My DVD says Quad instead of 5.1! That thing you do

Many
send me emails wondering why in the mix for DVD discs that I make 4 channels instead of 5.1
There goes the justification and I will use as a link to respond to write to me personally.

1st. The fact not put information in the LFE channel (the .1 of 5.1) does not mean that the audio is less serious than one that if you have information placed there. The LFE channel is for low frequency special effects (such as an explosion in a film). So, it makes no sense that this channel has information on a DVD of music. What's more, there is a major hazard and for that I will explain how the standard home computer has one at home. Suppose you use a stereo TV and a DVD. I have no 5.1 system, only the TV stereo or other speaker system 2. They know that the process makes the DVD to play a movie when it detects that no output 5.1? out mainly by the stereo that is ... Left out by the speaker Canal Front Left Rear Left + the + Central (3 dB attenuated) and the speaker out Front Right Rear Right + Der + Central (attenuated 3 dB).
What happened to the LFE? and the truth is that if you add is standardized or not to go for a stereo speaker. Since it is an aggregate of low-frequency effects is assumed that if you use a stereo, you do not have subwoofer and therefore, the downmix that makes the player decides to leave it out because you do not have to to listen. Makes sense. So everything you put in the LFE, it may disappear for some (and as I said is not standardized). And I do not want to risk that.

the 2nd . The bass that are automatically redirected to the subwoofer are each of the main channels. So, in the mix if you put the bass in the left channel (extravagance) and someone in your household has a very tiny Jwin, but with a subwoofer, the "brain" of Jwin is going to take to send the entire Sub what satellites can not reproduce (in this case severe low). Understood? In other words: no audio problems or differences by using or not using the LFE channel. And last, if any, as I did mixing do not use PC. are the same as me.

the 3rd . Why not put something in the center? Not really interested me the center. I do not add anything new to experience. However, the surrounds make the difference. So for me is the quadraphonic format.
While many people worry about having your system properly positioned, the most it has in any way. My experience of seeing
systems in the homes of friends (some musicians and industry people) is that at least the system is distributed to left and right of the TV. That is, the center does not always go the way (space, support, size etc). And the surrounds do not always go back. So imagine if I place the voice and the sd center and then consumers do not put the center in the middle ... where the balance ends up in my mix? If you put the surrounds later, things do not change much but if I change the center of place ... To solve this, some engineers put things that should go to the middle in the center and also to the sides (L & R). I am not convinced, I do not think a solution because eventually the problem can still plant and also agrga some phase problems.
I bet you that if you have a good mix Quad, do not notice the difference.

4th. Speaking of positions, I ask all that before sitting down to enjoy an album in 5.1, make a minimum calibration of your system. Is as follows:
attempt to place each component (sub inclusive) at the same distance from you (eg if you are sitting in your favorite chair watching TV, measure the distance from you to the speaker L and repeat it for R, Sub, the LS and RS (since they are the center too, for those who use it).
angles are shown in the picture above ... 30 ° each side of the front and 110 from the center to the surrounds.
If you follow this rule of thumb, will have a rather close to what the engineer heard in the study.
teams today do more automatic calibration including automatic equalization according to position and the acoustics of the place where the speakers.
If it helps them, terrific. But first the speakers move to the right place.

the 5th. I have a stereo TV ... I select language? Stereo Audio or USB 5.1? We hear differently.
stereo mixes usually are optimized for that format so I recommend the ST.
On the other hand, such mixtures may be different, sometimes might like the downmix of 5.1 more than the stereo. Matter of taste.

Enjoy the multichannel ... is good and is going to get better with the Blue Ray (without having to pass through the Dolby compressing the audio data at 10 %!!!)

entangled again with the fear ...

Jericho Pilar, author of "No fear. In business and in life" (2008) gives us an interesting book, thoughtful and courageous, brave especially since it addresses a rare issue in "business conversations": fear. Fear of eviction, fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of loss of power and, above all, fear of change. But all his speech, his words and his approach are essentially male: fears focus on others and the relationship the person in public, speaking in the masculine, male and gives examples quoted historical distinguished male, if I pulled are 110 citations of which only 3-and I have not discounted, what a shame! - put words to Voices women. One is Pilar Gómez Acebo (Vice-President of the English Confederation of Directors and Executives), who also signed the foreword of the book where we push the value of "trust" as one of the keys to future success. Pilar

Jericho is not the first that addresses this issue, and so did Carmen García Ribas "I have fear, charisma and leadership through the management of fear" (2003) and "Maripili syndrome. The fear of women not to be loved" (2006). In this second book focuses on one of the quintessential women's fears: the fear of not being loved (based on centuries of assigning roles where women we have to be through the other). According to Carmen García women have fear of not being loved, while men tend not to be somebody. His speech refers to all women somo "maripilis" all have that fear of not receiving love and why we use rituals of submission. But no judge this deterministic approach I prefer your choice option: the alternative to be Maripili is to be strategic, to know oneself and be aware of what is our situation in every moment of life to choose teva our best way.

So following the practice of Jericho Pilar quoted, but this time giving female voice, I prefer the words of these three women:

"The alternative is to be Maripili yourself permission to be yourself" Carmen García
"The best of each (one) is always born in what he does grow to (the) other, if not the very successful" Pilar Gómez
"The future belongs to those who are capable of love, whether it is a company as a person, provided that dares to break the rules of the game and grow on itself (a) "Pilar Jericho. And

an image inspired a thousand words, treat yourself to this video: "to fear ... just move on"

Bebe is a woman who shows authenticity and intensity, music is clear and straightforward, connects with what worries me, so that concerns me with what I think and what I feel. Many of his songs I get goosebumps.

I chose one of their songs because it is authentic and intense as she and, incidentally, his brilliant video

And choose for all women who feel strange to themselves at some point, they are not recognized in many of the stereotypes assigned to us weak, feel strong and powerful masters of themselves , owners of their present and future. But also to those who believe they can not, they should not, that is not also feel this way ...

How To Neutralize Red Hilights Into Gold Hilights



The past 18 and 19 February I attended the 1st Hispanic Congress of Women Entrepreneurs in Africa Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Overall it was interesting, but little business and too institutional for my initial expectations and those of some fellow entrepreneurs.

The "corridors" are always the juiciest part of the meetings and they got to meet interesting women: a Montserrat (without knowing who is at fault here writing and sharing), Carmen and Astrid ( that move with wonder and determination and open international markets to women around the world), Amaia (a moderator sensitive and humorous) and Teresa (who reminded us that "women are all Southern northwind").

The two gems that I took of the meeting were two experiences showed Ferran Guallar, Banesto Cultural Foundation, and Zoubida Charrouf, University of Rabat. Both Zoubida Ferran as we presented two draft economic empowerment of women are very interesting. The first outlined the inicitiva "Responsible Tourism and Sustainable Development in Africa" \u200b\u200b of new creation, a well-planned and developed the idea of \u200b\u200bpromoting alternative tourism routes encouraging African women who run establishments and their role in community development and natural environment.

The second project presented a long history of promoting cooperatives of women for exploitation of argan oil Morocco
initiative has had a phenomenal reception in European markets, which has contributed to the promotion of a traditional work done by women, which made them protagonists of their livelihood and has contrbuido to the regeneration of vegetation southern Morocco. A feast for the senses. Here are videos on youtube of argan oil production and project.

entangled and pump again, wasted talent

When business organizations are beginning to doubt, is that reality is here.

"The loss of female talent in Catalunya costs one billion a year" 24/01/2008

Aintzane Gastesi,
The Country

"The Barcelona Chamber of Commerce has been measured for the first time this wastage of female talent in a study that estimated the cost of female labor discrimination. The Chamber also announced the creation of an observatory on women managers.

A woman prepared, highly educated or middle-level or park leaving to devote her career to care for their children or attend family matters is a huge waste of talent. For her, of course, but also for the rest of society. The Barcelona Chamber of Commerce has been measured for the first time this wastage of female talent in a study that concluded that the marginalization of women trained labor costs one billion euros annually in Catalonia.

This figure is obtained by multiplying the difference between women and men with higher education inactive, 32,595 people in 2006, the average salary of a directive or a qualified professional, which amounted to 29,982 euros. The exact cost of the operation is 977 million euros, 0.5% of Catalan GDP in 2006. The waste of skilled human capital of these women throughout their lives amounted to 12.152 million euros, amounting to 6.2% of Catalan GDP.

The picture portrays the study, prepared by the Foundation Cirem with results of a survey of more than 4,000 enterprises, women are better educated than ever and still have a smaller presence in senior positions. In Catalonia account for 34% of these positions in the public sphere and private, while being 31% of the business. This inequality must be added the wage gap. According to the latest annual survey of wage structure (December 2006), in Catalonia for women in management positions are paid less than half the men in the same category.

According Miquel Valls, President of the Chamber of Commerce, "the female talent is necessary and essential if we develop a knowledge economy." In this situation, the Chamber has developed a series of proposals to remedy the inequalities that affect many women prepared to leave the labor market prematurely. On the one hand, measures of conciliation as schedules and more flexible child care. Furthermore, the Administration will help the SMEs to implement the measures contained in the Equality Act. Valls also announced that the Chamber shall continuously monitor the issue through the creation of the Observatory of Women Managers in Business. "

Five Days" More will be less, but occupy more management positions and seats on boards of directors. Something is changing. And for the better. This week, Telefónica has appointed an independent adviser to the current head of Merrill Lynch's private banking for Europe, Middle East and Africa, Eva Castillo. This is a small gesture, because in Spain the number of counselors in the highest organs of government enterprises is low at 4%, 3.64%, a ridiculous figure compared with 25% of counselors who are in Sweden. If anyone is comforting, in Italy the percentage is 2%.

However, there is another alarming fact: the expansion of Native women in the labor market will slow in the next 15 years. The explosion of experienced labor supply since 1977, which represented the contribution of three-fourths of the total increase in the native range, with a total of 4.4 million new women into the labor market comes to an end. The Manpower Employment Index indicates that between now and 2023, only incorporated into the labor market about 300,000 new native 16 to 64 years. "We expect a stagnation of the integration of native women in the labor market, and that's going to cause problems, as long as the activity rate grows. All this comes with the aging population, so immigration will be an objective need of the market work, "says Josep Oliver, Professor of Applied Economics at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and coordinator of that study.

As for the boards of directors, says the consultant Pilar Gómez Acebo, are not managed by a company, but which ensures that the company is well managed. What has been, and there are great changes in recent years. It's something that stands out Sarduska Romana, member and secretary general of the board of Uria Menendez: "I have seen dramatic and surprising changes in my career. And the tendency is to believe that progress is inevitable, and that's something I've seen in the treatment of women particularly in equal opportunities, but my optimism may be mitigated, "he says.

Sarduska participated this week in a session on the contribution of women to the councils and the benefits of balancing the presence of women, held at the Madrid headquarters of ESADE. In his opinion, still exists in this area a huge area of \u200b\u200bimprovement. 'The figures in boards in Europe are worse than in the U.S., where there is also greater pressure from the judiciary. " Counsel maintains that, as a member of the board of Uria Menendez, has ceased to be a counselor because there is a limitation on the number of its members, 'and we are encouraging the entry of younger counselors. " Sarduska Romana was the first member and advisor of the firm, 'but in 11 years we have bred a new generation and will soon have more members. "

One of the brake blocks access of women to the councils is precisely the lack of women in management positions, partly due to reconciliation problems with the executive. To get a council must pass through to a senior management position, and today, many professionals are on the road. In Uria Menendez, according Sarduska is anticipated. 'For some time, most arriving in the office were students of law, and proposed that we could not wasting that talent and let women choose other careers or can not balance your life. " 11 years ago, decided to create a flexible plan, "an exercise in common sense that women entering the labor market with excellent training, and is essential to continue a career. It was a measure of good business sense and corporate responsibility. " What is needed now is to pave the way for women to, equal, opt for a position of great responsibility. 30,000 euros


wage gap with men by managers in public administration and in companies with more than ten employees gained, on average, 61,624 annual gross euros in 2006 in Catalonia, reports Rosario Correro. The study by the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce (with data from the progress of the Wage Structure Survey published in December).

Women with the same professional category gained less than half, 30,012 euros. According to the report, the reason for the difference is that many women choose to leave the labor market or reduce their commitment for long periods of time, "making it more difficult to acquire specific human capital or the accumulation of years of experience in positions of responsibility '. The study includes a survey of 4,268 Catalan firms in that 68% recognized that the economic treatment of women is lower than men on the same level of responsibility. The percentage of companies that recognizes the discrimination is 81%. New capabilities



60% of women finished his studies compared with 40% of men. Moreover, the joint boards promote understanding of the complexities of the environment and better strategic planning, as well as providing a more participative leadership as Pilar Gómez Acebo. "

maybe female talent is wasted?

Interesting article on the business performance of investing in female talent.

"Companies with more guidelines have better outcomes" 21/02/2008

Carmen Morán, El Pais


"According to a study of the 500 largest companies in return on equity the difference between companies with more women in higher positions compared to those who have less is 53%.

Companies with more women in leadership positions have better economic performance in general. In return on equity (ROE, in acronym) the difference between companies with more women in higher positions compared to those who have less is 53%. If analyze sales profits, the gap narrows to 42% and on return on invested capital that distinguishes the figure from each other rises to 66%. The study has made the American organization Catalyst on the 500 largest companies in the world.

These results can not be explained by the presence of women. Would then be sufficient to change the composition of all companies and economic results would be overwhelming. It's a matter of recovering the talent that is out when policies are excluded, their thinking, organizing, directing your model. Ie adding talent. This was explained yesterday in Madrid is responsible for Catalyst in Europe, Eleanor Tabi Haller-Jorden, who participated in a conference on quality of life and business competitiveness Alares organized by the Foundation. Tabi

added another ingredient to be added to the presence of women: a leader who is blind faith, he said, this is the right policy. "Talent is not associated with either sex and if there are problems in recruiting talent is lost in productivity," he said. "36% of people in employment is broken by the head going," he added.

"So, employers already have the economic data, therefore, must integrate women not as a matter of ethics or aesthetics, but to act intelligently" said.

Tabi said to change the exclusionary conduct of business towards women needed legislation, incentives and sanctions, but also needs a culture change. In the Nordic countries have shown that despite their joint success, stereotypes about the qualities that the men and women to run companies are wrong and have not changed. "We watch very closely what is happening in Spain with equality laws and in the Nordic countries", he said, but warned that not enough that the number of women is higher, is also required, quality of life the company. Copy delivered blind male models to work exclusively does not work, he continued. "I was in a U.S. company with many women and congratulated them for that. I did see that those who worked there had no personal life outside the office, or partner or children ... That is not the issue," added the charge in Europe of Catalyst, a nonprofit organization that works with over 350 multinational companies and plans to expand its business in southern Europe. Tabi

further explained that the threshold for the talents of women are properly conducted in three. Less than those on a board is not effective. "Entrepreneurs are pushing the so-called phenomenon the daughter, when they have a daughter who has had problems with his job thinking about what they are doing in their company. "
