The role of the Association of South-East Asian Nations in fighting illicit drug trafficCHAVALIT YODMANI Police Major General, Secretary-General of the Narcotics Control Board, Office of the Prime Minister, Sala Santitham, Bangkok, Thailand
Member States of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) have decided to concert their efforts in order to overcome drug-related problems and illicit trafficking, which are recognized as a threat to their national security, stability and resilience. The activities and significant achievement of each member State show the important role that has been played by each country in combating illicit d rug traffic. Member States of ASEAN realize the importance of mutual cooperation between themselves as essential in the effective fight against illicit drug traffic.
The drug problem is one of the most serious problems facing the world today. It is a threat to the social and economic structure and the stability of a nation. The epidemic of drug abuse and its associated problems have spread and affected almost all countries of the world. It can be assumed that the drug problem in south-east Asia is more severe than in most other regions, owing to the fact that the main opium-producing area, the "Golden Triangle", is located there. This area borders the northern part of Thailand, the north-eastern part of Burma and the north-western part of the Lao People's Democratic Republic covering an area of approximately 75,000 square miles (200,000 square kilometers). Narcotics are illegally produced from raw opium in the refineries along the border between Thailand and Burma and are transported from the "Golden Triangle" for sale on the illicit market. by virtue of their geographical position, member States of ASEAN are situated very close to the main source of illicit drugs. Consequently, Thailand has been considered the gateway for drugs coming directly from the "Golden Triangle'' and most of the ASEAN countries are the transit points of the illicit drug traffic for further distribution to the illicit market around the world. Therefore, member States of ASEAN realize that they are facing the common problem of the drug abuse epidemic in the region and that mutual co-operation between countries is essential to cope with the problem.
ASEAN and drug control
Since its inception in 1967, ASEAN, which comprises five nations (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand), has carried out various activities to fulfil its objective of establishing south-east Asia as a zone of peace, prosperity and stability through social and economic cooperation. As a result of the ASEAN Declaration, the member States agreed to establish technical, social, economic, cultural and scientific co-operation in their mutual interests. In order to achieve this goal, committees were set up to deal with specific aspects of work. The prevention and control of the abuse of narcotic drugs were put under the responsibility of the ASEAN Committee on Social Development. Drug problems were clearly recognized as a threat to the regional socio-economic development.
ASEAN expert group meetings
As drug-related problems are widespread in the region, member States of ASEAN have decided to strengthen and intensify co-ordination among themselves to combat the problem. Joint efforts began in 1972 when the ASEAN Expert Group Meeting on the Prevention and Control of Drug Abuse was held at Manila. In 1973, the ASEAN Legal Experts Meeting on Narcotics was held at Jakarta. The meeting of ASEAN Heads of National Narcotic bureaus and Enforcement Agencies, held at Manila in 1975, paved the way to annual meetings of ASEAN drug experts. It was recommended that a meeting on narcotics should be held annually and should cover law enforcement, preventive education, treatment and rehabilitation, research and training. Consequently, in 1976, Singapore was host to the First Meeting of ASEAN Drug Experts which is now the regular forum for deliberations on various measures to combat narcotic drug problems in the region. To date, seven meetings have been held by the member States, according to a rotation system, the most recent having been held in Thailand in 1982.
Two ASEAN declarations
Evidence of the determination of ASEAN countries to overcome the drug problem is the signing of the ASEAN Declaration of Principles to Combat the Abuse of Narcotic Drugs on 26 June 1976 at Manila. The Declaration emphasized the need for intensified co-operation and an exchange of information and experiences in preventing illicit traffic, improving national legislation and implementing drug research and education, as well as for close co-ordination with international agencies concerned.
The awareness of the danger of drug abuse and associated problems was reflected earlier, in February 1976. The Declaration of the ASEAN Concord was signed by the ASEAN Heads of Governments at the ASEAN Summit Meeting held in Bali, Indonesia. As a result, the member States agreed to promote co-operation both between themselves and with the relevant international organizations in preventing and eradicating drug abuse and illicit trafficking in drugs. The two Declarations received a positive response from the member States, which encouraged anti-narcotic drugs activities and joint efforts in their countries.
Four aspects of anti-narcotic work
The main ASEAN activities in narcotics control have been initiated by the meetings of ASEAN drug experts. The implementation of recommendations arising from the previous meeting are reviewed at the next meeting. Four aspects of anti-narcotic work, i. e. enforcement and legislation, preventive education and information, treatment and rehabilitation, and research were the main programmes of action.
Training centres
ASEAN training centres were established in three member States: law enforcement in Thailand, preventive education in the Philippines and treatment and rehabilitation in Malaysia. The training centres were established as a result of a recommendation of the Fourth Meeting of ASEAN Drug Experts in 1979.
ASEAN narcotics desk
An important achievement made by member States of ASEAN was the establishment of the ASEAN narcotics desk at the ASEAN secretariat and the appointment of a narcotics desk officer who coordinates narcotics matters and encourages intensified co-operation between member States with the aim of helping the anti-narcotics activities at the ASEAN level.
Other projects
Two other ASEAN projects have been launched. The ASEAN training centre for ASEAN narcotics law enforcement officers in Thailand organizes an annual training course. Three such training courses have been conducted since 1980. The second project is the ASEAN training centre for preventive drug education in the Philippines which conducts the ASEAN Workshop on Curriculum Development in Preventive Drug Education. Three such workshops have already been held.
ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Organization
In addition to ASEAN drug experts, ASEAN parliamentarians have also shown concern for the growing menace of addictive drugs and the adverse effects of narcotics abuse. The ASEAN parliamentarians, through their ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Organization (AIPO), at their fifth General Assembly at Manila in April 1983 resolved that each ASEAN member State, through its respective Parliament, should include in its legislative programme measures to enact common legislation on penalties and their enforcement, including the death penalty for trafficking in drugs.
Illicit flow and cultivation of drugs in the region
Because of the proximity of the ASEAN countries to the "Golden Triangle", the problem of illicit drugs in that region is more severe than in others. ASEAN countries are facing the threat of an epidemic in both illicit drug traffic and drug abuse. Basically, the degree of the problem in each member State does not differ much, except for Thailand, which faces the problem of drug abuse and illicit traffic as well as illicit cultivation of the opium poppy. Raw opium is refined into various narcotics, such as heroin and morphine, at clandestine laboratories scattered along the border between Burma and Thailand. Owing to restrictions in the north of Thailand and the effectiveness of the declaration of a chemical free zone, illicit drug production is moving towards the south of Thailand along the border between Malaysia and Thailand. Opium and its derivatives are the main illicit drugs that flow in the ASEAN region. Drug traffickers use Thailand as the route for smuggling opium, heroin or morphine from the "Golden Triangle" for further distribution in Europe, North America and Australia. Other ASEAN Countries are also used as illicit d rugs transit points and the illicit passing routes.
South-east Asia is the source of illicit production of both opium and cannabis. In Thailand, the main cannabis plantation fields are in the northeastern part of the country. In Indonesia, cannabis is illicitly cultivated in the Aceh province and in North Sumatra. In the Philippines, illicit cannabis plants are widely cultivated in the mountainous areas of Luzon.
Unlike other member States, Malaysia and Singapore are not sources of illicit drugs but they are traffic routes of illicit drugs produced in the "Golden Triangle" .
Some other drugs such as cocaine, kratom and psychotropic substances are also found on the illicit market of ASEAN countries.
Activities against illicit drug trafficking
Since south-east Asia is the strategic point of illicit drug trafficking, member States of ASEAN have tried unceasingly to introduce effective measures for narcotics control. The fight against the illicit drug traffic is a difficult task since large, illegally acquired financial assets are involved. Traffickers risk illegal operations that can yield large profits, and undoubtedly, drug traffickers will always try to find alternative methods to avoid severe attacks by enforcement authorities.
The basic policy of member States of ASEAN is to prevent drug traffickers from coming into the region and to eliminate drug trafficking within the region. This policy was reflected in the recommendations of the First Meeting of ASEAN Drug Experts, which stated that the entry of drug traffickers into ASEAN member States should be refused and that persons suspected of being drug traffickers and illicit drug manufacturers should be expelled from these countries.
In general, each ASEAN Country has carried out its own activities on drug law enforcement and, in particular, has tried to initiate more severe narcotics laws to intercept the flow of illicit drugs. The implementation of programmes carried out by each ASEAN Country is summarized below.
Indonesia is a transit point of illicit drug traffic to Australia and Europe. Morphine and heroin are smuggled into the country and are widely abused. Indonesia has been facing the problem of illicit cannabis cultivation ; however, the Government has detected and destroyed cannabis plantations. The Government emphasizes community participation and encourages the public to give information on the source of illicit drugs. Preventive programmes are undertaken and used as a means to control the d rug sources, users and the illicit drug traffic. Legislative measures have been adopted as protection against dangers of the illegal use of drugs. Severe measures are taken for strict control of cultivation and production of illicit drugs.
Malaysia shares a border with Thailand. Consequently, there is no doubt that Malaysia faces the problem of drug smuggling from the "Golden Triangle" via Thailand. The Malaysian Government has intensified control measures and set up check-points near the border between Malaysia and Thailand in order to detect illicit drugs and chemicals essential for narcotics production. Existing laws have been amended and strengthened to include more severe penalties for drug offences. The principal law controlling drug abuse, the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, 1952, has been revised to respond to the changing needs arising from a new drug situation in the country. In 1981 , the Berkas Operation was launched by the Royal Malaysian Police to ferret out drug pushers and addicts. This operation was so successful that many traffickers were caught and charged under the Dangerous Drug Ordinance, 1952, including those sentenced to life imprisonment or death.
Illicit cannabis cultivation is geographically widespread in the Philippines, but 90 per cent of it is located in northern Luzon. Due to its strategic location on international sea and air routes, the Philippines is used as a transit route in the international illicit traffic of drugs from the Asian mainland to the United States of America and other countries. The main drugs being smuggled into or out of the country are heroin, herbal cannabis, cannabis resin and tranquillizers belonging to the benzodiazepine group, particularly diazepam and nitrazepam. There is very little abuse of heroin, cocaine and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and other hallucinogens. Multiple drug abuse is common, frequently involving cannabis, cough syrup preparations with or without narcotic drugs and tranquillizers.
The Government of the Philippines has a strong policy against illicit traffic in and abuse of drugs. The strategy adopted involves drug supply reduction, drug demand reduction and domestic and international cooperation. The Dangerous Drugs board is the national central agency of the Philippines on drug matters. It provides policy-making, coordinates all activities pertaining to drug abuse prevention and control and is also the special administration that implements the international drug control treaties. The Government has also established the Drug Intelligence Coordinating Committee, which is mainly composed of senior heads of operational national agencies dealing with the Government's drug control activities. The Chairman of the Dangerous Drugs board is a special adviser to this Committee in order to co-ordinate narcotics intelligence efforts. The Government has also strengthened drug law enforcement capability by creating the Narcotics Command under the armed forces of the Philippines, thereby absorbing the Constabulary Anti-Narcotics Unit. The Dangerous Drugs Act of I 972, as amended, has further been amended by providing a fine of from P 20,000 to P 30,000 and life imprisonment or death for illicit drug trafficking, manufacture and conspiracy.
Although not a source of supply of illicit drugs, Singapore is a transit point for illicit drug trafficking- The Government of Singapore has instituted severe measures against drug traffickers and has been successful in controlling the drug problem. The strict narcotics law is an effective tool of the Government in the fight against drug-related problems. The Misuse of Drugs Act, I 973, provides for severe punishment for drug trafficking offences ; the Criminal Law Act (Temporary Provisions) provides for a preventive detention, e. g- to detain drug syndicate leaders, financiers and drug traffickers without trial. The use of the preventive detention law enables the authorities to cripple major drug trafficking syndicates following the detention of their leaders. Apart from the strict legislation, a two-pronged strategy for the reduction of supply and demand has been adopted. lt was in the light of this strategy that Operation Ferret, aimed at identifying all traffickers and addicts and taking swift action against them, was launched. The pursuance of Operation Ferret with intensive enforcement has helped to contain the heroin epidemic and to decrease the number of drug dependent persons.
As Thailand is the gateway for drugs coming directly from the "Golden Triangle, ', the Government has made every effort to reduce the drug epidemic and illicit drug traffic. The heroin refineries along the border between Burma and Thailand have been destroyed, and the Shan United Army, the most powerful drug trafficking group, has been driven out. In addition to the attack against the refineries, the interception of chemicals used in heroin production was also an effective measure. The Government has declared a chemical-free zone in eight provinces in the north and five provinces in the south of the country. This measure can help to stop the operation of heroin refineries.
In order to reduce the drug supply, narcotics cultivation control programmes have been launched in the opium poppy growing areas in the north. Crop replacement programmes are successful and the amount of land cultivated with opium poppy has decreased ; the hill tribes, which are opium poppy growers, have turned to cultivating other cash crops that earn more income than growing the opium poppy. Parallel to crop replacement programmes are other programmes to promote the hill tribes' standard of living. The Thai Government has received support from foreign countries and the United Nations for the execution of these programmes, six of which are in operation at present. In addition, legislation has been strengthened with the enactment of the Narcotics Act, l979, which provides severe punishment for drug offenders.
The member States of ASEAN have made every effort to intercept the traffic in illicit drugs. The next step is the unification of drug laws and common measures. The enactment of drug laws that provide for the same level of penalty for narcotic offences, will help member States of ASEAN to increase the effectiveness of the fight against drug trafficking, since past experience has shown that traffickers gained advantages because of differences in drug laws of member States (for example, the penalty for possession of 100 grams of heroin may be different in each country). Undoubtedly, traffickers select as their transit route or destination countries whose drug laws are not strict. Consequently, while differences in the provisions of drug laws are an obstacle to an effective drug control, the enactment of common drug laws for member States of ASEAN is also difficult. However, the countries have continually sought to introduce common measures that can be used as a base for further development leading to a common drug law.
The recommendations of the ASEAN drug experts' meeting on the enforcement of narcotics laws were taken as measures by ASEAN countries. During the Sixth Meeting in Singapore, held in 1981 , member States were urged to adopt, in accordance with their existing laws, measures to deny the issuance and renewal of travel documents to illicit drug traffickers, manufacturers and financiers. Member States responded readily to this recommendation, which was in conformity with provisions of their existing laws. In the future, ASEAN looks forward to initiating drug laws for ASEAN as a whole that will be standard legislation. Above all, however, the member States adhere to the concept of mutual co-operation to eradicate the drug problem from the region.
A wide exchange of information has been achieved among the member States, each State showing its strong policy to control the drug epidemic and to intercept the illicit drug traffic. The successful interception of illicit drugs will benefit not only the people of the ASEAN countries but also people in the rest of the world. As the main source of illicit drugs is situated in the region, ASEAN will continue to work towards eradicating the illicit supply of drugs.

Give the New York Daily News credit for surfacing a video which originally appeared at Ed Notes Online, a publication whose "about" page says it opposes "the education corporate-based reforms ... undermining the public school system" and exposes "the motives behind the education deformers."
The video shows Michael Mulgrew, the president of New York City's United Federation of Teachers, threatening to "punch you in the face and push you in the dirt" if you oppose the nationally imposed and controlled Common Core standards, and from all appearances laying claim to America's children as the property of its teachers. Give the rest of the establishment press — which routinely pounces on inflammatory statements coming from the right and distorts others into making them appear to be — demerits for almost completely failing to expose an education tyrant. Video and excerpts from the Daily News's coverage follow the jump.
First, the video (Mulgrew's speech is the first 2:45 of the video's 12 minutes; the over-the-top remarks begin at 0:57; the transition into the threats begins at 1:35):
The full video is worth a look, because the opposition to Common Core coming from some of the teachers speaking at the event in the video's later minutes was vehement — but not personally threatening like Mulgrew's.
Now to the Daily News story by Ben Chapman and Stephen Rex Brown (bolds are mine):
Michael Mulgrew defends Common Core: 'You sick people need to deal with us and the children that we teach'
Teachers union honcho Michael Mulgrew unleashed a venomous screed directed at anyone who would dare threaten his beloved Common Core agenda.
"If someone takes something from me, I'm going to grab it right back out of their cold, twisted, sick hands and say it is mine! You do not take what is mine!" the head of the United Federation of Teachers shouted in a speech at a convention last month in Los Angeles.
... "And I'm going to punch you in the face and push you in the dirt because this is the teachers'!" added Mulgrew.
"These are our tools and you sick people need to deal with us and the children that we teach. Thank you very much!"
The remarks came during a heated debate on a resolution regarding the American Federation of Teachers' continued support of Common Core despite the union's disappointment in how it was rolled out nationwide.
"I've heard the stories about how Eli Broad, Bill Gates, Joel Klein and a flying saucer full of Martians designed these things to brainwash us all," said Mulgrew, mocking critics who deride Common Core as being imposed by billionaires and corporate bigwigs.
"It was scary," said (an audience member) ... "People were saying that he shouldn't be around children."
A search on Mulgrew's full name at the Associated Press's national web site comes up empty. A Google News search on ["Michael Mulgrew" common core] (typed exactly as indicated between brackets; sorted by date) returns roughly 15 relevant items mentioning his rant. Only three of them are from establishment press outlets: The Daily News item excerpted, The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, and an item at MyFoxNY.com.
The MyFox item headlines Mulgrew's speech as an "aggressive rant." No, it was a physical threat.
In the video, an audience member is heard saying "He'll pay for that" after Mulgrew's "Martians" reference.
Odds are that he won't, because the education union protection racket known as the mainstream media won't let it be widely seen or heard.
On substance, the Common Core standards are not more rigorous. They are the opposite.

The World Before Me is a modern-day round the world trip, set to the words of a 19th century poet. "Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road, healthy, free, the world before me." 160 years have passed since Walt Whitman penned this text, but feelings about travel remain the same. We're still inspired by the open road and still excited by discovering the unknown. In the fall of 2015, while preparing for a trip that would take me literally around the world, I couldn't shake the desire to share the experience of travel, which for me is a very personal one. This film is the culmination of that desire. I carried my camera for 5 months through 15 countries.

Environmental Decision Memo for Food Contact Notification No. 000958
Return to inventory listing: Inventory of Environmental Impact Decisions for Food Contact Substance Notifications or
the Inventory of Effective Food Contact Substance Notifications.
See also Environmental Decisions.
Date: April 26, 2010
From: Biologist, Environmental Review Team (ERT)
Office of Food Additive Safety (HFS-246)
Subject: FCN No. 958 - Polyglycolic acid as a nonfood-contact layer of multi-layer polyethylene terephthalate or polylactic acid food-contact articles or as a component blended with polyethylene terephthalate.
Notifier: Kureha Corporation
3-3-2, Nihonbashi-Hamacho
Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan
To: Division of Food Contact Notifications (HFS-275)
Kelly Randolph, D.V.M., M.P.H.
Through: William H Lamont, Acting Supervisor, ERT
For uses as an internal nonfood-contact layer, we have reviewed the claims of categorical exclusions for the above referenced notification and have concluded that categorical exclusions are warranted. The claims of categorical exclusion cite the sections, 21 CFR 25.32 (i) and 21 CFR 25.32 (j), under which categorical exclusions are warranted, state compliance with the categorical exclusion criteria, and state that no extraordinary circumstances exist that require the submission of an environmental assessment.
For use in blends with polyethylene terephthalate, attached is the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for FCN 958. After this notification becomes effective, copies of this FONSI and the notifier's environmental assessment, dated December 9, 2009, may be made available to the public. We will post digital transcriptions of the FONSI and the environmental assessment on the agency's public website.
Please let us know if there is any change in the identity or use of the food-contact substance.

Finding of No Significant Impact
Finding of No Significant Impact
A food contact notification (FCN No. 958), submitted by Kureha Corporation, to provide for the safe use of polyglycolic acid as an internal nonfood-contact layer in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or in polylactic acid food-contact articles or as a component in blends with PET.
The Environmental Review Team has determined that allowing this notification to become effective will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment and, therefore, will not require the preparation of an environmental impact statement. This finding is based on information, including an environmental assessment, dated December 9, 2009, in the notification submitted by the notifier, and other information known to the agency.

Just a few weeks after undergoing major kidney surgery, American Idol winner Phillip Phillips will headline the July Fourth celebration on the National Mall. The Georgia native, who tells the Associated Press the gig will be his first trip to Washington, will perform on the National Mall for the annual concert that will air on PBS.
"It's probably the biggest thing I've ever done besides American Idol," Phillips told the AP. "I'm just excited to get out there and do my first real live performance since everything that's been going on."
Phillips added that he's feeling good while recovering from surgery, which stemmed from health issues that plagued him during his victorious run on Idol.
"I'm getting better each day, so that's a good thing. I'm just walking around, getting my strength back together," he said. "It was tough, you know, those first few days, but I'm getting to where I can pick the guitar back up and write a little bit."

Proof reading
posted by Chopsticks .
Hello, my research paper is due Friday, and I am done with it. I need someone to proof read it and I was wondering anyone is willing to proof read 6-7 pages of text. I know that's alot to ask for, but I need a good grade on this. Is there anyone available tomorrow that think they can do it?
Please go over your paper with the following in mind. Thanks to PsyDAG for the following:
In the future, if nobody is available to proofread your work, you can do this yourself. After writing your material, put it aside for a day — at least several hours. (This breaks mental sets you might have that keep you from noticing problems.) Then read it aloud as if you were reading someone else's work. (Reading aloud slows down your reading, so you are less likely to skip over problems.)
[You can also either read it aloud to someone else or have someone else read it aloud to you! (The latter works really well!)]
If the out-loud reading goes smoothly, that is fine. However, wherever you "stumble" in your reading, other persons are likely to have a problem in reading your material. Those "stumbles" indicate areas that need revising.
Once you have made your revisions, repeat the process above. Good papers often require many drafts.
And here are a couple of really good websites that will help, too.

My software is and has been commercially available, although now it is free, so I suppose that's not commercial anymore. I am not an authourity on what software exists or how it is implimemented. But let me ask, just what is it that MP makes easier or is required in "CAD" software? (By CAD I was assuming that you mean array and speaker predictions in rooms. Otherwise I don;t understand.)
Quite honestly though, I am just not that interested in a continued MP discussion. It's just not that important to me. If it makes your life easier then fine use it. I just do everything complex in all cases and if its MP or not is of no matter. The concept does allow some simplifications for EQ discussions, but only in as much as we are talking about single points and not sound fields.

Sorry you are taking such heat, but you are well known for speaking about things with an air of authority that is apparently unjustified. Questioning might be a better tact in your situation that making such bold statements.
Time alignment is important in that it has a major effect on the polar pattern at the crossover. One finds that obtaining a good polar response at crossover necessitates a near time alignment of the drivers to come out right. But the need is for a good polar response and not for some belief that phase matching or phase itself is an audible characteristic. What is audible is the poor polar response that one gets when the two drivers do not have the minimum time differential between their signals.

Sorry Earl,
The context is lost a bit now. I've got a degree in high energy physics. So people once ment that i've got some capabilities. Thats for the record only.
Your claim was:
In it he shows how a mode in steady state will vibrate at the driven frequency even if its not precisely on that frequency, but, and this is the NON-minimum phase part, the decay occurs AT the resonant frequency. For example, lets say we have a mode at 51 Hz and we drive it at 49 Hz. In the steady state the enclosure has 49 Hz in the sound field, but when I turn off this source, the sound field slowly (relative to the decay rate) changes from 49 Hz to 51 Hz. No electronic system can do this and to call this kind of phenomina "minimum phase" is certainly not correct. Acoustics is not electronics and behaves quite differently.
I think using the term "AT frequency" provoces a missconception. Switching the power source off is the same as driving the system with an anti-signal. This anti signal will not consist of one special frequency but of a broader spectrum. The system will -linearly- react to all that new stuff on its input. It is not easy explained to common people, but I think You're educated enough to check out things.
Regarding these basics all systems called resonators do the same. That is the use in models, abstracions etc.
Again. If we talk about a single certain -frequency- then by pure logic (math) we talk about steady state. No temporal development. If we talk about -time-, temporal development of systems states we should use the term -spectrum. Would have been doing so many anger could have been avoided in the past.
As a first example lets get te misleading term "decay on resonance frequency" right. If the systems energy decays, it will show a spectral distribution around its defined resonance frequency. The width of that distribution is determined by the "Q".
Terms like "minimum phase" etc have to do with the transfer function of a system. These characteristics can not be derived from the basic mechanical or electric model as being a resonator. The transfer component is missing in the first place.
Thank You

I don't mind taking heat. Most people don't have the knowledge to prove me wrong, thus the conflict. I think any new point of view will face this kind of rejection. The ultimate decision is made by customers, optinions of which I always spend time to try to understand rather than reject. I do communicate with audiophiles, and in many cases, they find similar trends that I predict. Some of which are related with horns/guides.
Anyway, anyone with an open mind will learn faster and have more fun than those that don't. I think we will be making some news a few months from now.

Your analysis is lost on me - sorry. I don't follow it at all. And some phrases are not even sentences like:
"As a first example lets get te misleading term "decay on resonance frequency" right. "
I never used the phrase "decay on resonance frequency" so I have no idea what the quotes mean. The rest of the discussion is just as illusive. If you want to have an intelligent discussion about the math thats fine, but you at least need to write in complete sentences and in a comprehensive manner.

Sorry for being insistently. What You wrote above is in no way supported by contemporary knowledge (remember my degree in physics?). Neither is the maths of mechanical systems in any way different from that of electronic systems in this scope. Nor does the decay mechanism drift from one frequency to an other. Neither abrupt nor gardually. If so it could never be called linear, that simple.
Again, there is no relation to any phase, especially no so called minimum phase.
You have to admit a misstake. Anybody is prone to such anytime, nearly. So, as You are a native speaker please forgive my incomplete whackey so called sentences. I'll try to live up to Your expectations. I wish You would live up to mine.
thanks a lot

Lets forget about the minimum phase comment, thats a whole other can of worms.
If you dod not recall I too have a PhD in Physics, in Theoretical Physics to be precise, and my math skills are not rudimentary.
I stand by my statements as correct as shown by Morse in said text and they are not wrong simply because YOU say that they are wrong. The burdon of proof is on you since I have attached my proof from the work that I described.

In a bit of foreshadowing, he repeated that opinion in November.
Whenever a staffer needed help, Baron, in a foreshadowing of later events, was the first to volunteer.
And yet "The Ocean Full of Bowling Balls" doesn't require this kind of foreshadowing to work.
foreshadowing her intentions, the forty-seven-year-old gave the boy a signed first edition of the titillating tale.
It was still a game a quarter in, but in retrospect there was a fair amount of foreshadowing taking place.
But the effect of these concessions was undermining the sovereignty and was foreshadowing conflict.
It was a foreshadowing of a certain event now pretty sure to happen.
She had dreamt a dream, foreshadowing evil to Jack, she began to tell us—and not a morsel of breakfast could she touch.
There must have been a foreshadowing in her soul of the man's reliability, though she knew it not.
This is no mere jest, but a foreshadowing of Pietro Aretino.

Penguins notebook: Orpik, Gibbons remain out of lineup in Game 1 against Rangers
The longest-tenured Penguins player remained out of the lineup as the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs opened at Consol Energy Center against the New York Rangers on Friday.
Defenseman Brooks Orpik, after never missing a playoff game, has missed three straight following an injury suffered in Game 4 against Columbus or in an ensuing practice before Game 5 of that first-round series.
Defenseman Robert Bortuzzo again replaced Orpik in the lineup.
It remains unknown when Orpik will return to the lineup.
He was seen on an exercise bike before Game 6 in Columbus, but has not skated with the team since leaving practice early last week at Southpointe.
Right wing Brian Gibbons also remained out. He hasn't played since Game 2 against Columbus.
No big deal
Having previously coached the Vancouver Canucks, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault is accustomed to long flights and brutal travel schedules.
Which is why he's not exactly worried about his team playing three games in four nights to start the series. Or five in seven when one includes the Rangers' first-round series against the Flyers.
"I come from the West," Vigneault said. "Travel out here is pretty easy. So I'm not really overly concerned about three games in four nights with this traveling."
'Bob' and 'King'
For the second series in a row, the Penguins will face a Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender.
Columbus' Sergei Bobrovsky won the award in 2012-13, and the Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist won it the previous year.
"In the playoffs, in general, you have to understand that you're going to be playing against good goalies," Penguins center Sidney Crosby said. "We've been on that side with 'Flower,' and you see the boost we get when he makes some big saves."
Power outage
The Rangers entered Friday's game with an ailing power play. After converting three times in their first eight chances against the Flyers, the Rangers haven't scored in their past 21 opportunities with the man-advantage.
That equates to a 10.3-percent success rate, which was third-worst among teams in the opening round.
Not that Penguins coach Dan Bylsma is overlooking anything.
"They had three goals in their first two games, and I'm pretty sure you guys were talking about how good they were," Bylsma said. "Six days later, we're talking about something different because they go an extended period of time without getting a goal.
"I think it's fickle to look at the power play from game to game, series to series."
Miller healthy scratch
Rangers forward and Moon native J.T. Miller, one of four local players selected in the first three rounds of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, was a healthy scratch for Game 1 against the Penguins.
Miller has shown flashes at the NHL level, but hasn't yet been able to become a regular with the Rangers. In 56 career NHL games, Miller has produced five goals and 10 points. He played in two games against the Flyers in the first round, recording two assists.
Off the radar
Right wing Arron Asham, while still being paid by the Rangers, is not on their postseason roster.
Asham played two seasons with the Penguins before signing a two-year, $2 million contract in 2012. He played six games with the Rangers this season and 26 more with the Rangers' AHL affiliate in Hartford.
Welcome back
Former Penguins goalie coach Gilles Meloche, who works as a scout for the Penguins, sat in general manager Ray Shero's booth during Game 1 against the Rangers.

In the announcements section.
From what i can tell updating MSF3 from fast-track is very much broken. Would this have anything to do with the fact that /pentest/exploits/framework3 is actually a symlink to /opt/metasploit3/msf3 i keep getting errors about unversioned copies of files being present:
"A /pentest/exploits/framework3/test/tests
A /pentest/exploits/framework3/test/tests/01_all_exploits_have_payloads_test.rb
A /pentest/exploits/framework3/test/tests/04_task_manager_test.rb
A /pentest/exploits/framework3/test/tests/rakefile
A /pentest/exploits/framework3/test/tests/00_create_all_modules_test.rb
A /pentest/exploits/framework3/test/tests/03_range_walker_test.rb

A /pentest/exploits/framework3/test/tests/testbase.rb
svn: Failed to add file '/pentest/exploits/framework3/plugins/nexpose.rb': an unversioned file of the same name already exists"
initially it was complaining about files in the tests dir, so i moved tests to tests.backup and it went alright from there. However, as you can see above plugins seems to have the same issue.
Renamed plugins, tried to update again, got to this:
"Updating Metasploit....
U /pentest/exploits/framework3/msfelfscan
U /pentest/exploits/framework3/external/source/metsvc/test.rb
U /pentest/exploits/framework3/external/source/shellcode/windows/x86/build.py
U /pentest/exploits/framework3/external/source/shellcode/windows/x86/src/single/alloc_execute.asm
svn: Failed to add directory '/pentest/exploits/framework3/external/source/exploits/CVE-2009-3867': a versioned directory of the same name already exists"
anyone have any idea whats going on here? I even tried reinstalling the framework3 package through apt-get, no dice
reinstalled from repo again, went into the msf3 dir and ran svn update. same problem:
"root@unknown:/opt/metasploit3/msf3# svn update
D test/tests/01_all_exploits_have_payloads.rb
D test/tests/00_create_all_modules.rb
D test/tests/02_nmap_import.rb
svn: Failed to add file 'test/tests/01_all_exploits_have_payloads_test.rb': an unversioned file of the same name already exists"
did some reading on the files/directories existing already and it was suggested to do an svn update *, seemed to work @ first, but now i'm getting versionned directory error. something is horribly wrong here
"root@unknown:/opt/metasploit3/msf3# svn up *
Updated to revision 8044.
Updated to revision 8044.
Updated to revision 8044.
D data/sql/sqlite.sql
D data/sql/mysql.sql
D data/sql/postgres.sql
svn: Failed to add directory 'data/sql/migrate': a versioned directory of the same name already exists"
had to remove /opt/metasploit3 and reinstall the package, then run msfupdate. That finally worked. Interestingly enough msfupdate wasnt working after all the mangling i did with svn up. Looks like the initial issue here was caused by fast-track trying to upgrade msf3 via svn up as opposed to msfupdate. if anyone else runs into this issue, might be prudent to remove the dir in opt, reinstall the package, and msfupdate instead of letting fast-track try.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.

Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.

's comment on 2005-11-30 04:56 PM
This is a very interesting outlook on magic. I've never thought about it before, but it makes perfect sense. Magic can't simple come out of thin air, so in that case it is similar to energy and the law of conservation of energy (energy cannot be created or destroyed). with that said, magic is with everyone and everything, and the amount and side effects that result depends on the level of knowlege the person has with magic. A strong wizard, for example, would have a vast knowledge of how to use his own magic energy, allowing himself to use smaller and smaller amounts of it, depending on what he is doing.
So in a way, every character and thing has some sort of power and the same amount. When a spell is used, it doesn't really take another person's magic away, only his/her own. This creates backfire effects by draining so much of the person's energy that they may simply collapse or become dizzy. The more they know on how to control this, the less of their energy they need to use to accomplish a given task.
This idea is kind of like the jedi in Star Wars. The Force is with all living things and is not created or destroyed; only used. The more the jedi's knowledge of the Force increases, the more they can do with it and the less tired they become when using a large amount of it.

Minka Kelly Is a Pistol on 'Charlie's Angels' Set (PHOTOS)
Don't worry, she's just shooting an upcoming scene for Charlie's Angels in Miami, with her fellow angels, Rachael Taylor and Annie Ilonzeh.
ABC is bringing the angels back to the small screen this fall with a reboot of the famous series — which is produced by Drew Barrymore. This time the angels are bad girls who get a second chance, and are ready to kick-butt against crime. Unfortunately, the crew just lost their fearless leader!
"Due to his scheduling conflicts, Robert Wagner will need to step away from his duties as Charlie on Charlie's Angels," ABC told TV Guide. The veteran TV actor was set to be the voice of Charlie. According to the report, a replacement has yet to be found.
Charlie's Angels debuts Sept. 22 on ABC. Watch a trailer below and let us know if you'll be tuning in.

In the last 2 months i have either purchased or done work for some clients where coding have come from Envato marketplaces.
All items work well and most are very solid with good documentation. All in all is a good item.
It is amazing how many coders are just coding and making it hard for other coders to read.
For instance just using 1 letter variables with no meanings just to save a split second of coding.
for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) { echo $i; }
No or very little comments to state what $i means, so you have to read the whole code line by line to get to understand the logic given to the code.
How hard is it to do this:
// calling all arrays 10 times for ($arraycount = 1; $arraycount <= 10; $arraycount++) { echo $arraycount; }
I think this needs to be within the review process because on large plugins, themes etc this process can be a nightmare when reading.
Title needs a better name lol… not really meaning exactly what i wanted to get to say.
is not so hard to understand what an $i terations var does in a loop… that's very common, always seen loops like that.
If the code in question. Is relating to an item specifically designed to be understood by the customer, then it really depends on their experience (as opposed for not being seen by a customer).
That being said, using $i for loops is common practise. I'd rather have $i over $randomvar anyhow as its kind of an unspoken rule, as I (and others) immediately know that it will involve a for/while loop with increments.
$i is a standard in loops.
yep $i is quite common also $j, &k,.. in nested loops
I think it comes just above irrelevant $threads in forums.
for ($irrelevantforumpost = 1; $irrelevantforumpost <= 10; $irrelevantforumpost++) { echo $irrelevantforumpost; }
You guys are missing the point.
It's not about the I
That was just a very small simple example.
I am talking about the who code being 1 letter or like $xx or even $xxx etc
This is bad practice to have and isn't good coding about not having bad practice and isn't that what we are trying to achieve on these marketplaces?
I spent over 4 hours yesterday reading through a plugin because or poorly named and bad commented code here it should of only taken 15 minutes
@SportTipsWorld – very professional of you +1
There is no need to have a heavy and long name as "$arraycount" instead of the standard $i, $k, $j etc… since it's just like a temporary variable used just to do the count inside the loop. If "good" developers had a way to use less letter than $i inside loops they would do it
yougapi said

As my post above said, that was an example. A lot of coders are doing this throughout by doing things like
list($xxx , $xxxx) = explode(etc etc etc)

After weeks of faithful practice and preparation, Sunday, Dec. 2, the day of the parade, finally arrived. All of the children lined up in their formations, and marched out of the gates of the City of Hope at 3:00pm. The preparation included Imani Chacha working with the children in his drum line, Libby Hase working with the dancers and Alaina Ledyard working with the flags. Greta Ledyard helped out the percussion by directing the children in making shakers from bamboo. They marched, danced, sang and played their instruments through the villages of Ntagatcha and Borega, stopping at the markets in the center of the village to perform. Kyle Ledyard and Richard Murray drove the truck and the tractor between villages. Since Sunday is market day in Borega, the roads were packed with people. This experience was challenging in that none of the children had ever done anything like this before but very rewarding. We want to thank Martinsville High School for donating the marching drums and carriers. The community was amazed to see these strong, healthy children, full of life, hope and confidence. It is such a contrast to how the children were when they first arrived in March of 2009.
Now we are looking forward to Dec. 18th, when we are having a Christmas celebration for the community. We have collected gifts for the children from their sponsors and also candy and pencils to be given out to the children in the community. We have also had several beef cows donated for the feast. We are targeting those who are most needy in the community. Christmas is such an exciting time at Teamwork City of Hope!!!

A recent article from Reuters states that Pinterest is valued around $1.5 billion, after raising around $100 million in financing. Pinterest is in the long line of dot com companies that have received massive valuations (and been able to receive massive amounts of funding) without turning a profit. This trend has been occurring in the tech industry for decades, and some say that it is actually beneficial for the growth of new startups - they have the ability to focus on creating a product or service that people use instead of worrying about how whether or not they can afford to keep the business afloat. The ultimate goal is to start making revenue, bet acquired, or go public.
The conversation that everyone is having with Pinterest is the same one that people have been having with other "hot" dot com and tech businesses like Facebook (which is now a public company and must rely on Facebook ads for most of their revenue), Instagram (which was acquired by Facebook for $1 billion) and YouTube (which was acquired by Google for $1.65 billion). Large companies are always willing to pay a premium to acquire startups, which is why I think it's possible that someone out there is willing to pay $1.5 billion for it. However, is it worth that much?
From a literal standpoint, no, it probably is not. However, take into account more than just the monetary income that Pinterest could ever hope to generate and that price might be worth it. Take Instagram and YouTube for example. Facebook and Google did not purchase those companies because they thought they would be able to make back the money that was spent to purchase them in the short run. However, there are synergies between Facebook and Instagram, and Google and YouTube that do not appear on a balance sheet but are vital to each company. If a company does decide to purchase Pinterest, it will be for that reason, not because they expect it to turn a profit.
