My name is Christy, and I am a senior at Texas Woman’s University, graduating this December. My major is in Child Development, and I have 2 little ones of my own. When I interviewed with Explorium for the internship position, I knew that Explorium was going to be a fun and exciting place for me to get involved with children and the Denton community.

As part of my internship, I traveled to 3 children’s museums around the state. This blog post will cover my family’s adventure at The DoSeum in San Antonio, TX, formerly the San Antonio Children’s Museum, which just opened in June.

We traveled to San Antonio on a Saturday morning. I figured this place would be busy on a Saturday, so I wanted to get there right as they opened. I think everyone else had the same idea as we did, because the place was PACKED!

My daughter was excited from the minute we pulled up, and it’s obvious to see why. The museum is decorated in bright colors, and it just has a “big adventure” feel to it.

As we walked in, I noticed that everything was laid out very well. There were signs directing visitors where to go, and it had a very progressive layout. The beginning exhibits consisted of some pretty basic things… a Pulley System, Puppet Parade, Kaleidoscope table, and a Big Wind Tunnel. All of these little exhibits were lumped into one big area,   and were very easily accessible.

The first big exhibit we came to was a magical place called “Little Town.” If you have children ages 5 and under, they’ll fall in love with it… and you’ll spend hours in it. Literally hours.

When you walk up to the gates of Little Town, the “Town Mayor” keeps control of the population and how many kids are inside. We didn’t have to wait long to get in, thankfully. Once a visitor walks through those gates, it becomes a huge mecca for dramatic and social play. Vygotsky, Parten, and Garvey… oh my! (Sorry, my love for child development theories came out).

There is a mini-sized EVERYTHING in this place! There is a small airport, construction site, vet clinic, post office, HEB Market, Frost Bank, etc. Everything a town would consist of!

There is a closed in area for 18 months and younger that has little bouncy balls and sensory motor stations. This was a nice place to sit with my 14 month old while my daughter roamed the Little Town and all it had to offer. I was hesitant to just let her do her thing at first, of course for fear that she might accidentally leave without me. But I was assured by the Little Town Mayor that they do not let children leave unless they are accompanied by their parent. What a nice safety feature for the worrywart parent like myself!

Anyone can see the wonder in all the children’s eyes as there is SO much to do. This is honestly a parent’s dream come true if you want your kids to burn off some energy and stretch their imaginations. We Loved it. ABSOLUTELY loved it.

After leaving Little Town, we ventured over to another amazing exhibit called Spy Academy. This exhibit is definitely geared toward older kids. It featured math activities, with critical thinking and problem solving skills. It is basically like a huge game of Clue.

The last exhibit I’ll highlight  is called Explore. Wow, this was SUCH a cool space! Kids are able to look at different parts of the planet on a huge interactive TV screen, as well as video chat with a classroom in Mexico! The classroom wasn’t there at the time we were in this exhibit, but DoSeum-6-Explore-300x225
how cool to be able to communicate with some friends hundreds of miles away?! There is also a huge foam puzzle of the United States that the kids can put together, and a hand crank station that lets the user see just how much energy it takes to run an appliance in your home.

The whole second level of The DoSeum consists of some tinkering, craft work, puzzles, games and fun engineering activities. It was HUGE. This level will appeal to older children, as there is ample space for them to do all sorts of STEM/STEAM activities.

We spent 6 hours at The DoSeum, and I still walked away feeling like we didn’t get to explore all that it has to offer.

What I learned from this visit: San Antonio is such a fun destination to visit with the kids, especially during the summer. There’s the Alamo, Riverwalk, Sea World, and of course Six Flags Fiesta Texas. But do yourself a favor and make The DoSeum a stop on your itinerary. The whole family will love it!

We can meet 5G security needs, says Ericsson India MD Nitin Bansal

Read Article

By Gokul Bhagabati

As India increases the scrutiny of Chinese companies and their products over the national security concerns, a top executive of Swedish gear maker Ericsson said on Monday that it has a process in place to meet the security, privacy and regulatory requirements of its customers for the 5G era in the country.

The auction of 5G spectrum in India was earlier expected to be held in April, but the Covid-19 pandemic has pushed back the deadline.

Late last year, the government decided that it will give 5G spectrum for trials to all vendors and operators who applied, including Huawei and ZTE.

However, India’s border tensions with China has renewed calls for barring Huawei and ZTE from bidding for India’s 5G network by certain groups in India, including the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT).

Earlier this month, the traders’ body even sent a letter to Union IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad in this regard.

Asked if an increased scrutiny of Chinese companies will give the company some extra mileage in terms of capturing the 5G market, Ericsson India’s Managing Director Nitin Bansal said the company focuses on providing competitive solutions making its customers win in the market.

“We do not base our business plans on things which we cannot control. We believe our promise to the customer is based on our technology leadership. As is evident globally, we have been winning business and customers based on our technology capabilities and leadership,” Bansal told IANS in an interview.

Ericsson said it has close to 100 commercial 5G agreements or contracts globally with unique service providers, of which 54 are live networks.

“Pioneering customers select us as their 5G partner and we were first with commercial live networks in four continents. This includes multiple service providers in the United States, South Korea, Europe as well as in Australia and Middle East,” Bansal said.

In India, Ericsson has been working with operator partners as well as the academia community to test and develop various 5G use cases which are relevant for the country.

The Swedish gear maker last year announced that it was selected by Vodafone Idea Limited to deploy 5G-ready equipment across select markets in India.

Later in that year, Ericsson announced a memorandum of understanding with Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) to work together on developing new 5G use cases, knowledge sharing on 5G technology concepts, industry and innovation trends including 3GPP standardisation progress.

Amid calls for barring Chinese companies from 5G in India, there has also been a concern that even non-Chinese companies may use Chinese equipment in 5G network given the nature of global supply chain, thereby rendering such a possible ban ultimately meaningless.

Ericsson said that the telecom equipment that the company supplies to Indian telcos is made in India and it is also exporting 5G radios to other markets from its facility in Pune.

“We manufacture telecom equipment, including 4G, 5G radios and microwave products at our Pune facility,” Bansal noted.

“We have processes in place to ensure the development, production, shipping and deployment of our products, solutions and services to meet the security, privacy and regulatory requirements of our customers,” he said.

Ericsson said it has a global software development strategy, with engineers working with software for new products, including 4G and 5G radios and baseband, on several sites across the globe.

“All Ericsson’s software is verified, signed and distributed centrally from Sweden, and, when so required, under Swedish export licenses. In all our manufacturing and software development facilities globally, Ericsson ensures that strict security controls are in place,” Bansal mentioned.

“In addition, we undertake close quality controls, tests and verifications to ensure compliance to our security standards and overall specification of our network solutions,” he added.

A recent Ericsson Consumer Lab survey done amid the Covid-19 crisis has shown that 62 per cent of consumers in India wished 5G had been rolled out much faster to help them deal with the current crisis.

Thomas Edison

It wasn’t Eastman who invented 35mm film, though: Edison, working with Eastman in 1892, trimmed 40mm filmstock down to 35mm. Edison then perforated the film with four sprocket holes per frame — an invention that was patented but later invalidated by court — and created the Kinetoscope, a very early, single-person motion picture device.

The Kinetoscope and Edison’s 35mm film would go on to create the movie and cinema industry.

Nelson Mandela, born in 1918, came from a proud family and a cultural tradition that the dominant white South African society often denigrated. As a student, Mandela attended the missionary school Healdtown, located within the Xhosa region but accepting students from throughout the country. The teaching was in English, and the curriculum focused on European themes. Here, Mandela recalls a transformative experience at school that helped him begin to question his identity and consider a broader one.

In my final year at Healdtown [1937], an event occurred that for me was like a comet streaking across the night sky. Toward the end of the year, we were informed that the great Xhosa poet Krune Mqhayi was going to visit the school. Mqhayi was actually an imbongi, a praise-singer, a kind of oral historian who marks contemporary events and history with poetry that is of special meaning to his people.

The day of his visit was declared a holiday by the school authorities. On the appointed morning, the entire school, including staff members both black and white, gathered in the dining hall, which was where we held school assemblies. There was a stage at one end of the hall and on it a door that led to [headmaster] Dr. Wellington's house. The door itself was nothing special, but we thought of it as Dr. Wellington's door, for no one ever walked through it except Dr. Wellington himself. Suddenly, the door opened and out walked not Dr. Wellington, but a black man dressed in a leopard-skin kaross [cloak made of animal hide] and matching hat, who was carrying a spear in either hand. Dr. Wellington followed a moment later, but the sight of a black man in tribal dress coming through that door was electrifying. It is hard to explain the impact it had on us. It seemed to turn the universe upside down...

At one point, he raised his assegai [spear] into the air for emphasis and accidentally hit the curtain wire above him, which made a sharp noise and caused the curtain to sway. The poet looked at the point of his spear and then the curtain wire and, deep in thought, walked back and forth across the stage. After a minute, he stopped walking, faced us, and, newly energized, exclaimed that this incident—the assegai striking the wire—symbolized the clash between the culture of Africa and that of Europe. His voice rose and he said, "The assegai stands for what is glorious and true in African history; it is a symbol of the African as warrior and the African as artist. This metal wire,” he said, pointing above, “is an example of Western manufacturing, which is skillful but cold, clever but soulless...I predict that one day, the forces of African society will achieve a momentous victory over the interloper. For too long, we have succumbed to the false gods of the white man. But we will emerge and cast off these foreign notions.”

I could hardly believe my ears...

Mqhayi then began to recite his well-known poem in which he apportions the stars in the heavens to the various nations of the world. Roving the stage and gesturing with his assegai toward the sky, he said that to the people of Europe—the French, the Germans, the English—"I give you the Milky Way, the largest constellation, for you are a strange people, full of greed and envy, who quarrel over plenty."

...He then discussed Africa and separated the continent into different nations, giving specific constellations to different tribes. He had been dancing about the stage, waving his spear, modulating his voice, and now suddenly he became still, and lowered his voice.

"Now, come you, O House of Xhosa," he said, and slowly began to lower himself so that he was on one knee. "I give unto you the most important and transcendent star, the Morning Star, for you are a proud and powerful people. It is the star for counting the years—the years of manhood.” When he spoke this last word, he dropped his head to his chest. We rose to our feet, clapping and cheering.

I was galvanized, but also confused by Mqhayi's performance. He had moved from a more nationalistic, all-encompassing theme of African unity to a more parochial one addressed to the Xhosa people, of whom he was one. As my time at Healdtown was coming to an end, I had many new and sometimes conflicting ideas floating in my head...In a sense, Mqhayi's shift in focus was a mirror of my own mind because I went back and forth between pride in myself as a Xhosa and a feeling of kinship with other Africans. But as I left Healdtown at the end of the year, I saw myself as a Xhosa first and an African second.1

Questions and Answers
Effective December 31, 2016 PennDOT will no longer issue vehicle registration stickers.

Why is PennDOT going to stop issuing registration stickers?

Act 89, passed in November, 2013, provided for the elimination of vehicle registration stickers. The move will also allow our customers to pay online from home or a mobile device, print and sign a permanent registration credential and go about their business, without waiting for delivery by mail of their registration card. Additionally, current technology allows law enforcement to verify through real-time electronic means whether a vehicle registration is valid. Also, eliminating the stickers will result in a significant cost savings for taxpayers.

Do I still have to register my vehicle?

Yes-Act 89 merely eliminated the need to place a registration sticker on your license plate effective December 31, 2016.

How much money will be saved by not-issuing the stickers?

The elimination of the registration sticker was evaluated as part of a Penn State research study. That study concluded that eliminating the registration sticker has no impact on vehicle registration compliance. The elimination of the registration sticker will realize a cost savings to taxpayers of $1 million per year.

How will law enforcement know my car is registered?

Law enforcement agencies have real-time electronic access to PennDOT's database from their patrol vehicles and many are investing in license plate reader technology to more efficiently validate registrations.

Do I have to remove my old stickers?

No, you are not required to remove your old sticker(s).

Are there any other benefits to customers related to the elimination of the registration sticker?

The elimination of the registration sticker helps pave the way for PennDOT to leverage technology to make vehicle registration more convenient for our customers with future improvements such as allowing a customer who renews their vehicle registration online to print a permanent registration card at home and eventually allowing customers to upload the registration credential to their smart device.

What Can a Franchisee Due if a Franchisor Lied?

The decision to purchase a franchise is a big one. It is usually the outcome of months of investigation into what franchise to purchase, the pros and cons, the available alternatives, review of the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), meetings and phone calls, and a significant financial investment. It is not a decision that is ever taken lightly.

When franchisors are in the process of selling a franchise to a franchisee, the franchisor might make promises, guarantees, or other statements about the nature of the franchise. It is often these types of specific assurances that tip the scales in favor of purchasing one franchise or another.

But, what happens if the promises turn out to be false? This can lead to, at a minimum, ill will toward the franchisor. At its most extreme, this can lead to a business relationship that fails to perform as initially agreed.

The franchisee might conclude that there was an agreement breached. The franchisor and its attorneys, however, are likely to refer the franchisee to what are called the Parol Evidence Rule and the Integration Clause in the franchise contract as prohibiting the enforcement of any terms other than what is in black and white.

What are these rules, and is there an exception to them that a franchisee can avail him or herself of?

The Parol Evidence Rule is a rule of evidence. It holds that extrinsic evidence cannot be introduced to contradict a written contract. Thus, evidence of conversations or emails cannot be provided to show that the agreement with a franchisor promised something than was actually in the franchise agreement.

This rule is further reinforced by the standard Integration Clause that is contained in virtually all franchise agreements. An Integration Clause says that the agreement is the full and complete agreement, and that there are no other agreements between the franchisor and franchisee.

As you can see, with the combination of the Parol Evidence Rule and an Integration Clause, an franchisor can easily argue that any other promises they made are unenforceable.

There are, however, a large and important exception to these rules that franchisors frequently forget about: fraud.

It is established law that a claim for fraud defeats the Parol Evidence Rule and an Integration Clause. In the context of franchises, a fraud claim usually involves promises, statements, or implications, or failure to disclose certain facts, which induced the franchisee to enter into the agreement. Fraud claims typically require that the franchisee rely to his or her detriment on the fraudulent statements of the franchisor. That is, the falseness of the statements must be material to the contract (minor or unimportant false statements probably do not sustain a claim for fraud).

One of the oldest and most cited decisions on this issue in North Carolina jurisprudence explains “It is a well-established general rule that if the parties reduce their entire contract or agreement to writing, whether under seal or not, the court will not hear parol evidence to vary or change it, unless for fraud, mistake or the like.” Cumming v. Barber, 99 N.C. 332 (1888).

The franchise agreement may be voided if the franchisee can prove to a judge or jury’s satisfaction that fraud occurred. This often requires filing a lawsuit and going through the litigation process. Nevertheless, if a franchisee is caught in a franchise that he or she feels was sold under false pretenses, this is a viable exit strategy.

Furthermore, North Carolina law holds that a franchisor’s unfair or deceptive business practices might be a violation of the anti-trust statute, G.S. § 75-1.1. Violation of that statute may entitle the franchisee to treble damages, costs, and attorney’s fees.

As you can see, if a franchisor makes false representations about the franchise it sells, just because the franchisee signed a contract does not necessarily mean there is no way out.

If you are a franchisee who has a dispute with your franchisor, contact us at Fairview Law to see how we can help. Fairview Law is a Charlotte, North Carolina business and franchise law firm that represents entrepreneurs throughout the Old North State.

Improving Cybersecurity On Campuses Being Remotely Accessed

Higher education institutions have encountered an unprecedented crisis in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic – enabling secure, reliable remote learning pathways. Mandatory campus lockdowns have forced students, professors and administrative faculty to transition to digital workspaces. While online platforms like Blackboard and Coursera are helping bridge the gap, the rapid shift to eLearning environments has revealed a variety of infrastructural- and security-related weaknesses within the education industry.

One study by the nonprofit technology company EDUCAUSE found that developing an information security strategy is the biggest challenge academic institutions will face in 2020. Without strong, risk-based cybersecurity processes, IT administrators may struggle to detect, prevent and respond to malicious activity. The need for robust cybersecurity is twofold: Remote learning and bring-your-own-device culture. To understand how these trends are directly impacting campuses across the U.S., let’s take a closer look at the details.

Remote learning: Risks and vulnerabilities

Remote learning has enabled college campuses to continue teaching students despite the global pandemic, but this practice comes with a few inherent risks. Educational technologies (EdTech) are prone to the same sorts of cybersecurity threats as business applications, including ransomware, account takeovers, data theft and more. Campuses that were caught off guard by the health crisis have had to quickly deploy new IT solutions to facilitate distance learning. However, many IT administrators didn’t have time to vet these solutions or prepare students to use new platforms effectively.

“If they didn’t already have a set of tools they were using, in many cases they needed to find, or just essentially deputized their teachers to find, whatever they can… to deploy,” said Doug Levin, president of EdTech Strategies, in an interview with EducationDive.

This lack of coordination has created new challenges for campus network security and remote access management, especially when users rely on their personal devices (more on this later). As a growing number of students make use of digital learning pathways, the amount of sensitive information transmitted over campus networks is only increasing. One reason academia is such a lucrative target for hackers is student data – financial records, transcripts, health data, etc. – which can be used to commit identity theft and fraud. Traditional, on-campus facilities often have robust security controls and protections that can safeguard against these types of threats. However, when users access this information from remote, at-home networks, there’s often a greatest risk of hacking and exploitation.

Bring-your-own-device culture

Bring your own device (BYOD) is a set of policies that encourage students to use their personal devices to access educational platforms and data from anywhere. As noted by IBM, BYOD can be either relaxed or restrictive depending on an organization’s specific needs and security requirements. In some cases, giving users unlimited access to all educational resources may be necessary, but most IT experts recommend granting access only to non-sensitive systems and data. Regardless of the institutional protections, end users are fully responsible for ensuring their firewalls, antivirus software and operating systems are kept up to date.

While using personal devices to access campus networks has been the norm for over a decade, the COVID-19 pandemic has made it a universal necessity. Alongside the risks posed by unsecured devices – desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, etc. – IT administrators must also consider how home routers can be leveraged to commit cybercrimes. According to research from Symantec, 75% of cyberattacks levied against their “honeypots” – virtual machines that mimic the behavior of real devices – came from infected routers. This trend reveals that hackers are getting more creative about their operations, and are taking steps to bypass traditional security protections on personal devices.

Improving cybersecurity in the higher education industry

Although remote learning and BYOD culture have introduced new challenges for network management and security, there are some simple steps campuses can take to protect against hacking and data theft. The Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development offered the following recommendations and cybersecurity guidelines for safeguarding remote learning environments:

  • When using a video conferencing system (like Zoom or Google Hangouts), universities should avoid platforms that require students to create a unique account.
  • Campuses should remind students, teachers and staff that no member of their in-house IT staff will ever ask for login credentials or for students to click on specific email links.
  • Integrating two-factor authentication should be a top priority for any remote learning pathway.

Alongside these policy-based recommendations, IT administrators should also look for ways to enhance their visibility and control over remote devices. Faronics’ Deploy application empowers colleges to ward off cybersecurity threats by keeping all devices, applications and operating systems up to date. With one-click implementation, IT administrators can optimize key application and device management tasks for individual endpoints and user groups. This level of oversight can help ensure that all users are running the latest versions of Windows OS, Mac and popular applications like Adobe, Microsoft Office and more. Paired with advanced patch scanning and agent deployment, IT professionals can eliminate zero-day threats, monitor for new vulnerabilities and create automated patching schedules.

Italy - Democracy, Sold To Putin, And Now Proven By Italian Investigation

Italy's Salvini, clearly pleased to be in Moscow to visit his paymaster

Exposed : The secret negotiations to finance the Fascist Lega Nord of Matteo Salvini - with Russian money.

Putin laundered E3 Million via a front company and passed to Fascist Lega Nord's Matteo Salvini, now Dep PM of Italy. Italy's democracy has been sold for dark money.

A devastating long-running investigation by Italian journalists Giovanni Tizian and Stefano Vergine has exposed, and proven, the funding link long suspected between Putin's Russia and the Fascist party Lega Nord, which catapulted Salvini to power in Italy. The full story is to published in L'Espresso on Sunday 24 February.

The Putin links to Anti-EU Parties in Europe have long been suspected and written about by us, Hungary and France were nations who received Russian cash.

In short : Putin made a six-zero deal to finance the Lega Nord ahead of European Elections, disguised as a fuel purchase / sale. And it's easy. And legal. All Putin does - on many occasions, using various commodities - is to sell an item, in this case, fuel stock of the Gasoil EN 590 standards Udsl, at full value, to a shell company. This is purchased by another shell company at 1/10th of its value, and sold on the open market again at full value. The profits are then donated to a European anti-EU Party of their choice. Putin's Government takes the expected huge financial loss, but importantly, the funds are transferred by a relatively legal means.

Meetings, travel, email, handshakes and draft millionaires contracts, all have been proven in the article this Sunday.

Closed Die Forging | What is Closed Die Forging?

Forging is a favorable and effective manufacturing process. It is able to form high quality metal components for countless industries. Forging is able to do this because it can be subdivided into specific forging processes. The forging process used depends on the specific needs of the project. Closed die forging is one of the many types of forging. Keep reading to find out the process, advantages, and applications of closed die forging!

What Is Closed Die Forging?

Closed die forging is a forging process. It is sometimes referred to as impression die forging. This process involves two or more dies that contain a precut profile of the desired component. The heated raw material is placed at the bottom of the die. The dies then move towards each other until the raw material is formed into its required shape and size.

Why Is It Used?

Most metals and alloys can be forged through the closed die process. Closed die forgings of steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and other alloys can produce an unlimited variety of 3-D shapes in a wide range of weights and sizes. As a result, this is one of the best processes for complex shapes that require elaborate designs.

What Are Its Applications?

Closed die forging is used for applications that require high quality components. People turn to closed die forgings when their project requires strength, reliability, and resistance to fatigue. Because of this, closed die forging is an appealing manufacturing process for numerous industries. Some specific parts that are formed by this type of forging can be found throughout the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries.

Ferralloy Inc. can meet any and all of your forging needs! We’re a leading global provider of forgings to major companies in numerous industries. We produce rolled ring, cold headed, open die, and closed die forgings in a variety of alloy steel grades. Connect with our metal manufacturing company online today!

Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) Success Rate

Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer does not provide a guaranteed chance of success with pregnancy. Instead, this process provides only a 25% to 30% success rate. In many cases, women who receive the Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer do not become pregnant.

Success Rate Variances

Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer treatments occur within the patient’s body rather than in a lab with other devices. Female eggs and male sperm get combined, and then transferred into the patient’s fallopian tube. However, not every procedure provides results. Success is based on the patient’s health, and the health of both the sperm and egg used in the process.

A woman must have a healthy fallopian tube for this procedure to work properly. Those with poor tube health will usually receive notification prior to receiving treatment so that both time and resources do not get wasted.

Other Information

The female patient receives medication to increase the production of eggs; the ovaries go into a state of excessive production. A limited amount of the patient’s eggs get mixed with nearly 200,000 male sperm. Immediately following, the mixture gets placed in the healthy fallopian tube through a laparoscopic procedure.

If any issues occur during the beginning phase of the Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer, patients face less chance of a successful pregnancy. Some patients do not respond as effectively to the ovary stimulating medication. Others, however, will notice tremendous success and notice results in the first few months after the procedure concludes.

Many cases show that patients face multiple pregnancies or multiple child births through a single Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer treatment. Patients will find more information regarding the intrafallopian procedure by consulting with administering professionals.

Staatskapelle Dresden

Founded by Prince Elector Moritz von Sachsen in 1548, the Staatskapelle Dresden is one of the oldest orchestras in the world and thus steeped in tradition. Over its long history many distinguished conductors and internationally celebrated instrumentalists have left their mark on this onetime court orchestra. Previous directors include Heinrich Schütz, Johann Adolf Hasse, Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner, who called the ensemble his »miraculous harp«. The list of prominent conductors of the last 100 years includes Ernst von Schuch, Fritz Reiner, Fritz Busch, Karl Böhm, Joseph Keilberth, Rudolf Kempe, Otmar Suitner, Kurt Sanderling, Herbert Blomstedt and Giuseppe Sinopoli. The orchestra was directed by Bernard Haitink from 2002 – 2004 and most recently by Fabio Luisi from 2007 – 2010. Principal Conductor since the 2012 / 2013 season has been Christian Thielemann. In May 2016 the former Principal Conductor Herbert Blomstedt received the title Conductor Laureate. The only person to previously hold this title was Sir Colin Davis, from 1990 until his death in April 2013. MyungWhun Chung has been Principal Guest Conductor since the 2012 / 2013 season. Richard Strauss and the Staatskapelle were closely linked for more than sixty years. Nine of the composer’s operas were premiered in Dresden, including »Salome«, »Elektra« and »Der Rosenkavalier«, while Strauss’s »Alpine Symphony« was dedicated to the orchestra. Countless other famous composers have written works either dedicated to the orchestra or first performed in Dresden. In 2007 the Staatskapelle reaffirmed this tradition by introducing the annual position of »Capell-Compositeur«.

Following on from Hans Werner Henze, Sofia Gubaidulina, Wolfgang Rihm, György Kurtág and Arvo Pärt, the Hungarian composer Peter Eötvös will hold this title for the 2018 / 2019 season. As »Capell-Virtuos« the Staatskapelle welcomes the exceptional violinst Frank Peter Zimmermann. The Staatskapelle’s home is the Semperoper, where it performs around 250 operas and ballets each season. In addition, the ensemble presents another 50 symphonic and chamber concerts in the opera house, as well as playing at various musical events in Dresden’s Frauenkirche. As one of the world’s most celebrated and popular symphony orchestras, the Staatskapelle regularly travels abroad to the world’s leading classical venues. Since 2013 the Staatskapelle Dresden has been the resident orchestra of the Salzburg Easter Festival, whose Artistic Director is none other than Christian Thielemann. The Staatskapelle also does valuable work to support the local region: Since October 2008 it has been the patron orchestra of Meetingpoint Music Messiaen (launched on January 15, 2015) in the double city of Görlitz-Zgorzelec. And in September 2010 the orchestra helped found the International Shostakovich Festival in Gohrisch (Saxon Switzerland), which is the only such annual event dedicated to the music and life of Dmitri Shostakovich. At a ceremony in Brussels in 2007 the Staatskapelle became the first – and so far only – orchestra to be awarded the »European Prize for the Preservation of the World’s Musical Heritage«.

Interview Quade 1

Interview with Sound Design Graduate Valerie Quade

Michael Forster,

Valerie Quade studied Sound Design. With her master’s thesis she has won numerous international awards.

What was the most appealing thing about the project for you, and what is it about?

Valerie Quade: In my master’s thesis I analyzed the acoustic environment of our cities, and wrote a guide for people who would like to know more about the topic (professionally), but lack specific knowledge about the topic. Until a few years ago, the acoustic urban space was completely neglected by designers. Although noise protection measures have been mandated in accordance with technical noise measurements, the protection measures do not always make sense in terms of a balanced living space, and often make construction projects considerably more difficult. So far, city councillors, architects and planners have had little or no time available for sustainable, acoustic urban planning, and that is what I wanted to change. My product, an engaging brochure, is available digitally, and could also be distributed as a printed version in the future. The great amount of interest in the thesis from many different people especially excited me: from the Department of Noise Protection to professors of Transport Planning, to building contractors and many people in the city who have been interested in this topic for a long time.

What is the next step?

At the moment I am working as a media teacher in a games library. I organize events there, lead workshops on digital games and game design, and develop barrier‒free board games. So, I have moved away from sound for the time being. However, next year I will once again be more involved in soundscape projects in the city due to the Graz Cultural Year.

Why did you choose sound design?

I originally wanted to study game design, but due to some ultimately serendipitous detours, I ended up in the Film & Sound bachelor’s program at the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts, where I was educated as a sound designer for films. Seppo Gründler, then head of the master’s program in Communication, Media, Sound and Interaction Design, introduced the partner university FH JOANNEUM in Dortmund in 2015, and the contents of this program appealed to me. I was particularly attracted by the specialization in Acoustic Ecology, i.e. the teaching of sounds in our environment. I wanted to get away from film; it can be very exciting and versatile in terms of design, but sound design has even more potential. This master’s program offered a very broad spectrum of teaching, and that fact quickly convinced me.

Why would you recommend this program?

The Master’s in Sound Design is what students make of it. During the semester you have a primary supervisor who supports and assesses your main projects as a mentor, and also recommends rooms, experts or technology. In this way I was able to produce for example a 3D radio drama, which has won many international awards. Every week I would meet with my supervisor, a professor at the Graz University of Music and Performing Arts (KUG), and together we discussed both creative and technical problems until the radio drama was finished. However, my fellow students did completely different projects with different supervisors; everyone gets a supervisor who suits him or her. In this way you can decide what direction your studies take, which guarantees that they remain fulfilling and interesting. It is also possible to reduce your course load if you have less time to study for some reason. Due to this flexibility and the broad spectrum of teaching, I fully recommend the Master’s in Sound Design. You have to be prepared to work hard for a good portfolio, but that hard work is rewarded. I would especially like to emphasize the successful cooperation with the KUG and the students of the Sound Engineering program, who were also our student representatives. Through them we once again received completely differ- ent technical and creative possibilities, which are unique in Europe.

Cambium pushes pedal on CBRS with 20K devices deployed

Cambium said fixed wireless connectivity is the leading use case for customers deploying its CBRS devices. (Getty Images)

Cambium Networks said market adoption for fixed wireless services using CBRS spectrum is speeding ahead, with around 20,000 of the wireless networking provider’s CBRS devices already deployed.

Those span more than 150 service provider customers, who are using devices for broadband over shared spectrum in the 3.55-3.7 GHz band.

Fixed wireless connectivity is the leading use case in the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band for its device deployments, Cambium said, where customers are leveraging fixed wireless to add capacity to rural and suburban broadband access. The band is also in play for private LTE networks for enterprise and government, as well as supplementing mobile operators’ networks with additional FWA and mid-band spectrum.

Report : 3000 consumers reveal what they really want from 5G

New research from Nokia provides insights into consumer perceptions to help you develop a 5G go-to-market strategy that meets customer expectations. What do consumers expect from 5G and are they willing to pay for it? Which 5G use cases are most appealing? Who would they want to buy it from?

RELATED: CBRS private LTE networks help keep oilfield workers safe

While the FCC’s auction for Priority Access Licenses (PALs) is currently underway, CBRS spectrum is already available for commercial use under General Authorized Access (GAA). Verizon is one of the many participants vying for PALs, but RootMetrics testing in July suggested the carrier was already accelerating 3.5 GHz deployments in the GAA portion.

Cambium first announced services for CBRS in February, but said it had been working on the band well before in partnership with the Federal Communications Commission, WISPA, WinnForum, and the CBRS Alliance.

The company offers an end-to-end outdoor fixed wireless broadband solution, based on the PMP 450m platform and incorporating Cambium’s cnMedusa massive multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO) technology. Cambium is not a CBRS Spectrum Access System (SAS) administrator, but it offers SAS services through a cloud-based management system.

Cambium customers can upgrade devices and migrate to CBRS with an over-the-air software upgrade. Its software-defined radio design is part of why customer transitions to CBRS are already complete or are underway, the company said.

RELATED: CBRS ratchets device support for 5G spec as auction kicks off

Under the new sharing paradigm of the 3.5 GHz band, current licensees in the 3.65 GHz portion operating under the FCC’s Part 90 rules must migrate their services and equipment to CBRS band standards by October 17. The original deadline was in mid-April, but the FCC granted a temporary extension for some, including WISPs and electric utilities, so that they could stay focused on providing broadband services amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Before CBRS came to be, there were already around 125,000 Cambium Part 90 devices (also called “3.65”) deployed, which the provider said makes the software upgrade capability particularly attractive. Those that don’t transition before the deadline have to either stop operating or face a rush to migrate to CBRS, Cambium added.

Of the 20,000 devices, the majority (between 80-90%) were existing deployments that migrated from the old Part 90 rules to Part 96 via a software upgrade, according to a spokesperson.

“CBRS spectrum is a precious natural resource, and effectively exercising it requires long-term planning and vision,” Cambium Networks CEO Atul Bhatnagar said in a statement.

RELATED: Cambium embraces 60 GHz, Wi-Fi 6 for multi-gigabit connectivity

“Having that combination of vision, services and experience makes it very clear to us that operators must act now, both to take advantage of CBRS opportunities already in play and to avoid missing the opportunity before the deadline,” Bhatnagar continued.

Cambium has also worked with Google and Federated Wireless, two of five certified SAS administrators. The other three are Amdocs, Commscope, and Sony.

Federated worked with Cambium on the CBRS band as far back as March 2019 when the pair agreed to partner to help operators deliver fixed wireless broadband services using the CBRS band.

Updated to include information about percentage of existing deployment upgrades.

Firefighters and Coronary Heart Disease: A Brief History on Research and Analysis

By Aditya Shekhar

Whether we want to admit it or not, firefighting and emergency services in general can be a dangerous profession. On firegrounds, there are hazardous materials, flames, heavy machinery, and potentially insecure structures. Responding to emergencies, especially with lights and sirens, dramatically increases the likelihood of traffic accidents. The stress of firefighting and the memories of certain calls can leave permanent scars in the form of post-traumatic stress disorder and other forms of mental illness. However, there is one risk that doesn’t receive as much coverage in the firefighting world: heart disease.

Data from the National Fire Protection Association found that, of the 60 firefighter fatalities that occurred in 2017, 29 were because of sudden cardiac death. Firefighters, as an occupation, have some of the highest rates of heart disease, heart attacks, and sudden cardiac death. There have been several studies published examining firefighters’ unique risk profile and the epidemiology of heart disease in the fire service.

Surviving the Fire Service Cardiac Epidemic

FLAME Out: Cardiovascular Risk on the Fireground

Fitness: Cardiovascular Training for Firefighters

One of the first studies of the hearts of firefighters was published in 1975 by R.J. Barnard and H.W. Duncan in the Journal of Occupational Medicine. They looked at the heart rates of firefighters responding to emergencies and when engaged in firefighting. Less than a minute after the tones dropped, they recorded an average increase in heart rate of 47 beats per minute. During actual firefighting, researchers recorded unusually prolonged periods of tachycardia. They concluded that firefighting creates states of high anxiety, which then leads to tachycardia.

An early study looking at the relationship between firefighting and heart disease was published in the American Journal of Public Health in 1992 by Dr. James Friel and Dr. Michael Stones. After interviewing 200 Canadian firefighters in 1987 and 1988, they found high levels of obesity and high cholesterol, each being significant risk factors for heart disease. However, these are also modifiable risk factors, meaning that they can be changed with lifestyle modification or pharmacological therapy.

A few years later, Glueck and colleagues published a study in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine (1996). Beginning in 1984, they recruited 806 firefighters without coronary heart disease (CHD). They followed each firefighter for an average of 6.4 years and looked at participants’ weight, blood pressure, fasting glucose, and lipid profile, among other risk factors for CHD. If a participant was found to have high levels of risk, they were advised on how to reduce their risk, given an Electroencephalogram stress test and a thallium scan. Over the course of the study, seven men had heart attacks and 15 developed coronary heart disease. These 22 men were more likely to be smokers, have a family history of heart disease, have higher blood pressures, have higher low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) and total cholesterols, and higher triglycerides. That being said, the CHD rate found by the study was lower than a comparable nonfirefighting population. Researchers concluded that most of the participants’ risk stemmed from modifiable lifestyle choices. (It’s worth noting that this study specifically recruited participants without any heart disease at the outset and from one department only, which presents a selection bias.)

One of the most prominent researchers on the link between firefighting and heart disease is Dr. Stefanos Kales of Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health. A 2003 study conducting by Kales and several colleagues published in Environmental Health looked at the CHD-related deaths of 52 male firefighters to better understand what sorts of activities precipitated their fatal cardiac events and whether certain fire department duties might be more likely to lead to CHD-related death.

In their background research, they found that, from 1977 to 2002, CHD accounted for 45 percent of on-duty deaths. For reference, CHD was attributed to just 22 percent of on-duty deaths among police and detectives and 11 percent of emergency medical services (EMS) providers. Although the disease may be underlying, researchers also found that specific duties were likely to trigger a CHD-related death. For instance, they noted that actual suppression accounts for less than two percent of a firefighter’s duties but up to 36 percent of deaths. Responding to emergencies also increased the risk of a CHD-related death five-fold. Interestingly, only six percent of CHD-related deaths came during EMS runs (even though EMS calls represent most of the calls for many departments). Unfortunately, most firefighters who experienced CHD-related fatalities had not undergone a fire department medical exam within the previous two years.

Kales also examined a larger sample of firefighter deaths in a 2005 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. He looked at the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s data on all firefighter deaths from 1994 to 2004 (excluding deaths because of the 9/11 attacks) and examined the ones that were found to be CHD-related. His research showed that 32.1 percent of deaths occurred during fire suppression, 17.4 percent occurred during returning from an alarm, 15.4 percent occurred during nonemergency duties, 13.4 percent occurred during responding to an alarm, and 9.4 percent occurred during responding to nonfire emergencies. Considering the time firefighters spend performing these duties, Kales found that the risk of a CHD-related death was up to 136 times higher during suppression, 14.1 times higher during alarm response, 10.5 times higher during alarm returning, and up to 6.6 times higher during physical training.

Looking at the statistics regarding firefighter mortality, it’s clear that heart disease and sudden cardiac death account for an overwhelming number of on-duty firefighter deaths, far eclipsing any other means. The literature on firefighters and heart disease seems to suggest that there is an inherent risk to being a firefighter and aggravating coronary heart disease. The stress of firefighting, shift life, and the body’s physiological response creates extended periods of tachycardia and other unusual patterns of heart load that aren’t found in a general population. There’s also something unique about the activity fire suppression that creates significant risk. The reason behind this extreme increase is currently unknown.

Departments and individuals can mitigate their risk of suffering a CHD-related death by reducing or eliminating their modifiable risk factors including smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, and high LDL cholesterol. Departments can encourage better nutrition through healthier meals and smaller portions, institute science-based and heart-healthy exercise regimens, and install stricter requirements on medical examinations and early screening for heart disease. Firefighting is an incredible profession for incredible people. If we work together, we can extinguish the risk of CHD.

Power supply failure. Check the LG site for a good tech

LG 37LG30 37 in.... | 361 views | 0 helpful votes

Your problem resides in the power supply board. There are two capacitors that are near the connector the runs to the main system control board. These capacitors are leaky and need to be replaced. If you know how to solder and unsolder then componets on a board then at the most $10.00 will fix your problem. You should be able to idenify the too because they will be puffy on their tops as if they are ready to burst. The values of the caps are 1000uf rated at 10 volts, Go to Radioshack and purchase 1000uf rated at 16 Volts as this will give longer life to the unit. Also the caps are ploarized neg an pos make sure you reinstal them the same way you took them out look at the board before installing them will give you an indication of which hole is neg and pos.

it could be 2 issues: faulty remotes or stuck buttons on tv's keyboard. Where did you get 2 remotes? cable or directtv boxes? those are universal and must be programed to work with tvs. or, do you have 2 identical LG remotes in your household? either way, if you have kids on premises and lot of drinks carried around, remotes could be contaminated with fluids inside and malfunctioned. You must become a CSI and figure it out!
Good luck and let me know the results.

Reading the online manual - You should have the laptop connected by VGA - PC input
VGA Connection you need to select the correct input on the TV
  • Select the RGB-PC input source on the TV using the INPUT button on the remote control.
you will need to set the laptop up to output to the VGA output, to do this - varies by different manufacturers - But often F4 or F5, with the FN key selects the VGA output - have a look at the F keys across the top of the machine and see if you can see a picture of a screen - then use the FN and that F key together to toggle between display it will change to <Laptop Screen Only><Laptop screen and VGA output><VGA output only> not necessarily in that order.
This is the support site for that TV

If the line travels from the top of the screen to the bottom, try disconnecting the Tcon LVDS lead. The Tcon is located in the top middle of the LCD rear. Disconnect the LVDS from the Tcon by pushing in the outer lobes. Clean the contacts on the LVDs lead and reinsert. If this doesnt cure the fault, disconnect the ribbons from the Tcon connecting the LCD and clean and reinsert. If this doesnt cure the fault you have a faulty LCD.
If the vertical line doesnt travel from top to bottom of the LCD, the LCD is faulty (LCD matrix buffer).Hope this helps :)

Thanks for using FixYa. Please check the audio with a DVD player or cable box. Also try using component cables if using a RCA component cable or vice versa. Check that all of the cables are plugged into the back of the TV & MUTE button is not pressed. Do a hard reset by unplugging the power cord for more than 4 hours and power it again, then go into the on-screen-menu and make sure the sap is off and stereo in on. Also try audio from Phone and 3.5mm jacks (if equipped). If this all didn't resolves the issue then it is an Audio IC or bad speakers/speaker connection. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved else revert for further assistance.

Did you drop the remote lately my dog loves the plastic and knarls and slobers on them. Go buy a cheap replacement and try it

I have seen this problem way too many times on LG sets. This is caused by a faulty tuner software. LG is willing to install the firmware for free if you contact them. Call (800) 243-0000 to contact them via phone or use the form at the link below to e-mail them.

A positive rating for the advice provided will be highly appreciated. Let me know if you need more help.

Thanks for using FixYa. From what you have described it seems that you might have a backlight and/or an inverter board issue with this TV set. It could also be due to the inverter circuits for the backlights. The inverter is the power supply source for the backlights. There could also be a screen driver problem; if it is then you have to change the entire inverter board. All this is only recommended if you have some kind of expertise for checking the internal circuitry of the TV as these units have high voltages running even when the set is switched off. The cost to change the inverter board including labor would be around $250, if you get this done by a professional. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.

Try this, unplug all cables from the set, switch off at the mains, wait a couple of minutes, then switch the power on, and turn on your set do not put any cables back in, you should get a snowy picture up when you turn it on as normal. if you do replace turn the set back off plug all of the cables back in and turn the set back as normal, you should have a normal picture. post back if you dont.

37LG30 - loosened the 4 screws on the back of the TV but base mount wouldn't come off. Found that had to remove the screws even though already loose so that doesn't bind in the holes. Did this by making the loose screws bind in the wholes. Using twisers in the whole would have done the same thing. o

Palacio del Marqués de Viana | by Me in ME
Back to photostream

Palacio del Marqués de Viana

This 'palace' has twelve patios or courtyards that each have a different design with different plants being prominent in all of them. This follows a Roman and then Arab tradition of having patios as part of a house. This is the main central courtyard. More details below are from Wikipedia.

Viana's palace, formerly known as Don Gome's Palace of the Bars, in reference to one of its first owners, is a sample of manor houses of the Cordoba nobility. Although there is documentary evidence of the existence of some buildings of the fourteenth century, the history of the palace begins with Gómez Suárez de Figueroa, lord of Fuencubierta , mayor of Antequera and twenty - four of Cordoba during the fifteenth century. From the first owner, the palace is expanding and undergoing major transformations until the mid-twentieth century.

Building of the fourteenth century, its main facade is thought to have been traced by Juan de Ochoa, in the Mannerist style , during the sixteenth century. It has had numerous restorations and extensions throughout the years, there have been archaeological finds, believing that it was originally a Roman building.

It was owned in the nineteenth century by the Marquises of Villaseca, later passing, in 1901, to the Marquises of Viana and being substantially improved in its artistic collections by the second Marquis José de Saavedra and Salamanca , an important character of the court of Alfonso XIII , monarch He visited the palace several times due to his friendship with the Marquis. The widow of the third marquis, Sofía Lancaster, sold it in July 1980 to the Provincial Savings Bank of Córdoba, later known as CajaSur , who still owns her property and who, through her cultural Foundation, has adapted it for a museum with a series of collections distributed by its rooms, opening to the public on October 31, 1981.

One of its great attractions is its beautiful twelve Cordovan courtyards , linked by galleries, with great diversity of plants, especially in spring and summer when the plants bloom and give great color to the enclosure. Water is also one of the main elements, since it merges with the vegetation creating a patio in harmony with nature.

I Walked at Badalung | by Viewminder
Back to photostream

I Walked at Badalung

The Great Wall at Badalung... I spent the day there exploring it... walking it up and down the hills. What was this thing? Why was it really built I wondered? What purpose did it really serve?

The question has never left me.

Over the years... in conversation and study... I had come to realize that in my opinion it was not a wall at all.

It was a highway... and the worlds first information superhighway at that.

Those gaurdhouses that you see... on the top of every hill... the gaurds in them had special lanterns... if a message was flashed from one... it would be transmitted to the next like that game you played in grade school...operator.

In this manner a message could be sent thousands of miles at the greatest speed the world knew at the time.

This in my opinion was the true purpose and significance of the Great Wall of China.

It was the beginning of the internet.

Much more than a grade school game... I have heard that the penalty for messing up the transmittance of the message was death.

As a highway, the 'wall' was in most places capable of carrying four horses abreast... surely the fastest way to deploy an army along this massive frontier.

An amazing thing the Great Wall of China.

It isn't so much a wall at all.

No one in the world knew that I was here. When last I spoke to my parents from a payphone in Japan I told them I was trying to hitchhike to Australia on frieght ships. Shanghai was as close as I was able to get. I figured I'd jump a ship there in the port that was headed to Oz.

The Chinese port authorities had a different plan. They found me wandering from ship to ship and threw me in the back of a jeep. They took me to a gaurd house where I spent many hours being questioned... searched... had two Japanese Playboy magazines and a Bible taken from me.

It was the Bible that offended the soldiers. When they found that... a phone call was made. A more well dressed soldier arrived to talk to me... obviously a man in charge... he made them bring me tea and the soldiers began to treat me well.

He was very curious about the Bible... he questioned me about it as he flipped through the Playboy. He layed it out to me in pretty good english... he said 'you are a missionary' in an accusatory tone.

I had to laugh as he unfolded the centerfold... I was no missionary... the Bible was a curiousity I was given in Japan... it was written in Japanese. The other contents of my backpack should have keyed him in rather quickly. Again and again he angled the accusation at me from different directions.

Finally... the Bible was thrown into the garbage can next to his desk... the two playboy magazines put into his desk drawer... my whiskey flask uncapped for him to sniff...

He called the soldiers... spoke to them in a manner that I knew only meant that they were being ordered to do something.

'Welcome to China' he said, clearly admititng defeat in his interrogation... 'you cannot walk around my port. The soldiers will take you to the gate.'

He shook my hand and removed himself as the soldiers... much more courteous now... led me to the jeep and drove me to the entrance to the port. They looked disappointed that they weren't gonna be allowed to smack me in the head a few times with their rifle butts.

Instead of journeying on to Australia... I would find my way around China. Life does have a funny way of throwing these detours at us.

Shanghai was mine.

It was the fork in the road that led me to the Great Wall at Badalung.
