Hackers get Linux running on a PlayStation 4
In the two years since the PlayStation 4 first went on sale, hackers have enjoyed limited success in their efforts to open up the console. In June, a Brazilian team claimed the first PS4 "jailbreak," which involved the cumbersome process of copying the entire hard drive of a hacked machine using a Raspberry Pi, but it took until this month for a tinkerer to fully circumvent Sony's content protections. With a proper exploit in the wild, homebrew group fail0verflow took on the challenge of installing a full version of Linux on the system. It achieved its goal this week, giving the homebrew community hope that the PlayStation 4 will soon become a worthy tool in their arsenal.
Although exact details of the exploit have yet to be disclosed, it appears that the fail0verflow team took a WebKit bug recently documented by GitHub user CTurt and then turned things up a notch. CTurt's workaround focuses on the PlayStation 4's Webkit browser, which is tricked into freeing processes from the core of the console's operating system by an improvised webpage. The PS4 is powered by Sony's Orbis OS, which is based on a Unix-like software called FreeBSD and is therefore susceptible to common exploits.
With a route into the console's system, fail0verflow then identified weaknesses in the PlayStation 4's GPU. Engineers from semiconductor company Marvell were called out specifically and accused of "smoking some real good stuff" when they built the PlayStation 4's southbridge chip.
Before you start dreaming up your next DIY computing project, you should know that this proof-of-concept relies on PS4 firmware 1.76. Sony recently issued firmware 3.11 to consoles. While the bug has now been patched, it's believed the jailbreak could be altered to achieve the same outcome on more recent firmwares. Incidentally, the WebKit bug identified here is the exact same one that affected Apple's Safari browser, which put iOS 6.0 and OS X 10.7 and 10.8 at risk in 2013. It shows just how common WebKit-based software now is.
While PS4 owners won't be able to install pirated games anytime soon, fail0verflow's achievement shouldn't be dismissed. Sony went to a lot of trouble to ensure that unsigned code could not be run on the console. The company requires that the machine runs on the very latest software, meaning hacker groups still have a long way to go before the PlayStation 4 is made truly open to hobbyists -- just like the PlayStation 3 officially was when it first hit shelves almost a decade ago.

Doctors use Google Cardboard to explore a heart, save a life
Four-month-old Teegan Lexcen was born in Minnesota with a small, malformed heart, no left lung, and the faintest chance of seeing her first Christmas. Now she's recovering after open-heart surgery at Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami, Florida, where a team of enterprising doctors used a smartphone and Google's Cardboard VR headset to peer into her chest and save her life.
Tackling such a delicate operation would've been harrowing even if the patient were an adult, but Teegan's situation was made trickier by her fragile frame. A successful surgery would have required an astute understanding of the shape her tiny heart was in, and 2D MRI scans could only tell part of the story. The answer? Dr. Juan-Carlos Muniz, head of Nicklaus Children's MRI department, converted those 2D scans into stereoscopic images, loaded them onto an iPhone and stuck it inside Google Cardboard for his colleague, cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Redmond Burke to peek at. The experience, Burke told UploadVR, was like "standing in the operating room" two weeks prior to surgery.
Armed with clearer knowledge of Teegan's heart, Dr. Burke figured out where to make his first incision — right in the middle of her chest. Seven hours later, Teegan got a new lease on life and the VR movement got a brand new feather in its collective cap. Most of the medical VR experiences we've seen have been centered around touring the deep recesses of the brain, be they abstract or unflinchingly complex. While those simulations tend to rely on high-grade VR setups like the Oculus Rift, the events of the past few weeks prove you don't need pricey gear to change minds and lives — just a willingness to look at things a little differently.

Android N To Use Oracle's OpenJDK For Java APIs
News from a "mysterious Android codebase commit" has revealed that Google is replacing its implementation of the Java application programming interfaces (APIs) in Android N with OpenJDK, the open source version of Oracle's Java Development Kit (JDK).
The news came to light in an article last month in Hacker News with news of a code commit, which shows 8,902 files were committed with OpenJDK instead of the proprietary JDK version. Google has confirmed the use of OpenJDK in Android N, the next-generation version of its operating system.
Doing The Java Dance
The relationship between Google and Oracle has been historically fractious, culminating in the Oracle vs Google legal case where Oracle attempted to sue Google for copyright and patent infringement of Java APIs August 2010. (Oracle purchased Sun in January 2010, acquiring Java, and continued developing it.)
In implementing Android OS, Google wrote its own version of Java, but used the same names, organization, and functionality as the Java API. Google released the Android software development kit (SDK) on November 12, 2007. Google negotiated with Sun about possible partnership and licensing deals for Java, but no agreement was reached.
Oracle sued Google for copyright and patent infringement in August 2010. The case went to court with a ruling that APIs are not subject to copyright with a counter appeal by Oracle which had the decision reversed but left open the possibility that Google might have a fair use defense. In October 2014, Google petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case. The petition was denied by the United States Supreme Court on June 29, 2015 and the case currently resides in a lower court without closure.
In light of the recent news, it's easy to wonder if the legal dispute between Oracle and Google has been settled out of court, or if it's a coincidence that Google is adopting OpenJDK. Google told VentureBeat that the legal dispute is still ongoing, so it couldn't comment on whether the code change is related to the dispute.
There has been increased dissatisfaction with Google's Java Android implementation from Android developers, with some seeking alternatives to bring the language up to date.
Languages such as Kotlin (developed by the creators of Android's official IDE Jetbrains) have sought to fill some of these gaps by offering features missing from the current Android implementation of Java such as static typing, reduction of boiler plate code alongside 100% Java interoperability. Others have wondered if Google might even try to replace Android's reliance on Java completely with languages such as Go or maybe if Hell freezes over, even Swift now there's a Linux compiler? Although these options are a lot of work and unlikely in the short term future.
At any rate, this news is a step forward to reduce the inconsistencies Android developers experience. Will the court case be resolved any time soon? With potentially monumental consequences for whether APIs can be trademarked, we'll have to wait and see.

Microsoft's AI no longer listens to 'Hey Cortana' on Android
Less than two weeks after Microsoft introduced its hands-free AI helper, Cortana, to Android mobile devices, the company has yanked the feature from the US market. Users used to be able to say "Hey, Cortana" and then issue a command, just like "OK, Google" natively does for Google Now. However, the feature appears to be incompatible with Google's voice recognition system and, in some cases, could make the phone unusable for commons tasks -- like making phone calls.
As such, Microsoft updated the app on Sunday to disable Cortana's voice activation. The company could well reinstate it once the interference issues are resolved but until then, the only way to talk to Microsoft's robo-helper in the states for the time being is on a Windows Phone. The feature is, however, still active for non-US customers.

The Nexus 4 & 7 Will Be Closer To Handling An Upstream Linux Kernel
Rob Clark submitted his MSM-Next DRM driver changes today in preparation for the Linux 4.5 kernel cycle.
He was quick to note that with this MSM DRM driver update from the Freedreno project there is now DSI support for Qualcomm's MSM8960 and APQ8064 hardware. He explains the impact as, "should be helpful for getting an upstream kernel working on nexus7/nexus4/etc." DSI is short for the Display Serial Interface and is a MIPI specification for communicating between the host and display device.

Log into most any Linux system by hitting backspace 28 times
Security researchers have discovered a ludicrously simple way to hack into a number of Linux distributions: Just tap the backspace key 28 times in a row. A team from the Cybersecurity Group at Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) in Spain found that doing so for builds utilizing the ubiquitous Grub2 bootloader -- that's to say just about all of them -- immediately bypasses the lock screen, initiates the "Grub rescue shell" and grants the user access to the system for whatever nefarious things they have in mind.
The team found that the backspace trick triggers a memory error, which in turn launches the rescue shell. The bug isn't a huge threat -- I mean, a hacker would need physical access to your machine in order to exploit it -- especially now that Ubuntu, Red Hat, and Debian all have released patches.

Disney's FaceDirector changes facial expressions in movies
The new tool out of Disney Research's labs could turn an ingénue's semi-decent attempt into a finely nuanced performance. This software called FaceDirector has the capability to merge together separate frames from different takes to create the perfect scene. It does that by analyzing both the actor's face and audio cues to identify the frames that correspond with each other. As such, directors can create brand new takes during post-production with zero input from the actor. They don't even need specialized hardware like 3D cameras for the trick -- it works even with footage taken by regular 2D cams.
According to Disney Research VP Markus Gross, the tool could be used to lower a movie's production costs or to stay within the budget, say, if it's an indie film that doesn't have a lot of money to spare. "It's not unheard of for a director to re-shoot a crucial scene dozens of times, even 100 or more times, until satisfied," he said. "That not only takes a lot of time -- it also can be quite expensive. Now our research team has shown that a director can exert control over an actor's performance after the shoot with just a few takes, saving both time and money." Considering the lab also developed a way to make dubbed movies more believable and to take advantage of incredibly high frame rates, we wouldn't be surprised if filmmakers arm themselves with an arsenal of Disney Research tools in the future.
It's probably hard to visualize the way FaceDirector works without seeing an example, so make sure to watch the video below to see it in action.

Google's Project Sunroof can assess homes in more states
Solar panels are a huge investment, so something like Project Sunroof that can tell you if they're a good fit for your location is extremely useful. The good news is, the initiative is expanding to more locations across the US. Now, if you have a house in select metro areas in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Nevada and North Carolina, you can try plugging in your address on the tool and check if it covers your location. If it does, you'll get an assessment of how many hours of usable sunlight you can get per year, how much of your roofspace can can be covered by solar panels and how much money you can save by getting a solar installation.
Project Sunroof uses the same visuals as Google Earth, and according to the Google Green blog, it looks at the orientation of your roof, the surrounding trees and buildings, as well as local weather patterns to make its assessment. You can try out Project Sunroof on its website -- if you live outside its covered areas just click "Try a Demo" to see how it works.

Ford's 'Dynamic Shuttle' tests out a competitor for Uber
While Uber just announced that it's testing out some very familiar-looking group transportation options, its next competition could come from Ford. Today at an event in Dearborn, the carmaker showed off the Dynamic Shuttle service it's testing for employees, that it says could make Ford a "mobility service provider." On its campus, the Dynamic Shuttle people request a ride via the app, which determines an optimally located van to complete the trip. Reuters quotes VP of Research Ken Washington as saying "We see this as a business we want to be in," especially in a future where people who previously needed cars could potentially opt for ride sharing service instead. Slideshow-347368
According to Ford it tries to increase occupancy and reduce the amount of single riders, while also considering weather and presence of other shuttles, while learning from traffic patterns and frequently requested destinations. Naturally, the "perfect" vehicle for the service is Ford's Transit Van, carrying six to eight passengers while including amenities like USB charging ports and WiFi.
Describing what is fundamentally a smarter bus service, the developers noted many people are willing to walk to a neutral location for easier pickups. Ford is apparently considering expanding the program beyond its corporate campus, which probably can't come a moment too soon. While researchers pulled in data from far-flung locations like Mumbai and São Paulo, they only need look around the Metro Detroit area for a region desperately in need of faster and more flexible transportation options.
How NVIDIA GRID Is Bringing GIS to Any Device, Anywhere
Life just got easier if your company is one of the 300,000 relying on Esri solutions to visually understand and analyze location data. That's because the Esri ArcGIS Desktop Virtualization Appliance with NVIDIA GRID graphics virtualization technology is here. Now, geographic information systems (GIS) applications, like Esri ArcGIS Pro, can be delivered to users in the field, on any connected device. Previously, using ArcGIS Pro had been confined to high-end workstations. With NVIDIA GRID, users anywhere get the same high-end experience, but the application stays hosted in the data center. Whether for city planning, military operations, facilities management or natural resource conservation, all sorts of organizations use ArcGIS Pro. Schools, governments and businesses use it to analyze data, create maps, visualize scenarios and share information, in both 2D and 3D environments. Comments

Raspberry Pi generates predictable SSH keys
The ultra-cheap Raspberry Pi computers have a security flaw which results in the devices generating a weak and predictable SSH key, new research suggests. The researchers say the computer's operating system, Raspbian, should be patched to avoid the flaw. "As soon as the systems start up systemd-random-seed tries to seed /dev/urandom, but /var/lib/systemd/random-seed is missing, because it hasn't been created yet", explains the developer oittaa. "/etc/rc2.d/S01regenerate_ssh_host_keys is executed, but /dev/urandom pool doesn't have that much entropy at this point and predictable SSH host keys will be created", he continues.

Apple and Microsoft's advocacy group is against encryption backdoors
Following Tim Cook's lead, the advocacy group behind Apple, Google, Microsoft and plenty of other big tech firms has come out against calls to weaken encryption, which authorities argue would make it easier to track criminals. "Weakening encryption or creating backdoors to encrypted devices and data for use by the good guys would actually create vulnerabilities to be exploited by the bad guys," said Dean Garfield, the CEO of the Information Technology Industry Counsel (ITIC), who also represents Facebook, Twitter and AOL. It "would almost certainly cause serious physical and financial harm across our society and our economy," he added. The backlash against strong encryption is particularly heated today, following the recent Paris attacks. While secure communications are generally a good thing for consumers, governments (including the US and UK) have argued for backdoors that would allow them to intercept encrypted data. Naturally, that would make life easier for intelligence agencies, but it defeats the point of having encryption at all.

Debbie Singh's life fell apart when she received a letter from her brother out of the blue. He had been sentenced to 10 years in Klong Prem prison in Bangkok for attempting to cash false travellers cheques. The severity of the sentence shocked Singh, who set of to Bangkok to support him and later to locate his Thai born son.
Appalled by the horrendous circumstances she found him in, she started to campaign to have him transferred to an Australian jail, something never achieved before.
This campaign changed her life and that of her family forever.
With great honesty and heart, You'll Never Walk Alone tells the story of Singh's great determination and strength in the face of adversity, the roller coaster ride of emotions she had to face in the six year struggle to help her brother, her ongoing charity work and the heartbreak she felt as her life was torn apart by a bitter twist in the tail.
In 2014 with the encouragement of friends and people who have read her book Debbie decided to update her sixteen year journey and love for Thailand and its people.

To Sr Joan Evans, a woman whose empathy and sense of social justice for the sick and poor in Bangkok inspired me to reach out to others.
Thank you, you gave me a priceless gift.
Never would my journey continued to this day without my friend and great mentor Jan Woodland. Walking beside you for the past six years opened my heart and eyes.
Setting out on this journey seven years ago, I could never have imagined the dizzy highs and the debilitating lows I have experienced, and I would like to thank all of those people who helped me through this time.
Firstly, I could never have achieved a thing without the unconditional love and support of my husband Richard. He stood by me through thick and thin, putting up with my emotional roller-coaster ride and giving me the freedom to travel to Thailand ten times. I promise I'll never moan again when you want to go fishing!
Our boys Sean, Michael, Kieran and Jason had it tough at times, especially when we moved house to keep financing 'Mum's crusade for John' – thanks for being the best kids in the world.
Growing up in Liverpool and coming from a large working-class family, Mum and Dad brought us up to always put family first, so Mum and Dad, thank you for that gift, and for your love and financial support. Thanks too to our Tricia, who was always there for me, as were my brothers Kevin, Pat and Barry.
Most of the time I was so consumed by my crusade for John that I lost touch with friends and family. To those who stood by me and never judged me, I thank you for that.
Thanks to Julie Dabala, a special lady who reached out and touched our lives, and to Keith who was always there to put me back together.
I have journeyed to a part of the world I never thought I'd see, experiencing the good and bad of human nature, teaching me valuable lessons I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. My heartfelt thanks go got Sister Joan Evans for sharing her world with me in Bangkok, and opening my eyes.
Yvonne Ziegler, whose never-ending love and support still continues today; you are priceless. Although at times I had a rocky relationship with Australian Embassy staff, I would like to say a big thank you to Roy Clogstoun, Warren MacIlwain, Kraisorn, Johnson and Robin Hamilton-Coates. You were my security blanket in Bangkok.
Thank to Dr John Lerwitworapong at Klong Prem hospital, for opening doors for me. Thanks also to Khun Somphon, Khun Thitiporn and Pornpitsami from Foreign Affairs in Klong Prem, for always welcoming me with open arms.
The beautiful Nat and the cranky old so-and-so Norman – without their help, Jason would not be with us today. I'm indebted to you forever.
A big thank you to Mandy Godfrey at Thai Airways, who took my call five years ago begging for excess baggage allowance. Hundred of kilos, and lot of love and support later, you are a true mate who has always been there.
There are many people who I have not personally met, but without whom life would have been unbearable at times. To Lynn, who was banging on doors for the Transfer Treaty to be ratified long before I came on the scene. You gave me strength and pushed me to open doors. Thank you.
To all the families of prisoners, in Thailand or anywhere in the world, my heart goes out to you; don't give up.
Thanks also to Bill and Pauline Johnson, who bought all the Liverpool FC gear I had, and my mate in Liverpool, Pat Miles, as well as her son John, who played for Liverpool in 2001, and the Fletcher family. Thanks to Liverpool FC and the Liverpool FC shareholders in Australia for their generous financial donations to our fundraising for Sister Joan.
And thanks to my family in Liverpool for their ongoing support and for taking the time to visit Trevor when they were on holiday in Bangkok.
Politics played a major role in this journey, and bureaucracy almost sent me loopy. Thank God for Chris Hodges at the Federal Attorney General's department. I know you will not like this bouquet but you saved me from despair many times.
Thanks to Kerin Lenard for your professionalism and humility.
Malcolm Penn here in Perth, thank you for putting up with my nagging phone calls and e-mails. And of course thanks to Brian Pontifax from the Justice Minister's office; you got us over the line. Cheers.
The journey continues to this day, so thank you to the amazing Trevor Lund, my mentor and at times psychiatrist. Thanks to Martin, Jagnathan, Peter and all the others who trusted in me and are still awaiting freedom.
A special thank you to Dr Wendy Were and Kath Mallott, who made me believe I had a story worth telling. Wendy, you inspired me from day one and without your dedication and encouragement I would have given up long ago.
One thing is for sure; you can never know from one day to the next what life has in store for you. Seven years ago, when I was merrily juggling a business, a household and a family, I would never have dreamed that in the coming years I'd be on the telephone discussing foreign affairs with the Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, or debating on-air with one of his key ministers, Alexander Downer. I never would have pictured myself comfortably sitting down to breakfast with the Governor of that infamous prison, the 'Bangkok Hilton', while outside 15 prison inmates ran a marathon that I had helped organise in order to raise money for disadvantaged children in the Bangkok slums. I never could have imagined that I would do many of the things that I've done, and lived through the incredible events that now form my memories. So many people have told me that my story is unbelievable. If I hadn't lived it, I think I would agree with them.
But what is unbelievable, really, is the capacity of humanity to treat strangers with such extremes – in the last seven years, I think I've witnessed the worst and the best of human behaviour, from utter contempt and degradation, to an awe-inspiring capacity for love, coupled with a genuine desire to make the world a better place for everyone. My journey has been harrowing at times, desperate at others, and sadly doesn't have the happy ending for which I had hoped. Still, I don't think there's much that I would have done differently, and though the ending is not what I first wanted to achieve, it has brought a lot more to my life than I could possibly have imagined.
I grew up in Liverpool, England, in a wonderfully loving family. I was the youngest of four children in the Doran household, my mother having had three boys before I was born. Kevin and Daniel were twins, but sadly Daniel died in infancy. Pat was born a year later, before I came along six years later; the only girl and the youngest member of the family. That was until the 1970's when my mother became increasingly interested in the idea of fostering. My older brothers were flying the coop – leaving home and getting married – and I don't think Mum could bear the thought of an 'empty nest'. My father was largely unaware that my mother had begun making enquiries to the Merseyside Social Services about fostering. I was privy to this secret and was so excited at the thought of having younger brothers or sisters. I was always hovering over her shoulder when she was on the phone to the agency, coaxing her on. I had been the youngest for long enough, I felt, and I didn't want to be the only one still at home either. We both began dropping hints and generally bringing up the subject whenever Dad was home from work, and it didn't take long before he cottoned on to what we were plotting and accepted with good-natured resignation that it was going to happen, with or without his blessing. I remember him saying something to the effect of; 'Do what you like – you always will anyway!' And so our family went through the screening process and within a few months, short-stay foster children who needed temporary accommodation, perhaps due to a parent being in hospital or because they were in pre-adoption proceedings, became part of our family.
John came into our family as a foster child when he was about seven years old, after a pretty rough start in life. He was a lost and very sad little boy; looking into his eyes you only saw sorrow. He had never had a father figure, and his mother, who had cerebral palsy, just wasn't capable of looking after him. The placement with us was not the first time John had been placed in care with other familles. His mother had indicated that she could no longer cope with John, so his length of stay with us was always presumed to be long term. From the moment he entered our house, it was pretty obvious that this skinny little guy had been through a lot. When the social worker brought him to us, all he had with him were the clothes he wore, which were two sizes too small, a change of underwear, and a small box of broken toys. In anticipation of his arrival, Mum had already bought new clothes, toys and shoes, so within hours of joining our family, John's transformation began. He wolfed down every bit of food that was offered to him, and it was clear that he was undernourished.
It was impossible for our hearts not to go out to him, and our immediate and extended family quickly grew to love him as one of our own. And that is how I've always thought of him – as my brother. In my mind, the distinction between blood and foster relations seems ludicrous – if you grow up in the same house and share your lives together, the bonds are the same as blood ties. To this day it annoys the life out of me when people refer to him as somehow 'outside' of the family, simply because he is not my blood brother. For us, the sense of family was always very strong. We looked out for and supported each other, and always have. For me, this was no different when it came to John. He was one of us. Simple as that.
After John came to live with us, he and I quickly became very close, particularly as I was in my mid-teens and tended to spend more time with him, baby-sitting and collecting him from school. I was the only sibling he ever had, my older brothers having left home, and in a dramatic change that saw me go from a precocious, spoilt girl to a responsible older sister, I realised I was someone he would look up to. I was no longer the centre of the universe. I recognised that I had responsibilities, and that I needed to show John, who had been brought up in an emotionally barren environment, that he was loved. I was overwhelmed at the thought of him not have the stable loving home, with two loving parents, that I had, and I was determined to fill that gap. The bond between us grew strong as a result. It didn't take long before I felt as though he had always been a part of our family. I used to love babysitting and minding John when my parents went to the Dockers Club. We'd have great fun stuffing our faces with sweets in front of the Saturday night movie, and most of the time I'd let him stay up late, until we heard the taxi bringing Mum and Dad home and would have to dash up the stairs and hop into bed.
I loved John's dry sense of humour, which he had developed very early on in life. But he would also try your patience. After years of telling us he was an Everton supporter, he finally confessed that he only said it to rub us up the wrong way. He was in fact, like all of us, a mad Liverpool fan.
From the very beginning though, John was a bit of a loner. While he was always a good laugh and we got along so well, he was a solitary soul who never shared much of himself with anybody and seemed happier keeping to himself. I guess he was used to being passed around and found it difficult to grow close to anyone for fear of losing them again. We did our best to make sure he always felt like he was one of us and that we weren't going to let him go it alone. As his older sister I made sure I was there for him, and in his way he responded in kind, as we grew as close any brother and sister could. My parents took on another foster-child, Barry, a year later, and he too helped John feel like part of a family.
But John also didn't seem to have a defined sense of personal direction and wasn't driven or passionate about anything in particular. He was a quiet kind of person, but I got the sense that there were things in his life that only he knew about. At times, he seemed to be lost in his own world.
Life was fairly uneventful, until my two older brothers got married within two months of each other, and their families made the decision to move from Liverpool to Western Australia. Kevin emigrated in 1978 with Pat following him in 1980. It wasn't long before I had followed them for my first overseas trip, enjoying two working holidays so much that I too decided to move to Australia permanently. About one year after me, in 1985, my parents, wanting to be with their children and grandchildren, decided to make the big move too. They had by this time legally adopted both John and Barry, so the whole family was soon on the move to Australia. It was a wrench for them to leave behind their extended families in Liverpool, as well as their lifestyles. Dad had worked on the docks for 30 years and Mum had a good job in a finance company, but they took the plunge, and after spending some time in Sydney with Pat, they came to West Australia to join up with Kevin and I, settling in the north-eastern goldfields town of Leinster where my brothers and I were working. My parents found work easily; Dad in the mill and Mum in the canteen there, and John was given his first job, in the mining stores.
We all loved it, except for John, who didn't adjust to his new environment easily. He was a Liverpudlian teenager who had just left school, and had been transported from a northern English city to a small mining town in the outback of Australia, with a nickel mine and a population for 1,200. He may as well have been transplanted to the moon. Unsurprisingly, he didn't feel like he fitted in. It was not long before he took off from Leinster without letting any of us know of his plans. We assumed he had headed to the nearby town of Kalgoorlie, as there were few other places to go, and waited to hear from him, but after a few days of worrying and hoping he would come back, I went to the local police station to see if I could locate him. The desk sergeant was very helpful, and sure enough, within a couple of minutes our John's name popped up on the computer screen – it seemed John had recently been caught stealing a bar of chocolate at a supermarket in the south-west town of Albany.
We were disappointed in him, but relieved to know his whereabouts. About a week or so later, Mum and I made the eighteen-hour bus trip to find him, and arrived in Albany in the early evening. We checked into a motel, then went out on to the town streets and asked a few locals where the teenagers tended to hang out. We were pointed in the direction of the local bowling alley and immediately headed there in a taxi. Would you believe; there was John, lounging around with a group of newfound friends, looking like he didn't have a care in the world? If he was surprised to see us, it didn't register on his face. The three of us went back to the motel and we managed to talk him into coming back home with us. He was a little sorry for himself, not least because in order to feed himself he had picked up some work mowing lawns, and had badly cut his hand as a result. The bandage was dirty and he looked like he'd been living rough. Little did we know that this wouldn't be the last rescue mission for our John.
We didn't stay in Leinster much longer after that as the mine was closing down, so we all moved on to Perth, and when John was about 18 he moved out of my parents' house. He didn't seem to settle anywhere after that. He spent some time living with me in Perth, working as a pushbike courier for a while, and then took off for Sydney when he was about 19. From there, he just drifted along, keeping in contact every few months but generally keeping his own life private. We knew that he had worked in a Thai restaurant in Sydney and had become quite attached to the Thai community, particularly his Thai girlfriend, and had spent time in South-East Asia, but the communication was so sporadic that most of the time we weren't entirely sure where he was. It was anybody's guess really. He knew we were there for him if he needed us, that he would always have a loving, caring family to turn to, and so we were quite happy to let him find his own path and live his own life. It didn't really matter that we didn't know where he was, once he knew where we were, and that we would always be there for him.
I settled in well, and as the years passed I got married and started my own business. My husband Richard and I had twin boys, Michael and Kieran, and around the same time my business, a fashion boutique, got up and running. I was fully immersed in my life in Australia, with my own growing family, but I was also grateful to have my parents and brothers around for support if ever I needed it. It was a pity John didn't seem to be around much any more, but I knew that the bond between us was strong enough to survive any distance and time.

Airdrie (ang: Airdrie railway station) – stacja kolejowa w miejscowości Airdrie, w hrabstwie North Lanarkshire, w Szkocji. Jest własnością First ScotRail i jest zarządzana przez East Midlands Trains (EMT). Znajduje się na North Clyde Line, 18 km na wschód od Glasgow Queen Street.

Historia
Otwarta przez Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway i wchłonięta do North British Railway, stała się częścią London and North Eastern Railway podczas ugrupowania w 1923. Następnie stacja została przekazana do Scottish Region of British Railways w 1948 roku. Po nacjonalizacji Kolei Brytyjskich była zarządzana przez Strathclyde Partnership for Transport, które przekształciło się w ScotRail, gdy wprowadzono sektoryzację kolei, przed prywatyzacją British Rail.

W ramach Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link stacja została zmodernizowana, w tym przywrócono drugi peron z możliwością obsługi 9 wagonów naprzeciwko obecnego toru nr 2, który został przedłużony i wybudowano duży parking.

Q: CAML query that includes folders in result set I'm trying to write a CAML query that executes against a specific SPList, scoped to a specific folder, recursive from that point, and returns all ListItems (which meet a criteria) and Folders.
Here's the code for the query which seems like it should work (formatted for readability):
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.Query = "
<Where>
    <Or>
        <Contains>
            <FieldRef Name=\"FileRef\" />
            <Value Type=\"Text\">foo</Value>
        </Contains>
        <Eq>
            <FieldRef Name=\"FSObjType\" />
            <Value Type=\"Lookup\">1</Value>
        </Eq>
    </Or>
</Where>";

query.ViewFields = "
<FieldRef Name=\"CustomField1\" Nullable=\"TRUE\" />
<FieldRef Name=\"CustomField2\" Nullable=\"TRUE\" />
<FieldRef Name=\"CustomField3\" Nullable=\"TRUE\" />
";

query.RowLimit = 500;
query.ViewAttributes = "Scope=\"RecursiveAll\"";
query.Folder = startingFolder;
DataTable dt = myList.GetItems(query).GetDataTable();

So - this only returns the ListItems - no folders.
If I remove the other conditions from the query, only leaving the FSObjType=1, I get a COM exception "Cannot complete this action. Please try again."
If I then remove the ViewFields, leaving only the Scope=RecursiveAll and FSObjType=1, I get an empty result set back.

A: I don't have my dev image to test against, so I might need to revise this later; but I think you could try
query.ViewAttributes = "Scope=\"Recursive\"";

Retrieving the items will allow you to use SPUtility.GetUrlDirectory(url) to get the folder path for a given item, and parse the folder hierarchy from there.

A: You could try basing your caml query on the Folder Content Type instead,
<FieldRef Name='ContentType' /><Value Type='Text'>Folder</Value>

whilst keeping the
Query.ViewAttributes = "Scope=\"RecursiveAll\"";

A: I've solved this putting:
<QueryOptions>
<IncludeAttachmentUrls>True</IncludeAttachmentUrls>
<Folder/> </QueryOptions>

As query option
I found my question about it on stack overflow:
How can I iterate recursively though a sharepoint list using webservices?

A: Everyone is close, but not quite right.
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://server/site"))
{
  SPWeb web = site.RootWeb; // See disposal guidance http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rogerla/archive/2008/10/04/updated-spsite-rootweb-dispose-guidance.aspx

  SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
  query.Query = @"
          <Where>
            <BeginsWith>
              <FieldRef Name='ContentTypeId' />
              <Value Type='ContentTypeId'>0x0120</Value>
            </BeginsWith>
          </Where>";
  query.ViewAttributes = "Scope='RecursiveAll'";
  SPList list = web.Lists[listId];
  SPListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(query);
  // Do stuff with your folders
}

First of all, using this FieldRef is wrong:
<FieldRef Name='ContentType' /><Value Type='Text'>Folder</Value>

because the folder content type can be inherited.  Therefore, you need to compare against the content type ID, like this:
<Where>
  <BeginsWith>
    <FieldRef Name='ContentTypeId' />
    <Value Type='ContentTypeId'>0x0120</Value>
  </BeginsWith>
</Where>

And then, set the view attribute Scope to RecursiveAll
<View Scope='RecursiveAll'>...</View>

That should return any item whose content type inherits from Folder (0x0120)

A:
If I remove the other conditions from the query, only leaving the FSObjType=1, I get a COM exception "Cannot complete this action. Please try again."

Did you remove the <Or> tags when you did this? If not it will not run correctly.
Regardless, that does not solve your problem. Have you tried leaving the query empty? Does it return anything?
I have been working on something similar and ran into an issue as well, perhaps it's somewhat related.

A: This still seems to an issue in SP 2010. Here's workaround code that will work for 2007 or 2010, based on this MSDN Forums post that uses the web services:
private static SPListItem RecurseIntoFolders(SPList list, SPFolder parentFolder, string fileReference)
{
    var query = new SPQuery
    {
        Query = "<Where>" +
                "<Eq><FieldRef Name='FSObjType'/><Value Type='Lookup'>1</Value></Eq>" +
                "</Where>",
        ViewFields = String.Format("<FieldRef Name='{0}' />", FileReferenceInternalFieldName),
        ViewAttributes = "Scope='RecursiveAll'",
        Folder = parentFolder
    };

    var items = list.GetItems(query);
    if (items.Count == 0)
        return null;

    foreach (SPListItem item in items)
    {
        parentFolder = item.Folder;

        // TODO: Any other checking that this is the item we want

        return item;
    }
    return RecurseIntoFolders(list, parentFolder, fileReference);
}

A: static string GetParentFolder(SPListItem itemToFind, SPFolder folder)
    {
        SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
       // query.Query =  "<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='Title'/></OrderBy>";
        query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name=\"ID\"/><Value Type=\"Integer\">"+ itemToFind.ID +"</Value></Eq></Where>";
        query.Folder = folder;
        query.ViewAttributes = "Scope=\"Recursive\"";
        SPListItemCollection items = itemToFind.ParentList.GetItems(query);
        int intpartentFolderID=0 ;
        if (items.Count > 0)
        {
        foreach (SPListItem item in items)
        {

            SPFile f = item.Web.GetFile(item.Url);

            string test11 = f.ParentFolder.Name;
            intpartentFolderID = f.ParentFolder.Item.ID;

            //string test1 = item.File.ParentFolder.Name;

             return (intpartentFolderID.ToString());

         }
        }
        return (intpartentFolderID.ToString());
    }

MTA Activates First Bus Lane Enforcement Cameras in the Bronx
Updated November 21, 2022 6:45 p.m.
Cameras Activated on the Bx12 and Bx41; Cameras Will Be Activated Soon on the Bx19
Activation is Part of Most Recent Deployment of ABLE Cameras Across Nine Routes
NYCDOT to Issue Warning Notices to Violators for First 60 Days of Implementation
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) today announced that it has activated automated bus lane enforcement cameras on two bus routes in the Bronx, the Bx12 and Bx41, and the Bx19 will be activated in the coming days. This rollout is part of a recent announcement made in October of equipping 300 additional buses with ABLE cameras across nine routes. That installation brought ABLE cameras for the first time to Queens, with the Q44; Staten Island, with the S79; and now the Bronx. ABLE cameras capture drivers violating busway and bus lane rules in real-time. The implementation of these cameras is aimed at deterring motorists from blocking bus lanes, to improve bus service and ensure a smoother commute for customers.
Upon implementation of ABLE cameras, the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) will issue warning notices to motorists for the first 60 days, in accordance with State law, to ensure drivers are informed about the program before any fines are levied. Each bus lane corridor with ABLE camera coverage has signage indicating the hours that the bus lanes are operable and advises drivers that the lanes are camera-enforced.
"We are on track to install these automated enforcement cameras across 300 buses, covering nine additional routes by the end of the year," said New York City Transit Department of Buses Senior Vice President Frank Annicaro. "When buses navigate city streets more easily, all our customers win. Automated camera enforcement is among the best ways to make that happen. These onboard cameras enable the MTA to enforce our bus lanes and is a proven and effective tool to increase compliance of the bus lanes."
"As the agency that processes ABLE violations, DOT is proud to partner with the MTA to deliver faster and more reliable bus service for Bronxites along the busiest routes in the borough," said New York City Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez. "These bus-mounted cameras will help keep bus lanes clear for the 85,000 daily bus riders traveling on Fordham Road—many of whom are essential workers. We thank the MTA for their collaboration and look forward to the continued expansion of the ABLE system."
"For many of our residents, public transportation is an essential means to getting to their destination," said Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson. "With this initiative, MTA is prioritizing safety, accessibility and speed. In choosing the Bx12 and Bx40 routes, the MTA is demonstrating its commitment to seeing these and other issues raised by our commuters addressed. I want to thank MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber and his entire team for prioritizing our Bronx bus riders and commitment to transportation equity."
"Fordham Road is one of the most highly-trafficked areas in NYC, and we must ensure residents have access to reliable public transportation," said Council Member Oswald Feliz. "For too long, buses, including the 12-bus, have moved unacceptably slow because bus lanes have been often blocked by private cars - delaying thousands of students and workers who rely on public transportation. I'm thankful that the MTA is taking steps to improve bus speeds, by creating a system that enforces rules related to bus lanes. At the same time, given that the goal of the program is to prevent motorists from entering bus lanes, I'm thankful that the first offense will serve as a warning, rather than a fine, so that motorists can be aware of the program."
"Improving the bus network must remain a priority for the MTA, particularly for our seniors and students who rely on a functional and timely system every day," said Council Member Pierina Sanchez. "With MTA's bus-mounted cameras, improving bus speeds along the Bx12 will be that much easier. Drivers who repeatedly block bus lanes must make way for the 7 million riders who rely on the Bx12 to get to school, work, medical appointments and more each year. From Inwood to the East Bronx, through my district, ABLE cameras will clear bus lanes so MTA buses can efficiently connect our neighborhoods across the boroughs."
With the activation of the two Bronx routes, the MTA will have 243 buses equipped with ABLE cameras on 11 routes across Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, Staten Island and Queens. The remaining routes will be rolled out by the end of the year as follows: Q43, Bx19, B62, B25, and B42. Locations were determined to maximize the length of bus lanes covered, balance distribution between boroughs, address some of the newer bus lanes, and incorporate input from the MTA and NYCDOT on known locations with issues.
ABLE camera systems capture license plate information, photos and videos, together with location and timestamp information. This information is then transmitted to NYCDOT for review and processing. The program is administered in partnership with NYCDOT and the New York City Department of Finance.


Robotics and advanced automation continue to outperform humans in the workplace, and technology workers expect to see increased job losses, according to the second annual national study from edtech firm MindEdge/Skye Learning. More than half of U.S. managers (58 percent) say that robots perform "higher quality work" than humans and almost half (49 percent) expect that automation will lead to more job losses in the next five years.
But the survey also provides encouraging news for workers looking for ways to protect their jobs against encroaching automation. Managers identify an array of "soft skills" – including creativity, communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking – that clearly differentiate humans from robots in the workplace, and they see in-person and online training as the best ways for workers to gain these skills to "future-proof" their careers.
Conducted by Qualtrics, MindEdge/Skye Learning's second annual Robomageddon: Future of Work Study probed the attitudes of 1,000 U.S. managers (or higher) about the rise of robots and artificial intelligence in the workplace, and which skills will future-proof workers' careers as automation takes root across industries.
Close to half (41 percent) of American businesses have adopted robotics or advanced automation in the last five years, an 8 percent increase from 2018. This figure is substantially higher in the technology sector (74 percent). And automation has led to job losses for workers, especially in the technology sector; roughly one in four (26 percent) technology managers at firms that have adopted robotics or AI report that "many workers" at their companies have lost jobs due to the new technology.
But the same proportion (26 percent) of technology managers say that robotics and automation have created jobs within their organization. This finding suggests that the use and scale of robotics and automation is still evolving across the technology industry, as it experiences a mix of job loss and job creation.
As robotics and automation increase across U.S. businesses, more than half of U.S. managers (58 percent) feel that the new technology performs higher quality work than humans. Even as many businesses have turned to robotics or advanced automation as a way to reduce costs, 65 percent of U.S. managers would opt to keep the same level of robots and automation even if cost benefits weren't realized.
Looking to the future, about a quarter of the managers in the survey expect to see "many workers" at their companies lose their jobs to automation in the next one to five years. This sentiment is particular high in the retail sector (37 percent), and markedly lower in the healthcare sector (15 percent).
Another 25 percent of managers expect to see modest job losses at their companies due to automation, and 27 percent expect that there will be no net job loss. Only 10 percent think that a significant number of new jobs will be created.
As U.S. managers increasingly see the value in robots and their ability to produce high quality work, workers' concerns about their own job security have not yet reached a critical level. Only a third (33 percent) of managers say their employees are "very" or "fairly" concerned about being displaced by technology in the next year, and just 38 percent say their workers are worried about losing their jobs in the next five years.
"As robotics and automation continue to reshape the American workplace, upskilling and continuous learning have never been more valuable," said Jefferson Flanders, CEO of MindEdge Learning. "While the rise of AI may not render certain roles or skill sets entirely obsolete, we have already seen its impact in the workforce. Business leaders must continue to prioritize training to equip their workforce for tomorrow."
While almost one-third (29 percent) of U.S. managers worry that robots could someday do their job, the majority of managers (52 percent) feel their work is immune to the impact of technology and automation. Among those "immune managers," fully 50 percent of managers say they feel irreplaceable because robots cannot emulate the human interaction and empathy that their job requires.
Mirroring the 2018 survey results, one-third (31 percent) of managers continue to report that their jobs are immune to the impact of technology because they are specialized and require training, human intelligence and critical thinking.
American companies continue to prioritize training their workforce for the future, and 68 percent of managers report that internal, in-person training is the most effective method to equip employees for the changing workforce. In addition to in-person training, more than one-third (36 percent) of managers say that online courses are the best tool to prepare employees for the future of work.
Despite the impact of automation on technology careers, 89 percent of technology workers say they are optimistic about their career advancement because of the value of continuous learning. Fully 69 percent of technology workers find it "very valuable" to engage in continuous learning to gain new skills for the evolving workforce.
"It's clear that our workforce is in flux, as more than half of today's managers see their jobs as being immune to robotic advancement, yet they also report both hard and soft skills lacking at their company," said Sandra Slager, president of Skye Learning and chief operating officer of MindEdge Learning. "It's important for managers to harness and cultivate these skills – such as creative thinking, communication and complex problem solving – that separate humans from robots."
The survey results follow the launch of Skye Learning's new robotics course earlier this month. MindEdge Learning offers courses in robotics and artificial intelligence, including new courses in "Intro to Robotics," examining the differences between machine learning, visual recognition and different applications across diverse industries.
MindEdge/Skye Learning's Robomageddon: Future of Work Study was conducted online the first week of February, 2019. The sample included 1,047 U.S. residents employed as manager or a higher job title, working at organizations with 20 or more employees. Respondents were at least 18 years of age.

Совет национальной безопасности (, СНБ) — консультативный орган, состоящий из начальника штаба, отдельных членов совета министров и президента Турции. Как и аналогичные структуры в других странах, СНБ Турции занимается разработкой политики национальной безопасности.

Политика национальной безопасности, разработанная СНБ, фиксируется в документе о политике национальной безопасности () более известном как «Красная книга». Красную книгу иногда называют самым секретным документом Турции, изменения в неё вносятся один или два раза за десять лет.

История
СНБ Турции был создан после государственного переворота, произошедшего в 1960 году. В конституцию, принятую в 1961 году, также было внесено упоминание о равноправном положении СНБ и совета министров.

Роль, отводившаяся СНБ, возросла в конституции 1982 года, которая была принята военной хунтой после переворота, совершённого в 1980 году. Рекомендации СНБ получили больший вес, чем мнение совета министров. Также за счёт гражданских специалистов было увеличено количество мест в СНБ, занимаемых военными.

Роль военных в турецкой политике
СНБ зачастую рассматривается как институционализация влияния военных на политику. С 1923 года, когда Ататюрк создал современное секулярное турецкое государство, турецкие военные считали себя защитниками кемализма, официальной государственной идеологии, хотя сам Ататюрк был сторонником отстранения военных от политики.

В то же время отношение гражданского правительства к военным было неоднозначным, оно то пыталось сократить их влияние, то наоборот усилить.

Следствием всего этого стали четыре попытки государственного переворота со стороны военных — в 1960, 1971, 1980 и 1997 годах. Военные обладают большим весом в турецком обществе, согласно опросам общественного мнения, армия является государственным институтом, которому доверяют большинство граждан Турции.

Реформирование
Во время подготовки переговоров Турции с ЕС, о возможном вступлении в Евросоюз, чтобы соответствовать Копенгагенским критериям Турция приняла ряд шагов по увеличения гражданского контроля над вооружёнными силами. 23 июля 2003 года Великое национальное собрание приняло седьмой пакет реформ, целью которого было ограничение роли военных, посредством реформы СНБ. По мнению Financial Times, эти реформы являлись ничем иным, как «бесшумной революцией».

Во-первых было подчёркнуто, что СНБ представляет собой лишь совещательный орган. Седьмой пакет реформ позволил назначать генеральным секретарём СНБ гражданское лицо, что и произошло впервые в августе 2004 года. Также были урезаны другие функции СНБ.

Несмотря на эти реформы, Еврокомиссия в 2004 году заявила, что «хотя процесс приведения баланса между гражданскими и военными в соответствие с нормами, принятыми в ЕС, и осуществляется, вооружённые силы Турции всё ещё обладают значительным влиянием благодаря ряду неформальных каналов». В отчёте комиссии, выпущенном через год, также заявлялось, что «военные всё ещё оказывают значительное влияние путём осуществления публичных заявлений, касающихся политического развития и политики правительства».

У СНБ существовало управление по связям с общественностью, но в ходе реформ оно было распущено.

LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE, CA – With the holidays upon us and this opportunity and ability to give to those less fortunate even more welcomed than ever, the Allen Lund Company is once again launching its support of Navidad en el Barrio, a program that the team has supported since 2004 and continues to support today.
"It's so wonderful to be able to provide fresh produce and meals to these families during the Christmas season," Nora Trueblood, Director of Marketing for the Allen Lund Company, stated. "The shippers and carriers we work with year-round are so generous."
To give you a little background on the incredible program, Navidad en el Barrio accepts and utilizes donations to assemble food baskets containing chicken, tortillas, cheese, canned goods, drinks, and various produce items to offer individuals a healthy holiday meal.
Through the efforts of Navidad en el Barrio, which was established in 1972 by former NFL kicker Danny Villanueva, over 75,000 people are served annually.
"My mom and dad instilled in us the value and importance of giving back, and we as a company completely embrace that concept," Kenny Lund, Vice President of ALC said. "Navidad en el Barrio is such an important effort and one that we are able to actually see the impact by participating in the distribution of the dinners and meeting the grateful families."
With long time supporters and new companies joining the cause, ALC has started the process of organizing donations of perishable products and food items from growers/shippers for the annual holiday food baskets.
"We are honored to be apart of this program again in 2017. For the fourth year in a row, Dayka & Hackett will be providing approximately 10,000 lbs. of grapes to the Navidad en el Barrio event," Mike Weaver, Table Grape Commodity Manager of Dayka & Hackett, shares with me. "It is a small gesture on our part to help spread holiday cheer."
Since 1972, Navidad en el Barrio has gathered and distributed food during the Christmas holiday to serve mostly Hispanic communities of Southern California, with the mission of providing a Christmas meal to families who very often feel marginalized and forgotten by our society, Nora adds. Navidad en el Barrio works with agencies throughout Southern California, from Ventura to San Diego, and including Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange County.
With so many on board with the cause, Joe Esta, Vice President of Wada Farms shares in the sentiment that so many do at this time of year—the idea that when you have more than you need, build a longer table not a higher fence.
"Wada farms has many great partners in the produce industry, and with them we donate to several holiday food drives. We recognize our ability to give to those in need, and for us, it is a year-round commitment," Joe tells me. "Navidad en el Barrio and others like the 'No Hunger Holiday' in St. Charles, Missouri, which we donate to through Ole Tyme Produce, and the program Feeding America, are just a few of the ways our industry can address these causes."
The logistics and transportation of the donations made during the week of December 11-15, 2017, will be provided by the Allen Lund Company with meals being delivered on Saturday, December 16th. Donations are delivered via ALC to a warehouse location in Los Angeles and then delivered to agencies throughout Southern California for distribution to the most in-need families.
ALC is continuing to reach out to shippers in the Western U.S. that ship items which can be used to complete a meal for these families' Christmas dinner. Should your team choose to participate, your company logo will be featured in any promotional materials that are developed, as well as placed on the program's website, so rally around this special initiative and join the Allen Lund Company in giving back this holiday season.

Houseplants are sold in many different places, such as at garden centers, florists, greenhouses, nurseries, and home improvement centers. Plant quality and guarantees, along with price are important factors to consider when making a purchase.
There are several things to look for when shopping for a healthy plant. Begin by inspecting the leaves carefully. They should have the right color, shape and size and be free of blemishes or brown edges. Also, the lower leaves should not be pale or yellow. A good specimen should not look leggy or sparse. It should have a good, balanced shape and not be top heavy.
Look closely at stems and leaves for any signs of insects or disease. Finally, look at the pot and soil. If roots are growing through the drainage holes or are seen at the soil surface, the plant has probably outgrown its pot. If you choose this plant, special care will be needed when transplanting into a larger pot. If you are unfamiliar with the plant, a proper label will be important too.
It is a good idea to keep a new plant away from other plants for 2-3 weeks. This will protect the other plants from possible attack by any insects or disease. Most houseplants are tropical or sub-tropical in origin. Often, they have been grown in greenhouse conditions or even outdoors in southern climates. If plants have not been acclimatized, they may go through a period of shock.
Houseplants will often drop some leaves or they may yellow, when initially brought into a new environment. This adjustment period should not last more than a few weeks. During this time, keep the plant relatively cool to help minimize water loss through its leaves. Check the soil regularly to determine when to water. Also, do not fertilize at this time, since the plant is adjusting to lower light and humidity conditions.

A BRIGHTER PATH TO SUCCESSFUL THERAPY
Interactive avatars are now on the menu to assist therapists and parents of children on the autism spectrum have better therapy sessions. They are delivered via online video call sessions by live animation pioneer Gary Jesch of Carson City, NV.
Jesch introduced his avatar-assistants about three years ago at a National Autism Society conference and has been working to perfect the experiences that benefit children who may have trouble interacting with adults in typical settings.
It seems that his avatars – cartoon fish, puppies, dinosaurs and people – are able to reduce anxiety and so those kiddos can ease into their interventions with less stress and more learning.
"We've seen some amazing changes take place in a few weeks," Jesch says. He's worked with SLP therapists, ABA specialists, modeling and social stories professionals in clinic and classroom settings in his local area, with consistently positive results.
"I remember reading articles by Dr. Rosalind Picard in the '90s, about how, one day, an avatar technology would be used to help those on the spectrum. When I managed to make it possible, it began a journey that I will never forget. Seeing how I've helped make a difference is so rewarding," Jesch commented.
Jesch (shown above at the controls) has created "Avatar Adventures," which are weekly, 30-minute sessions where he connects with a young person and their parent or therapist via a remote conference call. On his end, he is controlling one of his animated "Digital Puppets," and on the other end, a child with autism is observing and interacting as best as he or she can, always under the guidance of another adult, in the family home or office.
Prior to the session, Jesch meets with the parent and the therapist to discuss the child's situation, goals for intervention and likes/dislikes, so he has a background going into the call. Together, they choose the most appropriate character and plan the session to incorporate additional graphics and elements that will hold the child's attention.
If the parent wishes, the sessions can be recorded and viewed at a later date. The therapist can also observe them for measurements of change and improvement. They can be counted and measured under the criteria for the method of intervention used, as in the case of an SLP treatment.
Jesch is offering Avatar Adventure sessions for $30 each or a 4-week package for $99. He is available for questions by contacting him via his website at https://invirtua.com
The Invirtua 3D Digital Puppeteer technology is currently being studied at Brigham Young University, and is now progressing through the peer-review stage, by Dr. Ryan Kellems, Special Education Program Coordinator – Counseling Psychology & Special Education, Brigham Young University. It has also been used at the Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology at the University of Nevada-Reno under Dr. Debra Vigil.
For more information, contact Jesch via the Contact Us page on this website.

Dezeen promotion: architect Michele De Lucchi will turn Poltrona Frau's flagship store into a futuristic workplace during Milan design week.
Called Connecting Experiences, De Lucchi's takeover of Italian furniture brand Poltrona Frau's Milan flagship store will see the space turned into a prototype of his Earth Stations.
The architect will divide the space into several "nodes", each one encouraging visitors to engage in work, leisure or communication. An exhibition including renders and models that will introduce visitors to the Earth Stations, will also be placed in the store.
De Lucchi, an Italian architect, has spent two years researching how the evolution of technology will help humans design their work environments in the future to allow them to get closer to nature.
"Earth Stations are active architectures that form networks that are easy to reach and are built in places that form or regenerate urban and infrastructural nodes," said De Lucchi.
The space will be based on two concept Earth Stations he developed called Mountain Station and Crown Station.
Mountain Station is designed as a conference space that could perch on top of a mountain, for city-based workers to retreat to find inspiration. Accessible by cable car, De Lucchi imagined an organic form wrapped in a breathable membrane that would protect visitors from extreme weather conditions.
Suspended over a natural gorge or canyon, Crown Station was designed as a double bridge with a crenelated profile that would hold events and education spaces. Its shape and setting is designed to both symbolise and encourage the connection of ideas.
Connecting Experiences will be the first time that De Lucchi's Earth Stations research is presented to the public.
Poltrona Frau's store occupies a former palazzo, and in its interior courtyard De Lucchi is building a pavilion as the base for the Earth Station. A wooden double skin will mark the transitions between different zones, and trees and plants will be dotted around the space to encourage visitors to connect with nature.
Poltrona Frau, which has been collaborating with De Lucchi for seven years, has selected a range of its furniture designs to complement the Connecting Experiences installation.
The Norman Foster-designed Cove lounge chair will be used for the work zones, along with Lievore – Altherr – Park's office system Trust and the Fred desk by Roberto Lazzeroni.
A large co-working space will have free Wi-Fi and Apple products such as MacBook Air's and iPad Pro's for people to use, along with a reading room and a coffee bar with a soundtrack curated by Rolling Stone magazine.
Lectures and workshops on topics ranging from sustainability to privacy, from speakers such as Roberto Palomba, Alberto Lievore and Pietro Gottardi, will be held in the learning area.
There will also be a cinema screening design-related films and documentaries, and an exhibition of De Lucchi work that will include models and renderings.
The leisure areas will be furnished with Renzo Frau's 1912 design for the Chester One sofa, the Let it Be sectional from Ludovica and Roberto Palomba, and Marie Massaud's modular Gran Torino seating.
Connecting Experiences will be at via Manzoni 30, Milan from 8 April. Find out more about Poltrona Frau on the brand's website.

The Israeli Kibbutz Movement has formally joined the search for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders' Kibbutz he worked on back in the '60's.
To date, no reporter has been able to pin down which kibbutz Sanders volunteered at for almost 6 months in 1964, after his graduation from the University of Chicago.
On Thursday, the movement put out a plea on its Facebook page, urging readers and elder Israelis help locate the kibbutz.
