Of course I can mention more jazz right here. This week we can enjoy two generations of jazz artistry with young pianist Will Kjeer joining forces with his uncle, Kenny Horst, at The Nicollet; a new dazzling duo of Dean Magraw and Steven Hobert at Jazz Central; two nights with Nachito Herrera and a new collaboration at the Dakota; and a homecoming for trumpeter John Raymond, performing at the Dakota (Thursday) and hanging around til at least the following Monday (Icehouse).
Friday, July 17. Before he closed the Artists Quarter at the end of 2013, owner/drummer Kenny Horst had welcomed nephew Will Kjeer to the stage more than a few times, now and then with his trio and weekly for about six months as pianist for Steve Kenny's Group 47-- all while Will was still in high school. Now, after a post high school year at Interlochen and a couple months before he starts college studies at Cal Arts, Will has organized a "Summer Band" at The Nicollet with Uncle Kenny on drums. Keeping the cross-generational theme, Will's band also includes veteran saxman Dave Brattain and 18-year-old bassist Charlie Lincoln, himself heading to jazz studies in September, on the other coast at Berklee.
At Jazz Central, a relatively new partnership is on display with guitarist Dean Magraw and pianist Steven Hobert. The pairing debuted a few months ago, showcasing two of the area's most imaginative musicians. Dean and Steven are capable of magical mayhem in any context.
Parma 8200 continues its Friday nights of top area vocalists, and tonight it's crooner (and historian) Arne Fogel with frequent collaborators Steve Pikal and Rick Carlson, while other dinner music options tonight include a sublime duo of Dave Karr (sax) and Bryan Nichols (piano) at the Icehouse and the string half of the Atlantis Quartet, Zacc Harris (guitar) and Chris Bates (bass) at Vieux Carré.
Jazz at the Black Dog is not limited to Saturdays! As usual, Todd Harper hosts Piano Fridays during happy hours, tonight with saxophonist Chris Hagedorn, paving the way for the always surprising Donald Washington Trio (with Yohannes Tona and Mick LaBriola) later in the evening.
The Dakota hosts another night with Jay Young and the Lyric Factory, and tonight's theme is "Bandwith: A Tribute to 50 Years of Top Ten Hits." Bassist Jay and ensemble promise arrangements of classic to current hits by Miles Davis, Marvin Gaye, Pink Floyd, Chaka Khan, Prince, The Beatles, Sting, Aretha Franklin, Simply Red, Cheryl Lynn, Lizz Wright, and many more.
Saturday, July 18. If it's a summer weekend, there must be a music festival somewhere! This afternoon and evening, Midtown Global Market hosts its annual Music Festival, and you can hear some favorite jazz performers, including the vocals and guitar of the long-time duo Charmin Michelle and Joel Shapira and the youthful antics of the Levi Schwartzberg Quintet.
Saturday Night at the Black Dog presents a saxophonic evening! Leading off will be a free jazz duo of saxophonists John Devine and Bill Lang. These veterans are followed by a much younger gaggle of improvisers led by saxophonist Joe Mayo and his quartet--with Zacc Harris, Andrew Foreman and Lars-Erik Larson. Wouldn't it be cool if Devine and Lang sat in?
Crooner's Lounge features pianist/vocalist Linda Peterson, who now makes her primary home in Minnesota after building her career in southern California. Sister of Patty, Billy, Paul and Ricky, there's likely to be at least one other Peterson on the bandstand.
Dinner sets at Vieux Carré tonight feature the Peter Schimke Duo... meaning there is another musician. A mystery at the moment. But as long as you can hear Peter's keyboards, you have a great band experience awaiting.
Sunday, July 19. Swinging jazz with brunch? At least two venues will oblige on Sundays. At the Aster Cafe, hear Patty and the Buttons, aka accordionist Patrick Harison and his swinging cronies (usually Tony Balluff, Keith Boyles, and Mark Kretizer). At Crooners Lounge, there's a weekly brunch, this week featuring Maud Hixson and the Wolverines Trio (Rick Carlson, Steve Pikal, Jendeen Forberg). Swing those eggs and screwdrivers!
St. Albert the Great Church in south Minneapolis has hosted a series of Sunday afternoon jazz concerts this summer, and today's offering is Charmin Michelle, singing with support from saxophonist Kenni Holmen, pianist Bill Duna, bassist Kent Saunders and drummer Jay Epstein.
Monday, July 20. He doesn't take the spotlight often, but it's always a treat to hear saxophonist Brian Grivna, and tonight he is the featured artist at Jazz Central. Take advantage of the opportunity-- between gigs with JazzMN, touring pit orchestras and theaters, it's not every night we can hear Brian in a jazz club setting!
Fans of vocal jazz will enjoy tonight at Crooners, with the Rhonda Laurie Trio. Rhonda has a special fondness for the songs of the 30s and 40s, but also finds obscure gems from other eras to keep a listener on full alert. Her cohorts tonight are Rick Carlson and Steve Pikal, so you know the night will swing.
JT's Jazz Implosion at the Icehouse is always worth the late night, but tonight's show is among the most unusual of the series in recent memory. Featuring vocalist/spoken word artist Mankwe Ndosi, cellist Tomeka Reid, bassist Silvia Bolognesi and percussionist Davu Seru, Body mEmOri "works in both structured and free improvisation to open imagination spaces and build interconnection with wisdoms of ancestry and the forces of nature... the worlds of string, text, percussion and voice transport us through time and universes both cosmic and intimate." At the Icehouse the band will be joined by master improviser, saxophonist Nathan Hanson.
Monday-Tuesday, July 20-21. Hearing Nachito Herrera at the Dakota is nothing new -- the Cuban pianist has been burning down the stage for more than a decade. But for these two nights, celebrating the re-establishment of US-Cuba diplomatic relations, Herrera brings an all-star ensemble to his home venue, dubbed The Universals. The band features eclectic violinist Karen Briggs, Cuban drum star Raul Pineda, New York-based saxophonist Mike Phillips, and Senagalese bassist Cheikh Ndoye, pledging to take us "around the world in two nights."
Tuesday, July 21. Vieux Carré starts its second week with pianist/composer Jeremy Walker and his trio--sure to include two of the area's best on bass and drums. In Lowertown, imaginative guitarist Park Evans takes the bandstand at the Black Dog.
Two of the area's finest big bands are on call tonight, with the combustible Explosion Big Band, led by Doug Haining and Scott Agster, filling the chairs at Jazz Central, while "up north," the adventurous Acme Jazz Company is on the bandstand at Crooners Lounge.
A special early set at Jazz Central tonight features a "young gun" from McNally Smith, saxophonist Lucia Sarmiento and her quintet. We've been hearing Lucia around town lately, particularly at the 2014 Twin Cities Jazz Fest on the Youth Stage and with Breaking Brass at the 2015 festival on the 6th Street Stage. Originally from Lima, Peru, Lucia studied there with Andres Prado, and came to McNally Smith by way of Buenos Ares. Among her cohorts is pianist Will Kjeer.
Wednesday, July 22. It's always a treat, and an increasingly rare one, to hear Steve Kenny's Group 47. With pianist Will Kjeer at Interlochen most of the past year, and now heading to Cal Arts in September, the gigs will continue to be intermittent. The band reconvened to play one of the last sets of the Twin Cities Jazz Festival last month, and now they make their debut at Vieux Carré tonight: leader/flumpeter Steve Kenny, young lion tenor saxophonist Thomas Strommen, pianist Kjeer, bassist Adam Tucker, and drummer Alex Burgess. The repertoire is largely original music, including tunes from their 2014 LP, Straight to Vinyl.
At Jazz Central, a new trio takes the bandstand for "new music night." The Adrian Peterson Ensemble (APE) isn't led by a new Peterson -- it's a collaboration of drummer Adrian Suarez, bassist Graydon Peterson and pianist Joe Strachan. New band, new music from established artists.
Not all the fun takes place tonight in Minneapolis. Tonight's installment of the All Originals series at Studio Z features an awe-inspiring trio of Bryan Nichols, Chris Bates and JT Bates (aka Nichols/Bates/Bates). Put Nichols at Studio Z's sparkling Steinway, add the playfully inventive Bates brothers, and you're set for an evening that defines "all originals."
And a quick update-- jazz tonight a Khyber Pass features a trio of amazing credentials and sounds: Adam Linz, Paul Metzger and Phil Hey. And they start late enough that you can make at least some of the show after an earlier event.
There's an enviable double header at Vieux Carré tonight, starting dinner hour with the swinging Zack Lozier Three in the unusual configuration of trumpet, bass and either guitar or piano; hang around for more traditional but no less playful or swinging, the Travis Anderson Trio.

El Banco de Guyana (en inglés Bank of Guyana) (BoG) es el banco central de Guyana. Se estableció en 1965 antes de la independencia del país en 1966. Dr. Gobind Ganga ha sido el gobernador de BoG desde diciembre 2014.

Logotipo del banco
El logotipo del Banco se divide en cuatro secciones, que representan las industrias del arroz (arriba a la izquierda), madera (arriba a la derecha), construcción naval (abajo a la izquierda) y minerales (abajo a la derecha).

Historia
El Banco de Guyana se estableció en virtud de la Ordenanza del Banco de Guyana No. 23 de 1965. La operación real comenzó el 16 de octubre. 1965 – siete meses antes de que el país obtuviera la independencia política. El temprano establecimiento del Banco fue promovido por un acuerdo del Gobierno Británico (en representación de los todavía coloniales miembros de la Junta Monetaria del Caribe Británico (BCCB) y el Gobierno de Trinidad y Tobago), para la disolución del BCCB a mediados de 1967 y el cese de la emisión de moneda después de 1965.

La Ordenanza del Banco de Guyana estableció el Banco Central como una 'institución autónoma' con sede en la ciudad capital de Georgetown.

Dentro del contexto de la política económica del Gobierno, el Banco se guiará en todas sus acciones por los objetivos de fomentar la estabilidad monetaria y promover condiciones crediticias y cambiarias conducentes al crecimiento de la economía de Guyana.

Además de especificar los arreglos administrativos y de gestión del Banco, la Ordenanza, entre otras cosas, decretó que el Banco:

 tienen el derecho exclusivo de emitir y canjear billetes y monedas
 actuar como banquero de los bancos comerciales
 actuar como agente fiscal y síndico de un banquero del Gobierno
 administrar los acuerdos de pago celebrados por el Gobierno
En septiembre de 2019, el Banco de Guyana bloqueó la compra de Republic Bank Financial Holdings de las operaciones de Scotiabank en Guyana. En diciembre de 2019, el Banco de Guyana se convirtió en el organismo administrador del primer fondo soberano de riqueza del país. Cinco meses después, el fondo recibió su primer pago de regalías de USD 4,9 millones de la producción de petróleo en alta mar. En octubre de 2020, el Banco de Guyana optó por suavizar los requisitos de identificación de los bancos comerciales para que los titulares de cuentas individuales abran y mantengan cuentas, admitiendo que los requisitos anteriores eran demasiado estrictos.

Revisiones de ordenanzas
La Ordenanza por la que se estableció el Banco fue revisada y se convirtió en la Ley del Banco de Guyana. CAP:85:02. Esta Ley fue revisada nuevamente en 1995, 1998 y más tarde en 2004. Las revisiones posteriores mejoraron significativamente el papel y el propósito del Banco dentro del marco del sistema económico y financiero de Guyana. Adicionalmente, otorgaron mayor autonomía al Banco en cuanto a su constitución, administración y funcionamiento.

Moneda y monedas
El Banco comenzó a emitir los nuevos billetes en moneda nacional el 15 de noviembre de 1965, para reemplazar los billetes del BCCB, cuya emisión se esperaba que cesara el 31 de diciembre, 1965. Sin embargo, las monedas nacionales no se emitieron hasta mediados de 1967. Hasta la fecha, el Banco ha mantenido a De La Rue y Royal Mint como proveedores de la moneda nacional.

En 2012, el Banco de Guyana comenzó a emitir billetes de $5000, la denominación más alta en la historia del banco.

Ubicaciones
En su establecimiento, el Banco se encontraba en locales temporales en tres ubicaciones. El Gobernador operaba desde una oficina que se le asignó en el Edificio del Parlamento.

Se alquiló espacio de oficinas a Colonial Life Insurance Company, High Street, Georgetown, para albergar el Departamento de Investigación, mientras que la oficina del BCCB en el edificio de la Oficina General de Correos, Georgetown, ejecutó operaciones de divisas en nombre del Banco.

Liderazgo
El Banco comenzó bajo el liderazgo de su primer Gobernador, el Dr. Horst Bockelman, quien fue secundado por el Deutsche Bundesbank (Deutsche Bundesbank), Alemania. También participó en la creación del Banco Central en la vecina Trinidad y Tobago. Posteriormente, el Gobernador fue apoyado por el señor Kemal Sogancilar, quien fue nombrado Gerente Bancario. Fue adscrito del Banco Central de Chipre, pero sirvió anteriormente en el Banco Central de Turquía.

Todos los demás puestos fueron ocupados inicialmente por guyaneses. Dos años más tarde, William P. D'Andrade accedió a la máxima posición para convertirse en el primer gobernador guyanés del Banco. Fue miembro ex officio de la Junta Directiva como resultado de su cargo de Secretario de Hacienda, Ministerio de Hacienda y luego se desempeñó brevemente como Vicegobernador.

Gobernadores
 Horst Bockelmann, 16 de octubre de 1965 - enero de 1968
 William Peter D'Andrade, enero de 1968 - 1973
 Patrick E. Matthews, 1973 - septiembre de 1991
 Archibald Meredith, septiembre de 1991 - junio de 1997
 Dolly Sursattie Singh, junio de 1997 - junio de 2005
 Lawrence Theodore Williams, junio de 2005 - mayo de 2014
 Gobind Ganga, desde noviembre de 2014

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3: Video and Image Quality
May 31, 2011 by Jim Keenan Reads (4,769)
Video quality out of the G3 was quite good overall – among the best I've seen out of a still camera with a video component. Full HD video is only available in the AVCHD format, which requires compatible equipment in order to view. The more universally recognized Motion JPEG (MPEG) format is limited to 720 HD resolution.
Audio is recorded in stereo. Maximum recording time for an AVCHD clip is 13 hours, 3 minutes and 20 seconds, subject to battery and memory media limitations. MPEG captures are limited to 2GB in size. The one button video capture is seamless, and when set for continuous AF the G3 is quite good at adjusting focus as subject distances change during capture. Audio proved to be susceptible to wind noise, but there is a wind cut feature available via internal menu.
As good as the G3 did in video production overall, it also served up a fairly distinct dose of rolling shutter effect with relatively modest pan speeds. Rolling shutter effect is a characteristic of the CMOS sensor that can produce a skewed image of vertical lines as the camera is panned across a field of view. The effect was present and noticeable in our G3 (both AVCHD and MPEG formats), but the camera still has a very capable video component.
Default images out of the G3 are very good with regard to color fidelity and sharpness in the IA/IA+ modes – in part, I suspect, because the camera employs features such as Intelligent Resolution in the mix of settings for auto shooting. IR basically identifies portions of the image consisting of outlines, high detail areas and soft gradation areas and optimizes edge sharpness and detail areas while smoothing the gradation areas. Here's a couple of default auto shots at the mission:
IR is disabled as a default in the manual modes, but may be user enabled. I found shooting aperture priority with default settings a bit too soft for my taste. Here's a shot in aperture priority at default settings, then with IR set to standard and then high levels, and finally with IR set to high plus additional contrast and sharpening:
IR Standard
IR High
IR High with additional sharpness
The IR shot with the additional inputs gets my vote.
The G3 presents a "photo style" color palette consisting of standard, vivid, natural, monochrome, scenery, portrait and custom options. Here are the first four:
In addition, there's the "creative control" shooting option that offers expressive, retro, high key, sepia and high dynamic looks:
High Dynamic
The G3 also features Panasonic's intelligent dynamic range (IDR) settings to attempt to broaden the camera's apparent dynamic range. Here's the mission breezeway in aperture priority with no IDR enabled, then again with high levels of IDR. While IDR seems to have some effect, there's not much to choose from between the standard and high settings.
IDR Off
IDR High
While the 14-42 isn't going to get you too "close" to distant subjects, the 16 megapixel sensor will allow for some fairly aggressive cropping to chop out some of that distance. The original shot comes out of the G3 at 15.31 x 11.48 at 300 dpi – while the first crop measures out at 12.77 x 8.52 inches at 300 dpi. The second crop goes really aggressive and ends up at 11.09 x 7.4 at 300 dpi.
Crop 1
Auto white balance was used for all the shots in this review and did a good job in most light, but shot warm with incandescent lighting. The G3 offers daylight, cloudy, shade, incandescent, fluorescent and flash presets, 2 custom settings and a temperature option spanning 2500 to 10000 degrees Kelvin in 100 degree increments.
Auto White Balance, 5500k fluorescent light
Panasonic's multi metering mode did a good job overall with normally lit scenes, but did clip some highlights on occasion in high contrast scenes. A lot of the shooting was done with our typical "May gray" weather pattern here in southern California, and the overcast can make for some horrendously bright skies that play havoc with metering when they intrude into a scene. There are center-weighted and spot metering options available.
When he reviewed the G2 back in June 2010, DCR contributor Andy Stanton commented that the G2's high ISO performance might have fallen a bit short of DSLRs at the time. Since then cropped sensor DSLRs have raised that bar, with both the Nikon D7000 and Canon 60D I've reviewed turning in excellent high ISO imagery. As a Four Thirds sensor camera, Panasonic starts the ISO fight almost with one hand tied behind its back – the Four Thirds sensor is larger than those found in even high end compact digitals, but smaller than the APS-C sensors residing in everyone else's DSLRs but Olympus. All else being equal, with similar resolutions on different sized sensors, the larger sensor usually wins the noise race.
The good news for Panasonic fans is the G3 appears to deliver better high ISO noise performance than the G2, even with a resolution increase from 12 to 16 megapixels. The not-so-good news is it still seems to fall a little short of the newest generation DSLRs. I don't think it's as good as the D7000 or 60D, and I think the D3100 just edges it out at 3200 ISO (there's no 6400 ISO in the D3100).
Breaking things down, I don't see much to choose between 160, 200 and 400 ISO – all look virtually identical. Even 800 looks very similar at first blush, but a close inspection shows that fine details are beginning to suffer, even though the overall image doesn't seem to show much increase in grain.
ISO 160, 100% crop
ISO 1600, 100% crop
ISO 1600 shows a slight but distinct increase in noise with more pronounced grain, although fine details seem to hold their own at this step. ISO 3200 shows a fairly dramatic drop – more grain and fine details getting almost smudged. ISO 6400 is another steep drop off, lots more grain and fine details becoming more indistinct.

This is the fifth revised edition of the best-selling A Practical Guide for Translators. It looks at the profession of translator on the basis of developments over the last few years and encourages both practitioners and buyers of translation services to view translation as a highly-qualified, skilled profession and not just a cost-led word mill. The book is intended principally for those who have little or no practical experience of translation in a commercial environment. It offers comprehensive advice on all aspects relevant to the would-be translator and, whilst intended mainly for those who wish to go freelance, it is also relevant to the staff translator as a guide to organisation of work and time. Advice is given on how to set up as a translator, from the purchase of equipment to the acquisition of clients. The process of translation is discussed from initial enquiry to delivery of the finished product. Hints are given on how to assess requirements, how to charge for work, how to research and use source material, and how to present the finished product. Guidance is given on where to obtain further advice and professional contacts. This revised edition updates practices in the translation profession and considers the impact of web-based translation offerings. Industry and commerce rely heavily on the skills of the human translator and his ability to make intellectual decisions that is, as yet, beyond the capacity of computer-aided translation.
Now in its fifth edition, the book has two hundred pages packed to the bindings with advice, explanations and must-have information. It is written with a clear structured approach that does not confuse the beginner to the profession neither does it seek to teach old timers how to suck eggs.
Geoffrey Samuelsson-Brown is a translator with more than 30 years experience in the profession. He has taught translation at the University of Surrey and has given papers at national and international conferences. He developed from working as a freelance to managing a significant translation company. His career as a translator has turned full circle and, after selling his translation company, he returned to the creativity of working as a freelance again. While the art of translation demands many skills, the author continued his personal development and completed a Master of Business Administration degree in Strategic Management, International Enterprise and a management research project entitled "Skills Auditing in Small to Medium-sized Enterprises".

Abstract: Documented variations in the isotopic compositions of some chemical elements are responsible for expanded uncertainties in the standard atomic weights published by the Commission on Atomic Weights and Isotopic Abundances of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. This report summarizes reported variations in the isotopic compositions of 20 elements that are due to physical and chemical fractionation processes (not due to radioactive decay) and their effects on the standard atomic-weight uncertainties. For 11 of those elements (hydrogen, lithium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, sulfur, chlorine, copper, and selenium), standard atomic-weight uncertainties have been assigned values that are substantially larger than analytical uncertainties because of common isotope-abundance variations in materials of natural terrestrial origin. For 2 elements (chromium and thallium), recently reported isotope-abundance variations potentially are large enough to result in future expansion of their atomic-weight uncertainties. For 7 elements (magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, molybdenum, palladium, and tellurium), documented isotope variations in materials of natural ter- restrial origin are too small to have a significant effect on their standard atomic-weight uncertainties. This compilation indicates the extent to which the atomic weight of an element in a given material may differ from the standard atomic weight of the element. For most elements given above, data are graphically illustrated by a diagram in which the materials are specified in the ordinate and the compositional ranges are plotted along the abscissa in scales of (1) atomic weight, (2) mole fraction of a selected isotope, and (3) delta value of a selected isotope ratio.
