R.I.P., Songwriter Hank Cochran | A man who penned many country hits passed away last night in Henderson, Tennessee, just outside of Nashville. Hank Cochran was 74 years old. He'd been battling pancreatic cancer and heart trouble for several years. Cochran wrote "I Fall to Pieces," which Patsy Cline immortalized. In fairness, I think that song did plenty to immortalize Cline! His hit parade also includes "He's Got You," "I Want to Go With You," and "Set 'em Up, Joe." In the Associated Press obituary, which just crossed the transom, there is a truly wonderful image: According to his publicist, "Cochran's close friends Billy Ray Cyrus, Jamey Johnson and Buddy Cannon visited him Wednesday night and they sang songs together." | npr |

A LabVIEW based data acquisition system for processing and analysis of an inductive sensor signal | LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) is gaining popularity as a graphical programming language, especially for data acquisition and measurement. This is due to the vast array of data acquisition cards and measurement systems which can be supported by LabVIEW as well as the relative ease with which advanced software can be programmed. One area of application of LabVIEW is the measuring, analysis and display of vibration signals. The analysis and processing of the signal are of concern for amplification, filtering and display. This paper describes an induction coil sensor using LabVIEW based data acquisition and analysis developed specifically for sensor signal monitoring and used with card electronic of conditioning.

Improving voice activity detection in movies. | Voice Activity Detection in movies is a non-trivial and challenging task. The different emotional states of the speakers, as well as the variety of soundscapes and noises contribute to the complexity of the task. In this paper, we propose a set of lightweight features that are specifically designed to perform under such conditions, while at the same time preventing confusions of singing voice with speech. For evaluation, we use four fulllength movies, previously unseen to the system and painstakingly annotated. We compare our detector to a state-of-the-art reference system. The new approach performs better, yielding just about half the Equal Error Rate (EER). Furthermore, since the ground truth annotation task is extremely tedious, and to help with advancing in this topic, we release the annotations of all four movies to the research community.

Rebecca Blake was thrown in jail in the Arab state .
30-year-old sentenced to 41 days in prison for having sex outside marriage .
Ended up serving 95 days because 'they forgot' about her . | By . Emma Thomas . A woman has told of her ordeal in a Dubai prison after being imprisoned for having sex outside marriage. Rebecca Blake, from Surrey, was jailed for a crime she did not commit and ended up serving 95 days in a 'filthy' cell. Speaking to the Sunday Express, the 30-year-old said she was forced to lie about being married or she would face a more severe punishment for adultery and could have been stoned to death. Scroll down for video . Rebecca Blake outside the Dubai Court . Embarrassing: Rebecca Blake has said how difficult it was to tell her parents of the charges . The recruitment consultant was accused of having sex in the back of a taxi with her friend Conor McRedmond 28, from Tullamore, Co. Offaly and they spent a year fighting the allegations. Ms . Blake said her lawyer told her to keep the fact she was already . technically married, from six years ago, a secret as if the authorities . knew she was married she could be charged with the more serious crime of . adultery. Now back in . Britain, Ms Blake said: 'It feels like a surreal nightmare. I still . wake up in the night panicking, thinking I'm back in that cell.' Blake and McRedmond were arrested on May 4 last year after meeting at a brunch then going on a drinking binge - getting a taxi together at 10pm. Taxi driver Qaiser Khan, . 30, claimed within minutes of getting in, Blake had taken her top off . and was writhing on top of McRedmond while ‘making the sounds of a woman . having sex’. He told prosecutors earlier this year: . ‘They kept having sex for four minutes. The man’s shirt was open, his . trousers were down to his knees and the woman was not wearing any . underwear.’ The taxi driver alleged Blake offered . him ‘a lot of money’ to tell prosecutors they had been kissing rather . than having sex, but he refused. They said the allegations had been made up after they rowed with the taxi . driver about taking a longer route home. Their lawyer Shaker . al Shammary yesterday said the statements of the two witnesses were . inconsistent, adding: ‘They threatened to complain about the taxi driver . and he beat them to it – yet there is no mention of their dispute in . the Supreme Court judgment. ‘The medical records show what the witnesses said was not true but this was not taken into account in the ruling.’ Rebecca Blake (left) and Conor McRedmond (centre) walk with their lawyer Shaker al-Shammary outside the Dubai Court . Blake was . sacked from her £100,000-a-year job as a recruitment consultant for . Manpower in Dubai following the scandal . McRedmond had said earlier this year: ‘We find ourselves in . exactly the same position we were in after the original verdict but . thousands of pounds poorer. ‘Any . court in the world would accept the medical evidence above all else. I . love Dubai and wanted to carry on living here but I am left without a . choice.’ There were . fears their failure to clear their names was part of a crackdown from . Dubai authorities on expats flouting their strict rules. Vince . Acors and Michelle Palmer, a British couple caught having sex on a . beach, were treated more leniently in 2008 when they were convicted on . the same charge of indecency and ordered to serve three months in . prison, but received a suspended sentence on appeal. | cnn |

Abstract A homogeneous sample of normal adults living in a religious order participated in a study of age effects on reference as a cohesive device in discourse production and comprehension. Narrative and procedural discourse were examined across various levels of complexity and stimulus/response requirements. Results indicate that significant ambiguity of reference emerges in the younger elderly group (age 64–76) in comparison to the middle-aged group (age 27 to 55), and increases markedly in the older elderly group (age 77–92). Related impairments of comprehension and cognition were also observed. These findings are interpreted to be general features of linguistic variation with advancing age. Communicative consequences of ambiguous reference are discussed. | During natural ageing, hormonal, psychological, and cognitive changes affect speech production and speech perception. The aim of this study is to investigate the differences in the performance of young-old (60- to 74-year-old) versus old-old (75- to 90-year-old) speakers in oral summaries of stories to which they listened previously and how those results relate to the speech of young adult speakers. For the present study, we have selected narrative recalls performed by fifteen subjects of each age group from BEA (The Hungarian Spontaneous Speech Database). We analysed the contents of those samples, pauses, disfluencies, and speech errors. We found important differences in the oral summaries between young-old and old-old speakers. Considerable individual differences were also attested within each age group (in disfluencies, pauses, etc.). The results suggest a certain degree of dissimilarity in the recalls across age groups, concerning peculiarities of language use along with the expected phonetic and psycholinguistic features. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

It's good the Las Vegas shooter wasn't Muslim | A body is covered with a sheet in the intersection of Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard South after a mass shooting at a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. October 1, 2017. Source: Reuters/Las Vegas Sun/Steve Marcus
25 Social Buzz
AS America woke to the news of yet another mass shooting on Monday morning, the usual feelings of sadness, despair and powerlessness bubbled up to the surface once again. As an initial reaction, that’s fairly standard.
But what swiftly followed, perhaps was not. As news began to emerge of gun fire at the Las Vegas music festival, both myself and my colleague, turned to each other and in unison said, “I hope he’s not Muslim.”
This reaction may seem odd to some, but it really shouldn’t.
As common place as mass shootings in America have become, so too is the Muslim bashing and drastic policy measures that inevitably follow should a brown man with a beard commit the exact same act.
SEE ALSO: World leaders react to Las Vegas mass shooting
Both myself and my colleague, a Muslim man, are all too aware of the sad truth that the actions of one crazy man – who happens to be Muslim – has exponential repercussions that reach far beyond himself and his family.
The brutal actions of one white man will be treated as just that, the actions of one man. There will be the inevitable discussion about his mental health, there will be the predictable arguments between Democrats and Republicans about gun control in the States, the country will come together to mourn. And that will pretty much be the end of it.
If, however, it proves to be a Muslim man that carries out these appalling acts, it’s a very different story. One man’s actions then become the responsibility of the whole community. And not only the American Muslim community, but the global Muslim community pays a price.
Trump’s travel ban, put in place to supposedly protect the country against acts of terror much like those seen on Sunday night, would be extended. The borders would be closed to refugees. The news networks would be endlessly debating the rise of radical Islam and the community’s inability, or reluctance, to report one of their own.
And the Islamophobia that’s become so pervasive among much of Western society would be bolstered.
SEE ALSO: Trump travel ban raises concerns among Haj pilgrims
It wouldn’t matter if the perpetrator was American, born and raised, the outcome would be the same. A nation would look, and all they would see would be Islam. It wouldn’t matter if his motives were unknown – as is the case with the Las Vegas shooter – he would still not be seen as a “lone wolf,” but as a symptom of a larger problem among his demographic.
No one has questioned why Stephen Paddock’s family didn’t report him to authorities before the attack, no one has demanded an apology from the wider white male group, and most certainly no one will be calling for tighter restrictions on white males entering the country. When white males are the deadliest threat in America, far surpassing deaths from Islamic terrorism, you have to question the inconsistency in the response.
White men will not be asked to explain Paddock’s actions, and nor should they. We should afford the same courtesy to out Muslim friends.

Could the Harry Flashman character be successfully translated to film? | For those of you that haven't read the excellent Flashman Papers, here's a summary of the character. Basically he's the ultimate anti-hero: a coward, a liar, a murder and a rapist who somehow manages to come out of every situation smelling of roses, while the nice guys usually finish last, or dead.
A film adaptation]( of the [book Royal Flash was once made, although they turned the character into more of a bumbling buffoon in order to make him more likeable.
I would love to see these novels, in their true spirit, captured on film. Preferable as a mini-series rather than as movies, but I can picture either.
My question is: do you think it's possible to do this, and if so how do you think it should be approached? Many people say it isn't possible to make a film that would be considered acceptable and with a relateable enough main character, but I think likeable scoundrels have been achieved in the past and there's no reason it couldn't be done here. | reddit_title_body |

RNA-Seq data: a goldmine for organelle research. | GenBank is bursting with eukaryotic RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) results. These data are transforming our view of nuclear transcriptional architecture, but many scientists are ignoring a major component of the data: mitochondrial- and chloroplast-derived sequences. Indeed, organelle transcripts typically represent a significant proportion of the reads generated from eukaryotic RNA-Seq experiments. Here, I argue that these data are an excellent and untapped resource for investigating many aspects of organelle function and evolution. | s2orc_title_abstract |
Talislanta: the Savage Land | A short while back SMS, owner and creator of Talislanta, posted over on Facebook about the possibility of new, official, licensed Talislanta material.
> Okay, new subject: possible new Talislanta product(s). I've had a couple of discussions with Jerry about possibly running a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for Khepera to publish one or more new Tal products. Nothing serious yet - we're just talking about some ideas. Some of the possibilities we've discussed include: a full-color Tal edition, set in the New Age as per previous editions; or, a new full-color sourcebook covering an earlier era of Tal history, tentatively titled Talislanta: The Savage Land, which would be set in the dark chaotic age that followed the Great Disaster (all knowledge of spell casting lost, no cities or nations, just warring tribes); and/or a Talislanta graphic novel or series of graphic novels (either illustrated versions of some of the Tales of Talislanta, the illustrated Travels of Tamerlin, or something new). Jerry ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for Atlantis, and he told me that he believes a Tal Kickstarter campaign would be even more successful. So, my questions to all of you here on the list: would you take part in a Tal Kickstarter campaign, and if so, which new Tal product(s) would you like to see Khepera publish? All comments and suggestions welcome, pro or con.
Were his words. Since then, it has been cemented that there ***will*** be a new Talislanta book, currently and tentatively titled **"The Savage Land"**.
After settling on what the product will be, SMS and the T: SL creative team have since been getting input from the fans about things that may or may not appear in the final book. These fan-submissions are typically short ideas, not fleshed out (by design), that will be given to the writing team along with their assignments to craft a bit of savage pre-history for Talislanta.
When the book is done, there will be a Kickstarter to get it published. The intent right now is to provide a simple introductory path into Talislanta. The old works will still be available for free on Tal.com. | reddit_title_body |

A miniature LCP-based quadrature hybrid coupler for GPS system on package (SoP) | In this paper, a quadrature hybrid coupler is presented for a GPS system on packages (SoP). The coupler is based on lumped components and is designed for multi-layer LCP (M-LCP) for the first time. A novel topology that uses fewer components and utilizes mutual coupling is introduced. As a result of this new topology the coupler dimensions are (3.6 × 4.9 × 0.13)mm3 making it the smallest reported for the GPS band. The design is approximately 98 % smaller than distributed element couplers as well as being considerably thinner than reported multi-layer designs. The coupler demonstrates an insertion loss of 0.6 dB and more than 20 dB isolation at the operating frequency. | s2orc_title_abstract |
