Some children with developmental challenges may benefit from using binaural beats as an adjunctive therapeutic approach. Improvements for some children with developmental challenges. The use of binaural beats may help reduce the distress caused by tinnitus. Tinnitus, also known as ringing in the ears, refers to sounds within the ears that only the individual can hear (phantom sounds). Similar to their ability to increase focus and attention, higher frequencies can help individuals retain, remember, and recall information more effectively. In the same way that binaural beats can help promote relaxation and a sense of calm, different Hz frequencies may have a different effect on others – for example, for some, it may speed up brain waves to help increase awareness and provide more energy.Įnhanced memory and cognition. Those with chronic pain may benefit from the use of binaural beats. Certain painful conditions may worsen during certain times of the day, and calming the brain waves may be beneficial. These auditory signals may also be used as a part of a meditation practice to assist in reaching a relaxed state more quickly. ![]() Perhaps one of the most common uses for binaural beats is to help alleviate insomnia. For those who are under stress or experience anxiety, binaural beats can help to slow the brain waves to allow the individual to experience a more peaceful state that can put their mind at ease. Using binaural beats may induce this state more quickly than meditation while potentially providing various benefits based on the Hz of the auditory sensation. ![]() Meditation has long been shown to help promote health and wellness, including providing relaxation and reducing stress. ![]() ![]() Having chosen to mould itself around jogo bonito – football's nickname popularised by the legendary Pelé – for the past few years, PES 2019 finds the franchise at a curious stage, seemingly trying to infuse a sense of realism into its penchant for style. Of course, over the long run, it's the action on the pitch that matters more. Konami will hope that the additions can bring in football fans from beyond the big European countries looking to play with their local teams. The addition of several new leagues is beneficial to every game mode: it increases the player roster available in Master League, the manager mode, and m圜lub, the PES version of FIFA's Ultimate Team (colloquially known as FUT for short), while boosting the club choices for Become A Legend, the player career mode, and all casual kick-off modes be it offline or online. Of course, enterprising players can always "fix" matters by making use of the game's convenient import function, what with PES' dedicated and always-helpful community having already released unofficial kits and name changes. Germany's Bundesliga continues to be missing though France's Ligue 1 is fully licensed. The Serie A Italian League is better off as always, with all 20 clubs except Juventus available in PES 2019. Thanks to that, there are seven new licensed leagues in PES 2019 from Belgium, Russia, Scotland, and Turkey, among others.Īt the same time, the biggest leagues remain nearly devoid of licenses, except for Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League English League, and Barcelona in La Liga the Spanish League. ![]() And in its hour of need, PES 2019 – the latest iteration now out on PC, PS4 and Xbox One previous-gen consoles PS3 and Xbox 360 have been left behind for the first time in over a decade – doubled down on the charm offensive of lesser-known leagues. The UEFA licenses were one of the few things Konami's PES could boast of in a gaming market that places a high value on playing with official kits in official stadiums under official branding. Naturally, its big-moneyed rival EA Sports took advantage of the opportunity, adding the Champions League to its crown of jewels in the upcoming FIFA 19, out later in September. Back in April, its football sim Pro Evolution Soccer was dealt another blow, after Konami opted not to renew its deal with UEFA, a partnership that had been around since 2008. ![]() Konami's focus on mobile gaming, in addition to its other interests such as pachinko machines and casinos in Japan, seems to have hurt the console ambitions of every franchise it owns in recent years. ![]() ![]() ![]() This thing sits behind my stereo cabinet and is only connected to audio. I added a decent USB interface and set up ClickRepair to auto-launch when Windows reboots. ![]() ClickRepair does have another mode that attempts to decrackle the lower-level groove noise, but there you're getting into trickier territory ala the much-maligned CEDAR and NoNoise systems, and even the developer admits it's best not to use it unless you have to.ĬlickRepair had a real-time version (sadly, no longer available), so I built a mini-PC from a $100 ASUS that's about the size of a thin hardback book. My compliments to the developer, whose algorithm seems better than most at rejecting false-positive detections, and does it elegantly with minimal CPU usage. Clicks tend to be out of phase, so they can usually be identified and then removed by interpolating the removed samples. That's not a huge task in the digital domain. This app has a mode that solely focuses on pops and ticks, just the big stuff. On another thread at Hoffman, I learned of ClickRepair, an application lauded by needle-droppers who digitize rare vinyl (as well as some troubled souls who make digital copies of their bog-standard LP issues for god knows why). I should add that with more recent releases, there's also the real possibility the vinyl might actually sound better, even if from a digital master, because the limitations of LP cutting don't allow the mastering engineer to brickwall the mix. for a living, so at the end of the day, the last thing I want is to be looking at another backlit screen. I like LP's because they have huge cover art, you can actually read the liner notes without magnification, and maybe most significantly, when I have guests over who want to play something, we're not sitting around staring at playlists on screens and dicking around with bluetooth pairing. I've experimented with some fairly fancy-schmancy turntable and cartridge setups over the years, but I'm not one to make claims about the sonic superiority of vinyl. I'm not one of those analog true-believers. Most of the reaction there was negative, solely because the signal path is digitized, thereby breaking the holy AAA chain. So.Ī couple of years ago I saw a thread in the Hoffman forums about the Sugarcube, a $2K device that transparently declicks vinyl. I also enjoy good (read: "transparent") audio. I also enjoy many genres that feature a wide dynamic range. Though I've culled out most of the truly thrashed LP's over the decades, I also have a lot of sides that are in less-than-stellar quality. Oh, and I'm no fan of modern country, but that should go without saying.Īs a result of the above hunter/gatherer methods, I have a lot of records that never made it to digital. Really, the only thing I'm not interested in is mainstream classic rock - I've had enough of that pumped at me over radio to last two lifetimes. My tastes are pretty broad - I started as a punk/alternative kid, but later got into soul, jazz, exotica, international, krautrock, early electronic, the more esoteric end of classical, vintage country, etc. ![]() I don't think I've ever paid more than $15 for a record, new or used, and the vast majority of my stuff was had for $1-5 each through the salvage operation described above, yard sales, thrift stores, or used bins. ![]() As a collector, I'm definitely at the low end of the price scale. Stick with me - I'm getting to the hardware bit. I met a lot of fascinating people this way, including a guy who'd been a Walter Matthau's stunt double for much of his career, with several thousand jazz LP's collected over a lifetime in Los Angeles (unfortunately, two Japanese investors had flown in a few days before and snapped up most of the Blue Notes, but there was still a lot to be found.) Had an ad for years in the local paper under the head "Sanford & Son Vinyl Salvage," and took calls from people enthusiastic for me to rummage through their collections and cherry-pick for $1 a pop. I've been collecting vinyl since I was a teen in the 80's and really went ape in the 90's when everyone sold off their collections for CD's. ![]() ![]() ![]() Speaking of human sounds, that brings me to dialogue If you want to be safe, don’t put any sounds in all caps. Just keep in mind if you put one sound in all caps, you must put all sounds in all caps. Now, although it is acceptable, that doesn’t mean that sounds NEED to be in all caps. Those squeals were added during post-production. Their tires were always SQUEALING… even on the dirt roads. An example would be: “The car’s tires SQUEAL as the getaway driver speeds away from the crime scene.” The “squeal” is the sound that the car’s tires make and that sound may need to be added into the film later. It is perfectly acceptable to put sounds in all caps in the action line. In parentheses next to the name, voice indicators such as (V.O.), (O.C.), and (O.S.) will be in all caps, too. In the character line, when you type the character’s name just before you type their dialogue, the name will always be in all caps. At no other time should the character name be put in all capital letters in the action lines. Even then, the character name should only be in all caps once: when the character is first introduced. ![]() There is really only one thing that should be in all caps in a spec script, and that is character names. Shooting scripts are more of a production document than they are for reading. Most of what you’ll find online will be shooting scripts. What words should be in all caps in the action lines? This is where spec scripts and shooting scripts differ greatly. I describe exactly what should be in a slugline in a previous blog. In both spec scripts and shooting scripts, sluglines should always be in all caps. Next comes the slugline, or scene heading. You will also see that in a shooting script. In a spec script, the first thing that should always be in all caps, is FADE IN. A spec script has a very limited number of words that should be in all caps. Often times they may appear to be randomly placed. A shooting script will have words in all caps littered throughout the entire script. Today I will talk about what should and should not be put in all capital letters in a SPEC SCRIPT. Last week I briefly touched on a few of the differences between spec scripts and shooting scripts. ![]() ![]() ![]() We were extremely lucky to arrive when there was no line. Themed treats are popping up in stores worldwide and in homemade desserts all over Pinterest, Flickr, Instagram and YouTube. by Kirbie We recently visited Afters Ice Cream, an ice cream joint in Fountain Valley that has become quite popular because of their Milky Bun a fresh donut stuffed with ice cream. ![]() Train Tickets About Getting Here with Metrolink Related Destinations Photo 1 of 1 Photo Credit: Destination Irvine Afters Ice Cream isn’t just a dessert it’s a movement. ![]() We first noticed the trend when Afters ice cream became one of the most-tweeted food trucks at Coachella, with people lining up to take photos of its donuts stuffed with Cookie Monster ice cream. Orange County Afters Ice Cream Afters is known for its signature, handcrafted ice cream stuffed warm donut called the 'Milky Bun,' among many other tasty treats. Basically, it's a food-coloring-blasted take on a classic flavor-cookies and creme-but there's something about that jolt of electric blue that takes you right back to memory lane (AKA Sesame Street). There's another to add to the list, if you haven't already: Cookie Monster. Lately, though, the dessert trends we're noticing online are less flavor-based and are more nostalgia-inducing riots of color (see: unicorn everything, Lisa Frank everything, galaxy everything-to appeal to Bill Nye obsessives everywhere-and the less-old-school-but-still-vibrant Starbucks rainbow drinks that owned Summer Sixteen). Red velvet, s'mores, birthday cake-some classic desserts have grown from stand-alone dishes to encompass an entire category of food, getting reimagined as pancakes, fudge, even loaded fries. ![]() ![]() ![]() As a Stock Associate, you will be responsible for exceeding our customers evolving expectations by providing best in class customer service and a pleasant and fulfilling shopping experience.

The officer, a target in a class action with regard to an alleged "pump and dump" stock scheme, is said by authorities to have died by suicide. The company's chief financial officer fell to his death from an 18th-floor balcony in September. Management turmoil compounded the company's problems. Things started to fall apart in 2019 with the pandemic, when the company closed 200 stores over two years, according to published reports. It first reached $1 billion in annual sales in 1999 with more than 1,400 stores operating by 2011. The former Arlan's employees opened Bed 'n Bath in 1971 at Springfield, New Jersey. When the company went out of business, the store, which was large, was taken over by Walmart.īecause of its size, it would prove to be a breakthrough store for Walmart in its quest to become the retail giant it is today. It was located on the east side of the intersection at 15th Street and Range Line Road. The company was founded by two former employees of the Arlan's discount chain. The company's story could be among the most interesting I have ever encountered.

Lists of synonyms are useful when we are struggling to write and looking for just the right word, but each word must be considered in light of its specific definition. The verbs make and construct mean roughly the same thing, but one is more likely to make a cake but construct a building, which is a more complex undertaking. Synonyms for OBVIOUS: apparent, evident, unmistakable, clear, straightforward, distinct, simple, visible Antonyms of OBVIOUS: unclear, ambiguous, obscure, mysterious. A sunset might be described equally well as beautiful or resplendent, but a beautiful baby would not usually be described as resplendent, which implies an especially dazzling appearance. The goal is a health care system that is focused on ensuring that all Americans have access to quality care when and where they need it, regardless of race and ethnicity. And when we move from nouns to other parts of speech, we almost always find subtle but important differences among synonyms: although the meanings overlap, they differ in emphasis and connotation. The terms should be equivalent and should equal are synonyms (terms with similar meaning). But forest and wood, though often interchangeable, have different shades of meaning: a forest tends to be larger and denser than a wood. And if you ask for a soda on the east coast of the United States, you’ll get the same drink that asking for a pop will get you farther west. Just about every popular dictionary defines synonym as a term having “the same or nearly the same” meaning as another, but there is an important difference between “the same” and “nearly the same.” Noun synonyms sometimes mean exactly the same thing. Lo ms importante para todos los jvenes en todas partes es que todos deben ser iguales y deben recibir un trato respetuoso. What does equality mean The word equality is defined as the state or quality of being equal correspondence in quantity, degree, value, rank, or ability. Let’s look at what these two words actually mean and how we should be using them. Rawls argues that the inequality between a. The most important issue for young people everywhere was that everyone should be equal and should be treated with respect. However, equality and equity are not synonyms, and the methods used to achieve them are often very different. English, with its long history of absorbing terminology from a wealth of other tongues, is a language particularly rich in synonyms -words so close in meaning that in many contexts they are interchangeable, like the nouns tongue and language in the first part of this sentence. Rawls further claims that all economically and socially privileged positions must be open to all people equally. ![]() ![]() ![]() Random Sample Cycle Counting: This method counts a random selection of a certain number of inventory items each cycle count to ensure proper stock management.Control Group Cycle Counting: This method focuses on repeat counting of the same items in a small time frame to uncover any inconsistencies in the counting technique.There are three main types of cycle counts that a business can use on their inventory, these include: Add these four costs together to find out the total inventory storage costs, then continue with the formula to find the percentage of your business’s inventory carrying costs.Ĭycle counting is a part of inventory auditing, which takes a small sample of stock and cross-references it with the business’s financial and inventory records to make sure everything matches up.Ĭycle counting is a sampling technique that provides companies with a quick snapshot of their inventory status using one category or section of stock to reflect the state of the whole inventory. To complete this formula, your business will first need to know the inventory storage costs, which are made up of four main components: capital cost, inventory service cost, inventory risk cost, and storage space cost. To calculate the carrying cost, divide the total inventory value by the cost of storing the goods over a specific period, multiplied by 100.Ĭarrying cost (%) = (Inventory Storage Costs / Total Inventory Value) x 100 This cost is always depicted as a percentage of the total value of a business’s inventory.
