A writer from the Daily Record said that Vengaboys were ready "for their biggest hit yet", adding that it, like their previous singles, was "another full on party anthem". ![]() Can't Stop the Pop described it as "a relentless tour-de-force of Eurodance". BuzzFeed listed the song at number 66 in their list of "The 101 Greatest Dance Songs Of the '90s" in 2017.

It was named the fifth "worst ever summer song" in a survey conducted by Tony Blackburn and music e-tailer AllMusic editor William Cooper wrote that "the campy approach can be overbearing, but the upbeat, tuneful material on this release is difficult to dislike." Andrew Cowen from the Birmingham Post described the song as being "as daft as the title". The song received mixed reviews, though most were generally positive. It has sold over 620,000 copies in the UK as of July 2014. The song debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart for the week ending 20 June 1999. It is written in the key of F-sharp major and maintains a tempo of 138 beats per minute in common time. "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!" is a Eurodance and pop song that runs for 3 minutes and 22 seconds. In the United Kingdom, Positiva Records issued the song as two CD single. It was released to radio in the United States in June 1999 and re-released to US radio in June 2017. The song was written by Vengaboys producers Danski and Delmundo, with the first verse interpolating the ABBA song " Lay All Your Love on Me" written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. It was a top-ten hit in several other countries, including Australia, France, and Italy. ![]() It reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in June 1999 and peaked atop the charts of Flanders, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, and Sweden while also topping the Canadian RPM Dance 30 chart. " Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!" is a song by Dutch Eurodance group Vengaboys, released as a single in October 1998 from the band's debut album, Up & Down - The Party Album (1998).

![]() ![]() When I told Lightspeed about it, they even took that opportunity to do some serious research and to use what they learned to build in even better electrical noise resistance. In other words, it was a noisy radio affecting the headset (and other headsets of all brands), not the Lightspeed headset itself. In the aircraft I flew them in, there was no electrical noise except when we flew with a very, very noisy/leaky UAT ADS-B out transmitter. It's similar in size and shape to the Sierra, but as pointed out already it's not just a wireless Sierra. The Tango is an excellent headset and if your desire is a wireless solution, it delivers. I flew with the Tango several times very early on in both a Cherokee and the RV-12. ![]() I've flown with all the current and multiple-generations-back Lightspeed headsets in a variety of aircraft. The difference is in design and of course the fact there aren't any more cords getting in the way. Compared to my Zulu 2's, there is no difference in Nose Canelling. The Noise Cancelling Function is the same as the Zulu. ![]() According to Ligthspeed, the Tangos are NOT Sierras's modified to be cordless. The Tangos - IN MY OPINION (and I really don't care what others may think) are great for my flying needs. I fall into the latter, when I see a benefit. I just have to remember to take the spare batteries.Īs with all new technology, there will be the nay-sayers, as well as those who will eagerly adapt the new gear. IF I need to take my headsets into someone else's airplane, I have the control modules with the plugs. I've now got two pairs of Zulus that are gathering dust, along with my 30+ year old David Clarks. Overall, I will use the Tango in my RV-9A all the time. The wife loves that.įor the poster indicating they picked up noise - all handsets systems will pick up noise if the wiring isn't done properly - shielding connected to a proper ground, etc. The Bluetooth functionality nicely removes cable clutter from the cockpit. Take the depleted battery and put it into the LEMO module for recharging. When necessary, simply open the charging port and remove the battery to install a fresh battery into the headset. Now I've the LEMO module wired into my RV-9A and it charges a battery for the headset. After some time, I found that instead of carrying a couple of batteries, Lightspeed came out with a modification that permits the LEMO version to charge a battery for the headset while using system power for the control module. they work great in any aircraft that uses conventional plugs. I originally purchased the standard plug control units. Let's get to the OP's question - I have the Tangos - two pair. ![]() ![]() The English localization of the anime merely changes the spelling of her name to "Raye". In the original Japanese anime adaptation of Naoko Takeuchi's manga, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon, the character Sailor Mars was named Rei Hino.

Mars Fire Ignite: Shoots fire at the enemy.However, because of the Super Stitions surrounding the temple and Raye's fondness for the crows and ravens that inhabited the environment, many of her peers avoided her, believing her to be frightening and stand-offish.Īs Sailor Mars she has the power of fire and can dispel evil spirits.Īs Super Sailor Mars her fire powers are stronger than before. As a teenager, Raye began to attend a private school and moved in with her grandfather, who was a Shinto priest who lived in a temple on Cherry Hill in Tokyo, Japan. She learned at a very young age how to fight and defend herself against bullies, especially boys who picked on her because she was a girl. On Earth Raye grew up to be something of an overbearing, domineering, and tomboyish, but rather feminine young girl. In a twist of irony the sixth shadow warrior, Pox, would also be reincarnated as the father of Raye's father, Mr. The last of her lifeforce was used to send Raye and the others to Earth where they would be reborn without memories of their lives on the Moon. Queen Serenity used the Crescent Moon Wand and the Imperium Silver Crystal to seal Beryl and the Negaverse away. When Queen Beryl invaded the Moon kingdom with the Negaverse, the Princess of Mars fought valiantly alongside the likes of Prince Darien and the other Princesses against Beryl's warriors.ĭespite her efforts, she and the others subjects of the Moon Kingdom, including Princess Serena, were killed in the battle that brought the kingdom to ruin. ![]() She and the other Princesses, Lita, Amy and Mina were a part of Princess Serena's court and acted as her protectors. She ruled as both the Princess and a skilled warrior of Mars and was a subject of the Moon Kingdom, governed by the mother of Princess Serena, Queen Serenity. Like the other Sailor Scouts, Raye was born 1,000 years ago. She is the reincarnated Princess of Mars, In the 30th Century, she becomes the protector of Neo-Queen Serenity and her daughter, Princess Rini. Sailor Mars, also known as Super Sailor Mars, is the third Sailor Scout and civilian identity of Raye Hino. ![]() ![]() Other developed countries are in similar shape. Since recessions do inevitably happen and result in less tax revenue and increased expenditures when they do, the CBO has had a historical tendency to understate deficit and debt growth. Importantly, the CBO always assumes there will be no recessions within their multi-decade forward forecasts. In the near-term, however, there is plenty of alignment about corrective potential.With debts at record levels around the world, there are folks calling for debt jubilees- the cancellations of certain types of debt.Īfter a period of stabilization, the Congressional Budget Office expects federal debt-to-GDP to eventually reach 200% while deficits structurally continue to grow as a share of GDP: Zac’s technical analysis has a long-term bullish setup for TSLA after this correction, whereas I think the fundamentals are quite risky, so we’ll see what happens. I don't use stops for long positions but I use them strictly for short positions. I've had mixed success with TSLA shorts this year as a portfolio hedge and risk management tool, and maintaining tight cover points is what kept the attempts rather neutral in terms of profit and loss. However, it’s important to maintain tight cover points because TSLA does have a tendency to surprise to the upside with positive sentiment. I consider it a “sell the news” event at this point, as a base case. The valuation is excessive, and a lot of this recent rally was about its entry into the S&P 500, which required a lot of forced-buying by index funds, which is now complete. ![]() I discussed a probable TSLA short in my December 20 th report for fundamental reasons, and am now short TSLA from $660. ![]() Likewise, Zac has a bearish near-term setup for TSLA: I remain bullish on Bitcoin over the next year, and pretty bullish on GBTC as well, but because it became a large portfolio position and has a premium that is higher than my liking with plenty of corrective potential, I’m trimming here for risk management. So, today I did go ahead and trim 100 shares, or 20% of the position. It has tripled from our entry point, and now has a 40% premium to NAV: I mentioned in my December 20 th deep dive report that I am considering trimming GBTC from the No Limits portfolio. Zac has a long-term bullish setup still in place for GBTC, but with a risk of a significant pullback in the near-term: When the line is going up, it means value is outperforming, and when the line is going down, it means growth is outperforming. It could be another fake-out, but given the big shift in fiscal and monetary policy this year, along with the unusually wide valuation gap between growth and value stocks, this one could have real potential: More broadly, there is potential growth-to-value rotation occurring. Many high-yield stocks are banks or energy or real estate related, so a couple small tobacco stock positions can add a bit of diversification to a yield-centered portfolio. I prefer BTI due to its global exposure, but holding a small collection of cheap tobacco stocks is rational as well. ![]() Likewise, Altria (MO) has a similar fundamental chart: It’s not a sexy stock pick, but it has outperformed for decades, and after the past five years of severe underperformance, is extremely cheap relative to its fundamentals. Over time, BTI will keep consolidating its operations and balance sheet, and is generating plenty of cash for dividends. For example, debt/EBITDA increased, while debt/assets decreased from the acquisition point: If we look at raw free cash flow, it also looks great:Įver since their big Reynolds acquisition, some of BTI’s metrics have been a bit wonky, because it takes time to digest such a large acquisition. Garrett recently posted a bunch of setups about rotation plays, the two that I like a lot fundamentally are both tobacco-related (even if I hate their products).īritish American Tobacco (BTI) is extraordinarily cheap, pays a high yield, and consensus analyst expectations are for earnings growth: In this issue of “Where Fundamentals Meet Technicals”, we look at a couple high-yielding cheap value plays, and provide an update on the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). ![]() ![]() ![]() Ripke (Eds.)

It’s like playing cards with a magician.” Seaton said he believes the bill’s collective bargaining component is its most vital: “We’re a lot weaker on our own than we would be as a group,” he told me. Nearly 1,000 supportive editorials and op-eds have been published in newspapers in 48 states, including Colorado. One of the main advocates is the News/Media Alliance, joined by more than 300 other advocacy groups. Yet supporters of the bill remain hopeful. Buck’s chief counsel recently confirmed to me that the congressman has no immediate plans to reintroduce a companion bill in the House, since “its prospects are grim.” The technology platforms remain fiercely opposed just days ago, Meta issued the same ultimatum in response to California’s own Journalism Preservation Act that it made last year in response to the federal legislation. Progressives argue its benefits will accrue to large media holding companies conservatives claim right-leaning sites could be censored by publishers. The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act has detractors on both sides of the political spectrum. According to the Colorado Media Project, roughly one in five Colorado newspapers has closed since 2004 the number of reporters in Colorado declined by nearly 44% between 20 and many small business owners who control almost two-thirds of Colorado’s 151 newspapers are looking to sell their businesses.

Australia’s News Media Bargaining Code has resulted in more than AU$200 million in combined payments from Google and Meta to large and small publishers, equating to roughly 20% of Australian journalists’ salaries. Australia faced similar threats but in 2021 passed a comparable bill requiring technology platforms to pay news publishers for use of their content.

![]() ![]() ![]() The stylistic elements of this masterpiece are so distinctive that the artistic attribution has been advanced by scholars it is believed the artist could have been a follower of the circle of Willem Vrelant, one of the most influential Flemish illuminators of the period. The margins are also decorated with blue borders, gold acanthus leaves, and other drolleries. In fact, the color palette is very limited in its depictions: colored in blue, old rose, green, gray, and white, with a few touches of gold. Not only are the pages painted black, but the miniatures themselves also use the same dark tones. ![]() Made in Bruges (Flanders) between 14, this illuminated manuscript was probably realized for a sophisticated patron of the Burgundian Court. This unusual page color is due to the extremely corrosive process used to dye the vellum with iron gall ink.

Parisi Presicce said after the Mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri cut a ceremonial ribbon Monday afternoon. Taken together, the temples make for “one of the best-preserved remains of the Roman Republic,” Mr. One of the temples, reached by an imposing staircase and featuring a circular form and with six surviving columns, is believed to have been erected in honour of Fortuna, a goddess of chance associated with fertility. The temples are designated A, B, C and D, and are believed to have been dedicated to female deities. A tower at one edge of Largo Argentina once topped a medieval palace. ![]() The temples emerged during the demolition of medieval-era buildings in the late 1920s, part of dictator Benito Mussolini’s campaign to remake the urban landscape. What leads archeologists to pinpoint the ruins as Pompey’s Curia? “We know it with certainty because latrines were found on the sides” of Pompey’s Curia, and ancient texts mentioned the latrines, said Claudio Parisi Presicce, an archeologist and Rome’s top official for cultural heritage. That’s because, over the centuries, the city had been built up, layer by layer, to levels several metres above the area where Caesar masterminded his political strategies and was later fatally stabbed in 44 BC.īehind two of the temples is a foundation and part of a wall that archeologists believe were part of Pompey’s Curia, a large rectangular-shaped hall that temporarily hosted the Roman Senate when Caesar was murdered.

![]() Ensemble methods aim at selecting and combining multiple ESMs to form a robust and diverse ensemble of models. Multi-model ensemble refers to an ensemble of multiple ESMs with single or multiple realizations of each ESM. Single model ensemble is a single Earth system model (ESM) with multiple realizations given perturbed parameters, initialization, physics, and forcings. Ensemble methods are an active research area as multi-model ensemble can be more robust then a single-model ensemble ( DelSole et al., 2014 Al Samouly et al., 2018 Wallach et al., 2018). ![]() et al., 2016 Gutowski et al., 2020), and ensemble methods to select and combine different models. ![]() To improve raw outputs directly given by Earth system models (ESMs) for providing useful services to societal decision making, a combination of multiple methods is often used such as bias-correction to account for systematic errors ( Szabó-Takács et al., 2019 Wang et al., 2019), ensemble recalibration to improve ensemble characteristics ( Manzanas et al., 2019), downscaling to improve the spatial and temporal resolution ( Gutowski Jr. Moreover, this research serves as a starting point to build upon for red tide management, using the publicly available CMIP, Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX), and reanalysis data. This allows for efficient and transparent testing of the results’ sensitivity to different modeling assumptions. As such, the interactive Colab notebooks developed for data analysis are annotated in the paper. Additionally, our analysis follows the FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship such that data and analysis tools are findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. These findings are pertinent to other regional environmental management applications and climate services. The study results highlight the importance of prescreening-based subset selection with decision relevant metrics in identifying non-representative models, understanding their impact on ensemble prediction, and improving the ensemble prediction. We present ensemble method for improving red tide prediction using the high resolution ESMs of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) and reanalysis data. Red tide is a common name for harmful algal blooms that occur worldwide, which result from large concentrations of aquatic microorganisms, such as dinoflagellate Karenia brevis, a toxic single celled protist. We apply the method to improve the prediction of red tide along the West Florida Shelf in the Gulf of Mexico, which affects coastal water quality and has substantial environmental and socioeconomic impacts on the State of Florida. The ensemble size is then updated by selecting the subsets that improve the performance of the ensemble prediction using decision relevant metrics. ![]() In the prescreening step, the independent ensemble members are categorized based on their ability to reproduce physically-interpretable features of interest that are regional and problem-specific. We present the ensemble method of prescreening-based subset selection to improve ensemble predictions of Earth system models (ESMs). ![]() 5Fluid Dynamics and Solid Mechanics Group, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, United States.4Center for Environmental Measurement and Modeling, United States Environmental Protection Agency, Gulf Breeze, FL, United States.3Environmental Sciences Division and Climate Change Science Institute, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, United States.2Center for Economic Forecasting and Analysis, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL, United States.1Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL, United States.Kranz 1, Julie Harrington 2, Xiaojuan Yang 3, Yongshan Wan 4 and Mathew Maltrud 5 ![]() |
