While Nimble Storage celebrates its successful IPO, not everything is going its way. "My advice for any company looking at an IPO is to invest in people who know the channel because that's where you'll find the people who know the customer accounts." "It helps to have people familiar with the VAR community," Norbie said. Norbie said Nimble has proven itself able to attract top-notch engineering and sales talent from such channel-friendly companies as EqualLogic, acquired in 2007 by Dell, and Data Domain, acquired in 2009 by EMC. It's about assembling the right tech plus the right people." "I like the fact they're a success not just with the technology. ![]() "It's an interesting company," Norbie said. for Technology Integration Group (TIG), a San Diego-based solution provider and Nimble Storage partner. Nimble Storage's IPO success is good news for not only the storage industry but also the channel, said Keith Norbie, director of server, virtualization and storage for the Eastern U.S. Nimble Storage, which in September of 2012 closed its final funding round to bring funding in the company to $98 million, had been expected to do an IPO for some time. The company's Cache Accelerated Sequential Layout (CASL) architecture allows the building of storage arrays with up to 36 TB of raw flash storage and spinning disk capacity and such functions as dynamic caching with sub-millisecond latency, compression of data by up to 75 percent, thin provisioning, scale-out clustering, instant snapshot and recovery, and replication of data over a WAN. Nimble Storage hybrid solutions integrate high-performance flash storage technology with high-capacity hard disk drives, which allows customers to increase performance, capacity or both. Near the close of trade, share prices were up nearly 60 percent. That valued the company at over $2.2 billion. San Jose, Calif.-based Nimble Storage, trading on the Nasdaq exchange under the NMBL moniker, raised $168 million in one of the most successful IPOs of 2013 with an opening share price of $31.49, or 50 percent over its IPO price of $21 per share. Friday the 13th was a lucky day for Nimble Storage, which saw its share prices soar by over 50 percent on the day it held its IPO.

![]() ![]() Plug that into your computer via Fender’s FUSE software and access even more presets and edit them to your heart’s content. This being 2016, it wouldn’t be a modern practice amp without a USB output. Other treats include an internal tuner and an optional footswitch that you can program between two settings, such as a medium overdrive with chorus for rhythm and a hairy crunch with delay for leads. You can also push this knob as a “tap” button to set the speed and interval of the delay repeats. Next to it, the DLY/REV knob offers three delays (150/300/1,500 milliseconds) and three reverbs (small room, plate, large hall). When you find a setting you like, push the Exit button and turn the knob again to adjust the wet-to-dry effect mix. The MOD knob accesses a variety of chorus, flanger, tremolo, phaser, octaver, and step-filter effects. Granted, the Mustang II’s digital crunch tones won’t replace a Marshall half-stack or a good tube combo, but for a portable 1×12, they’re a real kick in the pants.įender also provides plenty of tweakable reverb, delay, and modulation effects. The tones are all very good and usable – the cleans are particularly full and lush, and the overdrives are convincing and fun. The remaining 16 green and red banks allow users to add their own variations to these basic models and save them. These algorithms cover the gamut from clean to serious crunch and all colors in between, with various effects added to heighten each model. ![]() The first eight models are factory presets, including simulations like ’57 Deluxe, ’59 Bassman, ’65 Twin Reverb, British ’60s, British ’80s, American ’90s, Super-Sonic, and Metal 2000s. Access them with the Preset knob that rolls through three banks marked with red, green, and amber lights. The joyride starts with presets that combine amp models and effects. The box sports just one-channel, but a footswitch option allows jumping between two settings of the player’s choice. It has 40 watts of solidstate power going through a 12″ Fender Special Design speaker in a cabinet dressed up with black Tolex and top-mounted controls. The Mustang II weighs 26.6 pounds, making it suitable for anyone who wants to toss it in the back seat for a lesson or jam. ![]() The Mustang II, however, comes with a full array of amp models and a suite of digital effects that appear to transcend the “practice amp” category. Once upon a time, a practice amp was a small solid-stater with few EQ controls and perhaps basic reverb and overdrive effects. FEATURES: Dual 4” full range Fender Special Design speakers, 1.When you check out an amp like the Fender Mustang II, you may wonder if the term “practice amp” still applies anymore.CONTROLS: Gain, Volume, Treble, Bass, Master, Encoder button for menu navigation, Utility buttons Back, Save, Menu and Tap.The higher-gain fare is good too, though not at the level of the some of the competition’s more metallic offerings.Īmp names like ’70s Rock also make it less clear what the inspiration is (it’s a Marshall Super Lead Plexi), but some digging in (or cheating with the online manual) will reveal tones inspired by the JCM800, Vox AC30, Dual Rectifier, 5150 and OR120.Īll in all, there’s plenty to enjoy here at a fair price for a compact 40-watt stereo amp that will keep you inspired. The Deluxe, Twin (’50s and ’65), Champ, Bassman, Princeton and spiky Excelsior make for a great selection. ![]() One user mentioned that they were deemed unqualified despite having worked in the industry in the past (which actually might be a good thing for businesses looking for people with recent experience). Others complained about the pay (one user review specifically cited getting $13-15 an hour compared to employees who received $20-25 an hour). A recent reviewer on the App Store page by someone looking for barback and busser jobs stated that he received one gig in three weeks despite having six to seven days of availability each week (Melia noted that job frequency varies, but the average bartender with full availability could get jobs three to four days). “Uber sends you the best car for a variety of different reasons and influences.”Īs with all gig economy apps promising ultimate freedom and flexibility, there are some downsides. Like Uber, you don’t have the ability to select the car that’s coming to you,” Melia says. To go back to the Uber reference, Jitjatjo uses an algorithm that places a worker at a gig. ![]() That could mean the manager allowing workers to keep only the cash tips they receive or the manager dolling out tips after the shift is over. Worker tips aren’t guaranteed, but are at the discretion of the bar manager. He compares it to how a bartender might work a catering event. Workers “receive a higher than normal working wage in exchange for tips,” Melia tells Supercall. ![]() ![]() Around 15 percent of gigs require a TIPS alcohol certification.Īs for the tips that bartenders care about-the ones that customers give them-it’s a little more complicated. It’s up to the establishment hiring the bartender to make a choice on the level they need. Bartenders are classified into three tiers: Solid (knows basic drinks), Outstanding (extensive bar experience) and Epic (“mixologist-level”). Once someone chooses the positions they are looking for, they add at least one qualified reference for each position. Bars are a decent part of the company’s business, though, and Melia says around 25 percent of the gigs booked through the app are bar related. It also includes line cooks and catering servers to name a few. Jitjatjo is for the entire service industry, not solely for bartenders. “Work when you want,” the app’s description page reads, adding, “No more time wasted searching for work, just enter your availability and we’ll find you gigs that fit your schedule.” Because if a side hustle is about anything, it’s about the money. Most importantly, payments are quick, paperless and directly into workers bank accounts. The promises sound familiar to anyone who has worked in, or been on the receiving end of, the tech-assisted gig economy: the app finds the gig for you (or finds the worker) and the more someone uses the app the better it gets at placing jobs. Jitjatjo, an app that officially launched in late 2016, is trying to function like an Uber for bartending by connecting service industry workers with bars in need of temporary workers.Īccording to Justin Melia, head of marketing for Jitjatjo, the app is already being used at traditional bars, places holding corporate parties, nightlife clubs like TAO and sporting event venues in New York City and New Jersey. First the gig economy came for taxis, then it came for hotels. ![]() ![]() Take a walk and you'll even see the ruins of the medieval St Mary's Abbey Church, which dates back to the mid-11th century.

The latest - and most accessible - film from Greek auteur Yorgos Lanthimos ( The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) is a wild, queer romp through the 18th-century court of the sickly, often childlike Queen Anne of England. If Colette's unapologetic queerness weren't enough, transgender actors Rebecca Root and Jake Graf play a cisgender couple who flirt with her in a parlor scene. The film chronicles Colette's rise to fame as she leaves behind her country upbringing to become the toast of Paris along with her husband, Willy (Dominic West), who spurs her to chronicle her life for his literary factory where only his moniker appears on everything that's published.īracing in its frank depiction of sexual freedom, the film shows Colette and Willy beginning an open relationship in which they end up bedding the same American socialite before Colette falls for the trans-masculine Missy (Denise Gough). ![]() In the film directed by Wash Westmoreland, who is gay, Keira Knightley embodies the pansexual bohemian feminist who stepped out of her husband's shadow to become the most famous female French author in the world. We need each other."Ĭolette, about the trailblazing writer Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, who engaged in relationships with men, women, and trans-masculine-identifying people circa the Belle Epoque, is queer to its core. ![]() "I think the way that we did the sex scene - we're not naked. But they also work and they are also titillating to me," Sevigny said. And you see them in passing, these moments of almost touching and those kinds of period romance cliches. The movie is so restrained and so buttoned-up. It felt like she deserved that love and an escape from her horrid existence." "That's where we wanted to build the relationship with Bridget for her - that Bridget was finally an outlet. She had a lot to say and no one to say it to," Sevigny said. "I felt like a lot of the world outside of Fall River was changing, but in that Calvinist community, she was really smart. She had a rich inner life and she didn't have a lot of outlets," Sevigny told The Advocate about Lizzie, who's depicted as being an avid reader and a patron of the arts. The movie also fits right in with the #MeToo era, with Lizzie and her maid/love interest/co-conspirator Bridget (Kristen Stewart) literally bashing toxic masculinity in the face. A film that shares a lineage with the queer true crime-based films of the '90s like Heavenly Creatures and Sister My Sister, Lizzie is a fresh take on the "murderous lesbians'" trope. Although there were several iterations along the way, the final version of the film about the ax killer from the tiny town of Fall River, Mass., couldn't have come at a timelier moment. Part revenge tale and part redemption song, Lizzie took years for indie darling Chloe Sevigny ( Boys Don't Cry, Big Love, Love and Friendship) and out writer Bryce Kass to shepherd to the screen. Since it was released, Carol, which begins during the days before Christmas and includes Carol and Therese consummating their desire during a road trip on New Year's Eve, has become a bit of a holiday tradition, especially among queer women. If that weren't enough, out Emmy winner Sarah Paulson plays Carol's best friend and former lover, Abby. In fact, the novel and the film's hopeful ending offers a possible happily-ever-after for Carol and Therese.īeyond that, its artistry is undeniable, with a team that includes New Queer Cinema darling Haynes at the helm, screenwriter Phyllis Nagy (who is a lesbian and who was friends with Highsmith), costumer Sandy Powell (who also costumed The Favourite), composer Carter Burwell, and cinematographer Ed Lachmann ( Far From Heaven). ![]() Still, it was the first Oscar-worthy love story about a female couple in which a man does not steal focus and that doesn't end in disaster or death for the women. The film, starring Cate Blanchett as the titular Carol, a soon-to-be-divorced New Jersey socialite and mother who falls for Rooney Mara's Therese, the shopgirl who is, as Carol notes, "flung out of space," earned six Oscar nominations, even if it was snubbed in the Best Picture category. More than half a century after Patricia Highsmith's groundbreaking 1952 novel The Price of Salt/Carol was released, Todd Haynes's big-screen adaptation Carol became revolutionary in its own way. Sydney are collaborating on research to produce a marketable thruster from this technology. Brian Hawkett and Nirmesh Jain at the University of Sydney in Australia. A ferrofluid is composed of three components: magnetic nano particles, dispersion medium (also called carrier liquid) and a dispersant or surface active agent. Although ferrofluids are not a new technology, the development of a ferrofluid that has all of the properties required for use as a spacecraft propellant is new. When exposed to a magnetic field, the nanoparticles form regular. Michigan Tech has a pending patent for this ionic liquid ferrofluid propulsion technology. Ferrofluid is a colloidal liquid made of particles less than 10 nanometers in diameter. ![]() The result is a thruster composed of many small peaks – each producing a jet of ions – that assembles itself out of the propellant. At the tip of these peaks, the electric field is amplified and electrospray emission can be achieved. When these fluids are in the presence of a magnetic field, the fluid interface naturally deforms into a series of peaks and valleys, referred to as the Rosensweig instability. Ferrofluids are magnetic liquids that can be manipulated with the use of magnets. In 2012, members of the Ion Space Propulsion lab demonstrated a novel method of electrospray using ferrofluids. Traditionally, this method of propulsion requires a needle-like structure to generate the electric stresses needed to spray the fluid. This method of propulsion uses electrical energy to accelerate an atomized liquid propellant to produce thrust. One promising solution for micro-propulsion is called electrospray. Existing propulsion technologies, which are deployed on larger class satellites, cannot be scaled down in size while maintaining their performance. A ferrofluid is a colloidal suspension of single domain particles dispersed in a carrier liquid and stabilized by a suitable organic surfactant. You can not use this ferrofluid in mid-ranges or woofers - those require a ferrofluid with a different viscosity and other magnetic particles. One enabling technology for these satellites is a scalable and efficient method of maneuvering the tiny vehicles in space. ![]() Advances in satellite computational and communications systems have allowed smaller satellites to perform missions which could previously only have been accomplished with much larger and more expensive spacecraft. Obsidian is most frequently jet black, but can be dark brown, gray or gray-green. It is an amorphous material known as a “mineraloid” with a hardness of 5 to 5.5, and is usually opaque except on thin edges. Obsidian forms from molten lava in the last stages of volcanic eruptions, the remaining silica minerals that flow onto the surface and are super-cooled into glass before crystallization can occur. Ancient Greek civilizations used Obsidian balls and flat mirrors for scrying, and Native American cultures used Obsidian in their spiritual ceremonies to sharpen inner sight. The Olmecs fashioned concave mirrors capable of lighting fires, and the Maya and Aztecs wore Obsidian mirrors to show elite status, and polished it into sheets for divining a person’s destiny. In ancient Mexico and surrounding regions Obsidian was known as iztli or teotetl, meaning “the divine stone,” used to carve amulets, jewelry, grave ornaments, and images of the god Tezcatlipoca, whose name means “smoking mirror,” and who was said to see all that occurred in the world and heavens through his Obsidian mirror. They also chose Obsidian as the pupils of the eyes in their famous Moai (statues) to endow them with authority and a spiritual essence. ![]() In the Middle East, it was esteemed for its sharpness and precision in ritual circumcision, ancient Melanesians honed pointed pieces for tattooing the skin, and peoples on Rapa Nui (Easter Island) made multipurpose tools called mata’a for food preparation and cultivation. Pre-Columbian Mesoamericans fashioned a sword with Obsidian blades mounted in a wooden body, called a macuahuitl, that was capable of inflicting horrific injuries, and Obsidian daggers were reputed to be used in bloodletting and human sacrifice. Obsidian’s conchoidal fracture allows it to break into pieces with curved surfaces and very sharp edges, and it has been found around the world fashioned into arrowheads, spear points, knives, axe heads, scrapers and various other cutting instruments. ![]() The use of Obsidian dates to the Old Stone Age, and many cultures relied heavily on this material in their daily, ritual, and spiritual lives. It is highly protective, shielding one from negativity in the environment, from others, and from within the self. Obsidian provides essential grounding, connecting the base of the spine to the heart of the earth. ![]() It impels growth and resolution, and lends solid support and direction during the process. It reveals the reasons behind one’s imperfections and causes of dis-ease, and provides a clear picture of the changes needed to ameliorate them. This shamanic stone can be brutal and direct, yet it carries the wonderful power of catharsis and deep soul healing. ![]() Its edge can be razor sharp, and its dark, glossy surface polished into cold, hard glass, a “mirror stone” for those prepared to look deep into the inner being, the subconscious, to reveal one’s shadow self…flaws, weaknesses, fears, all. It has no boundaries or limitations, and works rapidly with great power. It is no ordinary stone, but nature’s glass formed from volcanic lava and hardened so quickly it formed no crystalline structure. Obsidian is a talisman of those who dare to see…the past, the future, or one’s own inner demons and darkest truths.

This is backed up by the EPA-estimated fuel economy figures of 46/41/44 mpg city/highway/combined, the bigger city number being the tell that the electric motor does most of the work at low speeds. ![]() (Before, the gas engine would rev out of sync with how much you pressed on the gas pedal while the electric motor did most of the motivation, lending it an odd, disconnected feel.) Much of the time, though, when you're not standing on the gas pedal, the Accord's engine stays off or keeps the revs low, leaving the big electric motor to provide smooth, quiet motivation at city speeds. Honda improved the engine's noise, vibration, and harshness this time around and programmed in simulated "shifts"-rises and peaks in the engine rpm while you accelerate-to give the powertrain a more natural feel, where the engine's speed better matches the vehicle's acceleration. ![]() Three crewmen from the Trinidad, including the diarist, Pablo Salvador Hernandez, escaped by rowing the ship’s longboat to Acapulco. Soon the Spaniards, “lacking the immunity built up over the centuries by the Indians,” succumbed to dysentery contracted from the polluted waters of the lake. Ill with scurvy, most of the crew abandoned the ship and camped inland near an Indian village by a freshwater lake. Based upon his archeological evidence and Spanish documents-including a mysterious diary written by a Trinidad survivor-Markey described how Ulloa had anchored the galleon in the mouth of the San Luis Rey River on Aug. 25, 1952, Markey presented a detailed account of the last days of Francisco Ulloa and his men.
