Biography
Jon Gooch obtained the name Spor after an authentication of particular IP identities. After a successful partnership with Renegade Hardware and Barcode Recordings, and releases with Teebee's Subtitles Recordings, in 2006, Spor and long-term friend Chris Renegade launched Lifted Music and signed music from producers such as Apex, Evol Intent, Ewun and Phace.
On 24 February 2010, Spor released his second double EP, Conquerors and Commoners, on the Lifted Music label. In an interview with K Magazine, he said the title was inspired by a quote by Harlan Ellison. The album was well received by drum and bass fans, with two of the tracks from the album ("Halogen" and "Kingdom") being played on Andy C's Nightlife 5 mix CD. Spor has since then been playing his music at clubs across the world under the Lifted Music guise. Gooch was also involved in a second side project called "Seventh Stitch", which produced alternative IDM. Under this alias, he worked with another artist named Andrew Aker on a track entitled "Oceans".
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.
Mindset (album)
Mindset is the sixteenth album by Australian improvised music trio The Necks first released on the Fish of Milk label in 2011 in Australia and on the ReR label internationally.
Their first album to be released on vinyl, Mindset consists of two contrasting pieces titled "Rum Jungle" and "Daylights", the former propulsive and jangling and the latter more ambient in nature.
