Q: What does the word "they" refer in the context?
And what about computers? Suppose computers are developed to the point
  where they can be used to control robots that look on the outside like
  dogs, respond in complicated ways to the environment, and behave in
  many ways just like dogs, though they are just a mass of circuitry and
  silicon chips on the inside? Would we have any way of knowing whether
  such machines were conscious?

[What does it all mean? Thomas Nagel]
What does the word "they" refer in the context? computers or robots
Thanks

A: It refers to robots; it is part of the noun phrase that is the object of control:

robots that look on the outside like dogs, respond in complicated ways to the environment, and behave in many ways just like dogs, though they are just a mass of circuitry and silicon chips on the inside

A: Neither/Both/machines.
"They" refers to the resulting advanced computer-controlled robot. So neither.
"They" refers to the developed computers, which control robots. And "they" also refers to robots, which are controlled by the computers. So both.
In the next sentence these computer-controlled robots are referred to as machines, so the "they" applies to them (the machines) too. So the machines.
The real answer is that the concept of an advanced computer-controlled robot is brought to mind by the supposition. So the "they" refers to an implied thought and not a grammatical element.
Consider a simpler example.

Suppose you cross a sheep with a goat. What would you call it?

"It" refers to neither a sheep nor a goat, but the result of the cross. "It" therefore refers something brought to mind, a concept, which is grammatically not present.

Discover Philadelphia
English / USD $
An iconic symbol of American Independence
Discover the sights and sounds of American freedom at the Liberty Bell. Legend has it that the bell was rung to summon the citizens of Philadelphia to hear the first reading of the Declaration of Independence by Colonel John Nixon on July 8, 1776. Get up close to one of the most important symbols of liberty and democracy in the US.
As well as its significance to American Independence, it also played a crucial role in the abolition of slavery. The Liberty Bell has been ringing the changes in American society for over 250 years.
History that chimes
Originally placed in the steeple of the Pennsylvania State House, today you'll find it in the Liberty Bell Center in Independence National Historical Park. Hop off the Philadelphia bus tour right outside.
Take a closer look at the bell and you'll notice a hefty crack in it. The story goes that this first appeared on George Washington's birthday, February 23, 1846. The Liberty Bell may not ring any longer, but its historic chime still echoes.
Other interesting facts about the Liberty Bell
The bell's timeless inscription reads – 'Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof'
The bell was originally commissioned in 1751 to celebrate 50 years since William Penn's 1701 Charter of Privileges
The bell weighed 2,080 lbs (943 kgs) when cast and is made from 70% copper, 25% tin and small amounts of gold, lead, silver and arsenic
The wide crack in the bell is actually the result of a repair job, carried out by workman to prevent the original hairline fracture getting worse
Although an integral part of US independence, the bell was actually made in London, England, by afirm called Lester and Pack.

Q: why does my app crash when I call for objectForInfoDictionaryKey: CFBundleShortVersionString I am trying to get my version number of my app using:
NSString * version = [[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey: @"CFBundleShortVersionString"];

but it crashes with this error:
[NSString stringWithUTF8String:]: NULL cString

What am I doing wrong?

A: Check your info.plist to make sure short version (CFBundleShortVersionString) or (Bundle versions string, short) is set.
Your code is fine.  But you can also call it this way:
NSString * version = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@"CFBundleShortVersionString"];


There are two types of people in this world: Those who buy brand name and those who buy knock-off generic named products. The question is, what are you? Will you sacrifice quality and go for a lesser known brand? Or, will you go for the top quality brand names? Now, when I say brands you may be thinking of some of the more popular brands out there like Coca-Cola, Ford, and Nike. But, if you are like me and love to research and study something before you purchase then you will realize that the brand of the product you purchase can mean a lot. I don't care if you are buying a toothbrush or a window air conditioner. Brands matter.
In my younger years I spent ten years working for the Kenworth Truck company. For those of who you don't know Kenworth's Trucks are known as the Cadillacs of the trucking world. These trucks were top of the line and everyone knew it. You got top quality, all the features, and tough durability. If you were rich, or if the company you drove for was kind to you, then you got to drive a Kenworth. Otherwise, you were stuck driving a Freightliner or an International. People went out of their way to buy Kenworth over some the other brands. That is brand recognition and goes to tell you that the Kenworth company knows what they are doing.
The point I am trying to make here folks is that even with window air conditioners there are numerous brands and manufacturers to choose from. The question though is what is the best brand? What is the Cadillac of the Window Air Conditioner world? Let's dive in and take a look.
This was a toss up folks. I was debating back and forth between Friedrich and Frigidaire for our best brand names for window air conditioners. After some back and forth I decided to go with Friedrich for our top pick.
Friedrich has been around as a company since 1883. That is one-hundred and thirty-five years of being in business. That is very impressive. In the 1800's they were originally founded as a custom furniture maker but the founder of the company, Ed Friedrich, was an inventor and innovator. Around this time various people and companies had begun to dabble and develop their own types of refrigeration technologies. Ed was one of these people having developed one of the first refrigeration systems in the late 1800's. This invention gave the company sustained growth and expansion for decades.
Moving into the 1950's, nearly seventy years later, and the Friedrich company was still going strong. At this point in time they were one of the world's largest manufacturers of refrigeration equipment and machines. Seeing another opportunity the company decided to expand further into their niche market and they began to specialize in window and room air conditioners.
Over the years Friedrich has become a prominent brand name in the window air conditioner world. They are known for their top quality products and their commercial grade durability. That means that their machines last and won't fall apart on you or break after only a year or two of usage. All that being said I will warn you now that you should be prepared to pay a bit more for the price if you want to purchase a Friedrich air conditioner. Remember though folks that you are paying for top quality!
The Frigidaire company was my runner up for best brands in window air conditioners. If you haven't heard of the company name Frigidaire before I have to ask where have you been? You'll see this brand name all over your house. I don't care if it's on your refrigerator, your dishwasher, or your laundry machine. These guys are into every home appliance you can imagine.
While they haven't been around nearly as long as Friedrich I can assure you that Frigidaire knows exactly what they are doing and have been around for over one-hundred years. On top of that, just like Friedrich, Frigidaire was a pioneer in the refrigeration and cooling industry. In fact one of their principal investors was Willam Durant, a founder of General Motors. GM went on to develop the first 'Freon' refrigerant in the 1930s while they were partnered with DuPont. On top of all of that Frigidaire invented and began selling the first self-contained refrigerator in 1916.
Frigidaire has been around ever since manufacturing and innovating on new appliances. While they may not have the commercial durability and quality that Friedrich has I can assure you that you are still getting a great product for a fraction of the cost that you would pay for a new Friedrich.
Let's put it this way. If you are wanting the best of the best then get a Friedrich. However, if you want a good product that will last, cool your room, and not kill your budget then I would suggest going with the Frigidaire brand name.
Ok folks so now you have an idea of the best brand names out there. But now, what do you look for when purchasing a new window air conditioner? How do you know what size to buy? What features should you get? What other considerations should be made? To help you out with all of these questions and more we at RefrigerantHQ have built a Window Air Conditioner Buyer's Guide that can be found by clicking here.
Not only will this guide answer your questions but it will also give you recommended products based on your room size. Oh, and don't worry there are plenty of Frigidaire and Friedrich names in our recommended product listing!

During the age of the lens, we perceived an analogy of our surroundings, automatically. Photography functioned as a checks-and-balances system, at least conceptually, because it was something you would "capture." You could—theoretically—subcontract the purpose of a picture to a mere accident of having been there. It made the photograph self-justified. That is now gone, and instead we have a reduction in the diversity of the perceived world, a perception through information that is made to measure. This change in register announces itself like an unavoidable technical evolution—as did the transition from analog to digital—but has far-reaching consequences that will make photography a clearly closed historical chapter. One might refer to this evolution as a dark optics, in which images will no longer be a record of something in reality but exist solely as a mental phenomenon.
David Claerbout (b. 1969, Kortrijk, Belgium) is an artist working at the intersection of photography, film, and digital technology. Trained as a painter, Claerbout became more and more interested in time through investigations in the nature of photography and film. His works and immersive installations fuse together the past, present, and future into elastic timelines that engage the viewer with philosophical contemplations on our perception of time and reality, memory and experience, truth and fiction.
Claerbout's work has been presented widely, including in solo exhibitions at Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria (2018); Schaulager, Basel and MNAC, Barcelona (2017); Städel Museum, Frankfurt and KINDL, Berlin (2016); Marabouparken Konsthall, Sundbybert, Sweden (2015); Nederlands Fotomuseum, Rotterdam (2014); Kunsthalle Mainz, Germany (2013); Secession, Vienna and Tel Aviv Museum, Israel (2012); SFMOMA, San Francisco and WIELS, Brussels (2011); De Pont Museum of Contemporary Art, Tilburg, The Netherlands (2009) and (2016); Pompidou Center, Paris (2007); The Kunstmuseum, St. Gallen, Switzerland (2008); and Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven (2005) among other places. He is represented by Sean Kelly Gallery, New York.


I think yes. I was just thinking about when I saw some tralers.
Yeah, I agree. It's not about doing cool stunts (even though it's really fun to do so) but about telling a good story and giving an immersive experience.
While a video editor would be really cool, it would involve a huge amount of re-programming the Anvil engine to support such a feature.
It would be fun to record replays of your best assassinations/failed assassinations but it would take a vast amount of time to add such a feature to Assassin's Creed 2.
I agree. It's a neat idea, but this late in development, not worth the effort it would require.
Maybe if they need to recode from scratch anyway in AC3? But for 1 and 2, no.
then can we at least hope for an update that will let us do something like take pictures or something like that?
That would be another huge side project to add the ability to record/edit gameplay movies. I certainly agree that it would be great to play and edit your gameplay videos but unless that feature it made from the ground up, the ability to produce such software afterwards would be time consuming and costly but not utterly impossible.

Q: Manifest attributes not allowed when adding app as external librairy (android) I'm currently new on Android. I try to create an app using another app project as an external library. For the moment, the two projects (two apps just created via Android Studio) are in the same folder like :
Project1

  |--build.gradle

  |--settings.gradle

Project2

  |--build.gradle

  |--settings.gradle

To add project2 as an external library, I just added to Project1/settings.gradle :
include ':MyDependency'
project(':MyDependency').projectDir =  new File('D:/Projects/Project1', '../Project2')

and in the build.gradle of the application : compile project(':MyDependency').
Then, Project2 appears on the project window, so I guess it found the project.
When I then try to sync with gradle, I obtain the message

"Error:Unable to resolve dependency for ':app@debugAndroidTest/compileClasspath': Could not resolve project :MyDependency." and the same message for each other task in compileClassPath.

When I click on show details, the following message is displayed :

"Unable to find a matching configuration of project :MyDependency: None of the consumable configurations have attributes."

I tried each solution given for each problem, (buildTypes, clear caches, etc), but it does not work.
I also remarked that when I open Project2/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml, most attributes are not allowed here. Weird thing because if I open Project2 in another window on Android Studio, I don't get this message (and it builds perfectly). Once again, i tried each solution given on internet, which did not resolve my problem. I think that it's the cause of the problem.
Does anyone have an idea ?
I'm using Android Studio 3.0.1 and gradle 4.1.
Thank you very much!
Regards :)

A: You can change your Project2 to another module in Project1 as android library. In your project build.gradle you put include ':app', ':library-module' and in your app dependencies:
dependencies {
    compile project(":library-module")
}

More info: https://developer.android.com/studio/projects/android-library.html

A: Dude you need to create a framwork that 'll share the code between your 2 apps

Q: Overriding Subscript operator creates its own variables? I tried to override the Subscript operator to make matrix indexing a bit more "user-friendly" in complex expressions with the following code according to the documentation:
Subscript[x__] := Part[x]; (* Indexed instead of Part has the same effect *)

I defined matrix X3×2 as X = Range[10, 15]~Partition~2;.
Now, I assign this matrix as the first element of an a list and I prepend a full-one-row to it. I execute these two commands four times:
a = {X};
PrependTo[Subscript[a, 1], ConstantArray[1, 2]];

After 4 executions of this cell I get the following dimensions:
Dimensions[Subscript[a, 1]] (* {7, 2} *)
Dimensions[Part[a, 1]]      (* {3, 2} *)

When I print out the matrices I get two distinct ones:
Part[a, 1]
(* {{10, 11}, {12, 13}, {14, 15}} *)

Subscript[a, 1]
(* {{1, 1}, {1, 1}, {1, 1}, {1, 1}, {10, 11}, {12, 13}, {14, 15}} *)

I reset a to {X} on every iteration, despite of this I see {1, 1} prepended four times into the a1 matrix. My question is why this happens?

A: The confusion is arising probably due to a misunderstanding of what PrependTo does.  Note that PrependTo has attribute HoldFirst.  After prepending ConstantArray[1,2] to the first part of a, the result is stored not in a, but rather as a DownValue to Subscript.  The Subscript doesn't get turned into Part thanks to the HoldFirst attribute.  Also, the symbol a never even changes with each call of PrependTo, and therefore the code a={X} is superfluous.
Starting from a fresh kernel, after running this,
Subscript[x__] := Part[x];

The following gives the definition associated with Subscript:
Definition[Subscript]

Attributes[Subscript] = {NHoldRest}
Subscript[x__] := Part[x]

Now set a={x} and run your PrependTo code once:
PrependTo[Subscript[a, 1], ConstantArray[1, 2]];

But run Definition[Subscript] again, and you'll notice that the following has been added:

Subscript[{{{10, 11}, {12, 13}, {14, 15}}}, 1] = {{1, 1}, {10, 11}, {12, 13}, {14, 15}}

Therefore, at the very end, when you call Subscript[a,1],  the definition Subscript[x__] := Part[x]; is not being invoked.  Rather the newly created definition is being called.

HPV Vaccines: Updates from Central and South America
June 13, 2015 By admin 11 Comments
By Norma Erickson
Are HPV vaccines the number one cause of coincidence around the globe? Are we facing one of the worst epidemics of mass hysteria the world has ever seen? Apparently, health authorities around the world would like us to believe one of these two scenarios.
Almost without exception, survivors of new medical conditions after the administration of Gardasil or Cervarix are told their problems are coincidental, psychosomatic, mass hysteria, conversion disorder, and so on…ad nauseam. The health authorities in one country (Colombia) even went so far as to attribute new medical conditions after Gardasil to the overuse of Ouija boards.
If all of the above fail, the next step is to try and blame the new symptoms on the parents with phrases like Munchausen by proxy, factitious disorder, fabricated or induced illness, attention seeking, simply out for money, and so on.
The first problem with all of these theories is they are usually put forth after little or no medical investigation. This leaves parents who believed their health authorities and had their daughters injected with the newest miracle vaccine feeling confused, abandoned and betrayed by the very people they trusted to protect their children's health and well-being.
The second problem with all of these theories is they delay potentially life-saving treatments which could be provided if investigations took place, accurate diagnoses made and treatment protocols designed and implemented.
Read the following updates and ask yourself – What is wrong with this picture?
Colombia: First Reported Fatality after Gardasil
On May 22, 2015 16-year old Karen Durán-Cantor died after complications related to new onset autoimmune disorders believed to have been triggered by two injections of Gardasil, the human papillomavirus vaccine currently being given to school age girls throughout the country.
Karen received her first Gardasil shot at the end of 2013 and the second one a few months later in early 2014. According to her mother, Karen's hands got swollen almost imediately. She began to experience joint and finger pain that was diagnosed as Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Despite receiving medical therapy, her disease progressed forcing Karen to stop attending school due to the constant severe pain. Consequently, she was not able to graduate from high school with her classmates.
Karen and her family sought a second opinion in Bogotá's Clinica Colsubsidio where she was also diagnosed with pleural effusion requiring drainage to help her breathe. By this time, Karen had lost the ability to walk. She could not go to the bathroom or take a shower by herself. She had nearly constant pain on the right side of her body (the side where the Gardasil injection was administered). Karen frequently complained she was short of breath and it was difficult for her to breathe.
Just prior to her death, Karen experienced difficulty breathing and required oxygen. She was referred to La Samaritana Hospital in Bogotá where she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit where she developed fatal respiratory failure.
These are photos of Karen before and after her Gardasil injections. Please note this dramatic change occured between the end of 2013 and the middle of 2015 – approximately a year-and-a-half.
Karen before Gardasil
Karen after Gardasil
Despite her personal pain, Karen produced a video to warn others about the possible consequences of using Gardasil shortly before her death.
This is the first documented death after the development of autoimmune disorders following the administration of Gardasil in Colombia.
In addition to the pain and grief this family has already had to endure, they have a long journey ahead of them as they attempt to locate a forensic expert to determine the exact cause of their daughter's death.
Karen's family is not alone in Colombia. Hundreds of girls have developed new medical conditions that may have been triggered by Colombia's recent mandatory HPV vaccination program. The Colombian National Institute of Health did carry out an investigation. The lead investigator was Dr. Fernando De La Hoz, a prominent epidemiologist, who resigned after concluding that the adverse events developed by the girls was a result of mass psychogenic disease.
What is wrong with this picture?
Mexico: Several schools cancel HPV vaccinations
Gardasil was introduced in Mexico in 2008, but only to 125 targeted municipalities with the "lowest human development index" which were estimated to have the highest incidence of cervical cancer. The quadrivalent HPV vaccine was delivered to these communities via mobile health clinics to girls who were 12-16 years of age using the currently recommended dosing schedule of 0, 2, and 6-months.
In 2009, the program was expanded to include 182 municipalities, still with the "lowest human development index," but this time with the first two doses being delivered at 0 and 6 months and the third dose 60 months later (5 years) and the targeted girls being ages 9-12.
Considering the current Supreme Court Case in India, one has to wonder… Were these parents informed of the fact their daughters were participants in a clinical trial to determine appropriate dosing regimens?
Why did both programs target girls in so many locations with the lowest human development index? What was the rate of adverse events among the participants?
In 2011, Mexico's National Immunization Council approved a nationwide expansion of its HPV vaccination program to include school-based HPV vaccination for all 9-year-old girls.
Two months before leaving office in 2012, Mexican President Felipe Calderon made HPV vaccination mandatory for all 11-12 year old girls.
According to Chapter 4 of the Comprehensive Cervical Cancer Control: A guide to essential practice, published on February 11, 2013 by the World Health organization, Mexico is currently using alternative dosing schedule, which is not approved or recommended by WHO at this time. (verify on page 6)
May 2015, after only 500 doses of Gardasil were administered under this program, the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) had to cancel the HPV immunization program at some schools because parents were refusing to allow their 9-year-old girls to receive the injections.
Brazil: Uptake of HPV vaccine drops from 83% to 40%
In 2012, Gardasil sales in Japan generated $140 million. In 2013, the Japanese Health Ministry rescinded its recommendation for the use of HPV vaccines causing Merck to look for replacement markets.
By August of the same year, Brazil had agreed to set aside almost $160 million for the purchase of HPV vaccines for use in 2014.
But, 2014 would not be Brazilian girl's first exposure to Gardasil. According to an article published in Elselvier's Trials in Vaccinology in 2013, clinical trials using Gardasil were being conducted in the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil during 2010, 2011 and 2012.
According to the abstract, the objectives of these trials were:
Assess vaccination coverage in that municipality after adopting several strategies for active search and missed opportunities for vaccination against HPV. Evaluate acceptance for the vaccine and reasons for refusal the HPV vaccine. Evaluate the frequency and occurrence of adverse events to that vaccine. A survey of reduction of genital warts was also conducted.
The paper goes on to state that between September 2010 and December 2012, approximately 90,000 doses of Gardasil were used. This number of doses should have covered 30,000 recipients.
However, the 'evaluation of the frequency and occurrence of adverse events' consisted of conducting a survey of 1,000 randomly selected teenagers to be followed up on 96 hours after vaccine administration to evaluate safety and tolerability.
The authors stated the results of this survey as follows:
There were observed a total of 430 local and systemic events in 360 subjects (36% of 1000 girls), stratified by each dose received. No serious adverse events or any hospitalization were reported;
96 hours; only four days? Are these people serious? How can the safety and tolerability of any vaccine be accurately assessed only 4 days after administration?
Nevertheless, the authors' conclusion confidently stated:
According to our results, it seems evident that the good coverage achieved by vaccination against HPV in Campos dos Goytacazes, coupled with no serious adverse events to the vaccine reported throughout the study, point to the feasibility of this vaccination strategy, which can also be used in other municipalities. Taking into account not only the benefits but also the results with regard to the reduction of genital warts, amply demonstrated by international studies [18] and [19], we then seek to suggest the inclusion of HPV vaccination in the Brazilian calendar.
By the end of the same year this study was published, Brazilian health authorities had committed nearly $160 million precious healthcare dollars to the purchase of Gardasil for their 2014 national immunization program.
Between March and May of 2014, 83% of the targeted girls (ages 11-13) in Brazil had received their Gardasil injections. By the end of the year 100% of the targeted 4.9 million girls had been vaccinated.
During the same period (March through May) this year another 4.9 million girls (ages 9-11) were targeted, but only 40.2% of them took the vaccine. Could it be because of stories like these?

It's heartbreaking the way the suffering girls are being treated and it is utterly shameful that they are not being believed.
To literally add insult to injury many of them and even parents are probably being given psychiatric drugs which may be addictive and cause irreversible and serious side effects.
The pharmaceutical industries may well be creating a gigantic number of lifetime customers. Withdrawal from the drugs may be difficult or even impossible. It requires carefully controlled dose reduction and professional help to treat side effects which may be caused in connection with dose reduction.
I am praying for the poor girls and their families.
THE GREATEST PAIN OF ALL
It hurts when you
lean on crutches
in the rain,
and no-one holds an umbrella
chest, stomach
swollen limbs
heart flutters
burning rashes
freezing, sweating
bruising ……
that precious ones
who were healthy and happy
have died
in their sleep
when voices in white say it's only nerves,
when they hand you a piece of paper
and say
next please
But the greatest pain of all
is not to be believed
(Sandy L)
Bill Chaffee says
I had never heard of the sex act until I was 12 years old. I think that it is disgusting that 9 to 12 year olds are being targeted. What percentage of them know what they are being vaccinated for? That those who are disabled by the vaccine are treated like sub human scum is consistent with the fact that people with disabilities are generally treated like sub human scum.
Catherine Cochrane says
They want the younger ages to be vaccinated. Due to predators and their immune system responds very well. Understand that HPV is not a born disease and us passed to us females…BY MALES!

Maria Gillespie | The Collaboratory will present Between Constructions of Desire, a movement installation exploring the links between interior space and external space – within which lies desire of the always localized self and body. Embodied experience is brought into relief by the concrete explorations of body, object, and space. Influenced by minimalist dance and visual art, this dance extends the bodies' flesh spaces into architectural space as "a medium of experience", and one that reminds us of the inherent desire that space leverages to express power, labor, tenderness, and the promise of impermanence.

When I posted about Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer The Ancient Power yesterday, I didn't really feel like my pictures were doing this polish justice. Maybe it's just me being overly critical after a really busy few weeks, but I wanted another chance to show you this beauty while it's still available! I decided to add some quick stamping and show you how nicely The Ancient Power pairs with silver.
To get this look, I started with a base of Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer The Ancient Power and then stamped using Powder Perfect Silver Stamping Polish and an image from Moyou plate Tumblr Girl Collection 08.
I've been wanting to use this plate, it has some great images! This is the first time I've used it and I'm very happy with how it stamps. I also really liked how the blue and silver looked together.
If you'd still like to get The Ancient Power, you'd better hurry – it's only available for about another 2 hours from now on the Polish Pickup site. If you've missed it, be sure to join the Polish Pickup Pack Facebook group to stay aware of when the sales are and what products will be available.
I've been wearing this manicure for days – mostly due to the end-of-semester rush I'm going through right now – but I'm honestly still enjoying it! It's a really pretty combination.
Did you manage to scoop up The Ancient Power?


Mosasaurs were the largest lizards that ever evolved and attained lengths of almost 60 feet with a skull 6 foot long! The Mosasaur was a powerful swimmer who spent its entire life in the sea. Mosasaurs had long and powerful bodies whose tails and limbs were adapted for swimming. They probably swam by moving their long body in a snake-like way, also using their finned tail to propel them forwards. They steered with small, webbed feet. These reptiles lived during the latter part of the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic Era (from about 96 million years ago to about 65 million years ago) Mosasaurs were carnivores eating fish, sea urchins, turtles, and shellfish. They lived at the same time as many of the dinosaurs, and like the dinosaurs became extinct during the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction.

Interview with John Wood: Providing education for all, an "attainable solution"
The head of education ONG Room to Read spoke to MIPBlog ahead of his participation in April 10's UN Education First event
By James Martin on	 April 8, 2013 0 Comments
MIPBlog: Room to Read's story began in 1998. What would you say its three greatest achievements have been since?
John Wood: The seed for Room to Read was planted in 1998 when I took a much-needed vacation from my rewarding but challenging job at Microsoft to trek in the Himalayas in Nepal. Completely by chance, I met a Nepalese education officer while hiking one day and he invited me to visit a school in a neighbouring village. While at the school, I was introduced to the headmaster, who offered a tour. After visiting the classrooms, he showed me the library, which was just an empty room with a selection of books so scarce and precious they had to be locked away in a cabinet. The books appeared to be backpacker castoffs, completely inaccessible both physically and intellectually to the children they were intended for. There were about 450 students at the school, but no children's books. That seemed like a lost opportunity to me so I vowed to help the school set up a functioning library. One year later, I returned to the school with 3,000 books on the backs of six rented donkeys.
The response was overwhelming and was a turning point in my life. In 2000, Room to Read was founded and our scope has grown ever since, as we recognised specific needs in the communities we serve. The one thing I'm most proud of is that in just thirteen years, Room to Read has opened over six times more libraries than my hero Andrew Carnegie did in his lifetime; we have established 15,000 libraries, with many more on the horizon.
To date, our work has impacted the lives of over seven million children, we've distributed 12 million books worldwide, including the publication of over 850 original children's book titles in over 25 local languages, and have supported more than 20,000 girls to succeed in secondary school and beyond. Room to Read has scaled beyond our wildest dreams, and we've only reached the tip of the iceberg. Our goal is to reach 10 million kids by the year 2015.
> Why did Room to Read agree to get involved in the UN's Global Education First initiative?
Our mission is very much aligned with the values and goals of Education First – we are all very passionate about and committed to providing education to children on a global scale. Gordon Brown and I discussed his new role soon after he was named United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education, and during that meeting he invited me to partner with him at several key forums where global education would be discussed.
One of the goals of the initiative is to spur a global movement for education to be high quality, relevant and transformative; and those elements are woven into the fabric of Room to Read's programmes. We started our local language book publishing programme to ensure the books we provide for children will inspire them to read, expand their minds, and develop a lifelong love for reading and learning. They are written in local languages such as Kiswahili and Tamil and are illustrated by local artists in the countries where we work. Room to Read's primary contribution to the Education First Initiative is to continue to be an impactful implementation partner that is transforming the lives of children through the gift of education.
> What would your key message be to MIPTV-goers (TV and entertainment companies) looking to use their content to help the underprivileged?
The power of the media can result in global movements that empower societies all over the world to unite and call for change. Awareness-raising resources as powerful as broadcast television must champion global education in an accessible and high-profile manner that inspires action. For example, Room to Read was recently one of nine NGO's featured in 10×10's film called Girl Rising, now in US cinemas, and soon to be broadcast on CNN in June. In October, we were honoured to be featured in the Half the Sky Movement documentary on PBS, based on the best-selling book by New York Times journalist Nick Kristof and his wife Sheryl WuDunn. Both of these projects use media to shine a light on the complex issues women and girls face around the world in a way that underscores not the daunting challenge but the attainable solution that we can all be a part of.
> What do you hope Room to Read and the Global Education First initiative achieve in the near future?
I want the next generation to live in a world where every child has access to a quality education. The premise that a child is told that he or she was born at the wrong place at the wrong time and therefore did not get educated belongs in the scrap heap of human history. I believe it is Room to Read's responsibility to put it there. My hope is that the collective voices of all partners of the Education First Initiative and all those that believe in its mission are heard and the world's attention is turned to this pressing issue until the disparities in education are eradicated.

Q: "On aisle two" vs. "in aisle two" In supermarkets in the United States, I tend to hear this often:

Cleanup on aisle two [or some other number].

Would in be as good as on?  How is in different from on in this context?

A: I've heard both used.  I think it just depends on whether you consider the aisle to be a place in need of cleanup ('in aisle two') or a surface in need of cleanup ('on aisle two').
This NGram shows that 'in aisle' is actually used more frequently than 'on aisle' in general, though that isn't limited to just the 'cleanup' usage.

A: In would be as good as on. The way in which they differ in this context is nothing more than a convention that people say on more often than in:

[ "cleanup on aisle" ] About 679,000 results (0.22 seconds)
[ "cleanup in aisle" ] About 255,000 results (0.37 seconds)
  —Google Search

This is like asking if "Happy Christmas and Merry New Year" would be as good as "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year". Sure it would. It's just not what people say.
It occurs to me that this is not a practical question based on an actual problem. In its essence, this is a question about something that nobody does. There is nothing to be explained here.

A: Probably "on" is most common because it makes the most sense, semantically, if you think about aisles in a grocery. An aisle being a passage, items aren't placed "inside" of one because there is no inside; an aisle is an open space by definition.
"Cleanup needed on aisle 3."
"The milk is on aisle 3."
These sound most natural because the shelves and products occupy and also serve as the boundaries of each aisle.


SAN FRANCISCO — In a direct and unequivocal editorial, the San Francisco Chronicle came out in opposition to Proposition 60, the adult film initiative which would allow private citizens to sue adult performers when a condom isn't visible.
The initiative, however well intended, does not fully reflect the realities of the industry. Condoms can break during extended movie sessions. Performers can spread a number of diseases even with such protection. The industry requires testing of actors for HIV and most STDs every 14 days. The emergence of the HIV-prevention drug PrEP can greatly reduce the chance of infection.
This is a job for state regulators, not a narrow mandate through the initiative process. Vote no on Prop. 60.
Eric Paul Leue, Executive Director of the Free Speech Coalition, praised the Chronicle for seeing through the fear-mongering and anti-performer language of the initiative .
The San Francisco Chronicle joins the San Jose Mercury News and the East Bay Times in opposing Prop 60, as well as all major state parties and numerous public health and civil rights organizations.
The full editorial can be read here.


Making up a Christmas Eve bag was a tradition which we started last year. Many people have boxes but I bought some lovely small sacks from Bump n Babe with the boys names on, which are great to double up as Santa sacks too. J wasn't too fussed last year and stopped as soon he found the edible things, but I'm hoping he'll be more interested this year! Obviously N won't have a clue though, but I'm sure J will help him. Buddy will be bringing them this year, for his final gift before he heads back to the North Pole.
So what's inside them? With N being younger and only still a baby, he doesn't have as much as J; also J had our Santa key in his last year but it won't be this year as it's for both of them (and me).
reindeer food (for Rudolph and his pals of course).
Buddy will also be leaving them a letter with the bags to say goodbye and how much fun he's had. I can't wait until Christmas Eve!
Do you do Christmas Eve bags/boxes? What do you put in them?


Over to the dark side this year, with two stunning debuts, a chilling psychological twister and a spooky supernatural tale for children.
Hunting Shadows by Sheila Bugler (Brandon 2013) is already attracting praise from major crime writers, Ken Bruen and Cathi Unsworth.
Winner of Undiscovered Voices 2012, Sandra Greaves The Skull In the Wood is a nail-biting ghost story set on Dartmoor.
Also highly recommended is Elisabeth Gifford's evocative debut Secrets of the Sea House.


There are a limited amount of show posters from my Birds in Hats / 戴帽飛禽 exhibition in Taipei, March - April 2019, available to purchase.
Posters are printed A3, on a good quality matte poster stock.

      </CollectionView.ItemTemplate>

    </CollectionView>
  </StackLayout>
</ContentPage>

And here's some code-behind:
namespace varlist
{
  [XamlCompilation(XamlCompilationOptions.Compile)]
  public partial class CollectionPage : ContentPage
  {
    public ObservableCollection<NodeData> nodes = new ObservableCollection<NodeData>();

    public CollectionPage ()
    {
      InitializeComponent ();

      nodes.Add (new ImageData { FileName = "image_chair_pk.jpg" });
      ...
      DetailGrid.ItemsSource = nodes;
    }
  }
}

A: I got the same error with you when I use a Xamarin.forms version 4.5.0.725.
After I update my Xamarin.forms to the latest version 4.8.0.1687, everything works well.
Please update your Xamarin.forms version to fix this problem:

A: I found a workaround. This appears to be a framework bug.
According to Xamarin.Forms CollectionView Layout the syntax I used should work - and it does work for UWP.
They also show an alternate declaration to specify ItemsLayout:
<CollectionView.ItemsLayout>
  <GridItemsLayout Orientation="Vertical" Span="2" />
</CollectionView.ItemsLayout>

And, this syntax works on Android.
I filed a bug on github:[Bug] CollectionView with ItemsLayout=VerticalGrid crashes on Android #12920

A: You can omit this property if you wish it vertical, the default is set to VerticalList. If you want your collectionView to be Horizontal, just use HorizontalList.

Each year. the Toy Retailers Association helpfully gives a list of the top 72 toys it feels are headed for glory come Christmas Day, including toys for all ages, tech, classic or brand spanking new.
Topping this years extensive list in the coveted top twelve was a remix of an old family favorite, the Bop It Beats by Hasbro. It may drive you insane, but Bop It remains that toy that everyone wants to master. To keep it fresh for new audiences, the Bop It Beats looks just like a mixing deck and has five game modes to choose from. As usual, it commands you to do something and gets faster each time. Selling at £21.99 its at the lower end of the price scale too.
It was no surprise that near on every stall had something to do with big hit movie, Frozen. From dolls at Mattell, to costumes, and games, Frozen will no doubt be the most popular girls toy of this Christmas, and no doubt well into next year too. Whatever age you are buying for, there was something to capture the imagination.
love down to him being able to carry drinks, move on a 360 degree angle and do cool stuff on your phone, to Gadget watches from Vtech (which I want myself, they are seriously the coolest thing I have ever seen) there were toys a plenty which lit up, sang, danced and did everything but go to school for the kid that is bought them.
Even Baby Annabell, one of the best early days tech toys has had a makeover, and now, just like a real baby she walks and crawls too. The doll is so life like its unbelieveable and I was very impressed with how user friendly a doll which does so much is for little fingers.
For the boys, look no further than the relaunched and revamped Turtles. They're back and tipped to be popular all over again, incorporating not just the collectible and highly detailed figures for older kids but also a more pre-schooler friendly chunky version too.
One thing Littlest loved was the inexpensive Robbo Fish. For £9.99, these little toys look cool and are engaging to younger kids. Simply place them in water (like the bath or your fish tank) and they will happily swim around just like a real fish.
So, on your list this year, be sure to add Frozen, anything Tech, and be prepared to spend money on some toys which will not fail to impress well into the New Year.

"I did not expect this, I arrived from Dublin where I was visiting a friend. I like to travel and I will gladly use my prize," said Ravnjak, who was gifted with a gift voucher for the Duty Free Shop at the Zagreb Airport and two return tickets to any Croatia Airlines destination.
The airport was a winner this year in the category of European Airports at the World Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Awards.

Shanghai is the biggest city in China with 23 million inhabitants.
We created two routes through Shanghai.
Route with choices through Pudong (business district).
The business district Pudong is known for its incredibly high buildings. During this bike route you can explore all of Pudong and you will cycle past well known architectural buildings up to the foor of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. You will cycle past the Shanghai World Financial Centre, the Jin Mao Tower and the Shanghai Tower. If you take a left you can also see the globes of the Shanghai International Convention Center.
Route without choices through the old city. This route starts at the Bund, the promenade along the Huangpu river with the famous view on Pudong. From there you will cycle to the old city, with buildings in traditional Chinese style and small streets with little shops and lots of activity.
