Connective massage is a form of intense massage that aims at releasing myofascial restrictions in the body, and effects the disruption of the restrictive skin tissue. It is also known to help in the treatment of chronic tension, to increase the level of physical movement improve posture and enhance the natural harmony of the entire body and mind.
Connective massage is a combination of techniques borrowed from the Swedish massage. The pressure applied by the therapist during the massage is more intense, and even massage oil or lotion is not used in the usual way.
Connective massage strokes are slower and stronger, tending to warm the muscles and penetrate into their deeper layers.
During the treatment, by applying deep intense movements the therapist will focus on the release of tension from the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue structures. This massage influences an improved posture, balance, movement, and leads to muscle relaxation.
Classic manual body massage appears exotic and more pleasant with the addition of aromatic oils. Essential oils have been used for 5000 years and represent an elixir of youth, life, health and beauty.
The word "aroma" means fragrance and is of Greek origin; therapy means treatment; thus, an aroma therapy stands for a treatment using aromatic oils combined with massage movements. Besides the effect of relaxation and reduction of muscle tension, this massage has a great effect on the complete physical and psychological health, as various aromas and friendly environment with appropriate music are known to positively affect mood and reduce stress.
Sports massage speeds up recovery after a workout, warms up and softens the tissues, aligns the muscle fibers, improves circulation, speeds up the discharge of waste matter and lactic acid from the body.
Sports massage keeps muscles healthy, flexible, less susceptible to injury, increases range of motion, strength of injured muscles, speeds up the process of strengthening, improves blood circulation and makes us more willing to make better performance in sports and life's challenges.
Royal massage is a specific direction in creativity, placed in front of two therapists with similar sensibilities and four arms. This is a specific way of dancing hands where one creates a movement and the other simultaneously follows.
By listening to the vibrations of the body and recognizing the client's blockades, the therapists simultaneously and in a balanced way create the relaxing effect on the left and right sides of the body. In this way, the stimulation of blood circulation and lymph flow is balanced on both sides of the body, the load on the heart is reduced to a minimal extent, a sense of unity and indivisibility of the body is fully revealed. In our ambience, with appropriate music, you will experience an absolute delight!
Lymph is a colorless circulatory liquid in the vertebrate which accounts for nearly 25% of the human body weight. It fills all the intercellular spaces and acts as an intermediary between the blood and the tissues in a way that it transports nutrients and oxygen to the cells of the tissue capillaries and collects the harmful products of metabolism and carbon dioxide.
The lymph is a fluid with a composition similar to the blood plasma and lymphocytes from the group of leukocytes, i.e. white blood cells. It results from the separation of blood plasma and one portion of leukocytes from the blood. The lymph’s flow to the heart is very slow and varies from 2 to 4 liters in an hour. The lymphatic system consists of lymph nodes and lymph vessels that branch throughout the body, similar to the blood vessels. The lymphatic system plays a major role in the immune system and the production of antibodies because it circulates the lymph back into the blood, where the lymph is filtered from damaged cells and bacteria, and produces immune cells.
Lymphatic drainage therapy is intended to stimulate the free flow of lymph in the lymph system. It is performed by manual massage that primarily focuses on specific lymph nodes and points on the body, following its natural flow. The main goal of this treatment is to remove the blockage and retention of fluids, generally along the upper and lower extremities. It is used for inflammation and swelling of muscles and joints, after placing implants and liposuction. It is an indispensable therapy for the malfunction of digestive tract such as constipation, lazy bowels and flatulence.
Lymphatic drainage is preventive detoxification, excellent in maintaining existing healthy state of the body, and it is strongly recommended to pregnant women. Today, this massage is widely used for facial cosmetic purposes, mostly in reducing bags under the eyes, double chin and after various cosmetic procedures.
About 85% of women get cellulite at some point in life, most often accompanying major hormonal fluctuations, such as pregnancy and puberty, regardless of the activity or sport weight.
In addition to genetics, the modern way of life is one of the major causes of cellulite. This phenomenon occurs in the subcutaneous adipose tissue (hypodermis) and extends into the medial layer of skin (dermis). Fat cells are grouped into globules and connected by the connective tissue made of collagen and elastin. Blood and lymphatic vessels pass between them. The process starts by increasing of cellulite fat cells, which creates pressure on capillaries and the surrounding tissue, and thus interferes with the circulation, which manifests itself as "orange peel" i.e. cellulite.
Anti-cellulite massage acts to induce lymph circulation and remove excess liquid. Essential oils used in the massage dissolve fat deposits that have accumulated unevenly. Massage influences the breaking of fat cells.
Hot stone massage is actually not a new method. It was used back in the ancient history of men, in rituals, healing ... and massages. The Egyptians and Indians were known to have used volcanic rocks because the stone is a very good accumulator of the thermal energies and its carrier. Volcanic rocks (i.e. stones from the heart of the earth) have geomagnetic properties which, in contact with the body, have a very positive effect and cure it both at the site of contact and the whole body.
Special light and deep rhythmic massage movements combined with appropriate oils and heated stones create a feeling of harmony and balance in the body, reduce stress and relax muscles.
This massage is a special type of massage, which is performed with warm oils and rhythmic movements. With its properties, massage with warm oils stimulates the body thus preventing many diseases. At the same time, it relaxes and therefore represents a massage for regeneration and pain relief.
During massage, the therapist uses long, deep and intense movement pressures, in order to achieve the level of relaxation of tense muscles. Massage with warm oils relieves the body of stress and helps restore balance in the body and the free flow of energy. The oils used have intense aroma securing improved blood circulation, relaxation of body and mind - the overall vitality.
This treatment includes complete relaxation and it will rebalance your energy, refresh you, strengthen and return the energy to your body and mind.
Massage with herb compress or hot cotton bolus' is one of the special techniques which is an integral part of modern anti-stress programs. Bolus bags are filled with herbs and their specific aromas have a calming and relaxing effect. This technique is "PINDA SWEDA" and is one of the earliest techniques in Ayuverda.
Massage is done by warmed bolus bags in order to heat the whole body, resulting in easing your energy blockades and pain relieving.
Hot chocolate massage nourishes and regenerates the skin, provides a vital force and brings you back into perfect harmony. Wonderful sense of highest quality chocolate on your skin has relaxing effect on mind and senses through scent as aromatherapy. Gentle relaxation massage relieves tension and stress, and the smell of chocolate will totally relax you and certainly lift your spirits. Cocoa, the main ingredient of the preparation, contains polyphenols that bind free radicals and neutralize them and thus protect the skin from premature aging. It contains magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, and amino acids which lead to the formation of serotonin also known as a happiness hormone, and endorphins which alleviate pain.
An anti-stress massage is a combination of relaxing and therapeutic massage, in which are used specially selected essential oils and bolus bags filled with aromatic herbs, thanks to which this massage has the characteristic of aroma therapy. This massage achieves a positive and stimulating effect on the central nervous system, and thus has a positive effect on mental processes, i.e. significantly reduces nervous tension and stress.
Foot reflexology is a holistic therapeutic treatment by which is balancing of vital energy achieved through foot massage (specific reflex points). There are 10 channels in reflexology, known as zones, extending from head to fingertips and toes, and vice versa. Each zone is associated with a particular zone of the body and organs of that zone. Reflex points of all organs and body parts are located on feet. By pressing on precise reflex points, the therapist obtain the information about the state of an appropriate body organ – if the place is pressure-sensitive, what the texture of the skin is, small lumps that can be detected, or if a reflex point is “weakened".
Soft and shiny skin is every woman’s wish. It is important to dedicate sufficient time and afford the care it deserves, because it is the most exposed organ of our body.
To achieve the desired effect, it is necessary to regularly remove impurities from it, primarily from its upper layer. Exfoliation is a very good solution to thoroughly clean the skin, which is the basis of skin care in general. With the removal of excess dead tissue, the natural regeneration of the skin's surface is stimulated gradually achieving the effect of softness and shine. The number and frequency of treatments depend on skin type and the type of peel.
Body treatment package, accorded to the needs of the skin, consists of various mixtures of algae, clay and essential oils. This is one of the oldest methods of skin care and dates back to the time of Cleopatra. Packages usually have a thermal effect so that active ingredients and heat can accelerate blood circulation, widen pores, speed up metabolism, particularly the secretion of harmful substances from the body. The extremely efficient effect on the skin and subcutaneous tissue is manifested by restored elasticity and tone, and thus the youthful appearance of the skin, giving the skin a long-lasting feeling of smoothness and tightness. Active ingredients penetrate the surface layers of the skin and affect the stimulation of cell processes important for overall health.
Body mesotherapy is a method where adequate products are applied to the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
Depending on your needs, body mesotherapy is applied to remove localized fat, cellulite reduction, straining i.e. rejuvenating the skin and muscle stimulation.
At the same time, it is an amazing body antioxidant.
The process is simple and the results are very good. It is the local application of selected cocktails which are determined by the doctor after the examination. Series of about 10 treatments are recommended.
To make the results more effective, the treatment is combined with anti-cellulite massage.
Skin tightening is carried out according to the same principle as the reduction of cellulite, except that the different mesotherapy cocktail is applied.
The first effects are visible after 3 treatments, where the skin is tighter and has a beautiful, rejuvenated look.
It is recommended for the women who just had delivery, after the body weight reduction, in order to correct the extra, loose skin, as well as tightening the upper arms, thighs, gluteus and inner side of the knee.
Each and every day we witness increase in the number of obese people. There are some people who are successful in adoption of proper hygiene-dietetic habits and whose desire to be healthy, lean and attractive is strong enough so they manage to stick to the desired goal, i.e. they succeed in bringing their weight to an ideal one. However, we have seen too often that although someone achieved weight loss and desired weight, the critical lipid regions which still remained the same destroyed the ideal of a harmonious and attractive figure. The most common problem among women are hips, thighs, stomach and arms, while in most cases in men the critical region is stomach. Large abdominal girth (not just an aesthetic problem but a health issue as it is directly associated with high risk health) is in direct proportion to the risk of cardiovascular disease.
WHAT DOES A LIPOLYSIS TREATMENT LOOK LIKE?
A lipolysis treatment consists of lipolytic application with microinjections directly into the fatty tissue, and in the next month it melts and removes unwanted fat. After application a sense of itching and redness of the treated region appears in the next day or two. Some bruises may occur too, but disappear in just a few days. During the next month, after the injection of lipolytic cocktail, it is necessary that the patient adheres to a healthy diet and does not consume alcohol.
HOW LIPOLYSIS TREATMENT WORKS AND WHAT RESULTS CAN BE EXPECTED?
Lipolysis treatment can be called "non-surgical liposuction" because it acts locally in a similar manner as surgery – removes the local problem, i.e. removes local fat deposits. Thus, a series of 2-6 treatments remove fat from desired locations, thanks to substances that lead to the destruction of fat cells. This means that lipolysis treatment reduces the number of fat cells, which is extremely important because there is no yo-yo effect. It should be emphasized that common diet without lipolysis treatment does not decrease the number of fat cells. In that case, the cells are only getting smaller while we are losing weight, i.e. they "pump out", and we know very well how easily they could again "pump up". During one month, the girth may be reduced to 5-10 cm. Lipolysis treatment should be repeated every 2-6 weeks from 2-6 times.
WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE FATTY TISSUE, ARE THERE ANY NEGATIVE EFFECTS?
Fatty acids which are out of the fat cells are signal that macrophages (scavengers of our body) rapidly come to the place of action and carry fatty acids to the liver, where they continue to metabolize.
Contraindications for the application of lipolyses treatment are pregnancy, breast-feeding, active malignant and autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases.
Before the treatment, a detailed physical examination and discussion with the patient must be done in order to make individually customized treatment regimen and achieve the best effect.

OK, so this statement is completely wrong, but it serves to illustrate the false conclusion of thinking that we are descended from chimpanzees because we evolved from an ape of some sort and they are our closest living relative. But we evolved from them no more than they from us.
What we do share is a common ancestor which we both descended from, and this makes chimpanzees our closest living cousins in species terms, but not our actual ancestors. Understanding common ancestors is vital to understanding evolution and classification, so lets go back in time to trace our little corner of the tree of life.
DNA analysis has shown that the ancestor linking us with chimps existed about six million years ago, and other evidence suggests it was certain to have lived in Africa. No fossil has been found that can be definitely attributed to it, but there are a few contenders. So, since we have no proper name let’s just call it ape A. But what did it look like? It would have been fairly close in appearance to a chimpanzee and it would have walked on four legs (using knuckle walking similar to chimps and gorillas), lived in the forest and been an excellent tree climber.
Around this time the climate began to cool a little and become dryer, meaning the forest in Africa began to thin out and in places open plain took over. This may have caused the population of ape A to become split into two, and therefore each group pursued it’s own independent evolutionary path. One group remained in the forest and so there were few external pressures for it to change – it would eventually evolve into chimpanzees. The other group must have come under some environmental pressure to cause it to change. This may have been a further thinning of the forest it was living in, but for whatever reason, it gradually evolved to become more adapted to living in the plains rather than the forest. This branch eventually became modern humans.
So ape A is the common ancestor we share with chimpanzees and makes them our closest living cousin within the animal world. It also means that the chimpanzee’s closest cousin is us, rather than any other ape. We have both had the same amount of time to evolve since ape A existed, but the reason we look so dissimilar is due to the different path that the environment led us to take – we took to the plains and became hunter gatherers instead of staying in the forests.
The next nearest living relative to us (and chimpanzees) is the gorilla and we need to go back 7 million years from present to find the ancestor we all share – call it ape B. Again it would have lived in the African forest and there would have been a split in the population somehow, one line leading to gorillas and the other to ape A, and subsequently to chimpanzees and us.
Going back even further, about 18 million years from present, we come across the common ancestor to all the great apes. Great apes comprise gibbons, orang utans, gorillas, chimpanzees and humans. They are a separate group from monkeys and the key difference is that apes have no tail whereas all monkeys do (though in a few it is almost reduced to nothing). This is a good illustration of how common ancestors are so useful in defining evolutionary paths and modern classification. If apes are defined as separate from monkeys due to their lack of tail (although it’s actually slightly more complicated than that), then this could be traced back to the one single species that lacked a tail and is ancestor to all subsequent apes.
All major groupings will have a single common ancestor at some point. So for example the first mammal species I talked about in a previous post would have had mammary glands, three bones in the ear, warm blood and fur – and this is why all mammals possess these and why we put them into a group separate from all other animals. As we go back in time there will be common ancestors to larger and larger groupings, until we reach that one first originator of all life with that one huge characteristic that all life shares – DNA.

going back even further, about 18 million years from present, we come across the common ancestor to all the great apes. great apes comprise gibbons, orang utans, gorillas, chimpanzees and humans. they are a separate group from monkeys and the key difference is that apes have no tail whereas all monkeys do (though in a few it is almost reduced to nothing). this is a good illustration of how common ancestors are so useful in defining evolutionary paths and modern classification. if apes are defined as separate from monkeys due to their lack of tail (although it’s actually slightly more complicated than that), then this could be traced back to the one single species that lacked a tail and is ancestor to all subsequent apes.
all major groupings will have a single common ancestor at some point. so for example the first mammal species i talked about in a previous post would have had mammary glands, three bones in the ear, warm blood and fur – and this is why all mammals possess these and why we put them into a group separate from all other animals. as we go back in time there will be common ancestors to larger and larger groupings, until we reach that one first originator of all life with that one huge characteristic that all life shares – dna.

Dr. Gregg C. Anderson, D.C.
I hear it all in my office! In training to become a Sacramento chiropractor, I learned that taking a good patient history of the "chief complaint" is vital to an accurate diagnosis: What happened? What hurts? How bad? How long? Does is burn, ache, throb? Does anything help? Etc.
I've got to admit, I've heard some "doozie" stories: "I fell off the ladder." I took a tumble off the roof." "I skied into a pole." "I got rear-ended." "I tried to lift the..." There seem to be an endless list of major back catastrophes.
More often than not however, I hear stories "incredible" stories like these: "I bent over to pick up my shoe, my back went out, and now I am in so much pain, I can't stand it." Or "I got out of bed and by back went into spasm. That was a week ago!" Once I heard this one; "I leaned over while brushing my teeth, and I couldn't straighten-up. Now my leg is numb too."
These minimal events cause many more problems than the major traumas. Seems crazy huh! It does not make sense to most people how such little stresses can cause such severe problems.
When you understand how backs typically fail, it makes perfect sense. I sometimes use with the following example: Perhaps you remember the marble game called Kerplunk? Picture a vertical clear plastic cylinder with several long colored sticks going through the sides in all directions. Then there are a few dozen marbles sitting on top of them.
The game requires the player to cautiously remove only one stick at a time, being careful not to let the marbles fall through. Finally, when a player removes just one too many straws, it's Kerplunk! Some or all of the marbles fall to the bottom and that player is the loser. Backs go Kerplunk too. It happens all the time and is the cause of much pain, disability and confusion.
The reason most backs fail is actually simple. It is no mystery to spinal specialists. Over the course of a lifetime, your back is subjected to numerous stresses and strains from normal activities and perhaps a few more significant injuries. They can be minor, have little symptoms, and are usually self-limiting, meaning within a few days or weeks, the pain goes away all by itself.
It is important to look deep into the back to understand what that means. Whenever there is enough stress on any joint of the back, there is some microscopic tearing of the tissue that holds you together (ligaments) and those that stabilize your back ( core muscles).
When there are these "sub-failure" micro-tear injuries happen, the body will initiate the normal process of inflammation. This process involves an amazing sequence of healing chemistry that leads to the actual repair of the injured tissue. The tissue repair is ultimately performed by specialized cells called fibroblasts. Within a few weeks, they complete the repair with what is essentially, scar tissue.
If the injured parts are not re-aligned and mobilized during healing, this poorly adapted scar tissue can glue-up the joints and limit normal movement and function.
Without normal function, the deep core stabilizing muscles don't get full action as you move through your day, and like any unused muscle, they weaken and can't do their job. This weakening is often slow and progressive. Then, just like the weakening support of the marbles as the sticks are withdrawn in the Kerplunk game, stabilization is lost and it only takes a very small stress to make your back go "Kerplunk"-more tissue damage, spasm, pain and disability.
I highly recommend you visit my Sacramento Chiropractic practice for an honest assessment of your Kerpunk-li-ness, and I'll help you keep all your marbles where they belong!

You may remember, dear reader, that I have called a bear market for equities. How am I doing so far? Well, the S&P 500 is up 13% from its February 11th intra-day low (1812). That sure doesn’t look good, does it? But I’m still convinced I’m right. I haven’t shorted the market yet, and won’t until the S&Ps break that February low. So this rally hasn’t hurt me, it’s just annoying to have to wait.Maybe Wall Street still has inventory to unload, as David Stockman says.
The signs of an impending flush are now everywhere. The March 15 release of business sales for January, for example, showed another down month. The critical inventory-to-sales ratio for the entire economy is now at 1.40—–a ratio last recorded in May 2009.
Once upon a time, when I was a young lad, investors used to watch the real economy, not the latest Fed head jabbering on CNBC. One of the things we paid keen attention to was the inventory-to-sales ratio because we knew that’s where recessions came from, and recessions were not good for the stock market.
When sales slow down, inventories build up. The build in inventories actually continues to boost GDP because the supply chain hasn’t got the message yet. When they do, they stop producing as much, inventories fall faster than sales and the GDP falls, giving us an official recession…ALWAYS after the fact. Those who watch GDP, like most economists, totally miss the boat. They never call the recession before it starts because they follow their models and not the real economy. Only highly intelligent and educated people can be this stupid, as I am fond of saying.
Business sales as reported on March 15 were down by 5.1% from their July 2014 peak. Declines of this magnitude have occurred only twice since 1992 and both times they signalled a recession.
Here is the chart of total business sales for all levels of the economy. Is this hard to understand?
The shaded areas mark recessions.
If you haven’t sold your stocks yet, the gods of the markets are giving you another chance, just an eyelash below the all-time highs. Accept the gift, dear reader, accept the gift.

My first week on the job as First Lite’s sales intern was definitely a whirlwind. Moving from PA to ID meant a lot of changes and one of the most exciting involved hunting. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on an elk tag which meant I would be going on my first spot stalk style hunt! We wasted no time and within the first few days of being in Idaho, I set out to find some elk.
pack out meat if we were successful in our hunt. We climbed and climbed quickly (working a 9-5 job only allows for so much week day hunting). Panting, sweating, and legs burning we reached the top of a ridge and began to glass. We scanned the mountains up and down, left to right, trying to spot a big brown elk. Glassing was more difficult than I had expected. The focus it requires, especially when recovering from the huffing and puffing of the climb, is another bullet point to the list of reasons why hunting is tough. To my surprise, I saw the brown blob I was looking for. It was the first elk I had seen in person and even though she was over a mile away, my excitement was uncontrollable. We watched for a minute or two longer and spotted what looked to be 2-4 other cows and possibly a bull. My first elk hunt was in full swing.
Move fast. That was all I could think while we hurried down the mountain. Daylight was against us, which added to the pressure to move quickly. We jumped back into the truck and drove about a mile to a portion of the road where we were better able to put a stalk on the elk. We were back to climbing straight up a mountain, but this time I was even more focused on staying quiet, avoiding stomping on sticks, and keeping my eyes up, ears alert. We reached the portion of the mountain where we thought we had last seen the herd. I had read it can be extremely difficult to relocate game after spotting them, and now I understood why. We paused for a second to try and determine where we saw them last when I heard ‘crunch, crunch, crunch.’ A quick hand signal and a turn of my head toward the direction of the noise and we simultaneously stopped and lowered our bodies to the ground. Here is where the classic hunting adrenaline rush ran through my body. Crouching as still as possible, eyes wide and ears intently listening, I waited while my heart pounded through chest. We continued to hear the elk crunching just 40-50 yards below us, but I still did not have eyes on them. I nocked an arrow and readied my release. There was a patch of brush blocking a portion of my view, but between a few branches, I saw her. She was about 35 yards from me, staring right into my eyes. I did not move (I don’t even think I took a breath). With her nostrils flaring and ears wiggling back and forth, I was sure she would spook off, but eventually she dropped her head and slowly moved back down the mountain. I would have taken a shot right there, but the brush was too thick and stopped me from drawing back my bow. The three of us looked at each other with a sort of “hell yeah, here we go” head nod then turned our attention back toward the action. All elk were out of sight, but we could still hear them, so I decided I would make a move toward the brush as a safe place to set up for a shot (we initially crouched down in a place with no cover) and to see if there was in fact a bull in the herd. As I began to crawl, we heard a big blow through the nose of what I like to imagine was a large bull. There must have been eyes on me that I did not see before I began to move. They knew we were there and not a second later the stampede of elk ran down the mountain. The sound of this elk herd running was louder than anything I could have imagined. I could literally feel the sounds and vibrations through my body. With that, I knew the hunt was over. I collapsed over my pack, dropped by bow, and felt the strangest sensation of exhilaration and heart break all in one moment. I was so overwhelmed with happiness to have had such an experience for my first elk hunt, and crushed with defeat because I had spooked the herd off. It was such a beautiful, raw moment that I will surely never forget.

Annо 2205 is a city-building and economic simulation game, with real-time strategy elements, as opposed to the previous installments which feature a historical setting.
In the game, players take on the role of a leader from a corporation and must compete against other corporations in developing future technologies.
At the beginning of the game, players are tasked to build different metropolises on Earth.
Population increases when more buildings are built, and players are tasked to satisfy and fulfill the needs of their citizens.
Besides building houses, players must also produce goods and to build infrastructures like robot production facilities to maintain economy.
These buildings can be relocated or moved around by players. Similar to SimCity, different parts can be added to buildings to enhance their functions.
Upgrading the production structures of these buildings can also improve their efficiency.

Figures for top states show firstly the states where most people called ALCARAZ live. This obviously tends to be biased towards the most populous states. The second set of figures show where people called ALCARAZ represent the biggest proportion of the population. So, in this case, there are more people called ALCARAZ in California than any other state, but you are more likely to find a ALCARAZ by picking someone at random in California than anywhere else.
The following names have similar spellings or pronunciations as ALCARAZ.
The following words are slight variants of ALCARAZ that are likely to be possible typos or misspellings in written material.

Spem in alium was written by Thomas Tallis in c1570 and stands apart from most other choral music because it is written for 40 parts. Most choral music, regardless of the number of people in the choir, only has 4-6 parts. Just for its sheer flamboyance, Spem is famed among choristers due to the challenges of learning and performing it.
Delving into the details of how the music is constructed, rather than being written for a single choir of 40 voices, it is written for eight choirs each of five voices. Each choir comprises one soprano, one alto and either two tenors and one baritone, or one tenor and two baritones.
I decided it would be fun to experiment with recording it, although I don’t currently have access to a choir of 40 with the time to learn and perform it! I thought about William Orbit‘s recording of Barber’s Adagio for Strings and how well the gentle synthesised sounds worked for him. I’m no expert at electronic music but it is something I have played with in the past.
Being out of copyright, it was easy (and legal!) to obtain a MIDI file of Spem which contains the 40 parts as separate tracks. I imported it into my favourite musical editor, MuseScore, and had a look at the tracks.
For those not in the know, MIDI files don’t contain sound but rather are the computerised equivalent of sheet music – they contain instructions about what notes to play. The computer generates the sound during playback by using a soundfont, which contains sound samples. Just like a real font with a text document, you can change the soundfont for a different sound. The default soundfont with MuseScore is reasonably good but the choir sound is lacking. I downloaded a few free soundfonts until I found one with a choir sound that I liked.
As well as using a soundfont to play MIDI files back, MuseScore can generate a WAV or MP3 sound file from the MIDI file. I got MuseScore to export each choral part as a separate sound file, which can then be edited using a multi-track sound editor – in my case, Adobe Audition. I told MuseScore not to add any effects like reverb to the output, as I’ll do that later.
Traditionally, when performing Spem, the 40 choristers stand in a semicircular shape around the conductor, grouped in their eight choirs. This is how I configured my first attempt with the 40 singers standing in a semicircle.
I wondered about arranging the voices grouped not in choirs but in parts: into soprano, alto, tenor and baritone. This would mean all the high notes coming from the left and all the low notes from the right, and that would also sound odd.
Eventually I decided to sort the voices using a numerical pattern to split up the choirs and the parts so there would be no overall weighting. I made a spreadsheet to work out the ordering, and then spread the 40 voices over the arc, 5 degrees apart with a total spread of 200 degrees – just over a full semicircle.
With the positioning set, I applied gentle compression to each individual voice part to limit the dynamic range and then added a surround reverb to the master channel (i.e., after the parts have been mixed). I chose a cathedral reverb for a long duration and a large, swimmy effect.
The final recording was mastered for 5.1 surround but there’s also a stereo version for Internet compatibility.
As a bonus, I’ve also included Spem rendered for more traditional electronic synthesizers, with each of the eight choirs taking on a different synthesized sound.
Last but not least, I thought I’d render a recording of another of my favourite choral pieces, When to the temple Mary went by Johannes Eccard. It was written around the same time as Spem and also sound richer than the average choral motet because it is written for six parts rather than the more common four. I experimented with sounds but didn’t like either the choral or synth takes, so I decided to render it for string sextet. I think it works quite nicely, and if I can ever get my hands on a real string sextet then I will ask them to play it!

spem in alium was written by thomas tallis in c1570 and stands apart from most other choral music because it is written for 40 parts. most choral music, regardless of the number of people in the choir, only has 4-6 parts. just for its sheer flamboyance, spem is famed among choristers due to the challenges of learning and performing it.
delving into the details of how the music is constructed, rather than being written for a single choir of 40 voices, it is written for eight choirs each of five voices. each choir comprises one soprano, one alto and either two tenors and one baritone, or one tenor and two baritones.
i decided it would be fun to experiment with recording it, although i don’t currently have access to a choir of 40 with the time to learn and perform it! i thought about william orbit‘s recording of barber’s adagio for strings and how well the gentle synthesised sounds worked for him. i’m no expert at electronic music but it is something i have played with in the past.

Independence Day. John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, the following: "It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore."
They had just finished the Declaration of Independence, letting the big boys back in England know that they were fed up.
Tired of the shackles, inane regulations and the out-of-touch regulators themselves.
I wonder what the signers would have thought the next year, if some city fathers decided that the kids could not light off a firecracker. Maybe there would have been a second Boston Tea Party.
OK, I can accept the "No Fireworks" in the county-rural areas. But wouldn't it have made sense to allow fireworks inside the city limits? I am a lifelong Kansas resident, having lived through some really dry years. Firecrackers and other fun things are what make Independence Day what it is. Kids need the opportunity to step on a burning ember or experience a firecracker popping their fingers. I don't recall a house fire in Hays due to fireworks since moving here in 1970. This is the second year for this limitation.
Now that our governing regulators have established policy to do away with what John Adams envisioned, the sad refrain begins. The fat lady sings and weeps.
I plan on buying some firecrackers in Plainville. There will be a "Hays Tea Party" on the Fourth of July. Bang, bang.

For much of the last decade, Apple has been consolidating its control over the chips embedded in its products to support graphics, machine learning and other tasks. Inside some of its latest iPhones is another custom chip, a new main power management IC (PMIC) that Apple designed to prolong battery life. Dialog Semiconductor had until recently been selling Apple that part.
The importance of this tiny component came through on Thursday. As part of a $600 million deal, Dialog said it would license the main PMIC technology it developed for the iPhone and transfer around 300 chip engineers to Apple. The company said that the deal allowed it to continue selling main PMICs to other customers and in other markets like the Internet of Things.
Apple is technically paying $300 million in the transaction, which includes patents and licenses from Dialog. The other $300 million is a prepayment for other products to be shipped to Apple within the next three years. Most of the 300 employees being transferred in the deal—which account for around 16 percent of Dialog's total workforce—were already working on chips specifically for Apple products.
On Thursday, Dialog also announced that it had signed new contracts with Apple to supply power management, audio subsystem, charging and mixed-signal integrated circuits. The company, whose shares increased 25 percent following the news, said that it would start earning revenue from the new contracts next year. Another part of the deal: Apple will take over four Dialog offices in Italy, Germany and Britain.
The deal not only removes the uncertainty around Dialog’s relationship with Apple. It could also bolster the company’s attempts to reduce its dependence on Apple. That means expanding its presence in markets like the Internet of Things, which includes smart home appliances and smart watches. The company expects its advanced mixed-signal, connectivity, automotive and industrial businesses to grow between 10 and 15 percent from 2018 to 2022.
“We believe that this transaction is in the best interests of our employees and shareholders who will benefit from a business with enhanced focus, strong growth prospects and additional financial flexibility to invest in strategic growth initiatives,” said Jalal Bagherli, the company’s chief executive officer, in a statement. “Going forward, we will have a clear strategic focus,” he added.
Supplying chips for hundreds of millions of iPhones and other Apple products every year can fundamentally change a company’s fortunes. But the sudden loss of that business can have catastrophic results. Over the last decade, Apple has been ramping up the development of custom chips for tasks like image processing and machine learning. The company introduced its first ARM-based SoC for the iPhone and iPad in 2010.
The potential dangers were underlined when Imagination Technologies announced last year that Apple would remove its graphics processing units (GPUs) from the iPhone’s core chipset for the first time in a decade. Apple developed a homegrown GPU architecture in its place to improve realism of reflected light and other graphics. The move eliminated a significant amount of Imagination’s business, which has been split up and sold off.
Apple deployed the same strategy with Dialog, which will continue selling main power management products to the Cupertino, California-based company before they are gradually scooped out of the iPhone and Apple's other hardware starting in 2019. Bagherli said that the company would continue supplying Apple with current and future generations of another power management chip, the sub-PMIC.
Before Thursday’s announcement, Dialog's market value had been cleaved in half over the last year amid warnings that Apple would develop custom power management chips. For much of the last year, Bagherli has struggled to tamp down concerns about its business. In June, the company acknowledged that Apple was adding another source for its PMIC components. That caused Dialog to lower its projected 2018 sales by around five percent.
Dialog said that the deal would not reduce this year’s revenue. But the company will not take home any revenue from the main PMIC components inside the 2019 iPhone or the 2020 iPad and Apple Watch. Revenue from the licensing deal with Apple is estimated to be $875 million in 2018. But it will decline in the second half of next year, phasing out by 2022. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2019.
Following the deal, the company’s headcount will decline to around 1,800. Its sub-PMIC business with Apple, on target for $150 million before the end of the year, is projected to increase to around $450 million by 2022. Dialog expects Apple to account for between 35 and 40 percent of its 2022 revenues, down from an estimated 75 percent this year, the company said.

In August of 2018 Luis Javier Hernandez the Mayor of Villalba Puerto Rico traveled to Hoboken NJ to meet with Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla and City Council President Ruben Ramos Jr. Mayor Hernandez described the conditions of his city after Hurricane Maria and the challenges he is faced with. Mayor Bhalla decided to adopt Villalba, Puerto Rico as Hoboken’s sister city and committed to help them by donating 3 police cars and 360 bullet proof panels to be used with their bullet proof vests to help his police force. On Wednesday, January 16, 2019 the city council unanimously voted to donate 3 Hoboken police cars and 360 bullet proof vests to the city of Villalba, Puerto Rico to help rebuild their fleet.
In addition to the police equipment Director Leo Pellegrini, The Puerto Rican Culture Committee, Hoboken High school Hispanic club, More4amore, and Joe Branco decided to collect used kids soccer and baseball equipment to send to the boys and girls of Villalba Puerto Rico. With the help of the Hoboken Community we collected a lot of equipment.
The Rotary Club of Jersey City will be handling all the logistics to help ship and deliver all 3 police cars, vests, and kids sporting equipment we have been collecting over the last couple of months.
We are having a fundraiser on Monday, February 11th at Texas Arizona in Hoboken. We are having this event to bring awareness to our mission and to raise money to assist with some of the transportation costs associated with the donation of these items to Puerto Rico.
