I too have a favorite vintage tape and I've acquired some of it for nostalgia. The cries of $$$$ agony will be heard across all continents. If you think old Maxell is over priced (most vintage semi modern tape is over priced) just consider the prices if the ATR, RTM and Capture lines shut down. Every reel of old TDK Maxell BASF etc that gets purchased is a reel that is not supporting those heroic few reel to reel tape manufacturers. It has been argued before by yours truly and others that the biggest detriment to the modern tape market is the vintage tape market. Shamrock and Realistic were coming from the same doping plants as Ampex 3M etc.īut that was then and a lot has changed. In truth I don't think there ever was a substandard reel to reel tape. Back in the 70's I used it all and I never found a major brand tape that didn't produce good results. Maxell offered fine tape although Maxell didn't actually make the tape they had their name on. Just be glad yours all didn't disappear in the divorce or what ever happened there dude.I know some guys, friends who lost everything in the big D, their wives sold it for pennies on the $ or gave the stuff to the new baby daddys.or.*fit* BF's.*eyepop* The same tapes began popping up online or at EBay a couple years late, for double to triple these prices or more. A 5 pack of them in a pack was 7.99$ - 9.99$ for the 90 minute version in 2002/3 when I bought locally the last time before they all disappeared. Same applied for cassette, I would have bought the hell out of the cassette UDXL-II S or Man In The Chair versions, as many as I could find. Certainly the stores I shopped at locally never know it was coming, and being 1 of 2 places in a 50 mile radius selling the open reel tape, they were selling / sold a lot of tape until the end. Had they alerted every shop I think demand would have increased as people began stocking up, thus they would have had to make it longer to have available as to supply the dealers maybe 4 years longer than they did.Īgain, IIRC, they ended production completely on all magnetic Audio tape in 2002/3, but didn't tell that many people, until they couldn't re-stock the shelves. My beef was Maxell really never told anyone they were discontinuing the open reel and cassette blank media. I have plenty of it, as at 34$ each, they could not even give it away in the end, long after the UD/B-UD and XL-1 were gone. It seems no one had EE capable machines and demand for the EE tape was way low. The EE 35-180 UDXL II IIRC was made up to the very early 90's or so, was still available NOS at local places in the early 00's. Those they couldn't keep in stock, it seems every one wanted them. Even the XL-I/B tapes were under 30$ each at the end locally. Truly great tape, if I knew then what I know now, at 24$ a box for the UD/B 35-180's at the end, I would have bought every single one I could find, or the stores could round up from their suppliers. I don't have never tried the grey/Black box version. All were bought brand new or NOS after Maxell discontinued them in the 00's. The earlier Gold/Black box versions I have here just don't sound quite as good as the last Blue/Black versions. I wish I had bought more, they are great tapes. I have a bunch of the Blue/Black boxed 35-180 tapes around here I bought when they were still available brand new up to early 2000's locally. They were all supposed to be the same formula, but my ears and machines don't tell indicate that, not even close In between was the Grey/Black version of the UD formula. The last generation of them was the Blue/Black box. The UD 35-7 is their older-oldest incarnation of the UD tape unless I'm mistaken. I've had best luck with the ones that say UD 35-90 or UD 35-180 (B) if back coated).

We look after ourselves, they look after themselves.” (Dentan 1978: 98).Ĭhildren tag along after adults, especially parents or grandparents, imitating their activities in ways that shade imperceptibly into helping out. They grow up here in the jungle like animals. A man might say, “We don’t worry about our children. “Semai emphatically deny that they teach their children. In some societies, infants are protected and insulated by parents for long periods while in others, independence and resilience are expected from a young age and children are rarely excluded from adult activity rather, they are readily integrated into the domestic economy.įor the Semai, a hunter-gatherer people from Malaysia, parents do not programmatically teach their children specific life or work skills as this would be coercive and detrimental to the child: How children are treated can depend on cultural factors that include subsistence type, economic activity, family or community structure, and residence patterns. It begins to consort freely with children of its own age or company (otu) and to take its share in work and play.” Photo by Julien HarneisĪmong the Igbo of Nigeria, for instance, Basden (1966: 65) finds that “from the age of about three years, the Ibo child is reckoned as sufficiently advanced to be left more or less to its own devices. Furthermore, a child’s personhood status may be acknowledged earlier or later on in the life-cycle in some societies compared with others. They may be left to “find their own way” from a much younger age than Westerners are accustomed to. While Western parents may be more familiar with the cultural notion that child-rearing demands a hands-on approach from caregivers until the child is self-sufficient, other cultures might leave children to explore freely as a form of self-education. This proactive and instructive approach, which can involve singing to a baby in the womb and providing educational toys with parental guidance throughout childhood, contrasts sharply with the approach to child development found in most non-WEIRD societies.Įthnographic examples from the eHRAF World Cultures database effectively illustrate some of the ways that culture influences childhood development. In so-called WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic) societies, the responsibility is largely placed on parents or parental figures to not only nurture their children, but also teach them and guide their intellectual and social development from as early on in the lifespan as possible – including attempts to influence the fetus in utero (Lancy 2010: 80). A very thorough review of childhood-aided immeasurably by eHRAF- from the ethnographic archives has allowed me to offer a cross-cultural and distinctly different account of “normal” childhood.” As the author explains: “I’ve had some success at weakening the intellectual monopoly that western, middle class culture holds on ideas about child rearing and child development. Lancy has captured parental fascination beyond academia by challenging much that is so familiar about childhood in Western society. The third book puts Western parenting into perspective by comparing parenting practices with those of other societies. The second book focuses on the importance of “helping” in early childhood that commonly transitions to work in middle childhood. Using past and present examples from all regions of the world, in the first book, Lancy reveals alternate cultural notions of children who can be treated by parents and care-givers as innocent beings, annoying inconveniences, or commoditized possessions. But the anthropology of childhood has recently gained more prominence in academia, perhaps aided by Professor David Lancy’s comparative books, The Anthropology of Childhood: Cherubs, Chattel, Changelings (2015), Anthropological Perspectives on Children as Helpers, Workers, Artisans, and Laborers (2017), and Raising Children: Surprising Insights from Other Cultures (2017). Since the 1950s, cross-cultural researchers have studied cultural variation in the treatment of infants and children and have produced numerous publications on the possible causes and consequences of these variations. Cross-cultural research using the eHRAF World Cultures and eHRAF Archaeology databases allows us to compare and contrast aspects of childhood between cultures. However, approaches to childhood and children vary greatly across countries and peoples around the world. What is a “normal” childhood? Childhood, child-rearing and care-giving are all areas of human development which are largely taken for granted from within a single culture. Smith also assembled a crack voice cast, having Mark Hamill cackle his way through Skeletor's lines and enlisting Lena Heady - yes, Game of Thrones' Cersei Lannister herself - to give Evil-Lyn the appropriate menace. Filmation was renowned for its cheap production tricks, like constantly using the same cycles of He-Man punching or running, whereas the anime style animation here is frequently awesome in both scope and execution. Man unwraps his bananas before weighing them to save money. That descriptor extends to every aspect of the series. Netflix has confirmed the release date for the third season of The Witcher.

That it does all this while staying true to the original characters' traits and personalities is wildly impressive. Which is something you could never say about the 80s original. You'll have to take my word for it when I say that at least two of the first five episodes of Masters of the Universe: Revelation pack an emotional punch. As a kid, the franchise simply filled my universe. save the day and then recreate those adventures with the toys and our friends.Įven now, knowing that He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was nothing more than a glorified ad, the nostalgia towards it still hits hard. Quality control was not a primary concern.īut it's target audience - kids like me - didn't care that we were the ones getting played. Toy manufacturing company Mattel enlisted animation studio Filmation to quickly and cheaply pump out a show around its new range of action figures and that's what they did. This is because He-Man and the Masters of the Universe existed solely to sell toys to kids. While the character design has become iconic, the animation itself is fairly poor and the storylines are incredibly simplistic with no arcs whatsoever. The show was cheesy, good fun and one that I can tell you does not stand up today. I'm not sure if this is because the 1980s were a distressingly long time ago and most of my childhood memories are now as hazy as a boutique craft beer or because the show itself wasn't particularly memorable. Skeletor and He-Man battle it out once again in Masters of the Universe: Revelation, now streaming on Netflix.ĭespite religiously watching the animated He-Man series when I was a kid, and owning a handful of the associated toys, I really don't remember too much about it.

It is made entirely out of titanium with a PVD coating. Designed with practical shooters in mind who wish to suppress multiple platforms, the Trash Panda is short, lightweight, and totally hearing safe. Q’s Trash Panda is their smaller “Quickie Fast-Attach”. This pistol utilizes a custom SB Tactical® Pistol Stabilizing Brace® designed specifically for the Mini Fix. The Mini Fix is currently offered in an 8” 1:5 twist 300 BLK configuration with optional 12” 5.56 barrels offered by both Q and Proof Research. It uses M4 pattern magazines as opposed to the SR-25 pattern magazines used by its big brother The Fix. The Mini Fix pistol has a smaller receiver and bolt assembly. If the name didn’t make it obvious, the Mini Fix is the “Mini Action” version of The Fix in a pistol configuration. The Fix is the ultimate utility rifle, capable of just about anything you need it to do. It is like nothing you’ve ever seen before and it’s certainly not your dad's bolt action rifle. From the one piece aluminum receiver to the 45 degree bolt throw and even the proprietary lock-up on the folding stock’s hinge that only gets more and more solid over time and doesn’t wobble, everything on The Fix was designed from the ground up. The Fix by Q is the biggest step forward in bolt-action rifle innovation since 1962, and is the foundation of what Q as a company believes in: science and innovation. The “poor man’s Honey Badger” is still a top tier piece of equipment in anyone’s personal collection.

Built on a clear anodized M16 spec receiver set sans the forward assist, with a cerakote finish, it features the same fast-twist barrel, Cherry Bomb muzzle device, adjustable gas block, and 6-inch M-LOK handguard as the higher priced Honey Badger. It’s a 7-inch direct impingement pistol chambered in 300 BLK. The Sugar Weasel was jokingly deemed the ‘Poor Man’s Honey Badger”. A 4.5lb, 7” 1:5 twist 300 BLK piece of art! Just like with the SBR, it comes with a removable Q Cherry Bomb muzzle device on it from the factory. The Honey Badger Pistol is quite literally the same as the Honey Badger SBR, just with Q’s proprietary sliding brace instead of the stock. The Cherry Bomb is removable though, so you’re able to put whatever muzzle device and. It comes with a Q Cherry Bomb on its tapered muzzle which is the perfect host for either their Trash Panda or Thunder Chicken silencers. Similarly to the Honey Badger SD, the SBR variant has a 7 inch 1:5 twist barrel and fires 300 BLK. Just like its SD counterpart, the Honey Badger SBR was brought to the commercial market by Q, after wow-ing some of the most elite warfighters in the world. From the gas system to the trigger, and telescoping stock, nothing was overlooked and Q’s Honey Badger will have you smiling every time you touch it. Q focused on updating the legendary gun and improved upon every technical aspect of the first-generation design. At first glance, Q’s Honey Badger appears to be the same as the original. That is, until Q brought it back to give to anyone and everyone who wanted it. Though it exceeded expectations, it was never brought to the commercial market. Developed in conjunction with 300 AAC Blackout, the Honey Badger was born. Requirements included the ability to shoot a rifle caliber round while maintaining low visibility and excellent sound signature suppression. The original Honey Badger was developed at AAC by Kevin Brittingham and his R&D team at the request of a Tier One US special operations group looking to replace the MP5-SD.

This code also gives the same background noise.VEED’s artificial intelligence software automatically detects noise from your audio and removes it instantly, leaving you with a crisp sound quality. I also upload some examples shown in the below code. I just want sensor output real-time converted into an audio file. so I need a minimum 100 wave file that is store in the SD card. Sir, I continually measure distance so I have required many wave audio file which plays according to distance. Something like an SD card and the TMRpcm library It is coming from the Talkie library and there is nothing you can do about other than find some other way of generating your sound. It's related to bit depth and if you convert a high-quality recording to 8-bits you'll hear it. But, it sounds like noise and just like regular noise it's worse with quiet sounds, but it goes-away completely with digital-silence. Technically, it's distortion and it doesn't exist with silence. There is another special case called "quantization noise". But, like other kinds of distortion it's not there with silence. With silence there is no distortion.Ĭompression artifacts (from low-quality compression) are distortion that's a little different because the distortion isn't related to signal level (loudness). The "classic" example" of distortion is if turn-up the volume and try to get 150W out of a 100 Watt amplifier, or if you scream into a microphone and overload the preamp. "Distortion" is also unwanted sound added to the signal but it's usually worse when the sound is loud and it doesn't affect silence. Of course if you have a loud dog barking nothing is going to hide that. You might hear some hiss or hum with quiet signals but louder sounds will often mask (drown-out) the noise. Noise is worse when there is a "silence" or a low-level signal. It's a philosophical definition/difference. If you are trying to record a dog barking then that's not noise. You can also get electrical noise from the electronics such as hiss, hum, or buzz, etc. If you bump the microphone with the guitar that's also noise. For example, if you are trying to record yourself playing guitar and the dog starts barking, the barking is noise and the guitar is the signal. Even with the latest professional software, pros still record in soundproof studios with good equipment and radio & TV studios are soundproof, etc. Noise and other audio defects are easier to prevent than to correct. If that is not the source of your background noise then please post a sound sample of your words with the background noise. If you still here this "background noise" then it is coming from the Talkie library and there is nothing you can do about other than find some other way of generating your sound. The way to tell is to just run one of the example files on an Arduino with nothing else going on. Linear predictive coding - Wikipediaīy its nature it will produce audio artifacts, which is what you might be thinking is background noise. This uses a system known as LPC ( Linear predictive Encoding ) which is an ultra compression technique like an early MP3. OK now the key thing that your software tells me is that you are using the Talkie library to generate your sounds. I have used a Lightware distance sensor and Wireless Digital Bluetooth Audio Transmitter(Amazon) The federal budget operates on the same principle. But your cash flow leaves you no alternative. To employ these tricks is economically unwise because you end up spending more money. Or you pay only the minimum on your credit card and leave the remainder for next month, or the month after that. That incurs a small penalty you’ll have to pay on your next bill. You can’t afford to pay all your bills this month, so you look them over and decide which to defer. You’ve probably got some experience taking extraordinary measures in your own financial life. In 2011, when the GOP played a similar game, it managed to lower Standard & Poor’s credit rating for U.S. But only Republicans resort to full-on extortion that puts the country at serious risk of default. Republicans like to point out that congressional Democrats have used the debt limit to extract concessions from Republican presidents. The only reason the United States didn’t go into default then was that the Treasury used the same “ extraordinary measures ” (i.e., accounting gimmicks) that it deployed during similarly dangerous debt limit games of chicken that congressional Republicans chose to play in 20. The statutory debt ceiling of $31.4 trillion was actually reached way back on January 19. We do not “owe it to our children” to charge oil companies less for leases on federal land or to enable tax cheating by the rich.Įven setting aside McCarthy’s debt ceiling bill, don’t kid yourself that Republican intransigence on the debt ceiling is cost-free. That renders glaringly hypocritical individual examples where they propose spending increases. But congressional Republicans say they’re fighting Biden on the debt ceiling (“We owe it to our children”) because they want to halt runaway spending. If the debt ceiling bill’s pledge to cut discretionary spending next year by 27 or 33 percent is a bluff, isn’t that same bill’s pledge to bloat the deficit by $115.4 billion also a bluff? Sure, OK. You may protest that the previous two calculations are speculation. That sounds like a spending cut, but rescinding that increase would cost the federal government $186 billion in lost tax revenue over the next decade, according to CBO, netting out to a cost of $115 billion. The debt limit bill would also claw back $71 billion of the $80 billion Congress included in last year’s climate bill to boost funding for the IRS. But as the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities pointed out, if McCarthy intends not to cut funding for the Veterans Administration, then discretionary spending on all other domestic programs next year will have to be cut not 27 percent but 33 percent. McCarthy blows a gasket every time President Joe Biden points out that his plan would require a severe reduction in veterans’ benefits. That’s assuming, as everyone does, that congressional Republicans will never apply these across-the-board spending cuts to the Pentagon. Doing that would necessitate, next year, a 27 percent cut in discretionary spending, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
