Q: Is it obvious that $\mathbb Q(\sqrt 3+\sqrt 5)=\mathbb Q(\sqrt 3,\sqrt 5)$? Is it obvious that $\mathbb Q(\sqrt 3+\sqrt 5)=\mathbb Q(\sqrt 3,\sqrt 5)$ ? If not how can I show it ?

A: The first inclusion is obvious because $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{3},\sqrt{5})$
 is closed under addition. So $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{3}  +\sqrt{5}) \subseteq \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{3}  ,\sqrt{5})$.
To second inclusion observe that
$$(\sqrt{3}  +\sqrt{5})(\sqrt{3}  -\sqrt{5}) = 3 - 5 = -2 \Rightarrow \sqrt{5}  -\sqrt{3} = \frac{-2}{\sqrt{5}  +\sqrt{3}}$$
then $\sqrt{5}  -\sqrt{3} \in \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{3}  +\sqrt{5})$. Now use sum and subtraction to find that $\sqrt{3}, \sqrt{5} \in \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{3}  +\sqrt{5})$.
Can you take it from here?

A: It is obvious if the facts below are obvious:

*

*$\mathbb Q(\sqrt 3,\sqrt 5)$ has degree 4

*$\mathbb Q(\sqrt 3+\sqrt 5)$ has degree 4

*$\mathbb Q(\sqrt 3+\sqrt 5) \subseteq \mathbb Q(\sqrt 3,\sqrt 5)$
Of these, only the last one is really obvious.

A: $(\sqrt3+\sqrt 5)^2\in \mathbb Q(\sqrt 3+\sqrt  5)$
$\implies 8+2\sqrt3.\sqrt 5\in \mathbb Q(\sqrt 3+\sqrt  5)$
$\implies \sqrt3.\sqrt 5\in \mathbb Q(\sqrt 3+\sqrt  5)$
$\implies (\sqrt3+\sqrt 5).\sqrt3.\sqrt 5\in \mathbb Q(\sqrt 3+\sqrt  5)$
$\implies 3\sqrt 5+5\sqrt3\in \mathbb Q(\sqrt 3+\sqrt  5)$
$3(\sqrt3+\sqrt 5)\in \mathbb Q(\sqrt 3+\sqrt  5)$
$\implies 2\sqrt 3\in \mathbb Q(\sqrt 3+\sqrt  5)$
$\implies \sqrt 3\in \mathbb Q(\sqrt 3+\sqrt  5)$
similarly $\sqrt 5\in \mathbb Q(\sqrt 3+\sqrt  5)$
Thus $\mathbb Q(\sqrt 3+\sqrt  5)\subseteq \mathbb Q(\sqrt3,\sqrt5)$
The other part is obvious

The early harmattan breeze blew through the hairs on my skin as the sun was rising, I caught a glimpse of the city through the words calligraphically displayed at the entrance gate to the city. It reads the name of an ancient city, " Welcome to Gombe ". A city where I found jewels in the Savannah. I found myself enjoying the serenity of the environment. The city was a full moon in the dark night, filled with radiant brightness of calmness. The culture and hospitality of the people are unique. The first day in a city you have never been to will make you eager to see around the city and catch what it looks like. I arrived at the city early, when light had already approached darkness. It was a new place as this was my first visit to the city despite the proximity of my state with it. Cars and motorcycle screamed along the beautifully tarred roads in the city.

I was having a conversation with a friend recently about mentorship and I realized that some of us have the idea of a mentor screwed up such that even when we have one in our lives we are unable to recognize them. Let me buttress my point with a story. I met Ishaya Bako sometime in 2011, at Nicon Luxury Hotel in Abuja and I knew that we were going to work together. I was already learning by that time to trust my intuition. So I followed him on Twitter and later added him up on Facebook. Once in a while I'd tweet at him and he'd respond. So I told him that I look forward to us doing stuff together. One evening, he called to ask if I was in Abuja and free to see him the following day. Of course, I was. We met and he told me about a project that he wanted to work with me on. It was a TV series about the Nigerian Police Force, produced by Oliver Tambo. It was my first TV gig. He called to say that the producer loved the first episode that I sent in, so I was going to write

R.I.P. LinuxDevices… Long live LinuxGizmos!
Mar 9, 2013 — by Rick Lehrbaum — 10118 views
[Updated Dec 23] — In 2012, the embedded Linux market lost a valued resource when LinuxDevices.com became a collateral casualty of QuinStreet's acquisition of a group of websites from Ziff Davis Enterprise. Unfortunately the new owner had no interest in supporting the site, so LinuxDevices has lain dormant ever since the acquisition.
As the year wore on, a growing number of individuals and companies urged me (as the site's founder) to do something to get LinuxDevices back on its feet, or to launch a new site to fill the void.
Thanks to this encouragement, and recognizing that embedded Linux is not simply alive and well, but has been growing exponentially as the OS-of-choice for smartphones and numerous other embedded applications, I decided to launch a successor site.
Introducing LinuxGizmos.com
Like its forerunner, LinuxGizmos is devoted to the use of Linux in embedded and mobile devices and applications. The site's goal is to provide daily updates of news and information on embedded Linux distributions, application software, development tools, protocols, standards, and hardware of interest to technical, marketing, and management professionals in the embedded and mobile devices markets.
For example, some recent advances of embedded Linux over the past year have included…
Android reaching some 70 percent of the global smartphone market, while continuing to sneak up on the iPad in tablets
An explosion of new open Linux hardware projects, led by the phenomenally popular Raspberry Pi
The emergence of several promising new mobile Linux OSes, like Sailfish, Firefox OS, Tizen, and Ubuntu Touch
The increasing interest in Linux-based automotive computing solutions
The continuing expansion of Linux into consumer electronics, industrial control, networking equipment, digital signage, robotics, and more
Each LinuxGizmos post includes a comment area where readers can ask questions, voice their opinions, and engage in discussions on the topics covered. Additionally, members of the embedded Linux community are welcome to submit announcements, events, guest columns, and other content for publication on LinuxGizmos.com (subject to the site's editorial policies).
R.I.P. LinuxDevices.com… Long live LinuxGizmos.com!
— Rick Lehrbaum, publisher
But wait! There's more…
LinuxDevices Archive now hosted at LinuxGizmos
We are pleased to announce that QuinStreet generously offered to license LinuxGizmos.com to host the LinuxDevices Archive, as a "holiday present to the Linux community" in December 2013. As a result, nearly 15,000 news items and special articles and editorials originally published by LinuxDevices.com are now available for browsing in our LinuxDevices Archive. The Archive is searchable and also available from a calendar interface, so you can click on any month of any year between 1999 and 2012 and see what pops up.

Charleston County School District » Divisions » Strategy and Communications » Press Room » CCSD Lead Stories » 2013-2014 Lead Stories » Students Excel in Summer Programs 7/03/2013
Lead Story - July 3, 2013
Charleston County School District (CCSD) is committed to stimulating the minds of young scholars and artists with educational and performance based summer programs. For the past three weeks, students from around the district participated in the SMAART (Students Mastering the Academic ARTs) and SAIL (Students Actively Involved in Learning) enrichment programs. Designed to increase student interest and competence in a hands-on environment, both SMAART and SAIL programs brought to life students' curiosity. Over 600 particpants were provided with opportunities to study the arts and academic content using creativity and ingenuity in collaborative projects. In just a short period of time, students from across the district formed lasting bonds with each other.
"SMAART is CCSD's premier Artistically Gifted and Talented program. Through this program, students receive 120 hours of rigorous artistic trainingculminating in a day of performances and art exhibits. These experiences help to develop higher level thinking skills, problem solving, and the discipline necessary to be successful in the 21st century global economy," said James Braunreuther, fine arts director. SMAART classes included Hip Pop a Capella Chorus, Percussion Playground, Steel Drum Band, Musical Drama, Different Cultures One World, SMAART-Alec Singers, Power Guitar, Dance Fusion, Movin' to the Streets along with other musical and visual art compositions. Striking all the right notes in a closing concert, National PTA Reflections winner, Vaibhav Mohanty led the Honors Band with his original work.
The SAIL program offered thought-provoking and enlightening opportunities for students to excel in academics. They engineered and built mock solar powered schools, studied cultures from around the world, became playwrights, designed publications, and created video games to enhance math skills. Parents packed the School of the Arts campus and Rose Marie Meyers Theater in support of all of the performances. Bryan Fisher was proud to watch his son perform live. "It's exciting to have Nick in the program. He has learned so much this summer," Fisher said.
The exhibition and concert were not the only program finales. Only having three weeks to learn songs, an entire script, and choreography, SMAART theater students performed a rendition of the 1984 classic, Footloose. Full of vibrant energy, the cast entertained the audience and received a standing ovation. "I loved when the cast broke out into the song Hero. This is awesome and so much fun," commented theater goer Kristin Strottler. Fourth through seventh grade SMAART students designed, built, and painted the show's set. Musical accompaniment was provided by SMAART musicians and college student volunteers. Considering students only had 15 days to rehearse and put on a full show – the results were remarkable to say the least.
"This year's summer enrichment programs continued to challenge the minds of our children. The summer SAIL program provided an opportunity for students to accelerate in learning with research and a higher level of thinking in a cooperative and fun atmosphere. SMAART supplied students with discipline in various art forms through interaction with others who had similar artistic abilities," said superintendent McGinley. "I am proud of the hard work of these participants, and I applaud our staff members, volunteers and community supporters who make it all come together each year," she commented.

Films: N is for...
No.1 of the Secret Service
In 1976 James Bond was at the centre of a high-profile legal battle between franchise owner Cubby Broccoli and writer Kevin McClory, who'd co-written Thunderball with Ian Fleming, and wanted to film his own version of the novel as James Bond of the Secret Service. Broccoli blocked the project (it eventually became Never Say Never Again) but the hoo-hah gave Shonteff the impetus to revive his MI5 muse. This was the result, with dashing Nicky Henson as Charles Bind, protecting the world's top bankers from assassination with an orgy of showy gun twirling and blokey bum pinching. The violence levels were upped, rather nifty cod-blaxploitation theme tune 'Givin' it Plenty' was slapped on, Jon Pertwee picked up a day's work linking scenes on a very red GPO telephone as the Reverend Walter Braithwaite, and Shonteff made enough on his meagre outlay to justify a sequel, The Man from SEX (1979) featuring Gareth Hunt and Space 1999's Nick Tate in a very vague plot involving cloned world leaders.

A D&D Pipe Dream
Reading @SarahDarkmagic's latest post, named Recently Initiated Loud Mouth, made me think of the pipe dream I had after Unearthed Arcana came out for D&D 3.5e. So instead of rambling on in a comment over there, I'll clutter up my own corner of the 'Net with it. Yes, it will require some work. Yes, it will be a different approach to D&D, and it may well be unpopular. But I'll tell you anyway because I like you.
Personalized Rulesets.
Centralize and digitize the rules, then let GMs pick the rules they want to include in their games. No elves? No problem! Uncheck the box and they're gone. Want inherent bonuses to avoid the magic item glut? Click and done. Alternate hit point and healing rules? You've got 3 options, go crazy. After the GM is done selecting rules, an email goes out to the players with a link to the character builder pre-loaded with campaign-specific options and ready to print or save as a file to use on other campaign-planning sites. Also, the GM can download a PDF of the hyperlink-riddled Rules Handbook for that particular campaign, complete with simple personalization like the campaign name in the header of each page.
As new rules come out, add them to the list of options, but they won't change any existing Rules Handbooks. You could offer "pre-set" rule choices so if you wanted a bare-bones Starter Box game or a Dark Sun game, one click would get you the rules as written which you could then customize. You could even extend this idea to allow sections of user-generated house rules inserted into specific locations within the PDF. If the author wishes to share his house rules with specific fellow GMs or even with the whole community, that's as easy as clicking a button.
For the publisher, this gives incredible insight into what rules and settings are popular, and so what products would be well received. For an enthusiastic fan base who create House Rules, the community can "vote up" a particular house rule by using it in their campaign. The publisher would have access to the house rule usage stats and provide a convenient stable of new rules and content authors. The publisher could approach the author of the house rule to develop the rule further to make it an official rules option through the rules site or develop it as a full-blown adventure or setting supplement.
Truth be told, I'm a systems guy. I love tinkering with how the world operates and then turning the players loose to figure out how the world works. I view rulesets as toolboxes, as ways to express the stories and scenes I have in my head. This approach would be the ultimate toolbox. You could cover the gamut from extremely rules-light Blue Book D&D to really crunchy settings like Birthright or Dark Sun with a click and a printout.
Further, it moves the rules from static book form to a digital format from the ground up. Integration with tablets and smartphones would be easy with a smart enough API. Granted, no core rulebooks other than the Rules Handbooks the GM prints means no aftermarket for used core products, which makes me a little sad. But I think the freedom granted to GMs more than makes up for it.
What do you think about this approach? Too radical? Too practical? Like it? Hate it? Do you want your five minutes back?

Its an interesting idea. Basically you're looking at a web application that works as a wizard geared towards a print on demand operation. Back in the day there were several attempts to create an XML d20. As far as I know none of them got off the ground enough to do anything useful but they'd make for a good data source for this kind of application.
There was a manual version of just this sort of thing in the Mutants and Mastermind's Mastermind Manual (try saying that 3 times fast) where you could check off which of the optional rules you were using. I used that check list for my Paragons of Freedom game but I don't remember if I ever showed it to my players.
At this point I don't know that you could ever integrate that into D&D or Pathfinder but it'd be interesting to see an smaller game developer take that approach for say a revival of True20 or the d6 System.
Sully Thu Jun 30, 09:10:00 AM
Love it! Great ideas there. Simple, great way to encourage community involvement deep in the development of the system while giving WotC a lot of honest feedback about how the system is actually being used.
Although, to be honest, I would miss getting books from my FLGS. That's the kicker for me. I want to support those guys, too.
Marshall Smith Thu Jun 30, 09:27:00 AM
On the bare surface, this a phenomenal idea. I've had similar thoughts in the past.
When you start getting into particulars, though, it gets stickier. You would need to build the system to be even more modular than d20. Balancing the system as a whole would either be extremely tricky, or totally thrown out the window.
The implementation of this would require an interactive system that, honestly, is still a few years away from being really practical. Probably longer than that with the IT resources of most game developers. While it is technically possible with current technology, it would not be easy. After all, you aren't simply talking about stringing together a bunch of text blocks. You need to be able to swap chunks of text in and out in the middle of sentences without disturbing the grammar and readability.
I think that we are likely to see something like this eventually. But, not soon. And, I will be very curious to see what happens to the social structure around it. (As the recent fourthcore developments demonstrated, D&D already has severe issues with a fragmented fanbase.)
Jim White Thu Jun 30, 10:30:00 AM
@DarkTouch: Unearthed Arcana in 3e had a checklist to use as well. Which was good since they provided a couple of options to modify hit points and healing.
Basic d20 or 4e would be a monumental effort, but True20 has potential. Great idea! It's a smaller ruleset to start with, anyway. And once the data structures are in place, swapping the data to support a different game system should be slightly easier, or at least easier to release for editing and playtesting. Hm...
@Sully: The publisher could release several versions of the base rules as dead tree books, plus all the campaign setting and fluff would be in setting books and supplements. I could see sections of "If you want to use the rules for Foo, you can apply them here and here" in supplements to give GMs ideas on how to extend the base setting. I love books too. I don't think they would go away under this system, just change their content and print run.
@Marshall: It's tremendously sticky to implement, especially for a big ruleset like D&D. The logic needed to swap individual sentences or words based on user input would be a tough nut to crack, especially if house rules were to open up to that level of customization. I think you're right. It's doable, but more effort than can be afforded by anyone in the industry at the moment.
I'm curious about how something like this would be received in the wider community as well. There would be complaints as with anything new in gaming ("You're forcing me to subscribe to DDI, so I'm leaving!"), but I think it would remove some of the 4e/Essentials style friction since officially-sanctioned rulesets can be compatible given strong publisher presence and community playtesting. Though with user-generated house rules, all compatibility bets are off...

Dec 10 Action Highlight In TruthOut: Combating the Climate Counterrevolution in Paris
TruthOut Highlighted It Takes Roots Delegation's December 10 Human Rights Day Action at the Peace Wall, and spoke to Jihan Gearon, one of our delegates: "…here have also been strongly led by people of color working to center environmental justice issues and calling out environmental racism, especially Indigenous peoples protesting the omission of Indigenous rights from the accord.
A lot of the most pristine, biodiverse places that exist now are because Indigenous people live there; they protect those areas," said Jihan Gearon, who is Diné, from the Navajo Nation in Arizona. She is the executive director of the Black Mesa Water Coalition, a part of the Indigenous Environmental Network. "And if the UN doesn't protect us, then those places are just going to go away."

Art of Resistance: It Takes Roots
Activist art creation at the #COP21 resistance was central to the people-led mobilizations outside Le Bourget. Everyday artivists gather to create art in a warehouse near the Alternatibas' Global Village. The artspace changes every day. Clotheslines run through the place on exposed ceilings. Plastic tarp covers the floor with slogans that had been printed on cloth and dried. The overarching color is red, because of another organization's slogan of a red line against climate change – a red line against carbon emissions.
People make tables out of saw horses and plywood. Art is strewn everywhere, with slogans like "Keep it in the Ground" and "Climate change is Climate Violence".
It Takes Roots' art table drew a lot of appreciation. One of our members, Arty, developed 10 placards of the things we are fighting: genocide, patriarchy, false solutions, fracking, GMOs, environmental racism, pollution, poverty, Obama, and more.
In the art space, the delegation developed the main messaging: It ta
kes roots to weather the storm. The storm is all the bad ideas at the #COP21. The extreme climate conditions, militarism, war, racism. This is the storm frontline communities weather through roots. We are the roots. We are the representatives of our root communities resisting the storm. We have been called to plant the seeds for the next generation, to stop the #COP21 and all the apparatuses of exploitation. The deep resistance rises up to say: this our planet, for the people; not just for a few.
This gave rise to embodying this powerful metaphor through visuals and song. The first act will be the storm that is blocking the peace; the placards that Arty designed. The second act is our resistance, our struggle and tearing the placards down. Then, the delegation will come out and sow the seeds of a just transition, women leadership, keeping the fossil fuel in the ground, the wisdom of frontline communities being heard and made the law of the land. The final act is a joyous celebration of sunflowers and all our people dancing, chanting, celebrating that we are the ones we have been waiting for.
It was exhilarating to have everyone at the art space for the dress rehearsal. Other artists stopped what they were doing and watched our street theater; they clapped and chanted with us, they wanted to join us. The action is strong in its critique and solution and is deeply inspiring to all who watch it. It is an act of defiance. And speak, and shout we will tomorrow and every day, until the world is at it should be.

(Paris, FRANCE) Grassroots leaders from climate-impacted communities in the US rallied at the Paris Peace Wall to denounce the role of the US delegation for a legacy of environmental racism and in undermining the possibility for genuine climate justice coming out of Paris COP21 accord. Over 350 people participated in an action in front of the Peace Wall in Paris, a venue chosen to symbolically challenge the grave and violent implications of the current COP21 Agreement. Massive banners, signs, fierce chanting, singing, and street theatre marked the It Takes Roots delegation-led action for Human Rights Day.
"Here in Paris, as with every COP before now, we see the role of the US in holding back any efforts at real mandatory emissions cuts, and accepting true historic and current responsibility as a leading greenhouse gas emitter. The US has been leading other member states in a strategy of pollution trading that allows big oil to continue to pollute our communities and also threatens the livelihoods of indigenous communities from the Global North to the Global South. The decisions coming out of COP21 will lead to massive violations of human rights and the rights of indigenous peoples," read Edgar Franx, from the It Takes Roots statement to Obama on Human Rights Day.
"The prosperity of fossil-fueled societies has been built on the backs of historically marginalized communities: Indigenous Peoples, coal miners, fisherfolk, working class communities across the world — all of whom have paid the price of our "cheap fuels" and will suffer the consequences of global climate chaos disproportionately. Solutions that protect the welfare and rights of these communities will prove more durable, more equitable, and safer – for all of us. Indeed, on December 10 Human Rights day, there can be no better demand of COP21 – to be accountable to all people," noted Dallas Goldtooth, with the Indigenous Environmental Network, and an It Takes Roots delegate.
Representatives from Indigenous, Black, Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander organizations have united under the banner, It Takes Roots to Weather the Storm, representing communities living alongside fracking wells, coal power plants, and oil refineries and already facing the worst impacts of the climate crisis.
Today's peace action called out the US and other countries of the Global North whose invasive foreign policies have played a large role in the current devastating and vicious refugee crises, conflicts, and resource wars due to land grabs and displacement triggered by neoliberal globalization.

Dec 9 Migrant Justice Action Update: Over 200 Activists March In Solidarity
On Wednesday, December 9, nearly 200 grassroots activists converged and marched, chanted, and sang with colorful banners, posters and outside the Vincennes detention center in Paris where several immigrants are illegally detained by the French government.
The Vincennes detention center where grassroots communities gathered is of particular significance, as it was the site of an historic uprising after the death of a Tunisian man while in custody in 2008. This uprising brought national attention to the inhumane treatment of migrants and refugees in detention in Paris.
It Takes Roots delegates organized and participated in this march in solidarity with thousands of impacted refugees and migrants, detained by the French government. Local community leaders and activists working at the intersections of migrant and refugee rights joined our delegation.
This action was in solidarity with refugees fleeing situations of grave conflict, and made vital connections between migrant rights, Indigenous rights, gender equality, and climate change. Check out a few photos from our action today below and visit our photos page for more visual updates.
Key spokespeople at the march highlighted how social and environmental justice are deeply linked, and the largely US delegation expressed their solidarity with migrant rights, especially activists working with immigrant communities along the US-Mexico border, and Indigenous activists, who highlighted how colonialism is not really dead, but alive in new and dangerous ways.

Vermont Workers: System Change, Not Climate Change
Shela Liton and Senowa Mize-Fox, representatives of the Vermont Workers Center in Brattleboro and Burlington, are also attending the Paris climate talks. Linton and Mize-Fox are part of the 100-plus person delegation called "It Takes Roots to Weather the Storm," a collection of grassroots leaders from dozens of communities in the U.S. and Canada that have been impacted by climate change.
"From Paris to Montpelier, we're seeing politicians push false solutions to climate change like fracking and carbon trading," Mize-Fox said in a news release. "We need to recognize the leadership and strategies coming from social movements at the grassroots, who understand the interconnections between racial, gender, economic and climate justice and are calling for system change, not climate change."

Cindy Wiesner Calls Out Tax Havens On The Nation
Activists carried 196 office chairs through the square facing the Montreuil city hall—chairs that had been "liberated" from banks throughout France. "These chairs were requisitioned to reveal the links between the tax evasion practiced by big banks and the lack of funding needed against climate change, particularly the $100 billion a year for adaptation that wealthy countries have promised poor countries but that has been blocked by financial elites," said Cindy Wiesner of the Grassroots Global Justice Alliance. "Thirty trillion dollars disappears every year into the black hole of tax havens that these banks control, tax havens that benefit criminals and murderers—drug cartels, gun traffickers, and the banks themselves. These 196 chairs represent the 196 countries whose people deserve a seat at the table for a just global economy."

It Takes Roots Delegate Member Brandon King: We Must Build Our Power
Within the high-stress, low-waste frenzy of the 21st Conference of Parties, or COP21, there are around 100 organizers from the frontlines of the climate crisis and energy extraction in North America. Drawn from the Navajo Nation, the Appalachian Mountains, Harlem and elsewhere, the It Takes Roots delegation is a joint venture of the Grassroots Global Justice Alliance, Indigenous Environmental Network and the Climate Justice Alliance. Its members — some inside and some outside of official UN proceedings — are engaged in a range of efforts back home both against fossil fuel extraction and for the development of community-owned alternatives, as well as a wider-reaching "just transition" away from what they call an extractive economy.

World Leaders Refuse to Acknowledge The Need to End Fossil Fuels
The United Nations climate negotiations, known as COP 21, is underway in Paris. Its goal is to produce a binding global climate agreement that would limit the rise in global average temperature to 2 degrees Celsius. Activists have staged mass sit-ins all over the globe to protest the participation of corporate polluters in the climate talks, and to elevate the voice of civil society. But what exactly are various groups in civil society proposing as an alternative? Here to help answer this question are our two guests: Anjali Appadurai and Kali Akuno. Anjali is an activist currently at COP 21 talks in Paris, and Kali Akuno is the co-director of Cooperation Jackson.

On Human Rights Day, US Impacted Communities Protest at Paris Peace Wall: COP21 Agreement is a Crime Against Humanity and Nature
On Dec 10, International Human Day, a broad coalition of impacted communities will gather for a street theater protest at the Peace Wall in Paris calling on the US delegation to reject false solutions that are the basis of the COP21 agreement.
Representatives from Indigenous, Black, Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander organizations have united under the banner, It Takes Roots to Weather the Storm, representing communities living alongside fracking wells, coal power plants, and oil refineries and already facing the worst impacts of the climate crisis. "The US delegation has been leading other member states in a strategy of pollution trading that allows big oil to continue to pollute our communities and also threatens the livelihood of indigenous communities across the Global South. On both fronts, COP21 will lead to massive human rights violations."
The three-pronged action includes performances with powerful visual metaphors of roots, storm and seeds. This action-performance will illustrate the current, global spiral towards environmental and economic destruction, while shining a light on the resilience of climate change impacted communities that are resisting these devastations head on. The action will highlight how it is also these very marginalized communities who are coming up with the real, alternative solutions that can simultaneously rebuild economies through alternative models like just transition, cooperative systems, collective ownership, etc. while restoring essential ecological balance.
"We are deeply concerned at President Obama's failure to model authentic leadership in the global arena, and appalled by the glaring contradictions between his moving speech and actual action. The US has been leading the model of voluntary emission cuts, carbon market loopholes, and false solutions. We refuse to accept that," said Brandon King of the It Takes Roots Delegation.
The Protesters chose the peace wall to also call attention to rising US militarism, resource wars and global conflicts. Representatives from Iraq Veterans Against the War will lift a large "No War, No Warming" banner in protest of the escalating bombing of the Middle East.

Second screen" TV viewing is a term we're hearing a lot about these days. And Interapt is excited to be helping define the second screen concept for tablet and mobile phone users.
Second screen is where you use a tablet or smartphone while you're watching TV. The device is then usually used to interact with whatever you're watching. You could be using an app like the one we developed for WKRN in Nashville, TN, finding more information about stories during news broadcasts, or participating in surveys and polls. If you've ever watched a DVD's extras, like bloopers, commentary, deleted scenes, and interviews, you already know what extra content can look like. Only now it's on a different device.
Our apps enable communities to provide feedback and have their opinions heard. We don't want the second screen technology disrupting a broadcast; rather, we want it complementing the broadcast. An example of the type of work we can do would be if we were to gamify the watching of a Tide commercial, by inserting a 10-second game, with the winners getting a free sample of Tide. This is the type of innovation that may encourage people to actually watch commercials and stay in their seats during commercial breaks.
Interapt builds systems like this for live TV, but those who want to see archived viewer comments—such as comments on a 5 p.m. newscast later in the evening–can certainly do so online.
A great example of smart use of second screen technology is HBOGo. For example, while viewers are watching a program like Game of Thrones, viewers can unlock maps or read secondary, and ancillary character information while the program is live. They also have the option of getting this information offline in between shows to fuel fan interest for the live show and social media discussions in between airings.
With second screen apps, the possibilities are endless whether you're a nationally televised cable TV series, or an advertiser in a local market. We believe the future holds so much promise — TV is about to get even more entertaining and rewarding for viewers, provide greater revenues for stations and offer greater advantages for advertisers.


Another great food option. Sushi and seafood specialty but plenty of options for meat eaters.
One of my favourite restaurants. If you love seafood, you should try it!
Great seafood and other specialities, open for lunch and dinner.
The seafood is great. Large selection and waterfront location.
Good meals, Seafood trawlers & baskets for up to 6, Ocean view, pub attached.


Q. Where can I access the NIH Human Subjects testing website?
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Protecting Human Research Participants on-line tutorial requires registration through the NIH Office of Extramural Research.


A new species of tiny frog in the Brachycephalus genus was discovered in the Santo Anjo Hill, in Massaranduba, northern Santa Catarina. Named Brachycephalus mirissimus, its size varies from 10-13 milimeters (close to the size of a fingernail), and it catches the eye with its colors, as well as a rounded white spot on its head.
The tiny frog is among the smallest vertebrates in the world. This feature is due to an evolutionary process called miniaturization, which grants the species a strategic advantage to survive the mountainous conditions. "Furthermore, as they live in steep and moist locations, but without large bodies of water, during evolution these mountain frogs have also developed another particular characteristic: they do not go through a tadpole stage," says Luiz Fernando Ribeiro, researcher for the Mater Natura Institute for Environmental Studies.
Within five years, 15 species of tiny frogs were discovered by the Mater Natura project, supported by the Boticário Group Foundation. According to Emerson Antônio de Oliveira, Science and Conservation coordinator at the Foundation, discoveries such as this reaffirm the importance of nature preservation for maintaining species. "Currently, the Atlantic Rainforest has less than 8% of its original coverage. Each discovery is another step to advocate biodiversity conservation so that these species do not disappear," he highlights.

Q: Reading a sensor register using SMBus / I2C I have a problem while reading the my lsm9ds1 accelerator sensor registers. It always displays the same values.
My setup is a Raspberry Pi 4 and the Sense HAT which has this sensor integrated. I don't want to use the Sense HAT library but use the python3-smbus library to better understand I2C.
The registers I want to read from are OUT_X_XL, OUT_Y_XL and OUT_Z_XL which return linear values expressed as a 16-bit word in two's complement. Here is the Datasheet. I tried to convert them with two different functions I found, but got both times an error so I just wanted to see if there just would be a change if I move the sensor around.
Here is my output:
Complements Register 1 X: 221 Y: 59  Z: 254
Complements Register 2 X: 104 Y: 146  Z: 112
Complements Register 1 X: 221 Y: 59  Z: 254
Complements Register 2 X: 104 Y: 146  Z: 112

Do I have to do something different with the values or should I read the register differently? Preferably I would also like the values to be something close to float values what you would expect from an acceleration sensor. Any help is very appreciated.
Here is my code:
from smbus import SMBus
import time

i2c_adress = 0x1c # DEVICE ACCELEROMETER

# DEFINITION OF REGISTERS
OUT_X_XL1 = 0x28   # linear acceleration sensor output registers
OUT_X_XL2 = 0x29
OUT_Y_XL1 = 0x2A
OUT_Y_XL2 = 0x2B
OUT_Z_XL1 = 0x2C
OUT_Z_XL2 = 0x2D

def main():
    while (True):
        i2cbus = SMBus(1) # Create new I2C bus
        comp_acc_x2 = i2cbus.read_byte_data(i2c_adress, OUT_X_XL2)
        comp_acc_y2 = i2cbus.read_byte_data(i2c_adress, OUT_Y_XL2)
        comp_acc_z2 = i2cbus.read_byte_data(i2c_adress, OUT_Z_XL2)

        comp_acc_x1 = i2cbus.read_byte_data(i2c_adress, OUT_X_XL1)
        comp_acc_y1 = i2cbus.read_byte_data(i2c_adress, OUT_Y_XL1)
        comp_acc_z1 = i2cbus.read_byte_data(i2c_adress, OUT_Z_XL1)

        print(f" Complements Register 1 X: {comp_acc_x1} Y: {comp_acc_y1}  Z: {comp_acc_z1}")
        print(f" Complements Register 2 X: {comp_acc_x2} Y: {comp_acc_y2}  Z: {comp_acc_z2}")

        time.sleep(0.5)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Other code using pigpio library:
import pigpio
import time

i2c_adress = 0x1c # DEVICE ACCELEROMETER

#DEFINITION OF REGISTERS
OUT_X_XL1 = 0x28   # linear acceleration sensor output registers
OUT_X_XL2 = 0x29
OUT_Y_XL1 = 0x2A
OUT_Y_XL2 = 0x2B
OUT_Z_XL1 = 0x2C
OUT_Z_XL2 = 0x2D

def main():
    pi = pigpio.pi()
    acc_sensor = pi.i2c_open(1, i2c_adress)

    while (True):
        comp_acc_x2 = pi.i2c_read_byte_data(acc_sensor, OUT_X_XL2)
        comp_acc_y2 = pi.i2c_read_byte_data(acc_sensor, OUT_Y_XL2)
        comp_acc_z2 = pi.i2c_read_byte_data(acc_sensor, OUT_Z_XL2)

        comp_acc_x1 = pi.i2c_read_byte_data(acc_sensor, OUT_X_XL1)
        comp_acc_y1 = pi.i2c_read_byte_data(acc_sensor, OUT_Y_XL1)
        comp_acc_z1 = pi.i2c_read_byte_data(acc_sensor, OUT_Z_XL1)

        print(f" Complements Register 1 X: {comp_acc_x1} Y: {comp_acc_y1}  Z: {comp_acc_z1}")
        print(f" Complements Register 2 X: {comp_acc_x2} Y: {comp_acc_y2}  Z: {comp_acc_z2}")

        time.sleep(0.5)

Born Japan, 1933
Since emerging onto the international art scene in the early 1960s, Yoko Ono has made profound contributions to visual art, performance, filmmaking, and experimental music. Born in Tokyo in 1933, she moved with her family to New York in the mid-1950s and enrolled at Sarah Lawrence College. Over the next decade she lived in New York, Tokyo, and London, greatly influencing the international development of Fluxus and Conceptual art.
Ono's earliest works were often based on instructions that she communicated to the public in verbal or written form. Painting to Be Stepped On (1960–61), for example, invited people to tread upon a piece of canvas placed directly on the floor, either physically or in their minds. Though easily overlooked, the work radically questioned the division between art and the everyday. In 1964, she compiled more than 150 of her instructions in her groundbreaking artist's book, Grapefruit. The instructions range from feasible to improbable, often relying upon the reader's imagination to complete the work. At turns poetic, humorous, unsettling, and idealistic, Ono's early instruction pieces anticipated her later work, such as Cut Piece (1964), a performance in which people were invited to cut away portions of her clothing; Sky Machine (1966), a sculpture that speaks to her environmental concerns; and To See the Sky (2015), a spiral staircase installed beneath a skylight that visitors were invited to ascend in order to contemplate the sky.
Ono's collaborations with her late husband, Beatles legend John Lennon, including Bed-In (1969), a weeklong antiwar protest in their honeymoon suite, boldly communicated her commitment to social justice. Never one to confine her work to the gallery space, Ono continues to perform with her avant-garde Plastic Ono Band, promote world peace through her ongoing WAR IS OVER! campaign, and create works that blur the boundaries between art, politics, and society. In recent years, she has embraced social media to communicate her artistic and activist messages to even broader audiences.

Yoko Ono Lennon ( OH-noh; Japanese: 小野 洋子, romanized: Ono Yōko, usually spelled in katakana オノ・ヨーコ; born February 18, 1933) is a Japanese multimedia artist, singer, songwriter and peace activist. Her work also encompasses performance art, which she performs in both English and Japanese, and filmmaking. She was married to English singer-songwriter John Lennon of the Beatles from 1969 until his murder in 1980. Ono grew up in Tokyo and moved to New York in 1953 to live with her family. She became involved in New York City's downtown artists scene, which included the Fluxus group. With their performance Bed-Ins for Peace in Amsterdam and Montreal in 1969, Ono and Lennon used their honeymoon at the Hilton Amsterdam as a stage for public protests against the Vietnam War. The feminist themes of her music have influenced musicians as diverse as the B-52s and Meredith Monk. She achieved commercial and critical acclaim in 1980 with the chart-topping album Double Fantasy, a collaboration with Lennon that was released three weeks before his murder, winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

Q: Windows phone7: Open a webpage on button click? I just searched, but didn't find a way to create a web link in my Windows phone7 Application. In Android TextView has android:autoLink='Web' In Windows phone7 textblock I didn't find any relevant property.
Tried adding the NavigateURI property in the Hyperlink and it gives an exception. NavigateUri="http://www.google.com"
Really appreciate If someone Can suggest How to do this. Thanks in Advance...!!!!!

A: Use just the HyperLinkButton Control.
And add this property to your control:
<HyperlinkButton TargetName="_blank" Content="Go To" Click="HyperlinkButton_Click"/>

Finally add the click event handler to launch the browser using the BrowserTask :
 private void HyperlinkButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
 {
     WebBrowserTask webBrowserTask = new WebBrowserTask();
     webBrowserTask.Uri = new Uri("http://www.google.com");
     webBrowserTask.Show();
 }


When I shoot during sunrises and sunsets I usually pay closest attention to the colors and expose for the sky. Bringing out those rare colors and cloud shapes can be a challenge and certainly makes for some beautiful photos.
However, over the last year I've also grown to appreciate the structure, contrasts, and unique shapes that emerge from the environment when the light is coming at such a low angle. Regardless of colors, shooting for a longer exposure can bring a scene to life in a way that our eyes don't immediately see.
That's exactly what I found at this location. I was shooting sunrise in North Beach, MD along the shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The day was still so young and there wasn't much ambient light. I initially shot for the sky and was coming in around 4-5 seconds. The shots were very close to what my eyes perceived but the structure of the rocks and the shape of the decayed pier just didn't want to play ball. Rather than give up I just upped the exposure to 8-10 seconds knowing I'd start to blow out the sky and the reflections.
I know it's all in the eye of the beholder, but I was pleasantly surprised how much better I liked the overexposed shots than the darker ones I took.
Feeling down on the shots you've got? Take double the exposure and call me in the morning.

A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with "cleaning properties in dilute solutions."[1] These substances are usually alkylbenzenesulfonates, a family of compounds that are similar to soap but are more soluble in hard water, because the polar sulfonate (of detergents) is less likely than the polar carboxyl (of soap) to bind to calcium and other ions found in hard water. Detergents are commonly available as powders or concentrated solutions. Detergents, like soaps, work because they are amphiphilic: partly hydrophilic (polar) and partly hydrophobic (non-polar). Their dual nature facilitates the mixture of hydrophobic compounds (like oil and grease) with water. Because air is not hydrophilic, detergents are also foaming agents to varying degrees

It marvelously warm this morning. Currently, it's 81˚F and mostly sunny.
Despite the double dose of gabapentin, I somehow managed only to sleep about four hours last night.
The reading at the Savoy went well last night. We had a good crowd, and I was able to get my cough under control (tons-o'meds) enough to read chapters 12 and 14 from Black Helicopters. My thanks to the bookshop and to Faye Ringel. By the way, if you can get your hands on the ARC, the "uncorrected" text is much closer to an actual definitive edition than is the published novel, as the ARC (advance reading copy) was printed before the copyeditor got their goddamn hands on it. I'm reading from the ARC at these events.
The drive down to Westerly was grim, as so few trees in South County have yet to turn green. On the way home, it was mercifully dark.
Other then the reading, yesterday was a washout. I was nervous about the cough and angry about the mess the CE made of the book, and mostly I just set at my desk and glared at the window. Spooky and I did make a trip to the p.o. on Thayer Street, because we had two LPs waiting for us – she had Belly's new album, Dove, and I had the new Lord Huron album, Vide Noir.
It's about an hour from here to the Savoy and an hour back, so we didn't get back to Providence until about 9:30 p.m. We got dinner from Bucktown, then headed home and watched the new episodes of The Terror and Deadliest Catch.
Current Music:The Decemberists, "Your Ghost"
That's a great idea. I was lucky enough to get my hands on an ARC, I'll have to use your preferred method. I'm sorry I wasn't able to hear you read, maybe someday.

When you ask a football fan to name some legendary goalkeepers, you won't have to wait too long before you hear the names, Gianluigi Buffon and Iker Casillas.
The pair have been playing at the top level of European football for more than a decade and have earned 330 caps between them for Italy and Spain respectively.
However, while it's 163 caps and counting for Buffon, it appears to be 167 and out for Casillas.
That's because the 35-year-old has been left out of Spain's squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Italy and Albania this week.
Casillas lost his place as Spain's first-choice stopper to Manchester United's David de Gea ahead of Euro 2016 but new manager Julen Lopetegui doesn't think he deserves a place in the squad at all.
So, rather than Buffon and Casillas clashing when the two nations meet in Turin on Thursday, there will only be one legendary 'keeper on show - something that the Juventus captain finds odd.
"It does seem strange," he told a news conference when asked about Casillas' omission.
But Buffon realises the pair are no longer the two best goalkeepers in the world and acknowledges that they are reaching the end of their career - not that he has any plans to retire.
"It's a sign that we're reaching our sell-by date," he admitted.
"We're reaching the end of our careers, which is normal. I'm going to enjoy taking part in it as long as I can. I don't want any regrets and I feel I can still improve."
Buffon will be 40 by the time the World Cup in Russia begins and he hopes to make an incredible sixth appearance in the competition.
To qualify, though, they must find their way past a quality Spanish side - something they managed to do this summer.
In the last-16 clash in France, the Italians beat much-fancied Spain 2-0 but Buffon wants his players to forget that win ahead of their qualifier this week.
"I don't have a clear memory of the Euro 2016 meeting - I don't have the mental clarity yet to look at it without the adrenaline," he said.
"We played in a lively way, as a team who wanted to get the result at all costs. We have to do the same tomorrow. That type of passion and desire is essential.
"That victory must not make us feel arrogant - we need to keep our feet on the ground and remember the humility that helped us win then.
"We are a year and a half off the World Cup, but we have to realise what this game is worth now."

The Tale of Princess Fatima, Warrior Woman: The Arabic Epic of Dhat Al-Himma
Published in English for the first time, and the only Arabic epic named for a woman, The Tale of Princess Fatima recounts the thrilling adventures of a legendary medieval warrior universally known throughout the Middle East and long overdue to join world literature's pantheon of female heroes.
A fearsome, sword-slinging heroine who defeated countless men in stealth attacks on horseback, Dhat al-Himma, or Princess Fatima, was secretly given away at birth because she wasn't male, only to triumph as the most formidable warrior of her time. Known alternately as she-wolf, woman of high resolve, and calamity of the soul, she lives on in this rousing narrative of female empowerment, in which she leads armies of more than seventy thousand men in clashes between rival tribes and between Muslims and Christians; reconciles with her father after taking him prisoner; and fends off her infatuated cousin, who challenges her to a battle for the right to marry her. Though her cousin suffers an ignominious defeat, he impregnates Fatima against her will and, when she gives birth to a Black son, disowns his own son, who also grows up to be a great warrior, eventually avenging his mother's honor. The epic culminates in a showdown between Fatima and another formidable warrior woman, and earns Fatima a place alongside the likes of Circe, Mulan, Wonder Woman, Katniss Everdeen and other powerful women.

My mother made it to Heaven this past year, but she left an indelible mark on my life. Growing up, I thought my mother was the strictest, most penny-pinching woman on the planet. As an adult, this theory has been confirmed. I used to think this was a flaw more than a virtue. I was wrong.
I remember our weekly runs to the bread surplus store to get expired cinnamon bread at half price. If it weren't for the commercials I wouldn't have even known that McDonald's served French fries until I was over the age of accountability.
I can still hear her say, "I'm so glad you were born but after all those labor pains, I should be the one to get the presents." Yes, birthdays were celebrated and gifts were given. I knew she was joking but the there was an imputed virtue in the middle of this humorous proverb— no one should get rewarded for just showing up on earth. We had to find our own jam and figure out how to play it well.
Along with her skill of saving, she mastered the art of discipline. She didn't have to lay a hand on me. Her laser-focused glare could singe my eyebrows from 600 yards away. I used to complain that Mom made me go to bed earlier than any other child in North America. The only acceptable places to be after 8 p.m. were church or bed. Screen time wasn't an issue in our house. My big brother and I stayed out of the house for hours because we knew if we weren't studying, she'd have a list of activities on hand that involved brooms, scouring pads and variety of household cleaning chemicals. Of course, I was way too busy for this, so we usually braved the elements and rode our bikes like we were training for the Tour De France.
One of the greatest things my mom did growing up was to force me to fail. She didn't just want me to feel the thrill of victory. She knew that I had to learn the agony of defeat. I still remember the day she yanked the training wheels of the bike without telling me. If she saw a fear or weakness in my psyche, she would push me in that direction. This kept me from the sin of cockiness. She knew that I had no sense of direction- none whatsoever, so she'd send me on errands that would surely get me lost in the streets of our town. With no hand-eye coordination, she signed me up for piano lessons which I enjoyed about as much as I did cleaning the grout- both of which were daily activities. I can't play anything today, but it gave me the chutzpa to run toward the things I really enjoyed doing with an even greater passion.
Mom isn't with us this year but she programmed me for success in so many ways and whenever I get too big for my britches, I still feel her influence over me. I still tithe at church, watch my language, eat my vegetables, try to do more than what's expected, and, yes, I still put the seat down on the toilet.
She also parented three of the greatest people on earth, my dear brother, Mark and my two awesome sisters, Melodye and Melinda.
I guess you could say I was sheltered as a child, and I am so thankful for it.
