ECOSYSTEMIC STRUCTURES: SPORT FACILITY
Group Members: Nathalie Botbol, Camila Fajardo, Camille Garnier
Faculty: Guillermo Sevillano & Elena Orte (Suma Studio)
Following our self-sufficient project, the next phase was to generate a wood structure, moving out from the typical rigid preconceived pattern of post and lintel. We parted from our conclusions from the thermodynamic module, to have a constant airflow throughout the whole building, building porosity, and having the intermediate and lower level completely open for horizontal airflow.
Wood is carbon-positive material in its growth phase, generating jobs as it is harvested, reducing labor-time as it is used, and has excellent material properties. Within a building, wood outperforms other materials, using it as an alternative to other materials saves on average 0.9 tons of CO2 per cubic meter. Wood also has the best thermal insulation properties of any mainstream construction material, five times better than concrete, 10 times better than brick and 350 times better than steel. This is because wood's low thermal mass means that it has minimal ability to conduct either heat or cold, meaning that using timber in buildings makes them more easily able to retain heat.
For our project, we took advantage of the fact that Catalunya has 61.3% of forest area, making it an ideal place for sustainable wood production and avoiding high C02 emissions from transportation. Our structural approach was based, on our four main concepts for our project: program, thermodynamics, noise control, and structural innovation.
Programming: Since the project is a sports facility, the first things taken into consideration were the different program requirements that were needed for each sport, not only space-wise but also in impact, weight and amount of people using simultaneously one space.
Thermodynamics: permeability and airflow throughout the whole building were important to keep the structure cool and fresh all year long, especially during Barcelona hot summers. The centric patios were created to act as ventilation chimneys, that later became our main structural element.
Noise Control: for ventilation purposes, everything is very porous and open, for a sports facility where you have some loud machinery and/or loud spaces versus some other closer quiet areas is a bit of a challenge. By selecting wood for its acoustic capacity, as well as program distribution and adjacencies we were able to approach this.
Structural innovation: Our initial approach trough structure was to use the patios as main structural elements, and to avoid the obstruction of ventilation throughout the project. Inspiring ourselves with nature, we were able to develop an organic movement throughout the structure.
Making of Models
In order to test our structural theories, we started making some test models, to analyze the distribution of weight and forces. Our first theory was to make the centric rings out of wood but keep the chimney porous for airflow, so we decided to make it out of interlocking wood.
In the first model, we worked with spaghetti for the concentric ring, and we try a different type of trusses, that would seem more organic. After some little weight was applied, the trusses began to deform.
MODEL 2-3
In the second model, we decided to laser cut the materials for the round patios, also reduced their size. For the trusses, we started looking at the usual form, and start playing with an effective way of redesign it without affecting the load distribution.
For the fourth and third model, we managed to make the structural items of the patios to perforate the structural floor, in order to avoid deformation and also more structural support for each floor. On the third floor, we added some interlocking beams that helped with the structural support of the elements and distributions of all outer forces towards the patios, which are our main structural elements.
One of the main goals of the course was to develop an Architecture Manifesto based on our experiences and everything we learned with our structural components. It shows the main conclusions, that are displayed within the project. The statements are an approach to sustainable wood structural systems, that can be applied to push forward the development of Bio-cities and advance ecological architecture further:
Re-think Concepts:
Take typical structural elements – e.g., such as beams, columns, walls – and re-think them in different ways. Taking into account the inherited properties of wood and how it adapts to various loads of distribution within the building. From that point, re-design the concept of elements such as trusses to look more aesthetically pleasing, without losing the different passive strategies that were taken into consideration during the design phase.
Structural Components:
Multiple elements cohered and interact with each other so that the overall component might adapt to various local conditions. The two central patios act as the main structural element, adapting to bending, twisting, and tension forces, as well as to gravity loads, from all the other sub-structural parts.
Create an Integrated Structural System
All structural forms are the result of interacting forces that work together, just like natural systems. Create an architectural composition that is highly integrated in a way that each subsystem can be identified but cannot work without the others.
4.Inter-articulated Systems
Move away from a single structural system- e.g., a bearing wall, post-and-lintel – to an association of different components of the building- e.g., envelope, internal subdivision, and components. Each building element is a system that is correlated with other building elements so that they can support different loads and approach various forces.
5. Organic Orientation:
The goal is to enhance the overall sense of natural integration through the building through subtle curvatures and organic elements in the exposed structure that gives a sense of openness and a connection with the primary building material wood.
6. Responsive Structures and Spaces
Each part of the structure responds to nodes and forces, allowing at the same time to react to different architectural interior environments, allowing them to reconfigure and adapt each part of the structure in response to the prevalent patterns of use and occupation.

It is important that you realize how the content of these pages is organized and the logic behind the organization. When you click on a topic below, you will be taken to a new page where the specific content is organized into two sections: Statements of Fact (SOF) and External Links (EL).
1) The SOF are presented as propositions (because this is how your brain stores knowledge) and therefore no paragraphs will be presented in this section. This saves typing and you don't have to read all the miscellaneous words that make paragraphs flow (sorry, English instructors!). I suggest you read these articles on propositions in cognitive theory and their use in the construction of concept maps. Here is another good article on concept maps. If you read the propositions aloud, they will become a part of your knowledge domains. If you can construct a concept map on a specific topic, you are an advanced learner!
2) The EL will feature web pages (and images, where appropiate) that provide further information on the selected topic. It is important to realize that I have no control over EL and therefore, their content may disappear or change without my knowledge (this is a disclaimer). I will purge links to web sites that become unavailable or change their content to uselessness. This purging will happen once I realize that things have changed--so you may see things change before I do! If you see it happen before I do, drop me a line at ------rod@rodallrich.com----Thanks!

LOS ANGELES – Fox News Channel, bolstered by viewers' rapt attention to the U.S.-led evacuation from Afghanistan, was last week's most-watched TV outlet on broadcast or cable, according to Nielsen company figures out Tuesday.
The channel averaged just under 3 million viewers. Fox News Channel outpaced both its cable news competition and the broadcast networks that typically jockey for the top spot.
The channel, which is popular with conservative-leaning viewers, surged following the Taliban's sudden conquest of Afghanistan this month and as the Biden administration directed the chaotic removal of U.S. citizens and Afghans at risk after the nearly 20-year war's end.
The last time the channel claimed the No. 1 spot was in September 2020, when "Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace moderated the debate between then-President Donald Trump and his ultimately successful challenger Joe Biden.
MSNBC, which tends to attract liberal-leaning viewers, saw a slight ratings dip from the previous week, averaging just under 1.2 million viewers compared to 1.29 million. CNN rose 20.6%, averaging 943,00 viewers vs. the prior week's 782,000.
Fox News Channel, which averaged 2.94 million viewers, was followed by broadcaster CBS with 2.57 million. NBC had 2.53 million, ABC had 2.39 million, Fox had 1.38 million, Univision had 1.28 million, Ion Television had 1.12 million and Telemundo had 1.04 million.
Other top cable performers included HGTV with 1.11 million and TLC with 1.04 million.
ABC's "World News Tonight" led the evening news ratings race, with an average of 8 million viewers last week. NBC's "Nightly News" was second with 6.5 million and the "CBS Evening News" had 4.8 million.
For the week of Aug. 16-22, the 20 most-watched programs, their networks and viewerships:
1. "America's Got Talent" (Tuesday), NBC, 6.9 million.
2. "60 Minutes Presents," CBS, 5.98 million.
3. "America's Got Talent" (Wednesday), NBC, 5.74 million.
4. "Hannity" (Tuesday), Fox News Channel, 4.82 million.
5. "Celebrity Family Feud," ABC, 4.75 million.
6. "America's Funniest Home Videos," ABC, 4.3 million.
7. "Big Brother" (Thursday), CBS, 4.05 million.
8. "Tucker Carlson Tonight" (Monday), Fox News Channel, 4.04 million.
9. "Big Brother" (Sunday), CBS, 3.9 million.
10. "The Chase," ABC, 3.86 million.
11. "Big Brother" (Wednesday), CBS, 3.8 million.
12. "Tucker Carlson Tonight" (Tuesday), Fox News Channel, 3.76 million.
13. "Hannity" (Wednesday), Fox News Channel, 3.74 million.
14. "Tucker Carlson Tonight" (Wednesday), Fox News Channel, 3.63 million.
15. "Hannity" (Monday), Fox News Channel, 3.55 million.
16. "American Ninja Warrior," NBC, 3.54 million.

19. "Tucker Carlson Tonight" (Thursday), Fox News Channel, 3.45 million.
20. "Tucker Carlson Tonight" (Friday), Fox News Channel, 3.33 million.
This story has been corrected to show that CBS followed Fox News Channel in ratings, not ABC.

Q: How to clone sub-directory inside another sub-directory? Have one repository in Gitlab like this folder tree:
somerepo
  ├─ innerrepo1
  └─ innerrepo2

somerepo is the main repository. The others are sub-directories. Is it possible to clone innerrepo1 inside innerrepo2? If yes, how to do it?
I have no idea how to get it.
The hidden .git folder is inside somerepo.

A: Try to add it as a submodule:
git submodule [--quiet] add [<options>] [--] <repository> [<path>]

Example (using master branch and dummy GitHub links):
git submodule add master --name innerrepo1 https://github.com/bla_bla_bla/innerrepo1.git innerrepo2/innerrepo1

This will add the following entry in the file: "/somerepo/.gitmodules":
[submodule "innerrepo1"]
    path = innerrepo2/innerrepo1
    url = https://github.com/bla_bla_bla/innerrepo1.git

Welcome to the fifth installment in our Spider-Man Week! Today, we list the five most important Spider-Man writers in history. These are the five writers that really defined Spider-Man, for whichever generation it was they drew him in, and gave him some of the best and most important stories of his storied career. Ready? Let's go!
Ask a Spider-Man historian to cite the greatest Spider-Man stories of all time, and invariably, you'll be hearing "Kraven's Last Hunt" by J.M. Dematteis and Mike Zeck among these stories. In this story, Kraven the Hunter takes his obsession with hunting Spider-Man to the next level, burying the wallcrawler alive and taking his costume. DeMatteis excels in stories about identity, and he proved in this story that Spider-Man can be treated in a more serious manner, with little to none of the wisecracks associated with the webhead.
And also the death of Aunt May in Amazing Spider-Man #400, drawn by Mark Bagley. Although this was temporary, this story was heartwrenching when it came out. I consider it a masterpiece, not just in comparison to the rest of the mess that was the Clone Saga, but just as a comic book in and of itself..
Bendis's work on Spider-Man redefined him for a modern audience, and really focused on Peter Parker as a teenager. He gave him genuine teenage problems, such as dating and being picked on, as treated in the 21st century. And he also got something else about Spider-Man: he's funny.
But despite that, Bendis's characterization with Spider-Man and his world were rock-solid and a good read, always entertaining, with witty and snappy patter, and engaging emotional relationships, including fresh takes on Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacy, as he reversed their roles for this universe (Gwen is the bad girl and Mary Jane is the brainy one).
As we mentioned yesterday, the death of Gwen Stacy is quite probably the most important moment in Spider-Man history, setting off a huge chain reaction in the webslinger's history. Really, for that alone, Gerry Conway earned his place on this list.
So yes, undoubtedly, Gerry Conway is one of the most important Spider-Man writers of all time, even if these were the only two things he wrote. They weren't, of course. Conway had a marvelous four-year run on the title, which saw the introduction of the Punisher, among other things.
There is a Spider-Man Visionaries: Roger Stern TPB. Just to illustrate the point, the only other person with a Spider-Man Visionaries TPB is Todd McFarlane.
Stern's run on Amazing Spider-Man went from issue 224 to 252, and included several stories he wrote prior to it and a sprinkling of stories he wrote after his run. With stories including "Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut," a classic Black Cat story, and "The Kid Who Collected Spider-Man," Roger Stern got the essence of Spider-Man so well. He was perpetually down on his luck, overly optimistic and idealistic, and funny. Very funny.
One of the most important things Roger Stern did was create the Hobgoblin, who, under his supervision, was a major villain. He was seen as the 80s equivalent of the then-dead Green Goblin, and the mystery behind who he was brought to mind the original mystery of who the Green Goblin was. Unfortunately, Stern left the title before the Hobgoblin's true identity could be revealed, and he wasn't able to reveal it until 1996, in the Spider-Man: Hobgoblin Lives! miniseries. Still, with the Hobgoblin, Roger Stern and John Romita Jr. created one of Spider-Man's last three iconic villains (the other two are Venom and Carnage).
Roger Stern's run on Amazing Spider-Man ended with #252, which was also the beginning (though not the first appearance) of the storyline involving the black alien costume that would later become Venom!
No one can equal what Stan Lee did on Spider-Man, really. He introduced the concept of the teenage superhero who wasn't a sidekick, the concept of a superhero who creeped out the rest of the public, and the concept of a superhero who was down on his luck - all new concepts in 1962, that publisher Martin Goodman wanted Spider-Man's first appearance published in the final issue of a canceled magazine called Amazing Fantasy! And then when the sales for that issue went off the charts, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko made sure Spider-Man took off with it.
Stan Lee started everything and pretty much introduced all the classic characters and elements associated with Spider-Man's life: Aunt May, J. Jonah Jameson, Robbie Robertson, Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson, Harry Osborn, Flash Thompson, and the villains, such as the Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Sandman, Mysterio, the Vulture, Kraven, the Chameleon, the Kingpin, the Lizard, Electro, the Rhino, and more.
It would be so easy to make just Stan Lee the number one spot here, but I can't just bring myself to do that, because his artists - especially Steve Ditko - deserve much of the writing credit. In case you're unaware, the "Marvel Method" for writing is such that the scripter (in this case, Lee) and the artist (in this case, Ditko) would talk the plot of an issue over for a while, then Lee would write the outline - about a page or so. Ditko would then interpret it any way he liked, in terms of pacing, nuance, and everything - basically everything that has to do with writing that's not plotting - and then send it back to Lee for dialogues. As time went on and on, Stan Lee noticed that Steve Ditko was so good at telling stories that they would even skip the written outline stage. Sometimes, Stan would just give Steve a quick two-sentence synopsis, and Steve would fill it up as well as he could (which was very well, because Steve Ditko is awesome). In those issues, it even seems as if Stan's dialogue actually takes away from the quality of the story.
Steve Ditko didn't create Mary Jane Watson or the Kingpin - that was Jazzy Johnny Romita - but he had made his mark on Spider-Man's world, and today, when you see a Spider-Man product, be it a movie, a cartoon, or whatever, you will see it in bright bold letters: Spider-Man created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
Check back tomorrow for the top five Spider-Man villains!
I'd like to leave a shout-out to my boy J.M. Stracynski too! His run on Spidey reduced me to tears most issues.
It was either gonna be Straczynski or DeMatteis for number 5 (either way, it was gonna be a JM). I may have let the fact that I like DeMatteis (though not universally) over Straczynski, but like I said, "Kraven's Last Hunt" is almost always on the list of greatest Spider-Man stories of all time, and I don't think I can forgive JMS for Sins Past and showing me Norman's O-face.
I'm really Glad i discovered this blog.Added www.comicscube.com to my bookmark!

The restaurant options at the Valley Ranch Town Center will grow this month as four new eateries — Airi Poke, Subzero Ice Cream, Buffalo Wild Wings and Yummy Tummy — open their doors.
While Airi Poke held its soft opening on Dec. 6, Buffalo Wild Wings is projected to open on Dec. 12 and Sub Zero and Yummy Tummy will start serving customers on Dec. 17.
The new restaurants bring a new experience for visitors to the mixed-use development, said vice president of the retail division for Signoreli Co., Brody Farris. Signoreli is the developer of the Valley Ranch Town Center, which is located at the intersection of Hwy. 59 and the Grand Parkway in New Caney.
The four new eateries give Valley Ranch patrons 19 restaurant options, he said.
Several other restaurants and retail outlets are also scheduled to open next year.
While Hallmark opened early in late November, James Avery Artisan Jewelry will open in February. Meanwhile Regions Bank, Valvoline Instant Oil Change and DaVita Dialysis are under construction. Olive Garden — expected to open this summer — and Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers, which could debut in February, are also under construction.
An entertainment district with a boardwalk, an apartment complex and Class A office space will also be developed over the next two years, Farris said.
The planned entertainment district will overlook two lakes that are adjacent to the Cinemark movie theater, which opened last spring.The Pointe, a multi-family development under construction near the district, Farris said. It is projected to open in April.
"What you see today at the Valley Ranch Town Center is approximately a 600,000 square feet development, but we are far from completion as we see the project being 1.5 million square feet project, which will be made up of additional shop retail, anchor tenants, restaurants, a boardwalk, the entertainment district, office space, and multi-family residential," Farris said.
The first will be a 60,000 square foot Class A facility with ground floor retail and restaurant space. The second will be an 80,000 square foot building. Signorelli is currently negotiating with potential anchor tenants, he said.

Q: What's the proper way to set prefix of key in Redis? I am using Redis to store the captcha and mobile code temporarily. When I set captcha, I use:Redis.set('captcha' + remoteIP, text);
I can see the key is captcha:127.0.0.1 in GUI manager. Redis recognized the captcha as prefix automatically. If I use Redis.set('captcha:' + remoteIP, text), the key will be captcha::127.0.0.1.
But when I set the code by Redis.set('code' + mobile, code);, the actual key is code1xxxxxxxxxx, no prefix. I must use Redis.set('code:' + mobile, code) then it works.
I'm using latest node_redisclient in Node.js 5.2.0.

A: Your variable remoteIP already contains a :.  Redis didn't recognize captcha was a prefix and add a colon, it was just told to use whatever the expression 'captcha' + remoteIP evaluated to as a key, in this case that was captcha:127.0.0.1, since remoteIP === ':127.0.0.1.

Attractive Art Installations in Au-Jairangam
Painting competition for school children
Inter college Nukkad Natak Competition
Jaipur, 24 November: The fourth day of the annual theatre festival of Pink City – Au-Jairangam – witnessed a bonanza of plays. Jawahar Kala Kendra (JKK) saw the staging of plays 'Amrita' directed by Sudeep Sohni, 'Waiting for Godot' directed by Sanket Jain and 'One by Zero' directed by Shubham Pareek . The plays 'Bidesia' directed by Sanjay Upadhyay and 'Bali aur Shambhu' directed by Manav Kaul were staged at Maharana Pratap Auditorium and Birla Auditorium respectively.
Along with proscenium theatre, various other activities such as panel discussion, nukkad natak competition, street play, painting competition, among others also took place today under the ambit of Au-Jairangam.
Jawahar Kala Kendra's Shilpgram is shining bright with unique and attractive art installations installed as a part of Au-Jairangam. Made in collaboration with Arch Academy of Design, Jaipur, these installations are based on different concepts like 'Peace', 'Reliving Theatre', 'Tomorrow', 'Looking Around' and 'Quotes'.
The art installation 'Peace' signifies every individual's search for inner peace. It gives the message of living beyond the world's pathos and perils. 'Reliving Theatre' attempts to reopen the chest of yesteryear memories that one's parents and grandparents treasured and cherished. 'Tomorrow' is an attempt to highlight the mindless attitude of human beings towards the planet Earth that leads to perils like destruction, pollution and scarcity. 'Looking Around' throws light on human being's ethical and moral responsibility to let the environment maintain its natural beauty. 'Quotes' is an informative installation of famous personalities from art and theatre.
A panel discussion on the topic 'Theatre and Cinema' was held today as a part of the Rang Samwad series. In the discussion eminent personas of the theatre fraternity such as Sudhir Pandey, Manav Kaul, Kumud Mishra and Sanjay Upadhyay participated. While talking about the distinction between cinema and theatre, Mr. Sudhir Pandey stressed on the point that there was no real divide between the two and it has been created. Each medium be it theatre, cinema or TV has its own technicalities which cannot be put to comparison, he added. He further said that theatre is not a source of livelihood but rather a passion. As compared to cinema, the reach of theatre is limited. Emphasizing the point further Mr. Manav Kaul said that there is nothing "revolutionary" about theatre and it thrives solely because of passion. He further said that equal amount effort and hard work is put in both cinema and theatre. The kind of theatre and cinema that is being produced is dictated by the audience, he added.
Mr. Sanjay Upadhyay said that both cinema and theatre have their own limitations. While cinema is a finished product, theatre always has a scope for incorporating changes prevalent in contemporary times. The temperament of the actors on a particular day also greatly affects the turnout of the play. Mr. Kumud Mishra said that the success of both theatre and cinema depends on the story. Even if modern technique is used in cinema, it cannot ensure winning the hearts of the viewers unless the story is touching.
In the nukkad natak competition students of colleges like Parishkar College, Mahaveer College of Commerce, Maharani College, Maharaja College and Kanoria College, among others participated. They presented plays on various topics like LGBT, Violence against women, Disability, Bechara Mard, among others. The first, second and third prize of the inter college nukkad natak competition was bagged by Maharani College, Kanoria College and Parishkar College respectively.
A painting competition — 'Art Stroke' for around 350 students of various schools was held. There were 3 categories in the competition — Class 1 to 2, Class 3 to 5 and Class 6 to 8. Coordinators Rosy Saxena and Vibha Sharma informed that the theme of the painting competition was 'Nature'. The best three paintings in each category were awarded.
About the Plays
The play 'Amrita' directed by Sudeep Sohni, is based on the autobiography of eminent Punjabi poet, Amrita Pritam. Directed by Sudeep Sohni and performed by the professional theatre teams of Vihaan Drama Works (VDW), the play is an effort to portray the fadeless life of this gifted and blessed writer. Amrita, Sahir and Imroz are about Kavita, Nazm and Painting. When truth, honesty, emotions and experiences of life blended eternally with aesthetics of poetry and painting, the story of lasting impressions come to us as 'Rasidi Ticket' in the words of Amrita Pritam. Her transformation from body to soul is a journey from self to beyond.
Amrita Pritam was the only child of her parents and her mother died when she was very young. Confronting adult responsibilities, and besieged by loneliness following her mother's death, she began to write at an early age. All the experiences of her life since childhood have been created or lived under some shadow or the other: the shadows of death, words, dreams, and unrequited love. This play captures the entire life of hers in its fold.
'Waiting for Godot' ,directed by Sanket Jain, is an absurdist play by Samuel Beckett, in which two characters,Vladimir and Estragon, wait endlessly and in vain for the arrival of someone named Godot. Waiting For Godot is Beckett's translation of his own original French version, En attendant Godot, an is subtitled (in English only) "a tragicomedy in two acts". The original French text was composed between 9th Oct.,1948 and 29th Jan.1949.
It is a play on the human condition, a meditation on the human predicament in mid-twentieth century Europe. Thus it is a play about characters, not what happens to them but about them, a portrayal of human beings without any answer or certainties. This is the anxiety that Vladimir and Estragon carry with them. Is there a Godot? What does he look like? How does he behave? Will he come at all? What will he do for that? Should they invest any hope in him? They don't know any of the answer, only that they are on very slippery ground. Lacking any firm basis for their hopes, they keep falling literally to the ground. Man is in a truly fallen state. Meanwhile, what do they do, as they wait for some solution with what is only a fleeting hope or even less? That is the play.
Among the characters, Vladimir is the soul and Estragon is the body of the play. The other two characters, Pozzo is so obviously the master and Lucky, the slave(living with the burden of his name). There is one more character in the play who acts like a messenger. And the title character of the play, Godot, is a character but not present on the stage.
The play 'One by Zero' ,directed by Shubham Pareek, is a classic tale of a possible case of a paradox which happens because of time travel. An average writer in 70s classic of America bets a bartender that he will tell him the best story he has ever heard. Bartender who is an undercover agent of a secret organization called "BUREAU" which aims at maintaining the happenings in the past; offers a deal which can make the writer take his revenge. Bartender with the help of a time machine takes the writer in his past; where he accidentally meets himself and what happens there changes him as a whole. The entire story is centered on a person caught up in a question of "who am I?" which ultimately becomes a paradox and to believe it is the new beginning of his life.
'Bidesia', directed by Sanjay Upadhyay, narrates the story of a Bihar's folk theatrereverberates with Bhikhari Thakur's Bidesia. Bhikhari Thakur was an artist, a dramatist and a poet who exhibited his play among the masses; focusing on their pains, sorrows and miseries. After the mutiny of 1857, Bihar and Eastern Uttar Pradesh were in the grip of famine that changed the concept of livelihood into one of agony, compelling the people to leave their homeland. The problem still exists. In Bidesia, the character Bidesi leaves his newly married wife Pyari Sundari and seeks employment in Calcutta. There he gets involved with another women, Rakhelin and begets two children. For years together Pyari Sundari received no news of her husband. A Batohi, on his way to Calcutta takes pity on Pyari and brings back Bidesia with him. Pyari who accepts Rakhelin wins the heart of the people for not forgetting the Dharma of Pativrata. The Play depicts the loneliness of Pyari whose agony, Chahat and Tadap for Bidesia know no limits. Bidesia is the story of Values, displayed in rhythm Biraha and torture felt by a women and her determination to got her husband back.
'Bali aur Shambu' ,directed by Manav Kaul, is the story of an unlikely new friendship between two old residents of the home. An expression of two diametrically opposite characters and their unique approaches towards life. Bali believes in taking life as it comes where as Shambhu lives in the glories of his past. With their respective ideologies and after a series of intricate collisions, eventually the two become one.

I hate the icky feeling you get from napping, napping is so awesome! Why must it give you the swamp monsters? Why?
I love napping on a rainy day.
The swamp-monster part isn't so fun though.
Swamp monster? Not so much for me. More of a zombie napper.
I wake up from naps to find I've been hit by a truck. Naps turn me into roadkill.
Naps are delicious. But yes, the "nap hangover" isn't too fun.

People or process: Where lies the error?
Error in the simplest of terms is a difference between the expected output and the actual output received. Our civilisation is designed and built around errors. For example, humans have designed traffic lights to prevent judgement errors, seatbelts in automobiles to prevent unexpected errors, safety harnesses on construction sites, and many more. However, these concepts that prevent error rely on the cognitive ability of humans to follow structures and routines to perform any given task. I refer to such structures and routines as a process. But where does the error originate? The people or the process? Let's find out.
The lecture by Stephen Wright on "Human Factors: Why we screw up - learning from aviation and experience" and the supporting videos on human error by Professor James Reason provided a very good understanding of human errors and the lessons learned from accidents in the aviation industry. One of the key points mentioned was that people who are very familiar or rather experts with routines are more likely to be the cause of errors. I will elaborate a bit more in the following parts.
"To err is human, to forgive is divine" is a popular English quote, the first part of which implies that humans will inherently make mistakes. The second part of the quote implies that humans seek value from their time and energy and thus, forgiving errors (humans that cause the error) that affect them is a rare virtue. However, errors are not necessarily bad. Case in point are many ground-breaking discoveries over the years such as X-Rays, Penicillin, and quite recently, the effective dose of the Covid-19 vaccine by AstraZeneca.
So then, the question arises, how much error is tolerable and can be forgiven? This is the point where the process comes into the picture. Processes such as codified structures and routines are created to mitigate the most prominent causes of error. But as mentioned earlier, these processes rely on human cognitive ability to follow the routine. As Mr. Wright and Mr. Reason explain, eventually people become so proficient in the process such that it become an integral part of the person wherein the performance always matches the standards set by the process.
In doing so, a new notion comes into place wherein, to not err is human. What I mean here is that supervisors of the process may simply "trust" this highly proficient person to do the right thing. However, as the process itself relies on human cognitive ability, even a single day where the highly proficient person experiences mental distress or impaired cognition arising from daily activities, may lead to an error. Such an error which goes unchecked due to "trust" can trigger a chain of other related errors, thereby leading to disastrous consequences. Such chains of errors were explained by Mr. Wright, giving examples of air crash investigations.
Now, consider the "to forgive is divine" quote. In many scenarios such as manufacturing, driving, flying, etc., errors can be expensive. In these cases, it is possible that the person committing the error is held liable. This may prevent the people from highlighting their own error, even if they notice it in time, hoping that the error and thereby liability, will be lost in the subsequent chain of events. However, as mentioned earlier, errors trigger a chain of other events and thus, it is very important to identify an error in time and rectify the same. These concepts are better understood by exploring the error theories such as the SHEL theory, Error Chain theory, and Swiss Cheese Model, which were introduced by Mr. Wright in his lecture.
Thus, it is extremely important to tolerate errors, but only to a reasonable extent wherein the error is occurring due to exigent circumstances and not due to a lack of competencies or skills. For example, I was reading experiences of people from the Toyota Production System (TPS) wherein a new employee committed a mistake and knew it, but he did not alert the supervisors. Another worker noticed the mistake and immediately pulled a cord (Andon) to stop a production line.
The fault was traced back to its origin and instead of reprimanding the new employee for the fault, the supervisor expressed disappointment because the Andon cord was not pulled in time. A few weeks later, the same employee committed a fault again but this time he pulled the cord. Later, the supervisors and the other employees applauded the new employee for pulling the cord. The whole point of the Andon system is to trace the root cause of the error using the 5 Whys principle which tries to reach the root cause of the error. The root cause of the error is rarely assigned to a person but rather to the process or circumstances surrounding the process.
My research focuses on business cases for automated and digitalised heavy duty machinery. The insights from this lecture are important for me because errors cost money and without money, the business cases are limited. While analysing the different technologies and processes, I hope to utilise the insights from this lecture to visualise the future and account for sources of errors, thereby ensuring that my research results are strong, robust, and free of error while we are still on the topic.
Coming to the original question then, where lies the error? The answer according to me is always going to be the people. The process exists because of the people. The process makes assumptions to accommodate the unknown. To quote the movie Shooter, "The moment you think you got it figured, you're wrong!". However, people are smart and resilient. People learn from past errors and respond quickly too. However, to learn from errors, to err is human but to forgive should be human too.

I've been feeling so energized lately. I am loving my new marathon training with my awesome coach Denise Goode from The Sustainable Athlete. I am feeling very positive about attaining my goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon (even with the lowering of the qualifying time to 3:40). I am ecstatic about having a big goal for myself and some training tailored just for me to help me increase my strength, speed, and endurance.
As an added bonus my running friend Bridget has agreed to pace me at The Vermont City Marathon. This means that she will be there with me running the entire 26.2 to help me during my low points and to celebrate my high points along the way.
Do you have an awesome training partner who helps you to reach your goals? Now matter how positive your outlook is on any given day we all need a support team around us to keep us strong.
For me my inspiration comes from Bridget. We both enjoy being silly before, during, and after runs and especially giggly post race or hard workout. Bridget is the kind of training partner who I can always depend on to help me through a workout where my legs feel like lead and hills feel like mountains. She is always up for an easy workout with lots of talking along the way or a super intense silent workout where we both push each other and train to the limit.
Bridget has always been way faster than me but I know that our workouts will always be positive and she will never leave me in the dust (except perhaps on race day). I helped pace Bridget during the last 13 miles of her first 100 mile ultra run last summer and watched her push through limits and try to eliminate negative thinking to achieve her goals. Even when the race became difficult she was able to dig deep and find energy to pick up the pace during the last two miles and to finish in her goal time of under 24 hours.
This personal inner-strength that I witnessed is something that I often think about now as I am racing.
Tonight she and I will head out for some speed work with our head lamps. The challenge is on!
This is what I want to feel like on race day!

EVENT ADVERTISEMENT : CALL FOR PAPERS ON THE FUTURE OF ETHIOPIA
Conference on the Future of Ethiopia:
Transition, Democracy, and National Unity
(Revised Call for Papers)
Vision Ethiopia, an independent network of Ethiopian academics and professionals, in collaboration with Ethiopian Satellite Television and Radio (ESAT), has previously announced to convene a conference on a theme of "Ethiopia's National Unity and Federalism." But, a number of disturbing events have occurred since the first call for papers was issued. Peaceful protests around the Addis Ababa Master Plan and land dispossessions have descended into open conflicts and, in practical terms, naked violations of civil and political rights, including indiscriminate killings of hundreds of unarmed peaceful protestors have continued unabated. The security and defense forces of the government are on a mission of wanton destructions of human lives and properties, and the government has become unaccountable to anyone. It has effectively declared war on any form of dissent in Ethiopia.
As we are preparing this document the number of lives being lost is continuing to rise while the number of people imprisoned is exceeding 5,000 in the Oromia region alone. The explosion of a bomb in a major place of worship, presumably by the government itself, has brought an additional challenge for the country that used to pride itself for the co-existence of the two major religions of the world, Christianity and Islam. Therefore, Vision Ethiopia, whose primary mission is to engage Ethiopian intellectuals and professionals by creating an independent forum for developing policy alternatives that could lead to a better Ethiopia is forced to review the urgency of several other competing topics and themes that are more current and relevant to the conditions of today's Ethiopia. Accordingly, it has decided to postpone the initially announced topic, "Ethiopian National Unity and Federalism", for the time being and will instead convene a two-day long conference in Washington, D.C., March 26 and 27, 2016 under the topic and theme of "Transition, Democracy, and National Unity".
The goal of the conference is to bring together different political and civic organizations, religious and community leaders, and activists as well as independent scholars and professionals to deliberate on the critical themes of ways and means of uniting the Ethiopian democratic forces, defending human rights and protecting the lives of the innocent and peaceful Ethiopian people, and maintaining the national unity of Ethiopia.
We invite all participants to use the forum and share their views based on substantive and well thought-out policy inquiries in search of short and long terms solutions to the current crises that have gripped the nation. Vision Ethiopia urges all participants to focus on issues relevant to:
Creating unity and cooperation among the Ethiopian democratic forces,
The technicalities of transitional period,
Implementations and protections of democratic and human rights, and
Preservation of national unity of the country in post conflict Ethiopia.
Potential presenters are urged to submit their completed abstracts to Visionethiopia2015@gmail.com on or before February 28, 2016. Papers may be written in Amharic or English. Vision Ethiopia does not claim copyrights on the papers that it receives. ESAT will transmit the entire proceedings and thus enjoys the exclusive right to broadcast the entire audio and video materials.

Power Rangers Movie: Easter Eggs and TV Reference Guide
We've got your complete guide to references and easter eggs in the Power Rangers movie.
By Shamus Kelley | March 22, 2019 |
This article consists of nothing but spoilers for the Power Rangers movie.
It's been a few years since the Power Rangers movie came out and we're still in love with it. So much so that we put together a complete guide to all the references, obscure trivia, and other hidden gems in this morphinominal film.
Power Rangers Heroes
– While it's only hinted at in the movie, there's a strong implication that Jason and Kimberly have a thing for each other (the kiss scene in the trailer was ultimately cut). In the original series many fans have speculated that the producers were planning to put Jason and Kimberly together before Tommy showed up. It would make sense, as original show creator Tony Oliver didn't know they would be adding a Green Ranger until they were well into writing the first batch of episodes.
– When the Rangers are testing out their new powers, they all scramble up the side of a mountain. This is reaching but in episode two of MMPR, "High Five", Billy scrambles up a mountain to avoid a Putty Patroller. This lead to Trini's famous "Billy you're too high!" line. Billy was pretty high (literally, not in the drug sense) when he leapt over that canyon in the movie…
– During the morphing scene Trini is wearing a shirt that reads "1973." That was the year original Yellow Ranger actress Thuy Trang was born.
– The Rangers gaining super human abilities even outside of their morphed form is not the first time Rangers have had civilian powers. Thanks to the Dino Gems, the Dino Thunder team could turn invisible, move at high speed, and so on. In the film they just seem to enhance their natural abilities, but who knows how the coins will impact them over time.
– Both the original series and this new movie Kimberly is at least a former cheerleader.
– The way the Rangers helmets open up to show their faces strongly resemble the Ninja Storm helmets. Both visors open in nearly the same way.
– While you wouldn't expect a Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie reference in this film, it actually forms a link between all three of the big screen Power Rangers movies. All three only have one major ground fight sequence where the Rangers are morphed.
In the first movie it was the battle at the construction site. (We aren't counting the Ninja fight or the morph before the instantly jump into the Zords.) In Turbo it was the final fight in the volcano. Here it's after the team finally learns to work together.
Power Rangers Movie Cameos
– After the climactic Zord battle, two very familiar faces are prominently featured in the crowd. That's right, Amy Jo Johnson (Kimberly) and Jason David Frank (Tommy) get their small moment to shine. This also makes them the only two Power Rangers actors to appear in all of the Power Rangers movies.
Power Rangers Post Credits Scene
– We get a tease of a new student in detention, one Tommy Oliver. While Tommy wasn't known for being sent to detention in the series, he did have a tendency to miss out on fights for a variety of idiotic reasons, like forgetting his communicator or getting caught in a net. The reason for this in the original series was down to his Japanese counterpart not showing up in many fights.
Power Rangers Supporting Cast
– In the original series, Zordon was "an interdimensional being caught in a time warp." While it isn't exactly that in the movie, he is still stuck in what it basically the new command center. Unlike the series however, at least Zordon in the movie can zip around the command center as he pleases.
– Zordon's three rules for being a Ranger are nearly stated word for word in the film with one notable exception. In the series he told the Rangers,
"First, never use your power for personal gain. Second, never escalate a battle unless Rita forces you. And finally, keep your identity a secret. No one may know that you are a Power Ranger."
In the movie, he leaves out the "unless Rita forces you" bit, which was probably done to account for the highly likely chance the Rangers will be fighting other big bads besides Rita in future films.
– Alpha 5's trademark "Ai-yai-yai!" catchphrase is retained in the movie, although his back-story is more vague. In the series Alpha 5 was created by King Lexian from the planet Edenoi. King Lexian was the grandfather of Dex, better known as the Masked Rider who got his own spin off show. Sadly we don't know who built Alpha in the movie, but the potential to bring Masked Rider into the movie universe is there!
– We may be reaching here, but did any one else think the two girls bullying Kimberly might be the new Bulk and Skull? While the casting sheet lists their names as Amanda and Harper, they are a bully duo.
In MMPR Bulk and Skull tormented the Rangers and one of their first victims was actually Kimberly. They were constantly in trouble during Ranger battles, sometimes coming face to face with the monsters. The same thing happens to Amanda and Harper throughout the film, so the connection could have some merit.
– Throughout the film we meet the Rangers various parents, although none of them resemble the original team's parents at all. In "Return of an Old Friend, Parts 1 and 2" we met all the team's parents and they were near carbon copies of their kids. Jason's parents were meatheads, Billy's were dorks, etc. Each of the Rangers had a mom and dad while here Zack and Billy have single parents.
Power Rangers Villains
– Rita Repulsa was an evil alien sorceress who was locked in a space dumpster for ten thousand years until she was freed by astronauts. In the film she was in some kind of suspended animation at the bottom of the ocean. In both though, it's the result of some unwitting humans that leads to her returning to wreck havoc. If only us humans could just leave well enough alone!
– In both the series and movie, Rita uses her staff to make her monsters grow to enormous size. She also does this with her cheesy catchphrase, "Make my monster grow!"
– When Rita is defeated and sent off to space, she drifts past the moon. Perhaps this is a hint to her setting up a base there, as she did in the original series?
– Much like in the series, Rita is in possession of the Green Ranger coin. In the series it's never revealed exactly where she got it but here it was always her coin. This has now been touched on in the comics, although they aren't in the movie continuity sadly.
– Goldar doesn't bare much resemblance to his original series counterpart but, like the first episode, he's the first monsters the Rangers fight in the Megazord.
– The putty patrollers were introduced in the very first episode of the series and were made out of a special clay Finster had lying around the moon base. In the film they were basically golems, made out of whatever material Rita could get her hands on.
– An interesting detail, when Zordon is training the team to fight them, he mentions to aim for their chest area. Season two of MMPR introduced Lord Zedd's "Z Putties" which could only be destroyed if the giant z on their chest was touched. That sound lame? Yeah, it kinda was. In one episode Tommy no joke poked one to death. Thankfully in the movie they aren't quite that easy to defeat.
Power Rangers Movie Zords
– As the Rangers first roll out, the side tracking shot of them running is a near carbon copy of a similar shot that was used in the original Megazord formation sequence. Director Dean Israelite said this wasn't intentional but that, "subconsciously it probably was."
– As that Zord sequence happens, the Power Rangers: The Movie theme blares. Recorded by The Power Rangers Orchestra, this song was adapted from the original theme song by Ron Wasserman.
– Billy is the one who coins the name "Megazord" in the film while in the original series it was a term first spoken by Zordon.
Power Rangers Movie Story
– While the movie's plot is mostly original, several sequences are directly taken from the first episode of MMPR, "Day of the Dumpster." The scene where the Rangers reject Zordon's offer of the power and leave is right out of that episode, down to Jason hesitating before joining the others.
– The movie continues the series theme of working together being the ultimate lesson for every Power Rangers team to learn. Yeah it's simple, but it's Power Rangers.
– From the first few seconds of the movie we get a huge revelation that Zordon used to be the Red Ranger. While this never happened in the series, it was hinted that Zordon's soldiers had battled in the fight against evil. In "Green With Evil Part 2", we see a flashback of an unmorphed soldier fighting one of Rita's monsters.
– The Zeo Crystal is the source of power Rita desperately wants (even more than Krispy Kreme!). In the film it's stated that the there are Zeo Crystals in every planet. In the series, the Zeo Crystals' origins were never explicitly stated but the Crystal (there's only one) was brought to the moon by an ancient race from the M51 galaxy.
Without getting too deep into it (and believe me, I could write a whole essay on this), the Rangers had to split the Zeo Crystal into five sub crystals to keep it hidden from Master Vile. Zordon sent the sub cystals through holes in time to various locations throughout Earth's history. The Rangers then later retrieved them as kids (because Power Rangers, shut up) and they gave them the power to become the Power Rangers Zeo team.
The inclusion of the Zeo Crystal here strongly hints at future installments in the movie franchise. Could the movie Rangers use the power of earth's Zeo Crystal to upgrade their arsenal? With that power source available will they skip the Thunder and Ninja powers from seasons two and three respectively?
– While Zordon and Rita were basically aliens in the original series, the film explicitly shows they were alien Power Rangers. They aren't the first in the franchise's history. In season three, the Alien Rangers of Aquitar were introduced, as a sort of back up team while the main Rangers had temporarily become children. Other seasons included alien Power Rangers such as the Triforians in Zeo, Liarians in Turbo, Xyberians in Time Force, and many more.
– We don't know exactly which races Zordon and Rita are supposed to be, nor if Zordon's team were of the same race, but thanks to the movie press conference we know the language they were speaking. According to Elizabeth Banks, the Eltarian language was developed from scratch for the film, which Bryan Cranston could actually speak. Elizabeth Banks and Bill Hader simply learned it phonetically. In the series it was assumed Eltarians simply spoke English.
– Numerous references are made to the morphin' grid throughout the film. In the series the grid is a nebulous thing that pretty much changed whenever the writers needed it to. In season two Lord Zedd mentions the Grid is maintained by a balance between the forces of good and evil. In a Dino Thunder DVD extra it was a big rock. In Operation Overdrive it was a tunnel. Yeah, that thing makes no sense.
– Zordon mentions that the Power Rangers were a "legion of warriors." This is also true in the series, what with their being hundreds of Power Rangers. The comment also implies there's a long history of Rangers before this current team, which also has precedent in the original series. The Alien Rangers of Aquitar, the Gold Ranger from Zeo, the Phantom Ranger in Turbo, Andros in Space, and so on.
That line opens up the possibilities for other Ranger teams to exist in this new movie universe.
The Team Up That Nearly Destroyed Power Rangers

The Top 54 Power Rangers Episodes That Will Make You a Fan
Extra Bits
– During the end credits a remixed version of Snap!'s "The Power" plays. This original version of the song was used in commercials for the original Power Rangers movie and was featured on its soundtrack.
– While Rita is chomping down on some delicious Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the middle of the fight, you can hear Destiny Child's "Survivor" playing over the sound system.
– Angel Grove is of course the city where the original series takes place in although it wasn't a seaside town.
– While it isn't clearly seen in the movie, the logo for Angel Grove High School is lifted directly from the original show. No word on if their school song is still "Here we fly at Angel Grove High."
– As Jason's dad speeds through the streets of Angel Grove he mentions, "Cross section of Mariner Bay and Reefside!" These street names are the city names in Lightspeed Rescue and Dino Thunder respectively. Other street names not glimpsed in the film but revealed in behind the scenes shots include Silver Hills from Time Force and Amber Beach from Dino Charge.
– When Billy first hears about the powers, he wonders if they'll be "like Iron Man or Spider-Man?" This is a huge reach, but did you know Marvel and Power Rangers have a history? Not only have they both been owned by Disney (Power Rangers no longer is) but also in the 70's Marvel worked with the creators of Japanese Power Rangers (Super Sentai). Stan Lee actually wanted to bring Super Sentai over here in much the same way Haim Saban eventually did but couldn't get any traction.
– The mountain where much of the movies action takes place is heavily reminiscent of how often the original series would shoot as Vasquez Rocks. Looks like rock formations and Power Rangers go hand in hand.
– In one shot at Trini's house, if you look closely, you can see an original series Putty figure. In another you can see Finister and Squatt figures. We'll choose not to read too far into those.
