rWotD Episode 2556: Peter "Mars" Cowling Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.The random article for Friday, 3 May 2024 is Peter "Mars" Cowling.Peter "Mars" Cowling (May 26, 1946 – March 20, 2018) was an English bass guitarist, best known for his work with Canadian blues rock guitarist Pat Travers.Cowling for many years lived in Grimsby where, in 1962, he formed The Syndicate with Steve Mills on vocals, Frank Singleton on lead guitar, Doug Hollingworth rhythm guitar, Geoff Smith on piano, and John Smith on drums. This band played covers of tracks by Elmore James, Ray Charles, Rufus Thomas, Bobby Troup, and John Lee Hooker. After that, Cowling played in British groups including Gnidrolog and the Flying Hat Band, before joining forces with Pat Travers in 1975.Cowling recorded eight albums for Travers from 1976 to 1982. He left Travers that year and later in the 1980s joined sisters Pam and Paula Mattioli in US AOR band Gypsy Queen (later to become Cell Mates in the early 1990s after Cowling's time in the band), appearing at the 1987 Reading Rock Festival and on Gypsy Queen's debut album before leaving the band later the same year. He rejoined Travers in 1989, and remained until 1993. He performed on Travers' singles "Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)" and "Snortin' Whiskey". Cowling was also featured on two video releases. The first was Hooked On Music, a live performance originally shot for the German television programme, Rockpalast in 1976, which showcased an early line-up that also included Nicko McBrain. Cowling's other video appearance was Boom Boom-Live At The Diamond Club, a 1991 concert filmed in Toronto, that also featured Jerry Riggs.Cowling died on March 20, 2018, after having been diagnosed in February with an aggressive form of Leukemia.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:24 UTC on Friday, 3 May 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Peter "Mars" Cowling on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Brian Neural.

One of the (many) disadvantages of being a musician of a certain age is that musical trends of yesteryear often return, like jury duty or inflation, and only serve to remind you how much you hated them the first time. OTOH, the whole Yacht Rock thing...we actually thought that music was pretty darn good, with or without irony. Hence today's selection, which marks not only our first voyage on the smooth seas of Yacht Rock, but our first attempt at an artist style parody. Capturing the vocal style of our chosen artist (if we have to say who, we've entirely failed) was the single factor preventing me from unleashing this years ago, because I knew it couldn't be done without the perfect voice. We are thrilled to feature vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Rick Cowling, whose own yacht-club pedigree with acts such as Kenny Loggins and Ambrosia stands above reproach. And Mrs. Cowling - actress/singer Sherry Hursey - was kind enough to help out on some high notes. Hope you enjoy the cruise! Rick Cowling - lead and background vocals, funky guitar, tambourine Sherry Hursey - background vocals Bob Emmet - keyboards, bass, rhythm stuff, and mixing (music and Mai Tais).

In this episode, a Southwest airlines B737 is departing from Denver when passengers and crew report a loud noise from something striking the wing. You will hear the pilot radio the tower to alert them of the potential situation as he investigates it further. It turns out an engine cowling has ripped off during take off, and is now hanging off onto the wing. The pilot then calmly arranges a return to Denver for an emergency landing.

A grab bag of unique questions come at Mike, Paul, and Colleen this month, including whether to buy new or overhaul, how prop stops work, what happens when you reduce from wide open throttle, and avoiding tiedowns. Submit your question to podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to be on the show. Full notes below: Dale has a Seneca and he's looking to the future and having to overhaul two engines. He's wondering how to decide between factory new, reman, or overhaul. Not surprisingly, they suggest flying your current engines as long as possible if they are treating you well. When the time comes that you have to change engines, Mike said his general rule is that if the engine has treated you well to consider a field overhaul. If there's a concern about the current engine, he said to consider a factory engine. More control over the process is another reason to do a field overhaul. Jim has a question about his L-3 with a Continental A65. He has an updated carburetor with a mixture control. A challenge with that engine is that you don't get an onset of roughness when leaning. It just tries to quit, and without an electrical system, an in-flight shutdown isn't ideal. He's worried that a big stumble is startling and he pushes it too far rich again, putting him in the red box. Mike said there's no need to go to roughness. You can lean only to the first indication of power reduction. Dubs has noticed that after leveling in cruise, when pulling the throttle back from wide open, it moves a significant amount before the manifold pressure changes. Yet in doing so he's reducing his fuel flow. He's wondering why this happens. Mike thinks it's possible Dubs has a carb with an enrichment circuit, which gives more fuel at wide open throttle, meaning fuel flow will come down as soon as throttle is reduced. The hosts discuss how Dubs' operating practice is how Cessna 182 pilots with 0-470 engines should operate to improve mixture distribution. The impact butterfly valves make is very non-linear, they say. The first 5 to 10 degrees of tilt won't make a big difference, for example. Phillip is a maintenance tech in a shop that adjusted the low pitch stop of a prop based on the recommendations of the prop shop. He's wondering why it was successful. Paul describes how a prop adjustment works, and why some airplanes don't make full rpm until they're down the runway a bit. Richard's Rotax ran rough on a run-up, and after some troubleshooting he still hasn't found the culprit. All winter it ran fine, but he's concerned it will happen again in warm weather. Since this happened on both magnetos it's likely not a spark plug. Colleen is wondering if the rpm range had an impact because the Bing carbs have three distinct operating ranges. If it happens again Colleen recommends isolating it and first checking the spark plugs, then maybe cleaning the carbs, and finally looking at the fuel delivery lines. Mike thinks it has to be a fuel system problem since it changes with temperature. Brennan has a nice Mooney M20J that he wants to continue to take good care of. He now lives in a very humid environment and can't find a hangar. He left the airplane in his old hangar and can barely get to the airplane to fly it. He's wondering what would be the least damaging practice—fly less or keep it outside. The hosts think it's better to get the airplane closer and fly it while doing his best to keep corrosion away with freshwater washes, corrosion treatments, and maybe covers.

There's a popular African proverb that says, "If you want to go fast - Go Alone. If you want to go far - Go Together." Many times visionaries want to go fast themselves, but they get frustrated when they don't know how to develop and empower a team to go with them. David Cowling of Sharper Process (SharperProcess.com) helps visionaries and businesses empower their work teams by building the right processes. David talks in depth about the importance of purpose and process to grow your work team into becoming leaders which will help you achieve your vision. There's great danger if you don't have clear purpose or process in your business. Without process, your team will fail in the long-run. David helps visionaries identify gaps in business process, and he helps business leaders learn how to implement process in a business.0:00 Intro2:37 To Achieve Your Vision, You Need a Good Team Which Requires a Process3:45 What happens when you don't have a process4:45 How to cast vision in a business - Authenticity & Purpose6:51 How to keep people engaged and focused to accomplish the vision - Measuring Success9:45 How to empower a work team - The Right Systems in Place11:33 How to build a process - The Definition of Process is What You Do12:45 Process Maps help you figure out how to fix problems much easier13:48 Mapping - How to empower your team and nurture them to become leaders15:30 Process is What you do, Procedure is How to do it, Policy is when to do it16:30 Systems and Process allow you to have good metrics which helps you accomplish goals17:36 Metrics allow you to see in good numbers whether someone does a good job or not without micro-managing18:57 How to Build Good Work Culture While Keeping Accountability - Resources with Training & Accountability with Wins22:34 How to Keep Motivated with Hope as a Visionary - Has to Go Back to Purpose25:47 How Visionaries Can Get Help to Clarify Their Process and Purpose28:58 If you don't build your process now, you'll lose money and create more problems in the futureINDY INVESTOR PODCAST IS BACK @IndyInvestor ====IRON DEEP: irondeep.comIron Deep is a men's mastermind community for those middle-aged successful business leaders seeking intimacy with God, deeper relationships, and who desire to leave a true legacy.

Adjustments Required - Keith Cowling - Sunday Evening, February 5, 2023 by First Baptist Church of Hammond

This episode is about Sam Cowling's "The Limits of Modality" published in the Philosophical Quarterly in 2011. Are all true propositions either contingent or necessary? Cowling argues that if we want to understand the metaphysics of modality in terms of possible worlds we should maintain that certain true propositions are neither contingent nor necessary but just true simpliciter. Is this conceptually coherent? Have a listen and make up your mind! Here's a link to the paper.Support the show

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: China Covid #4, published by Zvi on December 22, 2022 on LessWrong. China has now decided to let Covid take its course, so it makes sense to spin developments there off into their own posts for a bit. It is hard to get a good read on what is happening, because China's core strategy was to stop controlling the spread of Covid and instead to put tight controls on its Covid numbers. You can't do this while maintaining any credibility. China decided not to let that be a problem. Please Disregard the Following The official case numbers in China are now complete nonsense. Please disregard the following, except to note the need to disregard it after its peak: You have to love Reuters reporting ‘WHO says China may be struggling to keep a tally of Covid.' There is no ‘may' here, nor is there is a struggle. China is choosing not to keep a tally. Or at least, choosing not share it with the rest of us. If China wanted a count, they'd have a count. China's official seven day rolling average of deaths at the moment, according to OurWorldInData? One. Reuters has an article asking how accurate these numbers are, and the correct response is that it is a headline with a question and the answer is simply ‘no,' and elsewhere they estimate more than 5,000 deaths per day. Bloomberg agrees and also estimates over a million daily cases, saying this could get ‘even worse' and rise to 3.7 million cases per day in January. This is the usual ‘oh no exponential growth could get worse, we could have one or even two doublings ahead of us' style projection, and I'd be worried about numbers closer to 10 million per day, perhaps even somewhat higher. So how is China reporting one death? Other than ‘with a straight face'? They did that the same way they solved their reported infections problem. It's simple. They're redefining Covid deaths the same way they redefined cases. I interpret this as ‘we will look for any way we can to attribute your death to something else, regardless of whether you had Covid at the time.' Thus: Letting it Rip We went very quickly from Zero Covid to Let It Rip. China's public health officials say that possibly 800 million people could be infected with the coronavirus over the next few months. And several models predict that a half million people could die, possibly more. “Recently, the deputy director of China CDC, Xiaofeng Liang, who' s a good friend of mine, was announcing through the public media that the first COVID wave may, in fact, infect around 60% of the population,” says Xi Chen, who's a global health researcher at Yale University and an expert on China's health-care system. Scientists at the China National Health Commission estimate the R number is currently a whopping 16 in China durng this surge. “This is a really high level of transmissibility,” Cowling says. “That's why China couldn't keep their zero-COVID policy going. The virus is just too transmissible even for them.” Last winter, cases doubled in the U.S. every three days or so. “Now in China, the doubling time is like hours,” Cowling says. But Cowling thinks that ultimately China will still fare much better against COVID than America has. “China has done really well to hold back the virus for three years, and ultimately, I think, the mortality rate will still be much lower than elsewhere in the world,” he says, because the country has vaccinated such a high percentage of its population overall. In other words, the death toll will likely be high, given the sheer number of people infected, but it could have been much worse without the vaccinations, he explains. Almost no one's brain is capable of understanding what it means for infections to double every few hours, or to react rationally to that situation. I hope that their vaccine, combined with Omicron being milder, softens the blow. I am skeptical that i...

James Cowling is the co-founder of Convex, a state management platform for web developers.Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google PodcastsWe discuss the state of web development in the industry today, and the various different approaches to make it easier. Contrasting the Hasura and Convex approach as a good way to illustrate some of the ideas. Hasura lets you skip the web-app, and run queries against the database through GraphQL queries. Convex, on the other hand, helps you stop worrying about databases. No setup or scaling concerns. It’s interesting to see how various systems are evolving to help developers with reducing the busywork around more and more layers of the stack, and just focus on delivering business value instead.Convex also excels at the developer experience portion - they provide a deep integration with React, use hooks (just like Apollo GraphQL) and seem to have a fully typed (and therefore auto-completable) SDK. I expect more companies will move “up the stack” to provide deeper integrations with popular tools like React.Episode Reading ListThe co-founders of this company led Dropbox’s Magic Pocket project.Convex → NetlifyConvex vs. FirebasePrisma This is a public episode.
