Blues under the bridge 20217/26/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Within one month’s time, Rhodes asked Birchwood to pack his bags and join him on the road. “The flood gates opened,” says Birchwood, “and at that point I started trying to absorb as much as I could.”Īt 19, Birchwood met and connected with veteran blues guitarist Sonny Rhodes, who was instantly impressed by the enthusiastic young guitar slinger. I knew this was my path, and I had to make this music.” He dove deep, listening to icons including Albert King, Freddie King, Albert Collins, Muddy Waters, Lightnin’ Hopkins and of course, Buddy Guy. What he did was mind-blowing.” As luck would have it, just as Birchwood was learning Hendrix’s guitar playing was steeped in blues, legendary bluesman Buddy Guy-a major influence on Hendrix-was scheduled to perform in Orlando. But the popular grunge rock, hip-hop and metal of the 1990s didn’t move him. He first grabbed a guitar at age 13 and soon became proficient at mimicking what he heard on the radio. When he sits down to play his lap steel, he takes the crowd to a whole other level, with the music exorcising any bad times and troubles.īirchwood, his father from Tobago, his mother from the UK, was born in 1985 in Orlando, Florida. With his band feeding off his energy, the 6’3” musician roams the stage barefoot, ripping out memorable guitar licks with ease, his soulful, rocks-and-gravel vocals firing up his fans. With his warm, magnetic personality, Birchwood is as down-to-earth as his music is thought-provoking and electrifying. His ability to win over an audience-any audience-is proven night after night on the bandstand. Toe-tapping, hip-shaking, joyful and inviting…expansive and focused, exploratory and time-honored, but always original.” According to Blues Music Magazine, “Selwyn Birchwood heralds a fresh, exciting new direction in the blues. Each twists its own tale, ranging from the love-gone-wrong Horns Below Her Halo to the love-gone-terrifying Exorcist to the ripped-from-the-headlines escapades of FLorida Man and Swim At Your Own Risk to the autobiographical Underdog. The soul-baring tracks all hit with lasting rhymes and unexpected rhythms. Exorcist was recorded in Florida and produced by Grammy Award-winner Tom Hambridge, with each of the 13 vividly detailed songs written and arranged by Birchwood. On his new release, Exorcist (his fourth for Alligator and sixth overall), Birchwood delivers the most far-reaching, musically adventurous album of his career. Tastemaker Americana music magazine No Depression says, “Selwyn Birchwood reaches back in the blues tradition to launch something out of this world.” He calls it “Electric Swamp Funkin’ Blues,” an intoxicating mix of deep blues, blistering, psychedelic-tinged rock, booty-shaking funk and sweet Southern soul, played and sung with the fire-and-brimstone fervor of a revival tent preacher with a hellhound on his trail. Birchwood, whose band features the pulsating interplay of his blistering guitar with Regi Oliver’s driving baritone sax, deploys a singular sound and style all his own. Hopefully it brings people to Glenwood to experience the music and what the downtown businesses have to offer,” Miller said.Although award-winning Florida musician Selwyn Birchwood is firmly rooted in the tradition, the young guitarist, lap steel player, songwriter and vocalist sets a course for the future of the blues with his visionary, original music. “We want to give people an opportunity to kick off their weekends in downtown Glenwood Springs. ![]() Pat Miller, city of Glenwood Springs events and marketing coordinator, and other city officials want to bring a little excitement and live local music to the downtown corridor as the seasons change and people begin to fill Glenwood Springs. *All bands come from a one-county radius of Garfield Countyīeginning this afternoon downtown Glenwood Springs will come alive with the sounds of live music at 7th Street and Grand Avenue as Fridays on 7th kicks off the summer season in the lower Roaring Fork Valley.

Israel lockdown7/26/2023 ![]() ![]() For example, proposals have been floated that would require teachers and medical staff to provide proof of vaccination or a negative test to gain admittance to their workplaces. It’s unclear what the US-which, unlike Israel, doesn’t have a universal identity record or a cohesive medical records system-would need to do to implement a vaccine passport quickly.īut whichever options eventually do make it into widespread use, there are also aspects of this idea that don’t get laid out in the ads. Compared with Israel, he says, “we’re making things unnecessarily complicated in the US.” The way forward ![]() He suggests that right now commercial interests are getting in the way of creating something so simple-it wouldn’t make much money for software companies, which at least want to show off something that could be repurposed later in a more profitable form. It’s important for companies not to create another “hackable repository” when they view your information, he adds. It’s not just about making sure you don’t have to hand over personal information to get into a bar, though: privacy is also important for those who are undocumented or who mistrust the government, Raskar says. But other situations may require more information: an airline wants to know that you are who you say you are, for example, and hospitals need accurate medical records. “Getting on a bus, or getting into a concert, you need to have a solution that is very easy to use and that provides a level of privacy protection,” he says. The paper card could offer multiple forms of verification, scannable in the form of QR codes, allowing you to show a concert gatekeeper only your vaccination status while displaying another, more information-heavy option to health-care providers. Their prototype uses a paper card, similar to the one people currently receive when they’re vaccinated. Ramesh Raskar runs the PathCheck Foundation at MIT, which has partnered with the design consultancy Ideo on a low-tech solution. In the US, developers are trying to address such privacy concerns ahead of any major rollout. Although that’s possible, the app is expected to become the most widespread verification method. Zik recommends another option currently available under the green pass program: downloading a paper vaccination certificate instead of using the app. “This is a catastrophe in the making,” says Ran Bar Zik, a software columnist for the newspaper Haaretz. Crucially, because the app is not open source, no third-party experts can vet whether these concerns are founded. The app also uses an outdated encryption library that is more vulnerable to security breaches, Orr says. He says the pass reveals information that those checking credentials don’t need to know, such as the date a user recovered from covid or got a vaccine. ![]() ![]() The green pass is also a potential privacy nightmare, says Orr Dunkelman, a computer science professor at Haifa University and a board member of Privacy Israel. Some ethicists argue that such programs may further entrench existing inequalities, and this is already happening with Israel’s pass, since few Palestinians in the occupied territories of Gaza and the West Bank have access to vaccines. Despite the flashy ads, however, it’s still too early to tell how well Israel’s program will work in practice-or what that will mean for vaccine passports in general. ![]() Depin molex connector7/26/2023 ![]() ![]() ¼" size connectors find a lot of use in the professional audio and music community- most electric guitars and amplifiers have 1/4" tip-sleeve (TS) jacks on them. These connectors actually come in three common sizes: 1/4" (6.35mm), 1/8" (3.5mm), and 2.5mm. You'll probably immediately recognize the 1/8" version of this connector as a the plug on the end of a pair of headphones. While these can't truly be considered to be of the same family, as the various USB connectors are, we'll consider both of them to be in the same vein. Molded strain relief - All USB cables have plastic overmolding at the connector to prevent strain on the cable that could potentially damage the electrical connections.Īnother familiar connector group are those used for audio-visual applications-RCA and phono.All USB connectors are designed with this in mind. ![]() Robust power connection - It's important for the power pins to make connection before the data lines, to avoid trying to power the device over the data lines.This is important to keep the signal intact in environments with a lot of electrical "noise". Shielding - USB connectors are shielded, such that a metal shell which is not part of the electrical circuit is provided.USB connectors are designed to transmit 5V, up to 500mA. These are for power, ground, and two data lines (D+ and D-). Four contacts - All USB connectors have at least four contacts (although some may have five, and USB 3.0+ connectors have even more).It may be possible to force a connector in wrong, but that will result in damage to the device. Polarization - A USB connector can only nominally be inserted one way.However, all USB connectors will have some things in common: In the USB standard, there is a difference between the two, and the connectors on cables and devices reflect this. USB connectors come in two flavors: host and peripheral. We'll discuss this more in the examples section for each individual connector. The term "mount" can refer to several things: how the connector is mounted in use (panel mount, free-hanging, board mount), what the angle of the connector is relative to its attachment (straight or right-angle), or how it is mechanically attached (solder tab, surface mount, through hole). Mount - This one has the potential for being confusing. It's important that you select a connector with a suitable life for the application. A USB connector may have a lifetime in the thousands or tens of thousands of cycles, while a board-to-board connector designed for use inside of consumer electronics may be limited to tens of cycles. Datasheets usually present that information in terms of mating cycles, and it varies widely from one technology to another. Mating cycles - Connectors have a finite life, and connecting and disconnecting them is what wears them out. The pitch of the pins on the headers on a standard Arduino is. ![]() Totw fifa 227/26/2023 ![]() ![]() In addition to the disappointing featured variants, which were distributed too often to players who did not improve significantly in the game, low probabilities on TOTW superstars in the packs also caused frustration. However, due to the constant flood of promos and special cards, the only slightly improved cards in the team of the week gradually became a minor matter.įor the FIFA development team, the question for the coming season is: How can the TOTW be improved? Good advice is expensive here, because there is more than one construction site for the TOTW cards. Yet it is precisely the players who can still improve late in the season that should provide long-term motivation. ![]() FIFA 18 then cut back to teams for the first time, FIFA 19 (46 TOTWs) and FIFA 20 (42 TOTWs) continued the trend.Īlthough EA already announced the featured versions before the release, this innovation could not ensure that the TOTW in FIFA 22 is of greater interest for a longer time. Just five years ago, TOTW spanned the entire year and brought an average of 52 special teams into play. Looking at past instalments of the FIFA series, it is clear that the weekly adulation of footballers has stopped earlier and earlier. In FIFA 21, Team of the Week ended after 35 teams. The publisher has thus shortened the editions of TOTW as it did last year. High expectations at the start – frustration towards the end A little bit of a pity, because achievements of the upcoming Nations League group stage and the Champions League final from last weekend will not be honoured in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team now. After 36 teams, EA Sports has stopped the promotion for this season. TOTWs are also often needed to complete Squad Building Challenges. The so-called ‘Informs’ are particularly sought-after due to special cards with upgraded statistics. The TOTW is made up of players who have performed particularly well for their club on the real pitch on the previous match day. This is because the new Team of the Week is released weekly at 7pm German time. EA is ending TOTW after 36 editions for FIFA 22, leaving out the Nations League and the Champions League Final.įor FUT players, Wednesday evening at the start of each new season is something very special. Today, Wednesday, no further Team of the Week will be released in FIFA Ultimate Team. ![]() Flint lighter7/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Formerly a leather expert leveraged by famed fashion houses in England and France, Damien now devotes his time to bringing a more personalized touch to his custom leather goods.Īmong his offerings are these refined flint lighters.

The world of Ryzom keeps expanding, but it remains being about the same big plot: 'Who are the Kami and the Karavan?' And 'Who do you want to support?' You will have different kinds of missions and means, and little by little players will see that they are having a real impact on the story evolution and the shaping of the world. In addition to the skill trees, players are able to design their own skills and spells through the use of stanzas. It has a bit more in common with Dark Age of Camelot in the way the game pits realm against realm, but in Ryzom the story will play out differently on each server depending on the decisions the players make, the missions they take on and the alliances they make with the two powerful factions in the game: the technologically superior Karavan and the magic-using Kami.
