Street Camouflage: Dressing up in other peoples clothes then passing unnoticed in a public place.
Street Camouflage is an un-extreme sport. Quite unlike extreme ironing. It's a sport for subversives rather than exhibitionists.
Secret: do not publish (verbally or otherwise) that you partake in this sport.
'Outing': wearing one or more items of some-one-elses clothes in a public place for at least 6 hours.
Permission: Secure the current clothes-owners permission to wear them.
Secret II: If the clothes owner guesses your motives you must attempt to gain their promise not to publish your participation in this sport.
Different: clothes must not resemble anything in your current wardrobe.
Exposed: clothes must be visible (underwear doesn't generally count).
Contra-aspirational: clothes should not be something you would consider purchasing for yourself . Don't borrow stuff because you 'like' it.
comments like 'you look nice in that', or 'i haven't seen you wear that before' are acceptable. With the latter question you are morally obliged to ask follow-on questions to establish whether you have effectively passed this item of clothes off as being one of your own.
Honest: answer questions about the clothes honestly. If you are asked 'is it yours?' then you have failed to obtain street camouflage with this item.
Respectful: Return the clothes in the same condition that you received them.
Creative: themed outings are encouraged. For example you might introduce a season with a 1970's theme, a 'Sports' theme, which-ever seems most distant from your normal couture.
Ageless: street camouflage is so safe that people of any age can participate in this sport.
If you are considering taking up the sport competitively you should keep a Blog with photographic evidence of the clothes, grouped by themes. Identify your successes and failures and what you've learned from them. Use a suitable sport-relevant psuedonym for your Blog. Help new-comers to the sport by including 'tips and tricks'.
The difficult thing is getting clothes without increasing the number of people that know you do this. But you'd be surprised what people keep in their closets. Even more surprised by how happy they are to show you then lend you things because of your genuine interest. My biggest success was a Gothic theme. I really dislike morbid clothes and black especially. It was tough to do. Evidently I've just got the right physique and complexion for Gothic. No-one challenged me. I had to be careful about progressing to some of the more horrendous outfits that included crosses and fake spider-webbing. I have to thank the clothes owner for generously lending clothes that were very special to him. My biggest mistake was thinking I could pull off wearing a pink tutu in a Shopping Mall.
I'll be publishing the rest of this interview later in the summer. Please feel free to use the comments section below to add links to your own Street Camouflage Blogs and questions you'd like me to ask 'Dis Guys' to extend the interview.

Q: Short story with anthropomorphic rats, deadly addictive drug, noir crime setting: Spoiler alert Seeking a pre-1980 (I believe) fantasy short story about crime and redemption. It's written in the style of a gritty police procedural with the moral overtones of a classic detective story. The drug in question is overwhelmingly addictive with only one exposure and can corrupt even the most honorable people. The villain is a sentient, talking, rat crime boss/dealer, It's never made clear how these rodents evolved or if they always have been present in this universe, I remember reading it a couple of times to try to figure it out, without success.

  The good cop who gets addicted overcomes the drug long enough to get the bad guy. The moral: This is what it means to be an honorable human versus a rat.

A: Perhaps "Rat" by James Patrick Kelly from 1986?
From the link:

Rat is a criminal, a drug runner and murderer. He is selfish, amoral,
vindictive. Yet the reader gets caught up in his plight and begins to
empathize with him for two reasons. One is that stories do that to us:
putting even a despicable character in the role of protagonist and
filtering events through that character's perceptions automatically
slants our responses toward that character, even against our moral
judgment. The way the story is set up seduces us into rooting for Rat
to get home, to outwit his pursuers, to make his score. The other
reason is that Rat is not a person but an animal, literally a rat, and
everything he does is consistent with rat behavior: stealing, hiding,
killing, surviving.

Artificial intelligence is not one thing, but many, spanning several schools of thought. In his book The Master Algorithm, Pedro Domingos calls them the tribes of AI.
As the University of Washington computer scientist explains, each tribe fashions what would seem to be very different technology. Evolutionists, for example, believe they can build AI by recreating natural selection in the digital realm. Symbolists spend their time coding specific knowledge into machines, one rule at a time.
Right now, the connectionists get all the press. They nurtured the rise of deep neural networks, the pattern recognition systems reinventing the likes of Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. But whatever the press says, the other tribes will play their own role in the rise of AI.
Take Ben Vigoda, the CEO and founder of Gamalon. He's a Bayesian, part of the tribe that believes in creating AI through the scientific method. Rather than building neural networks that analyze data and reach conclusions on their own, he and his team use probabilistic programming, a technique in which they start with their own hypotheses and then use data to refine them. His startup, backed by Darpa, emerged from stealth mode this morning.
Gamalon's tech can translate from one language to another, and the company is developing tools that businesses can use to extract meaning from raw streams of text. Vigoda claims his particular breed of probabilistic programming can produce AI that learns more quickly than neural networks, using much smaller amounts of data. "You can be very careful about what you teach it," he says, "and can edit what you've taught it."
As others point out, an approach along these lines is essential to the rise of machines capable of truly thinking like humans. Neural networks require enormous amounts of carefully labelled data, and this isn't always available. Vigoda even goes so far as to say that his techniques will replace neural networks completely, in all applications. "That is very, very clear," he says.
But just as deep learning isn't the only way to artificial intelligence, neither is probabilistic programming. Or Gaussian processes. Or evolutionary computation. Or reinforcement learning.
Sometimes, the AI tribes badmouth each other. Sometimes, they play up their technology at the expense of the others. But the reality is that AI will rise from many technologies working together. Despite the competition, everyone is working toward the same goal.
Probabilistic programming lets researchers build machine learning algorithms more like coders build computer programs. But the real power of the technique lies in its ability to deal with uncertainty. This can allow AI to learn from less data, but it can also help researchers understand why an AI reaches particular decisions—and more easily tweak the AI if they don't agree with those decisions. True AI will need all that, whether it powers a chatbot trying to carry on a human-like conversation or an autonomous car trying to avoid an accident.
But neural networks have proven their worth with, among other things, image and speech recognition, and they're not necessarily in competition with techniques like probabilistic programming. In fact, Google researchers are building systems that combine the two. Their strengths complement one another. "Deep neural networks and probabilistic models are closely related," says David Blei, a Columbia University computer scientist and an advisor to Gamalon who has worked with Google research on these types of mixed models. "There's a lot of probabilistic modeling happening inside neural networks."
Inevitably, the best AI will combine several technologies. Take AlphaGo, the breakthrough system built by Google's DeepMind lab. It combined neural networks with reinforcement learning and other techniques. Blei, for one, doesn't see a world of tribes. "It doesn't exist for me," he says. He sees a world in which everyone is reaching for the same master algorithm.

A4E CEOs lay out priorities in first meeting with EU Transport Commissioner ahead of Green Deal strategy publication
In their first meeting with new EU Transport Commissioner Adina-Iona Vălean, A4E CEOs - joined by their newest member, TUI - laid out their most pressing priorities for the new Commission mandate.
These priorities include:
Close collaboration with industry on climate change goals;
Incentives and investments for sustainability investments instead of new taxes on aviation;
Urgent reform of Europe's outdated air traffic management system and completion of the Single European Sky initiative, which would reduce Europe's carbon emissions by 10 per cent.
Urgent revision of Regulation 261 on Air Passenger Rights.
In order to best contribute to the European Commission's upcoming Green Deal strategy, A4E and other airlines have joined forces with Europe's airports, manufacturers and air navigation service providers in the development of a cross-sector climate initiative. Run as an independent study, this sustainable aviation roadmap for Europe will identify opportunities for even greater industry decarbonisation, whether through technology, operations, sustainable aviation fuels or price incentives by 2030 and/or by 2050.
"The new European Commission has begun its work at a time of enormous challenges, but also tremendous opportunities for both the EU and its aviation industry. A4E airlines stand behind Europe's ambition to move towards a zero or low-carbon economy. Europe's airlines take these goals very seriously and we are investing billions to more than contribute our share. We also know that this is an industry challenge which requires an industry solution, and we believe our sustainability roadmap will show us where we can do even more", said Michael O'Leary, A4E Chairman.
Europe's airlines have already reduced their fuel consumption per passenger kilometer by 24% over the last 30 years by flying more fuel-efficient aircraft, and by making their overall operations more efficient. A4E airlines are currently investing €170 billion through 2030 to operate the most fuel-efficient, next generation aircraft.
The right combination of policies, incentives and investments at both the European and national levels will ultimately best support the aviation industry's decarbonization efforts. Sustainable aviation fuels, for example, have the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 80%.
"It is critical that industry works in close partnership with the EU institutions if we are to be successful in fulfilling Europe's climate ambitions -- whether it be on a dedicated policy for increased sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production at an economically affordable price, or by implementing the Single European Sky, which would save 10% in CO2 emissions. Aviation taxes do nothing for the environment. On the contrary, they limit airlines' ability to invest in new aircraft, innovation and sustainable fuels", said Thomas Reynaert, Managing Director, Airlines for Europe (A4E).
Since 2012, European airlines have been paying for their carbon emissions through the EU carbon trading scheme. From 2021, they will also be part of the UN global offsetting mechanism named CORSIA, which will reduce aviation emissions by 2.5 billion tonnes between 2020 and 2035 through €36 billion ($40 billion) investment in carbon reduction projects1.
"We are also very proud to welcome TUI -- the world's largest tourism group, into the A4E family at this crucial time for our industry. TUI will strengthen A4E's joint advocacy efforts in a number of key areas – including sustainability, where they will serve as a vital, in-house link between airline and sustainable tourism policy goals", O'Leary added.
"We are looking forward to working with A4E on the very important policy issues that all airlines and tourism partners in Europe face. At TUI we have thousands of employees working in holiday destinations across Southern Europe and around the world and see each day the positive impact that the travel industry has on jobs and growth in these tourism-dependent regions. Together, we need to do our utmost to support healthy, sustainable and environmentally responsible growth for our industry which connects so many people and cultures. This should be supported by European policy makers so that rather than inventing new or additional taxes we allow this money to be invested in innovative and sustainable technologies", said Kenton Jarvis, CEO TUI Aviation.

Hip, knee and shoulder pain affects an average of one in three French people. What does it mean to have joints hurt? How to cure it ? Overview of herbal medicine and its benefits on the joints.
Fragile parts of our skeleton, the joints are bone structures whose function is to connect the bones to each other. They facilitate movement thanks to the cartilage, a protective layer serving as a natural bulwark against shocks. Cartilage wear can cause local inflammation that causes pain in the joints.
How does joint pain manifest?
Constantly solicited, we carry little or no attention to the joints, until the first pains appear: sensations of stiffness, joints blocked, difficulties to bend down or up the stairs ... A weak cartilage usually leads to a series of diseases called "Rheumatism" that can affect different parts of the body. These may be due to aging of the body or simply to climate change, physical effort unsuitable or overweight. If anti-inflammatory drugs generally calm joint pain, it is strongly recommended to make permanent use of it. In this case, the best remedy is herbal medicine, that is to say the plant therapy.
Some plants can reduce pain, others treat cartilage.
Often used in Mediterranean cuisine, this aromatic and medicinal plant has the ability to act as a natural anti-inflammatory. This is due to its ursolic acid composition, which effectively fights infections in the cartilage, without causing any side effects. Be careful however, the essential oil of rosemary is prohibited to pregnant or breastfeeding women and children under 8 years.
This plant is very often used in Mediterranean cuisine, it raises dishes and gives them a powerful taste and aroma. Thyme is known for its digestive and antiseptic virtues, yet it has another power; that of fortifying the joints thanks to its calcium content. Moreover 100g of dried thyme, there is 1890 mg of calcium.
Originally from South Asia, this spice is renowned for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antioxidant properties. It effectively repairs the areas of our body damaged by infections and detoxifies tissues. Other benefits: Turmeric tends to reduce cholesterol and stimulates digestion by promoting biliary secretion.
Used since ancient times, ginger is one of the most famous medicinal plants for its digestive properties and its ability to reduce the pain caused by rheumatism. In 2007, the University of Arizona demonstrated that gingerol, the main component of ginger, helps fight the production of inflammatory chemicals.
Boil water and add the herbs mentioned above. Let it steep for about five minutes over low heat. Then remove the mixture from the heat and let stand a few minutes before placing in the fridge. You can add a spoonful of honey to your brew to soften the taste.
We recommend drinking one cup on an empty stomach in the morning and another before going to bed at night. Soon you will be able to notice the alleviation of pain.
Sage is contraindicated in pregnant or lactating women because it makes the lactation dry up. Its use is prohibited for people with epilepsy and kidney failure.
The medicinal use of thyme should generally not exceed 3 weeks. The essential oil is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding and in children under 3 years.

Politicians' Attacks On Thanksgiving Gatherings Are Not 'Data-Based,' Epidemiologists Say
Epidemiologists say that small gatherings among family and friends are not driving surging cases of COVID-19, contradicting many recent claims by political leaders and public health experts.
As American prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, politicians and others have ratcheted up rhetoric against family gatherings, accusing such events of being the main spreaders of the coronavirus. Epidemiologists studying the disease say there is little evidence to back up such claims, however, according to The New York Times.
"Somebody says something, and somebody else says it, and then it just becomes truth," Harvard University infectious disease expert Julia Marcus told the Times. "I worry about this narrative that doesn't yet seem to be data-based."
Epidemiologists say that many heavy-handed regulations, such as an order last week from Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz banning people from separate households from meeting outside, run contrary to the data and are breeding resentment among Americans who cannot square such orders with other activities still allowed. Vermont Republican Gov. Phil Scott has barred neighbors from meeting outside, but allows them to dine together at a restaurant.
"If people are going to meet up, doing so outdoors is probably the lowest-risk way to do it," University of Toronto infectious disease modeler Ashleigh Tuite said. "Telling people they can't spend time safely outdoors isn't a rational approach. People are going to recognize that and push back."
"If you're an average person looking at what's allowed and what's not allowed, it may not make a lot of sense," she added. "I can get together with nine of my best friends and sit around a table at a restaurant. So why can't I do that in my house?"
Governors and public health experts have stuck by cracking down on Americans' Thanksgiving plans, despite the fact that backyard celebrations and family dinners are not the primary driver of coronavirus infections. In Los Angeles, city officials have mandated that all restaurants in the city shut down during what is one of the busiest weeks of the year.
"As we modify our Thanksgiving holiday celebrations, we are reminded of the many families who will miss their loved ones who have passed away from COVID-19. We send wishes for healing and peace," Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said in a statement Sunday. "The persistent high number of cases requires additional safety measures that limit mixing in settings where people are not wearing masks."
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo drew vicious blowback after it was revealed he intended to celebrate Thanksgiving with his mother after warning New Yorkers about having family over for the holiday. He later canceled his plans to spend the holiday with his mother after the public backlash.
"Your family sounds safe, doesn't it? Your home sounds safe. Your dining room table at Thanksgiving sounds safe. This is a safe environment. I'll be safe. No, you won't be safe. It's an illusion," Cuomo said during a press conference last week. "My sister loves me. My sister could infect me. Not maliciously, but accidentally. It's counter-intuitive, what I thought was the safest place and the safest situation in my home at my table with my family. It can't be any safer than that. That's the dangerous situation."

Art Voices: New Politics
For the second installment of Art Voices, our collaborative content project with Red Bull Arts, we're exploring the theme of New Politics. Contemporary zeitgeist swirls around the how and why of the tumultuous political climate that has taken hold across the world. But as we move through this era, it is important to remember that politics ebbs and flows. This isn't the first and won't be the last time that differences fracture nations.
We baking these ideas down into two questions that assess how a diverse, creative field think about contemporary and future political issues. Read on to hear from Elizabeth Dee, Anton Kern, Alan Belcher, Howardena Pindell, Bill Cournoyer, and Max Schulman about New Politics.
Text-Image-1
Elizabeth Dee
RBA: What do you envision the role of the arts and the art world to be in this turbulent political time?
IND: How do we as individuals combat the inequalities and disparities we see within our field?
In many ways, uncertain political times bring about innovation in art. Now is the time to question the status quo, the politics of our world and the politics of our field.
There certainly is a lot to talk about and respond to. Particularly the art world's economic disparity generally, and in relation to gender and racial inequality. We have real issues to face if we want to change things for the better.
We also have to face now key questions if we want to preserve the best and highest uses of gallery culture. Solutions are needed to build the future collector base. The fairs and galleries must work together on this.
I do actively question what the larger commercial art world's goals are now and in the long term. I seek to bring this discussion forward whenever I have the opportunity to be heard. I find it surprising, still after two decades of being in the art world, that the field is traditionally so conservative-because we are in art, we should be ahead of everything.
Anton Kern
Founder of Anton Kern Gallery
If you meant that, whether art needs to make a political statement, I would say it can and it should, especially, as you put it, "in today's volatile times." That doesn't mean that I like political art. From the perspective of the "future" it is important to look back at art and to be able to put it into the context of when it was made -- its meaning, how views are expressed, not in a demagogic way but freely. But that alone (art as evidence of the spirit of the moment) does not make good art. I expect more.
Alan Belcher is a contemporary visual artist based in Toronto. He was co-founder and co-director of Gallery Nature Morte with artist Peter Nagy in New York's East Village from 1982-88.
Art must boldly forge ahead in this period when the political World spins backwards. Instead of retracting head in sand with a default to face-value art evasive of meaning and in denial of any previous timeline (which unfortunately seems 'de rigueur'), one would believe creatives and their facilitators would champion content and layering with a healthy embrace of participation in the art historical. The disastrous tailspin into a culture of fake truths and fly-over fact-checking would dictate that creative endeavors should at least be respectful of predecessors and aspire to an adventure of development. Current predominance of pedestrian modes of retro-Figuration and the slap-dash of cut-n-paste collage has stepped the culture into reverse, and has stripped gears.
There must be a resistance and legion to defend against sensational knee-jerk artistic responses to selfish populism and crook politics —sloganeering in oil, acrylic, mirror, or neon which would function ideally and simply enough on the chest of a T-shirt should not be encouraged (or Instagrammed !).
And speaking of Biennials, and their accompanied Instagram-baiting installations; this is the time to seriously celebrate bodies of work in support of dynamic artists, and not default to competitive one-off selfie-settings. With that in mind, the burgeoning notion of reality-show art-prize competitions (usually ageist and with regional quotas) only pits artists against other artists (apples & oranges), and in this age of populism nothing would seem more misguided or inappropriate.
Let's talk ageism. A decided short-sighted concentration on those artists referred to as 'Emerging' should be called out for what it is —prospecting. For those miners of the minors, that gold is for fools.
A viewer's verve for discovery can be satisfied by a creative of any generation. The notion that those of youth hold a unique destination is a fallacy. All artists are able to participate in the culture of 'The New' regardless of birth. To continually suck on youth to the extent of systematically putting older blood out to pasture is a vampire activity. To sample green sprouts in hopes of piggy-backing a bus shows a distinct disregard for the life cycle of art —to nurture creative endeavor is a continual investment and responsibility.
And on the other side of the spectrum, those whose choice is to now chase seniors with their looming estates in mind are equally irresponsible and abhorrent in their transparency.

Trump does not appear to be interested in culture, which is helpful as we can hopefully avoid his targeting us with his hatred, dishonesty and confusion . We can be more supportive of one another and try not to allow this current political climate get us down. We have our vote to speak for all of us in the arts. The fear is that our vote will not count because of dishonesty, gerrymandering, "faulty" voting equipment and hacking. We must keep working in spite of the turmoil. It seems like there is something "new" everyday to be concerned about. I try to keep informed by going to the democracynow.org website to get a progressive and truthful analysis of the current news. I look for commentary by Noam Chomsky on Democracynow.org. They have transcripts of interviews. I also listen to MSNBC and CNN on cable while I am working.I encourage contacting your congressperson and expressing your concerns.
Stay alert to what is going on and encourage museums, galleries and art publications to be more diverse. People of color have been left out for so long especially First Nation artists. Although it appears to be improving, it could be more diverse.
Executive Director of Printed Matter, Inc.
I feel it is critical that we in the various art worlds have a firm understanding that the current turbulent political times did not start with—nor will they end with—the Trump administration. Until the systemic roots of the daily political outrages are confronted and challenged, we can't expect to effect meaningful change. While I welcome the heightened political consciousness inspired by these outrages, I am worried that many in the art communities get their information and find solace in the seemingly sympathetic mainstream liberal media—which I see to be a part of the architecture of hierarchy, privilege and oppression, and which must be likewise critiqued and confronted. Because the arts are intrinsically situated in the realm of communication, it is in a unique position—indeed, I feel is obliged—to take this challenge on.
Of course the inequalities and disparities we see within our field are reflections of our society at large, and it is not as individuals, but rather through education and collective action that we can hope to combat them. I think it is critical to understand that discrimination and exclusion based on ethnicity, race, gender, sexual identity, and other marginalized social groups are intrinsically intertwined with historic and ongoing class conflict and struggle. The Art World (capitalized and singular) is a multi-billion dollar industry that is essentially aligned with institutional capitalist power. While there is no social space that is purely outside of the prevailing power configurations, and that it is essential to recognize our participation—and even complicity—in empire, the refusal of the legitimacy of the status quo (cultural and political) is a start towards creating spaces from which to act and to work toward change.
Bill Cournoyer
Advisor & Curator, who is also the founder of the art advisory firm and private exhibition space The Meeting.
In October 2016, I launched The Meeting's private exhibition program in my West Village apartment. The first exhibition was titled Mean Machine: Up Jumped the Devil in response to the political events of that year, as well as my personal recollection of the politics of the 80's. Each of the works included text and could be read as protest signs for various systems. It was a reaction to current events.
The art world has a responsibility to reflect contemporary society in these "turbulent political times" in an intelligent and meaningful way. In order for a society to evolve and promote the well-being of all of its members each of us needs to do its part, including the art world. I am happy to say that the level of political oriented work and exhibitions has increased in the last 3 years. As well as political organizing within the community which I can't remember being at these levels since the 80's.
I remember the opening week in Chelsea in 2017. There were multiple exhibitions of African American artists in established galleries that evening. I sadly never remembered that happening before in New York. It was a good example that things were changing, albeit late, and that a few individuals with power were beginning to respond to inequalities within the art world. But it may be idealistic to think that change starts from the top without a level playing field. Individuals can contribute to making a difference. I'm reminded of the act of coming out which is inherently a political one. Each time you express your beliefs or moral standards about inequality to those in positions of power may be the impetus for change.
I'm especially encouraged about the next generation of artists, curators and dealers, for example, who have a broader and fairer sense of how the future can be for all of us like never before.

While most forms of mass media seek to simplify or reduce topical issues into binaries that are easier to digest, defend or oppose, visual art has the unique ability to use sophisticated visual, conceptual, historical and even social devices that I believe more adequately address the complexities and nuances of past and current times or turbulence. This act of creative commentary is one of the most poignant and potentially disruptive roles of art.
By getting involved on any level you can! For all of our digital bluster, most folks would rather talk or post than actually DO something. Hire qualified individuals from groups that are typically marginalized and don't be lazy and assume "they don't exist". Do the work and find the right channels; I guarantee they actually do exist.
Don't just exhibit or buy the work of any currently trending demographic, discover where their themes of interest intersect with yours and educate yourself on who their creative mentors and predecessors are.
Donate to causes your favorite artists and/or institutions contribute their time and resources to.
When viewing art, talk to those around you who you don't already know. Don't move into a "new" neighborhood and impose your predilections, take your viewpoint and expertise and consciously join the existing community that you just moved into. Communicate with people outside of your circle IRL!
Don't believe the binary.

Musical duo the Atomic Sharks have already made their presence known on Fort Wayne's own PBS station WFWA, thanks in no small part to Shark Kristopher Hensler's day job as program director for PBS39. But this summer, the Atomic Sharks, which includes popular Fort Wayne guitarist Kenny Taylor, took that relationship up a notch and in the process put their unique brand of musicianship and entertainment in the national spotlight.
Their Music Minute, a short piece explaining various aspects of music, aired not only locally between PBS children's shows, but has also been picked up by 30 stations around the country. This past summer, their instructional one-hour PBS pledge break program, Play the Ukulele with the Atomic Sharks, aired through most of Indiana and many markets throughout the country, including Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta and Miami. Airing on about 125 stations, a little more than half of the PBS stations nationally, gave the Atomic Sharks a new forum for their unique brand of island-inspired fun. It also gave them the opportunity to build a bigger set than they've used in the past.
In addition to the show, PBS sent in pledge break hosts to interview the pair during the breaks. And, as is typically the case for pledge programming, Atomic Shark merchandise was used as a thank you for pledging to the station.
Taylor, who works at Sweetwater Sound, says he's heard great feedback about the show, which will continue to air during pledge drives for the next three years.
"A lot of people have been coming up to me at Sweetwater and have been excited. They think it was an awesome show, and I think it came off really well myself. I can't wait to do it again," said Taylor.
While those projects are property of PBS, the duo has big plans ahead which include more Music Minutes, a show for commercial television and even an animated series. Two songs from the CD, Everybody Limbo and Just One More, are also available on iTunes. There's a lot to look forward to for the Atomic Sharks, and they're ready to embrace whatever is next.

Expanding on a partnership established in September 2014, WeMo builder Belkin and lighting manufacturer Osram Sylvania have introduced a troika of smart-lighting starter kits that combine the former's WeMo Link hub with the latter's connected luminaires. Belkin's WeMo technology works with a number of other third-party products, including a coffee maker and a crock pot, but this is the first time its devices have come in the box with another manufacturer's products.
The least expensive of these WeMo Osram Lightify starter sets includes two A19 tunable white bulbs in addition to the all-important hub. These are 60-watt-equivalent LEDs that can put out 805 lumens. A color temperature range of 2,700 to 6,500 Kelvin means you can alter the glow to suit your mood; cooler whites (3500K and up) are best for work, whereas warmer whites help you relax. This bundle will set you back $100.
Next up is the $120 Flex RGBW Starter Set, which contains three 2-feet long light strips, WeMo Link, power supply, and controller. Ideal for decorative purposes, the color-tunable LED strips offer a fairly wide spectrum of colors and a broad range of whites (2700-6500K). The third bundle to go on sale is the $130 Garden Mini Starter Set. It includes a 14-foot string of colorful garden lights, WeMo Link, power supply, and a controller.
Belkin says its Flex RGBW light strip can be used for a variety of purposes, including under-cabinet lighting or to enhance architectural details.
Essentially a Zigbee-to-Wi-Fi bridge, the WeMo Link enables up to 50 bulbs and lights to be controlled by the WeMo app. It was until now only available as part of a $50 bundle containing two WeMo smart bulbs, although it works just fine with a handful of Zigbee-speaking standalone lights from Osram and TCP as well.
Why this matters: Belkin's home-automation brand WeMo isn't just limited to smart lighting, but is a fledgling ecosystem containing an array of connected-home products including cameras, smart switches, sensors, and small appliances. Integrating third-party products is key to its expansion, particularly in areas where Belkin has little or no expertise. In this case, for instance, two of the bundles include products Belkin doesn't produce itself—landscape and decorative lighting.

Electromotive Force
Electromotive force is the electrical potential energy that causes current to flow through a circuit. It results from the difference in charge between two points in a material. This difference is created when an external source such as a battery makes electrons move to both points so that there is an excess at the first point and a deficiency at the other. The volt is the unit that describes the energy that the source of electric power supplies that drives the unit charge within or around the circuit. Electromotive force was first discovered through the study of static electricity.
How is Electromotive Force Expressed?
The equation that represents electromotive force is E = V + Ir. In this equation, V is the terminal voltage, I is the circuit amperes, and r is the internal resistance measured in ohms. By definition, a terminal's total voltage is less than the circuit's total electromotive force.
What are the Sources of Electromotive Force?
There are many sources of electromotive force in the world. These include batteries, thermocouples, and generators.
The first EMF source discovered was the battery. When two different metal strips are placed in a bowl of acid, they create two different charges. One produces a positive charge, and the second a negative one. When the two pieces of metal touch, the electrons flowing from one piece to the other produce a spark. These discoveries led to the modern day battery, which is a generator of electromotive force (EMF).
Similarly, when two different metals are affixed together in the shape of a "V" and then heated in a flame, electromotive force is produced at the V shape's top end. As the flame gets hotter, the EMF increases. This discovery is used today in gas-fired/driven appliances such as water heaters and fireplaces and are referred to as thermocouples.
The device that most commonly creates electromotive force today is the generator. Today's generators evolved from the discovery that moving a magnet across a piece of wire results in a small amount of electromotive force being created. If the wire is then coiled, the EMF increases. As the magnet's strength increases, the EMF increases as well.

CHRISTOPHER SANCHEZ
Sanchez, a double major in Ecosystem Science and Policy and Anthropology, has been conducting research on the complex ecological linkages between people and the environment in cities. In high school, Chris began his research endeavors in a lab at Florida International University in the Florida Coastal Everglades Longterm Ecological Research (FCE LTER) program. His work associating fossils of novel organisms with hydrolic conditions in the Everglades led to a greater understanding of the environmental history of the FCE LTER research sites. Chris' success in this project earned him four state, national and international Science Fair awards and the honor of having a minor planet named after him. He was also able to publish his research as a high school student in the Journal of Paleolimnology. His mentor on the project, Dr. Evelyn Gaiser, describes Chris as having a "level of tenacity rare even to established scientists." Chris spent this past summer in Phoenix at Arizona State University with NSF support through the Central Arizona-Phoenix LTER Program studying the hydrology of a novel wastewater treatment wetland outside of Phoenix. Professor Daniel L. Childers, director of the program in Phoenix, says of Chris, "He is focused, ambitious, and very passionate in his research and the scientific endeavor, particularly in the fields of wetland ecology, urban systems research, and sustainability science."

For this scenario picture trying to get your boat into a mooring (parking) place that has just about enough room for your boat. Unlike what you learned in auto driving school for parallel parking, you do NOT pull alongside the forward boat and back in. Remember the Seinfeld episode where George was backing in and another chap was pulling in? They had a standoff for the whole show...blocking traffic, etc.
Well, in docking a boat, George loses.
Assuming you are landing port side to the dock, pull the bow in and use a spring line from forward on the boat to a cleat or piling aft of that point. Then the helm should be put hard right and given power. That will swing the stern into the dock. That is the art of springing your boat into the dock because you are using a spring line.
To spring off the dock, use the same spring line from the forward on the boat (bow) to a cleat or piling aft. Now turn the helm hard left and apply power. Once the stern kicks out, release the spring line and back out.
(Note on the spring line: Assuming there is no one on the dock to help, use a "clean" spring line. That means there can be no knots, loops or anything that will catch on a cleat, dock or whatever. The spring line goes from the boat, around the cleat and back to the boat. Once the boat is sprung off the dock, release the bitter end and pull the clean line through the block and back to the boat.) You are then clear to move about the country.

Ford Motor Co. announced that it will no longer invest in manufacturing and selling traditional Ford sedans for the North American market.
The company said declining consumer demand and product profitability were the main factors in its decision, according to its first-quarter 2018 financial report.
Over the next few years, the Ford car portfolio in North America will transition to two vehicles – the best-selling Mustang and the all-new Focus Active crossover coming out next year, the report says. The company is also exploring what it calls new "white space" vehicle silhouettes that combine the best attributes of cars and utilities, such as higher ride height, space and versatility.
The move comes with Ford's goal to have almost 90% of its portfolio in North America be trucks, utilities and commercial vehicles by 2020.
In the report, the Detriot area-based company pledged to commit to new propulsion choices, including adding hybrid-electric powertrains to high-volume, profitable vehicles like the F-150, Mustang, Explorer, Escape and Bronco. The company's battery electric vehicle rollout starts in 2020 with a performance utility, and it will bring 16 battery-electric vehicles to market by 2022.
Other goals the company shared in its financial report include building a viable and profitable autonomous technology business with trusted and human-centered ride-hailing and goods delivery experience. It also plans to create a mobility platform and experience for customers. At the Consumer Electronic Show in January, Ford shared its goal of creating the Transportation Mobility Cloud of choice for cities and being an orchestrator of all digital connections from vehicle to street to business to home.

König és un cràter d'impacte lunar situat al sud-oest del Mare Nubium i del prominent cràter Bullialdus, amb el cràter inundat de lava Kies al sud-est de König.
La vora de König presenta un contorn lleugerament poligonal, amb una petita protuberància cap al sud i unes lleugeres rampes cap a l'exterior. L'interior del cràter és aspre i irregular, amb un pic central insignificant. S'ha produït una sèrie de lliscaments dels materials del brocal cap a l'interior, formant un anell de blocs rocosos al voltant de la petita plataforma central.

Q: Objective C: Regex 2 different input possibilities I have an input form which is supposed to take two different input forms and validate them.
The first should be a digit input which starts with two 77 and is then followed by other numbers which can be from 0 to 9. The total length can be 13.
i.e: 77XXXXXXXXXXX
The second input form is 3 digits[0-9] followed by a dot and then 3 numbers again this can be repeated for a total of 12 numbers.
i.e. XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
The second part works --> "[0-9]{3}(?:.[0-9]{3}){3}$"
The first part for some reason won't work --> "7{2}[0-9]{13}"
E: After some testing, I have found out that only the second test gets validated.
Any suggestions to combine those two checks? If it isn't one to check for the other.

A: Use this for the first part:
^77\d{11}$

and, for the second part:
^\d{3}(?:\.\d{3}){3}$

A: since

the total lenght can be 13

you have to use 11 at the end, because the number of unknown digit is 11:
"7{2}[0-9]{11}"

note that your regex for the second part "works" but not so much, for example it parses a lot more: the . is regarded as a jolly character in regular expressions, so it matches for example
"346m111o555m333"

also, what you mean by "can be 13" or "can be repeated"? It can not? Because if it doesn't, neither your regex will work
You can use this instead:
"77\d{11}"

for the first part and
"\d{3}(?:\.\d{3}){3}"

for the second

A: Fixed it:
"(7{2}[0-9]{11})|([0-9]{3}(?:.[0-9]{3}){3}$)|([0-9]{12})"
First part matches for numbers starting with 77 followed with numbers from 0-9 and a maximum of 13 digits.
Second part check for XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX and the last part for the same just without the . in between.
All other inputs throw an error(at least here)
Thank you everybody

1 Format: CD
Written with an innocence and desperation that will move readers of all ages, this international best-seller has touched the conscience of the world. Zlata's Diary stands out as a poignant reminder that war exacts a devastating toll on everyone-including children. Zlata Filipovic' began her diary just months before her 11th birthday in 1991. Peace still reigned in her hometown of Sarajevo, where she lived the carefree life of an innocent schoolgirl. But this life was suddenly shattered in 1992 when gunfire shook through the hills, and the streets of Sarajevo became the barbaric battlegrounds of the Bosnian war. As the onslaught of the war steadily invades her life, Zlata loses loved ones, endures months without decent food or running water, and spends weeks confined to her house as shells rain on the devastated city. Sustained by indomitable courage, she struggles to preserve the remains of her former existence. She learns to play the piano, celebrates special occasions with her closely-knit family-and faithfully records everything in this extraordinary diary.

Площадь Пирогова — площадь в Ленинском районе Севастополя, на пересечении улица Пирогова, Шварца и Льва Толстого. С 22 декабря 1954 года носит имя Николая Ивановича Пирогова — выдающегося учёного, хирурга, участника обороны Севастополя 1854—1855 годов.

История
С Севастополем Н. Пирогова связывает особая героическая страничка истории. Здесь во время Крымской войны 1853-1856 гг. он работал хирургом полевого госпиталя, спасая жизни солдатам, и именно здесь впервые применил пары эфира в качестве наркоза. Многие его разработки в практической хирургии, организации сестринского дела и анестезиологии стали основой для дальнейшего прогресса хирургии.

В Севастополе именем Пирогова также названы:
 Городская больница № 1 им. Николая Ивановича Пирогова;
 Военно-морской клинический госпиталь Черноморского флота им. Н. И. Пирогова;
 Улица Пирогова.

The positive effects of caffeine / coffee on health have been well documented. We've collected some of the most interesting facts and studies here regarding the health and performance benefits of coffee. Of course, before adding caffeine into your workout routine, or upping you coffee consumption, please consult a medical professional.
1) Coffee Is Full Of Essential Nutrients And Antioxidants!
An average adult gains 1,299 mg of antioxidants a day by drinking coffee. Antioxidants fight off free radicals, which helps slow aging and prevent certain diseases.
2) Lowers Cholesterol, Reduces The Risk Of Stroke, Lowers Your Risk Of Diabetes, Enhances Memory, And Is Good For Your Liver!
A Harvard study showed a link between coffee consumption and a reduction in type 2 Diabetes risk.
The antioxidants in coffee have been shown to potentially help lower bad cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease.
Coffee drinkers had a noticeably lower instance of strokes according to this study.
Improved cognitive function and long term memory through a process called "memory consolidation".
May substantially reduce the risk of liver cirrhosis.
3) Burns Fat, Improves Performance, Reduces Soreness, And Increases Endurance!
Caffeine raises your metabolic rate by a range of 3-11%, which determines the amount of fat that you burn when being active. Caffeine increases ASGD and FFA by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system and increasing of lipolysis - in short coffee can help you burn more fat during your workouts.
This study found coffee drinkers had an 11 to 12.3% improvement on physical performance compared to their non-caffeinated counterparts. Pairing espresso with your workouts can lead to noticeable gains.
According to this research, athletes who consumed caffeine prior to working out took longer to become exhausted, completed more reps, and were more psychologically ready to perform. It was also found that when consumed in conjunction with carbohydrates, coffee drinkers showed a 50% increase in glycogen, the sugar that fuels muscle function.
Caffeine can speed recovery and reduce post-workout muscle soreness by up to 48 percent.
As if we needed any more reasons to indulge in our beverage of choice! Stay tuned for more interesting coffee facts, studies, drink cocktails, Minipresso Adventures, and new announcements!

This Beastie Boys 'Ghostbusters' Mashup Theme Song Works Impossibly Well
ScreenCrush Staff Published: October 20, 2020
Getty Images/Sony
We've heard Ray Parker Jr.'s Ghostbusters theme song synced up with other music before. There was a whole infamous lawsuit back in the '80s because Huey Lewis believed the song infringed on his copyright for "I Want a New Drug." (The suit was eventually settled out of court; Reitman later admitted that he had used Huey Lewis as temp music in the Ghostbusters rough cut.)
This is something new, though. This is someone mashing up Parker's Ghostbusters theme with the Beastie Boys' "Intergalactic." And not only did they use the song — they made a clip to go with it, combining shots from Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II with Beastie Boys music videos.
No one ever claimed "Intergalactic" was inspired by "Ghostbusters" but this combination works incredibly, impossibly well. ("Intergalactic" was the first single on the Beasties' Hello Nasty, which was released in 1998.) This might as well have been the actual theme song to Ghostbusters. Watch it below:
That's really unbelievable. Sony should use this as the theme song of Ghostbusters: Afterlife when that finally opens in theaters (maybe) on March 5, 2021. Remember Ghostbusters: Afterlife? Yep, it's happening, eventually, once movies start coming out again. (Want to feel super depressed? That movie was supposed to come out three months ago, in July of 2020. Think it will come out on time next year? Think it would come out at all next year? At this point, we wouldn't bet on it.)

Before her Broadway debut, Sandra earned her bachelor's of fine arts degree in music, dance, and theater from Brigham Young University. After her debut role as Cosette, the Shanghai, China production asked her to reprise her role for their production in Asia. Sandra's life has been full of performance. Sandra has sung for the Steve Young Forever Young Foundation, the 2004 Republican National Convention, and even starred as Ariel in the stage production of The Little Mermaid at Disney World.

In addition to her singing career, Sandra often tours with the Time Out for Women conference series, speaking to thousands of women and girls all over the country. She loves these opportunities, because she has the chance to teach and reinforce important principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Building a career in the entertainment industry is no easy feat, especially for a woman who lives Christian values. Sandra has had to work to separate her professional life from her private life, because in the entertainment business you're expected to market and sell your whole self. Sandra can't be timid about what she believes and has to be open to conversation and questions.
Her biggest piece of advice is to "have a rock-solid testimony." Without conviction to live what Jesus Christ taught, she wouldn't have been able to stay true to who she knows she is. Throughout her time on Broadway–easily the busiest and most demanding part of her career–Sandra served in various church capacities and supported her husband in his own professional and church responsibilities.
Sandra believes that her talent and success in the music industry is a direct gift from a loving Heavenly Father. Finding success in the entertainment business is rare and hard-won, and Sandra has been able to enjoy that alongside the joys that come from living the gospel of Jesus Christ. She wouldn't be where she is today were it not for Jesus Christ and His promises of grace.

I had another one o' them dreams last night where everything's all bright an' shiny, and they've declared world peace, and everyone's just sittin' around, talkin' about how beautiful it all is.
It's starting to scare me. I wanna go back to dreaming about fallin'.

4 The "reversal" gag is too simple to be funny.
