For years the promise was too good to be true: You only needed to show up and train the way you felt that day and everything would work out in the end. Simply by listening to your body, you could adjust training according to how you felt and achieve positive results by some sort of mind-body connection. Auto-regulation, or cybernetic periodization, is making another round of interest because of velocity based training (VBT) and immediate feedback. Cybernetic periodization sounds cool, is cool, and if done right it works.
Norbert Wiener was probably the first real pioneer in taking the abstract idea of systems control theory and making it work in the real world. His pioneering 1948 book: Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine, was a major work pushing concepts that would show up in elite performance half a century later. Many principles he outlined in the book are hot trends in some high performance circles because they work now and will only improve in time. Cybernetics isn't going to grow slowly — expect an explosion in the next few years.
Wiener paved the way for engineering better athletes through feedback loops and other useful concepts for training, something that improves performance in both weight training programming and sports. Recently, Dr. Chris Morris, the applied sport scientist for all athletic teams at the University of Texas, quietly made an unappreciated advance in cybernetics by using physiological monitoring. He published a major theoretical model for fluid periodization that can be used for VBT and the weight room.
For a century sport science led the charge to help athletes with technology. Now the same technology is available at the consumer level. Bryan Mann took information from the sport science gods and like Prometheus, shared his findings with the rest of us in his book on velocity based training. While not limited to what speed zones can do for an athlete's strength and power, the target velocities gave value to how a lift could improve training, including the auto-regulation suggested by Mann. Adjusting a weight to hit a speed zone is easy; it's harder to create a series of workouts that lead to an end result months away. Auto-regulation is simply adjusting the workout when needed, and a flexible plan to adapt to the person is far better than trying to constantly adjust over and over again.
The full paradigm shift came into play with Mladen Jovanovic and Eamonn Flanagan's game-changing collaboration. When they published their landmark paper on estimating maximum abilities with the use of bar speed in 2014, the iron game made a rapid evolution forward. At this point I could get solid information of what an athlete could do at any specific point of time, not just from periodic testing maximally.
While jump training is valuable and I suggest it as part of the training process with my Raptor Test series, nothing is more direct than measuring what one is doing presently. Extrapolating what one could do with a different set of exercises has value but comes with limits, and early work sets provide a direct window of what is going on with the nervous system.
Using velocity bands to prescribe training load is a novel approach that is sensitive to day-to-day readiness fluctuations and changes in 1RM over longer training blocks. Together with velocity stops, utilizing velocity bands is a novel approach to strength training prescription that allows for auto-regulating and individualizing training volume and load.
While speed zones won't create monsters in the weight room, the sensitivity of peak velocity is perhaps the most pragmatic way to spot fatigue or errors in loading. So far, we have used speed zones as a way of giving more confidence when an athlete is fatiguing or is good to move up in load.
Weight training should be regarded as overcoming load with the right technique and effort. Mladen broke down the interaction of load, effort, and exertion and it is an excellent primer. When VBT tools come into play, things can become more complicated if one is not careful. To get started, master the basics of trying to execute the rep as best as possible, and adjust as needed.
Here is a simple example anyone can follow with nearly every primary training exercise. I took a soccer player with a 365-pound personal-best squat (below parallel) and over a year watched his rise and fall from fatigue and different seasonal training needs. Prescribing percentages months in advance in a beautiful periodization plan with every session mapped out isn't going to happen when a sprained ankle or cancelled plane flight may change reality. Simple variables like the athlete lifting fresh because of a cancelled practice or trying to get something in after two games in one week makes a theoretical rep percentage difficult to predict.
The solution is usually making things simple and flexible, by using very straightforward loading and exertion plans and letting the bar velocity drive a rough summary of effort. Just for the record, this approach is far from perfect and is the result of only one year of experimentation, but so far I have never seen better fitness and speed in soccer because every workout was the right one. The evolution of completing workouts to hit each training session nearly perfectly made me a believer in VBT for optimizing the training load.
This screenshot from the PUSH Portal isn't hard to interpret, even if you have never used the PUSH band. The flat pyramids show the load or weight, and the vertical bars are the peak velocities of the lift. Just a glimpse shows the load moving from 225 to 260 and how each rep varied in velocity. The key takeaway is that even a relatively strong athlete will perform slightly erratically from fatigue. Countless other variables interact with the outputs, such as the motivation by coaches and other athletes and live feedback of the PUSH data itself.
This second PUSH Portal screenshot has the same information athletes or coaches see live, so it's part of the auto-regulation process. Like a speedometer and fuel gauge, a quick glance keeps athletes from grinding and perhaps unnecessarily fatiguing their body's reserves. We use mean velocity, a simple estimation of concentric propulsion that gives a rough guideline of when enough is enough. Going slow and heavy isn't the bane of sports performance training but it comes with a cost to the body. Residual fatigue is part of the cost of doing business with the power lifts, so coaches and athletes have to decide when to hammer and when to back off.
Our current approach to training is deciding if the original daily plan makes sense based on monitoring (subjective and objective) and the session feedback of what people actually can do or are trying to do. Training data from earlier sessions and monitoring help decide what to do, and VBT gives athletes a direction in how to do it better. Basically athletes and coaches know when to throttle up or down the load based on effort and exertion.
Exporting workouts allows coaches to mine the data for small clues in how the athlete is performing in training, and can help anyone wanting to drill down to more detail about each rep. I care about finding subtle hints of how the mind and body are either cooperating or competing. The body and mind are like two dogs. The one fed more will end up being victorious, so it's important to share physical and mental resources. Examples of clues to athlete management are rest periods going longer than prescribed, a change in rep duration on the eccentric side, or atypical patterns of output for the athlete.
The table above is three columns of the exported .CSV file focusing on the concentric rep duration, eccentric rep duration and total rep time. The colors are used for illustrative purposes only.
Like most data, a time comes when exporting into Excel matters. I only do this when the core data isn't trending right and I need more information . Here are several reasons why exporting can help.
Data not visible in the PUSH app or PUSH Portal can be made accessible by downloading the raw data. This is important too for the estimated concentric and eccentric time periods within a repetition.
Individuals can export their user comments to summarize the biofeedback of reps by using a word cloud or best practices like sport psychology trend analysis.
Custom analysis outside conventional practices can be performed by using statistical packages or simple use of Excel or online spreadsheet options.
Combination metrics or scores can be made with one's body weight, limb lengths, or lean body mass to show the connection between athlete size and barbell performance.
Data from bar velocity tracked sessions helps see relationships to less direct windows of auto-regulation techniques such as heart rate variability and neurological readiness testing.
Advanced analysis with the data is about solving real problems, versus panning for gold that might not be there. When in doubt, keep an eye on simple metrics and longitudinal data that tend to reveal more than the tiny differences one typically finds when exporting the data.
Objective and subjective feedback and data can boost any program, so choose when you have all the necessary information to get better numbers that matter. Investing into a program that includes a full array of feedback options including VBT tools, physiological monitoring options, and subjective feedback will improve both the magnitude and consistency of results. You can obviously do more than just use bar tracking technology to improve the accuracy and precision of training, such as combining subjective data as well as other physiological monitoring options. The easiest and direct way is to evaluate what one is supposed to do with objective feedback of the training itself, and great progress can be made with any program using this approach.
I strongly suggest Biofeedback and Sport Science by J.H. Sandweiss and S.L. Wolf. The text was way ahead of the game and while first printed in 1985 remains a wonderful framework for modern technology. Many key timeless concepts can be gleaned from this work.

Obiano cries to FG over N48bn owed state as Fashola visits Anambra to inspect 2nd Niger Bridge
Ifeizu Send an email June 14, 2016
Anambra state governor, Chief Willie Obiano, yesterday said the federal government owed the state N48 billion spent on federal road projects in the state, saying it was the highest being owed to any state in Nigeria.
He also added that the minister of works, power and housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), will visit Anambra state next week to inspect the 2nd Niger Bridge for work to commence.
Speaking in Awka, during the first year anniversary ceremony of the Anambra state's 6th House of Assembly led by Rt. Hon. Rita Maduagwu as the speaker Obiano said such fund can help the state finish up projects in the state if paid.
The governor, who commended the lawmakers for a good working relationship with the executive and judiciary, said it would be criminal for the state to put money again this period in any federal project in the state.
He said apart from Anambra, three other states in the country were being owed some amounts of money being federal projects they did in their areas.
However, the governor declared that the Anambra lawmakers since they came on board, had not disappointed him, adding that they had worked together in the state without any impediment.
Anambra state speaker Hon. Rita Maduagwu in her address after the church service conducted at the Assembly complex in Awka by the catholic Bishop of Ahiara in Mbaise, Most Rev. Peter Okpalaeke, praised the lawmakers for their loyalty, support and dedication to duty.
"Our resolve to work harmoniously with the executive arm of the government is predicated upon the good governance of his Excellency, Chief Willie Obiano who is doing well in all sectors of the state economy"
"Governor Obiano has succeeded where many other governors had failed, he has so much uplifted the living conditions of Ndi Anambra and has also thrived in infrastructural development"
Maduagwu said Obiano attached more importance to the welfare of the citizenry, describing him as the "alert" governor.
In his homily during the service, Bishop Okpalaeke, said that God had given the three arms of government in Anambra the mandate to work for the state, the reason he said things were working well.
However, he said that despite the good works of the executive, the legislature and the judiciary, that enemies were still hovering around trying to destabilize the good working relationship existing among the arms, while calling for serious prayers to scatter such.
The cleric said in some of the states in the country, there had been problems between the three arms of government, adding that Anambra was not among such states, because of the wisdom of those involved.

There are many properties throughout the nation that are in foreclosure. This official discover is meant to make borrowers aware they're in danger of shedding all rights to the property and could also be evicted from the premises. Clearly, one of the best tip for avoiding foreclosure is to pay your month-to-month mortgage each month. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, the mortgagor or another celebration performing by authority from the mortgagor may redeem a property offered at a mortgage foreclosure sale.
Financial institution of America also provides loans particular to foreclosures along with mortgages for traditional properties. Completed Sales Disclaimer: Anoka County doesn't warrant the accuracy of the foreclosure data proven here. In the proceeding simply known as foreclosure (or, maybe, distinguished as "judicial foreclosure"), the lender must sue the defaulting borrower in state court.
As a result of the pool of buyers who can afford to pay money on the spot for a home is limited, many lenders make an settlement with the borrower (referred to as a " deed in lieu of foreclosure ") to take the property again. Discover to house owners in foreclosure: In case your property goes to foreclosure public sale sale and is purchased for greater than the whole owed to the lender and to all other lien holders, please contact the Public Trustee after the sale as you will have extra funds attributable to you.
A foreclosure is the legal course of where your mortgage firm obtains possession of your home (i.e., repossess the property). Should you aren't paying your bills you could be brought beneath a foreclosure and lose the property that you simply thought was yours. Some lenders do not provide mortgages for distressed properties, so you'll want to start by identifying those who do.
Property will often be listed on MLS; financial institution will pay real property agent's fee. In most conditions, insurance necessities guarantee that the lender gets again some pre-outlined proportion of the mortgage worth, both from foreclosure auction proceeds or from PMI or a combination of those. The discover includes a description of the property, the name of the borrower, and other data.

Rita Panahi - you can't have it both ways – deliberately killing babies is always wrong
Written by Dave Pellowe
One of the best & brightest conservative commentators, Rita Panahi, said something unusually absurd on Twitter – and that's saying something. Worse, leftist abortion-without-limits apologist Leah Torres called her on it, and she has a point.
Here's the conversation's context.
Past Pellowe Talk guest, Dr Ash Saleh challenged Dr Torres which scenario necessitated an abortion at 8 months gestation. Dr Torres claimed, "The medical scenario of 'I'm 8 months pregnant and my life is in danger if I continue this pregnancy.'" She also complained that the doctor described ending a living human's life as "killing" – evidence it's hard to win the Dumb Tweet of the Day award.
Rita Panahi then quoted Dr Torres' tweet and claimed, "I'm pro-choice but there's no justification for abortion at 8 months when the child could be born alive."
Dr Torres spotted the lack of logical consistency and observed, "Then you're not pro-choice."
Rita returned, "Like most sane people including the overwhelming majority of pro-choice people I'm against late term abortion. What sort of sick person supports aborting at 8 months when the child can be born alive?"
But the damage was done.
I'm pro-choice but there's no justification for abortion at 8 months when the child could be born alive. https://t.co/Sk1JDngxBx
— Rita Panahi (@RitaPanahi) November 14, 2019
Then you're not pro-choice https://t.co/l0h33X8N6x
— Leah Torres, MD (@LeahNTorres) November 14, 2019
Like most *sane* people including the overwhelming majority of pro-choice people I'm against late term abortion. What sort of sick person supports aborting at 8 months when the child can be born alive? https://t.co/u7j2hlqIk6
Although Rita is right – most people who call themselves pro-choice or support decriminalisation don't also support the no-limits philosophy – it is cringeworthy ethical relativism to say it's okay to kill a baby at 2 months gestation and not 8. The baby is not more human at that stage. She is not more alive.
If you've read the Universal Declaration of Human rights, those are the only two criteria for fundamental human rights.
For readers preferring the term "fetus" to "baby", get over it. I don't care what you call it, because its name is irrelevant. The nature of the entity is the central question as to whether it is included in protections of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In recognition of "the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family," it stated "Everyone has the right to life," and "Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law."
Let's ask the scientists when we become members of the human family, whatever the stage of human development is technically called.
A recent survey of 5,577 biologists from over 86 countries and a thousand different academic institutions found 96% of these biologists affirmed the view that a human's life begins at fertilisation. For the record: 63% of them were non-religious, only 15% were pro-life, 85% were pro-choice, 89% were liberal and 92% Democrats.
Fertilisation, Rita and other "pro-choicers". That's the moment when the object of debate is unequivocally a living member of the human family. Not at eight months gestation or an earlier time of statistically determined "viability" – a misleading term which only means a greater than 50% chance of survival. You'd kill a kid with a 49% chance of survival? What about 30%? Why do you get to arbitrarily decide when a living human can be deliberately killed? As per the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, no one has that right.
Just three months before that historical document was signed by nations including America and Australia, the World Medical Association's Declaration of Geneva adopted a physician's oath which pledged to maintain respect for human life from the time of conception. There is no credible doubt when human life and with it human rights begin, and there hasn't been for more than 70 years.
Universal human rights are not subject to location, nor age (stage of development), nor gender, nor religion, nor politics, nor proclivity, nor circumstance of conception, nor economic status, nor whim of a democratic majority nor activist judiciary nor parent.
You cannot logically say it's wrong to kill a baby at 8 months simply because a caesarean delivery would be less traumatic and risky for both patients but until then the mother's choice is all that matters. Leah Torres' argument; the pro-abortion-choice argument, is the only reason needed to rationalise an abortion choice is the mother doesn't want to be pregnant. That's it. The mother's choice.
Any shrinking from such feticidal fundamentalism is an admission that killing preborn babies is wrong, abortion is wrong, an adult-made choice to end the life of a vulnerable, defenceless child is always wrong and an unmitigated tragedy to be avoided at any cost but another human life – like any other member of the human family.
If you presume to reserve the right to determine when a woman has the choice to kill and when she does not, Leah rightly points out you are no more "pro-choice" than when leftists presume to determine when someone can exercise free speech or religious freedom with arbitrary and patronising conditions.
Abortion is a cancer upon our culture, and just like other once-legal trades treating another living human as disposable private property, there is no exception where it isn't always an injustice.
Either you're "pro-choice" or "there's no justification for abortion".
Make your choice, but at least be ethically consistent.

Q: Split View in Cocoa Apps Does anybody know of any XCode extensions or ways to create the Split View based application seen in Cocoa Touch in Cocoa for use in a Mac application?
Examples I've seen are "Reeder for mac" and the latest Twitter Application in the App Store.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

A: Cocoa has an NSSplitView class which can be used in Interface Builder, and you can always create custom split views or use open source ones such as RBSplitView or the one available in BWToolkit.

A: What additional functionality are you looking for that isn't provided by the already-available NSSplitView?
Reeder for Mac seems to use a simple NSSplitView with 3 subviews. (To create a split view with 3 views, drag the usual NSSplitView into a window or view in InterfaceBuilder, then drag an additional NSView into the NSSplitView in the "Outline Mode" of your IB document's window.)

Redefining Race: Asian American Panethnicity and Shifting Ethnic Boundaries
Dina Okamoto
View Publication Information
Drawing on original research and a series of interviews, Okamoto investigates how different Asian ethnic groups created this collective identity in the wake of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. Okamoto documents the social forces that encouraged the development of this panethnic identity. The racial segregation of Asians in similar occupations and industries, for example, produced a shared experience of racial discrimination, which led Asians of different national origins to develop shared interests and identities. By constructing a panethnic label and identity, ethnic group members created their own collective histories, and in the process challenged and redefined current notions of race. The emergence of a panethnic racial identity also depended, somewhat paradoxically, on different groups organizing along distinct ethnic lines to gain recognition and rights from the larger society. According to Okamoto, ethnic organizations provided the foundation necessary to build solidarity within different Asian-origin communities. Leaders and community members who created inclusive narratives and advocated policies that benefited groups beyond their own moved their discrete ethnic organizations toward a panethnic model. For example, a number of ethnic-specific organizations in San Francisco expanded their services and programs to include other ethnic group members after their original constituencies dwindled in size or assimilated. A Laotian organization included refugees from different parts of Asia, a Japanese organization began to advocate for South Asian populations, and a Chinese organization opened its doors to Filipinos and Vietnamese. As Okamoto shows, the process of building ties between ethnic communities while also recognizing ethnic diversity is the hallmark of panethnicity.

The bluff Northerner's guide to the Iran crisis
UNSURE what to do as tensions rise over the Iran crisis? Here bluff Yorkshireman Roy Hobbs explains the situation in no-nonsense terms.
What the bleeding heck is going on?
It's a complex geo-political situation, but basically Trump is playing silly b*ggers again. I think it's losing his hair. My brother-in-law Arnold went funny like that and started buying drinks for young lasses.
Are we going to be attacked by Iran?
Don't get your knickers in a twist, Iran's bloody miles off. Just keep an eye on the news on telly and check out the back window. If you see missiles, get the washing in.
How did all this mither start?
I were saying down the Crown the other day, 'You can't understand Middle Eastern politics without a basic grasp of deep-seated Sunni and Shia sectarian tensions.' It's like the good-natured rivalry between Yorkshire and Lancashire. Except slightly more violent.
I'm not reet pleased about these terrorist threats. What should I do?
Don't make unnecessary flights, eg. from Harrogate to Knaresborough. The bus will get you there in 15 minutes anyway. And don't assume everyone with a different skin colour or accent is a terrorist. I confronted an ISIS in Scarborough but he was just a builder from Chester into tanning.
Could this escalate into nuclear war?
Unlikely. But a nice bit of glowing plutonium could keep the tea warm all day.
Nobody wants to be the first ars*hole to bring up Brexit
NOBODY in the UK wants to be the first kn*bhead to ruin the new year by bringing up f**king Brexit, it has agreed.
From Aberdeen to Penzance, Britons are trying to stick to topics like 'How was your Christmas?' and 'Did you see that Dracula?' for as long as possible.
Print manager Emma Bradford said: "It's been lovely, not thinking about it. Why not let that last just a little longer?
"It's been so nice to be able to go an entire night down the pub without anyone arguing about leaving or remaining. Without all that wondering what's next.
"We had a chat about possible war with Iran at the water cooler and I was dreading it coming up but thankfully it never did and we were able to keep it light and fun."
Historian Dr Helen Archer said: "History shows us that the best way to prevent major political events bringing you down is simply to ignore them.
"The best way to avoid Brexit is not to mention Brexit. Oh damn it. Sorry."

Violence has flared in one of the many Paris migrant 'transit camps' that have flourished in the city this week, with special police deployed to quell the riot.
Angered migrants threw missiles and charged one another with iron and wooden bars at the Stalingrad Metro on Thursday night, with the chaos caught on camera by the inhabitant of a neighbouring apartment. The extraordinary violence is reported to have started when a drunk man threw an object at the migrants, who returned in kind by throwing street furniture and strips of metal, reports Le Parisien.
Specialist police of the undercover 'Anti-Crime Brigade' were called to the scene, and riot police showered cannisters of tear-gas down on the rioting migrants to clear the area. The men being repulsed were primarily of Eritrean, Sudanese, and Afghan origin.
Plain-clothes 'Anti-Crime Brigade' officers patrol France's so-called Z.U.S. 'sensitive urban zones' — better known as 'no go zones' — in unmarked cars and receive special weapons and vehicle training.
Despite claims in some British media that anti-migrant vigilantes may have been involved, French reports state police are still unaware of what triggered the fight, although the possibility of disputes over territory or conflicts imported from foreign war-zones may be to blame.
Breitbart London reported on the under-bridge migrant camps in May 2015, which had sprung up as a convenient transit-point on the route north to Calais, and then on to Britain. The number of men living in the tents under the railway bridge was then 500, but it has recently swollen to 1,000 as French police cleared the migrant camps at Calais, causing the illegals gathered there to disperse.
The existence of the insanitary camp has been supported by local pro-migrant charities, which have provided old mattresses and tents for the illegals to live in. Chemical toilets are also provided to prevent worse fouling of the environment.

Davos Agenda Day Five: Advancing Global and Regional Cooperation
Winona Roylance
he final day of the 2021 Davos Agenda, centered around the topic of "advancing global and regional cooperation," saw heads of state and industry leaders come together to both highlight the successes of global cooperation in handling the COVID-19 pandemic as well as warn against vaccine nationalism and other potential disunity that may increase post-pandemic.
In Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong's opening address, he notes how as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, the world "was forcibly reminded that our fates were intertwined and that we had to work together," praising the global community's efforts to restore supply chains, share tests and medical supplies, and work towards vaccine multilateralism initiatives. Similarly, he commends scientists and doctors in their willingness to share information about the disease and potential treatments, and notes that on the part of central banks, it was the "unprecedented levels of emergency spending and budgetary stimulus [that] have kept us afloat, providing a lifeline to companies, workers and families." He also comments that in terms of climate change, "collectively we need to set higher common standards and hold one another to our mutual commitments."
Similarly, Prime Minister of Japan Suga Yoshihide explains in his address that Japan's green growth strategy is meant to create 15 million jobs by 2050, at the same point in which Japan plans to become carbon neutral. He also notes "environmental measures are no longer an economic constraint. Rather, they substantially transform the social economy, generating robust growth." In terms of the delayed Tokyo Summer Olympic games, he says "this is going to be the testimony of our humankind prevailing over COVID-19, so we are resolved to deliver the games in a safe and secure manner." He also promises "amidst the protectionist moves due to COVID-19, Japan will exercise leadership in the efforts towards expanding free and fair economic areas and strengthening rule-based multilateral free trading system," as well as continue to work towards strengthening global relations.
Indeed, with a burgeoning sense that global cooperation and multilateralism will be of the utmost importance post COVID-19 in order to tackle ever-growing global issues, several panels of the day focused on how collaborative efforts between countries will be necessary to manage these global risks. In terms of COVID-19, Arancha González Laya, Minister of Foreign Affairs at the European Union & Cooperation of Spain, highlights that "cooperation is proving the most efficient way to deal with the pandemic and its impact" and notes that "we wouldn't have been able to develop a vaccine in less than a year if it hadn't been for international cooperation." Furthermore, Minister of Foreign Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia Retno L.P. Marsudi urges against the politicization of the COVID-19 vaccines, stating that "we must remind ourselves vaccines are a humanitarian issue, not a political one." Taro Kono, Minister of Administrative Reform and Regulatory Reform in the Cabinet Office of Japan, ultimately agrees "we need to put values first, including human rights."
Kang Kyun-Wha, Minister of Foreign Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Republic of Korea explains that in order to tackle global challenges moving forward, there are four things we must do: strengthen the WHO, tackle misinformation and disinformation, strengthen the multi-stakeholder approach, and restore multilateralism. In terms of US-China relations in specific, Fu Ying, Vice-Chairperson for the Foreign Affairs Committee on the 13th National People's Congress, acknowledges that "it's a challenge for both [the US and China] to find a way forward," as the sense of competition between the two countries have grown over the past few years. However, she also notes that "how China and the US define [their] relationship is important not just to both countries but to the world," and lastly notes that "as long as we have this spirit of mutual respect, and respect the fact each culture can exist in its own way, I'm sure it can evolve."
As the 2021 Davos Agenda comes to a close, the global risks of an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine nationalism, climate change, food and water scarcity, geopolitical tensions in addition to a host of other global issues may paint a dark picture of the future, but if there is anything to be gained from this year's Davos agenda, it is this: strengthened global cooperation and multilateralism is the only way forward.

YATE TOWN 1
After the pre-match presentation by Ted Phillips, the District League Chairman to our Manager, the game got under way.
Yate honoured us with their best team against us and their speed unsettled us for a while. Hunt and Cameron sewed up the back, with superb performances by Heys and Dermott Hackett. The most perfect corner by Thompson caused the Yate keeper some problems and Cameron charged in to head a rare goal, to put us 1 up at half-time.
The second half changes took awhile to settle down and when they did, the flowing football came back and Yate were under pressure for long periods.
Stallard had a great game and won praise from the Referee after the game, for his robust style of play and for destroying the Yate midfield. Hillier started to spray the ball around and after 70 minutes, Spicer scored, after a fine ball from midfield, a great run gave him the goal against his old club.
Yate pulled a goal back soon after and they had a chance to level the scores with a penalty but it hit the post and was cleared (I still think John touched it) but i maybe wrong.
Nevertheless Sodbury had shown the style of football that could set them up for a Championship winning season next year.

Deutschlandjahr - Year of German-American FriendshipUSA


Theoretical part of the article describes single-pipe heating systems, their different ways of configuration, their advantages and disadvantages. It is followed by practical part dealing with design of a single-pipe horizontal heating system with "riding" connection of radia tors.
This article sums up the issues of the fire safety of air and smoke extraction ducts. The author identifies and analyses the relevant standards, the principal design decisions, the construction details and the fabrication practices that affect the fire safety the most. The practical experience in the field demands much higher attention to this subject: from the standardization bodies, the design bureaus, the construction supervisors and the fabrica tors.
Determination of Efficiency of Hot-Water Solid Fuel Boilers According to Decree No. 194/2013 Coll.
The author draws attention to the question of determining the efficiency of hot water solid fuel boilers according to the current legisla tion. The statements are supported with a practical example.
The lowest possible induction is the minimal mixing of the supplied air with the ambient air, which is achieved by, for example, separation of the air stream from the supply outlet with use of screens. However, the air must be supplied appropriately – at a low speed. This ensures minimal overpressure in the area behind the screen. The solution can be used both for single-point and flat-area air supply. The article presents three cases of ventilation of demanding industrial workplaces with requirements to ensure intensive ventilation without contamination from the surrounding dusty environment or cooling of given workplaces. In all the cases, permeable or non-permeable fabrics were used, with distribution holes of a diameter from 200 mm to 400 mm.
The aim of the paper is to assess to what extent can heat pump supplied in the classical configuration with the on/off power control and the heat pump with a continuous control by variation of compressor speed meet the requirements of the heating system on the amount of delivered heat and its temperature level, which change during the year.
The article presents an expert system for automatic detection and diagnostics of failures of air-conditioning (HVAC) units, on the basis of expert rules using continuously collected data. The tool makes it possible to detect badly operated HVAC appliances that either consume more energy than necessary or fail to provide user comfort, eventually operate in a mode unsuitable for their lifespan. This analysis is done without any intervention of a human operator.
The aim of the paper is to highlight the most common mistakes in sizing of domestic hot water (hereinafter only DHW) storage tanks and heat sources for DHW preparation. The article describes two basic ways of designing: Method using heat supply and demand curves of the DHW preparation system and Method of priority DHW preparation. Sizing of the DHW storage tank should primarily correspond to the used heat source and expected hot water consumption profile. When using the heat supply and demand curve method, the designer places the greatest importance on the minimum size of the DHW storage tank (i.e. the shape of the supply curve), regardless of the potential changes in the DHW consumption profile (i.e. the demand curve). When using the so-called priority DHW preparation, the basic precondition is often neglected that the required heat output of a common heat source must comply not only with the DHW preparation system but also with other connected hea t consumption points.
The paper deals with modern materials, technologies and their combinations, which can improve energy use in buildings. It describes the technical design and use of a special storage device consisting of PCM heataccumulating panels. The storage panels have an integrated tubular heat exchanger and heating film, so the technology can be used in both passive and active heating and cooling modes. The technology is designed with respect to ecology, i.e. with the ability to use energy from renewable sources, such as photovoltaics, solar collectors and heat pumps. An interesting and unusual possibility is the use of thermoelectric cooling. The research also introduces a measurement of various operating modes, the results of which are useful.inincreasing the thermal ca pacity of buildings and providing hea ting and cooling.
The aim of the article is to acquaint the public to the key qualitative characteristics and technical parameters of air-conditioning units and, consequently, to the current possibilities of their verification. These possibilities are certifications, which guarantee valid technical specification of the designed systems according to European and international standards and regulations, including the possibility of issuing applicable energy labels. The article presents content of the tests that precede the issuing of particular certificates, design of the logo rela ted to the certifica te and some essential rules for its use in technical specifica tions.
The correct use of atmospheric air filters for general ventilation is based on separation capabilities of filter expressed by dependence of fractional separation efficiency on particle size and on the grain size and concentration of solids in the air in the particular considered case. The paper gives an overview of the development of standardization and testing of general ventilation filters in Europe and the USA. It critically evaluates this development, namely in terms of usability of introduced characteristics of tested filters for determination of total separation efficiency and lifetime period in particular case of use. It informs about ISO 16890:2016 standard, which introduces new indicators for testing and classification of filters – fractions of atmospheric dust PM10, PM2.5 and PM1. This standard was incorporated into the EN standardization framework in December 2016 and into the CSN standardization framework in November 2017. Except the USA, the standard is expected to be widely a pplied in Europe and worldwide.
The paper discusses technical ways to eliminate legionella bacteria in the domestic hot water preparation and distribution systems. In particular, it compares the thermal disinfection with the chemical disinfection, their financial costs, the effect on the domestic water pipeline and the lifetime of the whole system of hot water preparation, under the condition of continuous fulfillment of the hygienic requirements for hot water.
The article deals with measurement of total water consumption and its distribution during the daily cycle in apartment buildings. Knowledge of the distribution of hot water consumption during the day is important for dimensioning of storage water heaters and hot water storage tanks. Based on the measurement results, a new computing relation was determined for volume sizing of hot water storage heaters or storage tanks, resulting from peak wa ter consumption.
The concept of "Internet of Things"(IoT) has certainly been heard by everybody. Popularization articles presenting the possibilities of its use frequently mention the acquisition of data from energy meters, temperature readings and alarm notifications as one of the key areas of its utilization. These are precisely the data that interests us in heating, remote controlling of air-conditioning units and other devices for conditioning and distribution of air. The article focuses on the IoT from the point of view of a heating engineer and it sho ws how it can – or cannot – be currently used in this field.

A happy ending but much happens to Hope and her family. Job loss, relocating, difficult times for her adult children. Hopes' job in a womens correctional facility changes it all. Crafting and more importantly quilting are a large part of this story. We just heard Marie talk in Poulsbo. One of the most engaging and funny authors I've heard. If you've never read Marie before, this book Hope on the Inside is a great place to start. SIGNED copies.
In this compelling, heartwarming novel from New York Times bestselling author Marie Bostwick, one woman finds new purpose in a new phase of life . . .
"Whatever comes your way, find the happiness in it." Hope Carpenter received that advice from her mother decades ago. Now, with their four children grown, Hope and her husband, Rick, are suddenly facing an uncertain future, after a forced retirement strains both their savings and their marriage. Seeking inspiration and a financial boost, Hope gets a job teaching crafts to inmates at a local women's prison.
At first, Hope feels foolish and irrelevant, struggling to relate to women whose choices seem so different from her own. But with time, and the encouragement of the prison chaplain, she begins to discover common ground with the inmates, in their worries about their children and families, their fear of having failed those who need them. Just like her, they want to make something of themselves, but believe it might be impossible.
Embarking on an ambitious quilting project, Hope and her students begin to bond. Together, piece by piece, they learn to defy expectations—their own and others'—and to see that it's never too late to stitch together a life that, even in its imperfections, is both surprising and beautiful.
Marie Bostwick was born and raised in the northwest. In the three decades since her marriage, Marie and her family have moved frequently, living in eight different states at eighteen different addresses. These experiences have given Marie a unique perspective that enables her to write about people from all walks of life and corners of the country with insight and authenticity. Marie currently resides in Portland, where she enjoys writing, spending time with family, gardening, collecting fabric, and stitching quilts. Visit her at www.mariebostwick.com.

Q: Python `ctypes` - How to copy buffer returned by C function into a bytearray A pointer to buffer of type POINTER(c_ubyte) is returned by the C function (the image_data variable in the following code). I want this data to be managed by Python, so I want to copy it into a bytearray. Here's the function call
image_data = stb_image.stbi_load(filename_cstr, byref(width),
                                 byref(height), byref(num_channels),
                                 c_int(expected_num_channels))

We get to know the width and height of the image only after that call, so can't pre-allocate a bytearray.
I would have used
 array_type = c.c_ubyte * (num_channels.value * width.value * height.value)

 image_data_bytearray = bytearray(cast(image_data, array_type))

But the type to cast to must be a pointer, not array, so I get an error.
TypeError: cast() argument 2 must be a pointer type, not c_ubyte_Array_262144

What should I do?

A: OK, reading the answer to the question linked to in the comments (thanks, @"John Zwinck" and @"eryksun"), there are two ways of storing the data, either in a bytearray or a numpy.array. In all these snippets, image_data is of type POINTER(c_ubyte), and we have array_type defined as -
array_type = c_ubyte * num_channels * width * height

We can create a bytearray first and then loop over and set the bytes
arr_bytes = bytearray(array_size)
for i in range(array_size):
    arr_bytes[i] = image_data[i]

Or a better way is to create a C array instance using from_address and then initialize a bytearray with it -
image_data_carray = array_type.from_address(addressof(image_data.contents))

# Copy into bytearray
image_data_bytearray = bytearray(image_data_carray)

And during writing the image (didn't ask this question, just sharing for completeness), we can obtain pointer to the bytearray data like this and give it to stbi_write_png
image_data_carray = array_type.from_buffer(image_data_bytearray)
image_data = cast(image_data_carray, POINTER(c_ubyte))

The numpy based way of doing it is as answered in the linked question
address = addressof(image_data.contents)
image_data_ptr = np.ctypeslib.as_array(array_type.from_address(address))

This alone however only points to the memory returned by the C function, doesn't copy into a Python-managed array object. We can copy by creating a numpy array as
image_data = np.array(image_data_ptr)

To confirm I have done an assert all(arr_np == arr_bytes) there. And arr_np.dtype is uint8.
And during writing the image, we can obtain a pointer to the numpy array's data like this
image_data = image_data_numpy.ctypes.data_as(POINTER(c_ubyte))

A: Your variable array_type shouldn't even be called thus as it is in fact not an initialized C array nor any kind of type, but a Python object prepared for doing the array initialization.
Well, initialized array also shouldn't be called thus as well. :D
You should be doing there an equivalent of:
unsigned char array[channels*width*height];

in C. Then array is a pointer to N*types unsigned char pointing to first byte of the array. (index 0)
A cast() should get a pointer to see the data's type,. So doing:
array = (c.c_ubyte*(channels*width*height))()

should do the trick. But you don't need extra allocated memory. So you can create a pointer as suggested in a comment.
But I suggest you use:
image_data = bytearray(c.string_at(image_data))

It should work, assuming, of course, that returned image is null terminated. Well, this also implies using signed chars but it doesn't have to be.
If you wrote the C portion, just allocate one byte extra to the memory that will contain an image which is declared/cast to contain unsigned chars and put the last item to 0.
Then leave the algorithm to work as before. If you do not null terminate it, you will still get the whole image with string_at(), but there will be a memory leak of 3 bytes or so more. Very undesirable.
I used this trick in my C module for colorspace conversion. It works extremely fast as there are no loops, No anything extra. string_at() just pulls in the buffer and creates Python string wrapper around it.
Then you can use numpy.fromstring(...) or array.array("B", image_data) or use bytearray() as above  etc.
Otherwise, well, I saw your answer just now. You can do it as you wrote as well, but I think that my dirty trick is better (if you can change the C code, of course).
P.S. Whoops! I just saw in a doc string that string_at() can have an optional argument size. Perhaps using it will completely ignore the termination and there wouldn't be any leakage. I am asking myself now why didn't I use it in my project but messed with null termination.
Perhaps out of lazyness. Using size shouldn't require any modifications to C code. So it would be:
image_data = bytearray(c.string_at(image_data, channels*width*height))
