MVD Entertainment Group Preps Rewind Collection Edition Of Bright Lights, Big City For Blu-ray Release On Nov. 13
Director James Bridges' 1988 film adaptation of Jay McInerney's novel, Bright Lights, Big City, will be getting "Rewind Collection" status on Nov. 13, so says MVD Entertainment Group.
Michael J. Fox joins the likes of Nicole Kidman (Windrider … on Blu-ray July 24), Jean-Claude Van Damme (Lionheart … on Blu-ray June 12), Olivier Gruner (Angel Town … heading to Blu-ray on Sept. 25) and cult filmmaker Jesus Franco's "guilty pleasure" Blu-ray action gems, Golden Temple Amazons and Diamonds Of Kilimandjaro (debuting Sept. 11) with this Rewind Collection film entry; an anthem of sorts about the rapidly changing "fast lane" culture of the 1980s.
Fox plays Jamie Conway, a mid-20s New York City-based journalist, who finds the party scene more compelling than work. Alcohol and cocaine are the fuel which hasten his descent to the bottom. His mother has died and Amanda (Phoebe Cates), his wife of a fleeting marriage, has kicked him to the curb, so he has plenty of reasons to dull his sorrows.
His guide to world of "bright lights" in the big city is Tad (played by Kiefer Sutherland), who acts as sort of a one-man Greek chorus … a voice of unreason while the drugs consume our hero and the music beats on.
Bright Lights, Big City is indeed an ode to '80s culture; a moment captured beautifully in time by filmmaker James Bridges … and an outstanding new entry in MVD's "Rewind Collection" of Blu-ray special editions.
Bonus features include not one, but two commentary options. The first features author and screenwriter Jay McInerney, and the second comes from cinematographer Gordon Willis. There are also two featurettes — "Big City Lights" and "Jay McInerney's The Light Within" — and an extensive photo gallery.

Paramount Home Media Selects Nov. 6 For The DVD Release Of The Good Fight: Season Two
It started off as a spin-off of the creative duo of Robert and Michelle King's hit series, The Good Wife, but during the second season it came into its own and The Good Fight is now a complete stand-alone (already renewed for a third season).
Paramount Home Media will be teaming up with CBS Home Entertainment on Nov. 6 for the DVD launch of The Good Fight: Season Two, a four-disc set featuring all 13 episodes starring Christine Baranski, Rose Leslie and Cush Jumbo.
Bonus features include a gag reel and deleted scenes.
In other DVD release news this week, Paramount Home Media and Nickelodeon have targeted Nov. 20 for the 18-disc collection titled Hey Arnold!: The Ultimate Collection.
For fans of the animated adventures of Arnold and his pals, Gerald and Helga, this is the one to own come Thanksgiving. You get all five seasons of Hey Arnold! (100 episodes) and the two feature-length films, Hey Arnold!: The Movie (released theatrically in June of 2002) and Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie (which served as a vehicle to sketch in the loose threads from the series).
Bonus goodies include the Claymation short film titled Arnold Escapes from Church, the original pilot episode, "Drawing Arnold" and more!
Also being released on Nov. 20 is the Nickelodeon eight-disc DVD collection of Rocko's Modern Life: The Complete Series. All 53 episodes from this Emmy-winning animated series are included here.
Bonus features include selected commentary, four featurettes — "Behind the Characters with Joe Murray: Rocko," "Behind the Characters with Joe Murray: Heffer," "Behind the Characters with Joe Murray: Filburt" and "Behind the Characters with Joe Murray: The Bigheads" — and more!

Arrow Video Restores Writer/Director Jim Van Bebber's Deadbeat At Dawn For Blu-ray Delivery On Oct. 23
Arrow Video, with domestic sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has a brand new 2K restoration of writer/director Jim Van Bebber's 1988 cult-status revenge thriller, Deadbeat at Dawn, ready for Blu-ray distribution on Oct. 23.
This Blu-ray edition will mark the 30th Anniversary of Bebber's bloodlust classic that has been around as VHS and various DVD product offerings over the years — the original DVD release had seven different street date changes before finally reaching retail outlets in early 2000 (it was originally set for Jan. 4, 1999 and then delayed until April … and then May … August … October and finally one year later it arrived).
This is the definitive Blu-ray edition from Arrow Video! The others are just footnotes to history now.
Van Bebber (who would go on to direct and produce The Manson Family) stars as Goose, the leader of the Dayton, Ohio-based Ravens, who are in a perpetual turf war against their crosstown rivals, the Spyders. Naturally, it is over drugs and other illicit activities.
When Christy (played by Megan Murphy — Money Buys Happiness, Freedom State, Brand Upon the Brain!, etc.), his girlfriend — with some brains — tells Goose that he has to find a real life away from the crime and violence or she is going to look for greener pastures, he realizes that she is right.
He figures that it will be one last score (to set them up) and then he will be on the path to the straight and narrow. However, during his absence a couple of the Spyders decide to have their way with Christy and end up beating her to death in the process. Goose is devastated!
What separates Deadbeat at Dawn from the normal revenge-type thrillers is that Van Bebber doesn't do the ABC — cause and effect — pattern with his script. Instead, he takes his time as Goose is genuinely defeated by Christy's murder and even contemplates suicide. It's a slow boil.
Only when he learns that his Raven buddy, Keith (Ric Walker), has teamed up with Danny (Paul Harper) and "Bone Crusher" (Marc Pitman) of the Spyders for a big score, does he snap out of it and extract his many pounds of flesh!
Bonus goodies include commentary from Van Bebber, who is joined by actor Paul Harper and documentary filmmaker Victor Bonacore (Diary of a Deadbeat: The Story of Jim Van Bebber). Arrow Video is also including Bonacore's documentary on the film, outtakes and a vintage making-of documentary (circa 1986).
Additionally, four of Van Bebber's short films have been restored and are included here — Into the Black, My Sweet Satan, Roadkill: The Last Days of John Martin and Gator Green.

Writer/Director Ol Parker's Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again From Universal Pictures Home Entertainment On Oct. 23
One good turn deserves another. And one musical hit spawns another … it took ten years, but they are back — Donna, Sophie, Tanya, Rosie and of course Sam, Bill and Harry — in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again!
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment made it official this past week, the home entertainment rollout will take place on Oct. 23. Or, should we say, the big commences on Oct. 23!
The ARR works out to 95 days and multiplex receipts hummed to the tune of $118.1 million. The original, back in the summer of 2008, pulled in $143.7 million, so a hit is a hit … even ten years later!!!
As to SKU configuration, Universal is offering up a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack, a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and a DVD edition … and both Target and Best Buy special editions.
Bonus features common to all SKU configurations include two commentary options — one featuring writer/director Ol Parker (screenwriter of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) and the second is with film producer Judy Craymer. Plus there are deleted songs and scenes (with commentary by Parker), ten "enhanced sing-alongs" and a half-dozen production featurettes — "The Story," "Mamma Mia! Reunited," "Playing Donna," "Meeting Cher," "Costumes and The Dynamos" and "Curtain Call."
Exclusive to the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray editions are eight additional "enhanced sing-alongs," five additional featurettes — "Sophie's Story," "Choreographing Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again," "Dancing Queen: Anatomy of a Scene," "Performing for Legends" and "Class of '79" — plus "Cast Meets Cast" and "Cast Chats" videos.

Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment Picks Nov. 6 For The Home Entertainment Rollout Of Director Brad Bird's Incredibles 2
Walt Disney Home Entertainment gets it right with the home entertainment launch of director Brad Bird's animated smash hit, Incredibles 2. When you have gold, there is no reason to rush to market. Take it slow, pick your spot and maximize sales. That's gold!
Instead of a theatrical to home entertainment window of 88 or 95 days, which is the new normal, Disney street-date selection of Nov. 6 — for a three-SKU helping (plus Best Buy and Target exclusives) of Incredibles 2 — works out to an ARR of 144 days.
With domestic box office receipts of $602.6 million (and counting), the studio can, and did, pick a street-date Tuesday that works best for them. Nov. 6 is just fine. Perfect.
As to SKU configuration, there will be a stand-alone DVD edition, a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack selection.
As to bonus nuggets — and there are quite a few — Disney begins with commentary from the animation team, which includes Alan Barillaro (The Incredibles, WALL-E, Brave, etc.), Tony Fucile (The Incredibles, Coco, Brave, etc.), Dave Mullins (Coco, Inside Out, The Incredibles) and Bret Parker (yes, he too was part of The Incredibles team, plus Brave, Monsters University and more).
There are also ten deleted scenes, outtakes, the mini-movie titled Auntie Edna and six featurettes — "Super Stuff," "Heroes & Villains," "Ralph Eggleston: Production Designer," "Strong Coffee," "Paths to Pixar: Everyday Heroes" and "SuperBaby."
Wait, wait … there's more. Director Domee Shi's theatrical short film titled Bao is included here, plus a making-of featurette, character theme songs and more!

'I Am Big Bird' Documentary Will Nest in Theaters This Spring
Image: Tribeca Film
By Katie Sola 2014-10-27 21:04:01 UTC
Tribeca Film will transport Sesame Street fans back to their childhoods when it brings the heartwarming documentary I Am Big Bird to theaters in early 2015.
The company announced Monday that they'd purchased the US distribution rights to I Am Big Bird, directed and produced by Dave LaMattina and Chad Walker, and plan a theatrical and VOD release in the first quarter.

I Am Big Bird tells the story of Caroll Spinney, now 80, who's played Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch for over 40 years on Sesame Street. It combines home videos and in-depth interviews with decades of archival footage, including Spinney's early work with fellow puppeteer Jim Henson.
The indie documentary premiered at Canada's HotDocs festival earlier this year, to rapturous critical reception.
"Caroll entrusted us with telling his story and we're thrilled that we'll finally be able to share it with audiences across the country," Walker said in the statement.
"It traces his journey from bullied child to childhood icon. And as the yellow feathers give way to grey hair, it is the man, not the puppet, who will steal your heart," reads the press release. See for yourself in the trailer below.

Q: Accessing python dateutil relativedelta values I am very new to python and I've run across a small problem that I haven't been able to find an answer to by googling. I am running the following code:
from dateutil import relativedelta as rdelta
def diff_dates(date1, date2):
    return rdelta.relativedelta(date1,date2)

d1 and d2 are two separate dates
years = diff_dates(d2,d1)

print "Years: ", years

The values that get printed out for years are the correct values that I'm expecting. My problem is that I need to access those values and compare against some other values. No matter how I try to access the data I get similar errors:
AttributeError: relativedelta instance has no __call__ method

I need to get the years, months, and days and any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: The object you get, that you call years, has the whole information inside. That object has as attributes the values you want:
In [12]: d = rdelta.relativedelta(datetime.datetime(1998, 10, 20, 1, 2, 3), datetime.datetime(2001, 5, 3, 3, 4, 5))

In [13]: d
Out[13]: relativedelta(years=-2, months=-6, days=-14, hours=-2, minutes=-2, seconds=-2)

In [14]: d.years
Out[14]: -2

In [15]: d.months
Out[15]: -6

Sonal Mansingh's dancing career started in 1962, when she founded the Centre for Indian Classical Dances (CICD) in New Delhi. Over the years, dance has taken her all over the world and brought her many awards, including the Padma Bhushan in 1992, Sangeet Natak Akademi Award in 1987 and the Padma Vibhushan, India's second highest civilian award, in 2003; making her the second female dancer in India to receive such an honour after Balasaraswati.
"Gopis of Gokul-Vrindavan are still crying, weeping, lamenting, screaming your name dear friend. You are no longer that cowherd. You are the royalty of Mathura Krshna! People are laughing behind your back. Stop them from such public display of passion.", said Uddhav to Krshna. Krshna grabs this opportunity to bring out the significant distinction between 'Neeras-Knowledge of Cosmos' vizBrahm-gyaan and 'Saras-Bhakti' that celebrates loving passionate unconditional devotion. Krshna suggests a visit by Uddhav to Vrindavan, to passifyGopis, giving lesson on meditation on Formless (Nirguna) Brahman which would naturally stop their loud public lamentations. The ensuing dialogue between the simple Gopis and Brahm-GyaaniUddhav is hilarious. Uddhav is humble by the overwhelming power of true Bhakti.
Mirth is something contained in sarcasm and repartees. Here is an apt example from Sanskrit SooktiSagarSangraha. Q & A between Satyabhama andKrshna carries new dimensions of same words and ideas which create hilarity laced with sharp intelligence.
Great Emperors and Kings, even sages with deep Knowledge become tamasik or demonic when arrogance subdues their better sense. By doing terrific penance for many thousand years this Asura-King acquired desired boon from Shiva which would imbue him with power of burning every-and-anything to ashes as soon as he would put his hand on the person, object, bird, beast, even gods. Pleased with his new-found power the Asura was ready to test its efficacy on Shiva himself. As he advanced, Shiva left the scene in great alarm but Asura chased him. Suddenly Asura's attention was diverted by entry of a peerless beauty who enticed him to a dance-competition in which the victorious Asura could claim her in marriage! As Asura followed her, even the motion of hand being placed on his own head did not deter him. In a trice Asura burnt to ashes. Mohini revealed her true form as Vishnu. Over-indulgence and arrogance can lead to destruction, therefore purifying mind and thoughts are of supreme importance.
Mandakini Trivedi trained in Mohiniattam under Kanak Rele at the Nalanda Nritya Maha Vidyalaya, and later, under the guidance of Kalyanikuti Amma, Kalamandalam Satyabhama and Kalamandalam Leelamma. An outstanding exponent of Mohiniattam, she has performed extensively at prestigious dance festivals within the country and abroad. She has received the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award for her contribution to Mohiniattam.
Mandakini has chosen to dive into classical literature which affords many examples of humour. She has chosen verses from Adi Shankara's Amaru ataka and Vidyakara's Subhashita Ratna Kosha.The former is a secular love lyric, while the latter is a humorous look at the Gods.

Wuhan Days: What I Learned About Blockchain From Two Months Under Lockdown
A guard polices access to a shopping area in Wuhan. (Credit: Shutterstock)

Wei Liu is Head of Business Development for DeFiner.org, a peer-to-peer network for digital savings, loans and payments. He is based in Wuhan, China.
For my family and me, the Chinese Lunar New Year in January 2020 marked the beginning of a new way of life. I live in Huanggang, a city of seven million in the Wuhan region of China, where the COVID-19 pandemic began. After two months, my lockdown experience is finally ending, and I'd like to share what I've learned in quarantine, particularly about how I've seen blockchain applications provide solutions to the health and economic challenges that face the world.
The unity of the blockchain community was evident from the outbreak of the virus. Blockchain startups, together with local authorities, worked tirelessly to collect and secure medical data, track medical supply chains and provide critical information to medical staff. In the first two weeks of February, companies including Vestchain Technology and Alipay released at least 20 blockchain-based applications to tackle the mounting challenges facing communities and front-line health workers. Since then, one of China's largest couriers, SF Express, has started using blockchain technology to deliver supplies to COVID-19 pandemic victims.

Huanggang is close to the epicenter of the original COVID-19 outbreak. The authorities put strict rules in place and they have been strongly enforced. Only one person in a household could ever exit the house or apartment, and only for absolutely essential needs. Roads into and out of the city were shut down and heavily policed. The government even created an app for people wishing to venture outside. Users who certify they have no symptoms and they have isolated for an appropriate period will receive a custom QR code the authorities may scan. If your app throws up a green border to the QR code, you may go outside. If it's red, you must remain indoors.
I wasn't the household's designated essential shopper, so I spent seven full weeks indoors to prevent infection. As I write, many restrictions are loosening but others remain in force, and it's clear that it will be many days before things fully return to normal. I've been relatively fortunate in my isolation. I live in a house, not an apartment, and I live with family, so I've had the company of loved ones during this trying time. My mother keeps active by dancing, while my little cousin runs and jumps. Even at the height of the pandemic, my family has been healthy and active. While we're all looking forward to the eventual lifting of restrictions, I believe this experience has brought an already tight-knit family even closer together.
Within a few weeks, I was receiving thousands of emails a day in my volunteer role.
Though I couldn't leave the house, I was fortunate enough to be able to continue my day job, which remained unaffected given that my business has always operated on a decentralized model. What I've experienced in the last few months is what my colleagues in the U.S. now face and are coming to terms with. Within a few days of the lockdown beginning, I realized that just doing my regular work wasn't enough. Blockchain workers like me believe in dreaming big; I began searching online with other members of the DeFi community for ways to help.
This crisis instilled a strong collaborative culture in the blockchain and startup world. Providing effective solutions to economic and human problems has always motivated our industry. I quickly learned this when I began helping the Binance Charity Foundation to help facilitate, track and record the movement of vital medical supplies to the hospitals that needed them. Blockchain has a culture of innovation and disruption, so we were able to establish lines of communication and payment very quickly.
Within a few weeks, I was receiving thousands of emails a day in my volunteer role. People I've not yet met in person are now trusted friends, fellow philanthropic relief workers. Most of our correspondence was through WeChat and social media; we didn't directly use blockchain technology because there were some problems with speed and scale that made WeChat more efficient for our purposes. While the development wasn't yet ready for our mission, blockchain is improving every day, and I'm sure the ongoing global crisis has inspired many developers to build (some of whom now have unprecedented amounts of time to create solutions to blockchain's obstacles).
Blockchain for supply chain, payments
If a situation like this ever recurs, I'm sure the blockchain infrastructure will be ready. Much of my work during this pandemic has been arranging payments across time zones and between previously unacquainted parties. I can't help but think a more robust decentralized financial infrastructure could have made the work easier. For example, countries around the world are distributing one-time or recurring payments to affected citizens, but payment may depend on outdated systems like the American Automated Clearing House (AACH). Some funds will even be disbursed by paper checks. I hear stories of citizens in a number of countries waiting weeks for economic subsidies, and I hope this encourages governments to join the DeFi revolution.

Similarly, DeFi can assist the unbanked in times of crisis like these, if properly adopted. China has the world's largest population, as well as the world's highest number of unbanked people, but most countries face similar obstacles. In the U.S., which looks to be the new epicenter of the pandemic, roughly 25 percent of the population is unbanked or underbanked. My career is building tomorrow's DeFi platforms. I hope that no society ever faces an ordeal like COVID-19 again, but I want to build systems that will enable quick response to any disasters that do occur. Once DeFi is ready – a reality that is fast approaching – will officials adopt the technology and improve economic crisis preparedness?
As the crisis in the Hubei province recedes, I'm still doing volunteer work. The tools my colleagues and I developed could help hospitals in other outbreak centers across the world. What we worked to ship in, we're now beginning to ship out. If my expertise can make someone else's life safer or easier, I feel obligated to help. The people of Huanggang know just how serious this virus is. The blockchain community saw this and coordinated an overwhelming response.
Like millions of others around the world, I will feel relief when I can once again engage face to face with my neighbors, colleagues and others. At the same time, I know I will feel a measure of satisfaction for working in an industry that has helped slow the spread of the coronavirus.
A global crisis of this magnitude requires a collaborative, innovative approach on a large scale. Blockchain technology has the capability to drive forward innovations in helping businesses, hospitals and communities to overcome disruptions. Everyone has a part to play. If you can sew masks, sew masks. If you have spare protective equipment, donate it. If your neighbors are elderly or immunocompromised, volunteer to pick up their groceries. And if there's no reason to go out, stay inside. You'll be doing the world a favor.

"So, what do you want to do with your life?"
Roadtrip Nation started back in 2001, when three college buddies realized they had no clue how to answer that question. So they bought an old beat-up RV, painted it green, and started cruising around the country looking for answers.
The three guys interviewed a bunch of people who found amazing careers doing what they love—everyone from a Supreme Court justice to a Saturday Night Live director. When they got back home, the guys turned those interviews into a documentary, which turned into a book, which turned into the TV show Roadtrip Nation.
Every episode of Roadtrip Nation is packed with inspiring stories from people who created their own path to their dream job. These people have very different interests, but they all have one thing in common: They've figured out that doing something you love is the key to finding a great career.
RTN was back on the road in a green RV and made stops at high schools in Redding, Santa Maria and Riverside. Each stop took place during the high school's lunch period. Representatives from both campaigns spoke with students about CTE course options in high school, multiple career options available after high school and programs available at community colleges in California. Local radio stations and community colleges also came out for these very successful outreach events.

Longest night to span 14 hours
ISLAMABAD: The longest night of the year will span up to 14 hours.
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), the night between December 21 and 22 is the longest night of the year. The sunrise would be at 7:09 am, the met office said.
The met office has said that the shortest day of the year 2022 will be witnessed on December 22 as it will be spanned over 9 hours and 56 minutes.
On December 21, 2022, the winter solstice, the world will also witness the planetary conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. The double-planet spectacle is sighted at the southwestern horizon in the sky.
For six months, the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer in the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth. The winter solstice marks the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere when the sun appears at its most southerly position.
The situation is the reverse in the Southern Hemisphere. There, the December solstice marks the longest day of the year, and the beginning of summer in places such as Argentina, Australia and South Africa.
Because the Earth is tilted on its rotational axis, man experience seasons. As the Earth moves around the sun, each hemisphere experiences winter when it's tilted away from the sun and summer when it's tilted toward the sun.
The difference in hours between day and night at winter solstice remains at some places like Singapore, just 137 kilometres or 85 miles north of the equator, barely noticeable, with just nine fewer minutes of daylight than they have during the summer solstice.
Spain records hottest year ever in 2022
King Khan says his children are 'better' human beings than him


Mr. Ollie Gratz, Junior High Guidance Counselor.
Obligatory on both parts, this solitary, required, 20 minute career counseling session in the second semester of the 8th grade, just prior to "going over to The Big House" for high school.
My eyes went to a shiny, thick, rectangular box on Ollie's desk. I had first glanced at his boots, visible under his desk. Ollie was an Ohio dairy farmer as well as a certified guidance counselor. His boots still bore elements from an apparent tour of his cow barn that morning. In other words, my noticing was not by eyes alone.
This was going to be a great 20 minutes.
It happened so often, that I had carefully crafted answers after about the 12th time of getting frowned upon when I gave my brilliant response of "Uh, geez, I dunno." I mean, it started when I was like 8, and never seemed to get boring for them.
"Well, what?" I replied innocently, with eyes widening just a bit – to show how charmingly innocent my soul truly was, and that I had drifted into a dreamy world of seeing my future famous self.
And there was that frown! The one I had almost come to enjoy.
But he got me. Adults: Sometimes a bit smarter than you think they are.
"Funny, Tony." He grabbed the mysterious box and lifted the thick, glossy sleeve from the box to reveal a container of slick, little four-page pamphlets, made of extra thick paper, I suspect because the manufacturers just knew kids would be gratefully poring over these, reading and re-reading them with eager, sticky, Cheetos-yellowed fingers.
So, you want to be a Dental Technician?
"Dental technician? I hate the dentist!" I practically howled.
"But I bet they all start with 'So,'" I offered.
"Well, what is the first one?" I asked.
Ollie replaced the Dental Technician and thumbed to the front, pulling out the first pamphlet.
"What else you got?" I asked.
I was ushered over to the side table.
"You have 15 minutes left," he glowered.
BAM! the box hit the table, a large farmer's mitt pushing me firmly into the chair.
I look back and think about that: Why was Artist not a choice? Is it EVER a choice with career counselors?
No. 101: So, you want to be an ARTIST?
How would you fill in the following? This could be fun!
But one of my key questions is this: How MANY items of true importance to an artist will be overlooked by limiting information to just these five areas?
P.S. I can tell you one thing for sure: Not mentioned anywhere, even in an updated pamphlet in the box, was large wall art artist, or artists who do tall wall art, or Light Sculptor.

Cables for installation are in the first place designed for longevity and safe transmission, especially for ELA-technology. They can be wired inside buildings over long distances, but also inside audio units (amplifiers, speakers, etc.) or control cabinets. If you have special fire protection requirements, please observe the halogen-free/ PUR and FRNC symbols.
is the SC-SPIRIT XXL. This high end guitar cable is one of the most successful products of the past years and enjoys cult status with guitarists and bassists alike. Because of the excellent price-performance ratio, German and international trade press elected the SC-SPIRIT XXL test champion several times in a row.
The cable is robust and yet flexible, while its smoke-coloured jacket gives it a high recall value.
The shielding is ideal: The braiding is 95 % opaque and provides optical protection of 100 %, for even more safety.
A special lacquering makes the complex foamed polyethylene insulation very endurable and helps protect the excellent transmission properties for years to come.
The wire diameter of 0.75 mm² limits the loss typical for long distance guitar cables. There is hardly a guitar cable at a length of 10 m that sounds as good as the SC-SPIRIT XXL.
Our customers consider the sound of the SC-SPIRIT XXL to be crystal-clear, clean and very neutral. It reproduces the impulsiveness of bass attacks exquisitely.
Caution: The black carbon shield between the braided shielding and the insulation is highly conductive. It must be removed before soldering to avoid short circuiting!

Q: Concat two audio files via ffmpeg filter_complex If I try to concat two mp4 video files via -filter_complex using command:
ffmpeg -i a.mp4 -i b.mp4 -filter_complex \
"[0:1] [0:0] [1:1] [1:0] concat=n=2:v=1:a=1 [v] [a]" \
-map [v] -map [a] -y testfull.mp4

It works fine but if I try similar with audio files like:
ffmpeg -i a.mp3 -i b.mp3 -filter_complex \
"[0:1] [0:0] [1:1] [1:0] concat=n=2:a=1 [a]" \
-map [a] -y testfull.mp3

Error arises:
Input #1, mp3, from 'b.mp3':   Metadata:
    major_brand     : mp42
    minor_version   : 0
    compatible_brands: isomavc1mp42
    creation_time   : 2010-12-13 21:15:11
    encoder         : Lavf53.4.0   Duration: 00:02:01.61, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 64 kb/s
    Stream #1:0: Audio: mp3, 8000 Hz, stereo, s16p, 64 kb/s
Stream specifier ':1' in filtergraph description [0:1] [0:0] [1:1] [1:0] concat= n=2:a=1 [a] matches no streams.

If I modify -filter_complex argument and run command as:
ffmpeg -i a.mp3 -i b.mp3 -filter_complex \
"concat=n=2:a=1 [a]" -map [a] -y testfull.mp3

The following error arises
Input #1, mp3, from 'b.mp3':   Metadata:
    major_brand     : mp42
    minor_version   : 0
    compatible_brands: isomavc1mp42

    Stream #1:0: Audio: mp3, 8000 Hz, stereo, s16p, 64 kb/s
Cannot find a matching stream for unlabeled input pad 0 on filter Parsed_concat_ 0

Can anyone help me how can I join two audio files via latest ffmpeg builds possibly with -filter_complex.

Update: Ok, resolved my issue with this ffmpeg command:
ffmpeg -i "concat:a.mp3|b.mp3" -c copy output.mp3

A: you have to tell the concat filter that there will be no video: v=0 and you don't need to address video stream [0:0] [1:0] either, so the command would be like:
ffmpeg -i a.mp3 -i b.mp3 -filter_complex \
"[0:a] [1:a] concat=n=2:v=0:a=1 [a]" \
-map [a] -c:a mp3 testfull.mp3

A: Just to make things clear [0:1] [0:0] [1:1] [1:0] refers to the streams from the 2 files.
In your case:
[0:1] is video from first file
[0:0] is audio from first file
[1:1] is video from second file
[1:0] is audio from second file

In the case of mp3 files video streams do not exist. So you should drop the video stream references in the command.
In case of your last command that works- yes that is a valid solution for mp3 files.

A: n is the number of STREAM SEGMENTS, NOT INPUT FILES
from the concat docs

The filter works on segments of synchronized video and audio streams. All segments must have the same number of streams of each type, and that will also be the number of streams at output.
The filter accepts the following options:
n  -  Set the number of segments. Default is 2.

I have been battling this the past few days and have been reading this question and its responses over and over. i was merging a PNG sequence (input 0) with a WAV file (input 1)  and kept getting the same error

Cannot find a matching stream for unlabeled input pad 0 on filter Parsed_concat_ 0

After upteen trials and fails, i fell upon n=1 (ie one desired output stream) with  v=1:a=1  ... ie  one video and one audio input stream.. aka concat ONE SEGMENT comprised of a video from input 0 and audio from input 1 and tada it worked just fine.
full cmdline

ffmpeg -i '/var/tmp/input.%04d.png -i '/var/tmp/input.wav' -filter_complex '[0:v:0] [1:a:0] concat=n=1:v=1:a=1 [vout] [aout]' -map '[vout]' -map '[aout]' -vcodec 'mjpeg' '/var/tmp/output.mov'

A: You have to mix the audio streams:
ffmpeg -i 1.mp4 -i 1.3gp -i 2.3gp -i 1.mp3
  -filter_complex "[2]adelay=10000|10000[s2];[3:a][1:a][s2]amix=3[a]"
  -map 0:v -map "[a]" -c:v copy result.mp4

When Does The Age of Aquarius Begin?
Astronomers and astrologers may agree that the Age of Aquarius starts when the vernal equinox point moves out of constellation Pisces and into Aquarius. But when will that be? There's no definitive answer.
When does the Age of Aquarius begin? And what is the Age of Aquarius? The Age of Aquarius is not part of astronomy. It's an astrological age, which occurs because of a real motion of Earth known as the precession of the equinoxes, which, for example, causes the identity of the Pole Star to change over time. The cycle of precession lasts 25,800 years, and there are 12 constellations of the Zodiac. So, roughly every 2,150 years, the sun's position at the time of the March, or vernal, equinox moves in front of a new zodiac constellation. The Age of Aquarius begins when the March equinox point moves out of the constellation Pisces and into the constellation Aquarius. When will that be? There's no definitive answer. Various interpretations give different answers to this often-asked question.
Age of Aquarius from astronomical perspective. First of all, we give the answer from an astronomical point of view. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) – which in the 20th century assumed the duty of officially naming and defining all things astronomical – created official constellation boundaries in 1930. From the perspective of astronomy, then, the beginning of the Age of Aquarius is based upon IAU constellation boundaries, which astrologers or New Age practitioners might or might not choose to use in their computations.
According to the Belgian astronomer and mathematical wizard Jean Meeus (bio here), who does adhere to the IAU's definitions, the sun at the March equinox passed from being in front of the constellation Aries to being in front of the constellation Pisces in 68 B.C. Looking ahead, again according to Jean Meeus, the March equinox will cross over into the constellation Aquarius in 2597. Once again, these are the astronomical dates, based on IAU constellation boundaries established in 1930.
Other interpretations for the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. The constellations as defined by the IAU are different sizes. Astrologers often like to divide the zodiac into twelve equal sections. For example, the constellation Pisces – as defined by the IAU – spans more than 30 degrees along the ecliptic, or sun's annual path in front of constellations of the Zodiac.
Astrologers, though, might disregard the span of the constellation Pisces on the sky's dome, and instead, regard an astrological age as a precise 30-degree shift of the March equinox in front of the backdrop stars.
But even if you equalize the size of the signs of the Zodiac, you need to consider when the Age of Pisces started to be able to know when the Age of Aquarius begins. Apparently, there's no firm consensus among astrologers as to when the Age of Pisces began, either. And thus there is no consensus as to when the Age of Aquarius begins. In The Book of World Horoscopes, Nicholas Campion suggests that approximated dates for entering the Age of Aquarius range from 1447 A.D. to 3597 A.D. Campion also reviewed published material on the subject from astrological sources. He says that most writers claim the Age of Aquarius arrived in the 20th century (29 claims). The 24th century is in second place (12 claims). Campion, by the way, is director of the Sophia Centre and Course Director of the M.A. in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology at the University of Wales, Lampeter. See Campion's credentials here.
Some astrologers say the Age of Aquarius actually began in 2012.
Some astrologers say the Age of Aquarius actually began in 2012. That's because they believe the star Regulus in the constellation Leo the Lion marked the ancient border between the constellations Leo and Cancer. This star moved to within 30 degrees of the September equinox point in 2012, meaning that Regulus left the sign Leo to enter the sign Virgo in that year. Presuming equal-sized constellations in antiquity, that places the border of the constellations Pisces and Aquarius at 150 degrees west of Regulus, or at the March equinox point. By this reckoning, the Age of Aquarius started in 2012.
But again, although there is firm reckoning by many for the beginning of this astrological age, there is no agreement. Wikipedia lists what various writers have claimed.
To reiterate, we at EarthSky look at the subject from an astronomical perspective. If any knowledgeable astrologers out there would like to show us other ways of determining the Age of Aquarius, please do! We welcome your comments.
Terry MacKinnell responded to our above request, claiming that in ancient Babylon a new zodiacal constellation rising over the eastern horizon before sunrise on the morning of the Northern Hemisphere spring equinox indicated the arrival of a new age. Read more at An Age Old Mistake That Still Haunts Astrologers.
Definition of terms: March (or spring or vernal) equinox point. This is the point on the imaginary celestial sphere surrounding Earth at which the ecliptic – or path of the sun across our sky – intersects the celestial equator, or line around the sky directly above Earth's equator. It's sometimes called the First Point in Aries, because the sun used to be located in front of the constellation Aries at the time of the vernal equinox. For the past two thousand years, though, the sun has been located in front of the constellation Pisces at the time of this equinox. That's the significance of the so-called Piscean Age. At some point, the sun at the equinox will be in front of Aquarius. That's when the Age of Aquarius begins.
How did the Age of Aquarius enter popular culture? The Age of Aquarius in the U.S. is associated with the hippies of the 1960s and '70s, and now with the New Age movement. In both cases, the arrival of the Aquarian age has been associated with … well, harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding. And that brings us to the 1967 smash-hit musical Hair, with its opening song Aquarius, by a musical group called the 5th Dimension. The song opened with the lines:
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
It's hard to describe how Hair, which seems daring even today, affected people when it opened on Broadway in 1968. It subsequently ran for 1,750 performances on Broadway and 1,997 performances in London, with simultaneous productions in cities across the United States and Europe, and with accompanying recordings (the original Broadway cast recording sold three million copies). Almost single-handedly in the late 1960s and early 1970s, this Broadway musical brought the Aquarian Age concept into the popular culture. The video below isn't the original, but you'll get the idea.

The NBD has the potential to reshape the world of development finance
May 27, 2019 /0 Comments/in Brazil, Business, China, Economics, India, Russia, South Africa /by brics_admin

Prof. Vazquez is the Assistant Dean for Global Engagement, Executive Director, Center for African, Latin American and Caribbean Studies at School of International Affairs, O.P Jindal Global University.
The NDB has been in operation for less than four years, however, it has thus far received an AA+ rating international credit rating and built a portfolio of 35 projects worth USD 9.2 billion – nearly half the World Bank's lending in 2018, reports the Financial Express.

Brazil to move the hosting of F1 Grand Prix from São Paulo to Rio
May 10, 2019 /0 Comments/in Brazil /by brics_admin
The Brazilian leg of the F1 Grand Prix next year will be moved from its traditional home in São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro. The move comes as the race track Autódromo José Carlos Pace in São Paulo will be rebuilt taking six to seven months to complete costing.
This departure from São Paulo to Rio ends a thirty-year streak of that race track has held dating back to 1981. The announcement of the change was made by Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro at a military ceremony in the city.
The cost of organizing the F1 event has created huge debts requiring Rio to take on the challenges until the race track is completed. President Bolsonaro also announced a new race track to be built at the Deodoro military based west of the city.

by Stuart Wilde
from StuartWilde Website
David Icke has just been made victim of a hatchet job, that appeared in the Daily Mail in London.
They were questioning his success and alluding to his supposedly vast cash flow.
If you take Internet traffic ** as a measure of popularity, David Icke is number one in the world, way bigger than Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer and Stuie Wilde, who is really quite titchy compared to Icke.
** If you go to alexa.com and enter a web name, it tells you the ranking of that site. The lower the number, the nearer the site is in traffic volume to the biggest site in the world, which is Google.
David's Icke ranking is 6,600+, Tony Robbins 14,000+, Chopra's 63,000+, Eckhart Tolle 203,000+ and Stuie Wilde is at 186,000+, to give a few examples.
I spent three days talking to David and his ex wife, that was five years ago. He's the least commercial person of all the main teachers, he has no interest in money, he's much like most of us, we just want to get our message out.
The Daily Mail article was very slanted and biased. They ridiculed the heck out of David, and they didn't bother to interview him or get a quote about his views. They made no mention of his main themes; the power of the Illuminati and the Zionists, and the global elite, to impoverish people and destroyed their lives.
They poured scorn on his theory of humans, that morph into reptiles. But journalists can't "See" the Aluna world, so the existence of human reptiles seems loopy to them.
The arrogance of ignorance is always disturbing to me.
Human reptiles is a fact
The global elite's involvement in pedophilia and black magic is a fact
The Catholics Church's involvement in black magic is a fact
The power of the Zionists is fact,
David in not lying, and then he does makes claims about sexual deviation in high places, that he does not substantiate. So that leaves him open to hits from twits, like the Daily Mail.
I saw a woman in Brazil go through a transformation. She developed a snout and a zigzag spine and she changed from human to reptile, over a period of a couple of minutes. I've seen that reptilian transformation several times since. It's a fact. David Icke is Right.
And I've spent 10,000 hours, over the last eleven years, going into the hell worlds, using the trance state. I consider myself an expert on those worlds. Six seconds after I close my eyes, I can see those worlds. It's like watching a TV screen.
Humans have a Mirror-World double, which is their spiritual identity. That double is in hell or in the celestial worlds, while they are still alive. You don't go to heaven or hell after you die, your Mirror Self double is already there, right now, in one or more of the myriad of possible dimensions.
That is a fact, trust me on that one. I've seen it every day, for several hours a day, over a period of 4000 days.
I've seen thousands of the global elite in the hell world's:
religious people
famous musicians and actors
And I've also seen ordinary people there, some I know personally and others I see in hell that I don't know. They are just crowds of souls that are in hell, while still alive, wandering about here on earth, pretending to be normal.
David Icke is doing a brilliant job and then I can't vouch for everything he says about the reptiles, but his basic theory of the reptile-human transformation, is 100% accurate.
And I'd like to add something, that he may or may not know, which I know, because I can see the reptilian humans when walking down the street; (they give off a signal that's easy to spot - and a rotting swamp smell. I can't go into it here in detail - it's the Devil sweat). There are billions of reptile humans on earth.
Every,
violent people
black magicians
power trippers, etc,
...all belong to the same ghastly clan.
Earth is the dimension of the reptiles and our political, financial and religious power structures are controlled by them. Armageddon is the fight to break that control and bring the systems down, to liberate people from a secret, hidden nastiness that they could well do without.
And if David Icke gets 60,000 Internet visitors a day, and if he has 5,600 people at the Wembley Arena, that's good for humanity. They need to know the truth of things, so they can stand up and resist and peacefully reclaim their power. (www.stuartwilde.com)

Illinois Truck Accident Insurance Coverage Will Be Decided On By Illinois Supreme Court
In September 2008, a Illinois First District Appellate Court decision ordered Zurich American Insurance Company to cover a Illinois wrongful-death lawsuit against its insured Key Cartage and Terry Washington. Zurich American Insurance Co. v. Key Cartage, 2008 WL 4445122 (1st Dist., Sept. 30). The Illinois Supreme Court has agreed to hear this appeal in the case where Rose Services, an affiliate of Key Cartage, had leased the truck from Franklin Truck Group to haul waste.
It had been argued that Zurich should be obligated to provide co-primary insurance coverage because it issued a trucker's insurance policy to Rose Services. Zurich argued that coverage was barred because a reciprocal coverage provision in its policy meant that unless it provided coverage to Franklin, Zurich was not obligated to provide coverage to Key.
The Illinois Appellate Court ruling, an issue of first impression, held that Zurich was required to provide omnibus coverage, which would extend the policy to any permissive driver of the truck. In their opinion the appellate court held that "[a]s a matter of public safety, Illinois public policy warrants mandatory omnibus coverage for commercial truckers that should not be limited by private agreement."
Kreisman Law Offices has been practicing Illinois personal injury law and trucking accident cases for over 30 years, serving Cook County and its areas including Evanston, Melrose Park, Chicago Heights, and Evergreen Park.

A Week in Review - July 17th, 2015
July 17, 2015 / Keith Coniglio
The federal government wants to track children of military and DoD personnel, according to a homeschooling advocacy group: "A few weeks ago, an amendment was quietly placed in the House of Representative's 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) H.R. 1735. This amendment added a new Section 574, which authorizes the DOD to conduct a feasibility study on tracking children of military personnel and civilian DOD employees by whether they attend a private school, public school, or homeschool. This language was not included in the Senate's version of the NDAA."
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is extorting over $1M for "VIP agents" attending the annual Burning Man festival. The festival, held in the Nevada Desert since 1991, has jumped through an ever-increasing list of regulatory hoops to satisfy the BLM over the years, literally building a city just for the week-long event, and gradually banning guns, dogs, driving, and fireworks. Now, however, the BLM is refusing to issue the event a permit to use public land unless organizers pay more than $1 million to provide agents with an air-conditioned compound with couches and hot water, flush toilets, and - not kidding - 24-hour access to soft-serve ice cream.
An artist has developed a downloadable font to show you just how "suspicious" you look to the government. It recognizes trigger words - now numbering over 40,000 - that would mark your communication for further scrutiny by an intelligence agency and visibly flags them. Try it - and be horrified at just how much you "have to hide" after all.
The NYPD is, by policy, shredding evidence in a lawsuit against them, over the issuance of legally insupportable summonses just to meet quotas. The attorney suing the police force states, "Police Lt. Stevelle Brown... has destroyed text messages in which he denied a cop time off for failing to meet goals for traffic summonses, Sutton charges. She also points to an exchange from an officer identified only as Sgt. Carty, who sternly admonished a cop for failing to issue enough seatbelt summonses.... Sutton has introduced emails from Capt. Andrew Benjamin... 'This has to stop it is ridiculous to have 50 + hours with only one arrest,' Benjamin wrote."
90% percent of people found in a cache of NSA intercepts were not the intended surveillance targets but were caught in a net the agency had cast for somebody else. The data collected from these non-targets was intensely personal, and even included the IP addresses of people merely "lurking," or reading without posting, in the same online forums as an intended target.
Two members of a ranching family were convicted under the "Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996" for setting controlled burns - with the BLM's clearance, since it would have eradicated an invasive weed species - that spread to federal land, consuming 139 acres in 2001 and 1 acre in 2006. They were sentenced to three months and a year and a day, respectively, both losing their Second Amendment protections and the father being stripped of his pilot's license. Now, despite the fact that they have served their terms, the federal government wants them resentenced to an additional minimum of five years because that was the minimum outlined by the Act. Further, the BLM has filed a civil suit, with an offer to settle for $400,000 in damages. However, they refuse to issue the grazing permits which would allow the cattle operation to generate sufficient income, and the settlement agreement states that BLM has the first right to purchase any of the ranch land sold to pay the bill.
The Senate Judiciary Committee submitted a measure that would require social media to report "posts or other user content related to 'explosives, destructive devices, and weapons of mass destruction' or other things that could indicate 'actual knowledge of terrorist activity.'" Twitter has not taken a position on the legislation, Facebook applauded the proposal, and critics contend that the measure could catch huge numbers on non-terrorists in the U.S. surveillance dragnet. Writer Kristen Anderson noted, "What is a threat anyway? Is someone who opposes Obamacare a threat? What if they are planning a large demonstration that will interrupt D.C. traffic? What if they are organizing a strike that would cut off healthcare to hundreds of thousands of people?'"
Documents obtains by Judicial Watch under the Freedom of Information Act show that Lois Lerner met with attorneys from (and the chief of) the Public Integrity Section of the Justice Department's Criminal Division and a representative from the FBI in 2010 to discuss "the possibility of 'a three-way partnership among the DOJ [Department of Justice], the FEC [Federal Election Commission], and the IRS' to 'prevent prohibited activity by these [conservative] organizations." The IRS transmitted 21 disks containing 1.25 million pages of highly confidential tax information to the FBI.... The House Committee of Oversight and Government Reform was 'astonished to learn…that these 21 disks contained confidential taxpayer information protected by federal law' that could not lawfully be turned over to the FBI without meeting very specific requirements which were unmet.
