Objekt and Jose Alberto Luna, the production manager from smartbar, share their personal guidelines.
You can find Hertz's A DJ's guide to turntable isolation here, and Luna's step-by-step process for quality controlling turntables below.
Jose Luna's quality control process
While I don't feel it's absolutely necessary to bust out a multimeter/voltmeter/Fozgometer before every gig, there is definitely a quality control process that everyone should take prior to placing turntables in front of an artist.
Isolating the turntable means reducing or eliminating vibrations or resonances that can be picked up by the turntable's body, tonearm or cantilever/stylus. These vibrations fall into three categories: structural, airborne or self-generated. Each has to be addressed independently.
Structural isolation refers to sound waves travelling through physical mediums, the surface upon which the turntable rests and its base. If you have turntables on a plastic folding table with subwoofers in close proximity to the table, the lack of isolation will cause the stylus to jump out of the groove with every bass drum/sub-bass hit, or cause a constant audible hum/rumble. There are plenty of aftermarket products and creative DIY workarounds for this issue. The most ubiquitous tools for isolation are: vibrapods; isolation mats/platforms; domes/cones/spikes for placing under the turntables feet; and vibration-reducing feet that screw into the turntable body itself.
At smartbar we apply DIY tactics as well as some aftermarket products to address this, and even though the table in our booth is a custom onsite build with isolation in mind, we still practice redundancy concerning isolation. Underneath our turntables you will find Isonoe Isolation System feet standing on top of concrete patio/paving slabs, on top of four well-placed and gaff-taped squash balls. We also have a few sets of vibrapods on hand just in case.
Airborne vibration refers to the sound waves being produced by the speakers travelling through the air and creating vibration or resonance within the turntable body, circuit board, tonearm or at the cantilever/stylus point. This problem will present itself to the listener as mild distortion during playback, or feedback at a higher pitch than that of structural vibration. The biggest factor in creating/reducing airborne vibration is speaker and turntable placement. Adjusting where your turntables are or moving the speakers a bit further away can reduce airborne vibration and the feedback it generates. It could also be that the sound pressure level is too high near the turntables, but good luck telling a DJ to turn down their booth monitors.
Self-generated vibration occurs within the turntable itself and can be caused by the turntable's motor or belt. The motor in the Technics SL-1200 series is magnetic, which translates to no wear on the physical parts and very low self-generated vibration. This design, coupled with dampening in the turntable's body and the motor's high torque and low wow and flutter levels, is what made it an industry standard since its introduction to the market in 1972.
It's the attention paid to the design and construction of the turntables motor and body that really defines most direct drive turntables made for DJing. Many higher-end audiophile turntables will feature a motor that is completely independent of the turntable body. The energy generated from the motor will be passed along by a belt or band. While this is great for high fidelity playback, belt drive turntables do not have the torque required for scratching and cueing records. Don't even ask about a pitch fader; you're lucky if you get three speeds (33 1/3, 45, 78) in this realm.
Making sure that your turntables are level is very important to avoid tracking errors and minimising fluttering during playback. If the left side of your turntable is an inch higher than the right side, the stylus and tonearm will literally be fighting an uphill battle as it tracks the grooves. This can lead to compromised channel balance, slight distortion and uneven wear on the grooves of the record. There are laser levels available for purchase for establishing pinpoint accuracy, but you'll find most industry professionals using bullseye/bubble levels. While it's most important to have the turntables be level at the point where the stylus tracks the record, you will also want to check the platter at a few other points.
Imagine that where the stylus tracks the record is the bottom right of an X and proceed to make sure the other three arms of the X are also level. Place the bullseye/bubble level on the slipmat close to where the stylus would initially drop and again towards where the innermost grooves would be. Repeat this process for each arm of the X. You can shim where needed underneath the turntable's feet to get as close to level as possible. If you do not have access to a bullseye/bubble level, any six to 12-inch spirit level will work in a pinch. While you will get close to level, you don't achieve true level unless your name is Rick Sanchez.
Visual motor check
Again, we are foregoing the use of any electrical measuring meters here, as many people may not have access to them or do not know how to properly read/use them.
Pretty much every turntable that is made for DJing has visual components on the unit itself to check the zero point and +/- adjustment of the pitch fader. The components are normally one small light (strobe) and a series of strobe calibration patterns (dots/lines/bars) along the side of the platter. On the Technics SL-1200, the strobe is the red light underneath the on/off switch, and the calibration pattern is the four lines of dots on the side of the platter. When the pitch fader is at zero, the largest dot on the side of the platter will hold still during rotation. Once you have confirmed that the zero point is in fact the zero point, you can begin to move the pitch fader towards the +8 peak. As you move the fader closer to you, the largest set of dots should begin to move forward. The rate of rotation should increase smoothly in conjunction to with how you move the fader. If you notice a second zero point, an elongated zero point, a sudden jump or decrease in platter rotation speed, or see the largest strobe dot appear to move in reverse, then there is a motor issue that needs to be addressed, and this turntable should not be used.
If you do not observe any issues and see a smooth increase in platter rotation speed in accordance with your adjustment of the pitch fader all the way to +8, then congratulations are in order. You now get to repeat this process three more times: once at 33 1/3 RPM while decreasing the speed, once at 45 RPM increasing the speed, and finally again at 45 RPM decreasing the speed. If you have not seen anything other than smooth increases/decreases in speed at both RPMs, then the turntable has passed this check.
Sound check (signal and isolation)
With a record on the platter, plug the turntable's RCA cables into the phono section of a DJ mixer. Keeping the volume down, connect a fully-assembled headshell, cartridge and stylus to the receiving end of the tonearm. Turn on the turntable, press the start button and drop the needle on the rotating record. Even with the channel volume down, you should see audio information registering on its meter. Slowly turn up the channel volume and listen attentively for any issues in audio quality, tonal balance and channel balance and try to resolve them. We are basically doing an initial test here to make sure the physical information on the record is being converted into audio. Channel balance issues can be further addressed with azimuth, which we will get to. Right now we want to make sure everything is functioning. You'd hate to go through all aspects of set up only to find out that your tonearm wires or RCAs aren't working properly.
Once you have established that the turntable is sending audio, turn on the house speakers and then turn up the monitors and the house. Make sure your turntable is properly isolated and if there isn't any feedback present, move on. We will now begin to dial in the turntables for optimal sonic quality and performance.
Overhang and cartridge alignment
If you hold the headshell over the spindle in the centre of the platter, you'll see that the stylus reaches past the spindle. The distance the stylus goes past the spindle is called "overhang." Setting this properly is crucial to proper tracking and minimising distortion in the higher frequencies. The correct overhang is determined by the turntable manufacturer, and the standard for Technics is 14mm. On a Technics SL-1200, the distance from the back washer of the headshell/cartridge to the stylus should be 52mm. There are some affordable and easy-to-use tools out there that help you to set the overhang very quickly. You can get overhang gauges at most record stores or online retailers—having one will greatly simplify your turntable set up. It is hands down the fastest and easiest way to measure and set the proper overhang.
If you don't have access to an overhang gauge, a little more work will be in order. If you have a cartridge rather than a headshell mounted system, you don't need to check overhang as these cartridges come set up from the factory. This would be the case with Shure Whitelabel or Ortofon Concorde series carts. The other way to set overhang is by using a cartridge alignment protractor. There are many protractors available but the most common are the Baerwald, Loefgran and Stevenson. There are others that are manufacturer specific. You can also print protractors from various websites but it's crucial that they're printed to the correct scale. Since these protractors also help us properly align the cartridge body, we will be setting both overhang and alignment simultaneously. The protractor will have two null points, which are perfectly tangential to the grooves. You want to make sure that your stylus drops in the centre of both these null points. If this isn't happening, the overhang is too long or too short, which means you'll need to loosen the mounting hardware that holds the cartridge body onto the headshell and adjust its position in the headshell until the stylus sits in the centre of both null points
With the overhang set and the screws connecting the cartridge to the headshell kept slightly loose, you can align the cartridge. A properly aligned stylus and cartridge body ensures playback clarity, creates stereo balance and stops premature wear on your records. Setting the alignment is fairly simple. There's a grid on the protractor surrounding the two null points mentioned earlier. Align the front and sides of the cartridge body to the lines on the grid, while also paying attention to the orientation of the stylus and cantilever. You may need to twist the cartridge a bit in the headshell to achieve the best alignment to the grid. You will want to check on the alignment by looking down on it from above. Once aligned as flush to the grid as possible, the cartridge may not be parallel to the headshell—this is fine. Having set the overhang and the cartridge alignment properly, you may now very carefully tighten the mounting hardware. Recheck the alignment and overhang once you have tightened the screws as it may have shifted in this process. If you check the null point and the grid after tightening the hardware and have no issues, then these have been set properly.
Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA)
The correct vertical tracking angle is important to achieving the best possible sound and reducing wear to your records and stylus. We are trying to get the tonearm parallel to the platter so that the stylus tracks the record at the same angle that the cutting head was at when the master plate was made. The cutting head used to be at a 15 degree angle but the introduction of stereo records changed it to 20. Your stylus will already be set to 20 degrees but the wrong VTA will alter that. There's a large ring with a number gauge and the words "height adj" at the base of the tonearm. This raises and lowers the tonearm, which is how we set out VTA.
Again, in order to keep the stylus at the 20-degree angle, we need to make the tonearm parallel to the platter. Rotate the turntable so that the tonearm is close to you. Place a medium thickness record on the platter, drop the stylus on the record and bring your eyes down to the level of the tonearm and platter to inspect the angle of the tonearm in relation to the record. If the tonearm appears to angle downwards towards the stylus, then the VTA is too high. This will compromise audio quality and produce tracking errors. Adjust the height of the tonearm by moving the height adjust dial in the needed direction. You will need to check again that the tonearm is parallel to the platter.
The next step is to make sure the height of the tonearm is equal at the cartridge end and the base of the tonearm. You can do this by placing a ruler on the plinth and making sure the height of each side is equal. Use the height adjust dial to get the measurements as close together as possible. Once you these two measurements are equal or very close, you have established the proper VTA.
Vertical Tracking Force (VTF)
Vertical tracking force refers to the amount of weight applied to the stylus from the counterweight at the back of the tonearm. This force helps align the cartridge's internal generator assembly. If the tracking force is too light, you'll lose bass frequencies. Too heavy and you'll overload the suspension. Both will affect playback and performance, plus too little force will generate more wear on your records over time. The correct VTF is determined by your cartridge/headshell manufacturer. You'll find the correct weight in the manual, which usually falls between two and three grams. Otherwise the information is readily available on the internet and a quick Google search should have you on your way.
The next step is to balance the cartridge. This is done by holding the tonearm over the platter and decreasing the counter weight until the tonearm begins to float above the record. You want this to be as close to parallel as possible. Once the tonearm is floating, place the tonearm in its rest, lock it into place and set the dial on the front of the counterweight to zero. Be careful to avoid adjusting the weight itself.
The suggested tracking force of a Shure M44-7 is 1.5 to 3 grams. Turn the weight to somewhere in the middle, let's say 2.3 grams. Drop the needle on the record and begin to play it while listening attentively. Is there bass missing? Are you hearing distortion in the high frequencies? Can you back cue the record without it jumping the groove? If any of these issues occur, your tracking force is too low and you need to add a little bit more weight. It's important to remember that a low tracking force can wear out your records and compromise sound quality. Sometimes the counterweights are a little inaccurate but a digital stylus force gauge can get you a perfectly calibrated VTF. However, it's crucial to rely on your ears.
Azimuth refers to the angle of the stylus relative to the grooves of the record. Ideally the stylus should be perpendicular to the grooves. An orientation other than 90 degrees will affect audio quality, stereo image and shorten the life of the stylus. People often make the mistake of paying more attention to the cartridge body and not the stylus when adjusting azimuth. There is a dedicated piece of equipment to measure and optimise azimuth (Fozgometers). But for everyone's sake, we will move forward as if there isn't one available. There usually isn't.
Some turntables require dismantling the tonearm to adjust azimuth. Fortunately, Technics SL-1200s do not fall in that category. To adjust azimuth, start by locking the tonearm into place and removing the headshell/cartridge. Once removed, you will see two slots where the cartridge locks into the tonearm. Using anything with a true right angle––speed square, protractor, ruler, credit card––place the object on the turntable's plinth and line it up with the two slots at the receiving end of the tonearm. The slots at the end of the tonearm end should be at a 90 degree angle to your bank card or ruler, although a slight counter clockwise lean is OK. If the angle is off, loosen the two screws hiding under the tonearm and behind the cartridge/headshell. The screws are size 0 Phillips heads; you will need an L-shaped arm to reach the screws. With the L-shaped arm and Phillips head attachment, gently loosen the two screws. Now adjust the receiving end of the tonearm until the slots line up with the right angle. Tighten the screws back up and connect the headshell/cartridge to the tonearm.
You will now need an older mono record or a stereo test vinyl to continue the azimuth check. With the record on the platter, place the stylus on the grooves of the record and look at it head-on. You should be able to see how the stylus is oriented in the groove. We're looking to get as close to perpendicular as possible. If you can see that that is not the case, lock the tone arm, remove the headshell/cartridge and repeat the previous process until you have achieved the 90 degree relationship between stylus and groove. Once you have visually checked this you can move on to the audio check.
Place the mono recording or stereo test record on the platter and begin to play it. The mono record has an equal left/right channel balance. By panning the output on the DJ mixer and listening attentively for discrepancies in channel balance volume, you can determine if the azimuth is off. If the right channel is louder than the left then your azimuth needs to be adjusted further. If you have a stereo test record, play the left or right test track. Most of these records will announce which channel has audio output before they begin to play a test tone. Once the test tone is played, listen for any crosstalk on the channel that is not supposed to be sending an output. If you hear no audio on the opposite channel then you have achieved the proper azimuth. If you hear crosstalk or a volume discrepancy with the mono record, then further adjustments need to be made. If you have a decibel meter available, this is also a good way to put a number on the output of each channel individually as you test them.
Anti-skate might be the easiest part of setting up a turntable. It's usually a one-dial control near the base or pivot of the turntable and it will normally have a printed gauge on it. Anti-skate counters the force created by the rotation of the record and platter, which wants to draw the stylus in towards the centre of the record. The rule of thumb is that you set your anti-skate to the same number/weight as your VTF and adjust accordingly. Anti-skate directly relates to proper tracking, so if you set your anti-skate to the same weight as VTF and are still experiencing tracking errors during playback and backcues, then you need to increase the anti-skate. One test I like to do to check proper tracking and anti-skate is to use the blank side of a one-sided record as a gauge for tracking. Place the stylus on the blank record and begin to play it. If the stylus is drawn inward, then adjust the anti-skate until the movement inward has disappeared completely and the stylus is holding steady. Once the stylus is tracking the blank record your anti-skate is properly set and you can move on.
Sounds and scratch check
OK. Wow, we're at the end. Everything should be in order at this point and now we just want to make sure we are sounding as clear as possible and that the records are tracking properly. Grab a record that you are very familiar with, preferably one with a decent dynamic range and maybe some noticeable panning going on. Play it and listen very attentively. Close your eyes and really zone in on what you're hearing. Are the higher frequencies bright but not distorting? Is the mid-range clear? Are the bass frequencies present in the way that you know them to be on this particular record? Are the right and left channels balanced and can you tell when an element of the track is panned in a certain direction? If you answered yes to all these questions, then your turntable is good to go.
Now grab another record, preferably a battle tool or acapella, and go into your best fake DMC championship routine. Don't worry about the techniques being applied right now—you just want to make sure that the turntable could perform properly for someone who does in fact know how to scratch. If you can do your best impersonation of DJ Swamp in '96 without any tracking errors then you have set up your turntable properly and it is ready for any performance.

Kybella® Houston
Over time, fat can collect under your chin or submental region. This fullness can make you look older or heavier than you actually are. If you are bothered by fat under your chin and you don't want to have a surgical procedure such as liposuction, KYBELLA® may be the perfect treatment for you.
KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin to improve your profile. KYBELLA® is also being used off-label to treat pockets of fat in the axilla, medial knee, lower abdomen, love handles, and banana roll (back of the thigh beneath your buttocks).
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected in the fat under the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin.
Who is a good candidate for KYBELLA® injections?
Anyone looking to decrease the amount of fat under his or her chin (or other small pockets of fat), but wants to avoid a surgical procedure, may be a good candidate for KYBELLA® treatment. During your consultation, Dr. Sato will evaluate your medical history and examine your areas of concern to determine if KYBELLA® is a right for you.
What happens during KYBELLA® treatment?
At each treatment you will receive multiple small injections under the chin (or other treatment area) and the injection process takes 15-20 minutes (topical numbing cream will be applied prior to the injection and will add ~25 minutes to the treatment time).
How many KYBELLA® treatments will I need?
Treatments are given 1 month apart and you should not receive more than 6 treatments total to the same area. Depending on the amount of fat present in the area being treated, you may require 2-6 treatments (In clinical studies, 59% of patients received 6 treatments).
How long do the results of KYBELLA® last?
Once destroyed these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
What can I expect while recovering from KYBELLA® treatment?
Common side effects of KYBELLA® include: swelling, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness in the treatment area.
Many patients find comfort in wearing a compression garment to help with the discomfort and swelling.

Rescue dogs inspire community as therapy pets
PUBLISHED: 10:30 20 July 2018
Archant Norfolk 2018
Two much-loved pets have made the transition from rescue to therapy dogs.
Todd and Peggy belong to mother-of-two Hannah Colbourn, 38, from Norwich, and have been making quite an impression on their community.
The pair haven't had the easiest start in life - Peggy is an eight-year-old crossbreed adopted from Dogs of Portugal in 2017.
When Peggy was rescued she was neglected, with a large mammary tumour, a cyst on her neck and an injury to her tongue.
Todd is a seven-year-old retired greyhound adopted from Yarmouth Greyhound Homefinders in August 2016.
They are both now registered Pets As Therapy dogs.
Pets As Therapy (PAT) is a national charity founded which aims to enhance health and wellbeing in the community through the visits of trusted volunteers with their behaviourally assessed animals.
Todd has been a PAT dog for just over a year and Peggy qualified this year.
Mrs Colbourn said: "I couldn't be more proud of them.
"Todd brought so much joy into my family's life that we wanted to share him with those who would benefit the most and so applied as Pets As Therapy volunteers.
"He has since built up a huge fan base and visits three schools in the Golden Triangle - Avenue Junior and Recreation Road Infant where he listens to children read, and The Parkside School where he socialises with children with acute additional needs.
"He has also been cuddled by stressed out UEA students and by children affected by bereavement through Nelsons Journey.
"He was specifically requested to work in conjunction with a psychologist treating a dog-phobic child and has already been booked up for reading sessions at both Earlham Library and the Millennium Library in the summer holidays.
"He is in such high demand that I often feel like his PA!"
Peggy recently visited Heather Avenue Infant School in Hellesdon and helped her owner give a talk to a group of girl guides.
She said: "There is a huge waiting list of schools and care homes who would love a visit from a PAT dog but there simply aren't enough volunteers.
"If anyone thinks their dog might be suitable and would be interested in volunteering please visit The Pets As Therapy website for more information."

Rewritable card printing technology, somewhat unknown but very useful!
Rewritable card printing technology, somewhat unknown but very useful!
Rewritable card printing technology, how does it work and why is it so useful?
Card Supply is increasingly being asked about the rewriting technology that our ScreenCheck ID Card Printers offer. We hope to inform you about this by writing an item about the possibilities of the rewriting technology.
Choose for rewritable cards when the cards are use temporary and need to be reset and reprinted. Think of specific temporary card details of a membership card, visitor's pass, student card or customer card. The use of a rewritable card is cost effective, flexible and environmentally friendly. Rewritable PVC cards can be reprinted up to 500 times, without using the printer ribbon.
In addition to direct-to-card printing, the card printers SC2500, SC4500 and the SC6500, also include the flexible rewritable card printing technology.
Rewritable cards have one glossy side for color/monochrome printing and a rewritable side with thermochromic finish printing blue or black. The thermochromic material can be reprinted up to 500 times. For example, with the SC4500 and SC6500 you can print a color design on one side of the card. Then remove the print ribbon to use the rewrite function and manual feed slot every time you want to print, delete or reprint information in blue or black.
How does the rewriting of a rewritable card work?
The ScreenCheck Card Printers with rewritable print technology do have a print ribbon but is not used for printing on the rewritable surface. The heating and cooling process required for rewriting is made possible by the thermal head in the printer. At the front of the printer is a manual feed slot with which a card can be printed, deleted and printed again. A rewritable card can be printed and erased by heating the thermo-sensitive material on the surface.
The rewritable passes are an innovative idea, the cards provided with a special matt material becomes visible when heated to 180 °C. The same material also reacts at a lower temperature by becoming invisible between the range of 110-160 °C. So the plastic card with the thermochromic material can also be erased by heat and reused.

Being Unfaithful has become a norm in our society of today and hence,it seldom baffles me when I come across videos,pictures or publications these days which shows married couples found wanting on issues relating to this. The cases of promiscuity,especially in marriages has escalated in recent times and one cannot continue to to pretend not to be aware of this development that continues eating deep into homes like corruption eating into the economy of a third world country.
To start with,Promiscuity is an act involving indiscriminate mingling or association,especially having sexual relation with a number of partners on a casual basis (A definition from Google search). From the definition, I personally wouldn't have a problem or lose a sleep over unmarried people who are promiscuous (Religious wise,this is also a sin,however, I'd love to make this article 100% secular).When this scandalous act involves married people,then there's a need for a clarion call to orderliness because,with marriage,it is a different ball game where oaths are taken on holy fronts and vows are expected to be both sacred and respected.
My attention has been drawn to a particular story I received via whatsapp on Monday,13th of March,2017 of a man who had been happily married for a long time with a perfect wife and three kids as his children(so he thought),he however found out that two out of the children weren't his when he had an opportunity of moving to the United States with his family after winning the visa lottery and the DNA result showed only one of the children as his. Bad enough,the story went on to reveal the other two children had two different fathers!!!!Yes,you heard me right. Would this have happened if the woman in question wasn't promiscuous?Absolutely Not!!!
The African way of thinking favors men being unfaithful in their marriage and walk away scot free without stigma of any sort but the opposite is the case when it comes to the women who are tagged 'disgrace to womanhood' at every slight opportunity to cast a stone at them. This should not be so,Promiscuity should be treated as totally forbidden and unacceptable regardless the gender involved. I refer to the comment of a friend while discussing this issue on a Whatsapp group page who said 'I'm glad more women are cheating now because men feel women too don't get tempted to cheat'.This to me is simply good riddance to bad rubbish as an eye for an eye would only leave the world with blind people.
A friend suggested that married men should do their homework well when it comes to lovemaking to their wives(explore during sex,last longer,do everything to please your woman even if she requests oral sex). A woman once said in a seminar 'my husband isn't sexually proficient,he just lies on me,cums and that's it'. From the trend,we see that most cases of promiscuity in marriages arises from the incapability of one of the spouse to spark up a good sexual prowess during lovemaking.But then the question arises,what about married people who has a great sexual life and still cheat? One cannot over emphasize the importance of good sex in marriages,but then,what happened to those times where love was simply enough for one to be committed to their marriages regardless the deficiency of a good sexual life?
Staying faithful in marriage has become an uphill task in our world today for some of the following reasons;
Refusal/failure to draw a line between and opposite sex when married.
Temperament(Sanguines,phlegmatics,Cholerics…this would be extensively discussed in the next arrticle).
Lack of communication at home.
Peer pressure(Bad company corrupts good manners).
Desire to explore(especially when motivated by things seen on TV these days).
Finally,to curb and drastically reduce the incidence of people raising children they thought to be theirs,i suggest there should be a law that enforces doctors and other medical practitioners to carry out DNA tests of a father and the child immediately after delivery.This,to a very appreciable extent will reduce the rate of sexual indecency and promiscuity in marriages.
Remain Blessed

LOC Families,
- The LOC Talent Show on May 9th was a great success! Thanks to Mrs. Denniston and all the staff, students, and parents who contributed to the enormous talent on display
- On May 2nd, LOC Board members met with IC School Board members and ICCSD Staff to continue the conversation regarding our program's termination, the investigation that was promised and overall lack of communication taking place. Our concerns were voiced directly and a second meeting took place on May 10th. Superintendent Murley sent a follow-up email yesterday to the Lucas community.
- It seems our efforts to advocate for LOC and our staff may have helped the district moving forward with other BASPs, but we were unable to change course once the official request for proposals for new programs went out. Contract approval for a new BASP was added to the ICCSD School Board agenda yesterday, and Champions will be taking over as the Lucas on-site BASP.
- Many of you have enrolled in LOC for next fall. We will be moving across the street to the River Community Church to continue as a before and after school provider – Lucas Off Campus. We hope that you will choose to continue with our program, our staff, and our effective model of programming for a successful transition. Our program partners (UI Nursing, Iowa Children's Museum, etc.) will also continue with us. We ask that you complete a survey that will go out this week regarding future participation as soon as you can. More details to come.
- The LOC Board is working on hiring new director which will be announced ASAP!
If you have any questions, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Training Tip #2: Follow the Three C's
The trick to becoming an effective alpha is to follow the "three C's." When training, you always want to remain:
- Calm
- Consistent
- Clear
Don't yell at your dog when he misbehaves. At the same time, don't go completely overboard with praise when your dog follows simple commands. You want your dog to follow commands because he understands what type of behavior is expected, not because he always expects a treat or reward.
Remain consistent in your training. Don't let your dog get up on the furniture when he's clean, but scold him if he tries to jump on the same piece of furniture when wet or dirty. Don't feed him from the table when he begs at certain times but then scold him at others. Deep down, dogs want to learn how to behave. They'll be confused and act out if the training is inconsistent.
Be clear with your commands. Simple one-syllable words should work well in most cases. "No" for negative behavior and "Good" for positive behavior are simple enough for even young dogs. Also, use the same terms for the same behaviors. Labradoodles are usually highly intelligent dogs. As training continues, they'll likely be able to understand a variety of more complicated commands. But when your dog is first learning, keep your words clear and simple.
Training Tip #3: Visit a Professional
You'll have to do a lot of training at home. After all, you're the Alpha. But you don't have to train your dog completely on your own. A professional dog trainer can be an invaluable help.
You can ask your vet or your dog's breeder for trainer recommendations. Many retail pet stores will also offer training classes. The age limit will vary by class but generally you can enroll a puppy at around 12 weeks of age.
There are two major benefits to these types of classes:
- You can learn what to do at home. There's no shortage of information on how to train a dog. But learning in person, with your dog, is often the most effective.
Think of it like a yoga class. You can watch yoga videos and read instructions online, and then try out the moves in the privacy of your home. Or you can go to a class where someone will show you how to specifically do the moves, with your personal situation in mind.
A dog training course will also have plenty of homework. You'll learn training techniques in class which you'll later work on at home. In a quality course, you'll likely learn as much (if not more) than your pup!
- This is a great environment for your dog to learn proper socialization. You and your dog will be in an unfamiliar place around unknown dogs and people. At the same time, this is a structured setting where puppies can safely interact.Your dog can quickly learn to be comfortable around new people, places and animals. This comfort will grow over time, too. The earlier you can start socialization, the better.
A socialized dog will be able to play in the dog park, hike in the woods and more. Trips to the vet and groomer will go smoother as well. Labradoodles were actually originally crossbred to be service dogs, so they generally take to socialization quickly.

On 9 November 1952, the first ever UK singles chart was compiled for the NME, to feature in its 14 November edition. Nominally a Top 12, it comprised 15 singles because if two of them shared equal figures the publishers didn't skip the position below. It was collated from the charts provided by 20 shops in London, but took an average instead of totting up all the sales. At any rate it was a reflection of the buying public's shift from sheet music to tangible discs.
The first UK hit parade was dominated by American artists – 10 of them – with only three Brits getting a look in. Mind you, one of them was Vera Lynn, with three entries, still getting mileage out of hymns to Forces sweethearts. At the coveted original No.1 spot was Al Martino (pictured below), who later appeared in The Godfather playing Johnny Fontane, the chap all that horse's head unpleasantness was about. Elsewhere, budding entertainer Max Bygraves got a look-in, taking the piss out of country and western star Frankie Laine who appears twice himself, and there was still room for bona fide legends Doris Day, Bing Crosby and Nat 'King' Cole. Taken as a whole, even from 1952, it's like the soundtrack to every 40s romance you've ever seen.
So without further do, pop pickers, here's the toppermost of the poppermost. Ahem.
12Johnnie Ray, 'Walking My Baby Back Home'
Poor old Johnnie Ray. Sounded sad upon the radio, broke a million hearts in mono. Natalie Cole went one better and broke them in stereo with a 'ghost' duet of the song with her late dad Nat 'King' in 2008.
South East London boy Max's hit was a comedy medley of western numbers 'The Cry Of The Wild Goose', 'Riders In The Sky', 'Mule Train' and 'Jezebel'. The Goon Show's Eric Sykes chose it as one of his Desert Island Discs. That'd be a tough lifetime.
American tenor Mario was later immortalised in plasticine in the early Kate Winslet movie Heavenly Creatures. It's what he would have wanted.
Vera Lynn became the first overseas artist to top the US charts with this one, unwittingly paving the way for One Direction. It would be come the biggest seller of the year.
The second of three singles in the debut chart for Dame Vera, truly the Rihanna of her era.
A traditional polka adapted by South African folk singer Josef Marais, 'Sugarbush' was a duet between two of the biggest stars of the day. Laine was smitten: "Doris was a great performer with warmth and expressiveness. It was one of the most pleasant recording dates I ever had when we sang together." His thoughts on Bygraves are unknown.
Orchestra leader Martin was born in Austria in 1918 but moved to England in his youth and became a bit of a war hero, joining the Intelligence Corps and booking bands to entertain the troops. And pop stars these days whinge about a few gigs.
The theme song for the movie 'High Noon', would you believe, although the original was sung by rhyming slang legend Tex Ritter.
We're unlikely to forget Vera. She's bloody everywhere.
This Curley Williams standard has been covered as recently as 2006 by happy-go-lucky rhythm and blues jester Van Morrison.
The lucky-starred Mitchell was married to Playboy model Elsa Sørensen, Playmate of the Month for September 1956. You remember the one.
'The Isle Of Innisfree' was recorded by legions of artists and featured as the theme song for John Ford movie The Quiet Man. Its writer was polymath Irish policeman Dick Farrelly.
Another jack of all trades, surveyor Sammy Gallop wrote the lyrics for 'Somewhere Along The Way'. You needed several strings to your bow in the early years of the charts.
Jo Stafford had the big hit, but the definitive version of the song is surely Vonda Shepherd's take in Ally McBeal. Surely.
Reflecting his later role in The Godfather, Martino was forced to go on the run after the Mafia bought out his management contract in the mid-50s. He holed up in England but returned in 1958 with a Mafioso pal oiling the wheels.
And here's the full chart as a Spotify playlist:

Hey Nonny Adds Outdoor Seating for Brunch and Dinner
Local Arlington Heights bistro Hey Nonny is preparing for the summer season with outdoor seating and free concerts. The bistro and live music venue opened in the heart of downtown Arlington Heights in late 2018 and is emerging as a neighborhood favorite.
Hey Nonny plans to add 22 outdoor seats outside the venue across from Harmony Park, which will be available in the evenings and for weekend brunches. The dinner and brunch menus feature seasonal dishes using locally sourced ingredients. On the weekends, the venue hosts a bluegrass brunch every Saturday and a jazz brunch every Sunday with food served from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and live music from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
On select Friday nights, the Village of Arlington Heights hosts a Sounds of Summer concert in Harmony Park. After the concerts, Hey Nonny will keep the party rolling and open their doors for a free evening concert.
"We're very excited to be adding outdoor seating for the warm summer months," said co-founder Chris Dungan. "Not only can our diners enjoy the dining al fresco, but they can listen to live music on Fridays during the Sounds of Summer concert series."
"We couldn't have asked for a better location, especially in the summer," said co-owner Chip Brooks. "Because so many concerts, festivals and events take place right outside our door, Hey Nonny is a great place to drop in for a meal or creative cocktails. We can also open our windows, so our guests can listen to the summer concerts as they enjoy their meal."
Hey Nonny is a bistro and music venue located in the heart of downtown Arlington Heights. The bistro serves an array of farm-to-table entrees and small plates conjured up by Chef Jay Ruff. The menu changes on a regular basis to feature seasonal items sourced from local Midwest farm suppliers. The music venue hosts live music six days a week, featuring the best Chicago and touring acts playing jazz, blues, country, folk, and rock.

A small round field of native grasses is criss-crossed and matted by wildlife trails, surrounded by a forest of oak and hickory. But in wetter seasons, this field is not a field. It's a pond — a globally rare sinkhole pond at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Shenandoah Valley.
Mount Joy Pond and the 274-acre tract surrounding it is one of 63 preserves created and managed by the Virginia Natural Heritage Program.
The Natural Heritage Program, a division of the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2016. To mark the occasion, free guided walks will be offered in October at nine of the natural area preserves in its system.
The Natural Heritage Program's mission is to conserve Virginia's biodiversity through inventory, protection and stewardship. "Much of this we do through the preserve system," said program director Jason Bulluck.
That process began 30 years ago, when the Commonwealth of Virginia partnered with The Nature Conservancy to launch the program. Heritage programs were a Nature Conservancy initiative, led by science director Robert Jenkins. Virginia was the 43rd state to embrace the program.
The first task was to inventory Virginia's natural communities and species, said the program's first director, Michael Lipford. "We started with one computer, four staff and rolls of paper topographic maps in an old Xerox copy room in a state office building in Richmond."
In 1989, the state assumed full management of the program, officially directing the team to create and maintain a database to help conserve and manage the habitats of rare, threatened and endangered species; significant natural communities; geologic sites; and other natural features in Virginia.
During the last 30 years, the staff has documented the locations of more than 8,800 rare species and habitats, which includes 36 new species and more than 300 not previously known to exist in Virginia. They have reviewed more than 60,000 projects for their impact on important species and habitats, and a host of professionals from home and abroad have consulted the program database to learn about biodiversity in Virginia.
Conserving land for habitat protection is equally important. More than 55,600 acres are protected through the natural heritage preserve system.
To protect the biodiversity of these special places, public visitation is limited. Only 21 of the preserves have basic amenities to support hikers or paddlers.
"These are the preserves that can handle passive recreation, and where we have room to put in parking," Bulluck said.
The visitor-friendly preserves typically have small parking lots, kiosks and sometimes a canoe and kayak launch. Visitors are warned about the lack of restrooms, garbage cans and cell phone coverage.
But the rewards on the other side of the gates that say "foot traffic only" are opportunities to experience some of the best examples of important natural communities that can be found from the shores of the Chesapeake Bay to the Appalachian and Allegheny mountains.
Visitors to the Savage Neck Dunes preserve on the Eastern Shore, for example, can walk among some of the highest sand dunes in Virginia that provide habitat for the federally threatened northeastern tiger beetle — and the path to the beach passes through a globally rare maritime woodland. (See the related article, Little-known Savage Neck Dunes has pines, ponds and privacy.)
On the Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Mathews County, the bright, long strand of sand at the Bethel Beach preserve is another place to spot the tiger beetle, as well as some of the 185 bird species that have been observed there.
Some preserves have boardwalks and observation decks, like the Cumberland Marsh preserve along the tidal freshwater portion of the Pamunkey River and the Bush Mill Stream preserve along the brackish headwaters of the Great Wicomico River.
The boardwalk at New Point Comfort preserve overlooks Mobjack Bay with views of the water birds sustained by its marine resources. The forest and marsh are great locations for observing neotropical songbirds during migration.
Goshen Pass, a preserve in Rockbridge County, consists of 937 acres of steep, heavily wooded forest on the northeast side of the gorge where the Maury River cuts through the mountains. Trails traverse the steep topography above and along the river, where patches of a rare freshwater cordgrass (Spartina pectinata), a predominantly Midwestern species, have taken hold.
The challenge is to balance public access with the program's mission of conservation. The guiding principle for all preserve guests, no matter how low-impact a visit might be, is to "leave no trace."
Many of the program's preserves are not promoted for public access. These sites have no parking, restrooms, trails and, in some cases, no access without trespassing on private property. They are managed first and foremost for the protection and study of biodiversity, but visits can be arranged through one of the preserve managers. Contact information is on the program's website.
Mount Joy Pond is one of these less-traveled preserves. The unique geology and seasonal inundation at sinkhole ponds like the one at Mount Joy have provided a niche for several rare plant species that have evolved to take advantage of the unusual habitat. Mount Joy Pond boasts one of the world's largest populations of the globally rare Virginia sneezeweed (Helenium virginicum).
Adam Christie, preserve manager at Mount Joy Pond, is puzzled as to why this sinkhole pond is dry in early fall. Historic photos show the pond full of water even in September. But recently, instead of water, Christie found a family of bears lying in the middle of the field where the pond should be.
To understand what's happening, Christie has installed a series of test wells across the dry field.
As a forest ecologist, he knows that the surrounding forest can affect the water level in the pond. "We'll do some selective trimming and some prescribed burns," Christie said, trying to return the habitat and hydrology that scientists say has existed for the last 15,000 years.
Christie is among a program staff of more than 40 biologists, zoologists, ecologists, information specialists and analysts who work both in the office and in the field.
Maintaining current information is labor intensive. "When the data become historic — over 25 years old — we stop using it for decisions and sharing with our partners," said program director Bulluck. Development and changing land use patterns have altered the landscape in Virginia, he explained, "so we have to verify that these occurrences still exist."
With more than 8,800 records to maintain, the division uses computer modeling techniques to predict to within 90 percent certainty where a certain species might be found. Modeling has led scientists to previously unknown occurrences of the rare shale barren rockcress (Boechera serotina), as well as Virginia sneezeweed.
The Natural Heritage Program also partners with master naturalists who have been trained to look for specific species in places that program scientists have been unable to visit. These skilled amateur naturalists are combing Virginia for species like the Swainson's warbler and helicta skipper. Their efforts have helped the program verify the locations of swamp pink, purple milkweed and Parker's pipewort.
Over the years, the threats to Virginia's biodiversity have changed.
"Our biggest threats have been habitat loss and invasive species. But now it's also climate change," said Tom Smith, deputy director of operations for the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation and former director of the Natural Heritage Program. "A lot of our protection is focused on making preserves bigger — to protect against encroachment by invasive species from the edges and to pick up as much elevation change as we can."
Protection of these lands is only the start. Management of the preserves is never-ending work, important for biodiversity as well as for people. "Being able to see and experience these functioning ecosystems helps connect us to our own heritage," Bulluck said.
Guided preserve walks in October 2016
In honor of its 30th anniversary, the Virginia Natural Heritage Program is offering guided walks at nine of its preserves on Oct. 22-23. Walks take place on Oct. 22 at The Cedars (Lee County); Goshen Pass (Rockbridge County); Crow's Nest (Stafford County); Dameron Marsh, Hughlett Point and Savage Neck Dunes (Northampton County); and Chub Sandhill (Sussex County). Walks on Oct. 23 are scheduled at Pinnacle (Russell County) and Bald Knob (Franklin County).
The guided walks are free, but pre-registration is required. Details and registration will be available at dcr.virginia.gov/natural-heritage/thirtyyears or by calling 804-786-7951.
For a full list of preserves with details about options for public access year-round, see dcr.virginia.gov/natural-heritage/natural-area-preserves.

Hello Racers, here is a new TEST PATCH : 0.6E5
You can read about LFS development in the main forum :
This test patch is fully compatible with version 0.6E
You cannot upload hotlaps made with this test patch because it is only a test patch, not an official patch.
Please keep a backup of your LFS.exe from 0.6E so you can easily go back if there are any problems.
Changes from 0.6E4 to 0.6E5 :
Improved stereoscopic 3D support, including experimental Oculus Rift support.
Three 3D modes are available :
- TV / monitor / projector
- Conventional 3D headset
- Oculus Rift
Each mode has different characteristics.
- TV / monitor / projector mode - it is important to set your horizontal screen width, measured in mm. Not the diagonal, just the horizontal measurement from one side to the other. This, in conjunction with the interpupillary distance, should set the image up properly if you set the FOV to match the true horizontal view angle between your eyes and the TV edges. The virtual eye positions are affected and the centres of the two images displayed on the screen are offset by the same distance so the horizon appears to be in the distance.
- Conventional 3D headset - also has an interpupillary distance slider but in this case it only affects the virtual eye positions. I still have not coded compensation for the use of wider FOV angles than actually available. So if you use wider FOV than the true horizontal FOV of the device, you will still see exaggerated depth.
- Oculus Rift - this will try to load a DLL and connect to your Oculus Rift and from there it will get the interpupillary distance and other values, and head tracking should work. It's not supposed to be finished but should basically work. I'd be interested in your comments about the experience and how it compares with other games.
TEST PATCH 0.6E5 (ZIP FILE) (if you already have 0.6E) :

I called my PCP's office on 12/27 to schedule an appt for the following week. When I described my symptoms, I was transferred to a triage nurse who told me I needed to go to the ED or urgent care. Every urgent care in town had at least a 3 hour wait – in a mid size city with many urgent care options. So off to the ED I went, even though I knew the chances of it being anything serious were almost zero. Why? Because I had already hit my deductible and wouldn't have to pay a penny of what turned out to be a $3,300 bill. If it had been January 1 you can bet I wouldn't have even considered going to the ED – $3,300 is much more than I'm willing to pay for peace of mind.
EPtalk by Dr. Jayne 1/2/20
Regardless of what holidays you celebrate, everyone is impacted by medical offices that are closed and healthcare facilities that are running on modified schedules this time of year.
I'm in the middle of a streak of clinical shifts that have at times reduced me to a mound of quivering jelly. Influenza is definitely on the rise and I'm starting to feel like my mask is permanently attached to my face. Our urgent care group saw nearly 2,000 patients on December 26, breaking our city-wide record. Many patients reported trying to get in touch with their primary care physician only to find the office closed, with some offices being closed until after the new year.
Seeing a 20% bump in volumes, the IT side of my brain always wonders about scalability of the solutions we use. I'm happy to report that the EHR held up like a champ, but viewing radiology images in the PACS was another story entirely. Load times were running up to two minutes, which seems like an eternity when you've got a full house and need to know what's going on with your patients' films.
One of my patients happened to be an imaging rep, who asked how we were holding up this time of year. It was nice to see someone who understands that there are many factors behind keeping an office running, although he was less than amused that we couldn't send his records to his primary physician.
As an independent organization, the large health systems in town aren't too keen on sharing data with us even though it would mean they receive our work product as well. Just another example of information blocking that isn't a vendor's fault. In the meantime, I take full advantage of the features within Epic that allow me to access patients' charts for a short time with their permission.
My operations brain is always challenged by these high-volume days. They make me wonder what "the system" could do differently to better manage these patients. Although many of those we saw had acute conditions that needed urgent treatment, like influenza or pneumonia or lacerations, many of them could have been handled by a nurse triage line or other lower-acuity situation.
Quite a few patients hadn't tried any self-care, not so much as a decongestant or an over-the-counter cough medication, even though they were relatively young and healthy and didn't have any reason to be concerned about medication interactions or worsening of chronic conditions. Several had been sick for less than a day. My favorite presenting issue of the day was, "My throat started with a tickle a couple of hours ago and I just wanted to see what it was." This shows a lack of health literacy, even in the relatively affluent area in which I was working. What could we as a healthcare system do to serve these patients better?
I've also been able to put my telehealth hat on this week, due to a spike in volumes in my state. I only do telehealth visits sporadically since I don't hold a lot of different state licenses. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of patients who weren't specifically seeking antibiotics – who just wanted to make sure they were doing everything possible to treat their condition, or wanted validation of their treatment plan because they were making slower than expected improvement.
Back in the clinic the next day, I also saw the dark side of some virtual visit care as patients came in for face-to-face visits after having been prescribed medications that seemed unrelated to their symptoms. I saw three patients from the same physician who were each a bit concerning. It sounds like her practice has recently started using functionality within Epic that allows for patients to have billable asynchronous visits, and perhaps she isn't in the swing with the fact that just because a visit is virtual doesn't mean you don't have to follow the standard of care. Maybe she doesn't know the antibiotics she is prescribing aren't indicated for the condition being treated, but there's no good way to try to address that professionally when we see it.
Our volumes continued throughout the weekend, with record-breaking numbers of visits at several of our locations. I encountered a couple of primary physicians and one psychiatrist whose offices were not only closed during the holiday weekend, but also who had no after-hours coverage. Even other physicians received no response when trying to reach them. In my state, that's tantamount to patient abandonment, and I hope those patients have some difficult conversations with their physicians (or perhaps soon-to-be-former physicians) about being left hanging.
I also heard some complaints from patients who just don't feel like their physicians listen to them. It's not only complaints about looking at the computer instead of the patient, but also complaints about physicians pushing additional procedures that are unrelated to their care plans. One patient showed me the brochure from her pulmonologist who was offering cosmetic Botox injections. These are just a small sample of the patients who wind up in the urgent care, where they're trying to make up for whatever they're not receiving in their usual setting of care, if they have one.
Santa must have been very good to a couple of patients, who presented with ICD codes in the F12 series: cannabis-related disorders. Cannabis-induced palpitations was one of the conditions, and I would have loved to have simply typed "lay off the weed" in my care plan. Somehow "reduce or eliminate cannabis use until cleared by cardiology" just doesn't seem as festive. Nor does "your risk of recurrent vomiting would be lower if you stopped using marijuana." These are the things they don't tell you about in medical school, that one day you might find yourself dealing with in an exam room.
On days like these, I long for the relative lack of excitement found in a good lab interface build or some of the other work I do in my informatics practice.
For those of you who worked around the holidays, what kinds of adventures did you have? Any great stories? Leave a comment or email me.
Email Dr. Jayne.

The match blog has a dedicated blog for each match. All members are welcome to start a match blog. For general blogs use the blog page
Never mind what happened last Wednesday night with the 3-0 defeat against Barcelona and we should forget about it at the moment. This is a big game at St. James Park and depends on the selections what the Gaffer has to put out here between a Rock (Newcastle) and a Hard Place (Barcelona Second Leg). This is a huge headache selection and my guess the team would be:
Gomez Lovern VVD Robertson
Henderson Fabinho Wijnaldum
? ? Mane
I could only name 9 players from a guess line up with a prediction but like I said we're between a Rock and a Hard Place (great song by the Rolling Stones). Rafa will not make it easy and will do anything to beat us in this encounter. We're in a shit place at the moment at this point and best of luck Redmen.
