NY Dad Hides COVID-19 Symptoms to Visit Wife Giving Birth
Kaylin Published: March 31, 2020
Hospitals locally have put a 'no visitor policy' into place to help flatten the COVID-19 curve. But in cases, some people just don't get when to stay away, or think the rules don't apply to them.
The Democrat and Chronicle in Rochester reports a man who had been exposed to the coronavirus, and who was himself feeling sick, hid his symptoms from staff at Strong Memorial Hospital so he could join his expectant wife in the maternity center. He was considered her "support individual," permitted to be present during labor, and throughout the post-partum period until discharge.
What made him confess? After his wife gave birth, she too started displaying symptoms.
UR Medicine spokesman Chip Partner said their visitor policy before this incident was purely on an honor system, now they're checking temperatures of all visitors as well. Previously, visitors were asked if they'd been in proximity to anyone who might have COVID-19 and if their own health was good. If they attested that all was well, the visitors were allowed in.
He also said that due to privacy laws, whether the mother, father or newborn actually developed COVID-19 could not be disclosed.
Here's my main question: what was going through this guys head?
I get it. Your wife just gave birth to your child. I haven't experienced it myself, but the thought of all the parents who aren't able to meet their children due to the restrictions that some hospitals have is heartbreaking. But guess what - there's ways to get around that. There's technology that allows you to communicate with people when you can't be around them, aka FaceTime.
Did he not realize that he was putting everyone at risk? Not only his wife and newborn child, but the staff at the hospital who deal with other patients daily?
Maternity staff at the hospital were informed of their potential exposure but allowed to continue working as long as they remained asymptomatic, Partner said. They were instructed to wear masks at all times and to take their temperatures throughout their shift.
This isn't one of those times where you get to make your own rules. You don't get to decide that you "don't need to social distance" or follow the policies in place because just because you want to meet your child. Heck, maybe you're healthy. Regardless, there's vulnerable people among us.
To those reading this: don't be like this guy. Whether you are sick, your children are sick, if someone in your household has tested positive, if you are an older person or a person with a serious underlying health condition, the CDC's main piece of advice is to STAY HOME.
It's time people start listening so we can soon get back to our lives. So people CAN go visit their family members in the hospital.

ADOLESCENT PREGNANCY AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT.
BETTS, SHERRY CROOP.
Teenage mothers.
High school dropouts.
The purpose of this study was to determine the similarities and differences between pregnant/parenting teens and other young women who drop out of high school. It also sought to determine the characteristics which discriminate between pregnant or parenting teens who continue with school and those who drop out. A comparison of 33 female high school dropouts with 47 dropouts from an alternative program for pregnant/parenting teens produced a discriminant function which accounted for 99% of the variance between the groups and correctly classified 74% of the subjects by group. Examination of the discriminating variables did not produce the expected variables such as school performance, educational aspirations, and value of education to friends. The results indicated that the two groups of dropouts did not differ in educational background variables and that pregnancy alone did not cause otherwise capable students to drop out of school. It was found that pregnant/parenting dropouts were more likely to be Hispanic, from families who valued education less, and have lower career and college aspirations than other dropouts. The second comparison of 47 pregnant/parenting students who dropped from the alternative program with 67 who maintained enrollment, produced a discriminant function which accounted for 86% of the variance between groups and correctly predicted group membership for 93% of the subjects. Among the variables which defined this function were grade point average, attendance, importance of education to family and friends, educational aspirations, past drop out, sports activities, more than one child, self-esteem, SES, and being minority. These are typical of the differences between any dropouts and enrolled students regardless of the pregnancy.

Erin Hatton
Associate professor in the Department of Sociology at the University at Buffalo
From ErinHatton.com:
I am an associate professor of sociology at the State University of New York at Buffalo. My research is centered in the sociology of work, while also extending into the fields of race and gender, social inequality, culture, labor, law, and social policy.
My first book, The Temp Economy: From Kelly Girls to Permatemps in Postwar America (Temple University Press, 2011), weaves together gender, race, class, and work in a cultural analysis of the temporary help industry and the rise of the new economy. The Temp Economy won an Honorable Mention for the Distinguished Scholarly Monograph Award from the American Sociological Association's Labor & Labor Movements Section.
My forthcoming book, Coerced: Work Under Threat of Punishment (UC Press, forthcoming 2020), analyzes four very different--and unusual--groups of workers: incarcerated, workfare, college athlete, and graduate student workers. Drawing on more than 120 in-depth interviews across these four groups, in this book I uncover a new form of labor coercion and analyze its consequences for workers in America.
I am also editor of Prison/Work: Labor in the Carceral State, which examines the multiple and multi-directional intersections between mass incarceration and labor and employment in the U.S. today. Prison/Work is under contract with University of California Press.

Home EssilorLuxottica: Ophthalmic Lens Products Key Business Partner Helps Optometrist Improve Practice and Drive Mission
Key Business Partner Helps Optometrist Improve Practice and Drive Mission
Amanda Barker-Assell, OD, of Denver, North Carolina, says that her profession "has given me the opportunity to be successful in the areas of life that are important to me." From a young age, she wanted to be in the medical field; optometry offered her a perfect blend for her life goals, which included balancing a private practice, mission work and family. As a member of the Essilor Experts™, Dr. Barker-Assell discusses how partnering with Essilor has helped her improve her practice and provide the best for her patients.
Dr. Barker-Assell says that during her 17-year career, she has seen many exciting changes in the profession, including new and innovative contact lenses; advances in digital technology with regard to lens designs; amazing development in devices used to diagnose, treat and manage ocular diseases; and more opportunities to become involved in practice management with like-minded colleagues. "With the technological advancements in our industry, I feel we practice at a more specialized level and have been able to incorporate subspecialties such as vision therapy, dry eye treatment and specialty contact lenses, all of which help us continue to thrive in the changing world of optometry."
One of the many programs she finds effective and relevant is Essilor Experts. She is an active member of the advisory board for this program. "I'm thankful to have great programs like this one. Essilor Experts has provided our office not only with the latest product technology but also with excellent team training, more advanced technology for patient education surrounding our products, tools to set goals and a dashboard to monitor our key performance indicators. This allows me to run a more effective and efficient business and provide higher-level care and customer service to my patients."
Dr. Barker-Assell says that while there are many challenges in the optometric industry, there are also many opportunities. "It feels like a disruptive time in our industry. HIPAA regulations, a plethora of insurance benefits to decipher, the warp speed of internet competition, the development and future of telemedicine and the entrance of private equity to this profession all contribute to a more complex and overwhelming field to navigate. However, there are so many great programs, products, tools, companies and opportunities to take advantage of to maintain a successful and thriving practice," she says.
Optometry is a wonderful profession for women because it allows so many different models of practice and a variety of roles. "There are few other professions that allow such flexibility over an entire career. Personally, I would love to see more women in the private practice sector. In the past few years, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with more female business owners, and it has been refreshing. Independent optometry is not the easiest business to operate. It takes constant work and energy; however, when doctors take advantage of partnerships and programs, like Essilor Experts, they receive support, insight and expertise that helps them succeed. It is a powerful combination."
Mission-driven work
The heart of her work focuses on mission-driven and humanitarian efforts around vision and literacy. While providing eye care through a mission-related organization in 2008, she and husband, Mike Assell, OD, met and adopted their first child, Khaleda, who was 8 and suffered from a life-long medical condition that required constant and aggressive medical treatment. On May 8, 2016, Khaleda passed away. "The adoption was an amazing opportunity and a tremendous blessing to us," she says.
Dr. Barker-Assell rallies the participants at the Inaugural Khaleda Run & Butterfly Release.
In an effort to honor Khaleda's life, Dr. Barker-Assell started a nonprofit organization called BlindSight to focus on serving vision and literacy needs domestically and abroad. In May 2019, she and her husband, who continue to focus on mission work, hosted the Inaugural Khaleda Run & Butterfly Release. "With the run proceeds, we are partnering to support vision and literacy needs within our own community, and in January 2020, we hope to set up our first international vision clinic in Belize. We are thrilled to have this opportunity and look forward to many more," she says. "I love being an optometrist, and I love to serve people in such a meaningful way. I consider it an honor to help protect and restore the most precious sense of sight."

Die Walküre (The Valkyrie), is the second of the four music dramas that constitute Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, (The Ring of the Nibelung). It was performed, as a single opera, at the National Theatre Munich on June 26, 1870, and received its first performance as part of the Ring cycle at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus on August 14, 1876.
As the Ring cycle was conceived by Wagner in reverse order of performance, Die Walküre was the penultimate of the four texts to be written, although Wagner composed the music in performance-sequence. The text was completed by July 1852, and the music by March 1856. Wagner largely followed the principles related to the form of musical drama which he had set out in his 1851 essay Opera and Drama under which the music would interpret the text emotionally, reflecting the feelings and moods behind the work, using a system of recurring leitmotifs to represent people, ideas and situations rather than the conventional operatic units of arias, ensembles, and choruses. Wagner showed flexibility in the application of these principles here, particularly in Act 3 when the Valkyries engage in frequent ensemble singing.
The story of Die Walküre is based on the Norse mythology told in the Volsunga Saga and the Poetic Edda. In this version the Volsung twins Sieglinde and Siegmund, separated in childhood, meet and fall in love. This union angers the gods who demand that Siegmund must die. Sieglinde and the couple's unborn child are saved by the defiant actions of Wotan's daughter, the title character, Valkyrie Brünnhilde, who as a result faces the gods' retribution.

President Donald Trump has formally reached out to the Covington Catholic High School students to invite them to the White House amid the fake news controversy surrounding their participation in the March for Life.
The student at the center of the controversy, Nick Sandmann, reportedly told The Daily Wire that Trump is serious about hosting the students.
"The President wants to send a plane down to get us," Sandmann said.
Radio host Laura Ingraham also reported a White House meeting could happen as soon as tomorrow.
President Trump has already expressed support for the teens after it became clear that the media was caught publishing fake news about the incident involving a Native American protester.
"Looking like Nick Sandman & Covington Catholic students were treated unfairly with early judgements proving out to be false - smeared by media," Trump tweeted.
He added: "Not good, but making big comeback! 'New footage shows that media was wrong about teen's encounter with Native American" @TuckerCarlson."
Covington students broke their silence amid the media smears on Tuesday, claiming there is so much misinformation circulating and it's resulted in death threats against them.
Should President Trump get the Covington kids to the White House?

Review: Aubrey's Don Gardon alias was a one-shot decoy deployed in 1997 with the now highly sought-after "Textures" 12" on Aubrey's own Textures label. While the provenance of these new tracks is a little foggy at this stage, what you can be sure of is the grade of techno we're dealing with here. Aubrey's illustrious career speaks for itself, and so do these tracks in the first Textures release since 2001. "The Phase" is an effervescent, funk laced race to the stars, while "Vari Tube" takes a more intimate route through dusty house that wouldn't sound out of place in the Workshop stratosphere. "Slam Dunk" is a cheeky, jazzy affair while "Dons Slide" gets a little more freaky and far out in the finest tradition of B2 tracks.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa.--John Lyons (Barrington, R.I.) exploded with five goals to lead the Connecticut College men's lacrosse team to a 16-8 victory against Farmingdale State in a non-conference game played at historic Franklin Field on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania Wednesday. Lyons set the tone early, scoring the first two goals of the contest in the opening quarter and sparked the Camels on a 7-0 second half rally that sealed the victory. The Camels improve to 1-3 with the win, while the Rams slip to 2-5 with the setback. Chad Sawyer (Northfield, Ill.) had a big day with three goals and an assist for Connecticut College. JR Hartgers (Franklin Heights, N.J.) dished out a game-high four assists to go with a goal en route to a five point outburst. Andrew Berry (Moorestown, N.J.) and Tyler Corcoran (Simsbury, Conn.) both had a goal and an assist for the Camels. Senior Chuck Czerkawski (Cohasset, Mass.) registered a 76% winning percentage on face-offs (19-for-25) to go with a game-high 13 ground balls. Rob Moccia (Malvern, Pa.) stopped six shots in 54:05 of action and was relieved by classmate John Lenehan (Hingham, Mass.), who recorded one save in the closing 5:55 of regulation. Senior defender Brogan O'Connor (Haverhill, Mass.) collected three ground balls to go with a caused turnover. Farmingdale State senior midfielder Jason Opitz (West Hempstead, N.Y.), Ryan Oswald (Floral Park, N.Y.) and Bobby Thomas (Wantagh, N.Y.) all finished with two goals in the contest. Rob Nosworthy (Massapequa, N.Y.) distributed three assists, while senior midfielder Shannon Robinson (Freeport, N.Y.) contributed two helpers. Ricky Morales (Holbrook, N.Y.) corralled six ground balls to go with a pair of caused turnovers. Senior net-minder Patrick Delventhal (Westbury, N.Y.) made 13 saves in 54:44 of action in the cage. Tom McDevitt (Levittown, N.Y.) made one stop in relief duty. The Camels out-shot the Rams 54-to-27 and held a 38-22 advantage in ground balls. Both teams will play their next game this Saturday at 4:00 p.m. The Rams will look to rebound with a Skyline Conference game at Montclair State University. Connecticut College will visit the Charm City of Baltimore to take on NESCAC rival Williams College at Johns Hopkins University.

Shrimp with hominy grits is a favorite in the American South. Polenta stands in for this spicy Italianate version, fortified with hot fennel sausage and tomatoes. For the best-tasting results, be sure to cook the polenta slowly for at least 45 minutes, and try to get freshly made sausages from an Italian deli or butcher shop.
Featured in: Polenta And Shrimp, A Marriage Of Land And Sea.
Make the polenta: Bring 8 cups salted water to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Whisk in polenta, continuing to whisk as mixture begins to thicken, about 1 minute. Turn heat to low and let polenta cook slowly, whisking every few minutes for about 10 minutes. Turn heat to very low and continue to cook for least 45 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally. If polenta gets too thick to stir easily, add a bit of water to obtain a porridge-like consistency. (When finished, there should be no raw cornmeal flavor.) Taste a cooled spoonful, then correct seasoning with salt and pepper. Turn off heat, whisk in butter and keep warm.
Add onion to pan and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add sausage meat and cook, mashing with a large spoon to let sausage crumble into rough half-inch pieces. Continue cooking for 5 to 6 minutes, until mixture is lightly browned. Stir in garlic, red-pepper flakes and rosemary, and cook for 1 minute more.
Add wine and tomato purée. Simmer for 1 minute and stir in crème fraîche. Turn off heat and check seasoning. Warm a large serving platter. In a small bowl, mix together scallions, capers, parsley and lemon zest.
To finish, turn heat to high. Add reserved shrimp to sausage mixture and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until shrimp are cooked through and sauce has thickened slightly.


Danesfield Middle School in Williton opened a dedicated Prayer Room (aptly named The Sanctuary) in the school in September, and a few weeks ago the School Council and members of staff were joined by the Bishop of Taunton and local church leaders for the official opening.
A new exhibition, first seen in the Watchet Music Festival Prayer Tent over the August Bank Holiday weekend, is now on display at The Sanctuary. Four paintings depicting the 'elements' (air, earth, fire and water) inspired by the Bible and produced by four of our talented artists. Do take a look when you're down there - they'll remain on display throughout October and part of November. The Sanctuary is open to all on Monday & Wednesday afternoons 3-5pm, Friday 5-7pm for the weekly Community Meal, and at other times for specific groups & events (see 'What's on' page of the website www.thesanctuary.org.uk) including a regular Art Group on Friday mornings – contact us for more details.
On Mon 4th April 2016, 50 young people from Spring Harvest festival in Minehead came across to Watchet to help make a difference in our community. They gardened at our local school, picked up litter on our play fields, helped to run a Family Craft Afternoon in The Sanctuary and washed cars... for free! The point was to demonstrate in practical ways that the message of the Christian faith actually affects our outlook on life, the things we think are important, how we act and what we do. It was also a lot of fun!
An article published by the Somerset Gazette in November 2015 about FEAST Community Meal.
The Sanctuary gets an award!
Watchet Town Council recognised the work of The Sanctuary in our local community on Tues 21st April by awarding our volunteers the Millington Shield - given each year to a local community organisation "to highlight the most valuable contribution they have made to the town". We're delighted!
As from January 2015 our monthly Arise youth café night at The Sanctuary is taking the exciting step of increasing to twice a month: opening the youth café doors on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month, 7.30pm – 9pm.
MAD International are a UK charity based in Watchet who support needy children and families in the Philippines. Charity workers, Alan & Helen Wye, source original, hand-crafted jewellery and other handicrafts directly from skilled workers in the Philippines making sure they are paid a fair wage. The jewellery is then sold in the UK to raise funds that are sent back to the charity's workers in the Philippines where it is used to supply accommodation for those in need, purchase equipment for local schools and run a weekly feeding programme.

Levy and Hoyda set to argue in court for a receiver at Sheffield57
By David Jones | July 07, 2009 05:57PM
Just weeks after Fortress Investment Group filed to foreclose on a $70 million mezzanine loan at Sheffield57, a state Supreme Court judge is set to hear arguments by investors Yair Levy and Serge Hoyda tomorrow morning to appoint a receiver at the troubled condominium.
In a June lawsuit, Levy and Hoyda alleged that developer Kent Swig misappropriated more than $50 million in construction funds at Sheffield57 and made critical decisions about the condo conversion without their consent or approval.
Levy and Hoyda, who control about 70 percent of the building ownership [with Swig and other investors controlling the remaining interest], claimed the foreclosure would wipe out their $17 million investment in the building.
However, a group of 100 condo unit owners at Sheffield57 filed an amicus brief opposing the appointment of a receiver, arguing that the three partners are engaged in a blood feud and Swig, Levy and Hoyda do not have the best interest of Sheffield57 at heart.
"It is abundantly clear from their submissions in connection with the instant application, that none of the sponsor principals have the best interests of the owners group or the condominium in mind and that none of them come to this court with clean hands," said the Sheffield owners' attorney Robert Braverman in a court filing.
Braverman argues that the "white knight," Fortress, has agreed to pay the $5.4 million in outstanding common charges, pay the $17 million in outstanding mechanics liens and would pour millions of dollars into Sheffield57 to complete construction of the project.
Fortress agreed in June to buy a $70 million senior mezzanine loan from Guggenheim Structured Real Estate and a $32 million senior loan from Wells Fargo after Swig defaulted on those loans. Fortress notified Swig in a June letter that it would foreclose on the loans and offer them for sale in an August 6 auction. Under this so-called uniform commercial code foreclosure, Fortress will take over the property unless another bidder successfully buys the loans during the auction.
Sources say that Fortress has retained Rose Associates, the former owner of the Sheffield57, at 322 West 57th Street, to help supervise the renovation of the building. Analysts estimate that more than $50 million is required to complete the construction of common areas and the upper floors at Sheffield57.
A spokesperson for Swig declined to comment, but in an affidavit obtained by The Real Deal Swig denies charges leveled in the Levy suit and argues that a receiver is not in the best interest of the property.
"While the project initially proceeded smoothly under guidance of SE Management [a Swig Equities affiliate], as microeconomic issues began to weigh heavily on the project in late 2007, and into 2008, plaintiffs tried to capitalize on the company's misfortunes to seize control of the project from the SE defendants," Swig stated in the affidavit.
Swig alleged that Levy and Hoyda began accusing him of diverting or misappropriating funds and began to unreasonably withhold consent on decisions that Swig claims did not require consent. He also alleged that Levy and Hoyda gave up some approval rights at Sheffield57 after Swig loaned them $8.4 million in 2006.
Stephen Meister, attorney for Levy and Hoyda, was not immediately available for comment.

Naspers Rejects Attempt To Ban Exclusive Broadcasting Rights
Koos Bekker, the CEO of media giant Naspers, has rejected the debate that select rights on sports broadcasting be done away with, saying the idea is "ridiculous."
In an effort to break up DStv and Supersport's monopoly on sport transmission, last month, Dina Pule, the communications minister, said plans were afoot to distribute a policy order to advance competition in the broadcasting sector.
MyBroadband reported on Monday that it is also possible that the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) and the Competition Commission will pay more attention on the long term exclusivity deals on premium content, including sport.
However, Bekker told Moneyweb's Hilton Tarrant in an interview that transmission rights are the essence of sporting occasions and sporting clubs teams.
"I was on the World Cup Committee for ten years, the income statement looks like this, 90 percent of all the income for the Soccer World Cup was from TV rights and everything else, all the seats sold in the stadium, all the scarves, all the sponsorships amounted to less than 10 percent," said Bekker.
"So TV pays the bills and if you take the South African PSL soccer league we pay for everything, we pay for every player and the lights at the stadium and…the backroom, we pay all the bills."
Bekker said they are able to pay the bills because they are in possession of exclusive rights on the content.
"So the moment government were to say 'Okay, e.tv you have it', it loses all appeal for us because no one will pay us to get something which is available for free, which means the value will drop to a tenth of what it is now and clubs simply can't pay the players," said Bekker.

Q: writing a date to the spreadsheet with vbscript I am using vbscript to query a mysql database and then populate the results into an openoffice calc file.
All seemed to be going well until I tried to enter a date into the spreadsheet using
objSheet.getCellByPosition(2, n).SetString(adoRS("DATEONLY"))

This enters some strange symbols which is entirely wrong.
So I tried entering the date as a string intsead of a date, i.e the type is a string from mysql instead of a date and this sort of worked, but when inserted into calc it adds an apostrophe to the start of the string which means calc does not treat it as a date any more!
What am I doing wrong? I have spent hours searching google for this but cannot find a solution.
Many thanks for any pointers.

A: I try insert into cell a date without problem, also you can try format date and you has the possibility to insert a formula.
For my tests I tried:
Call oSheet.getCellRangeByName("A1").setString(Now)

Call oSheet.getCellRangeByName("A2").setString(Format(Now, "DD/MM/YYYY"))

Call oSheet.getCellRangeByName("A3").setFormula("=DATE(2016;02;05")

Would be change the variable Now to your adoRS("DATEONLY")

Q: Ensure SSL all the way to the pod using Google Container Engine Ingress I have a pod that serves HTTPS traffic on 443 using a self-signed certificate with a CN of app that matches the service name, app. It also serves HTTP on 80.
I also have an Ingress object that exposes the pod externally on foo.com and I use kube-lego to dynamically fetch and configure a LetsEncrypt certificate for foo.com:
spec:
  rules:
  - host: foo.com
    http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          serviceName: kube-lego-gce
          servicePort: 8080
        path: /.well-known/acme-challenge/*
      - backend:
          serviceName: app
          servicePort: 80
        path: /*
  tls:
  - hosts:
    - foo.com
    secretName: app-tls-staging

This means there are two levels of SSL. If I set the servicePort of the Ingress to 443 to ensure traffic between Google's LB and my pod is encrypted, the endpoint returns 502 Server Error. Is this because it doesn't know to trust my self-signed cert? Is there a way to specify a CA?
Once I set it back to 80 the Ingress starts working normally again after a few minutes.

A: What you're looking for is "re-encryption" for Load Balancer <=> cluster traffic. If you see here, re-encryption is listed as "Future Work".
But I see this feature is merged: https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress/pull/519/commits
It looks like you can find an example here and it's described as "Backend HTTPS" in this document: https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress/tree/master/controllers/gce#backend-https
However today this feature seems to be in alpha, so it may be subject to change and you may need to create an alpha GKE cluster (which is short-lived) to use it.


BEIJING (Reuters) - China will never recognize the United States' appointment of a special coordinator for Tibetan issues, China's foreign ministry said on Monday, saying it opposes any foreign intervention in its internal affairs.
President Barack Obama held low-key talks with the Dalai Lama on Friday, prompting condemnation and warnings from the Chinese government that the meeting with the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader would damage ties.
Washington urged the Chinese government on Friday to resume dialogue with the Dalai Lama or his representatives without pre-conditions as a means to reduce tensions.
To encourage those talks, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday he had named one of his officials, Sarah Sewall, as a special coordinator for Tibetan Issues.
"The Chinese government resolutely opposes any foreign country using the so-called Tibet problem to interfere in China's internal affairs," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said at a daily news briefing.
"China has never and will never recognize the U.S.' so-called special envoy for the Tibet problem."
China calls the Dalai Lama, who fled to India after a failed uprising in 1959, a "wolf in sheep's clothing" who seeks to use violent methods to establish an independent Tibet.
The Dalai Lama says he only wants genuine autonomy for Tibet and denies advocating violence.
Human rights groups say China tramples on the rights of Tibetans and employs brutal methods to enforce its rule. More than 120 Tibetans have set themselves on fire since 2009 in protest against China. Most have died.
Communist Chinese troops took control of Tibet in 1950. China says it "peacefully liberated" the remote region that it says was mired in poverty, exploitation and economic stagnation.


Description: A simple map where you should win your enemy using only ships. Map contains many .ini changes and some triggers, you can not play this map with bots because their AI wasn't intended for building ships.
Description: Lots of resources, some defensible positions and some not, and long routes make this a good map to play against the computer. It's fun with humans too.
Description: Description: This map is based on the great C&C multiplayer map, Quarters. There are 4 blocks of land in each corner of the map, all connected by land on the sides of the map, and by bridges connecting the blocks. It is very even, with enough gold and gems and water access for all. The way me and my friends usually play is with a 30min buildup, but this map works great with or without a buildup. Another reason that it's only for 4 players (besides the name) is Westwood's sloppy LAN networking code. Please mail Westwood and tell them that you'd like it to be fixed! Well, I'm off to battle.

A l'intérieur cet été
Baptiste Rabichon
January 24 - March 09, 2019
A l'interieur cet été, Baptiste Rabichon's second intervention at the Paris-Beijing Gallery, is intended as the deployment of Dame de Cœur, presented in the PBProject room in March 2018.
If the first exhibition was already referring to Lewis Carroll's heroine, A l'interieur cet été is also a clins d'oeil to the character of Alice, her name being concealed somewhere in the title.
Two new works open the exhibition. The first one, Netflix, whose title is of an astonishing contemporaneity, represents an interior scene; two bodies lying on the bed, one represents the artist and the other, Alice, her gaze resting on a tablet. The apparent simplicity of these fragments of life is evoked by the artist in a recent interview with Manon Klein who saw in his work a correspondence with the notion of the infra-ordinary of novelist Georges Perec: «It's not because things are part of our everyday life that they are banal, it is our eyes that slips on them, with a banal indi erence. Inevitable, however, otherwise we would be constantly stunned.» .
It's through the lens of his smartphone that Baptiste Rabichon collects these moments of daily life. Like sketches of a painter, these images structure his narrative where digital and analogue manipulation, collection and composition are mingled. Successive experimentations will give birth to a unique image, hybrid, born from the union of distinct temporalities.
The second work, the warholian diptych Le Lunettier, reveals a double display stand for spectacles. Like a visual swing to the outside, the city and his shop windows, but also an invitation to look through these glasses; the work is a bridge between Netflix's realism and the dreamlike atmosphere of the series 17ème.
Walking through the works form the series 17ème – main corpus of the exhibition- we found Alice's figure again. Her life-size silhouette appears like an opaline spectrum combined to an extravagant flora. The floral motifs that characterize this series are created from real flowers picked by the artist during his walks, sometimes mixed with scans, then projected onto the photosensitive paper. The sunlight of the city gardens shines in and the intimacy of the photo lab where the artist tries to combine imprint and representation. Body and objects are marked by a dichotomy between darkness and light, interior and exterior, which also translates two essential phases of his work: the isolation of the darkroom and the a many bright places where the artist for collect his visual notes translating the correlations between chemistry and the computer, between the life of the artist and his laboratory.
Working in absolute darkness involves a great deal of concentration but also accepting that the hazards of chance are part of the composition process. It is undoubtedly the collision between control and accident that gives these works their peculiar chimerical appearance.

5 of the greatest robotics breakthroughs of the millennium so far
By Putnam Science Academy | January 8, 2016
From autonomous drones, incredible AI genomes and even zero-emission cars fuelled by hydrogen, technology is changing and fast. Advances in robotics technology are making human–machine collaboration an everyday reality. Improved and cheaper sensory technology make a robot more able to "understand" and respond to its environment. Robot bodies are becoming more adaptive and flexible, dealing with a wide variety of temperature changes and hostile environments. This is not to mention robots are also becoming more connected, thanks to the cloud-computing revolution providing remote access options.
Robots are now increasingly involved in tasks and operations in a wide variety of sectors. In Japan, for example, robots are being trialed in nursing roles. Helping patients out of bed and supporting stroke victims in regaining control of their limbs are just some of the roles to which robots are suited. Smaller robots, such as Dexter Bot, Baxter and LBR iiwa, are designed to be easy to program and can handle manufacturing tasks that are often too laborious or uncomfortable for the human workforce.
It is thanks to robotics that many of the past decade's greatest achievements have come about. Robots are no longer purely the stars of sci-fi movies. Robotics technology continues to help shape and develop the world in which we live today. Read on to find out more about five world-changing robots of the new millennium:
PackBot – 2001
After the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre Towers in New York, it was PackBot who was able to go where firefighters, dogs and rescue teams just couldn't reach. "It was a watershed event," Joe Dyer, chief operating officer of iRobot, maker of the PackBot, said of the robotic efforts involved in the rescue mission, as PackBot was able to determine the structural integrity of damaged buildings, take images and even search through rubble and debris for survivors.
In fact, PackBot has even gone on to be used by U.S. Military in Afghanistan to search buildings and remote areas for insurgents, and to investigate anti-personnel mines. The number of PackBots currently in use by the military has now exceeded 2,000. A favourite of the military and robotics developers alike, PackBot can climb obstacles, right itself, and increase its height to peer over small walls. It can also be carried in a backpack and can be submerged in water.
This amazing robot has starred in a music video and has even been recreated using lego.
Roomba – 2002
It's the stuff dreams are made of… a robot that cleans your house. iRobot's Roomba has changed the way we look at domestic chores. This disc-like robot will zoom around your house, vacuuming as it goes, before returning to its charging station by itself. The compact, automated cleaner has been a huge global success, with iRobot claiming to have sold 14 million 'home robots' worldwide. Fourteen years on and the technology is continuing to evolve. The 2015 'Roomba 980' model includes cool features such as intelligent visual navigation and cloud connected app control. The Roomba is widely regarded as the first truly popular, and useful, home robot.
KeepOn – 2007
After graduate student Marek Michalowski uploaded a film of KeepOn dancing to Spoon's, "I Turn My Camera On", a robotic star was born. KeepOn's cute appearance and the catchy video saw it get over 2 million YouTube hits. Another music video later and KeepOn earned his place as a robotic star.
KeepOn was in fact designed to be an interactive toy for children with developmental disorders, including autism. He contains two built-in cameras behind his eyes, meaning that a doctor can observe interaction between patient and robot. His attractive appearance and big eyes mean KeepOn has been an instant hit, linking science and medicine.
i-LIMB, the bionic hand – 2007
The i-LIMB Hand is the brand name of world's first commercially available bionic hand, invented by David Gow and his team at the Bioengineering Centre of the Princess Margaret Rose Hospital in Edinburgh, and manufactured by Touch Bionics. This amazing hand is was both multi-articulating (each finger can make its own movements) and offers the user a power grip (for holding larger objects). In only one year, more than 200 patients had been fitted with i-LIMB hands.
The i-LIMB has gone on to change the lives of thousands of people affected by loss of their hands due to accidents or surgery. The i-LIMB is an example of pioneering robotics, meaning that holding a pen, using a knife and fork and even taking camera photos on a Smartphone are no longer difficult tasks.
Kirobo – 2013
While the above breakthroughs show the amazing practical possibilities robotic advances, recent years have seen increasing focus on how robots can help us on a more human and emotional level. In 2013 Kirobo, a tiny humanoid robot developed in Japan, was sent to the International Space Station to keep astronaut Koichi Wakata company. Kirobo was programmed to process questions and select words from its vocabulary to construct an answer, instead of giving pre-programmed responses to specific questions. And while the conversation was stilted at times, Kirobo opened up new possibilities and questions on the potential of robots to provide emotional support to humans.
An education in robotics
If you are inspired by the above robotic developments or think you could be the brains behind the next PackBot, there are many opportunities to combine an interest or talent in robotics with a school, college and even university education. Many institutions even offer robotics classes which you can complete alongside your studies. One of these institutions is Putnam Science Academy in the "quiet corner of Connecticut, New England", U.S., offering a high quality education with special focus on engineering, mathematics and robotics.
At Putnam Science, robotics enthusiasts will feel right at home, as the school supports and encourages students to take part in this exciting offering. Students take part in the FIRST Tech Challenge, during which they have to build a mechanical robot capable of completing set tasks. Programming and construction is all done from scratch, while testing and inspiring the engineers of tomorrow.
Putnam Science regularly competes in the regional and super regional rounds of the First Tech Challenge, with the Putnam team winning the national round of the event in 2011.
Putnam Science Academy soon hopes to expand its robotics club into a robotics and engineering class, as part of the taught programmes on offer. Maths, coding and timed modelling are also part of the curriculum at Putnam, supporting and challenging inquisitive minds.
Robotics and maths aside, Putnam Science offers its students a well-rounded education, thanks to the school's outstanding pastoral support and extra-curricular activities on offer outside of the classroom. Putnam is also home to a top-ranked basketball team. As many NBA stars start off at the prep school level, Putnam is an excellent option for academically minded students who also may possess the talent to be the sporting stars of tomorrow, looking to win a scholarship or gain acceptance at a top U.S. University.

1925 Knute Rockne Signed Notre Dame University Certificate (Beckett MINT 9)
All > Goldin Elite
All > Sports > Football > Autographs > Cut Signatures
Knute Rockne was born in Norway in 1888 and came to America as a young boy. He learned football on the streets of his Logan Square neighborhood in Chicago and saved every penny he earned in order to attend Notre Dame University. It was there in 1913 that Rockne single-handedly changed the way football was played. Facing the tough West Point squad, Rockne led his team in a relentless drive featuring long forward passes. This new technique handcuffed the Army team and Notre Dame won 35-13. Rockne's exploits won him the All-American honors in 1913 and he graduated the following spring with a degree in pharmacy.
Rockne played pro ball through 1917 and then retired to take the job he would be forever known for - coach of the Fighting Irish. In his thirteen years at his alma mater, Rockne turned the university's football program into a financially successful victory machine. Due to his continued success on the football field, by the mid 1920's, Rockne created a stand-alone football "coaching school" held at campus across the nation. He partnered with Wisconsin basketball coach Doc Meanwell to create the Rockne-Meanwell Coaching School.
Offered here is one of those certificates that would have been given out to a successful participant and signed by both Rockne and Meanwell. The certificate reads "ROCKNE – MEANWELL SCHOOL FOR COACHES" and continues "This certifies that Mr. (BLANK) attended courses of 110 hours in the Theory and Practice of Football and Basketball and passed examinations therein. Notre Dame University, Summer Session of 1925." Rockne signed his name in blue pen above the "COACH OF FOOTBALL" printing and Meanwell signed his name above the "COACH OF BASKETBALL" print. This certificate is in excellent condition, displaying only minor toning due to age and some edge wear. A wonderful artifact from the man who revolutionized football. This item comes with a LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (A25525) and has been graded a MINT 9.

UK Independence party (Ukip)
Inside Ukip's campaign: Farage surfaces
In the runup to the general election, Nigel Farage is fighting on two fronts: trying to make Ukip a nationally significant party, and pursuing his own seat in parliament

Rowena Mason, political correspondent
Thu 12 Feb 2015 03.00 EST
Last modified on Tue 13 Mar 2018 14.14 EDT
Nigel Farage's absence from the election campaign so far has bemused commentators and relieved his rivals. This morning, however, the Ukip leader will get his party's 2015 show on the road in a key target seat: Castle Point in south Essex.
Expectations are considerable. While the party may not win many seats, it is polling between 14% and 17%, and Farage needs to show that he remains the principal disruptor in the British political system.
Since the last election, Farage's anti-EU, tough-on-immigration populist politics has won over supporters in their millions, and donors with serious money. Ukip is now able to pour more than £1m into 30 to 40 target seats, in the hope of adding to the two MPs it has already stolen off the Tories.
It hopes to overtake the Liberal Democrats, become the main challenger party in hundreds of English seats and win in at least four new constituencies – Thurrock, Boston, Great Yarmouth, and Farage's own parliament target of Thanet South, where bookmakers have the party odds-on to win. The catch is that none of these parliamentary seats is an easy fight.
How Tories could remain the largest party (part one): Ukip support drops
With this in mind, Farage has been relentlessly focusing on "Thanet, Thanet, Thanet" over the last month, according to Ukip insiders, who admit to some anxiety about their leader taking the seat in May.
Farage's speech in Castle Point will set out the case that Ukip is a party speaking for the whole nation, making the point that Ukip is well placed to capitalise on the fact that Labour is no longer very competitive in much of the south and that the Tories' influence in the north is weak.
After six unsuccessful attempts to enter parliament in the past, any failure to win over voters at the peak of Ukip's momentum would deal a blow to Farage's image as the leader of a people's army who can rival David Cameron and Ed Miliband on the national stage. And according to one senior Ukip official, the party is currently more confident about winning Thurrock, meaning Farage has to concentrate on his local campaign.
"He will do some speeches, but in terms of going all round the country, absolutely not. Anyone who thinks we're going to walk Thanet is in cloud cuckoo land. We will have to work bloody hard in that seat, even with the 'Nigel factor', to prove that he will make a good constituency MP."
In a series of private ward meetings and leaflets, the Ukip leader has been portraying himself in the area as a family man with normal hobbies: angling, watching cricket, collecting war medals and going on coach trips to historical battlefields. Given that he does not live in the constituency, the fight is on to persuade residents of the Kent seaside town that he cares about the local airport, fishing rights and unwanted development, and that his insurgent party is on the brink of a political breakthrough.
Farage's uncertain electoral prospects partly explain his low-key presence on the national stage since the beginning of the year, although the party argues that it has a clever strategy to let the Tories and Labour tear chunks out of each other until the electorate is bored of hearing that Cameron will destroy the NHS and Miliband will ruin the economy.
"Both parties are unleashing heavy artillery fire at each other, and what I've got to do is to rise above it all. Let them say what they damned well want, because our job is to tell people what we are for," Farage told a private meeting last month.
With his attention split between the national picture and his local battle, Farage has had to build a reliable team around him to give the party the organisational muscle it lacked at the last election. Although Ukip is commonly portrayed as a one-man band, the party now believes it has the senior staff in place to orchestrate a successful campaign while its leader directs his efforts at getting the Westminster seat he has sought for so long.
However, the scale of the task has grown monumentally since Ukip gained just 3% of the national vote in 2010. Back then, Ukip estimates that its former leader Lord Pearson had less than 10 minutes of exposure on the airwaves, and it shied away from fielding candidates against traditional Tories. This time, Ukip is pretty sure to be classified as a major party, giving it hours of broadcast opportunities, and is gunning for every MP in the country.
It is keen to emphasise that its new range of spokesmen and women will be able to speak confidently on policy, in contrast to some of those who held senior roles in the past, such as the unpredictable mavericks Godfrey Bloom and Winston McKenzie.
Ukip's campaign is being run from a small Mayfair office, lent to it by a donor, with room for just 50 staff. This will soon become a skeleton team, given the number running to be MPs. At the centre of this effort are Steve Crowther, the party chairman, who oversees the operation; Raheem Kassam, Farage's trusted political aide; Paul "Gobby" Lambert, the former BBC producer turned communications director; and Chris Bruni-Lowe, a data expert who has worked for a number of Tory MPs and ran the People's Pledge for an EU referendum campaign.
Donors also hold some sway over the party's direction. These include Andrew Reid, Stuart Wheeler, Arron Banks and Paul Sykes, who has tended to provide non-cash donations of advertising with a big say over the content.
Kassam explains that the party has been boosted by a natural movement of "cyber-kippers" spreading the word online in a similar way to SNP activists during the independence referendum. That helps boost activist morale and win new recruits, but the party is also trying to use more traditional campaigning methods to win over swing voters in its target areas. This includes an attempt at message discipline previously unknown to its activists.
"We still think knocking on doors and leaflets are the best way to communicate," Kassam says. "We are sending out infinitely more leaflets than last time. The organisation has professionalised to a point where all other campaigns before this one were beneath zero. This is campaign 1.0 because it is the first time we're fighting like any other party would."
A major difference compared with 2010 is that the party has now broadened its support to a wider range of candidates. Roger Arthur, a former Tory councillor standing in Horsham, explains that even in a non-target seat he has "more than enough money to make a significant impact". "We've already delivered more than 20,000 leaflets, and the canvassing we're doing is a technique based on proper sampling to give us a rough idea of our chances. We believe we will be within 5,000 votes," he says.
As well as drawing on the expertise of Kassam and Bruni-Lowe, Farage has been shopping for ideas abroad. Two weeks ago, he and an aide flew to Milan to meet the digital team of Beppe Grillo, leader of Italy's Five Star political party, with whom Ukip is in alliance in the European parliament.

Although unconvinced by Grillo's methods of direct democracy, whereby members are asked to vote on every policy, he is understood to feel similarities with the Italian movement's philosophy that for most of the population, politics has been lost to big business, lobbying interests and trade unions.
On the substance of policy, Farage has a number of speeches scheduled for the coming weeks, designed to address criticism that Ukip has previously offered little in the way of a coherent manifesto beyond wanting to leave Europe and reduce immigration. The writing of this document has not gone entirely smoothly, after it had to be handed over to a new policy chief, the deputy chairman Suzanne Evans, amid rumours it was still a series of "bullet points".
More recently, it is understood there has been internal debate about whether it is wise for the Ukip leader to personally get involved in announcing the ins and outs of specific policy detail. The most likely solution is that Farage will give general introductions, while his spokesmen and women fill in the nitty-gritty. "Can you really imagine Nigel giving a 25-minute policy speech? It's not his style," a senior party source says. "He'll do broad-stroke stuff."
Clues about the direction of travel on policy can be found in tapes of Farage's recent town hall meetings, obtained by the Guardian through the Thanet Watch satirical magazine. At these small gatherings, he disclosed that he believes the election will be fought and won on three issues: the NHS, the economy, and immigration. He also emphasised the billions a Ukip government could have in its coffers if the country withdrew from the EU, slashed international aid and cancelled HS2. By taking about £10bn out of the aid budget, Ukip would "rebuild the destruction that's been caused to our air force, navy and army so we can defend our own island".
The party also says £3bn from the EU pot would go towards the NHS, but Farage adds that while it would would remain free, he would like a "big shake-up in the bureaucracy" of the health service, including "putting in some sharp-minded businesspeople to get better bang for our buck".
On immigration, his offering is an Australian-style points system allowing in skilled workers, and stopping people coming in if they have "life-threatening diseases or criminal records". Despite the rightwing tone of many of these trailed policies, Ukip still insists there will be a "high, high emphasis" on winning some of the Labour-facing seats, including Great Grimsby, in Lincolnshire. Other targets are known to be Rotherham and Rother Valley, where the Labour administrations have been under fire for their failure to deal with child sexual grooming by gangs of mainly Pakistani origin.
In some areas of South Yorkshire, Ukip has already been accused of exploiting the scandal for political aims, with Farage forced to abandon a visit to Rotherham last week in the face of protests. The party dismisses these as trade union-funded troublemakers, but as in Thanet, the pursuit of Ukip by demonstrators is increasing in the runup to May.
Overall, the seats most likely to turn purple are still likely to have been blue before: Thanet, Thurrock, Boston and Great Yarmouth. But the game plan, according to Rob Ford, who co-wrote the prize-winning book Revolt on the Right about Ukip, is for the party to get "a decent foothold in parliament with four, five, six seats and a swath of others where they are in a solid second place and they can go back in the council elections of 2016 and build on that, and again in another general election that may be even sooner than 2020".
In a way, this election is still something of a rehearsal for the new Ukip, giving it a solid springboard from which to be viewed as an equal with the Tories, Labour and Lib Dems next time round. Ford says: "From second place, they can then argue against the incumbent MP in Labour and Tory seats next time. In both cases they will have a chance potentially to go from 30% and 20 points behind to No 1."

Paul Sykes Built the Meadowhall shopping centre in Sheffield and is a third ex-Tory donor who has supported Ukip for many years
Key party figures
Raheem Kassam, adviser to Nigel Farage
Kassam is a former managing editor of the right-wing news website Breitbart, who was poached by Ukip in October last year. He is one of Farage's most trusted advisers and is among the few who is able to speak for the leader personally.
Chris Bruni-Lowe, data and campaigns expert
Bruni-Lowe was recruited by Ukip to bring some campaigning expertise to the party. He co-founded the People's Pledge campaign gathering support for an EU referendum and worked for several Conservatives before joining Ukip.
Steve Crowther, party chairman
The chairman of the party is the main man organising the party behind the scenes, and takes on an enforcer role for Farage. Born in Devon, he spent 30 years in London working as a journalist and businessman before returning out west.
Patrick O'Flynn, economics spokesman
The former political journalist for the Daily Express joined Ukip as its communications director. However, he was undermined by his suggestion that the party could bring in a tax on luxury goods, which was later disowned by Farage. He is an MEP and standing for the party in Cambridge.
Paul Nuttall, deputy leader of Ukip
Nuttall is the party's main man in the north, and is tipped to be a potential successor to Nigel Farage. Has given a good account of himself in his appearances on BBC's Question Time.
Suzanne Evans, head of policy and deputy chairman
Evans is a former Conservative councillor who has taken charge of the party's manifesto following the resignation of Tim Aker. Aker isfighting the winnable seat of Thurrock for Ukip, while she is contesting much harder territory in Shrewsbury.
Paul Lambert, director of communications
The former BBC producer is an institution in Westminster, having covered UK politics for years, and has built up excellent relationships with journalists, particularly the broadcasters.
Gawain Towler, head of press
Towler is a well-liked figure who has played a key part in Ukip's communications for many years.


When last we heard from entitlement-mongering college students protesting budget cuts at public universities, they were taking torches to the chancellor's home at UC Berkeley.
As I've noted before, it's not right-wing Republicans assaulting police officers, abusing government authority to try and drive out the Marines, waging nationwide war on recruiters, and terrorizing researchers in the name of animal rights. It's left-wing nutballs who always get a pass from the NYTimes columnists and MSNBC loudmouths who've been blaming every violent outburst on the planet on the Tea Party movement.
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee officials said they had to use pepper spray Thursday to help break up a rally at the campus after some protesters became violent while trying to enter the building that contains the chancellor's office.
Sixteen people were detained and 15 were arrested during the afternoon rally, university spokesman Tom Luljak said. The rally coincided with rallies at colleges nationwide, criticizing the rising cost of higher education.
Luljak said university police sprayed pepper spray in the air and called the Milwaukee Police Department for help after some protesters attempted to storm Chapman Hall, the building that houses Chancellor Carlos Santiago's office. Protesters were punching and kicking officers while some also threw snowballs and ice at the officers, Luljak said.
Students who helped organize the protest said in a statement that officers punched them and described the rally as a peaceful protest of a repressive school administration. No snowballs or punches were thrown at officers, the organizers said.
More than 125 students rallied at UWM's student union at noon and later marched to the chancellor's office, according to several accounts.
Luljak said a representative of the protesters was invited into Chapman Hall and asked to deliver any demands from the protesters. The student representative later yelled at the crowd, telling everyone to try to enter, Luljak said. That's when police intervened.
Four officers were knocked to the ground, Luljak said. UWM's police chief asked Milwaukee police for help.

What Are The Dangers Of Passing On A Motorcycle?
National, Personal Injury
Commonplace roadway maneuvers can be extremely dangerous for motorcyclists if something goes awry because they lack the protective shielding of a car. Recently, a motorcyclist lost control of his vehicle while passing another vehicle on K-10 near mile-marker 11.9. Motorcycle safety experts advise speeding up while passing to avoid spending too much time in the passed vehicle's blind spot. It is likely that the motorcyclist lost control and swerved off the road while accelerating through the other vehicle's blind spot. Emergency crews soon arrived and escorted the seriously injured motorcyclist to the nearby Overland Park Regional Medical Center for treatment.
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, it is best to consult with an experienced motorcycle accident attorney.

I'm delighted to announce a new dataviz project called 'Data to Viz'.
From Data to Viz is a classification of chart types based on input data format. It comes in the form of a decision tree leading to a set of potentially appropriate visualizations to represent the dataset.
The decision trees are available in a poster that has been presented at UseR in Brisbane.
The project is built on two underlying philosophies. First, that most data analysis can be summarized in about twenty different dataset formats. Second, that both data and context determine the appropriate chart.
Thus, our suggested method consists in identifying and trying all feasible chart types to find out which suits your data and idea best.
Once this set of graphic identified, data-to-viz.com aims to guide you toward the best decision.
– portfolio – an overview of all chart possibilities. For each, an extensive description is given, showing variations, pros and cons, common pitfalls and more.
– stories – for each input data format, a real life example is analyzed to illustrate the different chart types applicable to it.
– caveat gallery – a list of common dataviz pitfalls, with suggested workarounds.
From Data to Viz aims to give general advices for data visualization in general and is not targeting R users especialy.
However, 100% of the charts are made using R, mostly using ggplot2 and the tidyverse. The reproducible code snippets are always available. The biggest part of the website is built using R Markdown, using a good amount of hacks described here.
The website is tightly linked with the R graph gallery. Once you've identified the graphic that suits your needs, you will be redirected to the appropriate section of the gallery to get the R code in minutes.
From Data to Viz is still in beta version, and a lot remains to be done. The caveat gallery is incomplete and some chart types are missing. Also, a few inaccuracies may be present in the decision tree. Last but not least the English is horrible but this is not likely to change unfortunately, I apologize for that.
If you find any mistake or potential improvement, please fill an issue on GitHub, contact me at Yan.holtz.data@gmail.com or on twitter, or leave a comment below. Any feedback will be very welcome.
The Genetic Map Comparator is an R Shiny application made to compare and characterize genetic maps. You can use it through the online version and read the related publication in Bioinformatics.
A word cloud (or tag cloud) is a visual representation of text data. Tags are usually single words, and the importance of each tag is shown with font size or color. This mode of representation is useful for quickly perceiving the most prominent terms in a list and determine their relative prominences. In R, two libraries will allow you to create wordclouds: Wordcloud and Wordcloud2. In this post I will introduce the main features of the awesome Wordcloud2 library developed by Chiffon Lang.
Welcome to the R graph gallery! One year ago, I realised that I was tired of learning how to code R charts again and again so I decided to create a reproducible code for each of them. I ultimately designed a new R graph gallery: a website that currently provides more than 200 R graphics and explains how to generate them.
The R graph gallery is almost 1 year old. I am starting a blogpage which will concern dataviz with R of course!

On the Rocks: 7 Quarry Hikes
Susan RoseA seat fit for a king can be found at New York's Dibble's Quarry, one of many great quarry hikes in the region.
Typically we seek nature to get away from human development. But in the case of the Northeast's abandoned stone quarries, a past industrial age has left us with especially dramatic landscapes: sheer cliffs, jagged rock piles, deep pools. Not all quarries are open to the public, so before exploring one, make sure that it's legal to do so. And as on all steep, rocky terrain, hike with extreme care. Here are seven old quarries where hikers are welcomed.
Settlement Quarry | Stonington, Maine
A small network of trails and old roads provides access to Settlement Quarry, situated on the rocky Maine Coast, in Penobscot Bay. Granite from this site was shipped to New York for construction of many of Manhattan's bridges, to Boston for the Museum of Fine Arts, and to many other prominent sites down the East Coast. Follow the orange-blazed Glacial Erratic Trail, then take the quarry road to the Overlook Trail and enjoy the view over Webb Cove. Return via the Overlook or Grout Pile trails and the quarry road. Stop at the nearby Deer Isle Granite Museum to learn more about the region's rich geological and industrial history.
Info: Island Heritage Trust of Deer Isle and Stonington, Maine
Sugarloaf Trail | Bethlehem, N.H.
This two-peak hike summits the modest North (2,310 ft.) and Middle (2,539 ft.) Sugarloaf mountains from a trailhead on Zealand Road, in the White Mountain National Forest. Large boulders, dropped by the glaciers that shaped these mountains, dot the Sugarloaf Trail. Go left at the T-intersection (0.9 miles) to summit Middle Sugarloaf, then return and go the other way to reach North Sugarloaf. About 0.2 mile beyond the T, partway up North Sugarloaf, is an abandoned quarry. It's no deep hole in the ground, but rather a pile of loose rock—including smoky quartz. Enjoy looking for samples, but leave what you find for the next hikers to enjoy.
Distance: 3.4 miles round-trip
Info: AMC's Best Day Hikes in the White Mountains, 2nd Edition (AMC Books); White Mountain Guide Online
Becket Land Trust Historic Quarry and Forest | Becket, Mass.
An industrial past and a naturally wild present overlap in Becket, Mass. A hardwood forest and vibrant wildflowers highlight a 3-mile hike that leads to a view over western Massachusetts. Several relics of this property's past life remain, including evidence of the railways that carried giant stone blocks away. Interpretive signage tells their story. You can follow these numbered posts for the duration of the hike—there are 14 in all. Some of the trails skirt the edge of the old quarry pit, with its 65-foot walls. Hike with care here.
Distance: 3 miles
Info: AMC's Best Day Hikes in the Berkshires (AMC Books); Becket Land Trust
Lime Kiln Wildlife Sanctuary | Sheffield, Mass.
To explore the fields and forests of this property, follow the blue blazes from the Silver Street parking area and then the yellow blazes on your return trip. Your route will follow the Quarry, Ovenbird, and Taconic Vista trails before you finish your hike on the Lime Kiln Loop. Several abandoned quarry pits highlight this hike—one of them, often filled with water, may be evolving into a vernal pool. Views of the distant Taconic Mountains are another highlight of this hike.
Info: AMC's Best Day Hikes in the Berkshires (AMC Books); Mass Audubon
Sleeping Giant State Park | Hamden, Conn.
The "sleeping giant"-shaped profile of this mountain gives this state park its name. While 32 miles of trails weave through the park, a 3.2-mile figure-eight hike will quickly take you to one of the area's most dramatic spots. Follow the Blue/Quinnipiac Trail up and along Sleeping Giant to a tower then return to the parking area via the Tower Road. Between the giant's elbow and head, the trail passes above an old quarry located at the base of a 300-foot cliff to the left (this section can be particularly dangerous when wet). Though this hike only gains 620 vertical feet, the terrain is challenging. Many views highlight this route, which climbs and descends steeply across the rocky terrain.

Twin Mountain | Elka Park, N.Y.
The two peaks of Twin Mountain provide views across the Catskills' Indian Head Wilderness. Follow the Pecoy Notch Trail to Dibble's Quarry, a prime example of a Catskills bluestone quarry—and the site of some of the hike's best views. Visitors have stacked some of the loose stone into giant thrones. Continue up to the Long Path and go left. From the first summit of Twin Mountain, the view extends south over many of the Catskills' high peaks. The second summit is another 0.5-mile away and provides views to the east. Catskills bluestone was once used to pave streets across the country, including those of New York City.
Distance: 4.4 miles out-and-back
Info: AMC's Best Day Hikes in the Catskills and Hudson Valley, 2nd ed. (AMC Books); Catskill Mountain Guide, 3rd ed. (AMC Books); Catskill Forest Preserve
Alapocas Run State Park | Wilmington, Del.
Alapocas Run offers several miles of easy hiking within Wilmington's city limits. From the Blue Ball Barn parking area, follow the Northern Delaware Greenway Trail and connect to the Alapocas Woods Trail near the bank of Brandywine Creek. Meander along this rolling, wooded trail and the connecting Pawpaw Loop Trail. You can reconnect with the Greenway Trail along the creek, where you'll find an old quarry. Gneiss cliffs rise above, evidence of the stone removed from the site during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
