Lets try this over here.
@ldurrant Wow this is so pretty. And the music is lovely too!
@ldurrant this is absolutely lovely! Is this a work in progress? When will it be released?
@le_ArthurDent Glad to hear it! Still very much a WIP — currently roadmapped to be playable before 2021.
@ldurrant I am absolutely looking forward to it!
@ldurrant this is super gorgeous! Are you making this on your own or do you have a team?
@vincentsautter Thanks! This is a solo project of mine.
@vincentsautter Voices are definitely something I'll need to look outward for in the long run - I'll be sure to keep you in mind.
When we first are taught to drive, the emphasis is on obeying the rules of the road, parking, hill starts and other fairly mundane driving duties. But what happens if the car you are driving suffers an unexpected tire failure at highway speeds, an animal runs out in front of your over confident child when they have had their license for just 3 weeks, or you hit a patch of spilled diesel, mud or ice on the road?
The advanced driver training with Harper Sports Cars offers real value by teaching you how to drive your car on the limit, when it’s sliding around and barely in control. Very few people ever are able to experience their vehicles in this situation, so when they encounter an emergency situation, they are not ready for what happens next and often freeze up or use exaggerated inputs to deal with the situation. ABS is great, but it can’t save you in every situation.
We start all our courses on gravel roads, in cars we provide and on routes that test your ability to remain in control of the vehicle while trying to cover the route as quickly as possible. It’s educational and great fun. It’s essential for newly licensed drivers, great as team building or as a fabulous gift. Should you wish to go big, we will set you up with a qualified instructor at a local race Track, taking you to the next level- flat out on dry tarmac.
Please book your driver training experience with us now! Singles and groups welcome. Pure education blended with a fun competitive approach guaranteed.

As a limited company or umbrella company contractor, being able to negotiate effectively on the contracts that you accept is an essential skill. The name of the game is obvious, you are trying to get the highest possible pay rate for the skill set that you have on offer. The challenge of course is being able to sell yourself and secure contracts at competitive pay rates.
In general, contractors tend to see higher pay rates than that of permanent staff, much of which is due to contractors being able to negotiate their pay rates as they generally have a specific set of skills that the company is in need of utilising. Therefore, as an umbrella company or limited company contractor, it's always worth your while to polish up on your negotiation skills. In this article, PayStream provide you with our top 5 tips into the art of contract negotiation.
Your contract rate can dramatically vary depending not only on your skill set, but also on the industry you are operating in. Industries such as IT and Oil & Gas have experienced a successful boom in recent months giving contractors within these industries the ability to demand much higher pay rates.
If you have a niche skill set that clients are struggling to source you will find yourself with strong bargaining power, so don't be afraid to use it. Make your potential employer aware that you would be willing to walk away should you not be offered a competitive level of pay. You should always go into the negotiation with high expectations and be willing to compromise, but remember to never undersell yourself.
At the same time it is important to ensure you remain fair with your contract rates, if you overprice and under deliver, you could cause a lot of harm to your reputation and long term success.
In order to negotiate effectively, it is essential to be aware of current industry pay rates for your job title and skills set. If not you could fall victim to consultant pay rate estimations which could result in you earning less than you're worth.
It is important to remember that pay rates change over time and can vary depending on region so it is important to keep up to date.
One of the best ways to seek industry averages is by asking other contractors operating in the same field as you, giving you an industry average benchmark.
Utilise seminars, training days and online training programs to your advantage so that you continually add value to your skills set. Not only does this improve your ability to do your job better than other contractors but, when pitching to potential clients, you're enhanced skills set and industry knowledge will give you greater leeway to negotiate higher pay rates.
When first starting out as a limited company or umbrella company contractor it can be easy to slip into the routine of accepting every contract you get offered, be it big or small, in order to maximise your overall take home pay.
However, this may not always be the best solution for the long term. Working for well known, larger companies with bigger budgets can not only boost your professional image but could also lead to longer term contracts, which would give greater financial security and more take home pay in the long term.
Remember, if you have strong bargaining power, then use your negotiation skills to demand higher pay rates.
When negotiating pay rates it can be easy for contractors to set a standard pay rate and stick to it for numerous contracts. This is especially true when a contractor finds themselves taking on a new contract with the same company. However, it is important to remember that each contract should be reviewed in isolation and if the contract requires the use of a different skill set then the pay rate should also be revisited along with the new contract terms.
Therefore, when negotiating get a rough estimate to the time, level of work and the skills set needed for each contract and individually quote for your client.
Remember following these simple but golden rules could result in higher take home pay. Always aim high for pay rates and be willing to comprise if the contract is valuable to you. Always ensure that you are in a strong position if you are considering walking away should the pay rates not meet your expectations. Finally, don't hesitate when it comes to negotiating your contract renewals and remember to use your skills set and up to date industry knowledge as leverage.
In modern studio design, absorbers are used to suppress unwanted frequencies and room modes. With the concepts below, certain frequency regions can be focused to treat problems individually. The design operates with the resonances of the air inside an airtight box. The idea was already published 150 years ago by the german physician Hermann von Helmholtz. Unlike Helmholtz who used solid cavities, we are making use of wooden boxes to apply damping and energy losses to obtain a controlled resonance behavior.
A classical Helmholtz-resonator used as an acoustic energy absorber. It has no damping material inside at all and only makes use of the flow resistance of the moving air in the small hole at it's front side. HHR's are very effective, but not easy to build, because they have a small bandwidth as well as a very steep absorption curve and will therefore have to be tuned very carefully. Also should be noticed, that the HHR acts with a kind of counter noise, which means there is also noise emission, especially after the release of the sound. This might create unwanted side effects.
A new concept based on a modified Helmholtz-Resonator is presented here. It has some damping material inside and works with the resistance of the air in both the hole of the enclosure and the damping material. The absorption curve is flattened in comparison to the HHRs leading to a higher bandwidth. Also the negative sound during the release phase is significantly lowered. This type of diffusor is easier to build although less effective. Therefore more diffusor elements might be necessary. Anyway more than one element working at slightly different frequencies are useful.
Another concept uses a wide open window and a light membrane covering the opening of the case which encloses a defined amount of air. It works with the flow resistance of the damping material only. The absorption curve has a medium steepness and might be flattened with more damping material. Heavy membranes lead to very low frequencies, so this concept seems appropriate for bass absorption.
A design with dedicated absorption material and front diaphragm at the front plate.
Optimized sound absorbers can be created by resonating modules to obtain an appropriate sound absorption in studios.
It’s so refreshing to see some great theatre being produced, though calling Little Ones stage adaption of the work by Christos Tsiolkas “great” seems almost reductive. It’s impossible not to be simultaneously blown away yet also drawn inwardly into this performance. Each of the spiralling narratives builds to an unsettling end, as all of the sexual tension explodes and enigmatic energy comes simmering to the surface.
This is the gritty underside of Australia, the kind of places, people and situations that are brought down and into disrepute by our main stream contemporaries and media outlets. It takes no prisoners and it’s bleak bordering on the dystopian. This sense achieved not by painting the big picture but instead tapping into the psychological landscape that lies just below.
The ensemble give in to their respective characters, the over lapping and playing of multiple roles by a single performer is at times a confusing, but deliberate choice. Many times over, you experience just drifting away and becoming lost in many of the heavy passages of text and about this, there is something meditative. Other times, you are brought back into the moment so viscously that you are reduced to tears. The subject matter is unflinching, a terminally ill man who has given consent for his wife and children to administer a lethal dose or the bombing of a gay sauna and rampant sexual exploitation just some of the many themes.
The eye to detail that has been applied to this production by each creator is evident and the picture they manage to paint proves a sumptuous backdrop. The stage forms a sharp and abrupt shape that teeters out from a rich red velvet curtain, the audience flanked on two sides, everything here has been edited down to a distinct colour pallet of blue orange yellow and red. The lighting design is second to none, it’s subtle and its refinement gives further depth to an already layered work.
Nothing can prepare you for this level of awesomeness, it is the very best independently produced locally made theatre we have seen this so far year. Not for the faint hearted or easily offended, this work is important and will be spoken of for sometime to come. An easy prediction to clean up at next year Green Room Awards, Merciless Gods is now playing at Northcote Town Hall.

What are travellers saying about Pisa?
Pisa is a smaller must see town in Italy, with its iconic leaning tower, you just can’t explore Tuscany without a stop here! Great authentic food for an affordable price- once you venture down a side street off the main drag of course. And what’s a visit to Pisa without the typical posed photo holding up the tower!
Who hasn't heard of historic Pisa? The quadrangle contains not only the Leaning Tower abut also the Cathedral and the Baptistry - all very interesting buildings to visit and, if you're feeling energetic, you can climb up to the top of the Leaning Tower. Pisa is also a university town with the River Arno running through the centre and the birthplace of Puccini - so the City itself is also full of history.
I took a day trip to Pisa from Florence by train to see the leaning tower of Pisa. Spent half the day walking around Pisa before coming back by train.
There's really not much to see in Pisa besides the tower, but for that quintessential European summer stop, you need to go. Just avoid midsummer weekend afternoons if possible. Because we didn't, and it was nuts.

Born in London in 1934, Anthony Gilbert took up composition seriously in the early 1960s after five years of study with Alexander Goehr. For ten years he was closely involved in the promotion and publication of new music in London and then moved to the North West of England, first as Granada Arts Fellow at the University of Lancaster and then to establish a new composition department at the Royal Northern College of Music, where he was Director of Composition Studies until his retirement in 1999. He has a close association with the musical life of Australia. Much of his later music owes its origin to the birdsong of this land and much, too, has its technical roots in the classical music of the Indian subcontinent, in which he has been interested for three decades.
His compositions cover a wide range of forces and forms. He has written for most of the major ensembles and soloists, including the Arditti Quartet, London Sinfonietta, Manchester Camerata, Hallé Orchestra and Lindsay Quartet, and received major commissions from the BBC and from the Cheltenham Festival and Staatstheater Kassel, to mention just a few.

The tale as old as time is getting retold with a modern twist. While you've likely already watched the previous teasers dozens of times, Disney debuted the final Beauty And The Beast trailer during Monday night's episode of The Bachelor and it's the ultimate dose of nostalgia. Not only do you get to see several of the movie's minor characters ranging from Lumière to Gaston, but it's also your first chance to hear Ariana Grande and John Legend's "Beauty And The Beast" song. And considering the track brings together two major talents, it's as enchanting as you'd expect. Seriously, you'll want to hear the full song ASAP.
Soundtrack aside, this trailer perfectly ties together elements of the 1991 animated film. Emma Watson's Belle is seen wearing her classic blue-and-white dress and reading. And then, the drama shifts to the more intense side, as she tries to fight off wolves. I must say, seeing snippets of the live-action version is definitely more emotional than just watching cartoons on screen. While I saw the original version countless times as a kid, this trailer is so captivating that I can't wait to watch the plot unfold all over again. It's especially touching to see Belle trying to help the Beast recover and sip soup after he rescues her from those wolves.
You can watch the final trailer — and arguably the best one — below. Oh, and be sure to keep your ears open for the Grande and Legend track.
If you weren't already super excited for this movie, I'm guessing this helped push you over the edge. You can officially start your countdown to March 17 now.
The next step in the progression toward full blown deflation is emerging. Psychologists who treat the neurotic upper middle class are reporting widespread fee reductions in an attempt to maintain a client base. Even corporate lawyers whose own mothers are afraid to call them lest they be billed for the hours are shifting to offering clients discounted flat fee plans. Their mothers still get billed.
The consumer price index has shown the first year to year decline since 1955 but prices can move up and down and not actually reflect inflation or deflation. The actual cost of things depends on real world events like the availability of oil. Of course the price of oil has everything to do with market manipulation and the criminality of that is another issue. Cut backs in things like eating out or not buying a new BMW creates job cuts but not deflation. But once people start cutting wages and especially service fees you can see that deflation is setting in.
True inflation or deflation has to do with the management of money supply. To much debt creation is what causes inflation. When huge, unrealistic debt loads can no longer be maintained the money supply gets out of control and starts to collapse. This is deflation and is what defines a Great Depression. Deflation causes the collapse of the entire debt load since the reduction in cash flow makes paying interest and principle impossible. The cash flow crisis then spreads throughout the system dragging down people and businesses who aren’t in debt as well.
So you see, lawyers are like the canary in the coal mine or the shark in the fish tank (well you get the idea). Money needs to be injected into the system from the bottom, not the top. It has to be used to create an actual economy and not just more paper on a bank balance sheet. If enough lawyers can’t make the payments on their Mercedes we might get some action.
