Lost Outside New York

LOST OUTSIDE NEW YORK demo 90 sec

Lyric: Fabio Colombo
Music: Ambrogio Riva and Fabio Colombo

How would I do without an
Hour of selfish brightness
How would I take back minutes
To make it clear that I am
Lost in you
How would I take my words and
crush them into the door mat
how would I read your eyes and
read them within my eyes and
fall into
how could I bring back flavours
how could I change the questions
wish I could live like I wanted to live
from the time of the snow
till the daylight I’m
lost outside New York
close to a string that rises with the wind
lost outside New York
close to something I never dared to live
I have dreams and sparks to light up the waves
I have fuel and will to take you anywhere
Lost outside New York
I’m where I never dared to sleep
This is just the hidden nest
I never wanted to reveal

Postcard From the Screening Lab Tour – Breaking Bad Invades Houston’s Galleria

Hello there, kiddies! I’m writing this from the second state on our tour: Texas! People say things are bigger and better down here, and I’m starting to understand why. Shoppers at the Houston Galleria were all too happy to break bad with us in what is one of the largest and most impressive shopping destinations I’ve ever seen, coming in at 3 million square feet and over 375 stores. It’s a good thing Marie wasn’t here with us — she’d have had a kleptomania attack for sure — but it was a great place to mingle with Breaking Bad fans.

One of the greatest aspects of this journey is meeting all sorts of people along the way and hearing about their personal experiences and love for the show. Case in point, Channel Richbourg (who was kind enough to let me show you her mug shot): She was in Vegas a few months ago with her husband trying her luck at a game of blackjack when Dean Norris (Hank) pulled up a chair next to hers. As huge fans of Breaking Bad, Channel and her husband were understandably stoked. They hung out with Dean for nearly an hour, and also ended up winning big.

This weekend we’re at the Dallas Autorama, so if you’re in the neighborhood come stop on by for a free mug shot or a Breaking Bad air freshener. (I’ll bet you didn’t think we had those, but just ask Jesse about spending 24 hours a day in an RV and you’ll understand the need for odor control!) Afterwards the tour is off to Austin — and you can bet yours truly will drop a line to tell you all about it.

Amgen Presents Data From Three Trials Evaluating BLINCYTO® (blinatumomab) In Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia At ASH 2015

BLINCYTO, Only Bispecific T Cell Engager (BiTE®) Immunotherapy Approved in US and EU, Shows Benefit in Phase 2 Trial in Patients With Persistent or Recurrent Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)
Data Show Positive Outcomes in Difficult-to-Treat Patient Subpopulations

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Dec. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced that new data from three Phase 2 trials support the efficacy and safety of BLINCYTO® (blinatumomab) in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). These data were presented today in oral sessions at the 57th Annual Meeting and Exposition of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) in Orlando, Fla.

Infographic - Understanding Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)

In a Phase 2 confirmatory multicenter single-arm trial (BLAST), adult patients with B-cell precursor ALL with minimal residual disease (MRD) who received BLINCYTO monotherapy demonstrated clinically meaningful relapse-free survival (RFS), as measured in the key secondary endpoint (abstract #680). Median RFS was 18.9 months following initiation of BLINCYTO. MRD refers to the presence of leukemia blast cells below the limits of detection available with standard assessment. Results from the Phase 2 BLAST trial were nominated for inclusion in the Best of ASH Session on Tuesday, Dec. 8 from 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. ET.

Other presentations demonstrate BLINCYTO's potential in a high risk subpopulation of patients with relapsed or refractory Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) B-precursor ALL (abstract #679) and confirm BLINCYTO's efficacy in a subset of patients with relapsed or refractory Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-) ALL after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT), who typically have poor outcomes with current therapies (abstract #861).

"A key goal in the treatment of blood cancers is to prevent relapse from occurring," said Sean E. Harper, M.D., executive vice president of Research and Development at Amgen. "Achieving a complete minimal residual disease, or MRD response, is important because having no detectable MRD places ALL patients at a lower risk for relapse when compared to patients with persistent or recurrent MRD. The data presented are highly encouraging because they support the potential of BLINCYTO in a broader spectrum of ALL patients, including those at an earlier stage of disease."

ALL is a rare and rapidly progressing cancer of the blood and bone marrow.1,2 In adult patients with relapsed or refractory ALL, median overall survival (OS) is just three to five months.3 Currently, there is no broadly accepted standard treatment regimen for adult patients with relapsed or refractory ALL beyond chemotherapy.4 Around 15-30 percent of adult ALL patients are Ph+ and these patients typically have a poor response to standard therapy, short remission duration and low survival rates.5

Abstracts are currently available on the ASH website.

ASH Abstract #680: Long-Term Outcomes After Blinatumomab Treatment: Follow-up of a Phase 2 Study in Patients With Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Positive B-cell Precursor ALL

  • In this long-term follow up from the Phase 2 '203 study of 116 patients with B-precursor ALL and persistent or recurrent MRD after first-line chemotherapy, patients who achieved an MRD complete response with BLINCYTO had a longer OS, RFS and duration of remission (DOR) compared with those not achieving an MRD complete response, with a median OS in MRD-negative patients of 40.4 months. In data reported at ASH 2014, treatment with BLINCYTO resulted in complete MRD response in cycle 1 in 78 percent of patients.
  • The most clinically relevant adverse events (AEs) were neurologic events, including tremor (30 percent), aphasia (13 percent), dizziness (8 percent), ataxia and paresthesia (6 percent each), and encephalopathy (5 percent). Rates decreased over time (cycles 1, 2, 3 and 4) for any neurologic event (47 percent, 24 percent, 15 percent and 15 percent) and any grade 3 or higher neurologic event (10 percent, 4 percent, 0 percent and 0 percent).

ASH Abstract #679: Complete Molecular and Hematologic Response in Adult Patients with Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive B-Precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Following Treatment with Blinatumomab: Results from a Phase 2 Single-Arm, Multicenter Study (ALCANTARA)

  • In the Phase 2 ALCANTARA study, BLINCYTO showed antileukemic activity in very poor prognosis patients with relapsed or refractory Ph+ B-precursor ALL after failure of at least one second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy, with 36 percent of patients achieving complete remission or complete remission with partial hematological recovery (CR/CRh) during the first two treatment cycles. Of patients who achieved CR/CRh, 88 percent achieved a complete MRD response. Equivalent response rates were observed in patients with kinase-domain mutations in BCR-ABL such as T315I (four achieved CR/CRh; all four also achieved a complete MRD response).
  • Patient incidence of grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent AEs was 82 percent, most commonly febrile neutropenia (27 percent), thrombocytopenia (22 percent), anemia (16 percent), pyrexia (11 percent) and neurologic events (7 percent). There were no episodes of grade 3 or higher cytokine release syndrome.

ASH Abstract #861: Treatment with anti-CD19 BiTE® Blinatumomab in Adult Patients with Relapsed/Refractory B-precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (r/r ALL) Post-Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

  • In this analysis from the pivotal Phase 2 '211 trial, BLINCYTO induced a CR/CRh rate of 45 percent in a subset of 64 heavily pretreated patients with Ph- ALL who had relapsed or were refractory after an alloHSCT.
  • In total, 88 percent of patients had grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent AEs, with the most frequent including neutropenia (22 percent), febrile neutropenia (20 percent), anemia (17 percent) and thrombocytopenia (14 percent). Six patients reported treatment-emergent graft vs. host disease (GvHD), two of which were grade 3 or higher.

About BLINCYTO® (blinatumomab)

BLINCYTO is a bispecific CD19-directed CD3 T cell engager (BiTE®) antibody construct that binds specifically to CD19 expressed on the surface of cells of B-lineage origin and CD3 expressed on the surface of T cells. BLINCYTO was granted breakthrough therapy and priority review designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and is now approved in the U.S. for the treatment of Ph- relapsed or refractory B-cell precursor ALL. This indication is approved under accelerated approval. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification of clinical benefit in subsequent trials.

About BiTE® Technology

BiTE® antibody constructs are a type of immunotherapy being investigated for fighting cancer by helping the body's immune system to detect and target malignant cells. The modified antibodies are designed to engage two different targets simultaneously, thereby juxtaposing T cells (a type of white blood cell capable of killing other cells perceived as threats) to cancer cells. BiTE® antibody constructs help place the T cells within reach of the targeted cell, with the intent of allowing T cells to inject toxins and trigger the cancer cell to die (apoptosis). BiTE® antibody constructs are currently being investigated for their potential to treat a wide variety of cancers.

BLINCYTO® U.S. Product Safety Information
Important Safety Information Regarding BLINCYTO® (blinatumomab) U.S. Indication
This safety information is specific to the current U.S. approved indication.

  • Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), which may be life-threatening or fatal, occurred in patients receiving BLINCYTO®. Interrupt or discontinue BLINCYTO® as recommended.
  • Neurological toxicities, which may be severe, life-threatening or fatal, occurred in patients receiving BLINCYTO®. Interrupt or discontinue BLINCYTO® as recommended.

BLINCYTO® is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to blinatumomab or to any component of the product formulation.

Warnings and Precautions

Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS): Life-threatening or fatal CRS occurred in patients receiving BLINCYTO®. Infusion reactions have occurred and may be clinically indistinguishable from manifestations of CRS. Closely monitor patients for signs and symptoms of serious events such as pyrexia, headache, nausea, asthenia, hypotension, increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST), increased total bilirubin (TBILI), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), capillary leak syndrome (CLS), and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis/macrophage activation syndrome (HLH/MAS). Interrupt or discontinue BLINCYTO® as outlined in the Prescribing Information (PI).

Neurological Toxicities: Approximately 50% of patients receiving BLINCYTO® in clinical trials experienced neurological toxicities. Severe, life-threatening, or fatal neurological toxicities occurred in approximately 15% of patients, including encephalopathy, convulsions, speech disorders, disturbances in consciousness, confusion and disorientation, and coordination and balance disorders. The median time to onset of any neurological toxicity was 7 days. Monitor patients for signs or symptoms and interrupt or discontinue BLINCYTO® as outlined in the PI.

Infections: Approximately 25% of patients receiving BLINCYTO® experienced serious infections, some of which were life-threatening or fatal. Administer prophylactic antibiotics and employ surveillance testing as appropriate during treatment. Monitor patients for signs or symptoms of infection and treat appropriately, including interruption or discontinuation of BLINCYTO® as needed.

Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS): Life-threatening or fatal TLS has been observed. Preventive measures, including pretreatment nontoxic cytoreduction and on treatment hydration, should be used during BLINCYTO® treatment. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of TLS and interrupt or discontinue BLINCYTO® as needed to manage these events.

Neutropenia and Febrile Neutropenia, including life-threatening cases, have been observed. Monitor appropriate laboratory parameters during BLINCYTO® infusion and interrupt BLINCYTO® if prolonged neutropenia occurs.

Effects on Ability to Drive and Use Machines: Due to the possibility of neurological events, including seizures, patients receiving BLINCYTO® are at risk for loss of consciousness, and should be advised against driving and engaging in hazardous occupations or activities such as operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery while BLINCYTO® is being administered.

Elevated Liver Enzymes: Transient elevations in liver enzymes have been associated with BLINCYTO® treatment. The majority of these events were observed in the setting of CRS. The median time to onset was 15 days. Grade 3 or greater elevations in liver enzymes occurred in 6% of patients outside the setting of CRS and resulted in treatment discontinuation in less than 1% of patients. Monitor ALT, AST, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and TBILI prior to the start of and during BLINCYTO® treatment. BLINCYTO® treatment should be interrupted if transaminases rise to > 5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or if TBILI rises to > 3 times ULN.

Leukoencephalopathy: Although the clinical significance is unknown, cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes showing leukoencephalopathy have been observed in patients receiving BLINCYTO®, especially in patients previously treated with cranial irradiation and anti-leukemic chemotherapy. Preparation and administration errors have occurred with BLINCYTO® treatment. Follow instructions for preparation (including admixing) and administration in the PI strictly to minimize medication errors (including underdose and overdose).

Adverse Reactions

The most commonly reported adverse reactions (≥ 20%) in clinical trials were pyrexia (62%), headache (36%), peripheral edema (25%), febrile neutropenia (25%), nausea (25%), hypokalemia (23%), rash (21%), tremor (20%), diarrhea (20%) and constipation (20%).

Serious adverse reactions were reported in 65% of patients. The most common serious adverse reactions (≥ 2%) included febrile neutropenia, pyrexia, pneumonia, sepsis, neutropenia, device-related infection, tremor, encephalopathy, infection, overdose, confusion, Staphylococcal bacteremia, and headache.

U.S. Dosage and Administration Guidelines

BLINCYTO® is administered as a continuous intravenous infusion at a constant flow rate using an infusion pump which should be programmable, lockable, non-elastomeric, and have an alarm.  It is very important that the instructions for preparation (including admixing) and administration provided in the full Prescribing Information are strictly followed to minimize medication errors (including underdose and overdose).

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements that are based on the current expectations and beliefs of Amgen Inc. and its subsidiaries (Amgen or us) and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including estimates of revenues, operating margins, capital expenditures, cash, other financial metrics, expected legal, arbitration, political, regulatory or clinical results or practices, customer and prescriber patterns or practices, reimbursement activities and outcomes and other such estimates and results. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and more fully described in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports filed by Amgen Inc., including Amgen Inc.'s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. Please refer to Amgen Inc.'s most recent Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K for additional information on the uncertainties and risk factors related to our business. Unless otherwise noted, Amgen is providing this information as of Dec. 07, 2015, and expressly disclaims any duty to update information contained in this news release.

No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. Discovery or identification of new product candidates or development of new indications for existing products cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate or development of a new indication for an existing product will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, preclinical results do not guarantee safe and effective performance of product candidates in humans. The complexity of the human body cannot be perfectly, or sometimes, even adequately modeled by computer or cell culture systems or animal models. The length of time that it takes for us and our partners to complete clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval for product marketing has in the past varied and we expect similar variability in the future. We develop product candidates internally and through licensing collaborations, partnerships and joint ventures. Product candidates that are derived from relationships may be subject to disputes between the parties or may prove to be not as effective or as safe as we may have believed at the time of entering into such relationship. Also, we or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products after they are on the market. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. If we fail to meet the compliance obligations in the corporate integrity agreement between us and the U.S. government, we could become subject to significant sanctions. We depend on third parties for a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity for the supply of certain of our current and future products and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development.

In addition, sales of our products (including products of our wholly-owned subsidiaries) are affected by the reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment as well as U.S. legislation affecting pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement. Government and others' regulations and reimbursement policies may affect the development, usage and pricing of our products. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to some of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. We believe that some of our newer products, product candidates or new indications for existing products, may face competition when and as they are approved and marketed. Our products may compete against products that have lower prices, established reimbursement, superior performance, are easier to administer, or that are otherwise competitive with our products. In addition, while Amgen and its partners routinely obtain patents for their products and technology, the protection of our products offered by patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our or our partners' competitors and there can be no guarantee of our or our partners' ability to obtain or maintain patent protection for our products or product candidates. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to produce commercially successful products or maintain the commercial success of our existing products. Our stock price may be affected by actual or perceived market opportunity, competitive position, and success or failure of our products or product candidates. Further, the discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of our products that implicate an entire class of products could have a material adverse effect on sales of the affected products and on our business and results of operations. Our efforts to integrate the operations of companies we have acquired may not be successful. We may experience difficulties, delays or unexpected costs and not achieve anticipated benefits and savings from our ongoing restructuring plans. Our business performance could affect or limit the ability of our Board of Directors to declare a dividend or their ability to pay a dividend or repurchase our common stock.

The scientific information discussed in this news release relating to new indications for Amgen's products is preliminary and investigative and is not part of the labeling approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the products. The products are not approved for the investigational use(s) discussed in this news release and no conclusions can or should be drawn regarding the safety or effectiveness of the products for these uses.

Sheepshead Bay dining guide: Where to eat in the Brooklyn neighborhood

Named after the bay that separates this south Brooklyn neighborhood from the coastal communities of Coney Island and Brighton Beach, Sheepshead Bay is home to a unique mixture of ethnic enclaves you may not find anywhere else in New York. Turks, Armenians, Eastern Europeans, and Central Asians all live together here, making for a melting pot of cuisine that’s sure to satisfy every taste preference.

Of course, like any Brooklyn neighborhood, there are also plenty of Italian-American establishments, some that have served customers for over a century.

Hope on the Q train to this family-friendly community for a waterfront dining experience.

The 8 Best Ways to Dress More Stylishly in 2019

The year 2019 is flying past us right now as we’re already into May. You may have made numerous New Year’s resolutions, like how 2019 is going to be your most stylish year ever. If you’ve sleep-walked your way through the start of the year, there’s no need to panic, since there is still plenty of time to make changes in your wardrobe and make an impression on your friends, family, co-workers, and love interests.

No, there’s no magic formula to dressing stylishly but we’re all guilty of hoarding old clothes in our wardrobe that are never worn, and panic into purchasing pieces that won’t be worn more than once. When it comes to your wardrobe, it’s easy to make some questionable decisions.

The good news is that online shopping has taken the world by storm, which has allowed people to stop more conveniently. There are online shopping stores, like this website, which allow people to easily find what they’re looking for and stay fashionable without stepping outside their homes. If you want to uphold your wardrobe resolutions of 2019, we are here to help you out with the following suggestions:

1.    Don’t Buy an Item for One Occasion

Everyone is guilty of shopping for clothes for one occasion, be it a reunion with old friends, a Christmas party, or a wedding. Going to an exciting event can cloud your judgment; you feel as if you must wear something new to feel special. However, the piece you end up buying, even though it looks good on you, is only worn once and then left collecting dust in the wardrobe.

So, instead of buying something specifically for events, you should aim to find dressier pieces, which are also versatile. Buy something that is simple, yet classic, so that you can wear it repeatedly.

2.    Get Rid of Items That Don’t Fit

A lot of people tend to hold on to items that don’t fit them anymore, hoping that they’ll wear them again one day. To motivate themselves to lose weight, some people also go ahead and buy something that is one size smaller, because it’s on sale. Nothing is worse than holding on to items that don’t fit you or you can’t wear, especially if you want to get rid of clothes in your wardrobe.

3.    Don’t Buy Items Just Because They’re on Sale

It’s very easy to be attracted to a big discount and there’s nothing wrong in taking advantage of sales, especially when they’re on designer pieces. However, it’s only a wise choice if the piece is something that your wardrobe really needs. Don’t just buy something because you’re getting a great deal, because if you’re never going to wear it, you’re just wasting your money.

4.    Get Rid of Something When You Buy New Clothes

One of the best ways to keep your wardrobe manageable is to adopt the rule of one-in and one-out. This means whenever you add something new to your wardrobe, you should take one piece out and sell or donate it. This will help keep your wardrobe from overflowing, and you’ll also be confident about what you’ve just bought. You won’t buy something you’re completely in love with it if you know that you’re going to take something out from your wardrobe.

5.    Avoid Extravagant Shopping Sprees

There are times when we end up getting stuck in ruts, where we hate everything that is in our wardrobe and feel like we have nothing to wear. This is the time when the urge to go on a massive shopping spree develops and you end up spending a lot of money on trendy pieces that will just take up room in your wardrobe and won’t be worn. You shouldn’t let things get this bad, and the best way to do that is by keeping an eye out for pieces that you like and then buying the ones you like.

It’s a constant, evolving process, which will allow you to buy great looking pieces once a month, instead of going on massive shopping sprees every year. This way you’ll manage to find the right pieces for yourself and have a more stylish wardrobe as well.

6.    Discover New Brands

One of the main reasons why people end up getting stuck in style ruts is because they get too comfortable attached to some brands. They forget about all the other brands that are in the market, which is something you shouldn’t do. There are amazing, new brands that are hitting the market every year, which include everything from affordable mid-range brands to high-end designer labels. If you keep an eye out for them, you’ll manage to find stylish and special brands that will transform your wardrobe and make it more stylish.

7.    Be Tough on Making Changes

No one likes to discard their old belongings, and giving clothes away means also letting go of all the memories that were attached to them. Some people never manage to do that, which is why they end up hoarding everything they love, even if they haven’t worn those clothes for several years. If you can’t stand the thought of losing something from your wardrobe, check how many times a year you end up wearing it. If you don’t take it out to wear once, then it’s time to let go of those clothes.

8.    Be Consistent

One of the biggest mistakes you can make when it comes to being stylish is trying to buy something different than the ones you already own. That is the wrong way to go about it. This doesn’t mean you should have 10 pairs of identical black jeans or 10 blue jumpers. However, you shouldn’t be afraid to know what suits you and go with a consistent theme in your wardrobe.

Some of the most stylish people in the world have created a uniform of their own, where they keep things simple since they know what they look well in and only stick to that.

If funk is a universal language then Khruangbin are its chief translators. The three-piece band from Texas have spent the best part of the past decade joining dots around the world together in the pursuit different sounds, uniting them through their singular vision.
Mark Speer (guitar) and Donald “DJ” Johnson (drums) first met playing in the gospel band at Rudy Rasmus’s St. John’s Methodist Church in Houston. When Speer then met Laura Lee (bass) through some friends, late nights spent hanging out as a trio soon turned into the seeds of the band as it now is. As their name – which means “engine fly” in Thai – indicates, one of their earliest influences was Thai funk and psychedelic rock; an inspiration that shaped their debut album The Universe Smiles Upon You, which was adventure and motion of travel that characterises their musical universe – this year they released their second record, Con Todo El Mundo, which draws on music from Spain and Iran. It’s a motion that exists in practice as well, their music exists to be played live, something they make sure to do tirelessly around the world.
We spoke with Laura and Mark about their global influences, and the benefits of recording in a barn.

In as broad or specific terms as you like, what does the word analogue mean to you?

Mark Speer : To me, ‘analogue’ means that the machine has a chance to introduce interesting texture and variables into the work. Ones that aren’t possible to achieve in a digital context, because digital is clean.

As a band, or a friendship group, what music did you bond over?

Laura Lee : Before we were ever a band, the three of us used to meet every Tuesday at Rudyard’s pub in Houston. The music was great there; Marvin Gaye, 90s hip-hop, Arthur Verocai, it was whatever the bartenders felt like. It fueled the long, obsessive conversations about music we’re still having today.

Thai funk played a huge part in your founding phase. What makes that sound unique?

Mark Speer : Just like any other funk-influenced music from across the world, they take the American funk/boogie/disco sound and run it through their own sensibility, taste, rhythm and language.

Laura Lee : The tonal language of Thai is especially interesting to me, because that’s what makes it sound like something that doesn’t occur in Western music. That, and the little tiny bell over all Luk Thung music. I love that sound, it makes it so unique.

Mark Speer : And a bamboo mouth organ. There’s something about those instruments, when you play them against traditional Western electrical guitars, that creates something super special.

Given how varied your influences are, how important is record collecting, and sharing music with each-other, to Khruangbin?

Laura Lee : It’s incredibly important. On tour we go digging just about every other day. Records from every time and place have always been, and will continue to be, our best teachers.
In terms of sharing music, we’re just starting to figure that one out now. People were starting to ask us a lot for our source material, and where to get started finding Thai and other types of funk. So we’ve begun DJing in addition to our live shows, and we’ve also added a monthly NTS radio show to our books. We’re not those people who try to hide our references; it’s actually the opposite, we want to find as many ways as we can to get interesting music out to the world. It fuels the search.

What’s something you can’t stop listening to at the moment as a group?

Mark Speer : We’ve been super into our 45”’s lately. I bring our portable Vestax record player into our dressing room and bust those out every night.

Laura Lee : Those currently range from early ‘70s funk to Larry Levan edits to late ‘80s Whitney Houston. Makes for good post-show hangs.

How much time to you get to spend in record shops? Where are your favourites?

Laura Lee : It’s one of the best things about being on the road. Every town we stop in seems to have a gem in it. Some of our favorites have been ZudRangMa in Bangkok, Invisible City Records in Toronto, Deform Music in Istanbul. Given the space restrictions on a tour bus, we’ve been sticking exclusively to 45”’s lately, which has been a good limitation but also a challenging one. Unlike records, they’re rarely properly organized by shops, so it requires quite a bit of patience to sort through. More satisfying when you find a great one though.

You said in a recent interview that you record in a barn? Talk us through the set-up.

Laura Lee : The barn… that’s about as analogue as it gets. It’s not a ‘barn studio’ or something fancy. It is literally just a barn. Corrugated metal. Unsealed from the natural environment. And usually with a few critters who’ve dug homes in the ground. Last time there were hornets nesting in the corners.
Our engineer Steve has a portable studio, so we spend a day encouraging the animals and bugs to spend some time elsewhere whilst setting up the gear—including at least one mic that just sits out in the field amongst the cows and flowers.
The doors to the barn can be open or closed, depending on what kind of sound we’re after. And depending on the weather, there can be sounds of rain or a creaky barn that spill onto the recordings. But we always lay things down in one take, live—so what you get is what you get.

What are the benefits of making music in such a remote space?

Laura Lee : There’s the obvious stuff, like lack of wifi and other distractions. But there’s also the feeling of the place that’s hard to describe. Space for ideas to breathe. The biggest sky you’ve ever seen. It’s a little microcosm that exists outside of the rest of the world, with its own pace and time. I can’t imagine our sound coming from anywhere else but there.

Are you a band that covets gear? What are your most recording tools?

Laura Lee : We keep things pretty simple, but we’re really attached to what we’ve got. I love my bass, and the strings that haven’t changed since I bought it. Those strings are going 8 years strong. (Finding some wood to knock on now.) My Fender Bassman 10 amp and recently my Acme Motown WB-3 direct input, which was modeled after the direct box used in original Motown recordings.

Mark Speer : My guitar, and my field recorder. I have a Roland digital field recorder that I take everywhere. The ambient sounds I’ve recorded on it have ended up on all our records.

Your most recent album is influenced by pre-revolution Iran and the Middle-East more broadly. Can you speak to that influence?

Mark Speer : I think I first heard a Googoosh song somewhere, loved it, and it led me down the rabbit hole. Next thing you know, I was staying up all night, going down Youtube and Discog trails finding out who made what, who played on what, what else they did, and why everything seemed to stop in 1979.

Laura Lee : Iranian music is so romantic, but also so tragic. Heavy and emotional, but in a way that makes beauty of the pain. I find that juxtaposition really moving.
Specifically in terms of instrumentation and production, what was happening that was so different in that part of the world at that time?

Mark Speer : In a lot of ways, Iranian funk sounds like funk and soul from the Western world. At least from a production perspective. That’s what makes it easy to connect to. Funky drums. Phasey envelope filter guitars. But it’s also layered with very specific Persian scales and ornamentation that you only find in that part of the world. The end result is incredible.

What’s your writing process? How does a Khruangbin song start?

Laura Lee : A Khruangbin song starts with a drum loop. I’ve got a bank of drum loops that either DJ has recorded or that Mark’s pulled from some of my favorite songs. I pick one at random, loop it in Ableton, and record myself playing on top of it. Then I send Mark that recording, he chops up the bass lines he likes the most and records guitar on top of that. The results of those become our drafts that we then take to the barn. That’s where we figure out how they all work together and record them. Much of the time, the recordings on our album are only the second or third time we’ve played them through.

Even on record your music sounds like it’s unfolding live. How far is that true of your process?

Laura Lee : For us, an important part of the recording should be that it is unfolding live. It’s hard to capture the same spirit when you’ve played a song a million times. Bass, guitar and drums are all recording live at the same time. Then we pick our favorite take and we add percussions and vocals if needed.

While there’s that psychedelic flavour, your music also feels very human and tactile. How do you keep it sounding real?

Laura Lee : I think it’s as simple as our recording process. It’s as real as it gets—dirty barn, cows, and live instrumentation. The psychedelic part I think comes from the way we loop things and our layered vocals.

Where are you favourite places to play?

Laura Lee : That’s kind of an impossible question really, since no two places feel the same. I loved playing the Best Kept Secret Festival outside Amsterdam recently, the crowd was one of the happiest crowds I’ve ever seen. The Vega in Copenhagen, the Fillmore in San Francisco. We’re lucky we get to play in such amazing places. It was also cool playing in the forest at Lock-In Festival, and on the rocks by the ocean at Love International in Croatia. Anywhere we get to play in nature would go on my list.

How do you know when a show is going well?

Laura Lee : When the crowd is having a great time. You really can feel the mood of people from stage. When everybody’s enjoying themselves, dancing, singing along… there’s no better feeling on earth.

What’s the greatest compliment someone could pay Khruangbin?

Laura Lee : A nurse recently told me that she plays Khruangbin for her terminal cancer patients because it brings them a sense of peace. That’s the greatest honor I can imagine.

Khruangbin is formed of Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald “DJ” Johnson on drums. The globetrotting Texan trio’s sound is rooted in classic soul & RnB and informed by psychedelia, dub and music from around the world – all captured in widescreen and performed with impeccable style.
Whereas their 2015 debut album ‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ was influenced by 60s and 70s Thai cassettes and compilations of southeast Asian pop, rock and funk, 2018’s ‘Con Todo El Mundo’ hops east over India to take inspiration in similarly underdiscovered funk and soul sounds of the Middle-East, particularly from Iran. Laura Lee explains the album’s title: “My grandpa would always ask me ‘Como me quieres?’ (‘how much do you love me’?), and he’d only ever accept one response. ‘Con todo el mundo’ (With all the world).”

Final Words

The mainstream motherboard market is unbelievably competitive at this time. The breadth and quality of motherboards available in the $85~$135 price range is just remarkable. A lot of this has to do with Intel driving the P45 as the primary chipset of choice for the mainstream user, then backing it up with great processor performance and pricing to boot. AMD is finally back in the game and we will see an expanded rollout of additional performance/value based Phenom II processors shortly.

In a very crowded market space, it is critical that the manufacturers not only offer a compelling product but also back it up with top-flight customer service, technical support, and warranties. We have many compelling products available from a myriad of motherboard suppliers but what we do not have is consistent customer support.

In the effort to drive costs down and compete in an increasingly competitive market, it seems as though customer support has become a lost art. Companies like EVGA get it; they offer the best customer support and warranty in this industry. It is not always perfect, but there are actual human beings interacting with customers on a real-time basis. You might pay a little more for the product, but it is well worth it in our opinion.

We have seen improvements at ASUS, MSI, ASRock, DFI, and GIGABYTE as of late. We still think they all have a ways to go, but it is not as bad as it was a year ago. Of course, it is not as good as it should be either. We have spent the past few weeks discussing this with each company and explaining our retail experience program that is finally ready to launch. We received a mixed bag of opinions but overall the responses were positive and we truly believe each company when it says they intend to improve. We will see as time goes by.

In the meantime, we did a beta test run with the GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P. We purchased the motherboard from Newegg and tested it with the drivers and BIOS available on the website. We sent GIGABYTE's technical support group various questions over a five-week period and they came through four out of five times. This was a significant improvement over our experiences with GIGABYTE last year. We are still not thrilled with the "fill out a help ticket" and wait for an answer method of technical support. In fact, we will not be as kind in our scoring as time progresses if this does not change. Real-time chat is simple to provide if a company is willing to invest in the necessary support staff, and it can be a great help.

The website page for this board was kept up to date and driver/utility updates have been posted on a regular basis. This is a far cry from last year’s debacle with the 780G boards and we commend GIGABYTE on that improvement. We even received our rebate check within thirty days. Support in the forums is strong for this product and we see very favorable comments about it at various sites. Even if GIGABYTE trips up in technical support, we believe you can count on the user community for a solution. So enough soap box talk, what did we think about the board?

GIGABYTE has produced a stellar product when it comes to the GA-EP45-UD3P. This motherboard has a superior layout, great BIOS, incredible overclocking capabilities, high quality components, and a price that belies its feature set and performance. There are many things to like about this board but we think the layout is special. Just about every slot or connector has been perfectly placed to ensure ease of use and no compatibility problems. Even running CrossFire on the board was easy as all of the SATA ports remain accessible - granted the spacing is tight near the SATA connectors but we could still reach them with the board installed in a case.

Second up is the BIOS and overclocking capabilities of the board. The BIOS is a tweaker’s delight, yet the auto settings will allow a newbie to still extract about 90% of the board’s performance when overclocking. However, we still find ASUS' BIOS layout to be more informative and user friendly. The overclocking capabilities of the UD3P are superb and we still think there is additional potential in the board. This board is truly a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

We are excited to present our Gold Editors' Choice award to GIGABYTE for their impressive GA-EP45-UD3P. Where do we start when discussing the attributes of this motherboard? Based on the Intel P45 chipset, GIGABYTE has extracted enormous performance potential from their second-generation design featuring Ultra Durable 3 technology. Impressive overclocking abilities with both dual- and quad-core processors? Check. Excellent stability and compatibility? Check. Feature laden layout and software package? Absolutely. Top all that off with technical support that actually addressed our problems. The performance of this board was consistently at or near the top of our benchmarks and ultimately offered the best overall value we have seen in this market segment.

While performance is important, ultimately the product needs to have the right feature set, stability, compatibility, customer support, and pricing. The GA-EP45-UD3P offers all of this and more to potential buyers. The UD3P offers a flexible layout, a tweaker’s BIOS, CrossFire support, an abundance of storage options, an excellent cooling solution, top-flight electrical components, very good HD audio featuring Dolby Digital Live encoding, and an extensive accessory package along with excellent documentation for about $115 with rebate.

There is no perfect motherboard, but the GA-EP45-UD3P comes just about as close to it as possible for its intended market. At least in our initial experience, GIGABYTE has come a long way in improving their customer support, website information, technical documentation, and warranty support compared to our previous experiences. We would still like to see an improvement in this area - mainly a more interactive approach like EVGA takes in supporting their customers. However, the hardware really delivers and as such we highly recommend it.

    I'm guessing the 1250 kit you guys managed to clock at 1300 was Corsair's TWIN2X2048-10000C5DF. I have a set of those, but haven't tested with my UD3P yet; however I got my Geil DDR2-1160 C4 kit up to DDR2-1333 C5 on this board with only 2.48V using the 1333 OC profile:">
    This board is too much fun!
  • Gary Key - Wednesday, February 4, 2009 - link

    Yes, it is the Corsair kit and it was an early review sample to boot. Corsair sent us a new SPD and I managed to hit 1333 this morning at 2.50V on it, so I can report that 1333 is stable on this board now after a few runs of Crysis and PCMark Vantage. :) Reply
  • GhettoFly - Wednesday, February 11, 2009 - link

    It just seems a bit odd advertising DDR2-1366+ OC capabilities when the ICs needed for such clocks (D9GMH/GKX) are EOL :p Reply
  • x86 64 - Sunday, February 15, 2009 - link

    I'm still seeing some around and very cheap compared to what they used to be. You can pick up two 2x1GB (4GB) kits of PC2-10400 or PC2-9600 for under $275-$300 US.

    I think there are third party manufacturers who are still making the D9GMH\GKX, etc, because companies like Cellshock (now recently defunct) and Team Group (active) are still selling both of the most popular flavors of D9. Team is very big in Asia so it's not like they are some small niche company like Cellshock moving a small quantity of old stock. All of Team Group's Xtreem memory (not the "Dark" branding) is either GMH or GKX. How else to explain the constant flow of Micron D9 IC's to certain companies? Could there be that much stock still left over in Asia where they are selling them this long after they were discontinued?? I would be surprised.

  • GhettoFly - Sunday, February 15, 2009 - link

    It has to be old stock of the ICs at least; when you look at the codes on the ICs themselves (not the D9Gxx code, but like 7KD22) I'm pretty sure the first number indicates the year of manufacture, 7 being 2007, 6 being 2006, etc. I haven't see any Micron RevD chips that have those codes staring with 8 even on sticks with a 2008 production date, for example my Geil 1160 C4 and Team Xtreem 9600 kits, the ICs on both have that code starting with a 7. Reply
  • Mr Roboto - Wednesday, February 18, 2009 - link

    I don't know what the number is on the IC's themselves but you can check the manufacture date of your memory using a monitoring program like Everest.

    I have a set of Team's and using Everest they say the 14th week of 2008 as the date or manufacture.

    Whether or not the IC's were made then or the modules themselves is debatable.
  • x86 64 - Sunday, February 15, 2009 - link

    I think you might be right. I just pulled the spreaders off my Team 1200Mhz and sure enough it starts with a 7. I hope they don't run out anytime soon because it's so much fun to push this stuff :)

    It's weird, this has to be the first time in a long time that I'm happy with "last generation" hardware. I just don't see the benefit of i7 and DDR3 right now. I'm enjoying the rock solid P45, excellent inexpensive dual and quad Penryn's and dirt cheap high performance memory. I'd rather buy double the current hardware then spend the same amount for an entry level i7 system and get a 20% increase in performance. I'm sure the i7 will make a great server or HPC but I'm not impressed to much with the desktop parts. We need some multithreaded applications first. Software is seriously lagging.

    I'll wait for the die shrink and in the mean time stick with my DDR2 and D9GKX\GMH :)

    Great article Gary! I have built approximately 10 systems so far with this board or it's single PCIe X16 twin UD3R, and the "C" version with the DDR3/DDR2 slots. My experiences with each are just as pleasing as you have reported. My own system is the C version with a Q9550 slightly overclocked to 3.4GHz. I am excited to see the followup on the Ultra Durable 3 technology.

    I am equally or even more excited that you are testing the support of Gigabyte and other manufacturers. I have built over 100 systems using gigabyte P35/G35 and now P45/G45 boards in the past year and a half and I honestly nearly quit using them over some issues with the G45 board when it was first released. It wasn't even close to stable but subsequent bios'es corrected all my complaints. I could get no response from Gigabyte during that time and was pretty pist off! Interestingly enough, I just about switched all my builds to Asus, but I was reminded of past problems with them on my first P45Q build when I went to download the newest drivers! Why does a multibillion dollar company like Asus insist on having a dog-assed slow website that is so painful to negotiate? At times during the day, one can't even get a page to open without timing out! And it's been that way for years! Gigabyte! You owe Asus a "save" on that one! Kudos to Anands crew for taking up these frustrations with the mfgs! Great article!

3 steps to measuring supply chain performance

Banner: Supply Chain Paradox

It’s a typical Monday morning meeting in a company boardroom. A group of leaders from various departments gather, sipping coffee and bemoaning how fast the weekend went. They settle into the weekly cadence of departmental updates and soon it’s the supply chain leader’s turn. The supply chain is performing well. Service levels are being met, inventory is being used efficiently, demand is being met. Before the update is over, the CEO breaks in with a question: “How do you know?”

There’s a moment of silence. “I mean, how do you know it’s performing well? Weren’t we just talking about integration and visibility issues last week?”

If bells are ringing in your head, it’s not just you. We found the same situation among a group of global supply chain leaders that we recently surveyed in partnership with Supply Chain Management Review.

The supply chain performance paradox

When asked how effective their operational strategies were, 91 percent of respondents perceive their supply chain management strategies as either somewhat, very or extremely effective. When those same leaders were asked what problems they faced regarding supply chain visibility, 76 percent said that their systems aren’t integrated well and 46 percent said that they often lose visibility when items are handed over to partners. Even though most supply chain leaders perceived their performance as decent, what they complained about doesn’t seem to match up with that perception.

The paradox deepened when we asked what obstacles stood between supply chain leaders and accomplishing their goals. 51 percent said a lack of visibility was an issue, and 49 percent said a lack of access to accurate, time-sensitive information got in the way.

“What obstacles do you face to achieving your supply chain goals?”

Graph: Performance perception paradox

Think about it. If supply chain leaders struggle with visibility and getting the right data, how are they forming an accurate view of supply chain performance?

Even if they answered “somewhat effective” about their supply chain management strategies, they must have some reason for their opinions. Using their own answers, it looks like their positive spin is based on a false perception. And we all want to think that what we’re responsible for is performing well, so perhaps that also contributes to this clouded view.

The last thing a supply chain leader wants is bad information, especially if it could have a ripple effect through the business. In his book “Shoe Dog,” Phil Knight said, “Supply and demand is always the root problem in business.” Whether you’re importing shoes from Japan or making sure a kindergartener in San Francisco gets his backpack on time for his first day of school, when the supply chain succeeds, the business succeeds. So how do you avoid falling prey to the paradox?

Think about supply chain collaboration and communication

Of the leaders we surveyed, 63 percent said that they communicated with customers and suppliers via methods like email, phone, and fax. About 54 percent said that spreadsheets were part of their communication, and we all know how much fun it is to email a spreadsheet back and forth. (“Is this Version 7 or 7A?”) If your communication methods are lagging, gaining an accurate view of supply chain performance will be a struggle. When supply chain leaders communicate and collaborate with modern, cloud-based technology, there’s less confusion over data accuracy and project prioritization, and supply chain teams can focus on the company’s larger goals rather than spending their energy working through frustrating system issues.

Think about supply chain system integration

Of the leaders we talked to, 64 percent described their systems as fragmented, with little or no integration, or a mix of connected and disconnected. It’s a challenge to make all your systems play along nicely, as they often grow in a disorganized way, layering over one another.

Perhaps new leaders brought in systems they knew, or mergers or acquisitions force leaders to integrate a less-than-ideal new system. When you have clarity around how each system works and communicates with each other and what their goals are, your organization can move closer to true visibility, and with it, an accurate view of supply chain performance.

Think about supply chain visibility

End-to-end visibility is a supply chain phrase that many like to throw around, but only 6% of companies believe they’ve actually achieved. Our survey found that supply chain leaders want to improve visibility across supply chain processes and put an end to unpleasant surprises and fire drills.

If you want to gain an accurate view of supply chain performance so you can make changes that’ll send positive ripple effects across the business, invest your resources into a cloud-based supply chain planning platform to move toward provides true end-to-end visibility. This type of collaborative platform, when used by the leaders involved in the supply chain from start to finish, provides a look into all relevant parts of the supply chain management process.

Finding true confidence in supply chain performance

Don’t lose sight of true supply chain performance because of this perception paradox. With the right cloud-based platform in place, leaders can focus on collaboration, integration, and visibility, and the next time the supply chain leader is asked “how do you know?” in that mahogany-paneled boardroom, they can answer with confidence.

For a deeper dive into the data, take a look at our research report with Supply Chain Management Review, “How connecting the supply chain improves business performance.”

Allen, Ira (01 May 1751–15 January 1814), frontier entrepreneur and Vermont political leader, was born in Cornwall, Connecticut, the son of Joseph Allen and Mary Baker, farmers. Little is known of his youth, but in 1770 he followed his five elder brothers north to the New Hampshire Grants region and joined the Yankee versus Yorker struggle, which stemmed from the 1764 Crown decree that New York rather than New Hampshire owned the area that would become Vermont.

Developers Get Their Hands On Nexus S Kernel

That's right, Google has released the kernel from the new Nexus S with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread).  This means that the genius Android developers out there can start writing and compiling various goodies.  I can't even imagine all the awesome things that will come out of this.  If you are a developer and would like to play, check out Android open source project.

Since the Nexus S is a Samsung phone perhaps we will see some Galaxy S stuff hitting the wire soon.

Anorak is a British brand of high quality, design-led homeware and functional outdoor lifestyle accessories, all geared around the modern family...

Inspired in 1979, incorporated in 2009. Childhood memories of camping trips are where it all started for Anorak's founder and creative director Laurie Robertson. Equipped with little more than a map, a campfire and a packet of marshmallows, these simple family holidays gave Laurie a love of simple pleasures, family time and a keen eye for the beauty in nature. These values, which provided the inspiration for Anorak when it launched in 2009, are absolutely integral to the Anorak brand today.

The great outdoors has some even greater inspiration for print. And core to Anorak’s product mix are its family of Kissing Animals designs. From Hedgehogs to Horses, Badgers to Border Collies, Anorak’s simple yet sophisticated designs are a celebration of wildlife from Britain and beyond. Anorak is not about fast-fashion (some of its first prints remain classics today) and just like the noble creatures which inspire them, the Kissing Animals are timeless and iconic symbols of the great outdoors.

From kids through to grandparents, Anorak caters for young and old alike with a collection designed to help you make the most of precious times with family and friends. For camping, Anorak has the sleeping bags. For picnics, Anorak has the picnic blankets. For holidays, Anorak has the holdalls. For messing about in the mud, Anorak has the towels to clean up before bed time. And there’s even bedding for when it’s time to nod off.

Anorak’s partners Laurie and Matt live in a leafy suburb of South London along with two small children. They run Anorak from a converted stable in East Dulwich with a hardworking team of staff. For Anorak, family-owned means a firm focus. On the important bits like quality of design, quality of product and quality of customer service.

Size variation and egg laying performance in Plebeia remota queens (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini)

Márcia de Fátima Ribeiroa, b, Pérsio de Souza Santos-Filhoa and Vera Lúcia Imperatriz-Fonsecaa

b  Present address: Depto. de Zootecnia, Universidade Federal do Ceará - UFC, Bloco 809 Campus do PICI, 60021-970 Fortaleza, CE, Brazil

(Received 2 September 2005 - Revised 2 January 2006 - Accepted 9 January 2006 - published online 29 November 2006)

Abstract - Stingless bees may produce both large queens and "miniature" queens, but the adaptive significance of this is uncertain. Using biometry and statistical analysis we determined the proportion of miniature queens in Plebeia remota that were either mated (14%) or virgin (45%). Mated queens were mostly normal-sized which indicated that they were more successful. Nevertheless, the presence of miniature mated queens heading colonies confirmed that they also are viable. The egg-laying capacity of mated queens of different sizes was determined using colony exchange experiments. The results showed that egg laying is not influenced by size differences. Therefore, miniature mated queens may be as successful in laying eggs as normal-sized queens. Finally we discuss some ultimate hypotheses for why miniature queens are produced.

Key words: queen size variation / miniature queen / egg laying / stingless bee / Plebeia remota

Wine EnthusiastThe raspberry aroma after the pour is true-to-the-source, ripe and fresh; following aeration the aroma turns more preserves-like than fresh-picked fruit-like. Palate entry is sweet, yet tart and pleasantly fruity; by midpalate the flavor profile turns savory, fruity and decidedly sweet/tart. Concludes elegantly and ripe. Another how-to lesson on rum flavoring by the wizards at Cruzan. Best Buy.
