Audyssey MultEQ-X Brings New Room Equalization Capabilities to Home Theater and Audio Enthusiasts
Jeremy Glowacki
Audyssey has released MultEQ-X, a new software application for calibrating many home theater audio/video receivers (AVRs) that have Audyssey's MultEQ room equalization technology built-in. MultEQ-X brings users greater control over calibration parameters, more detailed information about their room acoustics, and a variety of other key features.
The new software provides measurement with detailed frequency responses for individual channels for easy room tuning. It also adds subwoofer-level adjustment with slow and super-slow time rates.
An advanced target curve designer with new "Cutoff Mode" control is also included, as well as complete control over target sound for every channel and every preset. In addition, manual override of all automatically detected parameters is available.
Audyssey first launched MultEQ in 2004, providing precision equalization to a broad set of AVRs from several manufacturers. Today, MultEQ-X software works as an add-on to the MultEQ system already embedded in many AVRs.
The new software platform from Audyssey was built from the ground up to serve the needs and interests of both professional installers and the most passionate AV enthusiasts. Users get complete control over their target sound response, with the ability to customize the frequency range and tonal balance of each individual speaker in the system.
More than a sleek interface to the built-in MultEQ technology, MultEQ-X decouples the delivery of technology from the delivery of hardware. This new app-based platform ensures that MultEQ-X users will be the first to experience many of the improvements and advancements to the MultEQ suite of software/firmware room correction tools that are currently under development.
At launch, MultEQ-X supports all Denon and Marantz AVRs that are compatible with the "Audyssey MultEQ Editor" mobile application (available on iOS and Android). Rather than replacing the mobile application, MultEQ-X is a more advanced system for users who desire greater control and a more immersive user experience that is still best served by the larger screen and more powerful processor of a desktop or laptop computer.
Supported systems run a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 10, with the October 2018 Update or later installed (version 1809 / Build 17763). This includes the newly released Windows 11. Support for more systems will be available in the future.
The download of MultEQ-X includes a virtual demonstration AVR to showcase the features and settings available to the user. To calibrate an AVR, a license must be acquired through an in-app purchase of $199.99, which entitles the user to calibrate a single AVR for the lifetime of the AVR. Licenses are per-user and per-AVR-serial-number and are non-transferrable.
Audyssey MultEQ-X is available for download now at the Microsoft Store.

As the NBA playoffs approach, a Warriors-Cavs Finals looks less certain
Image of LeBron James via Flickr
While Golden State and Cleveland are the favorites, new blood adds spice to the NBA playoffs.
by Larry Lambert
April 12, 2018 at 3:25 PM April 12, 2018 at 3:25 PM
Like many NBA fans, I pretty much snoozed through the NBA regular season and figured I'd wait until the NBA Finals to wake up and watch the Golden State Warriors play the Cleveland Cavaliers for the championship. My plans have changed, however. Some interesting developments have taken place that lessen the chances of a Warriors/Cavs meeting in the Finals. That would still be my first choice for an NBA Finals match-up, but that's now far from certain.
Like other dinosaurs, the Raptors will be extinct
The Toronto Raptors had the best regular season record in the NBA Eastern Conference, but I doubt their guard-driven offense will get them beyond the second round of the playoffs.
The Boston Celtics had a real shot at getting to the Finals before a knee injury shut down Kyrie Irving. Boston will have their hands full getting past the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round.
Who knew 'The Process' was so long?
The most interesting team in the playoffs this season is the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers come into the playoffs riding a 16-game winning streak. The most recognizable names on the Sixers' roster are Ben Simmons, Joel Embidd and JJ Reddick. Embiid is recovering from a broken facial bone and likely won't be ready for the 76ers' first game against Miami. There is no timetable for his return, but with or without Embiid, the Sixers look to have enough to get past the Miami Heat.
A playoff series win could give them confidence and make them a tough opponent in a second-round match-up against the Cavs. Also, the playoffs can be a coming out party for a host of relatively unknown 76ers.
Some things go according to plan
Out west, it was nice to see the Minnesota Timberwolves make the playoffs after a 14 year drought.
Jimmy Butler and Karl-Anthony Towns make a nice foundation, but the Houston Rockets, led by possible MVP James Harden, figure to be too much for the Wolves.
The San Antonio Spurs, have been depleted by the loss of Kawhi Leonard and are outmatched by the Steph Curry-less Golden State Warriors.
To me, the most interesting team in the West is the New Orleans Pelicans.
Anthony Davis is probably the least appreciated superstar in the game. If Boogie Cousins did not go down with an Achilles injury, this team would be even more fun to watch. The Pelicans have three ex-Bulls contributing for them. Rajon Rondon is doing an excellent job at point guard and Nikola Mirotic and E'Twaun Moore have combined to average 28 points per game for the Pelicans. I look for the Pelicans to take out the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round of the playoffs.
In a noisy series, Thunder drown out the Jazz
If there is a more generic team in the NBA than the Utah Jazz, I can't think of any. The fact that they nailed down the fifth seed in the Western Conference behind rookie, Donovan Mitchell is a remarkable achievement. Still, I think Russell Westbrook leads the Thunder past the Jazz by force of will. Regardless of what happens in the playoffs, it will be refreshing to watch NBA games where both teams want to win.

i am here to share a card i made for crafters corner blog .I had a totally different thing in my mind while starting,it dint work well and then i tried another idea and again it dint end up as i thought and finally i tried a regular embossing resist technique and realized nothing new in it.Finally i combined all 3 ideas and made this card,its one of rare moment where you start with something in mind and end up with totally something different..but who cares,crafting is always fun when experimenting and yeah the result will be totally surprising.
I have cut the embossed-inked background paper into 1 inch squares,placed them on a white background paper and made a tile pattern.The heart is made with crackle technique where first you have to stamp the design and then apply embossing ink all over apply embossing powder and heat it.Repeat this 3-4 times and keep it in the freezer for 5 mins and take it out and just fold it in different different direction,it gives a beautiful crackled effect.The butterfly is heat embossed on vellum.
lovely card.great idea of using the tiled pattern.Looks great.
Oh Kavi this is just beautiful! Beautiful colors - the light citric shades contrasted against that black... You're really very talented!

Jed Lowrie loves the feeling of coming through with a clutch hit late to lift his team Margus Hunt Jersey , and he just keeps showing a knack for it.
He is a big reason the A's are rarely out of games even when down by a couple of runs.
The Oakland second baseman delivered his 12th game-winning RBI after filling in beautifully at third base during Matt Chapman's absence, hitting a three-run double in the decisive sixth to help rally the Athletics past the San Diego Padres 6-2 on Tuesday night.
If that's not enough to make Lowrie an All-Star for the first time in an 11-year career and at age 34, manager Bob Melvin might just throw his hands up in disbelief.
"It would be the icing on the cake. I feel like I've been close a couple times and haven't been there," Lowrie said. "So that would be something I would always be able to say."
Mark Canha added a solo homer in the sixth and Chad Pinder connected in the seventh.
The A's finally got to San Diego starter Clayton Richard (7-8). Pinder walked to start the sixth as the first five hitters reached base. Khris Davis followed Lowrie's double with a run-scoring single before Canha's 11th home run, after a double play.
Emilio Pagan (2-0) pitched 1 1/3 innings for the win in relief of A's starter Chris Bassitt.
Chapman went 0 for 3 in his return from the disabled list after missing 16 games with a recurring right hand injury that began bothering him during the offseason. He had played in 149 straight games before the DL stint.
Wil Myers hit a run-scoring double in the fifth right after Eric Hosmer's RBI groundout got the Padres on the board.
Bassitt, who has just one win in five starts since being called up last month, escaped jams in the first and third innings as the Padres stranded five baserunners. The A's made a pair of forceouts at home in the third, including first baseman Matt Olson's nifty throw after a backhanded stop.
Myers' double chased Bassitt. He was tagged for two runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings, struck out six and walked three.
Richard allowed five runs and six hits, walked a season-high five batters over six innings and struck out two in his second straight defeat.
"Defense picked me up early in the game but that's the story of it was just too many three-ball counts and then put too many guys on with the walk," Richard said.
Oakland, which had its six-game winning streak snapped Sunday by Cleveland, won for the 13th time in 16 games despite grounding into five double plays.
"As much as any team I've ever had, at least at this point, there's no panic when we're down," the skipper said.
Leadoff hitter Travis Jankowski had three hits for San Diego, which will conclude the short two-game series Wednesday having played 23 of its last 28 away from Petco Park.
BIG MAC HONORED
Padres bench coach Mark McGwire Al Woods Jersey , a former A's slugger who spent his first 11 1/2 big league seasons in the East Bay before being traded to the Cardinals in 1997, was honored before the game as part of Oakland's 50th anniversary season festivities in a ceremony at home plate with team President Dave Kaval. Big Mac received his green No. 25 commemorative A's jersey and the Bash Brother tipped his cap to the cheering crowd.
Padres: RHP Jordan Lyles, scratched in the bottom of the first inning June 23 just before his scheduled start and on the DL with inflammation in his pitching elbow, played catch with the relievers and depending how he felt afterward the Padres would decide when he is ready to throw off a mound. … The Padres placed RHP Kirby Yates on the paternity list and recalled RHP Colten Brewer from Triple-A El Paso.
Athletics: RHP Trevor Cahill, who has an impingement in his throwing elbow, pitched in the Arizona League and is likely to make another rehab appearance Sunday or Monday before potentially joining the A's in Houston early next week. … RHP Daniel Mengden (sprained right foot) threw a bullpen session and if all was OK by Wednesday the A's planned to send him to Triple-A Nashville for a rehab assignment. … Oakland optioned INF Franklin Barreto to Nashville to clear roster room for Chapman's return.
Padres: RHP Luis Perdomo (1-2, 8.36 ERA), a taxi squad player, will be called up Wednesday to make his fifth start of 2018.
Athletics: LHP Sean Manaea (8-6, 3.38) is coming off a masterful June during which he went 3-0 with a 2.84 ERA in five starts.
Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera, former Tennessee Titans coach Mike Mularkey, and Atlanta Falcons receiver Andre Roberts are the finalists for the NFL's Salute to Service Award.
The recipient of the award, presented by USAA, will be revealed at the NFL Honors show on Feb. 3, when The Associated Press announces its individual NFL awards.
Roberts, Rivera and Mularkey were selected for their exceptional efforts to honor and support members of the military community. USAA, which provides insurance and other services to U.S. military members Erik Swoope Jersey , veterans and their families, will contribute $25,000 in the award recipient's honor to the official aid societies representing all five military branches.
"Each having grown up in a military family, all three finalists for the `Salute to Service Award' … share a common understanding of the sacrifices that our service members and their families face in their daily lives," said Vice Admiral (Ret.) John Bird, USAA Senior Vice President of Military Affairs. "We thank and salute Andre and coaches Rivera and Mularkey for their continued strong commitment to America's military community."
Last October, all 32 NFL teams nominated coaches, active and retired players, and team executives and personnel who best demonstrated support for the military. Those submissions were evaluated by a panel of judges that included last year's award recipient, Falcons coach Dan Quinn.
Also on the panel were Bird; Rocky Bleier, a U.S. Army veteran and four-time Super Bowl champion; Chad Hennings, an Air Force Academy graduate and three-time Super Bowl champion; Tod Leiweke, NFL chief operating officer; Jim Mora, a Marine Corps veteran and former NFL head coach; and Roger Staubach, a Naval Academy graduate, Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback and Super Bowl MVP.

Media Digest 22/3/15
Nine British-born medics are feared to have travelled to Syria to work in areas controlled by Islamic State (IS) militants. The nine, which includes both medical students and doctors, had been studying medicine in Sudan, and are believed to have travelled into Syria via Turkey over a week ago. Some of the medics' families have travelled to the Turkish-Syrian border. Meanwhile, a third attacker from Wednesday's killings at Tunis' Bardo Museum is still on the run from authorities, Tunisia's President Essebsi has said.
A Conservative Party election candidate has been suspended for plotting with the right-wing English Defence League (EDL) group in an attempt to win votes. Afzal Amin, Conservative Party candidate for the Dudley North constituency, is expected to be expelled from the party within days. According to video evidence, the alleged plot would have involved Amin taking credit for the calling off of an EDL protest against a planned mosque in the area. Amin had in return pledged to serve as an "ally" of the EDL in parliament. Amin has been urged by fellow party members to confess and resign immediately should the allegations be true.
Climate change could have a huge impact in China, the country's top weather scientist has warned. In an interview with China's state-run Xinhua news agency, Zheng Guogang, head of China's meteorological administration, said that temperature rises in China were higher than the global average. Climate change could damage crop yields and cause droughts, storms and pose a serious threat to infrastructure projects, Zheng warned. Observers have noted the unusually frank nature of Zheng's admission.
Terrorism stories make a few headlines today. The Observer leads with news that nine British-born medics have travelled to Syria "to work in hospitals" for Islamic extremist group the Islamic State (IS). Families of the nine have reportedly travelled to Turkey's border with Syria to "plead" for their return. The Sunday Telegraph leads with news that police have targeted "six key IRA suspects" wanted for past crimes, suggesting that the men could be prosecuted despite the amnesty deal agreed during the Northern Ireland peace process. The Independent on Sunday leads with news that "'Bed-blockers' cost the NHS £287 million". Thousands of elderly patients end up "stuck in hospital" as social services struggle to look after them in their own homes, the paper writes. The Sunday Times leads with news that the Conservative Party plans to "revive Thatcher's right-to-buy" scheme for social housing tenants. The paper writes that the party hopes to win working-class votes from the decision.
On the cyber-attack against Greatfire.org: China-focused anti-censorship website Greatfire.org received coverage from the BBC and The Guardian after it reported that its mirror websites were victims of a massive cyber-attack. The BBC reports Greatfire as acknowledging that the attack "coincided with pressure from Chinese authorities". The Guardian's agency piece notes that the excess traffic created by the distributed denial of service cyber-attack is costing Greatfire "up to $30,000 per day in bandwidth".

What Political Implications Could Have been Drawn from The Pit and the Pendulum?
Politicians (pen and ink Goya)
First I must say that for those bigoted, unimaginative, narrow-minded, literalistic souls who want to think only in terms of specific "facts" about politics I must say,
"This blog is not the place for you."
I think it should have been obvious, however, that in posting this famously evocative tale of gruesome horror at its most extreme in this context the following parallels could easily be drawn:
The "Narrator-Victim" represents the American Public,
The "Dungeon" and the "Pit" represent Washington, DC,
The "Pendulum" the Obama Administration,
The "RATS" the Republican Establishment.
The question that should interest most the reading public, would be 'Who or What is the "Liberating Force" that rides in at the end and rescues the "Victim?"'
The Voting Public (pen and ink Goya)
Always On Watch January 5, 2015 at 7:27 AM
Glad that you put this front and center, FT.
'Who or What is the "Liberating Force" that rides in at the end and rescues the "Victim?"'
Faith, with the repudiation of the 21st Century popular culture.
We are in dire need of a moral compass!
FreeThinke January 5, 2015 at 9:01 AM
Though not the one I had in mind, that is a good answer, AOW.
-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew January 5, 2015 at 7:28 AM
In Goya's greatest scenes we seem to see
the people of the world
exactly at the moment when
they first attained the title of
'suffering humanity'
They writhe upon the page
in a veritable rage
of adversity
Heaped up
groaning with babies and bayonets
under cement skies
in an abstract landscape of blasted trees
bent statues bats wings and beaks
slippery gibbets
cadavers and carnivorous cocks
and all the final hollering monsters
'imagination of disaster'
they are so bloody real
it is as if they really still existed
And they do
Only the landscape is changed
They still are ranged along the roads
plagued by legionnaires
false windmills and demented roosters
They are the same people
only further from home
on freeways fifty lanes wide
on a concrete continent
spaced with bland billboards
illustrating imbecile illusions of happiness
The scene shows fewer tumbrils
but more strung-out citizens
in painted cars
and they have strange license plates
and engines
that devour America
- Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Ferlinghetti is a leftist, activist, antagonist, categorical hater of America and the West. It's no wonder his writing is bilious, since his parents -- especially his mother were of unfortunate origin.
Ferlinghetti is more Ducky's sort of poet than mine.
W.H. Auden makes the same point, but with more wit, less rancor, and much better humor.
As it is, plenty;
As it's admitted
The children happy
And the car, the car
That goes so far
And the wife devoted:
To this as it is,
To the work and the banks
Let his thinning hair
And his hauteur
Give thanks, give thanks.
All that was thought
As like as not, is not
When nothing was enough
But love, but love
And the rough future
Of an intransigent nature
And the betraying smile,
Betraying, but a smile:
That that is not, is not;
Forget, forget.
Let him not cease to praise
Then his spacious days;
Yes, and the success
Let him bless, let him bless:
Let him see in this
The profits larger
And the sins venal,
Lest he see as it is
The loss as major
And final, final.
~ Music by Benjamin BRITTEN (1913-1976)

Auden was a commie prick of the same ilk.
Please don't antagonize me. ;-) Art, when it is true, transcends politics. When art becomes didactic, or polemical, it ceases to be art.
At any rate, we are all entitled to our preferences. Yes Ferlinghetti was a poet and not merely a polemicist, but I don't like his bitter, contemptuous tone.
The song cycle On This Island -- a collaboration between the poet W.H. Auden and the celebrated composer Benjamin Britten -- is a great masterwork of the twentieth century. It evokes a kaleidoscope of moods, tines, images, and points of view from the proudly chauvinistic, through the idyllic, the deeply affective and empathetic ending with the comically derisive.
I've had the great pleasure of performing the accompaniments with several singers, and still find the work an inexhaustible treasure.

But he could produce, FT.
memory of marie a - bertolt brecht
One day in blue-moon September,
Silent under a plum tree,
I held her, my silent pale love
in my arms like a fair and lovely dream.
Above us in the summer skies,
Was a cloud that caught my eye.
It was so white and high up,
and when I looked up, it was no longer there.
And since that moment, many a September
Came sailing in, then floated down the stream.
No doubt the plum trees were cut down for timber
And if you ask what happened to my dream
I shall reply: I cannot now remember
Though what you have in mind I surely know.
And yet her face: I really don't recall it.
I just recall I kissed long ago.
Even the kiss would have been long forgotten
If that white cloud had not been in the sky.
I know the cloud, and shall know it forever,
It was pure white and, oh, so very high.
Perhaps the plum trees still are there and blooming.
Perhaps that woman has six children too.
But that white cloud bloomed only for a moment:
When I looked up, it vanished in the blue.
Even in translation that is beautiful, Ducky. Was it the girl who affected him so, or was it his youthful image of the girl symbolized by that perfect white cloud?
I suspect most of us may be more in love with the fond illusions we cherished in youth than with the realities we were forced to confront at any stage of existence.
Long ago a cynical teaching colleague of mine said, "Happiness is the remembrance of past pain."
I've always hoped he was wrong, but I see what he meant more and more as I age.

I have a copy of Los Caprichos, by Goya. Although aimed at 1799 Spain, his observations are timeless.
Nothing will ride to our rescue. The people get what they want: Government goodies, immigrants to do the dirty work, a legalized dope. That's the way Soros, Zuckerberg and the rest of the global elites want it.
You may also want to take a look at his "Playing at Giants".
No class or economic statement there, right?
The recent Museum of Fine Arts Goya exhibition was a revelation.
Difficult to pin him down to a particular point of view.
It saddens me to see how deeply you are now committed to Defeatism, Kurt. I'm sure leftists want most desperately to see Goya as a fellow Marxist, just as they try to do with Charles Dickens, Jesus Christ and any other figure who acknowledges Grief, Loss, Deprivation, Unfairness and Selfishness as part of the Human Condition.
The kind of pessimism that leads to dejection, ultimately leads to enervation and impotence is a trap -- an Entrance to the Dungeon with the Bottomless Pit of Horror beyond human imagining. Something to avoid at all costs.
Freethinke, I don't try to see him as a fellow anything.
I try to see him.
The Leftist Prism forever intervenes between you and the truth, Ducky. I doubt if you can help it.
I will say in addition lest you accuse me of seeing everything from a "fringe right" point of view, that I never read a novel, enjoyed a play or a poem, looked at a picture, or listened to a piece of music with any political agenda in mind, until a bearded Marxist professor in graduate school informed the class that the operas and symphonies of Mozart, et al. were "the products of "Privilege." The way he enunciated the word "privilege" made it sound as though his nostrils had suddenly become contaminated with the stench of putrefaction, and his gorge was about to rise. I thought him a most awful ass, and still do.
I am still stunned by that incident, however. It was reminiscent of the way the Red Chinese once banned Beethoven & CO as products of a "decadent, obsolete, Bourgeois Capitalist culture destined for extermination."
When it comes to Art, Music, Architecture, etc. I don't give a hoot in hell about the political, moral, religious convictions of the creative geniuses. Alcoholics, wife beaters, pederasts, anti-Semites, liars, serial adulterers, homosexuals with unpleasant dispositions, etc. All that matters is what they PRODUCED. They, themselves, interest me very little, because I see them as mere CONDUITS for tiny glimpses of Divinity that give life meaning, and lend it enchantment.
Art is to EDIFY not to INSTRUCT.
Edify means instruct but leave that aside.
Why insist on restricting art to one function?

A brilliant evocation of grotesque, haunting, nightmarish visions. Highly reminiscent of Gustave Doré and Daumier (of "The Third-Class Carriage" fame)

I don't hold much hope for the "great awakening" happening anytime soon. People have been locked in the dark by their manipulative masters, unable to discern the problem even if it has been staring them in the face for a century, at least.
Some great mind once said that to find out who your masters really are, first find out who you are prohibited from criticizing. People will readily criticize "the left", "the communists", "socialists and/or "progressives" without ever connecting the dots recognizing the real force behind those identified segments.
People readily recognize Karl Marx as the ideological force behind much of the evil scourge perpetrated upon the planet during the last century and the enormous death toll piled up in reaching the supposed nirvana of pure communism. But recognizing the larger driving force behind the evil of communism is carefully avoided and NEVER named.
Moses Hess, the revered mentor of Karl Marx, whose body was exhumed from its original burial place, to be given a place of honor and reverence in the state of Israel makes a clear connection—equating socialism with Zionism. How else to understand the mysterious imposition of Russia being shackled by the plague of Bolshevism in 1917. This revolution being aided and abetted by serious financial, backing from American and European communist sympathizers and avid Zionists.
Both Lenin and Trotsky had to be transported back to Russia to foment the momentous event of the October Revolution since they both had been expelled from Mother Russia earlier by Tsar Nicholas Romanov.
I know exactly what you mean, Waylon, but we must always keep in mind that if there were no legitimate grievances to exploit, the cunning little foxes who brought Bolshevism into the world would never have been able to get a so much as a toehold on the ladder that leads to Power and Control.
Naive and Simplistic as it may sound to cynical modern ears Jesus told us "Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
That takes wisdom, courage and the kind of unselfishness possessed by few. The lesson, I think, we need to learn is that we must keep trying to achieve ideals, even though we know we will never fully succeed. It is the continual EFFORT to strive for perfection that determines our character -- and the state of our soul. God defines and judges "success" by entirely different standards than we.

America circa 1850.
Resentment towards and contempt for Authority is universal. It has existed since time immemorial no doubt. That said, I did not like the way that woman read Hawthorne. Her recital was infused with a modern, foreign-sounding cynicism of her own that does not properly belong to Hawthorne.

On the The New Age
During my student days I worked at Die Matie, the Stellenbosch University student newspaper. We had lots of fun finding new ways of upsetting the powers that be (believing we were revolutionaries when we were really only left-of-centre students having fun with questioning authority). From publishing an article about students having sex in the Ox Wagon stationed in Die Neelsie (the student canteen), to publishing interviews with Trevor Manuel (shortly after his release from a longs pell in detention) and Archbishop Tutu, we managed to get the authorities of this apartheid university quite worked up.
Once, after writing a column in which I compared PW Botha (who was the Chancellor of the University) to a clown and in which I included a fake phone conversation between PW Botha and the head of the SABC, which ended with PW Botha slamming down the phone and his wife saying: "Pappie, bedaar tog. Jy weet wat die dokter oor jou hart gese het" ("Daddy, calm, down. You know what the doctor said about your heart") I was called in by the Vice Chancellor who threatened to expel me from the University.
That never happened, of course. In the apartheid years, good Afrikaner boys were not expelled from conservative Afrikaans universities – no matter how much they had angered the State President or had upset the thin-skinned apartheid apparachniks running the university.
The paper was still made up by hand at the offices of Die Burger in Cape Town. On Wednesday evenings as we put Die Matie to bed, the subeditors of Die Burger would come down from their offices on the 5th floor to where both papers were being finalised to have a final look at the pages of their paper. In those days Die Burger was still the official mouthpiece of the National Party and the editors were anxious about how their pages would be viewed by President PW Botha and other Nat leaders.
More than once I heard them remark about how happy PW Botha would be with their particular page — either because it contained many stories from PW Botha's home town of George or because it contained stories which put the PFP or the ANC in a bad light.
If one read both Die Burger and the then Weekly Mail one would have thought that they were reporting on two completely different countries. The former was filled with stories about the Total Onslaught, that "communist and terrorist", Nelson Mandela, and endless reports of cabinet ministers opening agricultural shows and railing against the liberal media and the evil opposition in Parliament, led by an Afrikaner traitor, Frederik van Zyl Slabbert. The latter reported on UDF politics and on police atrocities — although such reports were scarred by black strips before it was made illegal for a newspaper to cover certain sentences in their reports with black strips when these sentences contravened the totalitarian state of emergency media regulations.
We have come a long way since those years. Freedom of expression — including freedom of the media — is now entrenched in our Constitution and the mainstream media is now far more vibrant and critical of business leaders and politicians than it was then. Because of the changing political and legal landscape, newspapers are far more capable and willing to report on government corruption. The defamation laws have been relaxed to make it more difficult for politicians successfully to sue a newspaper (which is why President Jacob Zuma's various defamation actions are never ever going to reach a court of law).
Anyone with access to the Internet can now obtain information from a wide variety of sources, including foreign newspaper websites, sites like Wikileaks and from many local and international Blogs. If the National Party had still been in power today it would not have been nearly as successful as it was then in controlling the flow of news. In a globalised and connected world, those with access to the Internet who wish to know more about the world around them, will find a way.
It is in this context that The New Age newspaper finally launched today. The venture has been widely ridiculed, not only because the financial backers of the paper are tenderpreneurial friends of President Jacob Zuma, but also because the paper has stated that it will broadly support the ANC government. Why anyone would have a problem with The New Age stating upfront that it would be broadly supportive of the ANC government, is beyond me.
Unlike the SABC, which is supposed to be a public broadcaster serving the needs of all South Africans and, hence, is supposed to be scrupulously fair and non-partisan (something it is decidedly not), The New Age is privately owned. If it wants to take a pro-ANC line, so be it. If there are enough newspaper readers who would want to buy such a paper, it would probably be good for the media landscape in South Africa if The New Age survives and even thrives as it will provide another voice to take part in the national conversation.
In my experience South African print journalists have a tendency to hunt in packs. Because they often hang out together and often have more or less the same ideological commitments or political instincts (which — rightly in my view — seems deeply cynical of the political class), they have a tendency to agree on what the take on a particular story should be and often pursue more or less the same angle to a story, whether they work for The Times, The Citizen, The Star or The Sowetan.
This is not part of some liberal conspiracy — its just the way human beings work. The addition of another voice — one that is slightly more professional and credible than the SABC, which is a news outlet that does not always seem too hard to try to be fair — that might provide a different perspective, will hopefully make all journalists more aware of their own unspoken assumptions and commitments and will help them to sharpen their analysis and reporting. Competition is often a good thing — also when it comes to reporting.
There is no such thing as a neutral news source. Journalists can try and be fair and they can steer clear of obvious party-political propaganda, but in the end what they report on and how they report on it will not be absolutely "objective". (There is a difference between being fair and being objective. The former is worth striving for, the latter is impossible.)
Every day millions of potentially important things (important at least for some people) happen in the world and it would be impossible for one newspaper to report on it all. This means some things are left out and decisions about what is left out and what is published are based on many factors, including the underlying assumptions of newspaper editors about how the world works and who reads their newspapers.
That is why South Africa's serious newspapers mostly have a bias towards Gauteng and Cape Town, why they report on what Ministers say and what happens in Parliament relatively well, but seldom tell the stories of Mrs Ledwaba in Sheshego or Mr Biyela in Lusikisiki. What is published in a newspaper and what not, how it is reported and what angle is taken, all depend on the underlying assumptions of those writing, editing and publishing the newspaper. This does not make the newspapers evil or part of an anti-democratic plot as Blade Nzimande suggested rather laughably last month: like history, the news presented by one news outlet will always be just one of many possible versions about our country and our world.
The New Age will be no different. It will provide one version of what happens in our country. That will not necessarily make it a bad newspaper. As long as it does not turn into a propaganda mouthpiece of the ANC (a bit like Die Burger used to be for the National Party and like the SABC used to be for the National Party and now more often seems to be for the ANC), it will add a valuable voice to the media landscape in South Africa.
If The New Age can fill some of the gaps left by other publications and if it can report on parts of our world which other newspapers do not often cover very well, it would be good for all of us as it will help us to understand our country better and perhaps even help us to understand the ANC better.
Of course, the paper might turn out to be boring and uninspiring, in which case the Gupta's will waste millions of Rand on a hopeless venture before the paper closes down. And there is a danger that the paper might gain advertising revenue from the state not on the strength of its readership, but because of its pro-ANC stance. If that happens the paper will be associated with corruption and this will not be good for its reputation. It will also constitute an abuse of power on the part of ANC-aligned state institutions and might well be illegal.
So, I welcome the publication of The New Age. I hope it will not be boring and that it will not become a propaganda sheet without any credibility, but that it will provide a different take on the news and different political analysis from what is currently available in the mainstream media. If it does, I will become a regular reader — even if I will not always agree with the way it reports on everything or with all the political stances it takes or political opinions it carries.
This is one of the wonders of a free media: one has a choice to listen to different voices and then to make up your own mind about what is right and wrong.

Families Commemorate Victims of Police Brutality, Denounce Lack of Independent Investigations
News by Sarah Jesmer & Cainy Mok — Published October 26, 2015 | Comments

As family members held close the portraits of loved ones who died from police mistreatment, nearby officers looked on in stony silence from the stoops of the police offices outside Laurier metro on Thursday evening.
Approximately 70 people gathered for the sixth annual commemorative vigil to share memories of deaths involving police brutality, excessive force or mistreatment that failed to yield justice or official answers.
The event was organized by the Justice for Victims of Police Killings Coalition, a Montreal-based community made up of families touched by police-related deaths.
Concordia student Julie Matson experienced first-hand the effects of police brutality. Matson shared with the crowd the story of her father Ben Matson, whose confrontation with the law escalated from a parking violation to being publicly beaten by officers and dying of asphyxiation while in custody.
"My wish is that the police would actually really overhaul their training and include a significant portion of it to be sensitivity training," said Matson. "Especially with people with mental health issues and different social classes, and that goes into race as well."
Bridget Tolley is the daughter of Gladys Tolley, a First Nations woman who was struck and killed by a patrol car driven by a Quebec police officer in 2001.
"We never saw the body," Tolley said. "The only people who saw the body were police."
While sharing her story, Tolley turned from the crowd and spoke directly to a group of eight officers blocking the doors to the police department.
"Since when was it allowed for a brother to investigate another brother while on the scene of an accident after [striking] and killing someone? Since when?" she asked.
There was no reply. Tolley's words addressed the conflict of interest in her family's case—the officer who led the investigation of Gladys Tolley's death was the brother of the officer driving the vehicle which struck and killed her.
Police brutality and impunity have been brought to the forefront of the public eye in North America, especially in the last few years. A highly publicized case is that of Michael Brown, a Black teenager who was shot and killed by a police officer in Missouri in 2014.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting were heavily disputed, according to an article in the New York Times. After an investigation was brought before a grand jury, the police officer responsible was not convicted. The media coverage and intensity of the case sparked a landslide of discussions concerning police impunity. According to Matson, the increase of police militarization and an imbalance of power lead to these frequent cases of police brutality and mistreatment.
Wissam Mansour, another attendant of the vigil, pointed out the lack of an independent institution watching over police forces.
"When something big [like police-related killings happens], police will investigate police, [there's] no one from the outside," Mansour said. There are only internal investigations done on police officers who are suspected of crimes, which makes it easier, in theory, to have charges and investigations dropped with little explanation. There is a belief that the introduction of outside supervision to police forces might decrease the number of brutality cases.
As more cases of police brutality are brought to light, the need for systemic reform and a hunger for justice are also on the rise.
"It has been 14 years, but there is still no justice," Tolley said. "I don't want this to happen to my children."

I chatted to Louis Bradley of Dazed and Confused Magazine about typographic rebellion and how the ultimate way to rebel against the increasing ubiquity of the sans serif might be to use fonts that provoke a reaction like Comic Sans or Papyrus.
The idea that something as simple as typeface can be an integral part of a protest movement might sound a bit far-fetched. But the role of fonts is just as important as actual words in communicating a message to the masses. It's why you don't ever stray too far away from Arial or Times New Roman on your CV – you don't want to come across as too much of an avant-garde loose canon by opting for Lucida Handwriting or Bradley Hand. Or why you don't commonly use curly script-like letters for your uni essays.


The USGS (United States Geological Survey) produced limited numbers of topographic maps with shaded relief.
"Panoramic View of the Yosemite National Park, California" by John H, Renshawe, USGS, 1914.
Around 1913, the USGS produced the first shaded relief maps for the western national parks using watercolours. Around 1925, charcoal, pencil, crayon, and chalk came into use. Although the maps made after WWII with the airbrush technique were a great improvement over more traditional earlier methods, they still lacked necessary contrast.
To make up for this deficiency, experiments involving two film negatives of the relief plate followed. The first plate (brown) printed a broad range of light and medium tones and the second plate emphasized only the darkest shadows. A third plate (green) accentuated the valley depths, which was later replaced by magenta.
The map of Yosemite below features airbrushed relief shading produced in 1946 and published in 1949.

In knitting, the word gauge is used both in hand knitting and machine knitting; the latter, technical abbreviation GG, refers to "Knitting Machines" fineness size. In both cases, the term refers to the number of stitches per inch, not the size of the finished garment. In both cases, the gauge is measured by counting the number of stitches (in hand knitting) or the number of needles (on a knitting machine bed) over several inches then dividing by the number of inches in the width of the sample.
Gauge on knitting machines
There are two types of classification of Knitting Gauges or Unit of Measure:
A – Used for Cotton Fully fashion flat machines (Bentley – Monk, Textima, Sheller etc..) where "Gauge" is measured in 1,5" Inches (2,54 cm x 1,5) and the machine's gauge is expressed by the number of needles needed to achieve that gauge.
B – Used for hand, mechanical or modern Electronic Flat Machines (Stoll, Shima, Protti etc..), where gauge is measured in 1 inch increments (or 2,5 cm) and the machine's gauge is similarly measured by the number of needles required to achieve that number.

University Station is an LRT station on the Capital Line in Edmonton, Alberta. It is an underground station located beneath 112 Street at 89 Avenue on the University of Alberta campus.
University Station is the busiest LRT station in Edmonton, serving an average of 29,470 passengers per weekday.
University Station was opened August 23, 1992 and was the first LRT Station located on the south side of the North Saskatchewan River. It is connected to Grandin (Government Centre) Station by the Dudley B. Menzies Bridge, a dedicated LRT bridge (with a lower level for pedestrians and cyclists). With the exception of the bridge and its approaches, the LRT line between Grandin Station and University Station runs through underground tunnels.
University Station was the southern terminus of the LRT line prior to the opening of the Health Sciences Station on January 3, 2006.
Station layout
The station has a 123 metre long centre loading platform that can accommodate two five-car LRT trains at the same time, with one train on each side of the platform. The platform is just over eight metres wide. Access to the platform is from a concourse level by stairs and escalators located at each end of the platform. There is also an elevator at the north end of the platform. The concourse level provides access to the surface and to the university's Housing Union Building (HUB). It is the deepest station on the line, at a depth of 23 metres below the surface.
