The hArtes CarLab: A New Approach to Advanced Algorithms Development for Automotive Audio
Because of strong interest in designing audio systems for automobiles, an audio laboratory installed in a real car has been developed using professional equipment. The proposed method aims to create a foundation for a holistic end-to-end approach for real-time embedded system design (hArtes) using the modern algorithm tools and reconfigurable hardware. Proof-of-concept tests show that the equivalent results are achieved with significantly less time and effort.

The Best Bargain I Ever Made
Ronald Coase, 1910-2013.
Sep 30, 2013, Vol. 19, No. 04 • By ANDREW B. WILSON
Though I never met the man, I feel a debt of gratitude to Ronald Coase, the Nobel Prize-winning economist who died on Labor Day at age 102. Reading his "Nature of the Firm," one of the most cited essays in all of economics literature, encouraged me to start my own business.
Ronald Coase
Landov / U. Chicago
Two decades ago, I persuaded John McDonnell, the CEO of McDonnell Douglas, then the nation's twenty-third-largest industrial company, to outsource the biggest part of my job—writing his speeches—back to me as an independ-ent writer. I left the company with an annual contract that paid me no less money than I had been making before and that allowed me to pursue other clients. But as I told McDonnell, I knew that I had to perform at a high level, being painfully aware that the company could cancel my contract at any time if I did less well as an independent contractor than I had as a "salary-man" (to use the Japanese expression), or employee.
Anyone familiar with Ronald Coase's work will recognize that I had struck a classic "Coasian" bargain—finding an efficient free-market solution to a problem (my unhappiness with the corporate environment and desire for independence) that worked for both parties: The CEO accepted the notion that I would be a hyper-motivated non-employee, and I became my own boss.
Coase was the first to ask, and provide a plausible answer to, the question of why companies exist, and why a critical part of their success comes from getting large numbers of people to submit to a form of voluntary servitude—punching a time clock and giving employers the right to direct their performance in exchange for predetermined wages or salaries and protection from sudden or arbitrary dismissal.
His answer was that companies exist for the purpose of reducing "transaction costs," meaning all the costs of trying to order economic activity through voluntary exchange. That includes the costs of searching out and evaluating other parties; negotiating contracts; maintaining communication; and policing and enforcing the terms of those contracts.
Imagine the extraordinary difficulty that a Henry Ford or a William Boeing would have faced in trying to contract out for every part and every task going into the manufacturing and assembly of a car or airplane. Hence the need for the visible hand of management in coordinating the allocation of resources.
At the same time, Coase fully appreciated the disciplines and rewards of free enterprise, and he was acutely aware of the tendency of corporate (and government) bureaucracies to stifle individual initiative and kill any sense of real ownership that people have over the quality of their own work. Within a large, publicly owned corporation, no one, including the CEO, is spending his own money.
Citing the picturesque words of another economist (D. H. Robertson), the British-born Coase, who spent most of his working life in the United States, described companies as "islands of conscious power"—or central planning—in an "ocean of unconscious (i.e., spontaneous free-market) cooperation . . . like lumps of butter in a pail of coagulating buttermilk."
The "lump of butter" of which I was a part in the early 1990s was a shrinking rather than a growing mass: In just three years, the company shed more than 50,000 jobs, or 42 percent of the workforce. In the midst of all the downsizing, people were angry and confused, not knowing where the axe would fall next and bitterly resenting a sudden loss of the personal security that they had gained (and felt entitled to) through years of fealty to the same company. What they didn't see was that a whole way of life was disappearing.
And now it is gone. Today, no one—not even someone graduating from a top business school—expects to spend his or her entire adult life with a single company. Everyone accepts that big companies really aren't built to last. More like lumps of butter than castles of perpetual growth and stability, they may dissolve at any moment and disappear into the surrounding liquid.
One may think of the quarter-century from 1955 (the first year of the Fortune 500) to 1980 as a golden age for big business in America. During that time, Fortune 500 companies ruled the roost, growing at about twice the rate of GDP growth and enjoying robust profitability from one year to the next, even during recessions. In 1975, the last year of the virulent recession touched off by the Arab oil embargo, only 15 Fortune 500 companies, or 3 percent of the total, reported losses, and all of the top 50 companies were solidly in the black.
Compare that with 1993, which happened to be my last year as an employee at McDonnell Douglas. This was a brutal year for many big companies. Even though the 1990-91 recession was officially over, no fewer than 151 Fortune 500 companies, or just over 30 percent, lost money in 1993, and that included 4 out of the top 10 (GM, Ford, IBM, and DuPont) and 22 out of the top 50 ranked by revenues.
To add just one more statistic gleaned from sifting through old issues of the Fortune annual survey, it is worth noting that Fortune 500 companies shed close to 3 million jobs in the decade ending in 1993.
So what happened to bring the era of big business dominance to a close and set the stage for a new era of entrepreneurship and greater dispersal as opposed to centralization of economic activity?
We may turn to Ronald Coase for the key insight. In his essay on the nature of the firm—published in 1937, when he was a young professor at the London School of Economics—he addressed the different ways in which technological advances could affect the size of companies:
But of course, I thought, when I read those words for the first time. This was a year before John McDonnell and I struck our Coasian bargain. With his encouragement, I had agreed to take part in a research project by the Center for the Study of American Business at Washington University in St. Louis examining how U.S. firms (including McDonnell Douglas) were responding to the twin challenges of the information revolution and globalization and to write sections of a book (The Dynamic American Firm) summarizing the findings.
Coase's thinking loomed large in the book and in my subsequent decision to go out on my own.
The mainframe computers that came into existence in the 1950s were so big and expensive that only the biggest companies could use them. With the help of these early computers in reducing the costs of organizing production and marketing, Fortune 500 companies became bigger and more prosperous throughout the sixties and seventies.
Then came the information revolution—which (even before the Internet) had the opposite effect of reducing the size of firms. It reduced the need for corporate bureaucracy. Still more, it caused many big companies to disassemble their carefully constructed vertical empires and to contract out for just about everything outside of their own core competencies. I knew that writing was not one of McDonnell Douglas's core competencies, and I reasoned that I should set a price for my work as an outside contractor that would be equal to the cost that the company would incur in having to hire a speechwriter to replace me. Since the drafting of speeches and annual reports took maybe 50 percent of my time at McDonnell Douglas, I figured I would free up many hours that would go into serving other clients.
The Dynamic American Firm did not become a bestseller, but in rereading some passages of the book, I can relive a bit of the excitement I felt in pondering the next step in my own life:
Coase may have done more to extend our understanding of business and commerce than any thinker since Adam Smith. But his influence did not stop there. He also had a profound influence in challenging the belief that government regulations, taxes, or subsidies were the best and, indeed, the only way of dealing with actions of business firms that have harmful effects on others, with a commonly cited example being the emission of sparks from a train that damages a farmer's crops along the railroad's right of way.
In "The Problem of Social Cost," his second-most-famous essay, published in 1960, Coase argued that most disputes of this nature are best resolved by negotiation, rather than regulation or imposing strict penalties on the damaging party.
As Coase pointed out, both the railroad and the farmer would be better off if the latter agreed not to cultivate the vulnerable portion of his land in exchange for a payment that would equal or exceed the opportunity cost incurred in forgoing its cultivation. In other words, without regulation, the two sides could easily reach a mutually beneficial solution.
"The Problem of Social Cost" gave rise to a whole new body of literature in the field of "economics and the law."
In awarding him the 1991 prize in economics, the Nobel committee observed that "Coase may be said to have identified a new set of 'elementary particles' in the economic system." Coase himself made no such claim. In 2012 he told an interviewer, "I've never done anything that wasn't obvious, and I didn't know why other people didn't do it."

In Blantyre, Malawi, dozens of women sell potatoes in the marketplace. But Grace Msowoya and her business partner Betty Louhana stand out. Frustrated by their small profit margins, they became the first women to take the bold move of becoming distributors themselves. Every two weeks, they withdraw money from their Opportunity savings to rent a truck. They hire a driver and spend several days on the road to get potatoes directly from farmers, which they then sell to other vendors.

31 year old woman | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking men 28-35 within 40 miles
Ready for the next adventure...
A little bit about me... I am an outgoing, independent, sensitive, and caring person. Ok..that sounds too serious and stuffy - here are a few more adjectives to attempt to describe myself - I am a laugh-er, a smile-er (yes - I know these are not real words), sarcastic and enjoy some good old fashion banter. Do you know Beethoven's favorite fruit? If not.. you should ask me if we ever meet... it's a REAL knee slapper. I moved from the east coast and 5 years ago and it seems I have found my real home here in CO. With that being said, my family means the world to me. We are small but close, and I am lucky to be able too see them often throughout the year. I love to be outside, whether it is in the mountains camping or skiing, playing in the parks in Denver, or just going out for a morning run. Traveling is always in the front of my mind and regardless of it is near or far, I am always plotting the next great adventure. I like being challenged and try to make the most of and learn from every experience. I cannot neglect to mention that as most people, I do enjoy the rainy day here or there so I can be a bum and read a book or watch a good movie. Oh, and I really like to play in the kitchen - both cooking and baking (the proof is in the picture - who wouldn't want a TMNT birthday cake?) and I love to share! I enjoy what I do for work but definitely work hard so I can play harder. Outside of the office, you can find me with my friends at places like a patio for happy hour, pot-lucking in the park, heading to the mountains, seeing live music, or aenjoying a local festival. I am looking for a partner in crime. Someone with a good sense of humor that can appreciate some sarcasm. Someone who is lighthearted and doesn't take life too too seriously (but still knows the time and place). Someone who is open to trying new things and teaching me a few as well. Someone who is honest and genuine and loves to smile as much as I do.
Camping , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Performing arts , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
I love dogs and hope to have one in the future.
Winter Park, the mountains in general, Cape Cod, Retiro Park in Madrid, parks and patios on the beautiful days.
Bluebird days on the slopes. Sitting in front of the fire at my friends cabin in the mountains chatting or reading a book. The beach I've gone to since I was 5 in Cape Cod. Cooking & baking. Adventures with friends no matter how big or small.
Skiing, running, camping, hiking,traveling, sporting events live or not - most live games i see are avs/rapids games, cooking, baking, dinner or happy hour with good friends, bbqs, hikes, bike rides, mountain adventures, movie night
In the middle of reading "Frozen in Time" - so far really interesting true story written in narrative form.

In Canada, relations between the federal system and the provincial system are much more fraught — often antagonistic.
First, we enjoy a denial so implausible it verges on the antagonistic, then a grudging acknowledgment of the facts of the matter.
No matter how antagonistic the question or the barb, Jackson keeps a low voice and a respectful tone.

OK, since this blog is called the "ABC's of Coming to the USA," I figure the best place to kick it all off is with the "A." Unfortunately, that would be a very short post, since the A visa is reserved for diplomats and heads of state. This probably constitutes a small minority of JJ readers. So let's talk about the B-1 visa.
Generally, a citizen of a foreign country who wishes to enter the United States must first obtain an appropriate visa. The most common visa for visitors is the B visa. This applies to people entering the United States temporarily for business (B-1), or for pleasure or medical treatment (B-2). Today we'll talk about the B-1 visa.
B-1: What does "business" mean? In lay terms, it basically means coming to the U.S. to engage in business. Examples including traveling to the U.S. to consult with business associates; to attend a scientific, educational, professional or business convention; to settle an estate; or to negotiate a contract. The best way to think about it is that you can come to the U.S. to conduct business, but you should not be employed by a U.S. employer, or take a wage/salary while you are down here. If you do, then a B-1 may not apply, and you should consider something else like an L, O, TN, or H visa. Professional athletes coming to the U.S. to compete for prize money can enter on a B-1 visa. While you are receiving compensation, it is not really a salary or employment that would require another type of visa. You may be required to pay U.S. taxes on any prize money you win.
I will discuss the B-2 visa in the next post. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
We welcome your feedback.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 12/5/12
The Oakland Raiders on Wednesday strongly denied a report that club was negotiating to bring former coach Jon Gruden back to the club. The report, broke by Pro Football Weekly editor Hub Arkush on Tuesday, said that Gruden was discussing on the same day that current coach Dennis Allen was attending the funeral of this father. "... There are two people on this planet that have the ability to make talks happen between Jon Gruden and the Raiders, with regard to him allegedly taking over the football operations, and/or the position of head coach," Raiders director of media relations Zak Gilbert said. "Each of those individuals, owner Mark Davis and general manager Reggie McKenzie, wanted me to communicate that this rumor has no validity whatsoever. "And for the record, I'm personally disgusted that Hub Arkush would spread such an untruth on the day our head coach, Dennis Allen, had to determine with his mom, his brother and sister, whether to take his dad off life support or wait ...

How often do DM's get drowned by panicked students? Have any DM's here had to fight off a panicked diver?
"Drowned" generally refers to someone that has actually died... do you mean that?
I've never heard of any that have... among the DM's and instructors at our shop i don't want to guess how many students we've all collectively had, and there have been no stories [real or otherwise]...
you learn in the rescue course how to deal with divers that are in a full panic state... the "victims" (divemasters) don't cut you any slack... if they can grab you, you're going under, getting kicked, climbed on, punched, regs out of mouths... the full works, as they should as well. in the training you get the ability to stop and discuss the situation, how to better it for next time, review what when right and wrong.
you can't ask someone who actually believes they're drowing to stop for a minute while you get your breath.
Please point me to the argument that spawned this question.

I've had it happen twice to me. Kicker is it wasn't either as a DM and wasn't my buddy or group. Was also in a rock quarry... Fun stuff let me tell you. Many years of lifeguarding and the training that went with that was much more helpful than what we were taught in scuba. If you train your students well, that type of stuff should present itself in the pool long before you make it to open water

If this ever happens to me (as a DM or otherwise) I will consider it 100% my fault for failing to correct the situation much much earlier.

I got in a serious situation during a rescue exercise once due to the student's mistake but I wasn't a DM at the time. I was just playing "victim"
In the years I was a DM I witnessed one case of full blown panic during a dive from a student who probably shouldn't have been taken to her check out dives at that point. As an instructor, I learned from that moment and I've (knock on wood) never had a student panic during a checkout dive. In that case, the instructor did the "tackling" and not the student so there was no danger to me as DM. My role at that point was to remain with the rest of the students.
I still get the odd one that wants to bolt in the pool (99 times out of 100 it happens during the first few attempts at the mask skills) but I feel that the 1% is my fault and at some point i'll have it nailed.
Nothing will stop you being creative more effectively as the fear of making a mistake. - John Cleese

I'm not aware of any DM's drowning because of a student. Having to deal with panicked students grabbing ahold of you isn't unheard of but is very infrequent. I've certified close to five hundred students and have only had it happen to me once. Mostly my fault - I was distracted, dropped my guard and wasn't looking for trouble.
Gone diving.
Haven't been drown, but does getting punched count?
If we were logical, the future would be bleak, indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human beings, and we have faith, and we have hope, and we can work.

If it happens to you, you won't be in a position to consider anything.
I will no longer be responding to vision care advice requests either via pm or on the thread I started on that subject. My apologies in advance for any consternation that may result.

First week of playing with it, i called in 5 coyote's 1 bobcat and 2 red fox. I love it. Realistic sound, and for the price you just cant ask for any better product.Date published: 2015-03-13Rated 5 out of 5 by Buckshot from good price this is a nice compact unit that has good volume. I seems to be of good quality all around. It really scares the heck out of our cats!Date published: 2015-01-20Rated 4 out of 5 by Tim Gifford from Electronic Predator Call I received the ICOtec GC300 Predator Call in a timely manner. The call was more than I expected the price. The call is comparable to other calls that are 2 or 3 times more. It is easy to use and I am excited to be able to use soon.Date published: 2015-01-19Rated 5 out of 5 by Tdez from excellent First time I used the predator call a huge bobcat came running out. Didn't expect it and couldn't even get a shot. The call is very loud and the remote works great.Date published: 2015-01-19Rated 5 out of 5 by Jerry from Predators Beware This units really performs....it brings the coyotes to almost hand shaking range. Had three come in within 20 feet...amazing unit.Date published: 2014-12-26Rated 5 out of 5 by Larry from Nice Usable Unit Nice light-weight mid-size unit with very good volume and sound quality. Color works well with our winter time snow cover, but will need to be concealed when used in the "green" or "brown" seasons. Only down side is you will need to be content with the preloaded sounds as there is no provision to download additional sound tracts that are available elsewhere. Great value for the price however.Date published: 2014-12-26Rated 5 out of 5 by Tony from It works great!! Very easy to set up and use. When I first tried it out it didn't take long for a murder of crows to occupy trees all around the call and make a heck of a ruckus, then changed it to the predator call and had some fun after I let my three dogs out.Date published: 2014-11-30

Investment banking continues to be a laborious, tedious practice. Banks are implementing ways to boost retention by instituting policies designed to reduce number of hours / frustration associated with the job – 100hr work weeks are still common.
Fundamentally though, not much has changed over the last 15 years. Take financial modeling for example, which remains one of the most time consuming aspects of investment banking. Even today, models can take hours or days to put together. Building a good model requires years of training and a mastery of advanced accounting and finance concepts. Given almost every company reports and behaves differently from an operational standpoint it becomes difficult to use a universal template to build models for varying situations. Read More >>

Community ownership plays an important role, because, when a much-loved or neglected pub closes or goes up for sale, it can often be one of the last community services in the area.
It can be an emotional blow as well as one that can seriously affect the future local economy and community infrastructure; nowhere to meet, no focus for community life and no community cohesion.
Galvanised into action, some communities can be a successful force; bringing creativity, business acumen and hands-on support into one powerful and vocal group. Many groups have uniquely pulled together to own and run their pub but equally over 70% of groups do not take, or are not able to take their plans through to fruition.
Like so many across the UK, we want to ensure that pubs and other rural services remain pillars of the community. We have an advisor who can help specifically on community ownership projects. As an organisation we cannot advise your group on legal or business decisions but we can help local communities to mobilise; giving them the options they need to strengthen and support their local services by taking ownership of their local pub.
Pub is The Hub has already supported and advised a large number of communities who have undertaken such projects. Although only a small number of groups actually go ahead with their plans to buy or run their local pub, for the ones that have taken the plunge, the results have been inspirational. There are, however, serious responsibilities involved and it has to be for the long term – not a romantic local dream – hard work is involved.
Take a look at some of the past community ownerships projects in our case studies section to find out more. Contact details are included in the case studies so you can communicate directly with other community groups to see how they got on.
You will soon be able to download a pack with more information about the various options on how your group could form itself into a legal entity and what sort of ownership opportunities are available to suit you – or you can call the office and request a printed version to be sent to you.
Feel free to watch our video and see how one Gloucestershire community took ownership of their local pub and the challenges involved!
The Community Right to Bid was created in the Localism Act in September 2012 across the country. This means that communities can 'stop-the clock' on the sale of valuable local assets and amenities like post offices, village shops or community pubs, giving them time to put in a bid of their own and protect it for the wider benefits of the community.
The new right gives voluntary and community organisations and parish councils the opportunity to nominate an asset to be included on a list of 'Assets of Community Value', pausing the sale of a successfully listed asset for six-months, giving communities the opportunity and time to prepare a bid and get a business plan together. Previously a community has had no opportunity or time to gather resources to bid to buy or take them over.
In summary, it means that:
To find out more about what to consider before applying for community ownership, along with details on which scheme is right for you, contact our office for more information, or visit websites such as CAMRA and Plunkett.

Vingerclip to Etosha
The crash....
Today started off like any other riding day. Tim and I got up early, assembled our gear, and scrambled to grab some grub in the restaurant. We had a big day ahead of us...493 km of gravel and asphalt roads to reach Etosha National Park.
We we all stoked as this park promises to deliver sightings of the big 5 game.
We decided to split into two groups this morning, with one group blasting along gravel roads while the other group tore ass on paved roads. Adam, Tim and I decided to lead the gravel pack and set off for a very memorable ride. The roads were very windy, dusty, and covered in loose gravel. Adam led the way, followed by Tim. The dust was so thick that I decided to back off a good 1/2 mile from Tim in order to see the road. With a good dust gap established, I was thoroughly enjoying the ride. The air was still relatively cool and the scenery looked eerily similar to Monument Valley in northern Arizona and southern Utah.
After about an hour into the ride, I came up on a slight hill and noticed a sign saying sharp left corner. I crested the hill, stayed to the inside of the corner, and powered through it. I was probably doing about 50 to 60 mph. (I had no idea that Tim had gone wide and had crashed on the outside of this very corner. He was lying unconscious in the ditch when I rounded the corner. ) About 200 yards down the road, the gravel road came to an end at a T intersection. I pulled up along side Adam and shut off my engine.
"Dude, where the hell is Tim?" I asked.
"Isn't he behind you?" said Adam.
"No...he was behind you and in front of me!" I said.
Just then, it hit us. Tim had crashed. As if on cue, another rider came barreling down the road screaming like a little girl. "Guys...Guys!!! Tim crashed just up the road!! Tim is down!!"
Adam and I jumped on our bikes and rode back up the hill. Scotty was the first to arrive at Tim. We parked our bikes, and raced down off the road, past Tim's battered bike, and straight into an acacia thorn bush. Tim had flown a good 10 feet from his bike and impaled himself in a thorn bush. At first sight, we all thought Tim was dead. He wasn't moving, and he was pale white. The three of us stabilized Tim while trying to get his helmet off to check his breathing. Just then, he came to and started moaning, kicking, and grunting. Thank God he was okay. We tried our best to keep him from moving, but Tim is a big dude and he kept thrashing and trying to stand despite all of our efforts.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed another 1200 GS come crashing through the bush just feet from where we stood trying to help Tim. It was Stan. He too came over the crest of the hill, saw all of the commotion, and went off the road trying to avoid everybody. Fortunately, he just stood up on the pegs and blasted through the bush somehow managing to keep the bike upright. We then sent another rider to the top of the hill to warn all oncoming traffic. We also gave him a satellite phone out of Tim's backpack to call John, our medic, who was only 30 minutes away.
Tim was finally starting to mumble. We got his helmet off and he was moaning in pain. "My fucking back... it hurts!! I want to stand!!!" He would not stay down. Four of us decided to support him, and carry him up out of the ditch up onto the opposite side of the road. Charley arrived and tried to make light of the situation, but we all new that it could be serious.
It took five of us to get his battered bike out of the ditch.
To our surprise, it wasn't that damaged. The engine run switch was smashed, and the bike would not start. The windscreen was bent, the foglight ripped off, the bash guards bent, and the plastic was scraped.
John arrived shortly thereafter in the Land Rover. John is the owner of Motoaventures, and is one hell of a calm guy in stressful situations. Being a paramedic for years, he took control of the situation and stabilized Tim. He loaded him into the back of the rover. Five of us picked up his bike and loaded it onto the trailer attached to the Rover. They then took off for a Namibian hospital which was only 30 to 40 km away. Tim was fortunate to crash so close to medical support.
With Tim on his way to the hospital, there was nothing else the remaining guys could do. We got our shit together, and rode off towards Etosha. The riding style had changed for the remainder of the day's ride, with each person riding slightly more cautiously. The rest of the day's ride was sort of a blur to me. I was thinking about Tim, and how fragile life can be. Here we are blasting along dirt roads in the middle of Namibia on 600 pound bikes thinking we are indestructable in our riding gear, boots, and helmets. It was a harsh reality check for everyone.
It wasn't until we came across our first wild giraffes that I was able to put the crash behind me.
It was so amazing to just see wild giraffes walking down the road. We all stayed there for awhile appreciating the fact that we were riding in Africa. So far, we had seen wild elephants and wild giraffes. What a great feeling to be riding among such incredible animals.
We got to our lodge that evening, and word had spread that Tim was going to stay the night in a Namibian hospital.
Apparently, he fractured 4 to 6 vertebrae, had a major concussion, and had bruised his back pretty badly.
Su was going to stay with him. Su was driving the other support vehicle with everyone's bags.
We went out on our first safari that evening. This was my third safari, but it was so incredible. I would have posted some great photos, but my telephoto lens was on the support vehicle. (Thanks Tim!!)
It was weird not having my roomie with me that evening. We all had a nice dinner, and then sat outside by the campfire for hours just talking about the day's events. I called Tim and it was great to hear his voice. He said that he was going to try and ride his bike again in a few days. I laughed but realized he was serious. He was not going to go home. (Don't worry....the only riding he did for the remainder of the trip was in the Rover!!) What a day!
A single adventure can change the course of a life...
