Endo (band)

Endo was a four-piece rock music group from Miami, Florida. The band formed in 1995, released two major record label albums in 2001 and 2003, and worked on songs for a third before disbanding in 2007. In 2012, the band got back together with Gil, Eli and Joel, with their new bass player, Derek Gormley. Recording on their new album began early in 2013 with B-Team Records in Miami, FL. The album was released in July of 2013.

History

The band was formed in 1995 by Gil Bitton and bassist Zelick. In 1996 drummer Joel Suarez joined the group, followed by Eli Parker. New York-based company, "Concrete Management" (Pantera, Ministry, Anthrax), signed the band in the late 90's, where they opened for such bands as the Foo Fighters, Static-X, and Megadeth. They were later signed to DV8/Columbia Records, and released two major albums.

Their first major album Evolve was released in 2001, and featured more of a rap-metal and nu metal sound. The band released a follow up album, Songs for the Restless in 2003, but the band featured more of a post grunge, straight rock sound, without rapping. They played at the Ozzfest Tour in 2003 in support of the album and opened for bands such as Korn, Chevelle and Marilyn Manson.

Highsider

A highsider or highside is a type of motorcycle accident characterized by sudden and violent rotation of the bike around its long axis. This generally happens when the rear wheel loses traction, skids, and then suddenly regains traction, creating a large torque which flips the rider head first off the side of the motorcycle or over the handlebars.

The initial traction loss may be caused by:

locking the rear wheel through excessive braking

applying too much throttle when exiting a corner

oversteering the bike into the turn by shifting weight to the front wheel and using balance to drift the rear wheel sideways

exceeding the lateral grip through too much speed (although, this is more likely to result in a lowsider), or too much lean

an unexpected change in the surface friction (water, oil, dust, gravel, etc.)

reducing the friction on the rear tire by scraping the bodywork of the motorcycle on the road surface

Highsides differ from lowsides as follows: during a lowside the rear wheel slips laterally and continuously until the bike falls onto its side (the side that's inside the corner), while during a highside the rear wheel slips laterally only briefly before suddenly regaining traction and flipping the bike onto its other side (the side that's outside the corner, and therefore the higher side of the motorbike). As a result, highsides happen very quickly with little, if any, warning and are very violent.

Mindset

In decision theory and general systems theory, a mindset is a set of assumptions, methods, or notations held by one or more people or groups of people that is so established that it creates a powerful incentive within these people or groups to continue to adopt or accept prior behaviors, choices, or tools . This phenomenon is also sometimes described as mental inertia, "groupthink", or a "paradigm", and it is often difficult to counteract its effects upon analysis and decision making processes.

A mindset can also be seen as incident of a person's Weltanschauung or philosophy of life. For example there has been quite some interest in the typical mindset of an entrepreneur.

Mindsets in politics

A well-known example is the "Cold War mindset" prevalent in both the U.S. and USSR, which included absolute trust in two-player game theory, in the integrity of command chain, in control of nuclear materials, and in the mutual assured destruction of both in the case of war. Although most consider that this mindset usefully served to prevent an attack by either country, the assumptions underlying deterrence theory have made assessments of the efficacy of the Cold War mindset a matter of some controversy.

Mindset (computer)

The Mindset, released in spring 1984, was a personal computer designed specifically to run Microsoft Windows. It was, in effect, a color Wintel equivalent to the B&W Macintosh computer that had shipped earlier that year. In order to run Windows with reasonable performance, it had excellent graphics support, comparable to contemporary graphics workstations. The basic unit was priced at US$1,798 (equivalent to $4,095 in 2016).

Like the Macintosh, it lacked a conventional fixed-cell (DOS-like) text mode, and the display was entirely graphical. Continued delays in the release of Windows 1.0 meant the machine reached the market before the operating system it was supposed to run. To fill the gap, a software based text mode driver was added to the system, implemented with technical help from Microsoft. But the performance in text programs was never equal to the PCs that implemented this in hardware, and it was only partially compatible with DOS programs. This meant the Mindset was slower at running existing software, if it ran it at all.
