In balancing her newfound power with her desire for justice, Tracy fights to dethrone the reigning Miss Teen Hairspray, Amber von Tussle, and integrate a TV network in the process. With the help of her outsized mom, Edna, and guest DJ, Motormouth Maybelle, the rhythm of Tracy's new beat just might prove unstoppable! HAIRSPRAY JR. is filled with a host of parts for a wide cross-section of students and an abundance of energetic production numbers. ~ RATED G

That was post-treated using compounds. While this does enhance the durability, post-processing glass doesn't attain the identical amount of integrity, which makes it a decent choice to Borosilicate glass. The PEI sheet is going to have a protective blue plastic covering either side, where you could go right ahead and eliminate these today. Align the base of the PEI, with that side facing the glass.
Bending the PEI in a small angle, begin with placing the sheet in tiny segments and pressing out any air bubbles before going forward. There is A best budget 3d printer 2019 glass mattress the best choice when Quality is about tolerances. It's about a Hottest of all extruders. Sheets much simpler. Offered in several sizes to match all types of 3D Printers, just put in the Magnetic Base in addition to the present print bed as well as the FlexPlate with connected BuildTak sheet will invisibly link.
Following a 3D Printing is finished in the best two sheets readily slide off in the print bed and also using a twist the component releases . Glass is your most powerful and most lasting option. It's exceptional thermal shock resistance and reduced thermal expansion, in which it's made by replacing one of those compounds in regular glass using nitric oxide. These are excellent attributes for 3D printing software, in which the glass will be exposed to changes in temperatures. Aiming for a print bottom.
Not just that, it is remarkably simple to eliminate prints out of glass (giving your mattress was clean before the printing ). But rely on it chipped. It is always quite flat (because of the method by which in which the manufacturing process works). In case temperature fluctuations can be endured by a glass plate as high as Lot of things also, but tolerances and precision are important.
Whenever your 3D printer is placing layer after layer of filament to form your print, then it is quite helpful if the space between the extruder and mattress is equal for the whole layer. Your printer plate isn't flat. It made from aluminum and, even if fresh, is bowed toward edges or the middle. This is the character of aluminum. BuildTak is a favorite all purpose 3D mattress surface. It functions as a sheet having a glue back. Just peel off off the film and stick it.
Glass comparison is only window glass Taking it around 100-110C for printing ABS Shouldn't Be a Furthermore glass such as silicate can Problem, but you're going to need to prevent sharp changes in temperatures, and needs to be careful your prints do not stick too well: I have had PLA/PETG prints extract bits of glass together as a result of force necessary to eliminate them out of the build plate.
You may want to try with no (or hardly any ) glue first, and ensure that your nozzle is not too near the construct plate. You can utilize a glass mattress. But very similar to coating adhesion issues lacked warmth, you might have problems having your print to adhere to the mattress — even with adhesive or hair spray. While I do not advise using a glass printing coating if your mattress isn't heated, it's surely feasible to achieve that.
Harm through printing usage would be impossible if utilizing the Round the 3D printing community, in Reality, the joke goes Tape to dull the edges. You may simply use a credit card your fingers or another instrument as long if doing this as it won't harm the PEI surface. Lots of people prefer printing directly on glass since it's not difficult to eliminate your printing when leaves and done a great glossy finish on the base of the 3D part. You should be certain that the glass is clean.
Utilize some Windex on it. Prints with sections might be pulled off. Garolite is a laminate like the substance used for creating circuit boards. There are various kinds of gasoline and ones are specially suited for printing Nylon filament. No mattress heat is needed on this surface. Typically, no additional chemicals are essential, although a tiny glue stick might help on event. PEI movie comes stock on printers. It works with ABS PLA, and other 3D substances.
It makes it effortless for novices to begin printing when they choose their machine from the box. But for printing harder (i.e. big ) items we advocate using distinct bed surfaces suited especially to the 3D plastic you're printing with. Taking away the print is really a cinch Following the glass mattress and your print have chilled. No tireless scratching, saving you time and effort whilst reducing the probability of damaging the printing. It's basically a solid's ability to withstand changes in temperatures during cooling or heating system.
Your glass mattress will quickly cool or heat as soon as your heated mattress is triggered, once the intruder comes into intimate touch with all the printing surface, or any time a print finishes at a cold atmosphere. Therefore, it's important your mattress not burst with temperature changes. Glass can maintain temperatures that are high thanks to its own That eliminating a print out of a glass platform is really simple your print dangers sliding your own glass mattress together pumped.
The glass needs to be resistant. When subjected to changes in temperatures, A glass plate which will shatter or crack wouldn't be excellent for 3D printing. You would like a glass which construction when warmed up to 200 °F and plunged into 40 °F of water and will keep its form. Durability is referred to as shock resistance, and it goes a very long way in making sure a glass plate stays usable for a protracted period. Picture frame glass (normally float glass) will operate nicely.

To S. Weir Mitchell With the Affection and Memories of All My Life
To the Reader
You know the great text in Burns, I am sure, where he wishes he could see himself as others see him. Well, here lies the hitch in many a work of art: if its maker poet, painter, or novelist could but have become its audience too, for a single day, before he launched it irrevocably upon the uncertain ocean of publicity, how much better his boat would often sail! How many little touches to the rigging he would give, how many little drops of oil to the engines here and there, the need of which he had never suspected, but for that trial trip! That's where the ship builders and dramatists have the advantage over us others: they can dock their productions and tinker at them. Even to the musician comes this useful chance, and Schumann can reform the proclamation which opens his B flat Symphony.
Still, to publish a story in weekly numbers previously to its appearance as a book does sometimes give to the watchful author an opportunity to learn, before it is too late, where he has failed in clearness; and it brings him also, through the mails, some few questions that are pleasant and proper to answer when his story sets forth united upon its journey of adventure among gentle readers...

(Reuters) – Romania's Simona Halep downed big-hitting American Madison Keys 6-4 6-2 to reach the last four at the Wuhan Open in China on Thursday and clinch a place at the season-ending WTA Finals.
Halep faces Czech Petra Kvitova, who romped to a 6-3 6-4 victory over Britain's Johanna Konta, in the semis, while Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova meets Slovak Dominika Cibulkova.
Kuznetsova survived a match point to beat world number four Agnieszka Radwanska 1-6 7-6(9) 6-4 in a thriller and Cibulkova edged Czech Barbora Strycova 6-3 3-6 6-4 in another tight duel.
Fourth seed Halep twice battled back from an early break before finding her rhythm, helped by Keys' 24 unforced errors, to wrap up the match in just over an hour.
Halep joins Germany's world number one Angelique Kerber, who was knocked out by Kvitova in the last 16 in China, and Serena Williams at the WTA Finals in Singapore.
"It means a lot to qualify… it was one of my goals this year," said Halep. "It will be my third time in a row competing at the WTA Finals and I hope I play great."
Kvitova, who made 24 unforced errors, had to rely on her powerful service game, which included seven aces, as Konta failed to break during the 1-1/2 hour encounter.
Kuznetsova again got the better of Radwanska, having lost just once in eight meetings with the Pole, as she came back from a set down to win a near three-hour battle.
Cibulkova gave a gutsy performance to beat Strycova after both players turned out for both their third round and quarter-final matches on Thursday after rain affected Wednesday's play.
After completing a 6-2 6-2 upset win over fifth seed Karolina Pliskova in the first match of the day, Cibulkova was back on court for the last one against Strycova, who earlier claimed a 1-6 6-4 7-5 comeback win against Jelena Jankovic.

Investigators are still working to identify suspects after an aspiring funeral director was found murdered in her Ohio home last week.
Rachael Anderson, 24, did not show up for work on Jan. 29 at the Shaw-Davis Funeral Home in Columbus and her body was found by police later that day.
The Columbus Police Department did not immediately respond to comment, but Sgt. Dean Worthington told WKBN last week that "we don't know exactly what happened" or "what caused her death." An investigation is ongoing.
An autopsy was performed last week, but the results have not been released, according to the station.
"From here, the homicide detectives will wait for the coroner's office to determine the cause of death and, of course, they'll continue to look for any witnesses and suspects that may be out there," Worthington told the station last week.
Most Read
Anderson studied at Youngstown State University and attended mortuary school. She earned her mortuary science degree in 2016, according to her obituary.
"To know Rachael was to love Rachael," her former employer PJ Macali told WKBN. "She was just a beautiful soul and she would do anything for anybody. She came to work here every day with a smile on her face and she left here every day with a smile on her face."
"She was a free spirit and she blessed us in so many ways!" read her obituary, published by the station. "We may have only had her for a short time but she made a lasting impression and she will never be forgotten. Let's celebrate her life! Sing, dance, hug your family and friends! That's what she would have wanted!!"
Her burial took place Tuesday morning at St. Mary Church in Warren, where she was born.
She died one day after her birthday.

As a biologist, I've always been interested in epidemiology of disease, and as a zoologist, particular those that originate in wild or domestic animals. And so there has been quite a bit to keep up with regarding the zoonoses of the past few decades.
And so the Wuhan Coronavirus is something I'm following daily, more to see how the medical staff inside the ambulance are dealing with the patient than to chase the ambulance. This is a study, more than ever, of how national medical systems around the world communicate and cooperate, as well as a revelation of how a generally science-illiterate world populace adjusts their thinking and their behavior in light of the level of risk where they live.
And towards the end of keeping up, no great surprise, I have a "ledger" of facts and opinions worth noting, in my digital clipboards (plural, since I use several methods of grabbing and organizing stuff.)
Recently I've become interested in spaced repetition learning and tools that make that so much easier than distant-yesterday's "flash cards." And one tool of note is still in fairly early development. I had a video call a month or so ago with the very young and helpful developer of RemNote (take a look) and am hoping to interest the rising students in our family in this (or this kind of) tool.
I only this morning poked the button that tells me I can share the "narrative" version of my notes. I could share the "testing' version as well, in which case every phrase on either side of : becomes question (on side one) and answer (on side two) of a "rem" card for periodic study.
So click on the Blue Button below for my "pertinent facts" gleaned from a very current very informative NYT article that you can consume in 90 seconds. You're welcome.

The speech that changed a nation
Dr Martin Luther King Jr's 'I Have a Dream' speech is one of the greatest speeches of the 20th Century.
August 28 marks the 50th anniversary of that brilliant piece of oratory which paved the way for equal rights for African Americans in the United States -- and continues to be relevant in a world woefully short of giving equality to all.
'To other countries I may go as a tourist, but to India I come as a pilgrim.'
Profoundly influenced by Mahatma Gandhi, Dr Martin Luther King Jr pointed this out on his only visit to India in 1959, four years before he delivered the 'I have A Dream' speech' -- considered as the pinnacle of his many oratorical achievements.
On that visit, Dr King stayed at the Sabarmati Ashram, home to the Mahatma for 18 years, and met Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
At the Martin Luther King National Historic Site in Atlanta stands a bronze statute of the Mahatma, the first to be installed on federal land in the United States.
Like Gandhi, Dr King never held political or public office. He was a preacher and civil rights leader demanding the end of discrimination against African Americans and is America's leading moral icon.
Revered and respected by Blacks and many Whites, his birthday is commemorated as Martin Luther King Day and is a national holiday. His memorials in Atlanta and Washington are historic sites.
On August 28, Barack Obama, America's first African-American President, will deliver a speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the same site where Dr King gave the 'I Have a Dream' speech.
Obama -- no mean orator himself -- and his speech writers have a tough task to match those magic words delivered 50 years ago!

Dr King was the youngest at that time to receive the Nobel Prize
The dream that Dr King spoke of in that famous speech in Washington that summer day -- among the first to be telecast via satellite on television -- resulted in the passing of the landmark Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts by the American Congress.
At a time when Blacks were forced to face segregation in schools, public transport, jobs etc, the acts banned discrimination in public places and in employment.
It gave Blacks the right to freely exercise their vote, a far cry from when they could be lynched for just trying to register to vote.
Four decades later, in a realisation of that dream, America elected its first Black President.
When Barack Obama was sworn in for his second term, he took the oath of office on the Bible used by Dr King.
Obama also keeps a framed photograph of the 1963 March on Washington, where Dr King as the last speaker at the gathering, delivered his famous speech.
A year after the 'I Have a Dream' speech, Dr King was awarded the Nobel Prize at the age of 35, the youngest recipient at that time.

A defining moment of King's legacy
Around 250,000 people marched to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington in their demand for jobs and freedom on that beautiful August day.
Dr King, it is said, finished the text of the speech only that morning. While the written text was inspiring, it was what Dr King said extempore that made the speech memorable.
'Once that spontaneous inspiration took hold, King shifted forcefully into his voice as a preacher, rather than just a public speaker, and for the first time a national American audience was exposed to King's real sermonic power,' wrote David J Garrow in an article 'King: The March The Man The Dream in American History magazine in 2003.
The speech with its towering ideals that transcended nations and peoples was the crowning moment of that rally -- and the March to Washington became defined by Dr King's Dream.

'I have a Dream' continues to be relevant today
Dr King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was just 39 years old.
His funeral was attended by over 100,000 mourners.
The previous day, while Dr King was campaigning on behalf of strking sanitation workers in Memphis, he had said this in his final speech:
'Like anybody, I would like to live a long life -- longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over, and I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land..'
The US is observing a week-long celebration of the historic speech, starting with a March to Washington last Saturday, August 24.
On Wednesday, August 28, former US Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, both hailing from the American South, will join President Obama to mark the anniversary.
The ceremony will be beamed live across the world, reminding us that Dr King's Dream continues to remain relevant in a world still very short of giving equality to all who live here.

Playlists empty after a few days/weeks
Horace posted a topic in Bug ReportsHi All, I've got this problem: Poweramp keeps on wiping all the content in my playlists. Why does this keep happening and is there anything I can do to prevent this? It takes a lot of time to create playlists and it's beyond frustrating that the lists are empty after a few days or weeks. Setup: Nvidia Shield TV, with Full Android (custom rom), a NAS that contains my music files (30.000+), NAS is mounted as a local folder so Poweramp can see and play the files. Poweramp alpha-build-703-play (Full Version) I've tried Playlist Backup to be safe, but Poweramp can't open those backuped playlists. So that's useless as well. On my tablet and phone I can only use Poweramp for local files, since someone (at Google?) has decided that mounting a NAS as a local folder on Android is a no go. And will future builds of this app have the capabilty to play from NAS and FTP? I've noticed that there is not really one music app for Android that works totally fine, all of them have some annoying flaw. Neutron Player can play from NAS & FTP (no mounting needed), doesn't wipe my playlists, but it takes minutes to add a song to a list and it doesn't scan all the songs. JetAudio can't play from NAS even though they say it's possible now since a few months, when trying to connect to my NAS, I get this message: Acces is denied and on my phone (files on sd-card) the playlists were also wiped before. Kodi: it can handle video files from NAS or stream them easily, but music takes forever and making a playlist is nearly rocket science and it take ages. I start to believe that Android really sucks for music playing and that it's much better to buy a Windows tablet and a NUC for the tv or am I doing something very wrong?
How Poweramp music player destroyed my life.
Jamestune posted a topic in Feature RequestsI am now a social outcast and a figure of fun and derision by my peers. All my friends have deserted me and the girl I love detests me. All because of Poweramp. Let me tell you this tale of woe. I was a an extremely cool party which was amazing. I was in trousers so tight I could scarcely bend my legs. My beard had been combed through and bouffanted. The girl of my dreams who I had a huge crush on was there. Now I being known for my sophisticated and ultracool musical tastes was asked by the host if I would play some tunes through the sound system of the party. Naturally I was delighted a perfect chance to impress my crush. I excused myself to make sure all humiliating and embarrassing music tracks had been deleted from my phone. Just in case, you can't be too careful, there was too much riding on this. So there I was in the bathroom discreetly deleting early 90s boy band albums, the Spice Girls. Cheesy novelty hits etc. From my android phone using Poweramp. It was very relieving to see the Poweramp confirmation telling me those deletions were permanent. You are probably sensing the tragedy that was about to befall me, little did I know then. Then my moment of expected glory came. My phone packed and ready with the most Uber cool bleeding edge bands, it was going to be hipster heaven. I try to play it cool as I connected my phone into the Bluetooth sound system amp and tapped to play, random would do nicely. I casually hipster walked to the part of the room where my crush was sitting getting the odd nod and back slap for my impeccable music taste. Me and this girl had started talking about music and bands. And then out of the blue to my absolute horror, the unmistakable notes of "Achy Breaky heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus started to play. At first I was confused, had someone hijacked the sound system, then I realised the awful fact it was playing from my phone. I heard mutterings around me as I desperately scrambled to pull the phone out my pocket, damn these tight jeans. Without a moment to lose I swiped the next track, Spice Girls, shit, another desperate swipe at last something cool. I looked up and this girl's eyes said it all, I had been found out has been a musical fraud, people were laughing by now. I could not take the humiliation I left the party as quickly as I could. Since this terrible mortifying moment, I have been a social outcast I have been mocked and ridiculed by my peers. And the girl I fancied thinks I'm a joke. I write this here as a terrible warning don't let what happened to me happen to you. I since found out, that after upgrading to KitKat that it is harder for apps to delete music files off the SD card. And this was the cause of my doom. My request is this: Dear Poweramp developers, could you please make an update so I can delete music files from the app again like you could before. I would be enormously grateful. PS. The above story is actually fiction but I thought it would amuse you. But it could have happened, it could :-) James

Recently, a surprising number of people have been asking me the question "why should I sign in to Linkedin?" With a whopping 120 million members and more joining every day, it definitely holds the position as a leading professional social network worldwide.
Simply put, Linkedin is a must for your professional future, whether you are a job seeker, happily employed, an entrepreneur or a consultant. By not joining, you are letting potential professional opportunities pass you by every day.
After reading the following six fundamental reasons for joining, I hope that every non-member out there will give it a second thought.
1. Personal branding.
Have you Googled yourself recently? If you do, and you have a Linkedin profile, it will usually come up as one of the first results in the search. Therefore putting relevant career information on your Linkedin profile means that you can control what other people see about you. It's the source that most interests recruiters and business people and is probably the easiest way to give a good first impression online. But of course, only if your profile is 100 % complete: those profiles with little or no information, no photo, no activity and few connections are of little value. Focus on filling in all the possible information relevant for your career.
2. Storing your resume online.
How many times have you been approached by a recruiter, potential client or company, asking you to send them your updated resume urgently because they have a project that could be of interest to you? And then you have tried to search for the latest version of your CV, without success, and had to write everything from the start in a terrible hurry? Amongst the other benefits, Linkedin is extremely useful for storing and sharing your professional experience. Your resume is online wherever and whenever you need it - and it's easy to keep up-to-date.
3. Managing and growing your professional network.
After leaving a company, you may still like to keep in touch with your ex-colleagues in the future but the idea of adding them as Facebook friends does not feel comfortable. Nor do you feel like going for a drink with them. In this case Linkedin is everything you need. As its primary purpose is to serve as a professional network, no one thinks it's weird to add a person you worked with ten years ago, even if you haven't had any contact with them since then. It also enables you to get to know new people in a professional way. By asking to be introduced, you can access more people and companies through your 1st level connections. The more connections you have, the bigger group of people you can reach.
4. Building an expert status.
Do you know a lot about your niche, but never had a chance to let the world know? LinkedIn is the opportunity you have been waiting for. One of its main purposes is to facilitate the sharing of knowledge. You can easily build your expert status by posting content and participating in discussions in relevant groups with other people interested in your area of expertise. In the Answers section, you can ask questions and give advice to others in your knowledge area. To further boost your leadership status, you can create your own group in your niche or start a networking event. And the best part? Everyone is interested in what you're saying. Over time, as they start to recognize your name, you will see an increase in professional opportunities.
5. Spying on others.
It's not embarrassing to admit that you are a bit nosy about what's going on with your ex-boss or how the company your friend works for is doing. However in addition to satisfying your curiosity, Linkedin is extremely useful for finding information for business purposes such as background information about the prospective company before your interview, work experience of the recruiter you are going to meet, countries in which the decision maker of the potential client company used to live before and hundreds of other details which make your life easier. As you can access others' profiles easily, even if you are not connected with them, there's a vast amount of valuable information at hand for free.
6. Getting yourself headhunted.
The main purpose of Linkedin is to bring you more opportunities: new career possibilities, new clients and new business ideas. After building a complete professional profile, developing and growing your network and becoming an expert in your niche, add a final touch and ask for recommendations. You can ask for them both from colleagues and from clients and select the ones you want to show in your profile. Recommendations make you credible and more interesting: if there are two candidates or potential partners with similar qualifications but the other one has been recommended publicly, it's obvious which one gets selected.
When Expertise requests and Career opportunities begin to arrive to your inbox, you know that your efforts have started to bear fruit. To create a profile, go to http://www.linkedin.com/. After it's done, you are most welcome to add me to your network!

Comcast-Time Warner Cable Regulatory Review Will Be Raucous
'No one woke up this morning wishing their cable company was bigger'
The proposed $45.2 billion merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable will keep both public interest groups and regulators busy in the coming months. Expect a raucous and drawn-out transaction before regulators make their decision.
Both Public Knowledge and Free Press came out swinging against the deal even before Comcast CEO Brian Roberts got a chance to explain it to investors this morning.
In order to get around regulators at the Department of Justice and Federal Communications Commission, Comcast said it is "prepared to divest systems serving approximately 3 million subscribers," bringing the merged entity's share of subscribers just below the 30 percent target threshold.
But complicating the review is the fact that Comcast is far more than just a cable company. Public Knowledge pointed this out in its statement warning that the combined company would have "unprecedented gatekeeper power" in several markets.
"It is already the nation's largest ISP, the nation's largest video provider, and one of the nation's largest home phone providers. It also controls a movie studio, broadcast network, and many popular cable channels," said John Bergmayer, senior staff attorney. "An enlarged Comcast would be the bully in the schoolyard, able to dictate terms to content creators, Internet companies, other communications networks that must interconnect with it, and distributors who must access its content."
The FCC, which has a public interest mandate, is likely to look at the impact the deal will have on consumers.
"No one woke up this morning wishing their cable company was bigger or had more control over what they could watch or download. But that, along with higher bills, is the reality they'll face tomorrow unless the Department of Justice and the FCC do their jobs and block this merger," said Free Press president and CEO Craig Aaron. "Americans already hate dealing with the cable guy, and both [of] these giant companies regularly rank among the worst of the worst in consumer surveys. But this deal would be the cable guy on steroids, pumped up, unstoppable and grasping for your wallet."
No one in Washington thinks the deal review will be easy; Comcast could be in for a rough ride. Even though the courts have thrown out the FCC's 30 percent national subscriber cap, regulators could still stretch out the review of the merger and extract numerous conditions, echoing the conditions imposed on Comcast-NBCU in 2011. The FCC for example, might impose net neutrality or other conditions on carriage deals. In the end, regulators could impose "gimmes" so onerous, the deal falls through.
Comcast knows regulatory review will be tough. The company's investor call was telling, beginning with making its case to regulators first, investors second.
"It will not reduce competition in any relevant model. We don't operate in any of the same zip codes," said Comcast CEO Brian Roberts.
As a sop to regulators, Comcast emphasized it will divest assets to go down to the 30 percent cap, even though the courts tossed that FCC regulation twice in the past.
The deal, said David Cohen, Comcast's evp and chief regulatory front man, is "pro consumer, pro competitive, strongly in the public interest and is approvable."
Cohen reminded investors that the company is still under the conditions of its merger with NBCU and that those conditions, which have another four years to go, "adequately address any competitive concerns and offer significant public interest benefits." For example, even though the court threw out the FCC's no blocking and no discrimination open Internet rules, Comcast agreed to follow those rules so they would also apply to the Time Warner Cable footprint. Another condition is Comcast's commitment to expand broadband to low-income Americans by offering affordable $9.95/month service. Comcast has already connected one million households through the program.
"This is not that complicated a deal from a regulatory and antitrust perspective," Cohen stressed. "It presents fewer issues than Comcast-NBCU did. It may sound scary, but when you parse it, you end up with a deal that has 30 percent of the marketplace…. We're only adding a modest 8 million customers to the portfolio."
Comcast-NBCU took 13 months to earn approval from regulators. Given the uproar this deal is likely to cause, Comcast may be optimistic that it can close on Time Warner Cable by the end of the year. During a conference call with media, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts said he expects the review will take nine to 12 months.

REVIEW: Klipsch's X10, X5 Headphones Deliver
Speaker manufacturer Klipsch makes a bunch of great-sounding headphones. One of their best features was that they plugged right into the strange headphone jack on the original Apple (AAPL) - Get Report iPhone.
Now, the new iPhone 3G has a universal headphone jack. But Klipsch is still my top choice to plug in ... especially true of its brand new Image X5 headphones.
I've been using Klipsch's top-of-the-line X10s for months now. Aside from being the most comfortable in-ear headphones I've ever used, the X10s are some of the most amazing-sounding in-ear headphones I've ever used. You have never really heard massively deep bass through headphones until you've experienced X10s. They sell for $349, and in my book are worth every penny.
Now, Klipsch engineers have developed the X5s -- price wise, the X10's little brother.
The X5s are slightly (2 mm in diameter) larger than the X10s. That makes them easier and somewhat less expensive to manufacture.
Don't worry, the X5 is still really, really small, compact and lightweight.
According to Klipsch, the real difference between the two is what's inside each earpiece:
"X5 employs a balanced full-range armature driver with a tuned bass-reflex system, while the X10 uses a balanced full-range armature micro-driver with a tuned bass-reflex system. (That means the X5's inner workings are a little larger). If you like a lot of bass, we recommend purchasing the X10; however, if you want a superior top end with more forward voicing, then the X5 is the right choice for you. "
As for my take: The X5s and X10s sound similar, but not exactly alike. The X10s, as I mentioned before, provide stentorian bass. The X5s don't reach as low, but let you hear deep bass nonetheless.
As for the midrange tones (where most voice and music exist) it's a pretty close tie. The X10s might be just slightly more accurate in frequency response -- but the X5s are almost their equal -- and in some cases provide a little more punch and a subtle detail boost to voices, brass and woodwinds.
As for the highs (cymbals, and overall airiness of sound), it's close to a dead heat, with the X5s being a tiny bit more extended.
The X5s sound fantastic after only 100 hours or so of use. I've found that Klipsch headphones sound their best after a few weeks of use and breaking-in -- the treble smoothes out and becomes even more extended.
As for comfort, there's none better. I find I can keep Klipsch headphones in place longer than any others I've ever used -- and believe me, after an hour ride to work (each way) on a New York City subway -- comfort is just as important as sound quality to me. It probably is to you, too.
If you primarily listen to the best-quality, uncompressed portable music files (WAV or Lossless formats), I would go with the X10s. If you prefer lesser-quality compressed files (Windows Media, iTunes, MP3) the X5s might be a better choice.
The new Klipsch Image X5s come with a carrying pouch, a two-prong airline adapter, five sets of different-sized ear gels, and a cleaning tool. X5s have a retail price of $249.99 and will be available at select retail locations and klipsch.com. As a bonus, purchasers who complete an online warranty registration will receive a free package of replacement Contour Ear Gels in the size of their choice.
The X10s, and now the X5s, are highly recommended.

Avengers: Age of Ultron may feature Vin Diesel as the robot called Vision, and that may be a bad idea.
When I heard the combined news that the sequel to the blockbuster Marvel film would have Ultron in it and Vin Diesel may be playing Vision, I looked some things up and was immediately filled with dread.
Vision is a member of the Avengers, a robot invented by Ultron who apparently went rogue when he encountered The Wasp and was convinced to fight alongside the team. As previously reported by The Inquisitr, Ultron himself was created by Hank Pym, a character who, like The Wasp, might not even be introduced until Marvel's "third wave." Ultron himself is surrounded by a storyline that will need to be changed drastically in order to work in Avengers: Age of Ultron, unless Ant Man and The Wasp are only in their human forms at this point.
The dread I felt came from the parallel I drew to the casting of fellow tough-guy actor Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze. Vin Diesel may be a great guy and all, but the idea of him playing a major comic book super hero, especially in Avengers: Age of Ultron, just doesn't sit right for me. Of course, he might surprise me and end up being perfect for the role, like Chris Evans did with Captain America: The First Avenger.
Vin Diesel has always struck me as the kind of actor who has to play the lead role, aside from the one he played in Saving Private Ryan. It's hard for me to believe he can stay in the background and just play along as someone else takes control. Schwarzenegger couldn't do it in Batman & Robin, and he practically ruined what was left of the film.
To Vin Diesel's credit, though, he never relied on one-liners and over-acting to steal the show. As also previously reported by The Inquisitr, Vin Diesel says he feels guilty playing the role that made him famous, Riddick. This tells me he's willing to work outside his comfort zone to play a role, but unfortunately, he doesn't appear to have much range.
I hope Vin Diesel can prove me wrong if the rumor is true that he's playing Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron. It just seems like a bad idea.
What do you think of Vin Diesel playing Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron?

The 10 Ceramic Vases You Need Now for Your Spring Flowers
Joann Pan・March 9, 2018
It's official, with Daylight Savings Time on Sunday, spring is right around the corner (kombucha cocktails all around for surviving the chill). That means prepping your humble abode for warmer weather and sunnier days.
Dedicate an upcoming weekend (or two) to spring cleaning, decluttering, and swapping out heavy blankets (and sheets) for lighter layers. Until then, there's one thing you can do ASAP to refresh your pad: Pick up a beautiful, handmade ceramic vase. It's the perfect excuse to fill your home with floral eye-candy.
Incorporating ceramics can make any corner of the home highly Instagrammable. Bonus: it will conjure joy every time you see it. "Ceramics add a handmade, natural feeling to plant designs," says botanic-design pro, Rebecca Bullene, founder of Greenery NYC.
Important note that might save your security deposit: The ceramic vases and planters you're using for fresh bouquets or small plants that need water should be glazed, which is the process that essentially makes the pots waterproof. "If not, you should place a cork mat beneath it to prevent staining on the surface below," Bullene says. Happy arranging!
Earthy vases that complement seasonal blooms, below.

Buy a game region

After setup of your new Xbox One console, you can change your language and location through Settings. A system restart will be required. For more information, see Xbox One system settings. Xbox One will always use your chosen console location. This information gets passed to the Xbox Live service to show the correct marketplace, offers, recommendations, and so on.
For example, if you select France when you set up your console, this gets passed to Xbox Live, and you will see offers and information specific to France. Note Some content and apps may not be available or accessible in some locations. If your console is set to a different location than the one you live in, you may be able to download and install an app from a different market, but you may not be able to use it. That app may be geo-fenced restricted by physical location, not the console setting and may prevent you from playing content from another country or region.
With language and location separated, it's possible to choose a language that is not available in your chosen location. The result will be a mix of languages: your chosen console language for things like headings and buttons, and a "fallback" store language for the names and descriptions of items in the Store. For example, if you choose a location of France and a language of French France , you'll see everything in French. But, if you choose a location of France and a language of Japanese, you'll see most of the screens in Japanese, but some of the Store information in French.
You will be shown information for the location and language set on your console. Your Xbox account locale is not used to show Store information. You can simply change your console language and location anytime you want. Account migration is not required with Xbox One. For example: You move from Germany to France. If you change your console location to France and your language to French France , your entire experience will change from German to French, even though your Xbox account locale was originally Germany.
As long as you have a French billing account and a valid payment option, you will be able to purchase content from the French Store. Note It is important to keep in mind that if you have local currency stored in your account when you switch console locales, you will lose access to that currency.
When you select a supported language during setup of your new Xbox One console, an appropriate voice model will be enabled. For example, if you select French France during initial setup, a French France voice model will be enabled. For a list of voice-supported locales, see Xbox One Feature Availability.
You can change your spoken language in Settings. I can only sign in to my console if my Xbox account locale is for one of the officially supported countries or regions, correct? Not correct. You can sign in to your Xbox One console if you have an Xbox account from any country or region where Xbox account creation is supported.
Note It is important to keep in mind that Xbox Support and warranties are only available in Xbox One-supported countries and regions. For example, if you set the locale of your Windows Phone 10 and your iPad to the French language and the country of France, the Xbox App will be French.
When connected to your console, the Xbox App switches to use whatever language your console is set to use. Does the Xbox One console have to physically be in an officially supported country or region to get system updates? Your Xbox One console can get system updates anywhere in the world, as long as it's connected to the Internet.
In that case, you will not be able to purchase content. You must have a valid billing address and payment option that matches your console locale. For example, if you are in France and set your console location to France, you will see French Store information.
However, if your billing address is in Germany, you will not be able to purchase content because you must have a valid payment option connected to a French billing address. If I purchase a game in one country or region, can I play it in another country or region? However, you would not be able to redownload the game you purchased, as it would not be available for you to download in the Store. What happens if I buy a Microsoft gift card in Germany in euros and add it to my account, and then move to the United Kingdom?
Does it convert from euros to British pounds? Balances are not converted from one currency to another. You must spend the value of the currency in which it was purchased. You will have to buy another Microsoft gift card when you move to another country or region, because the balance you have in one currency will not work in another marketplace. Would you like to contact Support regarding the "Xbox One locales FAQ" issue you were reading about or a different issue?
Skip to main content. Xbox Support Xbox One. Xbox PC Gaming. My account. This page provides answers to frequently asked questions about Xbox One locales. Set language and location. Sign in. Xbox App. System update. Purchase and play. Cash stored value. How do I set the language and location on my Xbox One? During the initial setup of your new Xbox console, you select your language and location.
After setup, can I change language and location later? Is the Xbox One console location different than the Xbox Store location? Will I see the Store in two languages?
What happens if I set my Xbox One console location differently than my Xbox account? Do I need to migrate my account when moving to a different country or region? How is the voice model selected and enabled in Xbox One? For example, customers in Egypt can sign in to their consoles using their Egypt Xbox accounts. How is the locale set in the Xbox App for Xbox One? What happens if my billing address doesn't match my console's locale? There is no playback restriction on games purchased and downloaded.

A regional lockout or region coding is a class of digital rights management preventing the use of a certain product or service, such as multimedia or a hardware device, outside a certain region or territory. For example, if you select French France during initial setup, a French France voice model will be enabled. One of the examples of this is the Windows version of The Orange Boxwhich uses Steam to enforce the regional lockout. After setup, can I change language and location later?

This office for a start-up magazine is located in an old warehouse in Chelsea, NY, formerly owned by Saks department store. The raw industrial space is situated on the fifth floor and its large span of windows provides a panoramic view of the Hudson river.
The design locates all creative functions in the middle area which fosters spontaneous interventions in the open zone along the facade. The request for many separate offices created several large shifting volumes, differentiated through material and texture changes. These volumes form spatial dividers, which distribute light along the industrial ceiling. Through the minimal design concept and the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL use of elements, the space was kept within the low budget range.
The chosen materials [concrete, wood, steel and fiberglass] express the industrial character of the space and provide a natural template. When combined with a deep blue wall and low, olive green concrete elements, the result is a highly contemporary work environment.

Australian unearths 'beast' of a truffle
[SYDNEY] An Australian has uncovered what is thought to be the largest black truffle ever discovered in the country, a 1,511g monster that could also be a world-beater.
Stuart Dunbar said he had known since February that a truffle had been growing in the spot where it was found, but its ripening aroma in warmer weather meant he started digging last Thursday.
He said he had no idea of the size of the fungus as he worked for 45 minutes to remove it from the earth at his property in the state of Victoria.
"It's an absolute beast," he told AFP on Tuesday.
Mr Dunbar said he had previously dug up a "beautiful edible truffle" weighing about 720g but he was not aware of anyone else ever growing such a large black truffle in Australia, or anywhere else in the world.
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
There have been larger white truffles but Mr Dunbar's find appears to have eclipsed a 1,277g black truffle unearthed in France in 2012 and described at the time as the largest ever found in the country's truffle heartland of Perigord.
While the find - reported to be worth some A$3,000 (S$3,090) - was celebrated, it was too big for Mr Dunbar's regular chefs to accept on short notice.
"My regular customers had already taken truffles for the week," he said, noting that once unearthed, truffles are in their prime for just four to five days.
The delicacy grows in the root systems of host trees, where in Europe specially trained pigs or dogs are used to sniff them out.
The finest black truffles have a subtle aroma and an earthy flavour reminiscent of rich chocolate.
Mr Dunbar decided to pickle the truffle in vodka, meaning it remains preserved in one piece.
"It's certainly more satisfying to be able to keep (and show) it, than simply be saying 'I once had a truffle that was...'," he wrote on his blog.

Eidos Montreal has released a live-action trailer for its upcoming title, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, introducing the game's setting and premise. Called The Mechanical Apartheid, it gives us a glimpse of what can happen if technology falls into the wrong hands.
The video above comes with the following synopsis:
In 2027, mechanically-augmented people all over the world suffered from extreme psychotic delusions, lost control of themselves, and started attacking people. Millions died. Hundreds of thousands more were injured and maimed.
In the wake of this global catastrophe, society has become divided by hatred, prejudice, and fear, with many countries now enacting harsh laws. The most notable of these laws is the highly controversial "Human Restoration Act", aimed at isolating "Augs" and keeping them away from "Naturals".
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided releases on August 23 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, complete with a Collector's Edition and Season Pass. For more details 0n that, click here.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Ralph Havis is one lucky guy. He's hit the jackpot three times. The first time, many moons ago.
"She came in and ordered a fish sandwich. The whole time she stood in line, she was smiling. She was just so beautiful, it blinded me. I got her number from someone who knew her. I must have called her 50 times and she'd hang up on me," laughed Ralph, the 73-year-old longtime owner of the "Beef Burger" on Gate City Boulevard, as he remembered the early days with his wife, Alma. "She was my whole world. We took care of each other for 53 years. I never even looked at another woman. Why would I? She blinded me."
Alma died from complications from a stroke in January.
The two used to buy scratch-off lottery tickets for fun. A few years ago, Alma won $150,000.
Monday, Ralph played the same scratch-off game, at the same location and won $150,000.
"I was like, 'Good God almighty.' Alma was my first thought. Always is. I know it was Alma and God shining down on me, I know it was," Ralph said with a tremble in his voice. "I'll be OK, but I'd give it all back with interest if I could have my Alma back."
