Is there anyone out there old enough to remember Meredith Daneman's novel A Chance to Sit Down? He became the Panamanian ambassador in London and was actively involved in the politics of Panama. Later that year, the couple debuted the title roles in Romeo and Juliet choreographed by. As the curtain dropped, there was an initial lull that broke out into thunderous applause. She returned for further studies with them the following summers. The couple also debuted Kenneth MacMillan's Romeo and Juliet. The performance was followed by a show-stopping performance of Le Corsaire Pas de Deux on 3 November.
In 1965, an anecdote says, they once received a 40-minute ovation and had 43 curtain calls. After searching for a book of photography by Felix Fonteyne, I could find none, and that raises the question of his notability very squarely. The book is interesting, and fairly thorough in an analytical way. The main hall in Dunelm House, the Student Union building at the University of Durham, is named the Fonteyn Ballroom in her honour, as is the foyer to the Great Hall of University College, Durham in Durham Castle. Not that it wasn't a good, enjoyable read. I was touched by her faithfulness to him and to his care. Her personal life after she marries Roberto De Arias reads like a complete reinvention, fueled by denial and some sort of self-loathing, it seems to me.
Photo with Helpmann is quite fine. In September 1940, as the London Blitz began, the Sadler's Wells Theatre was turned into an air raid shelter. This article was created or improved during the hosted by the project in July 2018. Whilst Margot continued her successful career, she was made a Dame of the Order of the British Empire in 1956, Tito planned an armed invasion of Panama City to try to win back some of the power he felt was rightfully his. A well-written article is often assisted by a good Table-of-Contents with good section headings to make the reading of the article easier on readers, and therefore enhances the well-written aspect of the article. In February 1944, she danced the role of the Young Girl in Le Spectre de la Rose and was coached by Russian prima ballerina.
The admiration of Petit gave her new confidence and assurance, which showed in her performance in Ashton's Don Juan, though she was injured on the first night, tearing a ligament in her ankle. She trained under and Volkova. She died from ovarian cancer exactly 29 years after her premiere with Nureyev in Giselle. I have no idea why it took me so long to read, but it did. Margot Fonteyn was a very interesting woman -- a devoted daughter, a bad judge of character especially when it came to men , a self-sacrificing wife, a sometime gunrunner and participator in failed Panamanian coups This weekend I finished reading Margot Fonteyn: A Life by Meredith Daneman. I enjoyed the book, but I would have liked to know more about the people she spent so much of her life working with - not the gossip, but how they ticked. Autobiografi Setahun yang lalu, di saat saya sedang liburan di Australia, di kota Melbourne, saya baru saja memasuki toko buku dan naksir berat buku yang mengisahkan Rudolf Nureyef.
It's a hell of a story. She danced until she was 58. During the war, Ashton created roles such as his bleak wartime piece Dante Sonata 1940 and the glittery The Wanderer 1941 for Fonteyn. Her first performance in the in 1949 was triumphantly received. Similarly, one does not write that an prima ballerina assoluta was previously a ballerina and a prima ballerina.
During the curtain calls, Nureyev reportedly dropped to his knees and kissed Fonteyn's hand. She returned from the American tour and in the 1954 season debuted in Entrada de Madame Butterfly, later called Entrée japonaise, in Granada, Spain, followed by her first performance as in the title role of The Firebird. So I got interested in reading more about Margot Fonteyn, the most accomplished ballerina in the 20th century. When she was aged 8 her father's work took the family to Shanghai. Margot Fonteyn was one of my heroines when I was a child, when I desperately wanted ballet lessons.
Above all, her autobiography is a revelation of a direct, warm-hearted person who believes that artists must take their art altogether seriously--and themselves not seriously at all; who finds her own fame difficult to grasp; who is worthy of what her audiences feel for her. Awards And Achievements In 1956, Margot Fonteyn was made a Dame of the Order of the British Empire. I would place her in the company of Pavlova, Ulanova and Plisetskaya. It's a really wonderful biography. Her mother brought her back to London when she was 14, to pursue a ballet career. I think that would be a deeper and more interesting book! They pushed her to achieve her best in what she loved doing. Possibly add his adopted last name and drop the red link.
About making her debut--as a Snowflake, at fifteen--with the emerging Sadler's Wells Company, under the demanding rule of the brilliant and volatile Ninette de Valois. After she retired, Fonteyn lived in Panama to be close to her husband and his children. At the end of the evening, she was officially pronounced prima ballerina assoluta of the Royal Ballet. In 1946, the company, now renamed the Sadler's Wells Ballet, moved into the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden where Fonteyn's most frequent partner throughout the next decade was Michael Somes. In 1936, she was cast as the unattainable muse in his Apparitions, a role which consolidated her partnership with , and the same year played a wistful, poverty-stricken flower seller in Nocturne. After the war, he returned to England with his second wife, Beatrice. The pairing became successful, and it was deemed as glorious in all of her careers.
She especially stood out in lyrical roles. This book is her story, from her first dance lessons in London to dancing for presidents. I am unable to cite publically available sources for the following so I have not made the changes to the main article but I do know from my personal records that I worked as a crew member on the series between 13 and 17 June 1979 when we travelled with Dame Margot to Barcelona to film on 16mm some sequences of Spanish and Catalan dancing, in the area around Sitges. But in Daneman's astute telling, Fonteyn's personal life proves more fascinating than her dance legend. She also performed notably in Coppélia, imbuing the role with humour.
Fonteyn began ballet classes at the early age of four, along with her older brother. The biggest problem in searching for him is that her fame is clearly higher than his and any search must contain -Margot or you will get few results. When the company visited the University of Cambridge for a brief professional engagement in 1937, Fonteyn first met , an 18-year-old law student from Panama who would later become her husband. In Shanghai she took ballet lessons from the Russian George Goncharov. She retired to Panama, where she spent her time writing books, raising cattle, and caring for her husband. She danced in revivals of Firebird and Petrouchka from the Diaghilev Ballets, staged by.

Art of the Etched Singing Bowl
by Shakti | Uncategorized
When etched bowls started flooding the market a few years ago, I passed them up because neither the quality of art, nor the bowls it adorned, were up to our Master-quality standards. Considering the extra cost that the etching work commanded, how could we justify the expense?
But a couple of years ago, I became inspired by the quality of art I was seeing at the home of one of my suppliers. Although the subjects were not always in keeping with traditional designs, I inquired if I could custom order designs for the Master-quality bowls I had selected. My supplier was happy to pass along our requests to the artist's workshop, which, it turned out, was just one young family: that of Suraj Shrestha his wife Neha. They were the artists who fulfilled all of my supplier's etched singing bowl orders exclusively.
We began to custom order designs, and Suraj's artwork resonated with our customers. So for my September trip to Nepal, I had requested a visit to his workshop in Patan, the artistic center of traditional Newari arts, located in the former kingdom of Lalitpur.
Suraj (32) lives in a three-story home with Neha (28) and their 4 year-old son, Sujyan. The family welcomed us with characteristic Nepali hospitality. Neha graciously cooked and served vegetarian bean dumplings and a smoky local chai. The couple is emblematic of new Nepal, their livelihood rooted in Newari art, but they met on Facebook.
Having no formal training, Suraj became interested in art around the age of 14. His father passed away when he was 3, so he was raised in part by his grandfather, a Newari craftsman. So at an early age, Suraj was exposed to his grandfather's work designing cast singing bowls and metal mala beads. Neha started producing art in 2012, and developed her natural talent for the work. Sujyan, while not taking pictures on the family smart phone, also practices the craft.
Suraj's studio takes up the northeast corner of his living room, where he and Neha design and paint the bowls. Their operation also involves a two-burner kitchen stove and a walk-in sink in the southeast corner of their living room. They complete the final phase of the acid bath on their roof.
Since I had requested to document the entire etching process during my two-hour visit, Suraj selected a 12″ Ultibati which would not require etching on the outside due to its pitch-covered exterior wall. The interior of the bowl is harder to paint than the exterior, as it is difficult to angle the brush to navigate the curvature of the inside wall.
Suraj started the process with a freehand cross in the center of the bowl's basin, over which he placed a small piece of electrician's tape. The tape acts as an anchor for the point of his compass, which was outfitted with a paint brush. He uses the brush, dipped in a cooked down, thick petroleum solution, to sketch out the ascending rings up the bowl's interior wall. Rotating the bowl on a lazy susan, he draws a series of lines from the base to about an inch below the rim. As he works, Neha continuously stirs the petroleum mixture to keep it from settling. Suraj refines the lines as he draws them, dabbing them with a cotton towel. Before long, he has drawn seven concentric circles in the basin, leaving approximately a six-inch space in the middle for a central image.
In this bowl's case, Suraj has chosen the central image to be the Buddha's Eyes, also known as the Wisdom Eyes. This iconic Nepali image depicts the Buddha's eyes and Third Eye, as well as a stylized nose that is the same shape as the Nepali numeral one. This symbol signifies the unity of all existing phenomena. The image reminds us that the Buddha is always watching us and our actions. The image is pervasive in Nepal, from tourist products and car decals to the steeples of Buddhist Stupas. At this point, Suraj removes the tape, and paints the rest of the work on the bowl in freehand. To create the central image, Suraj first sketches the eyes, nose and third eye with a red pen, then expertly fills it in with his brush. The inner 6 concentric circles of the basin pattern become a Yantra pattern, a mystical, geometric diagram from the ancient Tantric tradition said to be energized by the deity.
Returning to his original red reference lines, Suraj fills in perfectly straight connecting lines of the mandala image, visually measuring the distance between them with precision. These spokes will become flower petal shapes that become the next element of the central image: 12 windows which will house repetitions of the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum. The windows feature billowing curtains, a classic design that can be found in Newari thangkas.
To the next tier of the bowl's inner wall, Suraj adds his signature ring of fire, representing protection from negativity. This is another traditional design component he integrates into most of his work. First he draws the outline of the fire, then fills in the lines within the flames. The next tier is rows of petals, and the top row contains a traditional foliate pattern. When I asked him the Nepali term for the pattern, he simply replied "grass" with a chuckle.
Now that the acid is painted on, Suraj inverts the bowl on the kitchen burner and bakes for about 5 minutes until it hardens. He then cools it in running water. From there, the operation relocates to the roof.
There are tubs of nitric acid of varying sizes all around, but as this bowl will be etched only on the interior, Suraj pours the bright blue acid into the bowl up to the rim. After a 15 minute soak, he empties the solution out and scours the bowl until all of the petroleum is removed. The pattern is now visible on a shiny and golden interior surface.
Now comes the antique color which provides contrast to the image. This is Neha's expertise. She coats the bowl in sodium sulfide flakes, giving the golden bowl a bronze finish. She then adds a dark brown pitch, burnishing the patina and giving the pattern more definition. Their helper, Sharan Shreshta, paints a black pitch on the bowl's exterior, and then gives the bowl a final wash. Displaying the bowl proudly, he poses with the family for a portrait.
The pride the family puts into their work is so evident, and so worth it, in our opinion. The extra cost of our etched bowls are passed along to this family, and they lead a comfortable, middle-class life with a bright future. This is in keeping with Bodhisattva's corporate mission: to keep the traditional Newari crafts alive and preserved for future generations.

An update on HDD technology roadmaps by Seagate showing the much vaunted HAMR and dual actuator technologies deploying in CY19-20. These dates seem to continually push out… Tom Coughlin also adds some color to the Register article here.
Energy assisted recording like MAMR and HAMR better start delivering to their hyped-up expectations before QLC flash starts displacing them in data-centers! The aforementioned 2019-2020 date for HAMR HDD's may not be soon enough.
Backblaze discusses an effective to save time and effort by collaboratively developing using the cloud. I think a lot of folks are doing this now, but some large companies are still clinging to older development models. The future is cloudy and foggy!
… and to underscore the ongoing demand for cloud compute, check out AMD's latest 7nm Epyc 'Rome' processors with Zen2 cores and TSMC as the foundry. It looks like Amazon is an early adopter. AMD also previewed their datacenter GPU roadmap in this article.
On the client SSD side, here's a review of the Crucial P1 1TB QLC flash-based SSD. It's expensive and slow but still faster than a HDD! This drive relies on SLC flash buffering in front of the QLC, BTW. It remains to be seen how (or whether) QLC based flash drives will compete in the enterprise segment… see above!
A tried and true way of gaining market share during an industry downturn is to innovate and sell something nobody else has at a lower cost and with higher performance. Perhaps SK Hynix has this with their '4D flash' technology with the '4th dimension' being peripheral logic sitting underneath the flash, but this looks somewhat like other 3D flash variants and cannot be accurately termed '4D'. Good luck selling the hype guys; let's see the products delivering higher areal density!
What's worse than having poor encryption on your drive? Well, having one of these drives and believing your encryption is working when it is not!! Yikes!
Tight 'constrained' silicon wafer supply in the face of steady to increasing demand indicates to me that we may see some steadying in the large flash price declines of late. When you have an issue getting raw materials or elsewhere in the materials pipeline (like dicing or lapping), there is typically a triage done to allocate available materials to the highest margin products. I doubt flash will fall into this category. … but wait, China silicon is coming online rapidly (eg: Shanghai Zing Semi, et al) and if their wafers are pure enough, could cause a market glut in CY19.
The drip drip drip of IP theft has resulted in an indictment of two companies and 3 individuals that allegedly stole DRAM technology from Micron. The monetary impacts are huge, so I am glad something is being done as this has been a persistent (and largely unaddressed) issue for many years.
An 'off the shelf' supercomputer on the ISS has been tested extensively over the past year. Stock hardware has some reliability issues up in space (a well shielded enclosure sounds like a really, really good idea), but the core system does seem to work acceptably for extended periods of time. Results to date show a very high SSD failure issue which would be catastrophic, so perhaps MRAM or other SCM might be a better archival memory approach.
We should keep track of the progress of the SPARC Tokamak system as a viable fusion reactor design would revolutionize global power generation and spark (no pun intended) a new technological revolution in just about everything we do in coming decades. These high temp superconductors (if sufficiently low cost) will also be useful in other industries, perhaps even the data storage biz.

Earth itself is a backwater now, a place with which the people of Orbitsville maintain only marginal contact. But just because it's backward doesn't mean it isn't dangerous.
Orbitsville Judgement
Orbitsville is the scene of two of Bob Shaw's most successful novels and is possibly the most gigantic artefact ever dreamed up by an SF writer - a vast hollow world completely enclosing its sun, habitable across its entire inner surface. At the end of ORBITSVILLE DEPARTURE the whole world was shifted to an alternative universe. In a conclusion which is both stunning and moving, ORBITSVILLE JUDGEMENT tells what happens next...

Why You Should Travel to Hong Kong for The Chinese Lunar "Spring Festival" New Years Lantern Parade and Fireworks Display.
The New Year's parade in Hong Kong is an event not to be missed! The city is dressed up with bright decorations and colorful lights for its biggest celebration of the year, and thousands of people pour into Hong Kong to take part in the festivities.
Winding along Hong Kong's picturesque waterfront, the New Year's parade is filled with colorful, lavishly decorated floats.
Representatives from Hong Kong and countries all over the world sing, dance and play music. The songs of marching bands fill the air along the parade's route as performers in bright costumes prance along the streets.
No matter which zodiac animal is being celebrated for the coming year, there are always plenty of lions and dragons in the parade.
Energetic dancers wearing giant lion heads leap in the air as long dragons held aloft by more than twenty people snake past the enthralled parade watchers.
The New Year's parade is the biggest event of Hong Kong's Lunar New Year celebration.
Close to 300,000 people attend the parade and millions more watch it on television. In recent years the parade has taken place in the evening, featuring vivid, dazzling light displays.
The Lunar New Year is one of Hong Kong's most important and well-loved holidays. Each year one of twelve different animals is celebrated, according to the Chinese zodiac.
Many of the city's towering skyscrapers are decked out in glittering lights for the holiday. Throughout the three-day celebration, dancers in colorful costumes perform lion and dragon dances in the streets, malls and hotel lobbies.
"Traditionally, people exchange small, red envelopes filled with money as gifts.
Flower markets show up all over the city during the holiday, selling plants and flowers with special significance, and stores and restaurants display flowers meant to bring immortality and good luck.
The New Year celebration usually begins anywhere from January 21 to February 19, depending on the year.
While the holiday officially lasts fifteen days, in Hong Kong it is celebrated for three days, with the New Year's parade taking place on the first day.
The day after the New Year's parade a brilliant display of fireworks lights up Hong Kong's famous Victoria Harbour.
The fireworks can be viewed from the waterfront or from boats cruising the harbour.
On the third day of the celebration a large horse race takes place at the Sha Tin racetrack. This lively race is a favorite for gamblers and horse racing enthusiasts.
It's no wonder why so many travel to discover all that Hong Kong has to offer, with the vibrant fusion of ancient customs and modern day fun at one of the world's biggest Chinese New Year celebrations.

Q: Simulate human click or Keypress event to select from dropdown menu I'm trying to select an option from a category dropdown through a chrome extension with javascript and jquery. When I normally select an option from the first dropdown menu, the values ??in the second dropdown menu change based on my selection.
I tried to select an option with many different methods, here are most of them:
in jquery
$("#categorisation_1").val($("#categorisation_1 option").eq(4).val());
$('#categorisation_1').val('5: Object').change();
$('#categorisation_1').val('5: Object').dblclick();
$('#categorisation_1>option:eq(5)').prop('selected', true);
$("#categorisation_1").val('5: Object').trigger('change');
$('#categorisation_1').val('2: Object');
$('#categorisation_1>option:eq(5)').attr('selected', 'selected').trigger('change');
$('#categorisation_1').find('option:eq(3)').attr('selected', true);
in javascript
document.getElementById('categorisation_1').options[3].selected=true;
document.getElementById('categorisation_1').value = '9: Object';
document.getElementById("categorisation_1").selectedIndex = 1;
document.getElementById('categorisation_1').getElementsByTagName('option')[10].selected = 'selected';
document.getElementById('categorisation_1').value = '9: Object';
document.getElementById('categorisation_1').focus();

********************
Array.from(document.getElementById('categorisation_1').options)
    .filter(x => x.value === "9: Object")[0]
      .setAttribute('selected', true);

Nothing worked... They change the value in the category dropdown but it doesn't trigger the changes in the next dropdown. Is there a way to select an option as if I was human, via javascript or Simulate pressing a button on the keyboard or any other method?
here is the source code of the first drop down menu

Q: What's the difference beetween NSCoder's encodeObject: and encodeObject:forkey:? In NSCoder, you can call encodeObject: and encodeObject:forkey:. And this for many data types. What is the difference beetween those calls? How to use them? Why isn't there a encodeDataObject:forkey: or encodePropertyList:forKey:?

A: Keyed vs. Unkeyed Accessors
Most of the time you just call the encodeSomething:forKey: method and supply a key that you later use to get the value back from a decoder:
- (void) encodeWithCoder: (NSCoder*) coder
{
    [coder encodeObject:someProperty forKey:@"someProperty"];
}

- (id) initWithCoder: (NSCoder*) decoder
{
    self = [super init];
    if (self) {
        [self setSomeProperty:[decoder decodeObjectForKey:@"someProperty"]];
    }
    return self;
}

The unkeyed version of the call is older, I guess that serialization used to work differently back before 10.2.
Specialized Object Accessors
There isn't a separate encodeDataObject: call since NSData conforms to NSCoding, so that you can encode it using regular encodeObject:. The same applies to property lists – a property list is just a dictionary, and a dictionary is a regular object that can be encoded using encodeObject:.
What maybe got you confused is the number of specialized methods for encoding primitive types like BOOL or NSUInteger. These have to do with the type system. When encoding and decoding objects, the interface can use the id type and it works regardless of the particular object type:
// can pass NSObject*, NSData*, any object
- (void) encodeObject: (id) anObject {…}
- (id) decodeObject {…}

There is no such general, "wildcard" type for primitive types, therefore the number of specialized getters and setters:
- (void) encodeBool: (BOOL) flag {…}
- (BOOL) decodeBool {…}

Theoretically you could use void* and cast, but that's clumsy and the encoding interface wouldn't know the size of the object to encode anyway.

What goes up must come down: Fujitsu helps to clean up space with first-of-its-kind mission optimiser
Less than a year on from the UK Space Agency committing £1 million in funding to combat space debris, Fujitsu UK has successfully combined quantum-inspired computing and Artificial Intelligence to support the transformation of space debris removal.
Fujitsu's prototype –created in collaboration with the University of Glasgow, Amazon Web Services and Astroscale UK – will improve mission planning so that a single spacecraft can efficiently select which pieces of space debris to remove in one mission, and at a much faster rate than is currently possible.
The removal of space debris is key to sustainability in space, reducing, or even preventing, the risk of obsolete spacecraft colliding with new and existing satellites.
What's more, supporting debris removal missions with Fujitsu's technology will help to reduce the risk of catastrophic collisions in orbit which could create thousands of other pieces of new debris, all of which pose a very real threat to working satellites in orbit.
By carefully deciding which debris is collected and when, the quantum-inspired offering, powered by Digital Annealer, optimises the mission plan to determine the minimum-fuel and minimum-time required to bring inoperable spacecrafts or satellites safely back to the disposal orbit. Finding the optimal route to collect the space debris will save significant time and cost during the mission planning phase, and also as a consequence will improve commercial viability.
With 2,350 non-working satellites currently in orbit, and more than 28,000 pieces of debris being tracked by Space Surveillance networks, this technology will help the UK to grow its market share in the space sector. It will also further support the UK Government's commitment to a more sustainable future overall.
Dr Matteo Ceriotti, a Lecturer in Space Systems Engineering, and PhD student Giulia Viavattene, have been leading on the project for the University of Glasgow, said: "The University of Glasgow has been involved in this project from the very outset – developing the trajectory models needed to effectively remove space debris, as well as estimating the cost of the transfers.
"The University has a long history of expertise in space trajectory design and optimisation so we were keen to be at the forefront of any government-led initiatives to enhance the UK's reputation in the space sector. With the help of Fujitsu, AWS and Astroscale UK, we've helped to overcome challenges in space debris removal to make future projects much more straight-forward."
Ellen Devereux, Digital Annealer Consultant at Fujitsu UK & Ireland, said: "All Space Debris poses a potential collision risk to the operational systems many of us take for granted – from weather forecasting to telecommunications.
"With the UK Space Agency's backing, along with Astroscale UK, AWS and the University of Glasgow, we've designed a solution to optimise the mission planning of a servicing craft before it is sent into space – meaning organisations like Astroscale UK can pick up more debris, more quickly than ever before.
"It not only makes the process much more cost effective for those organisations needing to transfer and dispose of debris, but utilises AI and quantum inspired computing too.
"What we've learned over the course of the last six months, is that this technology has huge implications for optimisation in space; not only when it comes to cleaning up debris, but also in-orbit servicing and more. Now we better understand its potential, we can't wait to see the technology applied during a future mission."
Jacob Geer, Head of Space Surveillance and Tracking, UK Space Agency, said: "Monitoring hazardous space objects is vital for the protection of services we all rely on - from communications devices to satellite navigation. This project is one of the first examples of Quantum-inspired computing working with artificial intelligence to solve the problems space debris causes, but it's unlikely to be the last.
"The UK is committed to ensuring the sustainability of space, and Fujitsu, working with Astroscale UK, The University of Glasgow and AWS, have demonstrated the real-world significance of keeping space uncluttered, assuring its accessibility for future generations."
Stephen Wokes, Engineering Director, Astroscale UK said: "Finding the optimal mission plan manually is time consuming and complex. Astroscale UK is leading a pioneering next step for the End-of-Life Services by Astroscale (ELSA) Programme to remove not just one piece of debris, but multiple debris objects with a single servicer satellite, known as ELSA-M, which presents a substantially more economical way of removing debris from orbit. By coming together with Fujitsu, AWS and University of Glasgow, we hope to optimise this task even further for future missions."
The research has been carried out as part of the UK Space Agency grant "Advancing Research into Space Surveillance and Tracking" The project, which was developed over six months in accordance Government Digital Services guidelines, leverages both Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-based rapid trajectory design algorithms, developed by the University of Glasgow, alongside Fujitsu's Digital Annealer and Quantum Inspired Optimisation Services to solve some of the main optimisation problems associated with ADR (Active Debris Removal) mission planning design.
Amazon Web Services, provided the Cloud and AI and ML tools and services to support the project. The Amazon Sagemaker toolset was used to rapidly develop the ANNs that accurately predict the costs of orbital transfers in a fraction of the time it would take to calculate them in full. Astroscale UK, the world's first commercial company to start a demonstration mission to remove debris from the lower Earth orbit, is providing the end-use case as a representative user of multi-target mission optimisation.
Fujitsu, who spearheaded the project, is one of just seven UK companies to be awarded a share of over £1 million from the UK Space Agency to help track debris in space. The UK Space Agency and Ministry of Defence have announced the next step in their joint initiative to enhance the UK's awareness of events in space.

Two weeks after the shock of Canada's UNSC debacle, discussions concerning the larger implications of that disaster continue. And so they should. Among the many possible messages, it is clearly time to turn the page on Pearsonian Internationalism and to get on with the job of rebranding this country as the globalization nation.
Where else but in Canada could a professor named Naheed Nenshi get elected as mayor in a place like Calgary? That happened only days after the electoral meltdown in the General Assembly, and the two events taken together represent a powerful symbolic combination – an epochal coda, and quite possibly a new beginning in the history in our national life.
But, in the meantime, back to some final thoughts on diplomacy and war.
Those who serve the state as warriors are largely spared these stresses and strains. They are protected by their training and their ethic which, more than in any other profession, cultivate the ideal of unquestioning obedience to higher command. The diplomatist may well experience malaise when required to execute policies which seem to him likely to result in war; for the onset of war is to him a signification of his failure.
War, as Eayrs observed, represents the failure of diplomacy, and recourse to violence is diplomacy's antithesis. Distilled to its essence, and at its best, diplomacy embodies, and gives voice to three of the most elemental human qualities: reason, understanding and the capacity to communicate. Diplomacy may be, in the words of retired American Ambassador Charles Freeman, "the most difficult of the political arts." It is also one of the most undervalued, but it helps keep the wheels on the civilizational cart, and holds the key to approaching a perilous future by design rather than by default.
When considering these questions, most analysts of international relations have focused on the observation that over the course of the 20th century both the nature of conflict and the motives which inspire it have been made over completely. And of course this is true. World War I was a contest between nation-states fought by regular, uniformed soldiers in set-piece engagements. Today's violent confrontations are more often asymmetrical or intra-state, and may include the participation of child soldiers or shadowy mercenaries employed by contractors with political connections. In those days men fought for the glory of their country, their empire, their King, Tsar, or Kaiser. Today, men fight less for flags than for ideals, like freedom or social justice, or for religious beliefs, or over ethnic and tribal differences, or over control of resources like water, oil and minerals. In the case of volunteer and private armies, the main motivation for participation might be a paycheque, or the mercenary lifestyle, or the prospect of leaving their past behind.
In about two weeks, before I am able to pen my next post, it will be Remembrance Day. Back in 1914, the contest was profoundly state-centric and territorial, up close and personal. Across opposing lines often only a few hundred yards apart you could sometimes see your enemy's face. Fixed positions and trenches which barely moved over the course of years of attacks and counter-attacks ensured the loss countless young lives. But yesterday's bayonet charges on blood-drenched bunkers have been supplanted by a kind of carnage more random, impersonal and disconnected – predator drones, cruise missiles, precision guided munitions.
For mass audiences in today's world, war has taken on the qualities of a remote-control video game. Death has become more anonymous.
The lines have blurred, and now anyone, anywhere can become a target.
Then as now, military thinking had not caught up. In 1914 it remained mired largely in the doctrines of the pre-industrial past – essentially the use of large formations for purposes of taking and holding additional physical territory in order to tip the perceived balance of power in your direction. Similarly, those responsible for framing today's strategic calculus have yet to move their mind-set far enough beyond the Fulda Gap in Central Europe. Estimating the order of battle in conventional conflict, or even the throw weights of ballistic missiles seems somehow a more comforting task for war planners than contemplating counterinsurgency or how best to defend against suicide bombers or improvised explosive devices.
Immediately after the war, from 1918 – 20, the world was ravaged by a flu pandemic, against which its exhausted population had few natural defences, and for which the response was hindered by the damage caused by the conflict. Total casualty numbers, estimated at about 50 million, far exceeded those incurred in the fighting.
There is undoubtedly a lesson there, too, especially a propos the grave risks associated with the failure to prepare for unanticipated or unconventional threats, not least those with their roots in science and their branches in technology.
It is to that theme, and the discussions on the role of diplomacy held recently at the 2010 Canadian Science Policy Conference, to which we shall presently return.

Michael Bruce: Unwritten Songs
Some of the new musical theatre composers find a groove and stay in it. Take Scott Alan, for example. While he does compose the occasional lighter song (e.g., Seventeen, What Was His Name?) he specialises in the angsty torch song that makes for a good audition and/or cabaret number.
Try and categorise Michael Bruce, though, and you'll have a harder job. As his debut album, Unwritten Songs, shows, he is as comfortable with the plaintive love ballad as he is with the raucous, crowd-pleasing, uptempo pastiche. Launched last night with a sold-out cabaret at the Delfont Room, this is an album which never sits still, refusing to rest in any genre.
Several of the tracks on Unwritten Songs come from Ed: The Musical (songs by Michael Bruce, book by Stuart Price), which won two Musical Theatre Matters Awards at the 2009 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, including the nod for Most Promising New Musical. Look for an indication of which songs they are within the CD sleeve notes, though, and you won't find any. Each song is treated as a standalone number, mixed with some of Michael's other songs, either from other musicals (e.g., Someplace Beyond the Moon), cut from other projects, or written as standalone pieces. The overall result is a disc that's chock full of variety.
Buy Unwritten Songs on iTunes

You could categorise Unwritten Songs' tracks into "musical" and "cabaret" numbers if you wished. There are certainly a preponderance of comedy songs, from Emily Tierney's "Continental", which mixes operatic trills with a Cole Porter-ish eye for comedy with bite, to I Want a Man (a duet sung by Sarah Lark and Sarah Earnshaw on the album, with Earnshaw's role being taken by Zoe Rainey at Sunday's cabaret), a shopping list of requirements for an ideal partner that will spark recognition from any person who is, or who has ever been, single.
Perhaps the least successful of the comedy numbers is "The Musical Theatre Song", sung by Anna Jane Casey, but only because its freneticism and melody owe far too much to Stephen Sondheim to be really indicative of Michael's skill.
In contrast, there is a comedy song which Julie Atherton sang at Michael's 2009 gala concert at the Apollo theatre and has revived several times since. Known until now to those who have heard it as In a Disney Way, Portrait of a Princess shows the darkness behind the incessant perkiness that characterises the Hollywood idea of the fairytale princess.
The song is the crowning glory of the album, and it's no surprise that it's effectively being treated as the "single release", with its own video which, even within 24 hours, shows signs of becoming a viral hit on the internet:
The sheer silliness of Portrait of a Princess does threaten to overshadow the rest of the album, though. And that would be a shame, as away from the comedy numbers, there is a sensitivity and truth in the more conventional songs that deserves closer attention. Jessie Buckley gives a haunting rendition of It's Not Gonna Rain, while Michael Xavier closes the album with the delicate, poignant Unwritten Song.
Whether your musical theatre taste veers to the serious, the romantic, the comic or the downright hilarious, Unwritten Songs offers something to satisfy you. One of its biggest downsides is that we're surely now going to have to wait quite a while for Micahel Bruce's second album…

Nature calls: Smartphone app aids Diversity weekend in Godfrey

Emily Ehley of The Nature Institute searches for uniquer plant species to document during Backyard Biodiversity Weekend. The event continues Sunday, both in Godfrey and virtually through the use of a smartphone app.
Emily Ehley of The Nature Institute searches for uniquer plant species to document during Backyard Biodiversity Weekend. The event continues Sunday, both in Godfrey and virtually through the use of a smartphone
GODFREY — Low-tech nature met a high-tech nature app on Saturday as volunteers with The Nature Institute at 2213 S. Levis Lane in Godfrey kicked off a socially distanced weekend of measuring the area's flora and fauna using anybody with a smartphone, a good eye for detail and curiosity about the natural world.
Participants in the Backyard Biodiversity Weekend on Saturday and Sunday don't even have to be at The Nature Institute to take part, as the real-meets-virtual event allows users of the free iNaturalist app to upload images that help scientists get a much better idea of the living things in the Riverbend area.
"All you have to do is take a picture on your smartphone and put it on the app and it helps identify the different things and helps to keep track about what's living in an area," said Emily Ehley, environmental educator at The Nature Institute. "We are encouraging people to get outside, whether here or in their own backyards, and learn a little bit more about all of the things that are living around them that they may not normally have noticed."
The Nature Institute decided to hold the Backyard Biodiversity Weekend after COVID canceled plans to hold a Bio-Blitz this spring., A Bio-Blitz is where a large group of people come together in one location to find as many different living species as they can in a short time frame.
"This is our way of reconfiguring things so people can do things individually but still be connected to this big picture and getting that data together," Ehley said. "iNaturalist is a really easy to use platform for gathering data, and scientists actually go in and look at where things are being seen in these areas. They are able to use that data for their own research."
Ehley said most residents who search for biodiversity are amazed at the number of different migratory birds that frequent the area due to our proximity to the Mississippi River. She also said that people are always surprised at the quantity and variety of non-vertebrate animals that can be found anywhere they look, and to make the point she and education director Ramona Puskar overturned a log and immediately found a Darkling Beetle.
"Looking for little things like insects can be really exciting too," Puskar said. "We invite people to lift up logs and look under leaves and they are really surprised by how many types of insects and small things are all around them that they wouldn't necessarily notice if they didn't go looking for it."
"We want to encourage people to be excited and curious rather than scared of all the other living things that they have around them," Puskar said. "Learn a little bit more, rather than just reacting, 'oh, a spider!' Instead, think about what kind of spider it is, and where it lives."
Puskar said that as a complement to the Backyard Biodiversity Weekend, interviews with scientists have been posted on The Nature Institute's Facebook page and Youtube channel that comment on the wealth of living things to be found in the Riverbend area.
The Nature Institute is a non-profit land conservation and environmental education organization based in Godfrey that hosts field trips and programs and owns and manages more than 450 acres of protected land, including the Olin Nature Preserve, the Mississippi Sanctuary, the Kemp and Cora Hutchinson Bird Sanctuary, and the Heartland Prairie Project at Gordon Moore Park.

Record total of 65 hopefuls selected in PBA Rookie Draft
THE Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Rookie Draft for Season 46 was successfully held virtually on Sunday with a record 65 players selected in the proceedings.
Considered by many to be one of the deepest drafts in recent league history, with a pool of 86 eligible applicants, the 12 teams took turns in picking players who they think can help them in their campaigns in the upcoming season and beyond.
As expected, Terrafirma Dyip made do-it-all, Filipino-American player Joshua Munzon the top overall pick while selecting another Fil-foreigner in Jordan Heading in the special Gilas Pilipinas draft.
Mr. Munzon, the country's top 3×3 player who also paraded his wares in the ASEAN Basketball League and the PBA D-league, is seen to be one of the key cogs for the Dyip in the post-CJ Perez era.
Scoring champion Perez was traded to the San Miguel Beermen early this year.
Mr. Heading, meanwhile, will be on loan to Gilas, joining fellow Terrafirma player draftee Isaac Go, to help the national team prepare for international competitions.
The Dyip also picked 6'10" player James Laput eighth overall in the first round then selected Dhon Reverente (third round), Michael Javelosa (fourth round), Immanuel Custodio (fifth round), and Terrence Tumalip (sixth round).
University Athletic Association of the Philippines one-and-done Jamie Malonzo of De La Salle University, meanwhile, was chosen second in the regular draft by the NorthPort Batang Pier.
The high-flying Malonzo played only one season for the Green Archers but instantly made an impact, averaging 15.8 points and 9.9 rebounds.
It is something he hopes to bring to the new-look Batang Pier, who made notable player changes this offseason.
"I'm excited and I think I'm prepared and ready to make an impact immediately with the team," said Mr. Malonzo after being drafted.
NorthPort selected Ateneo's Will Navarro in the Gilas draft and Troy Rike for the 11th pick in the regular draft.
The NLEX Road Warriors selected third, picking collegiate standouts Calvin Oftana (San Beda) and Tzaddy Rangel (National University) in the regular and Gilas draft, respectively.
In the second round, the Road Warriors went for University of the Philippines' David Murrell.
The TNT Tropang Giga, who made moves in the lead-up to the draft to land on number four, picked Fil-foreign guard Mikey Williams.
They also selected Jaydee Tungcab of UP for the Gilas draft and Michael Simmonds in the third round.
The Rain or Shine Elasto Painters, now coached by Chris Gavina, chose Santi Santillan of La Salle at number five and Franky Johnson, Anton Asistio and Andrei Caracut in the second round.
Perpetual Help's Ben Adamos, meanwhile, was made the sixth overall pick by the Alaska Aces, who took Taylor Browne (second round) and RK Ilagan (third round) after.
The Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters picked Letran big man Larry Muyang at number seven in the opening round and selected Nick Demusis and Aljun Melecio back to back in the second round.
In the fifth round, the team picked collegiate journeyman Jerie Pingoy, who could not help but be emotional, vowing to work hard to earn a spot in the team.
The Meralco Bolts made burly scorer Alvin Pasaol from the University of the East the number nine selection.
At 10th, the Magnolia Hotshots Pambansang Manok went for Adamson gunner Jerrick Ahanmisi.
The 12th and last pick in the first round was with reigning Philippine Cup champions Barangay Ginebra San Miguel Kings, who went for former Far Eastern University big man Ken Holmqvist.
The Blackwater Bossings and San Miguel Beermen did not have first-round picks because of deals they made previously, but made up for it in the succeeding rounds.
Among the players Blackwater got were Rey Mark Acuno and Joshua Torralba (second round), Andre Paras (third round), and Jun Manzo (fourth round).
San Miguel, for its part, picked Allen Enriquez (third round) and Mohammad Salim (fourth round).
The draft proceedings lasted until the eighth round, with former Jose Rizal University and UE player Jed Mendoza the last player to be picked by NorthPort.
"It is going to be an exciting PBA season with all these rookies coming in. I'm sure our veteran players will not allow themselves to be outdone, so I'm sure we're going to see exciting action," said PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial.
The previous record of players selected in the draft was 54 set in 2015.
The PBA is targeting to begin its Season 46 on April 11 pending approval from the government over health and safety concerns in relation to the pandemic. — Michael Angelo S. Murillo


Sagar had problems. His professors and friends say he struggled with English since he was from a Bengali-medium school. He suffered from depression and exam phobia.
On May 1, Sagar Mondal, an undergraduate student of Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Kolkata, was found hanging inside a bathroom in his hostel. He was 18. A "bright student", Sagar came from an underprivileged scheduled caste family.
Student suicides are becoming increasingly common in India because many find it difficult to cope with failure in examinations and careers.
India has one of the world's highest suicide rates for youth aged 15 to 29, said a 2012 Lancet report, illustrating the need for urgent interventions for this demographic.
According to 2015 data (the latest available) of the National Crime Records Bureau, one student commits suicide every hour. In 2015, the number of student suicides stood at 8,934. In the five years leading to 2015, 39,775 students killed themselves.
Unfortunately, even the best educational institutions don't have psychiatrists to help students cope with academic and personal pressures. This is because there is a severe shortage of mental health professionals in the country.
IISER, however, did have one. Sagar consulted him in April last year.
Soon after Sagar's death, IISER set up a fact-finding panel under a senior professor.
But a different report, a section of professors allege, was sent to the ministry of human resource development.
The sentence about "extreme anxiety" and "unsteady mind" were omitted.
Students say that the atmosphere inside the university is "frustrating" due to lack of extra-curricular activities.
"While it is difficult to directly link Sagar's suicide with the stifling atmosphere inside the campus, and lack of professional counselling for students, an isolated, walled campus must have a congenial and atmosphere to ensure wellbeing of students. And that is missing from IISER," a professor told HT.
(Hindustan Times has sent emails to IISER director RN Mukherjee and the ministry of human resource development, asking them about the two versions of the report on Sagar Mondal's death, and what kind of psychiatric help is available for students in the campus. This report will be updated as soon as HT gets their responses).

Example
import androidx.compose.ui.test.hasScrollAction
import androidx.compose.ui.test.assert

private fun assertNodeIsScrollable() {
    findNode().assert(hasScrollAction())
}

Facebook is the clear leader among social media companies in terms of referrals to mobile e-commerce sites, but social's overall share of mobile e-commerce remains low, according to a new study from Business Insider's BI Intelligence.
Citing data from Moovweb, BI Intelligence found that Facebook accounted for 1.32% of all referrals to mobile e-commerce sites, representing half of all traffic from social media sites and 64% of total revenue from social referrals. By contrast Pinterest generated just 0.16% of all referrals to mobile commerce sites, and Twitter contributed a paltry 0.04%. Pinterest accounted for an outsized share of revenue from social referrals, at 16%.
Although social's share of traffic to e-commerce sites remains relatively small, it's growing fast, jumping 200% from the first quarter of 2014 to the same period in 2015, according to BI Intelligence. At the same time the rise of mobile presents a number of challenges: for one thing, social media users on mobile devices are 35% less likely to share posts from retailers than they are on desktop.
Unsurprisingly, all the big social media platforms have been positioning themselves to capture more e-commerce dollars in recent months. In July, Google began testing "buy" buttons in its mobile search results, and Facebook revealed it is experimenting with shops in Facebook Pages, enabling brands to transact e-commerce directly from the Facebook platform. The new functionality builds on Facebook's previous introduction of a "buy" button, which enabled users to buy specific products featured on the site, by adding product discovery for a more complete shopping experience.
After a limited test period beginning last September, Twitter is rolling out its new "Buy" buttons, more widely through a partnership with Shopify and other e-commerce platforms. The integration between Twitter and Shopify will bring "Buy" buttons to Twitter accounts for roughly 100,000 merchants in the U.S. who already use Shopify software for e-commerce, enabling them to sell products from tweets.

Q: Ubuntu 12.04 blank screen after login I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit on a machine, everything went well accordingly but
after login it just gives me a blank screen. During startup after BIOS message it shows
"Out of range" error and comes to login window after logon it's just a blank screen. even after somehow it comes to an empty desktop screen i dont see the Unity bar or anything like that (Can change wallpaper, and system setting though).
And can't goto Console mode by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 - > it returns "Out of range" error.
System is new AMD Sempron with 2 Gigs of RAM has NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE-based graphic chipset.
any ideas on this?

A:
"Out of range" error

This is not from your BIOS.  This is coming from your monitor.  It is a message from your monitor that whatever signal is being sent to it is out of the display range capabilities of the monitor.  Most likely it is the resolution of the text-only mode that you would see while the system is loading, especially considering that when you attempt to return to it by bringing up the console, you get that error again.
EDIT Just to be clear, there are two separate issues here.  The Out of Range issue isn't related to why Ubuntu doesn't load fully once the GUI is up.

A: I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my sister's HP Pavilion laptop (about 4-5 years old) with AMD 64 processor and NVIDIA graphic card and I had the same problem.
I could right-click on the desktop and create folders and even access system settings but I couldn't see the Unity Dash bar nor the upper task bar.
To fix the problem, I just right-clicked and access the system settings. I went to Additional Drivers and removed the active NVIDIA driver (which was actived and marked as recommended). I rebooted and the problem was fixed!
Since the graphics display correctly and I'm getting quite a decent graphical experience without the driver, I'm going to leave it like this. I'm also able to get full resolution too, so no compromise.
