Delayed vibrato and burble circuit in which a single gate between a free running modulating signal oscillator and a master voltage controlled oscillator selectively controls both functions in response to control signals from a keyboard which are processed by parallel time constant circuits.
1. In combination in an electronic musical instrument:
a plurality of selectively actuable control elements for controlling the sounding of musical notes;
detector means for detecting a selected condition of said control elements to produce a control signal;
means for producing musical tone signals including at least one voltage controlled oscillator;
oscillator means for producing electrical signals for modulating said voltage controlled oscillator;
a single gate circuit for controlling the application of said modulating electrical signals to said voltage controlled oscillator; and
time constant circuit means coupled to said gate circuit and said detector means comprising a first time constant means responsive to said control signal to operate said gate only during an initial time interval to produce a musical effect called burble, a second time constant means responsive to said control signal to operate said gate only after a preselected time interval to produce a musical effect called delayed vibrato, and means for selecting one of said time constant circuits to be operative during any particular time interval.
2. The combination as claimed in claim 1, wherein said detector means produces said control signal whenever any of said control elements is actuated; said oscillator means is a free running oscillator; and said single gate circuit is coupled between said free running oscillator and said voltage controlled oscillator.
3. The combination as claimed in claim 2, wherein said single gate circuit comprises a transistor gate connected in shunt between the output of said free running oscillator and a gate bias circuit for biasing said transistor gate in a normally off condition ground; and said time constant circuit means further comprises:
a differentiating circuit for producing an output pulse in response to each new control signal; and
a differential transistor driving circuit for producing a negative-going signal on a first output lead and a positive-going signal on a second output lead in response to each said output pulse;
said first time constant means comprising a bias circuit effective to overcome said gate bias circuit and turn on said transistor gate to shunt said modulating electrical signal to ground, and a first time constant circuit responsive to one of said positive-going and negative-going signals to overcome said first bias circuit and turn off said transistor gate for a short interval to permit said modulating electrical signal to pass;
said second time constant circuit means comprising a second time constant circuit responsive to the other of said positive-going and negative-going signals to overcome said second bias circuit and turn on said transistor gate for a short interval to shunt said modulating electrical signal to ground;
said selector means comprising a first switching circuit selectively operative to interrupt the output of said first time constant circuit means and a second switching circuit selectively operative to interrupt the output of said second time constant circuit means whereby (1) when said switching circuits are both operated, said transistor gate is off and the musical effect is continuous vibrato; (2) when said switching circuits are both unoperated, the effects of the first and second time constant circuits cancel and the musical effect is no vibrato; (3) when only the first switching circuit is operated, the musical effect is delayed vibrato; and (4) when only the second switching circuit is operated, the musical effect is burble.
4. The combination as claimed in claim 3, wherein each of said first and second switching circuits comprises a transistor gate coupled between the respective outputs of said first and second time constant means and ground, and a bias circuit including a switch for controlling the operation of said transistor gate.
This application is a continuation-in-part of my earlier pending application Ser. No. 447,905, filed Mar. 4, 1974, entitled "A Monophonic Electronic Musical Instrument", now U.S. Pat. No. 3,898,905.
This invention relates to electronic musical instruments and more particularly to delayed vibrato and burble circuits therefor. Delayed vibrato is defined as an initial delay in the frequency modulation of the tone signal after key actuation to simulate the performance of a string instrument. Burble is defined as an initial frequency modulation of the tone signal for only a short time after key actuation to simulate a wind instrument.
Prior art delayed vibrato and burble circuits typically involve separate oscillators, gates, and time constant circuits for each function. It is well known to employ a free running vibrato oscillator and a gate circuit which couples the oscillator output to a voltage controlled master oscillator or group of master oscillators. The gate circuit may be a shunt gate or a series gate.
This invention provides an advantageous combined delayed vibrato and burble circuit which requires only one modulating oscillator and one gate circuit. The circuitry is equally adaptable to electronic organs, monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers, and non-keyboard type electronic musical instruments.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of this invention.
FIG. 2 is a detailed circuit schematic of a preferred embodiment of this invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, a musical instrument keyboard 10 is coupled to a keydown detector 20 which produces an output control signal during the interval that any key in keyboard 10 is actuated. The control signal from keydown detector 20 is processed by a delayed vibrato/burble time constant circuit 40 which is coupled to delayed vibrato/burble gate 50. A vibrato/burble oscillator 30 produces A.C. output signal which, when coupled through gate 50, modulates a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) 60. The modulated output of VCO 60 either drives a top octave tone generator arrangement as in the above-referenced co-pending Schreier application or it comprises the primary tone signal of a monophonic synthesizer of the keyboard tuned VCO type.
Referring to FIG. 2, transistor T23 with its related circuitry comprises delayed vibrato/burble gate 50.
Transistor T23 stays off continuously when neither delayed vibrato nor burble are desired. To obtain delayed vibrato, transistor T23 is turned on for a short time following each new keydown signal; and to obtain burble, transistor T23 is turned on after a short period of being off. Switches S8 and S9 individually control the delayed vibrato and burble circuit functions, respectively, and together control whether normal vibrato is on or off.
To obtain delayed vibrato, switch S8 is open and S9 closed. With switch S9 closed transistor T21 is on; and as a result, transistor T23 will be biased to an off condition through forward biased diodes D19 and the emitter-collector circuit of transistor T21 unless a negative signal is coupled into its base through resistor R81 to turn transistor T23 on. A negative-going keydown signal on lead 81 is differentiated by capacitor C11 and resistor R66 to produce a negative-going signal spike which momentarily turns on transistor T19, causing the potential on its emitter to drop from zero volts to around -7 volts. Capacitor C14 is rapidly charged through diode D17; and as transistor T19 turns off, capacitor C14 discharges through resistors R79 and R80. The negative voltage across capacitor C14 is coupled to the base of transistor T23 through resistor R81 to turn transistor T23 on. This shunts out the vibrato signal to ground, until the voltage on capacitor C14 rises to the point that transistor T23 turns off. Then the vibrato signal comes on gradually as transistor T23 turns off gradually. With switch S8 open, transistor T22 is off, and the negative signal on capacitor C14 does not get shunted to ground.
To obtain burble, switch S8 is closed and switch S9 is open. With switch S8 closed, transistor T22 is on to ground out the negative voltage otherwise developed on capacitor C14 by the keydown signal. With switch S9 open, transistor T21 is off, and thus the bias path from -V2 potential through resistor R73 and diodes D19 to the base of transistor T23, tends to turn transistor T23 on to shunt out the vibrato signal. However, when a keydown signal occurs, and transistor T19 is momentarily turned on, a positive-going signal on the collector of transistor T19 is differentiated by capacitor C12 and resistor R70 to a positive signal spike which turns on transistor T20 to produce a positive spike signal on its emitter. This positive pulse is coupled through diodes D18 to charge capacitor C13, to back bias diodes D19, and thus to turn off transistor T23. With transistor T23 off, the vibrato signal is not shunted to ground and reaches control lead 251. However, when the positive pulse which charged capacitor C13 disappears, capacitor C13 starts to discharge through resistor R73. As a result, after a short time, diodes D19 become forward biased, and transistor T23 starts to turn on to gradually shunt out more and more, and finally all, of the vibrato signal. In the delayed vibrato mode, with switch S9 closed and transistor T21 on, the positive signal on the emitter of transistor T20 is shunted to ground through transistor T21 and does not affect the delayed vibrato circuit.
To turn off the vibrato altogether, switches S8 and S9 are both open. Under such a condition, the bias path from -V2 through resistor R73 and diodes D19 is effective to turn transistor T23 on. When a keydown signal occurs, both the burble and delayed vibrato circuits function, but the effects cancel. The positive pulse charging capacitor C13 is more than offset by the negative pulse charging capacitor C14; and consequently transistor T23 stays on and continues to ground out the vibrato signal.
Preferably, vibrato/burble oscillator 30 is of the type shown in FIG. 7 of the above-referenced, allowed Schreier application so that the amplitude and frequency of the output of the oscillator can be controlled separately for the two modes. Typical component values for the circuitry of FIG. 2 are also given in the above-referenced Schreier application, and these component values are specifically incorporated herein by reference. It should, however, be understood that the above descriptions or preferred embodiments of this invention are given by way of example only and numerous modifications could be made therein without departing from the scope of the claims set forth below.

'TWAS THE NIGHT SHE FOUND HER MATCH 'Twas a quiet summer's eve, while pacing the house. She switched on her computer and grabbed her tiny mouse. She logged onto Match while snuggled in her chair. In hopes that the guy of her dreams would be there. "I want a guy", she said, "whose looks will impress. He'll be easy going and have very little stress. He'll have it together, a good job and good home. He'll like sports, and will take me on in a game of our own." "He'll like to travel, in the states and overseas. His finances are in order and he can budget with ease. He'll play on the water, on the beach and under the sun. and he'll play in the snow on the ice just for some fun." While browsing on Match there arose such a clatter Her doubts of finding a man, soon would shatter. She sat up in her chair and with amazing speed, She clicked open his profile and then started to read. She waited and waited for the page to refresh It all came together and then started to mesh. When, what to her wondering eyes should appear. But this guy from Savage and she started to cheer. She started to read, then she started to cry. She knew in a moment he must be the guy. She could tell right away he stood out from the crowd. She read and she read. Read his traits out aloud. He's smart! Easy going! Secure! And there in a clutch! He travels! Likes sports! Likes beaches, live music and such! That's quite enough. Quite enough from his wall Now I say! Now I say! He rises above all! "But...am I right for him?" She thought with a smile. "I have a lot to offer. More than anyone by a mile. I have it together. I'm happy and stable. I have a career I am proud of and financially able." "I am honest and dependable. I say what I mean. I think I am pretty, in shape and I'm lean. I like a challenge. I laugh and I play. I look for the bright side of things, a silver lining you might say." So she sprang from her chair, as it was getting very late. Hoping for the chance to have that first date. And out she did cry as she sent him a wink. "I want to meet this guy, there's a lot more to him I think!" P.S. Whew! You made it to the end!! Thanks. I hope you liked it and I piqued your interest (yes, it's an original). Please send a wink or even better an email and let's chat. Or challenge me in Trivia Crack. I'll keep an eye out for you. Cheers!

This time around, committee members-officially called experts-chastised the Holy See for its opposition to abortion during its review of the Holy See\'s report on compliance with the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Convention against Torture, CAT). Committee members stated that pro-life opposition to abortion results in torture for women. Abortion, an act that results in the often painful death of a child in the womb and which can inflict lasting negative emotional, physical and psychological consequences on the woman, is real torture but the experts chose to ignore these facts, focusing instead on the Catholic Church\'s respect for the right to life and opposition to abortion.

WASHINGTON,DC (P.N.C.I.)- The latest example of a U.N. treaty monitoring body distorting a treaty to advance abortion is the Committee on the Convention Against Torture (CAT) during its 52nd Session in Geneva.
This time around, committee members-officially called experts-chastised the Holy See for its opposition to abortion during its review of the Holy See's report on compliance with the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Convention against Torture, CAT). Committee members stated that pro-life opposition to abortion results in torture for women. The archived webcast of the review can be found here.
Abortion, an act that results in the often painful death of a child in the womb and which can inflict lasting negative emotional, physical and psychological consequences on the woman, is real torture but the experts chose to ignore these facts, focusing instead on the Catholic Church's respect for the right to life and opposition to abortion.
Felice Gaer, Vice-Chairperson of the CAT Committee from the U.S.A., stated, "This committee has found repeatedly that laws that criminalize the termination of pregnancy in all circumstances can violate the terms of the convention."
The CAT Committee has 'found' this interpretation because it has conjured up such findings with help from leading pro-abortion legal activists including the Center for Reproductive Rights and Amnesty International which continually promote a so-called 'right to abortion' despite the fact that no international treaty says it is.
The Center for Reproductive Rights submitted a "shadow report" on the Holy See to the CAT Committee-more aptly called a 'treaty distorting body' in this case- which was critical of the Catholic Church's core belief that the right to life begins at the moment of conception and that induced abortion violates that right. The report also was critical of the Holy See for its support of actions to promote a culture of life in law and policy.
The report mentioned past actions of the CAT Committee which condemned sovereign States for enacting bans on abortion and mentioned the Committee on the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)'s recent review of the Holy See which was also critical of the Catholic Church's position on abortion claiming failure to allow access to abortion "places obvious risks on the life and health of pregnant girls" despite the fact that the CRC's preamble states, "the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth".
Papal Nuncio Silvano Tomasi, Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations in Geneva, was prepared for such criticism by the CAT Committee and explained that the Catholic Church's pro-life position protected human rights, "The Holy See's goal is to prevent children from being tortured or killed before birth, as is stipulated in the Convention". His prepared statement included reference to the number of babies who have survived abortion:
For example, in Canada, 622 living babies were delivered after failed abortion attempts, between 2000 and 2001. 66 such cases were registered in the UK in 2005. Some methods of late-term abortions constitute forms of torture, particularly in the case of dilation and evacuation, where 'the fetus, still alive, is dismembered to be pulled out of the womb in pieces.'
Past condemnation of laws against abortion by the CAT Committee included against Paraguay in 2011 when the committee criticized a law that banned abortion in cases of rape, incest or for disability of the child stating such laws amount to torture for women who "are constantly reminded of the violation committed against them, which causes serious traumatic stress and carries a risk of long-lasting psychological problems."
In 2009 Nicaragua was told by the CAT Committee that it needed to "revise its legal framework in relation to abortion", observing that the ban on abortion "exposes women and girls to a constant threat of serious violations to their rights, particularly if continuation of the pregnancy posed a threat to their life, or for victims of rape."
Amnesty International concurs which such reinterpretation of the treaty and stated, "The Committee is sending a clear message to the Nicaraguan state: So long as the complete ban with no exceptions is in place, you will be in breach of your international legal obligations to protect human rights."
In 2013 the CAT Committee Special Rapporteur on torture, Juan E. Mendez issued a report that was highly critical of laws against abortion: "The Committee against Torture has repeatedly expressed concerns about restrictions on access to abortion and about absolute bans on abortion as violating the prohibition of torture."
The CAT Committee will issue Recommendations or Concluding Observations to the Holy See which will likely include changing its stand against abortion. Such statements are seen by some as instructions that a State must follow in order to be compliant with the treaty. Others are aware that treaty body committees are known to distort the original intent of a treaty and give little credibility to these observations.
Recommendations suggested to the Committee by the Center for Reproductive demonstrate that pro-abortion bias and include the following recommendations:
Note that the Holy See has failed in its obligation to refrain from instigating, inciting, encouraging, or acquiescing in torture or ill-treatment, and has failed to provide particular protections for women from torture or ill-treatment, by publicly condemning women who have undergone abortions and doctors who perform abortions, in an attempt to stigmatize abortions that are needed to ensure the protection of fundamental human rights and prevent torture and ill-treatment. Note that this is a violation of the Holy See's obligations under Articles 1, 2, and 16 of the Convention against Torture and urge the Holy See to refrain from taking actions which interfere in the decisions of women and girls about whether to undergo an abortion.
Note that the Holy See has negatively interfered with states' attempts to develop legislation on abortion that would have served to better protect women from torture or ill-treatment. Note that the Holy See's actions are a violation of Articles 1, 2, and 16 of the Convention against Torture and that the rights of freedom of speech and of religion extend only so far as they do not undermine women's reproductive rights, including the right to be free from torture or ill-treatment. Urge the Holy See to refrain from negatively interfering publicly or privately in women's and legislators' decisions concerning access to abortion and to support states as they attempt to align their policies on women's reproductive rights with their obligations under the Convention.
Urge the Holy See to review its position on abortion in order to permit abortion for women and girls, including when their lives and physical or mental health are at risk, when there is a non-viable fetus, when they are the victims of sexual violence, or any other circumstance in which they experience severe physical or mental pain or suffering.
The CAT Committee announced that it will issue its Recommendations and Concluding Observations to the Holy See on Friday, May 23.
PNCI notes that the CAT Committee has not only ignored the violence of abortion and the torture that it inflicts upon the defenseless child in the womb but it has failed to recognize the unique 'torture' that women who deeply regret their abortion face every day.
PNCI urges pro-life lawmakers to closely monitor the Concluding Observations issued by treaty body committees to their country and voice opposition to pro-abortion recommendations.

Cash for vote issue: Pawan will respond today July 06, 2015 11:32
Pawan Kalyan confirms that, he would come into the media today and react on the current situations in the dual Telugu states. A week before, Pawan said that, he would respond to the various situations taking place in the dual state politics like, cash for vote scam, phone conversation and section 8. Keeping up the statement, the actor cum politician is going to express his views on the above mentioned issues today evening at around 4.30 pm.Also read: Pawan Kalyan responds on cash for vote scam Revanth Reddy bail made Pawan to react? However hard the force is, from the oppositions like TRS and YSRCP, Pawan maintained mum on the cash for vote issue from the beginning. But he is now getting ready to come into the media after Revanth Reddy got the bail. So the political critics opine that, Pawan might be against the bail granted to Revanth Reddy and so he might have decided to give a tight jolt to the former and has thus decided to come forward. Trend setter in politics too Generally, there is a trend in the politics to literally support the party members, however they are. But it was Pawan, who ruled out the trend and dared to declare a war against the party, whom he supported before. Hope the true leader speaks out the truth in the evening and lifts up our spirits again and again.By PhaniRead More

One of the methods to recover oil from medium and low viscosity in complex reservoirs uses air injection leading to oil combustion. In this case the oxygen in the air burns the heavier components of the oil, generating a heat wave leading to vaporization of lighter components. In this work, we consider a simple model for air injection in light oil reservoir containing only one component in dry ...

Accident → Two Korean school girls killed in Armored Vehicle Accident
On June 13, 2002 the two 14-year-olds - Shin Hyo-sun and Shim Mi-son - were run over by an armored vehicle on a narrow road north of Seoul on their way home from school. The incident attracted national attention.
"The girls were crushed by the right track of the 54 ton tank. Sergeant Walker stopped on top of the girls, then backed the tank off..."

5.0 out of 5 stars a great collection of stories
I bought this book solely because of the S M Stirling stories included in this collection and they were great.
I found it a very interesting read, with a lot of very original and thought-provoking ideas and themes. I was surprised how quickly I got in to many of them and wishing they werent short!
Read and enjoy!

R. Palmer "cr1vvens" - See all my reviews
This is a decent collection of alternate history short stories. The thing that binds these, in particular is that they are crime stories.
It's not the best anthology that I've ever read, nor is it the worst. There are a couple of stories in this that I, personally, really didn't enjoy. However, I've marked down all the authors and their stories and a brief bit on what they are about, so while I may not have enjoyed a story, if you're a fan, you may well find that you do. Of course that could work in reverse!
Running the Snake - Kage Baker. An entertaining little story - Britain in Elizabethan times is ruled by Druids, Will Shakspur (in this reality a conman) is called on by the Queen to investigate the murder of her son-in-law.
Via Vortex - John Meaney. I wasn't quite so keen on this one, personally, though it is quite clever (and the world that Meaney constructs is *extremely* believable). A German aligned "Amerika" sees the rise of the Nazis at the same time as in Germany and the upshot is that Einstein fled to France (and come to think of it, in a similar way to the premise of Paul MacAuley's excellent Cowboy Angels (Gollancz S.F.) though in that it was Alan Turing going to America instead of suffering persecution in the UK and helps develop "Turing Gates" which access alternate realities) his meeting with de Broigle while there takes science in a different direction. The story in this is concerned with the moral implications of a form of travel that this creates. It is genuinely thought-provoking, though I wasn't convinced by the set-up.
Fate and the Fire-lance - Stephen Baxter. I quite like Stephen Baxter, and he's done some enjoyable enough alternate history stuff (the Time's Tapestry novels including Conqueror). So, I'll say that I quite enjoyed this story, set in a Roman Empire still going strong on the eve of war, in 1914. It makes a lot of parallels with what actually happened in WWI, and this is the weakness of the story. Stephen Baxter is well known for writing (very good) hard SF. The only problem is that, as I'm sure readers of Baxter and hard-SF in general, will be aware of: there's a lot of info-dumping. Just about forgivable in a novel, less so in a short story. So; I liked it as a fan...be wary of it though, if you aren't (though you may enjoy all the nods to real-life history).
The Blood of Peter Francisco - Paul Park. This wasn't too effective - though I have since learned that there was a lot of obscure American history behind it. Perhaps with that knowledge it may have been better. The more familiar parts of the setting are and America where the revolution in the 1770s failed as did a second attempt in the 1860s which left America in the British Empire. The murder mystery part of it wasn't so interesting either - though I'm given to understand (and am sure I've read some good Paul Park short stories too) that Park *is* a good writer.
The Adventure of the Southsea Trunk - Jack McDevitt. Decent enough Holmesian story. The adventure and resolution, though guessable, were quite fun.
G-Men - Kristine Kathryn Rusch. It's a story about a murder, but is *anticipating* the alternate history that will arise from the murders that take place in the story. Quite an interesting way of looking on the task, I think. In this case it's the murder of people in the FBI (high profile, naturally).
Sacrifice - Mary Rosenblum. Quite an interesting alternate history whereby the Aztecs weren't destroyed by Europeans, leading to a different history (they end up stable and powerful, wiuth a more equal partnership with the likes of the Chinese Empire). The alternate history and the crime story itself are all quite effective, though the Aztecs are portrayed as being unable to solve the crime themselves?
Murder in Geektopia - Paul Di Filippo. Now, I like Di Fillipo - when these things come up, he's always interesting (his take on Steampunk is excellent, for example: The Steampunk Trilogy). This is a humerous little story, where, quite literally, the geeks inherited the Earth. Probably not *quite* to everyones taste. However I like Di Fillipo and the humour in this appealed.
Chicago - Jon Courtenay Grimwood. An Al Capone story. Not really so great, which is a shame, as his Arabesk (Arabesk Trilogy) is excellent. Grimwood is a good writer, though, so this isn't a total washout.
The Sultan's Emissary - Theodore Judson. Interesting concept (most of Europe Islamic, a decent grasp of real history) but the writing isn't very good at all. For that *sort* of universe, you're much better off with Kim Stanley Robinson's The Years of Rice and Salt. The set up in this is that the plague kills of all of Christendom, and it's a far, far better (though I should point out that it's a novel and the focus isn't entirely on the Islamic world).
Worlds of Possibilities - Pat Cadigan. More a multiverse story than strictly alternate history. That said, Pat Cadigan is a good writer and this is a decent sstory, despite the rushed ending.
A Murder in Eddsford - S. M. Stirling. Implausible change in physical laws send the world back to a slower, pre-industrial, time leading to a country policeman type story. OK, but I'm not totally convinced by Stirling (though I think if you enjoy his stuff, you'll like this). It's probably unfair to complain about the unlikely physics, but that may be because I didn't really like the story).
Conspiracies: A Very Condensed 937-Page Novel - Mike Resnick & Eric Flint. Humourous, if you like a parade of "funny" alien names. I don't particularly and didn't enjoy this story. Not overly familiar with Eric Flint, and have no desire to become so, though I've read better short stories by Mike Resnick before. If you're a big fan and can forgive the puerile humor, you may enjoy this story about the abduction of Jimmy Hoffa.
The People's Machine - Tobias S. Buckell. Ach, it's OK. Some nods to Sherlock Holmes and the like. Though there is a glaring error (which I have to confess to looking out for as it was pointed out in a review I read before), where the author forgets that a characters hands were 'cuffed, not bound!
Death on the Crosstime Express - Chris Roberson. Didn't enjoy that much, was OK and tried to make some points about race, but didn't do it very well at all; also there are a LOT of infodumps (which as noted by the Baxter story is a bit of a sin in short fiction...although I am probably applying dual standards here, as I think Baxter is just a better writer). It's as if it attempts to be worthy in this regard, but fails; which is a shame.
There are a couple of excellent stories in this (personal favourite Paul Di Fillippo's) but they just lift the collection a little. As I say, it's not a total washout - I appreciate that you may enjoy a couple of the stories more than I did and I've tried to indicate that. So don't get me wrong, I did enjoy reading *most* of this. I'm just not that sure I'll go back to that many of the stories.
I'm sure most will find something to enjoy here, but be warned that it's not all entirely successful.

We picked up the coach at about 5pm and headed back to camp. Tomorrow is an off day - not much to do.

A Middleboro man accused of enticing a child and attempting to exhibit explicit images of a child is being held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing.
Keith Gage, 42, was charged Monday in connection to a pair of incidents that allegedly occurred earlier this year in Easton. He was arraigned Monday in Taunton District Court on charges of enticing a child under the age of 16 and attempting to commit a crime.
According to a warrant on file in Taunton District Court, police believe Gage attempted to "pose or exhibit a child in a state of nudity or sexual conduct."
The incidents occurred May 26 and June 9, according to police.
Due to the nature of the charges, the court impounded the police reports and has released little information.
Judge Kevan Cunningham ordered Gage to return to court Sept. 24 for a dangerousness hearing.
Under the state's dangerousness statute, prosecutors can request that a defendant be held without bail for up to 90 days while awaiting trial if it can successfully make the case that his release would pose a threat to public safety.

A field sales representative markets products directly to clients; often, they offer products that can be resold by the client. The representative is responsible for collecting orders and ensuring they are fulfilled, making sure that adequate inventory is available, and acquiring further inventory. Adhering to budget and expense guidelines is important in this job. Field sales representatives may carry out their duties at their office and/or they may have to travel to clients.Read More...
The representative may use visual aids to sell products. Public speaking and good communication skills are important as the position often requires creating presentations for clients. In this position, there is often also a minimum sales quota that needs to be met. Bonuses may be offered for productivity, though there is usually a fixed salary or hourly wage.
Some field sales representative positions require only a high school diploma, while others require a postsecondary degree. Both entry-level positions and positions requiring experience are available, and there are both full-time and part-time positions. Computer skills are important in this job to create reports and marketing materials and maintain communication with clients. When there is a store environment connected to the company, the field sales representative may also be tasked with motivating employees to create promotional material and effectively promote merchandise. Because travel may be required, a valid driver's license is often needed for field sales representative positions.
Field Sales Representatives report using a pretty varied skill set on the job. Most notably, skills in Oral / Verbal Communication, Field Sales, Sales, and Account Management are correlated to pay that is above average. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Customer Relationship Management, Account Management, and Sales. Most people familiar with Field Sales also know Account Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Respondents with less than five years' experience take home $49K on average. In contrast, those who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably higher average of $57K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $65K. Survey respondents who have worked for more than 20 years actually report somewhat lower incomes of $58K.
