    I am a Marine Surveyor, Cassens Marine LLC in Southeast Louisiana. I have used The Flitz Metal Pre-Clean on Fiberglass, Stainless Steel and Aluminum surfaces that were stained streaked and or discolored.

    It removed all blemishes with the first try. After that, I applied Flitz Speedi Seal and the vessel's finishes looked as if they were brand new, instead of a 2004 model year.

    I highly recommend these products!!!
    Oh, also the folks at Flitz were very helpful & friendly!!

    Please please read the directions before using this strong cleaner! This is amazing stuff but you must read the directions because it IS that strong.

    Wow! I love this stuff! I live on the gulf coast and use it on all my boat metal when detailing an old boat with heavy oxidation or water spots but don’t let it sit for too long or dry. Also take care on over spray. It will eat rubber and stain plastic if it’s allowed to sit.

    If you are looking for a strong cleaner, THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED.

A Dying Soldier

By 8th October 2007December 9th, 2019No Comments

Alone in the shadows enveloped in the bitter cold gloom of death.

Darkness creeps and wraps itself around you, it whispers in your ear
You cry out to comrades, but they are already gone
Inside you’re crying, waiting for that last breath.
Numbness shrouds you, it takes over your body, you feel no pain.
Gleaming red blood flows from the lethal bullet wound in your side.

Staring into the stillness that’s filling the air around you.
Only suffering now for those loved ones you leave behind
Lying in your bleak grave of painful deaths already done
Death is coming now peace is close by your side
In the darkness your soul lights the way
Eyes once full of pain are hollow and empty now
Remember us always as time goes by.

Here is the premiere of the full version of our Live 3D SPACEKRAFT filled with breathtaking visual effects for a full immersion experience.

Our live set was a celebration of our 20-year journey in music. Each of the tracks on our SPACEKRAFT album was mixed live with binaural mixes and 440 Hz frequency.

Hope you all enjoy it!

-Flow & Zeo

Special thanks to all the team and partners.

After releasing the iconic album “Spacekraft” celebrating 20 years of career, Flow & Zeo is back on Tropical Beats Music with an energetic release!

With exclusive remixes made by the national masters Felipe Fella with his low and swinging groove imprinting his own production identity, Andre Gazolla an internationally consolidated producer who carries in his luggage his unique creative music production characteristics and the newest Rio de Janeiro producer ISSA with his version filled with melodies, grooves and sensitivity.

The EP “VAMO” leads us to a Latin vibe in a tech house that brings to the dancefloor movement and dynamics with unique percussion and melodies.

Imagine life without music. Would it have the same meaning?

Music is a universal language that brings out the magic of our eternal journey. It is pure energy. It is cosmic poetry expressed in sounds that vibrate through the infinite; it’s an intimate connection delivered by the throbbing of nature and the manifestation of the creative force.

Music is a key that transports us to other dimensions.

It naturally opens the portals of perception.

Rhythms and melodies vibrate within us, and at that moment, we are a part of and connected to something greater.

With an open heart and soul, you understand this connection, at peace that it is unexplainable.

We are all part of the same tribe.

SPACEKRAFT is our musical perception of the planets that exist in the solar system. It is based on our in-depth research into the cosmos, celebrating love and celestial energy.

A long musical path has been charted, and this album brings all the references and knowledge absorbed during this trajectory.
Our latest work is the inspiration for a new awakening—a unique musical trip through the solar system with subliminal messages, 432hz frequencies, and binaural mixes for an immersive experience.

The album’s opening track expresses the playful and timeless atmosphere of the infinite universe, with questions from our subconscious, over downbeats and distorted guitars.

Coming from cosmic dust from the black hole, Mercury begins the journey with all its energy and intensity. Spatial timbres and vocals tone the outer space.

Interpreted by us as a planet led and represented by the feminine force, it expresses power, with the vibration of a hypnotic bass guitar in 432hz.

Love represented with a solid foundation, sensual vocals and an electrifying rhythm, to nourish and addict any environment. We have love, so we have everything.

Pulsing with the frequency of Schumann’s resonance contained in the earth’s electromagnetic field and echoing the multi-ethnic sacred song, it transcends perceptions. Organic percussion and binaural mixing make this song even more visceral.

Shamanic vocals and chromatic notes set the tone for this multicoloured planet, in an engaging and mysterious climax.

Uplifting energy, surrounded by synths that symbolizes Saturn’s rings, with vocals that explore waves of knowledge.

Surrounded by the Kuiper Belt…. atmospheric layers connect the depths of the sea with space. A music set by the sounds of the whales inhabiting the unexplored Mariana Trench, which is considered the deepest point in the ocean.

Exotic and rich in ore, represented here by serious and intense timbres. Vocals imply curiosity about life from other planets, surfing in captivating melodies and grooves.

Introduced by a gypsy guitar, with a revolutionary peace speech, ending this journey with timbres that refer to the acid of the 90s, to open the mind and heart to different musical textures perceptions.

Terra 3D Binaural Audio (Headphones Only)
A ritualistic reimagining of the original Terra with a deeper sensorial journey conducted by a Binaural Mix. Enjoy this track with your headphones for a uniquely special experience.

Pumpic: The virtual guardian

words Al Woods

Child safety is the biggest concern of every parent. In the 90’s, parents were worried about kidnappers and burglars, but 21st-century parents have much more to deal with.

Parents have to ensure the safety of the child not only in the real world but also in the virtual world.

Every parent is afraid that their teen will be left alone on the streets, but as they get older, there are not so many choices.

Similarly, with the dangers of phishing, cyberbullying, adult content, and much more on the Internet, they do not want to hand over any device to a child. However, there are also benefits to using the Internet, for example, access to unlimited knowledge and the opportunity to learn new things for free.

child safety online

Therefore, at some point they will have to give the child access to a device.

Parental control apps help parents reduce their worries, and the best parental control app is Pump. It helps to keep an eye on children not only in the real world but also online.

Pumpic helps parents monitor their child’s activity online through a secure web-based account. WebWatcher gets Pumpic. So both apps have the same features.

The Pumpic app is easy to use because the developers think that parents may not be interested in a lot of technical skills. Here are some guidelines from which you can easily configure the app:

  1. Install the Pumpic app (WebWatcher) from your play store or apple store. It is both android and IOS compatible.
  2. Choose a subscription plan (of WebWatcher app); the plans are based on the features you would want to use.
  3. Once done, you have to now install the app on the devices which you want to monitor. The developers say that the installation will not take more than five minutes.
  4. Once it is installed, you can track all the activities using the web-based Pumpic panel or the app Pumpic panel. The web-based version is recommended for faster monitoring.

How does Pumpic help parents?

  • It helps track the SMS and the MMS which the child receives and sends from their phone. Monitoring their conversations can help parents be at peace that their young one has not fallen into any traps, which could mislead them.
  • Teenagers often delete messages which they don’t want parents to see, but with this app, they can be accessed.
  • The World Wide Web is filled with content that sometimes is inappropriate for teenagers. Monitoring their web history will help them ensure that they are not using the internet for any other purpose than studying.
  • Kids are often bullied on social media by their peers. With parents able to monitor the social media activities, they can ensure no one is harming their child. Cyberbullying can leave long term effects on the mental health of a person.
  • Working parents can’t always pick and drop their children. Hence once they are old enough, they allow them to walk back home. However, parental are still on edge about them reaching safely. With GPS monitoring, they will always know where the young one is at every minute of the day.

These are only a few features the Pumpic app offers much more.

The generation-y is born into a world of technology while it may have its dangers, but there are ways to tackle those dangers. One of the weapons to protect the child is the Pumpic app.

Today, I got my new work schedule. I really need the hours. The boss says he can't give me more because the economy is bad. However, he did find enough hours to hire his son last week. This week? Most of my hours were erased and given to the new employee; his daughter. FML

shag his daughter

Does no one realize the OP is a woman? >.>

He doesn't seem favoritive at all... Sucks even more if it's a small business since there's virtually no one to contact to complain to.

the BBB FTW!!!

Like the OP will get anywhere with the BBB, but I guess it's worth a shot.

I think you havea deacent case. That has got to be against some law. Or maby some top management will fire him for that

it's a shitty practice, but it's completely legal

legal but completely unfair! the economy is bad so he forgets others for his kids.. what an effing jerk. other ppl meed jobs too

How the fuck is that unfair? In tough times, the guy gives priority to those who mean most to him. That's what people have been doing since the dawn of man, and for pretty damn good evolutionary reasons. If the OP had some marketable skills, she wouldn't be so easily replaceable.

It could also be a Family business... in which case it wouldn't make sense NOT to give his kids more hours....

not if OP is a better worker than they are, if so you might have a case

tweetbaby14 18

well I'm his other daughter and I'll be filling the last position.

to OP's daughter: thats stupid. completely.

It isn't the OPs daughter my friend.. IRONY

how is that ironic in any way?

Ajjas013 6

He spelled idiocy wrong ;)

someone who actually needs that spot could fill it. it shouldnt be family!

need some extra tears for lubricant...

Unemployment benefits have been extended to over a year. I think they stand at about 60 weeks now. Their are already plans to extend them more.

OP should apply for partial unemployment benefits. If he isn't getting the hours he was hired on for, anyway. And yes, contact the Department of Labor over that illegal discrimination. I have seen this happen, and it sucks. FYL.

@Snickerdoodle. What good is a job if you get no hours? I'd rather get paid to look for a better job, aka unemployment... time to get fired.

or get paid with no hours

or just bang his daughter ...

shag his daughter

He is acting perfectly reasonably given the economy... if it is not legal, it definitely should be. Everyone should be able to hire whoever he wants for whatever reason. "Labour board" sounds like something out of USSR. Of course, it sucks to be on the losing end of free market, so FYL

yeah Russia is doing really well with capitalism.

Best Bang For the Buck?
Hi folks,

I'm just starting to think about planning another trip to Africa. I've been to Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa and Botswana thus far. I'm interested in nature photography including animals and landscapes, safaris and birds. So I'm pretty flexible and open to lots of different experiences. I'm wondering if you all have any recommendations or know any travel agents who are knowledgeable enough to help me find some places or give me some guidance on where the current best bangs for the buck are? Have safari prices come down significantly given the global economic crisis?

To give you some idea of what we like. Our last trip was to Djuma Vuyatela in Sabi Sands and then the Kwando Camps in Botswana. We had a fabulous experience. Our last trip was during the green season. If we return to Southern Africa I think I'd like to go during the Southern Hemisphere Fall/Winter.

Appreciate any ideas you all have!

cary999 Feb 19th, 2009 05:39 PM

Biggest help to my safari budget has been the USD getting stronger. You also from USA?

Kenya is great, but I've been to only one camp there. Like to go back. How did you like Djuma Vuyatela and compared to Kwando I've heard mixed reviews on Djuma. FWIW, I've been to SA in Sept every year since 2005 and going back this year.

regards - tom

atravelynn Feb 19th, 2009 05:53 PM

&Beyond and Wilderness both have deals of extra nights if you book a minimum. Footsteps in Africa does too.

Mobiles in Botswana offer a big savings from the permanent tented camps. I did one through Wilderness that was outstanding and that's probably how I'll be seeing Botswana in the future.

Real bang for buck would be self driving in Kruger. I would not choose it, but there are many great accounts in trip reports and wildlife was plentiful.

For agents, why don't you first try the one you used last time and see what they are offering? Ask for a repeat customer discount.

A variety of agents for Southern Africa have been mentioned here. Fodors Africa book, <u>Complete African Safari Planner</u> lists quite a few. In no order, here are some I recall were mentioned positively
Rhino--S. Africa
Go2Africa--S. Africa
Southern Destinations--S. Africa
Africa Travel Resource--UK
The Africa Adventure Company--Ft. Lauderdale
Eyes on Africa--Chicago
Fish Eagle--Houston

Here is list of Nat Geo best Adventure Companies
Not that these would be the only good ones, but you know that they are real companies and not scams. In these times stability and longevity is more important than in the past.

Good luck and please share any tremendous deals you find.

Toddao Feb 19th, 2009 06:25 PM

We had a great experience at Djuma. We loved our room and plunge pool. I really enjoyed relaxing by the plunge pool and watching the birds. We had a Woodland Kingfisher hanging out just feet away that I was able to get great photos of. We also had many wonderful sightings on our safari drives. So I had no complaints there at all. You can see some photos of Djuma on my website here:

Thanks for the info. We used Green Rhino out of South Africa before. They do a lot of travel for US government folks and my partner is a CDC scientist, so I may contact them again. I will definitely post any good deals I find and welcome any other feedback from others.

I like the idea of Mobile in Botswana and would love to learn more...

Thanks again,

LAleslie Feb 19th, 2009 06:33 PM

Todd, I just read recently on this board that Uncharted Africa has some good mobiles, and that made my ears prick up. But their camps tend to be expensive.

cary999 Feb 19th, 2009 06:53 PM

Todd - nice photos, I can see why you're into it.

Lynn reminded me of Kruger. One of our favorite safaris. Fly into JNB, rent car, drive to Kruger, 6 hours. Kruger simple bungalow, $70 per night, 2 people. Make you own game drive(s), be your own ranger. After a week or so there drive out and over to a safari camp in Sabi Sand or Timbavati Reserves. Camps quoting rates in SA Rand are a $$$ bargain compared to last year. Short flight back to JNB and home. But however, that would not be so different like a tented mobile in Botswana.

BTW, you associated with Todd-AO? (Just curious, I'm not).

regards - tom

craig_beal Feb 19th, 2009 09:23 PM

hi todd,

after 25 trips to southern africa, the safari experience sometimes needs a break. if you are looking for beautiful scenery, wide open landscape (and some animals) i would go to namibia. their "high season" is may-sep which is the winter. you will capture some of the most amazing photography here. one other advantage is that the camps are mostly priced in namibian currency which is pegged to the rand which has deprecitated 40% against the dollar in the past few months. book now for june-sep and pay the whole trip in full is my recomendation. i recommend wilderness safaris as they have a full circuit of camps. at a lower price point, the safari and adventure company (SAC) also has a geographically diverse camp collection. all SAC camps are accesible by rental car. since you have been on safari a few times, you should consider self-driving namibia. long drives but big savings can be had.

i have been to vuyatella (dec '08) and the areas where kwando camps are. i think you will find namibia amazing.

can't recommend operators as it violates fodors rules.

the above recomendation was based on your post title of "best bang for the buck". to really preserve your travel dollar, book with a US based travel company that has been in business long enough to be covered for bankruptcy protection by the major travel insurance companies. this is really important these days.

Todd, I really enjoyed your photos. Just curious if they were taken hand-held; if not, how did you stabilize?

barryozed Feb 20th, 2009 12:39 PM

We went to Africa twice last year, so were very concerned for bang for the buck.

We went to Serengeti in March and used that does trips from USA, London or just land package. After endless checking we found them to give best value for the money.

In September we went through Tanya of who help organize our wedding and Honeymoon all on Safari in South Africa (2 weeks) It was great. Look at the walking Safari Camps at Ngala Tented Camps in Timbivarti and Exeter in Sabi Sands. We got discounts of stay 4 nights pay for 3 which was great.

Both those agents were great and we felt we got plenty of value for our money. We are planning on going back later this year and will be using Tanya again for a visit to Phinda, Vic falls and Botswana.

Good luck.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. You've given me some good food for thought and a starting point to begin planning. I'll keep you posted.

sdb2 I did take a tripod with me, but I never used the tripod while in the safari vehicles. I used a Kinesis bean bag which I filled with whatever grain/beans were cheapest wherever we went, and then left it for the staff when we moved on.

Thanks for the info, Todd! Steve

Facebook continues to develop artificial intelligence for its service

Facebook has unveiled TextStyleBrush, an artificial intelligence research project capable of mimicking, editing, and replacing handwritten text and scene using just one word in an image. Facebook researchers have developed the first self-supervised artificial intelligence model that can transcribe the text in handwritten scenes and in the real world using just one example of a word. And the past few years have shown that faces, voice, and lip movements can be copied using artificial intelligence.

The company notes that while most AI systems can copy and replace text for well-defined, specialized tasks, TextStyleBrush is different because it can reproduce the text in both handwriting and real-world scenes. Doing so is more difficult for the AI model because of the different text options and nuances.

And Facebook indicated that this means understanding the unlimited text patterns of different typography and font and also different transformations, such as rotation, curved text, and distortions that occur between paper and pen when writing by hand.

According to Facebook, TextStyleBrush is the first self-supervised artificial intelligence model that can copy and replace text in handwritten scenes and in the real world using just one example of a word from an image. The company said it showed high accuracy in automated tests and user studies for any type of text. Adding that she intends to submit the work to a scientific journal for judgment.

Facebook and Artificial Intelligence

The AI model works in a similar way to the pattern brush tools used in word processors. In this case, the method is applied to the aesthetics of text in images. However, Facebook researchers using TextStyleBrush decided to abandon the traditional methods. Which includes defining specific criteria such as writing style or supervision of the target style.

Facebook said, we're taking a more comprehensive training approach, separating text image content from all aspects of its appearance in the entire word box. The general appearance representation can then be applied as a starting point without retraining on new source pattern samples.

However, TextStyleBrush is not without limitations. The company said: These restrictions include working with text written with metal objects or text with letters of different colors. Facebook acknowledges that deep fake text attacks are a problem. By publishing her research publicly, she said, she hopes to encourage new research to prevent these attacks.

The company says that if AI researchers can build this technology first, they can learn how to better detect this new type of deep fake and build robust systems to combat it.

7 Beacon Technology Retail Strategies to Increase Sales

Beacon technology helps boost store foot traffic and drive sales. Below, we explore beacon technology retail strategies that retailers can use in-store.

We may receive compensation from partners and advertisers whose products appear here. Compensation may impact where products are placed on our site, but editorial opinions, scores, and reviews are independent from, and never influenced by, any advertiser or partner.

Since the advent of e-commerce, brick-and-mortar retailers have consistently implemented new in-store technologies in a bid not only to revamp and revitalize the customer experience but to offer customers an immersive “omnichannel” experience.

Efficiency is key for the modern customer. From next-day delivery to same-day pickup, customers can’t get enough of having their needs met with minimal effort required. Beacon technology takes efficiency to the next level by leveraging customer location data and combining it with useful push notifications — think discounts and promotions — sent directly to customers’ phones.

Let’s check out what beacon technology is in practice, its benefits, and the beacon technology strategies you can employ in your own store.

Overview: What is beacon technology?

Beacon technology was first introduced by Apple, way back in 2013, by way of Bluetooth. Bluetooth beacons, small hardware devices that are placed in stores, act as sensors that detect nearby smartphones.

As a proximity marketing strategy, retailers use mobile beacons that can both gather information about customer movements and send alerts to customers’ phones to optimize and personalize the in-store experience.

Information on discounts, promotions, events, and more can be sent directly to customers’ phones. This information is often highly-tailored and personalized to each individual customer.

However, for beacon technology to work, the customer must have the store’s app downloaded on their phone and Bluetooth turned on and have consented to receive notifications.

Beacon technology hardware is inexpensive and easy to install, and there are multiple types of hardware to choose from:

  • Standard beacons: These are usually the size of Wi-Fi routers and used for indoor tracking.
  • USB beacons: As the name suggests, these are deployed as USB flash drives.
  • Parent beacons: These are used to track other smaller beacons and store data in the cloud.

3 benefits of using beacon technology

Both retailers and customers can benefit from beacon technology in a range of ways:

1. Highly personalized customer experience

Since beacons are focused on customer location, retailers have the opportunity of sending highly personalized and targeted push notifications to customers’ phones once they open the app.

Beacons, with micro-location technology, can detect what part of the store a customer is in and send offers aligned with this location. The beacon can also facilitate the delivery of offers or retailer promotions based on customers’ past purchase behavior. While customers win a discount, you can win a repeat customer.

2. Captured customer insights

As retailers, it’s important to know your customers inside out. What days are best for offering coupons or discounts? How long do customers spend in different parts of the store? What items do they typically buy together?

Beacons capture data that can help retailers analyze customer behavior and make in-store adjustments or changes that will drive sales and boost customer engagement.

3. Enhanced customer engagement

Beacons present an opportunity for not just enhanced customer engagement but better engagement. As beacon technology is used primarily for sending customers useful content such as deals, discounts, and offers, customers are much more likely to engage with the content consistently.

If a customer walks into your store one day and receives a 15% discount, they’re much more likely to interact with your app in the future.

7 best beacon technology strategies to use in your retail store

Multiple retailers have successfully used beacon technology as part of their retail management strategies. Below we explore some beacon technology retail strategies you can implement in your own store to boost foot traffic and sales.

1. Help customers find the exact products they need

When customers enter a store with a shopping list or specific items in mind, they often want to find those products straight away. In-store signage can help, but beacon technology can go one step further and guide customers directly to the products they need.

Target, for example, uses beacon technology to map routes for customers to help them locate products on an aisle-by-aisle basis. Customers enter their shopping lists into the app, and the app will produce an automatic shopping plan for them, with products highlighted as pins on the app’s store map.

2. Let customers know if previously added products are in stock

Providing an omnichannel retail experience means delivering customers an integrated shopping experience. Beacon technology presents a perfect opportunity to bridge the gap between customers’ online and offline shopping behavior.

Nordstrom, for instance, uses beacon technology to notify their customers via their app that an item they have in their mobile shopping cart is available in the store.

3. Offer in-store freebies

What better way to prolong a customer’s in-store engagement and promote your products than with freebies? You can use beacon technology to send push notifications about freebies and other in-store customer benefits.

Sephora uses beacon technology combined with push-notifications to alert customers that they can claim a free 15-minute, in-store makeover.

4. Use beacon technology to boost your loyalty program

Urban Outfitters is a great example of combining beacon technology and social media to boost its loyalty programs and keep customers engaged in the store.

When customers enter an Urban Outfitters store, they are prompted to check in on social media which will then provide them with a personalized offer to use.

5. Entice customers to make a purchase

Beacon technology can be used to tempt customers into making a purchase. Say, for example, a customer has been in the bags and purses aisle for a while. This means that they are likely currently at the point-of-purchase (POP) stage of the customer journey — deciding whether to make a purchase or not.

Sending a push notification with a discount code to be shown at checkout or other offer on bags and purses might push the customer to finally purchase the product they were lingering on.

6. Track and analyze customers’ in-store locations

Like Macy’s, you can use beacon technology to track your customers’ movements around the store to inform your retail merchandising, store layout, and retail inventory management plans.

Accessing real-time information on customers’ movements within your store can give you insights on how they interact with products, and help you push promotional marketing content directly to their phones.

7. Notify customers of discounts, offers, and coupons

Instead of making your customers clip physical coupons, deliver promotions and coupons directly to their phone.

At its Duane Reade locations, Walgreens sends its customers coupons and discounts. Customers can digitally “clip” coupons and redeem with their smartphones. This helps influence customers’ in-store purchase decisions.

A future beacon of the retail market

Beacon technology comes with low overheads and big advantages. Though it’s been around for a while, retailers continue to use it to revolutionize the in-store customer experience. While customers benefit from a seamless and highly personalized shopping experience, retailers benefit from the wealth of customer data collected.

Given COVID-19’s impact, this contactless digital technology provides an opportunity for retailers to adjust shopping experiences even further. Using intuitive retail solutions like beacon technologies alongside your retail management software solution can help propel the future of your retail store to success.

Premier League latest: Burnley announce improvements to training complex

In a week when Premier League Burnley field an all United Kingdom side for the third match running it was fitting that the club full of 'home' grown talent should announce improvements to its Gawthorpe training complex.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche believes the club's plans to make huge improvements to their training complex are vital for the club’s long-term future.

The Clarets confirmed that they have submitted a detailed planning application to Burnley Borough Council, which includes a new indoor training facilities, first team and academy training buildings and three new pitches.

That would be complemented by a team meeting room, a guest lounge for parents, a match analysis suite, medical facilities, offices, a players; lounge, drug-testing room, gym and hydro pool.

The club already have planning permission to build an indoor pitch on the current site, but they have expanded the plans as they look to reach category two status under the Premier League’s Elite Player Performance Plan.

Local residents have been contacted and will have their opportunity to comment on the plans at a meeting in the new year.

Dyche said: “The way football is going at any level the importance of facilities has grown radically throughout my career and into coaching and management.

“I don’t know the official stat but 90 or 95 per cent of a player’s professional life is at the training ground so it’s important the facilities are right.

“We have generally good facilities here, it must be said. It’s not like we’re training on cabbage patches, we have a very good pitch but there’s not a lot of them.

“Although our facility is small it’s very usable. We have all the support systems we need with analysts and sports science, dietary requirements etc.

“But space is at a premium and pitches are at a premium.

“This would be a big step forward.

“There’s obviously a long way to go with planning but making it open to everyone shows true signs of what they’re looking to do.

“There has to be a base beyond just what’s going on with the immediacy, which is of course very important.

“The club’s been here for forever it seems and it needs to go on forever.”

 Chief executive Lee Hoos said: “Going forward this is an absolutely critical piece of work for the club.

“We need to give the players the best opportunities for training and development.”

For the record, Injuries to Northern Ireland’s Michael Duff and the Republic of Ireland’s Stephen Ward have seen the Clarets field a full team of players from Great Britain in each of their last three games – the first time any Premier League side has done so since Blackpool during the 2010/11 season.

WARREN BELL LEANS OUT OF HIS flour-dusted office overlooking the bakery at Bagels by Bell in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn. "Get me a bag of Japan samples," he barks to workers stretching dough and tending ovens below.

Within minutes he's got his hands full of chocolate chip, peanut butter and banana nut bagels. Okay, so it's more Baskin-Robbins than Lower East Side. The Japanese happen to like their baked goods on the sweet side. Catering to their tastes has helped this once-sleepy business rise, bolstering Bell's top line by about a quarter to $1.2 million a year.

It wasn't love at first bite. Bell was peddling almost all his bagels and bialys to stores on the East Coast until he met Kanji Kitamura, a Japanese distributor, at a trade show in 1998. They decided to introduce Bell's bialys--flatter than a bagel and hole-less, they're made with water, flour, yeast, salt and ground onions--to Japan. But given the Japanese proclivity for sweets, Bell tried to reengineer the recipe his family's been using for 50 years, adding chocolate chips, apple-cinnamon and blueberry flavorings. "They had me putting sugar in my bialys," says Bell, still horrified at the recollection. Still, he realized, "If the customer wants something and if he's going to pay for it, you make it happen."

But the Japanese hated them. So Kitamura encouraged Bell to redesign his bagels--a minor craze in Japan--folding the sweet ingredients into the dough. (A pure New Yorker will not tolerate even minor adulterations, like raisins.) They're flying off shelves in Tokyo and Osaka. Sold under the name Bagel K, with "Made in New York" prominently printed on the label, Bell's Japanese bagels make up about 20% of his sales. Last year he doubled his freezer space and hired nine additional employees to help meet demand. Bell is selling 120,000 bagels a month for $22,000 to Kitamura. The additional cost of sweet flavorings lowers Bell's net margins to 4%. But the boost in sales makes it worthwhile. "I'm still a little guy," he says. "Japan gave us a big kick."

There could be a kick of a different sort. In Japan Bell's gourmet bagels--sent frozen to department stores, where they cost $1.20 to $1.60 each--compete easily against supermarket imports like Lender's and Sara Lee. Quality competition, however, comes from fresh-baked bagels, which are gaining in popularity. It takes five weeks for Bell's bagels to journey to Japan (they can last up to 11 months). Which doesn't cut it with the young women who flock to Hiroshi Okamoto's E-Street Bagels in Tokyo; they're served bagels only a few hours old. "The market here is really starting to recognize how good a [fresh] bagel can be,"says Okamoto.

Kitamura argues that no one makes a bagel--even a frozen one--like a New Yorker, and that will keep Bagel K in demand. Bell, however, is already cooking up plan B. He is currently testing a cinnamon bun for Japan and says he's pleased with early taste tests. Hoping to branch further abroad, he is also scouting for distributors in Mexico and the U.K. Bell recently borrowed $300,000 to buy a custom-built mixing machine that he says will double production when it arrives this spring. And to house all that dough, Bell is negotiating to buy another building to expand his bakery. Globalization, even on a tiny scale, has led to other modernizations. "Look at that," exclaims Bell, 46. "We got a computer!"

Quite a change for the little neighborhood bakery his dad took over in 1947. Bell started working alongside his father in the 1950s, and had to stand on a milk crate to reach the dough. The bakery has grown sevenfold since then--mostly on Bell's watch.

He also hopes to see his U.S. sales grow. Bell aims to push traditional bialys, which originated in Poland's Bialystok, on snackers across America beginning on the eastern seaboard. He's paying for a supermarket ad campaign--"What's a bialy?"--designed to educate non-New Yorkers. But those Americans may be an even tougher sell than the Japanese. Not a whole lot of folks are eager to have onion breath at 9 a.m.

Pedri Breaks $1.1 Billion—Why Barcelona Sets Huge Release Clauses

Henry Flynn

Barcelona has made itself crystal clear. Or so it seems. Pedri, its precious 18-year-old midfielder, has signed a new contract that includes one eye-popping number. Anyone intent on acquiring the Spaniard will have to trigger his €1 billion ($1.1 billion) release clause from now on.

At face value, it appears straightforward. In reality, there is a little more to it. Barcelona regularly slaps astronomical figures on its best players, as does rival Real Madrid, whose long-standing forward Karim Benzema also has a €1 billion ($1.1 billion) exit term. The figure is not the only important thing, though. What counts is the thinking behind it.

The widely accepted view goes something like this: Barcelona values Pedri, so much so that it will only take a massive bid to consider releasing him. If believed, the same logic would apply to the other squad members, many of whom command steep transfer sums in their contracts. However, to fully accept this rationale would be to predict the future—Pedri and his teammates stay or leave for a lot of money.

Barcelona remains burdened by desperate finances. While not impossible, it is a brave ploy to bet on receiving billion-dollar offers any time soon if that is all they will accept. Neymar is still the most expensive soccer commodity ever, yet his €222 million ($258 billion) move to Paris in 2017 is not even a quarter of the amount Pedri would require to switch clubs one day. With the soccer calendar no longer disturbed and stadiums bouncing again, clubs will gradually recover, and the market could yet reach such heights, but probably not for a while.

It is hard to see the Catalans refusing good money when they need it. Portuguese winger Francisco Trincão is on loan at Premier League side Wolves with some reports suggesting the English club may end up signing him for €25 million ($29 million). That is despite his release clause standing at €500 million ($580 million). Should it eventually wish to sell, Barcelona could, in theory, look for a legal loophole to accept a lower proposal.

If anything, the big numbers serve more like statements of intent. They mean Barcelona enters negotiations with greater bargaining power, which proved true when Neymar left for big bucks. On that occasion, Barcelona’s wish came true. But this has not always been the case, as Lionel Messi’s departure terms proved when the yardsticks changed as his contract ran down. In the end, Barcelona did not receive the €700 million ($812 million) release clause amount on his contract.

Another reason such clauses exist—for better or worse in La Liga—is the country itself. Spanish law dictates that workers are permitted to pursue new employment freely, and the soccer world, where wages soar, is no exception. If a suitable offer arrives, a player is free to go.

That begs another question, which is why some agree to extravagant exit clauses. Though conceivable that extending with high sign-on fees leaves them tied down if another suitor cannot table the required amount, it assures players of their value to the team. At this juncture, with Messi no longer at the Camp Nou, doing so is crucial.

Gerard Piqué, Memphis Depay and Phillipe Coutinho are important to Barcelona, but not those to shape the side’s future. Instead, youngsters Pedri, Gavi and Ansu Fati will be the ones. Barcelona president Joan Laporta is working on a long-term plan to rebuild the club after an unsettling spell on and off the field. The trio is integral to this vision. Ansu and Gavi could pen bumper deals soon, though, as Marca highlights, talks with the former have been progressing slowly.

While there are some holes in the trend of release clauses, there are none such for Pedri. The teenager, who has already made over 50 appearances for the Blaugrana, is committed to the Barcelona vision. In his case, trusting and protecting him rather than being pressured by a large number makes sense. For some individuals, going all out to keep them is a reasonable tactic. The quantities conjured are often excessive, though.

Pedri is currently out of action due to a leg injury and missed Barcelona’s victory over Valencia in La Liga. When he returns to the fold, he will play the first of many more games.

New Executive Order May Put Palliative Care For Newborns At Risk

Nina Shapiro

There are few advances in medicine as remarkable as those in the treatment of extremely premature newborns. Babies born more than three weeks prior to a full-term 40-week pregnancy are considered to be premature; those born before 28 weeks are considered to be extremely premature. Progress in specialty care of extremely premature newborns, many of these babies weighing less than 2 pounds, has led to substantial improvements in both short term an long term outcomes in their lives. The majority of these advances are related to improvement in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) management. Advancements in ventilator management, and proactive recognition and prevention of heart, brain, and lung issues have meant substantially fewer complications due to prematurity, and substantially improved outcomes in the lives of these children, into adulthood.

In addition to neonatal care, advancements in prenatal studies such as genetic evaluations and radiographic images, including 3-dimensional ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has enabled physicians specializing in maternal-fetal medicine (obstetricians who care for high-risk pregnancies) and neonatologisits (pediatricians who specialize in the care of newborns) to better prepare for higher level newborn care, months and weeks prior to delivery.

This progess in medical management gets blurred when one speaks of palliative care for newborns, where the decision is made to forego invasive medical interventions, letting the newborn pass away in the setting of receiving multiple modalities of comfort care. In some instances, this decision is discussed after birth, either in the days and hours subsequent to delivery, or even months later, when no medical intervention can be instituted to improve the dismal outcome for the child. In other cases, this decision might be discussed during pregnancy, when prenatal testing reveals multiple severe abnormalities that would preclude viability. Usually such devastating anomalies can be discovered early in pregnancy, in the first 12 to 18 weeks, but some may not be found until the third trimester, after 26 weeks of pregnancy. In still other situations, pediatric palliative care may be discussed for older infants and children, where a devastating illness or injury may lead to consideration for end-of-life discussions. While palliative care is typically thought of as an option for end-stage illnesses in adults, palliation for children, and, yes, newborns is a critical part of pediatric medicine.

On September 25, 2020, President Trump signed an Executive Order directing the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to ensure that all hospitals provide medical care for all infants and newborns, even those with severe disabilities or prematurity. According to HHS Secretary Alex Azar, “The President’s Executive Order is another step by the most pro-life President in American history and ensures that we provide the same protections for innocent infants who are born premature or with disabilities that we provide for every other American.” In addition, the order highlights that all federally funded hospitals must offer medical interventions for severely premature infants, including those born under 24 weeks gestation, and to offer non-discriminatory access to medical care for newborns with severe disabilities.

Many have previously referred to this order as the “Born Alive” order, as it would mandate that any fetus born alive after an abortion must receive emergency medical care to prolong life. Dating back to the Spring 2019, the emphasis on prolonging the life of a newborn with such severe anomalies deemed by physicians to be incompatible with life, has led to massive debates between anti-abortion activists and maternal-fetal-medicine specialists, neonatologists, and pediatric palliative care specialists. While it is extraordinarily rare for a fetus to survive after an abortion, and extremely rare for abortions to take place in the third trimester (after 26 weeks pregnancy), concerns for the notion that physicians are “executing babies,” according to Trump, has muddied these already murky waters: The President has described these events as follows: “The baby is born. The mother meets with the doctor. They take care of the baby. They wrap the baby beautifully. And then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby.”

Physicians who care for extremely ill newborns and children, and parents who have made the unfathomably difficult decision to terminate a pregnancy in the third trimester or withdraw and/or forego aggressive medical interventions due to extreme anomalies or irreparable injuries such as head injuries leading to brain death, see this executive order quite differently. Some physicians have considered such extreme, painful, painstaking interventions on an individual who is suffering, without viability, as injurious or cruel.

Dr. Judith Brill, Pediatric Anesthesiologist, Professor Emeritus, and former Director of the Pediatric Critical Care Division at Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA has had over 35 years of experience treating critically ill children both at UCLA as well as worldwide on medical missions: “One of the most difficult moments while caring for a critically ill baby or child is when we come to the realization that none of our sophisticated, technologically advanced and up to date treatments will be able to change or even improve the child's ultimate outcome. Indeed, to add to the feelings of helplessness and futility, we experience moral distress as we continue to help heal the child despite knowing that he or she will not improve or recover, and that our efforts are causing needless pain and suffering. This is the time when providing palliative care is the appropriate direction to take. Palliative care is by no means NO care; the child is not ignored, not left alone to suffer and die.” In fact, quite the opposite takes place. Dr. Brill notes that the infant or child is “given treatment that provides comfort, relieves suffering, alleviates pain, and makes his or her last weeks, days or hours tranquil and peaceful. We don't make any decisions regarding treatment, including palliative or comfort care, without thoughtful, informative and open discussions with the child's parents and loved ones.”

The field of newborn palliative care is relatively new, with recognition of the value of palliation in this population in the 1980’s. Means of promoting thoughtful care for life-limiting conditions diagnosed either prenatally or in the minutes, hours, days, or weeks after birth have allowed for better pain assessment and management, family-centered care, and much needed time for bereavement. The practice of humane, kind, and ethical care is now becoming a critical component of perinatal care of vulnerable newborns with limited life expectancy. According to an article published in 2018 from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine, “There remains a need to integrate palliative care with intensive care rather than await its application solely at the terminal phase of a young infant’s life—when s/he is imminently dying. Future considerations for applying neonatal palliative care include its integration into fetal diagnostic management, the developing era of genomic medicine, and expanding research into palliative care models and practices in the NICU.”

There’s a lot of competition these days for coveted real estate on the first Google search engine results page. With Google receiving trillions of searches every year, search engine optimization (SEO) is one of the most powerful tools for marketers to increase organic traffic to their websites.

As the founder of an online gold and precious metals broker, I’ve had to refine our marketing strategy over the years to avoid techniques that Google considers exploitative of its search engine guidelines. Below, I’ve put together a list of some of the hard lessons I’ve learned in the decade since I created Regal Assets when it comes to “black hat” SEO and how not to get flagged for Google penalties that can negatively impact your search rankings.

What is black hat SEO?

Google’s Webmaster Guidelines set the ground rules for your SEO strategy. If you incorporate techniques or SEO ranking shortcuts that go against Google’s guidelines, you’re committing black hat SEO — something that any serious marketer or website owner should avoid at all costs.

If Google detects that your website is using black hat SEO, they may issue a penalty. Receiving a penalty from Google will trigger an update to its PageRank algorithm such that your website’s ranking performance will be downgraded or, in worst-case scenarios, entirely delisted by the search engine.

Unsure whether you’re violating Google’s rules? To settle any doubts, there’s one question you should ask yourself: Is your SEO strategy designed to provide value to your readers, or merely to improve your ranking? If your answer is the latter, then you need to rethink your strategy.

Here are some black hat SEO techniques to avoid.

To avoid a Google penalty, be sure to avoid any of the six common black hat SEO tactics listed below.

1. PBNs

Private blog networks (PBNs), used to be commonplace for marketers looking for a quick supply of link equity to a new or underperforming web property. PBNs are a community of high-authority websites built for the sole purpose of link building and promoting sponsored content. These websites are often derided as “link farms” because they’re set up to exploit Google’s PageRank algorithm.

Instead, you should naturally scale your outreach and offer guest blog posts to trusted outlets and platforms without paying for PBN access.

2. Keyword Stuffing

Jamming your articles with as many keywords as possible is no longer an effective strategy for ranking. WordPress and content management system (CMS) plug-ins such as Yoast SEO and All in One SEO can help detect keyword stuffing before you submit an article. The last thing you want is to produce an article that reads unnaturally or like spam — this is a common reason Google hands out PageRank penalties.

While nobody knows for sure what keyword density Google’s PageRank algorithm favors the most, many SEO professionals aim for 1-2% of their article to consist of the keyword they’re trying to rank for.

3. Content Cloaking

Be honest with your visitors. If your article’s title or headline has to do with, say, how to add gold or silver investments to your retirement savings account, don’t mislead them by having the content discuss an unrelated topic like stock market investing. Pulling a bait-and-switch with your readers is called “content cloaking,” and it can land your domain a severe penalty.

4. Article Duplication

Google rewards websites that produce regular, valuable and original content. Republishing content that already exists online, or content that’s only marginally altered from the original, can get you in trouble with Google. Since algorithms can easily detect duplicate web content, always be sure to publish unplagiarized material — even if you were the original author.

5. Comment Spamming

Although it’s becoming rarer, there was once a time when comment sections were flooded with comments written by bots in an effort to build backlinks. Google has since updated its algorithm to weed out and discredit links that arise from spam or bots. In any event, links generated from comment sections tend to carry “nofollow” HTML tags that won’t impact your ranking performance.

6. Buying Links

Links should be earned, not bought. Google discredits links generated via sponsored content or paid guest posts, but passes PageRank (or “link juice”) to domains that are linked to on the merit of their content. Your backlink strategy, in other words, should be organic. A successful link-building strategy starts with producing honest and original value-added content that your readers benefit from engaging with. If you can manage that, the backlinks will pour in naturally over time.

Stay in Google’s good graces.

Ultimately, Google is in the business of making the internet a better place for its users. As long as you’re striving to provide the most value for your readers, Google will reward your website and credit it with additional domain authority.

Although so-called white hat strategies may take longer to generate results, the results they bring in will be sustainable, and you won’t have to worry about receiving a penalty or having your website delisted by Google altogether. Simply keeping your content honest, original and insightful is often enough to stay in Google’s good books and drive long-term SEO success.

BrightDrop EV600 Van
General Motors’ new BrightDrop EV600 electric van, coming to a delivery service near you. General Motors

In years past CES—the 180,000-person Las Vegas spectacle formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show—was a peek into the furthest reaches of what tech companies will bring to the public in the not-too-distant future. This year’s show, which was morphed into a virtual experience because of Covid-19, saw major announcements about electric vehicles, autonomous vehicle technology and batteries as well as infotainment and safety systems.

Here are some of the highlights from that showcase the convergence of automotive and tech:

GM’s Second-Gen Ultium Batteries: A Game Changer?

General Motors Gen-II Ultium Batteries
GM’s Ultium batteries (in the copper-colored layer here) are unique, GM says, because the pouch-style cells can be stacked vertically or horizontally inside the battery pack. Lithium-ion batteries cost $1,000 per kilowatt-hour a decade ago, are0 down to $140/kWh now, and GM hopes to hit $100/kWh by mid-decade. General Motors

General Motors CEO Mary Barra said in her CES keynote address that society may be at “an inflection point, beginning our transformation to an all-electric future.” That’s why the automaker is “repositioning” itself to “meet that moment.” One reason for her confidence: the progress made in developing GM’s second-generation Ultium batteries, which the company says will be available mid-decade. They’re a joint venture of GM and LG Chem.

The batteries’ cost will be reduced by 60% and use much less cobalt (which has sourcing and child labor issues), but offer twice the energy density of today’s cells—yielding a range of up to 450 miles, GM says. GM is investing $27 billion in EVs and will launch 30 of them globally through 2025.

GM’s BrightDrop: Let Your Pallets do the Walking

BrightDrop EP1

General Motors also debuted a new division called BrightDrop, aimed at “reducing the time and physical effort it takes to get goods from the warehouse to the destination,” said Pam Fletcher, vice president of innovation. BrightDrop’s all-electric products include a motorized pallet called the EP1 (photo) and a delivery van called the EV600. The EP1 houses locking cabinets that can accompany a handler down a sidewalk or through a warehouse at 3 mph and is due on the market early this year. The EV600, built on GM’s Ultium platform and due late in 2021, offers 600 cubic feet of cargo space and 250 miles of range, ideal for folks like FedEx.

John Deere: Johnny Appleseed’s Robot Army

John Deere 8RX Tractor with 1175 NT planter
Deere’s tractor-planter can accurately place seeds and cover 500 acres in a day, or four-fifths of a square mile. John Deere

What’s a tractor company doing at CES? According to John Deere’s Dan Liebfried, director of automation and autonomy, the company is equipping farm equipment with self-driving technology, GPS and robotics to dramatically speed up operations. With one of the company’s $900,000 8RX tractor and 1175NT planter combinations, a farmer can plant at 10 mph (double the traditional speed), with each robotic row unit precisely planting 100 seeds per second at very accurate depths over up to 500 acres per day.

The Ever-Elusive Commercially Available Flying Car

PAL-V Flying Car
PAL-V Liberty is a propeller-driven Gyroplane with seating for two that can also function as a commuter car. PAL-V

The Dutch company PAL-V gave CES attendees rides—virtual, of course—in the two-seat Liberty, which it describes as “the world’s first commercial flying car.” The Liberty looks like a helicopter in the air but it’s actually a propellor-driven “gyroplane” with non-powered rotating blades that spin with the air and fold up when not in use.  There have been attempts to market flying cars since the 1950s, but none have truly taken off—it’s quite a challenge to build a good car that’s also a good plane. PAL-V, which has been at it 20 years, isn’t there yet, but it has gotten the three-wheeled Liberty certified for use in Europe. Range in the air is up to 300 miles, at about 100 mph.

The Cadillac of Air Taxis

Cadillac Halo VTOL Taxi
GM’s Exhibit Zero is an electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) electric air taxi. General Motors

It’s an “e-VTOL,” and General Motors teased it at CES as part of its Exhibit Zero, becoming only the latest company to work on electric vertical takeoff and landing air taxi concepts. Hyundai, for instance, is also interested. What do we know about the Cadillac Halo? It has a 90-kilowatt-hour battery that would be at home in high-end cars, four rotors, and a top speed of 56 mph. Presumably a single-seater, it would be autonomously guided to its destination. Also shown as part of the Cadillac Halo series was a luxurious van concept that showcased a living-room-style interior that autonomy may make possible.

Coming to Your Windshield: Panasonic’s HUD Display

Panasonic Active HUD Display
Panasonic’s super-HUD shows the exact route to take and places icons on pedestrians, cyclists and other possible hazards. Panasonic

At a CES forum, Andrew Poliak, chief technology officer at Panasonic Automotive, said Americans are “falling in love with their second-most lived-in space—their car.” The love affair has actually been going on quite a while, but the combination of Covid-19 and increasingly sophisticated in-car electronics has deepened it. Panasonic showed something that people definitely will like: a colorful augmented-reality heads-up display that puts useful markers like turn-by-turn directions and hazard warnings on top of the world you’re seeing through the windshield. It could be on the market by 2024. Some automakers already have HUDs that place a turn-here arrow approximately on the exit or cross-street; Panasonic is talking about more objects tagged with more precision.

Harman: For In-Car Creators

Harman EXP
Harman wants to be first to help create multimedia experiences while in the car, and deliver live interactive concert experiences. Harman

Want your car to be “a third living space”? Harman, with a range of well-known consumer audio brands, has debuted ExP, a suite of services designed to enhance what you can do in your car—even when it’s parked. (Home is the first living space, and the office or college dorm is the second.) The apps include Creator Studio, with tools for video production, editing and sharing; and Drive-Live Concert, turning the car seat into an as-it-happens interactive concert experience. Gaming Intense Max is for America’s 213 million (Harman says) mobile gamers. It uses 5G, live streaming and high-resolution displays to provide an immersive experience for up to three players.

Hot-Car Safety Systems To Save Lives

Tata Band
Bluetooth Tata Band alerts the driver if he or she left the kid in the back seat again, avoiding being the subject of a Bad Moms III movie sequel. Filo

Some cars now notify drivers that they’ve left something in the back seat, but Italy’s Filo goes even further with the Tata Band for infants. It clips on to the car’s seat belt and uses a capacitive sensor to locate the child and hook into the driver’s phone via Bluetooth. Leave the car with the kid still in the seat and the Tata Band first sends a notification, followed—if ignored—by a call, and then a general alarm for emergency contacts. It’s not yet on sale in the U.S., but is on its way, and none too soon. Thirty children per year die in the U.S. after having been left in hot cars.

The Solar Car at Last (Sort Of)

Sono Sion Solar Van
Solar panels on this Swedish car could add 20 miles of range per day. A complete recharge might take a week. Sono Motors

Sweden’s Sono Motors, with more than 12,000 reservations, is hoping to put a solar car on the road in Europe as early as 2022. No, the polymer-bodied Sion is not solely powered by the sun—instead, it has a panoply of solar panels integrated into the body panels that can extend the battery range by about 20 miles on a sunny day. With that added, the car has the resources to travel (in optimistic European testing) about 158 miles. Sono calls that “the perfect range for everyday use,” though many consumers will want more. The price is $31,000, and you can get any color as long as it’s black.

Micro-Chip: Mobileye’s Tiny Lidar System

Self-driving cars require an array of sensors that can see and interpret the world around a vehicle. Those sensors are bulky, costly and early on primarily rotated within large dome-like housings. Israeli firm Mobileye, a part of Intel since 2017, built its reputation on making the kinds of Camera and Lidar sensors that make many driver-assist technologies possible. That lane-keeping assist function in your Hyundai? That’s a Mobileye “Camera on a Chip.”

At CES the company showcased a new Lidar “System on a Chip” about the size of a Saltine cracker. That’s much smaller and lighter than even the latest solid-state Lidar sensors from other industry leaders like Bosch and Velodyne. Mobileye CEO Amnon Shashua said the chips, which may be in regular production by 2025, have highly accurate sensing capabilities at up to 200 meters.

Big Troubles shares new track, announces album details, tours with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

MP3 – “Misery”

Big Troubles were formed by a group of kids who had been friends since high school, playing in bands, listening to records and coming of musical age together. As children of the 00’s they’re lucky enough to have a vast history of pop and indie rock to draw upon. Like the best of their peers they’re omnivorous musical consumers, as enamored of classic Brit Pop gems as they are of 90s slacker indie rock. Led by two very gifted singer/song-writers in Alex Craig and Ian Drennan, Big Troubles are that rare beast: a band with two distinctive musical voices that smoothly mesh to create one integrated personality.

Early recordings by the pair were of the lo-fi home recorded variety, but over time they’ve grown (with the addition of drummer Sam Franklin and bassist Luka Usmiani) into a full four piece band to more fully realize their tunes. Their first album Worry (2010) and its attendant singles were excellent fuzz pop records in their own right, but to make their new record the band has taken the step of bringing in help in the form of the legendary Mitch Easter, whose resume includes stone cold classics from the likes of REM, Pavement and his own Let’s Active. With Mr. Easter’s expert engineering help, Big Troubles’ excellent new album Romantic Comedy is a masterpiece of modern pop; a perfect balance of grit and polish, gorgeous guitar sounds and angelic vocals, underpinned by a set of superb songs.

“Misery” is the first taster from Romantic Comedy and a great introduction to Big Troubles, 2011 style. A perfect 2:23 of teen angst fired by a huge bassline and echoed, jangling riffs that are as much 90s Brit Pop as they are 00s indie rock. The sing-along chorus truly seals the deal – this is a band with an ear for a top tune and the ability to hammer it home in a most head-nodding fashion. The rest of Romantic Comedy ably proves that Big Troubles have crafted one of the year’s finest albums, with ace tunes like first single “Sad Girls,” “Misery” and “Time Bomb” being sure-fire entries into the noise-pop canon.
