Alaska will soon be switching to a new data recording system to better track crime in the state, although some lawmakers are worried about the price tag involved.
Starting in 2021, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will only be using data collected through a data system called the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS). During a presentation to an informal gathering of state representatives Tuesday, DPS Division of Statewide Services Bureau Chief Kathryn Monfreda said NIBRS would result in a wider array of crime and demographic statistics.
"It will allow you representatives to have a much more robust understanding and information available to you for making decisions," Monfreda said.
The current system in place, called the Summary Reporting System (SRS), is out of date, Monfreda said. The SRS only records 10 types of crimes, as opposed to NIBRS recording 24. In instances where there are multiple offenses, SRS only records the most serious offense. This results in lesser crimes not being included in year-end statistics and thus gives decision makers an incomplete view of which crimes are being committed.
Monfreda's presentation gave an example of a crime where someone is beaten, robbed, their car is stolen and their credit card is used. The state's current crime-reporting system would count that as a strong-arm robbery of a residence with the vehicle and the cards listed as stolen property. The NIBRS system would count this as robbery, motor vehicle theft and fraud. It would also include more specific demographic data on the victim and offender, according to Monfreda's presentation.
More data can lead to more informed decisions, Monfreda said.
"Over the years, (the SRS has) been determined to not be very good for very in-depth statistics for comparisons to other states or to (provide) information to committees on victims or suspects," Monfreda said.
The FBI didn't require states to begin using NIBRS but will limit grants to states that don't change over, Monfreda said. In 2015, DPS opted in for Alaska and the FBI gave the state a grant in 2017 to start changing its systems, Monfreda said.
The Alaska State Troopers will transition fully over to using NIBRS by Jan. 1, 2021, Monfreda said. The DPS is working with local departments to try to help them transition to using the technology, Monfreda said.
More than 20 representatives were in a conference room at the Alaska State Capitol to listen to Monfreda, who was alongside DPS Commissioner Amanda Price.
The main concerns representatives had were related to how much this change would cost. Monfreda didn't have a specific answer for how much it would cost for departments, but in her presentation she said some departments will need to upgrade or purchase new records management systems to transition to NIBRS.
Rep. Tammie Wilson, R-North Pole, was particularly vocal during Tuesday's hearing about the unknown costs surrounding the transition. She asked why the state is doing this if the cost is so unknown. Monfreda said DPS is communicating with agencies to try and figure it out. She said agencies will make their own decisions about how to reallocate resources if necessary.
"All the agencies we're aware of and have been talking to since this first came up are in the process of converting as well as they can," Monfreda said.
Juneau Police Department Lt. Krag Campbell said Wednesday that JPD has to update its records management system, which he called "a fairly big project." He did not have an estimate for how much that might cost.
The ball is already rolling on these changes, Monfreda said in an interview after the presentation. On Jan. 22, she said, Alaska State Troopers made changes to its computer systems so Troopers who are entering crimes do so in the same way they will when the system permanently switches over to NIBRS.
Monfreda said the state is getting some federal funding for the transition. Other states including Nevada have also reported getting federal assistance. In a presentation to members of the Nevada Legislature in late 2018, the Nevada Department of Public Safety reported that the federal Office of Criminal Justice Assistance (OJCA) might also help out with funding.
According to a post from law enforcement officials from Michigan and Virginia through the National Police Foundation, some states such as Texas have provided funding for local agencies to transition. The Bureau of Justice Assistance also offers funding, according to the post.

We created an exciting stage of harmony at the James Corden show.
BTS appeared on the US CBS popular talk show "The Late Show with James Corden" (hereinafter referred to as "James Corden Show") on the afternoon of the 8th (local time) and performed "Butter."
Following the performance of "Permission to Dance" on the 23rd of last month, the ending of the 1,000th anniversary broadcast of the "James Corden Show" was splendidly decorated.
BTS appeared singing "Butter" in the audience. The seven members, who naturally harmonized with the excited audience, clapping their hands and shaking their bodies lightly to the rhythm, moved to the stage and performed in earnest.
With the studio lighting minimizing and the stage set using the LED floor that moves to the melody shining brilliantly, BTS created an atmosphere like a "mini concert" with the audience. In particular, in the middle of the song, each member performed a unique performance, showing seven different charms.
BTS will also appear in the corner CROSSWALK CONCERT of James Corden Show on the 16th. James Corden Show announced on its official SNS earlier, "Not only will BTS perform a tremendous 'Butter' performance to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of the 'James Corden Show' but also BTS Crosswalk' will be broadcast on the 16th."
Meanwhile, BTS won the "Song of the Year" category at the "2021 People's Choice Awards 2021" held on the 7th for "Butter," and also won the top prize in the "Song of the Year 50" selected by U.S. music media Consequence of Sound. In addition, leading media outlets such as Rolling Stone, British music media NME, and American magazine Esquire Magazine selected "Butter" as one of the best songs in 2021, introducing it as a song that entertained many people this year.

Popotla, también barrio de Popotla, es una de las colonias de la alcaldía Miguel Hidalgo de la Ciudad de México. Su trazo original corresponde a un pequeño pueblo de origen prehispánico, el cual fue absorbido por la ciudad a mediados del siglo XX debido al crecimiento de la mancha urbana hacia el poniente del Valle de México. Destaca por conservar algunos ejemplos de arquitectura habitacional y de veraneo de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, así como los restos de un ahuehuete en donde según la tradición, Hernán Cortés lamentó la derrota de su ejército en 1520 después de la batalla de la Noche Triste.

Ubicación y nomenclatura

Los límites de ésta colonia con respecto a las demás así como a las calles y avenidas son: al norte con la Avenida Ferrocarriles Nacionales y la zona industrial de San Salvador Xochimanca, al sur con la avenida Felipe Carrillo Puerto y la Colonia Anáhuac, al este con la colonia y el Casco de Santo Tomás, el deportivo Plan Sexenal y la avenida Plan de Guadalupe, y al oeste avenida Cuitláhuac, Mar Tirreno y la colonia Tacuba. Las principales vialidades que atraviesan la colonia son la calzada México Tacuba, la Avenida Cuitláhuac y la Avenida Mariano Escobedo.

Las calles de esta colonia reciben nombres de mares conocidos en la antigüedad, como Mar Mediterráneo, Mar Negro, Mar de Mármara, etcétera.

Etimología

Es un topónimo náhuatl compuesto por las palabras popotl (carrizo hueco o popote) y el sufijo -tlan (lugar entre), por lo tanto significa "entre carrizos huecos", o "entre popotes".

Historia
Cercano al poblado ribereño de Tlacopan, Popotla se conoció por ser una zona boscosa, principalmente compuesta por tulares (bosque de ahuehuetes). Durante la Conquista de México, fue en este lugar donde la tradición cuenta que Hernán Cortés, al salir de la ciudad de Tenochtitlán con sus tropas por la Calzada México-Tacuba y observar la derrota sufrida por su ejército a manos de los mexicas. A este hecho le conoció tiempo después como la Noche triste. Junto al ahuehuete al que la tradición le atribuye ese suceso se levantó una pequeña ermita dedicada a San Esteban, que fue demolida en 1900 debido al deterioro en el que se encontraba, y en su lugar se construyó la parroquia de la Virgen del pronto socorro.

Durante el periodo virreinal, la zona se caracterizó por ser productora de hortalizas para la ciudad, templos como San Antonio y Merced de las huertas llevan en su nombre esta actividad Popotla se conformó como pequeño poblado de unos cuantos caseríos hasta finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del siglo XX, siendo en este último periodo cuando a lo largo de la entonces calzada México Tacuba se empezaron a levantar grandes casas de estilo ecléctico y victoriano, las cuales fueron ocupadas como villas de campo o quintas campestres por algunas familias acomodadas de la capital, dadas las cercanías del lugar a los pueblos de la entonces Villa Azcapotzalco y Tacuba.

En 1908 comenzó la construcción del complejo de la escuela normal de profesores, encargada al Teniente Coronel de Ingenieros Porfirio Díaz, hijo del presidente Díaz Fue inaugurado en septiembre de 1910 y permaneció como tal hasta 1918 cuando fue transformado en la nueva sede del Heroico Colegio Militar.

La gentrificación de la colonia

A pesar del valor histórico y artístico de su arquitectura, la colonia ha sufrido modificaciones constantes debido al pésimo y mal organizado proceso de gentrificación que ocasiona el mercado inmobiliario, ocasionando que la zona pierda su esencia, su historia y su incalculable riqueza. A pesar de ello, la colonia conserva una gran parte de sus antiguas casonas y edificios.

Transporte

En las inmediaciones del barrio se encuentran dos estaciones del Metro de la Ciudad de México. Estas son Popotla y Cuitlahuac, esta última se ubica a cien metros del cruce de la Calzada México-Tacuba y la Avenida General Mariano Escobedo. Ambas corresponden a las línea

Algunos de los atractivos de la colonia Popotla han sido tema de interés para muchos escritores, intelectuales e historiadores; en efecto, tal es el caso del poeta Robert Frost. En el capítulo Poesía en lengua inglesa del programa de televisión Conversaciones con Octavio Paz (producido por Grupo Televisa) el premio Nobel de literatura comentó una anécdota acerca de una entrevista que le hizo a Frost, en el año de 1944:

En la cultura popular

Las calles, lugares y casonas emblemáticas de la colonia Popotla han sido escenario y objeto de inspiración para diversos productores de cine (tanto los de la llamada Época de Oro del Cine mexicano como los de las etapas posteriores), productores de televisión, escritores, pintores, compositores, entre otros.

Pintura

 El pintor paisajista José María Velasco pintó la obra titulada El Ahuehuete de la noche triste, la cual data de 1885. En ella se puede observar el icónico árbol donde supuestamente lloró Hernán Cortés su derrota; aparece frente a la ermita dedicada a San Esteban.

 El acuarelista boliviano Ricardo Pérez Alcalá pintó, en 1985, la obra titulada La Tortillería, siendo ganadora del Premio Nacional de la Acuarela Mexicana. El pintor se inspiró en una tortillería ubicada entre las calles Mar Célebes y Mar Mediterráneo. Dicha obra se puede observar en el Museo Nacional de la Acuarela.

Televisión

 Algunas de las casonas de la colonia (sobre todo las ubicadas en la calles Mar Mediterráneo y Mar Egeo) han sido constante escenario para la ambientación de telenovelas y series producidas por la cadena Televisa.

Literatura

 El primer poema que escribió Robert Frost, cuando era niño, estuvo inspirado en el episodio histórico de La Noche Triste.
 Carlos Trejo escribió en 1995 la novela de terror Cañitas. La historia del libro está inspirada en la experiencia paranormal que el propio Trejo vivió junto con su esposa Sofía Cacheux en su casona, ubicada en la calle de Cañitas No.51.

Bournemouth boss unimpressed by goalkeeper's Rangers trip ahead of Leicester City clash
Eddie Howe's side travel to Leicester City on Saturday
Leicestershire Live
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe will seek an explanation from goalkeeper Artur Boruc after he was pictured among the away fans at Rangers' Europa League clash with former club Legia Warsaw.
The 39-year-old former Celtic player was photographed holding a megaphone in the crowd at Ibrox on Thursday evening, and his presence in Glasgow came as a surprise to his manager.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's Premier League trip to Leicester , Howe said: "I only knew about it very late last night, so it's not really ideal.
"It's something I will speak to Artur about.

"I don't know too much about the details of it, I just knew he was there. It's something I'll be discussing with Artur today."
Poland international Boruc, who made more than 200 appearances for Rangers' arch-rivals in a five-year stay at Celtic Park after signing from Legia, joined the Cherries in September 2014 on an initial loan deal and has played 129 times for the club.
He has been an unused substitute for the first three league games of the new season with Aaron Ramsdale the current number one and Mark Travers having replaced him for Wednesday night's penalty shoot-out victory over Forest Green in the Carabao Cup.
Boruc's trip north of the border ultimately ended in disappointment as Alfredo Morelos' late strike secured a 1-0 win for the home side.

HomeSportsIndia's second lowest total against Bangladesh, Virat Kohli's lowest average in ODIs in a calendar year
India's second lowest total against Bangladesh, Virat Kohli's lowest average in ODIs in a calendar year
Mehidy Hasan Miraz stunned India as he smashed an unbeaten 38 off 39 and shared a 51-run partnership with Mustafizur Rahman for the tenth wicket to seal a sensational victory for his side in the first of the three-match ODI series in Mirpur. All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan was also the star performer for the hosts for his spell of 5/36 with two maidens in ten overs. Chasing a target of just 187, both the Bangladeshi players held their nerve at the end to win the opener by a margin of one wicket and take a 1-0 lead in the series.
Speaking of how the match panned out, skipper Litton Das won the toss and opted to field first. India captain Rohit Sharma amassed 27 while Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli fell for single-digit scores. Man-in-form in the 50 overs format, Shreyas Iyer managed to score 24 off 39. India's innings was all about wicketkeeper batter KL Rahul, who struck 73 off 70 which included five fours and four maximums as his side reached a total of 186 in 41.2 overs. Apart from Shakib, pacer Ebadon Hossain also snared four scalps for 47 runs in his 8.2 over spell.
In reply, the home side got off to a disastrous start as they lost Najmul Hossain Shanto on the very first delivery of the innings. Skipper Das mustered 41 while Shakib contributed with his knock of 29. Barring Shahbaz Ahmed, all other Indian bowlers kept picking up wickets with Bangladesh struggling at 136/9. Miraz and Rahman then joined hands to script a memorable win for their side. Mohammed Siraj was the pick of the Indian bowlers for his spell of 3/32 in 10 overs. For his match-winning innings and bowling performance of 1/43 which included a maiden and the crucial scalp of Dhawan in nine overs, Miraz won the Player of the Match award.
Meanwhile, here are some of the important stats and numbers from the 1st ODI between Bangladesh and India:
5/36 – Shakib Al Hasan recorded the best figures of 5/36 by a left-arm spinner against India in ODIs. Previously, England's Ashley Giles took 5/57 in Delhi in the year 2002.
290 – Shakib has now taken the seventh most wickets (290) by a spinner in ODIs. He surpassed Saqlain Mushtaq's tally of 288 scalps. Muthiah Muralitharan (534), Shahid Afridi (395), Anil Kumble (337), Sanath Jayasuriya (323), Daniel Vettori (305), and Shane Warne (293) are in the top six positions.
20.44 – Virat Kohli has scored 184 runs in nine innings at an average of just 20.44 in ODIs in 2022. His average is the lowest in a calendar year with the previous lowest being 31.80 in his debut year.
186 – India registered their second-lowest total of 186 against Bangladesh in one-day internationals. Previously, they got bundled out for just 105 in a 41-over per-side contest in Mirpur in 2014.
51* – Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mustafizur Rahman recorded the fourth-highest tenth-wicket partnership of 51* in a successful ODI run chase. The top three stands are between Deryck Murray and Andy Roberts (64*) against Pakistan in 1975, James Faulkner and Clint McKay (57*) against England in 2014, and Thomas Odoyo and Hiren Varaiya (55*) against Ireland in 2007.
127 – With 127 wickets at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka, Shakib is now the leading wicket-taker in ODIs at a particular venue. He went past Wasim Akram, who took 122 scalps in Sharjah.
250 – Kuldeep Sen became the 250th player to represent India in one-day internationals.
6 – The Bangla Tigers won just their sixth out of the 37 ODIs against India.
2 – Ebadot Hossain became the second Bangladeshi player to get out hit-wicket in the ODI format. Sheikh Salahuddin also got out in the same fashion against Kenya in the year 1997.
58.44 – KL Rahul has amassed 526 runs in 11 innings at a solid average of 58.44 with one century and five fifties at no. five in the ODI format.
6 – Rohit is now the sixth-highest run-scorer with 9403 runs for India in ODIs. He surpassed Mohammad Azharuddin's tally of 9378 runs. Sachin Tendulkar (18426), Virat Kohli (12353), Sourav Ganguly (11221), Rahul Dravid (10768), and MS Dhoni (10599) are in the top five spots.
3 – For the third time, Bangladesh scripted a one-wicket victory in the 50-overs format. Their previous both wins came against Zimbabwe in Harare and Chattogram in 2007 and 2009 respectively.
2 – Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mustafizur Rahman registered the second-highest tenth-wicket partnership of 51* for the Bangla Tigers in the format. Khaled Mashud and Tapash Baisya shared an unbeatean 54-run stand against Sri Lanka in 2005.
3 – Shakib also scripted his third-best figures of 5/36 in 219 ODI innings. His spells of 5/29 against Afghanistan in 2019 and 5/30 against Zimbabwe in 2021 are in the top two spots.
944 – Rohit has managed to score only 944 runs in 39 innings at an average of 26.22 with zero centuries and five fifties in international cricket in 2022.

A: Check the documentation here:
FirebaseUI-Readme
They have changed the way the FirebaseRecyclerAdapter is setup.  Now you need to use FirebaseRecyclerOptions to configure your FirebaseRecyclerAdapter

A: You are getting that error because you are passing to the constructor a wrong number and a wrong type of arguments. In order to make it work, you need to pass as an argument a FirebaseRecyclerOptions object. A constructor with 4 arguments was needed in an earlier version of the Firebase-UI library. See here official documentation.
If you are interested, this is how you can retrieve data from a Firebase Realtime database and display it in a RecyclerView using FirebaseRecyclerAdapter.

A: Remove this Comma from your code in your onStart method
 FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<Blog,BlogViewHolder,>firebaseRecyclerAdapter
                                            ^

A: make adapter like below code ..
public class RecyclerViewAdpater extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerViewAdpater.ItemViewHolder> {
List<String> mStringList = new ArrayList<>();// hear you can pass any pojo class object.
Context mContext;

public RecyclerViewAdpater(List<String> mStringList, Context mContext) {
    this.mStringList = mStringList;
    this.mContext = mContext;
}

@Override
public ItemViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.activity_main, parent, false);
    return new ItemViewHolder(view);
}

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ItemViewHolder holder, int position) {
    // below code handle click event on recycler view item.
    String data=mStringList.get(position);
    holder.textView.setText(data);
}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return mStringList.size();
}

public class ItemViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
    TextView textView;

    public ItemViewHolder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
    }
}
}

then after in main activity getting your data then after call below code..
        RecyclerViewAdpater recyclerViewAdpater=new RecyclerViewAdpater(this,stringlist);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
    recyclerView.setAdapter(recyclerViewAdpater);
    recyclerViewAdpater.notifyDataSetChanged();

make sure passing your list of data is not empty.

Effective communication is important for every relationship. Nowhere is that more true than in a relationship with a loved one who is struggling with a life-controlling problem. But communication in that kind of a relationship can be especially challenging.
Effective communication with a person enslaved by a stronghold can be difficult because they are likely blinded to the reality of their condition and living in denial and delusion.
The fantasy world of an addict is more important to him than the real world. As he lets his thoughts go, he becomes convinced that the scenario he constructs to support his addiction is true. . . . Along with distortion is a breakdown in logical thinking. The addicted person, for example, refuses to link alcohol abuse with impaired driving. Or sexual sin with a threat to his marriage. Or compulsive spending with bankruptcy.
When we have a friend or family with a life-controlling problem, we need to learn to get out of the way and allow God to work in their life. But even then, we need to communicate with them. Each effective communication chips away at their denial system.
Effective communication will lessen their defense mechanism and allow them to hear the truth in a caring way. We can help our loved one tear down a wall of defenses, brick by brick, until they can see themselves as they really are.
In his book Caring Enough to Confront, David Augsburger originates the term "care-fronting." He describes care-fronting as a communication technique that brings together the positive idea of caring with the negative idea of confronting. When we are motivated by caring, not anger, confronting our loved one with the truth can be the most loving thing we can do.
Lord, forgive me for the times I have confronted my loved one in anger. Teach me to speak the truth in love. In Jesus' name . . .

Most people know that solar panels produce little on a cloudy day. But you may not have heard that even spotty or partial shade can negatively affect solar panel production a surprising amount.
If large trees cast full shade on your house most of the day, solar may not be in the cards. But for the much more common issue of intermittent or partial shade caused by branches, chimneys, or other small obstructions, the future is still bright.

Das Kraftwerk Son Reus (, ) ist ein Gas-und-Dampf-Kombikraftwerk auf der Baleareninsel Mallorca.

Beschreibung
Der Bau der Anlage in Palma rund 8 Kilometer nördlich vom Stadtzentrum im Ortsteil Son Reus begann im Jahr 2000 und wurde in drei Abschnitten errichtet. 2005 war der Bau abgeschlossen und ging ans Netz.

Die erste Gruppe besteht aus vier einzelnen Gasturbinen von General Electric, Typ 6B, mit je 36 MW, die nicht im Verbund betrieben werden.

Die erste GuD-Gruppe wurde mit drei Gasturbinen Alstom Typ GT8C  mit je 52,5 MW und eine Dampfturbine Alstom Typ TC854MV122 mit 75 MW installiert und wurde 2001 in Betrieb genommen.

2005 wurde eine zweite GuD-Anlage mit zwei Gasturbinen General Electric Typ 6FA mit je 75 MW und einer Dampfturbine Siemens ST5 mit 75 MW in Betrieb genommen. Hinter den Gasturbinen verwendet Son Reus NEM Abhitzekessel und HRSG horizontale Zweidruckkessel mit Naturumlauf. Die Hochdruckseite arbeitet bei 89 bar und 540 °C. Die Niederdruckseite arbeitet bei 8 bar und 240 °C.

Bis zur Eröffnung der Erdgaspipeline Península–Illes Balears im Jahr 2010 wurde das Kraftwerk mit Heizöl betrieben.

Derzeit hat das Kraftwerk eine installierte Gesamtleistung von 601,5 MW und kann sowohl mit Erdgas als Hauptbrennstoff oder auch alternativ mit Dieselkraftstoff betrieben werden. Vorrangig wird dieses Kraftwerk im Mittellastbereich und bei Bedarf im Bereich des Spitzenstroms betrieben. Betreiber ist das spanische Energieunternehmen GESA-Endesa.

She phoned the airline to finish the reservation. "A customer service agent told me that she couldn't use the same Web system that the public sees, though she found a fare that was $50 higher than the flight I'd originally chosen," says Marcus, a retired government worker from Fairfax, Va.

Over six in 10 people (63%) working in the retail and wholesale sectors feel always, often or sometimes lonely. That's the stark finding of new research released by the British Red Cross.
The Red Cross polled over 4,000 UK adults and found that a third (33%) of people working in retail and wholesale don't have colleagues they feel close to or can talk to about their loneliness.
Zoë Abrams, Executive Director of Communications and Advocacy at British Red Cross commented: "Loneliness and social isolation doesn't discriminate. Life circumstances can change in the blink of an eye, meaning it can happen to anyone, no matter your age or background.

Japanese Maps/
1838 Woodblock Ino Tadataka Atlas of Japan or Kokugun Zenzu ( 2 volumes )
KokugunZenzu-InoTadatka-1838
Kokugun Zenzu
c. 1838 (undated) 11 x 7.75 in (27.94 x 19.685 cm)
Entitled Kokugun Zenzu and printed c. 1838 (Tenpo 9), this is an early Japanese atlas of exceptional rarity, beauty and importance. Compiled by Motonobu Aoo and Toshiro Eirakayu based upon the works of Japan's 18th century master cartographer Ino Tadataka, this set of two volumes contains more than 70 regional maps of Japan. Each map offers spectacular beauty and detail exhibits traditional Japanese cartography at its finest. Such atlases were compiled by order of the Shogun Tokugawa and given as gifts to his favored warlords. Many of the feudal fortresses in Japan were subsequently destroyed by war and fire, their archives were lost, and thus few such examples survive. Further Ino Tadataka material is additionally rare as most of his surviving maps were assembled in the late 1800s by an imperial functionary and avid Ino collector. They were subsequently stored in the Royal Palace archives which were themselves, tragically, destroyed by fire in 1912. There are two different versions of this atlas. Though both have the same maps, one is a 'deluxe' edition, is larger and printed on heavy paper. The other is printed on very thin paper and is physically thinner. This is the 'deluxe' edition.
Ino Tadataka (February 11, 1745 - May 17, 1818) was a Japanese surveyor and cartographer and is considered to be one of the fathers of modern Japan. Ino Tadataka was born in Kujukuri, a coastal village in Kazusa Province (Chiba Prefecture) and little is known of his early years. What is known is that at age 17 he was adopted into the prosperous Ino clan. The Ino family were wealth rice merchant and saki brewers based in Sawara (now a district of Katori, Chiba), a town in Shimo-Usa Province. Ino Tadataka served the family interests for nearly thirty-two years before turning his interests to mathematics, astronomy, and cartography. He moved to Edo (modern Tokyo) and there apprenticed himself to Takahashi Yoshitoki, a specialist in astronomy under the Tokugawa Shogunate. After five years of study he petitioned the Shogun for permission to map the coastline of Japan using modern techniques and his own money. The Shogun approved and Tadataka spent the next seventeen years surveying the country on foot. This monumental work resulted in a map and subsequent atlas of such extraordinary accuracy and detail that would be the definitive mapping of Japan for the next 100 years. The maps and atlases for which Ino Tadataka would be forever known were compiled by his friends and family and published approximately three years after his death. By the late 19th century Ino Tadataka's maps had become the standard for Japanese cartography and were avidly collected by wealthy merchants and bureaucrats throughout Japan. One such, a functionary in the Imperial household, actually managed to collect most of Ino Tadataka's surviving work which he stored in the Royal Palace. When the Palace was destroyed by fire in 1814 most of this prized collection went with it. Today Ino's maps and atlases are consequently of extraordinary value and rarity. Learn More...

Infectious Aerosol Mask Prevents Viral Spread in Healthcare Setting
In the middle of a global health pandemic, sometimes the stars align for an invention at UNMC, the perfect collaboration of creative innovation and local business that lead to the creation of a new product that can change the way medical services are provided to people in need. That's exactly what happened when Doctors Nicholas Markin and Steven Lisco, who created the Infectious Aerosol Capture Mask, and Tyler Keffeler vice president at Omaha Custom Manufacturing (OCM) came together this spring.
The Infectious Aerosol Capture Mask is a new three-piece respiration mask that keeps healthcare providers and those in the vicinity of the patient safe.
"This pandemic highlighted a lot of things we just did not think about before. We took for granted that as a doctor, you were going to be exposing yourself to risk without really thinking about what that meant," UNeMed Licensing Specialist Tyler Scherr said. "Our new mask collects virus particles off of infected patients who are intubated, without them shedding those particles into the hospital room, without exposing hospital staff."
Currently, the mask consists of three pieces: a face shield, a viral filter, and an adapter. Keffeler said OCM has been able to step in and assist by producing the custom adaptor component, which allows the viral filter to connect on the suction tubing. What started as a 3D-printed piece is now created with a custom mold by OCM for quicker mass production.
Keffeler said the plan is to create one, single-piece mask that incorporates the three different components into one mask, eliminating the need for three different pieces. Scherr said this version will need to be tested before it is ready for use by hospitals and healthcare providers.
Keffeler said that OCM is currently selling the three-piece version to the folks who are using the masks—UNMC, US Air Force and a few other hospitals nationally that need it.
"The mask project is special and we are thrilled we can be here and available so we can offer our company to get this to as many people and help as many people as we can, given where the world is today," Keffeler said. "There is a special aspect of this project that might not be there with another project that we might work on."
Scherr said working with a manufacturer like OCM right out of the gates has huge benefits because "they can think in terms of what's optimal design not just for the features and functionality that you need, but what's optimal design for actually manufacturing this at scale." This can help cut cost.
Keffeler said he is very proud of his team, as they have had to work in a unique way on the project, using Zoom meetings and more virtual planning than usual to create the project, and they were working against the virus to try and get the product out as fast as possible. "We are all really rowing the boat in the same direction to try and get this thing done as fast as we can to help as many people as we can," Keffeler said. "We wanted to do everything we could to fast track it."
Scherr said his personal connection to Keffeler, whom he knows through an academic board at Metropolitan Community College, let him know that OCM was the ideal company to partner with for the project. "We both knew if this could save even one life, it was worth doing," Scherr said. "We were all on the same page here."
Now that the product is available in area medical facilities, Keffeler said he and his team see the possibility for it to be used on other viruses in addition to COVID-19. "We want people to know this tool is in the toolbox. Once COVID-19 is under control, this tool will be valuable for other diseases that spread the same way as this one."
So it seems that those aligned stars allowed UNMC, UNeMed, UNeTech, and OCM to band together and create something beneficial for healthcare providers, COVID-19 patients, and potential future patients as well.


Can the offense push men's lacrosse past Virginia, Johns Hopkins, and Cornell?
The Princeton men's lacrosse team starts 2008 with the same challenge that confronted it in each of the past two years: generating enough offense to beat the best teams on its schedule. Defensively, the Tigers have been remarkable. In 2006, they went 11–5, holding opponents to an average of 6.6 goals per game. Last year, they trimmed that figure to 6.17 goals, the best in the nation, on their way to a 10–4 record. But in their losses, the Tigers have scored fewer than six goals, on average, putting extraordinary pressure on the Princeton defense.
"The million-dollar question is who's going to score those goals [to put Princeton ahead]," said head coach Bill Tierney. "We've got to score double figures against Hopkins, Virginia, and Cornell." Princeton has gone 1–5 against those three opponents in the past two years.
Tierney hopes that the answer starts with Scott MacKenzie '10, a 6-foot-5-inch attackman who could replace Scott Sowanick '07 as the team's offensive quarterback. That would allow the coach to move Tommy Davis '09, a midfielder in high school who has started on attack the past two years, back to his old position. Starting attackman Alex Haynie '08 also returns, but he will face competition from Rob Engelke '10, who scored twice in the 9–8 overtime loss to Georgetown in the first round of last year's NCAA playoffs; Greg Seaman '09, a midfielder whom Tierney has moved to crease attack; and highly recruited freshman cousins Jack and Chris McBride.
Anchoring the midfield will be Mark Kovler '09, a third-team All-American last year and Princeton's second-leading goal-scorer after Peter Trombino '07. Josh Lesko '09, Mike Gaudio '08, and Rich Sgalardi '09 also return for the Tigers.
Princeton remains strong on the defensive end, starting with goalie Alex Hewit '08, a first-team All-American in 2006, when he saved 64.6 percent of the shots he faced. Last year, his save rate dropped to 59.5 percent, which may not sound like much. But when a team shoots 28 times (the per-game average for Princeton's opponents last year), that 5 percent difference amounts to about a goal — critical in a season in which three of the team's four losses were by one goal. Tierney admitted that Hewit "didn't quite live up to the standard he'd set as a sophomore," but added that any team would have been happy with the goalie's 2007 campaign.
Hewit will play behind a handful of experienced defenders. First-team All-American Zachary Jungers '07 and long-stick midfielder John Bennett '07 have graduated, but starters Dan Cocoziello '08 and Chris Peyser '09 return. Jeremy Hirsch '10 will join them on close defense, with Charlie Kolkin '09 playing long-stick midfield and Zachary Goldberg '08 and Brendan Reilly '09 filling the short-stick defensive midfield positions.
Princeton starts the year with games against perennial powers Johns Hopkins (March 1 in Baltimore) and Virginia (March 8 at home), and Cornell likely will provide the stiffest competition in the Ivy League. The Tigers' defense should get them to the playoffs again, where their offensive prowess will determine how far they advance.

It's big, magnificent and when I got there cold.
After a days travel I pulled up at the Mather campground in the Grand Canyon national park just as the wind that had been blowing all day turned to gale force and the skies that had been a foreboding grey opened up and a flurry of snow came down. Now normally I like snow but when you are trying to set up a tent barely bigger then yourself and then get both yourself and your backpack in there without getting wet can be a challenge.

Colbert Convinces Jerry Seinfeld to Turn on Bill Cosby's Comedy (Video)
"Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" star may have bowed to a bit of pressure last night
Tony Maglio | September 30, 2017 @ 9:17 AM	Last Updated: September 30, 2017 @ 9:20 AM
Jerry Seinfeld no longer thinks we should distinguish Bill Cosby the comedian from Bill Cosby the man. We think.
"Can you still listen to his comedy?" Stephen Colbert asked his Friday guest about the stand-up whom they both most-admired as kids.
"Oh, yeah," Seinfeld replied, echoing logic he's previously shared with Norm MacDonald and others.

In the wake of all these awful sexual assault allegations against the "Cosby Show" star, Colbert disagrees.
"You can't separate it?" Seinfeld asked. "I know, it's tragic. But there's a lot of comedy in tragedy… there's a lot of people that have tragic lives."
That opinion didn't last very long last night.

Following a commercial break, Seinfeld started his second couch segment this way:
"You know what I realized? In the commercial, we were just talking about Cosby and I realized, you know what? I can't just separate it either. Now that you said it, and I thought about it — and I haven't listened to any of that stuff — I realized, it would bother me and I don't think I could."
"But should we separate it or shouldn't we separate the art or the work from the man?" he then asked the "Late Show" host, seemingly questioning his own sudden change of heart.
"Alright, you're right," Seinfeld concluded. "I'll change my mind."

33 Worst Sitcoms of All Time: From 'Mama's Family' to 'Coupling' (Photos)
A good sitcom can make viewers forget their troubles for 22 minutes. Warning: The following list does not name any of those kinds of shows.
TheWrap dumpster-dives deep to find for you these, the 33 worst sitcoms of all time. Happy browsing!
Also Read: 'Game of Thrones' 5 Lowest-Rated Episodes So Far (Photos)
"My Mother the Car" (1965-66) One has to wonder what kind of Freudian therapy session must have birthed this idea: A man buys a dilapidated touring car when he discovers that it's the reincarnation of his deceased mother, who talks to him through the radio. Maybe creator Allan Burns just needed to get this out of his system before he could make "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "Rhoda."
NBC/NBCU Photo Bank/Getty Images
"The Ropers" (1979-80) Everyone liked Mr. Furley on "Three's Company," no one liked Mr. Roper. Guess which one got a spinoff? Bad choice.
"Joanie Loves Chachi" (1982-83) Everyone loved "Happy Days." No one even liked this spinoff.
ABC/Getty Images
"AfterMASH" (1983-85) Arguably the greatest TV dramedy of all time, "MASH" successfully blended the horrors of war with the comedy that was essential for the beleaguered doctors and nurses to remain sane. But what happens when you take away much of the great ensemble cast and replace the horrors of war with the boredom of suburbia? Nothing, apparently.
CBS Photo Archive/Getty Images
"Mama's Family" (1983-90) If Tyler Perry's Madea were an old white lady, it might look a little something like this. The show was canceled after one season on NBC but somehow managed a second life for five seasons in syndication.

"Ferris Bueller" (1990-91) The movie on which the show was based covered one awesome day. "Ferris Bueller" the TV show wasn't even good for that long. (And yes, that is pre-"Friends" Jennifer Aniston.)
"Harry & the Hendersons" (1991-93) Let's just say this early '90s sitcom was a little before the "War for the Planet of the Apes" technology.
Universal Television
"George" (1993-94) What's funnier than a boxer-turned-grill-pitchman? Everything.
"Homeboys in Outer Space" (1996-97) This was the real name of a real TV show. And the title of the sci-fi sitcom is pretty much all you need to know about how "Homeboys" made our list.
"The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer" (1998) It should have stayed a secret.
"Yes, Dear" (2000-06) No, thank you, said viewers.
"Coupling" (American version) (2003) As if the copied-and-pasted scripts, the complete lack of chemistry among the cast, the canned laughs and the overall below-average quality wasn't enough to dissuade NBC execs from exporting one of the UK's best sitcoms to America, they forgot this part: There was already an American "Coupling"; it was called "Friends." And for proof that nobody wants below quality "Friends," see our "Joey" slide again.
"My Big Fat Greek Life" (2003) "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" was a great date-night movie. "My Big Fat Greek Life" was a perfect reason to turn the TV off at dinner time.
"Joey" (2004-06) You know what was funny? "Friends." You know what wasn't funny? One "Friend."
"Emily's Reasons Why Not" (2006) We have about a million reasons why not.
Richard Cartwright/ABC Via Getty Images
"S#*! My Dad Says" (2010-11) There's a reason why tweets are limited to 140 characters, and not as many jokes as you can cram into 22 minutes.
"The Hard Times of RJ Berger" (2010-11) The nerdy title character becomes popular after his entire school accidentally sees his surprisingly large genitalia. "RJ Berger" was kind of like "Superbad," just without the laughs.
"The Paul Reiser Show" (2011) It's like "Mad About You," except without everything you liked about "Mad About You."
"2 Broke Girls" (2011-17) It's easier to get through an episode if you imagine the characters are in a race to mention sex or body parts as many times as possible, and rack up bonus points for stereotypes.
"Are You There, Chelsea?" (2012) Are you there, viewers? No? OK, never mind.
Chris Haston/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images
"Rob!" (2012) No! "Saturday Night Live" alumnus Rob Schneider's family-focused sitcom couldn't connect.
"1600 Penn" (2012-13) It's not a great sign for a sitcom when the dramatic version of the show -- in this case, "The West Wing" -- is 10x funnier than the comedic one. Maybe we were all still in the "Book of Mormon" haze with Josh Gad and really wanted to see Bill Pullman back in the Oval Office, but that's no excuse.
Byron Cohen/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images
"Work It" (2012-13) Panned by nearly every reviewer imaginable when it debuted in 2012, it seems unfathomable how "Work It" even made it on the air, until you see this part from the promos: "From the writers of 'Friends'." Men dressing up as women to get ahead hasn't worked since "Bosom Buddies," and even then it was only funny because of Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari's chemistry.
"Cavemen" (2013) This show was based on a GEICO Insurance commercial of all things. Let that sink in for a minute.
"Dads" (2013-14) The Seth MacFarlane live-action sitcom featured Martin Mull calling Asians "Orientals" and telling his son not to trust the Chinese: "There's a reason Shanghai's a verb."
Yeah, there's a reason this show didn't even make it one season.
"The Millers" (2013-15) In all fairness, "The Millers" isn't necessarily terrible; it's just terribly average. It becomes unforgivable when you remember that, before "Millers," Greg Garcia created "Raising Hope," one of the most delightful (and hilarious) shows in recent memory. Plus, CBS chose "Millers" over Garcia's much better pilot, "Super Clyde," starring Rupert Grint and Stephen Fry. Oh, the pain...
"Bad Judge" (2014-15) Bad show.
"Mulaney" (2014-15) John Mulaney is a funny dude. "Mulaney" was not a funny show. That's an important distinction.
"Angel From Hell" (2016) The sitcom from hell. The CBS series starring Jane Lynch was yanked after just five episodes.
"The Great Indoors" (2016-17) There was nothing "great" about Joel McHale's CBS series. Yes, we could have used the same joke had this show been called "The Pretty Good Indoors."
"Imaginary Mary" (2017) Let's just pretend this Jenna Elfman show never happened.
"9JKL" (2017-18) The real-life story of how creator and star Mark Feuerstein lived as an adult in apartment 9K in the building he grew up in, sandwiched between his intrusive parents' apartment, 9J, and his brother, sister-in-law and their baby's apartment, 9L, is cute. The TV show version was unappealing.
"Living Biblically" (2018) Jay R. Ferguson tries to live in accordance with the Bible's teachings as closely as possible. This show went to hell in a hand basket.
Hey, not everything can be "Seinfeld"

Presidential grant to build medical humanities curriculum

As part of a nearly $2 million University of Illinois System initiative, fourteen projects were selected from more than 50 proposals to bolster and encourage the arts and humanities at the system's universities in Urbana-Champaign, Chicago and Springfield–one of which will result in a new medical humanities curriculum for both undergraduates in the system and medical students in the Carle Illinois College of Medicine. Stephanie Hilger, who has been involved in developing the medical humanities thread at Carle Illinois, has been awarded a $100,000 portion of this initiative to support her efforts in bridging the humanities and health sciences for students pursuing careers in health.

The Carle Illinois curriculum was specifically designed at the intersection of medicine and engineering, training its students to approach medicine using a problem-solving mindset in order to leverage technology to improve patient care. While medical machines and technology have greatly advanced the scope of treatment available to patients, these tools are designed to allow physicians more time to treat the whole person. Developing the medical humanities curriculum will propel Carle Illinois to fulfill its commitment to a high-tech, high-touch learning environment for its students.
"The emphasis of Carle Illinois College of Medicine is to leverage engineering and technology to enhance the humanistic aspect of medicine. Developing a cutting edge curriculum for medical humanities in the rapidly changing world of health care is sorely needed not just for our college, but for medical education in general. We are very fortunate to have this funding to jumpstart our efforts in this important area," said Dr. King Li, dean of the Carle Illinois College of Medicine.
In addition to building the medical humanities curriculum for Carle Illinois medical students, the grant will also build a medical humanities curriculum for undergraduates at Illinois, and will create "public squares" that will bring together scholars, students, community experts, activists, artists and health professionals to discuss various health issues impacting the communities surrounding the three universities.
"In the context of the presidential initiative, we will organize a lecture series with prominent speakers in medical humanities, develop a medical humanities curriculum, and organize a public forum for discussing health issues from a variety of perspectives," Hilger said. Hilger is also head of the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures, and professor of German, comparative and world literature, and gender and women's studies in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.

How did Noel Photoshopping his photos for the title of his new album?
Comments Off on How did Noel Photoshopping his photos for the title of his new album?
Photo studio photoshopping is the act of replacing a photo or image with another one that resembles it.
It is also sometimes known as "scalable photoshooting", where you remove certain aspects of an image to make it look like another image.
A common technique for this is to edit out the hair and make the face more "realistic".
In this video, the camera follows Noel's process, to show how he made his title image.
Noel has been working on his new record for nearly a year and released the single, "The First Day", on Thursday (February 5).
The video is a great example of the kind of creative work that he does with his photoshopped images, and it shows how much he has grown from when he first started out as a teenager.
It's also a great way to introduce you to the world of photoshop.
Noel is one of the most prolific photoshop artists in the world, and his work is often used in a range of films and videos.
He's worked with the likes of Madonna, Jay-Z and Beyonce, and has even been photographed at festivals like SXSW and SXSW Live.
His work is also featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
He is currently working on a documentary about the making of the album, which will be out in 2019.
You can find out more about his work by visiting his website.

Oasis is delighted to introduce Rialto, a special edition collection, purposely created for the most refined of bathroom settings. As exclusive and elegant as the name suggests, Rialto takes its inspiration from sumptuous Venetian interiors and is enriched by superlative Made in Italy craftsmanship.

The Rialto collection consists of a vanity console 98x51x(h)195 cm size, complete with matching basin and mirror. In addition to the drawers, tall-cupboards can provide additional storage when needed. The structure and surfaces are covered entirely with glass, with a choice of mirrored or black finish. The drawer fronts, mirror frames and edges of the tall-units feature a unique 'ribbed' or 'scalloped' effect and the geometric detail on the legs and structural parts resemble a cut diamond. The countertop basin is by gloss white resin and also features 'ribbed' detail, displaying hallmark Art Déco geometries to reinforce the look and feel of a classic 'salle de bain'. The Rialto collection is perfect for the larger bathroom and for those demanding clients who desire luxurious interiors for their bathroom and wellness area.
