In High Bay 2 inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians prepare to install one of the new jacking, equalizing and leveling (JEL) hydraulic cylinders on crawler-transporter 2. The JEL cylinders keep the crawler level as it travels along the crawlerway out to and up to the pad surface. The Grounds Systems Development and Operations Program at Kennedy is upgrading the 50-year-old crawler to handle the increased load of the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft on the mobile launcher as it travels to the pad.

Respectively DeWalta and Mike Shannon are two of house music's coolest characters. Both of them specialise in rolling and bumping beats that ooze groove, with DeWalta a regular at the Fuse parties and Mike Shannon a resident at Half Baked. If you've been to those raves, you know they go down every, single, time. Get the new DeWalta and Shannon Equalization Dub single for free on Mixmag
Together though DeWalta & Shannon are even more affective, having released several collboartive EPs via labels like Cynosure and Meander. Now though they take the plunge into album territory and 'Residual' has all the makings of something very special.
Dropping on Indigo Raw, the LP will be released through two vinyls and a digital drop and promises more space-age, funk-fuelled house. To celebrate the release we've got an exclusive download that didn't make the album but that doesn't mean it falters in quality, far from it.
DeWalta and Shannon Equalization Dub is a glitchy, shifty track that has all the components to make your shoulders roll with intent.
Expect squelchy percussion, cosmic effects and a constant, venomous drive. Grab this one while it's still hot and don't say we don't spoil you.
'Residual' is out now on Indigo Raw
Two prolific masters of warm, jazzy, earth shaking techno, producers Mike Shannon and David Koch, aka DeWalta, met in the dark electro corners of Berlin and immediately melded their club minded skills. Kitchener raised Canadian Shannon, rose up through the minimal techno scenes of Toronto, Detroit and Montréal, where he started label Cynosure Recordings (Deadbeat, Akufen and Ernesto Ferreyra among many) as well as Revolve Recordings (with Jeff Milligan), and continued on to Berlin.
DeWalta, classically trained in French horn, saxophone and piano, hit the European house and techno circuit hard in 2008 with his instrument heavy hybrid of jazz, house and swing, soon launching the Meander imprint with Fabian Geimer and Jens Krömer in Berlin.
Since their 2010 collaboration on the Haunt Music label’s Surrender EP with Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts, Shannon & DeWalta has released four EPs: syncopated synth groove No Rest for the Wicked on Cynosure, slowmo digital feast The Adventures of Saint Jack De Smoove on Meander, loose saxophone and keyboard jam All Inclusive on Haunt, and their latest multilayered beatscape The Runaway Sugar Cube on Cynosure.

VL60, first soviet mass-built a.c. electric locomotive designed by NEVZ has ALSTOM type of primary wheelset suspension using two diagonal link arms in combination with helical and leaf springs. ВЛ60 (VL60) was the first soviet mass-built a.c. electric locomotive, it was universal designed both for cargo and passenger transportation. The model was developed by NEVZ and produced in 1957-67 in large seria of 2618 ones. Initially they had ignitron rectifiers that were later replaced by silicone ones (that indicated by "К").
The temporary water barriers used during construction are nolonger needed as water is allowes to equalize between the two sides, during the opening of the new fish passageway at the Baxter Grist Mill Dam is an estimated 1.5 million dollar restoration project that features a concrete notched weir fishway for herring, reinforce the dam and improve the fish ladder at Mill Pond on the Mills Creek, in West Yarmouth, MA on Feb. 3, 2020. The progressive pool-weir fishway provides an incremental path for fish to swim between two bodies of water that have different elevations, such as here at a dam. The completion of the passage is just one major milestone in this restoration project.
An approximate $400,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources and Conservation Service (N?RCS) and a majority share from the Community Preservation Act has paid for the project.
The efforts will benefit six habitats. One of the habitats is the Mill Pond, which is the seasonal home of swan pairs. Water levels and construction activities have successfully been underway without disrupting the swans.
The construction will better stabilize the mill, a local tourist attraction. The new spillway will provide better flow through the grist mill. The dam’s earthen embankments will be made more stable with riprap rock and thick sheeting.
Since 1710, the Baxter Mill has been at this location. The dam suffered failures about 60 years ago, with subsequent rebuilds. Local funding will provide the restoration of the mill, which has been inoperative for 40 years.

"Yellow Magic Orchestra is the first album by Japanese electropop band Yellow Magic Orchestra. Originally released in Japan in 1978, the album was re-released in the United States the following year with new cover art, a more American-friendly mixing (highlighting a punchier equalization and the use of reverb) and without the closing track of 'Acrobat'. Both would later be re-issued in 2003 as a double-disc format, with the American version as the first disc.
The album was intended to be a one-off project for producer and bass player Haruomi Hosono and the two session musicians he had hired: drummer Yukihiro Takahashi and keyboard player Ryuichi Sakamoto; the trio were to recreate Martin Denny's hit 'Firecracker', as well as other original compositions, with modern electronics. The project proved highly popular, culminating in a career for the three musicians; one that would last until 1983, before successful solo careers and reunions over the decades to come.
Both 'Computer Game' tracks proper contain the same audio and were made to sound as if both games were being played in the same room; each track being from the perspective of its titular game unit - Circus and Space Invaders. Circus and several other arcade video games were featured in the promotional film for Tong Poo.
The album was first released in Japan in 1978. It was released in the US on 30 May 1979 by A&M Records on the Horizon label with a new mix by Al Schmitt, new cover art and a slightly different track listing. This 'US version' was subsequently released in Japan on 25 July 1979 by Alfa. Promotional A&M copies were pressed on yellow vinyl.
'Firecracker' was released as a single under the name 'Computer Game'. As such, on early US pressings of the album, 'Computer Game 'Theme from The Circus'' and 'Firecracker' were combined as one track, while the firecracker sound effect at the end of the track was indexed by itself as 'Firecracker'. This was corrected on later pressings." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Magic_Orchestra_(Japan_Mix)

"Martin Denny was an American piano-player and composer best known as the 'father of exotica.' In a long career that saw him performing well into his 80s, he toured the world popularizing his brand of lounge music which included exotic percussion, imaginative rearrangements of popular songs, and original songs that celebrated Tiki culture.
His combo spawned two successful offshoots: Julius Wechter (of Baja Marimba Band fame) and exotica vibist Arthur Lyman.
Denny was born in New York, and raised in Los Angeles, California. He studied classical piano and at a young age toured South America for four-and-a-half years with the Don Dean Orchestra. This tour began Denny's fascination with Latin rhythms. Denny collected a large number of ethnic instruments from all over the world, which he used to spice up his stage performances.
After serving in the United States Army Air Forces in World War II, Denny returned to Los Angeles where he studied piano and composition under Dr. Wesley La Violette and orchestration under Arthur Lange at the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music. He also studied at the University of Southern California.
In January 1954, Don the Beachcomber brought Denny to Honolulu, Hawaii for a two-week engagement. He stayed to form his own combo in 1955, performing under contract at the Shell Bar in the Hawaiian Village on Oahu and soon signing to Liberty Records. The original combo consisted of Augie Colon on percussion and birdcalls, Arthur Lyman on vibes, John Kramer on string bass, and Denny on piano. Lyman soon left to form his own group and future Herb Alpert sideman and Baja Marimba Band founder Julius Wechter replaced him. Harvey Ragsdale later replaced Kramer.
Denny described the music his combo plays as 'window dressing, a background'. It is the perfect complement to the exotic setting of Hawaii. 'A lot of what I'm doing', he stated in Incredibly Strange Music Volume 1, 'is just window dressing familiar tunes. I can take a tune like 'Flamingo' and give it a tropical feel, in my style. In my arrangement of a Japanese farewell song, 'Sayonara', I include a Japanese three-stringed instrument, the shamisen. We distinguished each song by a different ethnic instrument, usually on top of a semi-jazz or Latin beat.'
Denny built a collection of strange and exotic instruments with the help of several airline friends. They would bring Denny back these instruments and he would build arrangements around them. His music was a combination of ethnic styles: South Pacific, the Orient and Latin rhythms.
During an engagement at the Shell Bar, Denny discovered what would become his trademark and the birth of 'exotica.' The bar had a very exotic setting: a little pool of water right outside the bandstand, rocks and palm trees growing around, very quiet and relaxed. As the group played at night, Denny became aware of bullfrogs croaking. The croaking blended with the music and when the band stopped, so did the frogs. Denny thought this to be a coincidence, but when he tried the tune again later, the same thing happened. This time, his bandmates began doing all sorts of tropical bird calls as a gag. The band thought it nothing more than a joke. The next day, though, someone approached Denny and asked if he would do the arrangement with the birds and frogs. The more Denny thought about it, the more it made sense. At rehearsal, he had the band do 'Quiet Village' with each doing a bird call spaced apart. Denny did the frog part on a grooved cylinder and the whole thing became incorporated into the arrangement of 'Quiet Village'.
The Exotica album was recorded in December 1956 and released in 1957. In 1958, Dick Clark hosted Denny on American Bandstand. "Quiet Village" reached #2 on Billboard's charts in 1959 with the Exotica album reaching #1. He rode the charts of Cashbox and Variety also. Denny had as many as three or four albums on the charts simultaneously during his career. He also had national hits with 'A Taste of Honey,' 'The Enchanted Sea,' and 'Ebb Tide.'
Denny died in Honolulu on March 2, 2005 at age 93.
Denny's Firecracker is well known in Japan as the number which inspired Haruomi Hosono to establish Yellow Magic Orchestra. According to Hosono, one day in 1978, after a recording, he invited Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi to his house and showed a memo which said 'Cover and arrange Martin Denny's Firecracker into a chunky-electric disco, featuring synthesizers, to sell out four million copies around the world'.
In 1988, 808 State,a pioneering Acid House electronic group from Manchester, England cited Denny as an influence on their hit song 'Pacific State'. In November 2008, Graham Massey from 808 State held a tribute night to Martin Denny amongst other acts in London under the banner of 'Manchester Mondo'.' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Denny
It was goals-a-plenty in this West Lancashire League Premier Match with Lostock taking a 24th minute lead but going in at half time level after a late goal. Lostock regained the lead early in the second with Oxley getting his brace but 2 goals from Whitehaven took them in front. Matty Bulcock fired in an equalizer from distance to level once again. LSG finished the game with 9 players after late dismissals for Wilkinson and Riding.
When we first heard about a T-shirt called the T-Equalizer we half expected to see a garment depicting a moody Mr. T pitying fools. But no, the T-Equalizer gets its name from the fact it has an insanely great graphic equalizer across its chest.
T-Equaliser
Illuminating
But it's not some ironed-on picture of a classic LED equalizer (like the one shown when KITT talked to Michael). No, this particular equalizer is of the electro luminescent variety, and it actually reacts to the music it 'hears'. How? Well a clever little mini battery pack is hidden in a pocket just inside the hem. This powers the gleaming LEDs on the equalizer. Clever, eh?
T-Equaliser
Looking flash
Rendering every other 'look at me' T-shirt utterly obsolete, the T-Equalizer is the ultimate in clubwear. Forget about sweary shock Ts and retro schlock Ts, this eye-catching shirt is guaranteed to mesmerize fellow clubbers and pubbers as it illuminates and moves in time to the music.
We've noticed that the T-Equalizer goes mad to that 'uncha-uncha-uncha' cacophony favored by club-goers, but it also seems to like metal and the (cranked up) theme to Fraizer. The darker the venue and the louder the music, the better.
Even if you're not into music or going out, the T-Equalizer represents a great addition to any wardrobe because it's so darned original. Indeed, turn the lights off, breathe heavily and roommates could be forgiven for thinking Darth Vader had just entered the room. Okay, they'd have to be pretty stupid roommates but the fact is this hi-tech T-shirt could be from outer space...if you squint hard enough.
We donned our T-Equalizers for a night out and lost count of the people who asked where we got them. Of course, we said Firebox. And so will everyone else, so get ordering and pump up the volume before it's too late.
The young women who attend Cullman Middle School recently got the opportunity to learn hardcore, advanced self defense skills from Officer Cindy Rohrscheib of the Cullman Police Department.
Officer Robrscheib is a certified instructor in the Equalizer Self-Defense Program. She has helped train police officers and deputies throughout the Cullman County area. She is now also assisting the general public in safety awareness and women’s self-defense training across all ages groups.
Physical Education Coach Leann Evans has teamed up with Officer Rohrscheib over the last 8 years to provide this Equalizer Self-Defense Training to willing female students at Cullman Middle School. Each year brings the tried and true methods of the Equalizer system along with evolving techniques and amazing nuances designed by Officer Rohrscheib. This year’s new innovation involved escape techniques employed if students are bound by duct tape and/or rope by would-be potential attackers of captors.
This year’s program ran for a full two week session. It was challenging, rigorous and fun!

P36 (П36), the most advanced passenger steam locomotives of the USSR, were built by the Kolomna plant from 1950 to 1956 and were the last steam locomotives produced by the plant. In terms of power P36 corresponded to the pre-war locomotive IS (ИС, seria named after Joseph Stalin, passenger version of the locomotive FD), but the load on the rails was reduced, which allowed to significantly expand their use on different roads. However, the directive decision taken at the historic XX Congress of the CPSU to completely stop producing steam locomotives (and total transition to diesel and electric traction) limited their series to 251 units.

The business end of an AC-130U Spooky II's General Dynamics GAU-12/U Equalizer five-barrel 25 mm Gatling Gun-style rotary cannon. If that isn't enough to terrify you then you're not capable of being frightened. It's unloaded and I still didn't want to stand in front of it. This cannon fires about sixty-five PGU-38 HEI rounds per second. Per second. Somewhere around four thousand rounds per minute. These rounds weigh about 8 ounces each and they're as long as your hand. And you know...they pierce armor and explode 'n stuff. All while the AC-130 gunship is orbiting way up in the sky somewhere ostensibly minding its own business. If you ever wanted to know what it feels like to be a Jackson Pollock painting this is the tool for the job.

Last year my parents bought a cabin in the Whiteshell Provincial Park (in Manitoba). For the first year we kept our cats separated. In fact my cat never tried being a lake kitty. Last fall my parents lost their cat to cancer and they decided they wanted to adopt an older pair of cats and they picked a pair of ginger tom brothers (from Quagga a local no-kill shelter). They named the boys Dylan and Thomas. This year then became the first year for all three cats. We brought my cat to the lake and this past week the three boys spent their first week together. My tom called Winnie got along with Dylan, but Thomas played the part of Sir Hiss from Walt Disney's Robin Hood most of the week. There was one exception - all three could put aside their differences when they were watching the chipmunks. Here is Dylan on the left, Thomas (Sir Hiss) in the middle and Winnie on the right.

Town Showed Great Hart! A gritty comeback from 2 nil down midway through the first was started with a Tom Ince goal just before half time. Ridge came out strong in the 2nd and soon saw an equalizer from captain George Melling before a quick brace from Jay Hart put the game to bed. Town got one more through Richie Allen before AFC got a consolation. A great start to the new league with 3 points.
