Bangladesh sends back boatloads of Rohingya fleeing Myanmar violence
By Associated Press, Updated: Tuesday, June 12, 5:02 PM
DHAKA, Bangladesh — Bangladesh says it has sent back 11 boats packed with about 500 Rohingya Muslims fleeing violence in neighboring Myanmar.
A government official in Cox's Bazar district, Mohammad Jainul Bari says border forces have been asked by the central government to not allow any refugees from Myanmar to enter the country.
Bari says at least 500 people aboard 11 wooden boats have tried to enter Bangladesh over the past three days.
Riots between Buddhists and minority Muslims have left at least 12 people dead in Myanmar's Rakhine state since Friday.
The United Nations' refugee agency estimates 800,000 Rohingya live in mountainous Rakhine state. Thousands attempt to flee every year to Bangladesh, Malaysia and elsewhere in the region, trying to escape a life of abuse.

Deborah Kass
b. 1952 San Antonio, Texas | Lives and works in New York
Deborah Kass (born 1952) is an American artist whose work explores the intersection of pop culture, art history, and the construction of self. Says Kass, "I use history as a readymade. I use the language of painting to talk about value and meaning. How has art history constructed power and meaning? How has it reflected the culture at large? How does art and the history of art describe power?"
Work by Kass is in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum of Art, The Solomon Guggenheim Museum, The Jewish Museum, The Museum of Fine Art, Boston, The Cincinnati Museum, The New Orleans Museum, The National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institute, Fogg/ Harvard Museum, as well as other museums and private collections.
Kass's work has been shown nationally and internationally including at the Venice Biennale, the Istanbul Biennale, and the Museum Ludwig, Cologne. The Andy Warhol Museum presented "Deborah Kass, Before and Happily Ever After, Mid- Career Retrospective" in 2012, with a catalogue published by Rizzoli. Her monumental sculpture OY/YO in Brooklyn Bridge Park become an instant icon, and is now installed in front of the Brooklyn Museum. In 2018 Kass was inducted into The National Academy. In 2014 Kass was inducted into the New York Foundation for the Arts Hall of Fame. She was honored with the Passionate Artist Award by the Neuberger Museum in 2016 and was the Cultural Honoree at the Jewish Museum in 2017. She serves on the boards of the Sharpe Walentas Studio Program and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

The discovery in 1991 of high temperature superconductivity (SC) in A3C60 compounds, where A is an alkali ion, has been rapidly ascribed to a BCS mechanism, in which the pairing is mediated by on ball optical phonon modes. While this has lead to consider that electronic correlations were not important in these compounds, further studies of various AnC60 with n=1, 2, 4 allowed to evidence that their electronic properties cannot be explained by a simple progressive band filling of the C60 six-fold degenerate t1u molecular level. This could only be ascribed to the simultaneous influence of electron correlations and Jahn-Teller Distortions (JTD) of the C60 ball, which energetically favour evenly charged C60 molecules. This is underlined by the recent discovery of two expanded fulleride Cs3C60 isomeric phases which are Mott insulators at ambient pressure. Both phases undergo a pressure induced first order Mott transition to SC with a (p, T) phase diagram displaying a dome shaped SC, a common situation encountered nowadays in correlated electron systems. NMR experiments allowed us to study the magnetic properties of the Mott phases and to evidence clear deviations from BCS expectations near the Mott transition. So, although SC involves an electron-phonon mechanism, the incidence of electron correlations has an importance on the electronic properties, as had been anticipated from DMFT calculations.

What Went Wrong: Penn State
Because this dead horse isn't going to beat itself.
By Zach Travis Oct 16, 2013, 9:36am CDT
Share All sharing options for: What Went Wrong: Penn State
Justin K. Aller
We've been here before. Not exactly here, as this is Michigan's first loss, but somewhere close where after the game it seems all we have are negative takeaways and worries for the future. Michigan continues to do the same things wrong, and it has hurt the team repeatedly. This was the first game in which these mistakes cost Michigan in the win column, but the consistency of these issues and the escalation of competition means that this is surely not the last time we are here. Let's slog through this one more time.
You're Not Supposed To Set Them Up In the Red Zone
When Devin Gardner threw the worst interception in the history of football against Notre Dame we all shrugged and said, "well, it can't get any worse".
It has.
Not in terms of one single play, but in three of Michigan's last four games it has handed the opposition easy points far too often. Michigan gave away a touchdown (pick-six) against Akron and a field goal thanks to a shanked punt. The next week against UConn a fumble return touchdown and an interception returned inside Michigan's red zone meant 14 points. Against Penn State it was two interceptions that set Penn State up with 24- and 20-yard fields and two more touchdowns. In those three games, Michigan has allowed just five touchdown drives of over 50 yards on defense. The offense has completely erased that massive advantage thanks to giving up two defensive touchdowns on turnovers and setting the opposing offense up for three more touchdowns on short fields.
This is absolutely the biggest issue going forward, and it doesn't even count all the other turnovers and special teams miscues that have robbed Michigan of what could have been fruitful possessions. Consider:
Game Points Given Up (Off) Points Allowed on 50+ Yd Drives Scoring Margin
Akron 7 14 +4
UConn 14 7 +3
Penn State 14 14 -3
Michigan's defense has taken some heat for its struggles late against Akron and Penn State, but you absolutely can't fault the defense for its full game effort. Michigan's offense has turned three 10+point wins into nailbiters simply by giving away scores. This is even worse when you consider the level of competition.
In games against teams with strong defenses (MSU, OSU) Michigan is going to have a much harder time overcoming late deficits after ceding so much ground earlier in the game.
Forget limiting turnovers — if Michigan could just keep its turnovers from becoming easy touchdowns for opposing teams, the Wolverines would be in much better shape (as well as 6-0 without nearly the same level of hand wringing over it).
You're Going The Wrong Way
Once again, Michigan's offense gave up negative play after negative play to the Penn State defense. The offensive line should officially have everyone in panic mode for the foreseeable future. Michigan spent all game blowing assignments and giving up inexcusable TFLs. How many did Penn State finish with for the game? Eleven for 44 yards (three sacks).
Michigan ran the ball 30 times with its tailbacks. How bad was it? Let's look at the numbers.
1st down: Michigan ran the ball 15 times total for an average of 1.9 yards/carry. Six of those runs went for a loss or no gain while three more went for just one yard. Only one run (a 12-yard run by Toussaint in the first quarter) went over 10 yards.
2nd down: Michigan was somehow worse on second down, running the ball 11 times for just two total yards. Four of those runs were for no gain, three were for negative yardage, and only two plays (three and four yard runs) went for more than a single yard.
3rd down: Unsurprisingly, Michigan didn't get the chance to run much on third down, given the exceedingly long third down attempts it faced. Michigan had just four runs on third-down. Three went for no gain and another went for a three yard loss.
For the day, MIchigan's run totals went like this:
Negative 6 (-17 yards)
No Gain 11
1-3 Yards 9
4+ Yards 4
I am running out of ways to format these numbers to show how badly Michigan performed running with its tailbacks. Nearly 60% of Michigan's tailback run plays on the day either lost yardage or broke even.
Michigan did get 121 yards on 24 carries from Devin Gardner, but because of blocking deficiencies and a stubborn adherence to running play calls that continue to not work, Michigan essentially set 17 downs on fire and got a below average return for its investment on another nine.
On the year, Michigan is one of the worst teams in the nation when it comes to allowing negative plays in the run game. Michigan is allowing eight TFLs per game on the year. Only six teams in the nation are worse, and they have a combined record of 10-26.
Is It Supposed To Be This Hard
Do you know what happens when a team can't run the ball effectively with its tailback but does it anyway? That team ends up staring down a lot of long third-down conversion attempts. MGoBlog's Mathlete explains how bad this is:
Michigan's average third down is 7.6 yards. They haven't had a single game better than 7 yards to go on average for third down. 95 teams average less than 7 yards to go on third down for the season. 95 teams average third down is better than Michigan's best game average.
He also talks more about how bad Michigan's run game has been, so be sure not to miss that if you hate yourself and want to feel bad about the thing you hold most dear.
Against Penn State Michigan picked up just four of its 18 third-down attempts. This is so ludicrously bad that I can't even bring myself to laugh at it. What's worse is that this is the same thing that has been plaguing Michigan's offense all season long in games like these.
Michigan's defense thrives on forcing teams to complete long drives down the field to score after 10-12 plays, because it leaves more room for mistakes that lead to punts. Unfortunately, Michigan's offense plays the kind of herky jerky offense that is stopped up by this defense. Michigan had three touchdown drives that went longer than 70 yards in a game where the team converted just four third-down attempts.
The talent on offense is there. Michigan has the receivers to make big plays in the passing game and a quarterback capable of picking up yards on the ground and through the air. Once Devin Gardner shook off his bad start he put together a solid game. But Michigan's offense as a whole is so erratic that it can't grind out drives because it refuses to set itself up for easier third-down conversions.
For the better part of the first month of the season these things all had a bright side: they could be improved upon and Michigan's offense could settle into a rhythm in which it would effectively move the ball against most defenses.
This is Michigan. A team that has no reliable tailback run game, can't set itself up for manageable third-downs, and will routinely give up crippling interceptions that put the defense at a huge disadvantage. This isn't going to change. Michigan is going to spend the season as the same gut-wrenching highwire act it has been since Akron. Some days it'll plummet to the net below, Some days, no matter how many times a foot slips, Michigan will make it to the other side.
Strap in, because we've probably got a few more of these columns coming before it is all said and done.

Metro Manila retains GCQ status, Iligan City to be placed under stricter MECQ starting Sept. 1
By CNN Philippines Staff
Published Aug 31, 2020 11:06:00 PM
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, August 31) — President Rodrigo Duterte announced on Monday that Metro Manila will retain its general community quarantine status, while Iligan City will tighten its lockdown restrictions from Sept. 1 to 30.
Duterte said the country's capital will remain under GCQ as the government continues to carry out its enhanced strategies to help arrest the spread of the coronavirus.
Metro Manila so far has tallied over 122,000 cases of the viral disease or 55 percent of the national case count, based on the Department of Health data.
Along with four provinces, it eased back to GCQ on Aug. 19, after having been placed under a stricter lockdown status.
Over the past two weeks under relaxed rules, around 18,000 more Metro Manila residents have been infected with COVID-19, the DOH reported.
The region's daily figures consistently pushed it to the top of the list of areas nationwide with the most number of new cases.
Health Secretary Francisco Duque III earlier said reverting to a higher quarantine status is no longer a viable option as doing so would "irreversibly injure, if not damage the economy beyond repair." Instead of tightening protocols again, Duque underlined the importance of more stringent implementation of contact tracing and other measures to prevent further viral transmission.
Even so, the government has decided to put Iligan City in Northern Mindanao under a stricter modified enhanced community quarantine after seeing a spike in COVID-19 cases.
Meanwhile, Duterte also approved the Inter-Agency Task Force's recommendation to place the following areas under GCQ: Bulacan, Batangas, Tacloban City, and Bacolod City.
The rest of the country will be under a modified GCQ until September 30.
To date, the national COVID-19 tally has breached 220,000, of which nearly 60,000 are active cases or currently ill patients.
The University of the Philippines OCTA Research team projected that cases could surge to 375,000 by the end of September, while the virus's reproductive rate is seen to further decline. For Metro Manila alone, it said total infections could range from 180,000 to 215,000 by end-September.
The researchers also predicted that the country may be able to flatten the coronavirus curve by next month, but stressed that a downward trend must be sustained for several months to manage the pandemic.
Dr. Guido David, a member of the research group, reiterated that the flattening of the curve does not mean there will no longer be any active COVID-19 cases in the country. He said it only means that there's already a downward trend in infections, and that the country is able to slow transmission rate.

Q: Unable to access ajax response property directly although it's there I have the following JSON string returned from json_encode function of PHP 5.3.10 to jQuery 1.9.1
{
   "messsages":{
      "error":["API_CONTROLLER.INVALID_LOGIN_PASSWORD"],
      "warning":[],
      "notice":[],
      "success":[]
   },
   "result":false
}

The jQuery code:
$.ajax(targetURL, {
   type: method,
   data: params,
   dataType: "json",
   success: function(resp){
      console.log(resp); //Shows object with all vars correctly displayed

      //The for loop also outputs all keys and values correctly
      for(var i in resp){
         console.log("I: "+i);
         console.log("RESP: ");
         console.log(resp[i]);
      }

      console.log("DIRECT ACCESS");
      console.log(resp.messages); //WHY undefined?
      //console.log(resp.messages[error]); //undefined
      //console.log(resp.messages[error][0]); //undefined
      //console.log(resp.messages.error); //undefined
      //console.log(resp.messages.length); //Just trying => undefined
      console.log(resp.result); //this works!
      //console.log(resp[messages]); //Just trying => undefined
   }
});

How can I access messages?
The first console.log and loop shows that messages are present and also messages.error, messages.notice, etc... exist. But how can I access them? Is this kind of jQuery error?

A: You have three 's' in the name of messages var of your response. So it works while in the loop, but fails when you trying to access unexisting 'messages'.

A: Fix the typo first (messsages) then you can rewrite your code a bit :)
And please use JavaScript Developer Tools in Google Chrome.
{
   "messages":{
      "error":["API_CONTROLLER.INVALID_LOGIN_PASSWORD"],
      "warning":[],
      "notice":[],
      "success":[]
   },
   "result":false
}

The jQuery code:

var performLogin = function(){
 return $.getJSON(targetURL, params).done(function(response){

      // TODO - do something with response

      console.log(response.messages);
      console.log(response.messages[error]);
      console.log(response.messages[error][0]);
      console.log(response.messages.error);
      console.log(response.messages.length);
      console.log(response.result);
      console.log(response[messages]);
   });
}

Cherry Chip Cake with chocolate ganache, vanilla whipped buttercream, and a retro, diner-inspired finish.
This cake is so much fun!! A bright pink interior from sugary sweet maraschino cherries with Tiffany blue buttercream? Yes, this cake certainly is a dream. But really – I've been thinking and dreaming about this cake for over a year now. I am constantly brainstorming new cake flavors and decoration ideas. This one in particular (blue frosting and all) popped into my brain last winter, and I am so excited to finally share it with you all!
Between holiday baking and seasonal assignments, this fun, whimsical cake kept getting pushed to the back-burner. I kept it on my "to-bake" list month after month. The idea waited patiently as berry season came and went, while my short obsession for braided pie crust took up all of fall 2016, and for my brief trial with gluten-free baking to last just long enough to stock up on a dozen different alternative flours that have now been pushed to the back of the pantry.
But as winter rolled around again, this cake idea floated back up to the top of the list. When the only produce in season is citrus and you need something bright and playful to chase away the winter blues, jarred cherries and artificial hues come to the rescue!!
For as long as I've been decorating cakes, I've been wanting to make a cake inspired by my favorite Wayne Thiebaud paintings. He attended college in my hometown of Sacramento, CA and even taught at my Alma mater, UC Davis, so I've always felt a small connection to his work. Plus cake, obviously (Does anyone know if they are still on display at the Crocker Art Museum?). This cherry cake is not quite like his paintings, but the swag detail is definitely similar. One day, I would LOVE to create a scene of cakes that replicates this famous painting, but today I will settle for a Thiebaud X retro diner cake "swag" instead.
As you can imagine, the cake here itself is fairly sweet. Studded with maraschino cherries, the pink hued layers will have your tastebuds dancing in no time. My recipes tend to encompass all sorts of ingredients and styles from rustic bakes using wholesome grains and seasonal produce to death-by-chocoalte pastries and technicolored cakes. This cake definitely lies on the playful, sugar-filled end of the spectrum. To help balance out the flavors, a thin layer of bittersweet ganache is spread between the cherry chip cake and whipped vanilla frosting.
Head on over to The Cake Blog for the full recipe!!

Treasure Island at the New Vic Theatre
December 7, 2017 By jerobear
The New Vic Theatre's Christmas production (it's not a panto) (oh no it's not) is a new adaptation of the famous RL Stevenson book Treasure Island.
The book created much of the modern mythology of pirates (maps, Xs marking spots, pieces of eight and wooden legs) and all the trademark piratical images are seen on stage.
The story launches with an old sailor coming to lodge at the Admiral Benbow Inn. Jim Hawkins is now Gem (Nisa Cole) and the inn, as established by the opening song, is a place where little goes on. The inn is frequented by locals, as well as the local gentry, Squire Trelawny (Andy Burse) and Dr Livesey (Ellen Chivers).
After visits from mysterious strangers, the sailor drops down dead, having walked his last plank, and Gem finds the treasure map. Trelawny decides to charter a boat, which he crews with various dubious characters including Long John Silver (Tom Peters) and Darby Mcgraw, a rum woman pirate (Lauryn Redding). They are accompanied by Smollett (Richard Costello). They set sail on the Hispaniola, for the distant and eponymous island.
Gem, who suspects the crew are bad 'uns, goes ashore and meets Ben Gunn, (William Pennington) who tells him he was marooned there but knows where the treasure is. The baddies go off and the goodies gather in the stockade where, after refusing Silver's offer of a truce, a gun battle ensues. Gem scarpers and captures the ship, only crewed by a wounded Israel Hands, whom she shoots, before returning to the stockade to be greeted by Silver.
Looking for the treasure, they come across a skeleton then realise the treasure has gone, before a final battle leaves Silver and the goodies with the money.
Well, that's what I think happened.
This year's production is different to those of previous years in that there is more music and less plot; towards the end, it all gets a little confusing. I'm not sure whose side Smollett was even on. Then again, JK Rowling has made millions not bothering that the end of her books are incoherent, so who's going to argue?
By more music, I mean that there are more songs and more people performing, and to a higher standard, so much so that the musicians have their own little deck and are not in a corner of the stage (if a corner is possible in the round).
We've got used to seeing some of the same faces at Christmas shows but this year they're all new; possibly this is because of the greater musical demands. Leon Scott (Israel Hands) can clearly play drums properly, while Richard Costello delivers some nifty electric guitar. (I Googled him: he's a professional guitar player, got an HGV licence, spent seven years as a firefighter and has a crane operator's licence — leave some work for the rest of us, mate). (Sorry: shipmate). Lauryn Redding can play banjo, banjolele, bass guitar, clarinet, double bass, drums, guitar, piano, saxophone and ukulele.
All this means is that the play is easier for the kids — lots of songs, more sword-fighting and some guns, with less dull bits where boring adults are just speaking some words — and it's more entertaining; so what if you're not exactly sure who is who and what's exactly going on? Pantos are not noted for complex plots and literary scripts.
It's also more of an ensemble piece than in previous years, and the greater emphasis on song means there's less scope for actors to stand out. Nisa Cole is good as Gem Hawkins and Tom Peters ditto as Long John Silver. We also liked Leon Scott, admittedly mainly because he can play drums and had nice hair.
I asked the kids which the bit they liked best and they said: "All of it," which is about the benchmark a kids' Christmas production should aim to reach.
Performances run until 27th January, 7.30pm with matinees at 2.15pm on selected dates.

How can you make your business more energy efficient?
What's Changed?
There's been a major shift in the way electricity is being generated and consumed in the UK, which is having a big impact on businesses of all sizes.
New figures show the amount of electricity generated in the UK last year fell to its lowest level in 25 years. At the same time, output from renewable sources rose to a record high, generating an estimated 33% of the UK total in 2018.
In combination with nuclear, low-carbon sources contributed 53% of UK generation in 2018, with the share from fossil fuels at its lowest ever.
There are several known contributory factors to the decline in UK electricity generation and demand since 2005. They include product energy efficiency regulations, energy efficient lighting, environmentally conscious consumers and economic restructuring, including offshoring of energy-intensive industries.
While the benefits of using low carbon technology are clear, what might not be so obvious is that it can also help to safeguard the future of yo ur business.
There is significant untapped potential for businesses to continue cutting their electricity use by replacing old appliances at the end of their lives with the latest models and upgrading their equipment to the latest technologies.
The figures underline the continuing shift towards more sustainable energy sources and the fact that consumers and businesses alike are now looking at more efficient ways of generating and consuming electricity.
With less electricity being produced overall, and more from renewable sources, it's critical that users find ways to reduce their consumption… or risk not being able to access enough electricity to meet their needs.
How HVAC can help your business become more energy efficient
When it comes to HVAC, energy efficiency is a hot topic.
Heating and cooling accounts for half of the EU's energy consumption, which means that an efficient system can not only increase productivity and profits, but also have a big impact on your carbon footprint and energy bills.
To ensure you have the best HVAC system, here are some top tips to improve your energy efficiency, helping to keep bills low and profits high.
The first step is to ensure that your HVAC system is right for your building and business.
For example, buildings with high ceilings can install destratification fans that blow warm air to ground level to reduce their energy consumption by up to 20%.
In addition, you should also make sure your system doesn't waste energy in unneeded places.
For instance, even though good ventilation is essential, it accounts for near 30% of heat loss in most commercial buildings.
Making the most of the latest technologies can also help.
As a Daikin D1 Diamond Business Partner, we have access to the very latest innovations and equipment, including its Altherma heat exchange systems, which extract renewable energy from the air, to provide heating and hot water to your premises in a much more efficient and sustainable way.
Air-to-water high temperature heat pumps are ideal for renovations and for replacing old boilers. Their compact design requires minimal installation space and integrates seamlessly with your existing piping and radiators.
It means you can enjoy the energy efficiency of a heat pump without having to replace your entire system.
Powered by 65% renewable energy extracted from the air and 35% electricity, they have an A+ energy efficiency label, to help increase energy and cost savings.
We also recently made the switch to R32, a more energy efficient refrigerant than R410A, which is currently the standard option in the industry.
R32 has been used in Japan for more than two years and is rapidly gaining popularity in the UK.
Unlike R410A, R32 is made from a single component, which makes it easier to use, handle and recycle because the ingredients don't separate. It has lower toxicity levels and is more difficult to ignite, making it safer to use within commercial and residential premises.
And with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675, R32 is less than half of R410A, which has a GWP of over 2,000. By 2025 any gas with over 750 GWP will not be allowed in low-charge split air conditioning systems, so R32 provides a great way to future-proof your business.
Finally, one of the biggest energy efficiency tips relies on temperature control.
Most of us know that lowering temperatures can save energy – but it can be surprising to see the difference this can make.
By lowering set points by just 1°C, you can reduce your annual heating bill by up to eight per cent.
Smart technology and digitalisation of HVAC systems hold the key to harnessing ideal set temperatures for your system.
By monitoring your system, smart technology can give you the information about its operation, optimum temperatures and where energy is being wasted. With this, you can easily adjust the system to suit your business and needs, saving an average of 23% energy consumption in your premises.
How PCPM can help
At PCPM, we believe in providing energy efficient HVAC solutions to meet your exact requirements.
With complete project management, from design to installation, we ensure that your business benefits from reliable and efficient solutions built to last.

Keya Trammell Was Bullied for Alopecia. Now She is Bald and Proud.
Jay Shefsky | August 14, 2019 5:16 pm
Sometimes, the very thing that brings a person the most trouble in life can become a source of joy and inspiration.
Keya Trammell has a condition called alopecia, which caused her to start losing her hair when she was just 2 years old. Though she covered her head with hats, scarves and wigs, she was often teased by others kids. Her wig fell off once in first grade. In middle school her first crush hurled insults at her on a school bus. And adults, she says, always assumed she had cancer.
Trammell, now 27, is an aspiring singer who performs as Gifted Keys. She always wore wigs on stage and in videos until about four years ago, when her grandmother convinced her to bare her bald head. Trammell's first au natural video went viral: 1.3 million views on Facebook and more on World Star Hip Hop.
The thousands of comments included people loving her look – and many who trashed it. That was tough, she says, but she says it gave her even more reason to proudly bald.
"I felt like I should take on the responsibility to walk the streets bald. To walk the streets as an alopecian. And the moment I did that, I felt like myself for the very first time. I was just like, 'This is me. And I'm good with me.'" She says that after that she handles the familiar questions with a different attitude. "When you're good with yourself, other people are like, 'Hey why are you bald?' and I'm like, 'Oh, I've got alopecia!'"
Keya Trammell (top row, center) with Jayla, Denise and Sharon Winkfield.
Keya Trammell with Zion Glass
Soon after that first video went viral, Trammell was performing – bald – in central Illinois. She saw a little bald girl in the audience. "And I saw her mother crying," she remembers. "And I was like, 'I think that little girl has alopecia.'"
The girl was Zion Glass. Her mother Robyne Glass says Trammell was the first person besides Zion that she'd ever seen with alopecia.
Trammell says she felt like she was seeing a younger version of herself. Now she and her young protégé are in touch often.
"It's a blessing," said Robyne Glass. "I just want Zion to know it's OK this is who she is and she's still gonna be amazing. And then to meet Keya and to see that she's actually walked in the same shoes as Zion, that's a major load lifted off me."
Now Trammell mentors and inspires a lot of girls with alopecia, like sisters Jayla and Denise Winkfield. They and their mother Sharon were at Trammell's recent concert in Hazel Crest, Illinois.
"She should be like a poster girl for alopecia," said Sharon Winkfield.
"I think she's a good role model to children like me because she's not stopping what she's doing. She's not stopping life trying to be sad and stuff," said Jayla Winkfield. "But she's moving on and going to bigger places and doing greater things with her life."
Keya Trammell performs at The Promontory in Hyde Park on Tuesday, Aug. 20.
On Friday, Sept. 27, Trammell is organizing a special section at a White Sox game for those with alopecia, and their friends.

Renaissance technology was the set of European artifacts and inventions which spread through the Renaissance period, roughly the 14th century through the 16th century. The era is marked by profound technical advancements such as the printing press, linear perspective in drawing, patent law, double shell domes and bastion fortresses. Sketchbooks from artisans of the period (Taccola and Leonardo da Vinci, for example) give a deep insight into the mechanical technology then known and applied.

Renaissance science spawned the Scientific Revolution; science and technology began a cycle of mutual advancement.

Renaissance technology
Some important Renaissance technologies, including both innovations and improvements on existing techniques:
mining and metallurgy
blast furnace enabled iron to be produced in significant quantities
finery forge enabled pig iron (from the blast furnace) into bar iron (wrought iron)
slitting mill mechanized the production of iron rods for nailmaking
smeltmill increased the output of lead over previous methods (bole hill)

Late 14th century
Some of the technologies were the arquebus and the musket.

15th century
The technologies that developed in Europe during the second half of the 15th century were commonly associated by authorities of the time with a key theme in Renaissance thought: the rivalry of the Moderns and the Ancients. Three inventions in particular — the printing press, firearms, and the nautical compass — were indeed seen as evidence that the Moderns could not only compete with the Ancients, but had surpassed them, for these three inventions allowed modern people to communicate, exercise power, and finally travel at distances unimaginable in earlier times.

Crank and connecting rod

The crank and connecting rod mechanism which converts circular into reciprocal motion is of utmost importance for the mechanization of work processes; it is first attested for Roman water-powered sawmills. During the Renaissance, its use is greatly diversified and mechanically refined; now connecting-rods are also applied to double compound cranks, while the flywheel is employed to get these cranks over the 'dead-spot'. Early evidence of such machines appears, among other things, in the works of the 15th-century engineers Anonymous of the Hussite Wars and Taccola. From then on, cranks and connecting rods become an integral part of machine design and are applied in ever more elaborate ways: Agostino Ramelli's The Diverse and Artifactitious Machines of 1588 depicts eighteen different applications, a number which rises in the 17th-century Theatrum Machinarum Novum by Georg Andreas Böckler to forty-five.

Printing press

The introduction of the mechanical movable type printing press by the German goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg (1398–1468) is widely regarded as the single most important event of the second millennium, and is one of the defining moments of the Renaissance. The Printing Revolution which it sparks throughout Europe works as a modern "agent of change" in the transformation of medieval society.

The mechanical device consists of a screw press modified for printing purposes which can produce 3,600 pages per workday, allowing the mass production of printed books on a proto-industrial scale. By the start of the 16th century, printing presses are operating in over 200 cities in a dozen European countries, producing more than twenty million volumes. By 1600, their output had risen tenfold to an estimated 150 to 200 million copies, while Gutenberg book printing spread from Europe further afield.

The relatively free flow of information transcends borders and induced a sharp rise in Renaissance literacy, learning and education; the circulation of (revolutionary) ideas among the rising middle classes, but also the peasants, threatens the traditional power monopoly of the ruling nobility and is a key factor in the rapid spread of the Protestant Reformation. The dawn of the Gutenberg Galaxy, the era of mass communication, is instrumental in fostering the gradual democratization of knowledge which sees for the first time modern media phenomena such as the press or bestsellers emerging.  The prized incunables, which are testimony to the aesthetic taste and high proficient competence of Renaissance book printers, are one lasting legacy of the 15th century.

Parachute

The earliest known parachute design appears in an anonymous manuscript from 1470s Renaissance Italy; it depicts a free-hanging man clutching a crossbar frame attached to a conical canopy. As a safety measure, four straps run from the ends of the rods to a waist belt. Around 1485, a more advanced parachute was sketched by the polymath Leonardo da Vinci in his Codex Atlanticus (fol. 381v), which he scales in a more favorable proportion to the weight of the jumper. Leonardo's canopy was held open by a square wooden frame, altering the shape of the parachute from conical to pyramidal. The Venetian inventor Fausto Veranzio (1551–1617) modifies da Vinci's parachute sketch by keeping the square frame, but replacing the canopy with a bulging sail-like piece of cloth. This he realized decelerates the fall more effectively. Claims that Veranzio successfully tested his parachute design in 1617 by jumping from a tower in Venice cannot be substantiated; since he was around 65 years old at the time.

Mariner's astrolabe

The earliest recorded uses of the astrolabe for navigational purposes are by the Portuguese explorers Diogo de Azambuja (1481), Bartholomew Diaz (1487/88) and Vasco da Gama (1497–98) during their sea voyages around Africa.

Dry dock

While dry docks were already known in Hellenistic shipbuilding, these facilities were reintroduced in 1495/96, when Henry VII of England ordered one to be built at the Portsmouth navy base.

16th century
Floating dock

The earliest known description of a floating dock comes from a small Italian book printed in Venice in 1560, titled Descrittione dell'artifitiosa machina. In the booklet, an unknown author asks for the privilege of using a new method for the salvaging of a grounded ship and then proceeds to describe and illustrate his approach. The included woodcut shows a ship flanked by two large floating trestles, forming a roof above the vessel. The ship is pulled in an upright position by a number of ropes attached to the superstructure.

Lifting tower

A lifting tower was used to great effect by Domenico Fontana to relocate the monolithic Vatican obelisk in Rome. Its weight of 361 t was far greater than any of the blocks the Romans are known to have lifted by cranes.

Mining, machinery and chemistry
A standard reference for the state of mechanical arts during the Renaissance is given in the mining engineering treatise De re metallica (1556), which also contains sections on geology, mining and chemistry.  De re metallica was the standard chemistry reference for the next 180 years.

Early 17th century
Newspaper

The newspaper is an of the printing press from which the press derives its name. The 16th century sees a rising demand for up-to-date information which can not be covered effectively by the circulating hand-written newssheets. For "gaining time" from the slow copying process, Johann Carolus of Strassburg is the first to publish his German-language Relation by using a printing press (1605). In rapid succession, further German newspapers are established in Wolfenbüttel (Avisa Relation oder Zeitung), Basel, Frankfurt and Berlin. From 1618 onwards, enterprising Dutch printers take up the practice and begin to provide the English and French market with translated news. By the mid-17th century it is estimated that political newspapers which enjoyed the widest popularity reach up to 250,000 readers in the Holy Roman Empire, around one quarter of the literate population.

Air-gun

In 1607 Bartolomeo Crescentio described an air gun equipped with a powerful spiral spring, a device so complex that it must have had predecessors. In 1610 Mersenne spoke in detail of "sclopeti pneumatici constructio", and four years later Wilkins wrote enthusiastically of "that late ingenious invention the wind-gun" as being "almost equall to our powder-guns". In the 1650s Otto von Guericke, famed for his experiments with vacua and pressures, built the Madeburger Windbuchse, one of the technical wonders of its time.

Tools, devices, work processes

15th century
Cranked Archimedes' screw

The German engineer Konrad Kyeser equips in his Bellifortis (1405) the Archimedes' screw with a crank mechanism which soon replaces the ancient practice of working the pipe by treading.

Cranked reel

In the textile industry, cranked reels for winding skeins of yarn were introduced in the early 15th century.

Brace

The earliest carpenter's braces equipped with a U-shaped grip, that is with a compound crank, appears between 1420 and 1430 in Flanders.

Cranked well-hoist

The earliest evidence for the fitting of a well-hoist with cranks is found in a miniature of c. 1425 in the German Hausbuch of the Mendel Foundation.

Paddle wheel boat powered by crank and connecting rod mechanism

While paddle wheel boats powered by manually turned crankshafts were already conceived of by earlier writers such as Guido da Vigevano and the Anonymous Author of the Hussite Wars, the Italian Roberto Valturio much improves on the design in 1463 by devising a boat with five sets of parallel cranks which are all joined to a single power source by one connecting rod; the idea is also taken up by his compatriot Francesco di Giorgio.

Rotary grindstone with treadle

Evidence for rotary grindstones operated by a crank handle goes back to the Carolingian Utrecht Psalter. Around 1480, the crank mechanism is further mechanized by adding a treadle.

Geared hand-mill

The geared hand-mill, operated either with one or two cranks, appears in the 15th century.

16th century

Grenade musket

Two 16th-century German grenade muskets working with a wheellock mechanism are on display in the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, Munich.

Technical drawings of artist-engineers

The revived scientific spirit of the age can perhaps be best exemplified by the voluminous corpus of technical drawings which the artist-engineers left behind, reflecting the wide variety of interests the Renaissance homo universalis pursued. The establishment of the laws of linear perspective by Brunelleschi gave his successors, such as Taccola, Francesco di Giorgio Martini and Leonardo da Vinci, a powerful instrument to depict mechanical devices for the first time in a realistic manner. The extant sketch books give modern historians of science invaluable insights into the standards of technology of the time. Renaissance engineers showed a strong proclivity to experimental study, drawing a variety of technical devices, many of which appeared for the first time in history on paper.

However, these designs were not always intended to be put into practice, and often practical limitations impeded the application of the revolutionary designs. For example, da Vinci's ideas on the conical parachute or the winged flying machine were only applied much later. While earlier scholars showed a tendency to attribute inventions based on their first pictorial appearance to individual Renaissance engineers, modern scholarship is more prone to view the devices as products of a technical evolution which often went back to the Middle Ages.
