Terraria will receive a "massive and free" update on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Vita. Update 1.2 makes numerous tweaks to the console version and adds plenty of fresh content, including four new bosses, additional NPCs, new pets, and "over 1,000 new items."
The console version change log, which the game's official forum notes is "a direct copy from the PC change log with console exclusive changes added to them," notes a few other additions, including new ores, wood types, brick types and the ability to now imbue melee weapons.
Update 1.2 makes a few improvements to Terraria's graphical fidelity as well, making the sun brighter and making midnight in the open world darker. "Hell houses have been remodeled," the change log adds, which is itself a feat considering just how lazy the contractors in hell are.
The complete list of changes detailed on the official Terraria forum, can be found after the break.

Nasrin Rezai is GE's Global Chief Information and Product Cyber Security Officer, responsible for all aspects of cybersecurity strategy and operations for GE products and enterprise, including incident response, threat intelligence, security services, architecture, commercial OT security and regulatory & compliance. Her previous roles include Global CISO for GE Capital and head of Corporate Governance, Technology Risk and M&A security, for the industrial GE businesses. Prior to GE, she served as SVP, Chief Tech Risk Officer in the Enterprise Risk Management Organization at State Street and as CTO of Security at Cisco. Throughout her career, Nasrin has promoted engineering and architecture in designing security solutions for large enterprises.
What was your first job? I was hired as an entry-level software developer at Hewlett Packard [HP] following my internship there.
How did you get involved in cybersecurity? I was working at Cisco in engineering and architecture roles, but I was always looking to find a specialized niche with a broader reach than just technology. I was introduced to cybersecurity as a key differentiator for customers and fell in love with the protection aspect – 14 years later, it's still my fascination.
Tell us about your career path. I started as an entry-level developer, moved into project management, then IT management – not really a detour per se, but I did zig zag into a business leadership role for some time, which was hugely beneficial to me as it helped me broaden my horizons, and helped me understand how businesses need to run. I've been in various cybersecurity roles for about 14 years now.
Was there anyone who has inspired or mentored you in your career? At HP, one of our female leaders took me under her wing and pulled me out of my developer role into technical project management. She said she saw potential in me and she helped foster it by putting me in charge of my first large-scale project, which really kicked off my career growth and gave me the confidence to take on bigger and bigger projects. It's so important for leaders to observe junior talent and look for that untapped potential – sometimes all it takes is a little nudge and someone can achieve great things.
What do you feel is the most important aspect of your job? Most important is to continually mature and up-level GE's cyber capabilities, embed them in GE business practices (the art of cyber risk management), and ultimately enable secure business growth. This is our customers' and regulators' expectation of GE as we continue our digital industrial transformation.
What metrics or KPIs do you use to measure security effectiveness? We measure both lagging and leading indicators across the spectrum — we have goals around risk management, threat detection and resiliency around readiness to make sure it's from the top down. We track critical success measures and initiatives that will close gaps around critical risks.

A new show on Netflix hosted by comedian Michelle Wolf celebrated the murder of babies in the womb.
In its latest episode, "The Break with Michelle Wolf" threw a star-spangled tribute to abortion, as liberals fear Roe v. Wade could be overturned by President Trump's new Supreme Court pick.
Wolf's act included "jokes" claiming abortion is not killing a baby, but instead like going back in time: "Some people say abortion is killing a baby. It's not; it's stopping a baby from happening. It's like Back to the Future and abortion is the DeLorean. And everyone loves DeLoreans. "
She also claimed there's no such thing as someone who is pro-life: "And, I know, some people call themselves 'pro-life'- but, 'pro-life' is a propaganda term that isn't real, like healthy ice cream and handsome testicles."
Abortions, Wolf said, should be obtained as easily as getting a burger off the dollar-menu at McDonald's.
Wolf went on to cheer with a marching band as she threw glitter every time she mentioned abortion:
"Abortion, I salute you!
"Women, if you need an abortion, get one!
"If you want an abortion, get one!
"If you're not pregnant but you think you eventually might be and want to order a future abortion, get one!
"If you're pregnant and you want to be pregnant, don't get one!
"It's up to you, and it doesn't have to be a big deal. It's actually a great deal. It's about $300 – that's like six movie tickets. Movie tickets: a big deal!
"And women, don't forget: you have the power to give life and men will try to control that – don't let them!
"God bless abortions and God bless America!"
Wolf's biggest accolade is hosting the White House correspondence dinner where she made several vile jokes at the expense of members of the Trump administration in attendance.
President Trump will announce his choice to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy's position on the Supreme Court on Monday evening.

There's lots going on around the city to mark RIBA's Northwest Architecture Festival, running from 17-26 June across the region. The shindig is ironically timed, for it marks the opening of (and is, in part, located in) the new Mann Island development.
We've discussed this before. Nearing completion and we've yet to change our minds – we think it inarticulate, inappropriate and – especially it the graceless, leaden hulk of the office block – a quantum leap backwards for our beleaguered waterfront. Still, we're stuck with it.
At least there's something worth visiting it for, thanks to RIBA.
The Exploring Eye: The Photography of Eric de Maré (17 June – 4 September) runs in the public corridor that joins the pyramids to the waters of Albert Dock complex. It's a celebration of one of Britain's most influential architectural photographers, and showcases a poignant collection of Britain's scarred industrial landscapes – and captures that tipping point when Britain veered from strident industrial powerhouse to post-industrial casualty.
It was De Maré's prophetic book, The Functional Tradition in Early Industrial Buildings (1958) which potently suggested how warehouses and mill buildings could serve as an inspiration to architects rebuilding post-war Britain. So there really couldn't be a better home for this exhibition than the Albert Dock.
Robert Elwall, exhibition curator and Photographs Curator at the RIBA British Architectural Library, explains the importance of de Maré: "De Maré 's images made a telling contribution to the post-war reassessment of Modernism through greatly broadening the perception of where 'architecture' was to be found. He gave a new respectability to architectural photography by extending its influence beyond the narrow confines of professional interest. Together these attributes make de Maré one of Britain's most important and influential architectural photographers."
Liverpool – Gateway to the World: Walking Tours
From this summer, RIBA is launching a programme of walking tours aimed at revealing our stories, etched out in the fabric of our city streets. The RIBA guides will lead a walking tour that spotlights key buildings – buildings you probably walk past every day, little knowing the roles they've played in our history – and the spaces that have shaped our past. Should prove to be a fascinating morning's stroll.
Saturdays 10.30am
Sundays 11am
The tours will run from 18 June – 25 September 2011.
Price £7.50/£3.50 unwaged. Pre-booking is essential as places are limited. Call 0151 233 2459.
Alternatively, you can book in person by visiting either the 08 Place or the Albert Dock Tourist Information Centre. Tours begin at the Equator, Mann Island, Liverpool L3 1EN.
With his strident, stripped back and postmodern set pieces, British architect James Stirling was one of our most innovative architects – David Starkey hates him, which we think is always a good indication that he was on to something. On Saturday 25 June, the nineteenth anniversary of Stirling's death, experts will gather at his landmark design, Tate Liverpool (Stirling's only Liverpool building), to discuss the influence of the North on his life and work.
Born in Glasgow, Stirling spent much of his childhood in Liverpool and trained at the Liverpool School of Architecture. The rich urban fabric of Liverpool and the North exerted a powerful fascination for Stirling and had a profound influence on the rich architectural language he was to develop. The debate coincides with a major retrospective.
Saturday 25 June 2011, 14.00 – 16.00

Office Policies
Our goal is to provide quality individualized specialty medical care in a timely manner. "No-shows" and late cancellations inconvenience those individuals who need access to medical care in a timely manner. We would like to remind you of our office policy regarding missed appointments and late arrivals. This policy enables us to better utilize available appointments for our patients in need of specialty medical care.
Cancellation of an Appointment
In order to be respectful of the medical needs of other patients, please be courteous and call our office promptly if you are unable to show up for an appointment. This time will be reallocated to someone who is in need of treatment. If it is necessary to cancel your scheduled appointment, we require that you call at least 24 hours in advance. Appointments are in high demand, and your early cancellation will give another person access to timely medical care.
How to Cancel Your Appointment
To cancel your appointment, please call 715-828-2368. If you do not reach the receptionist, you may leave a detailed message on the voice mail. If you would like to reschedule your appointment, please leave your phone number. We will return your call and give you the next available appointment time. Please note, a late cancellation is considered when a patient fails to cancel their scheduled appointment with a 24 hour advance notice. We will consider each late cancellation a "no-show".
No Show Policy
A "no-show" is someone who misses an appointment without cancelling it in an adequate manner. A failure to be present at the time of a scheduled appointment will be recorded in your medical record as a "no-show". We understand that urgent circumstances could arise that might prevent you from cancelling your appointment ahead of time. As a courtesy, we will not post a charge for a first missed appointment. For additional missed appointments, a $25.00 fee will be billed to your account.
Late Arrival to an Appointment
We understand that even the most organized person can occasionally run late sometimes. If that is the case, call us before your appointment time. We will reschedule your appointment for a time that is better for you. If you are late for the appointment but do not call us, we will likely give your time away to another patient. Patients arriving early, on time, or up to 10 minutes late will be seen in the order they were scheduled. Sick patients arriving 10-30 minutes late will be seen, but will have to wait while we see patients who were on time. Well patients (routine follow up) arriving 10-30 minutes late will be asked to reschedule. Any patient arriving more than 30 minutes late will be asked to reschedule in order to maintain timely care for patients who arrive on time.
Thank you for helping us continue to give the highest quality care. We look forward to seeing you!

Minneapolis Board of Education members want district leaders to ensure equity, transparency and fiscal sustainability as they grapple with a projected $33-million deficit for the 2018–2019 school year.
Board members laid out those priorities at their meeting Oct. 10, less than a week after Superintendent Ed Graff told MPS staff about the projected deficit. The board members voiced support for efforts to decrease the district's growing special education costs and appeared to support Graff's plan to survey the community as his team prepares the budget.
"At this point we've not committed to doing anything other than really trying to explore different areas," Graff said. "This is a process of exploring possibilities around how we would understand what the values are, in addition to addressing the deficits."
The projected deficit comes as MPS deals with a $16.5-million budget deficit for the 2017–2018 school year. District leaders projected last February that the deficit would be around $28 million, which led them to cut school allocations by 2.5 percent and central services by 10 percent.
They plan on covering the remaining $16.5 million deficit with reserve funds.
In a letter to district staff, Graff explained that the district's reserve funds are too low to cover next year's projected deficit and ensure that the district has enough to pay for an unforeseen emergency. That means the district needs to make cuts or reduce expenses, he indicated Oct. 10.
Graff has laid out potential "big ticket" areas for savings, which could include increasing class sizes, reducing the number of school days and switching to a seven-period day for middle and high schools, among others. He asked the School Board on Oct. 10 if they had any priorities when it came to these items.
Some board members talked broadly about values they'd like to see incorporated into the budget, such as transparency, equity and fiscal sustainability. Several said they would be interested in learning more about the potential for savings in areas such as reducing testing, streamlining transportation and reducing the district calendar.
"This is an opportunity to do things differently, and we must do things differently," School Board Member Jenny Arneson said.
Cross-subsidies drive increase
Graff said in his letter to staff that cost drivers for the deficit include enrollment declines, insufficient state support, salary increases, rising fuel, transportation and utilities costs and the underfunding of special education and English learning services.
Underfunding in those two areas forces the district to use about $56 million in operating revenue for special education and $6 million–$8 million for English learning services, according to Chief Financial Officer Ibrahima Diop.
"If we didn't have those cross-subsidies, this deficit would have been taken care of a long time ago," Diop said.
The state and federal governments are supposed to support those costs, especially as they put more requirements on districts, according to a district spokesman. The state, for example, imposed a mandate last year that limited the number of students special education teachers could have. However, the state did not provide any offset for that mandate and the additional requirements, which cost the district $6 million.
District lobbyist Josh Downham told the School Board that $21 million of that special-education cross-subsidy comes from charter schools and other school districts that bill MPS for services they provide Minneapolis residents. The district has to pay those costs without any regard for the cost or quality of the services provided, he said, adding that he hopes for legislative action on the issue.
Overall, Downham said the chances of a significant legislative investment in special education next session are low. The idea, he said, is to set the groundwork for 2019 and beyond.
School Board members appeared to support Downham's efforts to reduce the cross-subsidy. Board Member Nelson Inz said he wished the issue would generate more passion and advocacy from the community.
"If we had adequate funding, a lot of our other problems would be diminished quite a bit," he said.
Board suggestions
Arneson said Oct. 10 that she's okay with Graff's goal of a balanced budget by the 2019–2020 school year. She would also be in favor of exploring steps for a referendum in order to increase revenue, she added.
Board Member Ira Jourdain, who represents parts of Southwest, said he'd like to see how much the district spends on testing and staff evaluations and why students leave MPS for other schools.
Board Member Kim Ellison said she'd be interested in looking at the calendar and assessments and what affect class size has on the district's "high-priority" schools. She added that she's interested in learning why families choose MPS.
Inz said the district needs to be realistic about requirements from the state when it comes to testing. Board Member KerryJo Felder said she'd like to see better programming in North Minneapolis. Siad Ali said he'd like to hear from Graff and his administration about their priorities.
"From there I will know what's good for our students," he said.
Bob Walser, who also represents parts of Southwest, said it was deeply concerning that the School Board didn't have a "global view" of the 2017–2018 budget until a few weeks before voting on it. He said it would be helpful for the public to see the budget laid out in broad categories.
He and several other board members stressed the importance of the district being able to retain students.
Graff said he's hoping to compile information on community priorities by the middle of November.
The district is also in negotiation with its teacher's union and is proposing flexibility in the calendar as part of that process. The MPS calendar is currently 11 days over the state-required minimum, and teacher salaries cost the district $1 million–$1.5 million each day, according to a spokesman.
District leaders and union negotiators are exploring the option of eliminating two days this school year, though nothing has been finalized yet.

Teaneck is a township of Bergen County in New Jersey, United States, and a suburb in the New York metropolitan area. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 39,776,[1][2][3] reflecting an increase of 516 (+1.3%) from the 39,260 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 1,435 (+3.8%) from the 37,825 counted in the 1990 Census. As of 2010 it was the second-most populous among the 70 municipalities in Bergen County, behind Hackensack, which had a population of 43,010.
Teaneck was created on February 19, 1895 by an act of the New Jersey Legislature from portions of Englewood Township and Ridgefield Township, both of which are now defunct (despite existing municipalities with similar names), along with portions of Bogota and Leonia. Independence followed the result of a referendum held on January 14, 1895, in which voters favored incorporation by a 46–7 margin. To address the concerns of Englewood Township's leaders, the new municipality was formed as a township, rather than succumbing to the borough craze sweeping across Bergen County at the time.[4] On May 3, 1921, and June 1, 1926, portions of what had been Teaneck were transferred to Overpeck Township.
Teaneck lies at the junction of Interstate 95 and the eastern terminus of Interstate 80. The township is bisected into north and south portions by Route 4 and east and west by the CSX Transportation River Subdivision. Commercial development is concentrated in four main shopping areas, on Cedar Lane, Teaneck Road, DeGraw Avenue, West Englewood Avenue and Queen Anne Road, more commonly known as "The Plaza".
Teaneck's location at the crossroads of river, road, train and other geographical features has made it a site of many momentous events across the centuries. After the American defeat at the Battle of Fort Washington, George Washington and the troops of the Continental Army retreated across New Jersey from the British Army, traveling through Teaneck and crossing the Hackensack River at New Bridge Landing, which has since been turned into a state park and historic site commemorating the events of 1776 and of early colonial life. In 1965, Teaneck voluntarily desegregated its public schools, after the Board of Education approved a plan to do so by a 7–2 vote on May 13, 1964. Teaneck has a diverse population, with large Jewish and African American communities, and growing numbers of Hispanic and Asian residents.[5]
Early history
The origin and meaning of the name "Teaneck" is not known, but speculation is that it could come from various Dutch or English words, or it could be Native American in origin, meaning "the woods". An alternative is from the Dutch "Tiene Neck" meaning "neck where there are willows" (from the Dutch "tene" meaning willow).[6]
The earliest uses of the word "Teaneck" were in reference to a series of Lenni Lenape Native American camps near the ridge formed by what became Queen Anne Road. Chief Oratam was the leader of a settlement called "Achikinhesacky" that existed along Overpeck Creek in the area near what became Fycke Lane.
A neighborhood variously called East Hackensack or New Hackensack was established along a ridge on the east bank of the Hackensack River, site of a Native American trail that followed the river's path along what is now River Road, with the earliest known buildings constructed dating back as far as 1704. Other early European settlements were established along what became Teaneck Road, which is the site of a number of Dutch stone houses that remain standing since their construction in the 1700s, several of which have been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Revolutionary War period
During November 1776, General George Washington passed through Teaneck in the aftermath of the Battle of Fort Lee, as part of the hasty retreat of ragtag Colonial forces from Fort Lee on the Hudson River in the wake of the successful British invasion and defeat of Continental Army forces in Manhattan on the opposite side of the river during the Battle of Fort Washington. Early on the morning of November 20, 1776, Washington rode by horseback from his headquarters in Hackensack through Teaneck and across Overpeck Creek to Fort Lee. There he watched as 6,000 British troops travel up the river by boat. He had his troops abandon their position on the Palisades in a poorly organized retreat in which most of their supplies were abandoned, with Washington's troops moving inland across Overpeck Creek and through Teaneck to New Bridge Landing (in what is now Brett Park) and crossing the bridge, one of the few available at the time. The soldiers, many poorly dressed, ill-equipped and without shoes, faced the cold rain, leading Thomas Paine to compose the pamphlet, The American Crisis, in which he captured the depth of the defeat by describing those days with the words "These are the times that try men's souls". Throughout the war, both British and American forces occupied local homesteads at various times, and Teaneck citizens played key roles on both sides of the conflict.[7]
After the war, Teaneck returned to being a quiet farm community. Fruits and vegetables grown locally were taken by wagon to markets in nearby Paterson and New York City. New growth and development were spurred in the mid-19th century by the establishment of railroads throughout the area. Wealthy New Yorkers and others purchased large properties on which they built spacious mansions and manor houses. They traveled daily to work in New York City, thus becoming Teaneck's first suburban commuters.[7]
Phelps Estate
The largest estate built in Teaneck belonged to William Walter Phelps, the son of a wealthy railroad magnate and New York City merchant. In 1865, Phelps arrived in Teaneck and enlarged an old farmhouse into a large Victorian mansion on the site of the present Municipal Government Complex. Phelps' "Englewood Farm" eventually encompassed nearly of landscaped property within the central part of Teaneck, on which some 600,000 trees were planted. Subsequent development and house construction were focused along the perimeters of the township, with the central part of the community remaining a large property crisscrossed by roads and trails.
Township formed
The Township of Teaneck was established on February 19, 1895 and was composed of portions of Englewood Township, Ridgefield Township and Bogota.[8] Teaneck's choice to incorporate as a township was unusual in an era of "Boroughitis", in which a flood of new municipalities were being formed using the borough form of government.[4] The other two municipalities formed in Bergen County in 1895 were both boroughs, in addition to the 26 boroughs that were formed in the county in 1894 alone.
At a referendum held on January 14, 1895, 46 of 53 voters approved incorporation as a Borough. Citizens of Englewood Township challenged the creation of a borough, but accepted the new municipality as a township, given its more rural character. A bill supporting the creation of the Township of Teaneck was put through the New Jersey General Assembly on February 18, 1895, and the New Jersey Senate on the next day. Governor of New Jersey George Werts signed the bill into law, and Teaneck was an independent municipality.[4]
At its incorporation, Teaneck's population was 811. William W. Bennett, overseer of the Phelps Estate, was selected as chairman of the first three-man Township Committee, which focused in its early years on "construction of streets and street lamps (originally gaslights), trolley lines (along DeGraw Avenue), telephones and speeding traffic."
Growth in early 20th century
The opening of the Phelps Estate in 1927 led to substantial population growth. The George Washington Bridge was completed in 1931, and its connection to Teaneck via Route 4 brought thousands of new home buyers. From 1920 and 1930, Teaneck's population nearly quadrupled, from 4,192 to 16,513.[9]
Rapid growth led to financial turmoil, and inefficiencies in the town government resulted in the adoption of a new nonpartisan Council-Manager form of government under the 1923 Municipal Manager Law in a referendum on September 16, 1930. A full-time Town Manager, Paul A. Volcker, Sr. (father of future Chairman of the Federal Reserve Paul A. Volcker, Jr.), was appointed to handle Teaneck's day-to-day business affairs. During his 20-year term, from 1930 to 1950, Volcker implemented prudent financial management practices, a development plan that included comprehensive zoning regulations, along with a civil service system for municipal employees and a professional fire department.[7]
The New Jersey Supreme Court issued a ruling in 1942 upholding a Teaneck ordinance that had banned pinball machines on the grounds that they were gambling devices rather than a form of amusement.
Development after World War II
Teaneck was selected in 1949 from over 10,000 communities as America's model community. Photographs were taken and a film produced about life in Teaneck, which were shown in Occupied Japan as a part of the United States Army's education program to show democracy in action.
After World War II, there was a second major spurt of building and population growth. The African American population in the northeast corner of Teaneck grew substantially starting in the 1960s, accompanied by white flight triggered by blockbusting efforts of township real estate agencies. In 1965, after a struggle to address de facto segregation in housing and education, Teaneck became the first community in the nation where a white majority voluntarily voted for school integration, without a court order requiring the district to implement the change. The sequence of events was the subject of a book titled Triumph in a White Suburb written by township resident Reginald G. Damerell (New York: William Morrow & Company, Inc., 1968).
As de facto racial segregation increased, so did tensions between residents of the northeast and members of the predominantly white male Teaneck Police Department. On the evening of April 10, 1990, the Teaneck Police Department responded to a call from a resident complaining about a teenager with a gun. After an initial confrontation near Bryant School and a subsequent chase, Phillip Pannell, an African American teenager, was shot and killed by Gary Spath, a white Teaneck police officer. Spath said he thought Pannell had a gun and was turning to shoot him. Witnesses said Pannell was unarmed and had been shot in the back. Protest marches, some violent, ensued; most African Americans believed that Pannell had been killed in cold blood, while other residents insisted that Spath had been justified in his actions. Testimony at the trial claimed that Pannell was shot in the back, and that he was carrying a gun. A police officer testified to finding a modified starter's pistol with eight cartridges in Pannell's jacket pocket. Spath was ultimately acquitted on charges of reckless manslaughter in the shooting. Some months after Spath had been cleared, he decided to retire from law enforcement. The incident was an international news event that brought Reverend Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to the community and inspired the 1995 book Color Lines: The Troubled Dreams of Racial Harmony in an American Town, by Mike Kelly.
Teaneck, and the neighboring communities of Bergenfield and New Milford, has drawn a large number of Modern Orthodox Jews who have established at least fourteen synagogues and four yeshivas (three high schools and one for young men). It is the functional center of the northern New Jersey Orthodox community, with nearly twenty kosher shops (restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets). It is within ten minutes' driving time of Yeshiva University in New York City. This community tends to be involved with Religious Zionist causes and offers strong support of Israel.
Historic homes
Several homes in Teaneck date back to the colonial era or the period subsequent to American Revolutionary War and have been preserved and survive to this day. Teaneck sites on the National Register of Historic Places and (other historic homes) include:

For all of those who are complaining how football codes have lost their edge because they won't allow the odd bit of biffo during the match (it's like you people want players to hurt themselves) here are two dude-bros in a roadside brawl.
Oh, did we forget to mention they were gopher-things? Sorry about that
Believed to have come out of China, Facebook footage shows the two furry brats grappling and pushing each other like a pair of toddlers fighting over a Lego.
Oblivious to the surrounding cars and humans, they shove at each other in the worst Pokémon Go tournament we've ever seen.
Even more embarrassing is that it looks like they're standing in a pile of poop.
If two idiots fighting over s*** isn't the best allegory for the stupidity of violence, we don't know what is.

Manufacturing businesses are one of the most popular businesses for business migrants seeking a Business as part of their visa. This is because manufacturing satisfies all of the visa requirements for citizenship such as the number of Australian employees in the business, the threshold for turnover and also the hidden benefit of possibly being able to export some of the manufactured products back to the migrant's original homeland.
GMO businsss broking boss Graham O'Hehir reports that there have been many South African and Zimbabwean and Indian/Kenyan business migrants who have chosen to buy a manufacturing business over the past few years.
These migrants have been well suited to the manufacturing businesses and have in most cases prospered in their manufacturing business and have been able to improve the business and its proftabilty.
Sometimes a business migrant may bring better skill sets to the business and may have a more expansive outloook on the business than the person he has bought the manufacturing business from.
How much do manufacturing businesses sell for and what sort of price earnings multiples do manufacturing businesses sell for?
Well in the case of SME manufacturing the EBIT profit multiple can be as low as 1.5 times for a small modestly profitable manufacturing business where the owner is heavily involved in the production process...up to 5 to 6 times EBIT for a manufacturer where the business is making a multi million dollar profit and is big enough and has sufficient systemisation and processes to make it atttractive enough for a public company looking for a manufacturing business to acquire.
To discuss the valuation of the manufacturing business of interest to you contact graham O'hehir at Business valuer network on 1300634588.

The topic of student loans was one of the more prominent issues discussed in the election season. The price of tuition for colleges in the United States is rising alarmingly. "The average annual increase in college tuition from 1980-2014 grew by nearly 260% compared to the nearly 120% increase in all consumer items," according to Business Insider. Student loan debt has now surpassed $1.3 trillion in the U.S. Government subsidization of college education, coupled with increasing demand, has contributed to this large increase in both tuition prices and student loan debt.
The criteria of obtaining federal student loans is a good place to start. The qualifications for these loans are fairly unrestricted with some basic requirements of demonstrated financial need, being a U.S. citizen, having a Social Security number, and being enrolled in Selective Service to name a few. The eligibility for these loans is also viewed primarily through the lens of financial need. Now, it is important to make clear that there are borrowing limits depending on the types of loans you take out, the school you attend, etc. While this overall relatively easy access to federal student loans at first glance may seem like a great and noble means for students to afford college, there are drastic consequences.
Since students can easily obtain student loans from the government, universities have realized that they now no longer have any incentive to compete with lower prices as other markets do to attract consumers. Instead, colleges now compete to make themselves more attractive to students with luxury perks – such as facilities, amenities, and more administrators – that often have little to do with enhancing the actual quality of education, which is the main reason students attend college in the first place.
The byproduct of this realization is rapidly increasing tuition that forces students to take out more loans that the government will easily give out, thus creating a positively reinforcing cycle of higher tuition costs and more student debt, which Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA characterized as the Game of Loans. Jordan Weissmann, in an article for Slate.com summarized some of the conclusions from a recent New York Fed report stating, "Looking at both public and private nonprofit colleges during the mid-2000s, they found that schools raised tuition by 55 cents for each $1 increase in Pell grants their undergraduates received, and by 60 to 70 cents for each extra dollar of subsidized student loans."
While the Game of Loans is one of the major contributing causes of higher tuition prices, another major reason is simply that the demand for college education is increasing. When the demand for a good or service increases, suppliers, universities, in this case, raise their prices. Furthermore, the demand for college education I would argue is fairly inelastic, meaning that the demand for a college education does not reduce much in response to higher tuition prices. With these market forces in play contributing to higher prices, increasing the availability of student loans seems like a very tempting and reasonable response; however, this reaction only further exacerbates the problem dramatically.
The attractive solution to this issue is that government should play a more active role in making college affordable and go so far as making it completely "free," as some proposals argue. To put it bluntly, government needs to back off since government's actions have only exacerbated the problem. When politicians tell you that they will make something free, in this case college, they are not only being deceitful but are also blatantly lying. This political rhetoric is an example of the free lunch myth, which is the belief that government can provide something to you for free. There is no such thing as a free lunch. When politicians tell you that they'll make college "free" or "affordable," they are just shifting and hiding the costs of college.
How? The reason lies in the simple nature of how government is financed. Government's only source of revenue is through taxation. It either uses its force to take the money from you directly, borrows it from other countries, or prints money via the Federal Reserve and taxes you in the form of inflation. When the Federal Reserve prints money, it reduces the value of currency in the economy. Inflation is best thought of as a tax because it yields the same result: It leaves you with less money in your pocket.
These aforementioned proposals also ignore the vital role of costs and prices. Every action has an opportunity cost. For example, as economist Thomas Sowell points out, "costs are not just prices arbitrarily put on things. Whether the economic system has prices or not, there are real costs for everything." When governments implement price controls, like subsidizing the costs of college tuition, they demonstrate a fundamental lack of understanding of the role of prices. Prices serve as the mechanism by which resources such as capital and labor are efficiently used in an economy, guiding and incentivizing both producers and consumers in the decisions they make. By subsidizing the price of higher education, government incentivizes the inefficient use of scarce resources that ultimately drive up the costs of higher education not only for the students and colleges but also for the economy as a whole.
This blatant ignorance of costs and prices on the part of government and politicians is a reflection of the differences in nature between free markets and government. Producers in the free-market are incentivized to provide the best products and services at competitive prices because they must convince consumers to voluntarily give them their money for what they're offering. Government, on the other hand, has no such incentive, which is why so many government run operations not only have poor quality but also are alarmingly expensive and inefficient. This includes the typical examples of the DMV and the public school system, and if some politicians had their way, "free" college would most certainly be on that list.
If making college "free" is not the way to address the student loan crisis, then what is? First and foremost, the requirements for federal student loans need to be more restrictive, such as inquiring about the type of degree and what major the applicant wishes to pursue. Transitioning loans to the private sector, without the federal government undermining them, would incentivize a more efficient allocation of funding and resources for students who apply. Over time, colleges would recognize that they would now have to compete by lowering tuition costs to attract students because obtaining loans are more challenging and costly. While borrowing students may be faced with a higher interest rate on their loans, it is important to understand that the interest rate in not artificially chosen, rather, it is chosen to cover the risks of loaning in the first place.
Secondly, this proposal would incentivize those who need student loans to pursue fields of study that offer higher job security and income. If the private sector is going to voluntarily risk its money for individuals to go to college, it must be assured that the students they loan to are a good investment and worth the financial risk. This increased scrutiny means that students would be incentivized to pursue more lucrative careers, but also compels students to prioritize whether or not they are serious and fully committed to attending college in the first place.
While some students still may graduate with a high amount of student loan debt, on the whole, they will be much better able to pay off the loans by, first, being more employable and, second, earning a higher income. This reduction in debt also means that students will be better able to prepare for their future by planning for retirement, buying a car, a house, etc. since they will not have to worry as much about their student loans. Society as a whole would also benefit by having more students graduate with degrees in fields that are more beneficial to society and also by having less unemployment for these graduates – alleviating some of the burdens of financing our bloated welfare system.
On the whole, going to college is still worth the costs. However, the rising costs of tuition and student loan debt have been exacerbated by irresponsible government meddling in higher education. As more students seek to go to college, government making college "free" is the last thing it should do.

The papaya is a large, tree-like plant, with a single stem growing from 5 to 10 m (16 to 33 ft) tall, with spirally arranged leaves confined to the top of the trunk. The lower trunk is conspicuously scarred where leaves and fruit were borne. The leaves are large, 50–70 cm (20–28 in) in diameter, deeply palmately lobed, with seven lobes. Unusually for such large plants, the trees are dioecious.

The Sweet Sedge is a perennial herb, with a long, indefinite, branched, cylindrical rhizome immersed in the mud, about the thickness of a finger and emitting numerous roots. The erect leaves are yellowish-green, 2 to 3 feet in length, few, all radical, sheathing at their bases (which are pink), swordshaped, narrow and flat, tapering into a long, acute point, the edges entire, but wavy or crimped.
The leaves are much like those of Iris, but may readily be distinguished from these and from all others by the peculiar crimped edges and their aromatic odour when bruised.
The scape or flower-stem arises from the axils of the outer leaves, which it much resembles, but is longer and solid and triangular. From one side, near the middle of its length, projecting upwards at an angle, from the stem, it sends out a solid, cylindrical, blunt spike or spadix, tapering at each end, from 2 to 4 inches in length, often somewhat curved and densely crowded with very small greenish-yellow flowers.
Each tiny flower contains six stamens enclosed in a perianth with six divisions and surrounding a threecelled, oblong ovary with a sessile stigma.
The fruit, which does not ripen in Europe, is a berry, being full of mucus, which falls when ripe into the water or to the ground, and is thus dispersed, but it fruits sparingly everywhere and propagates itself mainly by the rapid growth of its spreading rhizome.

The Housing Guide for workers provides information about tax breaks linked to property and the Finance Act. As announced in April 2016, a number of property tax exemptions have been extended until december 2017 :
- The tax credit for energy saving home improvements (CITE), for up to 30 % of the cost of the improvements (excluding labour costs) to a main residence ;
- The Pinel tax incentive for rental investment gives rise to a reduction of between 12% to 21% depending on the duration of the lease;
- The Censi-Bouvard buy-to-let incentive for the purchase of furnished, serviced apartments in homes for the elderly, students' residences and long-term care homes for adults (Ehpad). This does not apply to holiday apartments. Instead, a tax reduction of 20% may be granted for energy saving improvements, reburbishment or improvements for occupants with disabilities voted for by the co-owners during a general meeting taking place between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2019. A tax reduction of up to 22,000 euros may be granted for any one property.


text: Sections View Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Supplementary Content ++ ABSTRACT ++ Fructose is an important source of dietary carbohydrates. In Western societies, daily intake by adults is presently approximately 100 g. The liver, kidney, and small intestine are the main sites of fructose metabolism, but adipose tissue also participates. Fructose, given intravenously in high doses, is clearly toxic and causes hyperuricemia, hyperlactatemia, and ultrastructural alterations in liver and intestinal cells. Essential fructosuria, an autosomal-recessive disorder, is a benign, asymptomatic metabolic anomaly caused by the absence of fructokinase. Alimentary hyperfructosemia and fructosuria are the principal signs. Despite the interruption of the specific fructose pathway, up to nine tenths of the administered fructose is retained by fructokinase-deficient subjects. Hereditary fructose intolerance, an autosomal-recessive disorder, is characterized by severe hypoglycemia and vomiting shortly after the intake of fructose. Prolonged fructose ingestion in infants leads to poor feeding, vomiting, hepatomegaly, jaundice, hemorrhage, proximal renal tubular syndrome, and finally, hepatic failure and death. Patients develop a strong distaste for noxious food. Therefore, a chronic course is observed only in preschool-aged children. Fructaldolase B of liver, kidney cortex, and small intestine is deficient. Hypoglycemia after fructose ingestion is caused by fructose 1-phosphate–inhibiting glycogenolysis at the phosphorylase level and gluconeogenesis at the mutant aldolase level. Patients remain healthy on a fructose- and sucrose-free diet. The severity of the disease phenotype appears to be independent of the nature of the aldolase B gene mutations so far identified. Hereditary fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase deficiency, an autosomal-recessive disorder, is characterized by episodic spells of hyperventilation, apnea, hypoglycemia, ketosis, and lactic acidosis, with a precipitous and often lethal course in the newborn infant. Later episodes are often triggered by fasting and febrile infections. Due to the enzyme defect, gluconeogenesis is severely impaired. Gluconeogenic precursors such as amino acids, lactate, and ketones accumulate as soon as liver glycogen stores are depleted. Patients do not vomit after fructose intake, and aversion to sweets does not develop. Their tolerance to fasting grows with age. Patients past early childhood seem to develop normally. D-glyceric aciduria, erythrocyte aldolase deficiency, and incomplete fructose absorption are briefly mentioned. ++ INTRODUCTION ++ Three inherited abnormalities of fructose metabolism are known. Two of these are caused by a defect of one of the enzymes of the specialized fructose pathway—essential fructosuria and hereditary fructose intolerance—the former a harmless and the latter a potentially lethal condition. Although not a defect of the specialized fructose pathway, hepatic fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase deficiency is usually classified as an error of fructose metabolism. The defect of this enzyme of the gluconeogenic pathway becomes clinically manifest through hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis on fasting and also may be life threatening. The description of the clinical symptoms and biochemical anomalies in the three inborn errors of metabolism is preceded by an outline of the metabolism of fructose. The potential toxic effects of fructose in humans also are discussed: it is essential to understand these toxic effects in order to comprehend the pathophysiology of hereditary fructose intolerance and of fructose ...

Do Not Overlook the Importance of the Display URLs in PPC AdsBlog Post: March 18, 2009
Hi Rand, nice post, i recently did some analysis of brand Vs. generic domain name on a medium sized PPC campaign and it came back with a clear result that generic domains specific to that keyword industry massively out performed the branded version of the domain...this is my findings http://www.leewoodman.co.uk/blog/25022009/346697/citys-info-on-generic-domains/
The adverts were run simultaneously over a 3 week campaign and the results were vastly different, the two domains Swansea.info and netCardiff.co.uk were run with the same advert creative and a maximum cost per click of £0.10. netcardiff.co.uk received a CTR rate of around 13% where as Swansea.info was consistently receiving a CTR of 56% which is an almost unheard of figure in any main stream PPC campaign. The domains are specifically targetted at the tourism sector/city information and Swansea.info in my opinion hits the nail on the head for what users are looking for and according to the results above the users agree.
Over and out
8 More SEO Topics that Have Me StumpedBlog Post: February 03, 2009
Point 6: .info domains. Im an avid fan of the extension and have invested a lot of money as it bodes perfectly with the platform i have produced for tourist information. Surely Google cannot simply apply a blanket rule over an entire extension. My content is of a high quality and receiving on average 8 page views per visit, it seems like my users think so too. How is Google going to manage when the new .absolutelyanythingyouwant start appearing in 2010. Penalties depending on extension are in my eyes are a complete myth. My site ranks well for important terms on the citys we run the platform on especially in Yahoo and MSN and they are .info domains. For me personally they also convert well on PPC campaigns

Last year we stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott in West Golden and it was only about a 10-15 minutes drive. This year we are doing an Air BNB in Golden. It's a little further, 15-20 minutes but with Air BNB we had a lot more options to choose from and it ended up being cheaper.

"I am not new to West Coast Swing but I am certainly not an expert. I thoroughly enjoyed the light-hearted (they have FUN teaching) and informative DVD Moves and Patterns Vol. 1, and look forward to the rest of the series. If you have already gone through beginner DVD's or classes, this it a good next choice. One of my favorite parts was at the beginning where you learn how to start a dance without being arms-distance apart.
Shawn and Joanna Trautman explain the moves completely, and show close-ups of both hands and feet so you get a good snapshot of what you should look like doing the moves. I have also been lucky enough to attend more than one of his live classes, and even dance with Shawn Trautman personally. He is just as patient and fun to dance with in person as he is on the DVD!

Facebook Adds Mobile Reach Data To Insights, Cuts Back Loading Of Organic Stories
Facebook announced two changes to its insights Tuesday: the inclusion of mobile reach data, and the lowering of the number of organic stories that will be loaded simultaneously.
The social network said its reach metrics will now include a combined metric that accounts for both desktop and mobile reach.
And Facebook added that it will load new stories quickly, eliminating interruption in how users scroll through their news feeds. The social network said reach may be affected in insights, but the way users see the stories will be unchanged.

Strawberry Cobbler!
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
8 cups frozen strawberries
1 1/4 cups sugar (I use turbinado)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons vegan margarine (I use Earth Balance)
2/3 cup nondairy milk + 1 teaspoon lemon juice
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. For the filling, mix flour with the berries, sugar, and the lemon juice directly into a baking dish (I use a 9x13") Let stand while making the topping.
2. For the topping, combine the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Mix in the margarine, cutting it in with the dry ingredients. (It will be coarse and crumbly)
3. Add the milk with the lemon juice and stir until moist. Pour dough on top of the filling mixture to create a top crust. You will probably need to just spoon it out into several globs. Dont worry, it all comes together in the baking process!
4. Bake for 30 minutes or so, until it's lightly browned and bubbly. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
Tastes wonderful served warm with vanilla Soy Dream ice cream.
Made this with blackberries the other day and it was so good! Thanks for the recipe
Just curious, has anyone tried a low-carb version of this using coconut or almond flour?
Wondering if that would work
This was very good!
Going to try making it with some lower-carb flours next time (previously I used whole wheat pastry flour)
I'm sure this would be great with some cinnamon and nutmeg added to the crust and/or filling.
YUMMY! I've used the crust part of this recipe twice and it received rave reviews. I made a blueberry strawberry cobbler and halved the sugar to add to the fruit and it was amazing. I also made a peach blackberry last night for a dinner party and omg it was the shiznit! Also used less sugar for the fruit and added a pinch of cinnamon.
Loved this, it's the first time I've really baked a dessert and I'm surprised I made it edible! :)
My topping was a bit doughy though. I did use about half the sugar and I still found it extremely sweet.
I added some cinnamon on top for extra flavour.
I still love this recipe. Made a peach version the other day and it was a big hit. Someone asked me to make extra topping, so I doubled the topping recipe, but it was really too much. Maybe half an extra batch would be ok, but not doubled. (Still delicious, just not enough fruit.) I also made a gluten-free one with sweet rice and tapioca flour for an allergic friend.
Oddly, this went moldy in just a couple of days, even in the fridge!! So don't count on long-lived leftovers...
This is a amazing recipe. I like to double the toppings and sprinkle sugar on top.
Yummm this was so good! I only had about 5 cups of fresh strawberries, so I cut the sugar down to 3/4 cup. My family loved this, and I will definitely be making it again. Thanks for sharing!

The ILO is the tripartite (government, employers, workers' representatives) arm of the UN which focuses on working conditions and work-related social protection. Its Conventions form a "fundamental law" of working conditions.
The suggested new Convention would require governments to pursue an integrated approach to address violence and harassment in the world of work, delineating clear responsibilities for public and private employers, workers and their respective organisations, and governments, and for joint strategies and collaboration.
The Questionnaire sets out a positive and progressive possible future Convention, and CARE supports it strongly. However, there are a few areas where we believe the mooted Convention and Recommendations could be strengthened further. (An overview of these is also provided here in an Insights blog.)

A Visit From Olivier Krug
Posted: April 24, 2017
Categories: Wine
Comments: 0
Tags: wine hotline, krug
Olivier Krugs presentation resonated with me early when he spoke of pairing my two passions, music and wine. Music is important to Krug he said, The experience is about what you feel. Ive always thought of my love of wine and my love of music separately, but it was enlightening to hear him speak passionately about intertwining both. Music proved an especially apt metaphor as he presented his four wines. The first three were all top notch wines that any Champagne house could claim as a tete de cuvee. But not Krug, whose non-vintage Grand Cuvee enjoys pride of place. Compared to the first three, the Grand Cuvee is a harmonious whole, with the other three sounding a strong note.
Clos du Mesnil 2003One grape, one plot, one year; a true snapshot of a place and moment in time. A Champagne of finesse and great purity. He spoke of the low yield in 2003 due to the tremendous heatwave that summer. I remember living in London during that heatwave in 2003 and experiencing it firsthand. The Clos du Mesnil 2003 literally pulled memories of that summer out of my subconscious.
Krug 2000 VintageBig and rounded, with gorgeous tropical notes underlined by laser focused acidity.
Krug RoseAlmost copper like in color, a bold rose that seemed like a near perfect food wine, especially something bold like duck.
Krug Grand CuveeBeautiful and complex. Sourced from 12 different years, the youngest being 2007. It almost seems unfair to compare it to another Champagne. It is a true expression of the total being greater than the sum of its parts.
Thoughts on the Krug philosophy: This was a tremendous opportunity, not only to sample a lineup of spectacular Champagne, but also to feel the passion of Olivier Krug. When he discussed the Champagne houses principles he spoke of quality, consistency, and uncompromising patience as if he was describing it like a work of art. Krug is a love story, he said, and I truly believe him. This is a guest post written by Chad Crosby, Wine Manager at Binny's Skokie.

Κontaki Design
Kontaki design is Greek company that exclusively designs and produces handcrafted objects and furniture.
Each piece is unique and only a limited number of copies are produced.
"We conceive the object as a work of art which does not lose its functional purpose, while at the same time we use only the finest materials". That is the Kontaki Design Philosophy.
They attempt to create a dream like effect in a world where we coexist with the objects, as they "move" throughout our space, almost as if they existed before we even discovered them. Their source of inspiration combines spontaneity and an escape from elaborate design and also from the rigid rules that surround it.
Their desire is that the object "shed" itself from any excess "weight": "We are not interested in mass production or in the impression created by it. We strive for quality of life and why not, perhaps even reveal a flaw in our environment, by our inspiration."

text: J.E. Sawyer 6,378 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 This thread is about the technical aspects of PE's constructed languages. If you don't find the subject interesting, it may be very boring to you. For PE, I am developing a number of constructed languages (conlangs) to a limited extent to help establish the flavor of the world and the distinct cultures within it. With each conlang, there is (or are) a number of real-world languages used as a starting point. Eld Aedyran is based on Old English with elements of Danish and Icelandic. Vailian is based on a mixture of Italian, French, and Occitan. The ancient Engwythan language (used by the previous residents of Eír Glanfath) is based on Cornish. Glanfathan (used by the current Glanfathan tribes) is based on Old Irish and contemporary Irish. The orthography of most of these languages is relatively straightforward. A moderately-informed reader will likely mentally read the words and names with 80% accuracy, pronunciation-wise. Players may read the Eld Aedyran name Durnisc as "DUR-nisk" instead of "DUR-nish", but most of the time, they're going to be in the ballpark. If players read about the Vailian consuagli asegia (siege councils), they may not get the stress "right" or hit every consonant cluster correctly in their heads, but they probably won't stumble over the words. The exception to this is Glanfathan, based on Irish. The foundations of Irish orthography in the Latin alphabet go back over a millennium and had to adapt to using Latin orthography for sounds that probably didn't exist in Latin, like /v/. Irish orthography also uses a set of rules for consonant pronunciation that are based on the surrounding vowels (slender or broad). Irish cased grammar can also mutate words in a way that forces the insertion of additional vowels to maintain their "slender to slender, broad to broad" vowel rules, which means the consonants in between can wind up changing pronunciation as well. The result is Irish's distinctive "boatload of letters" appearance and unintuitive (to most English-speakers) pronunciation. In contrast, Cornish (another Celtic, but not Goedelic, language) did not develop standard Latin orthography for many more centuries. Its pronunciation is much more intuitive to the uninitiated. Despite the fact that Cornish exists in a different branch of the Celtic language tree, it shares some etymological roots with Irish, but the pronunciation is almost always more intuitive. However, written Cornish is much less distinctive from written Irish. When you see something written in Irish, there's little doubt what language you're looking at, but the pronunciation will quite often not be "right" in your head. As it applies to the languages, names, etc. in Project Eternity, how much do you care about the intuitive pronunciation of our conlangs? E.g. in the various Icewind Dale/Dark Elf books, Drizzt's panther is named Guenhwyvar. Most people don't know that the Welsh pronunciation of that name is close to "Guinevere". Does that matter? If you see a name like Dair Bhriste, how important is it to you that the way you pronounce it in your head is the way it is "supposed" to be pronounced? 20 Quote twitter tyme Link to post Share on other sites

Altair Partner Alliance (APA) member, Brüel & Kjær (B&K), is taking NVH testing and evaluation to the next level with their industry leading NVH Simulator. Dave Bogema, Product Manager – NVH Refinement at B&K, presented "The Benefits of Experiencing NVH & CAE Data from Pre-concept to Production" to a captivated audience at the Americas ATC East in Detroit, MI in October 2017. Conference attendees also got to experience the NVH Simulator first hand and take it for a test drive.
There are many factors driving change in Automotive NVH; increased fuel economy, lightweight designs, electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, shorter lead times and more. In order to meet consumers' expectations, NVH engineers are turning to simulation and eliminating the need for several physical prototypes.
Many types of CAE results and data can be understood visually, by observing them on a computer monitor. Decisions can be made instantly upon viewing and understanding the results. NVH data, especially sound and vibration that will be experienced by the user, is not like this. Generally, NVH data is in the form of plots, graphs, and numbers, which cannot be easily understood to the fullest extent by looking at them on a screen; they must be experienced as sound and vibration to fully understand them. Dave explains, "If we can accurately simulate the vibration and the sound of those vehicles and then turn that into something that we can experience as people in an experiential way, feel the vibration, hear the sound as we would in the real car; then we can design that vehicle to be exactly what we want long before we actually start making parts."
In his presentation, Dave proposed that these challenges are best addressed by leveraging the latest generation of CAE and Test tools in a collaborative manner. Using a workflow that combines full vehicle NVH CAE simulation including Altair's NVH Director with experiencing data from Test and CAE using the B&K NVH Simulator and follow up with benchmarking and validation. B&K has several products, including Insight+, which can take data that is generated from either test data, CAE data, or both and put it together to listen to it and understand what it's actually going to sound like. By taking it further and putting that data into a virtual vehicle and adding vibration, users gain an understanding of how the vehicle will feel as well as sound when accelerating, braking, and changing gears. Dave explained the power of adding vibration, "a lot of the challenges in the NVH area right now are lower frequency in nature so when you get into that lower frequency type phenomena you really have to understand both vibration and sound together because as humans, we experience both at the same time and we interpret both at the same time and if you only have one or the other then you don't really fully understand the implication of that."
Experiencing NVH helps engineers gain a deeper understanding of their work and makes it easier for them to communicate with management and other teams working on a vehicle to make judgements on which powertrain to use or exhaust system or whether a vehicle needs more sound deadening. "Looking at a plot or a graph it's very hard to justify one way or the other but if you can actually sit down and listen to the difference that makes it so much easier to make that decision… it reduced time to market in many different ways because that decision process is kind of short-circuited because you don't have the unkown-ness of Is that the right decision?, Is it not?, let's do some more testing."
