Given events in Charlottesville, Virginia over the last week, the symbolic significance of statues couldn't be clearer. Virginia, after all, was one of the key points of the global perambulations of the nineteenth century slave trade. It was also the state where confederate general Robert E Lee commanded his army. More than a century on, the proposed removal of Lee's statue in Charlottesville became the alt.right/fascist mob's main battleground. Meanwhile, in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, John Flaxman's 1828 white marble statue of Robert Burns stands centre stage tall and proud at the centre of the Grand Hall, not giving an inkling of the national bard's own flirtation with the slave trade. Burns made plans several times to embark on a ship to the West Indies to become a slave driver. In the end he never set sail, but the intention was there.
As part of Edinburgh Art Festival, the Portrait Gallery is currently housing two complementary installations by leading Scottish artists that challenge Burns' assorted perceived images by transcending them. In the Gallery's Grand Hall, Douglas Gordon has created Black Burns, in which Flaxman's original has been cast in black marble, then smashed into pieces, which lie sprawled at the feet of Flaxman's imperious white forebear.
In the gallery next door, The Slave's Lament is a video installation by Graham Fagen, in which reggae singer Ghetto Priest sings a new setting of Burns' lyric that empathises with those trafficked and put into slavery. Composed by Sally Beamish, the recording is produced by Adrian Sherwood, whose On-U-Sound record label has been a melting pot of dub reggae for almost forty years.
Fagen's installation was originally curated by Hospitalfield, Arbroath and seen when Fagen represented Scotland at the Venice Biennale in 2015. This follows Fagen's previous melding of Burns with reggae, first with Clean Hands Warm Heart at Tramway, Glasgow in 2005, then with I Murder Hate at the Tolbooth and Changing Room, Stirling, in 2009. While the former video installation featured Ghetto Priest singing a mash up of The Slave's Lament and Auld Lang Syne, the latter saw Ghetto Priest and Sherwood perform with Tackhead's Skip MacDonald, folk guitarist Ian King and percussionist Pete Lockett to coincide with a new recording of the Burns lyric that gave the show its name.
The fact that both artists discovered reggae by way of punk, and bunked off life drawing class at Glasgow School of Art to see a secret gig by The Clash seems relevant somehow. This is both to Fagen and Gordon's artworks, and to the fifty minute compendium of poetry and music that formed Had We Never itself. There are umbilical links too in the evocative performances by Ghetto Priest and Scots Makar Jackie Kay.
Billed in the programme of the Edinburgh International Festival, who presented the event in collaboration with SNPG, as Robert Burns: Chains and Slavery, Had We Never takes its title from lines in Burns' Ae Fond Kiss, sung live here by bass singer Brian Bannatyne-Scott. This followed a rendition of The Slave's Lament by countertenor David James which opened the late night programme with the shattered fragments of Gordon's Black Burns cordoned off, as if a fatal accident had taken place. The audience seated around it bore witness alongside Flaxman's statue, upright and untouched.
With Kay reading poems inbetween the songs with a stark emotional clarity, a loose narrative emerged that shifted the meanings of things by way of other influences. So when Ghetto Priest stepped up to sing Beamish's setting of The Slave's Lament, played by violinist Jonathan Morton, cellist Alison Lawrence and double bassist Diane Clark (all of the Scottish Ensemble) it opened out Burns' original words through more than two centuries of trickle-down oppression. James' rendition of Estonian composer Arvo Part's setting of My Heart's in the Highlands sounded more formal, but a similar sense of multi-cultural roots criss-crossing each other pervaded throughout. Inbetween, Shostakovich's takes on O wert thou in the cauld blast and McPherson's Farewell achieved something similar.
While by no means deliberate, all this reflected the uncomfortable truths tackled in stunning fashion by Edinburgh band Young Fathers in a video filmed last month at the Portrait Gallery, when they attacked the whitewashing of history head on in a devastating new spoken word piece. While their video wasn't part of Had We Never's programme, the racist bile it attracted from online trolls in response seemed to confirm Young Fathers' point.
A closing A Man's A Man doesn't let Burns off the hook. Rather, it seemed to acknowledge his flaws. For all his seeming assurance on the outside, inside – just like Black Burns – he was in pieces.

The TecnoCampus is participating in a project to boost the circular economy in eleven sectors
The project has been coordinated by the businessman Jaume Ferrer and has had the collaboration of Accenture. In total Nearly 100 companies and sector associations have taken part, belonging to eleven branches of activity: energy, agri-food, automotive, logistics, construction, tourism, textiles, water cycle, cities, ICT sector and banking. The research addresses the relevance of business models and best practices in each of the sectors when applying the circular economy.
Needs are analyzed in matters such as; regulatory changes, key technologies, training and employment skills, as well as the stimuli and public aid needed to make the circular economy more profitable than the traditional linear economy by motivating actors (society and business). The aim of this initiative is to contribute to the achievement of the measures included in the Spanish Circular Economy Strategy 2030 (EEEC) announced by the Spanish government.
According to Jaime Ferrer, "companies agree that circular economy models are of different importance depending on the sector; we are talking about issues such as ecodesign, the use of renewable resources, the recovery of materials, the extension of useful life, "service" business models or shared consumption platforms ".
Mar Isla, researcher at the TecnoCampus Chair in Circular Economics and Sustainability, believes that: "if the goals of the EEEC 2030 are to be met, measures will be needed to promote the incorporation of recovered materials into the production cycles of all sectors and, in addition, the principles of repair and extension of life will have to be integrated. useful products in business models. "
Jordi Morató, researcher at the UNESCO Chair in Sustainability at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, is surprised by the level of awareness of companies when facing this change and the clarity when it comes to identifying the barriers that they make it difficult: "We will only achieve the objectives of the EEEC 2030 if regulation and incentives mobilize private capital to develop a state network for the collection and recovery of both household fractions and industrial waste. EU Next Generation funding will not be enough. "
Joan Batalla, CEO of Funseam, emphasized: "The new regulations promote renewable energy and waste recovery, but the transition to the circular economy will require new adjustments, particularly in terms of incentives for private capital. It is necessary to promote business models that promote energy saving, waste assessment and renewable energy generation networks, as well as industrial and energy symbiosis projects between complementary sectors ". The document provides the administrations with some proposals for the design of regulatory measures, as well as specific assistance programs for the real needs of companies.
Jaime Ferrer points out, for example, that "measures to support the electric vehicle must be complemented with measures that facilitate the industrial conversion of the sector to activities such as the development of new materials, the conversion of internal combustion vehicles into electric and remanufacturing of components for reincorporation into the production processes of the manufacture of vehicles and other industrial goods. " The conclusions of the project are being made known to companies and administrations. Reports related to 8 sectors (energy, water cycle, textiles, tourism, transporte and logistics, automotive and industrial goods, consumption and food and construction) have been completed. The 2022 sectoral reports derived from the research as well as a general report are expected to be published in early 11.
Awards for the best final degree or master's thesis with a perspective on circular economics
The Chair of Circular Economy and Sustainability, with the support of its founding partners, convenes the 1st edition of the awards "Awards for the best final degree or master's thesis with a perspective on circular economy", with the aim of promoting the integration of training on circular economy and sustainability in a systematic and interdisciplinary way in the studies offered at the TecnoCampus. In this sense, the competition is open for the best final degree or master's theses that provide the perspective of circularity in their content.
The awards seek to recognize those works that provide proposals to address the need for the transition to new models of production and consumption.
The award is funded by the Chair of Circular Economy and Sustainability, which has the support of Aigües de Mataró, the Maresme Solid Waste Consortium and the Maresme County Council, andcarries an endowment of 800 euros for each of the winning works.

Professor of the Degree in Audiovisual Media Joan Jordi Miralles publishes the book "Marginalia"
This November, the publishing house Males Herbes has published Marginality, the last book of the professor of the Degree in Audiovisual Media Joan Jordi Miralles.
Marginality is the art of commenting, pointing and drawing in the margins of a book, to highlight everything that is in the text implicitly but buried. Through this concept, Joan Jordi Miralles groups together three long narratives, written over a slow fire and strictly realistic. They are everyday stories that place the protagonists on the threshold of a moral border about to break, on the fine line that separates good intentions from unexpected results.
Joan Jordi Miralles has published the novels·the The Most High (Andròmina Prize, Editions Three and Four, 2005), The whale's uterus (Vila de Lloseta Award, Editorial Moll, 2010), A wonderful woman (LaBreu, 2014) i Agglutination (Joanot Martorell Award, Edicions 62, 2018), in addition to the volume of long stories The intimacy of beasts (Marian Vayreda Award, Empúries, 2017). His stories have participated in various media and anthologies, including Vanishing Points (Weeds, 2015) i Sangassa (AdiA, 2017). In theater, he has published plays This is Austria (Pare Colom Mediterranean Theater Award, Leonard Muntaner, 2012) i Happy children (Weeds, 2016). He is currently the head of content and screenwriter for the new television format program The return of the skylights, which will be broadcast next year on Channel 33.

Imagine Express begins its eighth edition with a hackathon at the TecnoCampus in Mataró
More than 80 people gathered yesterday in teams at the TecnoCampus in Mataró to participate in the competition of ideas in the field of sustainability, tourism and mobility: the Dream BIG Express. This initiative is developed through a competition where solutions are proposed to proposed challenges on: efficiency in energy management, tourism or mobility. This new edition had the participation of teams from university courses and training cycles. After 3 hours of session, from 15pm to 18pm, a jury made up of different industry experts chose the winning team, which will accelerate their idea in the Imagine Express 2022 program, on board a high-speed train between Barcelona and Paris next February. The winning project was Efitrònica, which presented a solution to create more efficient and sustainable trains, and which was proposed by students Joan Gabarró, Pau López and Alberto Rodríguez.
After a year and a half, a break derived from the Covid-19, this new edition of Imagine Express wants to promote young and innovative talent as part of a high-speed train journey between Barcelona and Paris. Participants, called dreamers, must develop in teams of three members an innovative project based on different technologies to respond to one of the selected strategic challenges. Teamwork is the main activity and is carried out on board two train cars dedicated to dreamers, as if they were their offices.
In Paris, the dreamers, accompanied by mentors and experts, will continue to make a final presentation on board a ship that will cross the Seine as it passes through Paris. Back in Barcelona, the edition will end with presentations as part of the celebration of the 4YFN of the MWC scheduled for February 2022.
Energy efficiency, tourism and sustainable mobility
Renfe is the second largest final consumer of electricity. The challenge facing the company is to improve the energy efficiency of its business and achieve a significant cost reduction, at this time of uncertainty in the energy market.
On the other hand, and although Renfe consumes all the electricity with a certificate of guarantee of origin (100% renewable) in its commercial activity of operation, there are still some transits made with fossil fuels. Continuing with the objectives and energy strategies of the Government of Spain, as well as other international bodies, Renfe seeks to consolidate its commitment to the environment focused on reducing CO2 emissions as well as the search for viable energy alternatives. more sustainable.
On the other hand, mass tourism is harming places and their residents, in the face of a global phenomenon in many destinations where the number of travelers has reached disproportionate proportions. The trend is described as "Overtourism": the excessive growth of visitors that causes a place to become overcrowded and residents to suffer the consequences and permanent changes in their lifestyles, social welfare and access to services and goods. common. This impact of tourism also exacerbates energy and waste problems.
Currently 50% of the world's population lives in cities. According to UN studies, the forecast is that by 2050, 70% of the population will live in a metropolis. This increase in urban areas means an increase in daily travel and is a challenge to achieve a mobility policy that involves a reduction and a change in the way we travel, more sustainable and respectful of our environment and at the same time avoid more 1,3 million deaths annually in traffic accidents that occur worldwide. Vehicle electrification is playing a very important role in the automotive and power generation industry. A challenge is presented to manage electricity demand, reduce losses due to energy transporte and preserve the quality of electricity supply.
Cases of previous editions
Imagine Express has had several success stories born of this program in the previous six editions. Trip4Real is a service to connect travelers with local citizens of the destination. Driven by dreamer Gloria Molins, in 2016 it was acquired by AirBNB. HumanITcare by dreamer Núria Pastor, is the Artificial Intelligence platform based on real data from patients' lives, such as wearables and self-reported questions, which facilitates better medical care. Vincles Bcn is another success story that was also born on Imagine Express; is a platform to avoid the loneliness of the elderly driven by the dreamer Josep Maria Miró. It is an application for creating communication networks between the elderly (via tablet) and people they trust (via mobile App). The project has been awarded 5 million euros by Bloomberg Philanthropies and Barcelona City Council has invested 10 million more for a first deployment to 20.000 grandparents in the city of Barcelona. Also noteworthy is Psious, by dreamers Dani Roig and Xavier Palomer. The app works on treating phobias using augmented reality and has captured several rounds of funding. Or Ikigai, the platform that turns retired doctors into mentors, promoted by dreamer Cristina Coll and Xavier Tarradellas.
The TecnoCampus, selected to train high-level digital professionals

Industrial student Aleix Moral presents his TFG at an international conference
Industrial and automatic electronic engineering student Aleix Moral presents the results of his final degree project at the international congress SAFE 2021.
In this work, an eye-tracker has been successfully interconnected with a collaborative robotic arm so that the user sends a series of points, which he specifies with the gaze, and then the robot makes a drawing on paper interconnecting these points. One possible application would be the making of drawings by people with functional diversity.
The final degree project was defended in the last call of July 2021 at the Polytechnic School of the Tecnocampus, under the direction of Professor Marcos Faúndez and with the support of Professor Josep Lopez Xarbau. The work has been selected by the SAFE 2021 congress for oral presentation and publication in the congress minutes book. Due to the pandemic situation, the congress was held via zoom.
You can see one project demo in this link and the complete TFG can be consulted in the Tecnocampus repositories.
The TecnoCampus and the City Council of Mataró, again awarded by the Reempresa program
The TecnoCampus and the Mataró City Council were awarded at the Biz Barcelona Entrepreneurship Show by the Barcelona Provincial Council as one of the most active local Reempresa centers in the Barcelona region. This is an award that has been repeated for five years, when the Reempresa Awards initiative began. Reempresa is an initiative of the employer Cecot with the support of the Diputació de Barcelona. The Councilor for Employment and Business and the second deputy mayor of Mataró City Council, Sergi Morales, was in charge of receiving the recognition.
Since its launch in 2012, the Reempresa center at the TecnoCampus has reached 105 cases of "successful re-companies" (assignments or business transfers). To date, this point of attention has advised 318 businesses whose owners wanted to transfer it to an entrepreneur and 508 negotiation processes have been generated.
The aim of the program is to promote and structure the transfer of companies as a way of growth of economic activity, and thus avoid the closure of economically viable businesses and the destruction of employment in the municipalities of the region.
The program offers people who want to sell their business, free of charge, individual advice for the preparation of the Assignment Plan, as well as advice throughout the transfer process of the company: from the first meeting of presentation of the parties until the signing of the contract of sale, going through the phases of negotiation and mediation to reach an agreement.
People who have the project of "re-starting" a company or business that is already in operation, are offered a portfolio of businesses in transmission and are helped to make the viability plan or Re-enterprise of a business that interests them.
Participation of the Chair of Circular Economy and Sustainability in the Recuwaste
Within the framework of the 2021 edition of RECUWASTE, the Chair of Circular Economy and Sustainability has been responsible for directing and moderating the new TecnoCampus Innovation Corner space of the congress. With this initiative RECUWASTE increases the presence of the industrial world among its actors and audience, in a further step to become a cross-cutting and integrative proposal of all parties involved in the generation and management of waste, now considered new resources , ie public administration, waste managers, business world, consumers and innovation and transfer system. The Tecnocampus Innovation Corner space has focused this first year on two major sectors, textiles and plastics. The morning session began with the intervention of Sònia Llorens, director of the Chair, who presented the paper "Innovation for circularity" and then gave way to the other participants. First of all, Maite Ardèvol, leader of the team of Circular Economy, Technological Transformation and Disruption Unit of ACCIÓ, of the Catalan government has presented a good example of companies with circular solutions in the sectors, textiles and plastics and has announced the celebration of the international event Circular Economy Hotspot Catalonia 2021 from 15 to 18 November. The subsequent round table focused on the textile sector was moderated by Jordi Costa, CEO of Datambient and spoke by David Puyuelo of the company COLIBRI, Robert D. Thomson, Scientific Director of MATERFAD and Miquel Rey, General Business Director of EURECAT. From this triple point of view, the challenges of the valuation of textile waste to return it to the value chain have been addressed. Coincidence of the speakers in the need for more research to overcome the technological challenges, which are not few, but also to open the perspective to expand the market of recovered raw materials, either within the same sector or others. The hand of MATERFAD has vindicated creativity to rethink the classic concept of fabric and give way to new materials with equal or better functionality, designed under circularity criteria.
The afternoon session, dedicated to plastics, was moderated by Sònia Llorens who introduced the debate with the paper "Polyhedral vision: plastics in the circular economy" which anticipated the variety of perspectives that were raised in the session. Carlos Mendieta, Director of Corporate Affairs, Communication and Sustainability at PelStar, Ivan Albertos, head of public affairs and sustainability at BASF, and Sergio Giménez, Business Director of AIMPLAS took part. The debate has begun with the unanimous rejection of the demonization of plastic, to incorporate the different nuances The table has abounded in the thesis of Leyla Acaroglu, also present in this edition of Recuwaste that invites to abandon simplistic discourses of categorization of materials good and bad, to force technical analyzes of the carbon footprint throughout the life cycle. Also, we can not talk about plastics in general because there are many polymers, with different possibilities of recovery and recycling, and precisely its use and final disposal is the main cause of the environmental impact. Advances in chemical recycling technologies that open up many more options to the already more mature mechanics have also been considered. It is possible, the speakers agreed, that the recycled material will continue to have a slightly higher price on the market. Therefore, beyond the legislation and the dynamizing role of the administration, corporate commitment, corporate responsibility is essential to advance good practices and the choice of business models with a positive social impact. In this same session was also the official presentation of the Ibero-American Network of Waste Management for the Circular Economy, RIGREC, created this year by the Chair of Circular Economy and Sustainability of the Tecnocampus, the Consortium for the Treatment of Residus del Maresme and the UNINI-Mexico University with the interventions of Mar Illa, representing TecnoCampus held by the Technical Secretariat of the Network, and Alina Pascual of the UNINI-Mexico University.
Professor Marcos Faúndez publishes an article on Parkinson's disease
Professor Marcos Faúndez publishes the article "Exploiting Spectral and Cepstral Handwriting Features on Diagnosing Parkinson's Disease" in the indexed first quartile journal IEEE Access. This work has been carried out jointly with researchers from the TEC in Monterrey (Mexico) and the University of Technology in Brno (Czech Republic). In the scientific study cepstral parameters are applied, widely used in voice signal processing, in writing signals, as well as Machine learning techniques. This strategy allows to raise the classification rates of Parkinson's disease from writing to 98.57%.
The work is part of the activities of the signal and data processing group of the TecnoCampus and the competitive project TAPEO (Advanced techniques for preprocessing online writing for device interoperability) funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation, in the last call.

text:
était un busshi (sculpteur bouddhique dans le Japon ancien, comme Unkei et son maître Kōkei), actif de 1183 à 1223 d'après les documents subsistants. Il était membre de l'école Kei (Kei-ha), nommée ainsi en raison du kanshi  figurant dans le nom de ses principaux représentants. Kaikei était également appelé Anna-dabutsu ou An Amida Butsu (en référence au bouddha Amida), et son style se nomme An'amiyō (style Anami). La plupart de ses œuvres ont une hauteur d'environ trois shaku et un grand nombre d'entre elles nous sont parvenues.

De nos jours, Kaikei et peut-être plus encore son compagnon d'apprentissage Unkei sont considérés comme les deux plus grands maîtres de leur temps, qui ont profondément défini et influencé la sculpture de Kamakura. Kaikei a fait l'objet de plusieurs monographies synthétisant l'état de la recherche sur le sujet, notamment des historiens de l'art Hisashi Mōri, Takeshi Kobayashi et Saburōsuke Tanabe (voir bibliographie).

Contexte

Kaikei fut actif au tout début de l'époque de Kamakura, période de profonde mutation au Japon, car l'aristocratie perdit tout réel pouvoir au profit des clans guerriers : c'était l'instauration du shogunat de Kamakura (bakufu). Les écoles bouddhiques ésotériques des siècles précédents (Tendai, Shingon) cédèrent également la place à un bouddhisme plus populaire et tourné vers la recherche intérieure de la foi, en particulier les écoles de la Terre pure (Jōdo en japonais). En histoire de l'art, la période reste fortement caractérisée par la sculpture de Kamakura, dernier âge d'or de la sculpture japonaise, sous l'influence de l'école Kei. Rompant avec l'idéalisme et l'académisme de Heian, elle proposait un style marqué par le réalisme, le dynamisme, les influences de la Chine des Song et l'étude des styles anciens de la période Tenpyō, correspondant mieux au goût des samouraïs, nouveaux maîtres du Japon, et des nouvelles écoles de la Terre pure. Le matériau principal alors était le bois depuis plusieurs siècles, sculpté avec la méthode dite yosegi-zukuri (bois assemblé), qui consistait à composer une statue en assemblant les diverses pièces qui la composaient, sculptées séparément.

C'est à Nara que l'école Kei se développa, prenant grandement part aux rénovations des temples détruits par les Taira en 1180 durant la guerre de Genpei, et sa création est communément attribuée à Kōkei, le maître de Kaikei. Ainsi, l'art de Kaikei se situe au début de la sculpture de Kamakura.

Biographie

Kaikei était tout comme Unkei un apprenti du sculpteur Kōkei, et il se familiarisa jeune avec le naturalisme de l'école Kei. Il rivalisait en talent avec Unkei, si bien que les spécialistes supposent souvent une forme de rivalité entre les deux artistes. Avec les autres membres de l'école, il participa aux restaurations des grands temples de Nara détruits durant la guerre de Genpei. Il œuvra tout particulièrement au Tōdai-ji où il sculpta un des rois célestes (Shi Tennō) et le Kannon du Daibutsu-den (aujourd'hui perdus), les deux gardiens de la porte intérieure avec Jōkaku (Chū-mon, perdus) et participa à l'élaboration d'un des deux Niō de la grande porte sud (Nandaimon), exemple caractéristique du style réaliste Kei.

Après avoir maîtrisé la technique de l'école Kei, Kaikei explora de nombreux autres styles de sculpture à la fin du , notamment l'art Song. Dans cette recherche artistique, il essayait de former un art personnel et individuel qui répondait le mieux à son caractère. Le style qui en résulta, , est nommé An'amiyō, Anna-miyō ou Anami, en référence au bouddha Amitābha (Amida en japonais), car Kaikei était un fervent croyant de l'école amidiste Jōdo shū, un proche du moine Chōgen, et devint d'ailleurs moine plus tard. Novateur et unique, son art suscita aux alentours des années 1200-1210 de nombreux chefs-d'œuvre comme le Jizō et le Hachiman au Tōdai-ji, et influença ensuite divers artistes. Durant cette période, il ouvrit également son propre atelier de sculpture à Nara, bien que continuant à travailler pour l'école Kei.

Dans les dernières années de sa vie, Kaikei se consacra presque exclusivement aux représentations d'Amida, mais semble perdre un peu de sa force d'expression ; selon H. Mōri, le style An'amiyō était certainement très beau, frappant par son originalité au début, mais manquant peut-être d'intensité pour s'imposer dans le temps.

Il reçut les titres de hokkyō en 1203, puis de hōgen (second titre honorifique pour les busshi) en 1210, qui témoignent du grand succès qu'il rencontra de son vivant, en partie grâce à la popularité et la simplicité des sujets qu'il sculptait. Environ une vingtaine d'œuvres lui étant attribuées subsistent de nos jours.

Parmi ses principaux élèves figuraient Gyōkai, Eikai et Chōkai.

Styles Kei et An'amiyō

Bien que maîtrisant les arts réalistes de l'école Kei, Kaikei était de nature plus paisible que d'autres sculpteurs de l'école comme Unkei, et son style An'amiyō, qui s'appuie sur le réalisme, reflète ce caractère. Ses statues de plus petite taille expriment la grâce, l'élégance, la dignité, la sérénité, la beauté intellectuelle ; comme l'écrit H. Mōri, il s'agit d'un style « féminin » en opposition au style « viril » d'Unkei. L'artiste, , s'attachait avec minutie aux divers petits détails de ses œuvres.

Son style très personnel s'accompagnait d'un changement profond dans l'iconographie amidiste par rapport à ses contemporains, Kaikei traitant le sujet au moyen de petites statues debout, fines, formant le mudrā raigōin ; l'époque de Kamakura a en effet été marquée par une popularisation du bouddhisme de la Terre pure grâce à l'influence déterminante de moines comme Hōnen ainsi que des guerriers, nouveaux maîtres du Japon.

Un exemple caractéristique de son art est la représentation de Hachiman sous l'apparence d'un moine (trésor national, sanctuaire Hachiman au Tōdai-ji). Le kami shinto est représenté assis sur un piédestal en forme de fleur de lotus, une main levée tenant un sceptre (shakuzō), et la robe est richement décorée de motifs floraux à la peinture dorée (kindei). L'artiste s'intéresse à représenter la divinité sous une forme essentiellement humaine, où la forte présence idéalisée du dieu guerrier est . Le Jizō (Kōkei-dō au Tōdai-ji) montre quant à lui une expression de grâce, soulignée par le torse fin et le modelé brillant et minutieux de la robe.

Parmi ses premières œuvres encore très proches du style Kei demeurent la triade d'Amida au Jōdo-ji et les deux Niō (ou Kongō-rikishi, nommés Ungyō et Agyō) du Tōdai-ji. Ces derniers, parmi les exemples les plus représentatifs de l'école de nos jours, se caractérisent par le dynamismes et l'impression de mouvements, avec le corps fin, les muscles saillants, le drapé fluide et le visage farouche. Réalisés en environ deux mois, ils ont dû requérir la participation de nombreux assistants. La tradition attribue la direction de chaque Niō à Unkei (pour Ungyō) et Kaikei (pour Agyō) ; si les travaux récents remettent éventuellement en question leur rôle exact, la participation de Kaikei à la réalisation du Agyō reste certaine.

May be a bit of a long post this one but wanted to give a full background to the question.
Anyone here used to monitoring the power companies over the years on the nationwide trunknet on 139 and 140MHZ?
I monitored them for many years on these frequencies listening to their phone patch type transmissions mainly on 139MHz frequencies hearing them change metres and fix faults at sub stations and faulty meter call outs etc etc. They even ring their families some times on these radio phone patch type systems.
Its good to get an old user back. they refer to it as a PMR system and today they made a call and said "call me on the digital PMR radio" which got me thinking about the new JRC power wide area 154MHz system talked about in this thread https://ukradioscanning.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4931 about the new 154 MHz DMR Tier 3.
Now I am assuming that he meant this new system when he said "call me on the digital PMR radio" but I have been monitoring this new system and not spotted one voice transmission as of yet? If this new use of the old analogue system is going to die again soon and all go to this new DMR network I would like to follow it. I know shopwatch and security is what most like to hear but this line has always interested me.
Has anyone on here been monitoring the old 139MHz power frequencies or the new 154MHz ones? If so please let me know your findings or how you are getting on and any info about the new 154 system would be good.
Not 154, but in the Merseyside area I have heard a few transmissions including taxis, between 152 and 153 on DMR.

DCS 2Way Radio have quite a few licences within that range in Liverfool. Several dual freq Cap+ systems with taxis and transport companies being the main users.
Same company provide similar systems at higher freqs as well.
the one meg chunk from 139.5625 is still used by Utility companies except around London. Use seems to have increased in the last couple of years or so. It seems you can still collect 30+ 'sysid's (the wrong label as these aren't MPT1327 trunked systems really) from pretty much anywhere.
Mark5R wrote: Anyone here used to monitoring the power companies over the years on the nationwide trunknet on 139 and 140MHZ?
That band is just full of London buses round these parts for trunked voice and data. no voice power calls but there are power channel allocations that transmit trunking noises but no speech.
Within the M25 area the JRC band with odd utility company systems was released for iBus.
radio endpoint afilliated to one base station only.
the data slot transmissions reveal a SCADA polling protocol called DNP3.
the need arises in the future.
"I will ring you on the PMR system"
Can anyone shed any light on this....? Is the system hijacked as I know UHF military ones have so its not beyond the realms.... an old system got from an old power co car....> or a legit electric co worker using it to ringing his missus...?
Davie Boy it is probably legit I have heard the official users calling home they are allowed and yes it is known as the PMR system. As I said in the original post have heard these for years but they went quiet for a few years. It still is rare to hear them but its nice to see them using them again. I guess they are the old units they have had in their cars and vans for years?
Just to clarify guy's I said sarcomm were using the 152 MHz area 154 mhz seem's to all be tier 3 transmission's normaily but it's all data you hear as bigbloke stated .


We are going to review a detailed study produced by Boeing and Airbus on commercial aviation.
We will begin with some of the reasons that explain the increase in commercial flights. The study of Asia is considered vital in the coming decades as it is one of the fastest growing continents in this regard. One of the main reasons for this is the growth of the middle class with enough purchasing power to fly – this middle class is leaving rural areas to go to cities, entailing the growth of a population with greater purchasing power and opportunities. In fact, it is expected that two thirds of the world's middle class will be located in the Asia-Pacific region by 2030. We must keep the Asian market in mind when it comes to finding employment as an airline pilot, given the need for new professionals in this region.
In fact, according to Boeing, over the following two decades the global demand for aviation professionals will be as follows: Asia-Pacific with 226,000 pilots and 238,000 technicians. Europe with 95,000 pilots and 101,000 technicians. North America with 95,000 pilots and 113,000 technicians. Latin America with 47,000 pilots and 47,000 technicians. The Middle East with 60,000 pilots and 66,000 technicians. Africa with 18,000 pilots and 22,000 technicians. And Russia and the CIS with 17,000 pilots and 22,000 technicians. Careers in aviation are expected to be one of the most in-demand over the coming years.

This year a Global Market Forecast focused on the figures for the future of commercial aviation. The study was carried out by economists and Airbus data analysts who study current evaluation forecasts and relevant data channels. Based on these data findings and applying these figures as effectively as possible, their intention is to improve the reliability and validity of the analytics carried out by Airbus to obtain reliable forecasts where important factors such as the world economy enter. A fundamental aspect is to verify and question the methodologies used with the analytics carried out against the real figures on passengers and airlines. In this way, a realistic vision of the growth of air traffic over the next 20 years can be constructed, backed by rigorous data, comprehensive graphs and knowledge about the industry. These results in figures represent a future reality regarding the growth of passengers, aircraft and air traffic around the world, which will enhance the growth of infrastructure and investment in aviation.
These analyses and data paint a promising outlook for the future and will condition the choice of piloting as a career path, which can be pursued by studying a commercial aircraft pilot course, a private pilot course or an airline transport pilot course.
GLOBAL GROWTH OF PASSENGERS, FLIGHTS AND AIRCRAFT DELIVERIES.
ANALYSIS OF THE ESTIMATED INCREASE OF AIRCRAFT DELIVERIES GLOBALLY, ESTIMATED UNTIL 2034. STUDY PERFORMED BY AIRBUS.
One Air Group training school only uses state-of-the-art aircraft. Most technologically advanced with Garmin 1000 instrumentation, our aircraft are used for the practical training phase in the commercial pilot course, the private pilot course, the airline transport pilot course and the light aircraft pilot course. These pilot courses are held entirely at Málaga International Airport. This gives an added value to the experience and learning of the airport routines, which is also something very valued by airlines.
A Global Market Forecast focused on the future figures of aviation has been made this year by Airbus economists and data analysts who study current and evaluation forecasts and relevant data channels. They have based their research upon finding these data and using these figures in the most effective way with the intention of improving the reliability and validity of analytics performed by Airbus to obtain accurate forecasts where factors such as the world economy are taken into account. A fundamental part is to check and question the methodologies used with the analytics carried out against the actual figures of passengers and airlines. In this way, a realistic vision about the growth of air transport for the next 20 years is identified, backed by rigorous data, comprehensive charts and the industry know-how. These results in figures of what will become a reality in the growth of passengers, aircraft and air traffic worldwide will boost the growth of aviation infrastructure and the investment made on it.
These analyzes and data are promising for the future and are the ones which determine the choice of the Aircraft Pilot career, being able to take the commercial aircraft pilot course, the private pilot course or the transport airline pilot course.
Get your aircraft pilot professional license with our training courses: Commercial Pilot License (CPL); Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL); Private Pilot License (PPL); and Commercial Pilot License (CPL).
Specifically, for the commercial pilot course you will take 150 hours of flight besides the theoretical subjects related to it, both things compulsory conditions to get the license and the accreditation that makes the student a professional commercial pilot (CPL).
You can also get this license by means of a modular training. This means that you will be able to pass the required tests one by one, thus getting your commercial pilot license (CPL) at the end of the process.
Different factors announce which areas of the planet will be the epicenters of commercial aviation in the coming years. Students of a pilot course should take this information into account in order to think about those destinations as the places where they could find their next job as a professional pilot. In the Asian region, an increase in commercial aviation and job vacancies for aircraft pilots is expected.
If you are currently a student or are thinking about taking a course at a pilot school, you should know that Asia is a region where pilots are needed and where job offers for airline pilots will be increasing in the coming decades. And, what are the reasons that have led this populated region to be the great hope of commercial aviation? The high number of its population is, undoubtedly, one of its reasons. But there are more.
The increase in the release of airspace in countries such as China expected for the coming decades will certainly help increase connections with new destinations and the number of international flights between different cities. At present, only 20% of this space is used, as military aviation controls the rest. Airlines such as China Eastern, Air China or China Southern have long demanded an increase in airspace that is expected to continue to open in the coming years. Thus, this is a chance to be able to work within this economic giant.
Another fact is the increase of low-cost airlines throughout Asia. These airlines have increased their presence in international flights besides the regional destinations they worked. This other reason is evidenced by the need for greater global communications by the population in an increasingly global world.

Q: DataGridView Alignment I have a datagridview that gets its properties in a database. My problem is how will I set like DataGridViewContentAlignment.variable? Where variable is either MiddleRight, MiddleCenter etc etc.
This is the code for datagridview alignment:
dgv.Columns[0].DefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleRight;
And I want something like this:
dgv.Columns[0].DefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MyVariable;

A: DataGridViewContentAlignment  is an enumeration
To store an enum value e.g. in a DMBS you can cast it to int and back.
Example:
DataGridViewContentAlignment dca1 = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;

int dcai = (int)dca1;  // 32

DataGridViewContentAlignment dca2 = (DataGridViewContentAlignment)dcai;

I am a very curious and passionate person about learning how to play different instruments and truthfully living music. I feel music to be the expression of my soul and happiness of my mind. I empirically learn about music but also took lessons with highly recognized musicians who guide me during my learning process.
I will be posting updates about my progress in every instrument I am learning and I also will be sharing with you key points, experiences and shortcuts I learnt during my whole life in music interpretation. I will be blogging the most I can about my experience, difficulties and learning techniques for each instrument.


Soneson C, Fontes M, Zhou Y, Denisov V, Paulsen JS, Kirik D and Petersén A; The Huntington Study Group PREDICT-HD investigators.
Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Lund University, Sweden; Brain Repair and Imaging in Neural Systems, Department of Experimental Medical Science, BMC D11, Lund University, Sweden; Lund University Bioimaging Center, Lund University, Sweden.
Huntington disease (HD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded CAG repeat. Its length can be used to estimate the time of clinical diagnosis, which is defined by overt motor symptoms. Non-motor symptoms begin before motor onset, and involve changes in hypothalamus-regulated functions such as sleep, emotion and metabolism. Therefore we hypothesized that hypothalamic changes occur already prior to the clinical diagnosis. We performed voxel-based morphometry and logistic regression analyses of cross-sectional MR images from 220 HD gene carriers and 75 controls in the Predict-HD study. We show that changes in the hypothalamic region are detectable before clinical diagnosis and that its grey matter contents alone is sufficient to distinguish HD gene carriers from control cases. In conclusion, our study shows, for the first time, that alterations in grey matter contents in the hypothalamic region occur at least a decade before clinical diagnosis in HD using MRI.


Science is made more relevant to children's needs by being taught through themed units in each term. The different themes and focusses aim to develop children's knowledge and understanding of the physical world, its processes and of living things. Children engage in practical learning which utilises the local environment, for example by examining plants and living things in the school grounds and wild area or through visits to the school forest. Children take part in tree planting programmes, science and technology days and educational visits to off-site resources such as nature parks and the sea shore which support their learning in science and the wider curriculum.
In their Reception years children develop their scientific knowledge and understanding of the world through play and exploration which is linked to the termly themes.

English is an easy language to learn, but most of us face a difficulty in speaking the language. Each learner may have problems in different aspects of English. For example, some people might struggle with writing in English, while others might find pronunciation quite difficult. However, it is absolutely normal to come across problems when you are learning English and those problems can be easily overcome. All that you have to do is to recognize your problem and patiently solve them. You will eventually get over this. Remember, no problem is too big and there are a lot of solutions available for you.
For instance, if you want to improve your English speaking skills, you can find people who speak English and do speak with them in English, in order to become fluent. You can try this as well and your English skills will be improved considerably in a very short amount of time!
It is important to be patient and determined when learning a new language. Learning is a never ending process, so do not give up too quickly.
When it comes to fluency, you think you will acquire it in a matter of time. But speaking and knowing the language are two different things. One of the best tips for overcoming this challenge is to communicate with English speakers. It is not necessary to speak with native speakers, but you can talk in English with your friends. Although, talking with English speakers can be fun, entertaining, and educationally beneficial,it will also help you in building your confidence and proficiency. When you speak with native English speakers, you are able to practice your language skills with fluency, which allows you to improve your English.
When you hear your friends speaking in English or your boss or peers conversing in this language or when you hear from native speakers, you get confused. The slang which they use is a different one. You can watch English television programs and listen to radio stations. Although you might not understand every word that is spoken, but regular watching and listening will help you to understand the conversations with the tone and the usage of slang in them.
Generally, the English text that appears on the page and the way it is pronounced and delivered are different. While you are learning English, you might have surely faced this. One way to overcome this challenge is to participate in a range of speech related learning activities. You can make use of the internet and find online speaking and listening activities, where participants can listen and then use small sentences to speak. You can also watch English movies without subtitles. You will start to process the information much faster and it is a very good exercise.
These simple methods can help you tackle the biggest obstacles while learning English. You can join a Spoken English course and improve your skills much faster.

It defies the conventional pickup segment with a configurable rear bed.
To this point, you may already have had enough of pickup designs, with all the latest ones that previously appeared in the market. Nonetheless, there should be enough room for this one right here. Volkswagen may soon be a contender in the modern compact pickup segment with a strikingly well-designed entry badged as the Tarok. The German pickup concept is currently on display at the Sao Paulo International Motor Show.
Earlier this year, news about Ford and Volkswagen planning to work together circulated the internet. Both companies are told to be looking forward in developing commercial vehicles together. Now that Volkswagen launched a pickup concept, we initially thought it could be a good candidate for this project. Unfortunately, unlike other pickup trucks, the Tarok won't be based on a ladder-frame chassis. To put it clearly, the Tarok is a compact pickup truck and it will be based on the Tiguan platform. You may now erase the image of a Ranger-based Volkswagen hauler in your mind because that's not the case here.
In terms of the design, we can't deny the fact that this thing is exactly how a "good-looking pickup truck" would look like – even when we know that beauty is subjective. It's got a long streak of LED light spanning from one headlight, passing to the emblem, and onto the other headlight. Even the bumper side vents also have LED surrounding lights on them. The thing is that it does not veer far from how the latest VW cars look like, which is great for establishing an identity in the market.
The Tarok concept features a two-tone paint finish with a blacked-out roof that incorporates a targa-inspired roof bar as its C-pillar. This gives it a youthful vibe and adds to its appeal. Apparently, aesthetics isn't the only business of the Tarok. Beyond the fact of having a targa C-pillar, the compact pickup truck features a foldable cab rear panel, which extends the loading area further inside the second-row seats. This helps the truck to attain a maximum load of around 1,000 kg.
A techy, car-like interior gives 'comfort in pickup trucks' a whole new meaning. Elements such as a color-keyed Cypress Metallic crossbar along the dashboard panel, glass-covered infotainment system, and digital climate controls and entertainment system are what highlight the cabin. All displays and controls are accessed using a single visual and operational axis on the center console so the driver won't have to look at multiple areas in the cockpit while driving.
Pop up the hood and you'll see a 1.4-liter four-cylinder TSI engine that's capable of producing 148 hp. This mill is paired to a six-speed automatic transmission and a permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive powertrain. Meanwhile, the Tarok may have a potential to carry in a 2.0-liter turbo diesel TSI engine in some markets, which has the same power output as the gasoline one.
On a much closer perspective, we could only hope that once this Tarok truck is already out there, the chance of it being brought to the Philippine market is high enough to put a smile up on our faces. There is a favored popularity for pickup trucks in the country and if the price on this one hits the bull's eye, the only missing on this vehicle is melting butter and overflowing maple syrup because this one could potentially sell like hotcakes.

The Incumbents
The advowson of Forncett [the right to present a nominee for the post of rector] was purchased in 1725 by Dr Rowland Hill, who bequeathed it to St John's College, Cambridge, whose Fellows occupied the living subsequently. In 1845 the parish was declared to be in duality, so that Forncett St Peter Church and Forncett St Mary Church had separate rectors, until this was revoked in 1905, when the Rev J E Cooper took on both parishes and then after his retirement the Rev T J Bentley. Forncett St Peter was ministered to by Rev W Grieve Wilson from 1845 to 1895, who undertook considerable refurbishment and repair to the fabric.

Pendle Town Hall
Smart use of technology as part of a digital transformation effort is leading to better citizen engagement at Pendle Borough Council, claims the Town Hall.
In headline terms that's translating to a lot more use of online services by its 90,000 residents, says its website co-ordinator, Kathryn Halton - and for her boss Dean Langton, Chief Executive of Pendle Borough Council, that also means:
We have seamless processing of requests, real time data and transparency, which makes a world of a difference to the residents of our Borough.
For example, since the introduction of its new system the total number of physical visits by Council Tax payers to its contact centre has dropped from an average of 2,000 per month up to August of last year to less than 100. Pendle has also seen the amount of snail mail it has to put out concerning its revenues and benefits work cut in a similarly dramatic fashion - by 50% between March 2017 and March of this year.
All that's down to more service users opting to use online self-service, says Halton, adding that in 2016 only 17% of interactions with residents was via cyberspace - a figure that's now shot up to 51%.
Striking numbers: but what makes the rapid leap this small Lancastrian council's making into e-government even more notable is the fact that it has a relatively high digital exclusion indicator of five, which means it ranks as 'medium' on the scale of citizen ability to access basic online products and services.
For Halton, accessibility is a key metric in terms of judging the success - or not - of Pendle's achievement, as,
Digital exclusion is a really important measurement to keep in mind when on a digital journey. It's all well and good developing digital services and processes, but customers have to be able to use them. But our channel shift figures are looking pretty good. We know we're going in the right direction. And another interesting stat is that when we look month-by-month at who is accessing our site and how, we're about 61% access now by mobile and tablet.
Halton told diginomica government that Pendle has embraced digital so aggressively due to perceived user demand for more effective service delivery, which could only work if any new online services her team offered were "efficient and effective".
Central inspiration
Halton says that when the decision was taken to move more services online, she drew a lot of her initial inspiration from what she saw being achieved at the central government level with the rebuild of Whitehall's main website:
I'd followed the progress of GOV.UK with a lot of interest, and sort of modelled a content strategy based on the work [the team there] was doing.
But there was still a lot of work that needed to be done, she admits:
We had a lot of online forms on the front end, so customers could at least request services from us - but we didn't have a digital strategy or overall game plan: once customers hit 'send', the digital experience ended, and the human interaction one began. Forms went around the authority as emails, and there was a lot of rekeying. There was no integration at all with the backend and no workflow put in place.
Halton also told us there were numerous links at the back end to inefficient and hard-to-use third party systems which needed to bd swapped out. There was also, she states, a complete lack of integration between the council's online forms package and online payments system.
Finally, there was no online account for the customer, so no way for them to find out what had happened once they had completed a form. All this inefficiency only started to go away, she believes, once the council implemented a new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system which has to not just better link that disconnected front and back office, but which could also give service users the ability to transact online, track service requests and receive automated notifications when service statuses changed.
That's been achieved via use of software called Continuum CXM (Customer Experience Management) from a supplier called Jadu, which was selected and implemented with the aid of its implementation partner, Liberata, with which it has been working since 2005.
For Halton, this CRM platform was an attractive solution for the authority, as its underling design philosophy meant she and her team could quickly become productive:
For the first service we developed, for Bulky Waste, [the company] did most of the development and our staff watched, learned and got involved a little bit - but for the second, Garden Waste, our staff took on more of the development work and worked with Jadu.
"That's the beauty of a low-code platform. We have the power, knowledge and skills to develop and deploy - vital for councils with limited budgets. We want to encourage as many people as possible to use our online services.
So what are the next steps in this local government digital transformation Odyssey? For Halton, it has to be more of the same - getting more and more of the council's work done digitally by preference:
We want to look at delivering the next set of high volume service requests - so things such as gardening services and pest control services. We also want to ensure that two-way communication is automated as far as possible - that service updates are pushed from our internal systems back out to the customer.
We also want to look at our internal processes where there are escalations based around time and workflows or complaints processes, for example managing subject access request for GDPR, Freedom of Information requests and that sort of thing.
We want to encourage as many people as possible to use our online services. We recognise that for some of our customers that could be difficult, so we want to continue to tackle digital exclusion as well.
