He was one heck of a coach and an even better person. Rest easy, Gover.
Shawn Rine, a sports writer for The Intelligencer and beat writer for the Nailers, spoke with some former team members that played under Gove when he took over as head coach. According to Rine, "...it is clear, the sadness is real."
Rine went on to reflect about his personal experiences with Gove, and that he "was a really good guy that addiction had eaten away at."
By all accounts, Gove was a man full of positivity, was liked by all who got to now him and a head coach full of promise within the world of hockey.
The staff and writers of Pens Initiative send their condolences out to both hockey organizations as well as to Dave Gove's family and friends.

I always wanted to be an entrepreneur. When I was 8 years old, we moved into a new house in New Jersey. We owned one of the first houses built in a new development that would ultimately have hundreds of homes. So there were a lot of homes in the process of being built and it was a hot NJ summer. This was in the mid-1960s and there were no mobile canteen trucks serving the many construction workers that were toiling under the hot sun. So I came up with the idea to buy soda from the local store, ice it up and take in my wagon from site to site. I bought the sodas for $.07 a can and resold them for $.15 a can. My mom would drive me to the store to to pick up the soda (free transportation and storage helped my margin). I really enjoyed it and learned so many business lessons. For example, after doing this for about a month, a new neighbor (competitor) saw what I was doing and went out before me in the late morning and mid-afternoon to sell sodas to the construction workers. My neighbor stopped after a few days because most of my customers said no thanks, Gary is coming in 15 minutes. My first taste of competition, but also the value of being reliable and treating your customers right…building loyalty. Another business lesson started one day when I shocked to find that the generic brand soda was out at the local store. So I could buy the name brands at $.25 a can, increase my price, take a loss or just not sell soda that day. I decided to be upfront with the customers, bought the sodas for $.25 and resold them for the same price. I learned to be honest with customers, if you have a good relationship they will understand. That said, a few wouldn't buy and though I was ripping them off, but most paid and appreciated my candor and my making the rounds. At the end of the summer I actually bought a bike, bought a TV (don't think the IRS can go back this far) and learned some great lessons. And while the money was nice, creating something from nothing was priceless. As it would turn out, the following summer canteen trucks were all over the neighborhood, with soda, burgers, ice-cream and so on. It was like Wal-Mart moving in next to the small retailer. It was a nice ride, but it was over. Another lesson learned, always look out for your competition and know when to take your ball and go home.
I love entrepreneurs. I love working with them, advising them and being an entrepreneur. So how do you know one when you see one? They come in all shape, all sizes, all ethnicities, and all social and income classes. They do have one thing in common–what I refer to as the entrepreneurial spirit. They want to build something from nothing…take an idea and turn it into a product, solve a problem, create a market. They are always thinking of ways to solve problems and better ways to do what is already being done. But the idea isn't enough. You have to have the intestinal fortitude to put it all on the line and actually do it. And the passion to really want to do it. It isn't just the high profile names like Facebook or Google, its anyone defying the odds and doing it on his/her own.
The entrepreneurial spirit is what I look for in advising a company or investing in a company. I want to see the passion, the fire, the fortitude to turn a concept into reality. These are the people I respect and want to work with. While it is hard to specifically define it, you know it when you see it. For me it is like looking in the mirror at the 8 year old boy.
How would you like to partner in a business that has never been done? Game change. Economy booster.
I'll need a bit more data to answer that. I generally stick with IT/Internet, SW/HW, social media types of ventures. That said, I'm always interested in exciting companies, but I do get skeptical when I hear "never been done", "game changer"…I'll drop you an email and you can give me more details.
After having some time on my hands and started following all these Network trails, I have found so often that the term entrepreneur is used very loosely. A successful business person in one and only one business is a successful business person, he is not necessarily, a successful entrepreneur. I feel an entrepreneur is one who repeats his successful business ideas. He loves the challenge to bring about change. I have just finished my web site explaining this better by the experiences I have had. It is still needs some work as only finished last week, some mistakes in it which I will soon fix. Hope you enjoy the read.
LOVE this edition 🙂 It describes me exactly – the entrepreneurial bug bit early (ie., created carnivals in my backyard when I was 10, sold mangos on the street corner, etc) and has not stopped since. In fact my latest venture – http://peerbackers.com – was created to help other entrepreneurs get the funding they need to get to proof of concept or even launch so that more folks can experience the joy of building something from nothing (I think I get more excited when the entrepreneurs using our site reach their funding goal than they do!). Anyway keep up the great work you are doing supporting small business owners – I just followed you on twitter.
Thank you for sharing. It is refreshing to hear your very nice, organic beginnings. Would like to hear more of your stories of adventures in the risk of business beginnings and turning points.
Hey – I own and run a startup in Sweden and India.
if you are open to examining our products and company, I would be v. happy to send you details.
Capital Investment as well as maybe guidance ?
We have tremendous expertise in Mobile (& some in social). and have two products that need acceleration.
Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of when I was in Year 4 and took coconut cakes to school and sold it to my classmates. I let that entrepreneurial spirit slide for many years but I have got my bug back and gone out in full force. Now I help people explore, discover and define their passion (in relation to business) so they can also start doing what they love.
After having a little time on my hands to follow a number of network trails, I have come to appreciate that the term entrepreneur is used very loosely. I have always thought that a person who has a successful business is a successful business person. Taking nothing away from their achievement. However, an entrepreneur is one who loves the challenge of bringing about change in a number of staid industries. He can't help himself, he sees something that is not offering what it should, and then is very much into creating just that.
I have just created my new website, please excuse some mistakes in it, just finished last week and needs some more work.
I've really enjoyed reading your articles. You have a lot of valuable information. I am ready to seek funding for my business, could you please send me an email and I'll send you the information. It may be something you are interested in or maybe you could point me in the right direction.

I'm a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of St Andrews, working on the mineralogy and geochemistry of alkaline rocks and associated rare metal deposits.
I was born and raised below sealevel and surrounded by windmills, in a small town called Rijpwetering in the Netherlands. I went to high school in Leiden and studied Earth Sciences at the VU University Amsterdam, where I completed my BSc degree in 2009 and my MSc degree in 2012. I did my PhD at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland and the University of Copenhagen, being supervised by Prof. Tod Waight, Dr Troels Nielsen, and Dr Henrik Friis.
My PhD research focussed on the complex magmatic and hydrothermal evolution of highly peralkaline nepheline syenites in the rift-related Gardar province in South Greenland, specifically looking at REE-Zr-Nb mineralisation. I defended my thesis in June 2016, shortly after which I moved on to a 3-year postdoc with Prof. Adrian Finch at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.
As a postdoc at St Andrews I continued to work on eudialyte-hosted REE deposits in South Greenland, and various other REE deposits, as part of the NERC funded SoS RARE consortium. The SoS RARE project is a UK-based consortium with partners at the University of Brighton, Leeds, Sheffield, Exeter (Camborne School of Mines) and the BGS. The aim of the project was to bring together mineralogists, geochemists and metallurgists to improve our understanding of REE mineralising systems, and to use this information to develop environmentally friendly and economically viable ways to process REE resources.
I am particularly interested in how late-magmatic fluids evolve and modify the primary mineralogy, and how this influences the processing steps required to extract the metals from the rock. I use radiogenic isotopes (U-Pb, Sm-Nd, Rb-Sr, Lu-Hf) to trace subsolidus mobility of elements and to fingerprint the source of critical metal enrichment. I also use various mineral chemical techniques, such as EMP, XRD, and synchrotron-based X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy, to characterise primary and secondary REE-minerals.
Among other things I'm currently working on heavy rare earth enriched Ion Adsorption Clay Deposits from Madagascar and China with collaborators from the University of Brighton.
At St Andrews I'm also involved in teaching undergrad and postgrad courses in magmatic ore deposits and petrology, demonstrating lab practicals in optical microscopy, field-mapping courses, and supervising MSc dissertation projects at the University of St Andrews and the VU University Amsterdam.

Happy to announce that the last paper of my PhD is now published in Lithos. In this paper we investigate how late-magmatic fluid reactions affect initial isotopic ratios of different minerals and how this affects the accuracy of isochron age dating for peralkaline rocks.
Find a link to the paper here.
Below is a link to a guest blog I wrote with Dr. Will Hutchison for the EGU Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology & Volcanology website.
Will is a fellow postdoctoral researcher here at St Andrews. He studies active volcanoes and ancient magma chambers, and is currently working on the roof zones of alkaline magmatic systems in Greenland, as part of the Horizon2020 funded HiTech AlkCarb consortium.
On 6 to 10 November 2017, the St Andrews team (Nicky Horsburgh, Adrian Finch and myself) attended the Brazilian SOS RARE symposium on Rare Earth Elements, held at the Institute of Geosciences, University of São Paulo. The symposium was organized by Prof. Daniel Atencio and Prof. Marcello Andrade (University of São Paulo) and comprised a series of invited talks followed by field excursions to famous Brazilian carbonatite and peralkaline localities.
Prof. Marcello Andrade kicked off the meeting with a presentation on Raman spectroscopy to fingerprint REE minerals. Dr Andrezza de Almeida Azzi (USP) introduced us to the fascinating geology and mineralogy of the Poços de Caldas alkaline complex. She catalogued many REE minerals from old sample collections of former Poços de Caldas mining sites, many of which are not properly documented to date. Prof. Daniel Atencio gave us a preview of the bewildering mineralogy of the Araxa and Jacupiranga carbonatites.
After lunch and an enjoyable visit to the local mineral museum, Prof. Hermi Felinto de Brito from the Institute of Chemistry (USP) talked about the luminescent properties of RE3+ compounds and the synthesis of persistent luminescent Eu, Tb and Tm materials which can luminesce up to 24 hours after being excited, offering many applications in for example traffic and emergency signalization. Prof. Brito also demonstrated how they synthesize RE3+compounds at high temperature using just a simple microwave oven.
Prof. Henrique Kahn of the Mining & Engineering department of the LCT-Polytechnic School (USP) presented work on metallurgical processing and mineralogical characterization of REE-rich lateritic soils from various Brazilian carbonatite localities. The last three talks were given by us from St Andrews. Prof. Adrian Finch spoke about REE and HFSE mineralisation in magmatic roof zones and applications of luminescence studies to understand hydrothermal alteration and mineralization processes. I presented on the pseudomorphic replacement of eudialyte in the Ilímaussaq complex, including new evidence for late-magmatic REE-HFSE remobilisation from trace element and Sm/Nd isotopic data of microdrilled pseudomorphs (work by my MSc student Mathijs vd Ven). Nicky Horsburgh gave the last talk, on luminescence studies of REE minerals. Nicky demonstrated that mineral luminescence is strongly provenance dependent, illustrating the need for site-specific luminescence studies if we are to apply luminescence as an automated sorting or core logging tool.
Keen to bring out our geological hammers, we ventured north of São Paulo on day two to see some rocks in the field. After a long bus journey, enjoying the luscious green scenery, we arrived at an amazing lujavrite outcrop in the northern part of the Poços de Caldas alkaline complex. This is one of the few places with good solid rock exposures, not obscured by the thick tropical weathering profile that covers much of the complex. The coarse grained lujavrite shows strong magmatic foliation fabrics defined by coarse feldspar laths wrapped in fine needles of aegirine (photo), which is a testament of the low viscosity melt and possibly subsolidus deformation and recrystallisation. The rock is peppered with large (5–6 cm) purple to pink eudialyte which overgrow the foliation fabric, resembling textures seen in the naujaite of the Ilímaussaq complex. We managed to collect a number of samples for further mineralogical studies and comparison to Greenland samples.

My current position is funded by the SoS RARE consortium, which has now entered its third and final year.
SoS RARE is a consortium project funded by NERC and EPSRC under the Security of Supply of Mineral Resources (SoS Minerals) science programme, running from 2015 to 2019. The research team includes 17 investigators from six UK universities and research institutes (Camborne School of Mines, Brighton, Sheffield, Leeds, St Andrews, Sao Paolo, BGS), with ten industry partners and eight core international research collaborators.
More information about SoS RARE can be found on the official website.

Much of my research focuses on a rare breed of magmatic rocks known as agpaitic nepheline syenites. These rocks are fascinating to geologists, mineralogists and geeks alike, for many reasons. To me, the most obvious reason is their incredible mineralogical diversity. Hundreds of minerals were first discovered from these rocks; sodalite, aegirine, arfvedsonite, eudialyte are only a few examples. Famous agpaitic complexes that are record holders in terms of mineral discoveries, are Mont St Hilaire in Canada, Lovozero and Khibina in Russia, and Ilimaussaq in Greenland. And when I say mineralogically diverse, I mean that if you pick up any rock from these locations, chances are it contains a mineral that has not yet been named or identified. Also, they're very pretty and colourful (especially in UV light).
Another reason why we are interested in these strange rocks is that agpaitic rocks present one of very few examples where magmatic enrichment processes alone led to the formation of potentially economic ore deposits of elements like Zr, Nb, Ta, Hf, and Rare Earth Elements. For a magma to become so enriched these elements, the magma needs to fractionate extensively and become highly enriched sodium and halogens. This requires a rather unique conditions, because normally, sodium and halogens are lost as soon as a fluid phase exsolves from the magma. Only in certain geodynamic settings, such as in continental rifts, magmas may be so reduced that volatiles remain dissolved in the melt until the very last stages. This subsequently increases the solubility of incompatible elements and significantly lowers the crystallisation temperatures. This is partly why agpaitic rocks are relative rare in the rock record.
By far the most characteristic mineral of agpaitic rocks is eudialyte. These are complex sodium-rich zirconosilicates with calcium, iron, manganese, niobium, and, importantly, rare earth elements. Where most igneous rocks contain zircon or ilmenite as the main hosts for zirconium and titanium, agpaitic rocks contain complex sodium and halogen bearing minerals like eudialyte, rinkite (Na-REE-Ti-silicate) and aenigmatite (Na-Fe-Ti-silicate). Eudialyte most commonly occurs as red to pink crystals, such as on the pictures below, but orange and yellow varieties are also known.
Pegmatite with red crystals of eudialyte in black sodic-amphibole.
Eudialyte group minerals were first discovered in 1819, in the layered Ilimaussaq complex where they occur in large quantities. The mineral has now been reported from over 100 localities world-wide. Because they occur in such large quantities, eudialyte group minerals are considered as potential alternative resources for a range of technology metals, notably the heavy rare earths and niobium. These metals are indispensable in modern-day technologies, ranging from the permanent magnets used in tiny smart phone speakers, car engines or big wind-turbines [made of NdFeB], to the rare-earth phosphors giving colour to the screens of our electronic devices [using Ce, Eu, Gd, Tb and Y]. Niobium has important anticorrosive properties and significantly enhances the strength, flexibility and general lifetime of steel.
The problem with rare earth elements as well as niobium is that their supply chain is controlled by single producing countries; most of the world's heavy rare earths come from China, and most niobium comes from Brazil. Needless to say, monopoly market positions are risky because the restricted supply of these metals could strangle global hi-tech industries. For this reason, alarmed governments around the world are working closely with geologists and exploration companies to seek and develop alternative resources and to safe-guard the supply chains.
Eudialyte-hosted REE deposits, such as in the Ilímaussaq complex, form an attractive alternative and current work focusses on developing cheap and environmentally friendly ways to extract the metals from these minerals.
My research specifically aims to understand how zoned crystals of eudialyte can be used to trace the evolution of the highly evolved magmas from which they crystallized, how they are replaced by secondary minerals when late-magmatic fluids percolate through the rocks after they crystallized, and how this affects the ore potential.
In more recent work, I've worked out where inside the complex crystal structure of eudialyte the REE's are hiding, using synchrotron-based techniques such as XANES and EXAFS. These techniques allow me to probe the type, number and distance of atoms surrounding the REE atoms inside the crystal lattice.
