Sony announces WF-1000XM4 – the latest truly wireless model in the critically acclaimed 1000X series. The WF-1000XM4 headphones take industry-leading noise cancelling  and audio quality to the next level. Made to fit every ear, they offer a personalised experience that adjust to every situation.
Specially developed by Sony, the Integrated Processor V1 takes the noise cancellation performance of Sony’s acclaimed QN1e chip and goes even further. Improved noise cancelling performance and Bluetooth® ‘System on Chip’ technology delivers the industry’s highest level of noise cancelling yet uses less power than its predecessor. The WF-1000XM4 features high performance dual noise sensor microphones for excellent noise cancellation. By having two noise sensing microphones per ear – one feed-forward, and one feed-back – ambient noise is heard and analysed, resulting in highly accurate noise cancellation.

A newly designed 6mm driver unit with a 20% increase in magnet volume also improves the WF-1000XM4’s noise cancelling capabilities. The increase in magnet volume and the high compliance diaphragm gives improved performance in low frequencies and enhances noise cancelling by generating a high-precision cancellation signal to the low frequency range.

Sony WF-1000XM4

Newly-developed Noise Isolation Earbud Tips provide an improved fit with the WF-1000XM4. The new earbud tips are made from a unique polyurethane foam material that is soft and elastic, which maximises the surface contact area between the earbud tip and the ear canal. This eliminates gaps to insulate sound and reduce noise, as well as improving adhesion to the ear canal for a more stable fit. Even on windy days you’ll stay totally immersed. Automatic Wind Noise Reduction mode detects when it’s windy and automatically suppresses it.

The WF-1000XM4 now supports High-Resolution Audio Wireless, thanks to LDAC, Sony’s industry-adopted audio coding technology. LDAC transmits approximately three times more data (at the maximum transfer rate of 990 kbps) than conventional Bluetooth® audio, allowing you to enjoy High-Resolution Audio content in exceptional quality, as close as possible to that of a dedicated wired connection. Thanks to specially designed 6mm drivers, they reproduce a dynamic sound despite their small size, and the high compliance diaphragm reproduces a rich bass range. The Integrated Processor V1 also enhances sound quality and reduces distortion, and enables LDAC codec processing and DSEE Extreme™.

Using Edge-AI, DSEE Extreme™  (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed digital music files in real time. Dynamically recognising instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of each song, such as vocals or interludes, it restores the high-range sound lost in compression for a richer, more complete listening experience.

Speak-to-Chat received widespread praise for its innovation when it was first introduced on the overhead model, the WH-1000XM4. The feature is now available on the WF-1000XM4 and lets you have short conversations without taking out the earbuds . As soon as you speak to someone, Speak-to-Chat automatically pauses the music and lets in ambient sound so you can conduct a conversation – handy if you want to keep your headphones on, or your hands are full. Once your chat is over, your music starts playing again automatically . Speak-to-Chat recognises and reacts to your voice. It is based on Precise Voice Pickup Technology, which combines four microphones and sensors with advanced audio signal processing.

Sony WF-1000XM4

‘Quick Attention’ mode is available on the WF-1000XM4 so if you want to listen to an announcement or say something briefly, you simply place your finger over the left earbud to decrease the volume instantly and let ambient sound in. The WF-1000XM4 also feature Adaptive Sound Control, a smart feature that senses where you are and what you’re doing – for example, travelling, walking or waiting – then adjusts ambient sound settings for the ideal listening experience. You can opt to have Adaptive Sound Control learn to recognise places that you frequently visit, like your office, the gym, or a favourite café, and tailor sound to suit the situation.

Hands-free calling is even better on the WF-1000XM4 thanks to Precise Voice Pickup Technology. Combining Precise Voice Pickup Technology with the microphones and a bone-conduction sensor, the WF-1000XM4 picks up your voice clearly and accurately for hands-free calls. Beamforming microphones are calibrated to only pick up sounds from your mouth. With an improved signal-to-noise ratio they’ll catch every word, even when there’s a lot of noise around you. Additionally, the new bone-conduction sensor only picks up vibrations from your voice – it doesn’t register ambient sound – enabling even clearer speech when making calls. The Noise Cancelling adds to your calling experience on the WF-1000XM4 as it allows you to hear the person on the other end of the call more clearly, even in noisy situations.

You can now find the right fit for your ears with the Sony | Headphones Connect App. The app takes you through a few simple measurements to find the ideal size of Noise Isolation earbud tips  to ensure maximum sound quality and minimum outside noise. Now you can enjoy maximum comfort with great sound. The earphones have been redesigned to be 10% smaller than the previous generation, without compromising on sound quality or battery life. They are light weight, making them your perfect companion for long days out and about and the charging case is 40% smaller.

The WF-1000XM4 are perfect for watching TV shows, movies and more. The advanced wireless connection syncs what you see on screen precisely with what you hear on your headphones for more enjoyable viewing with low latency. The optimisation of the transmission algorithm with the Integrated Processor V1 has made the connection more stable and less prone to sound skipping, even in an environment where there is interference, which means the WF-1000XM4 provide a clearer and more stable Bluetooth® connection.
You can listen all day with the WF-1000XM4. You can enjoy a full 8 hours of use from your headphones, and a further 16 hours from the case. This means a full 24 hours of charge every time you leave your home. A 5-minute quick charge gives you up to 60 minutes of play time, and the Sony | Headphones Connect app will notify you when your charging case drops below 30%. No cables are necessary with the WF-1000XM4 thanks to easy wireless charging with Qi technology. You can even use a smartphone with Qi technology, like the latest Xperia model with the battery share function, to charge your headphones and charging case.

With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop the WF-1000XM4 – so you can keep on moving to the music. Whether you’re running for the bus in the rain, or sat in a cosy office, these headphones will have your back. The WF-1000XM4 feature intuitive touch control settings to have quick and easy control over your listening experience. Through the touch controls you can activate Noise Cancellation, Ambient Sound, Quick Attention mode or simply skip, pause or play songs.

Get hands-free help - just say “Hey Google” or “Alexa”  to activate your preferred voice assistant.  Enjoy entertainment, connect with friends, get information, listen to music and notifications, set reminders, and more. The WF-1000XM4 headphones support Google’s helpful new Fast Pair feature. In one tap, the WF-1000XM4 enable quick, effortless Bluetooth pairing with your Android devices. Google’s Fast Pair feature lets you easily locate your headphones and also let you know when you’ve left the battery on and how much charge is left. The headphones also come with Microsoft Swift Pair, which makes it easy to connect with Windows 10 devices.

360 Reality Audio, a new immersive audio experience, can be enjoyed on the WF-1000XM4 headphones when combined with an Android™ smartphone/iPhone that has a participating streaming services app installed . The 360 Reality Audio listening experience immerses you in the music as if you are right in front of your favourite artist. Listeners can enjoy a custom immersive musical field that is perfectly optimised for each individual user when using the WF-1000XM4 headphones and the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app .

The WF-1000XM4 will be available in Black and Silver in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from Mid of July 2021. The pre-booking is available at a retail price of SAR 1,299 also including a complementary wireless charging pad. This offer is valid until 4 July.

Students see green: Mock spill illustrates potential impact of wastewater leak

By Matt Carroll

SNOW SHOE TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Bright green water swirled around Mariah Airey’s boots as it made its way into Black Moshannon Creek.

A freshman at State College Area High School, Airey watched as green dye trickled down a tributary, mixed with the clear water in the creek and then rushed downstream.

A group of State High students participated in a mock spill event last week simulating what might happen if a contaminate spill reached the stream.

Speaker to discuss health data with respect to Marcellus Shale development May 7

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Brian Schwartz, professor at Johns Hopkins University and senior investigator in the Department of Epidemiology and Health Services Research at Geisinger, will speak at Penn State on health data related to Marcellus Shale development.

Schwartz will talk from 4 to 5 p.m. Monday, May 7, in 112 Walker Building. His presentation, titled “Does Unconventional Natural Gas Development Affect Human Health,” is free and open to the public. The event is part of the EarthTalks series, sponsored by Penn State’s Earth and Environmental Systems institute (EESI).

Data driven dialogue: Scientists bring groups together on water quality concerns

By Matt Carroll

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — It’s been a decade since the start of the Marcellus Shale gas boom in Pennsylvania, and today more than 10,000 unconventional gas wells dot the state’s hills and valleys.

The industry’s rapid development created economic opportunities for many, but also brought environmental concerns, and sometimes led to contentious conversations.

A team of researchers studying water quality around hydraulic fracturing, the process used to extract gas from rock deep underground, have found a blueprint to move those conversations forward.

Snapshot Day brings Pennsylvania water quality into focus

By Matt Carroll

SHEFFIELD, Pa. — Bill Eckert slipped into his hip waders and splashed through the small stream near his cabin in the Allegheny National Forest.

He didn’t bring his fishing pole this time. Instead, Eckert bent down and let the cold water fill the assorted bottles he carried.

Eckert was among a few dozen volunteers collecting water samples that could help researchers develop a clearer picture of water quality in Pennsylvania.

TeenShale Network gears up for another year

Local high school students stepped back into their hip waders and ventured into the cool, rushing water of Black Moshannon Creek this week.

The students are part of TeenShale Network, an ongoing water quality monitoring run by Penn State's Earth and Environmental Systems Institute.

TeenShale gives State College Area School District students a chance to learn real science alongside professionals. Their work collecting samples also leads to better baseline data about the state's waterways.

2017 Shale Network workshop brings diverse group together for water quality discussions

The Shale Network held its sixth annual workshop May 18 and 19 at the Penn State University Park Campus, and in State College, Pa. The workshop again drew a large, diverse group of participants interested in water quality around the Marcellus Shale drilling region in Pennsylvania.

Representatives from academia, government agencies, energy industries, environmental groups joined citizen scientists and high school students and teachers during the two-day event.

In The Jersey Shore

I have a dark secret that I must now share with you all.

I very much enjoy The Jersey Shore. Unironically.

Shocking, I know. I can just tell, though, that a few of the people there are completely aware of how ridiculous everything is, chiefly the runt of the group, Vinny. It probably didn't hurt that tonight they cavorted in their own promos with Michael Cera, doing his tour circuit for the new movie Youth In Revolt, or for that matter that just yesterday I discovered this video in which The Situation, Snookie and Pauly D openly show they comprehend their show's place at the back of the artistic bus (to descending degrees, in order).

As much as I hate stupid reality T.V. and stupid assholes who don't understand that they're only entertaining in an ironic way, post-post-modernly the only people who don't know not to take themselves seriously, it seems like these individuals go above and beyond the typical Real World dissociation. Rather, these people are, well, people. They have (varying measures of) depth. They have feelings, damn it. Real feelings that are based on the facts of the situations at hand and not (usually) how much money they're going to make from MTV.

Worse yet, I'm watching this like it's an anthropology study. Legitimately, these people seem to understand that faux-tans, blowouts, Ed Hardy and bad dye-jobs are only considered even remotely stylish by the people in that exact area of the world, however it just happens to be what they like aesthetically, and they seem very tolerant of others based off that. They are like the kids in high school who always went to Warped Tour instead of homecoming. They know it's not universally cool, but it's cool among the people they like to hang out with. They have their own values and rules and styles and so long as you let them do their moshing or their skanking or their fist pumping they're okay with you doing whatever the hell it is you do instead of going to the gym every morning.

Simply put, a cataract is a clouding in the lens of the eye. Your lenses start out clear and over time develop clouded vision similar to looking through a fogged-up or frosted window. Typically, a cataract develops gradually as protein structures within the lens change.

Early in the onset of cataracts, your vision won’t be disturbed. But if left untreated, cataracts make many simple tasks more difficult.

Cataracts become more prominent as a person ages and are easily diagnosed by Dr. Pesavento, who examines your eyes with specialized viewing equipment.

The most notable of cataract symptoms is trouble reading or driving a car at night. In many instances, improved lighting and eyeglasses pacify the effects of cataracts. But as cataracts worsen, your everyday life is affected and surgery is likely necessary.

In a cataract surgery, the lens is removed and replaced with an artificial one.  This can often reduce your dependence on glasses and contacts as well.  Cataract surgery is a safe and effective outpatient procedure, which means you won’t have to stay in the hospital overnight after the surgery. Each cataract surgery isn’t one-size-fits-all. At Southside Center for Sight, we tailor customized procedures for each of our patients, ensuring you’re getting the right care and treatment for your eyes.

Be sure to contact us if you feel cataracts might be affecting you and your quality of life.

PRESENTATION: What is Hypertext?

June 17th, 2011 § 0 comments

Abstract: Literary hypertext theory has petered out in the last decade, giving way to studies on narrative in computer games, and narrative generation through social media outlets. With the current mass digitalization of texts into proprietary databases such as Google Books, ECCO, and EEBO, it is time to reconsider what it means for a text to be hypertextual, in order to turn digitization into something useful above being a representation of paper on screen. This paper will explore a new methodology for approaching hypertext and how this can facilitate our understanding of literary texts.

Pallas Athene: The Last Hot Phase of the Ascension

Gabriele Schmitz, October 28, 2021

Transcript of the Message

How happy I am when you await my messages. I am Pallas Athena and I greet you from the etheric realm above the island of Crete. The moment you listen to my words or read my words, you are connected to me and you clearly feel this intense connection that arises between us. You recognise my energy of love that I give you. You also feel how uplifting the messages are for you and for all of you. It is a great joy for me to bring you these messages, for we have already told you in many messages that we are with you in this last hot phase of Ascension that is about to manifest.

We see your impatience, we feel with you, we feel how important it is for you that things manifest now. But those of you who are sensitive, know very well how much has already manifested. So look back at the last video that was recorded 4 weeks ago and notice all that has happened with you, in your environment and with yourself.

Massive energies are pouring out of the Primordial Sun via Helios and Vesta, your Sun Star in this Universe and it is doing so much to you, to each and every one of you and of course to Mother Earth, and so you hear in your news, in the videos that are being made, even on live cams you can experience it, how much Mother Earth is active.

This is all going to increase in the time to come. We have already told you that Mother Earth is going to change her appearance completely and the time is getting closer and closer and the obvious is apparent to you if you are sensitive.

Therefore, at this point we would like to admonish you to observe yourselves, to go within and listen to your inner voice and intuition. It will guide you. At the right moment, if you listen to it, you will be in the right place according to your soul plan as it shows itself to you. This is an important message for you, for the Earth changes will now take place. No one will stop them, as I have said before. And you are part of that change. Therefore, trust the guidance from within you.

You should take time in the time ahead to see what impulses you receive. Are you in the right place where you are? You will feel impulses within if you should change where you are. Listen carefully to what your inner being has to say to you! Connect, as we have said, through your Higher Self. It knows your divine plan and it will now be fulfilled. So pay attention to what you perceive in the form of the inner voice that may speak, in the form of dreams that show themselves to you or simply through an impulse that you receive. And then please check what you perceive. Ask for clarification if that is what you are meant to do and you will receive that guidance. You can align yourself in silent awareness, in your meditations or by being in nature. We have already told you all this. It is now more important than ever to do just that. You will receive the guidance. It is important for you to follow these impulses that will come. When you receive a clear impulse, follow that impulse. That is our advice today.

Everything is happening according to the divine plan and according to the divine timing. The time is there and at any time Ascension can show itself through one event or through several.

We are not the ones who give the starting signal for this event. That is in divine hands. So trust that everything will manifest divinely. And so again my advice to you is to seek connection to Source. Nothing is more important than seeking connection to the Source in this moment. It will not let you go astray. The divine Source is what holds the decision for this entire ascension process. This plan is there and it is happening. Be in trust that it is and if you trust my words, and you show that by listening to them, by reading the words. No matter in which language they reach you, no matter in which place on earth. I am always in touch with you, with each one of you, when you hear or read my words. Trust in that. And you may also ask for my help at any time. I am now fulfilling this task with great joy. I have an important task in this process, as I have already told you and as some have already recognised. So be guided by my words.

And so great is the joy in my heart when you find me, when you resonate with me. This is a wonderful task for me and so I feel full of joy, full of love for you that I may now accompany you on the last metres. And may I also remind you that I have said that when the Karmic Council meets again in December, that events will then have clearly manifested for all of you.

So, time is short and so irrevocably now will come the times that you have known about for a long, long time. Ascension is happening. Mother Earth is with you and you too are receiving these energies that will enable you to take part in the Ascension. You are not here at this time for nothing. You have made the prenatal decision to be here now. And so may I remind you that the time to come is the time that you have worked towards, not just in this lifetime. Many lifetimes you have been preparing to be here now and to experience it all, for it brings you into freedom. It brings you into a whole new dimension. It brings you into perfect love and into Oneness.

You will find guidance throughout this process and when things manifest in such a way that they are visible to everyone, you will receive the guidance that you need. All is prepared. You are not alone. You have the teachers, you have the guides. You can always ask for answers that will come to you. That is the good news for today! Look forward each day to what is coming your way.

The New Earth will show itself and that will make you happy in a way that you as a soul have never expected, never experienced before. And so rejoice in these few days that lie ahead of you until what I have announced to you shows itself, that we in the Karmic Council are assessing the state of Mother Earth and all the inhabitants and that also includes the cosmic situation.

I would like to encourage you today with this message to have confidence in what is coming. Observe what wants to show itself within you and follow after you have made an examination of it. Trust what is shown to you, trust your feelings and you will always be in the right place at the right time.

My medium was put to the test for a long time today. We had a foggy situation this morning that made it impossible to shoot a video in the garden. And this is exactly what you perceive often enough on the outside. You have foggy situations, you sometimes lack perspective. On the outside, everything is done to prevent you from seeing through. But suddenly, within minutes, everything changes. The fog disappears and you have clarity. You recognise what is important for you. I want to remind you of that today.

Steroid Underground Lab Shut Down with Help of YMCA in Operation Bulk Up

  • Tweet

Mike Carroll, the President and CEO of Countryside YMCA in Lebanon (Ohio), kept a big secret for almost two years. He had alerted the Warren County Prosecutor’s Office of a rumor that there was a steroid dealer selling bodybuilding drugs to members in the Cardio Strength Center of the Y.

The prosecutor’s office alerted Major John Burke, the commander of the Warren County Drug Task Force, who spearheaded an investigation codenamed “Operation Bulk Up”. Major Burke dispatched an undercover officer from the Wilmington Police to pose as a member of the YMCA in search of steroids.

Mike Carroll was the only person at the YMCA who knew of the existence of an undercover officer seeking to infiltrate the steroid underground at the local Y. He received secret updates from the Drug Task Force every 4-6 months throughout the course of the two-year investigation. The tip ultimately led to the bust of a large-scale, multi-state steroid distribution organization.

At its conclusion, the Warren County Drug Task Force and the Warren County Prosecutor’s Office announced the indictments of thirty-two people involved in the steroid distribution ring. In total, the co-defendants faced 248 charges that included multiple counts of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, steroid trafficking and steroid possession.

The investigation focused on the manufacturers and distributors of anabolic steroids according to Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell. Steroid users were not the target of the investigation although officials did not hesitate to indicate that competitive bodybuilders and professional athletes were likely among the clients.

Law enforcement officials seized an estimated $600,000 worth of anabolic steroids, $300,000 in cash and vehicles and almost 100 weapons including assault rifles, shotguns and handguns.

“It’s pretty amazing the amount of firearms, and what this organization was doing, which was peddling its poison through out the country, to include Ohio and the Tri-state region,” said Cincinnati ATF Agent Jim Dier.

The size and scope of the steroid-related indictments and the presence of weapons did not deter the Countryside YMCA CEO from speaking openly with the media and taking credit for his role in bringing down the criminal steroid organization.

“It’s our desire to keep this kind of illicit activity out of the community and out of our facility,” Carroll told the press. “I’m delighted that it has culminated in a positive law enforcement action. I guess it takes time as it was my understanding that they were going after the manufacturers and traffickers. It was one of those things that one thing led to another that led to another.”

It took three months of lifting weights at the YMCA before the undercover agent was able to purchase steroids from a steroid dealer at the gym on April 10, 2010. By the end of the year, the dealer became a confidential informant for law enforcement.

This led them to a clandestine underground laboratory (UGL) in Tennessee that manufactured injectable anabolic steroids from raw steroid powders imported from China. Chemist Kenneth Freeman and Jason and Stephanie Sherill of Tullahoma and Kenneth Freeman of Manchester were arrested in connection with the UGL.

Batches of 400 vials of steroids were shipped from the UGL to Ronald Herbort in Ohio who was identified as the ringleader of the steroid distribution organization.

A secondary ringleader identified as Matthew Geraci is alleged to have been a primary distributor for Herbort. Geraci operated a seemingly legitimate business that involved a complex locker system in which buyers and sellers of steroids could deposit and swap steroids for cash while avoiding face-to-face interaction.

“Steroids would be put in your locker, you get a key to your locker, open it up, got your steroids out, put your money in and that’s how this operation started,” according to Major Burke.

Officials told reporters that the organization shipped steroids around the country in addition to selling them locally at the Countryside YMCA in Lebanon and the Urban Active gym in Deerfield Twp. The presence of steroids at these two gyms is clearly not an isolated event. Operation Bulk Up reveals how easily law enforcement can disrupt the steroid trade at any given commercial gym (at least temporarily) if given top priority.

Dunk Tank Training - How to survive a water landing

By Desiree Kocis Published June 5, 2017

Brace, brace, brace!” I repeated in my head. Knowing impact was imminent, I crossed my arms, gripped my hands neck-level to the top of my belt straps and dug my chin deep into my chest. I only managed one small, shallow breath before the plane flipped and rushing waters overtook me. My initial reaction was one of panic, but I knew that would only make things worse. Instead, I did my best to stay calm until the violent motion of the crash ceased. The wait felt like forever. When the movement finally stopped, I opened my eyes and was met by a sea of darkness. I felt around trying to orient myself. Keeping my left arm in the brace position, I ran my right hand down to my leg for reference and up to the rim of the panel in front of me. If I held onto that rim, I knew I could follow it down to the exit on the other side of the aircraft.

Pressing my feet firmly into the floorboard, I used my left hand to unlatch the seat belt and slowly began scooting toward the other door. My feet hit some kind of obstruction along the way. I had to lift them up and over it, taking care not to let them drag behind me. I needed to keep my bearings.

When I reached for the door, it wasn’t there. So, I curled the fingers of my right hand around its frame, pulled myself through and began swimming up to the surface of the water. Nineteen seconds. That’s how long it took from the moment water began flooding my sinuses to the moment I broke free on top. When I reached the surface, the wind, lightning and rain stopped, and the lights of the room were turned back on. I had successfully completed my final run in aircraft ditching and underwater egress training.

The two-day course, “General Emergency Duties,” is one of several offered at Survival Systems USA, Inc. (SSUSA) in Groton, Connecticut. I learned about it online and, always interested in ways to increase my safety as a single-engine private pilot, I was immediately intrigued. I just passed my checkride last year, so I’m fairly new in the aviation community. I figured this course was likely well-known and that others had either taken it or something similar to it elsewhere. After asking around, I was surprised to learn that not only was I wrong, but the only people I could find who had done something like this had only done so because they were forced to: their job required it.

I couldn’t understand. Why wouldn’t other pilots want to be voluntarily strapped into an aircraft, ditched in the water and flipped upside-down? Weird. Maybe it’s my string of bad luck, or the fact that I have two small children who like to create little survival scenarios around the house for me, or the fact that my day job operates out of an underground bunker, but I’m of the mindset that one can never be too prepared in life. I work in emergency management where our motto is, “Plan for the worst, hope for the best.” I started to wonder if maybe I was being silly to want to take this course, and whether it was really only beneficial to helicopter pilots, commercial pilots or pilots who spend a lot of time flying over water. I’m none of those. About the most I fly over water is for the occasional $100 hamburger run to Martha’s Vineyard, and I always stay in gliding distance to land. Beyond underwater egressing, the SSUSA course also covered topics such as hypoxia recognition, hypothermia mitigation, aircraft survival equipment use, crewmember emergency coordination and extinguishing fire in the cockpit. Day two involved training in first aid, CPR and AED. I spent some time weighing my doubts against my better-safe-than-sorry attitude. I also considered the fact that, even though I’m rarely over water, I fly fixed-gear planes, which have a bad habit of flipping when they do have to be ditched.

AHA Heartsaver

I could see no downside, so I and another brave pilot—a friend who passed her checkride around the same time as me—decided to go for it. To my relief, they don’t just throw you into the water and start dunking you. The first half of the day is spent in a classroom, where videos are watched, real-life survivor testimonials are heard, and safety techniques are discussed. Once you get out to the pool, they cover other items first, like proper use of a life preserver, deploying and boarding a raft, and techniques for open-water survival. When we moved on to aircraft ditching and egressing, they encouraged anyone with anxieties about it to go first. At the time, I was nervous, but not super-anxious, so I hung behind. Big mistake. When I started watching the other students going under, my anxiety levels shot through the roof. By the time they progressed onto the larger aircraft simulation device, all I could think was, “Nope.” Once it was my turn, I was a petrified mess. Instead of doing the Shallow Water Egress Trainer (aka, the “SWET Seat”) twice like most students, I had to do it four times—a couple extra until I could get it right.

Physically, I found the experience less challenging than I anticipated. Psychologically, however, the course was quite difficult for me. All of my insecurities came flooding back—I’m not good enough, not strong enough, not smart enough. I also had flashbacks to an accident I was in many years ago, one in which I had to escape from a smoke-filled car with a jammed door and multiple broken bones. I kept reminding myself that, while others in the course were there because they were required to be, I was there because I wanted to be. I could have left at anytime. Instead, I decided to play my emotions like I would a real emergency situation—and in a real situation, I couldn’t just close my eyes and make it all go away. I had to face it, deal with it, survive it. Climbing into the big blue Modular Egress Training Simulator (METS), I was first shown proper bracing methods during aircraft ditching. First, all loose items are tucked away, including seat belt straps. Next, the feet are placed flat on the floor and the thumbs are rolled to the outside of the controls to prevent hand injury. Right before impact, the chin is tucked into the chest and the body leaned into the straps. They also showed us alternate variations, such as the one I used during my final run.

The SSUSA course also covers CPR, hypoxia recognition, hypothermia mitigation, survival equipment use and extinguishing cockpit fires.

The two-day “General Emergency Duties” course is one of several offered at Survival Systems USA, Inc. (SSUSA) in Groton, Connecticut.

Underwater Escape

I looked up at the instructor in front of me and said, for the first time in my life, “I can’t do this.” “Yes, you can,” he reassured me. No, I can’t, I thought. “What are you most afraid of?” “I’m going to panic.” And I did. The first time we hit the water and flipped, I panicked and went straight for my seatbelt to unleash myself. My arms were flailing around looking for the door. There was nothing calm and methodical about my movements. I was all over the place. But I got better with each run and, surprisingly, the final one in the dark with gale-force winds, torrential rain and flashes of lightning was the one that scared me the least. By that point, I was finally getting a handle on things. More importantly, I was finally getting a handle on myself. The added elements were just distractions. While I contribute much of the reason I successfully completed the course to self-determination, I also owe part of my success to the exceptional staff. The instructor I was with calmed me and stayed right by my side the entire time. They had one instructor assigned to every two students, and an additional two divers in the water on either side of the simulator at all times. Everything was safe. Despite my fears, the only real danger I faced came from within. The big thing I learned was that panic gets you nowhere and, in fact, is the most dangerous thing one can do. Less than a week after taking the course, I met a pilot who had once flown a seaplane that cartwheeled upside-down on landing. Having trained in egress and regularly briefed herself on this kind of scenario, when water started filling the cabin and the plane began sinking, she was able to remain calm and rationally think her way through to safety. True, it’s likely that I’ll never be involved in a situation that requires me to escape a cockpit submerged underwater, but I’m confident that the skills I developed being placed in these scenarios have made me a safer pilot and more likely to survive if the worst ever does happen. So, no, it was definitely not silly for me to take this! A course in aircraft ditching and underwater egress techniques isn’t just useful to pilots—all pilots; it’s useful to anyone interested in learning what they can accomplish when they don’t let fear dictate their decisions.

History of the Clarinet: From past to present

Clarinets have been around for quite a long time, although not in their present form. The history of the clarinet goes as far back as the late 1600s, when an instrument known as a chalumeau was in occasional use in orchestras. The chalumeau is commonly considered to be a forerunner of our modern clarinet, although it bore little resemblance to the ones we play today.

The chalumeau was a cane pipe measuring about 20cm (about 9 inches) long. It had seven holes, including a thumb hole, and a range of not much more than an octave. The name chalumeau suggests a French origin for this little instrument. But it was Johann Denner, a leading German woodwind maker, who was credited with improving it, and in doing so inventing the early clarinet. Sometime around 1700, Denner added two keys to the chalumeau, expanding its range by giving it an upper register. He also may have given it a separate mouthpiece and reed.

The history of the clarinet continued to develop as two-keyed clarinets underwent a variety of improvements and were introduced to France and England. By about 1750, the clarinet body had taken the basic shape we see today, but the key work continued to evolve. In about 1780, five keys were being used. And by 1820 or 1830, clarinets were commonly in use that had 12 or 13 keys. By 1850 or so Boehm system key work had been introduced. This system, based on the key work then being used on the flute, managed to eliminated some very difficult fingerings. It is the system most commonly used today although Albert fingering systems are also still in use, primarily in Europe. In North America, it is rare to see a clarinet that does not use Boehm key work.

In the mid to late 1700s, composers had begun writing musical pieces that included, or were specifically written for, clarinets. The instrument became much more prominent in the 1800's, and large volumes of music were written for it in the early 1900's.

We will likely see continued minor changes, although it will probably happen very slowly, over decades. Today, there are minor variations in different models. Manufacturers use slightly different bore diameters and shapes, and occasionally additional keys. Most modern clarinets have 17 or 18 keys.

REVIEW: My House | Without Exception Live Productions

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Reviews, Theatre

Aug 6-30 | On Demand | Fringe Player | Get Tickets

In the same vein as the chicken and the egg I can’t help but wonder what came first: the house or the script. Because, well, DAMN! That is a fine house!

Set in, what I assume from the mass quantity of chick flicks I have seen, the mansion district of LA an incredible setting is established for the women of Hollywood throughout the ages and the men who have shaped their lives establishing them as empowered individuals.

But it’s not quite as simple as that, something mysterious, something surreptitious, something supernatural lies afoot.

Filmed in such a manner that creates an (almost) seamless single-shot production the audience bears witness to a story spanning across the ages of Hollywood from the early silent movie days of Charlie Chaplin to the present day where we find a badass female film producer.

The costumes and makeup are incredibly detailed adding to the storytelling in a way that completely absorbs you into this piece which spans the decades.

A feminist driven narrative, with some powerful performances makes for an interesting piece of devised theatre in which we can appreciate the triumphs and tribulations of the underrepresented women of Hollywood.

The Arts Business Top Tips:

  • Taking inspiration from the location and converting that space into an arts venue for your audience to explore adds another level to events and productions. I would love to know more about the research and development process of this piece, like who’s house is that? Is it an Air BnB? Can I come and stay? Without Expression Live Productions if you’re reading this then hit me up in the comments or drop me an email at, I would seriously love to learn more!

Taibbi: Good Foreclosure Deal Could Open the Door to Ending Up With Half of Wall Street in Jail

Sarah Seltzer, Alternet, 01-28-2012, http://bit.ly/ycBFLe

Last night on Countdown, Rolling Stone reporter Matt Taibbi talked about the recent foreclosure settlement deal being negotiated between the state Attorney Generals, including California’s bold Kamala D. Harris, and the banks.

“If they do this for real, if they do this like an Enron-style investigation, you could have half the luminaries on Wall Street doing prison time…. they all made enormous profits from selling mismarked and over-evaluated mortgages to unsuspecting investors,” Taibbi said.

The question in terms of broader national policy, says Taibbi, is whether the Obama Administration has really gotten the Occupy Wall Street message, or “will it be a cosmetic investigation” only?

An Overview of the Most Useful Types of Metals

What are the different types of metals? There are a lot of metals you can get from metal suppliers houston tx and here are some common ones: Copper, Aluminum, Brass, Tin, and Zinc. Copper is the most widely used non-ferrous metal. It has excellent thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. In addition, copper can make alloys such as bronze and brass, which have beneficial properties.

There are many uses of copper. Its antimicrobial properties make it valuable in the medical field. Bacteria can't survive on a copper surface because copper interferes with the electrical charge of the cell membranes. The US Environmental Protection Agency has reported that copper surfaces kill 99.9 percent of bacteria in two hours. Another critical use of copper is in the construction of electric motors.

In addition to its versatile properties, aluminum is easy to recycle. It is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and formable, making it an excellent choice for building construction. Because of its corrosion-resistant properties, aluminum can be used to construct rails, trim, and other architectural structures. It is also widely used in the construction of appliances, including refrigerators and air conditioners. And because of its versatility, aluminum can be incorporated into a wide variety of products.

Many industries have relied on Brass for various purposes in the past. Acoustic characteristics, durability, and antibacterial qualities are all benefits. Brass is also used to make decorative railings and fittings. In addition, its timeless beauty makes it an excellent choice for home decor and furnishings.

Tin is a soft silvery-white metal that can be melted quickly. Although tin is sometimes used as a pure metal, it is usually combined with other metals to form alloys with many desirable properties. These alloys can be formed into valuable materials, including tin sheets for countertops, ear posts, and even jewelry. They are also a good source of tin.

Tin alloys

Tin is easily alloyed with other metals and non-metals, and it has many unique properties. Its unique crystal structure and atomic bond make it highly versatile in different applications. For example, tin is often used in paint, coatings, and automotive parts. These are some of the most common uses for the container.

Lead is a soft, malleable, and dense metal naturally found in the Earth's crust. It is also used in the manufacture of batteries and is the only common metal with high density. Batteries are one of the primary uses for lead, and lead makes an excellent X-ray and sound barrier. Lead is also used in paints and as a roofing material, as it is durable and corrosion-resistant.

Tungsten alloys

Tungsten is an essential element in a variety of industries. Its high density and microcrystalline shape make it particularly useful for many applications where mass is needed in tiny shapes. In addition, it has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it stable at high temperatures. As a result, tungsten is used in electrical appliances with high radiation levels. Its other applications include electrodes, light bulbs, standard construction equipment, etc.
