In this article, it will be discussed whether or not an unplugged electric guitar will sound good.
Most people wonder if an electric guitar does sound good unplugged. That's an expected question, since the electric guitar, as its name suggests, isn't made for an acoustic sound. On the other hand, most players don't have an amplifier yet or can only practice the instrument at night, making it difficult or inappropriate to be played plugged.
Do Electric Guitars Sound Good Unplugged?
No, electric guitars don't sound well unplugged, since the instrument is made to be played with an amp. You must know that the guitar's sound without an amp is totally different from its unplugged sound. So playing unplugged will make you acquire inappropriate technical habits.
When you play it unplugged, the instrument's timbre loses brightness and dynamics. That means that the characteristic sound of the guitar will vanish, leaving its place to a tone without any color and volume variation.
Even if it's a proper solution to practice without making noise, the custom of doing it will certainly change how you approach the instrument's technique. The tendency that you'll have playing unplugged will then be to compensate for the deficiency by putting unbalanced force on the strings.
On the other hand, you may see unplugged playing as a means of solving technical problems. Even though it seems strange, it also makes sense, since the unplugged guitar doesn't have any effects and amplification that can be used to cover these technical problems.
Electric guitar plugged
Electric guitar unplugged
You listen to the guitar as it would sound in a live concert
The electric guitar may sound good unplugged but sound bad when you plug it after
Effects may cover technical problems
There are no effects to cover any technical problems, which forces you to develop your technique
The dynamics are just as they actually sound
The lack of dynamic/accent possibilities will make you acquire bad habits
The timbre will be just as you want it to sound
The lack of timbre color will make it frustrating to play
You can only play close to the amp
You can practice warm-up exercises while doing other things
Exaggerated pressure on the left hand will be heard and avoided
Exaggerated pressure on the left hand won't be heard, leading to bad habits
But let's go more in-depth about how it would sound unplugged:
How does the electric guitar sound unplugged?
The unplugged electric guitar sounds quite poor and bright. The sound is not loud, since the instrument is made to be played plugged. On the other hand, the semi-acoustic guitars, which have a more acoustically planned body, produce a stronger and heavier sound.
These semi-acoustic guitars, unlike the others, have a tone and volume closer to the acoustic ones and you can even record them without an amp. That isn't the most recommended, since it continues to be primarily electric, but it can be done.
On the other hand, the hard rock guitars have an extremely low volume and a tone that differs more from the acoustic guitars. That is because their bodies are differently created according to their purpose.
We can say that the purely electric guitars have 4/5 times less volume than the acoustic ones. On the other hand, the semi-acoustic ones have approximately half the volume of an acoustic. The tone quality of them is equally proportional. While the electric has a different sound, the semi-acoustic is closer to the sound of an acoustic guitar.
So if you wonder if your neighbors will hear your electric guitar unplugged, don't worry. That will never happen.
Will playing the electric guitar unplugged negatively impact your technique when plugged in?
Yes, playing the electric guitar unplugged will negatively impact your technique. Since the instrument was made to be played with an amplifier, playing it without will get your fingers used to bad habits. These include putting excessive force on the strings or even playing it too soft.
That means that you will get accustomed to a way of playing the instrument that is very different from the way you should play it. When you go back to using the amp, your technical habits will have to change drastically.
As you weren't used to playing plugged, when you go back to it, the high volume of the notes will "scare" your ears, and that will make you subconsciously play too soft, sounding insecure and with a weird tone.
Now imagine if this change occurs only at the moment of a presentation. The dynamics, the accents of the notes, and the tone will occur differently from what you expected. That's because you weren't actually playing an electric guitar (amplified), but a "weird acoustic guitar" with almost no sound.
As said Fred Frith once:
[…] There is actually no such thing as an electric guitar. This [holding up his modified Gibson ES-335] is not really an instrument. I can say that this is not an electric guitar, but it doesn't become an electric guitar until I plug it in. And also send it through whatever I want to send it to [indicating his pedalboard]. It's only this, plus that, plus that [pointing to amplifier], which is an electric guitar." – Fred Frith
These are some of the technical problems that you will certainly develop playing without an amp:
- Loss of dynamic/accent balance between the notes
- Weird tone, sounding "insecure" and unbalanced.
- Too much pressure playing chords on the left hand (which will sound when plugged)
Why would you want to play your electric guitar without an amplifier?
- Solve technical Problems: That's because the unplugged guitar hasn't any effects that will help cover your technical imperfections. The use of reverb, distortion or even amplification can serve as means to hide your poor technique. Playing it unplugged will make you more aware of your difficulties, which is the first step to solving them. That's why some electric guitar players also practice the acoustic guitar.
- Playing At Night: It can be an excellent way to continue practicing if you have only the nighttime to do it. Neighbors and family will be grateful for that. But you need to know that there are some other possibilities to solve this problem, which will be presented further on.
- Practice warm-up exercises: You can also play it without an amp to practice warm-up exercises, which don't require much attention to the sound. These exercises, when correctly mastered, are only for warming up before actually practicing. Since they're entirely mechanical, playing them without plugged sound will allow you to practice even while doing other things.
What Can I Use If I Don't Have An Amp?
If you don't have an amp, there are plenty of possibilities available today that can serve your purposes. You can either play it using your PC/Mac (with or without headphones), using an iOS device, a headphone amp, a portable amplifier, or even use your home stereo system. But you have to know that each one of these has its costs and requisites.
- PC/Mac: for that, you must buy an audio interface. Although it is still a cost, it's usually cheaper than an amp and can be used to record your playing. That's because it isn't possible to connect the guitar to the computer with a reasonable quality without using an interface. To record it, you will connect your guitar to the audio interface and the interface to the computer. Then, you will need to download/buy a DAW software, like Reaper or Pro Tools, and an amp simulator, like Amplitude. Having done that, you'll simply play and, if you want, record the instrument there. If you have a good speaker system, the experience of playing will be even better. That's because you'll be able to download your favorite "amp" and play it as if it was a real one.
- iOS or Android device: if you want to use an iPad/iPhone or a Samsung (for example), you'll need a way to plug your guitar in. The easiest way to do that is using an iRig, which you can easily buy on Amazon. Once it's connected, you can either play it using a speaker or headphones, and the experience will be fantastic! Using the iRig HD 2, you'll even have access to the full version of Amplitude, which will allow you to choose between numerous types of amp simulators.
- Headphone amp: using a headphone amp, you will be able to hear your guitar as it sounds, but you're the only one that will listen to your playing. That's because the sound will be transmitted to the headphones, as its name suggests. That signifies that you'll have at your disposal a variety of timbres and effects, but you will only hear that. A good example of a headphone amp is the Valeton Rushead Max, which allows you to use chorus, flanger, tremolo, and other effects. It's an excellent choice if you want to practice with a variety of timbres without having to pay too much.
- Portable amplifier: that may also be an excellent choice since you'll have the sound of the electric guitar as it would sound life, but at a low volume. In other words, you'll be perfectly capable of practicing any music without necessarily having to use headphones, but the sound won't be loud.
- Your home stereo system: in terms of quality, that isn't

- kilter •
Pronunciation: kil-têr • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, mass
Meaning: Good condition, health, tune, or spirits.
Notes: Kilter is another word on its last leg that we would like to rescue from the lexical boneyard. We hear it today almost exclusively in the expression "out of kilter". However, the use of this Good Word is by no means limited to a single negative phrase.
In Play: Dr. Goodword is frequently asked, "If something is not out of kilter, is it 'in kilter'?" "Yes," is always the good doctor's answer: "Everyone at the party was in good kilter so the party was a great success." Anything that can be out of kilter can as well be in good kilter: "The choir is sounding better, but their music still isn't in perfect kilter."
Word History: Today's Good Word is a corruption of kelter, but a corruption that began in the middle of the 17th century, so there is little chance of going back now. Kelter is still preserved in some British dialects, but kilterclearly is favored today. The question is, then, where does kelter come from and the straightforward answer is that no one has the foggiest notion. No semantically related words resembling kelter can be found in English or any other language in its family. That leaves us with little more to say about this word except to thank Perry Dror for his contribution to keeping our Good Word series in high kilter by suggesting fascinating words like today's.

Series 1,2 and 3 Gearboxes
One Gear at a Time
4 Speed Gearboxes
Series 1, 2, 2a and 3 Land Rover gearboxes
The series I & II, IIA and Series III of the Land Rover gearbox remained basically unchanged from 1948 until 1970. There are 3 versions of gearboxes (transmissions) generally credited to the early Model Land Rovers.
Common and known Series I gearbox problems develop because of the low power of the 1.6 or 2l engines of the early models. In addition, the relative light weight of the vehicle itself.
The common faults include:
Second Gear damage - due to no synchromesh
Chipping of the gears
Broken main shafts
In 1958, Land Rover increased the size of the engine to try and overcome some of the early problems, however, as they used the same gearbox innards in a new housing (to fit the new engines) the problems instead of being fixed became amplified.
In 1961, Land Rover changed the gearbox specification with the introduction of the Series IIA. The Series IIA main gearbox had been strengthened to cope with larger engines and remove the earlier modification problems but also pave the way for the introduction of the 6 cylinder engine without problem.
In 1971, Land Rover opted to introduce an all new gearbox with the Series III, with the main differences being a larger clutch and the inclusion of a 4 speed synchromesh.
The Early models of the Land Rover used two types of clutch mechanism. The Series I and Series IIA used the more complicated system (some say more robust), while the Series III used a simple arm within the bell housing.

What are they?
While a general Location will work for most of your needs, there are times when you need an additional level of specificity about an item's location. Sub Locations give you the ability to store even more detailed location-related information.
An example of this would be a situation where you have a storage facility and want to have a more specific description of where the item is located i.e. Storage Facility: Bin 20. Where "Storage Facility" is the Location and "Bin 20" is the sub-location. This is also handy for drawers, floors, and other situations that call for more location detail.
Note: Sub-locations are available only on Organization plans.
How do I create a Sub-Location?
There are few ways to do this and here are the most common.
Creating a Sub-Location within a new Location:
Click on Locations in the left-side menu. Then click New in the top menu.
During the process of adding a new Location you can add Sub Locations by clicking the blue Add Sub-Location on the right-hand side.
Adding Sub-Locations to an existing Location
Click on Locations in the left-side menu and then select the Location to which you'd like to add a Sub-Location.
Once on that Location's page, you can click Sub-Locations in the top menu.
Then select Add/Edit Sub Locations. This will allow you to create a new Sub-Location for that Location.
How do I assign a Piece to an existing Sub-Location?
Click on Artwork on the left-side menu.
Select the artwork you want to assign to a Sub-Location.
Then click on the blue New Location Record next to Location History.
Choose a Location from the drop-down menu or click the New Location button and enter the information. Choose the Sub-Location from the drop-down menu. Click Save.

Since $X_1$ and $X_2$ are independent, the characteristic function of $Y$ is the product of the characteristic functions of $X_1$ and $X_2$, the characteristic function of a $\chi^2$ distribution with $r$ degrees of freedom is $(1-2ik)^{-r/2}$ ($k$ is theFourier variable). Thus the characteristic function of $X_2$ is $(1-2ik)^{-(r-r_1)/2}$

This theme contains data about the population size of the Emirate according to the population censuses conducted during the period 1975–2005 along with population estimates for the period after 2005. Moreover, it includes data on the age and household type structure of the population besides the demographic, educational, marital and employment characteristics during the censuses conducted in (1993, 2000 and 2005) and its associated estimates. Additionally, it also contains the main characteristics of the emirate's households during the mentioned census years.
At the same time, births and deaths data are two of the main three essential factors, besides immigration, that directly affect population growth rate and demographic changes in the society. Therefore, a special section was devoted under this theme to cover vital statistics which includes births and deaths statistics according to the different characteristics such as gender, age, nationality, marriage contracts and registered divorce cases.
The study of population developments is significantly important because it is the basis upon which development plans, in several fields such as education, health, labor market, and others, are built. Understanding population structure of any society in terms of gender, age, occupation, education and marital status...etc, provides planners, policy and decision makers with needed data and information for formulating appropriate and adequate plans for all society segments.

Modifiers: unix format
Next to the name, you can specify a format code. With (gnu) "gettext()", you often see this:
 printf gettext("approx pi: %.6f\n"), PI;
Locale::TextDomain has two ways:
 printf __"approx pi: %.6f\n", PI;
 print __x"approx pi: {approx}\n", approx => sprintf("%.6f", PI);
The first does not respect the wish to be able to reorder the arguments during translation (although there are ways to work around that) The second version is quite long. The content of the translation table differs between the examples.
With "Log::Report", above syntaxes do work, but you can also do:
 # with optional translations
 print __x"approx pi: {pi%.6f}\n", pi => PI;
The base for "__x()" is the printi() provided by this module. Internally, it will call "printi" to fill in parameters:
Another example:
 printi "{perms} {links%2d} {user%−8s} {size%10d} {fn}\n"
 , perms => '−rw−r−−r−−', links => 7, user =>'me'
 , size => 12345, fn => $filename;
An additional advantage is the fact that not all languages produce comparable length strings. Now, the translators can take care that the layout of tables is optimal. Above example in printp() syntax, shorter but less maintainable:
 printp "%s %2d %−8s 10d %s\n"
 , '−rw−r−−r−−', 7,'me', 12345, $filename;
Modifiers: unix format improvements
The POSIX "printf()" does not handle unicode strings. Perl does understand that the 's' modifier may need to insert utf8 so does not count bytes but characters. "printi()" does not use characters but "grapheme clusters" via Unicode::GCString. Now, also composed characters do work correctly.
Additionally, you can use the new 'S' conversion to count in columns. In fixed-width fonts, graphemes can have width 0, 1 or 2. For instance, Chinese characters have width 2. When printing in fixed-width, this 'S' is probably the better choice over 's'. When the field does not specify its width, then there is no performance penalty for using 'S'.
Modifiers: private modifiers
You may pass your own modifiers. A modifier consists of a selector and a CODE, which is called when the selector matches. The selector is either a string or a regular expression.
 # in Object Oriented syntax:
 my $f = String::Print−>new
 ( modifiers => [ qr/[XX]/ => \&money ]
 # in function syntax:
 use String::Print 'printi','sprinti'
 , modifiers => [ qr/[XX]/ => \&money ];
 # the implementation:
 sub money$$$$)
 { my ($formatter, $modif, $value, $args) = _USER_;
 $modif eq 'X'? sprintf("%.2f EUR", $value+0.0001)
 : $modif eq 'X'? sprintf("%.2f GBP", $value/1.16+0.0001)
 : 'ERROR';
Using printp() makes it a little shorter, but will become quite complex when there are more parameter in one string.
 printi "price: {pX}", p => $pi; # price: 3.14 EUR
 printi "price: {pX}", p => $pi; # price: 2.71 GBP
 printp "price: %{X}s", $pi; # price: 3.14 EUR
 printp "price: %{X}s", $pi; # price: 2.71 GBP
This is very useful in the translation context, where the translator can specify abstract formatting rules. As example, see the ( GNU ) gettext files, in the translation table for Dutch into English. The translator tells us which currency to use in the display.
 msgid "kostprijs: {pX}"
 msgstr "price: {pX}"
Another example. Now, we want to add timestamps. In this case, we decide for modifier names in "\w", so we need a blank to separate the parameter from the modifer.
 use POSIX qw/strftime/;
 use String::Print modifiers => [ qr/T|DT|D/ => \&_timestamp ];
 sub _timestamp($$$$)
 my $time_format
 = $modif eq 'T' ? '%T'
 : $modif eq 'D' ? '%F'
 : $modif eq 'DT'? '%FT%TZ'
 : 'ERROR';
 strftime $time_format, gmtime($value);
 printi "time: {t T}", t => $now; # time: 10:59:17
 printi "date: {t D }", t => $now; # date: 2013−04−13
 printi "both: {t DT}", t => $now; # both: 2013−04−13T10:59:17Z
 printp "time: %{T}s", $now; # time: 10:59:17
 printp "date: %{D}s", $now; # date: 2013−04−13
 printp "both: %{DT}s", $now; # both: 2013−04−13T10:59:17Z
Modifiers: stacking
You can add more than one modifier. The modifiers detect the extend of their own information (via a regular expression), and therefore the formatter understands where one ends and the next begins.
The modifiers are called in order:
 printi "price: {pX%9s}\n", p => $p; # price: XXX123.45
 printi ">{t T%10s}<", t => $now; # >XX12:59:17<
 printp "price: %9{X}s\n", $p; # price: XXX123.45
 printp ">%10{T}s<", $now; # >XX12:59:17<
Compared to other modules on CPAN
There are a quite a number of modules on CPAN which extend the functionality of "printf()". To name a few: String::Format <>, String::Errf , String::Formatter , Text::Sprintf::Named <>, Acme::StringFormat <>, Text::sprintf <>, Log::Sprintf <>, and String::Sprintf <>. They are all slightly different.
When the "String::Print" module was created, none of the modules mentioned above handled unicode correctly. Global configuration of serializers and modifiers is also usually not possible, sometimes provided per explicit function call. Only "String::Print" cleanly separates the roles of serializers, modifiers, and conversions.
"String::Print" is nicely integrated with Log::Report.
This module is part of String-Print distribution version 0.15, built on March 14, 2014. Website:−report/

Facts about Portland's Historic Mausoleum
Nine Interesting Facts about Portland's Historic Mausoleum
In Architecture, History, Portland, Stained Glass
There are many surprising and interesting things to learn about The Portland Mausoleum and its rich history. and carefully preserved architecture and elegance. Here are ten we think you should know:
Facts about Portland's Historic Mausoleum
 1. This historic building is the oldest crematory west of the Mississippi, having been established in 1901.
 2. The building consists of 8 floors, 3 elevators, and over 7 miles of indoor corridors.
 3. Most of the stained glass art in the many skylights and windows were designed, constructed and installed by the Povey brothers, A. A. Gerlich, and Louis C. Tiffany.
 4. The Povey brothers are entombed at the Mausoleum.
 5. Most of the marble statuary in the mausoleum was hand-carved from Carrara marble at the Taverlli Studios in Italy, then shipped to Oregon.
 6. The Mausoleum houses one of three exact re-creations of Michelangelo's famous Pietà. Weighing close to 7,000 lbs, the replica was carved by Taverelli Studios in 1969 using marble from the same Italian quarry where Michelangelo carved the original Pietà in 1499.
 7. Because of its unique construction of steel, granite, and concrete, the Portland Memorial Mausoleum was designated as a bomb shelter during WWII.
 8. Today, there are approximately 95,000 memorials incorporated within the building spread out over 4 acres. It would require approximately 75 acres to accomplish this in a traditional cemetery.
Wilhelm's Portland Memorial Funeral Home, Mausoleum, and Crematory is located at 6705 SE 14th Avenue in Portland, Oregon.

A localization method based on an enhanced particle filter incorporating tournament selection and Nelder-Mead simplex search (NM-EPF) for autonomous mobile robots navigating in a soccer robot game field is proposed in this paper. To analyze the environment, an omnidirectional vision device is mounted on top of the robot. Through detecting the white boundary lines relative to the robot in the game field, weighting for each particle representing the robot's pose can be iteratively updated via the proposed NM-EPF algorithm. Thanks to the hybridization effect of the NM-EPF, particles converge to the actual position of the robot in a responsive way while tackling uncertainties. Simulation and experiment results have confirmed that the proposed NM-EPF has better localization performance in the soccer robot game field in comparison to the conventional particle filter.

Syncretism has often been defined as the integration or secondary construction of selective aspects that come from different historic traditions. The concept has been particularly relevant for Mexican anthropology, confronted since its origins to religious contexts in which it is difficult to distinguish between the vernacular field and the external field, between what comes from ancient Pre-Colombian traditions and what is a product of the colonial undertaking.Sigue leyendo

The program notes give some insight into the poetic ideas embedded in
Simulacra. In this work, Bell uses a clear, strong set of chords of
double-stopped chords to separate each section of the music:
Design a "composition flow chart". With a partner, listen to the piece several times. Draw a flowchart of the main ideas of the piece, using both musical language (ie., staccato passages,) and non-musical language (ie., sounds like an eagle cry). The chords shown above enter at different points throughout the music, and help to reveal the form and structure of the piece. On your listening chart, use the chords as a signpost - every time they enter, there is something new coming in the music. Try to make it fit on one sheet of 8&1/2 X 11 inch paper.

Project: AHRC/CDA in partnership with Historic Scotland and the Tank Museum Quantifying corrosion of historical wrought iron and steel to develop predictive preservation methods and strategies
Tank at the Tank Museum (copyright: Tank Museum)
This AHRC/CDA studentship project begins in October 2012. It will quantitatively determine corrosion rates of wrought iron and modern steels then assess the performance of selected protective coatings on their surfaces within a range of controlled environments. The data will be contextualized for heritage by examining how it can be used in evidence based management of ferrous metal heritage. Project partners are Historic Scotland and The Tank Museum, who will take an active part in the research, trial its outcomes and offer strong communication routes for dissemination to the sector.
This 3-year £365,000 interdisciplinary project was awarded to Cardiff University and is funded by the AHRC/EPSRC Science and Heritage Large Grants programme. David Watkinson is the Principal Investigator. It began in 2010 and it will define and measure the variables which influence the corrosion rate of archaeological and historic iron artefacts using real archaeological objects. Further to this it will develop methods of measuring the corrosive potential of storage and display environments. The project is a partnership between the Cardiff University Department of Archaeology and Conservation and the University of Manchester School of Materials.
Corrosion, cracking and lamination of archaeological iron hinge fragment.
Cardiff University Department of Archaeology and Conservation carried out scientific research that underpinned the preservation of Brunel's 1843 iron steamship ss Great Britain (Link to new project page on ss Great Britain.). The ship is a major visitor attraction in Bristol receiving 170,000 visitors in 2010 compared to 70,000 p.a. before its conservation. The preservation process is highly visible and involves desiccating the ship to stop it corroding, consequently it forms an integral part of the visitor experience. There is a feeling that Brunel would be proud of the cutting edge science and technology preserving his ship, as it sits well with his reputation as an innovator. The project has received £44,000 in funding. Collaboration and research with ss Great Britain trust continues to date.
The desiccated space beneath the dock roof and the ship sitting in the dry dock in which it was originally constructed
This £24,000 one year project is funded by Historic Scotland who are collaborating with Cardiff University to examine differing ways of removing paint from historic wrought iron, such as railings and canopies, in preparation for repainting. The goal is to begin to construct an evidence based platform for the conservation of historic wrought iron, leading to best practice guidelines for maintenance procedures.

Argent falls into the categories of both "surnames as first names" and "word names," though they share the same source: the Old (and Modern) French argent "silver."
Silver's association with the moon goes back to ancient times. It has long been believed to enhance the power of the moon, capable of forging a strong link between the the physical and metaphysical worlds.
The surname probably arose as a nickname for someone with silver hair, while the word has been used in the past as a noun (for a silver coin) and an adjective.
Nowadays, it is mostly confined to heraldry, where it is used of both silver and white in coats of arms.
The Old French word came from the Latin for silver argentum, which gives us the chemical symbol for silver — Ag.
It is cognate with the Welsh arian "silver" — which is still used to mean "money" in Welsh — which is found in more than one Welsh name, such as Arianwen, which combines it with gwyn "white," "pure," and "blessed," and Arianell, which combines it with gell "yellow," and "shining."
It may also feature in the name of the Goddess Arianrhod — which is popularly interpreted as meaning "silver wheel" and a reference to the moon.
Caer Arianrhod is the Welsh name for the Milky Way.
The Common Celtic word from which arian derived was *arganto-, and the "g" is preserved in the medieval name Argante — used by Layamon in the twelfth century epic poem Brut as the name of the Queen of Avalon.
She is usually identified with Morgan le Fay, and there are those who argue that the name derives from an older form of Arianrhod.
Another old form is Eraint, which features in the epithet of the mythical Welsh figure Lludd Llaw Eraint "Lludd of the Silver Hand."
This form also happens to demonstrate well the etymological relation between arian and the Modern Welsh Eirian "shining."
Meanwhile, its Sanskrit cognate is Arjuna, a name borne by a hero of the epic Mahabharata. The modern Hindi form of the name is Arjun.
Argent itself is first found as a given name as early as the sixteenth century, interestingly enough as a girl's name. This probably represented a simpler form of Argentea, which was taken directly from the Latin argenteus meaning "silvery" and "of silver."
By the nineteenth century, it is more commonly found as a boy's name, often as a middle name, indicative that the surname was now the principal source.
Today, Argent is a rarity. It has never reached the top 1000 in America, and only even appears in the data at all on one occasion, in 1926, when five girls were given the name.
Bursting as it is with heritage and meaning, I think it makes for a great unusual and contemporary choice for a boy or a girl. What do you think?


Learning from the elders
The peculiar program of the Grand École du Droit (GED) encourages its students to choose at an early stage the legal field they want to study later on. Indeed, once we come back from our LLM year, we have to apply for our « Masters 2 », which mean that it's necessary for us to know very early what we appreciate or not.
However, when you're a second-year law school student, it's quite difficult to determine which legal area is interesting or not. Being a GED student means living in the fast lane (_URL_ it also means taking important decisions before other students, and this can become confusing.
Fortunately, being a GED student implies benefiting from a cooperation spirit and from an alumni network, which often facilitate our lives. Concerned about our worries and academic guidance, several former GED students came to advise us! Some are still studying (masters 2, bar school …), others have already begun their career, but all of them have endured these 3 years as GED students and lived an LLM experience. Through short meetings of an hour with the current GED students (GED 1, 2 & 3), each of them presented their academic background and the courses that composed their LLM as well as their masters 2.

What are the differences between bass and guitar heads? I have recently obtained a Hartke cab and I am looking at heads. I see that there are heads just specifically made for bass cabs. why can I not use a guitar head to power my cab?
The demands on an amplifier/speaker combo designed to reproduce the sounds desired for bass guitar are different than for a regular guitar.
To accurately and faithfully reproduce the low frequencies needed for bass guitar, the speaker surface must be able to move a greater distance and move more air. This greater movement demands more room in the cabinet and either a closed back or ported design. The larger overall volume of speaker surface used for bass cabinets combined with the large movement required to reproduce lower frequencies - results in greater acoustic pressure. Therefore the bass cabinets tend to provide a greater overall volume within the cabinets - and/or a porting mechanism to prevent the pressure from the back of the cabinet from interfering with the sound waves coming from the front of the speakers.
Getting that much real estate inside the bass cabinet and combining an amplifier head in the same box (as in a combo amp) would make the overall size of the unit unwieldy due to size and weight. That is why it is common for bass amplifiers to come in two pieces. It allows for large volume cabinets with heavy magnets to move large speakers a greater distance. Combo's exist for use in practice or small venues where less volume is required.
Historically, most guitar amps are combos - meaning the amp head and speaker cabinet are combined into one. Guitar speakers don't have to deal with the low frequencies, thus smaller speakers are more common (for cleaner reproduction of the higher frequencies a regular guitar produces), and open backed cabinets can be effectively used reducing overall weight further. Recently amp manufacturers have been inventing more low wattage "guitar heads", but the smaller wattage heads are primarily used for getting a tube amp sound in recording applications and the larger guitar heads are designed for getting bigger sound in large venues when coupled with an appropriate stack of speakers.
Getting back to the crux of your question. You could use a guitar amp head to power your cabinet but you must be careful to get a proper and compatible match for both power and impedance.
For one thing, you will need sufficient power to drive the speakers. But be careful not to get more power in your head than the speakers are rated for. Most bass cabinets have speakers rated for 100 watts or greater. A multi speaker cabinet will have a higher overall power handling capacity than each individual speaker. Ideally your power amp should provide less power than the maximum power the speakers are rated for. A good bet would be an amp head that provides about 50% to 75% of the power the speakers are rated for. But too little power may fail to satisfactorily drive your speakers. So if the speaker cabinet is rated for 400 watts and your head only provides 60 watts, your tone may suffer significantly.
The other thing that is critical in matching a head with a cabinet (includes speakers) is getting the proper impedance (measured in ohms) match between head and cab. You must get an amp head that is rated for an impedance level that is compatible with the impedance level of the speakers. If your cabinet is rated for an overall impedance of 4 ohms - you must be sure your head is rated for as low as 4 ohms. If the cabinets impedance is lower than the lowest one the amp head is rated for, you will damage the head. So if the cabinet was rated at 4 ohms and you used a head with a lowest rating of 8 ohms, your head will soon become a large paper weight. Bass cabinets often have lower impedance ratings than guitar speakers - so be careful here.
On multi speaker cabs - you must look at the overall impedance level of the entire cabinet, not the individual speakers. This is because the overall impedance will vary on a 2 or 4 speaker cab, depending on if they are wired in series or parallel or a combination of both (as is often the case in a 4 speaker cabinet).
Finally, if you intend to play mainly guitar through your stack, you might be better served with a guitar cabinet matched with a guitar head - or simply a guitar combo amp. The speakers and cabinets specifically designed for reproducing the lower frequencies of a bass guitar, are not optimal for reproducing the higher frequencies of a regular guitar. If you want to play bass guitar through a bass cabinet matched with a guitar amp head (maybe you want to add more distortion or other "guitar effects" to your bass?), that should work fine as long as the power and impedance rating between cab and head are optimally matched as described above.
Back in the day, there was more overlap between guitar and bass heads than there is now. Guitar amplification imparts a lot of the final tone that we love of electric guitars and most guitar amp designs are either similar to designs from the 60s and 70s or are meant to emulate the sounds of those designs.
We do also love the bass sounds of the 60s and 70s but there are newer bass sounds that are very popular. Only a few new popular guitar sounds have appeard in the last 40 years (most notably PRS guitars and Mesa/Boogie amplification and all the sounds inspired by those two), but many new bass sounds have become popular.
Bass players who are not looking for a vintage sound usually want full-range amplification. That means lower lows and higher highs than guitar amps can usually produce. Reproducing a wider range of frequencies requires more power to get the same loudness, so bass players today desire a lot more power than before. Concurrently, or possibly in response to these changing desires, bass speaker cabinets and amplifiers have taken advantage of modern circuit and magnet technologies to be able to reproduce a wider frequency range with more power for much less weight and size. Some bass players use PA equipment to amplify their instrument instead of bass equipment, and there is a lot of overlap in modern bass equipment and PA equipment design. Modern bass amplification is almost like a mini PA.
If we look at the lineup of current Marshall guitar amp heads, we see a range of 30W to 100W of rated output power, and most of the designs are 100% tube, hybrid, or meant to emulate tube amplification.
If we look at the lineup of current Ampeg bass amp heads, we see a range of 100W to 1200W of rated output power, and a significant number of the designs are solid state or hybrid (a little less than half, I think).
Here's a breakdown of things that are more common in bass heads:
- Higher rated power output
- Wider frequency response
- Solid state design or hybrid design (tube pre and solid state power section)
- Different EQ frequencies and more EQ options
- Separate circuitry for active basses (alternate input or switch)
- Neutrik Speakon output connectors
- DI output on XLR
- Built-in compressor
Note that due to power output and handling, it's usually safer to power a bass cabinet with a guitar head than it is to power a guitar cabinet with a bass head. Clearly, plugging a 1200W bass head into a guitar cabinet that is expecting a 100W Marshall head could be very bad.
The main difference will be the frequency range the head is capable of controlling. The lowest note on a guitar is not far off the top string of a four string bass guitar, so an octave of lower notes needs to be treated with some equalisation that just isn't needed by a guitar. Likewise, a guitar uses far higher notes than a bass, normally, so the eq. on a guitar amp will need to cater for a different, higher, range in the sonic spectrum. Also, it's more usual for a guitar amp to have some sort of overdrive built in. If it's a valve amp that's intrinsic, but not so necessary for bass amplification. It's also more common for bass heads to have an XLR socket, to D.I. into a P.A.
The guitarist in a band I used to work with used a Hartke bass head - sounded lovely!
The obvious difference between bass and guitar heads/amps/cabinets is that each one is designed for a specific instrument. The bass guitar has a lower range than that of the guitar, so the related amplification equipment must be designed to express the lower ranges better than the higher ones.
This doesn't mean that you cannot connect a guitar to a bass head/amp or vice versa, but for the best outcome, you should stick with that there is for the instrument you want.
What I'd suggest is to try heads both for bass and guitar and see what sound you like better. You might prefer a guitar head for your bass cab.
An anecdotal answer: This one time at band camp (actually it was a wedding), our bassist arrived and realised he'd forgotten to bring his bass head. After we'd kicked him around the car park for a while, I suggested we try using a small PA amp which we use for our foldback speakers. It's about 150 watts (mono).
I was expecting it to crunch and struggle with the power but it was worth a shot. So we plugged it into his bass cab on gave it a go.
Actually, it was fine and our man reported, after his wounds had healed, that it had easily enough oomph to fill the room (a hall about the size of a tennis court). There was a bit of a difference in lower-mid response but with some tweaking of bass controls, it


teotomy techniques have been developed to correct the deformity caused by slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and compared by their clinical outcomes. The aim of the presented study was to compare an intertrochanteric uniplanar flexion osteotomy with a multiplanar osteotomy by their ability to improve postoperative range of motion as measured by simulation of computed tomographic data in patients with SCFE. METHODS: We examined 19 patients with moderate or severe SCFE as classified based on slippage angle. A computer program for the simulation of movement and osteotomy developed in our laboratory was used for study execution. According to a 3-dimensional reconstruction of the computed tomographic data, the physiological range was determined by flexion, abduction, and internal rotation. The multiplanar osteotomy was compared with the uniplanar flexion osteotomy. Both intertrochanteric osteotomy techniques were simulated, and the improvements of the movement range were assessed and compared. RESULTS: The mean slipping and thus correction angles measured were 25 degrees (range, 8-46 degrees) inferior and 54 degrees (range, 32-78 degrees) posterior. After the simulation of multiplanar osteotomy, the virtually measured ranges of motion as determined by bone-to-bone contact were 61 degrees for flexion, 57 degrees for abduction, and 66 degrees for internal rotation. The simulation of the uniplanar flexion osteotomy achieved a flexion of 63 degrees, an abduction of 36 degrees, and an internal rotation of 54 degrees. CONCLUSIONS: Apart from abduction, the improvement in the range of motion by a uniplanar flexion osteotomy is comparable with that of the multiplanar osteotomy. However, the improvement in flexion for the simulation of both techniques is not satisfactory with regard to the requirements of normal everyday life, in contrast to abduction and internal rotation.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed a cross-sectional dataset of 64 patients (30 RRMS, 14 SPMS, 20 PPMS) and a separate longitudinal dataset of 25 patients (114 MR imaging examinations). Twelve patients in the longitudinal dataset had converted from RRMS to SPMS. For all images, the MOV and corpus callosum were delineated manually and the corpus callosum was parcellated into 5 segments. Patients from the cross-sectional dataset were classified as RRMS, SPMS, or PPMS by using a decision tree algorithm with the following input features: brain parenchymal fraction, age, disease duration, MOV, total corpus callosum area and areas of 5 segments of the corpus callosum. To test the robustness of the classification technique, we applied the results derived from the cross-sectional analysis to the longitudinal dataset. RESULTS: MOV and central corpus callosum segment area were the 2 features retained by the decision tree. Patients with MOV >0.94 cm(3) were classified as having RRMS. Patients with progressive MS were further subclassified as having SPMS if the central corpus callosum segment area was , keywords = {Anatomy, Cross-Sectional, Atrophy, Brain, Female, Humans, Longitudinal Studies, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Male, Middle Aged, Multiple Sclerosis, Nerve Fibers, Myelinated}, issn = {1936-959X}, doi = {10.3174/ajnr.A1659}, author = {Sampat, M P and Berger, A M and Healy, B C and Hildenbrand, P and Vass, J and Meier, D S and Chitnis, T and Weiner, H.

Water-Rock Reaction Could Provide Energy For Martian Microbes

Previous research has shown how rock-water reactions can produce hydrogen when temperatures are far too hot for living things to survive, such as near hydrothermal vent systems on the ocean floor. However, a new study in Nature Geoscience reports that the same hydrogen-producing reaction can also occur at more hospitable temperatures.
"Water-rock reactions that produce hydrogen gas are thought to have been one of the earliest sources of energy for life on Earth," said Lisa Mayhew, who worked on the study as a doctoral student at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
"However, we know very little about the possibility that hydrogen will be produced from these reactions when the temperatures are low enough that life can survive," she added. "If these reactions could make enough hydrogen at these low temperatures, then microorganisms might be able to live in the rocks where this reaction occurs, which could potentially be a huge subsurface microbial habitat for hydrogen-utilizing life."
When water infiltrates iron-rich igneous rocks, a few unstable atoms of iron can be released into the water. These unstable atoms, known as reduced iron atoms, can split water molecules to produce hydrogen gas and new minerals containing a more stable, oxidized form of iron at temperatures above 392 degrees Fahrenheit.
To see if these reactions are possible, the researchers submerged rocks in oxygen-free water at temperatures between 122 and 212 degrees Fahrenheit. They were able to detect some evidence of a hydrogen-creating water-rock reaction — possibly enough hydrogen to support life.
Next, the researchers accelerated electrons in a small storage ring to create "synchrotron radiation" that would allow them to establish the type and location of iron in the rocks on a microscopic scale.
Instead of seeing the reduced iron in the rocks converted to the more stable oxidized state, as they are at higher temperatures, the scientists discovered newly formed oxidized iron on minerals with a cubic structure called ℠spinels' that are highly conductive.
The researchers theorized that the conductive spinels were facilitating the swap of electrons between reduced iron and water, a necessity for the iron to divide the water molecules and create hydrogen gas.
"After observing the formation of oxidized iron on spinels, we realized there was a strong correlation between the amount of hydrogen produced and the volume percent of spinel phases in the reaction materials," Mayhew said. "Generally, the more spinels, the more hydrogen."
The researchers said hydrogen gases produced in these rocks would potentially be able to feed microbial life in a large volume of rock on Earth. They added that low temperature reactions could also be occurring in the same types of rocks that also are prevalent on Mars. Because the minerals that form as a result of these reactions have been found on both Earth and Mars, the new study's findings may have implications for investigating potential Martian microbial habitats.
NASA announced recently that its Curiosity rover recently spotted preliminary evidence of an ancient streambed on Mars. "¯The study's results suggest that hydrogen-dependent life could have existed where the Martian streambed was in contact with iron-rich igneous rocks.

Status symbol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A status symbol is a perceived visible, external denotation of one's social position and perceived indicator of economic or social status.[1] Many luxury goods are often considered status symbols. Status symbol is also a sociological term – as part of social and sociological symbolic interactionism – relating to how individuals and groups interact and interpret various cultural symbols.[2]
Status symbols by region and time[edit]
Social status is often associated with clothing and possessions. Compare the foreman with a horse and high hat with the inquilino in picture. Image from 19th century rural Chile
As people aspire to high status, they often seek also its symbols. As with other symbols, status symbols may change in value or meaning over time, and will differ among countries and cultural regions, based on their economy and technology.
Military symbol of excellence
Galero hat, symbol of ecclesiastical status
For example, before the invention of the printing press, possession of a large collection of laboriously hand-copied books was a symbol of wealth and scholarship. In later centuries, books (and literacy) became more common, so a private library became less-rarefied as a status symbol, though a sizable collection still commands respect.
In some past cultures of East Asia, pearls and jade were major status symbols, reserved exclusively for royalty. Similar legal exclusions applied to the toga and its variants in ancient Rome, and to cotton in the Aztec Empire. Special colors, such as imperial yellow (in China) or royal purple (in ancient Rome) were reserved for royalty, with severe penalties for unauthorized display. Another common status symbol of the European medieval past was heraldry, a display of one's family name and history.
Societal recognition[edit]
Status symbols also indicate the cultural values of a society or a subculture. For example, in a commercial society, having money or wealth and things that can be bought by wealth, such as cars, houses, or fine clothing, are considered status symbols. In a society that values honor or bravery, a battle scar would be more of a status symbol. In academic circles, a long list of publications and a securely tenured position at a prestigious university or research institute are a mark of high status. It has been speculated that the earliest foods to be domesticated were luxury feast foods used to cement one's place as a "rich person".[3]
A uniform symbolizes membership in an organization, and may display additional insignia of rank, specialty, tenure and other details of the wearer's status within the organization. A state decoration medal or badge can show that the wearer has heroic or official status. Elaborate color-coded academic regalia is often worn during commencement ceremonies, indicating academic rank and specialty.
In many cultures around the world, diverse visual markers of marital status are widely used. Coming of age rituals may involve acquisition and display of status symbols of adulthood. Dress codes may specify who ought to wear particular kinds or styles of clothing, and when and where specific items of clothing are displayed.
Body modifications[edit]
Ancient Central American Maya cultures artificially induced crosseyedness and flattened the foreheads of high-born infants as a permanent, lifetime sign of noble status.[4] The Mayans also filed their teeth to sharp points to look fierce, or inset precious stones into their teeth as decoration.[4]
In modern society, plastic surgery, botox injections, breast implants, silicone injections, and more radical body modifications such as surgical rib removal are used in attempts to achieve a more desirable appearance. Multiple piercings, tattoos, and other body modifications are highly valued among certain subcultures in Western societies. In some contemporary cultures, gold or silver teeth are considered an appropriate display of wealth, and are preferred over less-visible natural-colored teeth.
Dieting to reduce excess body fat is widely practiced in Western society, while some traditional societies still value obesity as a sign of prosperity. Development of muscles through exercise, previously disdained as a stigma of doing heavy manual labor, is now highly valued as a sign of personal achievement. Some groups, such as extreme bodybuilders and sumo wrestlers use special exercise and diet to "bulk up" into an even more impressive appearance.
Less-permanent body modifications are also popular, such as manicures and pedicures, artificial nails, colored contact lenses, and tooth whitening. Hair treatments, including hair coloring, "permanents", hair extensions, wigs, toupees, hair straightening, and hair curling are major industries. The use of cosmetics is widespread among women, and some men. Shaving or depilation of facial and body hair, sometimes in decorative patterns, is widely practiced by both sexes.
Material possessions[edit]
Mercedes-Benz luxury vehicles are status symbols in many cultures.[5]
Possessions typically perceived as status symbols may include a mansion or penthouse apartment,[6] a trophy spouse,[7] haute couture fashionable clothes,[8] jewelry,[9] or a luxury vehicle.[5] A sizeable collection of high-priced artworks or antiques may be displayed, sometimes in multiple seasonally occupied residences located around the world. Privately owned aircraft and luxury yachts are movable status symbols that can be taken from one glamorous location to another; the "jet set" refers to wealthy individuals who travel by private jet and who frequent fashionable resorts.[10]
Status symbols are also used by persons of much more modest means. In the Soviet Union before the fall of the Berlin Wall, possession of American-style blue jeans or rock music recordings (even pirated or bootlegged copies) was an important status symbol among rebellious teenagers. In the 1990s, foreign cigarettes in China, where a pack of Marlboro could cost one day's salary for some workers, were seen as a status symbol.[11] Cellphone usage had been considered a status symbol (for example in Turkey in the early 1990s),[12] but is less distinctive today, because of the spread of inexpensive cellphones. Nonetheless Apple products such as iPod or iPhone are common status symbols among modern teenagers.[13][14]
A common type of modern status symbol is a prestigious branded item, whether apparel or other type of a good.[8] The brand name or logo is often prominently displayed, or featured as a graphic design element of decoration. Certain brands are so highly valued that cheap counterfeit goods or knockoff copies are purchased and displayed by those who do not want to, or are unable to, pay for the genuine item.

Biotect David Benjamin and his firm, The Living, have completed the MoMA 'Hy-Fi' tower using mushroom brick technology based on a technique developed by Ecovative.
Consisting entirely of farm waste and a culture of fungus that is grown to fit a brick-shaped mold, the tower is reportedly the world's first large scale structure made using the organic bricks.
The biodegradable material, which is generally used to make packaging, has been used to grow 10,000 bricks and stacked to create three merging cylinders.
The formation is designed to draw breezes through the structure, cooling and shading the Hy-Fi's interior, while a top layer of steel molds have been covered in a special light-refracting film invented by 3M.
The tower was designed as part of MoMA's Young Architects Program and will provide shade, seating and water for visitors attending a Summer music festival held at the courtyard site.

I'm trying to 'morph' one moving mesh into another moving mesh using particles. The 'morph' is working well when the meshes don't move, but moving causes trouble.
What I've done
Here's my .blend file:
In the gif below, a sphere is breaking into particles, and those particles are moving to different meshes in a water molecule. The particles doing the "morphing" belong to a separate 'controller' object (not in view). The controller object has several particle systems with keyed physics, each of which has the sphere as its first key target and a part of the water molecule as its second key target.
As you can see from the gif, the particle systems in the water molecules (the targets) stay put while the molecule itself keeps rotating. What I want is for them to rotate along with the molecule. The current (undesired) result is that the particles morph to where the molecule used to be, and then the actual molecule mesh appears rotated ahead of the particles.
I've also tweaked a few things for the sake of the gif.
- The molecule usually doesn't show until the particles arrive. For the gif, I show it the whole time so you can see where it emits the particles.
- The 'target' particle systems usually don't show either, but I'm showing them in the gif.
- I've enlarged some of the 'controller' object's particles to make the morphing easier to see.
How can I give particle systems a moving target?
I've tried setting the parent of the target particle systems, which did cause the systems to move, but particle systems don't have the matrix_parent_inverse property, so the scale and rotation were offset anyway. Also, despite seeing the target systems move, the keyed "morphing" particle systems seemed to still be aiming at a single spot. (Hopefully that made sense, but if not, suffice it to say that I can't get parenting to work with particle systems.)
I'm doing this with python, so I'm considering manipulating the individual particle positions based on the movement of the emitter, but it seems like there must be a better way than re-implementing parenting myself.
Finally, I have to morph with particles rather than shape keys, unless someone can tell me an algorithm/feature that can make the topology of two meshes equivalent while keeping the same resulting shape. :)

How do I add a filter to a profile?
Constructing a filter in Urchin requires careful attention to detail. This is important for both performance reasons and to ensure that the filter behaves in a predictable manner. Urchin uses POSIX regular expression for specifying filter patterns, which are quite robust but can also be rather complex. Specifying a regular expression filter pattern incorrectly may not only generate the wrong results, but may significantly increase Urchin log processing times; perhaps as much as an order of magnitude.
Tips for Filtering
The general rule of thumb with filters is "the simpler, the better". Each filter you add increases processing time. Complex filtering patterns also increase processing time.
 1. Use as simple a pattern as possible that matches only what you are trying to filter. For instance, if you want to filter out "googlebot" in the Browsers, just put "googlebot" as the filter pattern, not ".*googlebot.*".
 2. Whenever possible, use a single filter with multiple patterns instead of multiple separate filters. As an example, if you want to filter out PDF files, Flash files, and MPEGs from your Top Pages reports, use a filter pattern of "\.pdf|\.swf|\.mpeg" instead of creating a separate filter for each.
 3. Remember to escape regular expression metacharacters (see below) by preceding them with a backslash if you are using those specific characters are part in your pattern. For example, the dot "." character is a regular expression metacharacter. Therefore, if you want to filter out an IP address you need to specify the filter pattern as "127\.0\.0\.1" instead of "".
Getting Started
Before you begin, you may want to have a copy of your web log file accessible so you can determine exactly how to construct the filter. Why is this important? During report processing, when Urchin invokes the filter you've added, it will attempt to make an exact match between your filter pattern and content found in the log file. So, knowing exactly how the content is displayed in the log file is essential when building the filter.
If you do not have direct access to the log file, you may be able to gather similar information by reviewing content in the report without any filter added. For example, the Pages and Referrals reports often contain enough detailed information to build filters from. However, some information is still not available such as query strings resulting from dynamically generated web pages. That information is available only from the log file.
NOTE: Once the filter is applied, it will only affect the reports processed "after" it is added. Any existing data will not be affected by the filter. Applying a filter to existing reports requires clearing that data and reprocessing the log files.
There are 3 primary components to an Urchin filter.
 1. Filter Type: This determines whether Urchin is to include or exclude specific data from the report, and in some cases (Dynamic URL) how the information will be displayed in the report. If you select "Include Pattern" Urchin will ONLY include log file entries that contain the pattern or patterns you tell it to include in the report.
 2. Filter Field: Determines which field in the log file Urchin should apply the filter to. If you are unsure which field to select, review section below titled "Filter Field Definitions by Log Format Type."
 3. Filter Pattern: Contains the string of characters Urchin will try and match from the log file during processing. Filter patterns applied to the URI-Stem(W3C) or Request(NCSA) field should be written exactly as they appear in the log file. Or, you may truncate the pattern in some cases. All other patterns are subject to POSIX regular expression rules. That means that certain characters will be interpreted differently than they appear. For example a dot "." means "match any single character." A full list of these expressions can be found at the bottom of this article.
