One of the newest entries in a rapidly developing field, the Samsung Gear 360 VR Camera benefits from Samsung's deep experience in VR tech. The Gear 360 is an affordable yet highly sophisticated all-around camera that lets you shoot 360-degree, VR-ready footage.
Designed for ease of use and intuitive sharing, the Samsung Gear 360 also supports instant social media connectivity and pairs seamlessly with the Gear 360 app for Samsung smartphones and Galaxy devices.
This roughly baseball-sized spherical camera boasts some pretty impressive technical specs, especially considering its entry-level price tag. The Gear 360 features bright f2.0 wide angle lenses and its sensor captures 4K video or richly detailed 30 megapixel still photos.
It shoots onto a micro SD card, similar to those used in GoPros and other modern action cameras. The Samsung Gear 360 also stands out for its ability to sync up quickly and intuitively with other Samsung devices. A benefit of the company's extensive VR ecosystem, the Gear 360 shoots files that are easily playable on the Gear VR immersive VR headset. The interface is streamlined and minimal yet provides plenty of options for trimming and editing once you get into the features of the Gear 360 Manager app.
So, there's plenty for hobbyists and advanced users to keep their interest, while VR novices can pretty much begin creating surround-view 360-degree video right away. And since it's designed to work with one of the most popular VR headsets on the market, the Samsung Gear 360 makes it easy to view your 360-degree video the way it's meant to be seen.
An added bonus is that the compact Gear 360 is splash and dust resistant for outdoor use and comes with an included mini tripod.

Groups of Guys
In light of the trailblazing efforts of Pillow founder Ted Shawn, these videos are resonant of the Pillow's own beginnings, featuring performances largely by men.
While Emily Molnar's Aniel includes an evenly-matched cast of men and women, this quartet shows off the men of the Vancouver-based company, returning to the Pillow for Festival 2015. Molnar took her inspiration from composer John Zorn's "Book of Angels," creating a joyous work that is rich with the whimsical and the absurd.
Playing 1 of 7
This 2013 engagement by a specially-assembled group of Brazilian dancers was a rarity, offering an encore of the same two works that brought down the house during the previous summer. Here the dynamic AGWA explores some of the properties of water in the most dynamic way imaginable.
Singled out by the New York Times as one of 2013's standout events, this Brazilian troupe was acclaimed for the way it "reshapes hip-hop moves in wonderfully subtle ways." There's one stellar female amid the crowd of men, with all bringing gritty street dancing to the stage in an exciting way.
Uprising has now entered the repertory of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, but here it is seen as performed by the choreographer's own dancers. A moment from this very dance video is featured in the 2015 feature film Desert Dancer, as part of a montage of clips discovered online by a young Iranian dancer.
This New Zealand company swept Pillow audiences by storm when they made their 20014 U.S. debut in the Doris Duke Theatre, mirroring a work seen here more than 70 years earlier: Ted Shawn's Maori War Haka.
Jacob's Pillow's Men Dancers, 1992
This company was assembled especially to commemorate the centennial of Ted Shawn's birth in 1891, and it focused on all of the advances made since Shawn's pioneering efforts in the 1930s.
Patricia Bowman, Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Emily Frankel & Mark Ryder, Mark Morris Dance Group + 3 others
New Work Created at the Pillow
Dorrance Dance, Doug Elkins Choreography, Etc., Dance Heginbotham, Jonah Bokaer + 4 others
The cast of this early signature piece includes one of the company's founders, Michael Tracy, and it demonstrates the aesthetic that originally put this iconic group on the map.

Python development is on the rise thanks to its open source nature and ability to power some of the most well-known sites and applications such as Google and YouTube. One of the draws to learning Python include its ease-of-use and being able to quickly start learning and developing with Python within a couple of days.
With so many career options and jobs requiring either Python or full-stack developers, learning Python can be a great way to land a dream job or boost your career with new skills. With the ease of learning that comes with Python, you can up your development game in no time.
If you've been interested in learning a new programming language but don't want to take a lot of time to do so, Python is a great option, especially if you've done programming in other languages.
Below are some tips to help you get started with understanding and learning Python so that you can quickly start developing your next project.
As a beginner, you may think there is one main version of Python and that's the one everyone is on. But Python is unique in that there are actually two versions of Python most commonly used today: Python 2 and Python 3.
Why two versions? Python 3 was released as a vast improvement over Python 2. However, it didn't go over well with developers, thus most went back to Python 2 (2.7 to be exact) until Python 3 was updated and made better.
It's important to pick a version to learn from the start, as both versions vary from each other. Do some research and figure out the pros and cons for each. Likely, as a beginner, some of these won't make sense to you. However, you can still learn from your research and select the best one for your needs and goals.
With Python development, you will need something to actually run your code and give instructions on how the code should proceed. This is done through the Python interpreter. The Python interpreter reads the instructions and carries out commands.
The Python interpreter will also tell you answers to commands almost immediately. If you would like to try out a Python interpreter to get a better feel of what it does, try this online one out. Think of the Python interpreter much like a Web browser. It reads the code and executes it so that you can see how it works.
Depending on your coding experience, you may or may not have worked with a language in which the tabs or indentions you use in the code are important. In Python, tabs and indentations are extremely important.
It's important when you get started to make sure your indentions are clean and intentional. If you mess one up or don't have them in the right place, it could throw your code into a loop. Keep your code organized and make sure that your indentions are in line and where they should be.
As with earning anything new, there may be times you get stuck and need help learning something, troubleshooting something, or problem solving. The Python community is passionate and can help you as you're trying to learn.
Don't be afraid to reach out to these communities as you're learning. They are always eager to help beginners to save you time and frustration. It's better to learn something from an experienced developer than possibly learn something the wrong way and it cause issues later on.
Python is a free and open-source platform for development, and there are many good resources out there to help you get started. Some of them are free, while others are paid.
If you are truly wanting to learn Python development as a career choice, it's recommended to actually pay for the proper courses and training tools you need to get started. While such education can be expensive, there are a few ways you can get started learning Python affordably.
The Python Programming Bootcamp bundle on The Next Web Deals will walk you through learning more about Python and teach you how to get started. There are over 50 hours of training in the bundle to help you learn more about the language and how to develop your next site or app.
With Python running some of the most well known systems, such as Google and Youtube, Python is increasing in popularity, so now is a great time to get started. You can purchase the deal for $39, which is 96 percent off the regular $1,094 price.


The individual will teach courses in interpersonal communication, communication research methods, public speaking, conflict resolution, and be willing to develop new courses.
Required qualifications include: Ph.D. in Communication or related field; ; experience teaching in higher education.
Preferred qualifications include: Experience advising students; evidence of effective undergraduate teaching.
For full job description, which includes additional responsibilities and requirements for the position and application procedures, see our web site at https://employment.ric.edu/. Candidates must apply on-line, using Rhode Island College's PeopleAdmin Applicant Tracking system.
The doctoral or other appropriate terminal degree is required for all tenure-track appointments and must be completed prior to the beginning of service.
As an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity institution that values and is committed to expanding the diversity of its faculty and staff, the College invites members of protected classes, including minorities and persons with disabilities, to identify themselves as such at the time of application.

"FREE FIRE": Mayhem and dick waving
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged "Free Fire", Armie Hammer, Ben Wheatley, Brie Larson, Cilliam Murphy, Noah Taylor, Sharlto Copley on April 20, 2017| Leave a Comment »
Left to right: Armie Hammer, Brie Larson, Cillian Murphy, Sam Riley, Michael Smiley
"FREE FIRE" My rating: C+
90 minutes | MPAA rating: R
A dozen tough guys stewing in their own testosterone. A van packed with illegal weapons. A briefcase full of cash. A closed environment from which there is no easy escape.
What could go wrong?
A streamlined 90 minutes of pumped-up bullet blasting (literally) and wienie waving (metaphorically), "Free Fire" is the latest from Brit action auteur Ben Wheatley ("Kill List"), but its origins are pure Quentin Tarantino, with special nods to "Reservoir Dogs" and "The Hateful Eight."
In an abandoned umbrella factory in Boston an arms deal is taking place.
Chris (Cillian Murphy) has crossed the pond to buy automatic weapons for the IRA (the time is the mid-'70s, judging by the dreadful fashions, hairstyles and absence of cell phones).
He's backed by the grimly efficient hitman Frank (Wheatley regular Michael Smiley), Frank's screwup brother-in-law Stevo (Sam Riley), and Stevo's worthless running buddy, Bernie (Enzo Cilenti).
Selling the weapons is Rhodesian gun runner Vernon (Sharlto Copley), a world-class sleazebag whose smarmy mouth keeps writing checks his fists cannot cash. Good thing his seemingly civilized partner Martin (Babou Ceesay) is there to keep Vernon in check.
Vernon has his own goon squad on hand: The mountainously hairy Jimmy (Mark Monero) and the wizened Gordon (Noah Taylor).
Supervising the transaction are the two middlemen who set up the deal. Ord (Armie Hammer) is a superslick dude in a turtleneck and blazer who oozes post-modern irony; Justine (Brie Larson) is a cool beauty sharp enough to verbally emasculate chauvinists like Vernon but willing to use her seductive skills to get what she wants.

"THE DOUBLE": Dystopian doppleganger

Jesse Eisenberg and…Jesse Eisenberg in "The Double"
"THE DOUBLE" My rating: C+ (Opening July 4 at the Screenland Crown Center)
93 minutes | MPAA rating: R)
Though it is based on a novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, one could be forgiven for thinking "The Double" is an adaptation of Franz Kafka.
Richard Ayoade's film gives us a hapless protagonist trapped in a web of illogical but rigid social and political rules. This poor schlub finds himself living in a nightmare from which he cannot awaken.
The problem is that for me dramatizations of Kafka never really work. They may be well acted, imaginatively mounted, and they may deal with important human issues. But what seems subversive and insightful on the printed page always comes off as a bit silly and, worse, boring when brought to the screen. Kafka-ish yarns are always about an Everyman…and Everymen aren't all that interesting.
Once in a blue moon a director takes a Kafkaesque situation and makes it both funny and compelling — Terry Gilliam's "Brazil," for example.
"The Double" works about half the time, thanks to its depiction of a glum alternative world and a bravura double performance from Jesse Eisenberg. But it can't quite make it over the hump.
Eisenberg is best known for playing dweebs in films like "Zombieland" and "Wonderland" and — let's face it — "The Social Network." Here gets to play not only a disaffected dweeb but also his lookalike tormentor. Two characters that are polar opposites.
And, yes, the kid can act. He's so good here I wish I liked the movie more.
Simon (Eisenberg) lives in a grungy, ill-lit metropolis in which technology seems to have peaked around 1935. He's employed by some sort of government agency ruled by the Colonel (James Fox), a paternalistic Big Brotherish figure in a white uniform. Exactly what this agency does is never made clear, but it must be important since it has a high degree of security. When he leaves his ID at home, Simon has a hard time convincing anyone at work that he's been coming there for years. He's that forgettable.
Our man yearns for success but is totally lacking in the qualities that might bring it. He's got no self-assurance, creativity, or charisma.
"SUBMARINE" : Youth isn't all it's cracked up to be

Craig Roberts in "Submarine"
"SUBMARINE" My rating: C+ (Now at the Glenwood at Red Bridge)
JD Salinger never allowed a movie to be made of his classic novel The Catcher in the Rye, and I now think I know why.
It's because his adolescent protagonist Holden Caulfield — so funny, entertaining and idiosyncratic on the written page — would be borderline intolerable in the flesh-and-blood world of film.
I base this on my reaction to "Submarine," an adaptation of Joe Dunthorne's novel about a Welsh teenager in the '80s. Dunthorne's Oliver Tate is self-absorbed, judgmental and maddening in all the ways a young person can be, but while he's fun to encounter on the written page, in the darkness of the movie house he's an infuriating and irritating wad of mopey misery.
As played by young Craig Roberts, Oliver isn't much fun to be around, despite the cinema tricks thrown at him by director Richard Ayoade.
For example, early on our furtively angry hero imagines what it would be like if he were to die. He envisions — and we witness — TV news reports of the mass outpouring of grief, of candle-bearing classmates, of spontaneous shrines to his memory that spring up on street corners, of platitudinous eulogies.

In optical microscopes, there is a fundamental trade-off between field-of-view and resolution: the finer the detail, the smaller the region imaged by the microscope. One way to overcome this limitation is to translate the sample and acquire images over a larger field-of-view. The basic idea is to stitch together many high resolution images to form a large FOV. In these images, you get to see both the full sample, as well as fine detail in any portion of the sample. The result is an image consisting of about a billion pixels, much larger in comparison to the pictures taken by a dSLR or smart phone, which typically have around 10 to 50 million pixels. Check out these gigapixel landscapes for an impressive demonstration of the massive amount of information in these images.
In this instructable, I will go over how to build a microscope capable of imaging a 90mm x 60mm field-of-view with pixels corresponding to 2μm at the sample (although, I think the resolution is probably closer to 15μm). The system uses camera lenses, but the same concept can be applied using microscope objectives to get even finer resolution.
In addition to image stitching, recent progress in computational imaging makes gigapixel microscopy possible without even moving the sample!
This is an extraordinarily clever idea. I wondered if perhaps a low-cost 3D printer might work as a positioner as you already have the XYZ axis and with a suitably lightweight camera and an appropriate bracket, something like the Creality Ender 3 (which I own) should be able to position to approx. 0.05mm accuracy with minimal backlash. After all, that's what it's gotta do as a good 3D printer. Then just use gcode files to control the translation sequence. Camera weight could be offset with a spring assembly mounted to the top of the printer frame, I would think, so that the gantry doesn't have to carry the camera weight, you could virtually 'zero out' the weight and the inertia isn't an issue as you will be moving at very low velocity.
I think modifying a cheap 3D printer would definitely work for this project. Good idea to use a spring assembly for the camera mounting. I think this would be the toughest part. Another advantage to using the 3D printer hardware is easy control in the z-direction for adjust the focus, which was a pain to do manually with the tripod.
For stiching images you can also use Microsoft Image Composite Editor, it's free.
Just tried out Microsoft ICE. It is incredible! Thanks for the suggestion.
Awesome, thanks for the tip. I will try it out.
I use Microsoft ICE for stitching images.
Thanks for sharing this source!
There are a number of way using software algorithms to improve on the image resolution. Would be great to collaborate with someone who is more familiar with these techniques to really push the boundaries of the resolution!
Good idea, I had one link in the intro for a gigapixel microscope that required no moving of the sample. But there are many more ideas out there!
Cool! I wonder if one could do this by mounting a camera on a CNC router? I am guessing camera weight would be a problem.
Definitely seems possible. A smaller camera with the right optics would solve the weight problem.
Getting 404's on those image links.
Thanks for letting me know. They should be working now.

BMW 1 Series: old vs new
The latest BMW 1 Series is noticeably different to its predecessor - we compare old and new
by Ben Custard
The BMW 1 Series didn't exist prior to 2004 but now the BMW range would feel incomplete without a hatchback model to rival the Mercedes A-Class and Audi A3. The 1 Series is the BMW experience distilled into a smaller, more affordable package, and monthly PCP finance payments means it's often within reach of buyers who are considering more mainstream options like the Ford Focus and SEAT Leon.
There's a significant difference between the new BMW 1 Series and the old one. Previously rear-wheel drive, the new car has moved to a front-wheel-drive platform shared with the MINI. Enthusiasts aren't completely pleased but BMW says the vast majority of customers won't be able to tell the difference. It's still sweet to drive but moving to front-wheel drive improves practicality and makes the car lighter.
Best luxury small cars to buy this year
We've compared the two models to help you choose between them.
When the previous 1 Series was launched it divided opinion because the original 1 Series' rounded headlights were replaced with large angular ones. Elsewhere, the styling remained quite close to that of its predecessor. A midlife facelift tidied up the front-end design, with slimmer headlights that featured new LED daytime running lights. The tail-lights were reprofiled too, allowing a wider boot opening.
The new 1 Series brought more widespread changes, including the demise of the three-door model. It's grown in size, with a much steeper window line designed to give it a sporty feel. It looks smart from most angles, although the new enlarged grilles haven't come in for universal praise. As before, trim levels are marked out by exclusive bumpers and different alloy wheels, and the fast BMW M135i adds even more presence with grey trim elements, black grilles and two-tone wheels. The sporty 1 Series models are less subtly styled than before, which you may or may not prefer.
The previous 1 Series' interior mostly lived up to the premium badge on the steering wheel, with a good selection of materials and strong equipment levels. All post-facelift cars get sat nav, DAB radio, air con and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Many cars came with a 6.5-inch screen but if you're not keen on the chunky plastic surrounds, an upgraded 8.8-inch 'Professional' screen was offered. The sportier trim levels also offered aluminium or coloured inserts to brighten up the otherwise drab dashboard.
Step into the new 1 Series and the resemblance to the old one is clear but it feels far more modern and inviting. The screen (which now is a touchscreen) starts at 8.8 inches but high-spec cars get a slick 10.25-inch version - and a digital instrument cluster of the same size. Buttons are borrowed from the more expensive BMW 3 Series and light inserts lift the interior. The equipment count is even more impressive, with all cars now getting LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors and Apple CarPlay. It's no less impressive than the Mercedes A-Class, and Audi A3 drivers won't be disappointed either.
Economy and performance
As the only hatchback with rear-wheel drive, the BMW 1 Series was unique among rivals and it was the best-driving hatch you could buy - whether you picked the entry-level engines or the 335bhp M140i. BMW's xDrive four-wheel-drive system was available on some of the more powerful engines, and is worth looking out for if you want extra peace of mind in tricky driving conditions. Even the 118i petrol reaches 0-62mph in just 8.5 seconds, while the 120d and 125d are as fast as some hot hatchbacks. You should get 40mpg from the petrols (30mpg for the M140i when driven carefully) and 50mpg from most diesels, although we'd also recommend budgeting for a set of winter tyres if you're buying a rear-wheel-drive model.
Enthusiasts were less than enthusiastic when it was revealed that the new 1 Series was moving to front-wheel drive. It now shares a platform with the MINI hatchback, and keen drivers will be glad to know that the BMW is still a class-leader when it comes to fun behind the wheel. Hot hatch fans will head straight to the 302bhp M135i, which is now four-wheel drive, but we do prefer the old rear-wheel-drive M140i. The engines offer similar performance to the previous model but economy has improved; the frugal 116d diesel can achieve almost 63mpg, and the nippy 118i petrol achieves 47mpg.
One of the compromises involved with owning the previous 1 Series was its practicality. Those in the front have plenty of space but the sloping roofline and rear-drive layout mean it is quite cramped in the back. The 360-litre boot was a little less generous than the Volkswagen Golf, and much less than the most practical hatchbacks.
Switching to front-wheel drive freed up some extra space in the new 1 Series, so its 380-litre boot now exactly matches the Golf - and it's a more useful shape too. For added convenience, a powered tailgate is also available for the first time. It's worth noting that, while legroom is much improved, the new 1 Series still doesn't offer rear-seat passengers as much headroom as some rivals.
All three generations of BMW 1 Series hatchback have gained a full five-star rating from Euro NCAP but the test gets stricter every year, so the latest 1 Series is actually even safer than the car it replaces. To get five stars, new cars must come with autonomous emergency braking and lane-departure warning - these were only optional on the last car. You can add plenty of extra safety features onto the new 1 Series, with lane-keeping assist and blind-spot monitoring likely to come in handy.
Besides a slight lack of rear headroom and the M135i lacking in excitement, the latest 1 Series has almost no drawbacks. It's our favourite luxury small car because it's fantastic to drive yet economical, while the interior feels much more high-end than it ever has done. You're unlikely to notice the change to front-wheel drive but you will notice the various improvements BMW has made compared to the previous 1 Series. If you can afford it, the latest 1 Series is definitely the one to pick.

#PeopleOfSGVolleyball – Jasmine Leow
Home/General/#PeopleOfSGVolleyball – Jasmine Leow
1. Tell us more about yourself and your volleyball life.
I joined the then-Pei Dao Secondary School at the age of 13 in 1980 and that was my first exposure to the game of volleyball. I was coached by the late-Mr. Lim Bah Seng and benefited immensely from him. For some strange reasons, the game and I just clicked and I fell in love with volleyball. As a young secondary one player, I was included in the then-Combined Schools (now known as ASG) volleyball team and represented Singapore Schools at the ASEAN Schools volleyball championships in Malaysia.
In 1981, as a 14-year old, I was drafted into the National Women's SEA Games squad for the 11th SEA Games in Manila, Philippines. The Women's volleyball team won the bronze medal in that edition of the Games and it was one of the most memorable experience I had as a national athlete. I continued playing with the National team over the next 11 years and participated in a total of six editions of the SEA Games from 1981 through to 1993. After the 1993 edition, I retired from the National Team and focused on work and my family.
From 1983 to 1987, I was under the tutelage of Coach Akihiko Narita. Coincidentally, Coach Narita returned to Singapore in 2013 and my daughter (Jolly Chan) was also coached by Coach Narita in preparation for the 2015 SEA Games in Singapore. She is also part of the bronze medal team in the 2015 SEA Games.
I started playing recreationally when I was 40 years old and now I crave for more game time the older I get!
2. What are you doing to contribute to volleyball in Singapore?
Honestly other than playing the game as a national athlete over 12 years, I don't think I have done much for Singapore volleyball. Does encouraging my daughter to play since young count as contribution? [laughter]
I have been away for too long and only started coaching younger players (in primary school and secondary school) since last year. I guess starting to play recreationally in my 40s re-ignited my passion for the sport and I will like to play a part in coaching and mentoring the younger players. I enjoyed working with the younger players and I hope I can contribute by passing on the skills and sharing my experiences as a national athlete with them!
3. What will you do to encourage more volleyballers to contribute in their own ways, to give back to the sport?
I remember when I was younger that it was the greatest honour to represent the nation, may it be as a student athlete at the Combined Schools level, at the Age-Group level or as a Senior National athlete. Then, everyone in the sport wants to have a chance to represent the nation.
I noticed that this is no longer the case, especially for the younger generation. I am not sure if the academic pressure is too big for our students or parents are not supportive of their endeavors, or a combination of both. Some of the student athletes I talked to are not keen to get involved in ASG or even try out at National level as they have too many commitments.
I hope that younger players aspire to play at the highest level possible. I feel that volleyball is a very technical sport and it involves repetitive skills training and building of muscle memory. There is a lot of hard work involved to be able to play the sport well and compete with the best players locally and regionally. There is no shortcut to success.
I was sadden with the development of (or lack of) in the sports over the last two decades. There has been a lack of focus and we effectively lost 20 years of development. I am glad that we are starting to see some progress with the new Council (many whom are ex-players) to help revamp the way things are run in the Association. I hope that they keep the enthusiasm and passion and we should support them in whatever way we can to drive progress in Singapore Volleyball.

GM Salmon: A Risk To Consumers And The Environment?
Politics Food safety & handling Post-harvest
4 August 2010, at 1:00am
US - There has been much speculation over whether the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will allow the sale of genetically modified (GM) salmon to consumers. Executive Director of Food & Water Watch, a US non-for-profit organisation, insists that there are environmental and consumer related health risks from GM salmon.
Executive Director, Wenonah Hauter says that many in the aquaculture industry seek to genetically engineer fish to speed up production of their product.
In this case, the company lobbying the FDA for approval, AquaBounty Technologies, wants to combine salmon genes that control growth hormone with a gene from another fish, the ocean pout. The ocean pout gene would keep the growth hormone in production, effectively creating mutant salmon that grow at twice the normal rate."
Ms Hauter says that the FDA's tests (historically used to determine if a non-GM food was safe) were created before GM products became a reality and are insufficient in determining the long-term, unforeseen consequences of the GM salmon in question. Put simply, these dated tests cannot determine the salmon's full allergenicity and toxicity.
Ms Hauter highlights a recent study commissioned by the EU revealed that fish that ahve been modified to grow faster also have a higher tolerance to the toxins in their environment. Researchers expressed concerns that both these toxins and the growth hormones would end up in consumers.
"In addition to the FDA's inability to test for the full range of consumer health threats introduced by GM foods, the agency's tests do not include a review of the GM animals' environmental impacts," says Mr Hauter.
"AquaBounty has claimed that they will raise their fish in land-based facilities where ocean escapes are impossible, but what about the masses of corporations that will no doubt race to produce GM fish in the crowded open ocean facilities they already utilise for fish production? If the FDA approves GM fish, these fish will likely escape from their floating ocean pens (millions of salmon currently escape from them every year). Furthermore, even if a company promises to produce sterile fish incapable of interbreeding with the wild population, fast growing GM fish can easily outcompete wild fish for natural resources."

Jan Smutsies (tartlets)
Jan Smutsies are somewhat similar to cheeseless cheesecake tarts, the main difference being that Jan Smutsies contain apricot jam (South Africans' favourite jam) while cheesecake tarts are made from raspberry jam.
Jan Smuts was an eminent South African and British Commonwealth statesman, military leader, and philosopher. He was Prime Minister in the Union of South-Africa from 1919 to 1924 and again from 1939 to 1948. His political supporters preferred these tartlets over Hertzoggies.
1 ½ cups flour
1 egg (beaten)
¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
2 large eggs (beaten)
1 cup (225 ml) flour
½ cup fine apricot jam
Grease patty pans with non-stick spray.
Sift flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg together.
Rub butter into flour until crumbly.
Add sugar and mix well.
Add egg and mix.
Roll out to 3 mm thickness, on a flour covered area. Press out circles that are 8 cm in diameter and use it to line creased patty pans.
Place ½ teaspoon of apricot jam on each pastry circle.
Add eggs and mix.
Sift flour and baking powder together, add vanilla and mix into egg mixture.
Add a spoonful of cake mixture into each tartlet.
Bake for 15 minutes in an oven at 180°C until browned. If you press it down lightly, the tops of the cakes it must return to their original shape.
Remove from pans and cool on a cake rack.
Eat within a day or two.

Abstract. This chapter examines the banking system and the related operations of credit control. It shows (i) that the banking system was designed as an integral part of the economic system and therefore had similar problem of incentive incompatibility, and (ii) that financial reform, whilst weakening central control, failed to change the fundamental design of the banking : Leroy Jin.

House Passes ABA-Backed 'Living Will' Reform Bill
on	 January 30, 2018 Newsbytes, Policy
The House today voted unanimously to pass the American Bankers Association-supported H.R. 4292, which would extend the submission cycle for large bank resolution plans — also known as "living wills" — to once every two years and require timely regulator feedback. The bill was introduced by Reps. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) and Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.).
"Requiring filings no more frequently than every two years and timely regulator feedback on the submissions would make the resolution planning process more efficient, while still supporting regulators' ability to deal with a failed institution," ABA said.

Super Soup Challenge – The Rematch!
First it was the copy of a cookbook I was sent that was all about Italy – food and otherwise. Then, it was the stack of Italian cookbooks on the shelf at the boy's house that I got lured into. After that, the theme of gnocchi for Hay Hay It's Donna Day. The next movie in my Netflix list was Italian for Beginners (which I still haven't watched). When I got the latest Food and Wine magazine in the mail and saw the Italian themed cover, I threw my hands up. I get the point – we're having an Italian food moment. It's everywhere.
Caponata is one of my favorite Italian dishes. While I have heard of people serving it warm as a side dish, I prefer the cold "antipasti" version. Making this gave me an excellent excuse to crack open Jamie's Italy by Jamie Oliver. I really love this cookbook for all sorts of reasons – Jamie's loose writing style, the beautiful first hand experience photos, and the rustic feel of the book. If you haven't checked it out yet, do so.
I used Jamie's recipe as a springboard for my caponata. While he likes his a little firmer, I appreciate digging into the stewed, comforting texture of it when it's been cooked a bit more. The seeds in the eggplant don't bother me so much since it sort of falls in line with the stewed texture – to each their own. I also like mine after it sits for a day or two and the flavors really merge and mingle. Enjoy this on some toasted bread, with slices of prosciutto & a glass of wine, or as accompaniment to roasted meats.
and parsley stems and continue cooking for another couple of minutes.
in the drained capers and the olives and drizzle over the herb vinegar.
around 15 minutes or until tender.
sprinkled with the chopped parsley leaves and the almonds if you like.
This seems like it would be good with a poached egg as well. Or maybe spooned over a firm fish, like swordfish. Looks great.
This looks like a great dish. You just can't go wrong with ripe tomatoes, eggplant, aromatics and good olive oil. I'll have to put this on my to do list. BTW, the right margin of your instructions section cuts off the last couple letters.
I think caponata as an accompaniment to swordfish would be awesome! what a good suggestion!
I think its fixed! Thanks for stopping by.
Like you, I like to softer texture better in a caponata. I make mine with black oil-cured olives, but no herbs, to let the flavour of the vegetables shine, adding just a drizzle of balsamic vinegar when the dish is almost done.
You mention "seeds in the eggplant", did you mean to write "tomatoes"?
Both, really. Some recipes say to seed the eggplant…some dont. I dont mind seeds of either…within reason…especially since I do let mine cook down a bit more than say Jamie's recipe would.
I love caponata! Yours looks delicious!
My son and I have enjoyed quite a few recipes from Jamie Oliver's Italian cookery book. We especially enjoyed the gelato, pizza and bruschette recipes.Jamies enthusiasm is contagious and the photography is inspiring.

Florida Students to March on Washington in Call for Gun Reform After Deadly High School Shooting
Students who survived a mass shooting at their Florida school on Sunday announced plans to march on Washington in a bid to "shame" lawmakers into reforming laws that make powerful firearms readily available.
The "March for our Lives" will take place on March 24, with sister marches planned across the country, a group of students told ABC News, vowing to make Wednesday's shooting a turning point in America's deadlocked debate on gun control.
Nineteen-year-old Nikolas Cruz, a troubled former student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, has confessed to killing 17 people with a legally-purchased AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, the latest such atrocity in a country plagued by gun violence.
Among the students announcing the march was Emma Gonzalez, who captured worldwide attention with a powerful speech in which she assailed President Donald Trump over the multi-million-dollar support his campaign received from the gun lobby, and vowed Stoneman Douglas would be "the last mass shooting."
On Sunday, the 18-year-old Gonzalez urged politicians to join a conversation about gun control — citing Trump as well as Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Governor Rick Scott, who are fellow Republicans.
"We want to give them the opportunity to be on the right side of this," she said, as she and her four classmates called on students nationwide to help push the message across.
Singling out the links between politicians and the powerful National Rifle Association, fellow student Cameron Kasky said any politician "who is taking money from the NRA is responsible for events like this."
"This isn't about the GOP," he said, referring to the Republican Party. "This isn't about the Democrats."
Accusing the NRA of "fostering and promoting this gun culture," Kasky said the students sought to "create a new normal where there's a badge of shame on any politician who's accepting money from the NRA."
"People keep asking us, what about the Stoneman Douglas shooting is going to be different, because this has happened before and change hasn't come?" said Kasky.

Q: Multivariate Test for Mean Equivalence I am looking for an equivalence test for multivariate means (arbitrary or normally distributed).
Any suggestions or hints in the right direction are appreciated.

A: Assuming $X\sim N(\mu, \Sigma_X),~~ Y\sim N(\nu, \Sigma_Y)$ with sample sizes $m,n$, an equivalence test for the means would be
$$(\mu-\nu)^T\Sigma^{-1}(\mu-\nu) \ge \epsilon^2$$
where $\epsilon$ is the equivalence boundary you have chosen and $\Sigma=(\Sigma_X+\Sigma_Y)$. This is actually the Wald test, under the assumption of zero distance. You can find a very detailed explanation in Chapter 8 of Wellek's bible of equivalence testing.

Most of my East Coast snake encounters have been with Garter Snakes. A few days ago I got to meet a clump of Northern Water Snakes (Nerodia sipedon), who were basking in the afternoon sun on a log along the Wissahickon Creek.
The banding and coloration of water snakes are somewhat variable, but in general, the adults are dark gray, while the younger snakes have distinct tan and dark banding. Sometimes a water snake will have a darker upper body and lighter underside. When wet, the snakes' banding will be more apparent. As the snakes age, the bands will grow fainter until an older snake may take on the appearance of a dark rubber hose flopped over a log.
Water Snakes can grow to 4 feet or more.
The thick body and basic color of water snakes make them easily mistaken for Cottonmouths / Water Moccasins(Agkistrodon piscivorus) and for Copperheads (Agkistrodon contortix). However, the bands on the Water Snake differs from that of the Agkistrodons in that the darker bands are wider than the lighter ones, and the bands are less irregular.
There are some other distinctions though. For instance, if you peer closely into a water snake's eye, you will note that the pupil is round, and not at all similar to that of the venemous Cottonmouths and Copperheads. Also, while copperheads and watersnakes have loreal scales, the cottonmouth lacks one. I, however, just plan to rely on color pattern.
These snakes dine on fish, frogs, salamanders, leeches, and other small animals. In turn, they are preyed upon by snapping turtles, other snakes, raccoons, otters, oppossums, and foxes. Females give live birth in August to October. No babycare is necessary for Mr. and Mrs. Sipedon, and everyone can get back to basking on that log before winter sets in. Then it's hibernation time. A favorite place to spend the winter is in muskrat or beaver dams, even sharing the accomodations with those Copperheads.
Although water snakes are not venemous, they can deliver a nasty bite and won't hesitate to do so if approached. If that doesn't get your attention, they will defecate and emit an unpleasant musk.
They just like to be left alone as they bask on a sunny log or coil up in a cozy clump amidst some protective vegetation.
Can you find all four faces in this heap o' Nerodia sipedon?
