Orientaciones estratégicas
El Consejo Nacional de Innovación para el Desarrollo propone orientaciones estratégicas que fortalezcan la innovación y den coherencia a las políticas públicas relacionadas. Estas se ordenan en función de las prioridades relativas a las preocupaciones del país, recomendando la localización de esfuerzo públicos apreciando su consistencia con los objetivos principios establecidos en la estrategia nacional de innovación.

Entre otros ámbitos, estas orientaciones se refieren a:
Acuerdos transversales en torno a prioridades nacionales La complejidad propia de los desafíos del siglo 21, hace imprescindible la convergencia de múltiples actores con diversidad de visiones para levantar un tejido relacional que dé sustento a una acción país en función de un sueño compartido. Nuestra historia reciente nos ha hecho ver la necesidad de generar espacios de discusión y acuerdo que permitan sostener acciones de política que requieren plazos que van más allá de los ciclos de los gobiernos. Este fenómeno es constatado a nivel mundial por diferentes sectores que se han visto fuertemente desafiados a dar cuenta de la creciente complejidad observada en la mayor parte de las crisis. Una generalizada pérdida de confianza en las capacidades de los estados, en la idea de "buen gobierno" e incluso en la idea de "progreso", abren un espacio para repensar no solo el "qué" sino el "cómo" de la innovación que queremos para el desarrollo.
Ciencia y tecnología al servicio del desarrollo ¿De qué y cómo vamos a vivir las chilenas y chilenos? Desde estas grandes preguntas es que hemos reflexionado sobre el aporte de las ciencias y la tecnología en todos los ámbitos del quehacer nacional. Tal como se señala en el informe "Un Sueño compartido para el Futuro de Chile", aspiramos a que a 2030, la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación se hayan convertido en pilares fundamentales de nuestro desarrollo en todas sus dimensiones y en todos los rincones de Chile, que sean parte de nuestra vida cultural, social y económica, y nos permitan apreciar y aprovechar las condiciones únicas de nuestro territorio. Relevamos la necesidad de atreverse a definir dónde concentrar esfuerzos científico-tecnológicos y de innovación, que además le den a Chile una posición de liderazgo a nivel internacional, aportando a desafíos globales. La naturaleza de estos desafíos requiere de una aproximación que integre las distintas áreas del conocimiento, así como de un esfuerzo sostenido en el tiempo.
Una comprensión más amplia de la innovación La política de innovación ha tenido un marcado sesgo hacia el uso de mecanismos de financiamiento, y ha prestado escasa atención a otras herramientas, como normas y regulaciones o las compras públicas, que pueden ayudar a impulsar el cambio. Asimismo, hasta hace poco su foco de atención principal y prácticamente exclusivo era la actividad empresarial, descuidando el ámbito de lo social o de la propia acción pública como espacios muy relevantes de innovación. Este fenómeno nos pone de lleno en el desafío de modificar el marco conceptual con el que el sector público define su rol como promotor de la innovación, desde corregir fallas del funcionamiento de los mercados a través de instrumentos puntuales, hacia favorecer la coordinación de agentes públicos y privados, promover la acción colectiva e incorporar a los diversos actores -y a la ciudadanía más en general- en los procesos.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were deposited on polyethylene napthalate (PEN) by rf sputtering using different rf powers (60 and 120 W) and at different substrate temperatures (room temperature and 100°C). Selected PEN substrates were pretreated using an Ar plasma before ITO sputter deposition. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry was used to determine the oxygen content in the films. Hall effect measurements were used to evaluate the electrical properties. In this paper the influence of defect structure, sputtering conditions, and the effect of annealing on the electrical and optical properties of ITO on PEN have been investigated. Electrical properties such as carrier concentration, mobility, and resistivity of the ITO films varied with rf power and substrate temperature. The electrical and optical properties of the films changed after annealing in air. This study also describes how the as-deposited amorphous ITO changes from amorphous to crystalline as a result of heat treatment, and investigates the effects of Sn defect clustering on electrical and optical properties of the ITO films.

LNP candidate for Gladstone Ron Harding takes extreme pride in the certificates of appreciation on his office wall that illustrate his contribution to the Gladstone region over 25 years. Picture: Rodney Stevens
LNP reveals business owner as Gladstone election candidate
Rodney Stevens, rodney.stevens@gladstoneobserver.com.au
15th Jul 2020 12:00 AM
THE LNP has announced Ron Harding as its candidate for Gladstone to take on Labor incumbent Glenn Butcher at the October 31 state election.
Federal Queensland Senator Matt Canavan and Flynn MP Ken O'Dowd will join Mr Harding to officially announce his candidacy today.
The CQ Tools owner of 25 years-plus has been a prominent Gladstone figure and supporter of the region, contributing money and equipment to businesses, after himself beating intellectual challenges to land his dream job.
In recent years, Mr Harding has donated equipment to Central Queensland Radiology, backed trainees and been acknowledged in Queensland parliament for his philanthropic deeds.
"I am extremely proud, happy and humbled to be selected as the LNP candidate to serve my community, which has given me so many happy memories over the years," he said.
"I have spent many years helping out my community, which I am extremely passionate about, and I have loved every minute of it.
"If I could do this all for nothing, to help out the community that I love, I would do it in a heart beat.
"I moved up here many years ago and I absolutely love the Gladstone region, and I will fight for the community with every last breath I have."
For years Mr Harding has harboured the ambition to give back as much as he can to make Gladstone the best city it can be.
"I have a burning desire to get into politics and I am putting my heart, mind, body and soul into it," he said.
"I am on a mission to ensure the community gets what they want, so for me politics is only about giving, not taking, and if I could do it for nothing I would.
"That's how passionate I am to achieve my burning desires for the community of Gladstone."
Mr Harding was a driving force behind the HMAS Gladstone project at East Shores which is set to open to the public soon.
He has been involved with the project in a private capacity for many years.
He donated $20,000 from his own pocket to fund the staircase to board the HMAS Gladstone and allow patrons to view the boat and engine room.
"That to me is just a donation to my community, for something I am extremely passionate about, which I have have been doing for more than 25 years," he said.
The soon to be open former Royal Australia navy ship is now part of the Maritime Museum.
Work on the project has been completed by local companies McCosker Contracting and Wells Constructions.

Photostory #1: Canada's Scientists Get Behind the Servicemen
Chris Lund , Herb Taylor
What happens to the brain cells of a jet-fighter pilot who is subjected to "G" during steep turns and pullouts? What causes sea and air sickness? What should an infantryman eat and wear in below-zero Arctic temperatures? In laboratories across Canada, in the frozen wastes of the North, and in the scorching heat of simulated tropics, scientists and doctors of the Defence Research Board are probing for answers to these, and other, related questions. They are finding out exactly what the body can take, and then how they can bolster it to withstand the stress and strains imposed on its resources. Their primary concern: to keep the well man well and at top operating efficiency. Working on a tri-service scale with a bewildering array of apparatus and instruments, D.R.B. research teams are carrying out tests dealing with foods, clothing, sonics, and human resources. They study the reaction of bodily machinery to high-altitude pressure changes, determine the mental and muscular co-ordination levels of flyers at supersonic speeds. And with equipment of their own design, they can chart the sensitivity of a Naval recruit to motion sickness, or measure a jet-pilot's tolerance to the "G" imposed by high-speed aerobatics. Their findings have developed tastier and more nourishing rations for troops, new techniques and drugs for treatment of burns, wounds and frostbite, lighter and warmer clothing for Arctic living and fighting. In the final analysis, it is this concern with human factors that will make the serviceman much more able to meet the increased demands of his job, whether at the rarefied jet-plane height of 40,000 feet, or in the humid stickiness of a 102∞ tropical jungle.

This morning, the sun rose, and it was glorious. The nightmare of the night before was over. The power came back on, in the middle of the night, after we burned both batteries in our phones, using one for light and mine for i Heart Radio, on CJAD.
By 1 a.m. both batteries were dead, and we went to sleep.
All of our nieces and nephews were very glad we came for the day, including Melissa and her new hubby, Stephan. We even got a special shout out at the reception by Melissa, because there were a number of us there, from far away, like France, England and from all across the country. We did not expect that, it was very cool.
The wedding chapel was beautiful s were the dresses. Melissa's gown was gorgeous, and the groomsmen were very dapper. We were very pleased to know that our presence was special to those that it mattered to.
During the ceremony, the bride and groom had a "hands" ceremony. Standing in front of family and friends, the officiant spoke about the two hands being held together, Melissa and Stephan. I grabbed hubby's ring hand and held it in mine as they recited the hand vows. We both cried … It was a beautiful moment.
We had great conversations and caught up with family we have not seen, since the last family reunion we had in Ottawa many, many years ago. We all pledged to each other that we would take time in the future to visit people and places.
The venue was fantastic. The food was outstanding. The menu was varied for every taste, our young crowd is very "food conscious" we all ate very well. We ate more tonight than we usually do on any given day.
It was good to be seen, and very important to be seen as well. We may have been the only gay couple in the room, some of hubby's family came to our wedding 14 years ago, and longevity is the key, in marriage.
But more important is … To Be Happily Married !!!
Some people, are not happy at all.
But all that matters is that the younger adults were happy to see us.
Tomorrow is a long day of train travel back home for everybody.
My father in law cam solo, as my mother in law is recovering from spinal surgery, and is not doing well at all. They are both growing too old to remain in the homestead much longer and he mentioned selling the homestead. Hopefully sooner than later, before something catastrophic happens to one or the other.

Anga era un reino que floreció en el subcontinente indio oriental hacia el siglo VI a. C. hasta que fue invadido por Magadha en ese mismo siglo.

En el texto budista Angutara-nikaia se lo contaba entre las «dieciséis grandes naciones» (sholásh majayanapadas).
En el texto yaina Viagña-pragñapti se lo menciona en la lista de antiguas yanapadas ('naciones').

En épocas posteriores se menciona a los angas como personas de origen «mixto».

Nombre sánscrito

 aṅga, en el sistema AITS (alfabeto internacional para la transliteración del sánscrito).
 अंग, en escritura devanagari del sánscrito.
 Pronunciación:
 /ánga/ en sánscrito o bien
 /áng/ en varios idiomas modernos de la India (como el bengalí, el hindí, el maratí o el palí).

Dos etimologías

Según el Majabhárata (1.104.53-54) ―texto épico-religioso del siglo III a. C.― el nombre Anga se originó como epónimo del nombre del príncipe Anga, el fundador del reino, que era un bárbaro (alguien que no nació en el norte de la India).
Según el Matsia-purana (48.19) era hijo de Dánava Risabha ('líder de los demonios').

Según algunas escrituras ―el Majabhárata y algunos Puranas―, el rey Bali Vaióchana, hijo de Sutapa, no podía tener hijos. Entonces le pidió al sabio Dirghatamas, que lo bendijera con hijos. El sabio le dijo que tendría cinco hijos en su esposa, la reina Sudesna.
Los hijos recibieron los nombres de Anga, Vanga, Kalinga, Sumha y Pundra.
Más tarde estos príncipes fundaron reinos a los que pusieron sus propios nombres. El príncipe Vanga fundó el reino de Vanga (en la región del actual Bangladés y parte del estado indio de Bengala Occidental). El príncipe Kalinga fundó el reino de Kalinga, en la región del actual estado indio de Orissa e incluyendo los Sircars del norte.

En cambio el Ramaiana (1.23.14) narra el origen del nombre Anga como el lugar donde el bello Kamadeva fue quemado vivo y descuartizado por el colérico dios Shiva. Sus restos (anga significa 'miembros') quedaron dispersos en toda la región.

Historia

La primera mención de un pueblo anga se produce en el Atharva-veda (5.22.14) ―que es uno de los textos más antiguos de la India, de principios del I milenio a. C.― donde se los menciona aparentemente como un pueblo despreciado junto con los magadhas, los gandharis y los muyavatas.

En el Garuda-purana (55.12), el Markandeia-purana (56.16-18) y el Visnu-dharmottara (1.9.4) se divide a los antiguos países yanapadas en nueve regiones, y se ubica a los angas, los kalingas, los vangas, los pundras (que ahora son parte de Bijar Oriental, Bengala Occidental y Bangladés), los vidarbhas y los vindia-vasis (habitantes de los montes Vindhia) en la división Purva-Dakshina.

Algunos Puranas también enumeran a varios reyes tempranos de Anga. El Maja-govinda-sutanta menciona al rey anga Dhatarata. Los textos yainas se refieren a Dadhi-Vajana, como gobernante de los angas. Los Puranas y el Jari-vamsha lo representan como el hijo y sucesor inmediato de Anga, el fundador epónimo del reino. Tradiciones yainas lo ubican al principio del siglo VI a. C.

Entre los vatsas y el reino de Anga vivían los magadhas, que al principios eran comparativamente un pueblo débil. Una gran lucha continuó entre los angas y sus vecinos del este. El Vidura-pandita-yataka describe Rayagrija (la capital de la región de Magadha) como la ciudad de Anga. El Majabhárata también se refiere a un sacrificio realizado por el rey de Anga en el monte Visnupada (en la ciudad de Gaia). Esto indica que inicialmente Anga había logrado anexarse a los magadhas, y por lo tanto sus fronteras se extendían hasta la región Matsia.

Este éxito de Angas no duró mucho tiempo. A mediados del siglo VI a. C., Bimbisara, el príncipe heredero de Magadha, mató a Brahma Datta, el último rey independiente de Anga y se apoderó de Champa. Bimbisara la convirtió en su capital y gobernó como virrey de su padre. A partir de entonces, Anga convirtió en una parte integral del creciente imperio Magadha

Ubicación

Basado en el texto del Majabhárata, el reino de los angas correspondía aproximadamente a los distritos de Bhagalpur, Banka, Purnia, Munguer, Katijar y Yamui (en el actual estado de Bijar y los distritos de Deoghar, Godda y Sajebgansh (en el estado de Yarkand). Posteriormente se amplió para incluir Malda y Uttar Dinashpur (en el estado de Bengala). El río Champa (actualmente llamado Chandan) formó los límites entre Magadha (en el oeste) y Anga (en el este). Anga estaba delimitada por el río Koshi en el norte. Según el Majabhárata, el malvado rey Duriódhan nombró a su amigo arquero plebeyo Karna como rey de Anga.

El «Sabha-parva» ―el 'capítulo de la sala de reuniones'― del Majabhárata (2.44.9) menciona a Anga y Vanga como un solo país. El Katha-sarit-sagara también da fe de que la ciudad anga de Vitankapur estaba situada a orillas del mar. Por lo tanto los límites de Anga podrían haberse extendido hasta el océano Índico en el este.

Capital

La capital de Anga era Champa. Según el Majabhárata y el Jari-vamsa, Champa era conocida antes como Malini.
Estaba situada en la margen derecha del río Ganges, cerca de su confluencia con el río Champa. Era una ciudad muy floreciente y ―según el Digha-nikaia― era una de las seis ciudades principales de la India antigua. En el estado indio de Bijar, la región de Bhagalpur ―generalmente identificada como el sitio donde se encontraba Champa― todavía tiene dos aldeas llamadas Champa Nagara (aldea de Champa) y Champa Pura (ciudad de Champa).

Champa se caracterizaba por su riqueza. Fue un gran centro de comercio, y sus mercaderes navegaban regularmente a la lejana Suvarna Bhumi ('la tierra del oro') con fines empresariales. Durante su peregrinaje allí en el final del siglo IV, el monje chino Faxan tomó nota de los numerosos templos budistas que todavía existían en la ciudad, y transliteró la palabra Champa al idioma chino.
Para ese entonces el reino de Anga hacía mucho tiempo que había dejado de existir. En chino había sido conocido como Yāngjiā (鴦伽).

Se pensaba que el reino de Champa (en la actual Vietnam) se había originado a partir del Champa indio, aunque la evidencia antropológica indica que sus habitantes provinieron de Borneo, en el otro lado de la península de Indochina.

Otras ciudades importantes de Anga eran Assapur y Bhádrika.

Mr Murugayah Suppiah and his wife Govindan Ira were supposed to solemnise a marriage one evening two years ago.
But before they could do so, Mr Suppiah received a telephone call informing him that the bride-to-be had given birth that very morning.
That was how they found themselves officiating a marriage ceremony in a hospital.
While Mr Suppiah was concerned if the new mother was up to it, the couple wanted to be married on the same day that their child was born.
"It was a simple ceremony attended by the family, but we were very happy to have done something for the couple and their baby," he said.
Mr Suppiah, who runs his own insurance company, and Madam Govindan, a retired teacher, are both 72 and have been wedding solemnisers for 11 years.
Yesterday, the spotlight was turned on wedding solemnisers like Mr Suppiah and Madam Govindan at an event to thank them at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel. Speaking at the event attended by more than 400 licensed solemnisers, Minister for Social and Family Development Tan Chuan-Jin encouraged the solemnisers to share advice with couples to reassure and encourage them.
"You are not just there to officiate a marriage. It is an opportunity for you to play a key role in ensuring the couples start off on the right foot," he said.
A special tribute was also paid to pioneer solemnisers who have been volunteering their services since the 1970s, as well as Justices of the Peace in service for 27 years.
The event coincided with the 55th anniversary of the first civil marriages registered in Singapore, which refer to those administered by the Registry of Marriages (ROM) and exclude those under the Registry of Muslim Marriages.
Couples who had registered their civil marriage at ROM in September 1961 can get a commemorative marriage certificate from the registry.
Couples, or their family members and friends, can contact ROM to register for the certificate, which will be issued from the end of next month.
There are currently 1,104 licensed solemnisers, close to double that in 2002. Together, they conduct around two-thirds of all civil marriages in Singapore every year, or 20,000 marriages. The rest are officiated by ROM staff.
Solemnisers, who are volunteers, are drawn from religious leaders, grassroots leaders and Justices of the Peace, for instance.

Turtle Barye - Bronze
Hand patinated reproduction. Mold made from a print of the original work made by Barye.
Breaking with the long tradition that saw in the animal only an accessory, a decorative motif or, at best, a form of allegory, the sculptor Barye was interested in the animals themselves, carefully studying their anatomy, seeking to grasp them, in their attitudes as in their movements.

Antoine Louis Barye (1796-1875)
Son of a Parisian goldsmith, Antoine-Louis Barye (1795-1875) began his apprenticeship in an engraver's workshop and continued with the goldsmith Bicunais from whom he learned the different stages of metalwork, from melting to chiselling. From this hard apprenticeship, he retained the precision of line and the sharpness of drawing. In 1816, he entered the workshop of the sculptor Bosio, and in 1823 of Fauconnier, goldsmith of the Duchesse d'Angoulême; there he started modelling figurines of small animals. It was then that he studied animals at the "Jardin des Plantes", observing their attitudes and movements. His desire to treat in sculpture the animal for its own dramatic values brought the artist violent criticisms. Barye's style remained unique and this form of romanticism in the sculpture of animals would not be found again. Attracting little esteem from official circles, Barye ceased exhibiting at the Salon after 1837. But many wealthy amateurs, such as the Duc d'Orléans, took interest in his non-academic form of art. The bronze production of his small sized works ensured his success with a large audience.

Q: How to use user created variable in the same Test Case later in Robot Framework? I am new to RF. I want to use user created variable later in the test case.
First I assigned value to a variable ${PL_VIN} using keyword "Get Text". Now I want to input this value to a text box.In "Output.xml" file I am able to see that the value is assigned to ${PL_VIN}.But when using it later i am getting error that "Variable not found". Do i need to add this user created variable to Locators file?
Script:
Assigned value as below:
${PL_VIN} = Get Text    ${VIN_Search Result_Title_WO_Acc_Info}

Using it later in the same test case as below:
Input Text  ${VIN_Test Box_Wrk_Dup_Title_WQ}    ${PL_VIN}

Output in output.xml
When Getting text:
msg level="INFO" timestamp="20150624 23:13:22.561">${PL_VIN} = SED1T0751ES624687</msg>

When using it later:
Variable '${PL_VIN}' not found. Did you mean: ${BPO_Link}

A: I think your line with varaible assignment misses a tabulator and output.xml just prints the line of source code.
Try
${PL_VIN} =    Get Text    ${VIN_Search Result_Title_WO_Acc_Info}
Log To Console    ${PL_VIN}    # just for debugging

if that does not work, the problem is the implementation of Get Text. It is not a built-in keyword but probably from selenium2library. If so, make sure that SED1T0751ES624687 (the value ${VIN_Search Result_Title_WO_Acc_Info} apparently resolves to) is a valid locator and check the whole output of output.xml for other error messages.

Q: How to use the 'replace' feature for custom AngularJS directives? Why does replace=true or replace=false not have any impact in the code below?
Why isn't the "some existing content" being displayed when replace=false?
Or putting it more humbly, can you kindly explain what is the replace=true/false feature in directives and how to use it?
Example
JS/Angular:

HTML:

    <my-dir>
some existing content
</my-dir>

See it in Plunker here:
http://plnkr.co/edit/4ywZGwfsKHLAoGL38vvW?p=preview

A: replace:true is Deprecated
From the Docs:

replace ([DEPRECATED!], will be removed in next major release - i.e. v2.0)
specify what the template should replace. Defaults to false.

*

*true - the template will replace the directive's element.

*false - the template will replace the contents of the directive's element.

-- AngularJS Comprehensive Directive API
From GitHub:

Caitp-- It's deprecated because there are known, very silly problems with replace: true, a number of which can't really be fixed in a reasonable fashion. If you're careful and avoid these problems, then more power to you, but for the benefit of new users, it's easier to just tell them "this will give you a headache, don't do it".

-- AngularJS Issue #7636

Update

Note: replace: true is deprecated and not recommended to use, mainly due to the issues listed here. It has been completely removed in the new Angular.

Issues with replace: true

*

*Attribute values are not merged

*Directives are not deduplicated before compilation

*transclude: element in the replace template root can have unexpected effects
For more information, see

*

*AngularJS $compile Service API Reference - Issues with replace:true

A: When you have replace: true you get the following piece of DOM:

hello

whereas, with replace: false you get this:

    <my-dir>

hello

    </my-dir>

So the replace property in directives refer to whether the element to which the directive is being applied (<my-dir> in that case) should remain (replace: false) and the directive's template should be appended as its child,
OR
the element to which the directive is being applied should be replaced (replace: true) by the directive's template.
In both cases the element's (to which the directive is being applied) children will be lost. If you wanted to perserve the element's original content/children you would have to translude it. The following directive would do it:
.directive('myDir', function() {
    return {
        restrict: 'E',
        replace: false,
        transclude: true,
        template: '
{{title}}

'
    };
});

In that case if in the directive's template you have an element (or elements) with attribute ng-transclude, its content will be replaced by the element's (to which the directive is being applied) original content.

Climate change (also referred to as climate disruption) is a considerable threat to the biota of Pima County and beyond and therefore warrants special attention in any large‐scale planning process such as Pima County's Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan and Multiple‐species Conservation Plan. During the 20th Century, the earth's surface warmed by approximately 1.0°F, a trend that appeared to be even more severe in the Southwestern United States. Climate models for the 21st Century show ever‐increasing temperatures and prolonged drought in the Sonoran Desert. Precipitation is expected to become more variable and most models for the Sonoran Desert predict a slight increase in summer precipitation but significant decreases in winter precipitation.
Species shifts in abundance, distribution, and phenology.
The extinction risk from climate change is greatest for those species that are already at risk, such as many of the Priority Vulnerable Species that formed the foundation of the planning effort for the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan. Climate‐driven effects on ecosystem structure and function (e.g., fire, nutrient cycling, succession, and invasion by exotic species), coupled with non‐climate related threats (e.g., off‐road vehicle use, mining, and pollution), will effect Priority Vulnerable Species and other species and their habitats in Pima County. As a first approximation of effects on specific species, I provide a qualitative evaluation of 49 species that are proposed for coverage in the forthcoming Habitat Conservation Plan for Pima County. Not surprisingly, the most significant climate‐related impacts are likely to be to aquatic and riparian species.
Given the anticipated effects of climate change on natural resources in Pima County, it will be critical for climate assessments to be included in any natural resource planning effort by the County such as restoration projects and the ranch management programs. To facilitate these assessments, Pima County must continue to be engaged with the scientific and land management community to promote regional adaptation strategies into the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan. Monitoring and adaptive management programs and processes, led by both the County and our partners, will also be important. Finally, minimizing the use of fossil fuels (the most significant contributor to climate change) through the facilitation of a compact urban form, and promoting investments in energy efficiency in housing and urban infrastructure will lessen Pima County's contribution to a warming planet.

Sappho took a side trip today to visit #6 at his bungalow in the Village. She found the atmosphere electric as he told her about having discovered the secret fallout shelter under the hotel in the Village. He recounted how on one of his attempts to escape the Village, he had accidentally discovered a hatch along the abandoned hedges at the beach. When he investigated further and opened the hatch, he found a network of tunnels under the Village, culminating in a heavily fortified bomb shelter. He described the comforts of the shelter to Sappho, but the one photo he managed to take gave Sappho a good idea of the modern decor afforded to those who would be privileged enough to occupy the shelter in dire times.
Sappho was overwhelmed at this recent revelation, and returned to her more modest bungalow to watch re-runs of 'The Prisoner' series on her old black and white TV which she had bought in the 1960's. Patrick McGoohan was one of her favorite TV stars.
Sappho had read about how Patrick McGoohan had created the series, written 7 of its episodes, had created a 40 page draft of Village life as a backgrounder to the story and had serendipitously discovered that a plastic weather balloon could take the place of a menacing 'Rover' which the film crew had originally built out of wood but which sank to the bottom of a lake on its first 'menacing' mission.
Sappho had a large collection of books about fallout shelters. Some of the titles were "The Fallout Shelter Handbook from 1962", and 'The Congressional Fallout Shelter at Greenbrier Resort". These titles reminded her of the tensions in the early 1960's.


Critical repairs to Provincetown Town Hall will cost in the range of $1,300,000, and a complete restoration would likely rise beyond $6 million, based on an architect's presentation before town leaders last night.
PROVINCETOWN — Critical repairs to town hall will cost in the range of $1.3 million, and a complete restoration would likely rise beyond $6 million, based on an architect's presentation before town leaders last night.
But those estimates came with a second warning from structural engineer Arthur MacLeod — that the building should not be occupied during a severe storm or hurricane. And Town Manager Sharon Lynn announced that town employees will not spend another winter in the building.
Lynn said she plans to have the building vacated by early November and that she and other town officials have begun the search for new locations for the estimated 30 people who work there.
A plan of where to place the town employees and the cost associated with the move is expected by the middle of June, she said.
"We have a team together," Lynn said.
On March 17, architect Wendall Kalsow of McGinley Kalsow & Associates of Somerville delivered an unexpectedly dire report on the physical soundness of the building, in the center of town at 260 Commercial St.
The building's exterior columns, which support the roof, balcony and auditorium floor, are undersized and the roofing is unstable, among other issues, Kalsow said last night.
Town officials will likely be ready to seek bids for the renovation by late August or early September, Lynn said.
Members of the board of selectmen said the panel still needs to decide on the timeline for the renovations and how to pay for them.

Q: Not able to run application using external IP in GCP I have set up an ubuntu 18.04 machine with 16 gb memory in GCP.
Have reserved a static address and created a firewall rule where i have allowed TCP port 8888.
IP range i have given 0.0.0.0/32.
Installed jupyter lab and its running fine on port 8888 but when im opening in my browser with external IP address its not opening saying that external took too long to respond.
Am i missing anything here.

A: In Google Cloud Platform all TCP ports except a few (like 22) are firewalled by default at "VPC Network" level.
You have to go to Firewall under VPC Network on your GCP Console and add a rule to allow "Ingress" access to your machine.

A: The issue here i was facing was because of the change in IP address. The IP address of source machine which i mentioned in the firewall rules was no longer available for me. IP address got changed so just updated the new IP address there in firewall rule and i was able to run the Jupyterlab


SHE is one of the strongest women I know. Over the years, she had lost her husband, a daughter, a son, her mother, and just recently (in October 2017) – her father. Could one really understand the intense sorrow and emotional numbness that she experienced over the loss of her loved ones?
SHE is my mother, and I am the only child she has now.
My blog has been quiet since the passing of my maternal grandfather in October last year (barely a year after the passing of my maternal grandmother). Please accept my apologies, I will start to blog again soon.


According to reports from Digital Trends, Google is in talks to purchase Whatsapp, the popular multiplatform messaging app for a fee around $1 billion dollars. In order to shore up its social media offerings to better compete with Facebook. Facebook has been reported to be in talks to acquire Whatsapp before now. The Big G has been rumored to be working in consolidating it's communication under one banner "Babel", and sees Whatsapp as the final piece of the puzzle in its arsenal.
Whatsapp is by far the biggest messaging platform outside certain restrictive markets (China, Korea), and has consistently topped the apps charts in over 100 countries with over 18 billion messages sent through Whatsapp on New Year's day. And Google's acquisition of Whatsapp would see it leapfrog its major competitors to become the go to social media network, as it already has popular sites such as GMail, YouTube, Google+.

Preview: Cardinals Return from Bye to Face Bears
How to watch information, previews, injuries and key players for the Arizona Cardinals' road game against the Chicago Bears.
Alex Weiner
The Arizona Cardinals are back from the bye week and need a win to stay atop the NFC standings.
While they were away, the Green Bay Packers took down the Los Angeles Rams to become the second team after Arizona to win their ninth game at 9-3.
The Packers are off this week, but hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over the 9-2 Cardinals.
The Cardinals travel to their former city, Chicago, to face the 4-7 Bears on what is looking like a cold, rainy and windy afternoon.
Like many Cardinals games over the last month, who will suit up remains a question mark, this time for both teams.
Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins remain questionable. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said they will each be game-day decisions.
Chicago's rookie starting quarterback Justin Fields is listed as doubtful, and head coach Matt Nagy told reporters that veteran Andy Dalton will play in his place.

Kingsbury said the Cardinals are refreshed after the bye week, and the potential return of several key players will be instrumental to their final stretch run.
He wants to see improvement as far as consistency after the break. The Cardinals have had stellar games, especially on the road where they are 6-0 with all double-digit wins.
But Kingsbury wants to see gradual improvement on all fronts.
© Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports
"At times, I thought we played really good, complementary football, but in certain games, we didn't reach the level that we would like to," Kingsbury said. "I think our best football is out in front of us."
The Cardinals enter this matchup in the top five in scoring and points allowed in the NFL.
The Bears, meanwhile, have a mid-tier scoring defense and have produced the fourth-fewest points in the NFL per game.
Their offense has surpassed 20 points only three times all season. Arizona scored fewer than 20 just twice.
Chicago leans on the run game, throwing the ball at the third-lowest percentage in the league (47.6%).
"They have a lot of good skill guys," Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said. "(David) Montgomery is an NFL back who runs hard and breaks tackles."
The Cardinals have progressed as a run defense.
They went from allowing 5.1 yards per carry over the first five weeks to 4.1 since. Still, there have been some games when opponents tore open the cracks, notably the Panthers in Week 10.
© Michael Chow-USA TODAY Sports
The Bears also surrender the most sacks in the league with 37 in 11 games.
The Cardinals are equipped to take advantage with the eighth most sacks in the league. Edge rushers Markus Golden and Chandler Jones are each in the top 11 in the NFL.
The road map is clear for the Arizona defense: stop the run on early downs to set up third-and-long situations. Then, let the pass rushers loose.
On the other side, the Bears have struggled to defend the pass, allowing the fifth-highest passer rating and 10th-most yards per completion.
Where the Bears can do damage is getting to the quarterback, as they are second in adjusted sack rate.
Defensive end Robert Quinn leads the team with 11 and has three multi-sack games against the Cardinals in his career.
"I think their front is dominant," Kingsbury said. "It's as good a front as we'll see, the linebackers run all over the field, are smart players there."
The key for whether Murray can play is if can he evade the pass rush to avoid getting hurt again.
If so, the Cardinals should move the ball, especially if Hopkins is also back in action.
Even with backup Colt McCoy, Arizona was able to march down the field efficiently in two of three of his starts.
In a cold environment, establishing the run with James Conner will be of much importance.
The Bears have been a middle-of-the-pack rush defense this year, although multiple injuries in the front seven may hinder their ability.
"I'll give it a go before the game," Hopkins said Friday.
Murray mentioned Wednesday that he was hopeful to play.
The duo has not taken the field since Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers, and the Cardinals want to be cautious. They have hefty aspirations this year, and putting their stars at risk before they are ready is something to avoid.
"We want to finish the right way this season," Kingsbury said. "So we're just trying to be smart about it."
For Chicago, linebacker and lead tackler Roquan Smith is questionable. With defensive tackle Akiem Hicks out, if he is unable to play, that would be a double blow to the Chicago defensive front.
Edge rusher and 2016 Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack is already on injured reserve.
It has been a long and mostly painful history for the Cardinals against their former city roommates.
Their first matchup was in 1920 when the Chicago Cardinals took down the Decatur Staleys, 7-6.
Over the last century, the Bears are 57-28-6 against the Cardinals, having won seven of their last 10 meetings. The most recent game was in 2018, a 16-14 win for Chicago in State Farm Stadium.
Wide receiver Christian Kirk had 90 receiving yards that day and Jones had a sack.
Murray and Kingsbury have yet to play them.
Howard Balzer
RB James Conner
This is no revelation but on a windy afternoon, Conner will love grinding as he recalls his cold-weather past.
OLB Markus Golden
Golden will be lining up against a rookie or 39-year-old tackle Jason Peters and should be able to make a lot of noise in this game.
LT D.J. Humphries
Chicago boasts a defensive front with talented names, and regardless of Kyler Murray's status, protecting the quarterback will be vital in keeping Arizona's offense humming.

This article provides a critical survey of English-language feminist work in aesthetics since the early 1970s. The aim is to focus on those areas of feminist inquiry that have most significantly affected philosophical aesthetics in the analytic tradition. Feminist aesthetics starts from the assumption that the historical domain of art and the aesthetic is itself patriarchal. At one level, it simply extends the analysis of patriarchy to the practices of art institutions, in particular to the treatment of women in and by these institutions (e.g. demotions in the status of female-authored artworks previously believed to be the work of male artists).
Keywords: feminist works, aesthetics, philosophical aesthetics, analytic tradition, art institutions, female-authored artworks

About meI can't remember a time when I wasn't an avid reader; now I enjoy sharing books with my not-quite teenage son. We live in Sonoma County, where I'm a full-time student, working toward a degree in Evolutionary Biology. I'm also an artist, singer (soprano), birder, and BookCrosser.
About my libraryI've entered all of the books I can remember reading over the course of my lifetime; I'm sure I'm missing a good number, but certainly all those which made a big impression are listed here, with at least a short review. I've decided not to try and catalogue all the books I own; they'll make it onto the list after I've read them (I have a few thousand books in my home; it would take me forever to enter them all here, and some of them will probably never be read by me, so I'm not going to make that effort). I am also keeping a wish list here, though, so I can keep track of books I don't own, but would like to read someday (tag: wish list).
A word about my ratings. Obviously, overall, I'm rating books on how much I enjoyed them, or how well I feel they serve their "purpose" (the thoroughness of educational books, for example). I recently made one change, though, to the way I'm using ratings. I've decided to only give a rating of five stars to those books which really touched my heart or my life in some way; in other words, to my absolute, all-time favorites. This means I've recently down-graded several books I previously listed as five-star, which is unfortunate in a way, because many of them were excellent books, worthy of the stars. But having too many five-star books in my library kind of makes the rating meaningless to me, personally. So, I suppose it's fair to say that anything I have rated at least four-and-a-half stars is a book I thought was excellent, and well-worth reading.

Marika Hackman – Live @ Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen
aaamusic | On 20, Mar 2014
Tuesday 18th March, London
Tonight's support takes the form of Eaves, Joseph Lyons' Leeds based project. Back to basics and nowhere to hide, it is just him and his guitar, no pedals and no effects – it is something of an organic performance. 'Laura', his first song, provides the audience with an introduction to his broody folk sound featuring sweet cherub-like guitar playing and vocalisations that resound through the speakers. The next song 'Perch' is of full emotional depth, with sorrow and inherent contemplation at its core as Lyons almost becomes lost in his own music eyes closed; you feel you are capturing a private moment and a glimpse into his world. With a voice and lyrical content far more seasoned than expected, given what you see on first appearances it becomes apparent there is plenty of room for growth in the form of 'Pylons', which has undeniably strength.
Once on stage Marika Hackman begins with 'Bath Is Black', the first track from her mini-album That Iron Taste. Her voice exuding a purity, which can be heard tonight throughout her set with a hint of subtleness added to support the jovial nature of this song. Unlike shows before, Hackman is accompanied by two new band members, which she informs the audience is their first official time playing together. Her playful nature is highlighted as she points to her drummer and guitarist/ keyboardist nicknaming them, "tits" and "teeth", which gains laughter from the crowd. During her performance of 'Cannibal' it becomes apparent how the addition of a band can take a guitar soloist's project to another level, the drums adding a hunting vibe to the song with such lethal-ness it displays the dark undercurrent of the graphic lyrical content, which we have come to associate with Hackman's songs. Her voice masks the intimate space with echoes during 'Mountain Spines' mellow and quaint with a waning drum beat. It's the small details in the way the drummer hits the snare with different strokes, her guitarist's delicate picking and Marika's gentle strumming that matters here, creating a moment of tranquillity and peace. "I'm not a lady" she sings in 'I'll Borrow Time', an indication that she is self-aware of the girlish qualities she possesses, though it is what makes her endearing and mesmerising to watch.
For 'Retina Television', Marika Hackman plays alone. Sombre – each word is sung with such clarity and beautiful simplicity. Not a body moves and all eyes are on her transfixed to stage, the room is dead silent only the faint whirring of the fan in the background to be heard, it is a truly captivating moment and for me is the pinnacle of tonight's show. Joined back on stage with her band, 'Itchy Teeth' is next in line. Her voice lingers over the crowd creating an eerie feeling, as she oohs and ahs. 'Deep Green' – Hackman's latest single – is heavier than previous records. It has a fuller, fleshier sound, as the song is led by a fierce tribal beat, while 'Wolf', taken from her Sugar Blind EP, has the unusual supplement of synths; a trait not normally associated with her folk sounds, but provides confirmation she is obviously trying to push the experimental boundaries of her music and why not, when she is still yet to release a full length LP.
Bashful and besieged, Marika Hackman thanks the audience for attending, whilst bursting into 'Cinnamon' – a song with Nirvana-esque guitar twangs. Gigantic sounds, the song culminates in a blurred wall of reverberation adding a new level of intensity to the dimension of her music, to what has been a magnetising and enchanting show.

Strike it rich! Prospectors hoped they would in Arizona's deserts. Francisco Vásquez de Coronado of Spain searched southeastern Arizona for the Seven Cities of Gold. The Coronado National Memorial near Sierra Vista pays homage to his quest.
Ed Schieffelin, Tombstone's founder, was ridiculed by his friends. They said he'd find only his death, but soon he unearthed a rich silver vein. Schieffelin named the mine Tombstone. The town later adopted the name.
Hugh Jones was first to discover Bisbee's copper stores, but he left, disappointed it wasn't gold. Savvy prospectors anticipated copper's importance to electricity, and Bisbee grew into a bustling city. Through the Queen Mine Tour, visitors can explore the mine's depths, then learn about mining life at the Bisbee Mining & Historical Museum, a Smithsonian Institution affiliate.
Douglas had a helping hand in copper mining history. Phelps Dodge established a smelter in Douglas in 1900. At, mining executives stayed in comfort at the Gadsden Hotel. Complete with Tiffany-stained glass mural, an impressive stained glass dome and Italian marble stairs, legends say Pancho Villa rode his horse up the Gadsden Hotel's famed stairway.
