In music, there is no limit to perfection: artists are virtuosos, instruments sound better, sound engineers are building a stunning picture, engineers invent new recording standards and their supporting devices. Xonar Essence One MUSES Edition – about it today and will be discussed – the pinnacle of achievement in the field of Asus DAC with integrated headphone amplifier.
The company has three versions of Asus Xonar Essence One. They differ only in the components used (or rather – only op amps) is structurally and color lacquered dragon on the upper face of the body.
There is a basic version of the Essence One. For those who would like to experiment with the change of the operational amplifiers, but can not buy them, made Xonar Essence One Plus – the delivery includes a box with six decent chips Texas Instruments OPA2132PA and National Semiconductor LM4562NA.
Top of the line is the MUSES Edition, a factory-equipped top-end operational amplifiers Muse 01 of Japan's New Japan Radio Co.
The luxury box buyer will find everything you need to start using – the actual DAC, two cable – to connect to an electrical outlet and your computer, as well as an adapter with 6.3 mm jacks on the 3.5 mm headphone plug, drivers, and brief instructions.
Appearance of the device bears little resemblance to the "traditional" Hi-Fi-components. This, of course, not avant-garde in style Chord, but on a curved upper edge of the frame being asked a couple of holes with covers and lamps.
Asus clearly went too far with the amount and brightness of the luminous elements on the front – even in the daytime they distract attention from the music, if you are in sight.
The volume knob looks solid, profitable emphasizing the noble gray color of the metal casing.
Asus Xonar Essence One MUSES Edition, as the "little brother" is used to convert digital signals to analog and strengthen them.
Three digital inputs: USB, optical (Toslink) and coaxial (S / PDIF). They are all located on the rear panel of the unit and can be changed manually, the button on the front panel. The result of brute force indicated by an LED in the corresponding text box. Connectors are close to each other, so if you plan to use cables with thick plugs, please make sure that you can connect them.
All-metal housing, it dissipates heat well (when using the device heats up) and at the same time serves as a shield against electromagnetic interference, penetrating the space surrounding us.
Two volume controls. The one on the larger, located in the center of the front panel, is responsible for line-out. Unfortunately, it can not be avoided, as in the Xonar Essence STU. The second regulator for headphones.
For instant mute button is Mute. Why should periodically turn off the sound is clear, but that's why for this purpose is ill-suited volume control, self-explanatory. One version is as follows: since there is no way to get around the volume control circuit line-out, when working with an integrated amplifier is better to install a handle on the Xonar Essence One to one selected position and did not touch it, and control the playback volume entrust amplifier.
The remote control is not provided, all adjustments are performed manually.
Headphones connected to the jack on the front panel. The amplifier is capable of handling loads up to 600 ohms.
Line outputs are located on the rear panel. Two RCA-connector are quite close to each other, so it is worth repeating a warning about the need to explore the use of cables with thick connectors.
Compared with a younger model, equipment Xonar Essence One is better because there are balanced outputs on XLR-connectors. They allow you to connect powered speakers and get the system without a pre-amplifier, or rather, his role will be played DAC Asus.
Xonar Essence One is capable of handling signals with different sample rates – the list is presented on the front panel LED indicates which is being played at the track. Placement of the series of numbers and LEDs next (and also aligned) with volume control can create a false impression that the user controls the oversampling in its sole discretion. In fact, oversampling is switched on / off a single button, though its non-standard algorithms.
44.1 / 88.2 / 176.4 kHz are converted to 352.8 kHz, while 48/96/192 kHz – 384 kHz to. 8-fold increase in the frequency, regardless of the frequency of the original signal – unlike competing solutions that use fractional odds – should have a positive impact on the quality.
Actually DAC is implemented on a pair of chips PCM1795, included on the balancing scheme, which allows better control of noise. Conversion accuracy and contributes to the 32-bit mode. Other components – to match the class of the device, audiophile quality. In the manufacture of printed circuit boards used to develop Asus – the ground plane, also helps to reduce noise.
The only complaint – physically total fee for all three components – power supplies, digital and analog parts in the equipment of class Hi-Fi and above, many manufacturers are trying to separate them.
The power system is based on the internal toroidal transformer. For the network device connected via a standard three-conductor cable, which makes it easy to experiment with his replacement by audiophile version. Individual contact housing ground there, so you should pay special attention to wiring outlet. In homes where there is no physical ground "vanishing", "earth" wire can cause background – low hum, well distinguishable by ear.
After you install the ASIO-driver in the system there is a new device, the only required setting – enable ASIO-mode, as a result of information without going through Windows, is transferred via USB to the Xonar Essence One. If done correctly, the front panel LED lights to inform the inclusion of Bit Perfect.
Now, with the computer, you can listen to the recording, digitized to 192 KHz with a bit depth to 24 bit.
Asus Xonar Essence One MUSES Edition can be modified without loss of the manufacturer's warranty in two complementary ways.
The first – to play with power cords. No matter what the fans of the university physics, the difference in sound is, although not as significant as the second method – the replacement of the operational amplifiers. For MUSES Edition it is not the most relevant, as already mentioned, the device at the factory is staffed by top-end op-amp, and for the Xonar Essence One – completely.
To assess the quality of sound methods were used, components and items listed in the material of the Xonar Essence STU.
Asus Xonar Essence One MUSES Edition though not without difficulty, but replays CD-player Cyrus CD6 – affect and age, and price category.
The main difference – the best drawing of the scene (although the position of performers a little more blurred). Xonar Essence One makes it wider.
The disc of Tom Waits Swordfishtrombones shows details that previously had to guess: acoustic bass in the Soldier's Things chamber finds warmth, keeping the articulation.
Audio file release of Patricia Barber Café Blue a lot of fun. Melancholic style of performance, acoustic instruments. And Xonar vividly paints a picture of a small stage on which play your favorite music by professional musicians.
With Mein Teil Rammstein Asus Xonar Essence One MUSES Edition cope easily. Recorded drive there, no cacophony in which it can turn on a system with a lack of detail and dynamics.
Oversampling left a mixed impression. On the one hand is great that it is, and well implemented. On the other – the sound is obtained by "embellished" and "licked". This may sound very impress at first listen, but like it is not everything. Oversampling is responsible for a separate DSP-chip from Analog Devices ADSP-21261 (from the family of Sharc).
A significant difference between the inputs is not seen, but the optical and coax a little bit better. Perhaps the difference is that used the supplied USB-cable and a simple laptop.
Working with the estimated low-impedance headphones (38 ohms), the Monitor Audio-technica ATH-M50RD (Limited Edition). In principle, Essence One MUSES Edition can discover their dignity better with more expensive headphones, but even this was a worthy companion.
"Toccata and Fugue in D Minor BWV 565" by JS Bach sounded surprisingly natural. This is undoubtedly a collective achievement and a sound engineer, no body had turned into stereoattraktsion and Xonar, which provided a sufficient level of dynamics.
"Requiem" by Mozart – the sublime and sad music. Like all classics, it is played solely on acoustic instruments and strings – a real test for the audio system. Decca Record 1976 filofonicheskaya rather than audiophile, reading the works of well-known conductor Herbert Von Karajan is interesting in itself.
Yes, Asus Xonar Essence One MUSES Edition – plays perfectly. Detailed sound, but without the sharpness, dynamic, but does not cause fatigue during extended listening. Music is a lot of fun.
The device is certainly qualitatively made, and even some design refinements can be forgiven for his musicality.
However, Asus, it should be understood that for the similar (well, a little big) money can buy a device with similar except (a little better) sound quality and functionality also known audiobrenda magic.

Rava idli is among the simple recipe which have the goodness of several dals and spices. It's not only healthy and irresistible but additionally quite simple to prepare too. These day there are few readymade instant rava idli packs found in market which just required water and steaming. However, nothing compares to the flavor of traditional homemade idli.
To make the rava idli fluffy you can use baking soda or eno fruit salt. Without baking soda or eno fruit salt rava idli will probably be hard and rubbery, in contrast to being soft and spongy.
It includes sufficient quantity of iron and that is needed for the body. Eating a diet that is loaded with iron boosts blood circulation, generate more energy for your day-to-day functioning.

Stuart Robinson School was a settlement school in Blackey, Letcher County, Kentucky, established in 1913 as a Presbyterian mission. It closed in 1957, after graduating its last class in 1956.

Establishment
Stuart Robinson School was established in 1913 by Rev. Dr. Edward O. Guerrant. A physician and evangelist, Guerrant was the founder of several schools and churches in eastern Kentucky. Guerrant is said to have been inspired to start a mission in Blackey after he encountered some boys swimming in the nearby river on a Sunday morning in 1910 and discovered that most of the boys had never heard of Sunday school, much less attended one. The school was named for Rev. Stuart Robinson, who had been a pastor of Louisville Second Presbyterian Church. Robinson was known for both his leadership role among border state Presbyterians during and after the Civil War and his interest in mission work in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. The school had 140 students when it opened.

Campus and facilities
The school was located on a  campus served by the Rockhouse Branch of the L&N Railroad and by Kentucky Route 15.  It also maintained a large farm to produce food for the school. School and farm buildings included dormitories and a dining hall, educational buildings, a library, a gymnasium, houses for teachers, and a dairy barn, silo, and milk house with equipment for pasteurization and refrigeration.  By its final years, the campus expanded from 16 to .

School program
Stuart Robinson School was coeducational and operated as a day and boarding school with twelve grades. Most students were enrolled in a work-study program, which the school called its "Work Scholarship plan", through which students could earn all or part of the cost of their education and board. Boys typically did farm and gardening work, installed fencing, fired the school's furnaces, worked at carpentry, or maintained plumbing and electrical wiring. Girls did cooking and housekeeping work in the school's kitchen, dining room and dormitories.

The school fielded interscholastic teams in football and basketball. Extracurricular activities included a glee club, a home economics club, and literary societies.

Throughout its history, the school operated as a Presbyterian mission. In 1935 it was described as the Presbyterian church's largest school.

Closure
The school closed after Letcher County built public schools in the nearby community of Letcher. It graduated its last class in 1956 and closed in 1957, after which time the Southern Presbyterian Church sold the property. The school property is now used as Calvary Campus, a Christian camp, education facility, and retreat center.

Alumni
A school fundraising pamphlet stated that more than half of Stuart Robinson's graduates went on to college, and that many later returned to mountain communities in eastern Kentucky "to teach school to their lesser-enlightened neighbors" and sometimes "organized Sunday Schools where they have never before existed."  Notable alumni of the Stuart Robinson School include  Juanita Kreps, U.S. Secretary of Commerce under President Jimmy Carter, and Gurney Norman, author and university professor whose novel Divine Right's Trip was published in serial form in the Whole Earth Catalog.

EU Official Says Balkans Court Systems Need Help - 2003-04-03
October 30, 2009 4:35 AM update October 30, 2009 5:16 AM
The head of the European Union-led Stability Pact for southeastern Europe says that while the region is recovering from the decade-long wars of Yugoslav succession, judicial systems in the Balkans are still weak.
Austrian politician Erhard Busek said the court systems in the Balkans need help. He endorsed the Serbian campaign against judicial corruption that since the assassination of Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic on March 12 has dismissed several judges and prosecutors. However, Mr. Busek says what kind of judges will replace them is still in question.
Gerd Ahrens, the German diplomat who for three years headed the Organization for Security Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in Albania, said corrupt judicial systems in Albania and neighboring countries deter needed foreign investment.
"We did all kinds of things in cooperation with the Council of Europe to develop good laws [in Albania]. There are good laws," he said. "But there are no good judges. There are some very unsavory characters from the old system in key positions. You have to fire judges. But according to the laws we introduced in the country, you can not fire judges!"
Mr. Busek agreed but could offer no assurance of early change. "I can only deliver a very sad message. We have to wait for the next generation," he said Wednesday during a forum at the the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington. "I don't see anything else. Especially in Albania. What [former dictator] Enver Hoxha did [was very bad] and I don't need to tell it to you."
Mr. Busek, who took over leadership of the cooperation agency last year, says Balkan countries are willing to put aside ethnic and national rivalries and agree to regional cooperation because it moves them toward eventual EU membership.
The Stability Pact helped negotiate free trade agreements among all of the Balkan countries. It is creating a regional electricity grid and hopes to do the same with oil and gas. It has facilitated the return of 135,000 refugees to Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia.
Concerning Kosovo, Mr. Busek said his goal is to convince the 15 European Union countries that the Albanian-populated Serbian province is not a black hole where corruption is endemic. He ruled out changes in national boundaries as a means of settling disputes.

Our strong presence in the social housing sector and recent success in securing the 2014/2015 internal and external refurbishment works programme for the London Borough of Havering has created vacancies within our Resident Liaison Team.
So when we were invited to attend the Homes & Housing Recruitment Event we took full advantage of the invitation by sending our Senior Resident Liaison Officer and Business Development Director to promote Cosmur and identify suitable applicants for the Resident Liaison. We felt it was only right to recruit an individual from within Havering as they would have an insight into the local area, existing relationships with members of the community and it would also give us the opportunity to give something back to the local community.

How ironic. An Arab man deep-fries himself with the petroleum product, which not only came from his homeland, but also is the focus of his protest. Kinda like a libby shooting himself to protest guns. Or health nut protesters having a lard eat in to prove that fatty foods are bad for you.
What a waste. Gasoline still aint cheap.

Well, we've already heard from Frankie this morning so that eliminates one suspect.
Either you overlooked to word "Arab" in the topic or you are proud of being uninformed. I'd like to think the former.

La battaglia di Les Essarts è stata una battaglia della seconda guerra di Vandea combattuta il 25 giugno 1795 a Les Essarts.

La battaglia
Il 25 giugno, come dichiarazione di guerra e mettendo fine al trattato di La Jaunaye, François Charette incaricò uno dei suoi tenenti, François Pajot, di attaccare la guarnigione di Les Essarts.
I soldati repubblicani, che stavano giocando per divertirsi, furono completamente presi di sorpresa e si arresero subito.

Secondo il rapporto del generale Canclaux, l'esercito vandeano era composto da 1.500-1.800 uomini comandato dai comandanti di divisione Rezeau, Caillaud e Dumoutier, Lucas de La Championnière tuttavia riporta anche la presenza di Pajot.

Non sapendo della fine della pace, i repubblicani inizialmente lasciarono avvicinare i vandeani, ma quando al grido di "Chi va là?", si sentirono rispondere "Realisti", i repubblicani aprirono il fuoco, ferendo due nemici. I vandeani caricarono l'accampamento e i repubblicani fuggirono, senza quasi apporre resistenza.

La battaglia non ebbe molti morti, secondo quando riportò l'ufficiale vandeano Lucas de La Championnière solo pochi repubblicani vengono uccisi mentre gli altri furono quasi tutti presi prigionieri, mentre le perdite dei vandeani ammontano a due soldati e due ufficiali feriti, tra cui Pajot e Dumoutier. Nella sua relazione, Canclaux riportò che dei 500 uomini a difesa dell'accampamento, 117 sono stati fatti prigionieri.

Charette propose uno scambio di prigionieri a Joseph-Marie Gaudin, a Les Sables-d'Olonne, ma quest'ultimo rifiutò. I repubblicani catturati a Les Esserts furono così fucilati il 9 agosto, su ordine di Charette per rappresaglia dopo che furono giustiziati 748 tra emigrati e chouan catturati dai repubblicani a seguito dello sbarco a Quiberon.

Q: Converting coordinates from SVY21 to WGS84 I am trying to transform the SVY21 coordinates I have to the WGS84 coordinate system.
I tried using the GDAL software and pasted the following into command after installing:
ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON –t_srs WGS84 <jsonFileName>.json <shapefile>.shp
It results in the failure:

Unable to open datasource 'WGS84' with the following drivers

And the drivers are listed.
Also I tried to use the python utm package to convert the N48 utm coordinate to WGS48, but I did not manage to convert the SVY21 coordinates to the N48 utm reference point.
I found the proposed solution in this old post confusing in terms of terminology and I would prefer using some existing solution.
Is there a "easy" solution that makes use of my previous approaches or is quickly applicable to my problem? I would also be happy if someone could provide me with a more precise explanation of the approach featured in the older post.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I tried writing a python script that implements the vicenty direct calculation from the "old post" mentioned before. It would also help, if someone could confirm that substracting the False Coordinates of Projection Origin (28001.642mE,38744.572mN) from the raw svy21 (e,n) and using the Projection Origin (Unmarked point) (103° 50' 00", 1° 22' 00") is correct.

A: I was compiling gdal by hand and I could use the following command to do what you wanted:

*

*You have to copy the *.shp (and *.shx) files beside the ogr2ogr-command (Source: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/56652/how-to-move-and-open-shapefiles-with-ogr2ogr)

*gdal does not immediately know "EPSG:3414" - the EPSG name for SCY21, so give it a hint, this is in the [INSTALL LOCATION]/data (i dont know where it is on an installed version, especially not on windows. Search for a file called "gcs.csv", and point GDAL_LOCATION to the containing folder.

*define t_srs and s_srs eccordingly

*Define the output format ("GEOJson")
Summa summarum:
GDAL_DATA="../data" ./ogr2ogr -f "GEOJson" "LaneMarking_wgs84.json" "LaneMarking.shp" -t_srs WGS84 -s_srs "EPSG:3414"

Have fun :)

Podcast rewind: 3 insights into SEO's radical reinvention
David Welsh
Search engine optimisation may be one of digital's most traditional and well-established disciplines, but change is afoot. In fact, few other aspects of digital are evolving as radically as SEO, and much of it is being driven by Google's reinvention of the SERP (search engine results page) from simple directory to personalised portal.
In the latest episode of Inside the Funnel, Jenna, Nasser, and Dan examined this sea change in organic search, explored Google's role therein, and pondered the future of one of the most challenging roles in digital. Here are just a few of the highlights.
SERPs are changing… fast
Search results pages are steadily becoming richer, more complex, and more nuanced. Jenna attributes these changes to Google's three broad goals:
Visualisation 👀
Zero clickification 👆
Monetisation 💸
Compare a current SERP to those of, say, 10 years ago and you'll see a significant difference. We're seeing much more visual content (images, video), answer boxes and other snippets in position zero, and much more variety in the positioning and prominence of paid ads.
User behaviour is a strong driver of these changes. In short, Google (and other search engines) is responding to the fact that most users have a strong preference for visual content, spend less time engaging with text, and are happy to have their queries answered without having to click through to another site. Google is also responding to competitive threats. Towards the end of 2021, for instance, Tik Tok got more traffic than Google. It doesn't necessarily mean that people are using Tik Tok as a search engine (though its hashtags do lean into that purpose). Instead, Google is paying close attention to how users want to be presented with information.
Remember as well that Google's primary mission is to not to send people to websites, but to organise the world's information and provide answers accordingly. So if the search engine gives you all the information you need directly on the SERP, that's a great user experience, right? If fewer click throughs and more time on the SERP results in more exposure to paid ad units, advertisers win too.
A new chapter in performance measurement
As we predicted at the time, Google's BERT AI has proven to be a game-changer in SEO. It revolutionised how the search engine interprets and responds to user intent, and its effects are rippling far and wide. In fact, the general downturn in website traffic can be at least partially attributed to BERT. The AI is powering results that answer queries directly on the SERP, which is turning a traditional metric on its head: Higher rankings used to mean higher impression volume, but the correlation is weakening.
As of 2022, ranking #1 for a specific query doesn't guarantee you clicks the way it used to; instead, your appearance in the organic section of the SERP is just one part of a richer search experience. It's a timely reminder that SEO doesn't work in isolation—especially if you're focusing exclusively on written content. Think of all the other SERP real estate you could target for the exact same query: Paid ads, local listings, shopping modules, images, videos.
As SEO becomes more multifaceted, so too should your measurement. To take McDonald's as an example, 25 years ago it likely had the number of Big Macs sold as a KPI. Back then it may have been a fairly solid indicator of the health of the business overall, but these days it wouldn't paint such a rosy picture. That's why McDonald's has adjusted the way it measures success. accommodating a huge number of factors like consumer behavior, dietary needs, the complexity and regionality of its menu, and so on. In the same way, the role the SERP has on your business can't be captured by the simple metric of organic visits alone. Consider a much wider range of metrics, and compose them together to tell a bigger story.
Content is (still) king
The first requirement for SEO success is to understand your customer. If you don't yet have data-informed personas and segmentation—no psychographics—then it's time to catch up. Learn whatever you can about your customers, then use that knowledge to step into their shoes and understand the type of content they want, need, and expect. It's a team effort that will likely require considerable expertise in both research and content strategy, but it will provide the same foundation required for all good marketing, especially omnichannel.
Bear in mind also that Google holds technical SEO in high regard, including things like page speed, rendering time, and mobile friendliness. Fundamentals like page titles, meta descriptions, and on-page copy continue to matter, but also think about the many different ways people can find out about your brand, from optimised images and video to local listings, third-party content (e.g. influencers), and immersive experiences like AR and VR.
SEO has never been more SEO than it is right now; it is truly a holistic term, with connections to almost every other digital discipline. For instance, your decision to spend money (or not) on a certain set of paid ads is a part of optimising your presence in a search engine. Just make sure your paid efforts are an off-on switch in your reporting so you understand in totality what the medium is doing for your business. Users, after all, don't care about paid versus organic. They simply want to find the right information at the right time.
All this and more awaits in the full episode. Listen now!

Amazon rainforest at the crossroads
The Pan-Amazonian region protects the world's largest rainforest, accounting for 40 percent of the entire South American continent. It is home to indigenous peoples, which take up 28 percent of the land, and mega biodiversity in protected areas which represent 23 percent of the region. Now, more than ever, this great cultural and natural wealth faces many challenges.
The Amazonian Georeferenced Socio-Environmental Information Network (RAISG)—a technical group made up of organizations from six countries in the region—has published its latest collection of maps on the pressures and threats faced by the Amazonian region.
The publication, updated in 2018, addresses six themes: interventions in transport infrastructure (roads, waterways, railways), energy (hydroelectric projects), and extractive industries (mining and oil), as well as monitoring the frequency of burning and deforestation. The results show that 68 percent of the region's protected natural areas and indigenous territories overlap with infrastructure projects and investment plans.
The RAISG shows that, considering just mining and oil, 87.2 million hectares, or 22 percent of the 390 million hectares dedicated to conservation and indigenous territories, are subject to some kind of threat or pressure.
The maps also show the presence of hydroelectric projects and roads in protected natural areas and in indigenous territories. In this case, 78 of the 272 large hydroelectric power plants in the Amazon—either planned, under construction or in operation—are inside indigenous territories and 84 are in conflict with protected natural areas. As far as roads, waterways and railways are concerned, of the 136,000 kilometres mapped in the region, approximately 20 percent (26,000 km) interfere with protected natural areas and indigenous territories.
"Currently, there is no national policy for the Amazon that will allow us to draw up a comprehensive, coherent and long-term vision for the region," said Richard C. Smith, director of Instituto Bien Común, in Peru. "Thus, a clear territorial development strategy is also not in force. In fact, guidance for policy decisions depends mainly on circumstances and the will of the current rulers."
As today is World Environment Day, The Brazilian Report will republish this study in three parts, focusing first on transport infrastructure, then extractive industries, and finally, on deforestation itself.

Maq is a software that builds mapping assemblies from short reads generated by the next-generation sequencing machines. It is particularly designed for Illumina-Solexa 1G Genetic Analyzer, and has preliminary functions to handle ABI SOLiD data.
Maq first aligns reads to reference sequences and then calls the consensus. At the mapping stage, maq performs ungapped alignment. For single-end reads, maq is able to find all hits with up to 2 or 3 mismatches, depending on a command-line option; for paired-end reads, it always finds all paired hits with one of the two reads containing up to 1 mismatch. At the assembling stage, maq calls the consensus based on a statistical model. It calls the base which maximizes the posterior probability and calculates a phred quality at each position along the consensus. Heterozygotes are also called in this process.

Tahiti's Tahoeraa drops support for France's Le Pen
5:40 am on 5 February 2019
French Polynesia's opposition Tahoeraa Huiraatira has broken its links with France's National Rally of Marine Le Pen.

In the 2017 French presidential election, the Tahoeraa urged its backers to vote for Ms Le Pen when she ran against Emmanuel Macron.
But at a weekend party meeting, the Tahoeraa leader Gaston Flosse ruled out further support for her because her party's representative in Tahiti campaigned against the Tahoeraa in last year's territorial election.
He also ruled out contesting the next elections in collaboration with the pro-independence Tavini Huiraatira Party.
At the meeting, Flosse also accused the government of failing to keep its promises and of being opaque with its figures.
He alleges that fewer than 400 jobs have been created since 2014 while the government says it created 1,000 a year.
Flosse says 55,000 people are out of work and a majority is now below the poverty line.

How fast will my vision recover?
Following LASIK, improvement of vision starts immediately. Most patients will perceive tremendous improvement by the next morning. The majority of our LASIK surgery NYC patients achieve 20/40 or better vision overnight; (legal driving vision requirement in most states, including New York). Some tearing and a mild sensation of having an eyelash in the eye is normal and to be expected the day of the procedure. The first follow-up visit is scheduled for the following day after the procedure, at which time Dr. Niksarli ensures that your healing is progressing normally. Eye drops are used for 6 to 10 days, and protective eye-shields are recommended for 2 nights. Visual recovery is slower after PRK, and functional vision is achieved after 3 to 5 days, after which point the recovery continues on a daily basis over the following weeks.
Can I have both eyes treated the same day?
It has been shown by a series of patients that the treatment of both eyes on the same day is just as safe and effective as having the surgery done one eye at a time. Same day treatment is preferred by the majority of our patients for added convenience, quicker visual recovery, and less time away from work. However, the preference of our patients will guide us in the treatment plan.
Laser vision correction is generally painless or associated with little discomfort. During the procedure, anesthetic drops are used to numb the eye with no injections or needles. LASIK patients will generally have irritation for several hours after the procedure. Many patients compare this to a sensation of having an eyelash in the eye and feel no discomfort the following day. Having treated thousands of patients with LASIK, Dr. Niksarli and his staff make every effort to make your surgery as comfortable as possible.
In the hands of an experienced and skilled surgeon like Dr. Niksarli, sight-threatening complications following LASIK are very rare and in most instances treatable. A cornea-trained surgeon who has performed thousands of LASIK procedures and knows how to handle the very thin, delicate, transparent piece of corneal tissue (flap) is essential to the success of LASIK eye surgery. Also, the same surgeon should provide the pre- and post-op care in order to detect any complications in a timely manner. A high degree of experience and skill is necessary to ensure that patients don't run into complications. When performed by a surgeon who has the necessary skills and years of experience, LASIK is a remarkably safe procedure.
Is Laser Vision Correction permanent?
Laser vision correction results in a permanent change to the shape of the cornea. However, laser vision correction will not prevent age related conditions such as presbyopia (the need for reading glasses), cataracts, or glaucoma. These conditions would still be treated in their normal manner.
The best candidates for LASIK are at least 18 years of age, in good health, with no eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataract, and keratoconus. Candidates should also be free of certain health problems including poorly controlled diabetes, auto-immune or collagen vascular diseases. Since hormones may affect the stability of your prescription, pregnant or nursing women are not ideal candidates for laser vision correction.
For patients whose corneas are too thin for LASIK our surgeons offer a range of alternative treatments that deliver similar vision correction results, including LASEK and PRK. Both LASEK and PRK involve complete removal of the superficial layer of the cornea (epithelium) prior to the excimer laser treatment. In LASEK the epithelium is returned to its original position following surgery; in PRK, the eye is covered following treatment to allow new epithelial cells to generate.
LASEK and PRK are permanent vision correction procedures that can be used to correct most levels of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. In contrast to LASIK, LASEK and PRK may require several days of rest in order to avoid postoperative complications and achieve visual stability.
Our medical team at Manhattan Lasik Center ® will inform you of the best treatment option for you and explain every step of your vision correction procedure.
LASIK is considered to be an elective procedure and is therefore not covered by most health insurance plans. However, some insurance companies cover the procedure and we would be happy to check for you with your insurance carrier at the time of your consultation.
Is financing available for Laser Vision Correction?
If you're like most people, one of your biggest concerns is 'How am I going to pay for the procedure?' At Manhattan Lasik Center ®, we make it easy for you to achieve your goal of freedom from glasses and contacts through financing. When you come in for a consultation, our financing manager will assist you in applying for our monthly payment plans. If you are approved, you can choose our 3 month no-interest, same-as-cash option. We can also provide you with low fixed interest rates, low monthly payments, no-prepayment penalties, and no-down payments. For your convenience, we also accept all major credit cards and certified checks.
We use the newest generation VISX STAR S4 IR Active Trak Excimer Laser System and NIDEK EC5000 with active infrared eye tracker. The VISX STAR systems have been used in over 2 million procedures worldwide. This newest laser system incorporates the VISX patented variable beam technology with an active eye-tracking system that works without pupil dilation, as well as other advancements to help the surgeon deliver the best possible treatment.
What is the ActiveTrack eye tracker, and how does it help provide better laser vision correction?
The ActiveTrack eye tracker is a new 3-D-eye-tracking technology. With ActiveTrak, the laser detects and compensates for eye movements by guiding the laser beam to keep it centered over the treatment area. The eye tracker adds a new level of precision and comfort not previously available.
What if my eye moves during treatment?
ActiveTrak continuously positions the laser beam precisely on the eye throughout the procedure for accuracy. ActiveTrak realigns itself between each pulse ensuring pinpoint accuracy.
Do all lasers have eye trackers?
No, not every laser on the market has an eye tracker. At Manhattan Lasik Center ®, we use the ActiveTrak system because it is the most advanced eye-tracking technology available. This new technology makes older eye-tracking technology – which requires dilation – virtually obsolete.
Has anyone ever gone blind as a result of LASIK surgery?
Out of millions of procedures performed worldwide over the last 10 years, there are no documented cases of anyone losing sight as result of LASIK.
Are there any risks involved with LASIK?
Like any other medical procedure, LASIK does carry some risk. A few of the potential risks include under-correction, over-correction, flap wrinkles, dry eyes, irritation, irregular astigmatism, night glare, starburst, halos, ghosting, shadowing, infection and inflammation. These complications are in most cases treatable with eye drops or a second procedure, and usually improve over time as the eye heals. Therefore, it is essential to follow up with all the post-LASIK appointments to diagnose and treat any complications in a timely fashion. For a more detailed list of risks involved with LASIK surgery, ask your physician on the day of your consultation. To view a sample consent form click here.

Effects of climatic change and eutrophication on the glacial relict, Mysis relicta, in Lough Neagh
1. The glacial relict, Mysis relicta, which occurs mainly in unproductive cold water habitats, shows increased mortality rates in temperatures above 16-18 degrees C. Using a 12-year data set the growth, mortality and fat stores of Mysis in Lough Neagh, an increasingly hypertrophic lake which lacks a thermal refuge and which is subject to warming, were investigated. 2. Mysis showed a significant reduction in fat stores on reaching sexual maturity, contrary to studies elsewhere. 3. The contributions of temperature and eutrophication (total phosphorus, chlorophyll-a concentrations) to growth, mortality and the timing and duration of developmental events were investigated by regression. 4. Water temperatures rose between 1994 and 2005 and the time when temperatures exceeded 16 degrees C doubled over this period. Juvenile and adult growth rates declined and the duration of the juvenile stage increased in warmer years. Eutrophication also affected these variables but, in general, to a lesser extent than temperature. 5. Year class strength (YCS) declined by a factor of 10 over the study period. YCS was independent of temperature up to 2000 degrees C degree days (> 4 degrees C) but declined steeply above that point. Temperature was more important than eutrophication in predicting mortality and YCS. YCS was positively correlated with the length of time water temperature was below 7 degrees C, the upper temperature for Mysis breeding. 6. An established bioenergetic model predicted that water temperature and the timing of embryo release would have appreciable effects on Mysis viability. It also indicated that Mysis would lose mass at summer temperatures, consistent with the observed fat decline.

Using a 12-year data set the growth, mortality and fat stores of Mysis in Lough Neagh, an increasingly hypertrophic lake which lacks a thermal refuge and which is subject to warming, were investigated. 2. Mysis showed a significant reduction in fat stores on reaching sexual maturity, contrary to studies elsewhere. 3. The contributions of temperature and eutrophication (total phosphorus, chlorophyll-a concentrations) to growth, mortality and the timing and duration of developmental events were investigated by regression. 4. Water temperatures rose between 1994 and 2005 and the time when temperatures exceeded 16 degrees C doubled over this period. Juvenile and adult growth rates declined and the duration of the juvenile stage increased in warmer years. Eutrophication also affected these variables but, in general, to a lesser extent than temperature. 5. Year class strength (YCS) declined by a factor of 10 over the study period. YCS was independent of temperature up to 2000 degrees C degree days (> 4 degrees C) but declined steeply above that point. Temperature was more important than eutrophication in predicting mortality and YCS. YCS was positively correlated with the length of time water temperature was below 7 degrees C, the upper temperature for Mysis breeding. 6. An established bioenergetic model predicted that water temperature and the timing of embryo release would have appreciable effects on Mysis viability. It also indicated that Mysis would lose mass at summer temperatures, consistent with the observed fat decline.

Arden Wood Shavings is delighted to be sponsoring a promising young Para Dressage rider who has aspirations to reach the very top of her sport.
Sixteen year-old Ashleigh Jones has suffered from Cerebral Palsy since birth, but despite her challenging condition, is proving to be one Britain's most talented and determined young Para Dressage riders.
Ashleigh, from South Birmingham, is currently the youngest member on the British Equestrian Federation's Excel Talent Programme; an initiative which recognises and develops talented riders offering potential to represent the UK at the highest level in the future. And Ashleigh's success in the saddle has earned her scholarship from the Government funded Talented Athletes Scheme (TASS) which provides assistance towards coaching fees. Ashleigh receives regular training from Maria Eilberg as part of the Excel Talent Squad.
Her many achievements to date include wins at the RDA National Championships, Hickstead Qualifiers, International 2* events not to mention the winner's honours at last year's Talent Spotting contest at Vale View. These achievements are made all the more impressive given that Ashleigh has right sided Hemiplegia which affects her entire right side of her body with reduced function in her right leg, foot, arm and hand.
Arden, also based in the Midlands, now steps into offer further support to Ashleigh and her talented eight year old Dutch Warmblood mare, Aranka (known as Polly) through the provision of Safemix Equestrian bedding – an ultra-clean blend of high quality, dust-extracted wood shavings and shredded soft woodfibre which is proving extremely popular with professional and recreational horse owners alike.
Ashleigh certainly is determined to make it to the pinnacle of her sport. Her ambition is to get onto the World Class programme and ultimately earn a place in the UK Para squad for the 2016 Olympics.


Following the success of the Retrobörse in Vienna from 2009 to 2017, Austria's capital will see its ninth Börse on SATURDAY, 1st December 2018. Like the previous one, this Börse will be held in the Längenfeldgasse 13 – 15, 1120 Vienna. Doors will open at 11 am and close at 4 pm. Entrance fee is only 5 Euros.


2014 was another banner year for the WSOP, as the event set records in overall player attendance (82,360 entries) and prize money ($227,712,923). After a giant year like this, it almost seems like the WSOP can't get any bigger. However, there's always room for improvement, and the 2015 WSOP figures to be the largest poker event ever, due to the following three reasons.
If ever there were a telltale sign that the 2015 WSOP is going to be huge, it's that the preregistration record for the event has been crushed. "We have more preregistration than in the past five years combined," said Executive Director Ty Stewart. Unfortunately, Stewart did not give an exact figure on the number of preregistrations; however, considering how many people have played over the past five years, it's a pretty good bet that the amount of players preregistering is astronomical.
A huge reason why the preregistration record has been set is due to the Colossus, a $500 buy-in tournament with a $5 million guaranteed prize pool. Many poker news outlets already predicted that the Colossus would be the largest poker tournament ever, with around 15,000 players. However, these figures need to be revised in a big way since it's now believed that up to 25,000 players could be seated for the event. Assuming this number is accurate, that would mean a $12.5 million prize pool on the line, which isn't bad for just a $500 buy-in!
Okay, pretty simple point here, but still one worth mentioning: the 2015 WSOP, with its 68 bracelet events, will feature more tournaments than ever. This is just a matter of more tourneys meaning extra players coming to the Rio. And there'll also be more low buy-in events, which have proven very effective at drawing the crowds. We won't know exactly how large the 2015 WSOP will be until the middle of July. However, based on what's been discussed here, it's almost a given that this year is going to be the biggest in the event's history.

Two friends planning a 5 day road trip to the Western Highlands (from Edinburgh). Would love suggestions on "must see" options, awesome places to stay/eat/drink, etc. We are looking to do some light hiking, so great options for hikes would be appreciated. Here are some of the places we're thinking about visiting, but we're definitely open to suggestions from those who have been before!
Day 1 - Edinburgh (tour around city including Castle and Greyfriar Kirk, etc.) - what are other must see options?
Day 2 - Drive to Glencoe area. Would love suggestions on best route / things to see along the way?
Day 3 - Tour around Glencoe / Fort William eventually making our way up to Mallaig for ferry across to Isle of Skye.
Day 4 - Tour around Skye. Some options include The Storr, The Quiraing, Kilt Rock, Neist Point, Dunvegan Castle.
Day 5 - Drive Skye to Inverness. Would love suggestions on best route / things to see along the way?
Would appreciate thoughts on this itinerary. Suggestions are most welcome!
For Edinburgh, a tour of the castle grounds is included in the ticket price and there are staff on hand to answer all types of questions. Also, for a few extra pounds you can get the audio guide on entry. Mercat Tours does a walking tour of the Old Town and castle and which incorporates fast-track entry to the castle.
When driving to Glencoe, it's great to make a stop off at Stirling (great views from the castle) or beautiful Loch Lomond & the Trassachs on the way.


Granite is understandably a favourite material when renovations of kitchens are considered. With the undisputed advantages of resistance to scratching and resistance to heat it is the best material in kitchen ambiences. Granite worktops retain their quality and sleek stain free finish even after repeated cutting and placing hot pans or other cooking vessels on them. In fact, kitchen knives risk becoming dull if repeatedly used for cutting straight on granite worktops surfaces – so hard its surface is.
It is important to maintain granite worktops in good condition by regular cleaning. The surfaces of granite slabs are sealed before processing begins, so cleaning with soap and water is enough to keep worktops and other granite surfaces clean and stain free. To take proper care of granite surfaces, it is recommended to have them resealed after the first year of use, and then repeat the resealing in three to five year periods.
As for stains, although granite does not hold stains, oil spilling can cause a problem, so it is recommended to wipe spilt oil as soon as possible, to prevent any hassles. Furthermore, in general granite is heat resistant, and this resistance is higher with darker granite. After hot pans have been placed on granite worktops, it is important to avoid touching the spot as it absorbs the heat and can cause burning.
In addition to expensive offers on luxury granite worktops, floors, bathrooms, etc., there are also budget offers for granite refacing of counters and cabinets, especially in kitchens. The low cost of such options is due to the fact that the material used is finely ground granite mixed with resin and fitted in molds to form slabs. This method is gaining an increasingly wider popularity, in situations which require economising, as a budget alternative for renovations in kitchens by having granite worktops and cabinet doors refaced with this budget granite. The process of executing orders for kitchen tops, floors, bathrooms, etc. is the same: first measurements are taken, then the slabs are prepared. Customers who order resurfacing of larger areas can ask for discounts, as companies supplying granite resurfacing services offer different incentives. Furthermore, this type of granite sheeting is offered with a lifetime warranty. If a home renovated with such discount granite tops is transferred to new owners, they become entitled to this warranty as well. There is one more advantage with respect to discount granite surfaces: they do not need to be sealed. Otherwise, discount granite surfaces are as heat resistant as luxury granite surfaces.


A NSW woman is campaigning to change the law so that her brother who killed their parents cannot inherit half their estate.
The brother was found not guilty of the killing for mental health reasons. The woman fears that the verdict leaves him open to inheriting half their parents' estate.
So, does the law really say that someone who kills their parents or spouse can inherit their money?
Under our common law, a person who kills another is prevented from benefiting from the crime. This is known as the forfeiture rule.
The effect of the rule is that an offender can't take an inheritance from their victim's estate and so one cannot murder one's parents or spouse and still expect to inherit. However, the rule does not apply in circumstances where the person who kills another is found not guilty by reason of mental illness.
This exception to the rule developed because the community is not ordinarily taken to be outraged by a person who is so affected by mental illness as to have lost the insight into his or her actions.
Having said this, the Forfeiture Act 1995 (NSW) gives the Supreme Court discretion to apply the forfeiture rule as if such an offender has been found guilty of murder, where justice requires it.
Who can apply for a forfeiture application order?
Section 11 of the Act provides that any interested person may apply for a forfeiture application order. Under this section, in determining whether justice requires the forfeiture rule be applied, the court must have regard to the conduct of the offender, the conduct of the deceased person, the impact of the rule on the offender and other persons, and other matters that may be material.
The common factors in the cases finding in favour of the rule being applied appear to be the unprovoked nature of the attacks, the offender's voluntary conduct leading up to the killing, a lack of contrition and a prior history of violent behaviour.
So, a person who kills another but is found not guilty by reason of mental illness is still entitled to inherit from the victim's estate, unless a forfeiture application order is sought and then the outcome is a matter of judicial discretion.
When the Forfeiture Act was introduced, the government considered it was important that discretion be exercised, recognising that there are situations where it is appropriate for the rule to apply and others where to do so would produce injustice.
The NSW woman is fighting her case in the Supreme Court. Her petition on the website Change.org seeks to change the wording from "not guilty of murder by reason of mental illness" to "guilty of murder by reason of mental illness", and to have a criminal conviction recorded.

New Album "Dancing Shadows"
New Album "DANCING SHADOWS" released! 2020 tour booking now!
An Americana Tour de Force with bona fide Southern swagger, Martha Fields brings her ghosts to life in her new album "DANCING SHADOWS" . Martha illuminates her past and present in this ambitious project - 14 songs and 2 continents, awash in dark and moody tones, saturated with strong, defiant characters, overflowing with grit and soul, sprinkled with the occasional honky tonk respite, all generously infused with her own authentic southern groove.
Carving her own route through the "Americana" terrain of folk, blues, country, rock and bluegrass, Martha recorded with her touring, dream team of musicians at the top of their craft. Manu Bertrand, Serge Samyn, Urbain Lambert, Olivier Leclerc and Denis Bielsa - all able to equally render the bittersweet beauty of her ballads as well as the bodacious bluesy and rocking repetoire. With dobro, lap steel, guitar, slide, double bass, violin, drums and the occasional mandolin and pedal steel, her band perfectly compliment her emotionally charged vocals with their stellar playing. Monica Taylor (the Cimmaron Songbird) and Travis Fite, both Okies with Cherokee blood, provide luscious harmonies. With her musical roots running deep in both Appalachia and Texas, Martha and her superb band take you on a passionate, soulful, winding voyage through the American South.
"SOUTHERN WHITE LIES" was the #2 CD of 2016 on the EuroAmericana Chart and is available NOW. (Purchase below).
Rolling Stone says "Everything we love" "Impressive!" - Scotland's largest newspaper The Herald. "Musical Magic - a DREAM TEAM - R2. "Classic Country Twang and Powerful Vocal". - Maverick
"SOUTHERN WHITE LIES" is an Americana tapestry that weaves together her Appalachian birthright, soul and struggles. Martha's voice and songs are both intimate and powerful – taking listeners on a twangy - heart-pounding ride through a range of country, blues, folk and bluegrass, steered by a band with extremely impressive acoustic chops. A Southern Gothic Folk Opera searching for self-discovery, a sense of place, veracity and Martha's musical taproot. The album is filled with mature mountain twang, crackerjack dobro, fiddle, banjo, guitar, resonator, mandolin and double bass - awash with beautiful harmonies and backing vocals throughout.
Southern White Lies CD Soul on the Move (Track 1 - Southern White Lies)
"A must have album that gives you an honest musical orgasm !!! Straight to the top of the Americana / blues / roots scene" (Beale Street). Evoking the expressive power or Guthrie, Dylan or Lucinda ...every song come from the heart. (Roots Highway). Loretta Lynn would be proud. Martha has set the benchmark very high. (Rocking Magpie)
Martha's Americana CD "LONG WAY FROM HOME" was #17 on the FAR chart for 4 months in 2015. All original compositions, a real Americana soundtrack - country, country rock, Texas boogie and folk. The CD received universally positive reviews.
Long Way from Home CD
"Just when you thought Country music had lost it's edge, Texas Martha sounding a bit like Lucinda Williams country cousin, fronting the Tennessee Three, has come along and not just blown the dust off of our beloved Country music, but given it a hefty kick up the backside at the same time".(A. Harrison, The Rocking Magpie).
"All the songs were written by Martha, who plays her part with determination and conviction, freshness and an obvious deep love for these sounds. It is this spirit that pervades all ten songs, making the album a success and one of the most enjoyable in recent times. We experience an alternation of truly reflective, poetic and solid honky tonk, united by the common denominator of the talent and warmth of Texas Martha. This band is a must to mark in your agenda and see in concert (Remo Ricalone, Lonestar Times)

This Spigen was the first case that I bought. At launch time, there weren't many cases that were ready to ship. A lot of them were available as pre-orders. In the past, I've found that TPU cases tend not to be as snug as I'd like. I don't like it when you can easily pull a case off the phone. I feel like that would allow for small things to get in between the case and phone, then you end up with scratches. This one is a little stiffer than the other TPU cases I've seen. Still, it's not as snug as I'd like.
I thought I wanted a clear case but I don't think it looks good on my space gray iPhone. It does look good on the white and gold iPhone though. This is what my wife has on her phone. She doesn't care about the particulars nearly as much as I do. As long as it protects the phone from abuse then she's good. It does a pretty good job resisting scratches.
It's thick enough to endure a drop. I'm not saying you can drop it off your balcony and expect your phone to still be in tact, but it'll withstand a fall from your lap. The lip comes up enough for you to place the phone face down.

Q: Compile latex from python I have made some python function for compiling passed string as pdf file using latex. The function works as expected and has been quite useful, therefore I look for ways to improve it.
The code which I have:
def generate_pdf(pdfname,table):
    """
    Generates the pdf from string
    """
    import subprocess
    import os

    f = open('cover.tex','w')
    tex = standalone_latex(table)
    f.write(tex)
    f.close()

    proc=subprocess.Popen(['pdflatex','cover.tex'])
    subprocess.Popen(['pdflatex',tex])
    proc.communicate()
    os.unlink('cover.tex')
    os.unlink('cover.log')
    os.unlink('cover.aux')
    os.rename('cover.pdf',pdfname)

The problem with the code is that it creates bunch of files named cover in the working directory which afterwards are removed.
How to avoid of creating unneeded files at the working directory?
Solution
def generate_pdf(pdfname,tex):
"""
Genertates the pdf from string
"""
import subprocess
import os
import tempfile
import shutil

current = os.getcwd()
temp = tempfile.mkdtemp()
os.chdir(temp)

f = open('cover.tex','w')
f.write(tex)
f.close()

proc=subprocess.Popen(['pdflatex','cover.tex'])
subprocess.Popen(['pdflatex',tex])
proc.communicate()

os.rename('cover.pdf',pdfname)
shutil.copy(pdfname,current)
shutil.rmtree(temp)

A: Use a temporary directory. Temporary directories are always writable and can be cleared by the operating system after a restart. tempfile library lets you create temporary files and directories in a secure way.
path_to_temporary_directory = tempfile.mkdtemp()
# work on the temporary directory
# ...
# move the necessary files to the destination
shutil.move(source, destination)
# delete the temporary directory (recommended)
shutil.rmtree(path_to_temporary_directory)

Vasyl Lomachenko returns to BoxNation on Saturday 8th December when he bids to unify World Titles for the first time.
NEW CUSTOMER OFFER: Buy BoxNation before December 8th to receive Vasyl Lomachenko v Jose Pedraza as part of your free month.
The brilliant WBA Lightweight and Ring Magazine Champion clashes with Puerto Rican WBO titlist Jose Pedraza in New York at Madison Square Garden Theater.
Despite having only had 12 professional contests, he is pound-for-pound king for many observers and he could become the greatest boxer of all time given his amazing talent.
"I am ready to fight an excellent opponent like Jose Pedraza," Lomachenko (11-1, 9 KOs) said. "My goal has always been to unify the titles, and Pedraza is standing in my way.
"There is something special about fighting in New York City and at Madison Square Garden. The fans in New York City are true boxing fans, and I can't wait to put on another spectacular performance for them."
Pedraza (25-1, 12 KOs) is a former IBF World Super-Featherweight Champion, but lost that belt in his third defence against Gervonta Davis in January 2017.
He moved up to Lightweight and won the WBO 135lb live on 'The Channel of Champions' in August after upsetting Ray Beltran.
Pedraza, 29, said: "I am grateful to have this opportunity, since I didn't get the chance to unify titles when I was champion in the Junior-Lightweight division.
"In this division, I will achieve my goal, and I will do it against one of the best boxers in the world. There will be a surprise on December 8th."
Lomachenko, 30, is widely considered to be the greatest amateur boxer in history, as he posted a 396-1 record with Olympic gold medals for his native Ukraine in 2008 and 2012.
In the pro ranks, he has continued to make history. He equalled a record by winning a World Title in his third pro bout in January 2014, a clear points win against Gary Russell Jr to claim the vacant WBO Featherweight crown.
He made three defences of that title before moving up to 130 pounds. In his debut at that weight, Lomachenko knocked out Roman Martinez to claim the WBO Super-Featherweight bauble.
Following the Martinez bout, Lomachenko began a streak of four consecutive opponents – Nicholas Walters, Jason Sosa, Miguel Marriaga, and Guillermo Rigondeaux – retiring on their stools, to earn the nickname 'NoMasChenko'.
Lomachenko moved up in weight again to challenge WBA Champion Jorge Linares in May and overcame adversity during a Fight of the Year contender.
He suffered a tear of his right shoulder in the second round and was knocked down with a right hand in the sixth, only to come back and stop Linares with a left hand to the body in the 10th round.
The Linares victory signified another milestone for Lomachenko. In becoming a three-weight World Champion in 12 professional fights, he broke the previous record set by Jeff Fenech (20 fights) in 1988.
London based Isaac 'Royal Storm' Dogboe will make the second defence of his WBO Super-Bantamweight Title against Emanuel Navarrete in the chief support to Loma's big night at MSG.
"Put me among the best, and you'll see the best of Isaac 'Royal Storm' Dogboe," Dogboe roared.
"We love the New York crowd. That's what will motivate us and make us fight harder. Madison Square Garden is a legendary place. It's a place where many fighters were made.
"Lomachenko and Pedraza are great fighters and being featured on a show with other great fighters is an honour. We are ready to roll. And to my fans, trust me, the 'Royal Storm' is coming to entertain!"
Dogboe (20-0, 14 KOs) has become one of boxing's stars of 2018 that has him on the shortlist for Fighter of the Year honours.
In April he upset Jessie Magdaleno in Philadelphia, recovering from a first-round knockdown to batter the American defending champion en route to an 11-round stoppage to claim his world crown.
Dogboe knocked out the normally durable Hidenori Otake in the opening round in his first defence in August.
Navarrete (25-1, 22 KOs), a 23-year-old from Mexico City, is one of the 122-pound division's KO Kings.
He has won 20 consecutive bouts since a four-round decision loss and is riding an eight-fight knockout streak.
Exciting Lightweight prospect Teofimo Lopez takes on the most notable opponent of his career when he fights Mason Menard.
21-year-old Lopez (10-0, 8 KOs), represented his parents' home country of Honduras in the 2016 Olympic Games, but boxes out of Brooklyn.
Menard (34-3, 24 KOs), 30, has faced Ray Beltran and Devin Haney in his last four contests, but suffered stoppage defeats in both.
