"Challenging the Gap and Moving towards a Genuine Exchange between Science and Human Studies: The Examples of Medical Humanities and Bibliotherapy". Torsten Pettersson, Professor of Literature, initiates a discussion/debate.
Present-day Western societies entertain a dual epistemic culture, that of the natural sciences, on the one hand, and that of the humanities and social sciences on the other. This divide is taken to correlate with the distinction between "explanation" and "understanding"; "description" and "interpretation"; quantitative and qualitative methods; and "hard" and "soft" evidence, for instance for medical practices. Attempts (encouraged by the Swedish Research Council) are continually being made to bridge the gap, for instance in Medical Humanities, but the perception and description of the gap itself are usually not challenged.
In this paper, however, Torsten Pettersson argues, firstly, that the pervasive epistemic duality reflects a need for disciplinary self-definition by contrast and exclusion as much as a fundamental difference based on the subject matter of various disciplines. This can be compared to the Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman's general and wide-reaching distinction between "friends" and "enemies". Pettersson further argues that a first requirement for a full development of Medical Humanities is counteracting the social patterns described by Bauman.
Secondly, all endeavours to close the epistemic gap must apply "translation" in a sense described by the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas, i.e. as an ongoing practice of negotiation between different world views in modern Western societies. As a fruitful testing-ground for such endeavours Pettersson points to bibliotherapy and its dual allegiance. On the one hand it has its roots in the heart of a humanistic culture, in imaginative literature and more generally in the effects of the human use of language. On the other hand it also lays claim to effects on health and well-being which should be measurable in "humanistic" terms (which to date is frequently the case) but also in scientifically reliable ways (which to date is only rarely the case).


Get accurate volume measurement for bulk materials — Loadscan's innovative measurement solution provides accuracy where it counts.
Load measurement and knowing your trucking factors are a crucial part of understanding site production rates. Inaccurate load measurement and load recording becomes a key factor that seriously affects the ability of management to understand and identify inefficiencies with trucking factors.
Loadscan's load volume measurement system has a proven track record and does not require constant re-calibration due to operating in a harsh environment. Through the use of laser scanning technology the Loadscan system features a non-contact drive-through measurement instrument where accuracy is not affected by wear and tear on sensors like traditional weight based measurement systems. Loadscan will produce accurate results every time and is quick and easy to set up so trucks can be scanned without delay.
The accuracy of the Loadscan system has been proven and validated by a process of measuring solid artefacts of known volume. Through this test method the Loadscan systems have a proven accuracy to the point of resolution which is 0.1m3.
Loadscan is the only truck volume measurement system that can boast trade certification, allowing operators total confidence in the truckload measurement data.
The Loadscan LVS systems are available in portable, semi-portable and fixed gantry models to best suit the customer's application. The range of measurable load materials and truck types has been extended. LVS devices are successfully operated on a full spectrum of truck and trailer designs including on-road truck and trailers, semi-trailers and centre-dumpers, as well as off-road articulated dumpers and quarry trucks.

Q: Need suggestion on optimization query of multiple million of records with multiple joins How can I optimize this query as EXT tables contain about 1.5 million records each. I have also other joins but they have relatively less than 50 records.
both EXT tables have set identity on with default setting and is P
SELECT *
FROM (
  SELECT
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY ID ASC) AS RowNumber
    , *
  FROM History
    LEFT JOIN FlattenExt1
      ON History.ID = FlattenExt1.ExtID
    LEFT JOIN FlattenExt2
      ON History.ID = FlattenExt2.ExtId
  ) as final
where final.RowNumber BETWEEN (@PageIndex -1) * @PageSize + 1
                          AND (((@PageIndex -1) * @PageSize + 1) + @PageSize) - 1
order by final.rownumber

A: from what is visible, i believe optimizer's problem here is the luck of knowing if the left joins do duplicate HISTORY.ID values, affecting ROW_NUMBER.
if the left join conditions both have join limits of 0-1 rows per history row, then do the ROW_NUMBER on history alone, get the ids, then join
DECLARE @page INT = 150 , @rows INT = 10
;WITH
data AS (SELECT ID  FROM History)
,rows (page, pages, rows) AS ( SELECT @page, CEILING(CAST(COUNT(*) AS float)/@page), COUNT(*) FROM data )
SELECT * FROM history INNER JOIN
    (SELECT TOP (@rows) rowNumber,page, pages, rows,ID
          FROM ( SELECT row_number() OVER (ORDER BY ID  ASC ) rowNumber, * FROM rows, data ) pagination
          WHERE rowNumber > (@page-1) * @rows
          order by rowNumber
    )historypageids ON history.ID = historypageids
LEFT JOIN FlattenExt1 ON History.ID = FlattenExt1.ExtID
LEFT JOIN FlattenExt2 ON History.ID = FlattenExt2.ExtId

A: THIS ANSWERS THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE QUESTION (generic SQL Server).
The following only works for SQL Server 2012+.
If you don't need the row_number() value, I would suggest:
 SELECT . . .
 FROM History h LEFT JOIN
      FlattenExt1 f1
      ON h.ID = f1.ExtID LEFT JOIN
      FlattenExt2 f2
      ON h.ID = f2.ExtId
 ORDER BY h.ID
 OFFSET (@PageIndex -1) * @PageSize + 1
 FETCH NEXT @PageSize ROWS;

This should be able to take advantage of an index on History(ID), FlattenExt1(ExtId), FlattenExt2(ExtId).

Ford's Facebook fans fuel food designs for Finnish rally Fiestas
The three Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team Fiesta RS WRCs of Mikko Hirvonen, Jari-Matti Latvala and Khalid Al Qassimi will sport a tasty new livery indeed on the upcoming Rally Finland...
Thousands of Ford rally fans have cast their votes to choose colourful food-themed roof designs for the Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team's three cars on Rally Finland later this month.
The team's Facebook followers picked three designs to adorn the Ford Fiesta RS World Rally Cars of Mikko Hirvonen, Jari-Matti Latvala and Khalid Al Qassimi during the eighth round of the 2011 FIA World Rally Championship.
Fans logging onto the team's Facebook page were asked to 'like' their favourite roof artwork from three specially-commissioned designs for each driver along the theme 'the food that fuels you'. The winning designs will replace the traditional Ford logo as a one-off livery for the classic Rally Finland - the home event of both Hirvonen and Latvala, winners there in 2009 and 2010 respectively.
"We had a tremendous response to what was a great opportunity for Ford's fans to influence the appearance of the team's rally cars for the first time," enthused Will May, Ford of Europe's motorsport marketing manager. "The winning designs are quirky, colourful and fun, and I'm sure they will prove popular with the huge number of fans that traditionally give our team such great support in Finland."
Each driver was asked to identify the first thing they eat or drink in the morning that provides the fuel to kick-start their day. Latvala nominated coffee, Hirvonen selected porridge and Al Qassimi chose mountain honey from Abu Dhabi.
Rally Finland, based in Jyv?skyl?, runs from 28-30 July, and the winning designs can be viewed on the Ford Abu Dhabi team's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/FordWRC

A new Location ... The Bellevue City Center!
And we are indoors so we have class when its rainy, snowy or sunny!! You'll never get bored with the same routine at a custom muscle bootcamp. We use different exercises every week, making sure you muscles and cardiovascular systems are being fully stimulated... you never know whats coming!!


This is my 6th year teaching at Rensselaer Central Elementary Schools and my second year teaching 2nd grade. I previously taught for several years at West Central. I enjoy spending time with my husband and four children.


Many people think about promoting their dwelling however first decide to renovate so that the home will sell for more money. This group understands that renovation is more than just building for optimum power efficiency and reducing the usage of potable water. As soon as established and correctly managed, Renovation can provide protein-rich food for livestock and wildlife while lowering fertilizer prices thanks to the legume's capacity to repair its personal free nitrogen.
Kitchen and toilet tasks are always the most well-liked," says Angie Hicks, founding father of Angie's Listing, a subscription web site and on-line market the place members evaluate and hire local contractors and businesses. They may even present estimates for interior designing and home renovations for the house. Most contractors will need to gain a portion of the total mission value previous to completion of the mission, which means that you will want to have cash available from the beginning.
We provide knowledgeable service which includes session, design, firm price citation, provide of supplies, set up, challenge administration and client satisfaction. What will you be renovating, the kitchen, toilet, exterior, or the entire house? We provide customized preliminary interior and exterior designs, elevations and website plans, together with information on constructing code opinions, potential land-use issues, price projections and undertaking budgets.
We hired Little Star Renovations to renovate our basement suite that was very outdated and needed plenty of work. A borrower will need to show they can service any improve in debt, so simply because they've $200,000 in equity, doesn't mean they will be allowed to borrow all of this to fund their renovations or improvement. Depending on the targets you could have established, it's possible you'll need to hire a contractor to supervise development work and an inside design skilled to oversee the design of your new places of work.
These costs can eat up a significant quantity of your budget – and that's before labour, design and local allow prices. We're not a construction firm or builder who also gives renovations. This can help guarantee minimal errors in the precise renovation process as expertise may even be liable for profiting from simply-in-time ideas with every part assembled on website.

An interview with:
GIOVANNI BONOTTO
I haven't seen his business card yet. I know many things about him, but not what's written on his business card, that limited space containing one's professional image. While some people find it hard to fill all the space of the small rectangle, others simply don't fit in the boundaries of a card or of a definition. And why even try? Definitions were created to simplify, but simplification is a limit and a vulgarization, fostering a superficial interpretation of things. Specificity implies complexity and interrelation, it requires space. Just think of the old workshop of a craftsman, which has now also become a marketplace, social space and photo set. However, even though it is now clear that a craftsman in the age of social networks "opens" a workshop to the world for commercial reasons, this does not automatically open up new horizons in terms of cultural enrichment.
Photographer Andrea Benedetti
Writer Giulia Pivetta
Special Thanks Luisa Bertoldo
The challenge is for craft to meet art, for example, finding oneself on the "bridge" that allows a concept to extend itself. This has happened in the past, from Weimar to Gio Ponti, but it still emphasizes how the craftsman can – and must – also be an artist, someone who can combine abstraction and daily life. Giovanni Bonotto's fabrics live, worn on the bodies of men and women around the world, yet they speak the same language as the avant-gardes of the past century who are honored in museums and galleries. The language of Fluxus, of John Cage's silences and Yoko Ono's performances.
Definitions were created to simplify, but simplification is a limit and a vulgarization, fostering a superficial interpretation of things.
○ What's on your business card? While I was preparing this interview, my first hurdle was that I didn't know how to address you. Would I be meeting an artist or a craftsman?
In 2015, Bonotto S.p.a. was among the artists selected for the Venice pavilion of the 56th Venice Biennale. We created an installation, in which I assembled fabrics from nomadic cultures all over the world, imagining myself as a nomad as well. To do that, I spent years trying to discover and learn the secrets of textile manufacturing in tribes from the most remote provinces of Japan, where the masters taught me their techniques, to the Argentinian Pampa, where I met the gauchos. I always try to delve into nature, to keep these traditions from disappearing over the years. For example, there is a very important tradition among the Berbers, where the parents offer a traditional blanket to their children as a rite of their passage to adulthood. Consider that, for a nomad, the blanket is the first home. In order to be accepted by this Moroccan people, I spent one day and one night inside my car. In the end, they were moved by compassion and let me into one of their tents, where I was able to see the yarn being spun for one of these special blankets, which can take up to 5 years to weave. Back to your question: am I a craftsman? Am I an artist? I don't know how to answer.
○ Your hybrid position can be a strength, but at the same time it can cause insecurity, make you feel different. Has this lack of classification ever been a problem for you?
My father Luigi has always been considered an eccentric figure among the industrialists in Vicenza, as he was more interested in art than in business. One year, for Christmas, he asked me to go to the train station to pick up a dear friend of his, Gustav Metzger, and bring him to the annual dinner of the Federation of Italian Employers. I didn't know him, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Then I was pretty disappointed when I saw a man with a long unkempt beard, no coat, no shoes, just a sweater and a shirt, with slippers on his feet – on a cold winter day – coming towards me holding two plastic bags full of stuff – his luggage. I could not understand why I had to bring a hobo
to the Christmas dinner, even more so as this was in the 1980s, the age of yuppies and consumerism. We reached the dinner, but left soon: when my father welcomed Gustav with a hug, people looked disgusted. That's when I understood a lot of things about him, and about the importance of our uniqueness. Of being atypical.
○ Going back in time to the 1970s, when you were a child, what was it like to have so many artists around in your house, as extreme and radical as avant-garde artists of the time could be?
The artists who visited our home were a bother, because when they were there I became invisible. My soccer field was ruined when someone turned it into a vegetable garden. John Cage practiced his music and played the gong at 3 a.m., but I thought he was crazy and annoying because I had to wake up early for school the next day. I also didn't like to spend my afternoons with that Japanese lady who gave me tofu instead of my usual snacks. I didn't care if she was Yoko Ono, I just wanted to be like all the other kids, nothing more and nothing less. What is more, these crazy people didn't even make me more popular with girls, because at that time in Molvena this was not seen as something as cool as it would be today.
Over the years, art destructured my family's business administration, and this is one of the reasons why our company is one of only two in our industry that were able to survive the crisis.
○ The years of economic crisis must have been very hard, both on the personal and professional front. Yet they also were a turning point for you. How did you experience this?
Over the years, art destructured my family's business administration, and this is one of the reasons why our company is one of only two in our industry that were able to survive the crisis. The Veneto region was rich in satellite activities, including spinning mills, yarn factories and finishing plants, but they all disappeared. Even the Conte wool mill, the first to be founded in Italy over 280 years ago; the Ferritin wool mill, founded by the first man to fly from Rome to Tokyo, had the same fate. This was due to the rush to automation: we did not realize how technology enslaves us. It reduces the costs, but also eliminates details and nuances. After thirty years of skimming off and smoothing things over, our craft was hollowed out. After that, the Asians came: they bought machines that were newer and better than ours, they were willing to work more and for less money, and that was the final blow. That's why you will see looms from 1956 in the factory, not the newest. We survived by looking at this world in a different way, through the eyes of imagination. I think was also a matter of chance, an alignment of the planets, and something happened that could not be planned.
○ Who is your hero?
I have two idols. One is Leonardo Da Vinci, someone who became an artist because he wanted to paint what couldn't be painted. And he did it by combining art and science; this is where his technical-scientific greatness lies: knowing how to paint air. You can see it in the Virgin of the Rocks, where the Virgin Mary holds down a page of the Bible she is reading, lifted by the beating of the archangel's wing. My other idol is Dante who, in the third verse of the third canto of the third cantica, says "Trying and trying again": this is the key of Italian Renaissance. Inside the factory, we try to paint what cannot be painted by trying and trying again, and that's why we create fabrics that are not shapeless but maieutic materials that have their own soul and life.
○ They say that art always has a message. What is the message of the fabrics woven on the 1956 looms?
Marcel Duchamp taught my father that life itself is a masterpiece – to live one's life is a masterpiece. Whenever they got together, they would play chess without talking. Just by playing, they exchanged a lot of information. For the Fluxus group, the game of chess is a key matrix, as it is seen as action, a happening. Bonotto S.p.a. is the masterpiece, a performance that is documented in our library, which hosts one of the world's richest collections of texts on art. This is something that my dad never talks about, because it is part of his vision. My brother and I are just his slaves, entrusted to light the fire each morning. ●

Title: Estimating additive and dominance variances for complex traits in pigs combining genomic and pedigree information.
Publisher: Genetics and Molecular Research, v. 14, n. 2, p. 6303-6311, June 2015.
Description: Knowledge of dominance effects should improve genetic evaluations, provide the accurate selection of purebred animals, and enable better breeding strategies, including the exploitation of heterosis in crossbreeds. In this study, we combined genomic and pedigree data to study the relative importance of additive and dominance genetic variation in growth and carcass traits in an F2 pig population. Two GBLUP models were used, a model without a polygenic effect (ADM) and a model with a polygenic effect (ADMP). Additive effects played a greater role in the control of growth and carcass traits than did dominance effects. However, dominance effects were important for all traits, particularly in backfat thickness. The narrow-sense and broad-sense heritability estimates for growth (0.06 to 0.42, and 0.10 to 0.51, respectively) and carcass traits (0.07 to 0.37, and 0.10 to 0.76, respectively) exhibited a wide variation. The inclusion of a polygenic effect in the ADMP model changed the broad-sense heritability estimates only for birth weight and weight at 21 days of age.

L'art byzantin s'est développé dans l'Empire byzantin entre la disparition de l'Empire romain d'Occident en 476, et la chute de Constantinople en 1453. L'art produit auparavant dans la même région relève de ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler l'art paléochrétien.

Le terme peut également être utilisé pour désigner l'art des États de confession orthodoxe contemporains à l'Empire byzantin, dont la culture a subi son influence, sans en faire partie réellement (certains historiens parlent du Commonwealth byzantin), comme le premier empire bulgare, le premier État serbe ou la Rus' de Kiev. Mais aussi, pour partie, l'art de la République de Venise et du Royaume de Sicile, qui avaient des liens étroits avec l'Empire byzantin.

L'art produit par les chrétiens orthodoxes d'Orient vivant dans l'Empire ottoman est souvent appelé « post-byzantin ».

Certaines traditions artistiques qui ont leur origine dans l'Empire byzantin, en particulier en ce qui concerne l'iconographie et l'architecture des églises, se sont maintenues en Grèce, Bulgarie et Russie et dans d'autres pays orthodoxes d'Orient à l'époque actuelle.

Origines
Tout comme l'Empire byzantin est le prolongement politique de l'Empire romain, l'art byzantin se développe à partir de l'art romain, lui-même profondément influencé par l'art grec antique. L'art byzantin a toujours conservé en mémoire cet héritage classique.

La capitale, Constantinople, est ornée d'un grand nombre de sculptures classiques, qui ont pu devenir un objet d'étonnement pour certains de ses habitants. En fait, l'art produit au cours de l'empire byzantin, bien que marqué par des retours périodiques à une esthétique classique, est surtout marqué par le développement d'une nouvelle esthétique.

La caractéristique la plus marquante de cette nouvelle esthétique est qu'elle est abstraite, non naturaliste.
Si l'art classique est marqué par la tentative de créer des représentations de la réalité les plus fidèles possibles, l'art byzantin semble avoir renoncé à cette tentative en faveur d'une approche plus symbolique. La nature et les causes de cette transformation, qui a eu lieu essentiellement au cours de l'antiquité tardive, sont un sujet de débat pour les savants depuis des siècles.
Giorgio Vasari l'attribue à une baisse du niveau et des compétences artistiques.
Bien que ce point de vue soit occasionnellement réaffirmé, notamment par Bernard Berenson, les chercheurs modernes ont tendance à avoir une vision plus positive de l'esthétique byzantine. Aloïs Riegl et Josef Strzygowski, écrivains du début du , ont joué un rôle important dans cette réévaluation de l'art de l'antiquité tardive. Riegl la voit comme une évolution naturelle des tendances préexistantes dans l'art roman, tandis que Strzygowski la considère comme le résultat des  influences « orientales ». Parmi les récentes contributions au débat, il y a également celles de Ernst Kitzinger.

En tout état de cause, le débat est purement moderne : la plupart des témoins byzantins ne considèrent pas leur art comme abstrait ou non naturaliste. Comme Cyril Mango l'a fait remarquer, « notre propre appréciation de l'art byzantin provient en grande partie du fait que cette technique n'est pas naturelle, mais les Byzantins eux-mêmes, à en juger par leurs déclarations, la considéraient comme étant très naturaliste et comme étant directement dans la tradition de Phidias, Apelle et Zeuxis ».

Les thèmes principaux de l'art byzantin sont essentiellement le religieux et l'impérial : ils sont souvent associés, comme dans les portraits des empereurs byzantins qui décorent l'intérieur de l'église Sainte-Sophie. Ces thèmes dominants sont le résultat, en partie, de la piété et de la nature autocratique de la société byzantine et, en partie, du fait de sa structure économique : les richesses de l'Empire étant concentrées entre les mains de l'Église et de l'Empereur, ils avaient donc les moyens de mettre à exécution des commandes artistiques monumentales.

L'art religieux n'est cependant pas limité à la décoration monumentale des intérieurs d'églises. L'un des principaux genres de l'art byzantin est l'icône, une image du Christ, de la Vierge, ou d'un saint, objets de vénération dans les églises orthodoxes et les maisons privées. Les icônes sont de nature religieuse, en particulier après la fin de l'iconoclasme, elles sont assimilées à la manifestation de la «présence» unique du personnage représenté par le biais d'une «ressemblance» soigneusement entretenue par les canons de la représentation. L'art religieux byzantin est pénétré des lois du hiératisme (compositions qui obéissent à une stricte frontalité, avec une certaine rigidité des figures).

L'enluminure des manuscrits est une autre facette de l'art byzantin. Le plus souvent les textes illustrés sont religieux, soit les Saintes Écritures elles-mêmes (en particulier les Psaumes), soit des textes théologiques ou de dévotion (comme les homélies de Grégoire de Nazianze). Les textes laïcs sont également enluminés comme le Roman d'Alexandre ou le Synopsis historiarum de Jean Skylitzès.

Les arts « mineurs » ou de « luxe » (c'est-à-dire des ivoires, stéatite, émaux, bijoux, orfèvrerie, céramique, etc) sont produits en grand nombre dans l'ensemble de la période byzantine. Beaucoup d'entre eux étaient également de nature religieuse, mais un grand nombre d'objets sont réalisés avec des décors laïcs ou non-figuratifs : par exemple, des ivoires, représentant des thèmes de la mythologie classique, et la céramique décorée avec des figures qui proviennent de l'épopée de Digénis Akritas.

Périodes

Premier art byzantin

Le premier art byzantin est produit entre le  (règne de Constantin I) et le  (début de l'iconoclasme). Il connaît son apogée sous le règne de Justinien I (527-565), alors qu'a lieu une reconquête temporaire de l'Italie, et se caractérise par un mélange de tradition romaine, de tradition orientale et de christianisme. L'urbanisme de Constantinople et les monuments de Ravenne illustrent l'importante architecture richement décorée de mosaïques, tandis que la production  des ivoires (par exemple l'ivoire Barberini), d'orfèvrerie et de peinture sur bois (art des Icônes). La sculpture, quant à elle, vit ses dernières heures de gloire, dans la lignée de la sculpture antique.

Deux événements sont d'une importance fondamentale dans le développement du premier art byzantin.
D'abord, l'Édit de Milan, publié par les empereurs Constantin I et Licinius en 313 et autorisant le culte chrétien, conduit à l'élaboration de l'art chrétien monumental.
Ensuite, la consécration de Constantinople comme « nouvelle Rome », en 330, crée un nouveau centre artistique pour la moitié orientale de l'Empire et, qui plus est, spécifiquement chrétien.
D'autres traditions artistiques ont prospéré dans des villes rivales comme Alexandrie, Antioche ou Rome, mais n'ont pas survécu à la chute de ces villes - due aux Arabes pour les deux premières et aux Goths pour Rome – ce qui a permis à Constantinople d'établir sa suprématie.

Constantin a consacré beaucoup d'efforts à la décoration de Constantinople, ornant les espaces publics avec des statues antiques et construisant un forum dominé par une colonne de porphyre portant sa statue. Les églises majeures de Constantinople construites sous Constantin et son fils, Constance II comprennent les premières fondations de Sainte-Sophie et de l'église des Saints-Apôtres de Constantinople.

La grande campagne de construction suivante est initiée par Théodose . Le monument survivant le plus important de cette période est l'obélisque et sa base érigés par Théodose dans l'Hippodrome.
L'église la plus ancienne de Constantinople est l'église Saint-Jean Baptiste du Monastère du Stoudion, construite au .
En raison des destructions et reconstructions successives, relativement peu de monuments de Constantinople du premier art byzantin ont survécu. Cependant, son développement peut toujours être retracé à travers les structures survivantes dans d'autres villes. Par exemple, d'importantes églises anciennes se trouvent à Rome (comme l'église Sainte-Sabine et la basilique Sainte-Marie-Majeure) et à Thessalonique (l'Arc de Galère et l'église de l'Acheiropoiètos).

Un nombre important de manuscrits enluminés, à la fois sacrés et séculiers, nous sont parvenus de cette période du premier art. Des auteurs classiques, comme Homère (l'Iliade ambrosienne) ou Dioscoride (Dioscoride de Vienne), ont été illustrés avec des peintures narratives. D'autres manuscrits bibliques enluminés de cette période, ne survivent que par des fragments : par exemple, le Codex Sinopensis, qui contient un fragment de l'évangile de Matthieu, ou la Genèse de Vienne.

Le premier art byzantin est également marqué par le travail de l'ivoire. Des Diptyques en ivoire, souvent richement décorés, sont offerts en cadeau par des consuls  nouvellement nommés. La vaisselle d'argent est une autre forme importante d'art de luxe : parmi les plus luxueux de cette époque se trouve le Missorium de Théodose. Les sarcophages continuent à être produits en grand nombre.

Époque justinienne
Des modifications importantes dans l'art byzantin coïncident avec le règne de Justinien (527-565). Il a également permis la fondation de l'absolutisme impérial et de l'État Byzantin, en codifiant ses lois et en imposant par la loi ses opinions religieuses à tous ses sujets.

Une composante majeure du projet impérial de Justinien était un programme massif de constructions, projet décrit par l'historien de la cour de Justinien, Procope de Césarée, dans son ouvrage Sur les monuments. Justinien a reconstruit, rénové ou fondé d'innombrables églises au sein de Constantinople, parmi lesquelles Sainte-Sophie (Hagia Sophia), qui fut détruite pendant la sédition Nika, l'Église des Saints-Apôtres, et la Petite Sainte-Sophie. Justinien a également construit quelques églises et fortifications en dehors de la capitale impériale, parmi lesquelles le monastère Sainte-Catherine du Sinaï, et la basilique Saint-Jean d'Éphèse.

Quelques églises majeures de cette époque ont été construites dans les provinces par des évêques locaux sur le modèle des nouvelles fondations de Constantinople. La Basilique Saint-Vital de Ravenne a été construite par l'évêque Maximien de Ravenne. La décoration de Saint-Vital comporte d'importantes mosaïques de Justinien et de l'impératrice, Théodora, bien qu'aucun d'eux n'ait jamais visité la basilique.

Les découvertes archéologiques des  ont déterré de nombreuses mosaïques prébyzantines dans le Moyen-Orient. Les provinces de l'Empire romain de l'Est et du futur Empire byzantin ont hérité une grande tradition artistique provenant de l'Antiquité. Les mosaïques d'art catholiques ont prospéré dans cette zone à partir du . La tradition de la mosaïque provient de l'ère omeyyade jusqu'à la fin du . Les exemples les plus importants nous étant parvenus sont la carte de Madaba, les mosaïques du Mont Nebo, le monastère sainte-Catherine du mont Sinaï et l'église de Saint-Stéphane dans l'ancien Kastron Mefaa (aujourd'hui Umm ar-Rasas).

Les premiers manuscrits bibliques enluminés entièrement préservés datent de la première moitié du , tout particulièrement la Genèse de Vienne, l'évangiliaire de Rossano, et le Codex Sinopensis. Le Dioscoride de Vienne est un traité de botanique somptueusement illustré, offert à l'aristocrate byzantine Anicia Juliana.

Cette époque est également celle des sculptures en ivoire, dont celle de Barberini, qui dépeint probablement Justinien lui-même, et l'ivoire dit de l'Archange, aujourd'hui au British Museum. Des assiettes en argent ont été décorées avec des scènes tirées de la mythologie classique ; par exemple, une assiette conservée au Cabinet des médailles à Paris représente Héraclès combattant le lion de Némée.

Crise du

L'époque de Justinien fut suivie d'un déclin politique: la plupart de ses conquêtes furent perdues et l'Empire fit face à une crise aiguë notamment de par les invasions des Avars, Slaves, Persans et Arabes au . Constantinople fut également ruinée par un conflit religieux et politique.

Les projets monumentaux les plus significatifs de cette époque ayant survécu ont été entrepris en dehors de la capitale impériale. L'église de Hagios Demetrios à Thessalonique a été reconstruite après avoir subi un incendie mi-. Les nouvelles parties comportent des mosaïques réalisées dans un style remarquablement abstrait. L'église de Koimesis à Nicée (aujourd'hui Iznik), détruite au début du  mais continuant de vivre grâce à des photographies, démontre l'existence simultanée d'un style plus classique en matière de décoration d'églises.

Iconoclasme (728-843)

La crise iconoclaste a lieu entre les règnes de Léon III (717-741) et Théophile (829-842). La destruction, parfois violente, des images représentant la divinité intervient en réaction face au développement incroyable et incontrôlable du culte des icônes, qui frise l'animisme. Période souvent décrite comme particulièrement pauvre en production artistique, notamment en architecture, l'iconoclasme a toutefois vu un développement des arts somptuaires (tissus, orfèvrerie, etc.).

Renaissance macédonienne (867-1056)

Sous les Macédoniens a lieu une véritable renaissance artistique, qui cherche ses références dans l'art de la Grèce antique. L'architecture religieuse se développe, avec l'invention du plan en croix grecque inscrite et le développement du monachisme. Les arts somptuaires prennent un essor considérable, visible à travers notamment une production éphémère de pièces en ivoire.

Maniérisme comnène (1058-1185)

Sous la dynastie Comnène a lieu une seconde renaissance artistique, dans la lignée de celle des Macédoniens. L'architecture se développe, tendant à libérer l'espace intérieur et à en augmenter les dimensions, tandis que sentiments et expressions sont exacerbés dans les peintures, les mosaïques et l'orfèvrerie.

Intermède latin (1204-1261)

La prise de Constantinople par les Croisés en 1204 mène au sac de la ville et à la mise en place d'une éphémère lignée occidentale. L'art est complètement paralysé dans la capitale, où les destructions et les pillages se multiplient, mais quelques objets sont produits, notamment dans les parties reculées de l'empire (Grèce)... Des influences occidentales se remarquent, comme des blasons ou des représentations de saints chevaliers dans les icônes, et c'est à partir de cette période qu'arrivent en Europe occidentale des éléments byzantins, qui influeront par exemple sur la pré-Renaissance italienne particulièrement dans ce qu'on nomme la peinture byzantine.

Dynastie Paléologue (1261-1453)

La dynastie Paléologue, qui reprend le pouvoir après avoir chassé les Croisés, donne lieu à une troisième renaissance artistique. Cependant, le recul territorial de l'empire byzantin et les problèmes politiques empêchent l'art de s'épanouir autant que sous les Macédoniens et les Comnène. La prise de Constantinople par le sultan Ottoman Mehmet II met fin à l'empire byzantin, mais ses influences artistiques se retrouvent dans l'art ottoman et en Russie.

Héritage

L'empire byzantin à proprement parler prit fin avec la chute de Constantinople, conquise par  l'Empire ottoman en 1453 ; mais à cette époque, l'héritage culturel byzantin s'était déjà exporté, notamment par la diffusion du christianisme orthodoxe, vers la Bulgarie, la Serbie, la Roumanie et, de façon plus importante, vers la Russie, qui devint le centre du monde orthodoxe après la conquête des Balkans par les Ottomans. Même sous l'autorité ottomane, les traditions byzantines, en particulier en matière iconographique, survécurent à moindre échelle. En Crète, alors sous l'égide de Venise, un style « post-byzantin » s'imposa pour un peu plus de deux siècles, sous l'influence de plus en plus importante de l'Ouest. El Greco, dans sa jeunesse, a été formé dans la tradition byzantine.

L'influence de l'art byzantin fut sensible en Europe occidentale dès le règne de Charlemagne, qui entretenait des relations étroites avec Byzance. Elle s'est ensuite manifestée, notamment en Italie, dans l'architecture religieuse, lors du développement du style roman aux . La contribution des intellectuels byzantins émigrés lors de la chute de Constantinople fut également très importante à la Renaissance.

Q: Simple 3D barplot of a 2D histogram after PCA I already read some the question that I could find here or elsewhere. I wrote the code using other questions available on stackoverflow but still it doesn't work sometimes. There are three types of problems that might occur. I write the code here first and then will list the problems:
from matplotlib.mlab import PCA
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

fig=plt.figure()
ax=plt.subplot(111,projection='3d')
sample=np.asarray(sample)
result=PCA(sample)
hist, xedges, yedges =np.histogram2d(result.Y[:,0],result.Y[:,1])
x_data, y_data = np.meshgrid( np.arange(hist.shape[1]),np.arange(hist.shape[0]) )
x_data = x_data.flatten()
y_data = y_data.flatten()
z_data = hist.flatten()
ax.bar3d( x_data,y_data,np.zeros(len(z_data)),1, 1, z_data )
fig.tight_layout()
fig.savefig('3Dhist.eps')
plt.show()

1- First problem is the following error:
LinAlgError: SVD did not converge
     97
     98 def _raise_linalgerror_svd_nonconvergence(err, flag):
---> 99     raise LinAlgError("SVD did not converge")
    100
    101 def get_linalg_error_extobj(callback):

LinAlgError: SVD did not converge

And it rises when all of my vectors share one equal coordinate, i.e. they already lie on the same plane. Obviously a PCA is still possible with a unique answer but it gives the above error. To test it you can set sample to:
sample=[[ 0.,  0.2, 0. ],
 [ 0.4, 0.2, 0. ],
 [ 0.4, 0.4, 0. ],
 [ 0.,  0.2, 0. ],
 [ 0.6, 0.2, 0. ]]

2-(Semi-Solved: See the answers section.) The second problem is the following warning:
/Users/****/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/mplot3d/axes3d.py:1673: RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in divide
  for n in normals])
/Users/****/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/colors.py:394: RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in greater
  if (c.ravel() > 1).any() or (c.ravel() < 0).any():
/Users/****/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/colors.py:394: RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in less
  if (c.ravel() > 1).any() or (c.ravel() < 0).any():

I don't know the reason of this warning but this rises usually on large samples that I generate from my distribution.
3-3rd problem is that I cannot save it in any other format than .png or otherwise it doesn't work. To clarify the array I am using is a numpy.float64.

A: I already find the answer for the second issue for the people who are interested. It seems that 3D plotting in matplotlib has serious issues. You can check here:

As the unity of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts provide the most valuable means of insight into the real direction of our own collective purposes.
In group lesson number six I think we learned how to turn backwards and then just kind of wiggle. That wasn't really skating backward, but I guess I was going in the right direction.
I think it was probably down to the fact that we weren't together personally as a band. We weren't pulling in the same direction. I always feel if you're having a good time in the studio it actually comes across on the tape and that was a bit of a miserable album for us.

It takes little talent to see what lies under one's nose, a good deal to know in what direction to point that organ.
I mean, George Bush is a man of prayer. He talks to the lord. He tries to get his direction from the lord.
Children in a family are like flowers in a bouquet: there's always one determined to face in an opposite direction from the way the arranger desires.

Give immediate instruction to all your posts in said territory, under your direction, at no time and on no pretence to hoist, or suffer be hoisted, the English flag.
If you cry 'forward', you must without fail make plain in what direction to go.
There are a lot of times that if a detail in a scene or a beat, feels unnatural, they'll allow me to explore another direction to go until we're all comfortable with what we are doing.
George Eads
It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.
Things went in a direction that I didn't want to go. I started doing bit parts and things that are pretty much laid out for people in my position. The parts were pretty generic.
There is no great sport in having bullets flying about one in every direction, but I find they have less horror when among them than when in anticipation.
Stupidity, outrage, vanity, cruelty, iniquity, bad faith, falsehood - we fail to see the whole array when it is facing in the same direction as we.
I've learned that I get blocked when my subconscious mind is telling me that I've taken the work in a wrong direction, and that once I start listening to what my subconscious is trying to tell me, I can work out the problem and get moving again.
Darwin's idea of natural selection makes people uncomfortable because it reverses the direction of tradition.
The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.
The idea is to try to give all the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another.
Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us - and those around us - more effectively. Look for the learning.
I'm always interested in mixing technology and music. You know, maybe I'll have a MIDI bass pickup at some point, I don't really think that's the direction I would want to go.
Stylized acting and direction is to realistic acting and direction as poetry is to prose.
If you have an impulse, not if you're going to ruin someone elses' scene, if you have an impulse of a funny little add-on or taking something in a weird direction, try it.
Man, as we know him, is a poor creature; he is halfway between an ape and a god and he is travelling in the right direction.

The Gunmetal with Cadet Sparkle is a good running skirt. They fit true to size, and have room for stretch. For petites, they will be a little long and I'd size down. The silver threading isn't as soft and comfortable as the other fabrics. Those who are sensitive to fabrics may notice it.

Hi everyone, today I have a very festive manicure to share with all of you. For anyone who does not know already, I live in Toronto, Ontario Canada and we endured a massive ice storm that knocked out electricity and water across the entire city for about 3 days. My husband & I was contemplating making alternative plans for the holidays but thankfully all is well and this was the manicure I painted before the chaos.
Zoya 'Ivanka' – for the green base (this is two coats).
China Glaze 'Party Hearty' – for the micro gold, green & red glitter particles and….
Milani 'Red' Glitter – for the chunky red glitter particles.
I'm not a very creative nail art person which is why I always gush over other nail blogger's creativity, but I do like this manicure, I honestly was playing around but this is one I would wear again or with different colour combinations in the future.
Happy Holidays, thank you all for sticking with me throughout 2013 and I hope 2014 will be even better!!! I'll try to blog more in the coming year =) Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
Super combination i love this!!!!!

Interview with Avery Hardy
Quail Springs February 10, 2017 Community Leave a Comment
(Photo: Avery Hardy at the UC to Paris Climate Change Conference, Nov. 2015)
In 2012 Avery Hardy attended Sustainable Vocations, an interdisciplinary program for youth developed and taught at Quail Springs which focuses on applying permaculture ethics and principles as they relate to ecological and social justice, community, and place-based culture. Click here for more information about Sustainable Vocations.
Quail Springs: When and how did you first hear about Quail Springs?
Avery Hardy: I first learned of Quail Springs through the vibrant permaculture community in Santa Barbara, which I found myself connected to as a young high schooler in town. Quail Springs had a reputation for doing experimental, results-oriented permaculture on a scale that far surpassed other farms or sustainability projects in the area.
QS: What was your first experience of coming out to the land and what did it mean to you?
AH: As a highschooler, I participated in the Sustainable Vocations summer permaculture design course, which gave me my first opportunity to visit and learn from the community at Quail Springs. I fell deeply and madly in love with the land on my first visit—I can still vividly remember walking up toward the old barn, Chloe's ukulele music guiding us toward the heart of the commons. That summer was formative for me on many counts—socially, career-wise and academically, and spiritually. I connected to a group of peers, young mentors, and elders who shared my vibrant passion for land stewardship and permaculture; I felt my own earth-based spirituality bloom through long walks on the land and deep connection with community; and most formatively, I found resonant clarity about my life path and career vision. This first experience on the land was not only enriching but truly soul-shaking. Even for a young student of sustainability like me who had already "found her footing" in the broader permaculture community, my time on the land was deeply transformative.
QS: Do you feel that your experience or experiences at Quail Springs have been formative? How?
AH: My time at Quail Springs has been deeply formative on many counts; most powerfully it has deeply grounded me in my career path and research interests. As a young high school student I was sure I would pursue a climate change and ecology-oriented career path, but I found myself distressed at the absence in academia of many critical components: a foundational awareness of the sacred and inherent value of the natural world, a lack of focus on the preservation of and connection with our indigenous communities, and a distressing focus on technological "silver bullet" solutions to the climate crisis rather than on low-tech D.I.Y. solutions our grandparents may have used. I wanted to find viable low-tech interventions for sustainability that could meaningfully mitigate our disruption of Earth's systems and the severity of climate change while also enriching our collective quality of life. At Quail Springs, I saw in practice the truth that there is no zero-sum game between living well and living simply. I saw that a critical analysis of our footprint on the land could yield multitudinous opportunities for working with, rather than against, nature, thus improving outcomes for all. I saw that while "nature bats last" in most communities, it was in fact possible to approach living together in a way that truly benefitted the natural world—with spirals of impact and inspiration that spread out long beyond Cuyama. The lived experiences and skillful mentoring of the Quail Springs community set me toward a path to pursue credible academic research in the realms of traditional ecological knowledge, evidence-based permaculture, and thoughtful land management in the age of climate change, which I have pursued as a student and young researcher at UC Berkeley. As I look toward pursuing a Ph.D in these fields, I envision weaving together the conversations in policy and academia around climate change mitigation with the lived wisdom from permaculture, indigenous land management, and wise tending of the wild. This research focus is wholly rooted in my six years of experience visiting Quail Springs, where I have turned often for both internal and scholarly inspiration, guidance, and recalibration. Unfortunately, the Ivory Tower has been behind the curve when it comes to valuing of working with, rather than against, the natural world; I have often found myself the sole person in the room advocating earth-based interventions for climate change mitigation, as the zeitgeist of the moment is very much focused on half-developed technological quick-fix technologies that carry extreme risks for our communities and our planets. I owe my deep commitment to ecological design to the lived reinforcement of permaculture practices and values that Quail Springs has offered to me and so many others.
QS: What do you feel is different in your life today because of your experience here?
AH: On a personal level, I treasure the time I get to spend at Quail Springs for the slowness, wisdom, and intentionality that the community brings into my life. The small pockets of time that I am able to spend on the land have acted as a powerful salve for my soul during times of much chaos and hopelessness for many of my generation. As a member of the Berkeley Student Cooperative, most recently as the landscape coordinator at Lothlorien Co-op (my 70-person vegan co-op in the Berkeley Student Co-op system), I have taken much of what I've learned—in particular, the permaculture design skills and the wisdom about fostering successful intentional communities—from Quail Springs and interwoven it into my community here to help move us toward deeper resilience.
Avery is currently a student in the College of Natural Resources at UC Berkeley, where she'll be graduating in May. She's also the landscape coordinator at Lothlorien Co-op.

I have recently noticed that some people are scraping the HTML of this website to retrieve a list of Minecraft items in their application, and I've also had a few emails asking if I offer the list in a machine-readable format. I have in fact been offering the list in JSON format to a small number of people for a few years and now I have now decided to document the APIs publicly.
The columns of the TSV file are: numeric id, metadata, name, text id.
Individual PNGs are not hosted directly to discourage hotlinking - unfortunately, the site already consumes a large amount of bandwidth already, and if I allowed hotlinking of images it would probably increase the hosting costs significantly.
Whilst there is a single 'sprite' PNG containing all the items on the site, this is not considered part of the API. The order of the items within it and its URL may change at any time!
The columns of the TSV file are: numeric id, name, text id.
The size of entities.zip is currently much smaller than items.zip so I'm not as concerned about its bandwidth usage.


These symptoms can last 12-72 hours.
Why do people do this to themselves? More than likely they are having too much fun and do not realize that they are drinking too fast or too much at one time.

Just to name a few. Of course, the best hangover remedy is to not consume alcohol at all. But, we all like to have a little fun once in a while.


Industry analysts are forecasting that new car sales will be flat in 2018. New car launches still need to be promoted with awareness campaigns, and marketers need to weigh their decisions in a landscape deep with data. Sales targets and site traffic goals still need to be met while building brand equity. How should marketers respond?

Q: WPF Scrollviewer inside usercontrol doesn't show vertical scrollbar I am using PRISM architecture.
I have a structure like below
<Window Height="300" Width="300">
  <Grid>
    <ItemsControl>

      <UserControl>
        <ScrollViewer>
          <StackPanel>
          </StackPanel>
        </ScrollViewer>
       </UserControl>

     </ItemsControl>
  </Grid>
</Window>

Horizontal scrollbar shows up but the vertical doesn't.
Please note that changing stackpanel to grid like below doesn't help.
          <UserControl>
            <ScrollViewer>
              <Grid>
                <StackPanel>
                </StackPanel>
              </Grid>
            </ScrollViewer>
          </UserControl>

A: Place ScrollViewer inside a Grid. This helps the ScrollViewer to use the available space within Grid and if content overflows, it will show scrollbars. It depends on where you use your UserControl though. Make sure this UserControl is not placed inside a ScrollViewer or any scrollable control.
      <UserControl>
        <Grid>
          <ScrollViewer HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
            <StackPanel>
            </StackPanel>
          </ScrollViewer>
        </Grid>
      </UserControl>

A: StackPanel grows on indefinitely (i.e. height is not restricted until you fix it be setting explicitly).
Either use another panel say Grid, DockPanel etc. or constrain fix height for your StackPanel.
<ScrollViewer>
    <DockPanel>
    </DockPanel>
</ScrollViewer>

OR
<ScrollViewer>
    <StackPanel Height="300">
    </StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>

You can also constrain height like this:
<StackPanel Height="{Binding ActualHeight,
      RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor,AncestorType=Window}}"/>

Letter of contention: Media in Australia obtains document suggesting no promises to proceed with subs deal were made to France
FILE PHOTO of submarine in Sydney Harbour. © Peter Parks / AFP
A letter previously referenced by the two countries' officials that France claimed indicated Australia would authorize the submarine contract contained no such references, media says, on making the document public.
The diplomatic row between Canberra and Paris continues, with a letter sent to France's Naval Group on the matter of the now-infamous submarine deal being published by news outlets in Australia on Saturday.
The document, released to The Weekend Australian and the local edition of The Guardian by the country's Department of Defence under freedom of information laws, contains no mention of the Australian government's plans to go ahead with the contract.
"The matters addressed in this correspondence do not provide any authorization to continue work, or for the reimbursement of that work," the director general of the Future Submarine Program, Royal Australian Navy Commodore Craig Bourke wrote in it, as quoted by The Guardian. The letter, dated and sent on September 15, ahead of communication between Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and French President Emmanuel Macron, acknowledged only the French contractor's achievements in the initial stages.
France's Naval Group vows to BILL Australia after 'unprecedented brutality' of cancelled $40bn submarine deal
"The document makes no reference to any decision to authorize the next phase, and does not even mention it," according to the media outlets.
The letter "appears to be carefully worded, with a focus on contractual matters," according to The Guardian, which claims to have a copy of it, although it reports that some of its references had been blacked out by the releasing body, suggesting this was due to the necessary protection of trade secrets.
Australia's defense officials have previously told Reuters the correspondence didn't mention any further commitments, "which remained subject to the announcement of decisions by the Australian government."
Last month, the French authorities stated that there had been reassurances from the Australian side with regard to the multibillion-euro deal, and the decision to cancel it had been a "stab in the back." French defense spokesperson Hervé Grandjean said the letter in question had been reassuring about the subsequent step that would be taken in closing the deal: "In short: forward to launching the next phase of the contract," and Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian that the document had indicated Canberra's readiness for a "rapid signature."
"Everything I have told you is confirmed by the letter I received on 15 September from the Australian Ministry of Defence, which said, 'Everything's OK – let's continue," Le Drian told a parliamentary hearing this week, adding that "someone [had] lied."
Also on rt.com EU-Australia trade talks delayed following France's AUKUS submarine snub
The decision to terminate the submarine deal with France and forge a new one between Australia, the US, and the UK, known as AUKUS, has led to a full-scale diplomatic argument, with a number of nations being drawn into the row. Among the latest developments in the wake of the falling-out, trade talks between Canberra and the European Union have been put on hold.

In a suitably sized mixing bowl, combine the rice vinegar with the sesame oil. Add the cucumber strips, stirring gently, and allow to marinate for about 4 hours. Remove from the marinade and drain. With a blender, whip the sweet potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Place half a cup of rice on the plastic wrap and press to the size of a sheet of non. Place a sheet of non on top of rice, and then spread ¼ cup of blended sweet potatoes on non and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place ¼ cup cucumber strips in the middle.

When you think about your elderly parents, all kinds of positive emotions probably come to mind.
Sadly, other people see your elderly parents as targets. Keeping your elderly parents safe from scammers doesn't have to be too difficult, though. Just be aware of these three common tactics.
Chances are your elderly parents are okay with technology but probably not as savvy as you or your kids are.
Unfortunately, this gives scam artists a big opportunity. Phishing emails are a perfect example. The elderly often think that any email that looks legitimate is legitimate. All a cybercriminal needs to do is add the right graphics and some official-sounding language, and they can "be" anyone from a government official to the utility company to someone from their doctor's office.
Whatever the case, they'll have little trouble asking your elderly parent for money or personal information and most likely getting it.
Tell your elderly parent to never pay for anything through an email unless they speak to you first. It's their money, so don't make this sound like an order. Just volunteer the 5 or 10 minutes it will take every now and then to protect them from phishing scams.
If you keep your parents safe from phishing scams, you'll be a long way toward making sure they never become victims.
However, just because phishing scams are the most popular option that doesn't mean they're the only weapon in the modern fraudster's arsenal.
Another tactic these criminals love is as disgraceful as it is effective.
Someone calls your parent. As soon as they answer, the young voice on the other end of the phone calls them "grandma/grandpa" and immediately launches into a plea for help. They're in trouble and can't get a hold of anyone else.
Keeping your elderly parents safe from scammers can be tough simply because they have the best of intentions in situations like this. Lots of people who have fallen for these senior scams are plenty smart and lucid, but the moment they heard their loved one was in trouble, they kicked logic to the curb and moved to act.
Simply telling your parent about these types of senior scams may be enough to ensure they're careful.
Another group of senior scams that should be easy to avoid are promises that are too good to be true.
Again, you never want your parents to feel as though you're taking over their money, but warn them about these scams and, once more, just volunteer a second pair of eyes to look at any opportunities they should come across.
