KDL-V5100 Sony LCD TV Review

Least expensive 120Hz Sony BRAVIA 1080p LCD Series
A great picture at the price of entry-level HDTVs

Sony KDL-V5100 series represents Sony's relatively inexpensive 2009 entry HDTV option to 120Hz technology. As one may expect, V5100 sets do not come with the latest interactive features and Internet-enabled content, nor has Sony invested in some stylish design as is the case with Sony's XBR9 HDTVs.

However, you get basically all the picture controls found on Sony's more expensive series. Furthermore, when it comes to the most important deliverable of any HDTV - picture quality - these Sony LCD TVs are capable of solid picture performance that is much in line with that of Sony's most expensive high-end CCFL-based XBR9 series.

Overall, despite a few issues with screen uniformity and secondary color inaccuracy, V5100 HDTVs represent a most attractive HDTV option from a top brand. More in this Sony LCD product evaluation.

Introducing the Sony KDL-V5100 120Hz LCD HDTVs

Inasmuch as Sony's S5100 series represents Sony's introduction to the 1080p full HD platform, the Sony KDL-V5100 series represents Sony's entry-ticket to 120Hz refresh rate technology. In fact, V5100 Sony LCD TVs represents Sony's most affordable 120Hz 1080p LCD HDTVs within the 2009 Sony HDTV lineup.

The V5100 series comprises four models, the 55" KDL-55V5100, 52" KDL-52V5100, 46" KDL-46V5100, and the 40" KDL-40V5100.

All models share exactly the same specifications and therefore we expect similar picture performance. Best-selling Sony LCD TV within the V5100 series is the 52-inch in view of its relatively inexpensive price for a 120Hz HDTV from a top brand.

In terms of features, Sony's V5100 is almost equivalent to Samsung Series 6 B610 HDTVs.

V5100 Sony LCD TV sets do not come with the latest hot spec in HDTV entertainment - Internet-enabled TV content. For this, you have to jump onto the more expensive W5100 series. The latter also comes with 120Hz refresh rate but otherwise, share very similar features to the Z5100 and XBR9 series we reviewed on our site - including the same BRAVIA Internet features and DLNA streaming support. Apart from interactive features, W5100 sets also come with the improved Bravia Video Engine 3 and 100,000:1 instead of the 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio found on V5100 Sony LCD TVs.

However, Sony's less expensive V5100 HDTVs get nearly the same treatment when it comes to picture related features as Sony's premium series. This explains the very similar picture performance between Z5100 sets and Sony's more expensive HDTVs.

Additional features on the V5100 Sony LCD TV sets include Sony's MotionFlow 120Hz technology, Bravia Engine 2, a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and direct 24p input support. Sony also specifies a 5000:1 on-screen contrast ratio for the V5100 sets. Sony is one of the few brands that lately are specifying also the more important on-screen contrast ratio in addition to the more common dynamic contrast. The latter larger numbers are often quoted by TV makers to help them drive sales.

As with the rest of the Sony lineup, there are also plenty of connectivity options, including four HDMI inputs, three of which are placed on the side instead of the rear connection panel. Equally important, these Sony LCD HDTVs come with Sony's Smart eco menu. This includes a room light sensor to adjust the screen brightness automatically in according with the light present in the room.

The V5100 Sony LCD TV series ...in detail

Sony V5100 with bottom speakers and silver strip

V5100 sets take a rather ordinary look, without the design refinements found on the more expensive Z5100 and XBR9 Sony LCD TV sets.

The only design accent is a black strip along the bottom of the screen that fades into a mirror finish to complement the glossy piano black frame.

Sony does away with the invisible speaker system adopted on its premium models or the more popular down-firing speakers adopted by many TV makers on their HDTVs. Instead V5100 Sony LCD TVs come with a horizontal speaker enclosure just beneath the screen finished with a matte-black speaker grill.

Unfortunately, as is typical of Sony, the provided TV stand with V5100 HDTVs does not swivel. But otherwise, the all glossy black stand integrates well with the rest of the V5100 Sony LCD TV design.

Sony V5100 remote controlThe V5100 series remote control is somewhat more compact than that provided with XBR9 sets. And unlike the XBR9 remote, the V5100 clicker includes less button clutter - making it feel much easier in use.

Included on the remote is a Tools button that gives access to a list of convenient functions and menu shortcuts. The TOOLS menu items vary based on current input and content. Other hot keys include a Favorite key and a Theater button that accesses directly the Cinema picture mode.

Another difference is in the menu system. This takes a rather simple and more traditional menu structure instead of the Sony's XMB interface. A much-appreciated aspect with the V5100 menu is that the main menu categories - Picture, Sound, Screen, Channel, USB, Lock, and Setup - stay visible on the left-hand side no matter where you are in the menu. There are also short descriptions of the various menu functions apart from a product support page with contact details for Sony customer support service.

Features and Conveniences

Sony's V5100 HDTVs do lack the hottest specs of the day - Internet-enabled TV content found on premium Sony LCD TVs. These sets also come with Sony Motionflow™ 120Hz processing instead of 240Hz. While the former may represent a handicap to those looking for interactive TV content, the latter does not represent much of a loss in terms of features. It is true that 240Hz requires a faster pixel response time to support the higher refresh rate that eventually contribute to better blur-free motion. Yet the difference between 120Hz and 240Hz is extremely difficult to discern especially with normal program content.

Same as Samsung, Sony interpolates the extra frame necessary for every video frame using the so called ME/MC (motion-estimation/motion-compensation) system to generate the 120Hz TV frame rate. Sony Motionflow dejudder processing can be set to either 'Standard' or 'High' apart from being switched off, with the 'High' setting providing a higher level of smoothness, rendering film-based content more video-like.

As expressed in our XBR9 Sony LCD TV review, Sony's Motionflow dejudder processing does not support separate blur reduction and judder control as is the case with the dejudder processing implemented on Samsung's 2009 premium HDTVs. This means that you cannot really enjoy the benefits of blur reduction without the added smoothness of dejudder - rendering film-based content more video-like without maintaining the natural cadence of film.

Picture Controls: When it comes to the V5100 picture controls, these Sony LCD TVs come with almost the same set of features and picture controls as found on the more expensive series. In this respect, the V5100 series offers the usual set of picture settings.

There are three main picture preset modes - Vivid, Standard, and Cinema - in the main menu, each of which can be adjusted independently per input. The Cinema mode can be activated directly via the Theater button on the remote. An additional Custom picture mode is also available to store your preferred settings while a Game mode is available under the Advance settings menu. The Game mode disengages most of the advanced video processing - e.g. Motionflow processing - to minimize delay between controller and screen action. Interesting is that the Game mode can also be set separately for each external input.

Each of these picture modes come with noise reduction settings and three color temperature presets; a white balance picture control under the Advance picture settings menu helps fine tune color temperature.

Apart from the usual picture controls like brightness, contrast, color saturation, hue, and sharpness control, additional picture controls include a gamma setting which can be set to low, medium, and high. There is also a backlight control to adjust the brightness level of the backlight source while a clear white adjustment enhances the whites and other light colors. Sony's Advanced Contrast Enhancer automatically optimizes the backlight and contrast to better render dark picture scenes.

CineMotion provides the 2:3 pulldown and includes two settings apart from off with one of the auto settings providing additional motion estimation processing to render a smoother picture quality and reduces artifacts of moving objects. Like most settings on these Sony LCD TVs, the CineMotion feature can be set separately for each input.

The V5100 Sony LCD TVs include four aspect ratio modes for HD sources and a zero-overscan mode for full 1080i/1080p 1:1 pixel mapping.

Additional features: As indicated in our introduction, this is one of those 2009 HDTV series that come with a Smart eco menu and includes a room light sensor that automatically adjust the screen brightness accordingly. There is also a mode to turn off the screen but leave the sound on, and another to turn the TV off automatically after a set period of inactivity. In this respect, the Sony's less expensive series get the same Smart eco menu found on the more expensive series.

These Sony LCD TVs come with plenty of connectivity options - including four HDMI inputs, three of which are placed on the side instead of the rear connection panel as seen in the adjacent picture.

This approach - while surely appreciated by those that are constant swapping gear, is not ideal for those that have a fixed system layout.

As with most TV makers, Sony has dropped the S-Video input on its HDTVs but otherwise, you get a complete set of connections. Apart from the four HDMI ports, other connections include two component video, two composite video, one USB2.0, VGA-style PC input, analog audio in for HDMI/PC, Digital Audio out, analog audio out, and RF input. There is also a USB1.1 port for servicing only.

KDL-V5100 Sony LCD TV Series - Performance Analysis

V5100 Sony LCD TVs are capable of very good overall picture quality that is very much in line with Sony's high-end XBR9 HDTVs. As already expressed earlier on, while these sets miss the more advanced features found on Sony's premium HDTVs, when it comes to picture features, these LCD HDTVs got the same treatment from Sony as the premium series. This in itself helps explain the relatively solid picture found on Sony's entry-level 120Hz LCD HDTVs - something which is very much praised by both experts and consumers.

V5100 HDTVs are capable of excellent deep blacks and overall good shadow detail that is quite natural especially in the brighter parts of the image. However, as further shown in a highly technical review by D. Padilla on TelevisionInfo.com for the 52-inch model, gamma does not remain completely linear at the lower end of the scale. In simple terms, gamma determines how light output changes with a change in the video signal at the input. This lack of linearity leads to a sort of crushed shadow detail in the darker parts of the image. This is practically the same shadow performance as found on the more expensive XBR9 HDTVs. But as with the XBR9, activating the  Advanced Contrast Enhancer helps improve shadow detail in the darker parts of the image.

Most accurate out-of-the-box picture mode is the Cinema picture setting; this can be conveniently activated via the remote using the Theater 'hot' button. Color temperature in Cinema mode however is slightly on the bluish side though this can be partially corrected through proper calibration.

Color accuracy: Accuracy of the primary colors is close to perfect. But when it comes to overall color accuracy, Samsung does a lot better; even the latest 2009 premium LG LCD TVs and the PS80 LG plasma TV are very good in this respect.

View Processing: MotionFlow 120Hz dejudder processing do perform well - with the best setting being 'Standard' for a more natural effect with film-based content.

With 1080p/24 content, these Sony LCD TVs preserve the cadence of film when the 2:3 pull-down CineMotion is set to Off - while showing none of the jerky motion associated with the 2:3 pull-down process.

These Sony LCD TV sets are also capable of properly deinterlacing 1080i video-based content though they fail when it comes to 1080i film-based content. With standard definition sources, video performance is average - resolving every detail from DVD content but showing more jaggies with diagonal lines than Samsung or LG HDTVs.

Images from a PC look crisp - with text that remains clear both via HDMI and also with the set VGA input.

Screen Performance and Uniformity: There is a slight issue with screen uniformity similar to that found on XBR9  Sony LCD TVs, where uniform dark content on the screen appears rather brighter at the center than around the screen edges and corners. But this uniformity issue would not be visible with general program content.

Off-angle performance is relatively good but somewhat below average for a conventional LCD as a result of the rather sharp drop in contrast with viewing angle. In fact, actual test measurements for contrast ratio performance featured on TelevisionInfo.com show that contrast would fall to below 50% of its peak at less than 30 degrees away from the center as against the typical 40 degrees for the average LCD. However, what this 30-degrees implies in practical terms is that these V5100 Sony LCD TVs still offer more than adequate viewing angle in the home - as long as all viewers sit within the recommended viewing distance from the screen.

On the other hand, as one may expect, the matte screen on these Sony LCD TVs - though not exactly matter - handles bright lighting relatively well, doing better than plasmas and the 'Ultra Clear' shiny screen on Samsung LCD TV sets.

Sony's KDL-V5100 HDTVs represent an affordable 120Hz LCD HDTV option from a top brand. They do lack interactive features and their overall design is not as sleek as some of the competition within this price category.

Otherwise, these Sony LCD TVs are capable of a great picture thanks to their deep blacks and good shadow detail. Do not expect these to match those from the best plasma TVs, nor the deep blacks of the latest LED TVs but... Color accuracy is also generally good and you get plenty of connectivity options.

Bottom line: If what you are after is a solid picture at a relatively affordable price, the Sony KDL-V5100 series represents a most interesting line of 120Hz LCD HDTVs from a top brand.

Death toll in Sokoto attacks 39 — Gov. Tambuwal

Sokoto state on map
Sokoto state on map

The death toll in recent attacks in Sokoto state has risen to 39, Gov. Aminu Tambuwal said Thursday.

Mr Tambuwal said more bodies had been recovered after 32 were buried.

The attacks occurred in Rabah Local Government Area of the state, the latest in a string of deadly attacks across northern states.

A senator, Adamu Aliero, on Thursday blamed the attack on “bandits”.

Mr Tambuwal, who received five governors on a condolence visit, said such mass killing was happening in Sokoto for the first time.

“Currently, there are three Internally Displaced Persons camps comprising more than 10,000 people in the affected areas,” he said.

According to him, security personnel have been mobilised for constant patrol of the areas.

Zamfara state’s Gov. Abdulaziz Yari, who as chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum led the condolence visit, said leaders will cooperate to check killings and destruction of properties around the country.

He described the incident as worrisome, noting that Sokoto State enjoyed relative peace in spite of the fact that it shares boundary with some areas experiencing problems in Zamfara.

Mr Yari said, “We were in Plateau 10 days ago and now in Sokoto for the same condolence, which signified that drastic measures were needed to stop this menace.

“As leaders, we must stand up to our responsibilities, being that most of us here are affected. We are losing loved ones, property and many being injured all over the affected places.

“We need to look inward because the crime is a chain that must be stamped out. As leaders, we must cooperate and evolve measures to tackle the situation.”

Governor of Jigawa, Badaru Abubakar, led the gathering in prayer for the deceased and quick recovery for the injured.

Other governors in attendance were Aminu Masari (Katsina), Jibrilla Bindow (Adamawa), Abubakar Bello (Niger) and Kashim Shettima of Borno.

Sokoto State Deputy Governor, Ahmad Abdulkadir and Sadiq Achida, National Vice Chairman Northwest and Sokoto State Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) as well as APC chieftain, Umarun Kwabo, were also on the visit.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that hundreds of suspected gunmen on Tuesday invaded Gandi and Mabanni villages in Rabah local government of Sokoto State and killed many people, destroyed properties.

Truett-Hurst reports lowers sales

Healdsburg wine company Truett-Hurst Inc. reported last week that its net sales slightly decreased last quarter compared to the same period a year earlier.

The company said it had $5.7 million in sales for the three months ending Dec. 31, down 1 percent from the period in 2016. Truett-Hurst reported a gross profit of $1.8 million for the quarter, a 10 percent drop from the previous year.

It also noted in its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that a Sonoma County Superior Court judge on Nov. 20 dismissed a court case against it by the parent company of Mendocino Wine Co. Mendocino Wine had alleged that Truett-Hurst helped winemaker Paul Dolan breach his fiduciary duties with the Ukiah winery.

The company’s stock closed Friday at $1.88 per share.

Judges selected for barrel auction

The Sonoma County Vintners trade group has selected panel of wine experts for evaluating the wine futures that will be offered at the 2018 Sonoma County Barrel Auction, scheduled for April 20 at the MacMurray Estate Vineyards in Healdsburg.

The seven include six of master sommeliers and a master of wine, all of whom will begin double blind tastings of lots early next month. They will judge each entry for quality and ensure each varietal is a true representation of its appellation.

They include Randall Bertao of Los Altos Golf & Country Club in Los Altos; Sandy Block of Legal Sea Foods in Boston; Evan Goldstein of Full Circle Wine Solutions Inc. in San Francisco; Peter Granoff of the Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant & Wine Bar in San Francisco; David Keck of Goodnight Hospitality in Houston; Kyungmoon Kim of The Modern in New York; and Madeline Triffon of Plum Markets in Detroit.

Burgess Cellars promotes winemaker

Burgess Cellars of Napa Valley has promoted winemaker Kelly Woods to the position of winemaker-general manager. Woods has served as head winemaker of the 45-year-old family-owned estate winery since 2013 and will now oversee all departments.

A UC Davis graduate, Woods helped improve the winery’s fermentation and aging protocols. Her new role will include a focus on hospitality, sales, marketing and administration for the winery located on the western hillside of Howell Mountain.

“When I was hiring for the position of winemaker back in 2012, I was trying to find a candidate that would grow into an upper management position once they learned the company,” said owner Steven Burgess in a statement. “Kelly’s wisdom and span of control has steadily grown here; she has truly earned this official promotion.”

Abraham Lincoln said it best.

As the drums of disunion began to drown out the softer melodies of comity and reason, Lincoln, a candidate for U.S. Senate, warned a convention of Illinois Republicans that the nation could not escape its moment of decision.

“A house divided against itself cannot stand,” he said in a celebrated 1858 speech. “I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.”

The showdown he foresaw came three years later, when the guns began to fire at Fort Sumter.

Today we face another division of the house — and another looming showdown. This one will not be resolved with guns — the violence will be rhetorical — but it will be difficult, nonetheless.

We took a step toward the showdown last week when the IRS announced that married, same-sex couples will now be allowed to file joint federal tax returns, just as married opposite sex couples do. Adam and Steve — or Keisha and Rose — will be entitled to all the federal exemptions and deductions marriage provides, even if they live in states that prohibit same-sex marriage. Washington will recognize their union, even if North Carolina does not.

You may think that is simply proof North Carolina and other recalcitrant states are on the wrong side of history — again — and will eventually and belatedly have to concede the fact. You’re right, except that it may not be as eventual and belated as you think.

Consider Article IV, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, which reads, in part, as follows: “Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records and judicial proceedings of every other state.”

It’s called the “full faith and credit clause.” What it means is that each state honors and recognizes the official acts of other states. It is why, if you owe child support in Alabama, you still owe it in Alaska. And why, if you lost a civil suit in West Virginia, you are still liable for damages in South Dakota. And why, if Massachusetts considers you married, Mississippi does, too.

Or at least, that’s the theory. While that rule still applies for most of us, same-sex couples face a patchwork of laws under which their marriages might go from recognized to unrecognized and back again simply by taking a road trip. But if your home state says you’re married, and the federal government says you’re married, can Mississippi really say that you are not?

That is the question at the root of the impending showdown and sooner or later — likely sooner– it will go to the courts, probably all the way to the top.

The Constitution saying what it says, the Defense of Marriage Act having been partly overturned, the tide of public acceptance being what it is, it is hard to imagine the answer will be favorable to the foes of marriage equality.

Once again, the hidebound elements in this country will be dragged, kicking and screaming, into the present. Once again, change will come. Once again — as was the case with segregation, women’s rights, workers’ rights — that change will be something that is imposed by the many upon the obstinate few. That is regrettable. Change that is imposed is almost invariably change that is resented. And resentment brings challenges of its own. On the other hand, if those hidebound elements truly require dragging, kicking and screaming, last week’s IRS ruling suggests the rest of the country stands ready to accommodate them.

Abraham Lincoln spoke a verity for the ages, one America would be well-advised to heed. Make no mistake: The showdown is inevitable.

A moment of decision is coming once again to this divided house.

The author will be chatting with readers Wednesday from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on www.miamiherald.com.

Thomas Cahill

New York Times-bestselling historian and author of Heretics and Heroes

  • About Thomas Cahill

    Thomas Cahill’s appealing approach to distant history has won the attention of millions of readers in North America and beyond. Cahill is the author of six volumes in the Hinges of History series: How the Irish Saved Civilization, The Gifts of the JewsDesire of the Everlasting HillsSailing the Wine-Dark Sea, Mysteries of the Middle Ages, and Heretics and Heroes. They have been bestsellers, not only in the United States but also internationally, in countries ranging from Italy to Brazil.

    Cahill is best known, in his books and lectures, for taking on a broad scope of complex history and distilling it into a remarkably accessible, illuminating and entertaining narrative. His lively, engaging writing animates cultures that existed up to five millennia ago, revealing the lives of his principal characters with refreshing insight and joy. He writes history, not in its usual terms of war and atrocity, but by inviting his audience into an ancient world to commune with some of the most influential people who ever lived. Unlike all too many history lessons, a Thomas Cahill history book or speech is impossible to forget.

    A lifelong scholar, Thomas Cahill has studied with some of America’s most distinguished literary and biblical scholars at Fordham University, Columbia University, New York’s Union Theological Seminary, and the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. He has taught at Queens College, Fordham University, and Seton Hall University, served as the North American education correspondent for the Times of London, and was Director of Religious Publishing at Doubleday for six years. Cahill has addressed the U.S. Congress on the Judeo-Christian roots of moral responsibility in American Politics. He is also the author of A Saint on Death Row, about the tragic death of Dominique Green, wrongly accused and then executed in Huntsville, Texas.

  • Praise for Thomas Cahill

    Praise for Heretics and Heroes

    A great achievement. . . . Seemingly effortless illumination of the Renaissance and the Reformation.

    James S. Shapiro, author of Contested Will: Who Wrote Shakespeare?

    Cahill is our king of popular historians, and rightly so. He is eminently learned and wise . . . opinionated and unsparing in his view of history.

    The Dallas Morning News

    Praise for A Saint on Death Row

    Cahill reveals the stomach-knotting circumstances of Dominique’s childhood years with great sensitivity. . . . This is not merely an academic account of miscarried justice. [Cahill is] lending [his] voice to someone who has been dehumanized, debased. . . . Cahill’s central question lingers like the burn of stomach acid in the back of one’s throat: What did we gain—what?—by killing him?

    Paste Magazine

    Moving. . . . A powerful challenge to any notion that all is more or less OK with the administration of criminal justice in the US. . . . Once you’ve gotten to know [Dominique Green] in Cahill’s pages, [he] is not likely to slip very quickly from your memory.

    Richard Bernstein, The Daily Beast

    Remarkable. . . . Cahill’s book stimulates deep thought about good and evil. . . . Readers could count themselves foolish to pass by any book he writes. . . . An affecting book.

    The Tampa Bay Times

    Powerful. . . . [A] story of redemption and forgiveness. . . . In patient detail, [Cahill] captures a young street kid responding to [the death penalty] with such growing equanimity, grace, and saintliness. . . . [An] excellent book.

    Baltimore City Paper

    Intensely powerful. . . . A case history of the failures of society. . . . There is so much in this meticulously researched and clearly explained book to make you think.

    Washington Lawyer

    An affecting book. . . . Cahill stimulates deep thought about good and evil, and he is an intelligent, engaging historian.

    The Dallas Morning News

    An inspiring story of growth and redemption. . . . Cahill has achieved something grander than straight biography here: an intervention in public memory.

    Texas Observer

    Riveting. . . . [A] poignant tribute. . . . Cahill’s moving tale shines a sharp light on a negligent and flawed justice system.

    The Christian Science Monitor

    I expect A Saint on Death Row to become a classic in the growing struggle to cleanse this nation finally of the sin of the death penalty.

    Jonathan Kozol

    A deeply moving narrative about a man transformed as he faced an unjust execution.

    James H. Cone, author of Black Theology and Black Power

    Though this is a book that ends in death, it does not end in despair. Read it and discover how even the obscenity of capital punishment can be transformed into an occasion of light and peace.

    Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town, South Africa

    Praise for Mysteries of the Middle Ages

    [Cahill] succeeds roundly in bringing his own gift of enticing readers to the study of the past, describing the development and definition of the medieval worldview, as well as he has ever done.

    New York Daily News

    Cahill offers a fascinating portrayal of the intellectual richness that foreshadows the coming Renaissance. . . . [He] deftly focuses on key locations and major figures that form the foundations of Renaissance and Modern thought in feminism, science, and art.

    Rocky Mountain News

    Praise for How the Irish Saved Civilization

    Charming and entirely engaging, delectable voyage into the distant past, a small treasure.

    The New York Times

    A lovely and engrossing tale...Graceful and instructive.

    Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times

    Praise for Sailing the Wine Dark Sea

    Fascinating. . . . Commendable. . . . Cahill has an impressive knowledge of the Greek world. . . . His admirable skill at summing up movements
    of enormous complexity surface throughout the book.

    The Seattle Times

    Astonishing. . . . If anybody can get us reading about Homer, Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Thucydides, Xenophon and more, Cahill will.

    Chicago Tribune

    The best introduction to classical Greek culture yet written. . . . Learned, stylish and inspiring. . . . Well-informed, insightful and on the whole written in a sparkling style.

    Los Angeles Times

    Praise for The Gifts of the Jews

    This is a valuable book, of interest to everyone, religious or not.

    Washington Times

    A very good read, a dramatically effective, often compelling retelling of the Hebrew Bible.

    Chicago Sun Times

    An outstanding and very readable book…highly recommended.

    Library Journal

    Persuasive as well as entertaining…Mr. Cahill’s book [is] a gift.

    The New York Times

    Praise for Desire of the Everlasting Hills

    Compelling—powerful—. Cahill is a convivial storyteller.

    Portland Oregonian

    Cahill constructs his stories as occassions for celebration…He seeks to encourage a sense of appreciation for the gifts offered the present from the past…Each of his books offers moments of genuine insight into the workings of culture, literature, and the human heart.

    A deft march through time and through theology in the making—. [Cahill’s] own gift-giving is his ability to climb inside the scholarship and enliven it.

    The Philadelphia Inquirer

    Engaging—. Cahill strips away the pious accretions of 2000 years so that a picture of Jesus as an actual human being emerges.

Several recent accidents involving tire blowouts on passenger buses have prompted the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to take a closer look at the potential cause of these incidents.  Passengers on these buses were seriously injured and there were numerous fatalities.

Preliminary investigations of these accidents found potential safety concerns related to double-deck buses that may overload tires outside the suggested weight limit.   Under specific circumstances buses utilizing the double-deck design may be susceptible to exceeding the tire weight limit when loaded with passengers and luggage at full capacity. A tire on a bus loaded beyond its weight rating, operated at highway speeds for a significant period of time, is more likely to overheat and fail,  potentially placing the safety of passengers and other motorists at risk.

These risks can be avoided by properly loading passengers and cargo, and increasing pressure in tires on the rear wheels.  Improper loading of passengers and cargo, and overloading tires are negligent, and passengers injured in these accidents should contact our law firm here to file a lawsuit against the bus company.

In response to these accidents and the investigation findings, FMCSA released a Motorcoach Safety Advisory Bulletin to raise awareness of this issue of overloading tires within the bus industry and urge companies to take action to prevent potential safety risks.

You Can Sue the Company if a Tire Failure Causes Injury and Wrongful Death

Bus passengers have a legal right to expect that their bus will be safe and well-maintained, and bus companies whose negligence causes personal injury and wrongful death should be held accountable.  Our mission is to prevent crashes, injuries and fatalities involving large trucks and buses by making wrongdoers pay for their reckless disregard for the safety of others.

The Motorcoach Safety Advisory Bulletin states that safe bus operators should have policies and procedures in place to monitor the loading of their vehicles, and take appropriate action (such as reducing passenger/cargo loads, distributing passengers throughout the bus, or increasing tire pressure) to ensure that they remain within the allowable tire weight rating and state vehicle weight limits.  FMCSA is working with state officials to increase enforcement of these important safety provisions of federal and state laws.

Eric Hageman is a lead attorney for our bus accident cases. He represents bus passengers and their families throughout the United States in personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits. To contact Eric or another bus tire blowout lawyer at our law firm, please call 1-888-377-8900 (toll free) or submit our free consultation form here. We are not paid unless you win.

England cutting back on IVF treatment - Boom in fertility tourism as the result

- Qunomedical launches IVF on their portfolio in UK - 93% of infertile couples consider going abroad for procedure - 65% of those cited the postcode lottery as their reason

LONDON - Sept. 22, 2017 - PRLog -- Qunomedical, a digital Health platform that provides patients with access and independent information on the world's best doctors and hospitals, today announces the launch of IVF on their treatment table in UK. The success and availability of IVF have raised the hopes of many infertile couples who have not been able to conceive. 2% of all babies in UK are IVF babies. Since 1978, 5.4 million babies have been born worldwide with the help of IVF.

The chance of a live birth with IVF is around 30% for the first cycle, increasing to 45% after two and 54% after three cycles. The costs for three cycles and the medication needed can range between £30,000 and £50,000 in the UK. British women suffering from restrictions and prices of the British health system are seeking help abroad to get the chance of having a baby. According to a study by Fertility Clinics Abroad 93% of couples undergoing fertility treatment or considering it, have thought about going abroad for procedure. High costs seem to be the determining factor, 68% saying they would consider treatment abroad because it is much cheaper. As for example, costs for IVF in Spain are around 50% cheaper compared to UK. Dr. Sophie Chung, doctor and founder of Qunomedical, knows the stories behind IVF: "One in six couples experience some form of infertility problem at least once during their reproductive lifetime. Through our multi-stage quality algorithm we carefully select the best IVF clinics and thereby give couples in UK an additional option."

Restrictions by English health services have recently prompted a boom in fertility tourism with increasing numbers of couples going to countries like Spain and Greece and exposing themselves to certain risks. 65% of the couples seeking help abroad cited the postcode lottery as their reason, while 50% believe that foreign clinics have higher success rates. According to the latest research, thirteen areas of England have introduced restrictions or even stopped providing IVF completely since the beginning of the year. Access to NHS fertility treatment varies across the country - the postcode determines not only the number of cycles you will receive but also the access criteria.

Traveling to a foreign country for IVF treatment may be a daunting prospect for many couples. Language barriers, lack of performance figures or independent information discourage couples to look into fertility treatment overseas. By offering IVF in their treatment portfolio, Qunomedical wants to support couples by providing information about different IVF regulations in countries like Spain, Greece or the Czech Republic and connecting them with the best clinics worldwide. Dr. Jon Aizpurua leads the medical team of IVF Spain, one of Qunomedical's partner clinic specialized in fertility and assisted reproduction: "The first step is always to do a consultation with one of our doctors, who after conversing with the couple and learning about their medical background, establishes a medical diagnosis and formulates a strategy adapted to the couple's needs."

Based on the strict quality standards for hospitals, only the best clinics are registered and constantly tested along the patient experience.

Edesix in Tech Track 100

Edesix, the Body Worn Cameras (BWC) company, has been named in The Sunday Times Hiscox Tech Track 100 for the fastest-growing private technology companies in the UK.

Edesix has entered at number 64 in the 18th annual Sunday Times Hiscox Tech Track 100 league table, which ranks Britain’s 100 private tech (TMT) companies with the fastest-growing sales over the last three years. It is compiled by Fast Track and published in The Sunday Times each September, with an awards dinner in November, and alumni dinners during the year.

Edesix reports new contracts with UK prisons, Scotrail and South Australian Police, and launches of several products, including the VideoTag Series its smallest most light-weight BWCs to date, the X-100 (head mounted) and X-200 (torso mounted) cameras and ONStream which integrates Edesix body worn cameras with CCTV video management systems. Edesix has also opened offices in the USA and the Middle East. Users of the firm’s body-worn include police officers, paramedics and bailiffs in countries as far afield as Peru and New Zealand.

Richie McBride, managing director of Edesix, pictured, said: “This is fantastic news for us and a great testament to all the hard work that has been put in over the last few years to grow the business both here in the UK and overseas. There have been huge developments in the body worn camera market in recent years, and we are determined to keep our place as market leader by continuing to innovate, listening to what customers want and keep moving into new target markets. We now have a presence in the USA, Middle East, Europe, Canada, and Australasia, and we will continue to expand in the coming years.”

NANO Price Forecast: NANO Coin Leaves Rival Litecoin’s Charlie Lee Impressed?

nanoWhy NANO Cryptocurrency Price is Soaring

While the broader crypto market moves sideways, cryptocurrency NANO remains on a tear. The bull is now in the seventh day of its run chasing NANO’s bygone all-time highs. Mind you, days are equivalent to months in this industry, where prices move at Usain Bolt speed. So NANO may have achieved a feat after having traded in the green for a week. This week in particular, Charlie Lee’s favorable remarks may have added a nitrous oxide boost to NANO coin prices (more on that shortly).

As obvious from NANO’s trading volumes, there’s a amplified investor interest in NANO cryptocurrency that’s never been seen before. Trading volumes hit an all-time high this past week and are holding strong since then.

Might I remind you that volume is a good barometer of demand. Read it alongside price and you get an idea of where investor sentiment may be headed next. Looking at NANO’s daily trading volume, the excess in demand is apparent. Investors are hoarding NANO coins with both hands and there’s a good reason why.

Just in case you haven’t heard of NANO before, this cryptocurrency is not new. Nano, which currently trades as NANO, was rebranded last month by dropping its old name and symbol. It was formerly known as Raiblocks and traded as “XRB.” The rebranding was undertaken to make the crypto more appealing to investors. Apparently, “Raiblocks” did not have a catchy ring to it.

But the new name alone is not what’s attracting new investors. It’s NANO’s technology that has the market going ga-ga. We identified last week why NANO is turning heads.

nano price chart

Chart courtesy of

NANO is a direct competitor of Bitcoin and threatens to dethrone it with its unique “block lattice” technology that rivals Bitcoin’s blockchain technology.

NANO’s block lattice technology does not require mining, as Bitcoin’s blockchain does. Simply put, the block lattice validates transactions from within. Since there are no miners to be rewarded for validating transactions, there are no fees to be paid and virtually no wait times.

In other words, NANO solves two of Bitcoin’s biggest problems: lack of scalability and high transaction fees.

On a cursory look, NANO sounds like the ultimate Bitcoin killer. But wait; let’s confess that our understanding of technical crypto jargon is limited. So it’s safe to turn to a crypto veteran who put this tech to a figurative test. And, as it turns out, he left mostly convinced.

The founder of Litecoin (a leading cryptocurrency which rivals Nano), Charlie Lee, took to NANO’s subreddit this week to face off NANO’s developers. Lee posed some hard-hitting questions on the viability of NANO’s technology. It was surprising that he received satisfying answers to most of his questions. Lee left the thread on a positive note and, as obvious from NANO’s price surge, so did prospective investors.

“I like what I see so far. Dev team with their heads screwed on straight. Good visions of doing transfer of value only and doing it right,” he said. “Still not sure how it can achieve it without tradeoffs. But so far, I don’t see any glaring holes in the approach.” (Source: “Questions about Nano (from Charlie Lee),” Reddit, February 26, 2018.)

Analyst’s Take

Fifteen hundred and twenty-three. That’s the number of cryptocurrencies trading out there. What are the odds that all of them are will turn out to be million-dollar jackpots as their investors are expecting? You need not be a genius to figure that one out.

However, we don’t often see revered veterans giving a thumbs up to their rival technologies. If Charlie Lee did it for NANO, we may take his word on it.

This is certainly one cryptocurrency investors need to be keeping close tabs on. If NANO presents a solid real-world use-case this year, we expect the NANO coin price to shoot straight for the moon.

To sum it up, our NANO price forecast is conditionally bullish.

Project Playback Jazz Combo

Live Music And Entertainment

The Project Playback Jazz Combo is what brought the three Co-Founders of Project Playback together. We started performing together in 7th Grade and spent the mornings before school rehearsing new music in the band room. Our group was originally known as AM Jam, because many of our fellow students would walk by in the mornings and hear us practicing through the band room door. We came together in 8th Grade to create Project Playback, but still wanted to stay true to what brought us together in the first place. Now, five years later, we continue to perform together at various functions throughout the Kennebunk area, at RSU 21 School Functions, community events, and fundraisers.

MSSF horizontal

The laboratory operates two 2 m horizontal axis parabolas,, part of the eleven Medium Size Solar Furnaces (MSSF).

These parabolas offer great flexibility and great capability to easily host different projects. Their reasonable size, standard equipment and very high performance is tailored for effective innovative processes and material tests with numerous unknown and thus numerous fast needed adaptations.

These concentrators offer about 1.5 kW of thermal power at the focus. The power density is the highest offered by existing solar furnaces: it reaches 16000 kW/m2 at its focus, with a focus diameter about 1.5 cm wide, allowing temperature in excess of 3800 K - in fact so far no known material withstands these flux under thermal equilibrium without melting... Operation out of focus for greater size and lower power density is easy and accurate thanks to the Z-positioning system.

Each concentrator is indeed fitted with:

  • X-Y-Z-axis positioning support with high precision: on one parabola, the X and Z axis are motorized and computer controllable.
  • water circuit for example for cooling
  • compressed air for cooling or actuators
  • easy access for using high level instrumentation: DAQ, pyrometry, imaging systems, spectrometer...

Two kind of shutters are available to regulate the incoming power from the heliostat:

  • a simple shutter with two sliding doors.
  • a shutter with motorized blades.

The shutters are installed on rails to allow their use on any parabola or their storage.

Really enjoyed working with Dena. We had a very smooth purchase process that was very professionally managed by Dena. Very happy to recommend her to others. P. Copeland
"We were in the market for a secondary home for our daughters, as they will both be attending CU Boulder in the Fall. So we decided to look in the “hot” Boulder market. Dena helped us tremendously in navigating this market, the intricacies of it, and the nuisances that come with being a buyer in a hot market. She was patient and provided lots of guidance, recommendation, and honest feedback. It was obvious to us pretty early in our relationship with Dena that she was not just trying to make a quick buck, but that she genuinely wanted to assist us in finding the most suitable location for us, and for our girls. A couple of weeks after starting our search, Dena and Shelby (her assistant) helped us find the most suitable place for our needs, price, and taste. We closed last Friday, and couldn’t be any happier with our decision. Thanks, Dena and Shelby for your assistance." R. Melendez
"In accordance with selling my parents home, Dena Schlutz and her team are as follows: professional in action and appearance, expedient, courteous, cordial (they made me feel comfortable with what I normally am not expert in), highly knowledgeable (everything that Ms. Schlutz told me would happen did happen and in the frame of time that she speculated), prompt, honest to her word, thorough, considerate of and reactionary to my concerns. Dena Schlutz and her team gave me my monies worth and more." T. Schweitzer

Caribbean tourist body to undertake review of its PR

The Caribbean Tourism Organisation is reviewing its PR work for the first time in nine years.

CTO deputy director of marketing for UK and Europe Jo Spalburg, who heads the London office, said the move had been triggered simply by the lack of any previous review.

'Most companies have reviews every now and then. This review is nothing special,' he said.

The account has been held by BGB & Associates throughout that time and Spalburg believes a review is 'well overdue'.

He said the relationship between the CTO and BGB had 'had its ups and downs', although he declined to elaborate.

Spalburg said more than ten PR firms - both travel specialists and generalist firms - had indicated an interest in the brief.

BGB is in the running and Spalburg insisted the agency had as much chance as any other of securing a new contract, which will run from 1 January 2003.

BGB runs the CTO's press office and undertakes proactive media relations work.

Set up in 1989, the CTO aims to promote the diversity of the Caribbean region.

The organisation represents 33 countries, including French, English, Spanish and Dutch-speaking islands. Its membership is also drawn from tour operators and small hoteliers and hotel chains.

The CTO rebranded all advertising and press materials with the strapline 'Caribbean - Everything You Want It To Be', at the start of this year.

Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks

Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks Details

Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks

Duck raising is simplified with Dave Holderead's Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks. This is the new edition of the best selling classic on duck breeds, their care, and health. Compared to the last edition, the author brings you an expanded coverage of more duck breeds, a preview on incubation, and a revised and expanded guide to the colors and genetics of ducks. With up to date information on treatment of ailments and prevention, guidelines on showing, and tips on conserving rare breeds, this book is a must for the duck owner.

Holderead starts his book with the "Why ducks?" question. He proves to the reader why ducks are useful, their attributes, and value. The first chapter is an overview on how amazing the duck is, with its comparison amongst chickens. Their productivity is discussed as well as their many uses. Chapter two discusses the anatomy and behavior.

Choosing the right duck is important, as their are many breeds, each with their own attributes. The author discusses how to pick the perfect breed based on the owner's purpose, location, and preference. Chapter three shows all you need to know when choosing your breed. Chapters four, five, six, and seven, discuss the bantam, light weight breeds, medium weight breeds, and lastly the heavyweight breeds of ducks. Within these chapters you will learn about each breed of duck within the categories, selecting breeders, and showing.

Like chickens, there are rare breeds of ducks, therefore it is essential to know the importance of preserving rare breeds. Chapter eight discusses how this can be done and the significance of preventing the birds from going extinct. Chapter nine is all about hybrid ducks, their purpose and how it is achieved. The author discusses genetics to explain hybrids. Chapter ten coincides with the previous one explaining duck colors and understanding how color is achieved using simple genetics. Chapter 11 shows you how you can acquire your stock, with tips and tricks on what to look for.

Hatching duck eggs can be done with natural and artificial incubation. Holderead discusses the excitement of hatching eggs in chapter twelve. He provides the process, incubator troubleshooting, and the benefits of hatching duck eggs in this chapter.

Nutrition is important for the health of your duck flock. You want to make sure you are feeding your ducks properly from the start to avoid nutritional deficiencies in the future. Holderead helps you understand the feed and nutritional value in Chapter 15.

Many duck breeds are dual purpose for meat and eggs. Chapter 16 explains the butchering process. Health is a major element for ducks. If not cared for properly the ducks may become sick or injured. Chapter 17 discusses health, with explanations on various duck injuries, and information on diseases, their treatment, and prevention.

Many people show ducks and the next chapter helps you in preparing your duck for a show and its requirements. With appendices of mixing feed rations, symptoms of deficiencies and how to protect your flock from predators, along with duck recipes, this book has everything covered for everyone!

Professor Barbara Taylor

Professor of Humanities

I came to Queen Mary in 2012 to take up a joint professorship in the Schools of History, and English & Drama. My previous post, which I had held since 1993, was in History at the University of East London.  I have also held visiting professors at the universities of Amsterdam, Indiana, Notre Dame, and the École des hautes études en sciences sociales. I am the QMUL Director of the Raphael Samuel History Centre (a partnership between Queen Mary UL, Birkbeck College UL, the University of East London, and Bishopsgate Institute).

Research Interests:

I am an intellectual and cultural historian with a special interest in the subjective dimension of historical change. My early research focused on feminist theory and history: I have published two well-known books on early British feminism, and in the late 1990s I ran a Leverhulme-funded international research project on feminism and Enlightenment. I am the co-convenor of a long-standing seminar at the Institute of Historical Research (link is external) on ‘Psychoanalysis and History’, and have written a personal history of mental health care in the late twentieth century. I am currently researching attitudes to solitude in Enlightenment Britain.

Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) to Support Medical Product Labeling Claims

Statistical Consultancy Team

With encouragement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), using Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) data to claim labeling became more and more popular. Well-defined and reliable PRO can be used to support a claim in medical product labeling. [1] It is found that there are an increasing number of regulatory submissions for new drugs to provide PRO data to support claims. DeMuro et al. (2013) [2] have reviewed drug approvals by both FDA and EMA for the years 2006–2010. They found that out of 75 drugs approved by the EMA, 35 (47%) had at least one PRO related claim approved by the EMA compared to 14 (19%) for the FDA.

Quartz Master Announces The Mineral Collection

Bayonne, New Jersey – Quartz Master, the leading surface manufacturer in the US, is excited to announce the addition of its seventh collection – The Mineral Collection.

Inspired by nature and made from gemstones, The Mineral Collection features 12  exquisite designs, hand-crafted and molded together from semi-precious stones to form unique pieces that are made to lite up any room.

The naturally vivid colors of the stones are further enhanced when lit up with an external light source.

The bold designs of The Mineral Collection, combined with the stone’s natural resistance to stains, heat and chemical damage, make the surfaces ideal for feature use on kitchen islands and splashbacks.

It also creates a stunning look on bathroom vanities and shower floors.  Small furniture pieces such as coffee table tops can become striking furniture pieces when utilizing The Mineral Collection’s translucent, light-up quality.

“We are known for seeking and developing cutting edge technology and materials to create designs that are innovative, inspiring and beautiful.  The Mineral Collection is no exception,” says Acher Cohen, Quartz Master President, and lead designer.

Colors & Designs that Ignite the Imagination

The dark gray brush strokes and off-white veins that run through the regal purple color of the Amethyst design ignites this simple kitchen.

Blue Agate Classic

                                                                                Blue Agate Classic

Fresh, natural light reflects off the finely polished surface of the Blue Agate design.  The harmonious color rings create an earthy depth, reminding one of the ancient nature of these semi-precious stones.

Crystal Quartz

Crystal Quartz

In this kitchen, the Crystal Quartz countertop and backsplash creates an effervescence feel and repeats the cool undertones present in the wood.

Every uniquely manufactured piece is available in 120” x 56” slabs, each ¾ of an inch thick.  Other designs in the collection include Black Mother of Pearl, Black Agate Wild, Blue Agate Classic, Tigers Eye Gold, Amethyst, Brown Agate, Crystal Agate Classic, Crystal Quartz, Gray Agate, Rose Quartz Light, Light Smokey Quartz and Smokey Quartz Light with Silver.

Quartz Master will be showcasing their Mineral Collection at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in NYC, next week, from May 21st to the 24th.
