New HH-60W combat rescue helicopter enters anechoic chamber for defense systems testing at J-PRIMES facility Eglin AFB
8 January 2020 1 min read
The US Air Force’s newest combat rescue helicopter hung suspended in a soundproof anechoic chamber for defense system testing here last month. The 413th Flight Test Squadron’s HH-60W Combat Rescue Helicopter went at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, into the Joint Preflight Integration of Munitions and Electronic Systems facility in mid-November for approximately seven weeks of defensive systems testing. Those systems are a significant upgrade from the legacy HH-60G currently flown by Air Combat Command.
The J-PRIMES facility has the unique capability to capture high quality data on those defensive systems by isolating the electromagnetic radiation inside the facility’s anechoic chamber. The chamber is a room designed to stop reflections of either sound or electromagnetic waves and insulated from exterior sources of noise.
Testing the HH-60W in J-PRIMES will characterize the performance of the helicopter’s systems prior to electronic warfare flight-testing. The tests ensure it is capable of defeating hostile threats while performing its designated combat search and rescue mission. The new helicopter HH-60W arrived to the 96th Test Wing in early November. The US Air Force is contracted to purchase 113 HH-60W helicopters to replace its aging fleet of HH-60G helicopters.
The J-PRIMES facility hosts similar test missions like this throughout the year. The facility provides an environment to facilitate testing air-to-air and air-to-surface munitions and electronics systems on full-scale aircraft and land vehicles prior to open air testing.
The J-PRIMES test data will be used to support specification compliance and check for defensive system discrepancies or concerns. This is an early, but critical step in the developmental process of the new HH-60. After J-PRIMES testing, this particular aircraft will begin flight test for its defensive systems.
“Developmental test has begun in earnest,” said Joe Whiteaker, the squadron’s combat rescue helicopter flight commander. “Every new event brings us closer to getting this aircraft to the warfighter, which is what we are really focused on.”

That said, the Japanese imports really aren't all that expensive, especially compared to normal Japanese CD prices. When you split out the price by the number of CDs, you're paying ~$13 per CD--and you get a booklet and neat artbox with it. I'm not sure how much cheaper Right Stuf would be able to make it, plus they would have to negotiate yet another license agreement, since the music is copyrighted by JA Seazer, etc.
This. I imported the CD set from Japan as well, and it is completely worth it, and I had the 4 American CDs already as well. I don't see how an American release could be any cheaper, really. $130 for a 10CD set is a great deal any way you slice it. That's how much I paid at YesAsia when it was released in 2008.
If you really enjoy the music from the series, importing the music box set is really a no-brainer if you have the funds. Ordering from Japan isn't as scary as it sounds.
Sorry for the double post, and not to sound too forward, but...
Shouldn't this of all threads be stickied, along with a forum announcement in "Gougai! Gougai!" shouting from the rooftops that Utena has been relicensed? I'm sure that there are still plenty of IRGers not even aware of this news, since not everyone checks other places which would have reported on it.
I mean, it is kind of important news in SKU-land, isn't it?

I can only hope this version will be more properly done, the DVDs I got of the Utena series had errors in some of the menus and the discs themselves had errors occur most notably during Episode 39.
I should have read more carefully before but does this mean that they will redub it?

I'll eventually stick the thread, yah, but I was going to wait until they had a more official launch page before announces. Preorder information and such. I'm actually waiting for the email sent to come back.
Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

Disk 5 of the set that I have has errors that lead to me feeling very displaced during the leadup to the final arc. :S Basically if I try to choose an episode from the menu list, the episode that plays is not the one listed. Basically on my first time through the series I ended up watching 31, "Her Tragedy" instead of 27 "Nanami's Egg" thanks to mislabeled episodes. Let me just say that watching "Nanami's Egg" after that lost a lot of the possible charm. I basically have a notepad sheet that is all the episodes on that disk and the order of the links I have to click to watch it in order. Yet another reason I can't wait for this boxset.
To my knowledge they're just using the CPM dub instead of redubbing it.

None of my American DVDs do these things.
That's kinda weird.
Of course, I'm fairly certain that this will be ALOT cheaper than the original CPM ones. I got them all like, the day they came out at full price. Like, $30-$50 each.
This is going to be like.. the fifth time over I get the series.
Also, I WANT BLURAY GOD DAMMIT.
I would really adore a re-dub, if only so that we could get some different VA's for the secondary characters instead of re-using the main characters voices. I wouldn't at all mind Freeman, Rachel Lillis, Dan Green and others coming back to reprise their roles, but I would love to see some newer, younger vocal talent for Saionji, Ruka, Kozue, Juri and especially Miki and Tsuwabuki and someone with some actual talent for Anthy and Akio. Don't get me wrong, Jack Taylor is an awesome, crazy-unique VA, but he just plain does not sound like a teenager, or even a 20-something. It would be awesome to have the original Japaneese, original English dub and a new English dub to select from.
I second that.
But for the love of christ, get someone else for Ruka. Oh god that was BAD.
And no more ten-jew.

There definitely will not be a redub, unfortunately. Nozomi hasn't done a new dub on anything for years, in large part because they release niche titles, and the cost of dubbing is ridiculously high. As much as we love SKU and will all buy it, it's not exactly going to be a hot seller. They wouldn't recoup their losses if they took the time to redub it. But I think we can expect a high-quality release in every other aspect.
Oh, god, yes.
Also, Wah-kuhbuh.
ILY. More and more reason I'm glad I've only sparingly heard the dub (switched over to it for two seconds just to hear Utena's english voice). I had to for the movie though thanks to wonky subtitles during the duels and the whole Utena!Car scene, then would switch back to the Japanese track when the subtitles came back. I'm not a fan of dub Juri >:C
I've never heard dub Akio, but I can already say no one could equal Japanese Akio at all, same with Japanese Anthy. I get tempted to watch the dub of Wakaba's duel episode just to see how it sounds in English, but her japanese actress just pulls off that scene so *perfectly* that I don't think the dub could ever top that. (Is it obvious yet that this really is one of my favorite episodes of the whole series? )

It's a shame they cannot redo the dub but at least we can hear it in Japanese, the subtitles needs to be improved and made easier to read no matter what the background the subtitles are displaying.
Nozomi has become quite adept at providing easy to read subtitles, so this should not be an issue. They also know that we all ("we" being anime fans in general) loathe hardsubs and overlays, so those are things that they never do.
Oh, and as far as extras? Check this out. We have nothing to fear. This release is going to be amazing. Trust Nozomi on this one.
YAAAY!
kk, thread sticked guys! The announcement isn't permanent, I'll put it up in a rotation every other week or so, since we will use the announcements for other things from time to time. I took down some of the older sticks that aren't really moving anymore...although I'm really sad to see the novels not getting translated.
I'm seeing a lot of new forum registrations lately, I hope it's people from cons hearing about the SKU rerelease and coming over, and not more spammers.
I finally noticed this thread -- behind the curve as usual If Nozomi is RightStuf, I trust them. As others have said, they brought over Boogiepop Phantom, which is one of the best ports I've seen (and also my first anime ever, and still one of my most loved). I look forward to finally getting to pop the remastered Utena into my computer, as well as -- perhaps -- seeing a groundswell for IRG! Fingers crossed, but I'm going to bed happy tonight
For the curious, who may be wondering what kinds of series Nozomi licenses and who their customer base is, here's a nearly complete list of the series which they have licensed over the years:
Boys Be...
Comic Party
Dirty Pair TV
El Hazard
Gakuen Alice
His and Her Circumstances (Kare Kano)
Maria Watches Over Us (Marimite)
Ninja Nonsense
Rental Magica
Starship Girl Yamamoto Yohko OVAs
Super Gals
The Third: The Girl With The Blue Eye
Toward The Terra
Irresponsible Captain Tylor
...and of course at AX they just announced their acquisitions of Utena and Sora no Woto.
(No, I don't work for Nozomi, but after having added six of their shows to my collection over the years, they consistently set the high bar of what to expect from a good anime release, and I've always been very happy with their output, especially in today's environment where the anime bubble of the mid 2000s has burst, and releases like Bandai/Kadokawa's of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya are mostly a thing of the past.)

Especially since I managed to get tricked by an ebay seller for my version of the series - FREAKING CHINESE BOOTLEGS.
Check out my: Twitter|Voice Over Tumblr|
I've owned my beloved Boogiepop since I think it was 2001 and I never actually noticed that it was Nozomi that released it. That's the only thing I own by them but the boxset is very nicely put together and the extra content on it (commentary, some neat little art videos put together that feature music from the series, and trailers for the other discs in the set) are a treat. They also included a nice little extra disc that contains two versions of Wagner's "Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg" that is worked into the series (and because I'm a dork, the version Boogiepop Phantom whistles throughout the series is actually my ringtone).
The point of my little ramble is just input to the fact that I am satisfied with the one piece of Nozomi release I do own.

I have thought that the Boogiepop-whistled Meistersinger (which, by complete coincidence, was on NPR when my clock radio woke me up today) would be a fantastic ringtone since eight years ago, when I first watched the series. Do share.
I most certainly will once I get home from work (probably in an hour or so, I'll edit this post once I get it uploaded)!
Is your phone capable of using MP3s as ringtones, dear? That's the format I have so I'll just upload mine when I get in if yours can.
ETA: Here is the download, enjoy:

You can enjoy the same situation whenever my phone rings around other people: "WHO IS WHISTLING?!" "Oh that's just my phone..."
Since I know a bunch of you are BP and SKU fans I have to state this regarding the dub: I fucking love Nagi so very much and feel that Rachael did an amazing job as her, so when I was looking over the SKU dub cast I was mighty excited to find out that she voiced Utena as well. Crispin is kind of a given for excitement cause he does an amazing job in whatever he does, I believe there's someone else that the BP and SKU characters share, but I can't remember it off the top of my head. Basically Rachael and Crispin's involvement is the only reason I'd ponder the SKU dub, but it does make me happy in the very least that two of my favorite animes share a few similar cast members, even if I never watch the SKU dub.
I'm rambling, just really happy that I have SKU and BP fans in the same place.
Thank you!! I thought that maybe we should infiltrate a convention of whatever forum is to Boogiepop what IRG is to SKU, secretly set everyone's cell phones to this ringtone, and then call them all simultaneously.
I watched Boogiepop dubbed immediately after I watched it in Japanese, and before I had seen any other dubbed anime. My reaction was, "well, admittedly this isn't quite as good as the Japanese version, but I don't see why everyone is always complaining about dubs." It took Excel Saga to make me understand the latter.
The SKU dub is not awful, but... I don't know. I kind of got the feeling that the voice actors didn't understand what kind of a series they were starring in. Like, they weren't sure whether this show was more like Excel Saga or more like Boogiepop. (And who can blame them? It has some of both.) Fortunately, I can just exercise my right not to watch the dubs!

OH DEAR JESUS GOD YES. I was hoping for a redub, but yeah, not likely. It would HAVE to be better than the CPM dub(which is not entirely CPM's fault, since no one really knew what the hell they were doing with dubbing in the nineties). And I'd hope we'd have enough of a CRAZY FANBASE that releasing a bunch of stuff would be more worth it. I mean, I kind of doubt there are fans of, say, Tenchi Muyo that are this obsessed and willing to shell out money for it ten years later(and willing to plan a small 'con to meet other crazy fans on the internets, no less). We're niche, but Utena is special enough to largely be considered a classic of anime on par with Evangelion. I WILL BUY ANYTHING RELEASED DAMMIT. I'm normally NEVER the person to do something like that, but this is a special anime.
The company does seem smart enough to not do dumb crap like hard subs, so that's not even worth mentioning. Of course, I'd also like clean openings and endings, generally anything to make AMVs better. Not having that just motivates people to pirate what they can't get from the DVD, even if they do want to support the series.
And every damn interview with Ikuhara available. ESPECIALLY the one done with Ikuhara and Saito watching the last episode on CPM's last DVD. That was the only really cool extra CPM had. They also did snippets of an Ikuhara interview at a since long failed anime convention they supported, but the parts were chopped up so small that it was mostly kind of useless. I'm also hoping for some music CDs, but that's gonna come down to whether they think it'd be worth getting the rights. Honestly, the best extras and the most likely to happen will come down to setting up something with Ikuhara. I'd love to see what he thinks about it in retrospect ten years later, but knowing him, we might not even find that out. Inscrutable bastard.
I wish--and this is a total fantasy that's not going to happen--they had clips of English actor screw ups for a gag reel. They're rare for dubs in general, and CPM probably didn't keep them in the first place, but I'm just dreaming here. Because everything I've heard of Crispin Freeman when he's screwing around behind the mike...he gets CRAZY dirty. I can just imagine the downright foul things he's said using Touga as a puppet. Infact, I'd actually like an interview with Crispin Freeman(they may have originally been in the CPM dub, but I think I was so disgusted by Jimmy Zoppi and crap that I only watched a couple; even so, I doubt the questions they asked him were very good anyway). The man actually knows what he's doing and thinks about the series he's working on. Yeah, I'm sort of a Freeman fangirl, but the man truly deserves it. I would actually like to hear his interpretation of Touga and the series in general. Not that big into the Japanese VAs because, while they did have more direction from the source, the general idea of voicing anime over there is defined by the TYPE that a character is and what little box can we put the character in. I think seiyuu are often overrated. They don't necessarily have any concept of story or...anything beyond what they do(as evidence, Weiss Kruez was written by prominent seiyuu, and is the most so-bad-its-good-no-wait-maybe-just-bad anime ever).
The interviews with the English cast in general were only good for explaining why certain aspects of the dub were not so great. Like the fact that they had no clue who Akio really was when they cast him to be a shadowy figure and had to call the guy back a few years later and be like "Hey, remember that shadow you voiced? Yeah, he's a Machiavellian playboy. Good luck with that." Lots of the problems with the acting pretty much drew out of no one actually seeing most of the series or knowing what happened until they got their hands on it. I don't think they realized that Anthy, you know, had to have a decent RANGE of emotions for later--they just cared that she sounded right and didn't check that she could emote that well because she didn't seem to need it as much in the first arc. And, you know, no one generally paying attention to pronunciation and stuff all that much in the industry in general. I remember talking with a CPM employee when they were working on the dubbing of the Black Rose Saga, and they were actually putting a lot of work into getting people to say MikaGEY and not MikaJAY--which was apparently a big issue they were having. Too little, too late unfortunately.

DARLING – The Fantastic Fest Reviews Are In
Fantastic Fest just wrapped up, and the reviews have been pouring in for the Mickey Keating-directed GEP Psychothriller DARLING. Starring Lauren Ashley Carter and featuring Fessenden (who also starred in the Fantastic Fest flicks THE MIND’S EYE and SOUTHBOUND), the movie centers on Carter as a young woman tasked with looking after a mysterious old home.
Here’s what the reviews are saying:
A shocking, hallucinatory and masterful film, DARLING doesn’t just happen in front of you, it pulls you into the story of a woman who takes on the job of looking after a mansion-like home that may or may not be haunted, and throws you into her complete descent into absolute madness.
Jerry Smith, Icons of Fright
Shot entirely in black and white, the film is simply gorgeous to look at. The empty streets of New York City and lonely hallways of the house look even more desolate without color. It was a bold decision, but it pays off in spades.
Trace Thurman, Bloody-Disgusting
On only his third film, Keating has already established an instantly recognizable style. Call them Keating Beats: Whether it’s strobe-speed edit, a sound mix that will deliberately challenge the listener, or simply the decision to shoot in stark black and white, they constantly throw the audience off guard.
Richard Whittaker, The Austin Chronicle
Also, it is not often that the sound design of a film stands out from all of the other elements, but in this film the complexity of the sound design sets itself apart from other films. The balance between what is real and what is not real, a strong score and jarring metal song to shake loose the audience expectations, is not an easy one. The sound in Darling totally nails the many levels or reality in DARLING.
Deidre Crimmins, All Things Horror
Carter puts in a devestatingly memorable performance, but the real star of the film is Mickey Keating’s stark, stylish direction.
Daniel Lackey, The Nightmare Gallery
To round out the festivities, Writer/Director Mickey Keating boxed THE MIND’S EYE Director Joe Begos in the ring, and DARLING was picked up for worldwide distribution rights by Screen Media Films.

Critics Dig WE ARE STILL HERE at SXSW
The reviews are coming in for WE ARE STILL HERE, directed by GEP pal Ted Geoghegan, starring Barbara Crampton and Andrew Sensenig and featuring Lisa Marie, Fessenden, and Monte Markham!
“Geoghegan lets loose and delivers a satisfying and chilling climax
while balancing the gore and tension nicely.
…Crampton and Sensenig make for a believable couple.
They’re both wounded and dealing with it in different ways.
…As always, Larry Fessenden delivers a rock solid performance with finely tuned comedic beats.”
– Patrick Cooper, BLOODY-DISGUSTING
“Geoghegan establishes what seems to be a simple haunted house set-up
but adds complications which make the outcome less predictable…
The pleasantly mature Crampton and Sensenig underplay sensitively, giving a little depth to their plight.
…an afternoon séance raises the wrong ghost, allowing Fessenden
to do an impressive possessed act, and the film starts to take after the gorier efforts of the 1980s”
– Kim Newman, SCREEN DAILY
“We Are Still Here is the first incredibly scary and pure horror film of 2015.
There’s just nothing out there like it, and there hasn’t been in quite some time.
…We all should consider ourselves lucky that Barbara Crampton decided to resume her acting career
because this lady brings a lot to the table that’s been sorely missing.
with solid performances from the always great Larry Fessenden,
the wonderfully odd Lisa Marie, and the ever-frazzled Andrew Sensenig;
and we have a winner here, folks.”
– Steve Barton, DREAD CENTRAL
“Writer/producer Ted Geoghegan makes an assured directorial debut
with the stylish and mesmerizing WE ARE STILL HERE.
…it’s an absolute pleasure to see Barbara Crampton, Andrew Sensenig, Monte Markham,
and Larry Fessenden deliver note-perfect performances in substantial roles.”
– Peter Martin, TWITCH FILM
“It takes a special film and one that offers something different to the table
to not only revive the interest of the horror viewer, but the subgenre as a whole.
Thankfully, Ted Geoghegan’s WE ARE STILL HERE
is not only that something different that the genre needs,
but is also a wildly original and terrifyingly entertaining ride,
sure to be the most memorable genre film of the year.
…Lisa Marie and Larry Fessenden give two great performances as May and Jacob,
with Fessenden providing one of the scariest scenes in the entire film.”
– Jerry Smith, ICONS OF FRIGHT
“what elevates WE ARE STILL HERE even further is the way it manages,
from first line to very last, to imbue its exploration of the outer extremes of darkness and horror
with a real poignancy, heart and humanity.”
– Shawn Macomber, FANGORIA
Really enjoyed @tedgeoghegan‘s Fulci-inspired chiller WE ARE STILL HERE,
which as a bonus has the best Fessenden performance since HABIT.

Northeast Boating
Once seldom visited by boaters, Providence, Rhode Island, is transforming itself into a city worth discovering at the head of Narragansett Bay.
(Text below)
It was a quiet, gray morning as I paddled my kayak along the Seekonk River. Rounding India Point Park in Providence, with the shore about 30 feet to my right, I could see the wide mouth of the Providence River just beyond the grassy banks. I started to paddle over to a boat ramp when—thud!—I felt something smash against the bottom of my kayak.
My heart jumped. Then I felt two more quick taps near the back of the hull. The most rational explanation to my panicked mind was obvious: It was a sea monster—Rhode Island’s Nessie—trying to capsize me. Instead, I turned to see a wide-eyed cormorant pop out of the water a few feet away.
After a few deep breaths I gathered my wits and paddled to the ramp. My run-in with the cormorant hadn’t been the only encounter with waterfowl during my two-hour paddle along the Seekonk. I’d passed a half-dozen great blue herons and spooked scores of ducks. I was amazed at how such a grassy, tree-lined river scene could so completely hide the nearby downtown high-rises.
Not long ago, the only things I knew about Providence involved crooked politicians and the city’s large number of . . well, I’ll politely refer to them as gentlemen’s clubs. I just recently began to discover Providence because of my kids. It started when my wife Becky and I took 4-year-old Emma and 2-year-old Owen to the city’s Roger Williams Zoo—one of the Northeast’s best—where we all marveled at the animals. That led us to venture into other parts of the city—searching for burritos in the neighborhoods around Brown University and letting the kids play on the rope gym at India Point Park.
Now, as I pulled my kayak out of the water, a thought hit me like a speeding cormorant: I had been missing a lot. So I started exploring. What I found was an emerging waterfront, historic neighborhoods and a hip restaurant scene, as well as an event called Waterfire that just might make Providence the most romantic city in the Northeast. Yeah, that’s right—Providence.
Frank Duggan steered Sea Nile—a 26-foot Fortier powerboat—past the massive Fox Point Hurricane Barrier, underneath the yet-unused I-195 highway bridge and out into the wide mouth of the Providence River. It was a cool, late October day, and I was wearing a thick sweatshirt, with a wool hat in case it got really cold. But a bright, clear sky stretched overhead, and it was a great day for extending the boating season by one more weekend.
Come October, Rhode Island is one of the last refuges for New England boaters. While the leaves around my house near Boston had mostly turned brown and dropped, many of the trees lining the Providence River and northern Narragansett Bay were still green, with brushstrokes of yellows and reds mixed in. With the Providence skyline behind us and seagulls wheeling overhead, we kicked up our last wake of the year.
There may be people who know the Providence waterfront better than Frank Duggan, but I doubt it. As a lifelong resident of the area, he throws out facts and anecdotes about Providence like a history professor. He puts that knowledge to good use as the dockmaster and tour boat operator for Providence Piers. Right now it might look like an empty lot with a long dock on the western side of the Providence River, but Providence Piers could be the biggest thing to hit the city’s waterfront since Roger Williams, Providence’s founder, arrived in 1636. It is currently home to the 49-foot tour boat Duggan skippers and the Providence-to-Newport fast ferry. But developers Patrick and Gail Conley aim to make it the city’s first major waterfront development in recent memory—with plans that include an 88-slip marina, a hotel and condominiums.
As we motored on, the differences between East Providence (actually another city) and the working waterfront of the Providence River’s western shore became clear. The river’s eastern bank was tree-lined and dotted with condominiums, while to starboard loomed giant coal piles, storage buildings and freight cars. Just south of the LNG terminal, we cruised past the brand new Save the Bay Center on the western shore. Built on the site of the old Fields Point dump, the center is now used to teach people about the ecological importance of Narragansett Bay. Next we visited Pawtuxet Cove, where Duggan said Revolutionary War-era Rhode Islanders had their own run-in with the British several months before the much more famous Boston Tea Party. They sank a British revenue ship in what was arguably the first act of defiance by the colonists. “They don’t teach that in Massachusetts,” Duggan said with a laugh.
We motored across the northern reaches of Narragansett Bay and then back up toward Providence, circling Pomham Rocks Lighthouse. Built in 1871, the light is owned by Exxon Mobil and maintained by the Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse, a group that hopes to open the lighthouse to the public. The red-roofed house with the light atop a 42-foot tower sits on a large rock in the Providence River near the East Providence shore and has a beautiful lawn and one stately tree. I imagine the decommissioned light would be a wonderful place to live, except during hurricanes and nor’easters. The area is particularly vulnerable to powerful storms, as the Providence River opens up into Narragansett Bay directly to the south, leaving them open to large storm surges. Ruins left by the devastating 1938 hurricane still dot the riverfront.
As we cruised, Duggan filled me in on the rapid changes going on in Providence. Not long ago, many looked on the city as little more than a gas stop between Boston and New York City. Industries had fled the area, downtown businesses stood empty and nobody came to Providence unless they absolutely had to. But now Providence is experiencing a mighty renaissance. Businesses are coming back and people are returning. “I still get shocked walking around,” says Duggan. “I was downtown a few weeks ago, and there were more light bulbs burning on one street corner than used to burn in the entire city.”
Roughly a decade ago city officials came to the startling realization that Providence had a valuable waterfront. Much of it was a neglected, underdeveloped mess of abandoned buildings and overgrown empty lots. With the right planning, officials realized, they could remake the waterfront into a place people would want to visit. They have since launched a major construction effort, much like Boston’s Big Dig, relocating a highway that once separated the waterfront from downtown in order to reconnect the shore with the rest of the city. Every place you go along the waterfront, you can see evidence of that work.
Yet, for a waterfront city, Providence doesn’t offer much to visiting boaters. Downtown Marina. behind the hurricane barrier, has a handful of transient slips. There are a couple more slips up the Seekonk River at the Oyster House Marina and at the East Providence Yacht Club. Other than that, boaters have to grab slips or moorings a few miles down the coast. That’s also where you’ll need to look if you want to gas up or have work done on your boat. But that’s changing. Besides the marina Providence Piers wants to put in, the city’s major planning document—a text called Providence 2020—calls for more access to be created for recreational boaters. Officials realize that lower Narragansett Bay is maxed out with marinas and that the upper bay and Providence area is the logical place for growth. Providing access to boaters will help business in Providence, and there are plenty of places nearby for boaters to enjoy.
Across the river from Providence Piers, cyclists pedal along the scenic 13-mile East Bay Bike Path, running from East Providence to Bristol. Within the next year, the bike path will cross the Seekonk River to India Point and into the city. At India Point Park people play soccer on the athletic fields, kids play on the kind of playground I wish we had when I was younger and a scenic walkway lines the waterfront, ending at the Community Boating Center, where residents who may not own their own boats can come to sail.
Just beyond India Point Park is the neighborhood of Fox Point, which has a laid-back, college-town feel about it. Fliers covering telephone poles advertise lectures, theater and music shows, activist meetings and restaurants. The aromas from Indian and Thai restaurants fill the air, and crowds sip cups of Java on the porch of the ultra-popular Coffee Exchange.
Follow the waterfront westward, and you come to the shore of the Providence River, just behind the hurricane barrier. The riprap near there is a popular shore-fishing spot, with urban anglers catching large stripers early in the season. Nearby, brand-new shops, clubs and restaurants represent the city’s changing face. When I was there this past spring, it was as if a completely different neighborhood had sprung up since my visit the previous fall. Oasis Café, with its panini sandwiches, had just opened. A few doors down, workers were sawing and hammering inside Steam Alley, a bar that was scheduled to open a few weeks later. Across the street a restaurant and lounge called Kurrents had just opened next to Downtown Marina, where I’d set out from with Frank Duggan last fall.
At Kurrents I sat outside on the large wooden deck, enjoying a sandwich and a beer and looking out over the river, gawking at beautiful powerboats pulling into the marina. The bartender, Lee Gemelli, told me the neighborhood was a popular spot on Friday and Saturday nights, with people packing Kurrents and the neighboring Hot Club and Fish Company Bar and Grille. A highway bridge walls off the neighborhood from downtown Providence, but Gemelli said the bridge should be gone within a year. He said the city also plans to extend the line of WaterFire braziers down the Providence River to their neighborhood.
Talk to local business people about what has spawned the city’s renaissance, and some may credit the extensive construction, others may mention all the new restaurants, but almost everyone will point to one thing: WaterFire.
Several times each summer and into the fall, WaterFire organizers light fires in roughly 100 braziers running down the middle of the Providence River as it flows through the heart of the city. Artist Barnaby Evans started it more than 10 years ago to attract people to Providence River Park, which comprises more than a mile of scenic walkways and seven acres of open space along the river. “I only intended to do it once,” says Evans. “It was so popular, people wanted us to keep doing it.” Today, thousands flock to WaterFire. Evans shies away from claims that the display triggered the city’s renaissance, but, he says, if people come for WaterFire and discover all that Providence has to offer, that’s a good thing.
Not long ago, much of the Providence River was literally buried beneath the city, covered by industrial lots and freight yards and hidden from sight. But in recent years it has been uncovered and is now celebrated, part of the city’s facelift that was largely spearheaded by the colorful—and now infamous—former mayor Vincent “Buddy” Cianci. The still-popular mayor recently served jail time after a conviction for corruption and racketeering, but his influence in bringing the city into the limelight remains undeniable. Walk through the city and almost every plaque telling visitors about a new park or city feature bears Cianci’s name. That may be why many residents shrug their shoulders apologetically when the mayor’s name comes up, then sing his praises.
An hour before WaterFire lights up, the crowd builds along the river, visiting booths selling ice cream, crepes and Indian food. On the river, passing under a brick bridge, a man in a black-and-white-striped shirt poles a gondola while a couple onboard enjoys glasses of wine. Nearby, the city center’s tall buildings reflect the sunset’s reddish-pink glow.
During the day, small boats can access this part of the Providence River. Meandering up the waterway is a great way to see the city, and some businesses have docks that boaters can sometimes get permission to tie up to. Just be sure to keep an eve on the water level, as the river is shallow in spots, especially at low tide. When the fires are burning, though, the river is off-limits to the boating public.
As dusk settles in, small motorboats crewed by black-garbed workers slowly cruise upriver to light the fires. They begin as small flames, but soon become spectacular bonfires with quivering flames reaching six or seven feet above the water. Crackling sounds and the fragrant smell of burning cedar fill the air, and orange light reflects off surrounding stone walls and the faces of the crowd. People pose for photos. A wide-eyed girl chomps a caramel apple as she stares at the flames. A middle-aged couple snuggles in the glow.
A boat passes by with a man in the bow dressed in ghostly white, a black mask over his eyes and a pirate hat on his head. He tosses roses to the crowds alongside the river and onto the bridges overhead. At the city’s World War I monument nearby, people pose for pictures with ornately dressed human statues: a pharaoh. a Greek god and two gargoyles.
Down the road, crowds sitting at white tables around a jazz stage on Steeple Street (closed to traffic) applaud as a young musician plays his guitar while a keyboardist taps some background accompaniment.
Back at the river the burning fires along the water look like something out of medieval Europe. Adding to that feeling are candle lit chandeliers hung along the walkways beneath the Exchange
Street and Waterplace Bridges. In fact, I have to think that if WaterFire were held in a major world city, it would be as much of a must-do experience as visiting the Eiffel Tower in Paris or walking the Charles Bridge in Prague. Of course, Providence doesn’t have the cachet of Paris or Prague . . . at least not yet.

Border Crossings: Language + Art
Vol. 38 No. 1 Issue 149
Vol 38 No 1 Issue 149
Available on Newsstands Soon!
In this Issue Border Crossings looks at language and the artists who make art of and with it.
Border Crossings talks with Italian-born, Berlin-based artist, Rosa Barba. Primarily a filmmaker and a sculptor, Barba is interested in interstices. She regards the components of cinema—the projector, the sound, the lights, the language and text—as protagonists— often fragmenting and dismantling elements in order to create new layers of meaning among them.
Mel Bochner is an iconic American artist. One of the leading figures in the development of Conceptual art in New York in the 1960’s and 70’s, he is known primarily for his text-based paintings. Bochner explores the territory that shifts between language and visual representation. His work continually probes how we experience and perceive and he questions what it is that we are seeing. The work is enigmatic and endlessly engaging.
Sean Landers is an American painter and multimedia artist living and working in New York. Often confessional in nature, Landers’ work utilizes text and language to create fantastical landscapes and self-referential stream-of-consciousness texts. His work happily blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction.
Also in this issue, Stephen Horne discusses the recent text paintings of Andy Patton in Never There Where in which he engages the writing of 8th century Chinese Tang poets. Border Crossings also presents an intriguing portfolio by Ken Lum entitled the, “Necrology Series”—the text presents reading, as he says, “as real rather than fact.”
The Crossover section includes reviews on “The Silver Cord,” Tammi Campbell, Gordon Parks, Walter Scott, Mika Rottenberg, Anna Boghiguian, Lee Ufan, Steven Leyden Cochrane, Ross Bleckner and Zachari Logan, “Days of Reading” and + much more…

Michael Vick: When You’re a Jet You’re a Jet
New York Jets Profiles
By Mark Brown and Jae Barclay
Two Sundays ago, quarterback Michael Vick made $250,000 for doing his job with the New York Jets. Called upon to replace starter Geno Smith, he completed 8 of 19 passes for a paltry 47 yards against the Chargers.
Three days later, the veteran said of his readiness for that game, “Maybe I didn’t prepare or I wasn’t prepared … I learned a lesson last week: always stay ready, always be prepared.”
This is what the Jets are getting for their money after signing Vick last March to a one-year, $4 million contract including a guaranteed $1M signing bonus and another $1M in potential incentives – a guy who doesn’t prepare to do his job. Apparently, Michael Vick is the first person in NFL history not to learn this lesson until reaching age 34 and playing his 12th season as a professional.
This past Sunday, Vick made another cool quarter-million for doing his job against Denver, this time holding a clipboard while standing on the Jets sideline for a few hours. His next paid gig, likely to feature plenty more sideline duty, will come this Thursday night against New England in this season’s first meeting between the archrivals.
New York’s deal with the embattled free agent prompted many questions and raised eyebrows. What would his role be, and would he embrace it? How would it affect Smith, their 2013 second-rounder? Would his criminal past continue to nip at his heels? And just how much would this guy ‒ with declining skills, an injury history, and a record of questionable decision-making and possession management ‒ have left in the tank?
The Arrival
The Jets announced the Vick acquisition mere minutes after officially dumping maligned former first-rounder Mark Sanchez (whose release left the team with $4.8M in dead money for 2014). Adding to the frenzied atmosphere, both moves came on the second anniversary of the team’s ill-fated Tim Tebow trade, making this tabloid lede especially appropriate:
Get your cotton candy and pinwheels ready. The Jets may be bringing the circus back to town.
The rationalization behind the signing was clear: Vick would either compete for the starting job or play amentor role while backing up young Smith. It also marked a reunion of Vick with Jets offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, who held that role in Philadelphia during Vick’s first three seasons with the Eagles (2010-2012).
Prior to the signing, Jets general manager John Idzik, Jr. had alluded to that relationship by citing his team’s “insider knowledge” of Vick. However, in January 2013, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that “Vick and Mornhinweg were not on the best of terms this past season with the [Eagles], and neither the veteran quarterback nor the newly hired Jets offensive coordinator are interested in reuniting in New York.” Yet in late April 2014, a month after Vick’s signing, Mornhinweg told the press, “I think this thing will work beautifully … I expect Geno to progress at a high rate with Mike’s help. It’s just that simple.”
Vick’s past, including an 18-month federal prison sentence for his participation in an interstate dog-fighting ring, followed him to the swamps of Jersey. Voices of opposition resonated anew, and not just from the familiar circles of animal rights organizations. Students at SUNY-Cortland, where the Jets hold training camp each summer, circulated a petition seeking to have Vick barred from campus. A Facebook page, now with more than 23,000 “likes,” called for a boycott of the Jets for welcoming the “dog killer.” Meanwhile Jets owner Woody Johnson voiced confidence in his new quarterback’s character, calling him “a changed person.”
Age and Erosion
There were plenty of other observers who questioned the signing purely for football reasons, and the numbers over the previous four years bear out those concerns:
Year Started Cmp% TD PY/A QBR Rush Yds INT Fumbles
2010 12 62.6 21 8.5 100.2 676 6 11
2011 13 59.8 18 7.2 84.9 589 14 10
2013 6 54.6 5 8.4 86.5 306 3 4
In 2010, Vick’s second season back in the NFL (and first as a starter) after serving his prison term, he had a fantastic year for the Eagles. He finished in the league’s top five in numerous traditional QB statistics, including passer rating (100.2), passing yards per attempt (8.5), average yards per completion (13.0), comeback victories (4) and lowest interception percentage (1.6%). Vick also led all NFL rushers with a 6.8 yards per carry average.
The ensuing years have not been kind to his legacy, with steady declines in performance, playing time, and health. He sustained broken ribs in 2011, another rib injury in 2012 (against the Patriots), a concussion in 2012, and a hamstring tear last year in Week 5 that effectively ended his season, as Nick Foles finished out the string as Philadelphia’s starter.
Turnovers have been a blight on Vick’s reputation for years, and it’s only gotten worse in his post-incarceration phase. While starting in 41 games the last four seasons, Vick has amassed 33 INTs and 36 fumbles. That’s 1.121 turnovers per start, and he ranked 1st, 2nd and 4th in the NFL in fumbles from 2010 through 2012.
The picture looks even uglier viewed through the advanced metrics of Pro Football Focus:
PFF Stats
Year Overall Pass Rush PFF QBR PFF QBR RK Accuracy Acc. RK
2010 11.8 -2.0 12.7 93.6 #3 76.3 #3
2011 10.5 10.1 2.7 88.0 #11 73.4 #10
2012 -11.4 -9.9 -3.2 81.4 #22 71.2 #17
2013 -0.2 -4.3 4.3 83.1 Not ranked 66.4 Not ranked
Vick’s accuracy fell by a whopping 9.9% over the last four seasons. Perhaps of greater concern here is the precipitous collapse of his rushing numbers, which points to issues across the board for Vick as a quarterback. Vick’s legs have been responsible for most of his career highlight-reel plays, whether scrambling away from pocket pressure before heaving a deep completion, or breaking free for long runs from scrimmage. A reduction in his trademark speed, quickness, and agility was bound to happen as he aged, but the effects appear to have taken hold long before the Jets welcomed him aboard.
Echoing the above findings, Football Outsiders ranked Vick 26th in QBR (46.0), 27th in DYAR (-87), and 28th in DVOA (-14.4) for the 2012 season among 39 qualified quarterbacks. And last year, in an injury-shortened season, Vick ranked 27th in DYAR.
The data and observations on Vick appear to have been lost on the Jets front office, but not on their competitors. As one NFL source told Gary Myers of The Daily News, “Do I want to give the keys to Michael Vick? Depends how fast you want to go in reverse.”
DO. YOUR. JOB. (Uhhh… Whatever That Is)
When the Jets began their summer workouts in July, team officials maintained their oft-stated company line that Geno Smith was not, in fact, the anointed starter, and that there would be an open competition for the position between him and Vick. For his part, Vick said (as he had time and again) that the starting job was Smith’s, even telling Sports Illustrated’s Jenny Vrentas, “I’m kind of relishing the moment that I’m in right now … I am not required to have to do a lot,” and calling his arrangement “an opportunity for me to refresh myself and take a step back away from the game” with “no stress, no pressure.”
When it came to deciphering whose version of his role was the truth ‒ Vick’s or his employer’s ‒ the pre-season workload told the tale, with the bulk of the first-team snaps going to Smith on a consistent basis. It remains unclear whether that division of labor stemmed from a preconceived and contradictory decision by the Jets to treat Smith as the chosen starter, or a reaction to Vick’s unimpressive performances during the club’s OTA workouts in May. Regardless, it didn’t sit well with some Jets coaches who “privately expressed disappointment that Vick didn’t show up more hell-bent on winning the starting job,” according to Vrentas.
As anyone with a pulse could have projected based on the summer goings-on, Smith entered the regular season as the Jets’ starting signal caller. Vick saw sporadic action in their first three contests, throwing an incompletion on his only pass attempt in a season-opening win over the Raiders, picking up three yards on his lone rush in a Week 3 loss to the Bears, and registering no statistics in a Week 2 loss at Green Bay.
In sum, Vick lined up for three snaps in the Oakland game, all of them described as trick plays by ESPN’s Rich Cimini:
“[They deployed] him twice as a slot receiver near the goal line. He was a decoy on the first play, with Geno Smith giving him a quick look — as if he were going to throw him a pass. Smith ran the other way, as designed, and he fumbled. A little later, they drew up a schoolyard play, with Chris Johnson taking a direct snap and pitching to Vick, who missed a wide-open Eric Decker in the end zone.
As kids, we all used to run those plays in the street — you know, the kind of plays in which we used the telephone pole and the blue Chevy as landmarks.
Mornhinweg is a good play-caller, a sound coach with a little riverboat gambler in his DNA (which is a good thing), but this Vick stuff has to stop. All it does is disrupt Smith and the offense, torturing the fan base with bad memories of the Tim Tebow debacle.”
After a Week 4 loss to Detroit (in which Vick did not play) came the aforementioned San Diego travesty. With Smith benched after a disastrous first half (completing 4 of 12 passes for 27 yards and an interception for a QB rating of 7.6), on came his veteran backup to start the 3rd quarter. The Chargers sacked him on his second play. In the fourth quarter, he was flagged for intentional grounding and later took another penalty for passing beyond the line of scrimmage. That latter infraction wiped out a touchdown throw to Greg Salas.
By midweek came the preparation mea culpa by Vick. How did Jets head coach Rex Ryan react?
Ryan said Vick’s response, which drew national criticism, took “guts” and was “exactly what I wanted. I wanted guys to take a stand and admit that, ‘You know what? I can do more,'” Ryan said. “I think that’s what Mike is doing. He knows what’s going to be said about him, yet he chose to take that stand.”
Bleak Horizon
Vick is not a “decent” starter in the NFL anymore – and not a better option than Smith, which is saying something. The second-year player threw 21 picks in his rookie season (comprising 4.7% of his attempts) on the way to a 66.5 QB rating (dead last among 37 qualifiers). 2014 has brought only marginal improvement for Smith on interceptions (7 picks, 3.7% of pass attempts) but he remains at the bottom of the NFL in QB rating at 69.7 (among 32 qualifiers). The bottom line is: Whether it’s Vick or Smith taking snaps, either will miss a ton of throws and make a lot of turnovers.
Idzik is coming under increasing fire as critics destroy him over his personnel moves. With Vick, he has brought in a controversial, clearly fading veteran with a high turnover ratio to caddy for a struggling sophomore quarterback with a high turnover ratio and unclear upside
The New York Jets still haven’t managed to figure it out, and that’s nothing but good news for the rest of the league.

JAIPUR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Jaipur International airport receives Aerodrome license from DGCA, plans to reopen T1
Jaipur International airport receives Aerodrome license from aviation regulator DGCA, plans to expand the airport considering the future requirements; to reopen Terminal 1, reports PTI.

Jaipur International airport receives Aerodrome license from DGCA
Jaipur International airport plans to reopen T1
Terminal- 1 will be developed on the lines of presently operational Terminal-2
Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has given Jaipur International Airport the Aerodrome licence for ensuring complete management of the airport in accordance with the concession agreement. Earlier, the Airport Authority of India (AAI) was the licence holder. Now the private player, which is operating the Jaipur airport since October 2021, has become the new licence holder. After receiving the Aerodrome license, the airport now plans to expand the airport considering the future requirements. Hence, management is now planning to reopen the Terminal- 1 which has been non-operational for the last 10 years. Terminal- 1 will be developed on the lines of presently operational Terminal-2.
"We have received the Aerodrome license for Jaipur International Airport Limited (JIAL). Now the complete management of the airport lies with us following the concession agreement. Major customer-centric changes have been made at the airport and now we are looking for expansion," said a senior official of JIAL.

"The airport management has conducted an extensive survey at Jaipur airport which revealed that present passenger traffic of 50 lakh per annum will reach 1 crore by 2025. Considering future requirements, the management is now planning to reopen Terminal- 1 which has been non-operational for the last 10 years," he added.
The official further said unscheduled flights (chartered flights and air ambulance) and some of the international airlines will be operated from Terminal-1 when it is operationalized.
"Terminal- 1 will be developed on the lines of presently operational Terminal-2. Massive IT-related infrastructure, food and beverage services, and retail outlets, measures for zero carbon emission and environment sustainability, and security arrangements will be in place on the lines of T-2," he added.
The Jaipur airport, as per the environment guidelines, is developing a mini-forest near Dudu town where 4,400 trees will be planted and maintained for 5 years. The step is being taken in accordance with the law keeping in mind any sort of damage to green cover during the Terminal-1 expansion, the official said.
At Terminal-2, the airport management has installed new e- boarding gates, an electronic helpdesk, 50 retail and branded outlets for customers, automated parking, and transport mechanisms where private cab operators like WTI, Ola, and Uber have been given a place to operate.
Works like planting of saplings have been done, old vehicles have been replaced with electric vehicles, and an electric vehicle charging station for the public will be opened this month at T-2. Moreover, new radars and runway visibility systems have been enhanced with the latest technology. Similar facilities are going to be provided at the soon-to-be-opened T-1. A requirement of about 240 CISF security personnel has also been raised by the airport administration for making T-1 operational.

WinZo against online gaming self-regulatory norms
written by admin September 21, 2022 1 comment
E-gaming startup WinZo has opposed the idea of joining a Self-Regulatory Organisation (SRO) for e-gaming firms, two sources briefed on the matter said.
This comes amid government efforts to draft guidelines for online gaming.
WinZo had written to Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrashekhar expressing its views on the SRO structure in June, the sources said.
Besides WinZo, other gaming firms have also had internal differences on the matter and there is a consensus that one SRO might not be enough for the sector, the sources added.
“WinZo formally shot off its note to the government (in June). But companies are of the view that one SRO might not be enough,” one of the sources said. “There is also concern among companies like WinZo that an SRO structure might also lead to governance issues if it is driven by fantasy gaming platforms,” another person added.
WinZo identifies itself as a real-money gaming platform that is skill-based and not chance-based.
When contacted, WinZo’s founder Saumya Singh Rathore told ET that the company was opposed to an SRO structure.
“As a stakeholder, we agree on the urgent need to revamp the regulatory framework for the digital gaming industry,” Singh and co-founder Pavan Nanda wrote to the ministry in the letter dated June 24.
The founders added that enforcing governance by SROs in the digital gaming industry was not possible “ due to a well-documented history of an inability to achieve the desired outcomes in other sectors such as financial securities.…”
However, the WinZo founders also signed a follow-up note to Chandrashekhar on June 27 – which was co-signed by 79 other gaming firms – recommending how games of skill should be defined.
ET recently reviewed a copy of both the letters, the contents of which have not been made public till now.
WinZo hosts about 100 skill-based third-party games, including fantasy cricket and football, chess, carrom, racing, and others. The platform’s main contention is the outsized influence of certain gaming companies in the sector over the SRO.
“It is noteworthy that nascent sectors are often susceptible to the growth of monopolies and resultant intense competition. The fear also is that the process envisages an approval of each game by an SRO, before launch. Inherent in this process is the disclosure requirement of some of the IP – to industry peers – which is not an incentive for any industry to thrive or innovate,” according to the first letter.
Singh and Nanda said strategic advantage may be lost on account of the inherent inefficiencies that creep into the process of certification by an SRO.
WinZo’s stand on SROs comes at a time when it has sued Google for its recent policy to allow daily fantasy sports and rummy games on the Google Play Store as part of a pilot project, leaving out a large segment of skill gaming platforms and independent developers.
ET reported on August 23 that rules for gaming under the IT Act would contain clauses on self-regulation and that the gaming sector has already been directed to come up with an SRO that can look into and adjudicate various aspects related to online gaming.
“A self-regulatory framework with the controlling involvement of any monopolistic entity or entities may prove counter-productive to the competitive spirit of the market, by the creation of barriers to entry for new age players,” the note sent by WinZo founders added.

Sixty now homeless after Silver Lake Boxing Day ...
Sixty now homeless after Silver Lake Boxing Day fire
A man vigorously brushes his teeth and spits down a precipice overlooking a gorgeous river and green, green valley.
This is a cold and wet Silver Lake at seven in the morning, the part of the small hamlet that you do not see as you drive up and down the Roseau Valley- the part that screams for all the attention the State could offer- the part that fire gutted on the worst Boxing Day in the lives of 60, now homeless, people.
A dog sits on black, burnt wood and stares mournfully as its master surveys his burnt dwelling house where his wife and children and his dogs lived a few hours earlier. Two small dogs either ran away in fear, or was burnt to death, he says.
A woman, her concrete shop stands in the middle of the basket-ball-court-size mini-village of burnt wood and galvanize and debris, hands out free brown mastiff loaves of bread to the victims of the fire. If her shop had not been razed, she says, she would, at this moment, be quite busy selling the loaves and sachets of coffee and thin slices of Cheddar cheese to all 18 families who lives nearby.
"Everybody come by me for their bread, for their coffee," she said. No longer will they come.
She lamented that she had stocked the shop with extra bags of sugar, of flour of rice, because it is Christmas. All burnt.
The fire, at Silver Lake, a hamlet situated just 10 minutes from the centre of the city, started at about 9.30 pm, eyewitnesses said.
"It started there," said a man pointing to the spot, now a mass of twisted, blackened galvanized sheets. "And I see the wind just push that up there. See propane cylinders there? (as he points again) - some of them not even release their heads yet."
"Everything burn, everything go," said another man, aiming a finger at a charred barely-recognizable appliance. "That is my washing machine."
He said some of the victims now live at the community centre at Bath Estate, others have camped at relatives and friends; the majority stayed back, staring hopelessly at their burnt houses as smoked and flames rose from smoldering embers.
What caused the fire? There's no official word yet but theories abound.
"I vex wee boy," a man said. "So if a fire start there, right there… how come in little time it burned down that house and that house… and that house? You mad- this is a set fire. And you know what? - Nobody will talk".
"I mad you know-I tell you I mad," he added.
Another man said he had a premonition that something was going to happen in Silver Lake over the Christmas season.
"I was smellin' somethin' going to happen," he said. "Last night, see me drinkin' tea bags. I doh drink not one rum for Christmas because I knew that was goin' to happen. Weh, weh,weh! It still have fire in de place!"

Drumming In The Shadows Of Giants
Four score years ago (give or take), our forefathers brought forth the drum solo. The people watched and listened, danced and cheered, and it was good.
Prophets and pioneers like Baby Dodds, Chick Webb, and Big Sid Catlett passed the sticks down to Gene Krupa, and his showmanship and rhythmic grace brought the spotlight to the drum solo as a popular performance piece. Gene Krupa was the first and only drummer to have a movie based on his life, and more than forty years ago, before I ever touched a pair of drumsticks or knew what a snare drum was, I saw The Gene Krupa Story on late-night TV. To the boy I was then, the notion of being a drummer seemed exciting, glamorous, elegant, and dangerous, and my eyes must have been shining with inspiration and desire. I remember thinking, "I wanna do that!"
A few years later, when I did get a pair of drumsticks, and learned what a snare drum was, I began to get a sense of how much I had to learn. By the mid-'60s, so many giants had come before, pushing the frontiers of what had come to be known as jazz music. Buddy Rich's amazing technique and musicality had raised the drum solo to an even higher level of artistry and popular appreciation, and other inspired soloists like Louie Bellson, Max Roach, Joe Morello, Sonny Payne, Roy Haynes, Art Blakey, and Jack DeJohnette took the form in fresh, exciting directions.
And at the same time as I was starting out, drum solos began to bloom in rock music too, in concerts and recordings. Ginger Baker, Mitch Mitchell, Carmine Appice, John Bonham, Carl Palmer, and Michael Shrieve brought audiences to their feet in theaters, arenas, stadiums, and festivals, and fired me with more inspiration and desire. "I wanna do that!"
Through the '60s and '70s, jazz remained vital and constantly changing. Its various mutations produced brilliant innovators like Billy Cobham and Tony Williams, who built a bridge between jazz and rock-a bridge that would later be crossed in both directions by Steve Gadd, Steve Smith, Peter Erskine, Bill Bruford, Terry Bozzio, Dave Weckl, and many others, all traveling with their own musical mastery and unbounded imagination.
For anyone who appreciates drum solos, whether playing them or watching and listening, I hope Anatomy of a Drum Solo will be entertaining, informative, and maybe even inspiring.
For those who recognize the feeling, "I wanna do that!", I can at least demonstrate and articulate the way this drummer thinks about drum soloing, but my far greater hope is to inspire others to build their own solos, tell their own stories, as an expression of their tastes, their character, and their lives.
The drum solo is a tradition handed down to us, our heritage, as it were, and it is a heritage worth celebrating. Giants have come before us, and giants will come after, but even while us mere mortals play in their shadows, we can be inspired to aim just a little higher every day - or every night.
Drum solos are not for everyone, of course, whether they're drummers or music lovers. But even drummers who choose not to perform drum solos can still enjoy and benefit from a private indulgence. Exploring and experimenting freely, and even just that kind of practicing on your own, can only nourish and improve your playing.
At the end of my commentary in this DVD, I offer a blessing, or a wish, that is not just for drummers, but for everybody:
Go forth into the musical wilderness, and play well!
Anatomy of a Drum Solo presents newly-recorded, in-studio footage of Neil discussing, in detail, his approach to soloing. Using a solo recorded in September, 2004 in Frankfurt, Germany, as a framework, Neil talks about each segment of this nine-minute tour de force that is a feature of each Rush performance. He describes the inspiration and the conceptual thinking behind each part of the solo and discusses, and often demonstrates, the technique necessary for playing that segment.
Also included are two "explorations" - completely improvised workouts at the drums, each over thirty-minutes long; a never-before-released solo recorded in Hamburg, Germany in September, 2004 ("Ich Bin Ein Hamburger"); "O Baterista", Neil's Grammy(r) Award-nominated solo (previously released on the Rush in Rio DVD); two full Rush performances from Frankfurt '04, all shot from the perspective of the drum cameras; interviews with Lorne Wheaton, Neil's drum tech, and Paul Northfield, Rush co-producer and engineer; a full-color booklet, a photo gallery and more.
Camera Option - during Neil's performance of "Der Trommler," the viewer can choose between the program edit and two isolated cameras for different views.
Alternate Edits - during parts of Neil's analysis of "Der Trommler," the viewer can choose between the program edit, or an alternate edit with the playing example shown full-screen without Neil's commentary.
Audio-only tracks, "Momo's Dance Party" and "Pieces of Eight," composed and performed by Neil, which can be accessed at various points in the program.
Two Rush performance recorded and filmed in Frankfurt, September, 2004, from the perspective of the drum cameras.
Bonus Footage - a previously unreleased solo from the Rush Counterparts tour recorded March 27, 1994 at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Michigan.

Neil Peart's second instructional drum video
Click here for the Anatomy Of A Drum Solo Transcript Archive
"During soundcheck, we played a few extra songs for the cameras and recording truck, and after dinner, I made a quick note about the upcoming event: 'Filming and recording tonight, just to make it 'extra special.' Big pressure on solo particularly, if I go ahead with that instructional video. Oh boy...' Sometimes that kind of pressure inspired us to rise to an exalted level, as had happened the previous tour in Rio de Janeiro, and for other performances we had recorded and filmed over the years. However, other times that kind of pressure had the opposite effect, making us tense and...lousy. Frankfurt, sadly, was the second kind. I had a cold coming on, and felt fuzzy headed, and all of us were edgy, overconcentrating and overanalyzing. It seemed like we had to fight our way through the show. I made a nasty mistake right in the first song, the 'R30 Overture,' and never really recovered. Something bad happened in 'Earthshine,' and again in 'One Little Victory,' and at the time I though they had all been my fault. (The next night, after I had tormented myself all day about it, gone over those parts in my head all day, and even rehearsed that part of 'Earthsine' in the Bubba-Gump room before the show, Alex told me it had been Geddy in 'Earthshine,' and Geddy told me it was Alex in 'One Little Victory.') I also had some technical and mental difficulties in the drum solo, the part I had particularly wanted to be perfect if I was going to use it as the basis for an instructional video. So, I waas feeling pretty low after that show, down on myself about it. (Again, the recorded solo would prove to be fine, objectively, for use in the convert DVD and the instructional one, Anatomy of a Drum Solo. The unexpected changed only amounted to "variations on a theme." Bust still - it hadn't been what I wanted it to be.)" - Neil Peart, Roadshow
"Hamburg...we did play really well that night, and for me, the solo was particulary strong, confident and inventive, one of the best of the tour. After I ended it with the big gong sample (the only possible conclusion to all that bombast), I climbed down and sat behind the dryers during the acoustic interlude. Gump gave me his rare praise, 'Nice one, man,' and I said 'Why wasn't that one caught on film?' Gump must have talked to the video crew about that, because at the next show, Bob from the video crew gave me a DVD of the Hamburg show. It was only an arbitrary view from a couple of their cameras, and a rough mix off the board, but still - at least it was captured. (And would appear on Anatomy of a Drum Solo, as a 'sidebar.')" - Neil Peart, Roadshow

In a Letter to US Senate, BSA Details Cybersecurity Priorities
15-Jan-2012 | Source : AG-IP News | Visits : 9501
WASHINGTON - In a letter to the 100 members of the US Senate, the Business Software Alliance (BSA) recommended six key focus areas for legislation to comprehensively upgrade America’s cybersecurity capabilities.
“The growing volume and sophistication of cybersecurity threats facing America today demand an effective policy response,” wrote BSA President and CEO Robert Holleyman. “While there are philosophical differences of opinion about what should be included, there is clear bipartisan agreement that cybersecurity legislation deserves consideration in this Congress.”
“BSA strongly supports legislation that will bolster the country’s cybersecurity capabilities by promoting market-driven technology innovation, nimble and adaptive monitoring, and well-oiled coordination between the public and private sectors,” Holleyman wrote. “This will require reforming laws that are mismatched to the challenge of a rapidly evolving threat landscape while avoiding overregulation, which could become both burdensome and ineffective.”
“We believe that Congress should focus on six key legislative priorities, which together would constitute a comprehensive upgrade of America’s cybersecurity capabilities,” Holleyman wrote:
1. Improve the United States Government's own cybersecurity. There is overwhelming agreement that the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) needs to be reformed. The Act was an important step in improving our nation's cybersecurity, but its effectiveness in today's world is questionable. FISMA serves as a reminder that legislation should be written with the understanding that the future is unpredictable and that the cyber landscape will undoubtedly change faster than updated legislation can be passed into law. To that end, FISMA reform should encourage agencies to engage in continuous, real-time monitoring instead of conducting rigid, "check-the-box" exercises. This shift in tactics will make federal IT systems more adaptive and reliable.
2. Promote real-time sharing of cyber threat information. Legislation is needed to promote increased sharing of cyber threat information, including real-time data, among and between private companies and the United States Government. It should eliminate legal barriers that deter private companies from sharing information, while providing incentives to stimulate industry participation in a trusted information-sharing environment. Such incentives should include safeguarding of trade secrets and adequate liability protection. The legislation also should ensure that government shares a greater quantity of actionable information with the private sector.
3. Support cybersecurity research and development. Technological innovation is our best tool against cyber criminals. Comprehensive cyber legislation should contain a robust R&D plan and give researchers more resources to improve the country's cybersecurity capabilities.
4. Sensible data-protection measures and breach-notification rules. Organizations should adopt security measures that are appropriate for the level of sensitivity of the data and information they are holding. Furthermore, if a breach poses significant risk of serious harm, consistent national policies are needed to ensure that customers and consumers are notified in an appropriate manner. Data breach legislation should be carefully crafted to help organizations prevent and respond to security incidents while avoiding costly, burdensome rules that would not provide any real protection to consumers. Such legislation will provide much-needed regulatory relief to companies facing conflicting legal obligations under today's patchwork of state laws.
5. Strengthen law enforcement tools for deterring cyber crimes. Our nation's criminal statutes should be updated to clarify and enhance penalties for those who commit cybercrimes. Moreover, legislation should increase law enforcement resources to combat cybercrime and direct the government to enhance its international engagement efforts related to cyber crime enforcement.
6. Encourage international cooperation. Legislation should direct the US Government to promote adequate cybercrime laws around the world, and it should provide incentives for other countries to cooperate on investigations and prosecutions of crimes that are difficult to pursue because of the borderless nature of cybercrime.
“Cybersecurity has become central to America’s national security and economic wellbeing,” wrote Holleyman. “BSA believes that focusing on these six priorities will be the fastest way to make strategically significant progress against cyber threats that we cannot wait any longer to confront.”

Bristol Folk Festival (3)
Arrived about 12. Clarrie and Tim inform me that I have missed the first spontaneous full on standing ovation of the weekend, for Wildflowers, a trio consisting of three children around the age of thirteen (two fiddles and a guitar). They do a spontaneous set in the bar later in the evening, and they do indeed seem to be astonishing.
I start the day in the upstairs bar where the always reliable Hodmadoddery are applying their inventive guitar stylings to John Barleycorn -- and what better way is there of feeling that it is really spring and you are really at a folkfest then by listening to two men with guitars singing John Barleycorn in a bar? This is followed by an open night. The standard is extremely high, as you'd expect. She has a beautiful voice, but isn't at all confident on the the guitar (says me, who can't play a note). A young girl named Catherine Holt, accompanied by her father on the guitar, looks fantastically nervous, and then delivers a flawless, and quite emotive cover of the Soldier and the Princess.
Tim and Clarrie went off to see the Mummers Play about the life of Brunel. (If you don't know what a Mummers play is, it's part way between Morris Dancing and a pantomime. If you don't know who Brunel was, then, all you need to know is that he came from Bristol. They said it was great.) I stayed in the bar to hear a band called the Bristol Shantymen, because they come from Bristol and sing sea shanties. They were stunning. Not because they sang great tunes, were a decent choir, and had one man with a rather weak voice but who was brilliant at doing the funny lines and the silly long-drawn out yodels, but because they really, really, really, really, cared about the history of sea shanties. They could tell you about particular old sailors who used to sing these songs in pubs in the 60s. They cared about which songs were specific to Bristol and which came from elsewhere. They sang a shanty with the "call" lines in French but the "response" lines in English, because that's how French sailors sung it. They loved their material. It oozed authenticity and love for tradition. This is the kind of thing I'm here for.
Had to take a bet on whether I'd be more likely to enjoy Mabon ("interceltic funk folk") or Pilgrim's Way ("gimmick free folk at it's finest) in the smaller Fred Wedlock stage (named after Bristol's oldest swinger in town.) Naturally went for Pilgrim's Way. They ran though some very adequate versions of traditional songs (Weaver and the Factory Made, Tarry Trousers) before utterly blowing us all away with the songs which gave the band its name. They called it "a great humanist song" but I must admit that during the compulsory "all join in" bit, I sang "The people Lord, thy people are good enough to me" (as opposed to "the people, oh the people"). Because that's what Kipling wrote. What a great poem! It deserves to be far better known than the horrible "If..." And what a stonking tune Peter Bellamy made up for it. I have occasionally thought that a couplet from might stand very well at the top of this very blog:
And when they bore me over-much, I shall not shake my ear
Recalling many thousand such whom I have bored to tears
And if they labour to impress, I shall not laugh or scoff
Since I myself have done no less and sometimes pulled it off
Phil King has a big local following. Lots of people clapped him. I could really take him or leave him. He can play his guitar, no doubt about that, but his voice doesn't excite me, and his songs seem.... Artificial. Inauthentic. It reminds me of that review of Virginia Woolf, where the reviewer wanted to shout "No, she didn't!" after every line of the novel. Apparently, when the singer was stung by a scorpion, it reminded him that Orion, the only constellation he can recognise, died from scorpion wound, and that he feels as if that hunter has somehow watched over him through his life. "No, he doesn't!"
Other people seemed to like him a lot.
Caught the very end of Elfynn in the main hall. They appeared to be rather good.

English translation of al-futuhat al-makkiyya
The Meccan Revelations is considered the most important book in Islamic mysticism. Ibn al-Árabî started working on this book in Mecca in the year 598 AH / 1202 AD; thus from here it takes its name, where he received the immense knowledge that he had broadcasted in this huge book from a spirit he calls the ‘passing young’ (al-fatâ al-fâàt) whom he met at the Kaaba. But it took him around thirty years to finish it in Damascus in the year 629 AH / 1232 AD, and then he rewrote it again between 632/1235 and 636/1239, just two years before he passed away.
The book consists of 560 chapters that vary in length between as short as half a page and as long as several hundreds. Although it is now mostly printed in four condensed volumes, based on Bulaq edition, it is in total contained in 37 volumes according to Ibn al-Árabî's own arrangement, and each volume is normally divided into seven parts which may start or end regardless of chapters; thus some chapters are placed in more than one part or even more than one volume.
Although this volume contains the first chapter of the five hundred and sixty chapters of the Futûħât and a considerable part of the second chapter which is quite long, but we can consider this volume as an introduction to this immense book.

Happy Birthday Jim Henson
@kevinhunsperger & @my123cents
September 24, 2013 marks what would have been the 77th birthday of one of the greatest figures in entertainment, Jim Henson. Sadly, this master of the Muppets died in 1990, taken way too soon. But his legacy lives on in his creations.
My first exposure to the Henson foundation was through Sesame Street. I remember watching the show everyday, enjoying my favorite characters as they taught me more about counting, language, and just being a better person. To me, no character on the show compared to Cookie Monster. He was without a doubt my favorite, maybe it's my love of cookies that drew me to him. As I got older though, I have come to love and appreciate Oscar the Grouch. More often than not, I feel like I relate to him better than any other character on that famous street.
Big Bird was always a favorite too, and after watching the A&E Biography on the show, I have a whole new respect for the Caroll Spinney, the man behind the bird. Bert and Ernie (say what you will about them) also got a laugh out of me. Growing up, I had a Bert and Ernie transistor radio.
The Muppets & Henson
My love of Sesame Street naturally transitioned to the Muppet Show, another Henson creation. We'd watch each week as a different celebrities "hosted" the show which was a kid friendly version of Saturday Night Live. Kermit the Frog, who was voiced by Henson, lead the way for a group of unique friends, including a joke cracking bear named Fozzie, an egotistical oinker named Miss Piggy, and a hooked nose who-knows-what-he-is, named Gonzo. I still have the puppet versions of the Muppets I had growing up.
The show lead to several movies in the 80's and eventually an animated series featuring the Muppets before they were famous. Another Henson project, Fraggle Rock, was another show that I watched religiously.
A Frog & His Boy
by Seb Mesnard
I was in high school when Jim Henson died. We had gotten out early that day in May because of flash flooding. I remember my mom was watching her soap opera when ABC News broke into programming with a special report. I watched the screen in shock as the anchor announced the beloved Henson was gone. I was sad for days following the news. I'm grateful of the times I had as a kid learning and loving ALL of Henson's Muppet creations. From Cookie Monster to Gonzo to Wembley, Henson made my world (and the entire world) a better place.
Happy birthday and rest in peace.

The Power of Nostalgia
By Kevin Hunsperger @kevinhunsperger & @my123cents on Twitter Listen to the podcast Follow my blog with Bloglovin
January 11, 1993-- I remember it well. I was a sophomore in college and ten years into my wrestling fandom. Over Christmas break, I watched the last of the Prime Time Wrestling shows, a program I had enjoyed for about a decade. Now it was time for something new, Monday Night Raw.
It's hard to believe that was 30 years ago. Now, at 49 years old, I am still a fan, but I still need to become more committed to watching each week. Having cut the cable cord years ago, I have only had a few opportunities to watch Raw live. However, I located a feed of the special anniversary show via TikTok.
From the opening segment, featuring the face of 80s wrestling, Hulk Hogan, to the final bell with long-time attraction Brock Lesnar, the show was packed with everything a nostalgic fan like me craves. Ric Flair, DX, Kurt Angle, Undertaker, and others. Memories from the past three decades flooded back. My favorite current storyline featuring The Bloodline provided even more entertainment. I can't wait to see how it all plays out, as I've seen plenty of conflicting theories.
Sometimes fans of the current product frown upon the dusting off of Legends and allowing them to 'humiliate' the existing talent that's there week after week. That was the case with Raw is XXX (30, not pornographic). The Legends were used appropriately and helped give the rub to modern Superstars like Bray Wyatt, Seth Rollins, the Street Profits, and even LA Knight.
Sure the latter was choke slammed by the Undertaker, but I still believe that being in the ring with someone the caliber of the Deadman (or Biker in last night's case) goes a long way. These moments provided feel-good moments for fans (I especially enjoyed it after a not-so-great day).
Even though The Rock, 'Stone Cold,' nor Vince McMahon were there, as many had speculated, I believe Raw is XXX was a great show that flowed well. I'm even more stoked now for Saturday's Royal Rumble and the unpredictability that event will bring.
What are your thoughts? Let me know!

MySpace Lays Off Half Its Workforce
How quickly fortunes change. Overtaken by the leaner and cooler Facebook, MySpace is one of a host of web giants now reduced to hobbling beggars striving for your attention. MySpace will be laying off 500 workers worldwide , or about 47 percent of its Beverly Hills, California workforce. Three years ago, MySpace was a billion-dollar investment for News Corp and media mogul Rupert Murdoch and the crown jewel of Fox Interactive Media. Now it’s a struggling investment that may end up being sold off to AOL or Yahoo for a song after a restructuring from social network to entertainment hub.
“The new organizational structure will enable us to move more nimbly, develop products more quickly and attain more flexibility on the financial side,” said MySpace Chief Executive Mike Jones.
Once upon a time, MySpace was expected to grow into a billion-dollar business, generating profits in excess of $300 million dollars. However, once it was bought up by News Corp, innovation ground to a halt, pressure to turn a profit rose, and MySpace went from a hip young company to just another arm of Rupert Murdoch’s media octopus. Its failure to carve out a place for itself at the corporate table has undoubtedly contributed to its demise; the fact that it can’t keep a CEO for longer than a few years at a time isn’t helping matters.

Infra-Structure: Vincent Van Duysen and FLOS
Words George Upton
At the launch of his two new lighting collections at Salone del Mobile 2016, Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen talks to PORT about working with Italian lighting brand, FLOS
The Belgian architect, Vincent Van Duysen, is a busy man this Salone. Apart from presenting seven different collections at the fair, Van Duysen has recently been appointed as creative director of the Italian furniture and kitchen brands, Molteni&C and Dada. When PORT managed to track him down, it was at the launch of two new lighting collections produced for FLOS – the architectural solution, ‘Infra-Structure’, and the outdoor, free-standing bollard lights, ‘Casting’.
Infra-Structure by Vincent Van Duysen for FLOS
Van Duysen sees his designs for FLOS, a lighting brand founded in 1962 and based in Brescia, near Milan, as being the “jewel” of all of the work he is showing across the Salone this year. Although he describes himself as an architect and not a product designer, when speaking to Van Duysen it becomes clear that the collections for FLOS function as an extension of his architectural practice, developing his pared back, minimal and idiosyncratically Belgian vernacular into these two new lighting systems.
‘Infra-Structure’ was presented at the Frankfurt Light+Building Fair earlier this year in a purpose-built, monolithic booth, designed by Van Duysen to reflect the collection’s Bauhaus heritage, at the FLOS Professional Space on Corso Monforte in Milan, ‘Infra-Structure’ and ‘Casting’ have been brought together in a playful exhibition curated by the designer and artist Ron Gilad. There, PORT spoke to Van Duysen about the new collections, his architectural approach to product design and the vital importance of good lighting.
Van Duysen’s ‘Casting’ series has been designed to be installed outdoors
How did this collaboration with FLOS come about?
I’m very familiar with some of the designers that have worked with FLOS before like Patricia Urquiola. She was very supportive and always said I should design something for them. Then Piero [Gandini, CEO of FLOS] came across my work and said: “Vincent, are you interested? Let’s do something fun, let’s enjoy ourselves”. That’s very much how we both are, not taking things to seriously.
Where did the idea for the design come from?
I came across the idea pretty quickly because when we think about architectural lighting, we think about everything being invisible. This is especially true in Belgium, which is in many ways the base of architectural lighting. We’ve got Kreon, Modular, Delta – all big firms that are very important in this industry, very innovative.
So I came to the conclusion that I’m not going to do something invisible, but reverse the whole situation and create a system that can be applied in rooms where there is no space, without the need for false ceilings – it’s very playful, very honest. Initially, I was inspired in this by Bauhaus. I love Bauhaus because of its honesty and the democratic way of showing everything of the product, of not trying to hide itself, and I think that’s quite evident here.
‘Infra-Structure’ uses FLOS’s innovative magnetic system to allow an endless configuration of spotlights, lamps and ceiling facing strip lights
How did working with FLOS influence the design?
I’m not a lighting expert and the technology from FLOS – the invisible magnet strip that they minimised for the system – is amazing. When I named the product, I had in my mind this idea of engineering, of transport, and how it’s a kind of transport of lighting tubes. The system has a lightness to it and yet this Neo-Industrial look, and also an elegance, which is something FLOS stands for.
How does your architectural practice inform your product design?
People have always said to me that they love the way I integrate the interiors and furniture as part of my architectural language. There was never a moment when I thought I would start designing products, and I still see myself as an architect, not a product designer. It’s about a different approach to a product – I see it in a much broader, architectural context rather than starting on the detail, as many product designers do.
The semi-circular lights from the ‘Casting’ collection are available in oxidised bronze, concrete, cast iron or aluminium
Why is now the right time for you to launch a lighting collection?
I have had opportunities over the years, but it’s about finding the right moment. For me, this year has been very unusual in that I have presented so many projects; as an architect, I prefer one-offs and to do things the right way, with the right people, who I’m feeling connected with. I knew that I wanted to design for FLOS, and to become part of the FLOS family.
What is the importance of lighting in architecture?
Life without light doesn’t exist. Architecture without light doesn’t exist; whether it’s natural light or ambient lighting, it’s an essential element.

Volume 10 :: Hip-Hopera
“I was raised in the hood called what the diff?
Where the.. brothers in the hood be chivalous
So I rest defense on my ligaments
Pistol grip pump on my lap, riskin it
Full, life livin it, never givin it back
Too late for slippin, so slack… up
It’s on my lap, it’s on your lips in traction
A steel dick more clip for pump but
All I’m sayin ain’t no question who the man is
In my city or in this showbiz
I shoot a fool, kill a fool, c’mon, what you say?
(I can kick your ass)
I can take care of all you motherfuckers don’t delay right away
Pistolgrip pump on my lap at all times
Niggaz fuck with other niggaz shit but they don’t fuck with mines!”
To say I totally trust the voracity of the above section would be questionable at best, and that’s after I spent at least ten minutes listening to “Pistolgrip Pump” and cleaning up a previous submission of these lyrics to OHHLA. Why would I even bother? Because I’m feeling like speaking on some obscure slept on West coast hip-hop shit, and Volume 10’s “Hip-Hopera” definitely fits the bill.
Released in 1994 to minimal fanfare and to even tinier record sales, “Hip-Hopera” was short for shelf life and quickly resigned to the bargain bin. In all respects that’s regrettable. It’s arguable that Volume 10 was simply ahead of his time. 10 was a hardcore lyricist with a mixture of on-beat off-beat rhymes, gangsterish tales of woe, lyrical freestyle ambidexterity and progressive musical backdrops. The closest analogy I can think of would be if you mixed Aceyalone with W.C. and then had the result chill all day with the Hieroglyphics crew smoking weed.
A lot of people in the decade and change since have bit on the idea of a “Hip-Hop Opera” but Volume 10 was the first to come with it and arguably set a mold to break – that is if anybody had ever heard it. Suprisingly it wasn’t for lack of trying on the part of his record label, sending out some of the coolest vinyl 12″ records that it was ever my pleasure to spin. For the “Pistolgrip Pump” single they sent doubles that were CLEAR RED, which under the right light made the needle look like it was pulsing over bloody wax. For “Sunbeams” they sent neon bright yellow wax, which really made your decks radiate with an unearthly glow. Thinking about that makes me nostalgic to get back in the game, but I always rocked borrowed equipment and if we’re being entirely honest about it I was a neophyte turntablist at best. I enjoyed it for the love of hip-hop and the soundclash, but you’d never have seen me rocking anything close to a popular nightclub (which in hindsight also means I never had to worry about my crates being stolen or ducking a drink flying at me).
Another regrettable fact about “Hip-Hopera” is that those aforementioned vinyl singles had some great remixes. In fact the funked out bass thumping revision of “Sunbeams” is so much better than the album version here it almost makes me want to rip the CD out and throw it at a wall. Then I think about the fact I’d never be able to find or replace this album again and think better of it. Besides there’s plenty to love here. The Moe Doe produced “Where’s the Sniper?” may be one of the most cinematic tales of inner city blues ever laced on record. Volume 10’s purposeful method of speeding up and slowing down his flow gives the somboer beat extra emphasis, leaving you hanging on every syllable up to the funked out guitar licks of the chorus with it’s eerie chants of “homicide… suicide…” and scratched in “BETTER WATCH YO’ BACK.” The Theodore Stanley and Cut Chemist laced “Sho Is Hype” is one of those ethereal ambient rap beats you’d hear on a prog hip-hop radio show, and V10’s flow is more beat poet than hip-hop – it works for me though. “Knockoutchaskull” sounds like it belongs in the movie “Friday,” while the Baka Boyz produced “Flow Wood” is a posse all-in track with the best of the Cali underground at the time – Ganja K, Jay Soov and RKA.
Perhaps the most emblematic of all these tracks though is the 4:02 long “Harderthanallya’ll” produced by Massive and Fat Jack. Volume 10 lopes along over the flute floops, seemingly coming in and out of a massive hallucinogenic hip-hop haze, but instead of talking about himself he’s giving shouts out to the dead: “This is for my brother, this is for my brother, THIS IS FOR MY BROTHER CAUSE HE WAS HARDER THAN ALLA Y’ALL NIGGAZ!” Volume 10’s world was not self-centered, it was observational. That more than anything else put him way too far ahead of his time in a “you gotta get yours, I gotta get mines” hip-hop era of self-centered materialism (which has only gotten more magnified since). Nevertheless if you feel like some trippy hippie Cali gangsta funk experimental rap shit and happen to stumble upon “Hip-Hopera” in stores, don’t pass up a chance to pick it up – even if it’s not cheap.

Daigo Higa Continues Comeback Climb With UD Over Phoyaem
Daigo Higa Shows Sparks of Hope in UD Over Songsaeng Phoyaem
November 15, 2022 Mike W. Featured Articles
Daigo Higa defeats Songsaeng Phoyaem
Can Daigo Higa Rise to Another World Title Opportunity?
It’s now or never when it comes to the career of Daigo Higa (19-2-1 17 KOs). The ex-WBC world flyweight champ continued his climb to what he hopes is a return to the top with a ten-round decision over Thailand’s Songsaeng Phoyaem (18-2, 12 KOs) at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.
Phoyaem came in riding a three-year, twelve-fight winning streak. However, that was against opponents who were highly suspect. Higa was a big step up in competition. In against what was the best opponent of his career, the Thai was outworked and outclassed as Higa had his way to the tune of 99-91 and 100-90 (twice).
FALL FROM GRACE
But the climb remains an arduous one for Higa. There was a time when he was considered a future force in the lower-weight divisions. Then he failed to make weight for a scheduled title defense against Cristofer Rosales in 2018. From there, things went from bad to worse.
As a result of coming in overweight, he was stripped of the title. Deciding to go along with the bout, a physically depleted Higa was stopped in nine rounds. The Japanese Boxing Commission viewed Higa’s actions as poor sportsmanship and a lack of professionalism. Following that contest, they suspended him for two years, then stipulated that he must compete at Bantamweight upon his return.
CAN HE REGAIN THE MOJO?
He has struggled since, both in and out of the ring. At times, he’s admitted to not being motivated and has contemplated retirement. In the ring, Higa has not displayed the form he showed before the loss to Rosales.
In April 2021, he lost a twelve-round split decision to world-ranked bantamweight Ryosuke Nishida. Next was an eight-round win over former world title challenger Froilan Saludar in July 2022. But even in victory, Higa was put on the canvas. He pulled himself together but struggled against someone who is not an A-level opponent.
As a bantamweight, Higa’s punches do not appear to have the same effect on opponents as at 112. That means he has to work harder. Then you have the psychological aspect. Boxing is more mental than physical. If you are not in a good headspace, you’re defeated before the battle begins.
At 27, time is on his side to figure things out and make one last run. His performance against Phoyaem should boost his confidence. But as it stands right now, it is a big question mark if Higa has what it takes and can return to world championship glory.

HECTOR’S DIARY Bali Advertiser, May 30, 2012
Oh Wow! Things Work!
Two weeks in Phuket can work wonders for you. Especially when it’s raining, on and off, which it is at this time of the year, the reverse (almost exactly) of Bali’s seasons: Phuket is seven degrees 53 minutes North, Bali eight degrees 39 minutes South.
It is wondrous to shelter, street-side, from a sudden monsoon downpour and watch the efficiently engineered and properly cambered road surface deal with the flood of water; and the drains, unclogged by careless refuse, dispose of the resulting rush of runoff. Among other things the Thais comprehend – and moreover seem to care about – is that water flows downhill. It makes you believe, all over again, that if Bali could only put its mind to it, the same felicity would be within our reach.
And it fully refreshes the soul to be somewhere thoroughly tropical and to find that the electricity grid delivers a constant 230V – within the international standard plus or minus 6 percent tolerance – and that in consequence one’s rechargeable electric razor actually fully recharges and, moreover, closely shaves the morning bristles.
There are other things about arriving in Phuket that might amaze (we’ll get to some of those that amuse). These include the airport, which has a car parking, taxi, bus, drop off and pick up system that works. And an arrivals system that does too. Seventeen minutes from stand-up-and-rush-the-plane-exit to kerbside car pick-up was a treat.
And in case the director-general of official excuses should chance to read this, or more likely have it read out to him, since he’d surely have an official excuse for not bothering to directly inform himself about anything much at all, this was not because the airport wasn’t busy.
Magic Spell
Thai script, drawing its origins from (among others) ancient Aramaic and about as intelligible and dating from 1283 when King Ramkhamhaeng the Great formalised it, and the way of writing for some 65 million people, means that the Roman alphabet that the main European and other languages (such as Bahasa Indonesia) use is functionally beyond most Thais.
This leads to understandable confusion, most obvious to the casual passer-by from street-side signage. One little spot we passed often on the first part of our Phuket holiday (in Kata where we stayed at the delightful – and delightfully named – Lae Lay Suites) had a sign outside that proclaimed “No Panking.” A little further on, past a few more interestingly disreputable bars containing small collectives of bored, chattering girls of an evidently willing nature but unknown character, to say nothing of provenance, another sign said “No Paeking.”
Hanky-panky is impolitic and peeking impolite; besides, we were not driving and had no need of parking. We managed thereby to avoid total confusion.
There’s the Rub
Massage, as in Bali, is the ubiquitous offering made to passing tourists. Some of it is legit. A Thai massage, for example – the Thai style of massage, we mean, which we also sampled later in plush comfort at the Twin Palms resort at Surin – is a great way to discover that you actually can, if gently encouraged by your masseuse, just about get your right big toe into your left ear. This feat – no, we’re not just crassly attempting a poor pun – is much the better for being performed with clothes on and without the sometimes dubious benefits of sticky oil.
Others are, or may be, not quite as legit. Phuket’s tourist areas, after all, like Bali’s, are places of sexual resort for male tourists whose brains are defective or damaged, or anatomically misplaced. But even if legit, sometimes the names of massage establishments raise an eyebrow. There was one we spotted, into which the Diary dared not enter, that proclaimed itself to be the Tum Rub Massage.
Not So Petit Dejeuner
It is a Sunday at the exclusive beach club. Guests – regrettably some appear to be rather poor jests – are at play. Or maybe they are at lunch, since it must be at least an hour since they vacated their breakfast table. It’s an eclectic crowd, as befits exclusivity, beaches and clubs, in Phuket as much as in any island playground. Many of its members are French, adding zest and joie de vivre to proceedings and some amusement – not necessarily of the cruel variety – to the day of the watching diarist.
Overheard on this particular day, they seemed to be saying “donc” to each other with implausible frequency. In its conjunctive form, it means “therefore,” and we surmised that they were explaining things to each other, or possibly explaining themselves. One party in particular prompted us to think that France, having just elected a socialist president who offered a series of spectacularly speculative promissory notes, had now convinced itself it is fully insulated from both the global and Euro crises.
Since we had not been introduced and such a social opportunity was unlikely to eventuate, we gave them names: Floppette, Flippette, Crevette and Asperge. As far as we could tell Flippette was with Crevette and Floppette with Asperge. It was interesting that Floppette and Flippette displayed complete disinterest – such sangfroid! – while Crevette and Asperge disported themselves in the hefty little monsoon waves of the Andaman Sea equipped with body boards and fins.
Lest it be felt we are being unnecessarily unkind in singling out persons of the French persuasion, we note that at the same time some jests from Oz were on the beach. Tosser and Wozza were accompanied by their squeezes, Screecher and Mona, or so it seemed. It takes all sorts.
It’s Not Kuta
Or Patong, Phuket’s equivalent; and thank goodness for that. Surin is a quiet little spot – very quiet in the low season – and the better for that beneficence. There’s a surprising variety of good little restaurants (if you like real pizza, you’re certainly in the right place) including some nice locally run beach eateries that, unlike those at Jimbaran, for example, allow you some light to eat by and forbear to incinerate the fish.
We found one particular little place off the beach, a short stroll up a gentle hill from the Twin Palms resort. It’s called CC’s and is accessed by some stairs at a building next to a pharmacy. It’s locally owned – by a surfer-biker-philanthropist-entrepreneur from nearby Kamala – and run by another nice Thai surf fan, known as Jay. There’s a very well stocked bar and the massaman curry was the best we’d had in a long while.
Fortunately we were back in Bali well ahead of the next Ganesha art opening. We always try to get along to these little soirees since gallery manager Luh Resiki is such a dear and John O’Sullivan’s Four Seasons operation generally presents some decent wine.
And on June 7 it will be more of a pleasure than ever, since the artist whose works are going on show is Dutch-born Marijke Lambregtse, who has achieved the impossible dream: she lives half the year in Bali and half in Queensland, Australia. There but for a Lotto win go I, as a superannuated cockatoo might say, if lightly pressed.
Lambregtse began her artistic career in Holland as a dancer, choreographer and teacher and then moved to Australia in 1987, where she lectured in ballet in Melbourne and Brisbane. In the mid-1990s she studied art, painting and design, and her talent won her prizes, exhibitions and commissions.
Her Ganesha exhibition, from June 7-July 30, shows a collection of canvasses representing the broad theme of Lost and Found, from which the exhibition takes its title. These explore two themes: awareness and protection of the environment, and the crucial role woman can play in
bringing positive change by active participation.
Get Along There
Lloyd Perry’s Chillout Lounge at Ubud is making its mark. A recent “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” night raised Rp2.2 million for a very worthwhile charity, the Sacred Childhoods Foundation. Another fund-raising night took place on May 25 and they will be run monthly.
Chillout now also features a live music and art night every Saturday from 7pm. Perry tells us a great Jam band plays and any musicians present are welcome to join in. Twelve took part in one recent event, several of them from Ubud. And if you’re feeling musical but can’t play (the Diary studied piano and the clarinet several eons ago, to no lasting effect; shame it wasn’t the sax, we’d surely have remembered that) then you could try painting to music instead. Watercolours and canvas are available for anyone who wants to have a go.
Marian Carroll, chief spruiker at The Ayana Resort at Jimbaran – home of the famed sunset spot the Rock Bar – is now sporting a longer title. She is now Director of Public Relations & Marketing Communications (Resort & Residences). We do hope that comes with enhanced rummaging rights at the cookie jar.
The resort has just completed a large-scale refurbishment.

'Ted Lasso': Apple Announces Spring Release For Season 3
Apple announced that its smash hit series, Ted Lasso, is coming back for its third season this spring! Ted Lasso kicked off back in 2020 and immediately won the hearts of soccer fans, and really, anyone with a soul. The American coach, played by Jason Sudeikis, has a sweet disposition and became an immediate fan favorite.
Per Variety, during the Television Critics Association’s winter 2023 press tour, there was a panel that featured Ted Lasso co-creator Bill Lawrence and writer/star Brett Goldstein promoting their upcoming comedy series Shrinking. When asked about Ted Lasso during the panel, Lawrence was tight-lipped but said, “I’ve seen cuts, and it’s f—ing amazing.”
People reports that season 3 will introduce two new characters: Girls‘ Becky Ann Baker will portray Ted’s mom, and Jodi Balfour, best known for her role in the Apple TV+ series For All Mankind, will play a venture capitalist. They also report that there will be “new blood” on the AFC Richmond team.
Here is what we know about this new season so far:
No trailer has dropped yet, but an image from the season has!
Time to win the whole f***ing thing.
Here’s your first look at #TedLasso Season 3, coming to Apple TV+ this Spring. pic.twitter.com/a7MvOk00HM
— Apple TV+ (@AppleTVPlus) January 18, 2023
This intense standoff between Nate and Lasso gives us just a taste of what to expect coming up.
We don’t have an exact date of release...
#TedLasso will return for Season 3 this spring. https://t.co/g1SuyvcZ5O
— Rotten Tomatoes (@RottenTomatoes) January 19, 2023
All we know is that it comes out in the spring. Fingers crossed that they mean early spring rather than late spring because we cannot wait!
(SPOILER) Last season, Nate left AFC Richmond in the dust.
Wait wait wait (TED LASSO SPOILERS to follow, mute if desired!) is the prevailing feeling that Ted actually *did* mistreat Nate?? Is that the take? Because I sincerely and seriously disagree, if so.
— Jessica Ellis (@baddestmamajama) October 8, 2021
This was QUITE the cliffhanger. We are excited to see how this pans out. An epic Nate and Ted showdown may occur. Would that be awesome? Or upsetting? We can’t be sure.
Is this the last season?
Its’ worth noting that Apple TV+’s season three announcement did not include the words “final season.” It’s been widely reported that the series was intended to have just three seasons. Brett Goldstein has gone on record saying as much. So you’re saying that there’s a chance it might go on longer? Maybe not; in June, Brett Goldstein, who plays Roy Kent and serves as a writer on Ted Lasso, said that the show’s third season would be its swan song. He told the public that Ted Lasso was always going to be “just three.” You never know, though. As we mentioned before, Ted Lasso is a smash hit. How can they take it away from us like this? Perhaps their time isn’t up just yet.
Regardless, grab the biscuits, because more Ted Lasso is on the horizon.

A comparison of the performance characteristics of large 2 MW and 3 MW wind turbines on existing onshore wind farms
Mehmet Bilgili, Firat Ekinci and Tugce Demirdelen
Abstract; Full Text (2225K) . pages 81-87. DOI: 10.12989/was.2021.32.2.081
The aim of the current study is to compare the performance of large 2 MW and 3 MW wind turbines operating on existing onshore wind farms using Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory and Angular Momentum (AM) theory and illustrate the performance characteristic curves of the turbines as a function of wind speed (U∞). To achieve this, the measurement data obtained from two different Wind Energy Power Plants (WEPPs) located in the Hatay region of Turkey was used. Two different horizontal-axis wind turbines with capacities of 2 MW and 3 MW were selected for evaluation and comparison. The hub-height wind speed (UD), turbine power output (P), atmospheric air temperature (Tatm) and turbine rotational speed (Ω) data were used in the evaluation of the turbine performance characteristics. Curves of turbine power output (P), axial flow induction factor (α), turbine rotational speed (Ω), turbine power coefficient (CP), blade tip speed ratio (λ), thrust force coefficient (CT) and thrust force (T) as a function of U∞ were obtained for the 2 MW and 3 MW wind turbines and these characteristic curves were compared. Results revealed that, for the same wind speed conditions, the higher-capacity wind turbine (3 MW) was operating at higher turbine power coefficient rates, while rotating at lower rotational speed ratios than the lower-capacity wind turbine (2 MW).

Efficient buffeting analysis under non-stationary winds and application to a mountain bridge
Yanwen Su, Guoqing Huang, Ruili Liu and Yongping Zeng
Abstract; Full Text (2122K) . pages 89-104. DOI: 10.12989/was.2021.32.2.089
Non-synoptic winds generated by tornadoes, downbursts or gust fronts exhibit significant non-stationarity and can cause significant wind load effect on flexible structures such as long-span bridges. However, conventional assumptions on stationarity used to evaluate the structural wind-induced vibration are inadequate. In this paper, an efficient frequency domain scheme based on fast CQC method, which can predict non-stationary buffeting random responses of long-span bridges, is presented, and then this approach is applied to evaluate the buffeting response of a long-span suspension bridge located in a complex mountainous wind environment as an example. In this study, the data-driven method based on one available measured wind speed sample is firstly presented to establish non-stationary wind models, including time-varying mean wind speed, time-varying intensity envelope function and uniformly modulated fluctuating spectrum. Then, a linear time-variant (LTV) system based on the proposed scheme can be generally applied to calculate the non-stationary buffeting responses. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed scheme are verified through Monte Carlo time domain simulation implemented in ANSYS platform. Also, the transient effect nature of the bridge responses is further illustrated by comparison of the non-stationary, quasi-stationary and steady-state cases. Finally, buffeting response analysis with traditional stationary treatment (10 min constant mean plus stationary wind fluctuation) is performed to illustrate the importance of the non-stationary characteristics embedded in original wind speed samples.

Wind tunnel study on fluctuating internal pressure of open building induced by tangential flow
Sheng Chen, Peng Huang and Richard G.J. Flay
This paper describes a wind tunnel test on a 1:25 scale model of TTU building with several adjustable openings in order to comprehensively study the characteristics of fluctuating internal pressures, especially the phenomenon of the increase in fluctuating internal pressures induced by tangential flow over building openings and the mechanism causing that. The effects of several factors, such as wind angle, turbulence intensity, opening location, opening size, opening shape and background porosity on the fluctuating internal pressures at oblique wind angles are also described. It has been found that there is a large increase in the fluctuating internal pressures at certain oblique wind angles (typically around 60° to 80°). These fluctuations are greater than those produced by the flow normal to the opening when the turbulence intensity is low. It is demonstrated that the internal pressure resonances induced by the external pressure fluctuations emanating from flapping shear layers on the sidewall downstream of the windward corner are responsible for the increase in the fluctuating internal pressures. Furthermore, the test results show that apart from the opening shape, all the other factors influence the fluctuating internal pressures and the internal pressure resonances at oblique wind angles to varying degrees.

Wind flow modification by a jet roof for mitigation of snow cornice formation
Ganesh Kumar, Ajay Gairola and Aditya Vaid
The snow cornice mass on the formation zone had triggered avalanches which led to the loss of human life and property. Snow cornice is formed due to flow separation on the leeward side. Effect of lee slope is more prominent in the formation of snow cornices as compared to the windward slope. The analysis of wind flow pattern has been carried out to evaluate the performance of a jet roof. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of wind flow over a 2D hill model was carried out using RNG based k-ε turbulence models available in ANSYS Fluent. Effect of varying leeward hill slope (1:2 to 1:6) on flow separation for the given windward slope was observed and a critical slope of 1:4 was found at which the separation zone ceased to exist. The modification of wind flow over a hill due to the installation of jet roof was simulated. It was observed that jet roof had significantly modified the wind flow pattern around hill ridgeline and ultimately snow cornice formation had mitigated. The results of the wind flow pattern were validated with the wind data collected at the experimental site, Banihal Top (Jammu and Kashmir, India). The wind flow simulation over the hill and mitigation of cornice formation by the jet roof has been explained in the present paper.

Estimation of wind pressure coefficients on multi-building configurations using data-driven approach
Shruti Konka, Shanbhag Rahul Govindray, Sabareesh Geetha Rajasekharan and Paturu Neelakanteswara Rao
Wind load acting on a standalone structure is different from that acting on a similar structure which is surrounded by other structures in close proximity. The presence of other structures in the surrounding can change the wind flow regime around the principal structure and thus causing variation in wind loads compared to a standalone case. This variation on wind loads termed as interference effect depends on several factors like terrain category, geometry of the structure, orientation, wind incident angle, interfering distances etc., In the present study, a three building configuration is considered and the mean pressure coefficients on each face of principle building are determined in presence of two interfering buildings. Generally, wind loads on interfering buildings are determined from wind tunnel experiments. Computational fluid dynamic studies are being increasingly used to determine the wind loads recently. Whereas, wind tunnel tests are very expensive, the CFD simulation requires high computational cost and time. In this scenario, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique and Support Vector Regression (SVR) can be explored as alternative tools to study wind loads on structures. The present study uses these data-driven approaches to predict mean pressure coefficients on each face of principle building. Three typical arrangements of three building configuration viz. L shape, V shape and mirror of L shape arrangement are considered with varying interfering distances and wind incidence angles. Mean pressure coefficients (Cp mean) are predicted for 45 degrees wind incidence angle through ANN and SVR. Further, the critical faces of principal building, critical interfering distances and building arrangement which are more prone to wind loads are identified through this study. Among three types of building arrangements considered, a maximum of 3.9 times reduction in Cp mean values are noticed under Case B (V shape) building arrangement with 2.5B interfering distance. Effect of interfering distance and building arrangement on suction pressure on building faces has also been studied. Accordingly, Case C (mirror of L shape) building arrangement at a wind angle of 45° shows less suction pressure. Through this study, it was also observed that the increase of interfering distance may increase the suction pressure for all the cases of building configurations considered.

Field measurement-based wind-induced response analysis of multi-tower building with tuned mass damper
Xin Chen, Zhiqiang Zhang, Aiqun Li, Liang Hu, Xianming Liu, Zhong Fan and Peng Sun
The 246.8-m-tall Beijing Olympic Tower (BOT) is a new landmark in Beijing City, China. Its unique architectural style with five sub-towers and a large tower crown gives rise to complex dynamic characteristics. Thus, it is wind-sensitive, and a double-stage pendulum tuned mass damper (DPTMD) has been installed for vibration mitigation. In this study, a finite-element analysis of the wind-induced responses of the tower based on full-scale measurement results was performed. First, the structure of the BOT and the full-scale measurement are introduced. According to the measured dynamic characteristics of the BOT, such as the natural frequencies, modal shapes, and damping ratios, an accurate finite-element model (FEM) was established and updated. On the basis of wind measurements, as well as wind-tunnel test results, the wind load on the model was calculated. Then, the wind-induced responses of the BOT with the DPTMD were obtained and compared with the measured responses to assess the numerical wind-induced response analysis method. Finally, the wind-induced serviceability of the BOT was evaluated according to the field measurement results for the wind-induced response and was found to be satisfactory for human comfort.

Estimation of the wind speed in Sivas province by using the artificial neural networks
Cahit Gurlek, Mustafa Sahin and Serkan Akkoyun
In this study, the artificial neural network (ANN) method was used for estimating the monthly mean wind speed of Sivas, in the central part of Turkey. Eighteen years of wind speed data obtained from nine measurement stations during the period of 2000-2017 at 10 m height was used for ANN analysis. It was found that mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) ranged from 3.928 to 6.662, mean bias error (MBE) ranged from -0.089 to -0.003, while root mean square error (RMSE) ranged from 0.050 to 0.157 and R2 ranged from 0.86 to 0.966. ANN models provide a good approximation of the wind speed for all measurement stations, however, a tendency to underestimate is also obvious.

Effects of blade configuration and solidity on starting torque of Darrieus wind turbine
Sung-Cheoul Roh and Seung-Hee Kang
This study investigates the effects of blade configuration and solidity of Darrieus wind turbine on the starting torque characteristics. Generally, the configuration of Darrieus wind turbine is divided into Troposkien, parabola, Catenary, Sandia, modified-parabola and straight types. A numerical analysis has been carried out using Multiple Stream Tube (MST) method to investigate the effect of blade configuration and solidity of Darrieus wind turbine on the starting torque under the initial low range of rotational speed. The simulation results show that the starting torque of Darrieus wind turbine varies considerably depending on the blade configuration. The initial starting torque was larger with Troposkien, Parabola, Catenary, and Sandia configurations than with modified parabola or straight types. The increase in solidity with increasing number of blades raised the starting torque and improved the dynamic stability during the initial operational speed of Darrieus wind turbine. Additionally, these torque results represent basic data for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation of the steady-dynamic operation of the turbine.

5 Worst TV Dads Of All Time
Father's Day is right around the corner. It's a day where we get Dad power tools and we mow the lawn for him. We love our Father and we should celebrate him. However, this list is full of guys that are the antithesis of your Dad. These are bad, bad fathers. We may love them as characters, but they're terrible for their children. So in "honor" of the holiday, here is a list of the 5 Worst TV Dads Of All Time:
5) Homer Simpson (The Simpsons)
Father Of: Bart, Lisa, & Maggie
Voiced By: Dan Castellaneta
Why He's A Terrible Father: They were plenty of terrible TV dads who star in FOX cartoons including Peter Griffin (Family Guy) and Stan Smith (American Dad), but not only is Homer Simpson the original, he's probably the worst. He's commits child abuse in every other episode by constantly choking Bart and he's so mentally incompetent that he's just incapable of fostering a nurturing environment for his daughter Lisa. In fact, without Marge around, the Evergreen Terrance house would literally be filled to capacity with garbage, that his kids would realistically be taken away from him. Don't get me wrong, I personally love Homer Simpson as a cartoon character, but I would never, ever, ever want him to be my father.
4) Frank Costanza (Seinfeld)
Father Of: George
Played By: Jerry Stiller
Why He's A Terrible Father: The proof is in the pudding, and the pudding is George Constanza. George has so many problems in his life, problems with holding down either a job or a relationship, that can all be traced back to his father. Just take the holiday Frank made up, Festivus, as examples A-Z. Not only is there a portion of the holiday where you bluntly air out all of your grievances, but you can't do anything until the Feat of Strength is proven- which mainly means Frank wrestling his son to the ground. If you ever want to scar your child emotionally for the rest of his or her life, just read the playbook created by Frank Costanza.
3) George Bluth Sr. (Arrested Development)
Father Of: GOB, Lindsay, Michael, & Buster
Played By: Jeffrey Tambor
Why He's A Terrible Father: George Bluth Sr. is just a terrible human being who is also married to a terrible human being (Lucille), so naturally, he was going to raise the worst kids. George Bluth Sr. is very hands off when it comes to his kids, unless it's enlisting the help of the one-armed man to give his kids trivial life lessons like: stop yelling and always leave a note. George Bluth Sr. is purposefully is aloof towards his children so they go to great lengths to try and earn his affection, which George Bluth Sr. then uses to pit his children against one another. He also uses his children as a scapegoat as a solution to his personal and legal troubles. Oh, and there's that whole being guilty of SEC violations and "light treason" thing.
2) Tywin Lannister (Game of Thrones)
Father Of: Jamie, Cercei, & Tyrion
Played By: Charles Dance
Why He's A Terrible Father: There is nothing Tywin Lannister won't do in order to make sure he's the most powerful man in Westeros, and that includes pimping out his daughter so she's the Beard of a Tyrell so he can have money and his son Tyrion to poor Sansa Stark just so the Lannisters can guarantee control of the North. Tywin's children are his literal pawns on his Westerosi chess board. He overtly despises his youngest son Tyrion and blames him for the death of his wife (she died while giving birth to Tyrion) and will do everything he can to sentence him to death, unless that of course means that keeping him alive can somehow work to his advantage. Tywin constantly preaches family first, which is not only ironic, but doing so forces Jamie and Cercei to actually fall in love with each other and fornicate. The Lannisters are some of the worst people Westeros has ever seen, which that's difficult to accomplish, and that's all because of Tywin.
1) Don Draper (Mad Men)
Father Of: Sally, Bobby, and Gene
Played By: Jon Hamm
Why He's A Terrible Father: His daughter Sally always disliked Don, but catching him having an affair with Slyvia was the last straw. When Sally prefers the Ice Queen Betty to you, you've done something unforgivable. Don constantly lies to his children under the guise of protecting them, but it's really just to protect his own self interest. And Don Draper does whatever he wants to. In Season 1, when Don was supposed to leave Sally's birthday party to get a cake, he instead just drives away leaving his daughter and the entire party behind just because that's what he wants to. If Don Draper wants to drink and watch a movie in the middle of the day, he'll do it, children's well-being be damned. Sure, he spends time with his kids, but only when he has to. And just because he'll spend time with them, doesn't mean he'll do age appropriate things with them. Don is so selfish that he'll do whatever he wants to, which turns bleeds over to his relationship with his kids. Don Draper is a terrible and miserable S.O.B. which also makes him a terrible and miserable father.
OTHERS CONSIDERED:
* Walter White (Breaking Bad): For 95% of the series run, Walt is a great father. He provides money for his family, he has a great relationship with Walt Jr. as their breakfast conversations are ones we'd want to have with our own father, he beats a kid up when that kid makes fun of his son's disability, and he really is a loving dad. Sure, he's a murdering meth kingpin, but he's still a great dad.
* Frank Reynolds (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia): Frank is a terrible person, but so is everyone in It's Always Sunny, even those who aren't Frank's kids are pretty bad in some way. But outside of some pretty sleezy things, Frank will always bail out his kids when they get in trouble and he loves his kids and just wants to spend time with them. Plus, George Bluth Sr. is just like Frank Reynolds, but 100x worse.
* Randy Marsh (South Park): Randy is more stupid than anything. He always does what he can and does what he thinks is right by his boy, but he's an idiot so what he thinks is right and what is actually right mostly aren't the same thing. Randy gets an "A" for effort.
* Raylan Givens (Justified): The show doesn't overtly make Raylan a bad father, but his actions still prove that he is. He has a baby girl who lives in Florida that he never sees and he rarely Skypes to see her. He talks about making plans to see her, but he never does. Raylan is the worst kind of absentee father, and his daughter is only going to know stories about him versus who he actually is as a person.
* Walt Miller (New Girl): Nick Miller's father Walt (played by Dennis Farina) is a con man who cares about his bottom line versus his kids. He constantly uses his children to help with his scams and that in turn made Nick the neurotic mess you see before you.
* Aaron Echolls (Veronica Mars): Years of child abuse is nothing when you drive your son's mother away while sleeping with your son's girlfriend before eventually killing her.
