Eisenberg Einklang
Complex synth with simple controls
For all our kvetching over the years about the constant stream of predictable emulative synthesisers making it to market, we're very happy to be able to say that the road less taken has actually seemed a little crowded of late, with the arrival of interesting and unusual instruments like Humanoid Sound Systems' Enzyme and Madrona Labs' Kaivo. New German developer Eisenberg has joined the unorthodox caravan with its new cross-platform synth, Einklang (VST/AU/RTAS/AAX/standalone).
"The idea is that complex functions can be manipulated using a handful of simple, intuitive and musical parameters"
Einklang is built on the company's proprietary AIST, which stands for Artificial Intelligence Studio Technology. The idea is that complex functions can be manipulated using a handful of simple, intuitive and musical parameters.
Based on spectral models, Einklang's behaviour closely resembles that of an additive resynthesiser - and, indeed, there is additive synthesis at its core, though here the developer has employed its AI algorithms to govern and control the vast number of parameters involved, creating a sort of giant 'macro'.
The interface centres on a trio of 'tone colours', placed at corners of a 'Morph Triangle'. Out of the box, there are 152 tone colours from which to choose, including basics like pulse and sawtooth waves, electric pianos, basses, woodwinds, synthesised sounds and many, many more. Alas, you can't make your own tone colours, though.
Each of these loaded sounds can be tweaked and played individually, but the real power of Einklang comes from its sophisticated morphing function, enabling the three tone colours to be blended by moving the central 'gem' around the Morph Triangle. In practise, it's rather like a cross between a vector pad and an X/Y pad, and the results bear some resemblance to resynthesising instruments like Camel Audio's Alchemy.
Freaky tweaking
Einklang's other synthesis parameters are divided into three sections: Timbre, Loudness and Modulation. There are two Timbre controls - one sets the amount of Dissonance applied, the other controls Harmonicity. Adding Dissonance results in a detuned sound that still retains some semblance of pitch, while reducing Harmonicity brings in inharmonic, noisy elements.
The Loudness section houses familiar Attack and Release envelope controls, plus a Percussion parameter that reduces the sustain level and the length of the Attack and Release envelope stages. Synthesis doesn't get much more basic than this.
Finally, the Modulation section consists of a Portamento function and an LFO. You only get control over the LFO's Intensity and Rate and there's no host sync available. The waveform sounds quite sine wave-like, but in actuality it changes depending on the tone colour in play.
Unfortunately, there's also no means to route the modulation to targets other than pitch and amplitude, which feels like a miss - we wish it were possible to modulate the movement of the gem around the Morph Triangle, for example.
Einklang is easy to use and sounds great. Strange, hybrid timbres are its forté, obviously, and it's brilliant for pads - assuming you don't mind animating them with DAW automation. And therein lies the problem: it's so simplified that it may well turn advanced sound designers off, which would be a shame, because they'd be missing out.
Einklang's ability to produce unique timbres at a very fair price make it a welcome addition to the soft synth landscape.
MusicRadar Rating
Intuitive interface. New and interesting synthesis technique. Good presets with more available.
Can't create tone colours. Parameters are almost too basic. Lacking in the modulation department.
This modelling, morphing synthesiser makes its intriguing new technology easy to use - perhaps too easy, in fact - sounds great and comes in at a very agreeable price.

Meningitis victims face long, uncertain recovery
Saturday - 10/20/2012, 2:38pm EDT
By TAMARA LUSH
Associated Press
OCALA, Fla. (AP) - Vilinda York lies in her Florida hospital bed, facing a dry-erase board that lists in green marker her name, her four doctors and a smiley face.
Also on the board is this: "Anticipated date of discharge: NOT YET DETERMINED."
The 64-year-old contracted fungal meningitis after receiving three tainted steroid shots in her back. She's one of 284 people nationwide who are victims of an outbreak that began when a Massachusetts compounding pharmacy shipped contaminated medication. Twenty-three people have died.
Like many trying to recover, York, who has been hospitalized since Sept. 27, faces a long and uncertain road. Many people have died days or even weeks after being hospitalized. Fungal meningitis _ which is not contagious _ is a tenacious disease that can be treated only with powerful drugs.
"I'm determined I'm going to fight this thing," she said. "The devil is not going to win."
Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist who chairs Vanderbilt University's Department of Preventive Medicine, said the treatment includes intravenous anti-fungal medicines that are tricky to use.
"These are powerful drugs. They're toxic," he said. "You're walking a tightrope because you want to get enough into a patient to have the therapeutic effect while at the same time you're trying not to affect, or to minimize the effect on the liver and kidneys."
Even after leaving the hospital, he said, patients will continue antifungal drugs for weeks or months.
The infectious disease doctor handling York's case did not immediately respond to a phone message.
When York talks about the last six weeks, tears run down her cheeks. She knows the disease is deadly. And if she needed a reminder, it's right there in the headline from a local newspaper on her hospital bed: "Third death reported in Marion County from fungal meningitis."
For York, 2012 started well. The retired clothing shop clerk and widow from Illinois was doing water aerobics three times a week, tending to her flower garden and spending time with church friends. They'd get together at Olive Garden and Red Lobster a couple of times a week and go to church every Sunday.
On Jan. 21, she was on her way to a wedding when she got into a car crash. It wasn't enough to put her in the hospital, but she did suffer back problems.
The pain was strong enough for her to visit a doctor at Marion Pain Clinic, where she received two steroid shots on Aug. 16. A week later, the pain was still there and she began feeling headachy, nauseous and dizzy. She chalked it up to her back and got a third shot Aug. 28.
In the weeks that followed, her health deteriorated. She couldn't lie down without extreme back pain. A friend gave her a recliner to sleep in. The headaches grew severe, sharp pains shooting from all directions into her skull.
"I couldn't walk well, I couldn't see good and I could wipe the sweat off my arms," she said.
On Sept. 27, her legs and arms grew numb. The numbness flowed upwards to her waist. That's when she called 911.
"I didn't know whether I was getting ready for a stroke," she said.
When she arrived at the hospital, doctors took a spinal tap and discovered she had meningitis.
Health officials have noticed that the sickest patients with meningitis are those who either did not catch the symptoms early or who didn't receive appropriate treatment early because doctors didn't know what they were dealing with. The fungi become harder to kill once they have established themselves in a person's body.
"If treatment is given early, it is very effective," said Dr. David Reagan, medical officer for Tennessee, where the outbreak was first detected. "If it is given late, it is not very effective."
Most of the positively identified cases are caused by Exserohilum rostratum (ex-sir-oh-HY-lum ross-TRAH-tum). The fungus is commonly found in the environment, but it has never before been observed as a cause of meningitis.
Because of that, Reagan said, officials have been unable to firmly establish the incubation period and give those who received the tainted injections a date for when they will no longer need to worry about developing meningitis.
"We're saying at least six weeks, or 42 days, but we probably will extend that," he said. "This is new territory. There's no literature to tell us how long."
In York's case, doctors initially thought she had bacterial meningitis, but when she told them about the steroid shots, doctors began to assemble a theory. On Sept. 25, the New England Compounding Center had voluntarily recalled three lots of the steroid methylprednisolone acetate.

This was great- the bus took us out of the city eg Lands End and the Golden Gate Bridge as well as doing some parts of the city. The audio tour of Alcatraz merits it's description as 'the celebrated audio tour'.
Altogether we did 3 Viator tours and every guide was well informed, transfers arrived promptly and each tour contained enough time to see the high points without ever feeling rushed.

Alchemy Systems Awarded U.S. Patent for Interactive Training System
Audience Response System Enables Simultaneous Multi-Group Training
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) March 20, 2013
Alchemy Systems, LP, the global leader in food and workplace safety training, has announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has awarded the company a patent for its "Multimedia Training System and Apparatus." Alchemy filed the patent application in 2010.
The patent specifically covers the Audience Response System for Alchemy´s interactive and hand-held training program SISTEM® (Standard Industry Skills Training and Education Media). The platform is unique because the training and the testing can occur simultaneously in different locations at any time on the same frequency–a capability lacking with other training disciplines. SISTEM enables instructors to determine the level of worker comprehension instantaneously through hand-held remote controls and respond accordingly at any time during the training.
"The award of our patent confirms SISTEM´S uniqueness, innovation and value in enhancing food safety in the workplace," said Jeff Eastman, CEO at Alchemy. "It is also a testament to our interactive capabilities that convey the knowledge and verify worker comprehension essential for compliance with federal and state regulations.
SISTEM and its patent represent a critical advancement in learning and comprehension particularly with its immediate assessment of learners´ responses. "ELearning does not offer this automated type of delivery system and its evaluation capabilities," said Archie Barrett, Alchemy chief technology officer. "We can take large groups of people, equally train all of them, assess their progress immediately and follow-up later to make sure learning is being applied on the job."
Alchemy´s expertise helps customers across the international food chain build an effective food safety culture, with nearly six million courses taken on the SISTEM platform in 2012 alone. Their unique training platform, SISTEM, continues to respond and evolve to meet the newest industry regulations and standards.

Sony posts first loss in more than a decade
$1 billion decline for its fiscal year
TOKYO – Sony reported its first annual net loss in 14 years and forecast a bigger loss this year, saying the pressure from sliding sales, competition in gadget prices and a strong yen was expected to continue.
The Japanese electronics and entertainment company said yesterday that it lost 165 billion yen ($1.72 billion) in the January-March quarter, compared with a 29 billion yen profit for the same period the previous year. That brought its full-fiscal-year loss to 98.9 billion yen ($1 billion).
Sony, which makes Bravia flat-panel TVs and Cyber-shot digital cameras, said it is closing three plants in Japan to help turn its business around. It is also in the midst of cutting 16,000 workers. In San Diego, home to the electronics division's North American headquarters, 340 jobs have been eliminated.
Sony said no quick recovery was in sight, projecting a 120 billion yen ($1.2 billion) loss for the fiscal year through March 2010.
It joins a string of other big Japanese corporations, including Toyota and Hitachi, that have announced huge losses and bleak outlooks.
Also yesterday, Sanyo said it booked a net loss of 93.2 billion yen ($976 million) for the fiscal year, compared with a 28.7 billion yen profit the year before. It expects to turn a small profit of 7 billion yen this year.
Sanyo is being acquired by Panasonic, which is also expected to announce dismal earnings today.
Analysts say Sony Chief Executive Howard Stringer has yet to give details of a turnaround plan, including strategies and products.
Stringer, a Welsh-born American and the first foreigner to head Sony, has promoted four relatively young Japanese executives onto his managerial team. Representing the company's gaming and electronics sectors, they aim to take advantage of Sony's sprawling empire to differentiate it from a host of rivals such as South Korea's Samsung and Taiwan's Acer, which are better at producing cheaper products.
Sony's annual sales slid 12.9 percent to 7.73 trillion yen. Sales fell in all key markets: down 20 percent in the United States, 17 percent in Europe and 14 percent in Japan.
Its fiscal-year loss was a reversal from the 369.4 billion yen profit it had a year earlier.
Still, the loss was smaller than the company's forecast for a 150 billion yen shortfall. The result wasn't as bad partly because TV prices held up better than expected, Sony said. A one-time gain from a change in Japanese tax laws also helped, it said.
Sony continued to lose money in its game segment, where its PlayStation 3 home console and PlayStation Portable have struggled against rival offerings from Nintendo, the Wii and DS, as well as in some markets against the Xbox 360 from Microsoft.
Koya Tabata, analyst with Credit Suisse in Tokyo, said the forecast was in line with what he expected. Sony must in the short run fix its electronics inventory as one step in turning its business around, he said.
"In the longer term, we are all waiting for the PlayStation network business to deliver profits," he said. "But that depends on management."

S. Korea swears in first woman president
SEOUL – Park Geun-Hye was sworn in as South Korea's first female president Monday, vowing zero tolerance with provocation from North Korea and demanding Pyongyang "abandon its nuclear ambitions" immediately.
As leader of Asia's fourth-largest economy, Park, the 61-year-old daughter of a military strongman, faces challenges including slowing growth and soaring welfare costs in one of the world's most rapidly ageing societies.
Taking the oath of office before 70,000 people in front of the National Assembly building in Seoul, Park called on North Korea to "abandon its nuclear ambitions without delay" and rejoin the international community.
The North carried out its third nuclear test earlier this month, triggering global condemnation and the threat of toughened sanctions from the UN Security Council.
"North Korea's recent nuclear test is a challenge to the survival and future of the Korean people, and there should be no mistake that the biggest victim will be none other than North Korea itself," she said.
"I will not tolerate any action that threatens the lives of our people and the security of our nation," Park said, while promising to pursue the trust-building policy with Pyongyang that she had promised in her campaign.
"I will move forward step by step on the basis of credible deterrence," she added.
Observers say her options will be limited by the international outcry over the North's February 12 nuclear test, which has emboldened the hawks in her ruling conservative party who oppose closer engagement.
Monday's two-and-a-half hour inauguration ceremony, held on a chilly and cloudy morning, included a 21-gun salute. As part of the warm-up act before Park arrived, Korean rapper Psy performed his global hit "Gangnam Style".
Park took office a little more than 50 years after her father, South Korea's late dictator and vehement anti-communist Park Chung-Hee, seized power in a military coup.
He went on to rule the country with an iron fist for the next 18 years until his eventual assassination, and remains a divisive figure – credited with dragging the country out of poverty but reviled for his regime's human rights abuses.
The bulk of Park's inauguration speech focused on the economy, and included commitments to job creation, expanded welfare and "economic democratisation" at a time of growing concern with income and wealth disparity.
South Korea's extraordinary economic revival from the rubble of the 1950-53 Korean War – known as the "Miracle on the Han" – has faltered in recent years, with key export markets hit by the global downturn.
Promising "another miracle", Park said her administration would build a new "creative economy" that would move beyond the country's traditional manufacturing base.
"At the very heart of a creative economy lie science and technology and the IT industry, areas that I have earmarked as key priorities," she said.
In a clear warning to the giant, family-run conglomerates, or "chaebols", that dominate the national economy, Park promised a more level playing field and a "fair market" where small and medium-sized businesses could flourish.
"By rooting out various unfair practices and rectifying the misguided habits of the past which have frustrated small business owners… we will provide active support to ensure that everyone can live up to their fullest potential," she said.
Chaebols such as Samsung and Hyundai were the original drivers of the nation's industrialisation and economic growth, but have been criticised as corporate bullies who muscle out smaller firms and smother innovation.
South Korea's journey from war-torn poverty to economic prosperity has done little to break the male stranglehold on political and commercial power in what in many ways remains a very conservative nation.
As South Korea's first female president, Park leads a country that is ranked below the likes of Suriname and the United Arab Emirates in gender equality.

Widespread recession-driven redundancies mean that employers now have a level of choice in filling key positions that they haven't seen in a long while. However, with the fortunes of the UK economy predicted to improve next year, complacency would be ill-advised. HR professionals and managers need to be mindful of the risks of losing their best talent once the smoke clears, and put in place solid strategies for keeping them on board.
Widespread recession-driven redundancies mean that employers now have a level of choice in filling key positions that they haven't seen in a long while. However, with the fortunes of the UK economy predicted to improve next year, complacency would be ill-advised. HR professionals and managers need to be mindful of the risks of losing their best talent once the smoke clears, and put in place solid strategies for keeping them on board.
According to Matthew Parker from HR software developer StepStone, on average, the top 10% of staff make 80% of the difference to an organisation. Staff turnover at this high level once the economy starts to improve could offset some of the gains of a recovery. But understanding who these key people are is harder than it sounds. It's not necessarily the most senior staff that companies should be focused on, rather the real 'keepers' - those people whose departure would cause the most pain.
Parker says that there has been a fundamental change of approach in the use of technology by HR professionals in the past 12 months, explaining that "we're moving to the concept of HR analytics as opposed to HR reporting". "We're seeing a significant increase in companies analysing their workforce to identify the best talent," he adds.
StepStone's web-based software is designed to help improve understanding of issues such as how to recruit for competitive advantage, and how to keep your employees from defecting to your competitors. And after suffering a series of high-level defections from its ranks, internet giant Google recently developed an application to help it predict when staff might be thinking about moving on.
Taking this to its logical - some might say frightening - conclusion, there may come a time where employers could conceivably know when someone might be about to leave before they do. There is certainly little doubt that technology is increasingly informing how companies recruit and retain talent.
And judging by a recent Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) survey, many organisations need all the help they can get. The EIU surveyed almost 500 senior executives from organisations across the globe, reporting that a third (37%) of respondents believe that their organisation's talent management strategy is becoming significantly more important given the current economic climate. However, nearly two-thirds (63%) of respondents said that they don't really know what their talent management strategy is.
"Every single annual report has a statement about the importance of hiring and retention, but there's very little backing that up." says StepStone's Parker. That may be about to change, with nearly half (47%) of respondents to the EIU survey reporting that their organisation will improve training and development in the next 12 months to retain employees.
Naturally the current economic crisis is placing pressure, especially on public companies, to curb employee bonuses and other benefits.
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) recently released new guidelines designed to temper executive bonuses, especially in the City. However, there is little evidence of many companies taking heed. Law firm Pinsent Masons LLP recently surveyed around 200 businesses in the city, reporting that almost 80% felt that the new FSA guidelines were not relevant to them.
Even though the labour market is awash with qualified professionals, many companies maintain that there's still a dearth of really good candidates, and that they still need to offer the most generous inducements to get them. More than half the respondents to the EUI survey cited difficulties in finding good candidates, despite the fact that most employers are seeing higher numbers of applications for positions and, in many cases, a higher proportion of 'over-qualified' candidates. StepStone's Parker says since October last year, applications to the UK public sector have increased by around 50%.
"The problem clients have is that the market is awash with candidates, yet the type of people most companies are looking for is still very rare," says Roger Philby, director and founder of recruitment consultancy Chemistry.
When it comes to retention, companies have to strike a difficult balance at the moment. Naturally they want to hold on to their best staff, but they need to do so without placing - or appearing to place - undue pressure on the balance sheet. Indeed, around 75% of respondents to the Pinsent Masons survey said that they have taken measures to simultaneously reduce costs while retaining staff.
Keeping a lid on bonuses is one way of controlling costs, but employers are loathe to meddle with existing bonus structures, lest they be charged with breach of contract. Yet, according to Pinsent Masons partner Tom Flanagan, they should still be trying to think outside the box. He says companies are now increasingly undertaking risk analysis to determine the tipping points with regard to staff disagreements.
Flanagan explains, for instance, that most employees would be reluctant to either leave or rock the boat with legal action in response to minor adjustments to their bonus or other incentive schemes. "We're advocating more inventive thinking, so that you can retain staff but not later have to play catch-up once the turn around begins," he says.
Some safe and simple options include rolling over employee bonuses into the following financial year. And while not as important a concern as they used to be, company cars are expected to make a comeback when market conditions improve. According to Nigel Trotman, fleet manager for Lex Autolease (formerly Lloyds TSB Autolease), an improvement in market conditions could well see a pick-up in corporate fleet activity as companies compete for top performers.
Employers must also be mindful of environmental concerns in relation to recruitment and retention, especially with regard to Generation Y employees for whom corporate social responsibility is a high priority. "Many younger managers expect an environmental aspect to their car policy," says Trotman.
Other retention options include offering staff reduced working weeks for the same pay. Some firms have even experimented with sending workers on sabbaticals, both to keep them happy, and potentially to acquire new skills.
Chemistry's Philby says that in most instances, the best talent within a given organisation is unlikely to make a decision to stay or leave based on money. "Talented people don't stay for more money - they stay to broaden their portfolio of skills," he argues.
Madalyn Brooks, HR director at product manufacturer Proctor & Gamble, says that training and development are often among the first things to suffer when times get tough, but that forward-looking organisations understand the importance of remaining focused on the task.
"In tough times, it is all too easy to concentrate only on the business and forget about your people" she says. "We have always been focused on the long-term growth of our employees, but now more than ever it is important to invest in the personal development of staff."
Wendy Mansell, HR director for UK & Ireland at Amazon, agrees. She is focusing on retaining staff by keeping them engaged and loyal to the business in the long-term so that when the economic upturn comes, they are less likely to leave for rival businesses.
"We have not changed the HR strategy, but we are focused even more on retaining talent. We need to ensure when the market improves, people still want to stay with us," she says.

The Pink Panther, © United Artists CorporationBritish comedy film, released in 1963, that was the first and arguably the best entry in the Pink Panther film series.
Bumbling French detective Jacques Clouseau (played by Peter Sellers) is assigned to prevent the notorious villain Phantom (David Niven) from stealing a world-famous jewel known as the Pink Panther, which belongs to a princess (Claudia Cardinale) who is on holiday at an Alpine resort. The film evokes a bygone era in which screen heroes were seemingly always dressed in tuxedos and able to produce a clever witticism or seductive line for every occasion. Though the film was a comedy, Sellers's Clouseau was not yet the over-the-top character he would later become.
© 1963 Mirisch G-E Productions and United Artists CorporationFans familiar only with the subsequent entries in the Panther series may find this initial film relatively slow moving when compared with the slapstick farces that followed. However, the Inspector Clouseau character was never intended to inspire a series, and many critics have concluded that the sophistication of this film was never equaled in the sequels. Henry Mancini's famous jazz theme song and the pink animated cartoon panther that opens and closes the movie are integral parts of cinematic history. The Pink Pather was directed by Blake Edwards, who helmed subsequent installments. The series was later revived with Steve Martin portraying Clouseau.

Using yearly state-level data drawn from a variety of different sources and a pooled cross-sectional time-series research design, we examine whether conjugal visitation attenuates sexual violence in prison. The determination of whether sexual violence in prison is less apt to transpire in states that allow conjugal visitation is theoretically relevant. Feminist theory argues that conjugal visitation has little if any influence on the occurrence of rape and other sexual offenses in prison, notwithstanding the gender of the offender and victim, because such offenses are crimes of power that are employed by the offender as an instrument to dominate and humiliate the victim. On the other hand, sexual gratification theory postulates that conjugal visitation provides inmates with a means of sexual release. Therefore, conjugal visitation should reduce sexual offending in prison. Results support sexual gratification theory by showing that states permitting conjugal visitation have significantly fewer instances of reported rape and other sexual offenses in their prisons. The policy implications of these findings are discussed.
